After the post guard left, Sister Sun walked up to Ye Xiaotian and said suspiciously: "Brother Xiaotian, this is ...... What's going on here? They have arrested us in a vicious way, but don't they have to go to jail? ”

A smile appeared on Ye Xiaotian's face, and he said, "Why do you care so much?" Hehe, although this yard is small, the room is still spacious, you go, each pick a house, ask the kitchen to send some hot water, take a bath and change clothes for a while, and I will take you to visit Nanjing City. Come and be safe! ”

Sister Sun has a rough heart, Mao Wen has a big heart, seeing that Ye Xiaotian is calm, the two of them also have a backbone, and immediately agreed happily, and rushed into the small courtyard with joy.

Ye Xiaotian didn't go in, he didn't suffer any abuse along the way, although his robe was slightly dirty, it was not unkempt and unkempt, so he walked away, first, to take a look at the surrounding environment, and second, to find out if there was anything serious in the imperial court recently.

He was taken to Nanjing as a feloon, but his situation suddenly changed so much, and the order to arrest him came from above, then there must have been some change from above. He didn't know exactly what was going on in the court, but it was certain that the bizarre changes he had had something to do with the changes in the court.

Thinking that Xu Boyi was excited to send him to Nanjing to die, but he enjoyed Qingfu here, and after those catchers brought the news back to Huxian, Xu Boyi had an ugly expression like eating, and Ye Xiaotian couldn't help laughing.

Walking around, Ye Xiaotian was interested, and sang: "The spring scenery is the first, and the green water and spring flow around the courtyard." The peach and apricot are like fire, the work stays, the idle has nothing to do but rides the bull, and the village children help the lazy gaze. Why are bankers so happy? Hugh, the emperor lives up to his honesty. ”

Ye Xiaotian's singing is round and full of taste, which is not inferior to the excellent Ling on the stage. He stopped talking here, and someone next to him suddenly answered: "I don't need to boast about being a banker, I am tired of the rich families in the city." There is nowhere to go when the food is full, and shrimp and toads are caught in the puddle. Haha......"

This person's lyrics are in the same scene as the song sung by Ye Xiaotian, and this person sings more charm than Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian looked at it curiously, but saw a person singing the song and walking towards him with a smile on his face.

This man is in his early thirties, with a white face and a slight beard, and a large forehead. Look at the dignified appearance, which makes people feel good at first sight. He arched his hand to Ye Xiaotian with a smile and said, "I don't want to meet my friends here, I don't know how to have a high surname, but I also live here?" ”

The pavilion was supposed to be a residence for officials who came here on business or passed through, but at this time, the discipline was far less strict than in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some officials' families, relatives and friends often stayed in the local pavilion when they went to other places. In this way, not only is there a lot of savings in travel expenses, but the inn is a temporary residence for officials, and the environment and security are much higher than that of the inn. The family members, relatives and friends of these officials staying in the pavilion are called "boarding houses".

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "The younger brother's surname is Ye, Ye Xiaotian." The classic history of Huxian County, Guizhou, temporarily lived here for some reason. I don't know if Brother Tai is ......"

Seeing that Ye Xiaotian was young, the man didn't expect that he would be an official at all, but he was also a relative and friend of an official who borrowed the pavilion. When I heard that he reported his identity, he was actually a canonical history, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Said: "It turns out that the foot is a classic history, disrespectful, disrespectful." Under the surname Tang, the name Xianzu, Linchuan people's clan, because there are people in the father's generation who are officials, and Yan Yan borrowed some time here. ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Tang, Brother Tang just sang that sentence, but it is full of charm!" ”

This sentence scratched Tang Xianzu's itch, and the two of them were good at opera, so they walked together and talked.

Listen to this Tang Xianzu talk about his origins, but he was also born in a scholarly family, he has been famous since he was a child, and he has learned quite a lot, not only proficient in poetry, astronomy and geography, medicine and divination are also involved, at the age of fourteen, he was selected for the show, and at the age of twenty-one, he was admitted to the examination, and since then he has been studying all over the world.

Ye Xiaotian listened to him narrate his origins, and exclaimed: "Brother Tang is really knowledgeable, with Brother Tang's knowledge, he should be looking forward to picking up bruises and purples in his career, why hasn't he been admitted to the Jinshi so far?" ”

When Tang Xianzu heard him ask, he sneered, and his expression showed resentment. As soon as Ye Xiaotian saw it, he knew that there was something hidden, and he immediately knew the opportunity and didn't ask. Tang Xianzu was silent for a moment, but took the initiative to reply: "The imperial examination, which was originally a way to select talents, has now become a scam for high-ranking officials and nobles to engage in fraud for personal gain and protect the wealth of their children and grandchildren, instead of judging people by their talents. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "How do you say this?" ”

Tang Xianzu said lightly: "In the fifth year of Wanli, Tang also participated in the imperial examination. Coincidentally, when Zhang Sixiu, the second son of Zhang Jiangling, the first assistant of the dynasty, also participated in the examination of that subject, because Tang was fortunate to be famous in Shilinbo, the first assistant hoped that Tang could communicate with his son and cooperate with him in the imperial examination, but I did not agree, and the result was ...... angered Lord Shoufu, naturally he fell into the name of Sun Shan. ”

Tang Xianzu said: "At that time, there was a person named Shen Maoxue who agreed, and as a result, he was named the champion, and Zhang Sixiu, the son of Lord Shoufu, was the first to be seen. In the eighth year of Wanli, Tang went to the test again, unfortunately, this time Zhang Shoufu's third son Zhang Maoxiu was going to participate in the imperial examination again, and Lord Shoufu asked his uncle to envelop Tang and make a foil for his son, Tang still refused. ”

Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Zhang Jiangling is famous all over the world, I don't want to do such a thing, but the little brother is unheard of." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but glance at Tang Xianzu, secretly admiring, Zhang Jiangling is in power to the government and the opposition, who dares to criticize him behind his back, once he is heard, even if Zhang Jiangling himself does not come forward, or even disagrees, there will be people who will take revenge.

Tang Xianzu saw Ye Xiaotian's eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Ye thinks that you and I have first met, and Tang Mou has slandered Shoufu to sue him, is there something to be said about it?" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, and Tang Xianzu said: "Why don't you know Brother Ye, Zhang Jiangling has passed away due to illness?" ”

Ye Xiaotian really didn't know anything about this, so he stopped and said in amazement: "Zhang Jiangling passed away?" ”

Tang Xianzu bowed his head and said: "Yes, I just passed the art not long ago. On the fourth day after Zhang Jiangling's death, Pan Sheng, who was recommended by him to join the cabinet, was impeached and forced to resign. The people who had been suppressed by Zhang Jiangling's bullets for a long time all jumped out. ”

Tang Xianzu sighed and said: "Now some people say that Zhang Jiangling was not diligent in state affairs and died of exhaustion, but because he was lazy with women and often took the medicine of tigers and wolves. It was only for the sake of decency that the imperial court suppressed the matter and did not mention it, and announced to the world for his death. There are also people who impeach Zhang Jiangling for encroaching on the Liao Wang's mansion, accepting bribes on a large scale, and impeaching that there are local officials who want to slap him. Repeatedly used public funds to build a private house for him, etc., hey! It's really a treacherous journey. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Are these things true or false?" ”

Tang Xianzu groaned for a moment and said, "Nine times out of ten, it's true. If you want to impeach a chief assistant with a grand prestige and a name all over the world, if you chase after the wind and shadows, won't you be caught by Zhang Dang? However, in Tang's view, although Zhang Jiangling has a loss of personal morality, he is not damaged in the big festival! ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Brother Tang is talking about ......"

Tang Xianzu said: "Zhang Jiangling is a generation of geniuses who are not born. Heroic talents, neat manipulation, hundreds of officials are dignified, and each takes his own position. The discipline is reasonable, the court is solemn, and its effect can be seen overnight, and it has been in power for ten years. The sea is tranquil, the country is rich and the army is strong. He is especially good at employing people and preparing for the enemy. As at the moment.

I want him to level the chaos of the barbarians, use the Lingyun Wing to level the chaos next to Luo, and expand the land for hundreds of miles; With Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang to the north, Liaozuo has won many victories, and the land is thousands of miles; Use Pan Ji to tame the water and the river is safe. The merit of being righteous is like this, although there is a suspicion of authoritarianism, compared to Yan Song's judgment, it is really a good appearance!

According to Tang, as the prime minister, this is his most important aspect, there is no need for him to restrain himself according to the requirements of a saint, and a person who can do great things will never become a saint. Whoever can become a saint can't do great things.

Therefore, its private morality is inherently flawed, but it does not affect the festival. But is it for the sake of righteousness that those who now criticize him with their own virtues? It was just an attack on his policy with its moral flaws, and Zhang Jiangling's policy was undoubtedly a good policy for the imperial court to turn the tide, and once it was damaged and corrupted, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe of Tang Xianzu, this Tang Xianzu's personal future can be said to be all buried because of Zhang Jiangling's selfish thoughts, but when the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and countless people fell into the well, he could still evaluate this person so fairly, he was really open-minded, and the sun and the moon were bright.

Ye Xiaotian praised Tang Xianzu, Tang Xianzu waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Ye praised it falsely, one is one, two is two, the so-called impartiality is just speaking according to his own conscience." Tang was a human being all his life, but if he wanted to be worthy of his conscience, he also lived calmly. ”

Tang Xianzu asked Ye Xiaotian about his origin again, and as soon as Ye Xiaotian told him about his own affairs, Tang Xianzu laughed and said, "Brother Ye, in my opinion, what you expected must be good." Although I don't know why you are in prison, the person who ordered you to be arrested must be Zhang Dang.

Now that Zhang Dang has become a rat crossing the street, the people who spared no effort to slap them in the past are all falling into the well at this time, just trying to clear up the relationship, who will deal with you at this time, so that you can be misunderstood? You can live in peace, at the moment those big people in Beijing are busy fighting for power and profit, and the local officials are waiting to see the situation, only when the dust settles, will someone think of you, unless Zhang Dang wins a big victory, you will inevitably turn the danger into a disaster. ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "I think so too, the collapse of Zhang Jiangling is certainly a sigh, but for me personally, it is a great benefit. ”

Tang Xianzu said happily: "I still want to live in Nanjing for a long time, and now I and Brother Ye are like each other, and we happen to be in contact with each other often." Now that Tang is about to go out to meet a few friends, do Brother Ye want to go with him? ”

Ye Xiaotian hesitated: "This ......, Brother Tang's friend Ye doesn't recognize it, so he took the liberty to go, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" ”

Tang Xianzu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's okay, if it is about the status of the birth and the familiarity with Cheng Dù, it will be inconvenient for Tang to interact with those people." These people are all people who like opera, and they have the same interests as Tang, and when they get together, they just watch the opera, sing songs, and entertain themselves. ”

Ye Xiaotian said happily: "In this case, then please wait for Brother Tang, Ye Mou wash up, change clothes, and let's go together." ”
