This time, the Taiwanese official's admonition failed to work, and Jinshang still insisted on removing Zhang Yaozuo as the envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui, but at the same time ordered him to go out to Heyang, so Zhang's influence on the court and the palace was also limited, although the ladies were still dissatisfied, but they did not complain as much as before.

Because in the imperial history, King Juzheng and others continued to fight and said that the punishment for Tang Jie was too heavy, so the location of Tang Jie was changed today, from Chunzhou to Yingzhou, which was relatively better. In mid-October, I heard another piece of news from Zhang Chengzhao: Zhang Mao was ordered to escort Tang Jie to Yingzhou.

I was surprised and immediately went to Mr. Zhang. He was packing his bags at the time, which confirmed the news.

"Why did the official give this order?" I asked Mr. Zhang, "There is no practice of sending envoys to escort courtiers. ”

Mr. Zhang told me: "Although Yingzhou is not as weak as Chunzhou, it is still located in Lingnan, and the official family is worried that Tang Jie will not adapt to the water and soil and die on the road, so they ordered me to escort him along the way, take care of him, and let him arrive safely." ”

At the moment, I am more concerned about Mr. Zhang. Lingnan mountains and rivers are far away, and the world is afraid of its water and soil, although it is called an escort, but Mr. Zhang will face no less danger than Tang Jie.

There were a thousand words in my heart, but in the end, it only turned into a very simple sentence: "Sir, take care." ”

He understood exactly what I was thinking, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry. I'm a minister for more than 30 years, and I'm not that noble. ”

A few days after Tang Jie and Mr. Zhang set off, today, unexpectedly, another edict was issued: the chief minister Wen Yanbo was dismissed as the secretary of the ministry, the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, and the governor of Xuzhou.

Some people say that Wen Yanbo didn't dare to be satisfied with the phase because of the lantern brocade, so he asked for his resignation, and now he agreed; Some people also say that this was a decision made when Kinjo was demoting Tang Jie, and both sides of the dispute stopped it to show fairness. No matter what, the effect is good, and the discussion of the ministers about the harem of the ministers has been quelled, and the world praises His Majesty's wisdom.

One day, I went with the princess to the Funing Palace to see Jinshang, and the queen was also there at that time, and she was looking down with him to admire a painting on the case. After saluting, the princess also went over to look with great interest, and her eyes widened when she saw it: "It's Tang Jie!" ”

I got a little closer, looked up, and saw that it was indeed the head of Tang Suke.

"Hui Rou also recognizes him?" Imagami asked.

"Oh, no." The princess hurriedly denied it, pointed to the words on the scroll, and said, "His name is written on the painting." ”

Imagami smiled and said to the queen: "The painting selected this time is good, and it is said that I have only seen Tang Jie twice, and it is quite similar to the painting." ”

The princess asked her father curiously, "Daddy asked people to paint the portrait of Tang Jie, is it going to be hung in Tianzhang Pavilion?" But I heard that his official is very small......"

In the Tianzhang Pavilion, there are portraits of famous ministers of the past dynasties, but with Tang Jie's official rank, he is obviously not qualified to be selected.

Jinshang smiled and didn't answer, called a close attendant over, looked at Tang Jie's portrait, and ordered: "Send this painting to Ninghua Hall and let the concubine hang it in the pavilion." ”

I listened to it, and although I did not show any emotion on my face, I was secretly amazed in my heart, and I almost suspected that the scene I saw in the Hanging Arch Hall that day, and the emperor angrily reprimanded Tang Jie, was a delusion.

After that, the queen smiled and expressed her opinion about Tang Jie: "Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, cherishes the official, although he asked Tang Jie about the crime of rudeness, but he still praised his loyalty and integrity, not only painted his portrait, but also sent a special envoy to escort him, and tried his best to ensure his integrity." However, there has never been such a pattern of derogation by Taiwan officials. If the news of his death comes, and the subjects recall that Tang Jie was accompanied by someone sent by His Majesty when he died, I am afraid that some people will be suspicious of it, and the court will be slandered by the world, or it will damage His Majesty's reputation. ”

Jinshang thought for a moment, and then smiled: "There are also two courtiers who told me this. Now that the queen has also thought of it, it can be seen that this concern is indeed justified. ”

He quickly issued an order and ordered someone to recover Zhang Maoze, who was halfway through. After that, Tang Jie also arrived safely, and he served for only a little more than a month, and now he moved him to the deputy envoy of the Jinzhou regiment and the supervisor of the Chenzhou liquor tax, so that he completely left Lingnan.

The atmosphere in the palace of the Shangyuan Festival in the fourth year of the Emperor's reign was slightly different from previous years.

Imami recalled Deng Baoji, the minister who had been deposed from Beijing during the palace rebellion in the eighth year of Qingli, and although he was not immediately restored to the position of deputy governor of the city, he was kind enough to comfort him and promised to be promoted in the future.

Deng Baoji was originally an old minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty, kind and gentle, and quite popular in the palace, and Zhang Weiji, Zhang Maoze, Pei Xiang and others are all friends, and his other old friend, Sun Kejiu, a minister who has been Zhishi, also came from outside the palace to meet him after hearing the news.

At the Shangyuan Festival luncheon, a few old ministers were specially given to sit today, and tea and soup were given after the banquet, leaving them to chat. Because Deng Baoji had previously served as the commander of Yingzhou's soldiers and horses, and Ouyang Xiu moved to Yingzhou two years ago, the two had many contacts, so he frequently asked him about Ouyang Xiu. Deng Baoji answered one by one, and asked people to take pen and ink and write down some of Ouyang Xiu's recent poems that he remembered for today.

After reading it today, I was full of appreciation, and called the princess again, asking her to pay attention to it.

In the future, the topic will focus on poetry. In addition to Pei Xiang, Sun Kejiu is also a good chant and an elegant minister with a poetic name. Unlike the most common eunuchs in the palace, he was endowed with a tranquil temperament and had no interest in drilling camps and promotions. Now out of the palace outside the residence, there is a residence under the city, there is a small garden in the north of the hall, and there is a villa in the south of the city. Every time there is a beautiful scenery, you will use a car to drink, and you can travel comfortably.

After reading Ouyang Xiu's poems, Jin Shangxiao said to Sun Kejiu: "I heard that Sun Weng often sings and makes peace with celebrities after leaving the palace, can you also give a new view?" ”

Sun Kejiu hurriedly said "I don't dare", and said: "Today, when the minister entered the palace, he first walked around the forbidden area and looked at the spring post in front of the pavilion. After reading it, I was really embarrassed, and the bachelors' poems were really word by word, and good sentences were frequent, especially better than in previous years. The minister recited a few crooked poems, and they were all scared back at this moment. ”

Pei Xiang smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Sun is too modest. However, this year's spring post is really good-looking, all because of the official family's kindness, and several Wenchen who were released a few years ago were recalled, so the good sentences of the spring post have also increased a lot. ”

Sun Kejiu took the opportunity to sigh at the emperor's grace, smiled lightly today, and said, "There is no need to say flattery." Sun Weng is rare to enter the palace, so he will write a post for me today. ”

Sun Ke thought for a long time, then looked at Pei Xiang's adopted son Pei Heng who was standing behind him, and then responded: "The official family has an order, and the minister does not dare to disobey it." Seeing today's scene, there is also a couplet, but the tail couplet has not yet been thought of. I heard that Ah Heng was carefully taught by Chu Lao, and his poems were also very good, so I might as well ask him to continue these two sentences for me. ”

Chu Lao is Pei Xiang's character. Pei Xiang shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said: "How can Ah Heng compose poetry, what he usually talks about is just a few sentences." ”

Jinshang was very interested in Sun Kejiu's suggestion, and ordered Pei Heng to connect with Sun Kejiu. Pei Heng was only a fifteen-year-old boy, with a frank temperament, and he did not shirk, so he generously agreed, and said to Sun Kejiu: "Please make the first couplet first." ”

Sun Kejiu smiled and picked up the pen and wrote two sentences on the paper: "Zhenlu Yu flies around Zichen, blows sheng and drums and seyu mash." ”

"Zhenlu Yu Fei" borrowed the canon of "Song of Songs, Zhou Song", which means that the gentleman comes to the court and welcomes him with courtesy, which is used here to appreciate the emperor's kindness to the virtuous ministers.

Today, I saw the praise of the chin. Sun Kejiu immediately handed the pen to Pei Heng, Pei Heng groaned slightly, and then waved it.

The princess stood by the side, looking at one wall, and then reading out the tail couplet: "No one enters the lantern brocade, and the red and pink palace remembers the minister." ”
