Jiajing's face became solemn.

Then he tapped the beat with his knuckles, and said slowly: "Master Gui Xiang, this person is Gui Cao's brother, right?" When he saw Xu Qian, what did he say? ”

Huang Jin's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "It is said that there is a vacancy for a scribe in Hanlin, and I want to recommend him to go." ”

Jiajing's eyes were vigilant, and he said with a calm face: "What did Xu Qian say? ”

Huang Jindao: "Xu Qian declined, and later Gui Xiang gave a few books, what kind of book is it, and the slave maid will continue to check it." ”

Jiajing's face softened, and he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to check it anymore, it's just a good sale." ”

Huang Jin continued: "As for Xie Pi, he didn't say anything important, the two of them just talked about it. ”

Jiajing smiled slightly and said: "After all, it is a senior brother, Xu Qian's mentor is Xie Qing's family, and Xie Pi is the sister-in-law of Xie Qing's family. But what does Lu Song mean when he goes to find Xu Qian? ”

Huang Jin looked at Jiajing's face cautiously, and said: "Lu Yanshi went to Xu's house, saying that there was a vacancy in the Nanzhen Mansion Department, and asked Xu Qian to take the post of secretary in charge." ”

Jiajing unconsciously narrowed his eyes into a slit and said, "Then what?" ”

Huang Jindao: "Then Xu Qian bluntly refused, Lu Yan had a lot of anger and brushed his sleeves. ”

Jiajing first sneered, circled around the warm pavilion for a few times, and only stopped for a long time, his face softened, and said faintly: "Lu Song, according to me, is not as smart as his son Lu Bing, I see that he is getting older and more confused, he thinks that if he recruits Xu Qian, he will be foolproof." From then on, I was surrounded by his people, hmph, he looked down on me too much! ”

Immediately, his tone calmed down, and he said: "But I don't think he has any scheming, he just wants to take advantage of a small profit, he doesn't have the courage." ”

Huang Jin was terrified. Who is Lu Song? This is Jiajing's grandmother's husband, and he had a great relationship with Jiajing when he was in Anlu. Lu Song's son Lu Bing used to be Jiajing's companion, and in such a relationship, His Majesty was just an old fool. almost lost the holy family, it can be seen that Jiajing's suspicion is really terrible, he can't help but be frightened, and secretly ponder Jiajing's sentence 'I thought I had recruited Xu Qian, and I was surrounded by his people'.

What exactly does this mean? Is it His Majesty's unintentional remark, blurted out, or premeditated. deliberately said it to himself, could it be that he found himself too close to Lu Song? So a little tapping?

Huang Jin suddenly became vigilant, he knew that Jiajing was not willing to say everything directly, and many words were just blurted out inadvertently. But these casual words represent Jiajing's thoughts, and a little carelessness may lead to dissatisfaction. Huang Jin suddenly realized at this time that Xu Qian was indifferent to the good things of the Nanzhen Mansion Division and Hanlin. The problem is that what the emperor hates most now is the gangs and factions between his subordinates, and the most disgusting thing is the collusion between the people below, but on the contrary, there are few people at the bottom who are not moved by interests like Xu Qian, but most of them are huddled together for warmth, thinking that they can only last for a long time by making good connections.

These people ...... I still can't see through it......

Huang Jin shook his head in his heart, today's incident actually taught him a vivid lesson, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, Lu Song has been a little presumptuous recently, it is said that Lu Song had some conflicts with a fellow acquaintance in the guard, just for this matter, he actually instructed people to arrest a lot of cronies who should be the same acquaintance, and defiled them for violating the family law of Weili, and it was enough to kill three people before he stopped." ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Jiajing's eyes, and then he scolded coldly: "Huang Banban, you are too bold, this matter has already been secretly reported to me, I want to knock this fellow knower, you are talking nonsense, do you think I will trust you?" ”

Huang Jin hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are dead." ”

"That's it, don't do it again." Jiajing's stick was raised high, but it fell gently.

This made Huang Jin's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, of course he knew Jiajing's thoughts, and he arranged a few words of Lu Song by himself, on the surface, it seemed that His Majesty was angry, but in fact, this was just a show, if he was really angry, where would he be light?

A small temptation confirmed Huang Jin's guess, which made Huang Jin very frightened, and couldn't help thinking, our family has been mixed up for so many years, and we still don't have this knowledge, Xu Qian is young, has he already known His Majesty's thoughts, or is he just unintentionally inserting willows?

At this time, Jiajing's mood became cheerful, and he said slowly: "You should learn more from Xu Qian, he only thinks about doing things for me, his ability is outstanding, his mind is also top-notch, and his article knowledge is also excellent, although he is not perfect, he also has careful thoughts, but he knows how to advance and retreat, if Lu Song learns from him three percent, will he still use his daily baba to look at the brocade guards to command the envoys?" Am I willing to let him stay in the position of the Brocade Guard? Lu Song, after all, is a person of mine, but sometimes he is too arrogant. ”

sighed, which made Huang Jin smile bitterly in his heart, no wonder Lu Song was unlucky, he had been by His Majesty's side for so long, and he still had no eyes, no wonder he had such a close relationship with His Majesty, but it was still just a matter of fact.

Huang Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the slave will definitely ask Xu Qian for advice." ”

Jiajing smiled and said, "What are you talking about, you are you, why do you need to learn from others." I'm wondering now, is it time to see Xu Qian, let him be in the Jingshi, it's not good to have nothing to do all the time, it's better to go and see him. ”

Huang Jindao: "If Your Majesty wants to see him, a verbal message, doesn't he want to enter the palace obediently?" ”

Jiajing shook his head, pursed his lips and said: "It's not that simple, I have broken the connection with him, and I have already attracted the attention of hundreds of officials, if he is allowed to enter the palace at this time, it will inevitably make people secretly speculate about something, this may not be a good thing for him, he has to find a reason to meet at an inadvertent time." ”

Huang Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, Jiajing's mind was too deep, it was just a meeting, and he would be suspicious of what was speculated, but then again, Xu Qian has always been a figure on the cusp of Hangzhou and has already attracted the attention of all parties. Many of the big names in this Jingshi are afraid that they are all watching. At this juncture, it is indeed not appropriate to summon.

Unless......

Huang Jin couldn't help but say: "The queen mother of the two palaces has been worrying about the marriage of Her Royal Highness the princess, and the two palaces are interested in Hangzhou Xie Zhao, the slave maid heard that Xie Zhao also returned to Beijing from Hangzhou, and the two palaces have already intended to invite him to the palace to see him on a certain day, he is the son of the prince, and his mother is the daughter of the clan, so the queen mother of the two palaces means to invite him into the palace to chatter about family life." The slave maid was thinking, can you compromise a little, please ask Your Majesty Xià to persuade the Queen Mother of the two palaces, just say that it is just to summon a Xie Zhao, it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings, I am afraid that the future concubine will be uncomfortable for this, it is better to take advantage of this reason, just say that I want to summon Hangzhou Shizi in Beijing, not only to invite Xie Zhao, but also to call Xu Qian in by the way, in addition, and let some Hangzhou scholars to accompany him, so that Xie Zhao has a companion, and his heart is naturally not so nervous, and Xu Qian can also take advantage of this to enter the palace, His Majesty Xià can take advantage of this opportunity, Call him at his leisure. ”

Huang Jin came up with this bad idea, which was a bit painstaking.

Jiajing pondered for a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You slave, you don't have any other skills, this ability is very powerful, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with doing this, but the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces may not want to see so many people, but I can try it." Huang Jin thought in his heart: "This thing must be done, the queen mother of the two palaces wants to be the mother of the world, I wish people could see their phoenix faces, more dignified than one another, as long as His Majesty proposes it, the queen mother will definitely try her best to promote, and when the Empress Dowager Zhang sees this, is she willing to make a retreat?" ”

Jiajing looked a little tired, but his spirit was fine, and said: "In this case, you can go to Zhang Luo and play it in the original way, you can't let me mention it, you must let the twelve eunuchs bring it up, and I will go to the side to knock on the side." ”

The matter was discussed, Huang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, while Jiajing seemed to be full of interest, obviously a little more interested in the matter of the two palaces summoning Xie Zhao this time.

He couldn't help but ask again: "I heard that Hongxiu has already met Xie Zhao, how is it, what is Hongxiu's opinion of him?" ”

Hongxiu is the only daughter of Emperor Xiao, and the only princess to be married in the palace, although she has no flesh and blood relationship with Jiajing, but Jiajing is in the palace, the only brother and sister is only Hongxiu, this mean and unkind emperor is very good to Hongxiu, and he has not worked hard for Hongxiu to marry.

Moreover, although the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager Zhang are fighting openly and secretly, they are also very good to Hongxiu, so the matter of choosing a son-in-law has caused a long time in the palace without peace, and there have been several candidates, and finally they were all vetoed.

Huang Jin was stunned for a moment at this time, and said in his heart, our family can't guess the thoughts of this daughter's family, but when His Majesty asked, he had to bite the bullet and say: "It's not bad to think about it, the slave maid once heard Her Royal Highness the princess say a few words, saying that Hangzhou is very interesting, and it is not Hangzhou that wants to be interesting, but the people of Hangzhou." ”

Jiajing couldn't help laughing and said, "You can speculate on your own, but...... It's a little interesting, I hope this matter can be successful, otherwise one veto one today and another one tomorrow will inevitably be laughed at by outsiders. ”
