Chapter 72: Just stay in prison and don't leave
Zhu Chen forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart, and sat with Xie Jin again.
It's not dark yet, it's noon, and Zhu Chen still needs to watch the homeless people here.
Xie Jin looked at Zhu Chen: "You said just now that you quarreled with the old man?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Chen suddenly looked sad and nodded helplessly: "Yes, yesterday because of me, I quarreled with the old man." ”
Xie Jin sighed in his heart.
The person who can quarrel with today's Yongle and make Yongle angry, you Zhu Chen is the first one in the world.
What kind of grace is this, so that the emperor can spoil you so much?
This is the emperor's grace, the grace of heaven.
It's just that in this era, it is not advisable to talk back to your elders, Xie Jin taught: "You have to remember that the old man is your elder, the prince of heaven and earth, loyalty and filial piety come first, everything comes last, don't talk back to your elders." ”
"If you quarrel with your elders, isn't that disloyalty and unfilial piety?"
Xie Jin explained the principles of Confucianism to Zhu Chen, and Zhu Chen was also silent and listened carefully.
"The old man loves you, you must be filial to him, treat him as your dearest, he won't hurt you, he will think about you wholeheartedly, understand?" Xie Jin patiently explained.
Although a few years ago, it was Zhu Di who single-handedly put Xie Jin in prison, but Xie Jin is still working hard here to maintain the relationship between the two of them.
Zhu Chen bowed his head, and the old man's voice and appearance appeared in front of his eyes again, and he felt very guilty in his heart.
"I see." Zhu Chen said.
Xie Jin smiled: "Child, it's good if you understand, the old man will teach you in the future, and I will teach you, you can learn from us and become better and better." ”
Child, your grandfather is the Emperor of Yongle.
He is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, sitting high on the ninety-five position, overlooking the common people and the world.
He is one of the most effective kings, and you should please him and please him, only then will you be able to ascend to that position.
Only by ascending to that position can you display your inner ambition and create a prosperous era beyond the prosperity of Yongle.
Looking at Zhu Chen, Xie Jin's eyes were cloudy but firm.
Don't worry, since I have become your teacher, it is the fate of my life, I will teach you well, teach you how to ascend to that supreme position!
Zhu Chen sighed and said, "Teacher, you said that the old man was angry with me, will he still come to me?" ”
"Where does he live, can you tell me? I want to come and apologize. ”
Xie Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, he will come to you." ”
"Hopefully." Zhu Chen's expression flashed with a little loss.
……
Xie Jin and Zhu Chen stayed here for a day.
Xie Jin's literary brilliance amazed Zhu Chen for a long time, and he deserved to be one of the three great talents in the early Ming Dynasty.
When it was almost dark, Xie Jin planned to leave, and Zhu Chen gave him away.
Xie Jin walked all the way, walked, and came to South Street and came to the gate of Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison.
He wanted to enter, but was stopped by two brocade guards.
"Master Xie, you have already been released, why do you want to come in? We have all commanded the envoys to buy you a house in Yingtian and let you move there. ”
"Yes, Master Xie."
Xie Jin frowned and said: "The house outside is uncomfortable, I am used to living in the Imperial Prison, and the Imperial Prison is my home, let me go in." ”
"After living at home for more than two years, is there a reason not to let me go back?"
"Not only do I have to live today, but you will have to open the door for me every day from now on."
The two brocade guards looked at each other, helpless, they only felt that Xie Jin was crazy, but they couldn't resist him, so they could only go with him.
Xie Jin returned to the cell, lay in the straw pile, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and muttered: "How can I Xie Jin, how can I avoid death in my lifetime, and meet the Lord again......"
"Da Ming, Da Ming, you wait, you will soon meet a king who can sweep away all your old diseases, and the name of that king is Zhu Zhanji."
"This cell is like the world, it's too messy, when will the cell be clean, when will I go out again."
……
Early the next morning.
The two brocade guards guarding the door reluctantly opened the gate of the edict for Lao Lai Jiejin.
"Can't you go out and live?"
"Open the door like this every day, you can enter if you want, and you can get out if you want, and others still think that the edict is a playhouse."
Xie Jin shook his head: "No." ”
With that, he turned around and left.
Today, he is still dressed in a clean red robe, and this red robe is stained with the blood of the people.
Walking on the street, Xie Jin walked under a mansion with two big characters written on the plaque: Huangfu.
"Huang Huai, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Muttering, Xie Jin came to visit and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and the servant asked, "Who are you?" ”
Xie Jin spoke: "I am Xie Jin." ”
Xie Jin's name, this person has heard of it, he used to be very good friends with his master, he was an official in the same dynasty, and he was a member of the cabinet.
Wasn't Ke Xie Jin arrested?
"Then you wait, I'll report it." After that, the man ran to report it.
About half an hour later, the door of the Yellow Mansion was fully opened, and a hurried figure came.
He lifted the hem of his trousers, walked briskly, and looked out of the door, when he saw the familiar figure outside the door, Huang Huai's eyes almost burst into tears: "Xie Jin, Master Xie, are you back?" ”
Huang Huai, a native of Zhejiang, worked with Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and others in Wenyuan Pavilion, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and assisted the five emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
He has a very good relationship with Xie Jin, and the historical records record that every time Chengzu goes to the court, he often aids Huang Huai and Xie Jin to set up the imperial couch to prepare for consultants.
And he is also biased towards the princelings, in the twelfth year of Yongle, Huang Huai was framed by the Han King Zhu Gaochu and imprisoned in Beijing for ten years, and Zhu Gaochi was released after he ascended the throne.
Xie Jin laughed: "Brother, haven't you forgotten me?" ”
The two hugged each other tightly, and Huang Huai patted Xie Jin's back desperately, feeling a little unreal.
Patting and patting, he couldn't hold back his tears: "Brother Jie, I thought you might die in that prison." ”
"Over the years, without you by the emperor's side, I am walking on thin ice, for fear that I will be cut by the emperor one day."
Xie Jin was full of emotion, and when he saw Huang Huai's true feelings, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, our emperor is a man-eating tiger." ”
"I came today to have something."
Huang Huai hurriedly invited Xie Jin to the inner hall, served tea and poured water, and asked a lot of questions before talking about business.
Xie Jin took out the article written by Zhu Chen yesterday from his arms, handed it to Huang Huai, and said, "I came today to show you the new learning I created in prison. ”
New learning?
Huang Huai laughed: "You Xie Jin really didn't forget to do your studies in prison, okay, I'll take a look and give you a comment." ”
After that, Huang Huai opened the article and read it carefully.
It's just that he was only halfway through the reading, and Huang Huai's face became more and more ugly......
