Xu Jie stayed in Sixian's residence for one night.

What Zhu Hao was doing that night, Xu Jie didn't know, Xu Jie was supposed to go back to Hanlin Academy the next morning...... He is different from Zhu Hao, he will not be lazy when he has a job, he was promoted to Hanlin Revision not long after he entered the dynasty, and he is being stared at, he has to work hard if he doesn't want to.

But Zhu Hao still forced him to meet Yang Shen, who was about to be sent out of the capital.

At this time, it is already a cold winter month, and the weather is unusually cold.

Yang Shen went out of Beijing, don't say that he dragged his family with his mouth, even the carriage was just an empty cage, and the emperor specially asked to give him a "flail", and Yang Shen had just been punished with thirty canes before, although he was a little better than others, and only received one round of beatings, but with his arrogance in heart, and then with his thin body, these thirty strokes made him hurt a lot.

Physically and psychologically, Yang Shen seems to be hurting his muscles and bones.

"Jingdao, Zisheng, are you here?"

Yang Shen was not surprised to see Zhu Hao, but he was still a little surprised to see Xu Jie.

However, as far as he knew, Zhu Hao had always admired Xu Jie, although he didn't know why, but since Zhu Hao had begun to soar now, it wouldn't seem so abrupt to promote Xu Jie's hand by the way.

Zhu Hao said: "You are leaving, and there is no gift for you, so I greeted the yacha and gave them fifty taels of silver, so that they could take care of your daily life along the way, especially ...... Dressing. ”

Yang Shen couldn't sit when he spoke, but he didn't want to lie on his stomach either, he just grabbed the side of the cage with his hand and barely stood there, looking a little miserable.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Yang Shen said: "The pain in the body is nothing, I just want to know what happened in the capital on the way south, or when I get to the destination, can you find a way to ask someone to bring me the news?" I mean...... If something big happens in the capital. ”

Zhu Hao was quite surprised by this request.

You can't protect yourself, and you still want to know about the major events of your family and country?

The question is, even if you know what's going on in the imperial court, can you still be able to get involved? For you Yang Yongxiu, basically your career has been ruined.

"I'll try my best"

Zhu Hao still agreed.

Even Xu Jie couldn't help but glance at Zhu Hao.

Do you agree to such things?

Even if you really want to send him a message, how can this message be delivered? When he arrives at the garrison, he has nothing to write to him? Aren't you afraid that the court will suspect that you have a secret relationship with Yang Yongxiu, and even criticize you, saying that you have the intention of rebellion?

Yang Shen nodded, as if satisfied, and sighed: "But I don't know how they are now, whether they are the same as me......"

Zhu Hao saw it.

The reason why Yang Shen hasn't turned his face with him now is not that the other party will completely forgive him for being two-faced, but that Yang Shen has no news channel now, plus he is now unlucky, and someone needs to do something for him in the court.

It can also be seen that Yang Shen's character has not changed, and he is still so eager for quick success.

Zhu Hao said: "If nothing else, they won't be held accountable too much, but this official ...... Most of them will not succeed, and nine times out of ten they will be sent back to their hometowns. ”

Yang Shen shook his head and said, "Mao Gong and they could have done more for Daming, but they cut off their careers at such a time, all because of my involvement...... Alas! I hurt them. ”

didn't say anything to Zhu Hao, let him go to the court to plead for mercy or something.

Probably Yang Shen also knew that even if Zhu Hao really had the ability to help intercede now, he would not go, in the heart of a person with a strong utilitarian heart, most of the others were the same, just like everyone in Su Xigui's eyes was a businessman.

This time, without waiting for Zhu Hao to say anything, Xu Jiedao, who was on the side, said: "Bachelor Yang is wrong, there is no question of who harms who this time, since your colleagues have made a choice, you must be responsible for your choice, even if they speak up for their family and country." ”

Yang Shen smiled and asked, "Then what choice do you make?" ”

Yang Shen has never looked down on Xu Jie, so naturally he will not listen to Xu Jie's persuasion, so he choked directly when he was unhappy, so that Xu Jie's ability to come down from the stage.

Fortunately, Xu Jie didn't plan to be as knowledgeable as Yang Shen.

If this were someone else, maybe he would be able to scold Yang Shen on the spot...... How mixed up you are? Do you still have the face to teach others?

In the past, you were the son of Shoufu, the Hanlin of the Ming Dynasty, and even a bachelor, and your status was there, we didn't dare to do anything with you, but now you are a fart?

"Brother Xiu, but what else is there to worry about in Jingshi?" Zhu Hao asked.

Zhu Hao knew that this time Yang Shen was assigned to the Yunnan garrison, and he couldn't even bring his wife and children with him, and his step-family talented daughter Huang E could only go back to his hometown of Shu to live in Xindu, and later Yang Shen remarried a concubine in Yunnan, but the couple met in Jiajing for five years and lived together for a while.

Yang Shen shook his head.

Asking someone to take care of his wife, Yang Shen naturally wouldn't look for Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao and him are friends at most, and this kind of friend is all because of interests, and the two sides have almost no personal relationship, Yang Shen is of course afraid that with Zhu Hao's talent, what if his wife is abducted?

】

Zhu Hao said: "If there is nothing else, let's set off early." Mountains and rivers meet, and there will be a period later. ”

Originally, Zhu Hao thought that Yang Shen was going to tell him something important, but now it seems that Yang Shen just wants him to help pass on some news about the capital from time to time.

Or is this Yang Shen's means of "revenge" against him?

If the two exchanged letters frequently, the emperor would definitely be suspicious of Zhu Hao, and if Yang Shen deliberately said something "disrespectful" in the letter, it would be even more unfavorable to Zhu Hao.

Although Zhu Hao felt that it was a bit dark to think so, Yang Shen was originally the kind of person who could not afford to be unprofitable, and Zhu Hao had to be wary.

……

……

Yang Shen's prisoner car headed for the train station.

This was specially arranged by Zhu Si.

Let Yang Shen take the train to Xishan first, and then go south by carriage from Xishan.

Zhu Si just wanted to show the power of the train in front of an old-fashioned civil servant like Yang Shen, which could be regarded as a means of showing off his might.

Xu Jie looked at the direction in which the carriage was leaving, and asked depressedly, "Can he come back if he goes?" ”

"I guess not."

Zhu Hao shook his head.

"Alas!"

Xu Jie sighed and asked again: "With his talent, even if he is not an official, he can still leave a name in history, right?" ”

Zhu Hao looked back at Xu Jie.

In a sense, Yang Shen is a great talent, while Xu Jie is a typical politician.

The two have different ways of leaving their names in history.

It is precisely because Xu Jie has the potential to develop in the direction of top politicians, so it is still very accurate to look at people, even if Yang Shen's fame has not yet reached the point of being unique in an era, and it is not even to the extent that he can be called "the first genius of the big name", but Xu Jie still keenly feels that Yang Shen will be respected by history because of his talent in the future.

"Let's go back."

Zhu Hao said, "I'll return to the Ministry of Rites, what about you?" ”

Xu Jie sighed: "I'd better hurry back to Hanyuan, I've been out for so long, I'm afraid that after I go back, I won't be able to tell the people around me." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Xu Jie was silent and did not answer.

Now the talents in the Hanlin Academy are withering, and there are few people to work, which will make the Hanlin Academy have a feeling of a daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, after all, there are too many vacant positions, and the chances of promotion for the rest of the people will be greatly increased.

Xu Jie's current consideration is not for promotion, but for fear of other people's gossip.

Zhu Hao estimated that Xu Jie was afraid of being known, so he ran out to send Yang Shen out of Beijing.

Yang Shen left the capital with a guilty body, except for Zhu Hao and Xu Jie, no one else was present, which actually explained the problem.

"Go back and enter the palace with me." Zhu Hao said.

Xu Jie suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't you have an early dynasty today?" ”

The right attendant of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites was involved in the key matters of the ceremony, and he should have gone to the court meeting on time, but Zhu Hao took him out to send Yang Shen like a nobody?

Is Zhu Hao deliberately going against the emperor?

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "When you come out to send it for repair, it is like saying goodbye to an old friend." ”

Having said that, Xu Jie always felt that Zhu Hao did not answer his question positively.

You send an old friend, and you don't even participate in the court meeting, is this to abolish the public because of private affairs?

Zhu Hao said: "After the beginning of spring in the coming year, Jing Yanri will talk about the shortage of manpower, or that sentence, I want to bring you up, although my current strength is not enough, but you are finally the one I admire the most among your scholars." ”

"Huh."

Xu Jie smiled bitterly.

He didn't think he was outstanding, but Zhu Hao seemed to value him very much.

In the past, he also ignored Zhu Hao, because he couldn't see what political convenience could be brought by being close to Zhu Hao, and in the past, he also felt that meeting Zhu Hao had given Zhu Hao enough face, after all, Zhu Hao was a person who was not liked by both the new emperor and the civil officials.

Can ...... now

Xu Jie knew, it turned out that Zhu Hao was deeply hidden, this is the real elder.

The two of them walked together in the direction of the city gate.

Xu Jie still didn't want to take the initiative to talk to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao asked, "What do you think of the train?" ”

Xu Jie said: "It's good." ”

It's still a plausible answer.

Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "Then if you are asked to supervise the construction of the train, what is your opinion?" ”

"That'...... I don't know how to do this, and I may want to disappoint you. Of course, Xu Jie won't pick up some errands that he is not good at.

Zhu Hao said: "A capable person should not stay in the Hanlin Academy all the time, you should consider having a good experience outside." ”

“……”

Xu Jie was a little speechless.

When you Zhu Jingdao was arranged out of the Hanlin Academy, everyone felt sorry for you, and you yourself seemed to be disappointed, but now it's your turn, so you want to get people out of the Hanlin Academy regardless of other people's considerations?

Zhu Hao smiled: "Don't worry, no matter what errand is arranged for you, I will keep the job in the Hanlin Academy for you." Part-time errands, so that it will not live up to the reputation and status of Hanlin, it will not delay you to serve the imperial court, and it will allow you to have some experience, why not make this choice? ”
