After that, Xu Jie kept a lot of low profile and never participated in similar gatherings again, in his opinion, these people were no different from looking for death.

The follow-up was as he expected, all those stupid forks were caught, quietly, if he hadn't paid attention to these, he wouldn't have found out.

During that time, he was very scared, for fear of being implicated, nesting in the inn to read, whoever called him, he didn't go out, almost after the wind passed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and came out at night to disperse the air and breathe.

The main evil has been arrested, but those who often participate in book meetings and talk nonsense, Xu Jie has basically announced their death sentences, although they have not been arrested, but the people on the list this time may not have a chance with them.

These guys don't know how to think about where they are, and they don't think about how those officials don't have them, a bunch of stupid people are incompetent and barking, he is also drunk, fortunately he is not implicated, otherwise he doesn't know how to cry.

If you want to have a backbone, and you want to ask for an official and a half-position from others, how can it be, the court is not a good hall, and the disobedient have been cleared out, what's the matter, find another batch of disobedient? Isn't this sick, anyway, Xu Jie doesn't think that His Majesty is a fool, so the end of these people can be imagined.

"Haha, drinking is definitely going to drink, but Zisheng really has no idea, such a beautiful girl, Zisheng chanted a poem that no one favors, when the time comes, you will be able to hold a wedding banquet immediately after high school, and your life will be completed for the most part, isn't it happy?" Zhu Houxi raised his eyebrows, I don't know why, I always feel that this is very funny, for example, he also wants to make two concubines for Yang Tinghe.

"Why is the eldest husband without a wife, let's go for a walk, there are too many people here, let's find a place with fewer people to drink and chat." Xu Jie didn't include a lake, so he pulled Zhu Houxi and walked out, there were too many people here, and it was not a good place to chat.

And he always remembers the truth that the wall has ears, in fact, he also wants to communicate with his peers, especially the current situation, he has not thought it through for the time being, and some words have been held in his heart for a long time, and he especially wants to find someone to talk to.

Now I finally met a person who could talk, and he had to talk all night tonight, he was almost suffocated, young man, who doesn't have a passionate heart, but this situation does not allow him to say more.

Zhu Houxi didn't refuse, this is really not a place to talk, it's good to find a secluded place to chat, even if the impression is good, then you have to understand it specifically before you can say what direction to train him.

Shoufu is basically out of play, now Yan Song is doing a good job, there is a Zhang Juzheng in the back, he is basically not needed in the middle, of course, the cultivation is certain, in case Yan Song has any accidents, someone will talk about it anyway.

The two found a relatively secluded stall, those restaurants are now full of or something, there is no need to go to join in the fun, find a stall to drink and chat, Xu Jie purely wants to get to know the little brother in front of him, and then find someone to talk to, Zhu Houxi also wants to talk to him, and the two hit it off.

"Lin Yu, there is nothing to entertain you for my brother, it's a little shabby, I hope my brother won't forgive me." Although the small table is full, eating here always feels like losing the dignity of a scholar.

Although Lin Yu in front of him seems to be dressed ordinarily, but people can't look good, his intuition tells him that the person in front of him is not simple, of course, what identity Xu Jie doesn't particularly care, he wants to know the person in front of him, it is rare to have a confidant in life, and it is not easy to meet, if you don't drink two cups, wouldn't it be a big loss.

"It's shabby, it's already a lot, Zisheng, do you think I look like a child of a rich family?" Zhu Houyu shook his robe, it was already washed and washed, Zhu Houyu finally found such a body, these things in the palace are really not easy to find.

But who is Zhu Houxi, there is nothing he can't find.

"Haha, I don't think Lin Yu is like an ordinary person." Xu Jie also smiled, joking, children from poor families do not have such a temperament, this is an inexplicable self-confidence, and it has even reached the point of conceit.

Of course, it may be that the person in front of him is a genius and has not experienced any setbacks since he was a child, but Xu Jie still believes in his own judgment, this is not a talent that can be compared, he sees himself more like a kind of school examination.

"I can't see it, forget it, don't talk about it, since you're here, let's have two drinks." Zhu Houxi is not embarrassed, in fact, the smarter Xu Jie, the better, and he can only talk to smart people, if he is a fool, he doesn't want to waste time.

"Yes, yes, drink." Since the other party didn't want to say it, Xu Jie, wouldn't be bored.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, basically Zhu Houxi is talking, talking about the changes in the current situation, talking about the changes in the country, and also complaining about the confusion of the current political situation, anyway, basically say everything, good and bad.

He knows too well the character of Xu Jie's people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, if you don't give him his heart and lungs, this guy will definitely pretend to be stupid and stunned to the end.

The two of them have almost drunk, and besides, they can't say it alone, Xu Jie is the protagonist today, how boring he is alone.

"Why doesn't Zisheng speak, don't just say it to me, Zisheng also talk about it, how does the court feel now, where should we go, Zisheng don't tell me that I haven't taken the exam yet, I don't want to say it, I don't believe Zisheng can't pass the exam."

Zhu Houxi looked drunk, slapped the table, and had the attitude of not pretending to me, but talking to me well.

Xu Jie was also a little drunk, waved his hand and said: "Brother Lin said this, I don't know how to know if I can pass the exam, but now the current situation in the court, to be honest, I can't see it clearly for my brother, but now my mother is undoubtedly that His Majesty has definitely taken the initiative, and the era of strong ministers and weak lords has passed. Naturally, it is the team of the elders who stand in the Yan Pavilion and the team that stands in His Majesty. ”

"However, it's not easy to say, Yan Ge's old family is dominant, and standing on his side is not necessarily a good thing, this still needs to be considered, but the imperial court does not have the power to fight against it now, in fact, we don't have any choice, and it is not so easy to be alone."

Xu Jie shook his head helplessly, there was no chance to choose at all, this was also what he was worried about, the power of heaven was unpredictable, who knew when His Majesty would not like Yan Ge Lao, and the miscellaneous fish of their standing in line would inevitably be cleaned up at that time.

It's just that if he doesn't stand in line, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to have a foothold in officialdom.

"Or is Zisheng far-reaching, what does Zisheng think of His Majesty today?" What Xu Jie said was very practical, but this was purely his unfounded worry, Yan Song's cultivation of power was tacitly approved by him, who said that no one fought against him, it was just another part of Zhu Houxi's plan to let the military department bear it.

That's right, Zhu Houxi wants to improve the army's right to speak, what an important thing it is to fight, the previous army was under the management of the Ministry of War, which is not a problem, but the Ministry of War is only one of the six departments, and there is a cabinet of Zhongshu Province on it, and the status is too low.

To raise the voice of the military department, it is necessary to at least raise it to the same status as the cabinet, and then hand over some matters with the army to the military department for unified management.

But at present, this is just an idea of Zhu Houxi, but Zhu Houyu has a lot of ideas, this thing has to be implemented by someone, and the supreme commander of the military department must be himself, but he doesn't care about it, these miscellaneous things don't need to think about Qi Jingtong together, and they need a calm character to operate.

The first thing that came to Zhu Houxi's mind was naturally Wang Yangming, the key is where this guy went, now he is more and more sure that this guy has gone abroad, if it is impossible not to contact him in Daming, after all, it is the time to employ people, but unfortunately there is no one to find now, and the plan can only be shelved for the time being.

"Shhh Your Majesty naturally has his considerations, what we have to do is to help Your Majesty realize his ideas, compared to Yan Ge Lao, who also thinks so. ”

Xu Jie suddenly became serious, although he didn't know the true identity of this Lin Yu, and he hadn't known him for a long time, he still couldn't help but say a few words, saying that anyone can do it, but he can't say that Your Majesty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, just find a river to jump by yourself, there is no need to die.

Zhu Houxi was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Jie's ideological consciousness to be so engaged, indeed, you eat my bowl of rice, you are still talking bad about your master, enjoying the welfare of society but complaining about social injustice, what a ridiculous existence.

"Taught." Zhu Houyu smiled, it's good to have such an awareness, so as not to get into trouble, after all, no matter who hears this, they won't like it, Zhu Houyu basically let Dongchang see one by one, you can discuss national affairs, but you can't disobey the monarch, this is intolerable to any monarch.

In fact, Zhu Houxi is already very tolerant, giving the people relative freedom of speech, basically as long as they don't talk about him, he won't arrest people, so if you scold him, or spread rumors, then don't you catch and keep it for the New Year.

"Lin Yu, don't take it to heart, this is a very practical problem, ability is one thing, but loyalty is a direction worth considering, in all fairness, if it is Brother Lin himself, there are two people in front of you now, one person is a little less capable, but he is loyal and unswerving, the other person is very smart, what can be learned as soon as he learns, and everything is thorough, but this person has a shortcoming, that is, he is too smart, he thinks more, his mouth is a little broken, and his loyalty is slightly worse, If it were you, who would you choose, and who would you rather cultivate? ”

Xu Jie looked at Lin Yu quietly, he didn't want this little brother to go down the wrong path, there were so many lessons from the past, how many people were exterminated, although it seemed that there had been no beheading for a long time, but he didn't think that those people would be better, being pulled down from the clouds, for some people, it was better to die.

"I, if I want me to say that if the two have a big difference in ability, I am still willing to appoint the smart one, after all, smart people know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, even if they are not loyal enough, as long as they are used, they can still do things, but if the gap between the two is not particularly large, it is naturally the one who wants to be loyal, which is more worry-free."

What Zhu Houxi said is very true, and there is another kind that you are not loyal to me, so why should I let you enjoy this high-ranking official? If the most basic equivalent exchange is not observed, why should he make himself uncomfortable?

"Right, you know such a simple truth, can Your Majesty not know? So, you must remember that loyalty is the first priority, and loyalty to Your Majesty is the cornerstone of your further progress, otherwise you don't see that there are still many lessons from the past, haven't you seen that most of the officials in the capital have been cut in half, and a large number of houses have been vacated? ”

"What you said makes sense, Zisheng can see it thoroughly, so how does Zisheng view the future national policy, that is, what does Your Majesty want to do, and where should we go?"

Xu Jie drank another glass, he was drunk, I don't know why, I felt that this little brother Lin Yu was very kind, so he drank a few more glasses, chatted and fell in love, and talked more.

"Harm, how do you call it to see it thoroughly, you have to be stupid when you should be stupid, some things are not something we can discuss, you don't dare to forget the country, it's nice to say, but even if you worry about it, what does it have to do with you, you know that you have a low status, or think about how you should live, don't think about this kind of unrealistic thing."

"In the future, in fact, it's not good to say for my brother, but for my brother, I can be sure that the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes, and there are so many empty positions, someone will always come to fill the vacancy, this is our opportunity, if you want to say where to go, there is no choice, just follow Your Majesty firmly, this will never be wrong."

Xu Jie waved his hand, they really have no choice, unless they don't take the test, they don't deserve to be an official, otherwise they have to abide by the rules formulated by His Majesty, in fact, the whole world is not the king's land, where they have to abide by the rules, but if they climb up, they may participate in the formulation of rules, which is the driving force for progress.

"Haha, if Zisheng becomes a big official in the future, what does Zisheng want to do?" Zhu Houxi smiled, Xu Jie was very cautious, and even a little too cautious, this is not good, but for the time being, there is no problem, let Yan Song go to training.

"Official? We haven't even started the exam yet, so you're thinking so far ahead? But if you really have the opportunity, you naturally want to realize the revenge in your heart, studying, isn't it just for the whole thing, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. ”

Seriously, Xu Jie didn't think about it that far, it was too far away, he just wanted to pass this Enke this time and enter the court smoothly.
