Chapter 350: No Thoughts
The next morning, there was a shocking news in the palace: Chen Honggong announced that he was old and had a will, and Huang Jin would take over as the master of ceremonies.
For this old eunuch leader of the former dynasty, Jiajing still gave a lot of decency. First of all, the voices clamoring for an inventory of the account books of the celebrant were directly suppressed by Jiajing.
Everyone is leaving, why are you still making this fuss? The celebrant will be under the control of Huang Jin in the future, and he will investigate if there is any problem.
Secondly, Jiajing rewarded Chen Hong with a plate of silver. In fact, this plate of silver is not much, only two hundred taels, not to mention Chen Hong, any big eunuch will not take it seriously, but it is of great significance.
This is called "giving money back to your hometown", which represents the emperor's affirmation of your many years of service, and also represents the emperor's attitude: you are free, go alive.
Jiajing must have known what Chen Hong had done in the account books. Although Jiajing did not object to the outcome of the case, he would definitely not be happy with Chen Hong's move.
If Chen Hong doesn't leave at this time, this unhappiness may occur at some point. But Chen Hong is so knowledgeable, it can almost be regarded as a resignation, and Jiajing will be more generous.
This is the heart of the emperor, he never cares whether what you do is right or wrong, only whether what you do is beneficial to him and whether he is in awe of him enough.
It is unknown how much credit Huang Jin has in this plate of silver, but when Chen Hong took the silver, his hands trembled slightly, and his heart finally let go.
He made a choice at a critical moment, took the risk to help Xiao Feng, that is, he made a bet, and now look, he won the bet.
The promise Xiao Feng made to him at the beginning has also fulfilled half of it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he descended from the top of the high mountain to the ground safely, avoiding the fall of his broken bones.
The remaining half depends on whether anyone dares to retaliate against him in the coming days. Others don't say it, he offended Dongchang a little ruthlessly this time.
Yan Niang came to the door again, in the past half a year, she has come very diligently, and she has no original rustiness, even Chen Da, who is the gatekeeper, has been instructed, and she will let her in when she comes, and she doesn't need to report it.
Yan Niang walked to the door of the inner hall and saw Chen Hong looking at the silver on the table in a daze, and his wife Xiaoqin was packing her clothes and luggage to prepare for the long trip.
Yan Niang bowed respectfully, and there was no difference because Chen Hong no longer had an identity. Chen Hong glanced up and smiled.
"Sit down, Xiao Feng asked you to come, what does he have to say?"
Yan Niang sat sideways and said softly: "Xiao Gongzi said that it was inconvenient for him to come at this time, so ask me to bring you a message."
He said: 'Tell Brother Chen that it is better to be still than to be still, and it is best to live in the capital'. As for the reason, the slave didn't dare to ask. ”
Chen Hong's eyes lit up, nodded slowly, and looked at Yan Niang affectionately, just like looking at his brother and daughter-in-law.
"Yan Niang, don't call yourself a slave in the future, just like Xiao Feng, just call me Brother Chen and sister-in-law Xiaoqin.
There are no people in my hometown anymore, I have lived in the capital all my life, I will live here and not leave. In the future, I will often come to play when I have time. ”
Xiaoqin frowned: "Master, didn't you say before that you want to find a place where no one is there to live in seclusion?" Xiao Feng said a word, and you changed your mind? ”
Chen Hong looked at his little daughter-in-law fondly: "If Xiao Feng doesn't say this, I have to leave quickly, now that he has said it, I can stay!" ”
Seeing the confused looks of the two women, Chen Hong smiled: "Go and let the kitchen cook a few good dishes, Yan Niang will accompany us for a drink." ”
got the news that Chen Hong was old and Huang Jin was on the throne, and the most panicked person was Zhang Yuan. He was worried that Huang Jin would take the opportunity to slander Jiajing and take over his Dongchang as well.
Therefore, in the past two days, he frequently asked to see Jiajing and report on his work, and Yan Song also said a lot of good things for Dongchang.
To be fair, although Dongchang didn't do much good work, it still did a lot of things. Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of dirty, not afraid of pots.
From Jiajing's launch of the "Great Rites Discussion", to the "recruitment of show girls", and then to the recent "change from rice to mulberry", anything that will cause protests and backlash from officials has been diligently arrested, beaten and killed by Dongchang.
After all, the responsibilities of Jinyiwei are still relatively miscellaneous, but the work of Dongchang has a clear goal: if you dare to make the emperor uncomfortable, we will beat him!
Zhang Yuan added oil and vinegar, Yan Song fanned the flames, and finally Jiajing's dissatisfaction with Zhang Yuan gradually subsided. More importantly, Yan Song knew very well what Jiajing was thinking.
It was easy to take out Zhang Yuan, but Jiajing did not have a suitable candidate to replace Zhang Yuan in a short period of time. The candidate for the Dongchang factory must not have a good relationship with Lu Bing.
No matter how much Jiajing trusts Lu Bing, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will always be in a relationship of monitoring and restraining each other. The relationship between Huang Jin and Lu Bing is very good, so Jiajing will not let Huang Jin directly control the East Factory.
Zhang Yuan's position was kept, which made Yan Shifan breathe a sigh of relief, Baihualou was gone, if Zhang Yuan also folded, this time it would really be a failure.
But fortunately, the advantage on the main battlefield is still mine, no matter how much Xiao Feng tosses before leaving, he is still going to go. As soon as he left the capital and went to the south, everything would be different.
Three days later, the sky was clear, ten miles long, and hundreds of officials gathered, waiting to send the governor of Jiangnan out of Beijing to take office. Unless the emperor personally goes out of the palace to see him off, this is the highest courtesy.
Hundreds of officials send each other, and the leader is naturally the head of the hundred officials. Yan Song took Yan Shifan and stood at the front of the hundred officials, he had been waiting for a long time, and his anger was already very strong.
"It's rude! Long live gave him such a high courtesy, and he didn't come until this time, how unreasonable is it! ”
Xiao Feng had just left the mansion at this time, and he was saying goodbye to everyone one by one.
King Yu and King Jing were ordered by Jiajing to see off on behalf of the emperor. These two people were much smarter than Baiguan, and they ran directly to Xiao Mansion and waited to go with Xiao Feng.
Liu Xueer, as a wife, is naturally qualified to say a few more words: "Brother Xiao Feng, you come back early......
Princess Chang'an, who was in the luxury carriage next to her, lifted the sedan curtain: "Sister Xue'er, don't worry, I will urge him to come back early." ”
Qiao Niang hugged Qiao Qiao's waist and didn't let her pounce on Xiao Feng: "Master, you have to be careful on the road......
Princess Chang'an nodded again and again: "Don't worry, Qiao Niang, it's safe to go out this time, you don't have to worry." ”
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang each carried a sword in their hands, and they looked decent: "Brother Xiao, you can take the two of us together, we can protect you!" ”
Princess Chang'an shook her head again and again: "No, no, it's far away, it's very dangerous to go out this time, you two can't do it!" ”
Liu Ruyun didn't say a word, her eyes were red, she rubbed the placket of her clothes in her hands, and looked at Xiao Feng stupidly.
Princess Chang'an didn't say a word, squinting her eyes, holding the car curtain in her hand, and looking at Liu Ruyun teaily.
Zhang Tianci said loudly: "Big brother, don't worry, I have me at home, and the things you asked me to find are already eyebrow-raising!" ”
Princess Chang'an nodded solemnly: "Well, then it's hard for you, Boss Zhang, you do a good job!" ”
Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly, this girl was too excited when she went out for the first time, and she almost said everything for herself, but fortunately, she really didn't know what to say.
Wangcai: "Wang, Wang, Wang." ”
Princess Chang'an thought for a long time, but she didn't know how to respond, so she had to give up and put down the car curtain.
The convoy started, and the people all over the street were on the side of the road to say goodbye, and Xiao Feng gave them up one by one.
Liu Tong's family, who were standing across the street, also waved desperately to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng beckoned right away, Liu Tong suddenly thought of something and reminded Xiao Feng loudly.
"Virtuous son-in-law! Jiangnan Qinglou is so stunning, you have to be strong, don't fall! ”
By the time Xiao Feng's convoy arrived at the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, Yu Dayou's troops had already arrived and had been waiting with the hundred officials for a while.
Seeing that Xiao Feng finally appeared, Baiguan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They really didn't expect to wait so long, so they didn't even bring a maza. They all respect their identities and refuse to sit on the ground, at this time, people like Yan Song, who are physically conditioned, are already shaking.
Yan Song endured his anger, if it was usual, he would definitely take the opportunity to toss. But today, Yan Shifan reminded him again and again.
"Father, don't lose a big thing because of a small thing. Let Xiao Feng set off smoothly, arrive in Jiangnan, stay away from Long live, let's clean him up! ”
So Yan Song still squeezed out a smile: "Lord Xiao, the old man is ordered to lead hundreds of officials to come to see him off, I wish Lord Xiao a smooth journey and success!" ”
Xiao Feng smiled faintly, dismounted and saluted the hundred officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not that Xiao Feng is lazy and domineering, it is really Her Royal Highness the princess who accompanies him, which is very cumbersome, so it is too late, and I hope that you will be Haihan!" ”
The officials nodded one after another, expressing their understanding, women, going out is trouble!
In the painting, he muttered angrily in the carriage: "It's clear that he sleeps by himself." I heard that he didn't go home until late at night last night, and it was Chunyanlou's carriage that sent him back!
I heard that there is a fire girl in the car, it is the red card of Chunyan Building! It must be tossing with the fire girl until midnight, but at this time, you are using the princess as a shield! ”
Princess Chang'an pouted: "What did I hear someone say, isn't it what Zhang Yunqing told you."
Let me tell you, among these women, there are several Yunqing hearts and eyes the most, and she deliberately told you to listen!
Man's husband, what's wrong with visiting a green building, look at Liu Xueer, no one said anything!
What's wrong with being a shield for Lord Xiao, man, only if he feels that he owes you something, will he be better for you! ”
Into the painting looked at Princess Chang'an in surprise: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you ...... Where did you learn these words? That's not how you usually talk......"
Princess Chang'an was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that she could leave aside all the women and monopolize Xiao Feng in the future, so she was overly excited, and the fragrance of tea overflowed, revealing her true nature. Shut up and cough twice.
"Into the painting, I, I don't know how long this body bone can last, so I will tell you these truths from the book, so that you will not be hurt in the future."
According to the farewell ceremony, the prince and the first assistant had to toast separately, and after Xiao Feng had three glasses of wine, his eyes crossed Yan Song, and Yan Shifan's eyes were opposite, and a thousand words were all in his words.
Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, I'm afraid that you still think that my father is holding you as the governor of Jiangnan at this time, so that you can change the pot of rice to mulberry on your back. Don't worry, you may not have the life to live to that time!
Xiao Feng smiled faintly, at this time, someone set up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Xiao Feng to leave the ink treasure. This is also one of the parts of the send-off ceremony.
Because most of the people who are eligible to enjoy this kind of farewell ceremony are important ministers of the imperial court, and they go to the border fortress, which is full of dangers.
Before leaving, he often wrote down some words to express his loyalty, and asked someone to take them back to the emperor, which was regarded as a return gift to the emperor for arranging this ceremony.
Yuwang whispered: "Master, if you don't know what to write, you can write 'do your best', looking at the historical records, there are the most people who write this." ”
King Jing nodded: "Me too." ”
Yuwang: "......"
Xiao Feng smiled, picked up his pen, thought of Jiajing sitting in the fine house, looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, and inexplicably thought of the Yun girl who left last night.
The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle, senior brother, are things in this world really that simple? Are the clouds free in the blue sky? Isn't water free in a bottle?
You think that the hundred officials standing in front of you are all puppets with strings, and the thread on each person's body is held in your hand.
But do you really know what they're thinking? They also feel that everyone is holding you with this thread!
The one who pulls the thread is also led by the thread. The more threads you hold in your hand, the more people will hold you.
If you lead the hundred officials, the hundred officials will lead you, and if you lead the world alone, the world will lead you.
The pen falls, the word comes out, and the first word is "day".
Hundreds of officials discussed: "It should be written 'the world is for the public'!" Well, this one isn't bad either. Or is it 'Heavenly Grace'? Better! ”
The second word is high, and the officials began to frown: "Do you want to write 'the sky is high and the clouds are light'?" Although it is indifferent and pure in line with the habits of Taoism, it seems a little out of place on this occasion, right? ”
There are also people who think they have the truth: "Definitely not, I guess it's 'the sky is high and the earth is thick', which represents the gratitude to the emperor's grace!" ”
"The sky is high and the clouds are raining, and the night is cold and the water is turning into ice. All states change with the environment, and no thought is centrifuged. ”
After Xiao Feng finished writing, he threw down his pen and turned on his horse: "Ladies and gentlemen, send each other for ten miles, and finally say goodbye!" ”
"What? What is this? ”
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, let me take a look, what is written!"
"Let go of your hand, this is to take it back to Banzai, don't tear it up."
"What do you mean by that? It doesn't seem to rhyme! ”
In the midst of the arguments of the hundred officials, Yu Dayou led the soldiers and surrounded Xiao Feng's convoy in the middle, Zhang Wuxin followed Xiao Feng on horseback, and An Qingyue rode to follow the princess's carriage and walked away.
Yan Shifan looked at this poem, his one eye shrank suddenly, of course he knew what Xiao Feng wrote.
In this world, the softest is water, the hardest is also water, the gentlest is water, and the fiercest is also water. It can't be smashed, it can't be broken, it can't be chopped, and it can't be trapped.
Can you beat one of these people?
After reading the poem brought back by his son, Jiajing smiled faintly for a long time: "Your master, your cultivation has become more profound." ”
King Yu nodded again and again: "Erchen also thinks that the master must miss the master very much, so the poem is written with all kinds of water, but the word 'snow' is not mentioned."
But he also said that 'one thought is not detached' to express his loyalty to his master. Seeing the big from the small, the master is so loyal to the master and the mother, and he must be even more loyal to the father!
I have already asked someone to copy a copy and send it to Xiaofu, and Qiaoqiao said that the master listened to my explanation and was very happy! ”
The corners of Jiajing's mouth twitched, he was shocked by his son's such a magical brain circuit, but he didn't know that he had become an emperor at this age and had obtained the greatest right in the world, but he had also lost the right to fall in love with his youth.
Yuwang's mind is full of how to please Qiaoqiao at this time, and when he sees anything, he can associate love, and Jiajing will not understand this feeling.
Jiajing looked at King Jing hopefully, expecting him to give a more reliable understanding.
King Jing was preempted by King Yu, and nodded in annoyance: "Me too." ”
"Copy this poem a hundred times!"
