Chapter 525: Positive Toughness
Xu Jie knew that Xiao Feng would definitely not dare to let him kneel, because if Xiao Feng dared to accept this kneeling, he would not be able to go to court again in the future.
After all, Xu Jie is the first assistant, and he is the first official in the world! And today Xiao Feng has been supporting the generals, and the eccentricity has been revealed.
Originally, Xu Fan's rudeness was the first, but Xiao Feng designed to say rebellious words, and the situation was extremely dangerous. But after Xu Jie's words, he suddenly became ignorant and wanted to be in the limelight.
With Xiao Feng's status and status, if he is as knowledgeable as Xu Fan, it will not be enough style. If Xu Jie is forced to kneel for his son, it will inevitably arouse the anger of civil officials across the country.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant Xiao Feng was, he would definitely stand up, stop Xu Jie's kneeling, and say a few words in return.
For example: "Xu Shoufu can't be like this, Ling Lang is just young and vigorous, I have already overstepped my responsibilities and taught you a lesson, just a small punishment and a big commandment." ”
As soon as these words came out, the incident that Xu Fan made trouble came to an end, and there was no danger, and each other saved face.
Political struggle, the competition is IQ, and it is easy not to tear your face. What's more, everyone knows that Jiajing is sitting in the back, and whoever tears his face first will not save face for the court, and will hit the emperor's face.
Xiao Feng and Xu Jie looked at each other, Xu Jie's posture of kneeling had already been posed, and his legs were slowly bending, just waiting for Xiao Feng to stand up and stop him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng looked at him, with a hint of ridicule and coldness in his eyes, he sat still and didn't speak, he actually looked like he really wanted Xu Jie to kneel!
This posture of kneeling or not kneeling is very difficult to grasp, interested friends can try it, especially when Xu Jie is still old, it is even more difficult.
The lower Xu Jie's legs bent, the more difficult it was to maintain slow motion, he looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, Xiao Feng's gaze was already cold, and he suddenly understood Xiao Feng's intentions.
Come on, hurt each other. Don't you want to use this anti-guest as the main thing and force me to give up the investigation? I won't.
If you dare to kneel, I will dare to take it. In the end, I aroused the anger of civil officials across the country and was forced to leave the court, but what about you?
As the first assistant of the hall, you kneel down to the second assistant in the hall, and when I leave, you will have the face to continue to do it in the future? Will the civil servants obey you?
Xu Jie turned his head abruptly and looked at the high arch behind him.
Gao Gong didn't expect Xu Jie's movements to be so fast, and he didn't have time to bow his head, exposing his face full of anticipation to Xu Jie's gaze.
This can't be blamed on Gao Gong's bad acting skills, but happiness came too suddenly.
With his scheming, from Xu Jie's standing up to take responsibility for his son, he had already guessed Xu Jie's purpose.
But he didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so rigid and want to fight with Xu Jie! It's a pie from the sky!
This kneeling, unless Jiajing dares to replace the civil officials of the whole country in order to support Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng will definitely retire to the court.
But Xu Jie's old face has nowhere to put it! Even if he is cheeky and wants to continue working, the officials will not obey him.
What is the most important thing for a literati? Backbone, bones!
You seconded Xu back then, everyone can understand it, but at least you haven't knelt down for Yan Song in front of the court!
And once the civil servants no longer support him, Banzai will never keep him again. As soon as Princess Chang'an's matter was turned over, he forced Xiao Feng out of the court again, can he give him a good face?
So...... The two tigers competed, both defeated, I seconded the proposal in the grass, and finally stood up, won the double kill, and successfully reached the top!
The sudden ecstasy made Gao Gong a little carried away, resulting in his failure to remain cautious and being looked at by Xu Jie. But although Xu Jie was annoyed, he was helpless.
He was already riding a tiger at this time, and his legs were half bent, so he couldn't Xiao Feng not say a word, and he suddenly stood up straight again!
Xu Jie couldn't wait to give himself two slaps at this time! I have been planning and then acting, knowing myself and the enemy, and I will not be defeated in a hundred battles. But my understanding of Xiao Feng is obviously not deep enough!
I can't imagine that this bastard is really willing to die in the net! This is his own mistake, could it be that after Yan Song fell, he floated away? Not cautious enough?
But what do you do now?
yes, what should I do now? Jiajing's mind was also spinning rapidly, and he didn't expect the situation to become like this all of a sudden.
Let Lu Bing go out to stop it? No, this is not Jiajing's style. If you come forward yourself, you will intervene in the struggle of the courtiers, and it is not appropriate to express your position at this time!
Ignore it? Losing the first and second assistants all of a sudden, this hole is also a bit big, and the court will definitely be in chaos!
In all fairness, Xu Jie's ability is very strong, and his junior and younger abilities are even stronger, and the Ming Dynasty is on the rise, and if two cylinders explode at once, it will affect my ascension sprint!
Just when Jiajing was thinking about it, Gao Gong's face was full of anticipation, and Xu Jie's two legs were shaking more and more, Xu Fan suddenly pounced and hugged Xu Jie's two legs.
Xu Fan hugged him very hard, and straightened Xu Jie's bent knees in one fell swoop. Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, drenched in sweat. Half tired, half scared.
Xu Fan howled and cried: "Father, father! The son is not filial, young and frivolous, he doesn't know the height of the sky, he offends his colleagues, and offends Lord Xiao!
Everything is the son's fault, and the son is willing to admit his guilt! The father must not blame himself, it is the son's own fault! ”
Xu Fan's forehead was bleeding, tears were in his eyes, his feelings were sincere, and the onlookers were moved. Those martial artists who were originally angry and embarrassed also showed sympathy on their faces.
In fact, the civil and military officials also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and when they glanced at each other, they were all a little afraid.
The winning and losing hands released by Xu Jie, even if these spirits didn't understand it at first, they could react when the two sides were deadlocked later.
The civil officials were afraid that Xu Jie would lose the face of the civil officials, and the generals were afraid that Xiao Feng would be forced to retreat because of this.
Xiao Feng glanced at Xu Fan and sighed in his heart. Such a talent, I hope to be able to take the right path, and don't go into the evil path.
"Lord Xu, Ling Lang is commendable for his filial piety, Xiao Feng is not an unreasonable person, I don't care if he offends me or not.
It's just that Xiao Feng, as the acting governor of Shuntian Mansion, still needs to enforce the law impartially. As the second assistant of the imperial court, he also has the responsibility of selecting scholars for the imperial court. ”
Xu Jie originally wanted to force Xiao Feng to completely stop pursuing his son, but Xiao Fengyu's determination to break the net just now made him retreat, so he had to nod.
"Although Lord Xiao enforces the law impartially, don't spare this little beast because of the old man!"
Xiao Feng said indifferently: "Xu Fan, as a new science and technology scholar, I don't know how to be cautious in words and deeds, and as the son of Shoufu, I don't know how to cherish feathers."
As a scholar, he doesn't know how to read to nourish his spirit, and he has a vain desire to win; As a scholar, he doesn't know the general situation of the court, and he vainly discusses the level of civil and military affairs.
If you don't agree with each other, you will fight with your hands, like a street scoundrel; selfishness, sophistry in the court, involving civil and military officials!
Didn't you say that the Ming Dynasty never fell into the Jinshi? Let's set a precedent for you today.
Take away your status as a jinshi, want to be an official, take the exam next time, or wait for grace! ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, this punishment was really heavy enough! Xu Fan's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Feng blankly, as if he couldn't believe it.
Those new science and technology scholars were even more silent, for fear that Xiao Feng would notice them if they sneezed, and they would take the test in vain.
A trace of heartache flashed in Xu Jie's eyes, but he still shouted.
"Not thanksgiving? Then go home, study for a few more years, learn how to be a person and do things, and then think about being an official! ”
Xu Fan thanked him and left in despair, and the onlookers felt that the victory and defeat had been divided, and they sighed that an official man would be gone with a "sigh", and he was ready to leave.
"Lord Xiao, the old man is not strict with his children, so he shouldn't have spoken cheekily. But what the dog and the adult discussed, aside from his desire to be in the limelight, is there no merit? ”
Well? Uh-huh? The footsteps of the onlookers stopped at once! The civil officials and jinshi, who were originally depressed, suddenly raised their heads.
Xu Jie personally went into battle! When the first assistant and the second assistant are going to face each other, it's tough! Heaven, earth, is this really something that can be seen in vain without having voted?
Jiajing's eyebrows in the back hall trembled, and Huang Jin said softly: "Long live, do you want to let Lord Lu go out and show his face......
Jiajing was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's a boil that always has to come out." The status of civil and military officials is unbalanced, and they have been resentful for a long time, so it's good to let Xiao Feng sort it out, anyway, ......"
Jiajing didn't continue, but Huang Jin and Lu Bing both knew it.
Anyway, I didn't say anything, who of them won or lost, and in the end, it was up to me to adjust the situation.
Civil and military generals, who are respected and who are inferior, who is high and who are low, are all serving the emperor. The Emperor wanted the seesaw to be balanced, but the difficulty of this movement was too high.
Therefore, in all dynasties, civil officials and military generals will always press back and forth on the seesaw, and the emperor wants to move the camera, which side is too heavy, and he has to add people to the other side.
If the conditioning is not good, it will overturn, and there will be the result of the Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, and being kicked by others. Or there will be a troubled era in which military generals are in power and abolished at will.
Seeing that there was no movement in the back hall, Xu Jie and Xiao Feng knew that Jiajing was going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally deal with the aftermath according to the situation.
The two of them stood and sat together, looking at each other, and a thousand words were in it.
Xu Jie has always been patient and cautious, and today he is really angry, because Xiao Feng's move to die just now is really too hooligan, too unstylish!
Xiao Feng smiled on his face, his eyes cold. He knew that Xu Jie was a capable person who could help Da Ming become stronger. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng still need to go through a few years of training before they can take over.
So he had already suppressed the breath of Chang An's death, but as soon as he returned to Beijing, Xu Jie provoked disputes three times and twice, and it would be too nonsense for him not to fight back.
That's why today he will put on a posture of dying with Xu Jie, so that Xu Jie understands that don't always use the means of politicians to deal with himself, he dares to flip the table when he is in a hurry!
"Since Lord Xu thinks that Ling Lang's words have merit, he might as well take them out and continue. I can teach Ling Lang, and I should be able to teach Lord Xu as well. ”
Xu Jie sneered: "Dogs are naturally arrogant, but Lord Xiao may not be crazy. Although the old man is only a shallow learner, long live and also made the old man a scholar of the Jidian Temple.
A scholar is the pinnacle of the Ming literati, although Lord Xiao is also a scholar, but he is young, and he claims to be able to teach the old man, isn't it arrogant? ”
Xiao Feng smiled indifferently: "After doing it for a long time, Ling Lang's arrogance turned out to be inherited from Lord Xu, I didn't expect you to be much more crazy than Ling Lang!" ”
Xu Jie said coldly: "Oh? The old man doesn't let you teach, it's arrogant? Do you want to teach the old man, instead of being arrogant? What do you mean by that? ”
Xiao Feng pointed to the sun in the sky: "Lord Xu, what is this?" ”
Xu Jiesu knew that Xiao Feng's thinking jumped very fast, so he secretly guarded himself in his heart, but Xiao Feng had a question, and he couldn't help but answer, so he answered cautiously.
"This is the sun, what is Lord Xiao going to do when he changes the subject?"
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Lord Xu, in the book of Liezi, 'The sunrise is as big as a car cover, and the middle of the day is like a pan, isn't this small for the far and big for the near?' ’
'The beginning of the day is cool and cool, and the middle of the day is like a soup, which is not hot for the near and cold for the far? What's the explanation? ”
Everyone couldn't help frowning, even at that time, this passage was well-known, and even serious readers had heard of it, isn't this a debate between two children?
With the level of knowledge of the people at that time, at least the level of knowledge of most people, this question is unsolvable, what is the purpose of asking this question?
Xu Jie chuckled in his heart, he knew that the question Xiao Feng asked was not the question itself at all, but another meaning.
He sighed, knowing that he had lost a move in this game: "The old man doesn't know this problem, does Lord Xiao know?" ”
Xiao Feng smiled: "Of course I know, but you can't understand it even if you explain it." This involves the refractive index of light in the air.
I just want to ask you, Confucius has all things that he doesn't know, and he humbly says, 'If you have a threesome, you must have my teacher', how can you be sure that I am not in your threesome? ”
Xu Jiexin said of course I'm fucking sure, you're going to be in it when I'm a threesome, won't I become Yan Shifan? But of course, this cannot be said.
"The old man said that Master Xiao can't teach me, but the old man said it wrong, not only Lord Xiao, even if he is a teacher of one word, he can teach people."
Xiao Feng smiled: "So are you arrogant, or am I arrogant?" ”
Xu Jie snorted: "It's the old man who is arrogant." Since this is the case, the old man asked Lord Xiao for a lesson or two!
The dog said that in the peaceful and prosperous world, when the military should be governed by culture, the adults caught the loopholes of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the blow was fatal.
The old man now removed these two yamen, and only said that the generals who led the troops to fight, and wanted to ask the adults again, what is wrong with this? ”
Xiao Feng looked at Xu Jie's face: "Lord Xu is diligent in royal affairs, and his body is tired, I heard that yesterday Long Live gave the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of the adult?" ”
Xu Jie's face showed a hint of a smile: "This is long live the grace of heaven, the old minister is grateful in his heart, long live, he will definitely do his best, and then die." ”
Xiao Feng asked with concern: "I don't know how the adult's connections are, and how does the imperial doctor prescribe the prescription for the adult?" ”
Xu Jie frowned, not knowing what Xiao Feng was doing when he suddenly brought up this matter.
But Xiao Feng was concerned about his body at this time, and in front of everyone's eyes, he couldn't help but know what was wrong.
Originally, the fight between high-ranking officials should be like this! No matter how much they hate each other and grit their teeth, they still have to be affectionate and affectionate in person, and they are warm, blowing, patting.
If you have no concept of this set, please watch the performance of Lord Zhixian and Song Shijie in "The Judge of the Dead", which is very exciting.
"Lord Xiao has a heart, the imperial doctor said that the old man is fine, but he has stayed up a little more late, and his liver is hot, so it would be good to take some good medicine to get rid of the fire."
Xiao Feng shook his head again and again: "How can you be so casual and simple?" I heard that the Korean envoys came to the capital to pay homage to Long Live and brought good ginseng!
I should ask Banzai to reward two sticks to Lord Xu. Oh, no, Lord Xu has always been frugal, maybe he was reluctant to take it, but he delayed his body.
Or let the Jing Imperial Doctor directly prepare the ginseng soup and let Lord Xu take it on the spot! Lord Xu must drink it all in one gulp to express his gratitude to Long Live it! ”
Xu Jie was shocked and angry: "Xiao Feng! Do you want to kill the old man? Obviously said that the old man's liver is hot and needs to take cold medicine, but you have to go to bewitch Long Live to give me ginseng soup! His heart can be punished! ”
Xu Jie's anger was not acted, but real!
Of course, he knew that Jiajing would not do this now, but if one day, this scene appeared, he would be finished.
Long live the ginseng soup for you, not to mention that your liver is hot, even if you are already bleeding from your nose, you must also drink it, and you must not say crookedly how my body is now.
The story of Xu Da eating roast goose, although it may not be true, but for people of Xu Jie's level, they would rather believe it than believe it!
So Xiao Feng's words were not only angry with him, but also cursing him, and it was very much like threatening him.
Old thing, don't you know what the relationship between Lao Tzu and Senior Brother is? You really offended me badly, and when you are useless one day, Lao Tzu will let my senior brother reward you with a bowl of ginseng soup!
Xiao Feng looked at the excited Xu Jie in surprise: "Lord Xu, why are you disrespectful to me?" Ginseng is the best medicine!
In particular, the ginseng paid tribute by North Korea is all old ginseng dug from Changbai Mountain. Unlike what we sell in our own pharmacies, many of them are counterfeited as grass ginseng.
I may not be able to give up this kind of excellent medicine, but I am willing to reward you for the sake of Lord Xu's hard work!
I think so much about Lord Xu, but Lord Xu speaks ill of me, it's really that biting that, I don't know the hearts of good people! ”
Xu Jie was furious, and he was still biting and biting, it seemed that he had written a clear word, but he couldn't stand the half sentence behind it!
Who hears the second half of the sentence, I don't know what kind of fart you put in the first half of the sentence! You are really civilized enough, you don't even write a dirty word when you swear people!
"Xiao Feng, you let it go...... Licentious! No matter how good the ginseng is, it has to be symptomatic, and if the symptoms are not right, no matter how good the medicine is, it will become poison!
People are divided into yin and yang, the void is supplemented, the reality is discharged, yin and yang are harmonized, and the virtual and the real have a degree, don't you understand such a simple truth? ”
Xu Jie's anger blurted out, and then his heart sank, and he finally knew what Xiao Feng, the bastard, was going to say.
But he couldn't take back his words, and he couldn't stop Xiao Feng. Because he suddenly realized that Xiao Feng had controlled the rhythm of this battle from beginning to end.
Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "Is it that I don't understand, or do you not understand?" Traditional Chinese medicine comes from Taoism, and it also emphasizes the unity of nature and man.
People are like the world, and the world is like people. This big tomorrow is like a person. Men are yang, women are yin, martial arts are real, and civil servants are virtual.
It is necessary to reconcile yin and yang, and there is a degree of virtuality and reality, so that the world can be healthy and the national fortune will be prosperous.
If the martial arts are strong and the literature is weak, it is like a person who is full of fire and water is lost, and he needs to vent his fire and rush into weakness; If the culture is strong and the martial arts are weak, it is like the human body is weak and afraid of cold, and it needs to be replenished and suppressed.
Although Korean ginseng is good, it is as bad as poison, how can you become a panacea regardless of the symptoms? ”
