By the time Xu He and the three of them returned to the Yamen, Li Zhijie had already returned.

When two old friends saw each other, they were both in tears.

At the most critical time of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war, if it weren't for the grain and grass supported by Li Zhijie in Yangzhou Prefecture, the situation in Zhejiang would have been eroded, how could it be possible to wait until Li Zhijie went north to ask for food.

But Li Zhijie felt that he hadn't done enough, and hugged Xie Kun's arm and said with red eyes: "If it weren't for the prince worshipping his ancestors and the flood crossing, I could have raised more grain and grass, and Lu Butang would not have committed suicide, and you wouldn't be what you are today!" ”

The two big men cried like this, which made it difficult for the juniors present to stand anymore.

Xu He stepped forward and said, "Teacher, uncle, how can the two of you take on this responsibility for this kind of thing?" ”

Qi Jiguang also said: "Yes, the teacher and Master Li have done their best, Lu Butang's regret is really, it is really ......."

Xu He knew that what he wanted to say next should be the word [imperial court], but he was cautious and didn't want to talk about the imperial court in front of so many people, so he couldn't say it anymore after saying half of it.

Fortunately, Li Zhijie and Xie Kun quickly adjusted their mood and stopped talking about this sad matter.

Li Zhijie had already prepared a luncheon, and asked his wife to meet Xie Kun, during which everyone picked up some happy things and said, but they didn't say a word about the widows.

"Liangsheng, the Great Grandmaster has already read your scroll, and it is estimated that he will directly promote you as a student!" Li Zhijie said.

When Xie Kun heard this, he was rarely happy and said: "Liangsheng's knowledge is getting better and better!" It's only been a long time since the middle school students were admitted to the exam, and they were already students! ”

The state of the students gives them rice every month, and the family can also exempt two people from forced labor, so it can be said that the students who are admitted to the examination are nothing.

Only the students among the students are the privileged class that really become the country, although they are still at the bottom.

But even if it is a small privilege at the bottom, many people can't think of it in their lifetime.

Qi Jiguang looked at Xu He with envy and said: "A son of a hundred households in our health office, because he was admitted to Xiucai, those hundred households now see the commander, and the commander is polite to him, you are so good!" ”

Xie Kun asked Xu He: "I remember that Yang Yinqiu seems to be not on good terms with your family, but I didn't expect him to be impartial!" ”

Li Zhijie smiled: "Ziyu, what year is this old yellow calendar, and now Nan Zhili's Dao is no longer Yang Yinqiu!" ”

Xie Kun suddenly said: "Xia Yangqiu fell down, and he was also stepped on by others?" Who is the current Tixue? ”

"Wang Liangchen!" Li Zhijie said.

Hearing this name, Xie Kun frowned and asked, "Are you talking about Wang Rulin?" ”

Seeing Li Zhi's head, Xie Kun snorted coldly: "Wang Liangchen is not bad, but it is indeed the in-laws of the Shen family, and there is really no one in the country!" ”

When Xu He heard this, he was surprised and said, "Uncle Shi, although the great grandmaster is said to be the in-law of the Shen family, he is still quite square!" ”

Xie Kun shook his head and said, "As long as you have something to do with the Songjiang Shen family, there is no good person!" ”

Seeing that Xie Kun rejected the Shen family so much, Xu He thought it was because he also knew some inside stories of the Shen family, who knew that the teacher Li Zhijie said: "When Shen Han of the Shen family was the elder of the cabinet, he once impeached your uncle's sister, that is, the current palace of Her Royal Highness the Empress to interfere in politics!" So the two have been at odds with each other! ”

Seeing that Xie Kun didn't mean to stop him, Li Zhijie continued: "Speaking of this, their Xie family also has to thank Xiao Shigong!" ”

Hearing this, Xu He was surprised: "What does this have to do with my eldest uncle?" ”

It turned out that Emperor Zhizheng had a total of four queens.

The first queen is Empress Chen, born in a small family, beautiful in appearance, was selected in the palace draft when Emperor Zhizheng first ascended the throne, Queen Chen was more favored, but in the end she died of pregnancy and dystocia.

The second is Empress Lu, shortly after the death of Empress Chen, Empress Lu was canonized, but was deposed in the twelfth year of Zhizheng, it is said that because of the mother's indulgence, which angered Emperor Zhizheng, so he found an excuse to abolish it.

But Empress Lu had two sons, namely the later crown prince Zhang Yan and the king of Qi Zhang Can.

Queen Lu was later beaten into the cold palace, and the two princes were also adopted by the third queen Fang, it is estimated that the two brothers were also because they were not raised by their biological mothers since they were children, so they grew up without brothers, friends and brothers, and they met like enemies.

Speaking of the third queen of Emperor Zhizheng, Fang Shi, that is really a ruthless character.

Because she has never come out, whenever she hears any movement in the stomach of the concubine in the palace, she is nervous, and she can't wait for the other party to die immediately.

Finally, in the twenty-fourth year of Zhizheng, a major event happened.

It is said that Concubine Gong was pregnant at that time, and she was already pregnant before she was known by Queen Fang, and Queen Fang knew that Concubine Gong had already formed a fetus with Shunzi soup, causing Concubine Gong to hemorrhage and die.

When the news spread outside the palace, the courtiers were furious, and on the same day, some people knelt outside the noon gate and asked the emperor to depose the queen.

However, Emperor Zhizheng was very fond of the Fang clan at that time, so he disdained this rumor, and instead felt that the ministers who knelt on the ground and begged for advice saw the wind and rain, and falsely accused the Fang clan.

Among the courtiers kneeling outside the noon gate at that time, Xu Song, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, was the leader, and most of them were officials from Jiangnan.

Later, the Fang clan was deposed, and Emperor Zhizheng was not remembered by others, so he remembered Xu Song, who was the leader.

Xu He suddenly realized: "No wonder the uncle always says that he doesn't have a sacred heart, so that's the case!" ”

But he was puzzled: "Then what does this have to do with Her Royal Highness the current Queen?" Why does the teacher say that the teacher still wants to thank my uncle? ”

Xie Kun sighed and said: "The Fang family was abolished, my sister was still a small servant in the palace at that time, because she was called to His Majesty's grace, she soon became pregnant, and was promoted to a concubine, at that time there was a talented person surnamed Gong, and at the same time she was pregnant with your sister's prince, at that time, the back seat was vacant, and the court was arguing over who to appoint for the main palace!" ”

Li Zhijie said: "The Shen family supports Gong Cairen, who is in the middle of the court to create wind and rain, and the queen has little chance today, but Xiao Shigong impeached Gong Cairen's father for bullying men and women in the countryside, and colluding with the government to annex Mintian. Oh, by the way, at that time, Xiao Shigong had already been released, and the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the governor of Jizhou and other places, and the Gong Cai family was from Ninghe, Shuntian Mansion! ”

"Because of this incident, Gong Cairen was frightened day and night, which led to miscarriage ......"

When Xu He heard this, he realized that the current queen, the eldest sister of her uncle, was on the throne, and it turned out that it was related to her uncle.

"That's not right!" Xu He frowned and said, "I remember that when Shi Bo came, he didn't ...... our Xu family."

Xie Kun smiled: "Don't be false to your Xu family? Didn't come to meet Xiao Shigong? ”

Xu He nodded.

Xie Kun said: "After that incident, my sister asked me to go to Xu Mansion to visit the door to thank you, but who knew that Xiao Shigong turned me away, saying that he impeached the Gong family for the sake of the country and His Majesty, not for our Xie family!" And tell me not to come to the door in the future! ”

It's strange, before the eldest uncle left, he still wanted Xie Kun to help him with advice, isn't this a slap in the face?

No, time has changed, the queen has already sat in a secure position, Xu Song is now just an old man of the Pole Pavilion, and Xie Kun is more familiar with the situation of the southeast rebellion, at this time, please invite Xie Kun into the curtain, and the emperor probably will not have any fear.
