At the same time, Yan Shifan's ship had stopped at the dock at the east gate.
His mother has been dead for five days, her death period has expired, and she is about to carry her coffin back to her hometown for burial.
Yan Shifan was from Fenyi, Jiangxi Province. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, after the death of an official's parents, he must resign his official position and return to his hometown to observe mourning for three years before he can return to the court as an official, which is called Ding You.
Of course, there are exceptions. If the official has a very high position and is very important, he cannot leave during bad times. When this happens, the emperor will issue a special edict, ordering the official to serve as an official in the court and not to return to his hometown to observe filial piety. This is the so-called seizing love.
Although the officials whose love was stolen may have a lower official position, they have left a huge stain on their political resume and personal ethics, and they will be despised by the world. Later, Zhang Juzheng was scolded as a beast by subsequent officials because he was stolen from the emperor, which made the boss boring.
The question is, now that Emperor Jiajing is eager to send Yan Shifan away, how can he win his affection?
"If we don't go out, Mr. Xiaoge will never be able to return to the capital after returning to his hometown to observe filial piety." In the heavy snow, a carriage was driving quickly on the street.
The carriage has a mahogany shaft and is trimmed with white copper. It looks extremely luxurious and capable. Looking at the logo on the carriage, it is clearly the official vehicle of King Jing.
In the car, it was Lin Tingchen who was speaking. He carefully looked at Jing Wei and considered his tone: "With Long Live Lord's vigilance against the strict party, I'm afraid that as soon as Xiao Ge Lao Yi leaves the capital, he will start to cut him off." People from the Yan Party. Now that Hu Zongxian has entered, in the next step, no one knows how many people will be dismissed from office. Even if Mr. Yan Ge can successfully pass this test, in three years, Mr. Xiaoge's filial piety period will expire. , His Majesty is afraid that he may not be allowed to serve as an official."
King Jing sat in the car with a gloomy look on his face. He has been feeling very poorly recently and has a severe cold. Even though he was wearing a thick fox fur coat, he was still so cold that he couldn't help but stamp his feet and hold the copper hand stove tightly with his hands.
Hear what Lin Tingchen said. He snorted and interrupted Lin Tingchen's words very rudely: "Since Yan Shifan can no longer count on him, why don't you come and give him a ball? It's so cold. I'd better go back to the house early and hide in the Burnt Earth Dragon. There¡¯s no decency in the house.¡±
With that said, he was about to call the driver back.
Lin Tingchen felt depressed after hearing this. This King Jing is really a heartless person. Regardless of whether you are useful to him or not, he has no enthusiasm for you, as if everyone in the world owes him.
The Yan Party has fallen. Xiao Yan is the core of the Yan Party. Now he is gone. Mr. Yan Ge's talents are simply not enough to control so many capable people. If nothing else happens, things will be over soon.
"Now is the time to fully accept the political legacy of the strict party" and increase our own momentum.
Mr. Xiao Ge left the capital today. This is a great opportunity to see him off and win people's hearts.
This is also the policy set by Mr. Xu Wenchang. But just because he was afraid of the cold, the prince wanted to go back.
This made Lin Tingchen cry and said quickly: "Your Majesty, it is Mr. Xu's wish to see Mr. Xiaoge off today. He must have fallen in love with the dock now. Isn't it a good idea not to go?"
"What's wrong, Prince Gu Tangtang, it's a waste of time to see Xiao Yan off. It's a favor to see him off, but it's just a matter of principle not to see him off."
King Jing said very rudely and stared at Lin Tingchen fiercely: "Master Lin, do you think what I said is wrong?"
Lin Tingchen couldn't stand it: "Yes, yes, the prince is right, but where is Mr. Xu" He admired Xu Wenchang's talent and resourcefulness to the point of admiration, and was astonished.
Not to mention that Xu Wenchang was okay, but as soon as he said it, King Jing's expression changed. He suddenly raised his voice and roared loudly: "In my opinion, Xu Wei is also a useless person. Who are you talking about? I am the second in the Ming Dynasty." What a talented man, bah. If he was really talented, why didn't he think of a way to kill Wu Jie when he was in Hu Zongxian's court. And now, Hu Zongxian is also behind bars. In my opinion, this person is just a braggart. "
He became more and more angry as he spoke: "I was also confused and deceived. When he came to my palace that day. When I heard his name, I thought he was a talented man. When he was a distinguished guest, he obeyed his advice. Later, he He said that he wanted to pass the Hai Rui case and burn the fire on my brother's head, secretly plotting against him."
"The king believed him, mobilized his talents to cooperate with him, and created a palace with hundreds of officials in Xiyuan. Unexpectedly, it was a self-defeating thing. Now that he is fine, not only is he unscathed, but he has entered the center and participated in state affairs. .¡±
"His grandma, this Xu Wenchang is definitely a traitor, a traitor!"
Speaking of his anger, King Jing fiercely threw the stove to the ground: "According to my past temper, I will definitely kill this idiot Xu Wenchang."
This one of hisIt doesn't matter if he vents. Lin Tingchen was so shocked that his face turned pale and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please lower your voice and be careful to be heard by others."
He stretched out his head again and said to the coachman: "Don't turn around, let's go to the pier."
When we arrived at the pier, we pulled out of the car and saw a large ship in the distance amid the bleak wind and snow.
There was no one else on the pier. In such a cold weather, the porters and sailors on the pier didn't know where to hide to have a drink.
Thinking back on how prosperous Xiao Ge Lao Yan Shifan was back then, now that Ding You has returned to his hometown, but no one has come to see him off, it is really desolate.
After getting out of the car, King Jing was almost taken a step backward by the cold wind, and he cursed angrily: "Send, send, send, screw him, Xu Wei, the thief, deserves to die!"
Lin Tingchen hurriedly supported King Jing: "Your Highness, please lower your voice and be heard carefully."
"So what if you heard it?" King Jing was still scolding, but he saw a thin old man wearing a raincoat walking over in front of him, roaring, who could it be if it wasn't Xu Wei.
"Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not whistling and walking slowly. Bamboo sticks and mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?
Yiyan Rain Ren Ping Shengsheng Summer Spring Breeze wakes up, slightly cold, but the mountains are obliquely. Looking back at the desolate place where I came from, there was neither wind, rain nor sunshine. "
"Wu Shizhen's poem is not suitable for use here, but the state of life in which there is no awakening or drunkenness, no joy or sadness, and both victory and defeat are forgotten is deeply in my heart. Well, I have to admit that as far as poetry is concerned, Xu Wenchang admires him like a mountain!"
Xu Wei stood in front of King Jing, looked at him with a smile, and asked: "The prince seems to be in a low mood. Who were you scolding just now?"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But when he saw Xu Wei, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, he said: "I I am scolding Lin Tingchen!"
Xu Wei smiled: "Today is the day when Mr. Xiaoge leaves the capital, and it is also the day when he withdraws from the political stage. But the things he left behind are of great value to us. There is another important person coming today, but by chance, today , everyone gathered together.¡±
"who?"
"Hu Yuanyu and Hu Shenxian are coming over."
"Hu Yuanyu is coming. Aren't he and his father by Wansui's side? Is there any important news?" King Jing was surprised.
Xu Wei nodded solemnly.
