Early the next morning, today was a holiday for the imperial court. After Xu He got up, accompanied by Xu Peng, he first visited Brother Defu's home.
When he was in Hailing, he always talked about the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Dali Temple. This was the first time he met Xie Daozhi.
When he arrived at the door and handed over his name card, the disciple had already received the news and quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, our young master has already told me that when you come in the future, you don't need to notify me, just go directly to the house to look for him."
That being said, someone still needs to inform Xie Daozhi when meeting him. After all, the wives and concubines of the temple minister are all in the backyard. I am so reckless...
Xu He had just waited for a while when two people walked out of the backyard. One of them was Xie Liangcai, followed by a middle-aged man. When he saw Xu He, he was no longer as happy as before, and he was as honest as a good baby.
The middle-aged man has thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, a tall figure, and his appearance, to use the words of later generations to describe it, he is a middle-aged handsome uncle.
Xie Liangcai's features look a bit like this middle-aged man, but with such a mix of genes, he looks like him, but he's not even as handsome.
But no introduction is needed, this is Xie Daozhi who didn’t run away.
Xu He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Junior, pay homage to uncle!"
Xie Daozhi said with a smile: "Our Xie family in Yiling has already connected with your mother's Xie family. It's not appropriate for you to call me uncle. You should call me uncle!"
When Chang Sui, who was waiting at the door, heard this, he raised his lowered eyelids and looked at Xu He, but a huge storm surged in his heart.
This lord of my family always looks lukewarm to everyone. Even when the young master came, he didn't give him any smile last night. Instead, he criticized him for wandering in the countryside and made him kneel for an hour.
But this person in front of me...
When they first met, Master Si Qing actually asked him to change his title.
This uncle-turned-uncle sounds like he is far away, but in fact...
When Xu He heard this, he quickly knelt down and saluted solemnly: "Uncle!"
Xie Daozhi helped him up with his own hands and said with a smile: "Your cousin, in my opinion, it is impossible to study, but since I followed you to learn crafts, my writing has improved a lot. This time he was able to pass the exam, which is a brilliant achievement." Appreciate your contribution!"
When Xu He heard this, he didn't dare to agree and said quickly: "Uncle, my cousin and I study together. We learn from each other and I learn a lot from my cousin!"
When Xie Liang heard this, he finally raised his head and blinked at Xu He.
Xie Daozhi just smiled when he heard this, then turned and entered the flower hall.
After the three of them sat down, Xie Daozhi asked, "Does Liangsheng live in his hometown in Ge?"
"yes!"
"Although Huayuan Hutong is nice, it is too noisy and there are many officials coming and going. If you don't mind, you can move to my place and prepare for the test together with your cousin!"
Xu He had already made a plan in his mind, and he quickly said: "Because I brought some followers, it is not convenient after all, so I won't disturb my uncle. I will go out and rent a yard in two days!"
When Xie Liangcai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he blinked desperately at Xu He.
At this time, a disciple of the Xie family came to report that an official was visiting.
Xu He's purpose of meeting the boss was achieved, so he stood up and said, "Uncle, nephew, I'll take my leave first!"
Xie Daozhi really didn't want Xu He to leave. He also had many things to ask Xu He, but he heard that Xu He had an appointment with Feng's family at noon, so he nodded and said, "In that case, come back in a few days. But it’s loud!”
"Uncle, please tell me!"
"Fengfang has been in a bit of an awkward situation recently. Just go and sit down, don't..." Xie Daozhi frowned, not knowing what to say, and finally said, "Don't agree to anything casually!"
Xu He's heart moved, so he stood up and bowed before saying goodbye.
He had barely taken two steps when he received a heavy blow on his back.
Xu He didn't even need to turn around and said: "Cousin, if you are so rude, I will go back and tell your uncle!"
"Hiss..." Xie Liangcai's arrogance was immediately extinguished.
"You pretended not to see the wink I gave you just now? Liangsheng, you have changed. It has only been a long time since you came to Beijing, and you have become disgusting!"
Damn, you slut brother, if you don’t know better, you’d think you’re a resentful woman!
"I don't care, I'm going to move in with you!"
Xu He said helplessly: "Isn't your father going to kill you?"
"I said I would study with you!"
"..."
"Let me tell you some news. Yesterday, I heard my father say that Fengfang is in a bad situation at Qin Yan's place recently..."
It turns out that it has been almost two years since Fengfang came to Beijing. The last time the Taipusi Minister was transferred, he thought it would be his turn, but who would have thought that his position would be taken by someone else in the end.
He was unconvinced after thinking about it, so he went to Qin Que several times, but Qin Que found out after contacting Fengfang that this man was quite talented but had no political acumen at all.
In many things, even if he clearly agreed with Fengfang, in the end Fengfang couldn't understand what he meant.
Qin Que naturally had no patience for [foolish people], and would not try to support him. So this time when Taipu Siqing was vacant, he did not consider Fengfang at all, but directly recommended another person to his father Qin Yan. .
Afterwards, Fengfang came to see him. He complained and scolded the cabinet, saying that they were short-sighted.
In fact, what does this have to do with the cabinet?
It was all handled by his little boss.
Fengfang's scolding was like scolding Qin Que.
Qin Que was annoyed and asked people to drive Fengfang out.
Fengfang asked to see him several times, but the Qin family and his son refused to meet.
Although Fengfang has no political acumen, he still knows where he comes from.
If the Qin family doesn't want to see him, then even his position as Shao Qing, let alone Tai Pu Si Qing, might not be secure.
Ever since, his sexy tricks came again.
Still not learning the previous lesson, he started writing poems to praise Emperor Zhizheng again.
After Emperor Zhengzheng read it, he sent back his poems and asked the eunuch who delivered the letter to say: "You eat the wealth of the people, don't write flattering poems!"
This incident suddenly spread to the whole court, and the censors who had long disliked Fengfang gathered together to attack again.
Fengfang's position can now be said to be shaky.
Xu He's head got bigger when he heard this.
this……
In his view, a person like Fengfang would have a great future if he devoted his life to learning. However, he is a fan of officials and does not have the basic ability to be an official. This is the fundamental reason for his current predicament.
Moreover, this person was unrepentant, and his path as emperor and chief minister was dead. It seemed that asking him to come to the palace was a lie. The real purpose was to think of Xu Song, who was now the second minister.
Thinking of meeting Fengfang soon, Xu He was really reluctant, but in fact, if he had said he didn't want to go last night, Xu Song would have turned him down for him.
but……
Xu He thought of the girl wearing a goose-yellow palace skirt.
And after he said at the dock that day, "At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, only half of my close friends are scattered," he still held back his words!
