The eunuch who delivered the order came suddenly and left in a hurry. He disappeared into the hospital without giving Ren Hengtai and Zhai Shan a chance to ask.
Why!
Bang!
Two echoes came from the single ward of the high-end and quiet Taiyuan Hospital.
The sigh came from Zhai Shan, the official minister of the empire, who was lying on the hospital bed.
The clanging sound was made by Ren Hengtai, a newly promoted upstart in the empire who was appointed to the Wenyuan Pavilion, Grand Bachelor, and Minister.
When the eunuch who delivered the order disappeared from the ward, Ren Hengtai, the new rich man in the empire, went limp and fell to the ground with a sad face.
Ren Hengtai turned back to look at Zhai Shan who was sighing, and said with a sad face: "It's been a troubled time! It's been a troubled time! You must have noticed, I'm going to be blamed!"
"Ah..." Zhai Shan opened his mouth and let out an ah sound, his eyes moved, and he quickly sighed in embarrassment, and then said: "Yes, yes, yes!
The imperial court wants to reform and introduce new policies. At this time, entrusting you with important responsibilities is a matter of trust and a heavy burden. I understand that the government is sad..."
At the end of the sentence, Zhai Shan didn't even know what he was talking about. He only knew that it was time to cooperate with the newly promoted Mr. Ren in front of him to answer the question.
But there was deep envy hidden in Zhai Shan's eyes.
Ren Ge?
Ren Hengtai raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Zhai Shan, who had sat up on the hospital bed at some point, with a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He put his palms on the chair and slowly stood up, then turned and sat down.
He sighed deeply: "In terms of military formation, I am the vanguard. I will never come back. Your Majesty has said that Zhai Butang and Ru Butang are also loyal ministers of the country. This time I must be Zhai Butang. , Rubutang is just a pawn, trying to figure out the way forward for the New Deal."
I also want to endure such crying!
Zhai Shan's heart was full of tears, but his face still cooperated with Ren Hengtai all the time, showing sadness and worry.
"His Royal Highness recalled Gao Chunfeng to Beijing to report on his duties, which is to point his sword at the new policy and put his heart and mind into practice. Gao Chunfeng and others will work together as branches and leaves to work together on the reform.
】
The New Deal is coming. Ren Ge has been an official in the court for many years and has been the Minister of Ministry for many years. His Majesty issued an order today, making Ren Ge the head of the New Deal and in charge of innovation.
There are many constraints during this period, and it will take a long time to work hard if you want to be appointed to the cabinet. The country and the country are in front, and the common people in the world are behind. Renge should put his body first. All affairs in the capital are in the hands of one person in Renge. "
Zhai Shan spoke worriedly and considerately, but in his words he already had the idea of thanking guests behind closed doors.
At this time, the Minister of Civil Affairs just wanted to stay alone in this single ward of the Taiyuan Hospital that was full of weird smells.
Gao Chunfeng means Gao Yangzhi.
The youngest frontier official in the empire returned to Beijing today with a string of titles.
Ren Hengtai looked at Zhai Shan on the hospital bed indifferently, rolled up his robe and stood up: "The spring breeze has entered Beijing, the New Deal is fierce, what a flower group, rich and noble. Only Zhai Butang is leisurely here, away from the noise, and it is so charming. Extremely envious."
Change!
Let's change seats!
Zhai Shan roared in his heart, but his face was calm: "Ren Pavilion will go back early to rest. I'm afraid there will be some changes in the court tomorrow."
Ren Hengtai cupped his hands and said, "Zhai Budang is resting."
The two of them agreed tacitly at the same time, then went their separate ways, never looking at each other again.
Zhai Shan lay down and Ren Hengtai walked out of the single room, waving in his white coat and closing the door.
By the time the newly promoted imperial upstart walked out of the ward, the two burly medicine boys at the door, who could really serve as vanguards in the military formation, were already leaning against the corner, closing their eyes and falling asleep.
"Ren Ge?"
"Mr. Ren Ge..."
"Ren Ge Lao!"
Standing outside the door of the ward, Ren Hengtai muttered three times in a low voice. At the end, his two eyebrows were raised, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he raised his eyebrows: "Hey!"
This time, Ren Hengtai had forgotten to suppress it, and his voice became louder in vain.
"who!"
The medicine boy who was leaning against the corner to take a rest stood up with his eyes closed and drank in a low voice.
Ren Hengtai looked back, shook his clothes and robes, and quickly disappeared into the night.
…
Inside the imperial city, there is a temple on the left and a shrine on the right.
Gao Yangzhi, who was brought into the altar of society, did not get what he expected. Once he returned to Beijing, he could talk to the emperor's grandson about the new measures in officialdom over the years.
The grandson is going to the palace to report everything that happened in the city today.
At this moment, the foreign minister also entered the Meridian Gate unchanged.
Gao Yangzhi was led into the Sheji Altar by the eunuchs in the palace. Early on, a room facing the Sheji Altar was lit up.
After entering the room, Gao Yangzhi glanced around and saw that the bed, official robes, and toiletries were all ready. He turned around and looked at the eunuch and the two palace maids behind him who were obviously preparing to wash themselves.
"I'm sorry to bother you all. I have been in Jiaozhi for a long time and am used to washing and taking care of myself. Please go back."
This is a famous person in the palace, and his victory is grand.
When the eunuchs and maids saw Gao Yangzhi speaking so politely, they did not dare to insist on the rules. They bowed and left the room, closing the door behind them.
There was no one around for a moment.
Gao Yangzhi listened to the footsteps outside the house getting further and further away, and finally disappeared from his ears. Then he walked behind the window, pushed the window open, and propped up the pole.
Outside the window, in the hazy night, is the somewhat illusory outline of the Sheji Altar, standing majestically in the silence.
Looking at the Sheji Altar outside the window, this building that worships heaven and earth is constantly being enlarged and stretched in the high-rise boy's hole.
A silent earthquake occurred in Gao Yangzhi's body.
It wasn't until he was sweating profusely and his whole body was limp that he stretched out his hands and grasped the window sill tightly with sweat on his hands, then he let out a long breath.
Everyone in the court knew that he was the youngest and most promising frontier official in the Ming Dynasty. When he returned to Beijing to report on his work today, he clearly told everyone in the court that he, Gao Yangzhi, would become the vanguard and main force of the Ming Dynasty's reform.
But no one knew that Gao Yangzhi also had the identity of a secret guard.
It is hidden in the darkest place of the empire, hidden in the deepest place.
When he was officially canonized by the imperial court as the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi Road, a secret message came from Yingtian City in the capital.
All the foundations about him have been erased and will not be known to anyone.
This should have been a good thing. He could be the youngest official of the Ming Dynasty. However, Gao Yangzhi knew even more clearly that this was what bound him tightly to the secret guard's most secret files.
Throughout his life, he may remain the secret guard's biggest secret.
It was impossible for the emperor to allow himself to enter the palace and live in this altar after returning to Beijing.
All of this must have been done by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.
The word Sheji has many strokes.
However, what is more important is the heavy weight behind the word Sheji, which is so heavy that no one can breathe on their own.
All the preferential treatment and grace I have received today are for the sake of the word Sheji. And now that I am standing here, watching Sheji, it is more like a warning.
"At dawn tomorrow, we will enter Wenyuan Pavilion and then go to Huagai Hall to discuss government affairs."
At some point, Tian Mai appeared in the house, standing where the lights were blocked.
Gao Yangzhi breathed a sigh of relief again, and the last trace of worry in his heart completely disappeared.
He turned around and looked at Tian Mai, who was not illuminated by the lights, with a slight smile on his face: "The court is empty, why don't you fill the official vacancies first?"
Tian Mai's face was expressionless: "Uncle Gao Fang, this is a matter of state affairs, and it is not something I can speculate on. I will know when Uncle Fang enters the court tomorrow."
Gao Yangzhi was silent for a moment, quietly looking at Tian Mai standing in front of him, and sighed softly: "It turned out to be a little lively."
"Uncle Fang's files in the secret guard have been destroyed. This is His Highness's grace. From then on, Uncle Fang and my secret guard have nothing to do with each other, only the hierarchy in the court." Tian Mai answered calmly and indifferently as usual. With.
Gao Yangzhi also restrained his expression and said calmly: "Seriously?"
He chuckled.
Tian Mai raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Yangzhi, and whispered: "Ren Hengtai, the bachelor of Wenhua Palace and the Minister of Rites, has received an oral instruction from His Majesty earlier to join Wenyuan Pavilion on that day and manage the new administration. Wenyuan Pavilion... will be very busy in the future. Uncle Fang, please rest early and I will retire."
Tian Mai cupped his hands, said a few words in a somewhat erratic voice, and suddenly disappeared from Gao Yangzhi's eyes.
But he still said something he shouldn't have said after all.
A smile appeared on Gao Yangzhi's face, looking at the last place where Tian Mai stayed, he sighed again: "It's really difficult."
…
Even the next day.
Before dawn, the lights in the Sheji Altar were lit again.
After washing and dressing, Gao Yangzhi looked in the bronze mirror at the official robes prepared by the palace that fit perfectly with his figure. Under his calm eyes, there was some strange movement.
After leaving the Sheji Altar, Gao Yangzhi arrived in front of the Meridian Gate.
I thought I would be the first Gao Yangzhi, but I saw on the east side of the royal road, there was already a young official in green robe, leading two officials and carrying boxes of memorials to the palace. .
Gao Yangzhi did not recognize the young green-robed official, but Wang Xinling recognized the senior who was the most envied by the Xinxue disciples.
"The junior student pays homage to Senior Senior Gao."
Wang Xinling signaled the two officials from the General Affairs Office to continue carrying the memorial to Wenyuan Pavilion, while he waved his robe and stepped forward, bowing to Gao Yangzhi and saluting.
Gao Yangzhi's eyes turned, and he heard the other party's self-introduction. His eyes suddenly caught sight, and then Gao Yangzhi slowly said, "I... remember you. Back then, you always liked to go to Mr. Jie with Xiaobai to ask for advice."
A smile appeared on Wang Xinling's face, and he nodded and said: "Senior, I remember clearly. I have been away from you for many years. Every day, I heard about my senior's administrative actions in Jiaozhi Road, and my junior students admired me for a long time. Yesterday, I heard that my senior returned to Beijing, and I didn't know what to think about. I can see you sometimes, but I don’t want to see my senior right now.”
Gao Yangzhi was silent for a moment and then said: "We can get together more often in the future. Are you going to deliver the memorial to Wenyuan Pavilion? Let's go together."
As he spoke, Gao Yangzhi turned to gesture behind the Meridian Gate.
Wang Xinling nodded and followed Gao Yangzhi step by step, but his face showed the joy that he couldn't hide when he saw his idol in person.
The dim light before dawn reflected on the two of them.
Gao Yangzhi, who was walking in front, didn't want to speak, and Wang Xinling, who was following behind, didn't dare to speak.
The two of them passed through the Meridian Gate and went to the Third Hall without crossing the Inner Wulong Bridge. They turned eastward to the Zuoshun Gate and entered the Wenyuan Pavilion.
At this moment, in Wenyuan Pavilion, the servants in charge of the palace had finished sweeping the Wenyuan Pavilion and were retreating with their sweeping tools and bowed heads.
The maids brought incense burners and tea to each room, and also sent refreshments to the main hall for Xie Xueshi and others.
The two people who met in front of the Meridian Gate were led by Wang Xinling after passing Zuoshun Gate.
Wang Xinling led Gao Yangzhi into the main hall and to the inner room on the east side.
"Sir, Senior Senior Gao is here."
After entering Wenyuan Pavilion, Gao Yangzhi had been carefully looking at everything around him.
This was his first time walking here, but in his heart he felt for no reason that he would appear here for a long time to come.
At this moment, sitting on the couch by the window in the Wenyuan Pavilion, a few seats behind, was naturally Xie Jin, a member of the Wenhua Hall of the Ming Dynasty and a Hanlin scholar, who was also the teacher of the Xin Xue disciples in the world.
Opposite Xie Jin was Ren Hengtai, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace and Minister of Rites.
There was another young official wearing a green robe, standing next to Xie Jin.
Gao Yangzhi recognized the other person as Bai Yuxiu, whom he had just mentioned to Wang Xinling.
As Wang Xinling spoke, the three people in Wenyuan Pavilion raised or turned their heads at the same time to look at Gao Yangzhi who walked in behind him.
A look of relief appeared on Xie Jin's face.
Bai Yuxiu's eyes glowed with the brilliance of meeting her idol.
Ren Hengtai, who turned his head, left the couch, and with his wide sleeves, he waved in the air toward where he was.
"I have heard for a long time that the youngest Fang Bo in our dynasty is finally meeting today. I just feel that our dynasty should have more talented ministers like this!"
Ren Hengtai's face was full of smiles, trying to give people a spring breeze. His posture when speaking clearly meant that he wanted to give up his original position to Gao Yangzhi.
Gao Yangzhi had a subtle smile on his face, bowed his hands and saluted Ren Hengtai, and then saluted Xie Jin.
"I have met Mr. Ren Ge."
"Students meet sir."
After two words with completely different meanings, Gao Yangzhi raised his head, his posture still very low: "Ren Ge has been an official for many years, and he is the first imperial examination senior in our dynasty to be awarded the No. 1 Scholar Memorial Arch. Now he has joined Wenyuan Pavilion. Your Excellency." It has only been a few years since I first entered the officialdom, and I am afraid of making mistakes every day. In the future, I hope that the elders will not hesitate to give me advice and corrections."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yangzhi cupped his hands towards Bai Yuxiu and said, "Please bring a stool."
Ren Hengtai's eyes flickered twice, looking at the young upstart of the empire in front of him, the youngest feudal official, such a straightforward refusal, and his willingness to give in, and he was filled with emotion in his heart.
He couldn't help but look sideways at Jie Jin.
Xie Jin still had the same posture of sitting as firm as a mountain, with a smile on his face that looked like something from the Imperial Academy.
Ren Hengtai knew very well that he was chosen by the emperor to be the head of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he was the first court official to join Wenyuan Pavilion as a bachelor and minister. It was obviously for him to lead the court.
Although Xie Jin was not a bachelor or a minister, he had entered the Wenyuan Pavilion earlier than him, and had gained the respect of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. Now he had a frontier official who had made great contributions from Jiaozhi Road and returned. It is impossible for Wenyuan Pavilion to act alone.
It's just that today's opening meeting went very smoothly. There was no ambiguity, and the other party even took the initiative to give in.
The worries in Ren Hengtai's heart became less.
At this time, Bai Yuxiu had already brought a stool.
I don't know whether he did it intentionally or not, but the stool was placed closer to Xie Jin.
Gao Yangzhi didn't say anything, just looked at these junior students with a smile on his face, and then sat down.
At this time, Xie Jin spoke: "Yesterday, Your Majesty told me that in the future, the notes in the court will be drafted by me in Wenyuan Pavilion first, and then sent to the palace. Today, we will draft them first, and wait for the officials from outside to come in. Palace, and then take it to the Huagai Palace. What does Mr. Ren Ge think?"
Ren Hengtai also sat back on the couch at this time. He looked at Xie Jin in front of him and then at Gao Yangzhi who was lying on the fallen stool. He smiled and said: "As the bachelor said, this is all right. I still have to be tired of the spring breeze. I entered Beijing yesterday. , we will vote together today."
Gao Yangzhi bowed his hands and took a stack of memorials from Bai Yuxiu's hand: "Fortunate for the younger generation."
