"Since life in Taibao is boring, I told Taibao to go out and see the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was tempted, he still had some concerns about his identity, so I thought that after returning to Beijing, I would tell His Majesty Some, let His Majesty also advise the Taibao." biquge.biz
"Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles..."
After Cao Jixiang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Youzhen and asked, "Do you think His Majesty will agree?"
Xu Youzhen nodded: "It's good to go out and have a look, but no matter what Taibao Yu says, he is too old. If you say it, it will only embarrass His Majesty. This kind of thing can only be brought up by Taibao Yu himself. It’s more appropriate.”
Cao Jixiang understood Xu Youzhen's words and also knew that his idea was somewhat unreasonable.
But when he saw that Yu Qian, who had worked hard for the country all his life and never gave up on strict demands on himself, was still trapped in confinement and under etiquette in his later years, he couldn't bear it.
"Furthermore, as far as I know, Yu Taibao has already written to His Majesty himself about the situation, and His Majesty sent the eldest son of the Huichang Houfu family to lead people to protect him."
After hearing this, Cao Jixiang hurriedly asked: "Are you sure?"
Xu Youzhen chuckled: "Sure."
After hearing this, Cao Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what he said to Yu Qian had indeed touched on his weakness.
Cao Jixiang picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said: "Censor of Xudu, do you still look at the stars often during this time?"
"No, I haven't seen it for a long time."
When Cao Jixiang was about to say more, the man who went out to get the food had already returned.
Then Xu Youzhen took Cao Jixiang to have dinner.
Cao Jixiang has indeed been running all the way and hasn't eaten yet.
Let him have a bowl of rice first, and then the two of them started drinking.
When eating dishes, Cao Jixiang always felt something was wrong. Why did these dishes have a taste that was not part of the ingredients themselves, and they were all the same taste...
Wait until Cao Jixiang has almost eaten.
The two of them started drinking. During this period, they got excited about each other and put their arms around each other. They were so happy...
Cao Jixiang also told Xu Youzhen all the interesting stories about his trip to the sea. When Xu Youzhen heard that the sea is round, maybe our Ming Dynasty is on the same ball.
Xu Youzhen just kept laughing. Although he didn't refute in his mouth, he didn't believe it in his heart. If the Ming Dynasty was round and polar opposites, wouldn't it be an advanced insight beyond the times, rather than an ignorant and stupid idea.
However, Xu Youzhen did have some interest in the New World that Cao Jixiang mentioned.
On the other side of the distant sea, there is a huge and vast land...
Under the influence of alcohol, the two people gradually forgot the time. After midnight, they lit a brazier and drank until dawn.
Autumn has been here for a long time now, and at night, the chill comes down, making people feel chilly and excited.
At this time, Zhan Yang was still waiting at the back door. The roof of the carriage was already covered with white frost, and Zhan Yang in the carriage was also shivering.
His groom also squatted beside Zhan Yang and fell asleep, but the groom was a young man with a strong temper and could not feel much cold.
But Zhan Yang is a half-hundred-year-old man, and his anger has long been exhausted.
The servant guarding the back door of Xu Mansion kept going back and forth to tell Zhan Yang about the situation of Xu Du's censor.
When it was past midnight, the servants began to advise Zhan Yang. The censor of Xudu was drinking with the people in the palace. He didn't know when he would finish drinking. Why don't you go back and rest first, Master Zhan.
But Zhan Yang is stubborn as hell and will never leave...
Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang originally wanted to drink less and chat more, but after drinking, they lost control.
Both of them were very drunk.
I just lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang fell asleep.
The servants didn't dare to wake him up.
They woke up to dawn.
Outside, Zhan Yang, a civil servant, froze to death all night...
But the long wait finally paid off.
After Cao Jixiang left, Zhan Yang met Xu Youzhen.
Zhan Yang learned from Xu Youzhende what was going on when His Majesty the Emperor sent his son-in-law to Qiantang, and he breathed a sigh of relief...
Afterwards, the two of them went into the palace together to attend the court meeting. Although they had slept for a while last night, Xu Youzhen still felt unusually tired.
And Zhan Yang couldn't stop sneezing and sneezed out. He was really freezing.
Because he kept sneezing, Zhan Yang didn't close his eyes all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Xu Youzhen saw Zhan Yang sneezing continuously, and kindly reminded him: "Master Zhan, why don't you go back and rest first? You are so easy to be rude to me."
Zhan Yang waited for Xu Youzhen at the back door all night, which made Xu Youzhen feel a little bit regretful, thinking about making it up to him some other time.
After listening to Xu Youzhen's words, Zhan Yang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Censor of Xudu, could it be that you have underestimated me, Zhan? I am a man who studied in the Spring and Autumn Period. A small sneeze is not something that can be easily controlled. I want to control it." When it happens, you can control it immediately.”
Because his own spirit was somewhat sluggish, coupled with Zhan Yang's mysterious self-confidence, Xu Youzhen did not persuade him.
Then the voice of Honglu Temple calling Jin came over.
The officials began to prepare in shifts, and then began to enter the Fengtian Hall.
After the queue is completed.
Zhu Jianshen took Zhang Bao into Fengtian Hall.
After all the officials saluted.
Zhang Bao then read out the imperial edict.
Shi Heng acted recklessly in the army and did not listen to advice, which almost led to bad consequences. After his nephew Shi Biao, Marquis of Liaoping, tried hard to persuade him to no avail, he killed his relatives and abolished the title of Marquis Wuyang. Because Shi Heng had previously guarded the capital and pacified the Jurchens, he was tired. If they have military exploits, their family members will be treated liberally and will not be severely punished.
After the decree was read out, the entire Fengtian Palace was in an uproar.
Then, with Zhang Bao's reminder, the officials began to quiet down.
Just when Zhang Bao was satisfied with his results in maintaining order.
"A sneeze."
"A sneeze."
"A sneeze."
Someone in the civil service line sneezed three times in a row.
Zhang Bao turned his head and saw Zhan Yang in the middle of the third row.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been sitting on the dragon throne, also looked at Zhan Yang.
Zhan Yang also noticed the gazes of so many people and lowered his head in embarrassment.
After lowering his head, Zhan Yang sneezed uncontrollably again.
The snot fell on Jiang Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in front, but Jiang Yuan had no idea about it.
At this time, Zhan Yang knew that if he persisted, there would be no way for the court meeting to proceed.
Immediately, he stepped out of the queue, covered his mouth and nose and said: "Your Majesty, I caught a cold last night. I really can't hold on. Why don't I leave first?"
Zhu Jianshen nodded: "Then Minister Zhan, please step aside first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhan Yang sneezed again as he spoke, and then trotted away from Fengtian Hall without caring about the dignity of many scholars.
Zhan Yang who left the Fengtian Palace felt extremely regretful.
This man is in great disgrace.
The emergence of this episode gave many officials more time to figure out the emperor's will.
After Zhu Jianshen watched Zhan Yang leave, he looked at Xu Youzhen.
Originally, he would be waiting for his signal because Xu Youzhen.
I didn't expect that I was in a bad state, and I didn't even notice the look in my eyes.
The first thought is that this guy's brother must have been busy last night, otherwise how could he be like this...
