Xia Xun arrived at the gate of the palace, and several officials came out, and they were taking a look at each other.
Seeing Xia Xun at a glance, Xie Jin was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly greeted him: "Xiaguan Hanlin is waiting for Xie Jin, and he has seen the Duke of Fuguo." ” "Xie Jin" Xia Xun couldn't help laughing when he saw that it was him.
Xie Jin already knew that Xia Xun was speaking for him in front of King Yan, and asked for him to write the great fortune of Dengji Edict and other famous opportunities in history.
Next, Xia Xun was appointed as the assistant prince, but he did not have his own Guogong Mansion, and he had been fighting guerrillas everywhere in the past few days, and he had no chance to visit.
Xia Xun stopped, called his cousin, and said affectionately: "Haha, big gentleman, when I say that you will have to have hardships and be happy, how?"
Xie Jin said gratefully: "In the past, thanks to the guidance and encouragement of Guogong, otherwise the students would have been disheartened and would have been ghosts at the bottom of the Qinhuai River. ” Li Guan and the others watched from behind, shocked and envious, they didn't know that Xie Jin actually knew such a big person, and the grandfather of the country actually called Xie Jin's expression and was so affectionate with him.
Xia Xun smiled and groaned, and just wanted to take the sentence he said at the beginning: "I see that your heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, your bones are strange, and your spiritual roots are very good, and you will say that your future must be limitless, and you can't be a great minister" to ridicule a few more words, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly swallowed back.
It is precisely because he clearly knows that Xie Jin's future is indeed limitless, so he absolutely can't say this.
If these words were said, Xie Jinlai would never think of his uncertain prophet, and his only thought would be to make peace with him and speak for him in front of the emperor.
If he Xia Xun says a word in front of the emperor, he can pick up one as the first assistant of the court, is this a good thing Emperor Yongle is a very strong boss, once this kind of news spreads in the court, it is not a good thing, but a disaster.
As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, Xia Xun is now in a prominent position, and someone pays attention to every move, so he can't be cautious when he speaks.
He snorted and said, "Okay, the emperor summoned me, so I won't say anything more to you, but let's get close again."
"You can't say anything about pretending to be a ghost, but this future head of the dynasty, you should be close or close, Xie Jinyi heard that Grandpa Guo was so polite, and said flatteredly: "Yes, yes, Grandpa Guo is busy first." ” The sentence that changed to be close and close to him was automatically ignored by him, Grandpa Guo said that he was polite to him, he was a small nine-grade edict, why should he be close to the first-class duke, and he knew that he was close to the first-class duke, and he couldn't help but know how to advance and retreat.
Xia Xun smiled, and when he looked up, he saw Hu Jing, Li Guan, and Gao Yong, the three of them were staring at each other, and when they saw the Duke of Fu Guo looking at them, they hurriedly arched and said: "Xia Guan has seen Grandpa Guo" Xia Xun smiled, waved his hand and said, "The three of you don't need to be polite" and walked towards the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Li Guan and the three of them immediately surrounded Xie Jin, and exclaimed enviously: "Brother Squire, you actually recognize the great face of Lord Fuguo, when did you make a friendship?"
Xie Jin was triumphant, and boasted as he walked: "Well, it's a long story."
It is said that back then, Jianwen Yuan, oh, when Hongwu was thirty-two years old" When Xia Xun entered the palace, Ji Gang and Liu Yujue had already left, and Emperor Yongle was dining.
Zhu Di, like his father, is more picky, and eats and dresses more frugally.
When Jianwen, according to the Zhou etiquette, there are regulations on how many plates and bowls to put when eating, eating six grains of rice, millet, millet, sorghum, wheat, mushrooms, drinking six clear water, pulp, liquor, fermentation, cool, and selves, eating six cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, geese, fish, one hundred and twenty kinds of precious dishes, one hundred and twenty urns of sauces, and there are eight hundred and eighty-four beauties, that is, six beauties in eight rows and eight columns singing and dancing, and there must be ceremonial music, playing elegant imperial court music, etc., Zhu Di didn't know when he ate on the first day, the imperial dining room still ate according to the old rules, Zhu Di looked at the cups and plates in the hall, and he was very distressed, and the next day he was cut to only a table with a few dishes.
Xia Xun went directly to the food palace, Mu En reported in, Zhu Di heard that he had arrived, so he said: "Announce him in" Xia Xun went in to see the driver, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, when I eat, I don't need any etiquette." ” He said that Xia Xun still saluted respectfully, Zhu Di held a steamed bun in his hand and pointed to the side: "Sit, let's eat together" When the emperor gives a meal, he usually has to set an empty table, which is the rule, because the emperor can give food, and the person who receives it can be the queen, concubine, emperor's children or favored ministers, and when the emperor gives the meal, he does not make another one, but takes a few dishes from the emperor's table, and lets the person eat and eat with the Son of Heaven to show his favor, and this favor is not allowed to be thanked.
Xia Xun hurriedly thanked him, sat down behind the table in a regular manner, Mu En personally took a few little eunuchs, took a few dishes from Zhu Di's table, plus two white-flour steamed buns and brought them to him, Xia Xun thanked him again, and then ate very delicately.
Accompany the emperor to eat, can you really eat as a meal?
Zhu Di glanced at him, snorted angrily, took a bite of the steamed bun, and then took the steamed bun and nodded at Xia Xun and said: "You, you will pretend to be in front of me, since you are told to eat, you can eat when you want, and do something like an angry little daughter-in-law."
Xia Xun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this place is not as good as the army, the rules are big, and the ministers are panicking unconsciously." ” Zhu Di laughed when he heard it, in fact, although Xia Xun had not feasted with the emperor before, he had been walking in the palace for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, he had seen three generations of emperors, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, the old man's aura was very powerful, although he was an old man, every gesture and even a look made people have great coercion, Xia Xun could mix in front of him for so long, how could he not afford such a scene.
However, you have to pretend to be on the occasion and know how to advance and retreat.
Don't look at the emperor who said that he was cowardly, but seeing him so well-behaved, he was actually happy in his heart.
The ancients said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, but it is not necessarily that the emperor is as fierce as a wolf or a tiger, but this sentence is true.
I've been with someone for a long time, and when there is no conflict, it's just ordinary friends, even if you two do it, it's not a big deal, and after a while, the anger will disappear, maybe you'll get back together.
But the power in the hands of the emperor is too great, when you make him unhappy, his words are enough to decide your life and death, and the emperor is surrounded by too many power groups, if someone takes advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, you don't even have a chance to get back together with the emperor.
Therefore, the higher the status, the more cautious he has to behave in dealing with people, Xia Xun has been warning himself since the moment he was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, and he has begun to pay attention to the way of being an official in the future.
The emperor is high, the height is unbearable, the so-called lonely family is like this, even if the table is full of delicacies, only you eat there alone, it is cold enough, Zhu Yunwen is the emperor's grandson, he has been like this since he was a child, he is used to it, Zhu Di is different, he has been very awkward in the past two days of eating, and now there is finally someone to eat and chat with him, his interest is also high, the two of them have talked and laughed, which made Zhu Di have a great appetite, ate three choked noodles and big steamed buns in one meal, and drank a big bowl of soup, and then put down the chopsticks with satisfaction, asked Xia Xun to accompany him and walk to the imperial study.
After the two of them entered the imperial study, the waiter took tea and retreated, and only the two of them were left in the palace, Zhu Di's expression became solemn: "Wenxuan, you are still young, it is the time when you are in the prime of life, you have to share some things for me, and now is not the time for you to enjoy Qingfu." ” Xia Xun just picked up the tea, hurriedly put it back, got up and said, "Your Majesty, please command." ” Zhu Di glared at him, waved his hand to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "That incident, has it been settled?"
Xia Xun said: "Your Majesty, the minister is good on the surface, but he is just for people to see, and the minister has not been busy with anything else in the past few days, and has been worrying about this matter."
Judging from the information that the minister has now, I am afraid that that person has indeed escaped."
Zhu Di was a little distracted, and said leisurely after a while: "It is said that I am decisive in killing, but I am not as good as him to the enemy, I Zhu Di did not hesitate to raise the butcher knife, but for his wife and children, hum I want Zhu Di to abandon his wife and children, and escape alone, I can't do it."
The emperor's family affairs, outsiders still don't want to beak it, Xia Xun didn't answer this, but continued: "The minister has sent a few people to secretly arrest him, and the one who arranged for him to escape should be Jinyi Weiyuan's commander Luo Ke's enemy, the minister has worked with this person, Luo Ke's enemy is resourceful, and he has arranged this matter well, and at present, the people under the minister have not found any useful clues." ” Zhu Di nodded and said: "Even if he escapes, it will be a trouble after all, this matter cannot be relaxed, you must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death, no matter how long it takes, you have to keep checking for me, be sure to find out clearly."
"Yes" Zhu Di thought for a while, put down the teacup, lightly beat his chest, and said: "People's hearts, people's hearts, the reason why I am so cautious is not because I am afraid of him, he used to be high and has the whole world, and he is not my opponent, even if he appears anywhere now, what kind of storm can he set off and overthrow my world."
Zhu Di smiled contemptuously: "In the past, he couldn't do it now, and he couldn't do it in the future, what kind of thing is he, why am I afraid, what am I afraid of, do you know?"
Xia Xun was stunned at first, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood.
His waist stood up unconsciously, with a solemn expression, with sincerity, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, understood" To be continued:
