Li Feiyue looked at Jiang Chuhan's departing back, a fierce appearance was suddenly revealed, clenching his teeth, and a cold aura suddenly appeared in Li Feiyue's heart."
I'll let you jump for two days first, and when the time comes, I don't know how you died!"
Li Feiyue thought secretly, and a trace of killing intent suddenly burst out of Li Feiyue's pupils.After Jiang Chuhan stepped into the carriage, he walked straight in the direction of the palace.Jiang Chuhan is going to Zhongshu Province, that is, to report to the cabinet about the relevant reception measures for the visit of the envoys of the Houjin Kingdom, and the first assistant of the current dynasty, Dazai Wen Tiren, is the only person who leads Zhongshu Province, so Jiang Chuhan's trip can be regarded as looking for Wen Tiren.In fact, Jiang Chuhan didn't want to have anything to do with this Wen Shoufu at all, who let this Wen Shoufu follow him three times and twice, not to mention, he was nominally a person from the Luo Yang faction, and he was not a person who went all the way with Wen Tiren, which was also a reason why Jiang Chuhan didn't want to contact Wen Tiren.It's just that there are unpredictable storms in the sky, and the moon is cloudy and sunny.After standing at the gate of the palace, looking at the majestic and tall palace, Jiang Chuhan suddenly had a dazzled feeling, and it was only at this time that Jiang Chuhan remembered that he didn't seem to know the way to Zhongshu Province at all!
Looking at the intricate path in front of him, Jiang Chuhan didn't know what to do.The public housing of Zhongshu Province is set up in the palace, one is to facilitate the travel of hundreds of officials, and the other is to facilitate the initiation, reporting, and decision-making of the saints.However, Jiang Chuhan had never been to Zhongshu Province, so how long would he go to wander around in such a big imperial city?
At this time, behind Jiang Chuhan, a person suddenly walked slowly.I saw that the person was also wearing an official robe, Jiang Chuhan just glanced at it, but he didn't know it, however, in order to be able to go to Zhongshu Province smoothly, Jiang Chuhan still hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This lord, this official is Jiang Chuhan, the young master of Honglu Temple, I don't know how to go to Zhongshu Province, and I bother this adult to tell me?"
”The official looked up and down, and suddenly smiled and said, "It turned out to be Jiang Shaoqing, please come with me, it just so happens that I am also going to Zhongshu Province." ”After walking a distance, Jiang Chuhan smiled at the official who led the way: "Haven't you asked your Excellency Taifu yet?"
”"What an adult is not a big person, we are all Shaoqing, and we are commensurate with brothers."
The official was about fifty years old, not tall, and his face was fair, but his eyes were bright, which made people feel very kind.smiled: "My name is Song Yingxing, the word is Chang Geng, and I am a native of Jiangxi." ”"Oh?"
Jiang Chuhan was surprised: "You are Song Changgeng and Song Hanlin, who have heavenly creations?"
”Song Changgeng is a famous inventor and skilled craftsman in the Ming Dynasty, who commands the Hanlin Academy, and Jiang Chuhan has naturally seen this name in textbooks in later generations, so when he heard it, he was taken aback.Hearing this title, Song Yingxing almost fell to the ground without a fall, and said with a wry smile: "See it, it's funny!"
The young secretary of the Hanlin Academy is insignificant. ”It's no wonder that Song Yingxing made a fuss, although on the surface, the difference between the Hanlin Academy and the Hanlin Academy is only two words, but there is a world of difference.Hanlin is the forest of Han, meaning Yuyuan, in fact, as an adviser to the emperor, many prime ministers are selected from the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, after the reform of Wanli, the Hanlin Chengzhi and the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy became official officials, is the third product, and does not hold other official positions, specializing in drafting the internal system, such as the title of the knowledge system.However, compared with the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Academy can be said to be raised by the mother, the Hanlin Academy is the place where the scholars of heaven, medicine, calligraphy, chess, painting and other miscellaneous studies work, the status of officials is extremely low, and it is rejected by scholars and doctors who are born on the right path.The officials of the Hallym Academy could only wear green robes, not vermilion.It is strictly forbidden to wear gold and silver fish bags that show the status of officials.According to the imperial court system, officials are promoted to one level in three years, and military positions are promoted to one level in five years, but the officials of the Hanlin Academy are moved every ten years, and it is stipulated that the officials of the Hanlin Academy are not allowed to be transferred to the office.Song Yingxing was put into this kind of place, which was equivalent to entering the grave of an official.The Ming Dynasty did not allow the folk to practice the doctrine of heaven, geography and other theories, through these mysterious affairs as the topic, a Jiangxi person and a Ying Tian people, actually surged up the feeling of meeting the old acquaintance in a foreign land, quite a bit of sympathy for each other, when the line to the courtyard where the province is located, it has been like a friend for many years.I only heard Song Yingxing pointing to the Yidian and said, "This is where the cabinet scholars work," and pointed to the side halls on both sides: "That's where the adults sleep." ”Looking at the low side hall, Jiang Chuhan said in disbelief: "The elders of Zhongshu Province are sleeping here?"
”"Yes," seeing the incredulity of his face, Song Yingxing smiled bitterly: "Zhongshu Province is low-lying and narrow, and they are all east and west rooms, exposed to the sun in summer and cold in winter. ”said with a smile and said: "I'm joking, according to the elders, this is still the emperor's grace."
It is said that the ministers came with the summons, day or night, and began to retreat, all as if it were commonplace, which made the scholars miserable.Later, the Holy Lord was merciful and ordered the left and right wings of the Yi Hall to be turned into a duty house, and gave the ministers on duty to live and work, so that the adults were spared the pain of running for their lives. ”"But Shousuke doesn't live here."
Song Yingxing pointed to a small courtyard in the distance, and said with no envy: "The Holy Lord has mercy on Wen Shoufu and ordered someone to build him a residence over there, although it is not big, but the five rooms are complete, and the halls are all south-facing, so Wen Shoufu doesn't have to suffer here." ”The five rooms refer to the kitchen, study, bedroom, bath and thatched room, which represent the basic living facilities."
Oh!"
Jiang Chuhan nodded and followed him into the main hall.After entering, I found that the huge palace was divided into several single rooms, and the largest one was naturally Wen Shoufu's room.Song Yingxing asked Jiang Chuhan to wait, and he went in to report for Jiang Chuhan, and after a while, he opened the door curtain and said, "Jiang Shaoqing, Shoufu invites you to come in." ”Jiang Chuhan dressed up, went in with vigor, and paid a big salute to Wen Shoufu, Wen Tiren, who was old and long-looking, actually stood up with his hands on the table, and personally helped Jiang Chuhan up and said, "Why should Jiang Shaoqing be polite?
The old man doesn't like to see outsiders. ”Another voice sounded in the room and said, "That's it, everyone is their own people, Jiang Shaoqing doesn't have to be polite." ”Jiang Chuhan looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing a three-grade suit, who was as fat as a rich man, but with a lingering gloom and ruthlessness between his eyebrows, was helping Wen Tiren to talk to him.guessed the identity of the other party, but Jiang Chuhan still arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask my lord?"
”"I'm Wen Zhengtao."
The fat man said with a smile: "Call me Brother Zhengtao, just don't call me Lord Wen, if you call it, you will be divided." ”"It's better to call Zhengtao Gong," Jiang Chuhan has not been in Beijing for a day or two, and he has long heard of this guy's reputation, so he naturally doesn't dare to make it big."
It's all right, no."
Wen Zhengtao helped Wen Tiren sit down, and said with a smile: "Although we are meeting for the first time, we have been friends for a long time.The things Jiang Shaoqing did in Jiangnan can also be said to be singing and crying, a few days ago, I was persuaded to retreat in front of many chaotic people, so my father and I have long wanted to meet you and thank you personally. ”Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wen Zhengtao's gourd, Jiang Chuhan hurriedly said a few words of humility and said that he didn't do anything.In the room of Dazai of Yidian Zhongshu Province, Wen Zhengtao unexpectedly showed an expression of Corporal Lixian, picked up a finely carved rosewood box from the table, and sent it to Jiang Chuhan with both hands."
Sit down."
Wen Zhengtao greeted Jiang Chuhan affectionately, and sat down on a chair cushioned with rosewood.He himself sat down beside Jiang Chuhan, opened the big box, and the bottom was cushioned with red velvet, and the whole set of four treasures of the house was neatly placed, which was not ordinary at first glance.Seeing Jiang Chuhan looking at this set of things without a moment's notice, Wen Zhengtao smiled and said, "Dad and I have been thinking about backing up gifts for you, the gold and silver treasures are too vulgar, and the beautiful courtesans are probably not very suitable, but it took a lot of effort to find these treasures from everywhere and make up a suite of four treasures." ”As he spoke, he picked up the dark yellow inkstone and said, "This mud, let's see whose money it is?"
”Jiang Chuhan took it with both hands.I looked at the inscription above.couldn't help but snort softly: "Su Dongpo?
”"That's it."
Wen Zhengtao pointed to the side of the ink and said: "The ink is Li Tinggui's, and it has the payment of the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now the daughter is not changed." ”He pointed to the rice paper and said, "This stack of ribbed gold sprinkled with gold is used by the Holy Emperor today, and each one has his seal."
Finally, he picked up the brush, Jiang Chuhan took a look, but saw that the pen shaft was carved with gold, decorated with the wall, decorated with beads, with Pei Cui, Guan Fei Rhino, and must be made of ivory, which was extremely gorgeous, and only Wen Zhengtao said: "This set of Han pens may be Cai Ji's, but the age is too far away, only Jiang Shaoqing himself went to verify it." ”As he spoke, he closed the lid.Pushed in front of Jiang Chuhan and said, "How can you be worthy of our Lord Jiang, right?"
”Jiang Chuhan smiled bitterly: "It is too luxurious to write with the four treasures of this suite. ”"Who told you to write it?"
Wen Zhengtao scolded with a smile and said, "Keep it for generations." ”"Such a valuable thing is unbearable."
Jiang Chuhan shook his head and pushed back.Wen Zhengtao glared and said, "What I gave you, you accept." ”Jiang Chuhan still hesitated, and Wen Zhengtao looked displeased: "Could it be that my brother looks down on me?"
”Jiang Chuhan had no choice but to take the sandalwood box with both hands and thank Wen Zhengtao and Wen Tiren again.At this time, Wen Shoufu, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, opened his eyes and said kindly: "After serving as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, be diligent with your hands and feet, listen more, watch more and ask more, and you will always benefit from the poor." ”
