Jinyi Night Walk

With a faint sneer on Xia Xun's lips, he followed Luo Kedi and left the palace. When he reached the corner of the hall, he turned his head and vaguely saw a young man in his early teens who was as thin as a little cockroach. Holding a whisk in his hand, the little housekeeper ran towards him on tiptoe, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and said worriedly: "Oh, brother Yang, why did you come here?"

Xia Xun shook his head violently, turned around and walked out without looking back.

"Yang Xu, go back and get ready first, arrange the family affairs well, and come to the Yamen to report early tomorrow morning, get the customs defense, and go to Kaifeng for business. "

Out of the palace gate" Luo Kedi stopped and said.

Xia Xun answered yes." Luo Kedi hesitated for a moment, remembering that Xiao Qianyue found him last night crying and begging for mercy, and whether it was someone who had been with him for several years, his heart softened, and he said: "Also, tomorrow Come here, I will give you an official document to transfer someone to Xiaolingwei to accompany you to Kaifeng on official business. "

"Oh?"

Xia Ge seems to have sensed something" raised his head.

Luo Kedi smiled, and said: "Xiao Qianyue, you have done things together before, and you cooperated with each other tacitly. This person was taught a lesson by me because of his arrogance a few days ago. Thinking about it, he should know how to restrain himself now." He will go with you" can be regarded as a handy person. "

Xia Xun cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

Luo Kedi nodded, got on his horse and walked along the royal road.Xia Xun led his horse, walked out of the imperial road step by step, out of the Zhengyang Gate, stood on the Zhonghe Bridge, looked at the Qinhuai River flowing slowly, and let out a breath of turbidity.

"The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow-rooted; the bamboo shoots in the mountains are light and sharp, thick and hollow."

Thinking of the Emperor Jianwen in his heart, Xia Xun couldn't help but say what he had said about him." He smiled contemptuously at the Qinhuai River, turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a scholar in green shirt in his thirties, "he has pretty eyes, but his figure is extremely short" and the top of his head only reaches his chest. Straight, as if his nerves were not normal, he walked towards the guardrail of the bridge step by step." His expression was dull, his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something.

Xia Xun saw that he had a strange expression, and couldn't help but look at him intently. Seeing him walking to the bridge "holding on the railing to look at the river under the bridge, suddenly he pressed his arms hard" on the bridge railing, and was about to jump off.Xia Xun had been paying attention to his actions for a long time. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly reached out and "grabbed the robe around his waist" and pulled him back forcefully.

That man's short stature was "not heavy" and was picked up by Xia Xun in his hands.

"What are you doing" Let go of me and stop meddling in other people's business. "

The man became angry and struggled again and again." There was a faint smell of alcohol in his mouth. Xia Xun was in a bad mood, but when he saw this man blindly looking for death, he laughed angrily: "If you want to die, why not die?" Go to the countryside to hang yourself If it is rotten, it can still be fat." Jumping here, wouldn't it dirty the Qinhuai River? "

That person was even more annoyed by his teasing." He kept saying: "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable, let me go quickly, don't think that you are great just because you are the general banner of Jinyiwei, and I am even one level higher than you." Let go of me, it won't work system."

Xia Xun was a little surprised, so he let go." Qi said: "Are you an official?What kind of official are you, tell me. "

The man's lapel "proudly said: "My official, Xie Jin, was originally a good scholar in Zhongshu, who often served the late emperor, but now...now..."

Xie Jin? Editor-in-chief of "Yongle Dadian" "The first minister of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty!

I just chanted that pair: "The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow-rooted; the bamboo shoots in the mountains have a sharp mouth, thick skin, and a hollow belly." Xia Xun was even more surprised when he met the original author here unexpectedly." Seeing his collection of words, subconsciously He asked again, "How is it now? "

Xie Jin's shoulders slumped, and he said dejectedly: "Now, now... it's the guard of Hezhou (northwest of Lanzhou City, Gansu Province)..."

Xia Xun almost laughed out loud, guard?It is roughly equivalent to a company secretary now. Why did Xie Jin go back more and more?

Xia Xun looked at Xie Jin's appearance, then at the Qinhuai River, and suddenly said, "Master Xie was demoted to Hezhou to be a guard, so he wanted to throw himself into the river?"

Xie Jin blushed, and was a little speechless.Xia Xun thought to himself: "This is the editor-in-chief of "Yongle Dadian", such a talented person" can't let him die like this. " Then he said contemptuously: "Master Xie is full of talents and learning, why is he so hopeless? The sage was still poor. Famous officials in ancient times rarely had smooth sailing. Today, my lord is down in Hezhou. How can you know that you will not be an extremely talented official in the future? "

Xie Jin let out a wry laugh, spread his hands and said, "Me? Is it done?"

Xia Xun looked at his eyebrows very seriously, and said, "I see that your heaven is full, your pavilions are round, your bones are clear and strange, and your spiritual roots are very good. Your future prospects must be limitless."

Xie Jin stroked his chin, and said blankly, "Is Jin Yiwei in such a miserable state now that all fortune tellers are taken in?"

Xia Xun laughed." He grabbed Xie Jin's arm and said, "Let's go, let's find a hotel and chat while eating. "

Xie Jin only thought that this was a soldier who was drinking and drinking, and quickly covered his waist and said: "I have no money...

Xie Jin's family is not poor. He has been an official for many years and has a salary. Will he have no money?Xia Xun glanced at the miser contemptuously, and snorted, "Of course I invite you."

Xie Jin was relieved after hearing this, and then let him go.

Xia Xun found a small shop, cut a stewed plate, ordered a few light side dishes, and ordered a pot of wine, asked Xie Jin to sit down, and asked what happened, and only then did he know what happened.

Speaking of Xie Jin, he is indeed a talented man. In the 21st year of Hongwu, he was promoted as a Jinshi, and he was awarded the Zhongshu Shu Jishi. He walked in front of the imperial court and was highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang. He also said to him: "If you are righteous, you will be a monarch and a minister, and if you are kind to father and son, you should know everything. "Making someone as strict as Zhu Yuanzhang say such warm words" shows his love for him.

However, those who rely on talents are more proud, and so is Xie Jin. He has a high IQ, but his EQ is insufficient." , a bit distasteful. Later, he recklessly used a knife on behalf of Lang Zhongwangguo, and complained for the Korean public Li Shanchang.

His literary talents cannot be learned by others." Zhu Yuanzhang could tell at a glance." Although Zhu Yuanbi loved his talent, he was annoyed that he didn't know how to advance or retreat, so he called his old friend before becoming emperor, Xie Jin's father, to Beijing " Said to him: "Great tools are late blooming, if you return with your son, you will make progress."In the next ten years, it is not too late to use it. "In a word," the 22-year-old Xie Jin was resigned with pay, and went home to study and recuperate." He was given a ten-year long vacation all at once.

Xie Jin had no choice but to go home and devote himself to learning and sharpening his temperament. Seeing that eight years had passed, "the ten-year period is coming soon." As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang passed away. At this moment, Xie Jin was dumbfounded. Zhu Yuanzhang had promised, ten years Later, he was asked to return to the court as an official. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, the emperor and the courtiers "wait for another two years." Does the new emperor remember who he is?

What's the matter, "I should also show a little face in front of the emperor" to impress the emperor.But his mother just passed away a year ago, the three-year filial piety period has not yet passed, and his father is too old." How can he go to Beijing for activities? Besides, it has not yet reached the ten-year period stipulated by the emperor.

Xie Jin is a genius after all, and his brain is flexible." He even thought of an excuse. Didn't the late emperor's edict say that "the internal and external civil and military officials work together to assist the government?" No matter whether he can assist the government now, he is still a Beijing official" and he should come to see him The new emperor.Furthermore, "the first emperor once said to him personally: "If you are righteous, you will be a monarch and a minister, and you will be kind to father and son, so you should know everything. "Since En is the same as father and son, and the father passed away, it is only natural for the son to pay filial piety?

Just like that, Xie Jin rushed to the capital, but immediately fell into the hands of his old enemy Yuan Tai.

Yuan Tai was originally the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu of the Procuratorate "because of illegal activities" and was impeached by Xie Jin, and Zhu Yuanzhang demoted him. "After Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne, he adjusted the leadership team and removed Wu Youdao." Speaking of Xie Jin's return to Beijing, he immediately sued Zhu Yunxuan in front of Zhu Yunxuan: it is unfilial to leave home for less than three years in mourning: the first emperor promised him ten years, but now he returned to the capital in only eight years. Unfaithful; unfaithful and unfilial, should be executed!

Zhu Yunwen's ears are soft, and when he heard this, he ordered to kill Jin. Fortunately, Dong Lun, a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and Xie Jin were fellow villagers. Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and the righteousness should be taken. Even if guilty, one should not be killed, otherwise the loyalty of the former emperor and old ministers will inevitably be undermined.

So Zhu Yunwen leniently "sent him to the Northwest.

Xia Xun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, did Zhu Yuanzhang really not leave any talent for Zhu Yunqi?This is the editor-in-chief of "Yongle Encyclopedia", the great writer of "Yongle Dynasty", the first minister of the cabinet of the Yongle Dynasty, an outstanding politician who has been a scholar of the first minister for six years, and he got a job as a secretary for a certain company in the Northwest Frontier Defense Area..., Xie Jin As he talked and drank, the more he talked, the more sad he became, with snot and tears, and finally burst into tears, which attracted many guests in the tavern to look here. Xia Xun put down the wine money with a wry smile, helped Xie Jin, The guests nodded repeatedly and said: "My friend doesn't have a good drink, ha ha" just cry when he's drunk, don't pay attention to him" ignore him. "

Xia Xun helped Jin to come out, comforted him, and assured him that gold always shines, and pearls will not be dusted forever. It may not be a bad thing to go to the northwest to learn more about the people's situation and the military situation. Since he still has friends, maybe after three to five years, he will be employed by the court.

Xie Jin was originally a person with a relatively high IQ and a relatively low EQ. Once he told the grievances in his heart, he felt a lot more comfortable, and his thoughts of seeking death faded away. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xia Xun said made sense." When he sent him back to the inn, he said to Xia Xun with gratitude in his drunken eyes: "Wenxuan, thanks to you today, Xie's life was saved by you, Wenxuan's great kindness" Xie Jin remembered in his heart Yes, one day, Xie Jin will really be able to bear the hardships and return to court, and then repay Wenxuan's kindness."

Xia Xun promised to send him back to the room." Xie Jin was so drunk that he lay down on the couch and fell asleep. Xia Xun covered the door for him, and when he walked to the door of the inn, he suddenly froze : "I saved Xie Jin!If in history he threw himself into the river because he was demoted to Hezhou, then in the history without me, who saved him? If there is no other person, then his life and death are actually influenced by me, then Where am I in history? Is it because... I am unknown..."! ~!
