How long has it been? ”

In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun paced anxiously in circles, and finally couldn't help but ask Chen Ju, who had just come in.

Chen Ju replied in a low voice: "Emperor, it has been a total of three minutes since the eldest princess Feng drove out of the palace. ”

"Why hasn't there been any news yet?" Zhu Yijun stopped, turned his head and asked, "Nothing will go wrong, right?" Who went to Baiyulou? ”

Chen Ju hesitated slightly, and replied: "Emperor, the situation is a little unexpected, and the leader is Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi Guard. ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, his face immediately darkened, and he took a deep breath: "Liu Shouyou...... Good, good, good generation of loyalty, the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog. ”

The word Eagle Dog of Heaven is undoubtedly a derogatory term in the eyes of later generations, but in fact, it is a positive meaning in the Ming Dynasty. Because of the so-called eagle dogs, they are naturally powerful and loyal. However, judging from Zhu Yijun's tone at this time, this is probably an irony.

But he didn't dwell too much, but continued to ask with a cold face: "Who else?" ”

"There are some young scholars."

Zhu Yijun was stunned again, frowned, and said, "Why is this?" Are there no other officials with you? What are these scholars doing together? ”

Chen Ju cautiously replied, "The specific reason is not clear, the slave maid thinks that Liu Shou has or hopes to use the influence of these scholars to force Gao Gao Cheng to have to allow them to enter the White Jade Tower. ”

"Forced?" Zhu Yijun asked rhetorically: "How can a group of white-clothed scholars force the important ministers of the imperial court to open their private courtyards?" ”

"Emperor, it's a group of white bodies." Chen Ju said: "High school Cheng is the only six champions in my dynasty, and he is famous and well-known in Shilin. But because of this, he couldn't refuse a group of scholars who asked him to visit the garden, otherwise the news would be despised by Shilin. ”

After a pause, he added: "Besides, the situation is a little different this year, these scholars are all temporarily staying in Beijing after going to Beijing to catch the exam, and some of them may already be in high school, but they are new science and technology scholars. Some people may fail to make the list, but since they can stay in Beijing, they either have a solid family business, or they have relatives and friends in Beijing, in short...... are inseparable from officialdom. ”

Zhu Yijun knew that it was amazing, his snort was a little heavier, he snorted, and asked, "Who are the people and who are they related to?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, this group of people has a special identity, and it is not easy for Dongchang Fanzi to approach and peep at will, so it is not yet possible to fully ascertain their identity and the relationship ......between Beijing and China."

Zhu Yijun interrupted impatiently: "Even if you can't find out completely, there are always a few that can be figured out, right?" I've figured out what to do, say! ”

Chen Ju was not frightened, and replied calmly: "There are two people who can be confirmed at present, one is Yu Tingyao, a person from Zhongshushe, and the other is Wang Shiqi, a person who is the first to be raised. ”

"Yu Tingyao? The Chinese scholars? Zhu Yijun pondered and asked, "I have some impression of this name, but I can't remember who he is for a while...... Who is this man? ”

Chen Ju bowed his head and replied, "This is the eldest son of Mr. Yu Youding Yu, a scholar of Wenhuadian University. ”

He didn't look up after he said this, and he didn't hear the emperor's response for a long time, and I don't know how long it took before he heard Zhu Yijun sigh and ask again: "What about Wang Shiqi, it's just a person who has fallen to the top, why did you find out so quickly?" ”

Chen Ju replied: "This is Wang Shizhen's eldest son. This son was tried to solve the yuan in Tianxiang last year, but he lost in the spring of this year, and he never went to high school, and he has been in Beijing for a while. ”

Zhu Yijun sneered: "Wang Shizhen is known as one of the 'Later Seven Sons', after Li Panlong's death, he dominated the literary world for more than ten years, and even Gao Wenzhenggong didn't pay attention to it in the past, and he also wrote "The First Auxiliary Biography since Jiajing". I read this book a few days ago, and it slandered the New Deal of Practical Learning. In particular, when he wrote about Gao Wenzhenggong and his former assistant Mr. Guo, he also talked about seeking truth by the way, saying that seeking truth was 'flattering and unbridled', and I couldn't wait to arrest him and confront him at that time!

Hum! If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Fu and Ji Fu came out to intercede, saying that this person was already seriously ill and fell into vain, he actually worshipped Wang Xijue's daughter as a teacher, saying that he was going to ask for some immortal way, and also served this twenty-three-year-old orphan widow 'Feather Flying Ascension'...... I can't wait to arrest him and ask him for his guilt! 'Feathered Ascension'? It's ridiculous! [Note: It's not me Heiwang Shizhen, this matter was very big at the time, and there are quite a lot of records, and it is by no means an isolated evidence.] Interested friends can check "Wang Taozhen". ]

After Zhu Yijun was sarcastic, he paused for a while, and then asked: "I remember that after Mr. Gao's immortal death, Mr. Guo in order to show his love for talent, and also to show that Mr. Gao and he disregarded the old grudges, and reinstated Wang Shizhen as Ying Tianfu Yin, but he resolutely refused, but instead asked for Zhishi, and then refused to go to the post, and it didn't take long for him to go to the apprenticeship to seek immortals...... Now that Wang Shiqi has lost in Chunfu but does not go back to fulfill his filial piety for his father, could it be that he is cured? ”

Chen Ju said disdainfully: "How can it be good? It is said that medicine has been used as a substitute for rice. ”

Zhu Yijun sneered: "This is called deserved, cultivating and seeking immortals?" Hmph......"

Of course, Chen Ju knew the emperor's attitude towards cultivation, and his grandfather, Emperor Jiajing, was a good hand at doing this back then, so that Zhu Yijun couldn't even get a serious name when he was several years old. In addition, the first emperor Mu Miao hated the word Xiuxian, and Zhu Yijun was naturally extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior.

Zhu Yijun didn't wait for Chen Ju to express any opinions, and continued: "Since Wang Shizhen is seriously ill, this Wang Shiqi does not think about filial piety, but stays in Beijing, and even goes to the 'garden', which shows that he is not a filial son. I pondered, he was able to win the Xie Yuan in Tianxiang last year, maybe it was all because of Wang Shizhen's old face......"

This is a bit too emotional, and in fact, it is not easy to overturn the case, so you can't go back now to check whether there was any fraud in the Ying Tianxiang test last year, right? Therefore, Chen Ju did not answer.

And Zhu Yijun's anger didn't seem to have been vented yet, and he continued: "I thought that this plan to lure the snake out of the hole would lead out some giant python, but now it seems that the giant python is very shrewd, but it didn't lead out, but it accidentally stabbed the snake's nest. Chen Ju, do you think I should catch a few little snakes now, or should I even connect the nest end? ”

Chen Ju has always been cautious, how can he express his position at this sensitive moment? At the moment, he said decisively: "The rewards and punishments are all from above, and the slaves and maids have no opinions." ”

"You're cautious." Zhu Yijun smiled with satisfaction, but waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't want you to come up with any ideas, just talk about what the consequences will probably be if you catch the little snake and even the nest." ”

Chen Ju hesitated a little and replied: "Catching a little snake is like scaring a snake with grass, but the emperor also said that there may be a giant python behind these little snakes." If we catch the little snake, we can't keep these giant pythons not only unwilling to be honest, but instead take the opportunity to make waves and set off some other turmoil. ”

Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Do you think they're so bold? ”

Chen Ju said: "In front of the real dragon, there is no room for pythons to fly. However, the slave maid thought that it was impossible for them to do these things openly, and most of them would make a fuss about today's Baiyulou...... Therefore, the slaves and maids felt that whether they dared to make waves or not depended on how well the high school side handled it. ”

Zhu Yijun's face looked a little better, and he thought for a while and said: "I have always been relieved to be truthful, but I am afraid...... I don't know how he will explain this matter to Yao Yuan today. I did this, although I took advantage of Yao Yuan, but in the final analysis, it was really for her good, in case she had a dislike with me because of this, I ...... in my heart"

Zhu Yijun didn't say the following words, but Chen Ju could certainly understand it.

Originally, the emperor felt guilty about this sister, but who knew that since this matter was going to "lead the snake out of the hole", it was inevitable that he would use her again, and this guilt was even deeper. If his brother and sister fall out of harmony because of this, he will naturally feel more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

But Chen Ju couldn't say anything, so he could only comfort: "The emperor also said just now, the high school has always done things properly, and it must be able to solve this matter satisfactorily, and the emperor just needs to rest assured." ”

Zhu Yijun sighed: "I can only think like this." After a pause, he said, "So, what about Lian Woduan?" ”

Chen Ju said: "Although all the scholars involved in this matter have not yet been identified, at least it seems that Yu Ge Lao may be implicated...... Yu Ge Lao's health has not been very good in the past two years, and now he is not lightly ill, it is difficult to say whether he knows or not. Moreover, after all, Yu Ge Lao is a heavy minister, and he has always had a close friendship with Shen Ge Lao, advancing and retreating together. If the fire is burned on him this time, the slave is worried that Shen Ge Lao may have a misunderstanding, and it will not end well. ”

Although he refused to make ideas on behalf of the emperor, the meaning of these words was still obvious.

It's just that Zhu Yijun didn't seem very happy when he heard it, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

After a long while, Zhu Yijun said: "It's really bad to implicate Mr. Yu, and it's even worse to implicate Mr. Shen again, I understand this, but it's ......."

Everything is afraid of the word "but", Chen Ju's heart moved.

Sure enough, Zhu Yijun turned his face blank: "I promised to seek the truth, I must give him an explanation for this matter, if I only catch a few little snakes, wouldn't it be that I, the son of heaven, actually broke my trust in him?" ”

"The emperor is too worried." Chen Ju shook his head and said: "First of all, Gao Gao Cheng is a reasonable person, and the obstacles on the emperor's side, the slave maid thinks that Gao Gao Cheng will be able to understand." Secondly, these little snakes are not masterminds in the first place, even if we don't make things too complicated and don't grasp them too deeply, but at the moment, no one can take on this matter. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun's heart moved, and he nodded: "I know, you mean Liu Shouyou." ”

Chen Ju bowed his head slightly, but did not speak.

Zhu Yijun thought about it and hesitated: "But Jinyiwei is ...... right now It seems that there is no good candidate to replace him for a while, replace him, who will Jinyiwei hand over? ”

In fact, Zhu Yijun himself is to blame for this, he is indeed a person who uses people without doubt, Liu Shouyou's background is still very popular in Jinyiwei, after the serious Wenchen Minister, and he is not old, it stands to reason that it is no problem to use it for another ten or twenty years. Therefore, Zhu Yijun had not considered the issue of substitution before, and he really couldn't think of who could replace him for a while.

To paraphrase the words of later generations, this means that the training and connection of cadres have not been done well.

Originally, he meant to hope that Chen Ju would help recommend it, because the nature of the work of the East Factory was there, and it was to supervise Jinyiwei. Who knew that Chen Ju replied bluntly: "The candidate for the steward of Jinyi Wei is extraordinary, and the minister does not dare to hear about it." ”

Chen Ju has always called himself a slave in front of the emperor, which is a humble self-title, in fact, the eunuchs of the Ming generation can be called ministers, and even the rank does not need to be too high, just guard the eunuch in one place, let alone the dignified Dongchang Governor.

However, he has always called himself a slave and maid, but at this time he changed the self-title of "minister", which obviously has a clear meaning: who the head of Jinyiwei chooses is not only important, but also has its particularity, and he, as a courtier, does not dare to say more than half a word.

This kind of caution is what Zhu Yijun particularly admires about Chen Ju, but the current problem is not easy to solve, so although Zhu Yijun nodded, he was stunned for a while and couldn't say anything.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Yijun simply didn't bother to think about it, and waved his hand with some annoyance: "Forget it, I will discuss this matter with Qiuzhen later, and solve Liu Shouyou's problem first." ”

He paused and said, "You are the commander of Dongchang, Liu Shou has this kind of incident, you don't mention who will replace him, but how to deal with him, you should always have some considerations, right?" ”

Chen Ju was really not polite this time, and replied: "What the emperor said is...... Liu Shou's incident this time, according to Gao Wenzhenggong's previous regulations on the restructuring of the ministry, should be defined as 'being an official and not being careful'. As for the disposal, it is different from severity, from light to heavy, there are several kinds of incentives, idleness, dismissal, and punishment, until the house is raided.

However, raiding is very rare, and it generally does not occur unless its 'carelessness' has caused extremely serious consequences and impacts. Liu Shou's incident this time, although the nature is bad, it should not reach that level. As for the degree of punishment, it still depends on the emperor's judgment. ”

This means that I can only characterize him according to the rules, that is, "being an official is not careful", and to what extent is this thing "not careful", this thing can only be defined by yourself, I dare not say nonsense.

The reason why Chen Ju said this is because in the Ming Dynasty, the crime of "carelessness" was very large, ranging from wearing the wrong clothes on a specific occasion, to roaring in front of the king, and even quietly bringing a knife to see the emperor, which was not prudent in nature.

In fact, wearing the wrong clothes is usually just a minor offense, and roaring in front of the king is the crime of bullying the king, and bringing a knife to see the emperor can even be regarded as a rebellion if it is strict, which shows the wide scope of application of this "imprudent".

Zhu Yijun thought about it, and said after a while: "For the time being, we will consider dismissal or dismissal on the spot, and the specific situation will be determined depending on the results of Bai Yulou." ”

The emperor's characterization did not seem to be too unexpected by Chen Ju, and he responded very calmly.

Zhu Yijun looked at the hourglass again and asked, "No matter how slow Liu Shouyou goes, it should be time to go to Baiyulou at this time, right?" Are the people you sent out to pick up Yao Yu reliable? Nothing could go wrong, could it? ”

Chen Ju lowered his head and replied: "Huang Zhangyin and the slave maid are also worried about what happens, so this response plan has been consulted with the high school master, and it is expected that it should be foolproof." ”

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he said happily: "Since it is a plan to seek truth and see, then it will be fine." I will go to Cining Palace first to 'say goodbye', so as not to get the time...... Ahem, you can go, you don't have to accompany you. ”

"Yes, my lord, the slave and maid are retired."
