The Beijing officials of the Ming Dynasty usually go to the court at five o'clock in the morning, and if they meet the court, they have to get up at three o'clock in the morning to prepare, but whether it is the great court or the regular court, they will generally leave work at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

On the second day of the eighth month of the 16th year of the Ming Dynasty, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, officials from various ministries and institutes walked out of the official office one after another to prepare to go home.

Yang Weicong, the champion of the new department, walked out of the Hanlin Academy calmly, wearing a cyan official robe from the sixth grade, with a handsome character, and a group of young colleagues around him, all of whom are this year's new science and technology scholars, and they are all Hanlin Shuji who has passed the selection of the museum, and is the future minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Weicong is this year's new champion, who was awarded the Hanlin Revision from the Six Grades in the Golden Palace, and was also appreciated by Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, and was recently promoted to Zuo Zanshan of the Zhan Mansion.

Although Zuo Zanshan of Zhan Shifu only has six grades, and his rank is equivalent to that of Hanlin Xiu, Zhan Shifu is an auxiliary institution of the East Palace, and the officials of Zhan Shifu are also known as the auxiliary ministers of the East Palace, and they will be responsible for teaching and assisting the prince in the future. Obviously, Yang Ge always wants to train Yang Weicong to become the future emperor, Zhan Shifu Zuo Zanshan is one step further is the Zhan Shifu Zuo Zhongyun of the Zhengliupin, and then the Zhengwupin Zhan Shifu University Scholar, and then the Hanlin Academy Bachelor and the Hanlin Academy to be lectured, these two are officials who assist the emperor or the prince in their studies, and are called the emperor teacher.

Yang Tinghe served as a lecturer in the East Palace, responsible for lecturing to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, and later Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne as the emperor, Yang Tinghe soon also entered the cabinet auxiliary government, and finally succeeded Li Dongyang as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Therefore, Yang Weicong's future is bright, if there is no accident, he will definitely enter the cabinet in the future, as if he has become a banner figure among the new science and technology scholars, and even faintly compares Xu Jin, who has always been the most powerful tanhualang.

"Brother Dafu (Yang Weicong), I heard that at noon today, the DPRK received an expedited 800-mile rush from Shandong, and Xiao Yushi and Xu Ziqian, both of whom suffered a flood and disappeared, can there be such a thing?" A Hanlin Shuji asked.

Although Hanlin Shujishi is noble, he is a loose official with no rank, equivalent to an intern, so he is not qualified to go to the court, and he can only rely on inquiring about what happened at the court.

Yang Weicong nodded and said, "Yes, the whereabouts are still unknown, and the emperor has issued an order to order the local government to find the whereabouts of the two at all costs." ”

A group of Ji Shi couldn't help but look at each other, some people regretted, of course, there were also people secretly gloating in their hearts, Xu Jin was known as the first person in the current Ming Dynasty literary circle, even in the five yuan to explore the flower and the first, if it were not for Yang Ge Lao and others to suppress it, maybe even the sixth yuan champion and the first, this body of brilliance and dazzling, coupled with the favor of the new monarch, or Fei Ge Lao's proud protégé, it really makes people envious and jealous.

Although Xu Jin is currently suppressed by Yang Gelao, it is foreseeable that Xu Jin's future prospects are absolutely limitless, and this time, as the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission for disaster relief, he will definitely be promoted at least one level after returning to the court.

However, now that Xu Jin has been flooded and his whereabouts are unknown, it is estimated that he is more than lucky, if this person dies, what is the use of having more halos on his body? Hey, so you still have to be modest, if you are too rebellious, you will be sent by heaven!

"Alas, it's a pity for Xu Ziqian!" All the glossers shook their heads and sighed, but they didn't know what they thought in their hearts.

Yang Weicong's mood is very complicated, he has always regarded Xu Jin as a potential competitor, but now that he hears that Xu Jin may no longer be alive, he is very disappointed in his heart, it is not easy to have a confidant in life, and it is not easy to get a rival.

……

Fei Maozhong is the eye of this year's new science list, was awarded the Hanlin editor, and also works in the Hanlin Academy every day, he did not go home immediately after work today, but ran to the Donghua Gate of the imperial city to wait for his father Fei Hong.

Fei Hong was reinstated as an official after entering Beijing in mid-July, served as a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and was crowned as one of the three princes of Shaobao, gave python clothes and jade belts, and also gave all the luggage ships that were burned by King Ning when he returned to his hometown, which made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military envious.

Fei Mao waited for nearly half an hour before his father Fei Hong came out of the palace, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, he was naturally busier than ordinary Beijing officials, and he would usually leave the cabinet about an hour late.

The father and son got into the carriage, and Fei Maozhong asked anxiously: "Dad, has Ziqian suffered a flood?" ”

Fei Hong nodded and said: "The eunuch Huang Jin sent someone to send eight hundred miles to expedite, Ziqian and Xiao Huai were indeed unfortunately flooded, and now their lives and deaths are uncertain." ”

Fei Maozhong said distractedly: "How can this be! ”

Fei Hong sighed: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, but I hope that Ziqian will be auspicious!" ”

Fei Maozhong said in a deep voice: "Dad, it is said that Lord Xiao once wrote a book to hear that the magistrates of Yanzhou colluded with each other to steal and sell official food, could it be that the magistrate dog jumped over the wall in a hurry to secretly poison him, otherwise how could it be so coincidental?" ”

Fei Hong calmly brushed his beard and said nothing, in fact, he also had doubts in his heart, and today he had proposed to send a Qin mission to investigate this matter, and now the cabinet is still discussing it. Although Fei Hong is magnanimous, if it is found out that his protégé has indeed been poisoned by local officials, even if the entire officialdom of Shandong Province is overturned, he will vowed to seek justice.

Fei Hong was silent for a moment, and advised: "Don't talk nonsense about this matter when you go home, let alone let your sister know, this girl is not tight-mouthed, and she will definitely tell Ruyi." ”

"The child knows!" Fei Maozhong sighed secretly, the third sister waited for Ziqian for two years, but this kind of thing happened before the people in the capital arrived, if she knew about it, I am afraid she would not be able to bear this blow.

……

In the past half a month, the little emperor Zhu Houxi's mood was undoubtedly extremely unhappy, Yang Tinghe first played hooligans to demote Wang Zhan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, out of Beijing, and then transferred Zhang Xuan and others, and finally sent Xu Jin to Beijing for disaster relief.

After that, the court officials headed by Yang Tinghe began to press step by step, asking the little emperor to recognize Xiaozong as the imperial examination, although Fei Hong had returned to the court and entered the cabinet, but he did not stand up to clearly support Zhu Houxi, and in fact Fei Hong also agreed with Yang Tinghe's view that the small sect would succeed the big sect, so Emperor Jiajing could only carry it alone.

A few days ago, there was a fire in the small room of Qingning Palace, and the courtiers seized this matter to make a big fuss, which probably means that the emperor is not filial, and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are angry and show their spirits. Zhu Houxi was forced to temporarily accept Yang Tinghe's proposal and recognized Xiaozong as the emperor's examination, but the courtiers also took a step back and gave Xingwang Zhu Youyuan the title of emperor, calling his biological father Xingxian Emperor, but without adding the word "emperor".

was forced by the minister to recognize his uncle as his father, Zhu Houxi was naturally extremely depressed, just at this time Princess Jiang and Princess Yongchun of Yongfu entered Beijing, so Zhu Houxi used the excuse of accompanying his mother and did not go to court for several days in a row, in order to express his dissatisfaction to the ministers.

However, on the first day of the restoration of the previous dynasty today, Zhu Houxi received an unfortunate news that Xiao Huai and Xu Jin, who were ordered to provide disaster relief, actually suffered a flood at the same time, so the mood was even worse.

At this time, Zhu Houxi went to Cining Palace unhappily and asked his mother Jiang to say goodbye, and his two younger sisters Yongfu and Yongchun happened to be there.

Seeing his son's dazed expression, Jiang couldn't help but ask distressedly: "Your Majesty, are those ministers embarrassed you again?" Alas, I knew that I would not have agreed to let you succeed to the throne when I was a mother! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Houxi hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, I am the emperor, who dares to embarrass me, Xu Jin has an accident, I feel sad." ”

Jiang Shi said in surprise: "What happened to Xu Jin?" ”

Yongfu and Yongchun both looked at each other, and Zhu Houxi said dejectedly: "I received Huang Jin's eight-hundred-mile rush today, Xiao Huai and Xu Jin happened to lack the embankment when they inspected the embankment, and both of them suffered from flooding!" ”

"Ahh Yongfu covered his small mouth and exclaimed, and the little Lori Yongchun said deliciously: "That...... Has the body been found, has the body been found, has anyone found it? ”

Zhu Hou shook his head: "Now that his whereabouts are unknown, I have already ordered Huang Jin to search for them with all his might." ”

Jiang frowned and said, "Alas...... How could this happen? ”

Princess Yongfu comforted softly: "Brother Huang, Xu Gongzi is a good person, and he will definitely be safe." ”

Zhu Houxi said distressedly: "I hope, or I don't know how to mention it to Sister Xiaowan." ”

Jiang sighed secretly and said: "That's right, I haven't seen Xiaowan for a long time, your majesty, can my mother summon Xiaowan into the palace tomorrow?" ”

Zhu Houxi nodded and said, "It's good, but don't say it, I'm afraid that Sister Xiaowan won't be able to stand it if she knows about it." Especially Yongchun, take care of your little mouth! ”

"Brother Huang, people know!" Yongchun pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, then stuffed a piece of candied fruit into his mouth. ()
