。 When I returned to the county seat, I naturally had to pay New Year's greetings to my boss, colleagues, and neighbors. Although my father is now an official of the Jiupin Imperial Court, he still has to pay New Year's greetings to the county magistrates, and Wang Xian first went to the Yamen to pay New Year's greetings to Wei Zhi County.

Compared with the strong smell of the New Year on the street, the yamen is much more deserted, not only the officials and servants are on vacation, but even the long entourage and servant women of the rear yamen have also gone home for the New Year. In the huge back office, there are only two singles, Wei Zhixian and Sima Qiu, who follow Sima Dan's family to make do with the New Year.

However, Wei Zhixian likes to be quiet, and after a year of hard work, it is rare to have time to tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra, not only do not feel bitter, but enjoy it. In order to avoid socializing with his colleagues and squires, he learned the custom of 'looking at the door and posting' from the Beijing master, and only asked Sima Qiu to write a congratulatory post and send someone to send it to his colleagues and squires, even if it was a New Year's greeting.

As for coming to him to pay New Year's greetings, Wei Zhixian placed a registration book in the living room, and visitors only needed to leave their names and write a few auspicious words at most, even if it was to pay him a New Year's greeting. This form is naturally easy and fast compared to red tape, but unfortunately only two Jinshi and one county parents like Wei Zhixian can be used, if others also follow suit, they have to be sprayed to death by saliva.

However, Wei Zhixian still looked at Wang Xian differently and met him in the study.

After greeting the teacher, Wang Xian took the red envelope from Wei Zhixian, sat aside and said: "The teacher has had a hard time this year, it would be better if he had brought the senior sister earlier." ”

"In the case of last year, the teacher is still in danger, and he may lose his official position and return to his hometown at any time, or even go to prison, how can he bring his family?" Wei Zhixian smiled slightly bitterly: "Besides, such a quiet rìzi is rare, and I am happy for the teacher." ”

"Teacher's feelings." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"It's a pity that Ming Rì still has to go to Hangzhou to pay New Year's greetings." Wei Zhixian said distressedly: "It's really distressing to be too close to the provincial capital of Fucheng. "There are many yamen in Hangzhou, and they are all superiors, Fuyang County is so close, if Wei Zhixian doesn't go to pay New Year's greetings, don't mix up in the officialdom.

"It's also a good opportunity to get closer to your boss." Wang Xian hurriedly comforted: "The teacher is quite political now, and he must avoid being jealous of the villain." ”

"Well, as a teacher, you won't lose a big one because of a small one." Wei Zhixian nodded and said: "But there is another reason why the teacher is reluctant to go to Hangzhou......" He was a little embarrassed, but he wanted Wang Xian to help him refer to it, and finally said: "It's because there is a fellow villager Ding Wei who is still staying in the provincial capital." If you go to Hangzhou, you will inevitably have to visit your fellow villagers. ”

"Is the teacher talking about Zuo Chūn Fang University Shi Hu Ge?" Wang Xian also read the Di newspaper, and naturally had some impressions of the movements of the big guys.

"Hmm." Wei Zhixian nodded and sighed: "Actually, I don't want to see him." Being able to say this kind of thing to Wang Xian shows that Wei Zhixian's trust in Wang Xian is no longer inferior to Sima Qiu.

"Huh?" Wang Xian was a little puzzled: "Hu Ge is always a close minister of the emperor, and it is too late for others to compete with him, why is the teacher ......?"

"Alas, the Tao is different...... Wei Zhixian frowned slightly, and said very sincerely: "Of course I don't dare not go." ”

Wang Xian is a little incomprehensible, Hu Guang is the champion of the second year of Jianwen, and Wei Zhixian has just come out this year, what can the two intersect?

Ignoring Wang Xian's puzzled gaze, Wei Zhixian said slowly: "Being a teacher is not a hypocritical person, if you just visit him, it doesn't hurt, but what I'm worried about is that he will ......" paused and said: "Order me to write to the imperial court and ask for the release of Master Xie ......"

Wang Xian understands a little now, Bachelor Xie is the famous Xie Jin, known as the first genius of the Ming Dynasty, and the first cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and also a native of Jiangxi. It is said that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi Province has almost monopolized the Jinshi Dragon and Tiger List, and most of the officials in the central region are from Jiangxi. The reason for this situation is that Jiangxi is a major province of culture and education, but it is also necessary to give a credit to the bachelor. It was he who opened the era when Jiangxi people controlled the imperial examination and promoted the backwards, so that the government and the opposition stole it as the 'Jiangxi Party', and made Xie Jinmu the party leader.

This bachelor, who has many party members and is famous all over the world, was promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin and a scholar of Zuo Chūn Fang after five years of Yongle in Yongle, and was promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin and a scholar of Zuo Chūn Fang. But because of the establishment of the crown prince, he was hated by the king of Han, and he was quickly dealt with.

And Xie Jin, who was pretentious and informal, naturally had a lot of handles, and was soon found guilty of 'leaking the forbidden Chinese language' and 'unfair reading of the court examination papers', and was demoted to the counselor of the Guangxi Political Envoy Department. Immediately, it was framed by Li Zhigang, and he was demoted to the political envoy of Jiaozhi......

After being relegated from Guangxi to Vietnam, Xie Jin fell from heaven to hell, and after suffering for three years, Zhu Di finally remembered him and ordered him to enter Beijing to face the saint. After receiving the will, Xie Jinzhi hurried to the capital, but Jiaozhi was too far away from the capital, and when he ran to the capital, the emperor had already gone on a northern expedition.

Xie Jin had no choice but to wait for the will in Nanjing, and the hundred officials thought that he was going to recover, so they naturally rushed to visit and compete to extend the invitation, Xie Jin quickly regained the feeling of being a leader in the literary world and a teacher of a hundred officials, and once again became proud. As a result, as soon as he was proud, he got carried away, and he actually met the prince in private. Unexpectedly, the King of Han had already stared at him, and immediately told the emperor in Mobei that there must be a hidden conspiracy for Xie Jin's private visit to the East Palace.

The emperor went out on an expedition, and the most taboo was this, and he was very angry when he heard it, and ordered Jinyiwei to be imprisoned for the crime of 'no one to pay tribute', and it has been a whole year now. Xie Jin's popularity was not good, but the officials of the DPRK and China still tried their best to rescue him, in addition to the fact that he was the leader of the Gan Party, but also because he was the number one contributor to the canonization of the crown prince.

The current Yongle Emperor has three sons, all of whom were born to Empress Xu. Among the three sons, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi is a big fat man with lame feet, and he needs the support of two palace people to walk, which makes the strong and vigorous Zhu Di very unhappy. Zhu Di has always favored his second son, Zhao Wang Gao Xu, who is quite similar to Zhu Di, brave and handsome, who has made great contributions in Jingjing and saved Zhu Di's life, and Zhu Di has also personally made a wish to seize the world in the future and make him the crown prince.

But Zhu Gaochi is the son of Yan chosen by Taizu for Zhu Di, and he is benevolent and elegant, and has the full support of the ministers. Xie Jin, as the head of the civil officials at that time, said too many good things for the prince. At several critical moments, it was Xie Jin who played a decisive role, and finally made the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince.

Hundreds of officials shouted grievances for the relief of Jin, in fact, they were protecting the prince. On the stall of today's strong, suspicious, brutal and unkind father, and there is a brother who is like a wolf and a tiger, and the prince is in turmoil, the day is precarious, and the officials dare not speak for him publicly, so they indirectly express their support for the other party of the 'no courtesy', the prince Zhu Gaochi, by shouting for the settlement of grievances.

Hu Guang, the second person in the Jiangxi Party, and Xie Jin are iron buddies who are 'born in the same room, elder classmates, and official officials', so they naturally spared no effort to try to rescue them. He also asked his fellow villagers, protégés, and subordinates to go to the court to create an irreversible general trend of people's hearts, and asked for the release of Xie Jin.

Although Wei Zhixian is still young, but Jian's courtiers in the emperor's heart, at least in the eyes of others, his words must have a certain influence on the emperor, if he goes to see Hu Guang, eighty percent will be asked to be dismissed......

The matter involved the secrets of the palace, Wei Zhixian actually knew nothing, but his bad feelings towards Xie Jin and Hu Guang made him not want to get involved in this matter. As a Taoist gentleman, Wei Zhixian attaches great importance to the word 'integrity', but Xie Jin and Hu Guang, the two idols of his former rì, are planted on these two words.

Needless to say, he made his nephew rebel and became the emperor. In that year, the city of Jinling was broken, and 463 officials of the Beijing Division fled and abandoned the officials. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many redundant officials, and the court officials were almost gone.

Of course, there are also those who surrendered to Zhu Di, oh yes, this is not called surrender, it is called 'ying', how many people are there? Twenty-four, among them are Xie Jin and Hu Guang. Why did this happen? Because everyone is a disciple of a saint, and Sage Kong talks about loyalty and filial piety, and loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, so everyone ran away and didn't give Zhu Di an official, only a few shameless official fans, when the emperor was still alive, openly went out of the city to meet the usurper thieves!

What is even more shameful is that the night before the destruction of Jinling City, the four leaders of the Jiangxi Party, Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Wu Pu, and Wang Gen, got together to discuss countermeasures. At that time, Xie Jin's justice was awe-inspiring, and Hu Guang was not far behind, impassioned, saying that if Zhu Di came in, he would be martyred and absolutely loyal to Yunyun, but the next day the two of them went out together to surrender.

At that time, Wang Gen, who was silently crying in the second year of Jianwen, took poison and committed suicide, and he was really martyred.

There is also a Jianwen Wu Pu in the second year, in order to save his life, he later surrendered under the persuasion of Hu Guang. But his son Wu Hebi was deeply ashamed and vowed not to take the imperial examination for the rest of his life. After resolutely returning to his hometown, Wu Youbi befriended Wei Yuan, who was studying at home, and often expressed his disdain and disgust for Xie Jin and Hu Guang.

Affected by it, Wei Zhixian naturally didn't have a good impression of these two, and he didn't want to get involved in their business.

"As a teacher, he is only a small county, and it is really wrong to talk about such a major event in the court." Wei Zhixian carefully said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and they are trying to hold the saint hostage with public opinion, which is not the way of a courtier." ”

"The teacher wants to stay away from right and wrong and stay alone?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"Hmm." Wei Zhixian nodded, and said honestly: "The gods are fighting, and the little ghosts are suffering, so it's better for me to stay away." ”

"It's not hard." Wang Xian said with a smile: "As long as the teacher tells Hu Ge Lao that the bachelor is in prison, it is actually King Zhao and Ji Gang who are working together to rectify him, it is useless to just shout about injustice, let the saint know the true face of these two people." He will never dare to let you go to the book......" paused and said: "Of course, the law does not pass on to the six ears, and this kind of words must not be leaked out." ”

"Oh......" Wei Zhixian pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "You kid has a lot of ghosts!" ”。
