Chapter 828 Underfoot (Part 2)
.In Beijing in March, the spring breeze is gentle and the grass is long and the birds are flying. This is the most beautiful and shortest season of the year.
The early morning sun shines through the window lattice and shines in the dining room of Tongzhou Yijia character crossing the courtyard. It is neither dazzling nor burning. It only makes people feel warm and bright.
Chen Si picked up a small white porcelain plate, used chopsticks he had not yet used, picked up the screw vegetables from the jar, and placed them firmly on the plate. He sent them to Xu Jie, and then came to him. Seeing Xu Jie holding the bowl and waiting for him, he also picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped half a spoonful and delivered it to his mouth.
"Drink slowly." Xu Jie said, "First hold it in your mouth, and then swallow it."
Chen Si had to take half a spoonful of porridge at his order, and slowly took a long time to swallow it.
Xu Jie also did it like this. After swallowing the porridge in his mouth, he slowly said, "I also went to school with "Bai Porridge Book". It said that there is no health preservation fluid. "Eating porridge in this way can lead to immortality."
Silently smiled, "I didn't expect that the teacher would read Puzhou Gong's works as well."
"He is a good word to teach people how to live forever." Xu Jie sighed with great emotion: "I just regret that I am a yellow-leaf tree in the rain and a white-headed man under the lamp. The old scene in Sangyu has not been a few years since the evening. At this time, I began to pay attention to health preservation, which is like cramming Buddha's feet for a moment, but I am afraid that old diseases will not be cured." After saying this, he looked at Silence. Most people cannot understand this implicit sound, but Xu Jie knew that Silence is not an ordinary person.
"The teacher's words are wrong." Sure enough, he understood the silence. He put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and sat upright and said, "Health preservation is an attitude. As long as you start from now on, you can stick to this way of eating porridge, and you will definitely prolong your life and live a hundred years."
"Haha, I'll accept your good words." Xu Jie nodded with a smile.
What kind of tricks does this make? In fact, this is Xu Jie's self-deprecating heart. In fact, Xu Jie's heart is very angry with silence, you, a traitorous thing, dare to suck inside and out, and plot with others to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors. He really wishes he could bite your nose.
However, Mr. Xu, who has mastered the turtle skills to perfection, is still angry, but he knows that the situation is stronger than others. He has stepped down, and silence is a powerful Grand Secretary. Both sides have changed their strength immediately... and unless he is willing to give up his face and admits that he is cheated by silence, he has no means to threaten the other party.
But Mr. Xu is almost seventy years old. What else can he do besides his reputation? So he will never die with silence unless he has to.
After realizing this, Xu Jie knew that instead of trying to be so quick and humiliate and remain silent, it would be better to show his weakness and see that both sides have not yet had a good chance of cultivating them. After all, the status of teachers and students is there, and Chen Si doesn't want to keep making trouble and be laughed at by others, right?
So Xu Jie used "Baizhu Pu" and Yang Bo to point out insidiously, "I know you and the old Xierzhou were the two of you who played me home! Then he said that he was a yellow-leaf tree in the rain and a white-headed man under the lamp, which means that I gave up and stopped playing. Let's live a good life.
However, for his own, "Sangyu's evening scene, what Xu Jie is most worried about is not Chen Si and Yang Bo. After all, one is a student and the other is a family member. Even if he is for the world to see, he always has to take care of his incense.
What he was worried about was that "the old disease is difficult to cure. Who is his old disease? It is naturally Gao Gong. He used "health preservation, a metaphor for the relationship with future rulers, and was worried that he would be liquidated after Gao Gong came to power in the future. He said that he "cucked for a moment" means that the relationship with silence was too stiff before, and he didn't know that he would have time to reconcile now.
In the final analysis, I lost. Do you protect me?
The silent answer is a cover! But you have to persist. The way to eat porridge is what Yang Bo said about eating porridge, and it has a lot of taste in indifference!
It means that you don’t mess with the wind and rain in the future, and enjoy your old age with honesty. I will naturally guarantee that you are fine.

It seems that after this simple conversation, the relationship between the master and the apprentice entered a new chapter.
A little smile appeared in Xu Jie's eyes, and then he stretched out an old hand toward Chen Si.
The silence was stunned for a moment. Seeing that he had been looking at him, and when he saw the hand with wrinkles and old spots was still stretching there, he stretched out his hand.
Xu Jie grabbed the back of his hand and said with complex feelings: "Marriage and family affairs. Please give me my words!"
He was almost seventy years old, and this grip was still so powerful. He held his silent hand tightly, and he couldn't feel any warmth. He felt very uncomfortable, but his face was very calm: "Please rest assured, teacher, I will do my best."
"Haha..." Xu Jie slowly pulled his hand back and said to himself: "Actually, I have retired. What does state affairs have to do with me? I am used to worrying and can't change it for a while, which makes me laugh."
"When you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king." He said silently and seriously: "The teacher can't let go of the emperor and the court."
"Yes..." Xu Jie sighed deeply, "I can't let go of three things in my heart, and I have to worry about my words."
"Please speak with your teacher." Nodded silently.
"First, there is no need to hide it. My retirement this time was too sudden, and my successor Gao Xinzheng" was very disgusting with me. I am afraid that when he first returned to the capital, it would be the day when the villain swayed and provoked right and wrong." Speaking of political affairs, Xu Jie faintly showed the momentum of a prime minister of a country and said: "At this time, be careful of slander and instigation, and do not let villains take advantage of the opportunity to avoid chaos in the court.
Nodded silently.
"Second, it's no secret that censors have made bad sheep. Some opportunistic tricks, selling straightforward reputation... and even people with bad intentions." Xu Jie continued with a complicated expression: "It is necessary for censors to rectify, but they cannot even throw away the children in the basin in order to pour dirty water." As he said, his face said: "I have no selfish thoughts on this. Those in power don't like censors, because these people always stare at you, give you opinions, ask questions, and impeach you at any time. But you have to know that the Ming Dynasty can continue to this day, without the supervision of these people, it is absolutely possible... The bitter medicine is good for the disease. The censor system itself is not wrong. Some individual problems should not be a reason to suppress the censors' team!" He paused, and he said: "Any dictatorial tyranny starts with the clampdown of the path of speech, and cannot be used to eliminate!"
Mo nodded again. He agreed with this statement.
"Third, this is a private matter." Speaking of this, Xu Jie said in a flash: "My unscrupulous sons are one by one."
Silently said, "In fact, this is what you are most worried about!" Of course he knew that although Lao Xu was a gentleman who said that he would do good and get rid of evil, his sons were really disgusting second-generation ancestors."
Xu Jie's three sons who stayed at home were Su Song's dominance and occupied the people's land. "He did evil and ignored the people, and the people hated him to the core: Xu Pan in Beijing was also good. Relying on my power, he ate a lot of shops in prime locations at a low price, and then rented them out. He sat at home and made a fortune every day, which caused a very bad impact.
In fact, the censor had already impeached several sons of Mr. Xu, but the time for the election was very bad. Under the background of rising and falling, it would of course be regarded as a slander against Mr. Xu, and then gently exposed it. However, in order to eliminate the pressure of public opinion, Xu Jie ordered Xu Pan to retire and leave the capital. All the invaded shops were returned to the original owner. Everyone praised the prime minister's selflessness.
However, he went silently to understand the inside story. He knew that Xu Fan had taken away all the industries in Beijing, but did not return them to the original owner, but half transferred them to a name named Lu Fang, and half transferred to a name named Li Yang, Li Yang. He was the son of Xu Jie's disciple Lu De and Li Xiang, and he played the trick of left pocket to right pocket.
I sing, Confucius and Mencius, my son scattered people's wealth, and his family took all the good things in the Ming Dynasty! I dare to blame Xu Jie for worrying that if someone borrowed those bastards to punish him by this retreat, I was really unsure. I could only ask Zhang Juzheng and Shen Mo to help take care of him.
A sense of disgust arose in Chen Si's heart, but he nodded calmly and said, "A few brothers in Shi have done something wrong. But I'll try to be careful. But I must change it in the future."
"Thank you." Xu Jie shook his silent hand hard again. But his hand was even colder than just now.
One “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one
At the time of the year, hundreds of officials had gathered on the dock of the official ship in Tongzhou. Although the officials had already sent Xu Ge Lao collectively in the capital, there were still more than a hundred loyal officials who insisted on coming to Tongzhou to send him on the boat.
Xu Jie was not very happy about the behavior of these people. Isn’t this causing trouble for him? But these are all his hardcore. They scolded the performers and played the gongs again. In short, they were the hairy dogs on the wilderness and could not be driven away, so they could only let them follow.
In fact, these people are not just for sending off Mr. Xu. But one with a small plan, they want to express their anger to the emperor; secondly, they also want to take this opportunity to get together to discuss how to face the destined bleak future.
After last night's consultation, they had made a decision to unite closely, advance and retreat together, and do whatever they do, under the banner of Mr. Xu. Although the old man has left, his disciples and former officials are all over the world and can still shelter from wind and rain.
Today they want to let the world see how loyal they are to Mr. Xu and are completely connected with him!
So before the Xu Jie people arrived, the dock was already filled with sorrow. All the officials who came to see them off were brewing feelings and preparing to have a touching separation later.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a team of Jinyiwei surrounded a carriage and a sedan slowly came on the street in the distance.
"Here, come..." The officials were in a state of turmoil.
Soon, the team stopped at the dock. The Jinyiwei formed an isolation circle and no one was allowed to approach. A guard held a horse stool under the carriage and then called the car door.
The officials squeezed towards the car door. In order to let Mr. Xu see his sad expression, many people were squeezing tears. Those who had not been able to cook their feelings had to use their own tricks and twist the inner side of their thighs...
Just when everyone was posing as if they were betrayed, they found that the legs and feet that were getting out of the car were obviously more flexible than the old man. After standing together, they couldn't help but be stunned... It turned out to be Mr. Chen.
Even though he was silent, he ignored them, reached out to the carriage, and helped the old master Xu down who everyone wanted.
However, the feelings just now were in vain. No one could cry, and they all looked at them dumbly. The two who were like father and son.
Their minds were full of questions... Didn't it mean that the master and apprentice turned against each other? Did Mr. Xu hate Mr. Chen so much? How could he explain the hand they held tightly? And Mr. Chen came to see him off from the south, and it turns out that people couldn't believe it all.
Seeing the officials' surprise expressions, Xu Jie glanced at the silent ones, meaning, boy, this is the idea you are trying to do.
Chen Si coughed lightly, held his hand tightly to Xu Jie and said, "Teacher, the student will send you on the boat."
Jie Zhao nodded and said, "Thank you for coming here to see me, please take care of me..." With the help of Shen Mo, he boarded the official ship that had been installed in the well.
It was not until Xu Jie got on the boat that the officials came to their senses and there was still a lot of things they didn't say. Now they couldn't say anything, so what should I do? Just cry.
So everyone knelt down at Xu Jie and started crying.
1, one "one" "one "one" "one "one", one "one", one "one "one", one "one "one", one "one", one "one "one", one "one "one"
Xu Jie's eyes were also wet, but not because of the officials who were crying, but because of the sudden discovery. This was forty-five years ago. When he was twenty-one, he first came to Beijing for the exam. He got off the boat at that time.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, honor, disgrace, joy and sorrow are like passing clouds and smoke. Now, everything has returned...
Xu Jie finally realized what things are different. Forty-five years, the appearance of this dock has almost not changed, but he has changed from the passionate young talent back then to a tired retired prime minister.
Memories are like rushing river water, which will continue to flow once the gate is opened. Xu Jie remembered again that thirty-eight years ago, when he was 28 years old, he angered the then prime minister Zhang Cong because of his righteousness, and his future was destroyed. His family was destroyed and his people were sent to the wild land. That time, it was also the boat on the way here.
