Chapter 409 Pleading for Reconciliation

Chapter 409 Pleading for Reconciliation

Both Shi Xing and Zhao Nanxing nodded in agreement.

Chen Jingbang smiled because of this, and then looked out the window.

On this day in the 13th year of Wanli, the three people who were shining brightly in the setting sun in spring all frowned for the entire scholarly community.

They knew that Zhang Juzheng was very important today, which meant that Zhang Juzheng's son was likely to become a lucky person because of this, and Shilin was likely to face Zhang's revenge at that time.

Therefore, they were all a little uneasy, and hoped that Zhang Jingxiu could really ignore the past.

At this time, Shi Xing couldn't help but look at Zhao Nanxing: "The public has been serving as the merit examination department for so long, and I don't know that after the end of his Ding You, he will ask his son to reinstate him as an official on the grounds that the merits of Taiyue's assistant prime minister cannot be wiped out! And then express the goodwill of the entire scholarly society, so that the next talk will naturally be easier.”

"I'm not ashamed of Taiyue's old party, why would I care about its descendants?"

"I planned not to mention this person if I didn't mention it!"

"In this way, it's best for him, Zhang Siwen, to stay in Chudi for the rest of his life. Who knows that he is restless. He came to Beijing as soon as Ding You was over. I don't know if he is too eager to ask for an official, or someone is too eager to use him!"

Zhao Nanxing said with some annoyance.

Chen Jingbang said: "At this time and at that time, since he has entered Beijing and wants to enter this vanity fair, we have to be wary of villains appearing in the court who make things difficult for gentlemen!"

"Like Zhang Yongjia back in the day, things got worse after he returned to Beijing! But as the saying goes, courtesy first and soldiers later, if we can reconcile, let's reconcile. After all, the emperor's will does not punish, and we have to follow the holy will and remember the friendship of scholars."

"Never mind!"

Zhao Nanxing sighed, and said: "Then I will ask an order to repay him with kindness after I go back!"

"If it's not possible, hire him a high-ranking idle civil servant. Not only is it a favor, but it also prevents him from being used as a Jinyi guard by a party in Shenwu County with a favor, so that he has the opportunity to arrest hundreds of officials!"

"Exactly!"

"It's really not possible, let him use his father's merits to attack an earl and marquis, and then ask for an order to transfer him to Nanjing."

Shi Qing followed suit.

Zhao Nanxing nodded: "Alright, when the time comes, I will talk to him on the grounds that I used to be a prisoner in the Guozijian. Today, I respect my teacher too much, so I also love his Zhang family. We, the courtiers, have to Follow up to think of his father's kindness to assist the country, and use famous utensils for him!"

"It's just that if he, Zhang Siwen, knows how to be a true gentleman, he should know what it means to repay grievances with virtue, and he should take the initiative to make peace with scholars!"

"This is what a real gentleman does!"

……

"Young master Zhang is the son of Mr. Zhang, the former grand master. He has the legacy of the grand master, so he must be able to uphold the ambition of the grand master and do something for the country."

Zhang Jingxiu had the badge that Zhu Yijun gave him to go straight into the palace, so he went straight into the palace, and first met Li Wen, the clerk and eunuch.

Li Wen was talking with Zhang Jingxiu when he took Zhang Jingxiu to see Zhu Yijun in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhang Jingxiu smiled slightly and said: "Students are less talented and less learned, how dare they catch up with their late fathers. They only have a heart to serve their father. If they can do their best, it will be enough."

"Your Majesty has gone to Xiyuan to inspect the project! Please come back this afternoon, my lord."

Unfortunately, when Zhang Jingxiu came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Tian Yi, the eunuch of Zhidian, told him that Zhu Yijun was not there.

Zhang Jingxiu had no choice but to go back to his home and wait.

Zhang Juzheng has his own residence in the capital, and he has left some people to live in the capital residence, so Zhang Jingxiu does not need to find accommodation now.

It's just that as soon as Zhang Jingxiu came back, he saw many carriages gathered in front of his house, and many beautifully decorated boxes were being carried down.

Zhang Jingxiu then asked Zhang Maoxiu who had already greeted him: "What's going on?"

"They somehow found out about our coming to the capital. The princes and dignitaries all sent gifts, saying that they were afraid that we would not be able to get all the clothes and bedding when we first arrived in the capital, and my younger brother was declining one by one."

Zhang Maoxiu replied.

After Zhang Jingxiu heard this, he chuckled: "If it wasn't for the emperor's kindness, I'm afraid that now it will only be neglected in front of the door."

As Zhang Jingxiu said, Huang Hong, Zhao Nanxing's servant, came and handed over the post:

"My lord, please show me your honor. My lord has come to invite you to come to the house. Now he is waiting in the carriage, and he also said that he had agreed with you in advance."

Zhang Jingxiu took the post after hearing it, and after reading it, he asked, "Where is your old carriage?"

Huang Hong pointed, and then led Zhang Jingxiu towards Zhao Nanxing.

As soon as Zhao Nanxing saw Zhang Jingxiu getting into the carriage, he smiled and said:

"As soon as I see you Siwen coming to Beijing today, I can't wait to see you again, otherwise, I don't think about eating and drinking!"

"Why is the minister here?"

"Students are nothing but a filial piety."

Zhang Jingxiu said humbly.

Zhao Nanxing said with a smile: "Your heir is not as simple as a filial and honest person. The son of the emperor's teacher has a profound family education. If you become an official, you will be extraordinary."

"Bu Lang's words are serious, my father is my father, I have never dared to rely on my father's merits!"

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

Zhao Nanxing waved his hand: "Don't be humble, Siwen. With your talent and learning, there is no problem with the middle rank. Now that Ding You is over, you should start your career, but for the sake of the court, I don't want you to start your career first. Re-entering an official position will take too long, and it will easily attract criticism, so I have long planned to ask the emperor to let you enter the official position with grace."

"I've already written the book!"

"I planned to submit it a long time ago. It just so happens that you have come to Beijing in person, so there is no reason for me to delay."

As Zhao Nanxing said, he handed the memorial to Zhang Jingxiu: "Siwen can take a look to see if I'm lying."

"Thanks to the Ministry Minister who values ​​it so much, but I have little virtue and talent, how dare I use my father's merits to ask for an official, and it is not easy to interfere in the affairs of the court. The Ministry Minister can follow the rules, don't ask me! To avoid suspicion of favoritism."

"Even if you really want to ask for the favor of the imperial court, please don't go too far, the students can't bear it!"

Zhang Jingxiu didn't take the memorial, but got up and bowed his hands and said.

Zhao Nanxing couldn't help being startled, and then smiled happily in his heart and agreed: "Okay!"

Then, Zhao Nanxing said again: "Siwen, there are some old things, let them go if you can!"

"What did the boss say?"

Zhang Jingxiu suddenly pretended to be puzzled and asked with a smile.

Zhao Nanxing couldn't help being embarrassed, so he said with a sarcastic smile:

"I know that your Siwen is a gentleman, not a villain who loves to take personal revenge! What happened before some scholars in the scholastic community took revenge on your house, it was too much!"

"But let him go with the wind!"

"After all, most of the scholarly colleagues are virtuous, and most of them are gentlemen; moreover, everyone is a member of the scholarly community, so we should be lenient with each other, and it is better to repay grievances with virtue, and work together, not forgetting your majesty's ambition, And do things for the country and society.”

"What do you say?"

After Zhao Nanxing said it, he asked Zhang Jingxiu.

Zhao Nanxing's words were very clear, he wanted Zhang Jingxiu to be magnanimous, not to be too fussy about the Zhang family's plot to retaliate against the former scholar-official class, to be a gentleman, not a villain.

After Zhang Jingxiu pondered for a while, he didn't ask Zhao Nanxing if his grandfather was dug up by scholars, his father was conspired by scholars to destroy his bones and ashes, and his family was conspired by scholars to seize the property and destroy his family. I thought about repaying my Zhang family with virtue, but only said:

"I understand what the minister said. No matter what, it is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the father. I dare not violate your majesty's will! I will not argue with the gentleman!"

After hearing this, Zhao Nanxing nodded and smiled, feeling more and more satisfied with Zhang Jingxiu, and then suddenly asked: "Now Shenwu County is in power, and with his fellow party, they are aiming to establish a new ceremony. I don't know what Siwen thinks?"
