Two hundred and twentieth chapters face saint (three)

It has been more than an hour since Yan Song, the old man, could still hold on, but Yan Shifan was a little restless.

Since Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan, except for the cabinet and some favored ministers, there have been few court officials. Even Yan Song himself was able to stay for half an hour... Of course, this is also related to Yan Song's age.

"It's really Jane's heart." Yan Shifan complained: "That's when he's still young, he may not be able to pass the Jinshi next year, otherwise he will be Li Mo again!"

Yan Song frowned and scolded, "Don't you know what happened in the past two or three years? How can you underestimate this?"

"Yes, yes, it is said that teahouses in the southeast do not talk about "The Legend of Loyalty and Righteousness in Water Margin". "Yan Shifan's eyes rolled, "Zhao Wenhua has a good relationship with him, so look for time..."

Yan Song nodded slightly and closed his eyes again.

As early as Qian Yuan went to Hangzhou for the first time, he became a bookmaker. Now the words about him are circulating in various parts of Jiangnan. However, today, he has made a guest appearance as a storyteller.

"It's really a coincidence that I can't make a book." Emperor Jiajing sighed: "It's this why you survived."

"No wonder, no wonder." Huang Jin said, "It happened that the Japanese pirate's guide was injured, and the thief happened to know that you were from the medicine shop, so he didn't kill you."

"It's a blessing to be lucky." Qian Yuan spread his hands and said, "The most important thing is that he doesn't know who I am."

"Yes, yes, you caught all the bandits in Jiading City, but you missed this one. Fortunately, he didn't know that you were Qian Yuan." Huang Jin had a cold sweat for Qian Yuan, and those days were almost leaping on the edge of the cliff.

"After that, you kept following the Japanese pirates to Taiping Prefecture?" Emperor Jiajing took the booklet and looked at it, "Outside Nanling County, someone saw you exploring the way for the Japanese pirates."

"And he is alone." Qian Yuan said calmly: "The student said that he would not hide anything from His Majesty."

Taking a deep breath, Qian Yuan whispered: "Actually, before that, the students had the opportunity to escape, and they were in Jingxian."

"I remember it was at the entrance of a medicine shop..."

Qian Yuan, who was gradually falling into memories, had a distorted face. The harassment of the gangsters, the shining sword light that cut through the sky, the crowded people who were trampled down, the young woman who was struck, the baby who was still ignorant and only knew how to laugh, and the blood on Li Fu's long sword.

The low words slowly rang in the hall, and the messy and unordered narration made Emperor Jiajing's smile gradually calm down. As far as he saw the tears flashing in Qian Yuan's eyes and the ruthless color behind the sadness.

"You could have escaped easily, but you finally chose to stay."

"The student knew there were wolves behind him and the guards were chasing him. He should escape and join him before turning back, but..."

"A brave act is stupid but bloody." Emperor Jiajing sighed: "A few days ago, Zhao Wenhua talked to someone that Qian Zhancai escorted his family to Hangzhou, but returned to Songjiang alone."

Qian Yuan looked up after being silent for a moment, "But the students don't regret it."

Emperor Jiajing stared at Qian Yuan's eyes and nodded for a long time, "There is no more youth... It's great, don't think so much."

Emperor Jiajing was worried. When he first ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe, who had fought against the power of the government and the opposition, didn't think so much at that time... he just couldn't swallow that breath.

"After that day, the students explored the way for the Japanese pirates in the daytime, cooked food for the Japanese pirates in the evening, and increased the amount of medicine tentatively..." Qian Yuan felt like a dream, "Every late at night, get up to test... until that night in Taiping Mansion."

After a moment of silence, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said, "If the Japanese pirates attack Nandu, I will go to Taimiao to kneel down and apologize.

Speaking of which, I want to thank you."

Qian Yuan was panicked and hurriedly bowed, "It is the duty of a student to eliminate thieves for the country and your Majesty to eliminate thieves."

"Get up, get up." Emperor Jiajing shook his head. If those Japanese pirates really attacked Nanjing, he would probably have issued a self-criticism.

Close your eyes and think about it all in your mind. Emperor Jiajing did not find any loopholes in Qian Yuan’s story. He was well organized and thoughtful, and then he felt relieved.

"Your Majesty, it's time to pass the meal." Huang Jin whispered.

Emperor Jiajing stood up and waved his sleeves, "Give food."

Qian Yuan had no choice but to fall to the ground again. Being able to eat with the emperor was a reward to his ministers... But Qian Yuan really didn't want such a reward. It was the sixth time he knelt down. He talked about it every time, but he didn't say that he didn't have to kneel down!

A row of eunuchs entered the hall with dishes in their hands, and the long table was quickly filled with various dishes. Qian Yuan looked closely and said that they should be all specially for the palace in Jingdezhen. If they were placed in later generations, they would be good things that could be auctioned.

Look at the dishes in the dishes, most of them are meat dishes. Although Emperor Jiajing was nominally practicing Taoism, in fact, this guy could not eat vegetables and tofu. Besides, there were no vegetables in Beijing in winter. Even if there were a large number of vegetables grown in hot springs, the imperial kitchen would not dare to report them. Otherwise, if the emperor could eat them well, everyone would have to hang themselves.

Huang Jin personally took a pair of chopsticks and put them in front of Qian Yuan. He was thinking that the emperor's chef skills should be unique. Huang Jin suddenly shouted, "Try the food!"

The two eunuchs picked up silver chopsticks and tried all the dishes. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was no surprise. Huang Jin then said, "Your Majesty, you can eat."

Qian Yuan flattened his mouth slightly. Is that bowl of chicken or muntjac? It was steaming just now, but now it is completely cold. You know it is winter!

Emperor Jiajing looked at Qian Yuan with a smile and said, "It is said that I am rich in the world, but eating hot dishes is also a luxury."

Qian Yuan blinked and tentatively said, "Students have heard a joke."

"Tell me, when the vegetables are cold in winter, I'll just use a joke to serve them."

"Three years ago, a student went to Nanjing for a rural examination and was sent to a village for recuperation on the road. An old man who was said to be knowledgeable said that if the emperor was hungry, he would just eat a bite of ginseng. Another old man said that the emperor used a golden hoe when he went to the ground..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing and Huang Jin both laughed loudly, and even the palace maids and eunuchs on the side couldn't help but distorted their faces and covered their mouths and smiled secretly.

"Look at you being serious, but you are so kind." Emperor Jiajing pointed at Qian Yuan and cursed for a few times. He was stunned and stood up and flipped over the table beside him, and turned around and smiled, "Three years ago, was he seriously ill?"

Emperor Jiajing summoned Qian Yuan, and Lu Bing had already delivered all kinds of information about Qian Yuan that he had found to the imperial court. Naturally, he would not miss the one Qian Yuan and Xu Fan on Suzhou Street three years ago.

"Meng Lang, a young student." Qian Yuan stood up and said ashamed.

Emperor Jiajing sat down and picked up the chopsticks, and said unintentionally: "Huating is not compatible with your uncle, and you are not compatible with Huating's son."

Qian Yuan tentatively said: "The students who turned back apologized in person..."

"That's your business." Emperor Jiajing waved his chopsticks expressionlessly, "Stay eating, don't leave the palace with hunger."

Qian Yuan naturally understood this sentence and went to Xu Fan to apologize... In the past two years, it is no exaggeration to say that he has offended Xu Jie so hard.

At first, Xu Jie passed the test of his in-laws Zhang family. The next day Qian Yuan went straight to Nie Bao. Later, Yang Yi was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang and had almost no real power. Although it was mainly because Hu Zongxian had Zhao Wenhua's support, Tian Zhoulang soldier did not listen to the orders of the governor and only listened to the governor. This was a major reason.

The Tianzhou wolf soldiers were assigned by Hu Zongxian, partly because of Hu Zongxian, and partly because of Qian Yuan... Xu Jie is also from Huating, so why don’t you know the close relationship between Qian Yuan and Tianzhou wolf soldiers?

However, Qian Yuan did not plan to cause trouble for Xu Fan. After all, he had a father who was the second assistant to the cabinet... But Xu Fan had the urge to come to cause trouble for Qian Yuan.

Similar to the so-called Beijing Office in later generations, there were similar institutions in this era. Each province had guild halls in Beijing. Among them, there were no provincial guild halls in Nanzhili, only government-level guild halls, such as Songjiang guild halls.

"Go out, go out!"

"This is a guild hall that supplies the examination candidates. What are the things that a group of rough embryos come in!"

Although he has a bad temper, Zhang San also knew that he could not cause trouble for the young master now. He swallowed his anger and took the person out, but did not spit out Qian Yuan's name.

But as soon as the group walked out of the door, Xu Fan, who was shaking his fan in the middle of winter, came towards him, and his eyes lit up and pointed at Zhang San, "This cat is good."
