Chapter 272 Lord Yu’s treat
The reason why Zhang Juzheng took this responsibility so actively was not because he wanted to show his ability and ability in front of Zhu Zaijing, but because the current Prince Yin of Shuntian Prefecture Youzhao is His mentor Xu Jie single-handedly promoted him.
So, in terms of relationship affiliation, Wang Youzhao can be regarded as a Qingliu sect.
Of course Qingliu is a very broad concept. Even some people on Yan Song’s side often call themselves Qingliu and do not consider themselves to be the so-called strict party.
So trying to use symbols like Qingliu or Yandang to distinguish the relationship between them is destined to be a mess.
Therefore, if you want to distinguish between Qingliu and Yandang, you must trace the relationship back to the source and see that the root of the relationship between the two parties is by the river.
But if this is the case, the so-called Qingliu is actually not Qingliu, but Xu Dang.
It’s just that the Xu Party has not yet formed a party, and the reason why it is called Qingliu is only because Yan Song is so powerful that most of the people he promoted and appointed occupied important positions in the court.
That's why Yan Song's people were called the Yan Party by the Qingliu who did not get power and positions.
And these so-called Qingliu are actually just another group who want to replace them.
When one day they really become powerful, they may also be called a party by those who have not gained power, and those who call them this will automatically include themselves in Qingliu.
To put it bluntly, it is actually interests and position that lead to the so-called clean flow and the so-called strict party.
It was not because the strict party harmed the country and the people that they banded together and became a clean stream.
The reason why they unite together is actually to replace them. Calling themselves Qingliu is just to put gold on their faces before they gain power and let others see how upright they are for the country.
But to be honest, how many people are truly clean and upright?
Most people are just superficial moral gentlemen. God knows how much land they have used their status to annex in their respective hometowns, how many servants they have accepted, and how many manors they have built, so that their families and younger generations can enjoy cooking. Playing the harp over tea and reciting poems is the life of a gentleman.
Therefore, the first reaction of scholars from ancient times to the present when they become officials is to honor their ancestors, rather than the so-called self-cultivation, governing the country and bringing peace to the world.
And most of the people who like to say this are just bitter people who have not yet been admitted to the imperial examination.
So, sometimes just listen to the righteous words of scholars, but never take them seriously. If you must take it seriously, then you need to take a closer look at what the person who said this has done, and see if what he did really deserves this sentence.
If he is worthy, then he is a righteous gentleman; if not, then he is a morally hypocritical hypocrite.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing no longer relies on the history he knows when looking at people and doing things.
The history he knows is now at most a reference when he sees someone.
If Zhu Zaijing really wants to value a person, then he must have some practical and real skills.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was so big, with nearly 200 million people. Even if only 1% of them were literate, there were still two million people. Among the two million scholars who could read, there must be many who were eloquent. .
So just expecting to be able to speak, and wanting Zhu Zaijing to think that he is capable, is absolutely impossible. Now that Zhang Juzheng is willing to take the initiative to take on the task, Zhu Zaijing naturally wants to see what young Zhang Juzheng is really capable of!
When the matter reached this point, the key issues were almost discussed. Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui with a smile, "Just now, I said that I wouldn't invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye. It’s time for dinner. Meng Chong went to see if lunch was ready in the dining hall. I will invite three gentlemen to have lunch together at noon today."
Meng Chong said quickly. : "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my servants have already prepared it. You and the gentlemen can go to the restaurant to have a meal at any time."
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "Okay, let's go and prepare it later. I will go over with the three gentlemen."
After Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui heard Zhu Zaijing's words, the three of them also stood up and bowed to Zhu Zaijing, "Thank you, Your Majesty. .”
At this time, Zhu Zaijing picked up the tea cup again, took a sip, and said, "We can brew it again. Let's go have a meal after drinking this cup of Dahongpao."
Gao Gong and the others heard this. , thanked Zhu Zaijing again, and then the others relaxed and the conversation became less formal.
Zhu Zaijing said to Gao Gong and Hai Rui: "Mr. Gao, Hai Juan, what's Dr. Li's prescription like? Now can he show his glory again, and there is hope for heirs?"
< br>Gao Gong and Hai Rui were slightly embarrassed when they heard Zhu Zaijing's words, but overall they were still very relaxed and cheerful.
Gao Gong has been childless for many years, and this has always been a worry for him. Ever since Zhu Zaijing learned about this problem, Zhu Zaijing asked Li Shizhen to diagnose his pulse many times, hoping to help him. He solves problems.
But Hai Rui's case is not that serious. Hai Rui's problem is that his family is poor, so he and his wife simply cannot keep up with nutrition. Therefore, there is nothing special between Hai Rui and his wife in terms of children. Awesome.
Now with Zhu Zaijing's help, Hai Rui's life has naturally improved. Although it is not a well-off life with meat every meal, at least he can eat meat every now and then.
So Hai Rui's problem has been solved, and according to Hai Rui's old mother's wishes, Hai Rui will now have two concubines to expand the Hai family.
It can be said that Hai Rui has a very heavy task now, and the various relationships in the family are also quite complicated.
Zhu Zaijing expressed his sympathy for this.
After all, where there are more women, there are more right and wrong. Coupled with the traditional etiquette and filial piety, he will definitely not be relaxed at home. Maybe it will be even harder after returning home than at work.
But Zhu Zaijing cannot help with these problems. Hai Rui can only deal with them himself.
Gao Gong smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I have been doing much better recently. Dr. Li said that if I follow his recipe for another year and a half, I might be able to have an heir." "
Zhu Zaijing was also surprised when he heard this. He immediately congratulated Gao Gong and said: "This is a good thing. It seems that the king wants to reward Dr. Li well and let him specialize. They will be divided into another department to study this area of knowledge."
After talking about these light-hearted topics and finishing the tea, Zhu Zaijing took Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Hai. After Rui and the others washed up briefly, the four of them went to eat in the restaurant in the palace.
The food in the palace is still as light as ever, so Gao Gong, a Henan native, Zhang Juzheng, a Hubei native, and Hai Rui, a Hainan native, don't have much scruples about taste and just start eating.
