During the banquet, animals in the mountains, swallows in the clouds, cattle and sheep on land, seafood under the sea, hericium bird's nest, shark's fin, scallops with bear's paw and deer's tail tip, all of them are special, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
It is the snow that is flying, but it can't stop the happy atmosphere.
Corresponding.
It was countless carriages carrying heavy gifts, which were introduced by the butler through the back door, and then the gift list was sealed for the master's inspection.
Ye Shoufu did not participate in the celebration banquet because he was "unwell", and Ye Chengchang, as the "master", entertained the guests with wine as a matter of course.
In the shouts of "Old Xiaoge", her face became more and more red. I don't know whether it is the daughter who has been drunk for 50 years or whether she is drunk by herself.
Inside the study.
Isolated from the noise of the courtyard.
Ye Shoufu hunched over, half lying down, reading an ancient book, and boiled a catty-heavy grass carp in a teapot, slowly gurgling over a small fire.
Soon.
The scent of fish meat and prickly ash aniseed slowly wafted out, and Ye Shoufu knocked on the desk.
The housekeeper Ye Fu heard the sound, opened the door and came in, put the cut tofu into the pot, and continued to simmer.
"Master, it's cold this year, and silver carp fall early. The family sent someone to ask, do you want to send some?"
Ye Fu put the lid on the pot, adjusted the primer, and waited until it was just right, he said gently.
Her hair was combed meticulously, her beard was gray but neatly trimmed, especially her eyes were piercing and piercing.
It can be seen that he is a serious and energetic person.
He was Ye Shoufu's former book boy, and now he has been the housekeeper for more than 40 years.
He is very clear about his master's preferences.
My favorite food is fish.
It is similar to the time and method of eating fish in Suzhou folk proverbs.
"In the first month, pond snakeheads have thin meat heads, and in February, peach-blossom mandarin fish are fat;
In March, soft-shelled turtle nourishes the body, and in April, shad and shallots are added;
White fish eat belly in May, and bream is as fresh as chicken in June;
Braised eel in soy sauce in July, and squid in August to eat lungs;
Crucian carp fortress meat in September, and grass carp tooth-beating sacrifice in October;
In November, silver carp eats only the head, and in December, herring eats the tail. "
It's October.
So the master ate grass carp.
But the grass carp is spiny, so it is no longer suitable for the master to eat. It happens that the silver carp is born early and can be changed.
"No need!"
Ye Shoufu shook his head, sat up and opened the lid of the pot, took a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and tasted it carefully, and said with satisfaction afterward: "Ah Fu, it must be your skill!"
"Master likes to eat as long as he likes it. Today is three happy days. Would you like some wine?"
"Ah Fu, you have been with me for so many years, do you think today is a good day?"
"The third young master thinks so."
Ah Fu didn't answer directly, he fetched bowls and chopsticks for Ye Shoufu, and replied.
The tea is warm and suitable for drinking.
"Slippery!"
Ye Shoufu knocked down the bowl with his chopsticks very impolitely, looked towards the courtyard, and said with emotion: "Guowu (Ye Chengchang), haven't you been this happy in ten years?"
"In the 45th year of Wanli, the third young master was a high school Jinshi. The whole family celebrated with joy. This year, it will be exactly ten years."
"Ah Fu, is it because I have no way to teach my son?"
"Eldest young master, Meng Yin entered the Imperial Academy and was the first in Chinese studies. Later, he served as Si Cheng in Shang Baocheng, in charge of the seal, mansion plaque, and seal, without making any mistakes for several years.
Unfortunately, it was not the master's fault that he died early.
The second young master, a Jinshi in the 40th year of Wanli, was awarded the county magistrate of Changzhou.
During his term of office, bad policies were abolished, expenditures were cut, and violators were severely punished.
Because of the second young master's honesty and integrity, he was promoted to serve as a censor. Later, the second young master proposed ten strategies for border defense, which won the approval of Emperor Wanli.
Not long after, when he was inspecting Jiangyou, the second young master accepted the opinions of all the people, dealt with them well, and the territory was awe-inspiring.
During his tenure in the Ministry of Rites, he rectified the imperial examination system and recruited talents from all over the world. He worked very hard. Finally, he was promoted to Dali Temple Minister.
In those ten years, the second young master did not rely on you or the help of his family. He was promoted from being the county magistrate of the seventh rank to the minister of the Dali Temple of the third rank by virtue of his strength.
In the early years, there were rumors in the market that the Ye family wanted a biphasic school, and countless people expressed their conviction.
In order to rehabilitate ordinary people, the second young master offended Zhu Chunchen, Duke Cheng, and was dismissed by the Duke's government. Many officials came to express their regrets and asked whether they would use their strength to restore their official reputation.
Your refusal has been slandered by many people, but from the beginning to the end, no one said that the second young master is not a talent.
Third young master, it's normal for you to get carried away when you're young, so don't think too much about it. "
Ye Fu was talking, without stopping, adding broth to the pot.
Make sure the bottom of the pot doesn't boil dry.
"Having said that, time doesn't wait for me!"
Ye Shoufu put down his chopsticks, and said in a deep voice: "I have been fighting with Wei Zhongxian for seven years, and I believe that no one in this world knows him better than me!
Cruel and decisive, but spare your life!
Wei Zhongxian, a young man, entered the palace because of gambling, and served beside the Emperor Tianqi, who was still the grandson of the emperor. He faced the Wei Dynasty through Emperor Tianqi's great companion Wang An, and Mrs. Fengsheng, and kept climbing up!
In the end, he became a new opponent with the Fengsheng wife Hakka, and after Emperor Tianqi succeeded to the throne, he secured his position as the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies!
Under the instruction of Emperor Tianqi, the Eunuch Party was established and became the powerful "Nine Thousand Years of Ming Dynasty"!
Step by step, Wei Zhongxian killed Wang An, dispatched the Wei Dynasty, and killed hundreds of officials including Donglin, Zhe Chuqi and others!
Is it normal that a person who stepped on the bones all the way to the top suddenly destroyed everything he owned? "
"For those who cherish their lives, there is only one possibility to make them give up everything, and that is the imminent threat of death."
Ye Fu scooped up the almost boiled fish into a clean bowl, and gave his own judgment without any emotional ups and downs.
"I thought the same way. With such doubts, I seriously thought about the person who could bring such a great threat to Wei Zhongxian, until I thought of His Majesty the New Emperor!"
Ye Shoufu picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, sighed and said: "Everything about Wei Zhongxian comes from the trust of the imperial power, the previous emperor died, only when the new emperor expresses his thoughts, can Wei Zhongxian be so frightened that he can destroy the entire eunuch party!
In other words, it was not Wei Zhongxian who killed the eunuchs, but His Majesty!
In order to prove this idea, I pretended to be asleep in Dongnuan Pavilion, trying to lose my dignity in front of the imperial court, and test His Majesty's attitude towards me and the Donglin Party!
But Your Majesty, it was easily uncovered, without any fuss!
My intuition tells me that it's not that His Majesty is getting close to me or the Donglin Party!
Therefore, I donated more than 200 million taels of silver to solve the disaster in Jiliao, and to test His Majesty again!
I thought that His Majesty would happily accept it, that His Majesty shook his head and refused, and even thought that His Majesty would question the source of the Ye family's wealth!
But Your Majesty, calmly accepted all the silver offerings, without even a single verbal commendation!
At that time, I realized that the crisis belonging to the Ye family was coming!
Faced with the huge wealth owned by his courtiers, it is impossible for the emperor not to be curious. If there is no action on the surface, then the danger must be in the dark!
If His Majesty sets his sights on the wealth of the Ye family, I am willing to give it to you!
I'm afraid, His Majesty wants the lives of the Ye family!
Things are pretty much what I expected!
Three imperial edicts and three sinkholes fell on the Ye family's head!
If you are not careful, the Ye family will fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces!
Guo Wen (Ye Chengzhang), Yan Jun, I am not worried, only Guo Wu..."
Chapter 21 The imperial concubine's dowry, Ye Xiang chooses
As the saying goes: Stand at thirty!
Ye Chengchang is just 30 years old!
But he has no sense of the coming crisis.
Simple and kind.
Often life is not long.
"Ah Fu, I don't want white-haired people to give black-haired people away!"
Ye Shoufu said in pain with tears in his eyes.
that year.
The eldest son died young.
As the chief assistant, and when the battle for the crown prince was at its most intense, he couldn't let anyone see his flaws.
With an attitude of indifference, he argued hard throughout the whole process without giving in an inch, forcing Emperor Wanli and the officials sent by King Fu to back down.
It made King Fu leave Beijing to go to the fiefdom to become a vassal, maintaining the legitimacy of the prince and crown prince.
People in the world often say: Ye Xiang is loyal to the country and forgets his family.
Only Ye Fu knew.
On the night that the young master died of illness, the master turned gray all night.
In order to hide this matter, during the interval before the early court, he dyed his black hair back with lotus seed grass.
The pain of losing a son again, I'm afraid the master's body won't be able to bear it first.
"Master, since you are here, please rest assured."
Ye Fu fished out a few pieces of tofu, put them in the master's bowl, and said without raising his head: "Although there are not many choices left for the master, there are still some.
For one thing, the eunuchs are gone, and Donglin Academy is alone in the imperial court. As the leader of Donglin Academy, if you want to do something, you will only consider the size of the matter, and don't think about whether it can be done.
For example, change someone on the dragon chair. "
Hugh!
Ye Shoufu let go of the tea bowl and smashed it on the table. Bowls, chopsticks, fish, tofu and other things were scattered all over the table.
"Usurping the throne?"
"My lord, you are confused."
Ye Fu saw that the master was in a panic, cleared the table, and said in a low voice: "The country's vitality is not exhausted, and if you want to change the dynasty, Donglin Academy is too big to bear the backlash.
But changing the emperor with the surname Zhu will not cause any major problems. In Luoyi, there is a blessing king Zhu Changxun waiting, and in Hulong Villa, there is also a god of iron courage Zhu Wushi waiting. "
Fu Wang Zhu Changxun.
He is the favorite son of Emperor Wanli.
In the battle for the crown prince, he almost defeated the prince Zhu Changluo and became the new emperor.
The uncle of His Majesty today.
royal.
Anyone with blood will fight.
A few years have passed since then, but Fu Wang cannot forget the Ninth Five-Year position.
If the Donglin Party intends to build up momentum to force the palace and change the throne, it does not seem to be difficult.
The Iron God Hou Zhu ignores it!
He is also the uncle of His Majesty today.
