The official road of the farmer

But before Ye Junshu had time to be more sad for a few days, he was attracted by another big event.

Fang Miaoxi, Zhuo Xianzhi's big disciple, his big senior brother, who has been released for many years, is back!

Not long after Ye Junshu received the letter from the elder brother, Fang Miaoxi and his party were already outside the city gate.

Ye Junshu and this elder brother have been friends for a long time. Although they have never met formally, they have maintained correspondence for many years, so it can be said that they are pen pals.

What's more, they still have such a close relationship.

Knowing the date of their return to Beijing, and then counting, according to the schedule, it will be this day when they return to Beijing!

Ye Junshu specially took half a day off to pick up the person himself.

His teacher Zhuo Xianzhi has only accepted two disciples so far, one is him and the other is senior brother Fang Miaoxi.

With this relationship, Ye Junshu naturally treats it seriously.

Ye Junshu guessed the time and waited at the gate of the city with Li Yu.

The other party was Ye Junshu's fellow apprentice, and Li Yu also specially came to greet him as a show of respect.

They didn't wait long, and saw several carriages moving forward at an unhurried pace.

Looking at the distance before and after it, it should be the same group of people.

Ye Junshu suddenly had a feeling, and intuited that this group of people should be the brothers and the others.

Sure enough, the carriage stopped not far in front of them.

Not long after, the driver of the first carriage jumped out of the carriage, then opened the door, and then, a middle-aged man in dark uniform came out.

The middle-aged man looked around, then his eyes fell on Ye Junshu, and he walked towards Ye Junshu.

Ye Junshu's original [-]% certainty has become [-]% certainty, this is undoubtedly the big brother.

Ye Junshu raised a smile, "Brother."

Fang Miaoxi is a short and fat middle-aged man, but the smile on his face is very comfortable, like a Maitreya Buddha.

Ye Junshu and Fang Miaoxi have been in correspondence for many years, and they know each other fairly well, and there is no sense of strangeness when they meet officially for the first time.

Fang Miaoxi called out cordially: "Zizhou."

Although Ye Junshu was surprised that Fang Miaoxi's figure and appearance did not match his imagined image of being tall and elegant as a life mentor, it did not affect his friendship with him.

"Zizhou is indeed a good-looking talent!" Fang Miaoxi praised with a smile.

"Brother is also gentle and refined." Ye Junshu replied with a smile.

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

But the gate of the city is not a place to talk, the two greeted each other briefly, entered the city, and then went to Fangfu together in a carriage.

Fang Miaoxi's family members were in the carriage behind.

I heard from Fang Miaoxi that his youngest son is not used to traveling, he may also be a little acclimatized, he is sick, his wife is taking care of him, so it is not good to come out, so as not to get sick.

When Ye Junshu and his party returned to Fang Mansion, Ye Junshu officially introduced to Fang Miaoxi.

"Brother, this is my husband, Li Yu."

Li Yu nodded to Fang Miaoxi, "Brother."

Fang Miaoxi smiled, and called out kindly: "Brother husband Lang."

Although Fang Miaoxi did not come back to attend the wedding banquet in person, he knew that his junior brother Ye Junshu had formed a contract with the third son of the Li family last year.

He has been famous for this third young master for a long time, seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

Ye Junshu and Fang Miaoxi chatted for a while, and their attitude became more natural.

Not long after, Mrs. Fang came in from the outside.

Mrs. Fang is also a chubby middle-aged brother, with the same smile on her face as Fang Miaoxi, gentle and gentle, looking close to people from the inside out.

"This is Zizhou, right?" Mrs. Fang looked at Ye Junshu with a smile, and then looked at Li Yu. Seeing the scar on his face, she was not frightened, and her expression remained unchanged, "Is this my brother-in-law?"

Ye Junshu and Li Yu yelled together, "Brother?"

"The mansion is in a hurry, and there are places where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Ye Junshu smiled and said, "Brother, you are being polite."

Fang Miaoxi smiled and said: "They are all our own people, so there is no need to see outsiders."

"Exactly."

Ye Junshu and Li Yu didn't stay in Fang's residence for long. The masters of the Fang family just came back, and now the mansion is in a hurry, so they stopped adding to the chaos. They made an appointment to visit again at another day, and Ye Junshu took Li Yu with him. leave.

Fang Miaoxi came back at this time, and the timing was a little sensitive.

Many people have guessed it.

When Fang Miaoxi came back, he was probably summoned by Emperor Tai'an to take over Jing Zhaoyin's position.

Otherwise, it's not yet the time for officials to be evaluated every three years, how could Fang Miaoxi come back suddenly?

Ye Junshu quickly figured out this joint after he surprised his senior brother to return to Beijing.

He never expected that this peach, which everyone wanted to fight for, would eventually fall into the hands of his senior brother.

When the imperial court was arguing about this official candidate, Emperor Tai'an already had a candidate in his heart, no wonder Emperor Tai'an took advantage of the situation and made Jing Zhaoyin absent for so long.

With Emperor Tai'an staring at him, Fang Miaoxi's duty report went very quickly. Fang Miaoxi had been transferred less than half a month after he came back.

His new position is Jing Zhaoyin.

When all the dust has settled, no matter what other people think in their hearts, they can only accept this fact.

As for whether Fang Miaoxi can secure this position, it depends on his ability.

Ye Junshu didn't expect that the senior brother looked gentle and approachable, but he was a bit thunderous in doing things, so he sat firmly in the position.

But also, if the senior brother had no ability, Emperor Tai'an would not have paid so much attention to him, and even specially called him back.

At the same time, the court was also thrown into another shock wave.

A censor asked Emperor Tai'an to be crowned king.

As mentioned earlier, Emperor Tai'an had nine sons, four princes and five His Royal Highnesses.

The eldest prince, Xiahou Xuandai, was born of a noble concubine of the Ming Dynasty. He has now participated in politics and worked in the Ministry of Rites.

The second prince, Xiahou Xuanrui, was a son of a concubine Liang, and has also joined the government, working in the Ministry of Industry. He is a transparent person with average talent and no ambitions.

The Third Highness Xia Houqi, born of a concubine, has already entered into a bond with others as an adult, and now she and her husband are managing a prefecture together outside, and they are living a comfortable life.

His Highness Xia Houjue, the second son of the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, left the palace at the beginning of the year.

The Fifth Highness, Xiahou Bing, also came from a concubine, and the contract has not yet been concluded.

The sixth prince Xiahou Xuanheng is the same age as the seventh prince Xiahou Xuanjing, with a difference of less than two months.

The Eighth Prince is only eight years old, and His Highness the Ninth Prince is still a toddler, so it can be ignored.

Others who died before they were born are not included in this list.

Emperor Tai'an was furious, although he immediately reprimanded the censor who proposed to be king.But once the matter is opened, it will not be easily suppressed.

The memorials to the king were presented one by one to Emperor Tai'an's case.

Some grassroots officials also joined the ranks when they saw that the voice of the eldest prince to be crowned king was getting louder.

The neutral faction does not stick to both sides, and stands on the sidelines.

Only some officials of the queen's faction and the royalist faction opposed it, but their forces were weak.

That little voice also faded away.

The First Prince's voice became even louder, and there was a faint tendency for the First Prince to inherit the orthodoxy.

It's just that he didn't go directly to ask for the crown prince.

But being a king is not much different from establishing a prince.

Of the four princes of Emperor Tai'an, only two are adults, and the second prince has mediocre aptitude and no powerful family.

Once crowned king and with real power, it would be in the best interest of the First Prince.

If the eldest prince develops for a few more years, he might rule the world in the future.In their eyes, the seventh son of the emperor is the orthodox son, but he is only a 12-year-old boy at this time and has not yet participated in politics.

A few years have passed, and the day lily has become cold.

At that time, looking inside and outside the court, there is no force to contend with.

But from Ye Junshu's point of view, the First Prince was a little too impatient.

Although there is no one among the princes who can compete with him, the only one who poses a threat to him is underage and not to be feared.

But they ignore the most important point.

Emperor Tai'an is still in good health. Although he is over forty, if there is no accident, he can still reign for at least ten years.No emperor would be happy. When he was in his prime, someone coveted his throne.

Even if that person is his own son.

Logically speaking, with such changes in the imperial court, the most urgent one should be the Zhonggong lineage.

If the eldest prince inherits the orthodoxy in the future, where will there be a way for them to survive?

As the only son of the middle palace, the Seventh Prince might be in danger of his life.

But they are in no hurry at this time.

The Seventh Prince has not yet grown up, they jumped out in a hurry to fight, there is no benefit but no harm.

As long as they ensure that Emperor Tai'an is healthy, they can live for another ten or eight years.

Emperor Tai'an was not a cowardly and incompetent emperor, he still had real power in his hands. If the Ming family wanted to force the palace, they might have to weigh it in a few years.

The seat of Emperor Tai'an, sit still!

So they are in no hurry.

At this time, it is time to recharge your batteries, and you can even secretly contribute to the flames, so that the eldest prince can jump up and down for a while longer.

Ye Junshu was not directly related to the bustle of the court during this period. After confirming that there would be no changes in a short period of time, Ye Junshu concentrated his energy on his own home.

They are packing up their belongings and preparing to go home to visit relatives.

Ye Junshu and Li Yu discussed it and planned to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors this year.

Ye Junshu took a four-month leave, hurry up on the way, and he can stay in his hometown for a few months.

Enough for them to get things done.

The children in the family also have to be brought with them.

A rare trip back home.

In this way, Ye Junwei's studies may be delayed for a while.But with him watching on the road, it doesn't matter much.

Originally, he could leave the child in the capital, but after careful consideration, he still felt uneasy.

Shangjing is the domain of the Ming family, what if one day they attack his children?

He is far away from the capital and can't do anything.

Originally, if Li Changchuan was in the capital, he could entrust the child to him.

But maybe it's boring in the capital, or the marriage is being watched by all parties, Li Changchuan doesn't want to stay anymore.

So he planned to leave Beijing with Ye Junshu and the others on this trip.

Speaking of which, Li Changchuan hasn't been to Ye Junshu's hometown yet, so he can take a look at it right now.

However, Li Changchuan's ultimate goal is to go to the southeast first, to find out the news first, and to get used to the sea area first.

Ye Junshu naturally welcomed the elder brother to go to his hometown, so he specially wrote to the villagers to help clean the house, so as not to leave a bad impression on the elder brother.
