Rise From the Humble

Yan's Mansion is one of the best private residences in the capital. When you walk there, you can feel the luxury that hits you every step you take, and it is the kind of luxury that you can rely on without fear.

Because when Yan Song took over as the chief minister ten years ago, Emperor Jiajing thought that Yan Song was already old and issued a special decree to allow him to build a mansion. Therefore, Yan Mansion can enjoy luxury without having to avoid the eyes of outsiders.

Zhu Ping'an walked with Yan Shifan for about ten minutes, passing through a garden, bypassing a lotus pond, passing through a bamboo forest, and walking on a secluded path before arriving at the gathering place - Jishi Garden.

At the entrance of Jishi Garden, a white jade screen wall was erected, with an article called "Jishi Garden Notes" engraved on it.

Seeing that Zhu Pingan noticed this article, Yan Shifan deliberately slowed down to let Zhu Pingan watch.

Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an understood something in his heart. He estimated that this article was the work of a famous artist, or the proud work of Yan Shifan or Yan Song.

So, Zhu Pingan stopped and admired:

"Send to the Garden"

The land was acquired as a garden, with a tree in the middle and a pavilion to provide for the birds to rest. Plant several tall bamboos and mix with flowers for fun. Mingzhi said: "Send appropriateness". The husband ties the trees together to prolong the tranquility and avoid the hustle and bustle. This is the desire of the eternal love. However, he was entrusted with the royal family and stayed in public all day and night. He took care of everything and paid tribute to him in every possible way. If you hear your orders, you will act without hesitation, and if you write down notes, your pen will keep moving. Although I want to express my feelings and live in a tranquil place, how can I achieve it? The name of the garden is suitable for me, but I haven't experienced it for a day. Talking about Chi Siyu, using it to explain the ridicule.

——Jiajing Yisi Midsummer Notes.

The entire "Send to Shiyuan" is less than two hundred words, and Zhu Pingan read it quickly. Although there is no signed author in this garden note, after reading it, Zhu Pingan can basically tell who the author of this article is.

Yan Song! ! !

When you are in charge of the royal family, you are on duty day and night... When you hear the king's orders, you will act without delay, and when you write down the notes, you will keep writing...

The article was signed in midsummer of Yisi, Jiajing. At that time, only Yan Song was qualified to express such emotion, and it was engraved on the screen wall of Jishi Garden.

In this way, we can understand why Yan Shifan deliberately slowed down and left himself enough time to appreciate this piece of "Record to the Garden".

However, it would be too funny for the treacherous minister Yan Song to express his concern for the country and the people and desire to go into seclusion.

Moreover, since Yan Song took office, all his thoughts have been devoted to pleasing Emperor Jiajing, and his political achievements have not been much. Qing Ci has written a lot of poems, such as "working long and long in the public affairs, taking care of everything", "taking responsibility for everything", " "When you hear your orders, you will act without hesitation" and "the pen will keep moving" may be true, but "responsibility" and "wu" are both Qingci.

"Zi Hou, what do you think of this article?"

Seeing that Zhu Pingan had finished reading, Yan Shifan narrowed his one eye slightly, smiled at Zhu Pingan, and asked with interest.

how?

The author of this article is your father, Yan Song. If you ask me what I think, in front of you, of course, all I can do is praise.

After listening to Yan Shifan's inquiry, Zhu Ping'an was full of criticism in his heart, but he had an expression of admiration on his face: "This garden note is simple in text, but its artistic conception is extremely lofty. After reading this garden note, I seemed to have seen a garden note. As an elder who lives in the palace, is diligent in official duties, and cares about the country and the people, but he also longs for poetry and distant places, it seems that he can be seen wandering among the lush bamboo forests and green, fat, red and thin flowers, and hear his words of wanting to go into seclusion but not being able to do so. sigh."

"Poetry and the distance, haha, wonderful, wonderful. If the old man hears Zihou's comment, he will definitely make an exception and have a few more drinks..."

Yan Shifan was extremely satisfied with Zhu Pingan's comments. He couldn't help but patted his belly and laughed.

"Ah? Could it be that this masterpiece was written by Mr. Yan Ge?" Zhu Ping'an looked like he suddenly realized it, and said regretfully, "If I had known it, Ping An would not have dared to comment on the work of Mr. Ge. Jiaque comments The eagle is just a laughing stock.”

"Exactly, I can comment on the articles of Sage Kong, but I can't comment on the old man's articles." Yan Shifan smiled nonchalantly, then patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder, "Zi Hou, let's go into the garden, don't let anyone They’ve been waiting a long time.”

As soon as you enter Jishi Garden, you feel as if you have left the human world and entered a fairyland.

Pavilions, pavilions, green bamboos and fallen rocks; ponds, pavilions and pavilions, fish playing in the green waves and dense flowers; blue waves rippling, the water and sky are the same color...

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips. Just before the garden gate was screened, Yan Song said, "The land was acquired as a garden, with a tree in the middle and a pavilion for the birds to rest." He said that the garden was hard-won and it was very small. There was only a small pavilion, which was only enough for the birds to rest. That’s all.

Haha, this garden is really small...

It's so small that I can't even see the edge at a glance...

Zhu Ping'an cursed as he followed Yan Shifan and arrived at the Zhiyu Pavilion where the banquet was held.

Zhiyu Pavilion is located in the center of the rippling lotus pond. It protrudes into the pond and is surrounded by water on three sides: front, left and right. It is a loft-style building.

According to Yan Shifan's introduction, Zhiyu Pavilion was named by Yan Song himself. It was taken from the article "Zhuangzi. Autumn Water", "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?", "You are not me, how can you know that I don't know the joy of fish?" debate.

Approaching Zhiyu Pavilion, Zhu Pingan smelled the enticing aroma of wine and meat, and heard the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, the ethereal singing of a singer, and the lively chatter and laughter of the guests.

"Haha, we're here."

Yan Shifan smiled and walked in first. Zhu Pingan followed Yan Shifan and walked slowly inside.

"Haha, Brother Donglou is finally back."

"Master Yan is back."

"Hey, I also brought back a distinguished guest."

As soon as they entered Zhiyu Pavilion, everyone in the pavilion greeted Yan Shifan one after another, and Yan Shifan responded with a smile.

Zhu Ping'an squinted his eyes, adapting to the indoor light on the one hand, and observing the situation in the pavilion without any trace on the other.

The pavilion is spacious and beautifully and luxuriously decorated. On both sides of the pavilion, there are rows of beautiful women kneeling and playing the harp and flute. In the middle, there are two rows of scantily clad but veiled dancers dancing gracefully. Their graceful figures are on full display. She is graceful and graceful, and her dancing posture is extremely provocative.

In front of the dancer, in the middle of the pavilion, there is a huge round table, with a dazzling array of delicacies from the mountains and seas. There are more than ten officials sitting around the round table, each with a small and exquisite white jade wine bottle in hand.

At this moment, seeing Yan Shifan come in, all the officials sitting around the table stood up and said hello to Yan Shifan.

Among the more than ten officials sitting around the table, Zhu Pingan also discovered several acquaintances, Zhao Wenhua, Ouyang Zishi, Luo Wenlong, and Zhang Juzheng was also there. When Zhu Pingan was about to look away, he spotted Zhang Juzheng in the crowd, and It seems that Zhang Juzheng is quite familiar with Ouyang Zishi and others.

sharp!

Zhu Ping'an gave Zhang Juzheng a thumbs up in his heart, he was indeed Zhang Juzheng! This political talent is at its maximum level.

It’s really hard to convince.

Zhang Juzheng was a student of his teacher Xu Jie. He came in and out of Xu's house as if he were in his own home. He enjoyed himself so much in the strict party, and he was also able to get along like a fish in water in Prince Yu's house.

At the peak of his power now (Yan Song), at the peak of his power in the future (Xu Jie), and at the peak of his power in the future (Wang Yu), Zhang Juzheng has laid out all the plans. This political sense and talent are really amazing!

In other words, when Zhang Juzheng saw Zhu Pingan, his shock was not much less than Zhu Pingan's.

In his opinion, Zhu Ping'an was also a student of his teacher Xu Jie. He helped the teacher revise Qingci, gave gifts during the holidays (sent by Li Shu), and was quite diligent in visiting him. Let's take advantage of the direct descendants. Instead of being a bachelor's lecturer in Prince Jing's Mansion, he became a bachelor's lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion. Now Yan Shifan personally led him to the banquet, talking and laughing happily.

Where he devoted himself to the layout, Zhu Pingan also failed.

There was a storm in Zhang Juzheng's heart lake
