Chapter: 30
"Your Majesty is right with this old monk. If Xie Shidu wants to challenge the ministers, there is really no need to act like this."
Xie Jin was born with an arrogant personality and admiration for power, but after all he knew the weight of the "Prime Minister in Black" and knew that Dao Yan would not care about his small troubles, but if he continued to toss about, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Therefore, Xie Jin was arrogant before being respectful, and said sincerely after a long salute.
"Master Daoyan laughed. Xie was eager to see His Majesty but was blocked by Jin Yiwei. He had no choice but to make such a move. I hope Master Haihan."
"Come with me."
Dao Yan nodded, and the black cassock was covered with dust in the light cast by the Temple of Heavenly Kings.
The Jinyi guards guarding the outside of the bell tower couldn't help being a little surprised to see that Xie Jin, who had just been driven out, was brought back by Master Daoyan himself.
Xie Jin held his head high, and wanted to snort softly, but in the end he held back forcefully, holding the picture scroll under his arm, and followed Daoyan up to the bell tower.
Xie Jin climbed up the bell tower slowly, just in time to catch a glimpse of Zhu Di's back leaning on the railing.
Zhu Di also wore a Yanju uniform today, with only a white rope around his waist. He did not pretend to hold his hands behind his back, but just like a tourist visiting, he put a pair of powerful big hands on the railing to support his body.
Unable to tell whether the emperor was in a good or bad mood, Xie Jin was calm, and bent over to salute after putting down the scroll.
"The servant reads Xie Jin and sees His Majesty."
"Get up, what's the matter?"
"I recently got a masterpiece, and I want to present it to His Majesty."
Zhu Di turned around and raised his jaw slightly, signaling Xie Jin not to go around in circles.
Xie Jin swallowed the prepared speech abruptly, but his face remained unchanged, and he continued to unfold the picture scroll respectfully.
I saw on the picture scroll a tiger cub with a white forehead looking back at him, looking very close.
Xie Jin immediately sang a poem: "The tiger is the king of beasts, who dares to offend it? Only the love between father and son, look back step by step."
After hearing this poem, Zhu Di was a little touched.
Some time ago, because of the establishment of the crown prince, the first prince Zhu Gaochi and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu had a very tense fight, and the courtiers also showed signs of standing in line, which made Zhu Di Longyan furious.
The second prince Zhu Gaoxu didn't know whether he was really playing with his temper or being wise and foolish, so he yelled and entered the imperial prison. Everyone went in by themselves, Zhu Di was not only unable to punish him, but felt guilty.
As for the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi, he has a lenient temperament, so he asked him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and Zhu Di agreed.
Now that a month has passed, Xie Jin guessed that Zhu Di's anger had basically vented, and this happened just now.
Xie Jin's original intention was naturally to rescue the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi whom he favored. At the beginning when Zhu Di asked him his opinion on establishing the crown prince, Xie Jin clearly supported the eldest prince, but this painting also has the second prince as an excuse, so as not to be questioned. It's not about forming a party for personal gain... In short, it's a tight-thinking mind.
"You have a heart."
Zhu Di put one hand on his waist, clicked Xie Jin, and said immediately: "I'm really tired of reviewing memorials these days. I just discussed with Master Daoyan that Wenyuan Pavilion needs a few scholars to share the burden for me. ...Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Yang Rong, Hu Yan, plus you, do you understand?"
Xie Jin was startled when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed.
Become the emperor's secretary and help the emperor handle the memorial, this is the way to reach the sky!
Xie Jinfang wanted to thank you, but Zhu Di seemed to remember something, and said again: "Xie Shidu, you are the most outstanding talent in Ming Dynasty, with sophisticated writing and quick thinking. Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Hongwu Dynasty, appreciated you very much. I once heard with my own ears that Taizu Emperor Gao said to you, "I and Eryi are the ruler and minister, and the father and son of Enyou, you should know everything." Now I happen to encounter something and want to hear your opinion, and you also know everything with me. Let's talk."
"The minister must be like this!"
