Because the royal government confers the rank and title of empress Crown Prince, as well as enfeoffs various king, the Emperor personally under aim world pardon, and changes the reign title is Xiangfu. Welcomed Xiangfu of early spring at this firecrackers sound first year, Imperial Palace banned, still had the temple high-ranking official to be on duty, a 60-year-old person carried the wine dipper bag to move toward that stretch/open Lu swayingly, on the road meets by chance occasionally, daily life court attendant who Son of Heaven nearly waited on, can put on the court eunuch sable temple of bright scarlet boa robe, met this old person, stopped the foot without exception on own initiative, after the customs of these imperial grounds customs threw the brain, the smile exchanges greetings several, if common character, once were discovered, must have is in charge big court eunuch Han Diaosi by Si Lijian on the heart, sooner or later could not eat the pocket walking, However now Si Lijian trades being in charge, Jiaqing celebrated the early spring, the object was the broad and level old man who inside and outside the royal government high and low imperial palace liked, did not fear that was regarded the handle, even if the person with high aspirations made to Emperor your majesty that side, Emperor will also only reprove these people to chew the root of the tongue randomly. Replacing Sun Xiji became Huan Wen of chancellery new leader to call congratulates, arrived at stretch/open Lu, found household of section Shangshu king Xionggui to stand under the eaves by far rubs hands to breathe as when warming the hands, the Jiangnan scholar of this my impoverished family family background, in looked on the silver-haired royal government eyeful is extremely young young, he is relying on the imperial civil service examination with many today's temple pillars of the state together in Yonghui years, the carp jumps over Dragon Gate, moreover that year the metropolitan examination, the person of title of the three highest scorers in the palace examinations, in Sanjia was also youngest by one armor three king Xionggui, supervising examiner Senior Grand Secretary Zhang Julu that presided over the world imperial civil service examination, the preliminary grader of examining test papers held the post of Directorate of Education left Libationer Huan Wen by chance at that time, relied on to have mind filled with Ching-kuo. The talent of providing relief, having a meteoric rise tired officer to household section Shangshu king Xionggui, without doubt is stretch/open Dang a department, even if became a Shangshu, these years always hold the disciple ritual to Zhang Julu with Huan Wen, this little while does not wait for Huan Wen close to stretch/open Lu, rushes to run down the steps, helping Huan Wen receive the wine pot and arrange/cloth pouch, Huan Wen teases: „Fuding, how that blue eyes did make you be denied entrance? This old fogy is also, yesterday you paid new year's call to you ate, today comes, at heart is very clearly tight your favorite student, but could not wipe the face. Is all right, a while said that this pot liquor and salt water peanut are you bring along, I do not believe blue eyes is not greedy, he must be able to conduct the shoulder greedily, the light looks at us to enjoy happiness, I also calculate that helped you exit|to speak the foul odor, was?” 因为朝廷册立太子,以及分封诸王,皇帝亲自下旨天下大赦,并且改年号为祥符。在这个爆竹声声迎新春的祥符初年,大内禁中,仍有庙堂大员当值,一位花甲老人拎酒提袋晃晃悠悠走向那座张庐,路上偶有相逢,不论是天子近侍的起居郎,还是可以穿上鲜艳大红蟒衣的太监貂寺,遇见了这位老人,无一例外都主动停下脚,把那些宫禁规矩的规矩抛掷脑后,纷纷笑脸寒暄几句,若是寻常时分寻常人物,一经发现,少不得被司礼监掌印大太监韩貂寺记在心上,迟早吃不了兜着走,不过如今司礼监换了掌印,嘉庆贺初春,对象又是朝廷上下皇宫内外都喜欢的坦坦翁,就不怕被人当成把柄,哪怕有心人闹到皇帝陛下那边去,皇帝也只会训斥那些人乱嚼舌根。顶替孙希济成为门下省新任掌门人的桓温一路招呼贺喜,来到了张庐,远远瞧见户部尚书王雄贵站在屋檐下搓手呵气,这位寒门出身的江南读书人,在满眼望去白发苍苍的朝廷上算是极为年轻青壮,他跟许多当今庙堂栋梁一同在永徽凭借科举,鲤鱼跳过龙门,而且那年会试,进士及第之人,三甲中又以一甲三名的王雄贵最为年少,主持天下科举的座师正是首辅张巨鹿,阅卷的房师更恰巧是当时担任国子监左祭酒的桓温,凭借满腹经国济世之才,一路平步青云累官至户部尚书王雄贵,无疑是张党一系,哪怕当上了一部尚书,这些年对张巨鹿跟桓温始终执弟子礼,这会儿不等桓温靠近张庐,就赶忙跑下阶梯,帮桓温接过酒壶和布囊,桓温打趣道:“福鼎啊,怎么那碧眼儿又让你吃闭门羹了？这老家伙也是,昨天你去拜年给你吃了一回,今天又来,分明心里挺紧着你这个得意门生,可就是抹不开面子。没事没事,等会儿就说这壶酒和盐水花生都是你捎来的,我就不信碧眼儿不眼馋,他要能扛着嘴馋,光看咱俩享福,我也算帮你出口恶气了,是不是？” hero expensive/noble character Fuding king Shangshu of smiles bitterly saying: „Where late lives dares to set at the air/Qi with Sir Senior Grand Secretary, Huan master do not tease Fuding. Also lived to teach late with an improper method, making that good-for-nothing my son annoy the disaster, the entire Capital City is looking at the joke, late lived is really the shame to Sir Senior Grand Secretary with hoping of Huan.” 名雄贵字福鼎的王尚书苦笑道:“晚生哪敢跟首辅大人置气啊,桓师就不要取笑福鼎了。再说晚生管教无方,让那不成器的犬子惹下祸事,全京城都在看笑话,晚生实在是愧对首辅大人跟桓师的期许。” Huan Wen smiles, this broad and level old men and these city mansion seas the temple of temper gloomy suspicion unyielding are not quite unavoidably same, time that the old person smiles can never be false smile, does not make people feel to hide a dagger in a smile, but makes people think sincerely Sir Huan really met the celebration. Over the years some pavilion old high-ranking court officials of meeting misfortune, like running to talk about old days with Huan Wen, take several pot nice wines, can Huan Residence this old man help is a different matter, in brief can make people think after the huge difficult matter passed through his saying, seemed can also after all some leeway. Huan Zuopu shoots two not to do, improves on perfection does not do, hits a person when he is down does not do. Has Huan Wen to lead to walk into stretch/open Lu, king Xionggui also has the courage to pass through the gate. Huan Wen stops the footsteps in the entrance, king Xionggui a foot has stepped into, has the little darling to take back, hears the old person to say in a soft voice: „Your that young child called to burn, even my being confined at home old men had heard his given name, cannot say did a wicker basket misdemeanor, less than half wicker baskets had. In the fall of last year, had the dispute in 99 halls with Beiliang Heir, served the rich and powerful by literary hack work by his crowd blows blowing to ascend the sky, talked into the national capital playboy leader character, said that dares to withstand/top doing on him with that Heir, this had nothing, I was also good, blue eyes, the young time was also the air/Qi is much more abundant, whose not vanity. Your that child the courage is also too fat now, runs the unmarried girl who unexpectedly bullies board of personnel Zhao Youling, this unmarried girl spring the only son subscribes the marriage with flourishing potassium alum, this also continues, the Ministry of Justice Han forest son came out saying that just words, gave there you child to hit, but also scolded his father is a Ministry of Justice yes-man vice minister, Fuding, you pulled the finger to calculate, Yonghui in four years, actually also your how many people became outstanding together, the approximate relations were good, his such a noisy, you after flourishing Zhao and Han who simultaneously served as an official how to meet? Your I know, next year the imperial civil service examination will be one's turn flourishing Mao spring/lust to manage, magical skill height that flourishing Mao spring/lust serves as an official, your I am well aware, current dynasty storage the head, does not call white/in vain. This year Capital tests, immediately is the local official inspects this important matter, Zhao Youling definitely is the chancellor person, how your supervising examiner can not be mad by you seethes with rage, changes into me to sit in his blue eyes that position, is the similar anger.” 桓温笑了笑,这位坦坦翁与那些城府似海难免给人性子阴沉嫌疑的庙堂砥柱不太一样,老人笑起来的时候从不会是皮笑肉不笑,更不让人感到笑里藏刀,而是让人真心觉得桓大人真的遇上了喜事。历年来一些落难的阁老重臣,都喜欢跑去跟桓温叙旧,带上几壶好酒,桓府这老头儿能不能帮忙是另外一回事,总之能让人觉得天大难事经他一说后,似乎总归是还能有些余地。桓左仆射有两不做,锦上添花不做,落井下石不做。有桓温领着走入张庐,王雄贵也就有胆子进门。桓温在门口停下脚步,王雄贵一只脚都已经踏入,只得乖乖收回,听到老人轻声说道:“你那幼子叫远燃吧,连我这种足不出户的老头子都听说过他的大名,称不上做了一箩筐坏事,不过半箩筐还是有的。去年秋,在九九馆跟北凉世子起了纷争,被他那群帮闲一吹给吹上了天,说成了京师纨绔班头人物,说就他敢跟那世子顶着干,这原本没有什么,我也好,碧眼儿也罢,年轻时候也是气盛得一塌糊涂,谁没点虚荣心。只是你那孩子如今胆子也太肥了,竟然跑去欺负吏部赵右龄的闺女,这闺女还是跟殷茂春独子订下亲事的,这还不止,刑部韩林的儿子出来说句公道话,就给你那儿子打了一顿,还骂他老爹不过是刑部一个应声虫侍郎,福鼎啊,你扳指头算一算,永徽四年中,其实也就你们几人一同出人头地,大致关系都不错,被他这么一闹,你跟同时做官的殷赵韩三人以后怎么相见？你我都知道,明年科举就轮到殷茂春主持,殷茂春做官的道行高低,你我心知肚明,当朝储相之首,不是白叫的。今年京考完毕,马上就是地方官员考核这桩大事,赵右龄肯定是主事人,你那座师怎能不被你气得七窍生烟,换成我坐在他碧眼儿那个位置上,也是差不多的火气。” king Xionggui stamps the feet, sighs, said in a low voice: „Huan master, you have not to know, my son king Yuanran was framed, otherwise is not the extent that the conduct rash......” 王雄贵一跺脚,叹息一声,低声说道:“桓师,你有所不知,犬子王远燃是被人构陷,否则也不至于如此行事孟浪……” Also is unexpectedly angry-looking by Huan Wen that the good nature is celebrated worldwide, constrains the sound to scold: „Idiot, the fly does not bite the seamless egg, your son, if the good thing, to have the opportunity to be framed? The main house gate misfortune, biggest lies in the descendants is not grateful unfortunately! Rushed to the dreadful calamity, when your father is also thinking how to give king Yuanran to clean up, rather than better late than never, what your king Xionggui wasn't stupid is?!” 以好脾气著称于世的桓温竟然也一脸怒气,压抑声音骂道:“蠢货,苍蝇不叮无缝的蛋,你儿子要是个好东西,能有机会被人陷害？家门不幸,最大不幸就在于子孙不惜福！都闯下泼天大祸了,你这当爹的还想着如何给王远燃擦屁股,而不是亡羊补牢,你王雄贵不是蠢是什么？！” king Xionggui speaks haltingly, does not dare to refute. The bystanders are truly difficult to imagine a upper second grade Shangshu also to be taught so pitifully. Huan Wen is still not venting, has seized wine pot arrange/cloth pouch, puts down a repetition heavy language straightforwardly: „originally thought you want to understand comes, without thinking of so the scoundrel, cannot manage well including sons, what household of section but also manages?! My Huan Wen old man continuously to your favor adding together, good, what household of section Shangshu do not work as simply, coming the chancellery to overcome the hand to me, same is the second grade officer, how?! Avoid there you child depends your father, curls upwards the space the tail, reveals that ugly light ass!” 王雄贵嚅嚅喏喏,根本不敢反驳。外人确实很难想象一位正二品尚书也能被人训得如此凄惨。桓温犹不解气,夺过酒壶布囊,直截了当撂下一顿重言重语:“本以为你想明白了才来,没想到还是这般混账,连一个儿子都管不好,还管什么户部？！我桓温老儿一直对你青眼相加,好,那你干脆别当什么户部尚书了,来门下省给我打下手,一样是二品官,如何？！省得你那儿子仗着你这个爹,把尾巴翘到天上,露出那难看至极的光腚！” king Xionggui frightens is pale. The government and people all know stretch/open Dang who Senior Grand Secretary Zhang Julu wields, is actually all connected, but so exchanged the character flag, can actually push to trace to Zhang Julu Huan Wen two people kind teachers upward the old Senior Grand Secretary kind teacher, next one, whatever who received the Zhang Julu burden/shoulder pole, king Xionggui call is without doubt highest, opening inside and outside the party is so. Spoke the sentence clear words, even if Emperor discontented king Xionggui this household section Shangshu, censures the officer to fall, even censures to the place, so long as opened Huan two old still, even toward out of office, had the greatest prestige, his king Xionggui did not fear that did not have the opportunity to go back to the center, but if Zhang and Huan thought that king Xionggui could not withstand the heavy responsibility, was not enough to support their lineage/vein, king Xionggui this whole life official career even thoroughly to the end. 王雄贵吓得脸色苍白。朝野皆知首辅张巨鹿执掌的张党,其实一脉相承,只是如此换上了张字大旗而已,其实可以往上一直推溯到张巨鹿桓温两人恩师即老首辅的恩师,下一任由谁接过张巨鹿的担子,王雄贵无疑呼声最高,张党内外皆是如此。说句明白话,哪怕皇帝不满王雄贵这位户部尚书,贬官降品,甚至贬至地方,只要张桓两老仍在,甚至不论是在朝在野,都具有莫大的威望,他王雄贵就根本不怕没有机会重回中枢,但若是张桓二人觉得王雄贵不堪重任,不足以支撑起他们这一脉,那王雄贵这辈子仕途就算彻底到头了。 Huan Wen cold snort/hum. 桓温冷哼一声。 king Xionggui did not speak low-spirited, after careful consideration, bitter and astringent say/way: „Huan master, fresh knew late mistakenly, did not enter the room to make Sir Senior Grand Secretary worry. Also has the snow while the ground, now before going back to let king Yuanran goes to Zhao Youling mansion gate, kneel, I will also visit to apologize with Zhao Youling personally.” 王雄贵黯然不语,仔细思量过后,苦涩道:“桓师,晚生知错了,也不进屋让首辅大人烦心。趁着地上还有积雪,现在回去就让王远燃去赵右龄府门前跪着,我也会亲自登门跟赵右龄致歉。” Huan Wen nods, says with a smile: „Fuding, your oil slider, the snow cover of what nonsense, the Zhao Youling main house gate sea of people, are clean , do you discover one handful of snows to me actually? Good was good, you know wrong on the line. Such a noisy also good, lets there you child ruthlessly long memory. I know that you love dearly mostly, king Yuanran is not stupid, even if your putting on a serious face that becomes the father, can look at your eye inside favoring to drown mostly, in addition your wife is the ear is softer, cannot withstand the young child crying father to shout mother, this time made him throw a skin, sooner or later will give him to compensate secretly. Regarding this, I cannot feel relieved, you pass on words for me to king Yuanran, later he dares to wanton mischief again, I spoke words to Yao Baifeng, throws him to Directorate of Education closes 35 years.” 桓温点了点头,笑道:“福鼎啊,你这油滑子,什么狗屁的地面积雪,人家赵右龄家门口人山人海,干净得很,你倒是给我找出一捧雪来？行了行了,你知错就行。这么一闹也好,让你那儿子狠狠长点记性。我知道你多半心疼,王远燃不笨,哪怕你这个当爹的板着脸,多半还是能瞧出你眼里头的宠溺,加上你那媳妇更是耳根子软,经不起幼子事后的哭爹喊娘,这次让他丢了一层皮,迟早会偷偷给他更多补偿。对此,我放心不过,你替我传句话给王远燃,以后他再敢瞎胡闹,我就跟姚白峰说句话,把他丢到国子监去关上个三五年。” Was meddled to help process household section Shangshu of housework by the broad and level old man personally, the eye socket is moist, the lip shivers saying: „The graciousness of Huan master, lives late not thinks the report.” 被坦坦翁亲自插手帮忙处理家务事的户部尚书,眼眶湿润,嘴唇颤抖道:“桓师之恩,晚生无以为报。” Huan Wen shakes the head to sigh: „I to your petty favors am not anything, inside that really thinks highly about you. Fuding, you cannot disappoint him.” 桓温摇头叹气道:“我对你这些小恩小惠不算什么,里头那位,对你才是真的器重。福鼎,你切不可让他失望啊。” king Xionggui nods layer on layer/heavily, Huan Wen gives him wine pot arrange/cloth pouch again, „my enters the palace, comes to you, finishes what one starts. Walks, goes to see our Sir Senior Grand Secretary together.” 王雄贵重重点头,桓温重新把酒壶布囊交给他,“我这趟入宫,就是冲着你来的,有始有终。走,一起进去见见咱们首辅大人。” Entered stretch/open Lu, Zhang Julu of purple fine beard blue eyes as before to the household section Shangshu not false color, but the good and evil accepted the liquor and shelled peanut reluctantly, the hut officials who these are immersed in the writing desk processing business, raised the head quietly, responds with Shangshu Sir smiles. king Xionggui has not treated, quick said goodbye departs in a hurry. Zhang Julu and Huan Wen arrive use to receive the room of bystander specially, Huan Wen to stretch/open Lu again is the familiar house, oneself moves in the appliance to boil the liquor to get up leisurely, said: „Royal government said that your my sang red painted-face one to sing the white face, our old two brothers coordinated flawlessly, before did not feel, now can only hold one's nose the acknowledgment. You said that Fuding such has the aspiration to have the ability full of wisdom official, has achieved a high of Shangshu, the household section high and low is systematic, why cannot manage well a house.” 进了张庐,紫髯碧眼的张巨鹿依旧对户部尚书不假颜色,不过好歹勉强收下了酒和花生米,那些个埋首书案处理事务的张庐文臣们,都悄悄抬起头,对尚书大人报以会心微笑。王雄贵没有多待,很快就告辞匆匆离去。张巨鹿和桓温来到专门用以接待外人的屋子,桓温对张庐再是熟门熟路不过,自己就搬来器具悠哉游哉煮酒起来,自顾自说道:“朝廷都说你我一个唱红脸一个唱白脸,咱们老哥俩配合得天衣无缝,以前不觉得,如今只能捏鼻子承认喽。你说福鼎这么一个有抱负有能力有智慧的官员,也已经做到了一部尚书的高位,户部上下条理分明,为何偏偏就管不好自家一栋宅子。” Zhang Julu said lightly: „This has what strange, mostly the person being an official itself/Ben seeks the luck for the descendants, furthermore do not look that king Yuanran became the target of universal detestation in national capital suddenly, actually in front of the person of father's generation cleverly is at home clever , the government authorities juniors mostly so, are not stupid, but is too intelligent, the government flatters that set of thing that bullies, has been influenced by what one sees and hears, thoroughly cooked in heart. I can affirm that king Xionggui is also first knows his young child is so muddled. Why this is also has every year has not planted the government official greatly in the political opponent hand, instead plants in the oneself descendants hand. The father and son with toward going to the palace are actually not unusual, can three generations with toward be difficult, even if three people of officers are not big, the grades and salary is not high, no matter but the good official bad officer, at least is the truly intelligent officer.” 张巨鹿平淡道:“这有何奇怪,大多人当官本就是为子孙谋福,再者你别看王远燃突然就成了京师里的过街老鼠,其实在家里父辈面前乖巧伶俐得很,官家子弟大多如此,不是笨,而是太聪明,官场谀上欺下的那套东西,早就耳濡目染,烂熟于心。我敢肯定王雄贵也是头一回知道他的幼子如此糊涂。这也是为什么每年都有大把官吏没栽在政敌手上,反而栽在自己子孙手上。父子同朝上殿其实不稀奇,能三代同朝才难,哪怕三人的官都不大,品秩不高,可不管是好官坏官,起码都是真正聪明的官。” The nose was frozen becomes Huan Wen of acne rosacea to smell the wine, smiles to ask: „You said that looked Beiliang can have several generations?” 鼻子被冻成酒糟鼻子的桓温闻着酒香,笑问道:“那你说说看北凉能有几代？” Zhang Julu tranquil say/way: „This issue, you must ask Three Eminents Huang that the god god talked on endlessly, I do not know, was disinclined to know. At that moment the business, was stronger than anything immediately. As for can look far, must look at that you can walk many do.” 张巨鹿平静道:“这个问题,你得去问神神叨叨的黄三甲,我不知道,也懒得知道。当下事务当下了,比什么都强。至于到底能看多远,到底还是要看你能走多远才作准。” Huan Wen laughs. 桓温哈哈大笑。 Zhang Julu puts out a hand. 张巨鹿伸出手。 Huan Wen said with amazement: „Asks for the liquor to drink? Blue eyes, can you make concubine? Congratulations.” 桓温惊讶道:“讨酒喝？碧眼儿,你要弄一房侍妾了？恭喜恭喜。” Zhang Julu shot a look at one ill-humoredly, oneself went to but actually one bowl of hot liquor, drank the mouth, said with a smile: „I have returned to the taste.” 张巨鹿没好气瞥了一眼,自己去倒了一碗热酒,喝了口,笑着说道:“我回过味了。” Huan Wen nods saying: „I am also, two letters send, some regrets. Hey, it seems like your I the say/way, the boy, was respecting the young. By your my hand, started to renovate Beiliang. However I now am very curious, gold/metal Lv wove Li Xifeng to be cheated equally, has acted in collusion with Beiliang?” 桓温点了点头道:“我也是,两封信一寄出去,就有些后悔。嘿,看来你我都着了道啊,那小子,后生可畏。假借你我之手,开始着手整治北凉了。不过我现在很好奇,金缕织造李息烽到底是一样被蒙骗了,还是已经跟北凉沆瀣一气？” Zhang Julu asked back: „Has the difference?” 张巨鹿反问道:“有区别？” Fills toward civil and military also only then his broad and level old man can follow to open the idea of Senior Grand Secretary, the nod said: „Also right, Li Xifeng has had the great merit eventually, let alone also makes Yan Jiexi owe a huge favor, we need to make him return to the capital dignified, but must according to your first 20 years of the staunch temper of tidying up Jizhou Han Family, Li Xifeng may not have this good fortune.” 满朝文武也就只有他坦坦翁能跟得上张首辅的想法了,点头道:“也对,李息烽终究是有过大功的,何况还让严杰溪欠着一份天大人情,咱们还是需要让他体体面面回京,不过要依你前二十年收拾蓟州韩家的刚烈性子,李息烽可没这福气。” Zhang Julu said with a smile: „This year to the grandson the new year's money, recalls oneself is 50 several old men, this/should has this disposition time.” 张巨鹿笑道:“今年给孙子压岁钱,才记起自己已是五十好几的老头子,也该是有这份心性的时候了。” Huan Wen yo, teased: „How, to be thinking finally started to seek the escape route?” 桓温呦了一声,打趣道:“咋的,终于想着开始谋取退路了？” Zhang Julu shakes the head, the look is firm and resolute, puts out two characters slowly: „Does not remain.” 张巨鹿摇头,眼神坚毅,缓缓吐出两个字:“不留。” Huan Wen said in a soft voice: „Relax, I will not make your blue eyes never recurring.” 桓温轻声道:“放心,我不会让你碧眼儿绝后的。” Zhang Julu is swaying the liquor bowl, self-ridicules saying: „Difficult.” 张巨鹿摇晃着酒碗,自嘲道:“难啊。” Huan Wen said suddenly seriously: „You do not have an unmarried girl not to get married, later Beiliang also lacks imperial concubine, how do you feel this idea?” 桓温突然一本正经说道:“你不是还有个闺女没嫁人嘛,以后北凉还缺个正妃,你觉得这主意咋样？” The Zhang Julu air/Qi said with a smile: „Rolls your egg!” 张巨鹿气笑道:“滚你的蛋！” The distant place hut high-ranking court official is clear incomparably hears Sir Senior Grand Secretary this bad language, look at each other in blank dismay. 远处诸位张庐重臣都清晰无比地听到首辅大人这句脏话,面面相觑。
