Daming Junior Scholar

It has been more than a month since they withdrew their troops from Nanchang and returned to Nanjing, but their emperor Zhengde never mentioned when his troops would return to the imperial court. , spend a good night with the oiran dancer in the painting boat.

If it's ten days or eight days, that's all. It's been more than a month, and these ministers can't stand it anymore. If this continues, who will handle the official documents of each department?You can't let go of national affairs just for fun.

However, seeing that Zhengde was in high spirits, no one wanted to run into Zhengde's misfortune. When several people discussed with each other, they thought of one person.

This person is none other than He Jia'an, the first-rank official Guanglu doctor and chief military officer who just took office.

Zhengde stayed in Nanjing for a month, and He Jiaan spent a month in Nanjing City. Zhengde wandered around with fireworks and cosmetics all day long, while He Jiaan bought a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in Nanjing City. Lin Shuying also persuaded him to buy more Gold and silver jewelry should be so good, this kind of thing can be exchanged for money anywhere, and I don't know what use it is to buy these junk back.

"You call this tattered?" On the carriage back, He Jiaan was still arguing with Lin Shuying with the calligraphy and painting. This kind of thing is not kept for himself, but passed down as a family heirloom. Don't think you are buying this now. Things are worthless, maybe hundreds of years later, they will be priceless treasures.

Cursing her lips, Lin Shuying didn't believe He Jiaan's nonsense. When did she see priceless treasures being sold all over the street? Besides, you can buy these calligraphy, paintings and antiques, but why buy so many books?

In less than a month, you have sold out all the bookstores in Nanjing City. No matter what kind of book it is, you can just buy it with money.

The carriage stopped in front of the villa. This villa was sold to Xu Pengju by He Jia'an at the beginning. After he moved in, it was very unusual, but when he just entered the hall, he was blocked by several people.

He Jiaan looked blankly at the senior officials in front of him, and quickly asked in doubt: "What happened, what's the important thing for the senior officials to come to me together?"

"Of course it's a big thing, a big thing." For He Jia'an, who was immediately on the same level as him, Cao Yuan treated him on an equal footing. He said: "Lord He, have you heard the news of when the emperor will return to Beijing?"

"Going back to Beijing? Why do you want to go back to Beijing? Isn't this place very good?" He Jiaan pretended to be confused, knowing that he didn't want to go back to Beijing. He had already bought what he needed to buy and prepared what he needed to do in the past few days. , the next step is to find an opportunity to mention the voyage to the West with Zhengde. If you return to Beijing at this time, it will not be easy to find such an opportunity.

Hearing that He Jiaan didn't want to return to Beijing, Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Master He, it's not a big deal that the emperor has been away for so long, so many official documents and state affairs are waiting for the emperor every day." To go back and make a decision, of course you have to go back to Beijing."

"Oh, so that's the case." He Jia'an nodded with a blank face, raised his head and asked in doubt: "But what does this matter have to do with me? Mr. Cao should go to the emperor to talk about this, it doesn't seem to be very useful to tell me. .”

Isn't this nonsense, if the emperor listened to me, then I would have said it long ago, why are you here?

Cao Yuan showed a hint of helplessness on his face, and said with a sneer: "Master He, except for you, Mr. He, who can still see the emperor, the emperor doesn't even see one side of the other ministers, let alone mentioning the matter of returning to Beijing. Therefore, everyone is here today to let Mr. He persuade the emperor, it is better to return to Beijing earlier."

"This..." He Jiaan showed a hint of helplessness on his face, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I'm really sorry, my lords, I really can't be the emperor's master. If you want to persuade the emperor, you should hand it over to the emperor." Post, maybe the emperor will summon you sometime, if you have something to do, please go ahead."

"Hey, Mr. He, don't go." Cao Yuan quickly stopped He Jia'an, frowned and hesitated for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and said: "I heard that Mr. He is busy collecting calligraphy and paintings in Nanjing these days. However, the old man has a painting in his hand, if Mr. He is willing to help with this, the old man will give up this painting."

"Oh?" Seeing Cao Yuan speak so seriously, He Jiaan was taken aback for a moment, sat back on his buttocks that had already stood up, and asked suspiciously, "Whose painting?"

"Huang Tingjian's paintings from the Song Dynasty should be available." Cao Yuan also had no choice but to persuade He Jia'an, but he couldn't do it in general, so when he opened his mouth, he directly took out the best one around him.

Huang Tingjian's painting?

He Jiaan trembled when he heard that, he hesitated for a moment on his face, stood up again, cupped his hands and said: "I still have important things to do, let's take a step first."

"Hey, Mr. He, don't go, I still have a picture here."

He Jia'an tried to leave several times, and finally after blackmailing everyone, he nodded in satisfaction. He didn't come to Wei Guogong's mansion until he got the painting, and asked to see Zhengde.

Cao Yuan was right, except for He Jiaan, as long as others saw Zhengde, they would immediately block him back at the door. He Jiaan came here just to say hello, and a little eunuch came to guide him into the mansion.

I came early enough today, it happened that Zhengde hadn't left the mansion yet, so he put on a pair of luxurious casual clothes, when he saw He Jiaan, he laughed to himself: "He Aiqing came just in time, how about my new clothes?"

"No matter how good the clothes are, there is no better body than the emperor's dragon." As soon as He Jiaan arrived here, he flattered him a little.

"Hahaha." Zhengde was even more happy in his heart, and asked curiously: "By the way, what do you want to come to me? If you talk about returning to Beijing, don't mention it again. I haven't played enough yet. Wait until I have enough fun." It’s not too late to go back.”

He Jiaan shook his head indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I didn't come here today for this matter. Does your Majesty still remember an event a few years ago?"

"Oh? What's the matter?" As long as he didn't return to Beijing, Zhengde could tolerate it.

"Does the Emperor still remember that Rang Zeng was preparing to go to the West? Just after Paju was blown up by the rebels, it will take a long time to recover. I think it's better to take advantage of this time and how about the next trip to the West?"

"Going to the West?" Zhengde's interest was immediately aroused by He Jiaan, his eyes were full of excitement, but after a while, they dimmed again, shaking his head and sighing slightly: "It's a pity, I still have to guard this country, I can't wait Sailing to the west with Aiqing."

Uh……

He Jia'an was taken aback by Zhengde's thoughts. If he went to the Western Ocean with him, how could he stay in the Western Ocean? Thanks to him, he can still realize that he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, he would definitely be with him. The boat is gone.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, after I arrive in Xiyang, I will definitely draw the scenery of Xiyang on the scroll and bring it back to the emperor, so as to satisfy the emperor's curiosity."

"Well, that's fine." Zhengde nodded and asked curiously, "Then what does He Aiqing need to bring when she goes west?"

"The more things like silk, tea, and porcelain, the better." He Jia'an was not polite, and opened his mouth like a lion.

"Aren't these too few?" Zhengde hesitated for a moment, thought for a while and said: "The Westerners are mostly uncivilized natives. He Aiqing might as well bring more craftsmen and books. Feel the majesty of the Kingdom of Heaven."

Good guy, it seems that I still want it early, but since Zhengde promised to bring so much, I will not be polite. After spending Zhengde's public funds to search for it, He Jiaan finally filled the fleet and chose a On a good day and auspicious day, the boat sailed to the west, but before leaving, He Jia'an reminded Zhengde abruptly, if nothing happened, stay away from the water.

It's just that Zhengde doesn't understand the meaning of He Jiaan's words, what should be played is still to play, and what should be enjoyed is to continue to have fun.

Half a year later, an empty ship suddenly sailed back from the west, and the sailors on board brought bad news to Zhengde. After being submerged, only this boat survived and finally returned to Daming.

He Jiaan just died like this?

Zhengde believed it, but some people didn't believe it. Li Fu secretly sent many people to the West to search for it, but he never found any trace of He Jia'an. Instead, he heard that a new country was established in a place called Mancijia. The name is 'Huaxia'.
