Chapter 962 Talk of Yang Zhang

"Hehehe, Brother Nian, please come in quickly. Today, Brother Nian came to visit, and suddenly made the humble house flourish. It is a great honor to be here."

Zhang Juzheng walked quickly outside the mansion, saw Yang Jisheng from a distance, arched his hands, strode forward, and greeted Yang Jisheng with a smile at the same time.

Today, why did Yang Jisheng come here?

Regarding Yang Jisheng's visit, Zhang Juzheng felt a little abrupt and puzzled. He and Yang Jisheng were Jinshi in the same year, and they were both under Xu Jie's family, but they didn't have close contacts on weekdays. Yang Jisheng came to visit his house for the first time.

"Uncle, you are being polite, Sheng, I am ashamed."

Yang Jisheng smiled and cupped his hands in return. When he cupped his hands, a small section of rice paper was exposed in his sleeve.

Zhang Juzheng saw a piece of rice paper in Yang Jisheng's sleeve, and his eyelids twitched. The appearance and shape of this rice paper is quite similar to the memorial book. So Yang Jisheng came here today for this memorial book, right?

"Hehe, Brother Nian, please come in." Zhang Juzheng felt a gully in his heart, as if he didn't see the flashing melody in Yang Jisheng's sleeve on his face, he stretched out his hand enthusiastically and made a gesture of invitation, inviting Yang Jisheng to come in. government.

"Uncle, please."

Yang Jisheng gave way, and then the two walked into Zhang's residence together.

After Zhang Juzheng invited Yang Jisheng to the study, he personally took a tin can from the museum shelf, opened it, took an appropriate amount of tea with a teaspoon, and brewed a pot of tea.

"Brother Nian, this is the Dahongpao from my old family. It is said that the mother tree comes from the three Dahongpao trees in the Nine Dragons Nest behind Tianxin Yongle Temple. I can only share such a pot every year, and I invite Brother Nian to taste it. One or two."

After the tea was brewed, Zhang Juzheng poured Yang Jisheng a cup of tea, brought it to Yang Jisheng with both hands, and said with a smile.

Dahongpao is a new top tea in Ming Dynasty. The reason why Zhang Juzheng emphasized the three Dahongpao trees in Jiulong Nest is because of the allusion of Dahongpao.

Related During the Hongwu period, Ding Xian, the son of Jiangnan, went to Beijing to rush for the exam. When he passed Wuyi Mountain, he fell ill due to unacceptable water and soil, eating and sleeping in the open, and fainted at the foot of Wuyi Mountain. At that time, it happened that the old abbot of Tianxin Yongle Temple on Wuyi Mountain came down to alms for alms, and saw Ding Xian who was ill at the foot of Wuyi Mountain. Therefore, the benevolent old abbot asked someone to carry Ding Xian to Tianxin Yongle Temple. The old abbot was proficient in medical theory. Seeing Ding Xian's pale face, thin body and abdominal distension, the old abbot picked tea from the Jiulong nest, brewed it with boiling water, and made tea for Ding Xian to drink. After Ding Xian drank the first bowl of tea, he felt that his abdominal distension had subsided a lot. After drinking the second bowl, he felt that the effect was more obvious, and his energy was also much better, so Ding Xian drank several bowls of tea in a row. After drinking tea like this for a few days, Ding Xian recovered quickly. After recovering, Ding Xian continued to go to Beijing to take the exam. Before leaving, he thanked the abbot: "The abbot rescued me after seeing righteousness. If Xiaosheng passes the exam today, he will return to his hometown to thank him."

After Ding Xian entered Beijing, not long after, he was indeed the number one scholar in high school.

Actually speaking, Ding Xian's high school champion and Zhu Ping'an still have some similarities, and it is also because of a dream of the emperor. According to legend, Ding Xian was not among the top three when the scientific examination was completed and the results were counted. During the examination, Ding Xian ranked fourth. During the palace examination, the rankings of the top three were exchanged, Hua Lun ranked first, but Ding Xian still ranked fourth. At that time, the officials were all gone. However, on the first night of the roll call, Emperor Hongwu had a dream. In his dream, he saw a huge nail nailed in front of the main hall, and two red ribbons hung from under the nail. In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Hongwu took apart the results of the palace examination, and found that the first place was named Hualun. Emperor Hongwu found a reason to put Hualun in the back, and began to look at the rankings backwards, and then I saw Ding Xian's name. Ding Zheding also, the traditional character of Xianzi is "Xian", which happens to be double silk under the sun. Emperor Hongwu suddenly felt that this was a reminder from a dream, so he promoted Ding Xian to be the number one scholar.

After Ding Xian became the number one scholar in high school, he asked Emperor Hongwu to allow him to return to Tianxin Yongle Temple in Wuyi Mountain immediately to repay his kindness. Therefore, Ding Xian, dressed in the red robe of the number one scholar, rode a tall horse and went straight to Wuyi Mountain. He rode fast all the way, and when he arrived at Wuyi Mountain, he thanked the abbot. Afterwards, Ding Xian asked where the tea he drank was from, and the old abbot took him to the place where the three big red robes were grown in Jiulong Nest, and told him that it was exactly this tea. The Dahongpao was draped on the tea tree, hence the name Dahongpao.

Of course, later Ding Xian offered tea to cure Empress Ma's illness, which made Dahongpao even more famous. With a wave of his imperial brush, Emperor Hongwu identified Dahongpao as imperial tea. Every year, officials who go to Wuyi Mountain to pick imperial tea wear Dahongpao. After they arrive, they untie their robes and hang them on the tribute tea tree. The Dahongpao has become more and more famous.

…

"In this way, Sheng is really lucky, ha ha..." Yang Jisheng smiled and stretched out his hand to take the tea cup handed by Zhang Juzheng. In the tea cup, the tea was rich in fragrance, and the tea soup was orange-yellow, clear and beautiful.

"The aroma is elegant, the rock rhyme is sweet and smooth, and there is a touch of incense in the throat. Compared with the most authentic Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain, it is even better. If you want to come to Shuda's hometown, it is true. This tea should be Undoubtedly quoted from Dahongpao in Nine Dragons Nest."

Yang Jisheng scraped the tea cover a few times, then took a sip, after a while, he was full of praise for the tea.

"Wine is less than a thousand cups when you meet a bosom friend, and the same is true for tea. Later, Juzheng will share half of the tea with Brother Nian and take it back to taste it." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile, as if meeting a bosom friend.

"That won't work. Gentlemen don't take people's love. I can see that this tea is deeply loved by uncles. Hehe, Sheng, I won't be a person who takes love." Yang Jisheng smiled and waved his hands, politely rejecting Zhang Juzheng's kindness.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the topic changed from tea to politics.

"Uncle, have you heard about Zihou's impeachment of Gao Botai?" Yang Jisheng asked nonchalantly after taking a sip of tea.

"Well, Mr. Zhu heard about Gao Botai's impeachment in the morning."

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly, thinking that the memorial in Yang Jisheng's sleeve was the copy of Zhu Ping'an's memorial. Did Yang Jisheng come to discuss Zhu Ping'an's memorial with me?

"Then, what does uncle think about Zihou's impeachment?" Yang Jisheng raised his head, looked directly into Zhang Juzheng's eyes, and asked softly.

"I already know the inside story of Mr. Zhu's impeachment of Gao Botai today. This is Gao Botai's own fault. If what Mr. Zhu said in the memorial about Gao Botai's occupation of the farmland is true, then Gao Botai's death is not a pity. Mr. Zhu's memorial is for the people. Eliminating harm is indeed a role model for my generation, and Juzheng is ashamed of himself." Zhang Juzheng first took a sip of tea from his teacup, then put down the teacup, and looked at Yang Jisheng calmly.
