Chapter 559 The trouble left behind
It turns out that the person standing there writing at this moment is actually Jie Jin.
Now Xie Jin, because of drinking, his clothes were messy and he had a wild smile on his face.
I don't know how many words he wrote, but there were a few more ink marks on his face, making him look even more sloppy.
While he was writing, he was mumbling something about something.
People around him either bought his calligraphy or were watching the excitement. Unknowingly, a lot of people had gathered.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ye Xuan, who also looked very embarrassed at the moment.
After all, strictly speaking, Xie Jin should still be his subordinate and disciple.
During the Chinese New Year, a dignified official of the imperial court was selling calligraphy on the street. If someone from Yushitai saw it, he would probably be severely impeached and fined.
What's more, if it's just a matter of buying letters, Xie Jin is still disheveled, which is undoubtedly embarrassing to the court.
This matter is actually big or small, but now, Ye Xuan is not sure what Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude is.
He is a cautious person, so he did not speak in time.
But Zhu Biao was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be angry, so he quickly helped to explain. However, he did not know the truth after all, so the content of his explanation was empty and pale.
"Father, Emperor Mingjian, maybe Xie Jin has some difficulties."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his face, snorted coldly from his nose, and then stepped towards Jie Jin.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao quickly followed him, still urging him.
But the more he acted like this, the more dissatisfied Zhu Yuanzhang became. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped and asked Zhu Biao.
"Do we seem so cruel and unkind? So pedantic?"
Zhu Biao didn't know how to answer this sentence, so he could only stay in place, his face full of embarrassment, but he still tried hard to keep a smile.
Ye Xuan saw this and felt funny in his heart, but he held it back.
Queen Ma looked at the situation in the distance curiously. She didn't go out of the palace often and didn't know about Jie Jin, because she saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others stopped at this moment, and they didn't know what they were arguing about.
I can't help but feel a little confused.
Fortunately, there was Shen Rong beside her, and with her explanation, Queen Ma quickly figured out the cause and effect.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a nostalgic person. After becoming emperor, he lost his personal life and talked much less with Empress Ma.
In addition, because the court has many rules, many topics are taboo.
Therefore, sometimes when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to chat with Queen Ma, he would pick out some interesting things in the court.
Naturally, the matter of Jie Jin was mentioned to Queen Ma after dinner.
Empress Ma has a good memory and remembers this strange boy.
Now that I really saw a real person, I believed what Zhu Yuanzhang said. There was no exaggeration in the slightest, but I also felt more curious in my heart.
She didn't understand why the dignified imperial official, even if he temporarily lost his official position, was still there and was reduced to selling letters on the streets.
Shen Rong speculated: "Maybe it's because the Xie family has encountered some difficulties. It's not necessarily that he is an upright official. It's normal for him to be short of money."
Empress Ma nodded, feeling that there was some truth in her words. After all, compared to the previous dynasties, the salary of the Ming Dynasty was actually very low.
There are actually many factors that caused this situation, the most important of which was that the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, and many officials actually had titles and various salaries, which were enough to accumulate.
And to take a step back, families who are qualified to study actually have some financial resources. Today, the country has just been founded, so what most people are pursuing is reputation rather than profit.
Under such circumstances, even if the prices in society are soaring, it is no longer the situation that the rules were formulated when the country was first founded, and no one is willing to be the first to stand up and raise salaries.
After all, a gentleman values righteousness and a villain values profit. These officials do not want to leave a reputation of being greedy for money in the history books.
So in fact, many people, if their family conditions are not good, will secretly find other ways to make a living, such as ghostwriting articles.
But no one has yet brought it to the public. After all, if it were really brought out, it would be a slap in the face of the court.
Empress Ma figured out the clues and felt that what Shen Rong said was the truth.
She frowned slightly, intending to step forward to help and say a few words of kindness, but due to the rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, she was a little hesitant and didn't know whether she should go.
On the other side, Xie Jin also noticed several people watching.
Normally, he would be cautious and at least think about him before taking action.
But now, he has drunk a lot of wine, and he is groggy, so naturally he lacks some sense.

Seeing Ye Xuan, Xie Jin immediately stood up and walked towards Ye Xuan.
"Teacher, you are here, why didn't you tell me earlier? I heard you were injured, why are you here?"
Jie Jin asked a series of questions, and before Ye Xuan could answer, his eyes were fixed on Zhu Yuanzhang.
"His Majesty!"
Before Ye Xuan could react, he knelt down directly towards Zhu Yuanzhang.
Everyone just thought that he had drunk too much and was already drunk, but many people turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked strange, and he choked back what he originally wanted to say.
He flicked his sleeves and walked out of the crowd. Seeing this, Ye Xuan hurried to follow him, not caring about Xie's life or death.
Zhu Biao glanced at Jie Jin, sighed, and said, "Do what you want," and then chased him into the distance.
By this moment, Xie Jin had mostly sobered up from his wine.
He stared blankly into the distance, his heart full of worry, but he also knew that it was too late to say anything at this moment.
The group of people walked some distance again, Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped and his mood calmed down a lot.
He looked at Ye Xuan and said helplessly: "After what happened, we can't just hang out. We have to go back to the palace! This Jie Jin is really annoying us!"
When Ye Xuan heard this, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang actually felt sorry for Xie Jin, but he did not point it out, but echoed it.
The monarch and his ministers chatted for a few more words, and then dispersed.
Walking on the street, Shen Rong held Ye Xuan's hand and returned along the original road.
The two originally planned to find Xie Jin and ask about the situation.
Shen Rong even felt that if the other party needed help, it wouldn't be a problem to give him a small subsidy, but he couldn't let Xie Jin buy money on the street like he did now.
After all, this incident has alarmed Zhu Yuanzhang. If he continues to ignore it, it will be no good to anyone.
And in the eyes of two people. Xie Jin is indeed a talented man. If there is any trouble caused by the impeachment of the imperial censor, the gain will outweigh the loss.
But when the two returned to the original place, Xie Jin had already disappeared. Looking at the empty place, Ye Xuan sighed and then said something to Shen Rong.
"I hope he didn't cause any trouble!".
