"Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"Hey, you don't know about such a big thing? The imperial court took Hefei back from the rebels!"
"really?"
"Is this still false? There was a lot of noise outside early this morning..."
"It's good now, these guard soldiers finally fought a decent battle!"
"That's right, Mr. Sheng has to take action!"
…
One morning, the whole city of Beijing was filled with the joy of the imperial court harvesting compound fertilizer.
These ordinary people may be oppressed by official servants on a daily basis, but the Chinese people always naively believe that those who oppress them are the servants, and the court is still good, and the ministers are still good.
Even if the army wins the battle, all the people will still be happy for their Wei Dynasty and their emperor.
Although this battle is thousands of miles away from Beijing...
"The chief minister entered the palace last night!" Xu Song said to Xu He, who was sitting opposite him on the carriage.
Xu He smiled: "It seems that what we expected last night was not bad. This Lord Cifu is much smarter than the previous Xia Cifu."
Xu Song smiled and did not answer. At this time, the two generations were thinking about one thing at the same time.
After all the tossing and tossing, haven’t you been toyed with by that person in the midst of applause?
Xu He suddenly said: "Uncle, Chief Minister Qin probably won't be able to leave!"
Xu Song nodded: "Wu Xingbang shot himself in the foot. Although the Shandong Road Supervisory Censor was not his disciple, he learned about the Qin family's smuggling of iron ingots and decided that it was Wu Xingbang who leaked it. We here Mr. Jifu, you can be considered very thoughtful!"
Of course, forget it, it’s a good way to make a series of plans and a good hand to push the boat smoothly.
However, those who play tricks will eventually be played by tricks.
Wu Xingbang is, and so is that one.
If he hadn't called Chen Hong to send a message, how could Xu He have decided to hold back his troops.
People all claim to be smart, but often their intelligence is mistaken for their intelligence.
Xu Song sighed: "Let's end this matter! Don't talk about it anymore, but Liangsheng, I believe you will learn something through this matter, right? Beijing is not Hailing County, and the imperial court is not yours." In the study room, great wisdom and foolishness are the long-lasting solutions!"
Xu He nodded and said nothing, but he knew that this was only the first class after entering Beijing, but this class was extremely vivid.
It was so vivid that he had to think carefully about his future and how he should handle himself as an official.
At this time, Xu Peng said outside the car: "Uncle, we're here!"
Xu Song heard this and said to Xu He: "You go back and sleep for a while. Whatever happens, let's talk about it when you get back."
"Yes, uncle!"
…
In the Longevity Palace, Emperor Zhizheng slowly opened his eyes while meditating: "Wang Ji, what time is it?"
"Your Majesty, it's already noon!" Wang Ji, who hadn't slept all night, had heavy bags under his eyes.
Emperor Zhizheng said: "What's the movement?"
"The Chief Assistant has sent messages to people several times, saying that he wants to see His Majesty. He seems to be very anxious!"
"Um!"
"Is Xu Song here?"
When Wang Ji heard Xu Song's name, he looked at Emperor Zhizheng, and then replied: "We've arrived!"
"Is there any movement in the Xu family last night?"
"According to reports from people below, I heard that the front yard of the Xu family was brightly lit that night, and Zhongshu Yao Chunchen returned to his own home after coming out of the Xu family! In the meantime, one of the Xu family members went out to see the teacher at Mr. Cifu's house. It turned out that Zhang Congyun, the youngest son of Zhang Sen, Minister of War."
"Haha, I am alert! He is what a cabinet minister should be!"
"Then what?"
"Then no one came in or out anymore. Until not long ago, Mr. Xu Ge, accompanied by Xu He, came outside the palace. Mr. Ge entered the duty house on his own. Then Xu He took a carriage back home and has not left yet!"
"What's going on in the mansion?"
"Mr. Qin Ge has been waiting for the summons at the gate of the inner garden. Mr. Wu Ge is reviewing the imperial examination documents with Academician Qiu. Now there is only Mr. Xu Ge in the house! Mr. Xu Ge is handling the memorials from various places as usual, and there is nothing abnormal at the moment!"
When Emperor Zhizheng heard this, he closed his eyes again.
It wasn't until an hour later that he slowly stood up, and Wang Ji quickly stepped forward to help him.
"Go and ask Qin Yan to come in!"
…
When Qin Yan arrived at Wanshou Palace, Emperor Zhizheng was lying on a warm couch and taking a nap.
Wang Ji said with a smile: "Your Majesty was very happy last night when he heard that the army had taken over Compound Fertilizer and Guichi, so he didn't get any rest!"
Although Qin Yan was anxious, he still smiled and said: "Your Majesty works hard on state affairs, but you also ask your father-in-law to work with you. Thank you for your hard work!"
After speaking, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that my father-in-law has a nephew from the river who came to seek refuge?"
Wang Ji was stunned and said with a smile: "I have never seen a child from my youngest brother's family!"
"Oh! It's hard to find a living in Beijing now!"
Wang Ji smiled slightly and said: "That's right, but as a person who has left home, I can't help as much as I can, so I'll do my best!"
Qin Yan smiled: "Quinzi happens to have a shop, but now he is short of a shopkeeper. I wonder if my nephew is interested in doing business?"
"this……"
"You don't have to go every day, just go for a walk at the end of May! The errands are not heavy, the dog has a lot to do, but he lacks someone to look after him!"
Wang Ji smiled and said nothing, but looked at Qin Yan.
When Qin Yan saw Wang Ji's eyes, he was immediately reassured.
Just at this moment, there was movement in the palace.
Wang Ji quickly left Qin Yan and walked in. After a while, Qin Yan was announced inside.
As soon as he entered the palace, Qin Yan suddenly seemed like a different person. He was no longer chatting and laughing with Wang Ji outside the palace just now.
When he entered the palace, he lay down on the ground, crying with snot and tears: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, I have failed Your Majesty!"
Emperor Zhizheng frowned and said, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it when we get up?"
Qin Yan quickly got up and huddled aside, sobbing.
"Aren't you bothered? I'm so old, why are you crying? Just tell me if you have something to say!" Emperor Zhi Zheng played with the jade Ruyi in his hand boredly.
Qin Yan said: "Your Majesty, my bastard son Qin Que actually colluded with Mr. Liang Mou will be captured together and dealt with severely!"
"Hmph, selling iron!" Emperor Zhizheng sneered: "We still use the official ship of Jinyiwei. You Qin family really have many ideas and many methods!"
Hearing this, Qin Yan fell to the ground again: "I think your son is not suitable for being an official. So, if he wants to be a businessman, then go for it! Don't be an official!"
When Qin Yan heard this, he was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe.
"As for you!" Emperor Zhizheng held it for a while.
"If you don't teach your children strictly, you will be fined for one year!"
Qin Yan, who was lying on the ground, was overjoyed when he heard this decision. He cried bitterly and said: "Your Majesty's grace, I miss you! I will never be able to repay you even if I die!"
Emperor Zhizheng smiled, put the jade Ruyi on the bank, and then said to Qin Yan: "It just so happens that you, the chief assistant, are here to draw up a decree to deprive Lu Yunshen of the post of commander of the Jinyi Guards! After sending the Jinyi Guards to prison, he appointed the new commander of the capital. Let Guo Zhu inquire carefully about his illegal activities!"
When Qin Yan heard this, he almost collapsed and couldn't get up this time.
