Xia Yuanlong got off the sedan chair and walked straight into the spacious hall in front of him to meet the gentlemen from the alliance.
As the Literary League has grown bigger and bigger, the original small bamboo house can no longer accommodate these many people, so the year before last, a hall was built next to the academy, titled "Literary League" "Ting Hall", all important matters are discussed here to show the intention not to disturb the academy.
"Congratulations on the return of Deputy Xia!"
All the scholars stood up suddenly, left their seats one after another, and bowed to Yuan Long.
"I'm running around on weekdays and I've done this all the time. Why should I be so solemn? Just sit down." After that, Xia Yuanlong walked straight to the main seat and sat down in front of the desk.
Everyone seemed to have something on their minds and wanted to say nothing, but Yuan Long saw all of this clearly. Of course he understood what his colleagues were thinking, so he smiled meaningfully, pretended not to know, and said: "Mr. Wei said he summoned me urgently, but when I came back, he only talked about family affairs and not about serious business. He said he would elaborate in two days. I was puzzled and couldn't sit still, so I came here to ask all my colleagues."
Those old gentlemen who were opposed to assisting Wan Dang relied on Xia Yuanlong to support them. Now that they were given a chance to speak, they hurriedly pushed away the others and remonstrated: "Vice-President Xia, Mr. Wei is eager for success, and we We can all understand it. But he intends to cooperate with all parties to impeach the Mainland Party and worry about it. Most people in the alliance disapprove. Please report back to the alliance leader and reject this matter."
Yuan Long did not answer directly, but shouted loudly: "Is there anyone who benefits from this policy? Come forward!"
The two young men in the alliance supported Wei Huai's actions, and all the colleagues looked at them in unison, as if a sharp knife had pierced the two people's bones, making them sit on pins and needles, and had to bite the bullet and come out, bowing their heads and saluting: "It's us Two! If you want to scold me, then scold me."
Yuan Long twirled his beard and looked at the two of them leisurely, but seeing their unyielding expressions, as if they were dissatisfied, he stepped down from his seat and stood calmly in front of the two of them.
"...You two insist on favoring the government, are very resourceful, and do not agree with everyone else's opinions. You are truly heroes in our alliance!" Yuan Long suddenly laughed and patted the two of them on the shoulders, "When you return to the academy, Then each of them prepared twenty taels of silver as a reward!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in a state of uproar, and many suspicious eyes were cast on Yuan Long. They didn't understand.
"Thank you...Thank you, Vice-President Xia, for your approval! But this gold and silver is for the purpose of financing the New Deal. How dare we take it without permission? This is unjust. I hope Duke Xia will take it back!" The excitement of the two people was beyond words, and their hands were full of excitement. I don’t know where to put it.
Yuan Long knew his nature, so he stopped trying to persuade him. He just said, "If you two are determined to achieve the New Deal, I will force you to do it, but it will lose your good intentions. How about this, when you are in trouble for your livelihood, just go to the academy and take it away."
The two thanked him and returned to their seats with their heads held high.
Yuan Long looked up at the crowd again, and then said: "Suzhou has been lost. If our alliance does not seize this opportunity, all previous efforts will be wasted, and it can even be said that the way forward is cut off. Thousands of thieves and ministers, after the people know their true colors, they will all We must get rid of him quickly. Now we must first control Lu Fangxuan, and then fight for Wan's harmony. With tens of thousands gathered from all directions, even if he wants to break his promise, we won't be able to tolerate him when the time comes."
"I have made up my mind, I will lead the alliance to major in the performance, and fight against the Lu Party! If you have any objections, leave the hall, and if you don't have any objections, say 'good'!" Yuan Long's words were sonorous and powerful, frightening everyone. , all agreed.
After Wei Huai finished writing the reference version, he went to ask Xia Yuanlong to see if there was anything he could change. Yuan Long said: "My foolish brother's writing style is far inferior to that of the people. How dare you give advice rashly. But I can add my name to it and jointly write it, which may be more powerful."
Wei Huai was convinced, and was about to hand over the pen, but was afraid that he would not be good at using it, so he placed the pen holder in front of him: "My pen has been used for a long time, and the material has deteriorated, making it uncomfortable to write with. How about better?" Renying chooses one by himself."
Yuanlong laughed and said: "How can someone be so particular about writing a name?" He picked up a worse pen and wrote "Xia Yuanlong, Secretary of the Imperial College of Nanjing" and put down the pen.
"This is the impeachment of Wei Huai and Xia Yuanlong." One of Lu Fangxuan's confidants cautiously approached the corridor and handed over his hands.
"Read it." Lu Fangxuan patted the wooden railing rhythmically.
"yes."
"Wei Huai and Xia Yuanlong wrote: The Jianghuai River has always been the important place of the country, where fish and rice are produced. Merchant ships have been passing by, and Nanjing is the pivot. We can know its key points. Today, the Duke of Yue, Lu Fang... Mr. Lu, has been ordered to guard the forbidden area. , I admired the money given by the imperial court for a month, but I was still not satisfied with myself. I rewarded the officials indiscriminately, and there were many people who continued to mink. Among them, Qi Zi was the most poisonous. The consultant did not see any meritorious deeds, but just used old friends to hold soldiers and talismans. He behaves unscrupulously, banquets every day, spends tens of thousands of dollars, is extravagant, and takes the filthy wealth he hides at will, which makes the common people feel helpless. Honorable nobles are good at specialization, and there are lessons from the past and the present. I hope the court can control it!"
"It's unbearable!" Lu Fangxuan slapped the railing, causing it to creak. "Wan Heshun didn't have the ability to hide behind others and let Wei Huai block the knife for him. What a hypocritical villain..."
"Then, please give the order, Mr. Lu."
"No hurry, no rush," Lu Fangxuan regained his composure after getting angry, "Now is not the time to denounce Wan Heshun. You just need to send this letter..."
As he spoke, he grabbed the memorial, pointed at the cover and said, "Give this letter to Commander Qi... Do you understand?"
The confidant suddenly felt a chill creeping in from between his toes, and nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know. Don't tell me that you have seen it, don't you?"
Lu Fangxuan laughed loudly and threw the memorial back with confidence, and his confidant picked it up steadily.
"Mr. Lu, have you really never seen it?"
Qi Zi threw the memorial away in frustration and asked.
"I'm going to show it to you first, and then I'll show it to Mr. Lu when I get back." The confidant said angrily, lowering his head to pick up the memorial.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Zi suddenly became worried, "Leave this letter here and I will deliver it to Mr. Lu."
The confidant smiled slyly: "Ah, then all the leaders, please come with me now."
"You go back first. I still have important things to do. Trust me, I'll take it." Without saying a word, Qi Zi snatched the ginseng book from his hand and flipped through it at will.
The confidant sighed secretly, turned and left.
"Wait! Don't fucking leave!" Qi Zi's voice came from behind, frightening the confidant. He was about to dodge, but he held his shoulders and couldn't move any further.
The confidant turned around and smiled, showing a pair of yellow teeth: "May I ask...what's the matter?"
"See clearly, this seal is open." Qi Zi said sinisterly as a black line appeared on his face.
"The villain knows his mistake. He opened it privately."
"You have a bad excuse, I don't believe it." Qi Zi silently stretched out his fist.
