There is no room for the palace, and the sandalwood is curling.

Yan Song, who had to be white, bowed his head in front of the case, and was conscientiously handling the notes on the case. Although there was less sparse performance on the case, his mind was also much slower, and he had already begun to suffer from amnesia.

In this mild and fragrant room, his face looked solemn, and he was looking at the battle report presented by the Cantonese side. When he saw the name of "Zhang Lian", he lost his mind for a long time, and always felt that this name seemed familiar, especially the word "Lian".

It wasn't until the personal servant walked in and whispered in his ear: "Xu Ge Lao Fang just brought a Taoist priest to Yuxi Palace" that he understood why "Zhang Lian" gave him this feeling.

At the age of eighteen, he won the second place in the second class of the second class of the Yichou department at the age of twenty-four, and entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and three years later was awarded the Hanlin Editing from the Seventh Grade.

At that time, his official career was undoubtedly extremely smooth, and his future was bright. It was just a sudden serious illness that forced him to retire and return to Yuanzhou, Jiangxi, and recuperate and study in his hometown for ten years.

In the past ten years, his greatest achievement is to compile and revise the "Zhengde Yuanzhou Mansion Chronicles", which can be regarded as doing something for his hometown.

And the person who asked him to do this thing was Xu Lian, the prefect of Yuanzhou at the time, and the two also formed a deep friendship, but this old acquaintance "Xu Lian" was almost completely forgotten by him.

The years passed in such a hurry, and some important people were gradually forgotten by him, and he changed from a handsome young man to a dying old man with old spots on his face.

His birthday was the 22nd day of the first lunar month, and he saw that his 83rd birthday was approaching, but he did not feel the slightest joy.

He has been in this position for more than twenty years, but as he gets older, he may not have much time left in the position of first assistant. Although the saint promised to let him work until he died of old age, even if it was true, I am afraid that it would be just a false title.

Especially in this year's Jingcha year, his right to speak may be below Xu Jie, and Guo Pu, the current secretary of the ministry, will no longer buy his account. However, he was also tired, and it was time for Xu Jie to show his foot boxing.

"I've seen Motosuke-sama!"

Yuan Wei walked in from outside and saluted respectfully.

Yan Song hadn't reacted at the beginning, but fortunately, he was reminded by the close wait, so he raised his head and saw Yuan Wei, a junior, the current No. 1 master of Qingci in the Ming Dynasty.

For this junior who has no foundation, whether it is him or Xu Jie, I am afraid that he will not be regarded as a threat. After Yuan Wei entered the cabinet, he did not make a move to fight for power, and he was a person who seemed to be very peaceful.

Yan Song's brain was sluggish, but he was not suddenly confused, knowing that he had someone call Yuan Wei, he pointed to the book on the case and said, "Maozhong, take a look!" ”

"Good!" Yuan Wei's eyes were suspicious, and when he heard this, he picked up the copy and prepared to read it.

Yan Song, who was wearing a reckless robe, stopped what he was doing and said to Yuan Wei earnestly: "Maozhong, the truth of the matter, I'm afraid you have to explain it to the saint!" ”

Hey?

Yuan Wei thought that Yan Song had something to ask him for advice, and his waist couldn't help but straighten up a little, but listening to Yan Song's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, and felt that something was wrong.

Although he was prosperous and deeply favored by the saints, he never gave up his vigilance and knew that this officialdom had always been sinister. In the past, Li Mo was so beautiful, but it was only a day and night, but he was suddenly imprisoned and emaciated.

Yuan Wei knew that this recital was very likely to be related to him, so he slowly unfolded the recital, and saw the line on it: "Luo Dachong in the Nanjing Household Department Gives Things: Yuan Wei, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, ......".

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, looking disapproving. As the so-called popular people are right and wrong, he has entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister since he was a small waiter for a few years, and there is no one who is red-eyed.

When he entered the cabinet last year, there were several impeachment notes against him one after another, but they were all trivial things, and at most he was given an unruly hat.

When the matter came to the Holy One, the Holy One not only did not blame him, but rewarded him with some good things.

It's just that he continued to look at the content of the impeachment by Song Shu, but he showed a hint of solemnity, but this time it was impeachment that he disrespected the division commander.

It's not something out of nowhere, it's an old thing. Because he suspected the teacher of chattering, he was arrogant at that time, and he contradicted the teacher twice, but he never thought that this matter was turned over, and it was still played.

This matter can be big or small, if it was in the past, he didn't even bother to pay attention to it. It's just that at this point in time to seek the chief examiner of the examination, if he is really detained as "disrespecting the teacher", I am afraid that the chief examiner of the examination will have no chance with him.

Faintly, he felt an invisible pressure to deal with this impeachment of him carefully, after all, it was related to his quest for the examiner.

As soon as he thought of this, he continued to look down, and suddenly his pupils contracted slightly.

thought that "disrespecting the teacher" was enough for him to worry about, but when he saw that he was impeached for accepting 5,000 taels of silver and pearls worth thousands of taels from candidates who went to Beijing during the Spring Festival, his heart was immediately shocked.

"Five thousand taels of bribe?"

Yuan Wei looked at the content of this impeachment, but his heart was pounding.

Since he became a cabinet minister, his status has naturally risen, and this year, countless people have found various reasons to send money to him and his family. It was very helpless that his wife was a woman who loved money, and he vaguely remembered that his wife seemed to have a black pearl as big as a pigeon's egg.

Regardless of the truth of the matter, if the content of this impeachment is used by someone with a heart, then he will really have no chance with the examiner.

How can a person with questionable moral character become the examiner and a role model? In particular, accepting bribes from candidates has always been extremely taboo.

The most important thing is that if the meeting presided over by him, and the candidate who "bribed" really passed the exam, then he would be speechless. In the imperial examination, the truth does not matter, as evidenced by the former Nanfang Bang case and Tang Yin's fraud case.

"Who is it?"

Yuan Wei knew very well that there must be someone behind the incident of this Nanjing household department, and it was a big man who provided Luo Dachong with courage and intelligence, so as to give him such a fierce attack.

At this moment, he felt the sinister of officialdom, and at the same time, an invisible sword was pointed at him.

Suddenly, he looked at this old Shousuke with unarmed hands and feet, and a deep chill surged up his spine, and the person behind him was obvious.
