Chapter 1184: A small gathering in the same year
As the sun sets, Jintaifang is rendered golden, and the place looks peaceful and peaceful.
The news reached Lin Haoran's ears, but it was at night. It's not that his sources aren't fast enough, it's that the north of the city is relatively far from the south of the city, so the news is always delivered at night.
It's just that this shocking news can't disturb him, and he still puts all his energy on the matter of collecting summer grain, as if he is really far away from the battle in the court.
At the time of the next office, Lin Haoran saw the tiger girl sitting on the wooden platform connected to the door waiting for him, so he walked home slowly with the tiger girl, while listening to the tiger girl chattering about some trivial matters.
Unlike those scheming women, Hu Niu doesn't seem to be able to hide words in her words, not only will she repeat the matter as it is, but she will also put her emotions into it.
"Brother, did you say that Concubine Li was greedy for my family's cheapness, and even forgot to bring a money bag when she bought an ordinary bag! It's my sister-in-law who is generous and doesn't bother with her, if it were me, she would have been like this three or four times, and she would definitely not play with her again in the future! ”
The afterglow of the sunset was reflected on the cute face of the tiger girl, and there was a look of hatred on her face, which was like saying today's events from the bottom of her heart.
"This is how it should be done, you just leave it to your sister-in-law, you don't keep quiet, your brother doesn't want to offend that Concubine Li!" Lin Haoran said solemnly.
"Brother, I know! I'm just telling you, I won't be so disproportionate! Hu Niu naturally raised her head in response, but asked curiously: "Brother, is that Concubine Li's belly a boy?" I've heard people say that if she gives birth to a boy, then she should be able to be a concubine, and if she gives birth to a girl, then she will have to be a concubine! ”
"How do I know if she gave birth to a boy or a girl, and I'm not a miracle doctor, stop this topic!" Lin Haoran replied insincerely, and put on the supreme majesty of his brother.
The tiger girl shrugged her shoulders indifferently, in fact, she didn't care that Concubine Li, who likes to take advantage of others, was born a boy and a girl, and it was better to catch a few more bad people with this kung fu.
The two brothers and sisters walked back from a walk in the afterglow of the sunset while chatting, and when they arrived at the house, they were told by the housekeeper Lin Jinyuan that Yang Futian, Ning Jiang and Xiao Jinnian had arrived in the same year, and they were having tea in the living room.
Lin Haoran was slightly surprised, and then happily went to the living room to meet guests.
Since the last "Save the Teacher Operation" was a complete success, the relationship between several people has become more cordial, and they sometimes come to Lin Mansion for dinner together.
Lin Jinyuan also knew that his master had a good relationship with this gang of the same year, so he took the first step to instruct his subordinates to arrange good wine and food, and soon set up a table of wine and food in the flower hall.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Yang Futian was the most well-behaved one in front of Wu Shan, but he was the most active person here in the same year, and he stopped his chopsticks to provoke the topic and said: "It is worthy of being the second assistant who controls the center, and the problem is far higher than ours!" Now more than ten embankments have been pulled in, if you really want to be held accountable, Yan Ge Lao Ke will bear the brunt! ”
"Yes, this pool of water is muddy, and Elder Xu Ge can be regarded as teaching us a lesson!" Long Chizhong, the head of the Ministry of Rites, nodded approvingly, and at the same time chewed the dish in admiration.
In the eyes of many people, the unsolvable situation was resolved by Xu Jie's genius, which made their low-level officials, who had been in the officialdom for more than four years, admire Xu Jie's methods very much.
Ning Jiang, the head of the military department, has always been vicious and hateful, but he snorted sarcastically while holding a wine glass: "Elder Xu Ge is interesting!" He has been in the cabinet for ten years, so he doesn't know about the imperial court's reduction in the cost of water conservancy projects? Could it be that more than ten embankment failures have nothing to do with him this time? ”
When everyone heard these words, they also shook their heads with a wry smile.
Although many officials in the court now condemn Yan Song's inaction, and some officials have been impeached from time to time over the years, but why is Xu Jie not a person who aids and abuses?
It's just that many people understand that Yan Song is now gradually getting older, and it doesn't matter if he scolds a few words in private. It's just that Xu Jie is still "young" now, and if these words reach his ears, I'm afraid he will be liquidated in the future.
"Brother Jiang, this matter is not within the scope of today's discussion!" Long Chizhong immediately suppressed this topic because of his age, and returned to the theme again: "Now that Xu Ge is making such a fuss, it can be regarded as involving the emperor, so that the emperor has to be afraid of the public opinion of the people in the southeast, I am afraid that he will not let Yan Shifan investigate the case of destroying the embankment and flooding the fields!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Futian immediately rejected with a smile: "This is a bad word!" Yan Shifan asked Dong Wei to set off today, which can be regarded as avoiding the palace people sent by the emperor! ”
When Xiao Jinian and the others heard that there was still this fresh information, their eyes couldn't help but brighten, and they suddenly came to their senses.
Lin Haoran, who was sitting at the chief, didn't want to be a spectator all the time, so he also participated in the discussion and said: "Yan Shifan is a smart person, but I'm afraid he is not a mature politician!" ”
"Senior brother, what do you mean by this!" Yang Futian and the others were a little dazed, and looked at Lin Haoran in confusion.
Lin Haoran held a beautiful white porcelain cup with a beautiful pattern, took a sip of wine slowly, and then asked with a smile: "Why do you say that Yan Song has been able to sit firmly in Shoufu for twenty years?" ”
"The emperor's favor!" Yang Futian and others have been staying in the capital as officials, and they still have this bit of eyesight, even if they give an authentic answer.
Lin Haoran put the white porcelain wine glass on the table, nodded lightly and said, "Yes, it is the emperor's favor!" Yan Ge Lao can be said to think about what the emperor thinks, anxious about what the emperor is anxious about, and even takes Xiyuan as his home! After a pause, he raised his head and looked at everyone and continued: "Now Yan Shifan asked Dong Wei to deliberately avoid the emperor, not to mention whether Dong Wei can successfully clean up Xu Kun's crimes when he arrives in Songjiang, this move is undoubtedly a loss of one or the other. If the emperor knew the truth, how would the emperor think of Yan Shifan? ”
Wrath? Hate? Chop off his head!
Yang Futian and the others flashed terrifying thoughts, and their mouths opened slightly. I thought that Yan Shifan was a shrewd approach, but now it seems that it is an extremely stupid move.
Long Chizhong had a different opinion, and said hypothetically: "Senior brother, if Dong Wei goes to Songjiang Mansion and successfully collects the evidence of Xu Kun's destruction of the embankment and flooded fields, I'm afraid this move can be regarded as a clever move, right?" ”
"If you really get the evidence so smoothly, and then pretend to be Xu Jie, this is indeed a clever trick!" Lin Haoran nodded approvingly, but still changed his words and said: "It's just that the matter is known to the emperor, Yan Shifan can also be regarded as killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, do you think the saint will continue to reuse Yan Shifan?" ”
Yang Futian's eyes suddenly brightened, and he patted his thigh excitedly and said, "I have a great idea!" If it comes at that time, let's poke this matter out and let the emperor hate Yan Shifan, it's not good! ”
Xiao Jinian's eyes lit up immediately, but they didn't say anything lightly, but turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran, wanting this wise backbone to take an idea.
"Huh...... Let's have a toast! ”
Lin Haoran smiled heartily, raised his wine glass and shouted to drink tea, Yang Futian and others followed suit, knowing that his meaning was already in the wine.
What they want is never Yan Sheng or Xu Sheng, but they hope that they will lose both, so as to reap the benefits of the fish. Now that Yan Shifan has fallen into this flaw, they don't mind stabbing him at the right time.
If necessary, they will probably join in and muddy the water in the capital. Therefore, some people say that the capital is a big whirlpool, and this statement is probably true.
