The early dynasty dispersed, Lu Yijian and the others were in a good mood, and they left together with each other talking and laughing.

Du Yan followed Lu Yijian's black and fat face like a flower, and said with a smile: "Today, thanks to Xiangye's cleverness, he raised the disadvantages of Su Jin's meritorious and famous imperial examination when discussing merit, which made Su Jin suffocated; Yan Shu'er's embarrassing appearance is really happy to look at Jiaojiao; Xiangye, how about going to my house for two glasses of wine? I have two new jars of Western Regions wine in my house, it is said that it is hot and strong, doesn't Lu Xiang like good wine that is strong and spicy? ”

Lu Yijian twisted his beard and smiled: "Du Shumi, do you need to be so happy?" Originally, today I was going to picket Su Jin's several major crimes, but it's a pity that this kid is sharp-toothed, and the emperor has the intention of defending it, so he let him escape. ”

Du Yan said in a low voice: "Count him lucky, but today can be regarded as wiping out most of Su Jin's credit, I heard that Yan Shu Lao'er blew the wind in the emperor's ear a few days ago, and wanted to insert Su Jin'an into the yamen of the three divisions and let him be the envoy of the three divisions; If it weren't for Lu Xiang pointing out Su Jin's biggest weakness today, if he really became the envoy of the degree, wouldn't he have to ride on our heads to pee. ”

Lu Yi glanced at Du Yan and said: "Du Shumi, the old man helped you, but he didn't want you and Yan Sansi to be incompatible, and the old man and Yan Shu had no grudges, but he instructed others to participate in my party and favoritism and personal use; It is already well known that you and him are competing for the position of the old man, but the old man warns you that it is the best policy to use wisdom and not force, but don't play some tricky means, once the emperor knows, it is impossible for you to get the phase. ”

Du Yan hurriedly said: "Lu Xiang rest assured, Shichang is an ignorant person who doesn't understand this; In this matter, I have to ask Lu Xiang to make more moves. ”

Lu Yijian smiled and said: "Don't worry, the old man will strongly recommend you, but the old man alone is not enough, the old man suggests that you play the emperor and transfer Pang Ji and Xia Zhu back to the capital to serve; In addition, the officials controlled by the old man, when discussing the candidates for the phase, we have the advantage of numbers, and the weight of our words is enough; Pang Ji and Xia Zhu are both important ministers relied on by the saints, and you must have a good relationship with them, otherwise even if you become the prime minister, how can you handle government affairs like a fish in water? ”

Du Yan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "Lu Xiang's golden and jade good words, Shichang has been taught; The easing of the war in the northwest was a good opportunity to transfer them back to Beijing, but in this way, it gave Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi a chance; As soon as Pang and Xia leave, Fan Han and the two will definitely rise. ”

Lu Yijian frowned and said, "You, you, don't you allow people to drink soup when you eat meat?" What are Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi afraid of when they are promoted? The higher they rise, the more these two people will be nailed to the northwest, as long as they don't come to cause trouble for you, what do you care so much? Do you still want Fan Zhongyan's smelly and hard guy to dangle in front of your eyes? ”

Du Yan smiled and said: "Lu Xiang's lesson is that it is better to be like this, Lu Xiang still follows me into the cold house for a few drinks, and Shichang also has a lot to ask for advice." ”

Lu Yijian laughed and walked away first.

……

When Lu Du and the two were talking, Su Jin was being led by the attendants to wait outside the Wende Hall on the west side of the Daqing Palace; Wende Hall is the place where Zhao Zhen deals with government affairs on a daily basis, after the early dynasty, Zhao Zhen will generally come here to deal with the major matters decided by the early dynasty, and many edicts and decrees are written here, so it is also the place where the ministers of the edict handle official business.

Fu Bi is an intellectual, and of course he has a place here, and with his acquaintance here, Su Jin felt a little more settled in his heart.

About a stick of incense, the chamberlain walked out of the hall and said to Su Jin: "Su Sheren, the emperor wants you to go in." ”

Su Jin almost didn't throw it up, Su Sheren? What is the name of this Nima, has he become a member of the Shi Pavilion? What this position is for, Su Jin doesn't know anything; But I can guess a few points.

In the history museum, the chief official who records the compilation of historical books is called the editor, and the assistants who assist are called the Zhiguan, the professor, and the living man who records the emperor's daily life and daily life. But this job of giving up people is probably a role in soy sauce, and if you don't get it, you will be a little one who dries books, carries things, pours tea, and cleans, and has no status at all.

Su Jin's heart is really uncomfortable, but the matter has come to this, it's useless to splash and roll, not to mention that he has done some shady things, and he is still empty in the bottom of his heart, and he should be thankful for saving his life; What's more important is not the size of this official, no matter how depressed you are, you have to endure it first, and there are several things to ask Zhao Zhen, if you really heat up the emperor, then the gains outweigh the losses.

In a warm pavilion on the east side of the Wende Palace, Zhao Zhen had already changed into civilian clothes, sitting behind the table with a book of music folds and reading, the waiter led Su Jin in, Zhao Zhen didn't notice it, while looking at the music watch, he reached out and grabbed a red pen and circled it around, muttering in his mouth.

Su Jin stood bent for a while, and saw that Zhao Zhen didn't mean to raise his head, so he coughed lightly; Zhao Zhen looked up and saw Su Jin at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out that the Sushe people came, why didn't they scream, but they neglected the Sushe people." ”

Su Jin heard the ridicule in his words, and said with a bitter face: "The emperor still calls Weichen's name, this official name is really not good, and the minister feels uncomfortable listening to it." ”

Zhao Zhen got up and circled around Su Jin and said, "You don't feel comfortable listening?" I'm not feeling well. ”

Su Jin heard that something was wrong, and cautiously glanced at Zhao Zhen with his eyes, but saw that Zhao Zhen's face was gloomy, and his two eyes were staring at him like a sharp sword, and he was suddenly stabbed in the back, very uncomfortable.

"You guys get out!" Zhao Zhen waved his hand to the palace maids and chamberlains, and everyone hurriedly withdrew from the warm pavilion and lowered the curtain.

Su Jin beat a drum in his heart, how can this Zhao Zhen be moody, in the blink of an eye, is this picture, can it be said ......?

"Su Jin, are you guilty?" Zhao Zhen's majestic and cold voice came into his ears.

Su Jin blinked innocently and said, "Your Majesty, what is the crime of Weichen?" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Zhen was furious, stretched out his hand and picked up a book of music folds and knocked on Su Jin's head, and said: "You are still pretending to be confused, you are still pretending to be confused, you are not going to treat me and the Manchu Dynasty as fools?" It's really hateful, and its heart is punishable! ”

Su Jin's heart was surging up, and as soon as these four words entered his ears, Su Jin's brain snorted, and his heart said: It's broken! I'm afraid the matter will be revealed.

I heard Zhao Zhen say angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to use military rations privately, this is a crime of rebellion, and you tell me, where did you get Long Zhen, don't think that I don't know, Long Zhen knows that you moved the military rations, you must be afraid that the matter will be revealed and arrest him; Say! Where have you hidden him? ”

Su Jin's mind was a mess, how did the emperor know about this? There are many people who know about the release of military rations, could it be that they went to the capital to tell the truth? Could it be Song Zhen? Gou Dasheng? Pan Jiang? Or is there an inner ghost around you? Or is it the ghost apparition of an informed official who has been slaughtered?

Su Jin thought about it one by one, but he didn't suspect Ouyang Xiu.

"Do you still want to deny death? Do you want someone to confront you? Zhao Zhen's temper was originally very gentle and gentle, but he also lost his demeanor at this moment, and the fold in his hand snapped on the back of Su Jin's head, and the twist was broken, and small butterflies popped out.

Su Jin's first reaction was that he couldn't live today! The second reaction was whether to pick up the inkstone on the table and give him a few strokes on Zhao Zhen's head; But Su Jin knew that even if he killed Zhao Zhen, he would not have a way to live, and he would not be able to get out of the palace, even if he was in this warm pavilion.

For the sake of today's plan, I can only succumb; Su Jin hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor is angry, Weichen deserves death, Weichen did move the military rations, but Weichen was forced to do so." ”

"Are you still justified in using military rations? I ask you, why are you so compelled to do so? Someone put a knife on your neck? Isn't it that you yourself despise the court and don't take the law of the country seriously? ”

Su Jin said aggrievedly: "The emperor is angry, Rong Chen explained the reason to you, you are so angry, the minister can't explain it, since you are so angry, you just ordered someone to kill the minister with a knife." ”

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "Naturally, I want to kill you, but before killing you, you still have to make it clear to me." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Please sit and listen, and Wei Chending will tell the whole thing word for word." ”

Zhao Zhen snorted, turned to the back of the desk and sat down, took a sip of tea and smoothed his breath, and said, "Get up and say!" ”
