Gao Ruona suddenly shouted: "No, no, there is something unknown to the lower official." ”

Su Jin said with his hand: "What questions does the senior deputy envoy have?" ”

Gao Ruona said in a heart: "According to what Master Su said, the public housing of the officials of the Yamen is only a temporary residence here, and after today, where will they go to live and work?" ”

Su Jin smiled and did not answer: "You follow me to the tenth street of the West Chamber, so you naturally understand. ”

Su Jin took Zuo Daoying's arm and walked west along the asphalt street to the tenth street, but saw that the houses on both sides of the road had already hung various plaques, and the public housing yamen of the various ministries under the jurisdiction of the road envoy had been prepared, and the officials had already taken their places; A two-storey stone building in the south of the road is newly decorated, there are two stone lions squatting in front of the door, and the door is hung with a large plaque of the road envoy yamen.

Su Jin said with a smile: "This is the original location of the Yamen public housing at all levels that has been prepared, this tenth street I have named it Guoning Street, and the house number of the government is No. 10, in the future, all the road envoys will settle in Pearl City, and their offices and residences are all at No. 10 Guoning Street, which is a rule I have set. ”

Zuo Daoying and Gao Ruona looked at each other in surprise, they had been here a few days ago on this tenth street, and at that time there was no official residence yamen at all, and when they came back in just a few days, they actually turned into the location of the yamen office that Su Jin said in his mouth.

Gao Ruona still had to say a few words, but Zuo Daoying already understood that he was tired of it, so he hurriedly pulled Gao Ruona lightly and arched his hand: "Master Su is thoughtful, admirable, and built a palace for the emperor in Pearl City, the emperor must be very happy to learn about it, and I will definitely report this matter to the emperor after returning to Beijing, and the emperor will be rewarded." ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is the head of Lao Zuo to bother, I have also written a song to play the emperor, respectfully ask the emperor to come up to the pearl city west tour, the palace imitates the pattern in the palace, the emperor west tour to settle here, it will not be inconvenient to live, and it can be regarded as a courtier for the emperor's small consideration." ”

Zuo Daoying was speechless, obviously Su Jin saw through his own purpose, and arranged so many cover-up things overnight, not only taught people to not be able to punish him for this matter, but on the contrary, he expressed a heart of loyalty, that is, the emperor knew that he was playing tricks, and on the surface, he could only praise him, but could not punish him on this ground; Amazing, really powerful, gently and skillfully resolved the crisis, and deserved to be the most difficult role among the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

The matter has come to this, Zuo Daoying can only push the boat down the river, and even said that he will report to the emperor in front of the emperor a piece of loyalty and sincerity of Lord Su, Su Jin set up a banquet for Zuo Daoying to resign, and led the officials to send Zuo Daoying on the way home.

The most depressed is Gao Ruona, knowing that Su Jin has made a ghost, but there is no room for refutation, what he played is completely true, originally Zuo Dao should report the matter after returning to the palace, Su Jin will be in trouble, but the situation has taken a turn for the worse, Su Jin has come to such a hand, no matter how everyone understands in their hearts that this is Su Jin's trick, the emperor must not punish Su Jin; On the contrary, it was himself, who was originally in the dark, but now that it has been exposed, can Su Jin spare himself?

Under Su Jin's supervision, all the people living in the so-called 'Pearl Palace' in the middle chamber were emptied, and the yamen was relocated, Su Jin's residence was in it, and now it had to be moved out, leaving only dozens of florist servants and more than 100 soldiers to be left behind, responsible for the daily sprinkling, cleaning and guarding of it.

Xiaohu'er was not sensible, and when he moved, he ran over and pulled Su Jin's robe and shouted: "Daddy, Daddy, why don't you let Hu'er live here, Hu'er likes to live here, the garden is more fun than outside, there are butterflies, bees, birds, and a lot of flowers, but there are no outside." ”

Su Jin was speechless, just sulking secretly.

In the back house of the new yamen on No. 10 Guoning Street, dozens of members of the Su family lived in a small house with two entrances, which seemed extremely cramped, which made Su Jin feel aggrieved, and he mixed it back, and he spent money to build the pearl city, but he did not have the right to live in the middle box, but had to be forced to let the middle box vacant, and a large family of old and young were crowded into this two-entry small house that was supposed to be for businessmen to live in, how could they swallow this breath.

Yan Biyun didn't care, seeing Su Jin's brows furrowed and sullen when he was eating, he hurriedly motioned to Xiao Xian'er on the side to pour Su Jin wine, and he also brought a glass of wine and said: "The husband is smart and clever, and a crisis will be resolved in a conversation and laughter, and the slave family respects the husband with a cup, congratulations to the husband." ”

Su Jin didn't listen, and when he heard this, he was even more upset, as if someone was slapping himself, and he slapped the wine glass and said: "Is it reasonable, the house that my Su family spent money to build, whether I live in it or not, I am coerced by others, is this in the past?" Originally, I wanted the family to live comfortably, and in the end I drove myself to this small house. It just doesn't make sense. ”

The wives and concubines had never seen Su Jin get angry at home, and they all stepped forward cautiously to comfort him, Xia Siling said: "Why bother with the husband, the husband is also for the sake of the whole family, and he doesn't want to be talked about by the villain, we don't blame you, then again, it's not bad here, there are not many people in the family, and more than a dozen rooms in the house are enough, it's ...... It's just that the yard is a little smaller, and the tiger can't run away. ”

"There are no swings, no meadows, no butterflies and flowers. ”

Yan Biyun hurriedly glared and said, "Adults talk, children don't interject." ”

Hu'er was reprimanded, his mouth was flat and he wanted to cry, but Huanniang hurriedly stopped him in his arms and stroked him.

Su Jin sighed and said: "I'm not angry because of the cramped residence, the house I rented in Yingtianfu back then was not much better than here, and when I first arrived in the capital, the house in Yulin Lane was much worse than this, I was angry because of ...... It's because ...... Hey, don't talk about it. ”

Yan Biyun thought for a while, waved away a few servant girls, and then said softly: "The husband's mind is somewhat clear, the husband is discouraged because of the emperor's suspicions, right?" ”

Su Jin sighed at the sky, picked up a glass of wine and drank it dry, and said slowly: "The layout of the middle chamber pattern is indeed my negligence, it shouldn't be so careless, but what the emperor did to teach people is really chilling; I came to the northwest as an official, and on the one hand, he praised me for my ability, and stopped all the military salaries and relief, and asked me to share his worries and be self-sufficient, which I also admitted; Some people say that it is a matter of course for the Northwest Fourth Road to support itself, compared with other wealthy state capitals, not only to support themselves, but also to provide money and taxes for the imperial court, the northwest only seeks self-sufficiency, and the imperial court is also tax-free for three years, and the emperor is already very face-saving. You say, 'After hearing such a thing, can I still refuse?' ”

Yan Biyun frowned and said: "The person who said this doesn't understand the situation at all, can the northwest be compared with other state capitals?" After several years of fighting, the land was deserted, the people had no fixed place, and the climate was not suitable for growing crops in the south, there was only one crop of wheat every year, so many people had to eat and dress, so many soldiers had to pay for food and grass, and they had to build border forts to prevent enemy attacks, and everywhere they needed money, where did the money come from? ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, I think I still have a little ability, I don't dare to say anything else, so that the people of the northwest don't go hungry and don't sleep on the streets, it can still be done; But how does the emperor treat me? sent a Gao Ruona to follow my ass to spy on me, yes, the court outside the enlargement, the establishment of a person to supervise the army is a regulation, this is understandable, but I worked hard to build a new city, the court did not pull out a hair, the emperor did not even have any words of encouragement, on the contrary, he poured several scoops of cold water on me; After it was completed, I didn't say that I sent someone to congratulate me, but instead sent a eunuch to check whether the pattern I built was violated, and whether I had any intentions? What is this? Who do you think of me Su Jin? ”

Su Jin angrily picked up the wine glass and sent it to his mouth, when he saw that the wine glass was empty, he reached out and grabbed the wine jug and poured it into his mouth. ”

Su Jin wiped the wine stains on his mouth and patted his knees and said: "The king of the ancient sages, when he meets a virtuous person, he can't wait to put his heart into his heart, the Duke of Zhou meets a virtuous minister and spit out, the lord of Shu invites Zhuge to look at the thatched house, although I Su Jin is not a great sage, but I think I am also working for the Great Song Dynasty, what I have done, which is not for the consideration of the Great Song Dynasty, for the consideration of the imperial court, what is the result?" The official is getting bigger and bigger, and the suspicion is getting more and more serious, I really want to enter Beijing immediately and ask the emperor what he thinks? Since you use me Su Jin, why do you send people to stare at me so sneakily, and don't pay attention to the big things I do, but you are so attentive to these trivial things, why is this? ”

Yan Biyun stepped forward, wiped the beads of sweat from Su Jin's forehead with a silk handkerchief, and said softly: "Don't be angry, what the husband has done is worthy of heaven and earth, and the reputation of the folk husband is also very good, and the people know how to do it; Besides, the emperor is not a dumb king, you think, if the emperor is suspicious of you, how can he put you in the important position of the envoy of the Northwest Fourth Road, this position is more important than the position of some centers in the court. ”

Su Jin gritted his teeth and said: "That's because I can defend the northwest for him, and I can also help him get a large number of horses from Western Xia, and I can also let him fill the stomachs of millions of soldiers and civilians in the northwest without having to pay out of his pocket, so as to relieve him of the worries of the northwest; Otherwise, do you think he will give me this position? A few months ago in the capital, I only begged him to punish Fan Zhongyan and others lightly, and he was unwilling in every way, and even argued with me in the palace. said that it was for the sake of forming a party, but in fact, he attributed all the blame for the failure of the new deal to them, and he didn't dare to take responsibility, but only blamed the courtiers, what kind of Ming Jun is this? ”

Xia Siling hurriedly looked out, ordered someone to close the doors and windows tightly, and Yan Biyun also hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, husband, these words can't be said nonsense, it's terrible to spread them." ”
