More than 200 years of the Dayue Dynasty, has gone astray, the selected people may study the four books and five classics, poetry, calligraphy and painting, there may be no lack of romantic and suave people, inviting prostitutes to bring friends to chant poems to give Zuo You Xing is more than enough, but lack of talent to use in the world. Of course, there are also people with real talents and learning, such as Li Zhuo, Shen Rong, Dong Yuan, Gao Zongting and others, Gu Wuchen should also be regarded as capable and talented, but these people are too rare compared to the entire huge bureaucratic system of the larger Yue Dynasty.

Xia Cao's strategy, Lin Jian guessed that Li Zhuo and Gao Zongting also thought of it, but don't look at Li Zhuo's higher power, but Li Zhuo wants to propose this strategy, but it is not as useful as his little Jiupin Confucian Lin Lang. Li Zhuo's power limited the Jiangning garrison military government to the greatest extent, and did not have the authority to restrict local administrative affairs; In the final analysis, Gu Wuchen and his colleagues in the Chu Party would not allow Li Zhuo to lose his political achievements to Chen Xinbo. On the contrary, Lin Jian used Gu Wuchen to follow Xia Cao's strategy, and Li Zhuo, who could take care of the overall situation, would secretly help him.

Although Lin Jian does not want the world to collapse, he has no ambition and interest in being a minister of Zhongxing, and it is his main principle to live in the world. If the Dayue Dynasty still has room for redemption, he might as well be a minister of Zhongxing, if the Dayue Dynasty is doomed, he will not be martyred for the Dayue Dynasty. The strategy of offering Xia Cao is mainly to completely suppress Zhao Qinmin, he is still inseparable from Gu Wuchen's trust at this time, and let Gu Wuchen's power go one step further, which will also promote his foothold in Jiangdong; Although the other one can't be voted for Li Zhuo's door, he also wants to relieve his worries and repay his knowledge yesterday.

With Zhang Yubo here, Lin Lian and Zhao Qinmin could enter and exit Donghua Gate at night, and seeing that it was not early, they said goodbye from Gu's mansion. Gu Wuchen got Xia Cao's strategy tonight, and he saw that the position of the envoy was promising, and he was also very happy, and personally sent Lin Lian, Zhang Yubo, and Zhao Qinmin to the front yard to ride in the carriage.

Lin Lian led the horse, pretending to hesitate, and was not in a hurry to leave the Gu Mansion with Zhao Qinmin and Zhang Yubo.

Gu Wuchen, who was sitting under the door of the Hanging Flower Hall, saw Lin Jian hesitate and asked, "Do you still have something to tell me?" ”

"I don't know if to say it?" Lin Jian said.

"What, what else can't you say to me?" Gu Wuchen asked with a smile.

"......" Lin Jian walked up to the weeping flower hall, signaled Zhang Yubo and Zhao Qinmin to go over as well, not wanting to speak for the guards to hear, and said in a suppressed voice, "According to me, Chen Xiyan is the wife and cousin of Qu Wuyang, the Qu family......"

"Oh?" Gu Wuchen's brows suddenly froze, and he asked, "Is that true?" ”

"Mr. Zhao has lived in Jiangning for a long time, so he should know a ......thing or two," Lin Lian looked back at Zhao Qinmin.

"Chen Xiyan does have this relationship with the Qu family, and the Xixi Society is also funded by the Qu family," Zhao Qinmin thought that Lin Bin's scheming was really poisonous, and he looked at Wuchen's expression and was already moved, so he took the opportunity to say, "The Qu family is not a good person, it's just that the government can't catch the sore feet of the Qu family, but there are always ...... sore feet."

Zhang Yubo was really honest, and only then did he understand it: Lin Lian, Zhao Qinmin and Gu Wuchen were actually discussing to frame the Qu family to involve Chen Xiyan, even if they didn't expect to completely defeat Chen Xiyan, they had to keep Chen Xiyan away from the phase.

Xia Cao's strategy can make great achievements for Gu Wuchen in Jiangdong, but whether Gu Wuchen can gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong is not at all whether his political achievements are outstanding or not, but for the Chu Party to gain a firm foothold in the center, and the phase competition is fundamental.

Chen Xiyan not only has the strength to compete for the phase, but also has the ambition to compete for the phase, and he has already taken action for the phase, and it is quite effective. It is not for no reason that Chen Mingzhe, who ranked third in the current Shengshang Meeting, is the champion, at least at present, it seems that the current Shengshang also intends to use Chen Xiyan to balance the power of the Chu Party, and the release of the list in Chunqiu is just a test of the tone.

For the common people, the emperor is high, and no one dares to resist, in fact, there is no absolute supreme power in this world. At least on the issue of the appearance, the saints today cannot do whatever they want. If Chen Xiyan is forcibly pushed into the position, even if the Chu Party and other factions in the DPRK and China may not dare to strike collectively, secretly obstructing one or two will be enough to make the situation develop in a worse direction, and may even make it impossible to issue a decree even in the imperial city, let alone control the situation in the world in the hands of one person.

Today's saints do not dare to suddenly set up Chen Xiyan as the prime minister, so he uses Chen Mingzhen to test the reaction of the government and the opposition, or to pave the way for the establishment of Chen Xiyan as the prime minister.

The Chu Party was not able to react excessively at this time, although Chen Mingzhe was ranked third in the examination, but the palace pilot was the champion, and there was nothing excessive, but the Chu Party could not fail to react, once the wind vane of the government and opposition public opinion changed from "Chen Xiyan may be used as the prime minister from the saint" to "the choice of using Chen Xiyan as the prime minister is not bad", "Chen Xiyan as the prime minister may be able to save the overall situation better than Zhang Xie", and then the Chu Party will firmly oppose the emperor's use of Chen Xiyan as the prime minister, which is a minority.

The Chu Party must exert resistance before the matter is a foregone conclusion, as long as the possibility of Chen Xiyan becoming a prime minister is destroyed, there is naturally no need to face the last dangerous hurdle.

"This matter must not be told to outsiders," Gu Wuchen said sternly, "You have never mentioned ...... matter."

Lin Jian knew that Gu Wuchen was moved, but it was not easy to frame the Qu family, but once the chicken stealing failed and the matter was revealed, it would be a big disaster, and it was impossible for Gu Wuchen to be careless, and it was impossible to use this strategy without consulting Zhang Xie and Tang Haoxin.

Lin Jian nodded, and left the Gu Mansion with Zhao Qinmin and Zhang Yubo, and Zhang Yubo sent them through Donghua Gate.

Out of Donghua Gate, the moon was clear and the wind was light, Lin Jian rode his horse, and did not talk to Zhao Qinmin, looking at the dark shadows of the grass in the ditch, as if he was thinking. Zhao Qinmin's momentum was completely suppressed by Lin Bin, and he was only worried about how to repair the relationship with Lin Bin, of course, he didn't dare to think that Lin Bind had snubbed him.

Zhou Pu and the guards were scattered around, after the Donghua Gate was closed, the spacious official road more than 20 steps wide was deserted, there were no half pedestrians, and the sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of insects.

The revenge of the tragedy of the displaced people in the estuary must be avenged, and Lin Jian has not been able to trace the motive of the Qu family to create the tragedy of the displaced people in the estuary, and it seems that it is likely that Chen Xiyan instigated it behind the scenes.

For Chen Xiyan, the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne was Zhang Xie, the leader of the Chu Party.

Gu Wuchen is the son-in-law of Tang Haoxin, the leader of the Chu Party, and he went out of the same house as Zhang Xieshi, and it was Zhang Xie who quickly promoted him to the official position of deputy envoy of Jiangdong. Gu Wuchen was stabbed in Shiliang, and it is very likely that Chen Xiyan was behind the scenes. Whether it is creating a tragedy of displaced people or assassinating Gu Wuchen in Shiliang County, it can further intensify the contradiction between Gu Wuchen and the local forces in Jiangning. If Gu Wuchen's arrival makes the situation in Jiangning in Beijing a mess, no matter who is at fault, Gu Wuchen will be responsible. The situation may have developed exactly as the people behind the scenes, the relationship between Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan deteriorated to the extreme, but it was Chen Zhi, the captain of Dongcheng, who was stupid and stupid like a dog, and made a big mistake, so that Lin Jian helped Gu Wuchen seize the initiative all of a sudden.

Although Chen Xiyan has the name of Confucianism, he is by no means a good stubble, and Lin Lianyou feels that the disaster of the party struggle between the DPRK and China is stronger than the military affairs, and also the flood and drought demon.

Chen Xiyan may be wronged, but the Qu family must be eliminated, but he never wants Gu Wuchen to know about Changshan Island, so he can't directly prove that the Qu family is the murderer behind the tragedy of the displaced people.

*******

Arriving at the mouth of the river, Zhao Qinmin went back to the encirclement house as usual, and the accompanying soldiers led the horses to the enclosure, and Lin Jian and Zhou Pu walked in the direction of the cottage. Walking to the gate of the courtyard, just about to knock on the door, he heard the barking of dogs suddenly sounded, and two black shadows rushed over from the courtyard with the wind.

"Don't kill the dog......" A scream came from the yard, and he watched Sun Wenpei run out of it.

Lin Tie and Zhou Pu raised a kick and kicked the two vicious dogs away, but the two vicious dogs kicked and screamed, but they rolled in the mud without fear and made a gesture to pounce over, before the pounce, the two vicious dogs actually had eye contact and kept the same line at the same time towards Lin Tie who was standing in front of him, but he kicked and screamed at Sun Wenpei at this time, and then he stopped the pounce and hid behind Sun Wenpei, but stared at Lin Tie and Zhou Pu fiercely.

"Lord Lin, don't kill Lu and the leopards, they don't bite people...... Sun Wenpei said cautiously.

"You should stop the two vicious dogs from biting first," Lin Jian said jokingly, and asked Sun Wenpei again, "Jingzhong is a guest in the grass hall?" ”

"No," although Sun Wenpei is the daughter of the River Gang, she is always timid in front of Lin Lian, naturally Lin Lian mentioned that Lin Jingzhong was joking with her and Lin Jingzhong, she still didn't dare to laugh, and said with a concise future, "My sister asked me to tell Lord Lin that borrowing from the bamboo hall is a last resort, she doesn't want to owe the debt of the adult, and if you don't give the three thousand money to the adult, you will naturally not pay off the adult's debt, but the River Gang doesn't have anything valuable, so let me send a few puppies over." The puppy has been handed over to Xiaoman and Sister Yue'er...... Wen Pei finished speaking, and Wen Pei retired first. Sun Wenpei bent down as if hiding from a ghost, took the leather loops around the necks of two knee-high black dogs and walked towards the south house of Zhutang.

"Am I so scary?" Lin Jian asked Zhou Pu with a smile.

"......" Zhou Pu smiled, looked at Sun Wenpei holding two black dogs, and said, "These two black mountain dogs are good, I didn't expect that there would be black mountain dogs in Xihe, I don't know if there are crows in the eyes......"

"Lord Crow likes to eat dog meat?" Lin Jian asked with a smile, he also saw that these two dogs were good, and he and Zhou Pu each kicked them without reducing their fierceness, and they were also big in size, not much intelligence, and they could also be domesticated, so they seemed to be good breeds. Later generations of military and police mostly used foreign dog breeds, Lin Jian was not familiar with the local dog, but knew that there was a tradition of raising dogs since ancient times, and thought that this dog was originally called the Black Mountain Dog.

"Don't arrange me behind my back, dogs can guard and transmit messages, how can we be spies eat dog meat," the crow quietly slid down from a Gu Sang tree outside the door, and said, "That girl from the Xihe Society has sent six dog cubs, can you give them all to me?" ”

When the military saint Su Jinyuan in the "Seven Classics of Martial Arts Notes" there are "where the march to the camp, set up dog shops on all sides, with dogs to guard it, the enemy will bark dogs, so that there is an alarm in the camp" and other annotations, the army also has the tradition of raising war dogs. Lin Jian also considered raising dogs on Prison Island to share the supervision and patrol work of the military guards, but most of the dogs he saw in Jiangning before were local dogs with mixed blood, and this kind of dog was also raised by ordinary people to watch the house, and they couldn't be guard dogs and war dogs, but I didn't expect Sun Wenwan This woman is really not simple, knowing that dog breeds that can be used as guard dogs and war dogs are far more valuable than three or five thousand yuan for Hekou and Prison Island, and they really want to draw a clear line here and not take advantage of this side.
