Chapter 6: Steel Knives

[No pop-ups.]

Xu Jie's recuperation for a few days, packed up the application, moved his family back to his hometown, and when he left, all the officials saw him off, and the scene was huge, and the people who didn't know it said that he was a successful retirement, and he returned with honors After a few days of calm in Beijing, it suddenly became lively again

The neighbors found that the front of Li Ge's old mansion was suddenly full of cars and horses, and the number of visitors was several times more than usual, but they came and went quickly, because the new Shoufu Lord was often not there, and when he asked, he either went to Dongchang to visit or went to Yunzhong Hou's Mansion to drink and listen to the play, and the officials usually heard the news and listened to the door for a while, and then they all boarded the sedan chair and got on the horse, and disappeared like a whirlwind

Dongchang did not invite anyone to go, so outside the Hou Mansion became crowded in a blink of an eye

The one who went the most diligently It is said that it is the new right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Zou Yinglong, he runs up and down Even the porter and comprador are familiar with it Seeing that the Hou Mansion is busy with the wine banquet and specially sent over two Jiangxi cooks People have praised It is said that once the son of heaven and a courtier, Xu Ge Lao went Hou Ye did not even move his most trusted Lord Zou This mind is really unmatched There are also rumors that Lord Zou is not used to seeing Xu Ge Lao sitting on the throne and sitting on the blessing He has long been with the same heart and mind with the Hou Ye It's just that the time has not yet come There is no backlash

Qin prisoner Wu Shilai was safely escorted from Guangdong to Beijing I thought that Xu Ge Lao was still able to speak for himself I didn't want Beijing to change the day It is no longer what it used to be After the fifty-nine officials jointly filed a lawsuit and the case was cleared and clarified, he listened to the emperor's decree to depose himself and return home He also secretly rejoiced: No matter what, his fate is better than Liu Shiyan Liu Shiyan of the county was attacked by Zeng Yiyi on the way to escort the grain and grass and died of several arrows in his body The tragic situation when the body was brought back Now I think about it and I still have a chill down my spine

On this day, Qin Juexiang came to the Hou Mansion with a basket of fruits, and when he entered the hall, he saw Chang Sihao sitting boredly thinking about things, so he approached and picked up a big pear in the basket and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Big brother, come and taste this Hangzhou big Ya pear, it's very sweet."

Chang Sihao saw that it was him and said: "Oh, I haven't seen it for a few days" Qin Juexiang put down the basket and picked one out of his hand and held it in his hand and said with a smile: "You are so busy, how can the little brother compare with you" Chang Sihao said: "What happened that day......" Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "Hey, what's the matter, the past is all over Can I still remember your grudge You beat me for my good "Chang Sihao sighed: "Jue Bang This Jingshi is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, it's not a good thing that you are so arrogant."

Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, big brother, what are you thinking with a sad face, Lao Xu is down, and these people are obedient and revolving around you, what else is there to be unhappy?"

Chang Sihao said: "How do you know I wrote a copy of Zheng Mengzhu's idea of governing the country to them Li Chunfang coped with it Only said that the situation is unstable now and it is difficult to move These things should be carefully studied and carefully considered Chen Yiqin is not yin or yang He has his own set Zhang Juzheng applauded in front of him, but secretly said that he has limited power and is ambitious He can only choke his wrist Other people are just here to flatter and please Me have no interest in this Although Xu Jie is down, the situation has always remained the same."

Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "These guys are not good cakes, especially this Zhang Juzheng, who obviously wants you to get Lao Li and Lao Chen down again, so that he can help him to take the position."

Chang Sihao sighed with relief: "Alas, many things are simple to think about, and it is really difficult to do If Zheng Mengzhu is ...... them" Qin Juexiang didn't want to hear him mention this matter, so he hurriedly took it and said: "People, no matter when you still have to rely on yourself, you have to look forward at any time Our two brothers have joined hands until now, isn't this situation very good Don't look at my brother, I don't have a whole day to wander around, but whether it's business, rivers and lakes, or officialdom, I haven't thrown any of them down, but they are all booming In fact, things are difficult to look at It's not difficult to do." This is called the hand is a diligent man, and the eye is a lazy person."

Chang Sihao's mood was much better because of his persuasion, and he said: "Don't talk about this, Lawyer Xin is too busy, come back early, eat and drink with these officials all day long, and feel annoyed It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, let's find an opportunity to get together with our own families."

Seeing Qin Juexiang groaning He suddenly seemed to realize something Reaching out and grabbing his little arm Qin Juexiang suddenly mentioned it in his heart Look at his face is not good, he is worried about himself, but he heard Chang Sihao say: "This day is not short Is she pretending to do something and go to Jiangnan to find and rescue your eldest sister Qin Juexiang put down a big stone in his heart and looked surprised: "Hey, why didn't I think of it" Chang Sihao looked away and his eyes went straight up: "Your eldest sister was robbed She has always felt guilty When she was recuperating, she wanted to go out to find it Let us live and die In fact, she is also a hot character More anxious than any of us."

Qin Juexiang cautiously looked at his expression and lamented in his mouth: "At this time, the eldest sister's child should also be born Even if she is not abused in the prison of Juhao Pavilion, I am afraid that she will live like a year To be honest, Sister Xin's friendship with us is not very deep, but she is willing to sacrifice her life to save her Compared to the things that the younger brother did in the past...... Alas, what is the sin of an unborn child, I am really a beast, " he said, covering his face with his hands, and began to cry

Seeing him like this, Chang Sihao was also sad for a while, patted him lightly on the back, and said: "In this world, what connects feelings is not actually blood, but thoughts and thoughts, Speaking of which, relatives are just an innate acquaintance With years of getting along with each other, husband and wife are not related by blood, but they can also become close family members If there is a lack of communication, even if there is a blood relationship between father and son, each other's thoughts and actions will still contradict each other, you didn't understand before, and it's not too late to understand now, as you said, the past, let it pass."

Qin Jue said, "Yes, yes" and snorted a few times to stop the grief

Chang Sihao hugged his neck and shook it Seeing that Jue Xiang was choking in tears in the crook of his arm, his face was gloomy, and he felt that the two brothers seemed to have returned to the past Comforted him and told him about Qin Ziyin's presence in Xiao Mansion Qin Jue Xiang raised his face with great joy: "Big brother, what you said is true" Chang Sihao nodded: "Before, I was afraid that you would do anything more So I didn't mention it to you when I came back Don't blame me" Qin Jue Xiang said: "How can it" He frowned and said: "But it's not a matter of letting the eldest sister live in Xiao Mansion According to the day, most of the children have been born now, so it is better to take them away." After all, the Xiao Mansion has a thick relationship with Juhao Pavilion, once there is an accident......"

Chang Sihao's eyes floated with Xiao Jinyue's smile unconsciously smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "That's not so bad that the Jingshi is in danger, it's not good to take it back, but you're right, it's a lot of trouble to be placed in the Xiao Mansion, let's send someone to take her back to Shanxi," Qin Juexiang nodded, looked at him with a pear in his hand, and said worriedly: "However, the mansion is empty now, and the servants and maids are not very good at serving, unlike the fourth aunt, their relatives are more careful than others."

Chang Sihao also felt justified and said: "That...... It's better to send her to the Tang Gate There are your two aunts over there There are Xiaoxi and Xiaomen with them Your sister is not bored and panicked Qin Juexiang smiled: "This is a good idea Big brother It's rare for you to think so thoughtfully" Chang Sihao said: "You just look at the arrangement" Qin Juexiang slapped the pear into his palm and smiled: "Leave it to me"

The two of them walked out of the hall and walked to the water pavilion in the back garden Walking through the porch The fish in the pond heard the footsteps Thinking that someone was coming to feed them They gathered close and floated and dived in the water Like a beggar nodding Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "People die for money, birds die for food The fish swim around every day and it seems leisurely I don't want to eat for this mouthful It's also ugly " shook his hand and threw out the half-eaten pear Stirring up a splash The fish fled in all directions

This splash of water reminded Chang Sihao of what he said about how to execute Ma Mingshao As if the scene at that time was being reproduced He sighed softly

The two of them paced on the small viewing pavilion that had already been renovated Qin Juexiang stretched his waist and said: "Big brother, the people of Juhao Pavilion are connected to Xiao Mansion in the east and Gutian in the west This is obviously going to make a big fuss I think the emperor will not be long before I am afraid that he will order us to suppress the bandits."

Hearing the word "suppression of bandits", Chang Sihao was in a complicated mood There is nothing wrong with gathering the Hao Pavilion to collect refugees There is also a corresponding reason for the government to close the sea In this chaotic year of chaos and injustice, right and wrong, good and evil, officials, bandits, military and civilians It is really not easy to distinguish What kind of identity is he now?

He was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that Qin Juexiang was beside him and said: "Many things have complex causes, and they can't be blamed alone, and this matter needs to think of a perfect solution, and try to solve it peacefully."

Qin Juexiang said: "Big brother, just look at Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan's posture of tying explosives to make trouble in the East Factory, can you still make sense with them Ming Chengjun folded in my hand Let's sit on a dead button with them If you want to go to peace talks, then you have to mention the head of the junior brother first."

Chang Sihao also felt that this matter was tricky and was silent for a while Qin Juexiang leaned in and lowered his voice: "Big brother, it's not a good thing to have a relationship with the thief Our brothers are not bad in Beijing How can the wealth in their hands be thrown away in vain Anyway, Juhao Pavilion is also a thorn in the emperor's flesh Why don't you take the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops south When the time comes, put the people from Dongchang in front Let them compete with Juhao Pavilion "

Chang Sihao avoided his inquiring gaze and leaned out of the railing

Sparkling There was a faint fishy smell on the surface of the water

Qin Juexiang smiled: "When you are not there, Jin Wu and I often have fun with Xiao Anzi The relationship between the two is good The day before yesterday chatted at the party Jin Wu said that the emperor was short of soldiers and money He was very worried about Gutian's affairs Xiao Anzi told me This battle will be fought sooner or later Now Wang Chonggu, Qi Jiguang and other generals are guarding the border The one who can be called is Hou Ye If when the holy decree comes down, you have to let Hou Ye bring our people with you How much credit is given to follow them They have such thoughts Isn't it also a good opportunity for us "

Chang Sihao looked at the water and stared: "What he said is a little strange."

Qin Juexiang said: "Hey, Jingshi, these people are all touching you with hair on the top, and there are knives on the bottom, not all of them are the same flavor His little thoughts are in my stomach If you really take the people from Dongchang to go on the expedition, you don't need him to be a little cub Then it must be the governor to accompany you The four major stalls will accompany him When the time comes, he will do whatever he wants in Beijing If one of these five people is sent to Jiangnan by mistake Feng Bao mentioned his little neck like a thread Isn't this Tangtang Dongchang his 'An ancestor' But I think it's not bad Everyone is 'Tie Guan Li squeezing his eyes' You fool me, I'll fool you."

Chang Sihao's gaze glided along the water: "Even if you really go on the expedition and really invite Shangdongchang to accompany you, do you think that with your and my intelligence, we will be a quilt for Guo Shu Ronghua, or someone else will be cannon fodder for us."

One sentence was so loud that Qin Juexiang was there speechless for a long time Chang Sihao said: "You forgot how Xia Zenghui pretended to be Yuan Liangyu and how he planted and provoked on both sides in the first place You want to let people fight against each other People have already calculated how to drive the tiger and the wolf."

Qin Juexiang pinched his waist and thought for a long time, lowered his head, and said unwillingly: "Is this really not expected With the relationship between Gonggong Feng and you, if you change to Cheng Lian'an, and then mention me from Nanzhen Fusi Our brothers are equivalent to holding Dongchang in their hands At that time, it was really called to be windy and rainy......

Chang Sihao's heart moved: Judging from the battle of Reverse Xu, Guo Shuronghua's ability to control officialdom is really extraordinary These officials of the six departments of the cabinet must first look at his face when they act Speaking on their own does not work One of the reasons is that they do not have the capital to manipulate these officials If you take the position of Dongchang and teach yourself to sit with a bunch of small tails in your hand, you will not worry that the sword family's strategy of governing the country cannot be implemented He thought of this, his throat rolled, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart beat faster At this moment, he suddenly saw a reflection in the water The smile on that face was so dark and smug and ill-intentioned It looked no different from the smiles of Xu Jie, Xia Zenghui, Zeng Shiquan and others He suddenly realized that the face was himself He took a sharp breath in shock, straightened up, and took half a step back

Raise your head violently, thousands of miles high in the sky, and be as bright as a sword

Someone flashed out of the corner gate and hung his head: "The prime minister, Shaolin sent Xiaolin Zongqing to hand over a post under the door, saying that he wanted to meet the leader of the alliance."
