Xu Jie's recuperation for a few days, packed up the application, moved the family back to his hometown, and sent off all the officials when he left, the scene was huge, and the people who didn't know it said that he was a successful retirement, and returned with honor, and then the Beijing division experienced a few days of short calm, and 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 the meeting, or went to the Yunzhong Hou 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.

No one dared to go to the East Factory, so outside the Hou Mansion, it became crowded in a blink of an eye.

The one who went the most diligently, it is said that it was the new right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Zou Yinglong, he ran up and down, even the porter and comprador were mixed up, and he was busy with the wine banquet in the Hou Mansion, and he also specially sent over two Jiangxi cooks, people praised one after another, saying that once the son of heaven and a courtier, Xu Ge Lao went, Hou Ye actually did not even move his most trusted Zou Lord, this mind is really unparalleled, there are also rumors, that Zou is not used to Xu Ge Lao sitting on the throne, and he has long been with Hou Ye with one heart and one mind, but the time has not come, there is no anti-water is,

Qin prisoner Wu Shilai was safely escorted to Beijing from Guangdong, I thought that Xu Ge was there, and he could still speak for himself, and he didn't want to change the day in Beijing, it was not what it used to be, and after the fifty-nine officials jointly filed a lawsuit to clear the case, he listened to the emperor's decree to depose himself and return home, and he was secretly glad: Anyway, his fate was stronger than Liu Shiyan, and Liu Shiyan, the county magistrate, was attacked by a sneak attack on the way to escort grain and grass, and was killed by several arrows. Xianmo: History records that Wu Shilai has lived at home for 16 years since then, until the twelfth year of Wanli before he became an official again, and then he has not done anything good, the reason why he can be an official again is because Zhang Juzheng died (Wanli ten years), Wanli liquidated Zhang Juzheng, and it was necessary to revive some old people to use, Wu Shilai was able to re-enter the officialdom, and the side also reflected what kind of goods Wanli was,]

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." [Xianmo: Ordering Hangzhou, is teasing the boring child,]

Chang Sihao saw that it was him and said, "Oh, it is absolutely loud, but I haven't seen it for a few days." Qin Juexiang put down the basket, 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: "Hey, what's the matter, the past is over, can I still remember your hatred, you beat me for my good." Chang Sihao sighed: "Absolutely loud, 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 has fallen, and these people below 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 forward, these things should be carefully studied and carefully considered, Chen Yiqin is not yin or yang, and has his own set [Xianmo: Chen Lao talked about the law of the ancestors, how can he reform at will, he is on the same front as Xu Jie] , Zhang Juzheng applauded in person, but secretly said that he had limited power, ambition, and could only strangle his wrists, and other people just came to flatter and flatter, and he was even less interested in this, although Xu Jie fell, but the situation has not changed, [Xian Mo: Sketch around, slightly show the situation, Guy is not history, write a lot of redundancy, this refuge method]"

Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "These guys are not good cakes, especially this Zhang Juzheng, obviously wants you to get Lao Li and Lao Chen down again, so as to help him take the position." [Xianmo: Judging from the author's writing style, you can see that he dislikes Xiao Zhang and likes high arches, in fact, Xiao Zhang is still okay, but I have to admit that Xiao Zhang does have his insidious side,]

Chang Sihao sighed with relief: "Alas, many things are simple to think about, but it is really difficult to do, if the Zheng League Lord is in the ......" Qin Juexiang was the most reluctant to hear him mention this, and hurriedly took it over and said: "People, no matter when you still have to rely on yourself, what about things, no matter when you have to look forward, our two brothers have joined hands until now, isn't this situation also very good, don't look at my brother and I don't have a whole day price to wander around, but no matter whether it is business, The rivers and lakes are still officialdom, and none of them have been thrown down, but they are all prosperous, in fact, things are difficult to watch, and it is not difficult to do it, which is called a diligent man and a lazy eye. ”

Being persuaded by him, Chang Sihao's mood was much better, and said: "Don't talk about this, Lawyer Xin is too busy, come back early, eat and drink with these officials all day long, I feel annoyed, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, let's find an opportunity, and our families will also get together." ”

Seeing Qin Juexiang groaning, Chang Sihao suddenly realized something, reached out and grabbed his little arm, Qin Juexiang mentioned it suddenly, seeing that his face was not good, he was worried about himself, but he heard Chang Sihao say: "This day is not short, is she pretending to do things and go to Jiangnan to rescue your eldest sister." Qin Juexiang put down a big stone in his heart, and his face was full of surprise: "Hey, why didn't I think of it." Chang Sihao looked away, his eyes straight: "Your eldest sister was robbed, she has always felt guilty, and she wanted to go out to find it when she was recuperating from her injuries, so that we could press it alive and dead, in fact, she is also a hot character, and she is 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. As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands, and began to cry,

Seeing him like this, Chang Sihao was also sad, patted him lightly on the back and said: "In this world, what connects feelings is not actually blood, but thoughts and thoughts. Xianmo: Open-minded men's words, sigh that a few people in the world can really see it, think Xiaochang, on the brain is not as good as Xiao Cheng, on the scheming is not as good as the sound, on the chic is not as good as Ah Yue, on the culture is not as good as Xiaofang, on the background is not as good as Brother Ping, what else can he do, why is he the first among the six protagonists, relying on these places, Xiao Chang's open-mindedness, not innate, open-minded is not innate, but the worldview and values gradually formed in the growth, write Luda in the Water Margin, write Xiao Feng in Tianlong, are all truncated, and the ancient dragon characters appear with the same story, the temperament is defined before it is expanded, Xiao Chang is different, If there is a lack of communication, even if there is a blood inheritance between father and son, each other's thoughts and actions will still contradict each other, you didn't understand before, and now it's not too late to understand, as you said, the past, let it pass. ”

Qin Jue said, "Yes, yes." "I sobbed a few times in a row, and stopped my sorrow,

Chang Sihao hugged his neck and shook it, seeing that Jue Xiang was choking with tears in the crook of his arm, his face was full of gloom, and he felt that the two brothers seemed to have returned to the past [Xian Mo: Jue Xiang is more important than Jue Xiang, but he doesn't know that Xiao Chang is heavier than Jue Xiang, Jue Xiang just needs a support in his growth, Xiao Chang has long been independent, but he needs his relatives to give him a sense of belonging to his family, so Jue Xiang can grow up without him, but he is more and more reluctant to do so, just like the relationship between children and parents, which is why he has been repeatedly tolerating Jue Xiang,] , comforted, and told him about Qin Ziyin's affairs in Xiao Mansion, Qin Juexiang was overjoyed [Xianmo: It's not that I like this thing, but I like that big brother is willing to tell him about it] raised his face: "Big brother, what you said is true, [Xianmo: Although I am happy in my heart, I still have to make a play,] Chang Sihao nodded: "Before, I was afraid that you would do something again, so I didn't mention it to you when I came back, don't blame me." Qin Jue said, "How can it." He frowned again and said: "But it's not a matter for the eldest sister to live in the Xiao Mansion, according to the days, most of the children have been born now, it is better to take them away, after all, the Xiao Mansion has a thick relationship with Juhao Pavilion, once there is a change......

Chang Sihao's smile floated in front of Xiao Jinyue's eyes, and he smiled slightly [Xianmo: Ah Yue's personality charm is not said, whether a person is good or not depends on whether others can involuntarily smile when they think of him,], shook his head and said: "That's not it, Jingshi is dangerous, and it's not good to take her back, but you're right, it's a lot of trouble to be placed in Xiao Mansion, so 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 house 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 reasonable, and said, "That...... It's better to send her to Tangmen, there are your two aunts there, accompanied by Xiaoxi and Xiaonan, and your sister is not bored. Qin Juexiang smiled: "This is a good idea, big brother, it's rare that you think so thoughtfully." Chang Sihao said: "You just look at the arrangement, [Xianmo: Heavy faith is loud, it is because of the softness of the heart, women look pitiful when they cry, men always don't cry, suddenly crying, more pitiful than women, so when you meet a man crying, you must be careful, maybe it is really emotional, it is more likely to be a big traitor,] Qin Juexiang slapped the pear into his palm and said with a smile: "Leave it to me." ”

The two of them walked out of the hall, paced to the water pavilion in the back garden, walked through the corridor, the fish in the pond heard the footsteps, thought it was a person to feed, and gathered closer, floating and diving in the water, like a beggar who nodded and waisted, Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "People die for money, birds die for food, and the fish swim around every day and seem leisurely, and they don't want to eat for this mouthful, but they are also full of ugliness." He threw out the half-eaten pear, causing a splash, and the fish fled in all directions.

This splash of water caught his eyes, making Chang Sihao think of what he said about how to execute Ma Mingshao, as if the scene at that time was reappearing, and sighed softly,

The two of them paced the small viewing pavilion that had already been renovated, and 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 he is afraid that he will order us to suppress the bandits." ”

Hearing the word "bandits", Chang Sihao was in a complicated mood, gathering the Hao Pavilion to collect refugees, there is nothing wrong, the government is closed to the sea, and there are corresponding reasons, in this chaotic year of chaos, right and wrong, good and evil, officials, bandits, soldiers and civilians, it is not easy to distinguish between them, what kind of identity is he now, the rivers and lakes are not the rivers and lakes, the officialdom is not officialdom, it is really as Zhu Qing said, it seems to be in the cracks, if the emperor really forces himself to fight, then what can I do?

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, this matter still needs to think of a perfect plan and try to solve it peacefully." [Xianmo: The world is not perfect, Zheng Mengzhu wants to do everything with his brain, this is to resist the sky with strength, and modern people want to use computers to simulate the earth to measure earthquakes, it is not good, a butterfly effect will collapse,]

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 is folded in my hand, we are equivalent to sitting 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 he was silent for a while, Qin Juexiang approached 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, and when the time comes, put the people from Dongchang in front, and let them compete with Juhao Pavilion with a sandpiper clam in front of them." ”

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

sparkling, with a faint fishy smell on 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 at the party, Jin Wu said that the emperor is short of soldiers and little money, and he is very worried about Gutian's affairs, Xiao Anzi told me that this battle will be fought sooner or later, and now Wang Chonggu, Qi Jiguang and other generals are guarding the border, and 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, and take some credit, and follow the light, they have such ideas, 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, all of them touch you with hair on the top, and the knife is steel underneath [Xianmo: steel, pronunciation bar, is Beijing vernacular, the action of shaving the head master sharpening the razor with a belt is called a steel knife, Jue Xiang speaks Beijing vernacular, follows the local customs, and gradually integrates with Jingshi,], it's not all a taste, his little bit of careful thinking is in my stomach [Xianmo: Silly, Xiao Anzi is permeable, I can't understand it,] , really take the people of the East Factory to go on the expedition, and you don't need him to be a little cub, it must be the Governor to accompany you, the four major stalls will accompany you, and when the time comes, he will do whatever he wants in Beijing, if these five people are sent to Jiangnan by mistake, Feng Bao mentioned his little neck like a line, this Tangtang Dongchang, isn't it his 'An Zuzong', but I think it's not bad, everyone is 'Tie Guan Li squeezing his eyes', you fool me, I fool you. ”

Chang Sihao's gaze slid away along the water: "Even if you really go on the expedition and really invite Shangdongchang to go to the factory, do you think that with your and my talents, we will be Guo Shuronghua as a quilt, or someone else will be cannon fodder for us." ”

Qin Juexiang was so muffled in one sentence that he couldn't speak 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 each other, and people have long calculated how to drive the tiger and devour the wolf." ”

Qin Juexiang pinched his waist and thought for a long time, lowered his head, and said unwillingly: "Is there really no hope for this matter, with the relationship between Gonggong Feng and you, if Cheng Lian'an is replaced in charge, and then I am mentioned from Nanzhen Fusi, our brothers will be equivalent to taking Dongchang in their hands, and at that time it is really called to get the wind and the rain......

Chang Sihao's heart moved: Judging from the battle of Xu, Guo Shu Ronghua's ability to control officialdom is really extraordinary, these officials of the six cabinets must first look at his face when acting, and their own words do not work, one of the reasons is that they do not have the capital to manipulate these officials, if they take the position of Dongchang to teach their own people to sit, holding a bunch of small tails in their hands, they will not worry that the sword family's statecraft strategy can not be implemented, he thought of this, his throat rolled, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart beat fast, at this moment, he suddenly saw a reflection in the water, the smile in that face was so dark and self-satisfied and ill-intentioned, it looked like Xu Jie, Xia Zenghui, Zeng Shiquan and the others had no different smiles, he suddenly realized that the face was himself, he took a sharp breath and straightened up, and took half a step back.

Raise your head suddenly, thousands of miles high, Guangying is like a sword, [Xian Mo: Take water as a mirror, it is to take people as a mirror, take yourself as a mirror, without this god to take a glimpse, how do you know that the power is trapped, Xiao Chang is in Beijing and his feet are getting deeper, with this glance, he is alert in his heart, and he can save the idea of pulling his legs,]

Someone in the corner of the gate flashed out and bowed his head: "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." ”
