When she got up in the morning, Yao'er felt that the fire poison had been removed a little, and her eyes were a little easier, except that when she turned her eyes more widely, she felt pain in her eye sockets, and there was no problem with normal vision. Yao'er was very happy, and walked around the courtyard for a while, and heard the sound of Shen Rendrunk talking from Gu Xiaohua's sister and brother's room, so she walked towards their room.

The afternoon before yesterday, he and Chen Ruzhi took turns bombing Hong Seyan, and finally overturned Hong Seyan's decision, but it was late at that time, so it was not until yesterday that Luo Yunyun sent someone to Qionghai to give an order, ordering the people to return home.

Because Gu Xiaocao was injured by lime and had to stay in the Thorn History Mansion to recuperate for the time being, Gu Xiaohua's sister and brother were not sent back that day, but Yao'er had already asked the person sent by Luo Yunyun to tell their parents the whereabouts of Gu Xiaohua's sister and brother. As soon as Gu Xiaocao saw Yao'er, she greeted her happily: "Sister, my eyes are already better, are your eyes also better?" ”

Gu Xiaohua quietly followed behind her younger brother, shyly called Sister Yao'er, and then whispered, "Sister, can we go home today?" ”

Seeing the eager eyes of her sister and brother, Shen Ren smiled drunkenly and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yao'er promised you, and after a while, I will personally send you back." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ruzhi's hearty voice came from behind him: "Haha, I was trying to visit Yao'er's condition early in the morning, and it seems that Yao'er's eyes have been cured!" ”

"Chen Gongzao!"

When Yao'er heard the voice, she hurriedly turned around to give a salute, Gu Xiaohua also sensibly pulled her younger brother to salute the parent official, and Chen Ruzhi nodded. said: "The morning is refreshing, let's go to the yard for a walk, and we will have dinner in a while." ”

Several people came out of the room. Gu Xiaohua's sister and brother were very happy because they were going back to their parents today, they were not in the mood to play yesterday, and they were about to leave today, so they were interested in the pond and water curved bridge in the Thorn Shi Mansion, and ran to the bridge to see the swimming fish.

Shen Renzui knew that Thorn Shi had something to say to Yao'er, so he found an excuse to play with the children.

Yao'er walked by the pool with Chen Ruzhi. Looking at the young brother on the bridge, Chen Ruzhi smiled and said: "Yao'er traveled thousands of miles to save the people of Li from fire and water. The ancient road is warm, worried about the world, and the old man admires it. ”

Yao'er said with a smile: "Gong Chen has a good reputation, and the younger generation does things." Actually, I didn't think about it that much. But just ask for peace of mind. ”

Chen Ruzhi shook his head and said: "The old man has no reputation, he has traveled thousands of miles, not afraid of hardships and dangers, how many people in the world can do it?" ”

Yao'er smiled silently, Chen Ruzhi glanced at the sisters and brothers on the bridge, Shen Rendrunk hugged the sisters and brothers on the bridge and was teasing the fish swimming in the water, the swimming fish in the water thought they were here to feed, and they poured out of the water one after another. Some of the big fish jumped up and splashed them with a "porphyr" sound. The crisp smiles of the siblings came from afar.

Chen Ruzhi said with emotion: "Fortunately, Yao'er came in time, this is the luck of their sister and brother, and it is also the luck of the people of Qiongjun, but how many people in the world will encounter misfortune?" Yu Shi Tai Ti rode out in all directions, how many people can Yao'er save? ”

Yao'er muttered: "In life, to do things for others, you always have to ask for something, what do you want?" In the little girl's opinion, but it is enough to ask for peace of mind! What is peace of mind? In fact, there is no need to limit the size of what you can do, as long as you do your best. ”

"Well said!"

Chen Ruzhi clapped his hands and praised: "The husband is in the world, and he should be worried about the world, the country, the people, and the times." The righteousness is there, even though it is known that it cannot be done! However, if you do your best to save more people in the world and relieve more suffering, is Yao'er willing to do it with the old man? ”

When Chen Ruzhi said this, a face covered with age spots became extremely serious, and a pair of old eyes looked at Yao'er with burning eyes, which were so bright that people didn't dare to look at them. Yao'er was stunned, looked at Chen Ruzhi's old and resolute face, and couldn't help but become solemn, and said solemnly: "Why did Chen Gong teach me?" ”

Chen Ruzhi: "Yesterday, Hong Seyan left Qiongjun and went to Yunzhou in a hurry because you foiled his plot, what are Yao'er's plans?" ”

Yao'er was shocked and lost her voice: "What? Hong Seyan has left, oops! Why did Chen Gong say now, his niece had to rush immediately. ”

Chen Ruzhi: "What if Yao'er rushes there? Just like in Qiongjun, with a holy decree against a holy decree to stop him from killing? If he secretly crossed Chen Cang on the plank road and went elsewhere, what would happen to Yao'er. When you go and collect the bodies of the people who died in vain? Even if you can keep an eye on Hong Seyan and not teach him to kill a single person in vain, how can you stop the cool officials who are now rampant in the southwestern counties? ”

Yao'er looked at Chen Ruzhi a little strangely, faintly sensing something, and the anxious expression on his face gradually quieted down. He asked, "I don't know what Gong Chen's plan is?" ”

Chen Ruzhi: "The old man has a plan, which can not only get rid of Hong Seyan, a cool official, but also move a corner and shock the world, so that the cool officials who go to various provinces do not dare to act rashly, and they can be eradicated in one fell swoop, but this plan is very dangerous, Yao'er is willing to go to the country with the old man for thousands of Li people?" ”

Yao'er said: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Chen Ruzhi was not ambiguous, and he talked eloquently, which stunned Yao'er when he listened.

Yao'er comes from hating the sky, her original purpose in entering Lin'an was to find out the enemy hidden in the official mansion, in her heart, she has never faced the royal power, nor is she in awe of the royal power, and the sense of royal law is very indifferent to her.

But she never thought that Chen Ruzhi, an old man who has been a bureaucrat in the official system and is now seventy years old, would have such a whimsical idea. Such an extreme and risky idea actually came from an old man over seventy years old who had worked hard in officialdom all his life, if he hadn't heard him say it with his own ears, Yao'er wouldn't have believed it at all.

Chen Ruzhi's voice had some taste of Xiao Killing: "Instead of treating headaches and foot pains, it is better to find the root cause, and it will be a hundred!" ”

Chen Ruzhi dared to explain his plan to Yao'er because he completely believed in Yao'er, and believed that Yao'er would neither approve of his approach nor betray him.

Of course, if Haruka doesn't want to participate, and he still has to do it. Then he is playing with fire and is likely to let the situation develop to a point where he has no control over himself, if that's the case. He is likely to give up his plan, if he gives up his plan, then he doesn't have to worry about Yao'er's accusation, there is no evidence, as long as he denies it, he can't help him with Yao'er's words.

But Chen Ruzhi believes in Yao'er's personality. It doesn't mean that you can conspire with Yao'er, Chen Ruzhi also needs to know if Yao'er is a "rule-abiding" person.

What he wants to do is to have the world in his heart and justice in his heart. We must have great courage, and we must have the character of unscrupulous means to achieve the goal.

Chen Ruzhi's plan is simple: take advantage of the unruliness of the ethnic groups in the southwest and the insatiable greed of Hong Seyan to add fuel to the fire. provoke the conflict between them. Forcing the barbarians to rebel, if they can kill Hong Seyan, it is the best, if they can't kill him, the court can't spare him.

No matter how closed the news is in the southwestern counties, the news of the rebellion will definitely spread everywhere as quickly as possible, and most of the places where the displaced people are distributed are located in remote areas, and they are inhabited by ethnic minority tribes. In order to avoid the same thing happening on their own turf, the officials of each county were much less likely to cooperate with the Goshidai.

The officials of the Imperial Observatory will also cast a rat trap. In order to avoid making Hong Seyan's mistake again, he did not dare to slaughter the exiles unscrupulously. With just one move, you can destroy the cool officials and protect the people. However, the reason why the Imperial Historical Observatory came to the place this time was to verify that there was a rebellion, and if there was really a rebellion, it was likely to give the queen a false impression: "The Imperial Historical Observatory's report is true!" ”

Therefore, this matter is playing with fire, and if one is not handled carefully, it may be self-defeating.

In this case, two things must be done: one is to let the queen get the chapter to expose the crimes of the cool officials before the barbarians rebel, and lay a foreshadowing, once the barbarians really rebel, the queen will not completely believe the statement of the royal stage.

Second, it is necessary to quickly quell the rebellion, control the situation before the imperial court sends a large army to encircle and suppress it, and when the barbarian leader's plea of guilt arrives at the imperial court, compared with the previous officials' impeachment of the imperial history, they will be able to sit on the crimes of the imperial history platform, and they will be eradicated in one fell swoop, and they will never be able to turn over.

Chen Ruzhi's plan is not poisonous.

This is also the reason why he must be involved in it, because once the war breaks out, if it wants to be quelled quickly, it needs a person who can represent the court to appear in time, negotiate with the leaders of the rebel tribes, pacify them in time, and close this tiger back before they break into a bigger disaster.

Chen Ruzhi, an old man, has probably been working at the grassroots level for too long, squatting in a position for decades, but this position is pitifully small, and he finally had the opportunity to go straight to the center, and was demoted out of the capital in less than two years, this experience is too special, and it is inevitable that people will develop an extreme character.

Therefore, although Chen Ruzhi is over seventy years old, he is far from being as calm as other septuagenarians. Although, on the surface, he gives his colleagues and others a sense of "calm and heavy", but in his bones, he is simply an adventurer, a big adventurer. It's just that his adventurous spirit is not reflected in the conquest of the natural world, but in the sea of eunuchs.

When Yao'er heard his plan, she only felt a burst of shock, and the back of her head swished cold: this old man's courage is too great to come up with such a terrible plan! Using rebellion as a game? He is simply going to launch a great revolution in the southwest!

Yao'er said solemnly: "Not only do the barbarians rebel, but also within a controllable range, if you want to make them prosperous, if you want to make them subdued, how sure is Chen Gong?" ”

Chen Ruzhi smiled slightly and said, "The old man already knows the local situation very well. The barbarian is the opposite, it is as commonplace, it is a reversal when it is not five, and trivial things can also be reversed, give him a sweet date, and go back to farming and herding sheep, as it has always been. ”

Yao'er said: "Why didn't my niece hear about these things when she was in the capital? ”

Chen Ruzhi: "Because things settled down smoothly; Because, the magistrate turned the big thing into a small thing. Because, in the past, it was either because of the injustice of the decree, which was the responsibility of the imperial court. Either because there is no specific person responsible, from top to bottom, they want to calm things down. Now, do you think that the local leaders are still willing to settle things with people like Hong Seyan? ”

Yao'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she said: "Chen Gong said that they don't want to calm things down this time, so how can we control the situation?" ”

Chen Ruzhi: "The key to the problem naturally falls on Hong Seyan and you, if Hong Seyan, the culprit, can be ambushed, if you can come forward in time to clean up the mess, what do you think the result will be?" Those Tusi leaders are not idiots, they have never been arrogant enough to think that they are really capable of fighting against the imperial court, but they know better: if the imperial court sends troops to clean up, the money and grain are not a small amount, so when they can appease the restraints, the imperial court is not willing to use force. As long as we grasp this point and reach a balance, we will naturally be able to influence the situation......"

Yao'er furrowed her brows and walked slowly along the pond for a while, Huo Ran stopped and said to Chen Ruzhi: "What is Gong Chen going to do?" ”

The two of them stood by the pond for a long time.

There was a curling morning mist on the pond, and the figures of two people loomed in the morning mist.

Distant mountains, near water, rockeries, vines, small bridges, pavilions, all the scenery is shrouded in morning mist. It's like a smudged danqing. As the sun became brighter and brighter, the morning mist gradually dissipated, and the figures of Yao'er and Chen Ruzhi also dispersed.

"Send two people to escort Miss Gu Xiaohua and her younger brother back, and hand them over to their parents with their own hands!" Chen Ruzhi stood in the courtyard, gave a word to the steward, and then turned around and walked to the study.

There are two rows of bookshelves in the study, antique, and there are several pots of vine on top of the bookshelf. The tender green branches and leaves hang down, adding a bit of interest to this quiet and elegant study.

A gray-robed monk sits cross-legged behind a few cases on which incense is burned.

The gray-clothed monk meditated cross-legged, counting the twisted beads in one hand, closing his eyes slightly, and reciting the scriptures softly.

Chen Ruzhi walked into the study and didn't disturb him, just picked up a futon and sat down cross-legged across from him.

The gray-clothed monk looked to be only in his thirties and fair-skinned. The eyebrows are light and the face is handsome.

The gray-clothed monk recited the sutra for a while. Gently opened his eyes, and saw that Chen Ruzhi had already sat in front of him, hurriedly clasped his hands together, and smiled: "Chen Gong." ”

Chen Ruzhi smiled and said, "Yao'er has already agreed!" ”

"Oh?"

The gray-clothed monk raised his eyebrows, recited a Buddha name, and said: "In this way, the devil Hong Seyan must be ambushed, and the plight of the creatures in the southwest can be solved." ”

Chen Ruzhi: "A few days ago, the old man had already impeached the officials in the southwestern counties. Neither the heart of Anyuan Jingkou, nor the ability to govern the place, porcelain separation, cunning and cunning, mutual friends, and children, the Central Plains are outlawed, and they all regard the lawless land of the border county as a happy land.

Since Yao'er agreed to cooperate with the old man, the old man is ready to make another table, impeaching Hong Seyan for blackmailing places, indiscriminately torture, and where he passes, the people and grievances are boiling, and first make a footnote to the changes in the future. It's just that the old man is a foreign minister, and in front of the queen, he is far less trusted than the officials of Yushitai, and he still has to contact his comrades more and impeach him together, and this matter will trouble Master Guoyan. ”

The gray-clothed monk hurriedly said, "I am willing to run for Chen Gong!" (To be continued......)
