The hairpin club is a place for girls to show themselves, but for Liang Xiang, it is just one of the ways he finds an excuse to get his colleagues together to discuss things.

There is no way, the court is short of money.

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Liang Jian knows the current situation of the court better than anyone else, so there are two words, lack of money. On one side is the empty treasury, on the other side are the ministers who are holding high the white stripes, on the other side are the people who are waiting to be fed, and on the other side are the border gates that have been in arrears for many years. Liang Xiang knew very well that if the situation did not improve, then the people waiting for the court would either be hungry and rebellious or mutinous border troops.

"It would be nice if there were two more Jaenhou in the world."

As soon as the words came out, Liang Xiang realized that he had lost his words.

The right attendant of the household sitting below said with a smile: "Could it be that this is the reason why Xiangye agreed to General Jia's daughter to participate in this hairpin party?" ”

The right waiter of the household department, surnamed Zheng, has a single name. His wife is his childhood sweetheart's cousin, so he has a vulgar nickname, Brother Jing. But this Brother Jing is not Guo Jing in Jin Yong's novel, he is so honest that people want to smoke him. Zheng Jing is the mainstay of Liang Xiang's small group, if it weren't for his careful calculations, I am afraid that the imperial court would not even be able to issue the year-end bonus this year.

Here is another explanation of the three provinces and six ministries system of the Great Qi Dynasty. Although it is said that the system of three provinces and six ministries is the basic authority of the state, the six Shangshu are just honorary titles, that is, when the imperial court officials are old, they will be given the post of Shangshu according to the situation to show their favor. In other words, the six scholars actually don't care about anything, they just have a name, and the person who really does things is the squire. The left squire is in charge of the affairs of each department, while the right squire is in charge of specific affairs. Take the household department, for example. There is only one person on the left side of the household, but there are four right waiters below. It manages four departments: the household department, the degree branch, the gold department, and the warehouse department.

Zheng Jing is the person brought out by Liang Xiang, and he bears the mark of Liang Xiang. But it's with very capable people. If it weren't for him in scheduling and balancing in it, I'm afraid that the court wouldn't be calm.

Liang Xiang smiled: "What, are you also paying attention to this girl?" ”

Zheng Jing said: "After many years, I saw fundraising again, or because of this girl, how can people not sigh?" It is also thanks to him that the affairs at the border have only improved this year, and the imperial court has the spare strength to take care of the displaced people, otherwise, the imperial court will be anxious again in the second half of this year. ”

Several of the ministers in the room laughed. Their expressions were also much more relaxed than in previous years.

The left waiter of the Ministry said with a smile: "Xiangye, although the fundraising matter was opened by the Empress Taishang, the matter started with this woman. And his father was the first to pay off the deficit. Banzai was really impressed with their family. ”

Liang Xiang's heart moved, and said, "You all borrowed silver?" ”

The left waiter of the ministry said: "Xiangye, how can there be people in this court who do not borrow silver, we have more or less borrowed a little silver, hundreds of taels less, thousands of taels more, most of them are borrowed at the end of the year and repaid at the end of the year." Or the family has money ready to pay off the bill at any time. Now that the Manchu Dynasty has borrowed silver, if we don't borrow it, then it will either become an outsider, or we will not be bad in everything. It will also be run on. That way, we don't have to do anything. ”

Liang Xiang said: "It's good if you have a number." Long live Lord is worried about the current situation of the treasury, and maybe one day he will be forced to be in a hurry. will chase after the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to ask for money. When the time comes, you don't want to be the first to pay back. Of course, don't put it off until the time when the thunder is furious. In short, you should grasp this degree well. ”

"Yes."

Here's a series of echoes.

The left attendant of the ministry said: "Xiangye." To tell the truth, there is a lot of discussion in the ministry now. Although Banzai has a good impression of the Jia family, but in the end, everyone is waiting for a good show in the end. ”

Liang Xiangdao: "I heard that Jia Enhou's son is going to participate in the Ming Arithmetic Department this year?" The following must be arranged, let him be the chief bookkeeper in the army, right? ”

The left servant of the ministry said: "Not only that, but there are already people lobbying in front of Banzai to let Jia Yu go to supervise the army. ”

Liang Xiang raised his eyes and said, "Prison Army? I think I want him to die, right? In order to tide over the snowstorm every three to five years in the grasslands in the north, a large-scale grass valley is held in the north every year. This year, the imperial court has raised millions of taels of grain, grass and ordnance for the border passes, and it is impossible for the north not to know any news. Let Najaenhou be the supervisor of the army, and by the way, let his son be the chief bookkeeper of the army. Where is this to give credit to them, it simply wants the lives of their father and son. ”

Liang Xiang is also an old fox who has experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, where would he not know the methods of those people.

Duan Heng, a scholar from the middle school, said: "Xiangye, it is difficult to be angry. ”

Liang Xiangdao: "Who is behind the scenes?" ”

The left attendant of the ministry said: "Although their father and son are angry, there are all kinds of indications that the person who fanned the flames behind his back is Wang Ziteng's niece. ”

Liang Xiang said: "Wang Ziteng's niece? ”

The left waiter of the ministry said: "It is the Wang Xifeng who was withdrawn." It is said that after he was dismissed, several handkerchiefs were handed over to visit him, and as he spoke, he would talk about the shortfall. Either sighing that the Jia family is wealthy, or worrying that the visitor's parents and family will be rejected by the imperial court in comparison. In the end, everyone who left the Wang family held a grudge against the Jia family. The lowly council knew about this because the daughter of the nephew of the humble Jing had also been to the Wang family. ”

Liang Xiang snorted coldly and said, "The daughter of the Wang family is really well-educated. ”

Zhongshushe said: "Xiangye, do we want to do it?" ”

Liang Xiang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do anything." If Jia Yu's father and son die, their father and son will become eternal loyal servants in Banzai's heart. If they are lucky enough to survive this fate, then it will not be too late for us to make friends with each other. The people I am worried about are the exiles who are detaining the capital masters. There are many more displaced people this year than in previous years, not to mention Suzaku Street, even Qinglong Street has also appeared as homeless people. It's better if it's safe, but if there is a plague, I'm afraid that the emperor will have to issue an edict. ”

The great plague will be followed by a great plague. It's common sense. If the disaster happened in Jingshi and forced the emperor to issue an edict, he, the prime minister, would also do it.

The right attendant of the household said: "It's a pity. Back then, the daughter of the Wang family once raised the matter of the plague,......"

Liang Xiang shouted: "Be careful! This matter was the will of the Emperor Taishang, and he destroyed a trace left by the Wang family's daughter. Do you want to question the Emperor? ”

The right attendant of the household said solemnly: "Don't dare." I just think that the emperor is a bit overkill. ”

Liang Xiang sighed. said: "Although Prince Lao Yizhong is not a son-in-law, he is also the prince who the Emperor once had high hopes for. The Emperor even dismissed three prime ministers for him in a row. The daughter of the Wang family may not be so unbearable, but he is indeed the culprit who brought the Emperor Taishang and Prince Lao Yizhong to this point. Do you think that the emperor will change his words lightly? ”

I only heard someone outside say: "Then according to what my uncle said, what if there is a second Wang girl?" ”

"Leave it behind and get it fast." Liang Xiangdao, "Yan'er, do you think there will be a second Wang girl in the court?" ”

"In the middle and upper appearance, there is no cold hair that is not as good as the legendary Wang girl; The qualifications are average, and he answers whatever others ask, and he looks stunned, as if he has no scheming. But he once went to the Golden Luan Temple, and he once received the boast of the saints. also got the name of the queen's mother. What's more, he was chosen by the Dao Sect at a young age, and no one knows what he will become in the future. ”

Liang Xiang said: "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Didn't my uncle already guess it? The daughter of Jia Enhou, the girl of the Jia family who was named after the queen's mother, Jia Jiu. Or does the uncle not think that the eighteenth change of the female university, but believes that as long as the person selected by the Taoist sect is of excellent character, he believes like those foolish men and stupid women? ”

Liang Xiangdao: "It turned out to be him? ”

"Exactly."

Liang Xiang said: "If it's him, don't worry. ”

"Uncle!"

Liang Xiangdao: "I said not to worry because I believe that he will not become bad, but because he has a short life." ”

At this moment, Wu Yan finally couldn't hold his prodigal face: "Uncle." What do you say? ”

Liang Xiang said: "I only know a little more than you know. In previous years, there were also many people who were favored by the Daomen, some were well-educated, some were young talents, and some were just ordinary people. But most of these people don't live long. The only thing these people have in common is that they got two books from Daomen, and these two books are now in the hands of this girl. ”

"What about the cause of death?"

"Gone mad, the meridians are disordered."

When Wu Yan heard this, he immediately rushed out.

Liang Xiang sighed. said: "My nephew is good at everything, but this personality needs to be changed." Where in the world is there so much black and white? I can be the left minister. But it doesn't come from compassion. ”

Liang Xiang was worried about his nephew, but he also knew. It's good that my nephew can do this now. Speaking of which, the situation of the Wu family and the Jia family is also somewhat similar. The Wu family is also one of the new families, and it is later than the Jia family. However, the old lady of the Wu family is still alive, and the old lady of the Wu family is eccentric, and the old lady of the Wu family is checking on it. Several masters of the Wu family are not smart enough like the Jia family, but their wife Changfang is Liang Xiang's own sister. Even for the sake of his sister's face, Liang Xiang will not fail to take care of him. And the biggest difference between the Wu family and the Jia family is that the Wu family believes in Liang Xiang very much and obeys Liang Xiang.

Although Wu Yan is a little arrogant, he is like Liang Xiang, he is a person who can read, and his family is carefully raised, so he naturally won the Jinshi in everything, and then entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi. What worries Liang Xiang is that this nephew is a little naïve, he was fine when he was in Hanlin Academy, if he came out to make up for the official and didn't change his temperament, he would definitely suffer.

Wu Yan didn't know about his uncle's worries. At this moment, he was worried about another thing, that is, whether his friend would also be a long-lived person.

On the sound stage, Yan Wei was flipping through the pages of the lone book he had found, but the book in his hand flew coldly, and when he looked up again, he saw an angry face.

"Sanyu, sue me, are you practicing the martial arts of the Daomen?"

Yan Wei smiled and said, "Yes." ”

"The one who can't practice, will go crazy!"

Yan Wei put away his smile and said, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Wu Yan sat down beside Yan Wei and said, "Who else can there be, naturally it is my uncle." You sue me, have you practiced at all? ”

Yan Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "The martial arts I practice are different from the martial arts that your uncle said. Taoism pays attention to health preservation, and the vast majority of martial arts pay attention to it step by step. The only exception is a copy of "Jiuyang Tianjue". ”

"Did you practice?"

"Not me. However, if someone really practices this masterpiece. Then it is possible that I am his initiate. ”

……………………

There was a sudden silence on the Changyin platform, and it took a long time to hear Wu Yan find his voice: "A fellow practitioner like Buddhism Huanxi Zen? ”

Yan Wei was stunned. Then he couldn't cry or laugh: "Buddhism is Buddhism, and Taoism is Taoism." Although it is a fellow initiates. It's just living in the same yard, getting along day and night, and cultivating tacit understanding. Where is the last public gift? If a man is fine, it is okay to get up and lie down together, enter and exit together, but if it is a woman, it is necessary to pay attention to the defense of men and women. Moreover, no one has practiced "Jiuyang Heavenly Formula" so far, but there are several corresponding preparatory paths, and I am just one of them. ”

After hearing what Yan Wei said, Wu Yan was obviously relieved. said: "Then do you know that the girl of the Jia family got this terrible martial arts?" ”

Yan Wei's expression also became solemn, and he said softly: "He is not the first nor the last, but he is the youngest. Originally, a child like him had to learn the Tao from his teacher for a few years before he could start practicing this martial arts, but he was named by Dao Kui himself, and several uncles and uncles did not object. Dao Kui has high expectations for him. ”

Wu Yan said: "This martial arts is very easy to learn? ”

Yan Wei shook his head and said, "It's easy to get started." But there is a very important thing about this martial arts, that is, the faster you advance, the easier it is to go crazy. It is obviously a fast-track martial art, but it requires control of progress, for most people who come into contact with this martial art. It's a very difficult thing to do. ”

"Has anyone ever practiced that door?"

"Except for the founder of this martial art, no one has practiced it for many years. In fact, all the teachers have also tried this martial art, but everyone has shown signs of going mad when they are using it, so they have to put it on hold in the end. This is also the reason why this martial arts society allows new disciples to practice. If you want to practice this martial art. It takes not only understanding and penance, but also luck and concentration. In contrast, experience seems irrelevant. ”

"Is this martial art very powerful?"

"It is said that Master Bo relied on this martial art all the way to the north. 10,000 beheaded. ”

Wu Yan looked at Yan Wei's solemn face and was suddenly speechless. He couldn't understand the pursuit of martial arts by people who practiced martial arts, but years of upbringing had taught him to be considerate and tolerant. Even if you don't agree with it in your heart. I will not lightly oppose it.

Wu Yan looked at Yan Wei for a while before saying, "That girl from the Jia family is also here today, do you want to see it?" ”

Yan Wei hadn't spoken yet. Wu Yan beckoned the people below to invite Jia Jiu.

"This girl is really. The back garden of my uncle's house is not big, why didn't I get there after walking for so long? I've told him a long time ago that you're here. ”

Yan Wei's eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise: "Ah Yan, ...... are you?"

Wu Yan shrugged his shoulders, looking at the very unsightly movements that looked particularly good in him: "Haven't you been caring about this kid all these days?" If you care so much, why are you hiding it? You're not the kind of person who wants to join in the fun. ”

Wu Yan knew very well that his friend was not such a person who would nod his head to participate in the hairpin flower party. And if your friends want to see you, you can come directly to yourself or post to yourself, and you don't need to participate in this hairpin party at all.

When Jia Jiu arrived, what he saw was such a beautiful picture, the gentle and elegant son of the turbid world with the prodigal son who was happy in time, one with a smile on his face, but with sorrow in his eyes, and the other looked at each other with a gentle face, but the two painting styles that were completely incompatible were extremely harmonious at this moment.

In an instant, Jia Jiu was overturned.

I forgot to mention that Jia Jiu was also an out-and-out rotten girl, still a stuffy, sassy, and stylish.

Before Jia Jiu came in, the two nobles in front of him were obviously talking about something, and when Jia Jiu came in and sat down on the ground, the other party actually beckoned and asked Jia Jiu to sit in front of them. Jia Jiu took three steps forward, but the other party didn't feel close enough, until Jia Jiu was almost sitting next to Yan Xun.

Jia Jiu didn't forget about it, the son who was sitting opposite him happened to be the eldest princess's crush. If you're not careful, you'll become scum.

As soon as Jia Jiu sat down in front of him, Yan Wei stretched out his hand and immediately grabbed Jia Jiu's pulse. Obviously, even after practicing martial arts, Jia Jiu does not have this awareness, and he doesn't know that the veins are not something that can be touched casually. He just didn't feel comfortable touching his wrist.

As soon as Yan Wei probed Jia Jiu's pulse, he probed Jia Jiu's situation.

It's too fast. Even if this kid starts cultivating as soon as he gets his hands on it, this progress is still too fast. In just over a month. Jia Jiu already has the same skills as himself. With such a rapid progress, he is likely to go crazy at any moment.

Yan Wei's face is like the color of earth. Wu Yan also knew the result from Yan Wei's expression, and patted Yan Wei on the shoulder at the moment. Only then did he smile and say to Jia Jiu: "Girl, I heard that Daomen gave you two books, how do you feel?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Very good." I copy books whenever I am upset, especially the Tao Te Ching, and as long as I copy it slowly, it will calm down. What's wrong? ”

Yan Wei said: "How long have you been upset?" ”

Jia Jiu tilted his head and said, "There are a lot of troubles in my family, and there are even more situations that make me upset." Why do you ask. ”

Yan Wei said: "Daomen martial arts pay attention to step by step. When I tested your pulse, I felt that your progress was too fast. ”

"Too fast?"

Jia Jiu looked at Yan Wei, thinking in his heart that the other party was also a lay disciple of the Daomen. It is clear that there is a reason to say this. Maybe you're admonishing yourself to pay more attention to the basics? Maybe I should spend more time on the first form of "Jiuyang Heavenly Jue"? That's right, the world of Perak is recorded in Jiazi, and those congenitals count Jiazi as soon as they talk about things, and they feel that the Jiazi in their mouths is similar to the year in the mouths of ordinary people. It seems that it took only a hundred years for me to use the first formula of "Jiuyang Tianjue", which seems to be really too short. Why don't you spend 300 years? It's only five Jiazi, which is about the same as five years for ordinary people.

Jia Jiu was calculating the points in his hand and the points he could get in the future, and on the other hand, he was calculating the points he could pay. He resolutely forgot about it, others didn't have any [Advanced Cultivation Ground], and there was no way to redeem the time. In the eyes of others, he was able to cultivate into what he is today in just one month. It's not just the relationship of "Jiuyang Tianjue", my qualifications are also excellent.

Jia Jiu didn't know that he had made a mistake again—he seemed to often make mistakes and make a fool of himself in front of Yan Wei—but Wu Yan saw that something was wrong with his friend.

Wu Yan said: "Girl, do you know that there is a problem with the two books in your hand?" ”

Jia Jiu looked at Yan Wei, he knew that Yan Wei was a disciple of the Daomen. I also know that the status of the other party is not low, but it is limited to that. Seeing Yan Wei nodding to himself, Jia Jiu said, "I know." There is a copy of "Jiuyang Tianjue" and a copy of "Xingyi Taijiquan" in that "Nanhua Sutra". Such obvious traces, I can understand it at a glance. Any questions? ”

Wu Yan said: "Then do you know the ...... of "Jiuyang Heavenly Formula"?"

Yan Wei suddenly spoke: "Friend." There are rules in the Daomen, and "Jiuyang Tianjue" can only be comprehended by yourself. No matter what the state of this child's cultivation is. No one else can talk too much about this child. ”

Jia Jiu said: "But a Taoist said to me before, let me go to Zixia Temple to find Senior Brother Mo if I have any questions. Why do you say you can only comprehend it on your own? ”

Yan Wei sighed and said, "Even if you go to Mo and ask Senior Brother, Mo Qian Senior Brother can only tell you at most, how a certain word or word is usually explained in Taoist classics, but he will not tell you how to cultivate the Jiuyang Heavenly Formula." Because so far, except for the master uncle, no one has refined this martial art. ”

Yan Wei looked at Jia Jiu, he thought that Jia Jiu would continue to ask, but he didn't expect that Jia Jiu would only answer him in the end.

After looking at Jia Jiu for a long time, Yan Wei said, "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Probably I'm stupid. I could only memorize the whole book, but I couldn't find a question to ask. ”

If you want to ask questions, you must also have a certain foundation and basic skills, Jia Jiu has just begun to read, where can I find any problems?

When Yan Wei thought of this, he also sighed and said, "Then when you cultivate, will your chest hurt?" ”

Jia Jiu blinked and shook his head.

Yan Wei was very surprised. He knew that many people who had practiced "Jiuyang Heavenly Formula" would have chest pain at the beginning, and if they didn't stop, they would go crazy. This kid's progress is so fast, why is there nothing at all? (To be continued......)
