Zhang Ye, who was sitting in the flower hall, was very troubled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few years ago, Mr. Zhang did a good job in the office of Suizhou Zhizhou, and he saw that his career was very good, but he was affected by an inexplicable civil upheaval. The local clan blamed him for his ineffective bullet suppression, and some people in the court made irresponsible remarks, so he had no choice but to honestly ask the guilty file to cover it and go home.

When he was at home, he was not idle. has been in the officialdom for many years, who doesn't have a few old bosses and old friends? The movement that should be walked, the climbing of the friendship, after a long time, the accident in Suizhou has long been forgotten, and under the operation of his friends, he finally waited for the opportunity to go back out of the mountain. Although the official position has changed from the state to the state and the state Tongzhi, and the post has changed from the first to the second in command, he is still happy to take office.

Why?

Compared with Suizhou, which has been unregulated and rainy in recent years, although Linzhou is smaller, it is a place where businessmen gather and a place where all directions meet. To be able to serve in such a rich place, the ancestral grave will be smoking, and whoever catches up with this opportunity will definitely be overjoyed.

Besides, the war in the north continues, and the imperial court and Beihu have won and lost each other, and it seems that the border has been difficult to stop in recent years. Linzhou is not only a transportation hub, but also an important distribution center and transfer station for military supplies; As long as you are careful not to poke out the basket, you can always share some credit. Although you have to take the risk, you may also be dumped, but as the saying goes, wealth is in danger! I didn't let you risk the arrows to go to the battlefield, what else is there to be dissatisfied?

Who knows, after less than half a year, it will become today's situation!

When he was in a state of confusion, a little servant walked into the back hall and gave a salute: "Master, there is a person named Xiao Jing who asks to see him." ”

"Nope!" Zhang Ye said angrily: "Didn't I tell you? Before the will, no one was seen, and people from outside said that the official was unwell, and it was inconvenient to see guests? ”

The little guy said with an aggrieved face: "The villain naturally told him." However, he said that he must see the master today no matter what. If he doesn't see him, he won't leave. By the way, he also said that he was the president of the Mirror newspaper......"

Zhang Ye slapped the table heavily, bared his teeth and said, "Are you still finished?" If you don't want to go, let him stay! Oh, no, doesn't that mean that there is no one in my state? So, you go find two men with hands and feet, and beat him out first! ”

The little guy answered. Before he went out, Zhang Ye, who came back to his senses, suddenly stopped him and asked, "You just said that he claimed to be the president of the Mirror Daily?" Can you really hear me? ”

"That's right." The little guy replied: "The villain was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he specially asked it a second time." ”

The expression on Zhang Ye's face was weird. He pondered for a moment and said, "This official wants to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd." Bring him in! ”

After a while, Xiao Jing stood in front of Zhang Ye.

He solemnly bowed and saluted, and said, "Xiao Jing, a grass man, has seen Lord Zhang. ”

Zhang Ye nodded lazily and said, "Young Master Xiao doesn't have to be polite. The official is ill, and he is tired from taking care of official duties while sick, and it is really not suitable to meet guests. If it weren't for the arrival of the well-known Mirror News President Xiao Da, this official would never have seen him. Childe, please take a seat, and if you have any advice, please make a long story short.

Xiao Jing sat down at the bottom of the house. Taking advantage of the moment when Zhang Ye pretended to cough, he raised his head slightly and quickly glanced at the other party's appearance, and he also had a bottom in his heart.

"Sick" or something, it must be made up. But if it is said that he has been unable to sleep for ten days and half a month because of anxiety in his heart, Xiao Jing absolutely believes it. It's very simple, just look at your eyes: the dark circles next to Zhang's eyes are about to catch up with the national treasure giant panda!

Xiao Jing said quietly: "Linzhou has suffered a big change, thanks to Lord Zhang's sitting, the situation has been stabilized. Now, seeing the adults in charge of official business, Xiao is very impressed. ”

Zhang Ye waved his hand and said, "It's too famous!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Jing's gaze wandered a little, he said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say it, the manpower of the yamen is too tight, everyone is so busy that there is no one to serve tea and water." When the guests come but don't serve tea, it's not a way of hospitality, but there is really no way at the moment, and I ask the son to bear with me. ”

Xiao Jing sighed: "It's okay, Xiao is not thirsty." What Lord Zhang said was indeed the truth, and he saw a poor person at the door just now, as if he hadn't eaten enough. When the Beihu people invaded, the people in the state government lost seven or eight out of ten, and it was difficult to do things at this time. ”

It sounds like there's something in the words!

Zhang Ye squinted his eyes and said, "Xiao Gongzi is here, just to sigh in front of this official?" ”

Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "Definitely." If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, Xiao has private affairs and official affairs. It's a private matter...... I heard that the adult is from Puhua Town, I don't know, right? ”

Zhang Ye nodded slowly, and his face was better than just now.

Xiao Jing continued: "Xiao has a wild crane, and he can only settle down when he arrives in Puhua Town. Moreover, the newspaper office of the mirror newspaper is also in Puhua Town. In this way, Xiao is half of Puhua Town, and he also has a little nostalgia for the town. At the beginning, I heard the name of Master Zhang in the next place, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to see it; Now that I am fortunate to come to Linzhou, of course, I want to visit my fellow villagers. ”

Zhang Ye's face finally had a smile: "The prince has done a lot of good things in the town, and he has done a lot of good things for the benefit of Sangzi, and he has heard about it when the official is idle." ”

He inquired about Mr. Zhang's origin from Qin Ziqian early in the morning, so he dared to report his family and said that he was the president of the newspaper. In the first half year of the release of the Mirror Newspaper, Zhang Ye was still idle at home, even if he went out, he was just going to the capital to run officials, of course he knew what the Mirror Newspaper was and how much energy it had.

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "It's just a trivial matter, and adults praise it." ”

A few more polite words, talking about nothing more than the landscape characters of Puhua Town, the atmosphere between the guests and the host was unconsciously harmonious.

Chatting and chatting, Xiao Jing saw that it was almost time, so he changed his words and said: "As soon as the Linzhou incident came out, Xiao was also anxious. Taking the opportunity to ask for advice, I also want to share the worries of adults, which is what Shicai said. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Ye smiled lightly: "Although this official is sick, he is also in charge of Linzhou's affairs, and he always knows something. The state city is dilapidated, but at least it is peaceful and calm for now, and there is no chaos; As for reconstruction and restoration, it is not a one-day or two-day work, and I want to come to the imperial court to understand. I don't know if in the eyes of the childe, why is the official worried? ”

Xiao Jing said solemnly: "The so-called loyalty is against the ear, Xiao is quick to speak, and if he has something to say today, he will say it directly, don't blame me: if you don't know that a catastrophe is coming, why do you want to describe yourself as haggard and panicked all day long?" ”

Zhang Ye moved the corners of his mouth, frowned, and said, "Big disaster? Where did the great woe come from! The Beihu people are gone, do they still have the courage to go and return? ”

I can't have a pleasant chat. Lao Tzu was kind enough to help you get through, but you desperately fought with me! If it weren't for the sake of the people of the city......

Xiao Jing said calmly: "The disaster naturally does not refer to the Beihu people. My lord, it's been two months since the Hu people left, has the court ever had a will? ”

Zhang Ye said indifferently: "This official has reported, and someone has come to ask about the situation in Linzhou, and then there has been no news. It's cold and snowy outside, and even if there is anything to deal with, it can't come down quickly. Perhaps, there will be a saying about the beginning of spring, right? ”

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly: "In the battle of Linzhou, the governor, the general judge, and the garrison all died in their duties. My lord is safe and sound, but if someone mentions this, how would you answer? ”

Zhang Ye said proudly: "It's not that you are afraid of the enemy and abscond, what can't you say?" On the day of the incident, the official was ordered by Zhizhou to go to Cangyun County on a business trip, so as to escape. I also wrote this matter in the article, who can embarrass this official on this basis? ”

This is the thing that Zhang Ye is most happy about. Na Zhizhou didn't get along with him, saying that he was sent on a business trip, but in fact, it was just a drudgery that he couldn't get rid of and didn't have any meaning in the icy and snowy season. Who would have thought that the Beihu people would not come early or late, but they would enter Linzhou City on this day, and Zhizhou's arrangement saved his life. Heaven forbid!

In addition, before going to work this time, he deliberately left his family in Puhua Town, preparing to take it over after a while. Who knows, it happened to escape the catastrophe in Linzhou! Compared to him, Zhizhou and the others were much more miserable: not only did they die after breaking the city, but they also put the whole family inside.

Xiao Jing shrugged: "In that case, do you have an official document?" ”

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and said: "Zhizhou gave instructions verbally, but he didn't leave an official document, but the attachés who ran the errand together knew about it......

Xiao Jing stared at him directly, with a little helplessness in his eyes: "The city of Linzhou is broken, 10,000 people are slaughtered, blood is flowing like a river, and valuable goods are also looted." Afterwards, the Beihu people successfully retreated, leaving only a broken wall. This incident has already caused a sensation in the capital, whether it is a scholar or a peddler, it is a national shame. The adult is the only remaining pastoral official in Linzhou, do you still want to get out of the way? Speaking of which, it's better to die than to die. At the very least, they were martyred. ”

Zhang Ye was silent. These truths are very simple, and there is no need for Xiao Jing to say it at all, he himself knows better than anyone else. It's just that people have a fluke mentality, and when things come to an end and there is nothing to do, they often use some ridiculous reasons to create a false sense of security for themselves, and sometimes they will be immersed in it and can't extricate themselves.

Willing to see Xiao Jing shows that Zhang Ye knows the seriousness of the problem and has a glimmer of hope. It's a pity that while chatting, he returned to his self-emboldening routine, and the words he said became "twists and turns" in officialdom.

Actually, the problem is really serious. After the incident, he tried to write letters to people he knew, but all the letters were lost and he did not receive any reply. This means that everyone knows that his situation is dangerous, and they also show an attitude of helplessness.

Xiao Jing paused before saying, "Since it is a national shame, someone must be responsible." You have been in the officialdom for many years, and there are some things that I don't need to say: Is it difficult to cure your crimes? Not to mention that you don't have an official document, even if you do, so what? ”

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Judging from the Di newspaper, the imperial court is not ready to move troops. Adults should know what this means! ”
