Bao Wenjie, as the deputy envoy of the decree, his main responsibility is to supervise Zuo Lanshan and Zhao Junchen, and prevent Zuo Lanshan from deliberately conniving at Zhao Junchen to stay in Huamachi Camp and delay returning to the capital.

Bao Wenjie originally didn't think that this task was so difficult, after all, the content of this holy decree was not only to reward Zhao Junchen, but also clearly required Zhao Junchen to leave for the capital immediately after receiving the holy decree, without any delay!

In fact, Bao Wenjie has already made up his mind, as long as Zhao Junchen has a slight delay after receiving the holy decree, he will move this holy decree out, you Zhao Junchen still dare to resist the decree? With this big hat buttoned down, Zhao Junchen definitely didn't dare to resist and obediently followed him back to the capital.

Bao Wenjie's idea is very beautiful, but he still underestimated the treacherous and cunning of these corrupt officials and traitors after all.

He never expected that before he could send the holy decree to Zhao Junchen, the itinerary and time had already been delayed, and the person who was looking for various reasons to delay the time was not Zhao Junchen, but Zuo Lanshan, who was responsible for passing on the decree!

On the contrary, Zuo Lanshan's reason is still very good - I am just sick, I just want to rest, and the doctor can't diagnose it, it's just that they are not good at medicine, what can you do with me? If I am forced to go on the road with illness, once my condition deteriorates and I die, who will dare to bear this responsibility?

I, Zuo Lanshan, am the minister of the decree, and I am also an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, you are just a deputy envoy and a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, do you dare to commit a crime and tie me with a rope?

The official level crushed people to death, Zuo Lanshan's identity and power position are just one level higher than Bao Wenjie's? In the face of Zuolan Mountain's sa lai spoofing, Bao Wenjie was naturally helpless.

At the beginning, Bao Wenjie saw Zuo Lanshan's repeated illness, and he would do his best to find a doctor and a prescription, but Bao Wenjie quickly saw that no matter how he tried to heal Zuo Lanshan's body, even if he found a thousand-year-old ginseng and found an imperial doctor, Zuo Lanshan was still sick when he should be sick, and he had to rest once he got sick, anyway, he was unwilling to hurry up.

During this period of time, because of Zuo Lanshan's deliberate pretending to be sick and delaying, Bao Wenjie couldn't care about the difference in the identities of the two sides, and couldn't help but quarrel with him many times.

Today, after repeated quarrels, the two have completely torn their faces, and they all avoid and ignore each other on weekdays, and when they are in a hurry, it is also Zuolanshan's sedan chair walking in the front, and Bao Wenjie's sedan chair is dragging in the rear, with many carriages and horses and entourage in between, which is quite a bit of old and dead.

On this day, Bao Wenjie also sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and found that after the sedan chair stopped, he didn't care too much, but thought that Zuo Lanshan was looking for a reason to rest again, and now he couldn't help but want to get angry when he saw Zuo Lanshan, so he sat in the sedan chair and didn't want to show up.

But after Bao Wenjie waited for a long time, he still didn't see the herald team resume moving forward, and he couldn't help but open the sedan curtain to check the situation, and was suddenly shocked by the dense and boundless people in front of him.

Bao Wenjie is the same as Zuo Lanshan, after he saw this scene, his first reaction was that the victims rushed to the capital to escape the famine.

However, without waiting for Bao Wenjie to inquire about the details, he received an order from Zuolanshan, saying that these people were not fleeing the famine, but farmers who went to the north of Zhili to reclaim wasteland, and asked the herald team to take the initiative to make way for these people.

After hearing Zuo Lanshan's order, Bao Wenjie couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that a big corrupt official like Zuo Lanshan, who had no conscience, would also have such a behavior of cherishing the people.

But Zuo Lanshan's second order—that he had suddenly eaten a bad stomach, and that the messenger team would rest for three days after entering Xi'an City—made Bao Wenjie unable to sit still any longer, and immediately ran to Zuo Lanshan angrily to question.

*

When Bao Wenjie saw Zuo Lanshan again, he saw Zuo Lanshan's face ruddy and full of energy, but it was late, obviously a little hungry, and he was tasting a piece of peach cake in the sedan chair with relish.

This is also the reason why Bao Wenjie can't help but get angry at Zuo Lanshan.

For Zuo Lanshan, his "illness" is just an excuse to delay the trip, but he disdains to deliberately act for Bao Wenjie, and does whatever he needs to do on weekdays, without the slightest sickness or any disguise!

Especially after the two of them tore their faces, although Zuo Lanshan kept claiming that he was in pain here and there, his every move was unmistakably told Bao Wenjie - I just found a reason not to leave, what can you do?

Don't look at Zuo Lanshan as just a puppet placed by Zhao Junchen in the cabinet, and he doesn't have much confidence when he sees the rest of the cabinet elders, but after all, he is the head of the hundred officials and the top of the ministers, and he will not take Bao Wenjie, a powerless and powerless Qingliu waiter, in his eyes.

At this time, after seeing Zuo Lanshan tasting the peach crisp, Bao Wenjie only felt that he had been humiliated, his anger rushed to his brain, and the blood vessels on his forehead were also beating rapidly, as if they would explode at any time.

In the end, Bao Wenjie finally resisted the urge to scold, gritted his teeth and said: "Although Zuo Ge Lao has eaten a bad stomach, his appetite is still undiminished!" I heard that Zuo Ge Lao is now suffering from abdominal pain, and Xia Guan hurriedly came to condole, but when he saw Zuo Ge Lao's ruddy face and full of energy, he didn't look like he was sick! ”

Zuo Lanshan took a bite of the peach crisp again, chewed it slowly for a long time, and finally swallowed it in his stomach, but asked with a smile: "These peach cakes were brought from the capital by this pavilion, all of them are treasures from the Li family's shop, do you want to taste two pieces of Bao Shilang?" Oh, and there are sour plum ...... here in this pavilion."

After speaking, without waiting for Bao Wenjie to get angry, Zuo Lanshan had already finished eating the peach cake in his hand, took a cup of fragrant tea from Chang Sui's hand, and sighed: "Bao Shilang, don't look at me now, I seem to be in good spirits now, but in fact, I am just holding on, after all, I am the elder of the pavilion, and the more weak and sick I am now, the more I have to behave more energetically, otherwise I will be underestimated...... Alas, if you eat bad stomach, diarrhea will not stop, of course, you have to eat more to fill it, otherwise the taste will be even more uncomfortable. ”

After speaking, Zuo Lanshan took out a piece of peach cake again.

Seeing Zuo Lanshan's performance like this, Bao Wenjie finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore and accused: "Elder Zuoge, I don't think you're sick at all!" You just deliberately delayed the trip for Zhao Junchen! What you have done these days, when I return to the capital, I will definitely impeach you to Your Majesty! ”

Hearing Bao Wenjie's threat, Zuo Lanshan was unimpressed.

These days, there have been countless officials in the imperial court who have impeached him, and it doesn't matter if there is one more Bao Wenjie.

Zuo Lanshan just took a sip of tea slowly, and said slowly: "This pavilion is indeed unwell...... But if you can delay some time because of this, it would not be a good thing to let Lord Zhao stay in Huamachi Camp for a few more days! ”

Bao Wenjie was slightly stunned, and then said with a gloomy expression: "So, Zuo Ge Lao, do you admit that you are deliberately delaying?" ”

Zuo Lanshan sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed to the ranks of the people on the official road not far away, and said: "Lord Bao, look at these people, after seeing them, I thought that they were all victims of the famine, but in fact, they were also the victims of the famine!" But now, they appeared here, not to escape the famine, but Lord Zhao and he found a place to settle these homeless victims! ”

"Where to settle? Where is it settled? Bao Wenjie was stunned again and asked.

Zuo Lanshan slowly explained: "The resettlement place of the people who fled the famine is naturally a field where crops can be planted!" The land in the northwestern provinces is barren, and after years of natural disasters, it is no longer able to support tens of millions of people, even if the imperial court provides relief for a while, but it can't continue to help, if this situation continues, after all, it is not a way, sooner or later there will be chaos!

I have already asked the leader of this people's team just now, and I learned that this people's team will appear here, all because of Lord Zhao's painstaking arrangement!

In the past few days, in order to settle these homeless people fleeing the famine, Lord Zhao has also taken great pains and tried countless methods, and finally found a feasible solution!

He contacted many powerful trading houses, but he sold favors and said good things regardless of his status, and finally persuaded these trading houses to spend a large sum of money to buy the abandoned fields in the provinces, and these victims were hired as tenants to work hard to reclaim these wastelands! In this way, the victims finally found a way to live!

And these people in front of you are rushing to the north of Zhili to reclaim the wasteland! Look at these people, all of them are fleeing the famine, but there is no despair on the faces of all of them, which is exactly why Lord Zhao gave them hope for survival! ”

In fact, these people are all tenants of Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen did not rely on the power of other commercial houses when he settled these people, and he had already prepared a large amount of land in advance, so Zuo Lanshan's explanation is also half-true.

Zuo Lanshan did not deliberately fabricate facts, and the explanation he got from Zhang Cheng was like this, and this explanation was naturally to cover up the facts and prevent people with ulterior motives from using this incident to accuse Zhao Junchen of buying the hearts of the people.

After a pause, Zuo Lanshan said again: "There are more than 40,000 people in front of us, but they are still only a small part of the victims in the northwest provinces, and there are still countless people displaced and homeless in the northwest provinces!" They are all waiting for Lord Zhao to find a way to settle down! Therefore, if we arrive at Huamachi Camp one day late, Lord Zhao will be able to contribute more to the victims, and there will be more people who will find a way to live!

Master Bao, you also know Lord Zhao's methods, this kind of thing can only be done by Lord Zhao! If Lord Zhao had left the Huamachi camp too early, I don't know how many victims would have lost their lives...... In that case, why did we rush to Huamachi Camp so early? Could it be that they can't see these victims find a way to live? ”

On the other hand, after hearing Zuo Lanshan's explanation, Bao Wenjie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and also felt that Zhao Junchen's actions were indeed well-intentioned, and he also found another way to solve the hidden dangers of the displaced people, which was not only the blessing of the people, but also the blessing of the imperial court, and he couldn't help but admire.

After seeing the change in Bao Wenjie's expression, Zuo Lanshan knew that he had already pinched this person, and said: "Lord Bao, you are also a clear-eyed person, so naturally you understand the reason why His Majesty urgently summoned Lord Zhao back to Beijing!" It's nothing more than that Lord Zhao's limelight is too strong and his merits are too high, so His Majesty doesn't want Lord Zhao to gain more military merits...... But Lord Bao, you have always boasted of loving the people, can you bear to cut off the livelihood of the victims just for such a sake? ”

Bao Wenjie originally came to question Zuo Lanshan, but now he was questioned by Zuo Lanshan.

After hearing Zuo Lanshan's questioning, Bao Wenjie's face changed for a long time, and finally sighed lightly, no longer urging Zuo Lanshan to hurry as soon as possible, but said: "Elder Zuo Ge, the holy will is hard to violate, after you recover from abdominal pain this time, you can't get sick again!" Otherwise, if we can't arrive at Huamachi Camp for a long time, Your Majesty is afraid that we will not be able to explain. ”

After speaking, Bao Wenjie turned around and left, but he acquiesced in Zuo Lanshan's decision to delay for three days again.

Seeing Bao Wenjie's performance like this, Zuo Lanshan's expression moved, thinking that Zhao Junchen's evaluation of Bao Wenjie had always been not low, but he opened his mouth and called: "Lord Bao, wait a minute, and then listen to this pavilion." ”

Bao Wenjie paused, turned to look at Zuo Lanshan with a puzzled expression, and didn't understand what Zuo Lanshan had to say.

Zuo Lanshan took a deep look at Bao Wenjie and said slowly: "In the past few years, Lord Bao has always been an enemy of Lord Zhao in the temple, which is probably due to two reasons, one is that Lord Zhao has a bad reputation and is a corrupt official in the mouth of the world, and the other is that Lord Zhao has a bad relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and you are a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince...... But now, time has changed, and Lord Zhao's reputation as a government and the opposition has gradually reversed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has some meaning that it is difficult to protect......

So, why don't you think about your future position? Although you have been enemies of Lord Zhao many years ago, Lord Zhao has never held a grudge against you, but has always admired your ability and temperament, and called you the only capable official in the clear stream. ”

After speaking, Zuo Lanshan lowered the sedan curtain and didn't say anything more.

On the other side, after hearing Zuo Lanshan's suggestion, Bao Wenjie couldn't help but move his expression.

It stands to reason that Zuo Lanshan's suggestion is to make Bao Wenjie abandon the crown prince Zhu Heyu and turn to Zhao Junchen, Bao Wenjie should obviously be angry and disdainful.

However, Bao Wenjie found that he was indeed moved for a moment.

A few days ago, Bao Wenjie, as the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, rushed to the northwest provinces with Zhao Junchen for disaster relief, and also exposed the conspiracy of the governors of the northwest.

In particular, the scene of Zhao Junchen being welcomed and respected by the people in Nanguan Village has been constantly reviewed in Bao Wenjie's mind these days, so that Bao Wenjie can no longer regard Zhao Junchen as a pure corrupt official and traitor.

What's more, after Zhao Junchen completely annihilated the Mongolian coalition army, such great achievements must go down in history, and it is not too much to say that he is a famous minister in the world.

The most important thing is that the signs of the crown prince being deposed seem to be becoming more and more obvious, and even if Bao Wenjie is the most upright, he has to consider his future position and path.

In the past few days, because of the stiff neck, the neck of the insect is extremely stiff, always tilting its head and squinting at people, turning the neck a little will be painful, the blood supply to the brain is seriously insufficient, and the code word is not efficient.

So, I'm afraid the bugs can't afford to update the big chapters of more than 5,000 words these days, please forgive me.

When the bug lifts the petrification curse, it will compensate everyone with a small outbreak.
