Chapter Eighty-Three: The Man in the Mist

In the early dynasty, the weather was a little stuffy today, and the gloomy rain clouds were entrenched in the sky like a black dragon, which was a day destined to go down in history, but unfortunately everyone in the previous dynasty had not yet realized it. "I feel that more than 30 people such as Shi Yuzhu and Wen Maocai of the Hanlin Academy have been in the office for decades, and they have not committed adultery and crime, but they are innocent, never forming gangs and factions, and harming the innocence of the government and government. What do you think? The sleepy old ministers in the court opened their eyes suddenly, "Your Majesty, no! "The people in the Hanlin Academy, who have never participated in the affairs of the DPRK and China for so many years, are not suitable for these confidential official positions." "These people have a withdrawn and eccentric personality, and they can't be kind to others, and they coordinate their errands well, so please think twice about your majesty."

"I read the book they repaired, and it was very good, and many dictionaries were well-founded and sonorous. I think that such a document is worthy of the demeanor of a great country, why? Can't you get into the eyes of your Aiqing? "Revising books and periodicals is the duty of these Hanlin, and there is nothing to show off." "Where the responsibility is, to be able to do it well, is what I ask of you, do you really think that you are doing a good job?" "Your Majesty, dare to ask you that there is no one in the Hanlin Academy, who will do the book repair?" "I have recently received several letters from old ministers, all of whom say that they are too old to adapt to leaving Gyeonggi, and I also consider that they have worked hard for the country for many years, so I still call them back.

This was a very important signal, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy were appointed as officials of the six departments, and the relatives and friends of those lords were assigned to revise the books. In fact, most of the heirs to the title are also feared by the emperor, and their power is too great, and they will always be suspected. After Zhaoqian ascended the throne, he did not reward the lords according to the custom, and under normal conditions, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he had to win over this kind of family that had taken root in Gyeonggi for hundreds or even thousands of years. Their ancestors had merit many years ago, both deep and shallow, leaving hereditary titles for the family, and these lords colluded with each other. The concubines inherited the title and accepted the reward as officials, and the concubines had to find another way, either to go out to do business, or to stay at home as a housekeeper, or to live by looking at the eyes of their brothers and even nephews.

Their good life depends entirely on the mutual protection of the lords, the mansion is prosperous, and it is difficult to maintain without money. Although Chai Zhaoqian broke their wings this time, it was not a pain in the bones for the lord with deep roots, but it was also a discount for the ability to control the major affairs of the court.

After working together for many years, Xu Yuan knew very well that Zhaoqian's move meant that the drunkard did not mean to drink, and it was definitely not simply for the ministers who opposed him, you must know that these ministers would not come up to offend the new emperor for a little petty profit, there must be some kind of force behind them that is controlling all this. What kind of force will it be? Xu Yuan was puzzled, the current Gyeonggi is always surrounded by a layer of fog, and the people in the middle of the fog have a sinister and cunning smile, which is more dangerous than on the battlefield. He stood at the door of Meng Jia's room, leaning against the door frame and looking at Meng Jia, who was sitting steadily and drinking tea: "I said, junior brother, why are you still sitting like this, you never thought about finding an official and a half-position in the imperial court?" "Senior brother, it's useless to be anxious, you see, although it is said that everything is on the right track in the court now, there are still people who are not found, right?" "Who?" "You. Look at you, although you are a big celebrity in front of Your Majesty, but you have not arranged any specific official positions, you are still General Dingxi. "I don't understand what you mean." "I mean, I'm afraid I can't give you the answer to the question you're suffering in your heart right now, if you really want to know, why don't you go find an old fritter and ask?" "You mean Roy?" "There shouldn't be anyone else, right?"

Roy looked at Xu Yuan with a smile, and twisted a jade pendant in his hand repeatedly: "General Xu is a rare guest, how could he think of coming to my little grass nest?" "I came to you to ask you for some advice." "General, please speak, Luo must know everything and say everything." "Why do so many officials stand up against His Majesty's marriage to a civil woman? According to the general truth, His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and he has military power behind him, and the average old minister of the former dynasty will not rashly show his head to oppose His Majesty's decision at this time, there should be no good fruit to eat. ”

"So what? How do I know if they burned out their brains, I won't do this kind of thing anyway, and I don't know what you mean by your words, General Xu. "Luo Shilang, how could you not know?" "What do I know?" "You rushed back from Mongolia in a hurry, and you didn't go to see Your Majesty in the first place." The air around him seemed to freeze, and the two men calmly confronted each other, Roy's hand nervously grasping the corner of his clothes. "Of course, I'm joking with you, at that time, His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne and could only be called His Highness. Look at you, nervous, aren't you? As for me, I don't have any malicious intent, I just don't understand the current situation, so I want to ask you. The hand holding the clothes slowly loosened, and Roy's face softened: "Of course, General Xu's words, Luo must answer truthfully." "Then I'm afraid, this is not the place to speak."

For a few days, the mysterious man just took Tianjiao to live in various villages in Zhili, and he always said that he wanted to accept Tianjiao as an apprentice, but every day he only taught Tianjiao some miscellaneous things and singing skills, and he never mentioned a word. After walking on this land for a long time, he never wanted to stay in one place for a long time, and gradually, the blisters on his feet broke and grown, and his shoes had long been worn out, and he was barefoot, gray-headed, and a little beggar alive. His master valued his puppets very much, and usually put them in a large wooden box when he was not performing. At the beginning of the peace of the world, there were rogue bandits who ran out of the Battle of Handan, who robbed homes and did all kinds of evil. Every time Chu Weimin would accurately miss the flow of soldiers, the two of them were thin and weak, and they couldn't help but feel cold, of course they had to go around them.

"Master, how do you know where there will be rogue soldiers?" In the deep forest, there was only a fire surrounding Tianjiao, giving him warmth, and this kid really couldn't think of how Chu Weimin bypassed those thieves. "It was your Uncle Lu Tong who told me." He took a puppet out of his bosom and said softly. "Who is Uncle Lutong, Master, can you tell me about it?"
