"Master Ding, go slowly!" Qu Xuanjun's voice chased Ding Shikui out of the door.

"Humph!" Ding Shikui stood outside the door and stomped his feet, brushed his sleeves away, and left Liu Xiangke alone in the hall, facing the perfunctory behavior of the Qu family.

"Is Elder Ge really sick?" Liu Xiangke still asked unwillingly.

"How can my father's illness be fake," Qu Xuanjun looked sad.

"Then tomorrow the court will ......," Liu Xiangke wanted to say but stopped.

"Naturally, it's time to take a leave," Qu Xuanjun smiled bitterly.

"Well, in that case, Liu has also taken his leave, please express my greetings to the elder on my behalf, and Liu will also take leave tomorrow," Liu Xiangke hugged his fists casually, but his expression was still solemn.

"Slow down, adults."

"Childe stays, stays."

Sending off the guests, Qu Xuanjun, the eldest son of the Qu family, came to the study to reply, he hated Tianlang the most, just because he was in the hands of others, he could only swallow this evil breath, and even Qu Shiyun only scolded him for not knowing whether he knew how to advance or retreat, and he deserved to be beaten into a cripple.

He went back to tell Qu Shiyun what he had just talked about when he met the guest, and after hearing his son's narration, Qu Shiyun nodded and motioned for his son to step down.

Qu Xuanjun didn't plan to leave, hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Why did the lord close the door and hide from his allies?" ”

Qu Shiyun said frankly: "Hey, you can't do anything! ”

Qu Xuanjun said again: "Today, Yang Zhong, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was promoted to the secretary of Dali Temple, and Yuan Pengnian was also promoted to the secretary of the criminal department. And you're going to call it sick. The child didn't understand. ”

Qu Shiyun was dressed in regular clothes, sat on the study chair, looked at Qu Renjie with deep eyes, and said, "Do you really think that today's court meeting is a victory for your father?" ”

Qu Xuanjun replied: "Even if it's not a complete victory, it's not a failure?" ”

"So in your opinion, as long as you become a father tomorrow, as soon as you go to court, the position of the first assistant will be at your fingertips?"

Qu Xuanjun suddenly realized: "My lord, is this retreating as advancing? It can be seen that Jinshang does not want to hand over the position of first assistant to the adult, and at this time, the government of the court and the central government is in a state of failure. A large number of civilian officials were discouraged by the threat of Zilharang's southern expedition, and some even chose to defect to the enemy. So much so that Imakami seized the handle and dismissed a large number of these people or imprisoned.

At the beginning of the first year of Yongli, Ding Kuichu committed treason, and He Tengjiao died in battle at the beginning of this year. If the adult chooses to call the illness at this time, he will inevitably lose his arm today, and the government will definitely fall into chaos. ”

Qu Shiyun stroked his beard and said: "The children can be taught, it is not easy to see this, it is much better than Ding Shikui and Liu Xiangke's two wastes." Today, Ding Shikui didn't say a word in the court, and even had the face to ask why the pavilion didn't help him ask for an official.

Liu Xiangke is not much better than him, but he still has a trace of extravagant hopes for the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Yang Zhong and Yuan Pengnian are even more unbearable, they didn't come to the house today to thank the old man for his recommendation, and they still won't be tomorrow, and they will never be in the future. ”

Qu Xuanjun also asked angrily: "Could it be that Yang Zhong and Yuan Pengnian are really honey-mouthed swords, with a compassionate face and a black heart?" ”

"What's more, I'm afraid they are already leaning on the royal wings at this time, especially that Yang Zhong, who directly mentioned his name before the old man came to promote."

Qu Xuanjun exclaimed: "My lord is saying that in today's court meeting, in fact, the emperor did not back down at all, but completely calculated the adults?" ”

Qu Shiyun said angrily: "Yes, the old man was calculated by him again, you are also twenty-six years old, and you are also twenty-six years old today, you were called a prodigy by the township party when you were about five years old, and you have already been the first young talent of the Ming Dynasty when you were weak and crowned, and my son's talent, even my father is very proud."

But now, after escaping from Wugang back to Guangxi, it is more like being reborn, in the face of the Qing army's three pressures, not only did he not flee again, but also three personal expeditions, and three battles and three victories.

The heavy generals in the army did just right; The exclusion of the Chinese courtiers is even more murderous, and many veteran officials have been dismissed or imprisoned before they suddenly realize that their every move is actually completely under the control of this young man.

Even the old man failed to take advantage of him in several confrontations with him, and was deprived of the position of first assistant, so naturally he had nothing to say. But seeing that the Ming Dynasty is about to produce a one-man thief, how can the old man sit idly by? The Han family has been governed by monarchs and ministers since ancient times, and he dared to risk the disapproval of the world, and he didn't even want the head of the cabinet. So what do you need the ministers to do? It would be nice for him to sing a one-man show by himself!

Even if it is not for the sake of the people, but just for the political pattern created by the scholars and doctors for thousands of years, even if the old man is broken, he will not hesitate to do it. Nor can tyranny be allowed to ravage this already broken again

Mountains and rivers up. ”

Qu Xuanjun bowed respectfully to his father and said: "My father has the world in his heart, he does not bend his will to greet him, he is upright, and he is admired by the child. Today, he has attacked the scholars, divided the land, and bought people's hearts, and abandoned the use of literature to control military force since the opening of the Ming Dynasty.

He did not promote the royal road, did not value the virtuous, acted arbitrarily, employed people as relatives, and used anti-thieves, which disrupted the dynasty. If even the adults can't stop him, I'm afraid no one can stop him, then the Han family's country will eventually fall into the hands of the Tartars, and there will be no catastrophe from now on! ”

It's just that the dialogue and judgment of this father and son will never resonate with Tianlang's family, coming back from Duxiufeng, Qianqian casually chatted with Tianlang about state affairs, Tianlang's military affairs have been numerous recently, and it is rare to have leisure, in order to make all the preparations as far as possible in the front, Qianqian is also racing against time.

After all, it is said that it is a confrontation with the Qing Dynasty across the river, but the Ming Dynasty has actually reached the most critical node between the rise and fall.

"Tianlang, our military salary is 300,000 taels, but Qu Shiyun only gives us 150,000 taels, so you acquiesced in this matter?"

"Of course I can't acquiesce, I just grabbed the 150,000 taels in my hands first, and then bargained with them for the other half."

"Do you still have the bargaining skills?"

"My capital is a cheeky face, your husband and I do business, and we never take the capital."

Qianqianguan'er, "That's right, you didn't make Hou Xing's own business, Hua Shuoliu said it into your own, he became your long-term worker, and he is still singing praises for you." But I have a weight that can make you more confident when you bargain with Qu Shiyun for another 150,000 taels of military salary, do you want it? ”
