Will he be the director of the newly established patent department of the Ministry of Industry?

Tian Xiu's entire mind was occupied by this news. She didn't pay attention to what Chang Xiu said next, but kept thinking about what kind of impact this sudden opportunity would have on her. Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't even remember how she said goodbye to Chang Xiu, so she returned to the office where she and Yang Heng worked together. It wasn't until she saw the stacks of applications for coke patent authorization on the table that she remembered that she had forgotten to take the opportunity to bring this matter up to Wen Shigong......

Now, there are more people waiting to see her in the chamber of the princess. During the time she went to see Chang Xiu, two or three more groups of people came to look for her. More than a dozen officials dressed in green and green were crowded into the small wing, some bowed their heads in contemplation, some turned over the documents and files in their hands, none of them spoke much, and the atmosphere looked a little weird.

Tian Xiu is completely able to understand the mood and thoughts of these people. The forthcoming Patent Division is a new entrance; Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, so under the patent department, there must be a series of Cao, Branch, and Room, and these people are here for these Caoke. In their eyes, this is probably their chance for advancement.

Most of these people came to her for some small things as big as sesame mung beans. There are also a few people who are not here to talk about business at all, just to show up in front of her to deepen their impression, and by the way, they euphemistically said that if everyone works together in the future, they will definitely look at Lord Yang Heng Yang and her Lord Tian Xiutian. It seems that these people have presumably already confirmed that they will have a place in the Patent Division.

It wasn't until the early afternoon that Tian Xiu finally managed to deal with these colleagues who were thinking about each other.

She ate a bowl of noodles in the large room of the Ministry of Works, and hurried back to deal with the backlog of official documents. In the afternoon, maybe how many people will come to her to "ask for advice", and she has to take advantage of this free time in the afternoon to hurry up and get more busy.

However, her mind could not be calmed down in any way. There were so many people who came to her just now that they made people a little suspicious. Especially among the people who came, there were two Jinshi Zhengqipin and Congqipin, and they would actually come to see her in the name of asking for advice, which inevitably made people even more suspicious. Could it be that this patent division does not only dispose of matters related to liquor glass, but also has other jurisdictions? That doesn't seem to make sense.

She held the dossier in her hand and looked at the almond tree in the courtyard. It is late autumn, and the leaves of the apricot tree have already withered and yellowed, hanging listlessly on the branches, and even if there is no wind, the leaves will fall from time to time. In the opposite corridor, a few handymen were running around with a ladder holding a thick cotton curtain, and were hanging cotton curtains next to the house. In two days, it will be the beginning of winter. A cold winter is just around the corner......

A handyman lightly carried the copper kettle in and replaced the tea soup that had been cold.

She stood up, poured herself a bowl of tea and soup, didn't drink it, just held it in her hand, and while warming her hands, she stared at the official document in front of her in a daze.

Someone else came in, but she ignored it. The office space of the various yamen in the imperial city was very tight, and the Ministry of Industry was no exception. At present, in the small courtyard of their office, there are a few Cao Ke from the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry and the Dushui Division. Many officials who come from other places to do things do not know the details, and they often run around with their heads bored.

The person who came in took advantage of her distraction, quietly walked to her side, and suddenly slapped her lightly on the shoulder, so frightened that her hand shook violently! If she hadn't reacted quickly and stabilized quickly, a cup of tea would have either been poured onto the official document or poured on herself. Even so, she was flustered for a while, and a few drops of hot tea were splashed on her hands.

Chen Pu was glad that her prank had succeeded, she dragged a drum stool, sat down at the table, and watched Tian Xiu scurry with a smile.

Tian Xiu went out to find the handyman and asked for hot water to wash her hands, and when she came back, she poured a cup of tea and soup for Chen Pu, and asked her, "When did you come back?" ”

Chen Pu took a sip of hot tea soup and said, "Yesterday evening." ”

"Coming back for a meeting again?" Tian Xiu asked. She knew that Chen Pu, the general of the Zhuguo, was quite nominal, except for some inconsequential meetings, Chen Pu usually didn't bother to ask about many things in the military.

"It's a meeting." Chen Pu said. After a pause, she added, "It's not a meeting either." One by one, I came back to quarrel. ”

"Quarrel?!" Tian Xiu was taken aback. Chen Pu made a special trip from the Gyeonggi camp to quarrel, and it seems that someone really provoked her! However, looking at Chen Pu's nonchalant smile, she felt that Chen Pu didn't seem to be really angry. "Who do you quarrel with? How did you quarrel? ”

Chen Pu squinted his eyes and laughed: "Hehe...... quarreled with Gu Poyang. ”

Poyang Hou Gushi? Tian Xiu's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at her friend in disbelief: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It's not a big deal. Here's the thing, a month or two ago, around the end of July......"

In order to save time, the Ministry of War handed over this fee to the Liyuan battalion, and asked the Liyuan battalion to transfer a part of the weapons from the weapons inventory to Qingzhou to command the yamen. Because the loan was paid in four installments, the cost of the weapons delivered by the military headquarters to the Liyuan battalion was not paid in one go. As a result, something went wrong. I don't know what the reason is, from the end of July to the middle of August, the military department transferred four successive sums of money to the Liyuan camp without clearly indicating the purpose, so the Liyuan camp very unceremoniously embezzled these four sums of money and grain totaling 217,300 yuan. Since Shangjing and Qingzhou were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles from each other, there must have been a process of transshipment and delivery of ordnance, so the Qingzhou side did not become aware of this situation until early September. The angry Qingzhou command Yamen failed to coordinate with the Liyuan battalion, so he stabbed the matter to the military department, hoping that the military department could make the decision for himself. But the Qingzhou command yamen is far away in the sky, but the Liyuan battalion is close at hand, and the Qingzhou command yamen is congenitally insufficient to fight a lawsuit in the military department. In order to seek justice, Qingzhou commanded Yan Xuan to move out of Poyang Hou Gushi. Yan Xuan is Gu Shi's confidant, how can Gu Shi sit back and watch Yan Xuan suffer? What's more, Gu Shi is also one of the main initiators of the Dongwei strategy, and is the major shareholder of the Dongwei loan, and the success or failure of the Dongwei strategy is closely related to the rise and fall of the Poyang Gu clan......

Tian Xiu opened her mouth in surprise and listened to Chen Pu finish the story. These people in the Liyuan camp are really amazing, they don't greet a single one, and the 200,000 yuan of money and grain is misappropriated, if they are replaced by local civil officials, no one will have such courage; This kind of bold and reckless thing may not even be dared to do by the prime ministers...... After a while, she ate Ai Ai and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, right?" ”

"Nope!" Chen Pu shook his head. "It was only yesterday that I received the Ministry of War and found out that there was such a thing. I only heard about the specific situation after I arrived at the military headquarters today. ”

"It's nothing to do with you, so what are you still messing around in?" Tian Xiu said anxiously.

"What's the matter? I am the deputy head of the Liyuan battalion, and I am the deputy commander of the army, and the affairs of the Liyuan battalion are naturally my business. What's more, this matter was done by Shangguan Rui, and I, as his deputy, of course I have to be in trouble! ”

Tian Xiu didn't know what to say to Chen Pu. She twisted her head to the side in anger, not wanting to deal with Chen Pu.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry." Chen Pu didn't care much about Tian Xiu's attitude. She said firmly, "Anyway, it's just going around and arguing." No matter how capable Gu Poyang is, it is impossible to teach others to eat the meat in his stomach and spit it out, right? She said to Tian Xiu with a grin, "I don't understand the affairs between the military and the military. The affairs of military affairs are very different from the affairs of your civilian affairs. One by one, that's pretty much what it means. She said so, but in fact, she didn't quite understand the truth herself. She only understood a little thing from the words and words of Gu Poyang and Shangguan Rui when she was arguing in the military department in the morning, and she still needed to come down and slowly experience it. It's a pity that her sister Nanyang is not in the capital during this time, otherwise, she can also ask her sister to help with a detailed look. What's worse is that this meeting has nothing to do with Shang Zida, so Shang Cheng didn't come at all. If that guy had been there, he would have been able to tell more truth. That guy has a lot of skills in handling military affairs......

Chen Pu was thinking wildly, so he heard Tian Xiu ask her: "Uncle Ying also came to the meeting of the military department today, right?" ”

"He didn't come."

“…… Oh. ”

"You're looking for him?"

"Something." Tian Xiu nodded and said, "We still don't know how to make the celestial observatory he said, and we want to ask him for advice again." Again," she paused before continuing, "last time, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he helped me so much...... I haven't thanked him yet. I'd like to treat him to a meal and say thank you. ”

Hearing Tian Xiu mention the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Pu's face was a little uncomfortable. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tian Xiu was humiliated with words at the Yellow Lantern Temple, and happened to be bumped into by Shang Cheng. Shang Cheng was furious and arrested those scholars and literati and imprisoned them in the Xiyue Temple Military Department Prison. Those few scholars all have some backgrounds, and their relatives and friends have asked many people to help deliver the message; Chen Pu and her sister Nanyang also went to Shang Cheng under the central notice of these people. Later, Shang Cheng was relieved, and those scholars were also released. But after these people came out, they immediately changed from a wagging tail begging dog to a barking mad dog, belittled Shang Cheng as useless, and arranged a lot of things out of nothing to maliciously slander Shang Cheng, and some rumors even involved Tian Xiu...... Now, Tian Xiu mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival and also mentioned Shangcheng, which inevitably made Chen Pu a little ashamed. She realized that in this matter, she and her sister, as well as Chang Xiu and Zhu Xuan, everyone did wrong.

She blushed and said to Tian Xiu: "Or, I'll accompany you to find him another day?" ”

"How's it going to be the day after tomorrow?" Tian Xiu said, "I just made an appointment with the people from the Taishi Bureau, and the day after tomorrow I went to Shang Ying Bodenmen for advice." Why don't we go together the day after tomorrow? ”

"Okay, that's it."

The two of them spoke again. Seeing that the lunch break was about to pass, Tian Xiu sent Chen Pu out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Outside the yamen, the two made an appointment to visit Li Mu together in the evening. Their teacher has just brought their family members to the capital, and they have never visited them, so they just made up for this gift today.

Before leaving, Chen Pu advised: "You just wait for me in the yamen." I'll come to you when my meeting is over......" She suddenly stopped talking and muttered as she stared into the distance, "Hell yes! Why is this guy here too? ”

As soon as Tian Xiu turned his head, he saw Shang Cheng coming along the Heavenly Street.

Shang Cheng also saw the two of them.

When Shang Cheng approached, Chen Pu asked him, "Why are you here too?" It's none of your business, is it? ”

Shang Cheng grinned and asked, "What's the matter with me?" I only heard about it outside the door. He smiled at Chen Pu and said, "Zhen Xiang praised you a few times just now. You've grown, and you know where your ass should sit! ”

That's just vulgar. Chen Pu and Tian Xiu both blushed suddenly. Shang Cheng himself didn't notice it, and asked again, "What are you two standing here?" ”

Chen Pu didn't take his words and asked him: "What do you think about this?" ”

"Misappropriation is misappropriation, what is there not to see? Gu Poyang doesn't really want you to spit out that little bit of money and food. He just wanted to quarrel with it. He also had to quarrel with this one. For him, it doesn't matter what the result is, what matters is that he has to express his attitude and position clearly. ”

Chen Pu nodded thoughtfully. Judging from the situation of the morning meeting, it seems that things are what Shang Cheng said. Although Gu Shi kept saying that the 200,000 yuan of money and grain must be replenished, his goal has always been to target the Liyuan camp, and he did not mention specific people, nor did he say who would be held responsible, let alone where the money and grain went. Thinking about coming to Gu Poyang, he is also avoiding the Jiazhou camp. After all, everyone knows that this money and grain was finally sent to Jiazhou Xingying, and no matter how capable Gu Shi is, he doesn't dare to find Jiazhou Xingying at this time. Otherwise, if there are three longs and two shorts in the war in the southwest in the future, just come out and say it personally, at the beginning, Gu Shi forced the Jiazhou camp to jump up and down for a little money and food, and as a result, the morale of the army was shaken and the war was affected, and the imperial court might push him out as a shield......

Tian Xiu said to Shang Cheng: "Uncle Ying, when are you free, I want to invite you to a meal." I haven't thanked you for helping me last time......"

"Eat? No need. Sesame point big thing, what's not to thank ......"

Chen Pu interjected on the side and said, "Since it's not a matter of money and grain for Qingzhou, what are you doing in the city?" ”

Shang Cheng smiled and said, "It is estimated that he is here to be punished." He glanced left and right. He and Chen Pu are both in the red robes of the third-grade military attachés, standing at the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and talking, as dazzling as they want. The officials who worked in the Ministry of Industry walked around them carefully. Shang Cheng saw that there was no one near Zuo, so he smacked his lips and said, "When I fought against Tu Ji Ci last year, I asked people to contact the Da Tengliang Department and the Wan Nu Er Department of Tu Ji Ci, and exchanged tea, grain, and pig iron for their war horses, cattle and sheep. I asked them to agree that when we fought the king of Donglu Valley, they would just wait and see and not send troops to help. In order to prevent the king of Donglu Valley from cleaning up the disobedient Da Tengliang Department and the Wannuer Department and reorganizing the left wing of Tu Duci, this matter of exchanging grain and iron for war horses has not stopped until now. Now something happened. Zhu Xu stabbed this matter to the Imperial Historical Observatory, and both the East and West Platforms were holding back their strength to clean me up......"

Chen Pu and Tian Xiu were both taken aback. Tian Xiu is because of Shang Cheng's boldness; Give grain and pig iron to Turgitz, and call it a "capital enemy" at the slightest point, and say that the point is "betraying the country"! She glared at Shang Cheng hatefully. If Shang Cheng hadn't helped her not long ago, she might have said something ugly on the spot. But she immediately remembered some of the things Chen Pu had said to her. If she remembered correctly, the 40,000 Yanshan army led by Shang Cheng was fighting against 100,000 Turquoise people. From this point of view, it should be understandable that Shang Cheng funded the two tribes of Tuqi in exchange for their sidly by and neutral, right?

As the general of the Zhuguo, Chen Pu can understand Shang Cheng's approach, compared with the big destruction of Blackwater City, what is that bit of grain and pig iron! She was just very worried about what would happen to Shang Cheng after this matter was revealed. The ones that can alarm the east and west of the Yushitai are all big and serious cases, and there are very few people who can come out of such cases...... She nervously wondered who she could find to help and intercede at this time. Among the people she is familiar with, almost no one can have a connection with the two stations; Occasionally, one or two people she knew and could speak in front of the big Sikong, and she didn't move. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind fiercely: "You don't worry! I'll go to my father. With my father to speak, even if there is a punishment, it can't be too heavy! ”

Shang Cheng looked at her in amazement. He didn't even finish speaking, why did Chen Pu go and drag her father out? He grabbed Chen Pu, who wanted to move the rescuers: "What are you anxious about, wait for me to finish talking first!" ”

"The knife holder is on the neck, what else is there to say? Don't worry, with my father here, I will never let you suffer a big loss! ”

Shang Cheng couldn't laugh or cry. Chen Pu didn't understand what kind of relationship her father had with the ministers. In this matter, if Emperor Dongyuan did not come forward, he would definitely not suffer a big loss; But if Chen Pu and her father come forward, it is estimated that they will not be able to suffer a big loss. But he couldn't say this to Chen Pu, so he had to change to a more credible statement: "Don't go to your father!" One by one, I mean don't go to your father. He glared at the two officials who were sneaking around at the entrance of the yamen, and frightened the two of them to trot away, and then said, "This thing should not be directly aimed at me." Or rather, not directly at me......"

"Who is that for?"

"Zhang Shao!"

Chen Pu understood at once. For a period of time, there have been rumors that the Admiral of Yanshan is going to be replaced, among which Zhang Shao of the Yanshan Guard Mansion has the highest voice. Zhang Shao's qualifications are very deep, and his military exploits are also brilliant, except that the title of Sipin is not dazzling enough, and he is not inferior to many veterans in other aspects, so many people regard him as the natural candidate for the next governor of Yanshan. Since Zhang Shao is going to go, then the current Yanshan Admiral Zhuxu must come down. But Zhu Xu has been a bare-pole admiral in Yanshan for less than ten months, and he came back in a gloomy manner, can he bear this breath? He left Yanshan to settle down, but this does not mean that Zhang Shao will definitely be able to take over. At this time, Zhu Xu poked out the matter of Yan Shanwei's private sale of grain and pig iron, and a discerning person could understand at a glance that this was not aimed at Shang Cheng and Shang Cheng had left Yanshan for almost a year; If calculated according to the time of resignation, Yan Shanwei has not yet done business with the two Tu Tu tribes, and Shang Chengcheng is no longer the governor of Yan Shan. The preface is aimed at Zhang Shao. Zhang Shao even did the betrayal of the enemy, how dare such a person let him be the governor of Yanshan? As for Zhang Shao's fate, don't think about it, it will definitely not be better. Of course, Zhu Xuan himself cannot escape the responsibility of "negligence". But even if he bears the responsibility of "negligence", what can he do? Anyway, if he loses the position of Admiral of Yanshan this time, it is impossible for the Prime Minister to deal with him harshly; His road in the military has come to an end, and whether it is good or bad can only be a person who goes home with a false title of Shangzhu Country, and what can he do if he is responsible or not?

Chen Pu was thinking about it, and suddenly asked Shang Chengdao in surprise: "Looking at it this way, Zhuxu wants to have a lose-lose relationship with Zhang Shao." One by one, no, it's not a lose-lose situation. However, if he wants to clean up Zhang Shao, then clean up Zhang Shao, why should he involve you? ”

Shang Chang sighed and said helplessly: "Do you think this is the idea that Zhu Xuan came up with by himself?" ”

"If it's not Zhuxu, who else can it be?"

Shang Cheng was reluctant to speak. Is it still necessary to ask such an obvious answer? He turned his head and asked Tian Xiu, "Where are you going to have a treat?" ”

"Ah......h

"You said you invited me to dinner, where did I eat? First of all, I guess I'll have to be grounded for a few months this time, so if you want to invite me to dinner, you have to hurry. Why not tonight? Maybe I'll have to rush back tomorrow and think about it behind closed doors. ”

“…… Did you really give grain and pig iron to the Turks? Tian Xiu stared at Shang Cheng and asked.

Shang Cheng smacked his lips, not knowing how to explain. The whole incident is not as Tian Xiu said, he gave grain and pig iron to the other party. There are many things in politics and military affairs that cannot be distinguished simply by friend or foe. In a specific environment, even life and death enemies who do not share the same heaven can unite and work together to achieve a common goal. Just like him and the Da Tengliang Department and the Wannuer Department, under the circumstances at that time, their enemy was the king of Donglu Valley. He wanted to defeat or even eliminate the main left-wing force of the Tu Du Ci of the King of Donglu Valley, and then improve the strategic situation on the northern border of Yanshanwei and Da Zhao, while the Da Teng Liang Department and the Wannuer Department, on the one hand, hoped to obtain the much-needed winter food from Da Zhao, and on the other hand, they hoped that the strength of the core tribe represented by the King of Donglu Valley would be weakened and faded, so as to obtain a more advantageous position for themselves in the grassland. It is precisely because both sides have each other's needs that they hit it off.

He looked at Tian Xiu with some distress. It seems that there must be many people who have the same idea as Tian Xiu. But he can't explain to them every time he meets such a person, even if he explains it, others may not believe it......

Chen Pu suddenly clapped his hands and said, "You mean, this is Yan Gu's idea for Zhu Xu?" ”

Shang Cheng nodded. He swallowed and didn't want to say anything. Do you have to think about this for so long? Obviously, if Zhu Xu could come up with such a clever idea, would he still be angry with Zhang Shao and them?

Chen Pu immediately asked another question: "I know that you don't deal with Yan Gu. However, didn't you always keep the river water from the well, and why did he think of harming you again? ”

The question is naïve. However, just as Chen Pu heard that he was in trouble just now, he immediately went to her father to help intercede without hesitation, and his words were full of sincere concern. Shang Cheng was a little moved, and said: "If you don't have a chance, of course, the river water will not interfere with the well water." But now that the opportunity has come, if he doesn't make a stumbling block for me again, then he won't be Yan Baisheng. Anyway, if you want to pick up the grass, you might as well beat the rabbit by the way. ”

Shang Cheng's image metaphor made Chen Pu and Tian Xiu couldn't help laughing.

Because Shang Cheng has been speaking in a relatively relaxed tone, this makes Chen Pu's heart hanging high gradually fall. She also followed Shang Cheng's tone and joked: "I think, anyway, he can't kill the rabbit, so it's better not to fight." What if the grass startles the snake? What's more, even if it's a rabbit, it's still going to bite when it's in a hurry. ”

Shang Cheng laughed and said, "How can Yan Baisheng be as unbearable as you say? The timing of this cuddling of the grass and the rabbit was just right. ”

Chen Pu never felt that his mind was as inadequate as it was now. In her opinion, it is understandable that Yan Gu took the opportunity to challenge Zhang Shao when it was difficult for Zhu Xuan to keep the governor of Yanshan. After all, it was Zhang Shao who did the errand first, and he was grabbed by the tail by others, and he can only blame Zhang Shao for himself, at least he was not careful enough, right? But at the same time, she felt that the idea of being strict was a bit of a stretch. Fight Zhang Shao to fight Zhang Shao, why bother to provoke Shang Cheng again? Killing two birds with one stone sounds great, but making enemies on multiple sides is not a good idea. Now listening to Shang Cheng's praise of Yan Gu's grasp of the timing is about to be good, Deng Shi was a little unconvinced, so he asked: "What's just right?" ”

"What month is it? What solar terms? ”

That's a baffling question. Chen Pu hesitated before saying, "At the end of September, it will be the beginning of winter when I speak." ”

"Yes, it's about to start winter. After the beginning of winter, the north wind gradually rose, and after a while, when the wind was blowing, Duan Si and they should have news. ”

Chen Pu opened his mouth, completely unaware of what Shang Cheng was talking about. She was talking to him about Yan Gu's idea, why did she pull out Duan Si in a blink of an eye? Didn't Duan Si go to conquer the Eastern Wa, what connection could he have with Yan Gu's idea?

Shang Cheng had no choice but to continue to explain to her: "As soon as the matter over there in Yanshan is revealed this time, no matter what, I have to stand up and shoulder most of the responsibility, otherwise Zhang Shao's life will be over." The prime ministers are all sensible people, and they must have understood that there must have been my reasons for doing so at that time, so there could be no punishment that was too heavy. However, it is always wrong to sell grain and pig iron to the Turks, even to the steppe tribes who are not of the same mind as the Turks. Now that the matter has been stabbed to the Yushitai, it can't be hidden, and people can only come out and take responsibility. I carry the big head, Zhang Shao carries the small head, and the two of them are punished at the same time, so it is impossible for this punishment to be too heavy, and it can also calm down the turbulent discussions between the court and the people a little. Speaking of this, he stopped talking and looked at Chen Pu. You should get the idea, right?

Chen Pu furrowed his brows, thinking hard about Shang Cheng's words. She still didn't understand anything. Tian Xiu next to her vaguely heard some meaning. But she only tasted some tastes, and it was far from explaining the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"Still don't understand? I carry the big head, this time the punishment must not be light, the punishment and the ban are certain, and the false titles such as the squire of the military department and the deputy commander of the Plains General's Mansion will definitely be removed; The title may not be reduced, but the closure will definitely be reduced; Whether or not you can continue to be a pillar country depends on the faces and moods of others. One by one, this is a solid opportunity! If there is no news of Duan Si all winter, it means that his army has lost all the way, and Yan Gu is about to fall into the ground, take away my title and cut off my title, from now on I will be a flat-headed common man, whether I can be a rich man or not depends on whether Yan Baisheng has any intention of killing me. Shang Cheng said with a smile.

Of course, Chen Pu knew that he was joking. Even if things reach the worst point of irreparability, it is impossible for the Prime Minister's Mansion to watch Yan Gu poison Shang Cheng. She glared at Shang Cheng hatefully, looked at what kind of frustrating words you said, and asked bluntly, "What if Duan Si wins?" ”

"If Duan Si wins, then he will punish me even more now."

"What do you mean?"

Shang Cheng smiled bitterly twice and said: "I am now a Shangzhu country, and I am still a county magistrate who is actually sealed, and I have a lot of messy positions on my body, if Duan Si comes back from winning the battle, you say, what should I do as the initiator of the Eastern Widow strategy?" Should I ask the Son of Heaven to give me the bones and then go back to my hometown to write a local chronicle? ”

"Hah!" Chen Pu couldn't help laughing, "You deserve it!" Who gave you credit too early and too much? You should have given me some credit a long time ago. Look, now it's a loss! If you make a meritorious contribution, you won't even have a chance to be rewarded, and you will be forced to punish you first and then reinstate you as a reward. ”

Tian Xiu is also Wan'er, and said: "It seems that whether there is anything about Yanshan or not, Uncle Ying can't escape this punishment." However, the person who came up with the idea should be ahead of the times and premeditated later, right? The gap between her and Yan Gu's status and position is too big, and she is a civil and military career, so she hid Yan Gu's name and kept it secret.

Shang Cheng just smiled and did not respond to Tian Xiu's words.

What he is saying now is the most superficial thing in the idea of Yan Gu. Ever since he heard about the Yanshan incident, he has been very confused, Yan Gu's idea is neither hurtful nor bone-free for him, and even Zhang Shao can't move, Yan Baisheng is overwhelmed and comes up with such a bad idea? What the hell does this guy want to do? You don't just want to feed him and Zhang Shao a fly, right? It's Chen Pu's sentence, if you just want to make him feel tired, it will be a bit shocking. However, he really couldn't figure out what Yan Gu's idea was......

Because Shang Cheng was likely to be punished immediately, Tian Xiu discussed it with Chen Pu, changed his mind temporarily, and did not rush to visit Li Mu for the time being, and invited Shang Cheng to dinner tonight.

Shang Cheng readily agreed.

The three of them agreed to meet at the Ministry of Industry when they went down, and then they talked about where to eat.
