.“ What does it mean to know what you can't do? Your insight is actually not as good as that Zhu Qianhu! You have also heard for a long time, he once defended Shen Shixing in the cabinet, do things, don't ask whether it's worth it or not, but ask whether it should be or not! Destroying embankments and flooding fields, so hurtful to heaven and reason, misleading the country and harming the people, this is also called not to be done? ! For the sake of the selfish interests of one party, you can ignore the millions of lives in Zhejiang, and you can ignore your own future? You still say that you can't be an official, I think you are even more ruthless than those people in them! Nine counties...... "Qian Ning beat his chest and felt remorseful.

Ma Yuan stood there silently with his head bowed for a long time before he whispered: "Students only know how to share worries for adults. ”

Qian Ning pointed at him angrily and was speechless, and finally walked quickly to the big case and sat down heavily: "Destroy the embankment and flood the fields...... Just for the so-called national policy that the imperial court came up with with a pat on the brain, you are so ruthless, looking through the history books, you have never seen it for eternity! also said that he shared his worries for me, this crime will not be able to withstand your nine clans! It is said that I am a good person, why did I use someone like you to be the prefect of Hangzhou and the head of the river......"

"I shouldn't have come out to be an official in the first place!" Ma Yuan knelt heavily on the ground, "But my mother, clumsy Jing and dogs, adults also know that they are all honest countrymen, please protect them!" The tone unexpectedly revealed a resolute taste of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold".

Qian Ning's face suddenly turned blue again, and the eyes that looked at Ma Yuan no longer had the same affection and kindness as before: "I will only ask you once, and I will not ask you a second time: who is behind the destruction of the embankment, who instructed you?!" ”

Ma Yuan kowtowed a few times, and his voice was already a little choked: "My lord, don't ask again...... If I continue to ask, I'm afraid that my Daming will immediately cause chaos in the world! No one can afford this crime...... The embankment was not destroyed, but the subordinates did not repair it last year, and they were greedy for the silver taels allocated from above, which caused this catastrophe! I hope that after the fields are flooded, the national policy of changing rice to mulberry can be implemented smoothly, and the adults will no longer be caught in the middle, and the head of the student will be ......worth it even if it is cut off."

"Don't mention anything about changing rice to mulberry...... What national policy and what implementation? After making money, how much money can get into the treasury? This time, it's not just you, it's not just me...... I don't worry about anything else, this party fights together, and the officials all regard my Ming people as dung and attack each other, in the long run, the country will not be a country, and there will be no peace......" Qian Ning slumped in his chair in a decadent manner, looked at the roof beams with blank eyes, and muttered. He tried his best to maintain a close distance from these local bureaucrats in Zhejiang, just so that one day if there was a big change, he still had room to turn around, and he could keep the peace of Zhejiang's one-third of an acre. The people of Zhejiang can no longer stand the toss, the year before last after the Beijing earthquake in advance of the collection of taxes, has fundamentally shaken the people's hearts, this time these people actually did the destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields, the people do not oppose this year, next year will not rebel, it will be difficult to say in the future...... He is not so much for the people, but for himself, for his own fame before and after his death, so that he will not be overwhelmed in the evening and scolded by the history books for thousands of generations!

I heard that the Japanese in the east of Korea began to run rampant again, and several ethnic minorities in the northwest were also unsettled, and the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period could be described as full of disasters and difficulties, and now Zhejiang, which was originally a stable granary tax area, began to be chaotic again, and Henan in the Central Plains has been in drought...... He is just a political envoy of Zhejiang, he can't control the world, and he doesn't have that energy, but he must not let Zhejiang go down in his own hands! This is also an explanation of his twenty or thirty years of official career, a successful end! Qian Ning's eyes gradually shot a glimmer of light, since those people are so impatient, then the old man will accompany you to fight to the end!

Ma Yuan was stunned by Qian Ning's words, it was not that he couldn't see through it, but that he was too worried about it and had no time to think about it in the long term. Where can he know and figure out these things?

"Your life can't be saved this time, but I will try my best to save your family, you can go...... Remember, from now on, you and your family are under the protection of Zhu Yidao and Zhu Qianhu, and without his direct order, those people will not dare to do anything to you. If you have anything to say, just go and tell him, he is the emperor's favorite minister, there are some things that only he can say to the emperor, no one is suitable......" Qian Ning no longer looked at him, but waved his hand weakly, "Go through the side door!" ”

Ma Yuan knew that this was the last time he would see the teacher, and the last time he would talk to the teacher, he sobbed and respectfully kowtowed to Qian Ning a few times, picked up the package in front of him, and staggered out of the side door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and wanted to say something more to Channing, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not say anything, so he could only leave gloomily.

Outside the side door, several sergeants from the Jingshi Guard made a gesture of invitation to him respectfully, but Ma Yuan could see that there was a murderous aura in the eyes of these people. I heard that in the flood relief a few days ago, they killed several people, but Ma Yuan didn't feel guilty in his heart, we don't even want our own future, what is it if you kill a few people? He still thought so in his heart, but he felt sorry for Qian Ning, the teacher who had worked hard to cultivate him, and when he thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but darken.

"Smack!" The butt of a rifle was heavily struck on his back, and a sergeant suddenly struck him on the back with the modified handle of the three-eyed gun, knocking him to the ground hard.

"Dog officer! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have unjustly killed so many brothers! The sergeant cursed in a low voice, and then grabbed him by the hair and dragged him into the carriage. The little flag who led the team stopped viciously with his eyes: "How to convict him, that's the emperor's business!" If you and I break someone, that's our business! Lord Qianhu has specially explained, be polite to this person, he is still of great use! ”

The sergeant looked at the embarrassed Ma Yuan with anger and spat on the ground.

As soon as He Jinxian walked to the second hall of the political envoy, he was stopped by several expressionless guards of the Beijing Division: "The political envoy is approving the official document, and I ask this lord to wait for a while." ”

He stopped, somewhat reluctantly. Since the destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields, Qian Ning has never had any contact with any of them, but has locked himself up in the political envoy department, and invited the emperor to send people to find Zhu Qianhu, and surround the yamen of the political envoy, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and he is heavily guarded, and it is obvious that he has become extremely vigilant against He Jinxian. This is the real reason that makes Yang Jinshan restless, only when he knows Qian Ning's attitude and what he says, can he know what he plans to do next. Nowadays, this kind of situation where you can't see people in life and can't see corpses in death is the most difficult to grasp.

But after all, the other party is not an ordinary soldier, but the Jingshi Guard, who once made a big show and was the emperor's personal guard, even if he is the envoy of Zhejiang, he can't do anything to the other party, He Jinxian can only suppress the anger in his heart, and sit down on the chair on the side angrily, thinking in his heart: Is it possible that this Qian Ning really plans to oppose himself and the entire Zhejiang officialdom? He is already an old fellow in his sixties, and it is time to move his place and make way for the obedient officials below!

So he had no choice but to put down his body and said to the sergeant with a forced smile: "May I ask if Master Ma Yuanma has ever been here?" ”

"Hui He, my subordinates don't know." The sergeant replied very simply, his face was expressionless and his eyes were also looking at the top of He Jinxian's head, obviously not taking him as a probationary envoy in his eyes.

"Master Ma is the prefect of Hangzhou, he is not working in the Yamen, there are so many things to deal with at the moment, the official just wants to know, is he here?" He Jinxian still asked with a forced smile. If he is a little more polite, then he can submit a letter to the cabinet to impeach Zhu Yidao to govern the army by only admitting himself and not the emperor, and he wants to turn the Jingshi Guard into Zhu's army! With such a serious crime, I'm not afraid that he Zhu Qianhu will be in trouble!

"Hui He, my subordinates don't know Ma. Are you mistaken? The cunning in the corner of the sergeant's eye was fleeting.

He Jinxian almost didn't scold!

At this moment, another sergeant came out of the back room, whispered a few words to the sergeant who was staring at He Jinxian, and looked at He Jinxian again: "Lord He, Lord Bu Political Envoy, please come in and speak." ”

He has already been restless, and he is doing the same as interrogating prisoners, does this Zhu Yidao really want to rebel? Let these vulgar Qiu Ba treat themselves like this! After all, he was also the chief of a province, and now he would be humiliated by others like this, he glared angrily at the sergeant guarding the door, raised his feet and walked quickly.

When he came in, Qian Ning was sitting motionless in front of the big case, looking at some official document, ignoring him. He Jinxian was a little embarrassed, the two of them were officials in the same dynasty and in the same place, but now they are the same as their subordinates, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Liangcai of Jiande Zhi County, who came with him, this guy's level is too low, and the sergeant didn't even look at him when he first came in, and he didn't take this kind of seven-grade petty official in his eyes at all. Zhang Liangcai also knew his weight, but he just lowered his head and followed He Jinxian, and didn't dare to say a word.

After a long time, Qian Ning said coldly without raising his head: "Sit down!" ”

The two of them walked gently to the chair and looked at Qian Ning together, but he still didn't look up, as if he was alone in the room. It's so embarrassing that Zhang Liangcai had to take a look at He Jinxian, what kind of statement is this?

He Jinxian had to cough dryly and said, "I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen...... After hearing this, I immediately went to Yicang and calculated that it was less than 30,000 stones. There are as many as 600,000 people affected by the disaster, and all of them are taken out for disaster relief, which is only enough for them to eat for ten days and a half months...... The top priority was to buy grain, but there was not enough food in the treasury. We have to immediately report to the imperial court and the cabinet and ask the imperial court to allocate food for disaster relief! The grain supported by Guangdong has to be strangled to a fixed amount at a fixed time, and one grain is not willing to be given in advance, so I am afraid it will not be a matter if it goes on like this......"

"What kind of food will be allocated, and what disaster will be reported?" Qian Ning still didn't look up, but just raised his eyes and looked deeply at He Jinxian like a sharp sword.

He said in surprise: "Naturally, it is a natural disaster......

"Is it an act of God?" Qian Ning's sword-like eyes added another kind of banter, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Liangcai. Immediately, Zhang Liangcai felt as if he had seen through his whole body, and he was a little afraid. Over the years, I have met Qian Ning countless times, but there has never been a time when I was so bottomless and so frightened and uneasy as I am now.

He Jinxian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This rainstorm has not been a day or two, the water level of the Xin'an River has risen sharply, and the whole court knows about it!" It's not that we haven't prepared for this kind of thing, it's just that natural disasters are ......."

Seeing that he dared to open his eyes and talk nonsense at such a point now, Qian Ning was a little admired, only this point, he was not as good as this He Jinxian, although this person is a civil official who became a monk halfway, but his ability to brazenly open his eyes and say nonsense is better than that of other civilian officials, it seems that he has used the art of war he learned back then to the officialdom. It's just a pity......

Qian Ning said slowly: "Then you will draft this song according to what you said, right?" As he spoke, there was a hint of disdain in his playful eyes that was no longer hidden.

He Jinxian hurriedly received: "You are the chief official of Zhejiang, I can draft it, but the final decision has to be made by you, and you can lead the performance!" ”

Qian Ning closed the official document in front of him leisurely, and said to the two of them: "What you plan is sparse, you will naturally play it." I just want to remind you that the same river, the same embankment, the same heavy rain, the Baimao River in neighboring provinces, and the Wusong River were all embankments repaired last year. This lie, you'd better be able to tell the circle, if the cabinet asks about the crime, and the emperor asks about it, you He Jinxian can also explain it! ”

He Jinxian and Zhang Liangcai both immediately changed their faces, and they glanced at each other, knowing that Qian Ning was forcing them to have a showdown. This Qian Ning, why didn't he usually know that he still had this tongue and this distraction? obviously wanted to know what kind of attitude he had, but he had always taken the initiative, and in the end, he even forced himself into a corner!

He Jinxian's eyes hid a trace of murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Lord Qian said this, then the official has to dare to say a word, since Lord Chen has written a letter to us, he must have written a letter to you, right?" If we must track it down and find out our heads, do we want to hand over this secret letter to the imperial court? Do you want to even track down Chen Ge Lao? Then is the will of the imperial court to change rice to mulberry also to be withdrawn by the emperor? Please also ask Mr. Qian to give me a clear word! Now that the matter has happened, we must find a way to solve the problem, and try not to increase the burden on the court and add trouble to the elders! It's naturally better to solve it within our Zhejiang range, but isn't it time to burn your eyebrows? ”
