Chapter 44: Bait
Grunt, grunt......
Bah~
Wang Shouye spit out the mouthwash, picked up the strong tea he had made last night, dipped it with his hand, rubbed it lightly on his eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "Tea can brighten the eyes~~~, tea can brighten the eyes~~~"
I just shouted twice, and suddenly I heard someone behind me snort and laugh.
Looking back, it was Liu Quan rolling a few pieces of rice paper, and he didn't know when he went around his back.
Wang Shouye hurriedly wiped the tea with the back of his hand, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's okay to entertain yourself when you're idle, but let Brother Liu laugh." ”
In fact, after the last blood and tears, he was afraid that he would become blind, so he learned the home remedies in the TV series and used strong tea to maintain his eyes every day.
Liu Quan laughed: "I'm afraid that you will feel unaccustomed to it after you have been bored in Beizhen Fusi for so many days - now it seems that this little day is moist and tight." ”
For this, Wang Shouye could only smile bitterly.
From the first night of the first month of August, on the pretext of avoiding a recurrence of the tragedy, Beizhen Fusi insisted on 'chaining' him to the left side of this prison temple, and he could not get out day and night.
After seven or eight days in a row, what can he do even if he is not used to it?
Seeing Wang Shouye smiling bitterly, Liu Quan took the opportunity to hand over the rice paper under his armpit: "Well, this is the newspaper that just came out yesterday, and I specially brought it over to relieve your boredom." ”
said that it was a newspaper that had just come out, but in fact, it was all old news a few days ago, and Wang Shouye didn't read it carefully, so he guessed first.
After all, the only thing worth mentioning recently is the Beizhen Fusi incident on the first day of August.
According to later statistics, a total of 282 people were affected by Sanskrit singing that day, from Wu Jingzhong, who was in charge of the Fusi of Beizhen, to punish a total of 282 people.
Seventy-four of them lost their minds and became idiots with Buddha mouths full of names.
Although the 41 people are still conscious, their memories and personalities have been damaged and distorted to varying degrees.
Although the rest were also fascinated by the Sanskrit chanting, they never approached the Hell Temple for various reasons, so there was nothing unusual afterwards.
However, most of the last batch of people are prisoners in the Imperial Prison, and for them, it is difficult to say whether this is lucky or unlucky.
Anyway, this thing is a stabbing thing.
Since the next day, officials have been writing to the court on this matter.
There are those who participated in the impeachment of Jinyiwei for dereliction of duty and caused a catastrophe; It is suggested that the Buddha's light relics are ominous things, and there are those that should be destroyed quickly.
There are even a few people who are not sober, and the book says that this is a warning from the Buddha that the imperial court should repair the temple, respect the monks, and promote the Dharma to calm the anger of the Buddha.
In short, there are all kinds of opinions.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Jiajing made an exception and convened civil and military officials above the third rank in Beijing to hold a court meeting in the Taihe Hall to discuss the aftermath of the matter.
It was also at this court meeting that Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, took the initiative to ask for guilt, and then proposed that Jinyiwei and Dongchang take the lead in forming a new yamen to deal with the recent frequent supernatural incidents.
This stone stirred up a thousand waves.
If there is opposition, it means that there has been a charm since ancient times, and the gentleman can stay away.
What's more, as the saying goes, it is not to blame for its self-defeat, if the revival of the division moves the people to add a division and a yamen, it is tantamount to wasting national funds and wasting national strength.
There are supporters, saying that since the beginning of spring this year, strange things have emerged one after another, if the court has been ignoring it, what is the difference between covering your ears and stealing the bell?
And there is a special division yamen, which can also prevent and guide and avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the Beizhen Fusi, how can it be said that it is a waste of national funds?
The pros and cons have their own opinions, and there has been a lot of quarrel in recent days.
But in general, there are far more people against it than there are people in favor of it.
It's not that the princes in the court like to cover their ears and steal the bell and turn a blind eye.
It's because Emperor Jiajing has been obsessed with cultivating and refining pills in recent years, if there is a yamen specially set up for the affairs of gods and ghosts, wouldn't it further encourage his practice of not asking the common people to ask ghosts and gods?
As the so-called lesser of two evils, the courtiers are obviously more concerned about the emperor's governance tendencies than the occasional scandal among the people.
But......
Wang Shouye read the newspaper at a glance, but found that the content published on it was diametrically opposed to public opinion in the court, and the articles supporting the establishment of the Yamen occupied the vast majority of the pages.
Needless to say, this must have been at Jiajing's behest.
It seems that the establishment of a new division and yamen is imperative.
At that time, there is no doubt that he will become a member of the new yamen.
Thinking of this, Wang Shouye looked up at Liu Quan: "Brother Liu, if you really want to transfer people from our East Factory to form a new yamen, have you ever thought about ......it?"
"Stop!"
Liu Quan immediately shook his hand out of the ghost: "I can't stand the restraints, it's better to stay in the East Factory and live a good life." ”
Dawdle?
Hehe~
I'm afraid that the busiest person in Dongchangzi is you Liu Baihu!
A few days ago, Jiang Shifan took the initiative to come to the door and mentioned Wang Shouye's big and small affairs in the East Factory, but he knew everything.
Considering his status in the East Factory, this is not unusual.
But there are some things that only Liu Quan, who is in the same hospital, knows!
Wang Shouye deduced from this that Liu Quan was most likely Jiang Shifan's connector in the East Factory - maybe not just Jiang Shifan, after all, during the original East Factory job-hopping tide, there were not a few 'sand' mixed with Jinyiwei.
But......
Looking back now, Wang Shouye is a little suspicious, this is actually Jiang Shifan deliberately misleading himself.
said that Wang Shouye and Liu Quan were gossiping.
Suddenly, two people walked in from the outside, Zhao Kui with a tiger's back and a bear's waist in the head, and Zhao Hongyu carrying a food box in the back.
"Yo, Liu Baihu is here?"
After entering the hospital, Zhao Kui saw that Liu Quan was also there, so he first hurried a few steps and gave a deep salute, and then turned back and ordered: "Girl, you put down the food box and go get some wine and food." ”
"Don't bother."
Liu Quan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I have already eaten in the morning, and besides, I still have an errand to do, so I can't stay for a while." ”
Zhao Kui gave up at this time, and motioned to Zhao Hongyu to put the food box in the house for the time being.
It stands to reason that since he has to get out of the cage, he should go back to Miao County to reunite with his family.
But Zhao Kui never mentioned this stubble, but took his daughter together and contracted Wang Shouye's food and clothing during his stay in the prison temple.
His intention to do this, Wang Shouye actually knew it for a long time.
First, he was afraid that Li Mubai would take revenge for personal gain, and he had the intention of taking refuge under Wang Shouye's door - Zhao Kui was under house arrest in Beizhen Fusi before, and it was very likely that it was at the behest of Li Mubai.
Second, I also looked at Wang Shouye in just over a month, from a simple bricklayer to a dignified brocade guard, and he was also looking forward to taking advantage of Wang Shouye's east wind to find a half-official position.
However, Zhao Kui has never made it clear, and Wang Shouye has not taken the initiative to break it.
After all, rushing is not a sale.
But after drying Zhao Kui for seven or eight days, it's time to put some bait.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu's graceful figure disappear behind the door, Wang Shouye immediately turned to Liu Quan, and said: "Brother Liu, it's not convenient for me to go back to the East Factory, you can ask Zhou Zhangban for me to see if the new yamen can be settled, do we have to recruit more people from the East Factory." ”
When Liu Quan heard this, he immediately glanced at Zhao Kui, and saw that he pretended not to care, but his two ears were already erected, so he smiled and said: "I must recruit you, but I can't interject how to recruit and what kind of person to recruit." ”
Seeing that Zhao Kui's face was a little stiff, he suddenly changed his words again: "But brother, you are different, when the time comes, you will definitely have to ask for your opinion, and I dare not say more, it should not be a problem to recommend one or two small flags." ”
After speaking, he got up lazily and said, "Okay, this big and far-away food, it's not good to chill the hearts of other girls-you eat, I'll go back to the yamen to order first." ”
That's a real informative one!
Wang Shouye sent him out of the hospital, turned his head and looked at Zhao Kui again, he was already overwhelmed by joy.
He smiled secretly, but he didn't pay attention to Zhao Kui anymore, but Shi Shiran went back to the house, teasing Zhao Hongyu while having breakfast.
