Buzheng Fang, Shangshu Mansion.

In the study, Cao Yong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Li Ru, the priest of the country, and an old man in brocade clothes, the three of them sat with Song Yan in turn, all with solemn faces and hidden bitterness.

The old man in brocade looked similar in age to Song Yan, or even older.

There were a lot of age spots on his face, and his face was heavy at the moment, and he sighed and said, "Shuping, you disciple...... Alas! ”

As he spoke, he shook his head with a wry smile.

Shuping is the word of Song Yan, and the world is called Song Chan Gong.

Those who are qualified to be able to read the words on their tables do not add up to more than ten fingers.

This old man is one of them.

He is the head of the hundred officials, the first assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of the Baohe Palace, and Ge Zhicheng.

It's just that he didn't expect that the official fortune that had been vigorous and glorious all his life would come to an abrupt end today.

The four people in the study here, the book please to the officer, today all approved.

Permit!

At the same time, there was also the verdict of Zhang Qun, the left servant of the Li Fan Yuan, who was exiled for 3,000 miles.

Although they have reached this point, they will not be as ignorant as the foolish people outside, thinking that Ye Qing is opening their eyes for Jia Cong.

Everyone knows the truth clearly.

But in the end, this matter still involved Jia Cong.

Without him, Zhang Qun would not have encouraged his sister to be the imperial concubine in the palace, and there would not have been today's changes.

Although he is seventy-six years old, Ge Zhicheng really does not have enough to do the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Even if it is more and more an empty name, even if it is an empty name, it is the head of the cabinet who has the power in the world.

So I was full of unwillingness......

Song Yan said lightly: "Yuan Fu should know that this matter has nothing to do with Qingchen. Zhang Ziwei was treacherous and instigated the imperial concubine to spread rumors in front of the queen mother to damage the reputation of the Qing ministers.

It's just that he didn't expect that the girl of the Ye family was so transparent, and she would take the first step to expose his tricks and let her reap the consequences.

There should be a fair opinion on who is right and who is wrong. ”

When Ge Zhicheng heard this, the anger in his old eyes flashed, but he could only shake his head sadly, and said in an old and sad voice: "Well, right and wrong, what's the benefit of talking about it at this time?" It has become a foregone conclusion that the old man is returning to his hometown to recuperate. Shuping, you can do it yourself.

The old party has survived to this day, and it has finally been buried.

The old man has done his best, where will this big cadre go......

Leave it to fate. ”

After that, Ge Zhicheng said goodbye and left.

After sending off the former Yuanfu of this big cadre, and after everyone sat down again, Cao Yong sneered and said, "Such a big man is old, do you really want to die in office?" Moreover, now that the palace doesn't even keep him, he doesn't retreat in that position, and he still has a face? ”

Li Ru also shook his head and said: "Your Majesty intends to change the law, and the new law is unstoppable." I can't wait for the old minister to fall in love again, so I can only bring humiliation on myself. It's okay to retire like this, why blame the juniors? Motofu is ...... Alas. ”

Cao Yong hit the nail on the head and said: "Do you think he really fell in love with the old party?" It sounds good, what a big job is not to protect his huge family business in his hometown! The Ge family has no successors, and they haven't even come out again, but they are entrenched in southern Jiangxi and donate their fields in a big way. His relatives and township party did all the bad things in Jiangxi, and the local people complained and suffered unspeakably......

He was okay when he was in power, even Ning Zechen had to give this Yuan Fu some dignity.

This abdication...... You see, before he returns to his hometown, the inventory has already begun over there.

That's why he was anxious and afraid, Baba's door-to-door discussion of the law, and he wanted to rely on Qingchen's head.

It's ridiculous! ”

Song Yan smiled and said, "So, why are you angry? Each person has his own fate...... It's just that I didn't expect that even you would retire this time. ”

The excerpts of the begging bones of the old ministers in the court are commonplace, just to prevent people from saying that they are not in love.

But in general, the folds of such beggar bones are usually left unpublished.

It's just the unspoken rules of officialdom.

But no one expected that this time the palace would pick up all these folds and approve them all.

As a result, all the new parties in the Manchurian dynasty and the old parties were swept out of Beijing, and no one had the face to continue to stay.

In the end, this matter has something to do with Jia Cong, so Song Yan is still a little ashamed.

Cao Yong and Li Ru are both in their early sixties, and normally have at least ten years of political life left.

Cao Yong and Li Ru would not rely on Jia Cong for this matter like Ge Zhicheng, but there is really no reason.

Cao Yong said with a smile: "Song Changong, as the so-called Tao is different, the main purpose of the new law is good, but it is too radical, and it is not in line with our way of 'governing a big country like cooking a small fresh'." Instead of receiving a piece of money and sitting in the public hall all day long, it is better to go back, it is better to go back! ”

Li Ru also laughed and said: "The countryside will not return!" ”

Song Yan smiled when he heard this, knowing that the two old friends were indeed not power-loving people, and there was no family behind them that could only be protected by power, so he was a little relieved.

After laughing, Cao Yong collected his expression and said to Song Yan: "Song Changong, although we all know, this matter has nothing to do with Qingchen. But now that there is a lot of discussion outside, it is the Ye family who sued a second-grade waiter in order to maintain the Qing ministers. That's not a good thing......"

Li Ru shook his head and said: "This kind of criticism is actually secondary, although there is a negative side, but even if it is a rat trap, the people in the new party will not do anything to the Qing ministers for the time being, just in case." Otherwise, this time it won't be a knife on our old bones.

Now the question is......

Song Changong, the one from the Ye family, what does it mean to Qingchen?

Qingchen himself, what is his mind? ”

Song Yan frowned slightly when he heard this.

They are all veteran officials who have struggled all their lives on the airport of intrigue and intrigue, and they can naturally peel back the clouds and see the truth when they look at the problem.

Although they can't be very sure, if the Ye family has no thoughts about Jia Cong at all, they don't believe it......

Otherwise, there would not have been such a big movement yesterday.

It's just that what Li Ru said, I'm afraid it's more than that.

He was probably worried that Jia Cong would mistakenly lose himself in such a sense of majesty.

After all, in the eyes of many people, joining the Ye family and becoming the queen mother is better than staying in the mess of the Jia family.

However, Song Yan slowly shook his head and said: "Qingchen has great ambitions, and he will never come to this. ”

The inverted doors of later generations are all looked down upon, let alone this era?

Li Ru nodded and said: "Well, this kid Qingchen is a very hearted person, and he is the most diligent scholar in the country, which shows the depth of his ambitions."

Moreover, how could a person with such perseverance and wisdom give up his innocence and become a son-in-law for the sake of empty power?

It's just Song Changong, there is one more thing that I have to think about......"

Song Yan glanced at Li Ru, an old friend who had known each other for many years, and they knew each other very well, so he guessed what the other party was thinking with just one word, and asked, "You mean, the matter of Qiuyu?" ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "Although the new party will not directly attack the Qing ministers now, but when the autumn season comes, I am afraid that someone will inevitably do it."

At present, all the people are new parties, and although the new party does not regard Qing ministers as a thorn in the flesh, they do not have a good impression of them. When the time comes......"

Song Yan hesitated and said, "Is Shou Heng too worried?" The imperial examination is a great ceremony for talents, and the township examination has to be famous, and they dare to do tricks? ”

Cao Yong sneered and said, "Cao Ziang is the champion, I feel very empty." ”

Li Ru also said: "The new party attaches importance to practice and clears its name. They are afraid that they will really be able to do it, although they will not reveal the name, but Qingchen's stroke, which one does not know now? ”

When Song Yan heard this, his face was gloomy, and he was about to say something, when he heard a knock on the door outside, he said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

Then I saw the eldest grandson Song Hua and Jia Cong hurriedly come in......

"Sir!"

Jia Cong's face was extremely ugly, and on the way here, he had already gotten the news.

If the Rongguo Mansion was besieged yesterday and the shock caused by the raid of the Shilang Mansion was a tsunami, then the impact of all the old party bosses of the Manchu Dynasty returning to their hometowns within a time limit today is an earth-shattering shock.

There was no need to deliberately inquire, Jia Cong was halfway through, and the rumors on the road outside confirmed the bad conjecture in his heart.

Sure enough, it's the same as the last time......

Whenever the new party loses, it will inevitably take the opportunity to create a wave of the old party.

Regardless of whether the new party is unlucky, because of its own scandal, or for other reasons, it must turn it into a party struggle and then turn defeat into victory.

The reason is simple: at a time when the new law is forcibly pushing the world, the new party cannot tolerate any failure.

But even if he understood this, when he heard that Song Yan, Cao Yong, Li Ru and a large number of old party members he knew and had close relations with were "sent to Shi", Jia Cong was still extremely angry.

So I hurried here.

"Calm your nerves!!"

But before Jia Cong could say anything, he heard Song Yan snort lightly and reprimanded: "What's the matter that you are flustered and have lost your spiritual cultivation?" ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he hurriedly suppressed his anger, bowed down and saluted: "The disciple has seen Mr., Mr. Runqin, and Mr. Shouheng. ”

After Song Yan said "um", he looked up and down, couldn't bear to say anything, and continued to Li Ru and Cao Yong: "Although the new party will be powerful in the future, the DPRK and China will not really be able to cover the sky with one hand. In the end, there are still some highly respected neutral people, such as Yang Yangzheng, the left governor of Lantai Temple, who is a righteous person and can be the backbone of the imperial court.

He would never watch some people manipulate Qiu Yu and use the National Dynasty to attack the Qing ministers.

Moreover, although the old man is dead, he is not dead!

If the old man is not enough, there is also Mr. Mu Min, who dares to be presumptuous, and do his hands and feet on the autumn squirrel, the old man and Mr. Mu Min will go to Beijing together to beat the drum!

Which one can cover the sky with one hand? ”

Li Ru: "......"

Cao Yong: "......"

Song Hua: "......"

"Sir!"

When the other three were shocked and speechless by Song Yan's domineering calf protection behavior, Jia Cong's eyes were already red.

Song Yan has been an official for a lifetime, and now suddenly Zhishi, several frustrated old people get together, not complaining about the back road, but worrying about him.

No matter what reason Song Yan was so kind to him, at this moment, Jia Cong only felt a strong sense of love.

Therefore, he shook it to the end, and choked up: "Teacher, Cong, how can he be so virtuous, he has to be so loved by Mr. ......"

This sentence is also what Li Ru and Cao Yong think in their hearts.

Although they all knew that Song Yan was extremely fond of this closed disciple, he could be pampered to this extent......

Isn't it too reasonable to drag the Holy Father of the World to beat the Dengwen drum together?

There is no room for suspicion to arise in their hearts.

However, Song Yan didn't have the slightest meaning to explain, he said to Jia Cong gently: "Don't think nonsense, you are already old as a teacher, and you are already in the age of Zhishi, so you can return to your hometown and live a few more years." Seon lost his horse, and how can he know if it is a blessing?

The only thing you need to think about now is the autumn season.

The rest, don't worry about it.

Is the house all clean? ”

Jia Cong got up, his face was still moved, and he nodded and said, "It's all right." ”

Song Yan smiled and said, "Okay, the wood of the hug was born in the end of the millennium." The nine-story platform starts from the soil. If you don't sweep a house, how can you calm the world? The gentleman has eight eyes, and the family is one. The inner courtyard is worry-free, so that the world can be enlightened. ”

Jia Cong bowed again and said, "When a disciple is taught, he must remember Mr.'s teachings." ”

Song Yan bowed his head and smiled at Cao Yong and Li Ru: "Runqin, Shouheng, we are bound to study, and after entering Beijing to catch the title of the gold list, we must first enter Qujiang Pool and go to Qujiang for a banquet."

Decades have passed by in the snap of a finger, green silk for white hair, white body comes, and white body wants to return in white.

After three days, we will leave Beijing, why not visit Qujiang Pond tomorrow and have a glimpse of the old place?

If you can get one or two masterpieces, you can also take advantage of the excitement and return without losing your fame.

How is it? ”

When Cao Yong and Li Ru heard this, they glanced at Jia Cong, who was standing calmly, and after looking at each other again, they laughed and said, "I don't dare to ask for ears!" ”

PS: A lot of author friends in the author group are talking about the annual leave, one can rest for a few days, and second, the New Year's reader traffic is hugely low, everyone is busy with the New Year, the subscription will be lowered, the ticket will be reduced, the reward will be less, and the update will outweigh the loss. That makes sense......

The bigwigs are on leave?
