"Brother Zhang Da," Shenwei General Liu Zili rushed back from the front of the Zhangzhou army, and he smiled at Xu Ziwen: "When I was in Zhangzhou, I read the Fuzhou Weekly and saw Xu Zixian's article, which seems to be written well?" ”

In the elegant collection of King Zhao's mansion, Liu Zili also saw Xu Zixian, and he was not impressed at the time, but there was no conflict, and he asked at this time, just curious.

"Xu Zixian's text is flat and straightforward." Xu Gongda heard it on the side, and immediately said: "It's just to sympathize with the tragedy of his ancestors, how can it be worthy of the literary version?" ”

Due to new and old grudges, Xu Gongda's resentment towards Xu Zixian is even deeper.

Chen Jingfu also said: "It is really unheard of that market slang can also be elegant. Wei Yanke really went too far in order to make a name for Xu Zixian......"

Everyone nodded slightly, they were all young people in their twenties, and Xu Zixian did not have a deep friendship, seeing that Xu Zixian became famous, and the popularity of an article has not disappeared until now, it is obviously impossible not to be jealous.

Chen Zhengzhi didn't think so, of course he also read the article, his feelings were sincere, and he felt that not ordinary people could write this article, but Chen Jingfu and Xu Gongda looked angry, and Chen Zhengzhi couldn't afford to make trouble with everyone because Xu Zixian was in trouble with everyone, so he smiled slightly, intending to interrupt the topic at the moment.

"The vernacular is indeed a refined colloquialism, and it is not impossible to become famous. This was said by the right minister," Xu Ziwen smiled faintly and said: "Mingda's previous article, to be fair, the writing is not bad, but it is in love, and I don't see the skill." Whether it can be produced again, I am a little skeptical. ”

In terms of Xu Ziwen's status, he has tried his best to evaluate fairly, but according to his old understanding of Xu Zixian, the evaluation is a little low.

Xu Gongda nodded abruptly and said, "I think Xu Zixian can also write this article, what Brother Zhang Da said is very reasonable." ”

Chen Jingfu said: "A man's husband is either good at literature, like Brother Zhang Da. Either learn from Brother Liu, go to the army to serve and make a reputation, how can you be like a little lady, pretend to be a filial son to make people sympathetic and famous, I look down on him! ”

This is too mean, and nine out of ten people here are nobles, and many people's faces are suddenly ugly, and even Liu Zili, who was taken out as an example, looked embarrassed, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I don't doubt it." Chen Wenjun's voice was soft, but he said very resolutely: "I read that article, the text is clumsy, and the rules are seen in the plainness, which should be carefully calculated, deleted, and deliberately created after revision, which corresponds to the main purpose of the article, which shows that it is wonderful." Chances are, we'll see something like that again. ”

Chen Wenjun's words made the people present even more embarrassed.

Xu Gongda's eyes widened, and Chen Jingfu sneered.

Chen Zhengzhi said roundly: "The sister is very happy with Brother Mingda's article, and some of them are too respectful. ”

Xu Ziwen's heart was sour, he felt Chen Wenjun's admiration for Xu Zixian's literary talents, and all kinds of emotions came to his heart for a while, but he was a free and confident character, so he immediately nodded and said: "What Wen Junmei said also makes sense, so let's look forward to it." ”

Although he showed his demeanor, Xu Ziwen still had a sense of loss that he couldn't hide.

Chen Jingfu couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered: "I also have some expectations, see when Xu Zixian can make a career, and I will ...... then."

At this time, there was a noise outside, Chen Zhengzhi quickly stood up and said, "I don't know what happened, wait for me to take a look." ”

Everyone didn't want to continue this awkward topic, and everyone stood up and walked out.

After everyone went out, they found that there were a lot of people crowded in the courtyard, and those officials and gentry who were usually dignified and steady, and always put on a middle-aged face, couldn't help but talk about each other, and Changwen Marquis Chen Dujing and appeasement envoy Lin Douyao, system envoy Han Bingzhong, patrol envoy Xiao Zan, and punishment envoy Zheng Liqi, and Yang Shiwei, the military affairs of Fuzhou Prefecture......

The courtyard is full of high-ranking officials of the third rank and above wearing purple robes, even if Xu Ziwen has such an identity, in front of these high-ranking civil officials who really hold real power, he is just a junior of the clan who has no power to speak.

Zheng Liqi's face was full of light, Yang Shiwei also looked satisfied, it seems that the two big men have reached a consensus on the distribution of the stolen goods, and it is no wonder that Yang Shiwei sent the charge secretary to solve the request of Sanguantang for the first time, and of course he did not panic when he had money in his hand.

Lin Douyao's expression was indifferent, Han Bingzhong's expression was a little ugly, and he looked at Zheng Liqi and Yang Shiwei with hatred from time to time, Han Bingzhong was extremely dissatisfied with these two colleagues of the same rank, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do.

As soon as Lin Douyao and the others came in, they alarmed the people in the courtyard, this is almost a big gathering at the highest level of the military and government in Fuzhou, and ordinary people don't even think about it when they celebrate their birthdays, even Chang Wenhou is actually not enough to save face.

"There is a great event in Fuzhou today." Zheng Liqi said proudly: "I'm waiting for the meeting to be over, I think of Chen Hou's birthday today, Lin Shuai and Han Shuai, as well as Xiao Press, Yang Dafu all said that they should come to have fun and ask for a glass of wine to eat......

Chen Dujing understood the reason, it turned out that these big people with real power were holding a meeting in Fucheng today, Zheng Liqi originally promised to come over, and as soon as he proposed, no one else would object, so naturally they all came together, causing the current sensational situation.

Lin Douyao is a pacification envoy, Han Bingzhong is a system envoy, and his positions are biased towards military affairs, so Zheng Liqi is called "Lin Shuai" and "Han Shuai", and Xiao Zan, the patrol, is commensurate with the envoy, and Yang Shiwei is called Dafu, it can be seen from the title that these people really hold the real power, and their words and deeds can affect the military and political affairs of Fujian Road, in front of these people, princes like King Qi and King Zhao are slightly inferior, and they can only be political allies, not vassals, in front of them, Xu Ziwen and others are suddenly overshadowed, Not even qualified to be greeted.

"I don't know what the happy event is?" Chen Dujing thanked Lin Douyao and others for coming, and on the other hand, he had to answer Zheng Liqi's words.

"Does Chen Hou know about Qishan thief Chen Yuyong?"

"Yes." Chen Dujing said: "I hate this person deeply, Chongde seven years of sea five thieves broke Zhangzhou, it was this person who led the Qishan thieves as the vanguard, killing people and killing many people. ”

"He's already beheaded." Zheng Liqi slapped his face and said with a smile on his face: "The head has been hung on the flagpole outside the main gate of the pacification envoy's yamen." ”

"Chen Yuyong conferred the head?" Chen Dujing was really taken aback, and he also understood why these big names would rarely get together.

For such a big event, of course, it is necessary to have a meeting, and at least to reach a consensus, how to play, and how to share the merits. The Qishan Bandit is one of the bandit leaders who have registered in both the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, of course, it is not as high as Chen Yutai's status, if Chen Yutai is the head, I am afraid that it will alarm the prime minister and the emperor of the two governments.

Even if it is Chen Yuyong, it is not light, and it is worth such a big battle today.

As for the spoils distribution meeting, looking at the faces of everyone in front of them, you can probably understand one or two, it should be the Fuzhou Mansion and the Sentencing Envoy Department who have gained the greatest benefits, Han Bingzhong's face can wring out water, and he, the envoy, did not gain benefits in the robbery case, it is like losing the purse on his waist.

However, Lin Douyao, the handsome minister, did not have much joy, which made Chen Dujing a little strange.

The marshal appeased all the way, no matter what merit or fault, Lin Douyao had a share, this is the benefit and disadvantage of the highest land defender.

If there are good things, the appeasement envoy will have a share, and if there are bad things, the appeasement envoy will not be able to escape.

Lin Douyao also has a share of the credit for this capture and beheading, but he doesn't know why he is not very happy.

Chen Dujing realized in his heart, it seems that this matter has triggered a round of open and secret battles in the power core of Fuzhou Mansion, and it is estimated that Lin Douyao's side does not have much interest.

"In addition to Chen Yuyong," Zheng Liqi said with a smile, "there are more than seventy bandits who have been given heads, and their heads are all hanging outside the city gate." ”

"Good, good!" Chen Dujing praised from the bottom of his heart: "Qishan bandits have been rampant for many years, and the government has no way to exterminate them, and this time it can kill so many people, which can be regarded as avenging some blood revenge for the people." ”

"Exactly." Zheng Liqi and Yang Shiwei both nodded together and replied yes in succession.

Chen Dujing said with some curiosity: "I don't know which commander led the troops, how did this battle be fought, is it on Qizhou Island?" ”

Lin Douyao said lightly: "I'm afraid that some things are out of Chen Hou's imagination...... This battle was not fought by officers and soldiers, but Xu Zixian, the son of the Hou of Nan'an, who led the pirates who ambushed the pirates in the area of Nan'anze Town and Shuikou Town, and beheaded Chen Yuyong, defeated more than 200 pirates, and beheaded more than 70 ......"

"Is that so?" Chen Dujing was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe his ears for a while.

Lin Douyao sighed, and the concealment made people even more speculative, suspicious, or secretly mocking, he smiled quite self-deprecatingly, and said: "Previously, the prince of Nan'an Hou had reported that his escaped Guanzhuang manager Li Cheng was secretly colluding with the Qishan thieves and hiding the stolen goods from Qishan, which might make Chen Yutai send people to attack the Houfu Courtyard and Nan'anze Town. This matter did not make the official pay attention to it, and now it seems that he is still a little careless, and the official will play the court and ask for punishment......"

Of course, Lin Douyao didn't want to play, and the court would not embarrass the handsome ministers all the way over a trivial matter, but as soon as the performance was set, Lin Douyao had nothing to do with his face after all, and it was also a big blow to his goal of entering the Privy Council or the Political Affairs Hall.

But there are patrol envoys, torture envoys, and the existence of the Fuzhou prefect, all forces are restraining each other, Lin Douyao himself does not play, and others will make him even more embarrassed.

Chen Dujing had to make a comforting gesture, he had no intention of intervening in the power struggle, and could only make this relatively detached statement, which could not say much.

Zheng Liqi said a few words of comfort instead, the officialdom struggle will not tear his face until the last moment, and in front of everyone, Zheng Liqi and Xiao Zan will never embarrass Lin Douyao.

At this time, there were exclamations one after another in the courtyard, and someone couldn't help but say loudly: "Hou Shizi of Nan'an, I thought he was just a filial son who could write articles, but I didn't expect him to be so brave?" ”

There is an insider: "Qin Dongyang, the captain of the Hou Mansion of Nan'an, is a great master. ”

"It seems that the prince of Nan'an Hou is very remarkable, he can recognize and use people, and he is very good at controlling the way. can personally lead the troops to ambush the bandits, this kind of courage is also rare. ”

"I heard that the prince personally killed the bandits, and his martial arts are also quite good."

"Qishan thieves are few and fine, and the martial arts are above the officers and soldiers, it seems that the prince will enter Beijing next year to attack the lord, no problem."

"The prince is a martial artist, right? It seems that the country needs one more pillar. ”

When Zheng Liqi heard this, he agreed and said: "This official is going to protect the prince of Nan'an Hou to the imperial court, and of course this matter must be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" ”

The rest of the adults had different expressions, and no one agreed with Zheng Liqi's words.
