"Hey, guest officer, isn't it the imperial court's Enke big test today? How did you get back? Finished the exam so quickly? Looking at Li Jingcheng, who had a blue nose and swollen face and a depressed head, the shopkeeper was very strange.

Li Jingcheng lowered his head, hurried back to his guest room without saying a word, pulled out the quilt, and slept with his head covered.

It wasn't until the moment he turned on the lamp that he was awakened by a knock on the door.

Lighting the lamp and opening the door, a handsome scholar walked in, and Shi Li said: "Yang Boyo, a scholar from the Xia Han Sect, lives upstairs in Brother Nian. Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I saw Brother Nian come forward outside the examination room today, and I was deeply impressed, and I sent some medicines for the treatment of bruises, so I would like to pay my respect, and I hope that Brother Nian will accept it with a smile! ”。

Li Jingcheng hurriedly returned the salute and said: "When we meet in Pingshui, I am grateful for the care of my brother." It's just that since Brother Nian is there, the road is uneven, why don't you speak up? ”。

Yang Boyo's face turned slightly red, and he said with a smile: "The family teacher--- the family teacher has repeatedly told me before leaving, don't be haste, be patient. There are many injustices in this world, and we are fledglings, powerless, and powerless, and it is easy to suffer from them if we act too hastily. Only by first accepting it, blending into it, and then slowly drawing it out. Just like water control, it can only be guided by the situation, not forcefully blocked. ”

Li Jingcheng let the other party into the house, sat down and served tea, and said, "Brother Nian's words are wrong! If everyone pursues the advantages and avoids the disadvantages, it can only make the scourge run rampant and become more rampant. If you are not afraid of killing your head, Daqi is now in turmoil, and he is slowly trying to figure it out, but he is afraid that time is running out. ”

Yang Boyue was stunned for a moment, and said with a stiff smile: "Brother Nian doesn't have to be too depressed, if you take the exam again next year, you will definitely be able to get the title of the gold list!" ”。

Li Jingcheng shook his head and said, "I am determined by myself." Today, I completely died of the heart of serving the court and becoming an official. It's just that I feel shameless to face my hometown fathers and elders, and I can't help but be sorry for a beautiful woman who has generously funded the next one. ”

Yang Boyu said: "Coincidentally, I also got the help of a rich lady in the future, otherwise there would be no today." ”

The two suddenly felt that they were very close to each other, and they sighed together that there are still many good people in the world, and the beauties are the kindest!

As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Li Jingcheng packed his simple bags, settled the cost of the inn, and embarked on an uneven road, which led directly to Pingzhou City. At the same time, unintentionally, he also escaped a murderous disaster.

Because after daylight, a group of officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns surrounded the inn, claiming to arrest a criminal who slandered the court and discussed the government in vain.

After the list, Yang Boyo was on the list, and after the palace exam, he was a high school flower. He didn't go back to marry the young lady who had promised him and was looking forward to it, but raised all the silver taels and presented them to Dazai-sama, and worshiped him at Dazai-sama's door as he wished.

The capital of the capital, the residence of King Gong.

Several important ministers of the court were talking to each other, and Prince Gong waved his hand to stop: "Dong Dazai is currently a popular person in front of the saint, and the crime of forcing the defenders of Tongzhou is not enough to bring him down. However, he can get rid of his right-hand man first, and the military department Shangshu can still be decapitated when he is imprisoned. Don't be too anxious, the water will come naturally. Don't think that this king doesn't know what means he used to climb to the throne of Dazai, and treat him in the way of others, everyone wait and see! ”。

A minister stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your advice, we will secretly send these pieces into the palace through the eunuchs in the palace tomorrow, so that Dazai will not be detained, and I will wait and see what happens." ”

Prince Gong nodded and said: "This time, I only participated in the military department, and I didn't mention Dazai, how shrewd the saint is, he will naturally have some consideration in his heart." You sent someone to closely monitor the scholars of this high school, and it would be best if you could pull them over. If there are those who have been cast under Dazai's door, they will be sent out as much as possible and let them get out of Dadu. The new Rite Shoshu is old and timid, so he doesn't need to pay attention. The part of the officials must be firmly grasped in their hands, and there must be no slackness! ”

The great eunuch Zheng Decai carefully observed the face of the saint, and there were more than a dozen books of impeachment of the military department spread out on the dragon book case.

The young emperor raised his head, without the slightest expression of anger, but smiled faintly.

He stretched and stood up, and Zheng Decai immediately trotted over. The emperor waved his hand, refused his support, but pointed to the pieces and said, "Look at it." ”

Zheng Decai hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old slave doesn't dare." ”

"I let you see it, do you want to resist it?"

Zheng Decai was in a cold sweat, he didn't want to lose his head for no reason, so he quickly knelt on the ground and looked seriously.

The emperor paced back and forth in the hall, and after a while, he turned around and asked, "Have you finished reading?" Tell me what you think, say it boldly, I don't blame you. ”

Zheng Decai kowtowed: "The old slave doesn't dare to say anything. Since the saint forced the old slave to say, the old slave dared to think that they were clearly impeaching the military department, but in fact they were pointing the sword at Dazai-sama. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I can't see anything that is unfavorable to Dazai, how can these things run in front of my eyes, it's very strange." I had learned about the rebels in Tongzhou three months ago, and now I have come to play, can I really be blind? ”

Zheng Decai got up from the ground and said in a low voice: "The old slave is going to find out which deacon's father-in-law sent these pieces on a errand. ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need, I am about to use this matter to show my attitude." In addition to planting cronies in the DPRK and killing innocent people to force the rebellion against the Tongzhou army, Dong Dazai was quite dedicated to other things. At least the Black Flag Army that returned to Shun is now fighting to the death with the Red Turban bandits, buying time for General Yan to train Wang Shi. ”

He turned his head and squinted his eyes slightly and asked Zheng Decai with a smile: "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Zheng Decai shook his head again and again and said, "How dare the old slave speculate on the holy will? ”

The emperor raised his head and smiled, and said: "Go down with the decree, take the military department book and go to prison to ask for the crime, and kill it according to the law of Daqi." Reward Dong Dazai with 100 brocades, 100 taels of gold, pass on my message, Dazai is diligent in government affairs, and is a model for 100 officials, I am very comforted and rewarded. ”

Seeing Zheng Decai standing there in a daze, the emperor smiled and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" This is a technique to control the courtiers, which not only calmed the resentment of the officials, but also beat Dazai, and at the same time warned the courtiers to use their minds to deal with government affairs and do it quickly. ”

Zheng Decai bowed deeply and said, "My lord is Shengming." He was about to get up and leave, but he saw the saint lightly nodding his hand and hurriedly leaning forward and pricking up his ears. I only heard the saint say: "I heard that there is a beauty named Liu Ruyan in Yanliuhe on the outskirts of Beijing recently, who has good colors and arts, and the prince and grandson are eager to visit her. I'm curious and want to take a look, you can arrange to find a few young people to accompany me and go out of the palace in micro-clothes. ”

Zheng Decai opened his mouth and said: "This --- this ---"

The saint changed color and said: "In the harem, if one of the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty learns about this, I will cut off your head and ask you!" ”。

Zheng Decai hurriedly closed his mouth, bowed his head and remained silent, and was in a cold sweat.

With a "snap", Ma Rushuang swept away the oncoming wooden stick, raised his foot and kicked the soldier in front of him out. The two soldiers on the left and right each raised wooden sticks to strike, and she slid out on her tiptoes, and her body slid out diagonally, letting go of the wooden sticks that came down from the wheel, and swinging the stick with her right hand like a knife, cutting one of the soldiers to the ground. The remaining soldier saw that it was not good, threw down the wooden stick and turned around to slip away, but Ma Rushuang chased after him like a fly, raising his stick like a sword, and poked him in the back of the heart. The soldier howled miserably, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, rolling in pain.

"Stop! Frost, you're fooling around again! "A large group of cavalry came running from afar, led by a middle-aged man with a red face and a gray beard.

Ma Rushuang stuck out her tongue, bowed down and saluted, "Daddy, are you back?" ”

The three soldiers lying on the ground also got up, knelt down and saluted, "Say hello to the marshal." ”

The red-faced man known as the big handsome is the coach of the "Ma Jiajun", known as the "King of the Northwest" Ma Maoxun. He waved his whip and motioned for the soldiers to get even. said to Ma Rushuang with a calm face: "If you don't hurt a few of my soldiers every month, you won't be reconciled, right?" Now it is rumored in the team that they would rather die on the battlefield than accompany you Miss Ma to practice martial arts, do you know? The two you crippled last time won't go to the ground yet! ”。

Ma Rushuang pouted and argued: "No, Daddy, my daughter is all up to the point." And they all volunteered to play with me, don't believe you ask them. ”

The three grizzled soldiers looked at each other in distress, grinned bitterly and nodded vigorously.

Ma Rushuang proudly straightened her small chest and said with a smile: "Look, I'm right, right? ”

Ma Maoxun sighed lightly, shook his head helplessly, turned over and dismounted.

Ma Rushuang happily pounced, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly: "Hmph, Daddy, you will lose your temper with me as soon as you come back!" What do the eleven anti-kings look like? Is Pingzhou City fun? ”。

Ma Maoxun glared at her with loving eyes and said, "You, when will you grow up?!" It's better for your brother to let me worry! ”。

The group hugged back to the big tent, after Ma Maoxun washed briefly, all the generals came to pay homage, and Ma Dashuai waved his hand to let everyone sit down. took a sip of the tea bowl, put it down and said: "This time to participate in the Righteous Army Alliance Conference is also an eye-opener, and heroes from all walks of life have emerged. The Red Turban Army was clean and well-equipped. There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the team, and there are many talents. It's just that Liu Qian seems to be quite ambitious, and Gao Jinbao, the leader of the Taiping Army, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I'm afraid that after the overthrow of Daqi, it will be rare for the world to be peaceful! ”

A general stood up and saluted: "Commander, the so-called chaos in the world, the heroes are competing for the deer." Our army should also be vigorous and prepare in advance! ”

Ma Maoxun stretched out his hand and stroked a handful of gray long beards, shook his head and said: "We have a high mountain here, and the emperor is far away, and Ben Shuai is not so ambitious. I just hope to live in a safe corner and live a happy life with my brothers with wine and meat, and indulge in horses and songs. Everyone will have a drink tonight, which can be regarded as a pick-up for Ben Shuai. As for who wins the world, who sits on the emperor's dragon chair, it's my bird business! ”
