After personally seeing the young scholars who came to pay a visit, they left the Zhuangzi again with a heavy face. The old man, who was graceful and wealthy to the master of this room, returned to the inner room and sat down again.

"Grandpa, why do you encourage and support him so much to work hard for the grass thief."

At this time, his eldest son, a middle-aged man with beard, couldn't help but ask.

"I can also use the interests of my family to make a name for him."

"Then what kind of character do you think the lord of the Taiping Army should be?"

The rich old man did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"He is a cruel, tyrannical and vicious traitor, especially hating the family of the eunuch and the family of the family. It's always good to mutilate them on fabricated charges"

The middle-aged man did not hesitate to say to himself.

"If it weren't for the fact that the family still has some years of reputation and reputation, as well as the livelihood support of the river, I am afraid it would not be as simple as freeing slaves to sacrifice land and cut wealth."

"That's because you only look at the truth on the face, and you only know one and don't ask the other. For example, the trend of chaos is intensifying today, but the court is weak and the government can't control the thieves, and it is rare to see that there is a place in the world where people can be alone. ”

The old man shook his head with some hatred.

"If we want to continue our family business and family, we naturally have to give up and choose... However, I am not afraid that he is ambitious, that he is morally corrupt, that he is not slapped for his personal morality, that he is cruel and cruel, and that he is cruel and bloodthirsty; ”

"The most feared thing is to occupy the local master, so that the basic pattern and the way to think ahead, or to have such a foundation and weather, but it is the result of having no ambition and being at peace."

"However, since this son has already established his own system outside the mountain and has no external strength in governance, it is the biggest trouble and helplessness and powerlessness for us."

Speaking of this, the rich old man sighed deeply.

"This also means that he can take away everything that my generation has without any scruples, and he can also punish those who do not like it by force."

"You don't know, Taiping thief... He has already re-surveyed and erected boundary posts and sealed piles, and ordered an inventory of the abandonment of land in various places; There is also news that in the future, there will be many people who abandon the fields to be punished, and even expropriated on the spot and those who are not fair. ”

"There is also a saying that the household will be re-liquidated, and the tax will be determined by the number of slaves and maids and property that are kept, and a reward will be offered to encourage the market to be the first and to be informed."

The middle-aged man, who was his eldest son, was touched.

"It's really going to be disgraceful and often collapse; Isn't this the method of those brutal and rude cool officials in ancient times, but I'm afraid that the place has only settled down a little now; It's going to be a long time for the people to make a living. ”

"That's why I'm going to let him try to go to it; In this way, even if the family is overturned, the worst can save the bloodline and family name of the next clan. ”

The rich old man explained meaningfully.

"If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be no one to inquire about the news and talk to these people. No matter how far away the branch is, it's also a child of our surname Wu. ”

Of course, he still has the implication that he has not spoken, that is, the existence of this side branch disciple who voted for the grass thief actually has another function; If it is to encounter the imperial court and the government in the future, it will fight back again, and carry out a counterattack on everything that exists; He can also easily get rid of his involvement or a strong man's broken wrist, and save his family at a small cost.

"Yes, I want you to send this news out in person."

Thinking of this, the old man turned his head again and said.

"Grandpa, this is just speculation chasing after the wind and shadows."

The middle-aged eldest son couldn't help but be surprised

"That's why I need you to deliver the news personally."

The old man sighed heavily.

"According to the news from the north, the imperial court has issued a lot of hanging rewards for his heels and provenance. This kind of clues and rumors that other families don't have, isn't it particularly strange to live in. ”

"Whether it's true or not, the roots of the court in the future of this family are arranged... Don't be slack and careless, in case someone from another family gets the news and wants to donate, it won't have any meaning and value."

"So you leave immediately, take advantage of the severe cold on the river, when there are fewer grass thieves, and go to Fangzhou to find the local family to find some way for you."

Outside of this grange, the young guard puppy of the newspaper team, who was acting separately from his companions, was also chewing on a sweet and sparse branch of a newly dug thatch, and lazily looked at the entrance and exit of Zhuangzi.

It wasn't until a middle-aged man with his follower who was still looking forward to this thing came out of it that he suddenly became serious, and according to the training and teaching he had received, the shorthand charcoal pen depicted the physical characteristics of the other party; And note something.

。。。。。。。

In Chang'an City, it is already the harsh winter period when snowflakes are flying and dripping into ice.

The lieutenant envoy who went to Guangfu to recruit an unsuccessful and was released back, Mu Haogu, the right guard of the right prison guard of the Inner Palace, did not have time to take a good breath to wash off the dust on his body, and was waiting in the small yellow door of the door for the first time, and was recruited into the inner hall with a snowflake;

To tell the truth, he had mixed feelings and palpitations about this mission; Compared with the provincial governor of the palace who led and sent him to the area where the grass thieves in Guangfu had fallen, the benefactor behind him was actually the privy envoy of Dayang (Fu Gong), who was known as the "two sheep in the inner city".

Therefore, this time he was named to recruit the Anling table thieves, which was actually the result of another power struggle and compromise between the old and new eunuchs in Ouchi; As a person who went to the thieves to proclaim the decree, he also felt that there was a considerable probability of angering the thief leader, so he realized the possibility of martyrdom for the country without luck.

But after coming back alive this time, he had to worry about those opponents of Da Yang's secret, so as to use his useless excuse to re-attack and investigate; So before he came back, he sent someone to hurry up early in the morning and sent a secret letter to his backer as a countermeasure.

However, after traveling all the way, he suddenly found that the person who was guiding him the way, the Yellow Gate envoy, did not take him to the direction of the palace and the provincial eunuch to hand over his life, or to the palace residence of the current actual lord of Ouchi, the eldest father Tian Lingzi;

Instead, accompanied by the expressionless Shence guards, he led him through the small side gate by the Longshou Pond on the east side of the Daming Palace, and came to the east yaya between the Hanyao Gate and the Zhaoxun Gate in front of the Hanyuan Palace. Then he was led up a winding corridor.

At this time, Mu Haogu, who often traveled back and forth between the inner court and the previous dynasty, couldn't help but recognize it, and he was treated outside the public hall dedicated to the prime minister's gallery; In the distance, a faint voice came out, but someone was reading a certain verse back and forth.

"The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. There is a vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs, what a big breath. ”

"This is not an ordinary boast, but it is enough to be called a famous sentence in the world."

"If it is placed on the body of your ministers, then it should be well deserved."

"But this is what a thief leader did, that is, his heart is unpredictable."

"Since he dares to be the first to rejoice in the world, and asks who is the lord of the ups and downs, does not he have the intention of replacing him?"

"This is no longer an ordinary verse.,It's a momentary payment of an iron heart against the chaos of the world.。。 However, its Chinese is exquisite, but it is not as good as the atmosphere and pattern of Luo Binwang's "Seeking Wu Clan" in the early years of the dynasty. ”

"How can this be reasonable, you are comparing my generation to the Zhou puppet dynasty, so where are you putting your ministers publicly."

"These are all subsections, the key is that this man has the best ambition in the world with poetry; How can a mere economic envoy be appeased in life, his desire is difficult to fill. ”

"This is a big danger of stealing the authority of the country, and the princes can continue to turn a deaf ear. If you say anything about the way to appease, you will only laugh at the world. ”

"If you take advantage of the trend, let's entrust it to protect the Tongdu for the Sannan (Annan, Lingnan, Hunan) Festival."

"What kind of argument are you talking about, and where should the court be decent and unified."

"This person can't have come out of nowhere, and he can't be a person who has been born outside the territory for a long time." (Inadvertently guessed the truth)

The prime minister Lu Xiandao, who was surrounded by the upper seat, and his face was a little pale and almost gray.

"It's not an exaggeration to say that there is a vision and pattern of the minister. We should trace the lineage of the prime ministers and the families of the heroes of the past dynasties. ”

"Especially those who have a grudge against the imperial court, and those who have relatives who are separated and live far away are especially suspicious."

"The family of five surnames and seven hopes, it is not easy to let go. As everyone knows, since the beginning of the dynasty, there have been quite inferior generations in the clan, and they have repeatedly refused to be appointed by the imperial court. Why don't you know if there will be a secret envoy to fight the children of the world? ”

As a result, at this moment, the party hall became silent and silent; And Mu Haogu, who walked to the door with difficulty, doubled down in a cold sweat; Even if he has been known as Yang Shumi for a long time according to the inner court, he can also hear the meaning of "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended to be Pei Gong".

If you want to say that the most famous family of five surnames and seven hopes in the government and the opposition, isn't it Zheng Jin, who was born in Xingyang Zheng's Chenggao Fang lineage and is known as the contemporary "Prime Minister of Saving Time".

The huge relationship between this and the turbulent waves that came with it, even if Mu Haogu held the Dayang Privy Envoy as a backer, he didn't want to hear and know, let alone participate in it.

However, there was no way back for him at the moment.

"The official of Mu Nei has come just in time, and he will tell us about the situation of the envoy against the false thief."

Prime Minister Lu Xian's somewhat uncertain tone sounded in the room at the right time.

"As far as I know, this original proposal outside the Zhao'an Mountains was also advocated by Zheng Xianggong... And Wang (Duo) Zhaofan seems to have made a special trip to spy on it. ”

And everyone present, regardless of their status, couldn't help but gasp again on the spot.

Lu Xianggong, who led the court, planned to learn from the Fa, and his ancestor who was nicknamed "Dog-faced Prime Minister" and "Lu Tuzi" and would repay him - Lu Qi, a cool official and powerful minister; It's not enough to chase and fight, and I'm going to do the thing of cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots.
