Hou Pingpan was slightly stunned, and took back the letter: "It's not that Cui Xiang can't suppress Xia Xiang, but Xia Xiang acts tactfully, and speaks without leakage......

"It's just a trivial matter of sesame mung beans, and the prime minister is also too careful, isn't it too much trouble?" The Star King waved his hand disapprerovingly, "If Liu Xie and the others can't even handle this little thing, there is no need for them to be in charge of the business of Zhending. ”

"Your Highness, please listen to what I say......" Hou Pingpan smiled knowingly, "With Xia Xiang alone, naturally he can't compete with Cui Xiang and Liu Xie, he now has a lot of help around him, in addition to Zhending County Lieutenant, Tou Catcher and Ma Qingyuan, Xu Wangshan, there are also Lian Ruohan and Lu Zhiyue." ”

"Lian Ruohan? Good times? A woman, a businessman, or the daughter of the defection of the Qinghe Cui family, why be afraid? What about Lu Zhiyue? The Fanyang Lu family has declined, and even the Cui family, the Zheng family and the Li family are inferior, not to mention that the four major families have been in decline for a long time. "The Star King has no good impression of the Gate Valve Family, and the Imperial Power has always disliked the Gate Valve Family, because the Gate Valve Family has always been the biggest threat to the imperial power.

"If it was in the past, when the emperor was in the prime of spring and autumn, the imperial power was powerful, the four seas surrendered, and the four great families were not worth mentioning, but the current situation is very different, and the imperial power is sluggish. Although the four great families have declined, they are still local forces that cannot be ignored, with both financial resources and military strength, and each of them has someone who is an official in the court. If His Royal Highness does not rely on the power of the four great families, he will inevitably be used by King Jing and King Qing......" Hou Pingpan patiently tried to persuade the Star King, "If Your Highness wants to gain the world, you must not only get the help of civil officials, but also have military attachés to follow, and also borrow the financial resources of the four great families to use it, in case of a war, the position of the four great families is extremely critical." ”

The Star King pondered for a moment and nodded: "What Hou Xianggong said makes a lot of sense, and this king has been taught." Among the four major families, now that the Cui family and King Jing are on good terms, the Li family, the Zheng family and the Lu family have unclear attitudes, can the prime minister have a plan? ”

"Whether it is the emperor returning to heaven safely, or encountering an accident in Zhending, or raising troops to force the palace, the four great families will not stand idly by, for them, changing the dynasty is the best opportunity to rise again." Hou Pingpan understands the four great families more thoroughly than anyone else, because he was born in a civilian family, he has always looked up to the family, and in the mystery of the family, there is awe and disdain, "Therefore, whether it is fighting the world or sitting in the world, if you use the power of the four great families, you will be like a tiger with wings." If you are blocked by the four great families, you will get half the result. ”

"Third brother, the relationship between the younger brother and the Taiyuan Li family is not bad, Hou Xianggong has a lot of dealings with the Zheng family and the Lu family, only the Cui family ......" King Yun thought thoughtfully, "The Cui family who is good friends with the eldest brother is the Qinghe Cui family, and the Boling Cui family can be used by me." ”

"His Royal Highness the Cloud King is wise." Hou Pingpan lost no time in sending a sycophant, "Although the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan are the same family, they are two branches, Cui He, the head of the Qinghe Cui family, and Cui Bi, the head of the Boling Cui family, both have the ambition to revive the Cui family, since Cui He has fallen to King Jing, Cui Bi can only choose His Royal Highness the Star King." I don't bother Your Highness about this matter, I have already sent someone to send a letter to Boling, inviting Cui Bi to come to the capital to see him. ”

"So...... Very good. "The Star King is overjoyed," Taiyuan Li's family, Fanyang Lu's family, Xingyang Zheng's family, Hou Xianggong and the fifth brother should also move around more. The four great families may not be the same mind. ”

"Yes." Hou Pingpan crossed his hand and saluted, his attitude was respectful, and he smiled slightly, "The affairs of the four great families, it should not be a problem for me and King Yun to come forward." However, the matter of Dong Xian's murder case has to bother His Royal Highness the Star King to spend more thoughts. ”

Xingwang frowned slightly: "Why did you go back to Xia Xiang again?" Could it be that the little Xia Xiang is more troublesome than the four great families? ”

"I'm afraid that's true." Hou Pingpan's expression was much more solemn, "Your Highness doesn't know that the murderer of Dong Xian's murder case tried by Xia Xiang is Fu Ke......"

"Who is Dong Xian? Who is Fu Ke? The Star King thought about it for a while, and couldn't remember who Fu Ke was, he was a high-ranking prince, so naturally he wouldn't know about a ruffian in a small county town more than 600 miles away from the capital.

Dong Xian is a wealthy businessman in Shile County, who is in charge of the granary and grain business in Shile County, and has a good friendship with Chengtianqing in Shile County. Fu Ke is an unemployed vagrant in Shile County, usually idle, rampant in the township, bullying men and women, and is a big scoundrel. ”

The Star King yawned a lot, and was not interested in listening to it any longer: "Such a trivial matter, Xia Xiang will be tried on trial, what's the trouble?" ”

Hou Pingpan said patiently: "Dong Xian's murder case is a case within a case, and it is also Pei Shuozhang's incompetence and unwillingness to take over the case, so Xia Xiang, who passed through Shile County to really take office, picked up a big bargain. Pei Shuozhang is really mediocre, and he actually missed a great opportunity by not accepting Dong Xian's murder case in order to cope with the assessment of the officials. Dong Xian's death is not only related to His Royal Highness's layout in Zhending Mansion, but also to Cui Xiang's future, related to Wu Yidong, the forbidden army stationed in Zhending Mansion, and may even involve the Boling Cui clan......"

"......" Rao is Star King has experienced countless winds and waves, and he couldn't help but gasp and be surprised, "Dong Xian and Fu Ke are just unknown juniors, how can they implicate so many characters, what is going on?" ”

Hou Pingpan sighed: "Your Highness, this matter is a long story, let me talk slowly......"

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the guests in the living room outside have walked a lot one after another, King Jing, King Qing and King Jian are still there, and the three of them not only rarely appear at the same time, but what is even rarer is that the three of them take the initiative to drink with each of the guests. King Jing and King Qing are both massive, and the two of them drank several liters of wine without the slightest drunkenness, but they saw that Wang was swaying, and they were obviously not supported.

At the beginning, everyone was still proud of drinking with King Jing and King Qing, but slowly they all came back to their senses, how did they think about it. When I came back, I remembered that the official Shangshu Chai Shipage left early by getting drunk, and everyone woke up when they were almost drunk, King Jing and King Qing clinked glasses with everyone one by one, not because they really wanted to drink with everyone, but because they wanted to take the opportunity to remember everyone and see who attended the birthday banquet of the Star King.

Later, more sharp-eyed people such as Zhang Yinong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, found that when King Jing and King Qing were toasting, he saw that Wang was secretly writing down something with a pen on the side, and he was shocked into a cold sweat. Okay, on the black roster of King Jing and King Qing, I'm afraid I won't have a good life.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Yinong used the second excuse that there was something at home and slipped away.

There are also many people with general eyesight like Zhang Yinong, such as Fu Xianfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Shen Fuming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Shide, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, but the three of them did not leave, but sat firmly on the Diaoyutai with a calm look. The three of them spoke in private, since they decided to take refuge in the Star King, they were not afraid that King Jing and King Qing would wear small shoes, judging from the current momentum, the possibility of the Star King taking over the throne was much greater than that of King Jing and King Qing, so ...... Afraid of what. can't be as timid as a mouse like Chai Shipage, nor can he want to be left and right like Zhang Yinong.

The main and deputy positions of the six departments and Jiuqing, and then left some one after another, some because they found out that something was wrong, and they didn't want to stay and become a bird, and some because the rain was getting heavier and heavier, no matter who left, King Jing and King Qing got up to see each other, just like the masters of the Star King's Mansion. When the rain gradually became rain, suddenly a thunderclap exploded in the sky, shaking a few times, and the pillars creaked a few times.

Si Tian Jian Wei Qiang Zheng clinked glasses with the king, and when the thunder sounded, his hand shook, and the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered. He suddenly changed color, threw down and saw the king, ran out, stood under the dripping eaves and looked up at the sky, after a while, his voice trembled slightly and said: "Thunder and lightning are yang, the five elements are gold, and the thunder belongs to the oriental wood." In autumn, everything is slaughtered, the yang energy is harvested and the yin energy rises, and the thunder is the reason why the yang energy rises. In autumn, the yang energy is not collected, and everything is not hidden in winter. The autumn thunder is a battle between gold and wood, and I am afraid that it will be in arrears next year. ”

"Is it just a lack of revenue?" King Jing didn't know when he came to Wei Qiang's side, holding his beard and looking up at the sky, "Wei Tianjian, you see that the black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it, and that dark cloud is above the palace, shrouding the palace, it is the image of a dragon trapped in the shallows. ”

Wei Qiang's face changed: "The villain doesn't know what His Highness means by this." ”

"One day, the dragon will get water, turn over the river and pour the sea back...... Wei Tianjian, there are rumors among the people, thunder in autumn, and thieves everywhere. King Jing laughed, turned around and left, "Don't be taken advantage of by thieves and steal things, haha." ”

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, most of them did not bring umbrellas before traveling, so they asked their subordinates to go back to get umbrellas.

Anyway, it was still early, someone withdrew the banquet, served tea, and everyone sat around to drink tea and chat, chanting poems and enjoying the rain, but it was not unpleasant.

Someone proposed to use the scenery to compose a poem, and everyone applauded. Fu Xianfeng, the secretary of the military department, was the first to compose two lines of poetry: "When the rain drops thousands of mangrove trees, the autumn wind blows yellow willow branches." ”

"It's not appropriate, this poem is used to describe the spring rain is good, there is joy, the autumn wind and autumn rain are sad, and there is more sadness to meet the occasion." Shen Fuming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, shook his head and also composed a poem, "The pavilion is idle and there is bamboo and autumn, and the mountains are quiet and there are no waters......"

"It's not right either." Li Shide, the head of the household department, shook his head again and again, "Although there is autumn but there is no autumn sadness, and it is too idle, there is - there is no intention that the north wind flowers have been gone, and there is idle autumn Yan Fei Nanfei." ”

"Okay." The crowd applauded.

Even King Jing and King Qing nodded again and again, admiring the strong and secret autumn mood in Li Shide's poems.

"The autumn rain was innocently included in the poem, and the people were fortunate not to be idle. There is no trace of the passage of time, and there are dreams and dreams that are cold. Before everyone applauded, suddenly a person's voice came from the corner, the voice was generous and tragic, which was in line with the sad autumn and sad rain at this time.

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed, the poem is a good poem, but the cynicism in the poem made everyone feel like they had been slapped in the face. This person's poem is obviously a satire on the fact that everyone here has nothing to do, regardless of the suffering of the people, and only knows how to sing poems against the wind and snow.

Who is so bold to beat to death a dozen second- and third-grade officials present here with a stick! So ignorant of the sky and the earth, so arrogant!

In addition to a few great Shangshu, there are five people in Jiuqing here, and almost the most powerful group of people among the hundred officials are here, not to mention King Jing, King Qing and King Jian.

Everyone looked for prestige, but the person who recited the poem dared to act boldly, stood out from the corner, came to the middle, made a circle, and smiled coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the servant Shi Teng Zhengyuan in the palace of the lower officials." ”

In fact, there is no need for Teng Zhengyuan to introduce himself, many people here have already recognized him as the famous hedgehog Yu Shi Teng Zhengyuan. Fu Xianfeng snorted and raised his eyes to the sky: "It turned out to be Teng Hedgehog, what's the matter, who do you want to stab today?" ”

The crowd laughed.

Teng Zhengyuan's face remained unchanged, and he gave Fu Xianfeng a salute: "Thank you Fu Shangshu for giving me the name, the lower officials will be named hedgehog from now on, and they will also be proud of hedgehogs." ”

The crowd laughed again.

Fu Xianfeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "So, do you want to be an official today?" Come, this official has rough skin and thick meat, and he is not afraid of you, a hedgehog, even if he lets the horse come. ”

"Xia Guan is not targeting Fu Shangshu." Teng Zhengyuan did not have the slightest intention of timidity, but held his head high, his eyes swept from everyone's body, and said loudly, "Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the new law has displaced the people in various places, and more than 100,000 households have become landless and displaced people every year. ”

Teng Zhengyuan's words, Zheng Zheng is like the sound of iron, the sound is striking in the ears of everyone, although it is harsh, but every sentence is true, among the people present, some people bow their heads in shame, some sneer, some people sneer, some people contempt it, and some people disagree.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

Fu Xianfeng slapped his hands three times and chuckled: "What a passionate remark, Teng Yushi, what do you mean, except for you, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all idle wine bags and rice bags?" It's all a corpse vegetarian meal, and it doesn't take its place in politics anymore? How do you know that we are here to chant poems against each other, and we don't have the heart to worry about the country and the people? How do you know that when the country is in crisis, we will not stand up and sacrifice our lives for the country? ”

Although Teng Zhengyuan was only a seventh-grade imperial historian, and there was a huge difference between him and the second-grade Shangshu, he was not afraid to meet Fu Xianfeng's gaze, and said generously: "When the country is in danger, how can you Shangshu ministers serve the country?" Do you go into battle to kill the enemy, or use the pen as a knife to crusade against the enemy? Nothing to do and talk about the heart, it is not enough to report the king when he dies, and it is better to work hard to rejuvenate the country than to die in danger. ”

As soon as Teng Zhengyuan finished speaking, he bowed to everyone: "The lower official will leave here." Ladies and gentlemen, today's affairs, the lower officials will be the emperor of the book, and you will be impeached for dereliction of duty. ”

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Teng Zhengyuan flicked his sleeves and strode into the rain. The rain was so heavy that he had neither an attendant nor an umbrella, and his body was drenched in a moment, but he still walked away unhappily and slowly. After a while, the back disappeared into the vast rain, lonely and stubborn.

"Teng hedgehog, what a hedgehog." King Jing nodded and smiled, turned sideways and asked King Qing, "Fourth brother, he and Xia Xiang are Jinshi in the same year, I heard that he also has a friendship with Xia Xiang?" ”

King Qing nodded and said, "Although Teng Hedgehog is arrogant, he is strong and easy to break. The mouth is like iron, its knees, its gall, and its bones are all like iron, and it is really a veritable history of the four irons. ”

"The Four Iron Imperial History? Okay, this king will give him a pair of words of the Four Iron Imperial History, I hope he will always be an iron bone in the future. King Jing admired Teng Zhengyuan's temper very much, but he also knew that Teng Zhengyuan was too upright, and he was afraid that he would have to go through some hardships.

Thinking of something again, King Jing asked, "Where did Cao Shujun and Jin Jia and Ye Muping go?" ”

"Most likely I went to the Guanxin Pavilion...... Lian Ruohan's mansion. King Qing smiled slightly, "Lian Niangzi is a strong woman, and she is indeed a good match for Xian'er." ”

"It's okay not to mention it." King Jing waved his hand, "This king hopes that Xian'er can marry the princess of Mongolia." ”

The rain gradually stopped, and everyone said goodbye and left, standing at the gate of the Star King's Mansion, and seeing everyone away with the Star King, King Jing, King Qing and King Jian also said goodbye and left.

After the rain, the capital reveals a trace of cold air in the freshness. This is especially true of the Guanxin Pavilion with few people and a wide area, and in the living room, there are a few more screens to shield from the cool autumn breeze. Fortunately, although the Guanxin Pavilion is wide, the layout is exquisite, the living room is not too large, but it does not seem empty, and it does not feel annoying in the autumn breeze.

In the living room, Lian Ruohan was gently holding his hands and making tea for a few people. Cao Shuli gently shook a small fan on the side to stir up the fire.

The tea is the best dragon group Shengxue, the teapot is also the best silver kettle, and the teacup is the favorite building lamp of the Daxia people. Only Ye Muping had a Dehua white porcelain cup in front of him.

After the autumn rains, the sky is as blue as a wash, which is refreshing. The air is also very fresh, and on the table in front of the screen, there is a lotus incense burner with sandalwood lingering.

"Beiyin Mountain is a place of pure yin and no yang, so the mountain does not grow grass, the peak does not insert the sky, the mountain does not visit guests, the hole does not accept clouds, and the stream does not flow water." Ye Muping's voice was soothing like flowing water, "There are nine heavens in the sky, and there are nine earths in the earth, "Taixuan" says, nine heavens, one is Zhongtian, two is Xiantian, three is Congtian, four is more heaven, five is Chaotian, six is Kuotian, seven is Xiantian, eight is Shentian, and nine is Chengtian. The earth has nine layers, also known as nine shades. Nine is the meaning of heavy nine, so there are 2918 hells behind Yin Mountain. ”

"In "Liezi Tangwen", it is said that the east of the Bohai Sea does not know hundreds of millions of miles, there are big ravines, but there is only a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom under it, and the name is called the ruins." Ye Muping took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "The legend of Guiru is that it is a bottomless valley in the sea, and it is the place where all waters converge. The world, including the rivers of the universe, and even the water in the heavenly galaxy, finally converge into this primordial and mysterious bottomless pit. But the miraculous water in the ruins does not increase or decrease in the slightest because of this. ”
