At this time, it was already raining outside the inn.

The plantain in the hollow lotus window swayed gracefully in the rain and mist.

The opposite post station began to sing and dance.

The passing officers who lived in the inn were enjoying their extravagant and elegant nightlife.

There may be the sound of a woman's groan, or the sound of a man's laughter.

Only Yan Heng and Xiong Zhi County are quiet and terrible.

One table, one bed, three stools and one lamp.

Xiao Yan Song consciously got up and closed the window to prevent the rain from spilling in, and then sat back obediently, holding his cheeks and pouting, glancing at his brother Yan Heng.

He didn't know how long his brother would stay here, just now this mentor Xiong Zhixian was very angry, and he spoke loudly, almost yelling at his brother Yan Heng.

But his brother didn't seem to be angry.

Xiao Yan Song didn't understand, he sat quietly while silently reciting the ancient text while listening to the next conversation between his brother and his mentor Xiong Zhixian.

Xiong Zhixian was very depressed, so after listening to Yan Heng's outrageous bad idea, he didn't suppress the mania in his heart, and shouted a few words angrily from Yan Heng.

Yan Heng was not angry, he could understand the feelings of a second-class jinshi who had been living in a small place and had been a county magistrate for six years when he faced the ending of the county order that was about to be made for another three years, and it was inevitable that he would lose his temper.

"The teacher calms his anger", Yan Heng consciously got up and made a cup of tea, holding it in front of Xiong Xiu with both hands, a cup of tea may be able to calm down his teacher a little, as long as he calms down, he can continue to talk.

Xiong Xiu took the tea and didn't speak, just looking out the window with his wandering eyes.

"The student has inquired, and the one who stays in the inn is the road platform of the sub-patrol road, but he is from the top three with the Jinshi, and although the teacher is now only a Qipinzhi County, the future is set above him."

Yan Heng took over and continued: "The student knows that it is taboo for the court to impeach officials who are not officials, especially their own officials, which is more or less suspected of committing the following crimes, but what the student means is that although the name of the teacher is to participate in the impeachment, it is actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Xiong Xiu looked at Yan Heng, this twelve-year-old boy had deep eyes, and there was always a feeling that he couldn't see through, he didn't scold Yan Heng for not knowing the current affairs for no reason, but put down the teacup, got up and came out of the window, looking at the rain flowing down the eaves, in order to calm the boredom in his heart.

"Tell me, how to kill two birds with one stone?"

"The teacher participates in the impeachment of the government, not so much as the impeachment but the bright of his hole cards, the teacher, you have the same brother in Hanlin, and there are friends in the same year who are the provincial governors, you do not participate in the impeachment, presumably the prefect has forgotten your hole cards;

If you participate in the impeachment of the prefect of the king, Li Hanlin (Li Dongyang) will naturally do a personal favor to hand over your impeachment to the emperor, and with the wisdom of His Majesty today, he will not sit idly by, and will definitely blame the provincial Li Xun to try this case, Li Xun is the same year as his teacher, can the Wang prefect not panic after knowing it? ”

Yan Heng knew that his current mentor Xiong Zhixian was in a hurry, he had no idea, and he didn't know how to play with many good cards in his hand, so he could only help his mentor ponder and ponder.

Xiong Zhixian couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this: "Although the idea is good, it is not well considered, there are people in the officialdom, but do you think that there is no one in his prefect's mansion?" He is his uncle in the matter, and he is a Shu person, and he has a friendship with the first assistant Wan'an and the great uncle Zhou Hongmo; Even if I go to the Imperial Palace, they will not let the Provincial Inspector try the case according to the Imperial History, after all, everyone knows that Li Inspector is my friend in the same year. ”

"Teacher, don't forget that Li Zi Province in Shanglin Yuan is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, this person is quite favored, and he misses his hometown very much, the safety of the people of Jiangxi, he can't care, and it is impossible for him to sit back and watch a corrupt official act as a tiger in his hometown, and this Li Taichang (and Taichang Siqing) failed in the imperial examination, and hates the behavior of corrupt officials and corrupt officials the most, so the teacher will definitely help you."

As soon as Yan Heng said this, Xiong Zhixian directly flicked his sleeves: "Ridiculous, you let this official make friends with that minister, even if this official is a county magistrate for a lifetime, he will never be in the company of such flatterers!" ”

Yan Heng was quite speechless about this, his own teacher is really okay, and he wants to be promoted and make a fortune but he wants to clean himself, which is the same as thinking of a bitch and setting up an archway, and he wants to look good on the face.

But now there is no way, who made him his mentor, and the fate of himself and Xiao Yan Song was also tied to his carriage, so Yan Heng had to explain kindly: "It's not that you want the teacher to make friends with this person, the teacher doesn't need to make friends at all, this Li Taichang is just a handy person who will help you, he is for his Jiangxi Shimin, which is for you, if you don't operate, Dongchang and Yanguan will not find out what you have to do with him Li Taichang." ”

After Yan Heng said so much, Xiong Zhixian finally had some intentions, thinking that if it was really as Yan Heng said, he participated in the impeachment of the prefect Wang's mansion, then it was his friend Li Xunji who tried the case.

As the same year of Li who patrolled the imperial history, he had the power to supervise the local officials, prisons, taxes, military affairs, anti-theft, etc., and made decisions on small matters and reported major matters, and his power was not under the governor of a province, but above the second division of the cloth, and his power was not heavy, and the prefect was not afraid of it when the time came.

"Let's talk about the second use of killing two birds with one stone", Xiong Zhixian found that although his student was young, he still had some insight into officialdom, and his tone was more gentle.

"The second use is naturally to use this to make Jane in the emperor's heart!"

As soon as Yan Heng's words came out, Xiong Zhixian's eyes lit up, who doesn't want to be valued by the emperor, after all, the emperor is the master of the world, as long as he is valued by the emperor, Qingyun will no longer be the flower in the mirror.

The next words involved the affairs of the emperor's family, and now that Dongchang's minions are all over the world, it is naturally impossible to blindly arrange the emperor's family, so Yan Heng gave Xiao Yan Song a look before he said, Xiao Yan Song was very smart, understood what his brother meant, and quietly opened the door and went out to poke his head before he shook his head to Yan Heng after coming back, which means that there is no one outside.

"At present, Wan Guifei has been seriously ill, and the time is not long, the prince's throne has been stabilized, and His Majesty often says that he is sick because of the approaching limit of the concubine, and the students dare to guess that the dynasty will change, and the new emperor will ascend the throne within a few years;

Historically, the new emperor has not been determined to reform when he ascends the throne, and he has to do something, and the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the officialdom naturally wants to change the blood, promote the backwards, depose the old ministers, and control the government is what the new monarch must do;

Whoever is the most active at the moment will be the most remembered by His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remembers, the new emperor will not worry about not being promoted by the new emperor when he ascends the throne in the future.

What's more, His Majesty will also train a few confidants for his son today, so at this time, as long as the disobedient person is honest with the country, although he will be demoted and deprived of office, it basically has nothing to do with the worry of his life, it is to provide an opportunity for the prince to ascend the throne and resume his post in the future. Wang Shu, the secretary of the military department, is an example!

In other words, the teacher should do more important things to ask for the people's lives now, so that the superiors can see that even if he is framed by the villain, whether he is dismissed from office or exiled for 3,000 miles, his life can be saved, and he will definitely become the emperor's confidant when he ascends the throne! In this case, even if the impeachment fails now, it doesn't matter if you end up in an official position. ”

After Xiong Xiu listened to Yan Heng's words, his mood began to be a little excited, he admitted that what Yan Heng said was reasonable, these days he also learned some information from the letters of several friends in the court, and also found that more and more people have impeached Wan An and other ministers recently, but the punishment is getting lighter and lighter, and now think about what Yan Heng said, it is indeed reasonable.

Xiong Xiu just didn't expect Yan Heng to have such insight at a young age, thinking that if this person becomes an officialdom for a few more years, I'm afraid that no one will be able to match his city government and foresight.
