"Wait a minute, Master Su, wait a minute!" Zhang Jun quickly ran to report.

A minute later, Xu Guangqi dragged his slightly obese body out of his room, looked at Su Baiyi with a smile on his face, and said, "Oh, why is our little Zhuge here!" ”

Su Baiyi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Xu Ge is polite, you just let your subordinates say it, and you even went out in person?" Flattered, he hugged Xu Guangqi's arm, and then bowed and saluted.

Xu Guangqi smiled: "No need, you are now also a second-class member of the imperial court, or the Pingdong Bo of His Majesty's imperial seal, speaking of which we have the same official title, but your kid is now a lord, and if you want to salute, the old man will salute you." ”

"Hey, what about my Pavilion Boss, don't make fun of the juniors, if you really let you salute me, I won't be smashed by the people in the capital when I turn around?" Su Baiyi smiled bitterly, and his face was just right.

"Let's go, go to the old man's room, the old man has a ...... Ahem, Fu Yangchun! ”

"Poof......" The story of Su Baiyi Fu Yangchun is now known in the streets and alleys, and he understands that Xu Guangqi is not deliberately mocking, just a joke between friends, but he still said with a painful face: "Boss, you are saying that, the kid can find a crack in the ground to drill down." ”

"Hahaha!" Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "Why do you bother to find a crack drill in the ground, it's Yu Hui's old horseman, hehe." He smiled narrowly and waved his hand again: "Don't say this, go, go!" ”

Xu Guangqi invited Su Baiyi to his office with a red face.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, the office area of the office is still okay, and the cubicles of his number room are much larger than those of others, not only has a special office area, but also has a lounge of seven or eight square meters at the back, and the outermost is a spacious reception room.

There are very few guests in the cabinet who usually visit, and nine times out of ten this guest room is just a decoration, and today Su Baiyi came and happened to be able to use it.

The two of them sat down in the reception room, and a little servant made a good pot of tea and placed it on the table.

Xu Guangqi personally carried the pot and poured tea for Su Baiyi, and said: "It's not that the old man deliberately entertains you, this Fuyangchun was given to the cabinet by His Majesty, and he is usually reluctant to drink it, but now that you come, there is no other tea here except Fuyangchun." ”

"No problem!" Su Baiyi waved his hand and said, "You also said just now, I am upright, who are you afraid of?" As he spoke, he took a sip of the cup, and sure enough, the tea was fragrant, and his lips and teeth were fragrant after a sip.

"Hmm!" Xu Guangqi also took a sip of tea, the long nails of his left hand intersected, making a clicking sound, lowered his head and put the cup on a few cases, and said: "This time Luo Rucai besieged Guide Mansion, the imperial court is busy sending troops to the four provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jin, and Henan to encircle it, and failed to rescue for a while. ”

"The minister doesn't dare to take credit!" Su Baiyi clasped his hands in the direction of the palace and saluted, and said: "This time the Guide Mansion can be peaceful, in fact, thanks to the desperate protection of the soldiers, and the help of many righteous people, in terms of merit, those soldiers who died for the country have more credit than me." ”

"Haha......" Xu Guangqi stroked his beard and said: "Labor and hard work are naturally different, you don't want to be modest in front of my old man, it should be your credit, and no one can take it away." ”

While he was talking, Min Hongxue, the secretary of the ministry, entered the reception room with a smile on his face, looked at Su Baiyi and said: "Master Su, haha, you are all due to virtue this time, but you have won the praise of Your Majesty. ”

"Oops, Min Ge Lao!" Su Baiyi stood up and saluted, "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

The little guy came over and poured another glass of water, the three of them talked and laughed, and Su Baiyi told some stories that happened when the Guide Mansion was guarding the city, which caused the two bigwigs to be full of emotion.

After a while, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, came together.

Now it's okay, there are only five people in a cabinet, and three people don't count, plus a military secretary.

Under the four giants, Su Baiyi secretly touched the fine sweat on his head.

This Nima, a group of high-ranking officials, is still a bit under pressure.

Su Baiyi saw Zhang Fengyi for the first time, and saw that he was quite tall, he looked like he had a slightly fat belly, his face was white, and the three locks of green beard under his chin looked like a handsome old man.

However, legend has it that the relationship between this historical disaster avoidance stranger and Sun Chengzong is not very good, and it is not too much to say that they are even political enemies, so why are they joining forces today?

Su Baiyi couldn't think of anything when he scratched his head, but Zhang Fengyi spoke first: "Master Su, this morning you ordered someone to send it to the old man of the merit book of the Ministry of War, and you will go back to discuss it with the Ministry of Officials, discuss the specific details of the meritorious reward, and then report it to Your Majesty." ”

Min Hongxue, the secretary of the ministry and the minister, raised his hand and said: "This should be, the soldiers are guarding the Guide Mansion without foreign aid, and under the pressure of 200,000 troops, the old man will naturally not turn a blind eye to this credit." ”

"Hmm!" Su Baiyi arched his hand and said, "Then thank you two adults." ”

"Lord Su!" Zhang Fengyi sniffed and said, "There is another matter today, the old man wants to discuss it with you." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!" Su Baiyi gave up.

At this juncture, Wen Zhenmeng came from outside, looked at everyone suspiciously, and caught a glimpse of Su Baiyi again, his face was slightly unnatural.

Xu Guangqi said: "Hehe, it's okay now, Lord Liu has been away for the past few days, except for him today, the ministers of our cabinet are here, come, come, come, Wen Qi (Wen Zhen Mengzi), Lord Su has just arrived from Guide Mansion, let's listen to how Lord Su dealt with the thieves." ”

Wen Zhenmeng is logically a more upright person in the eyes of people in this era, and his concept is black and white, right is right, and wrong is wrong. The point is, once a stereotype is formed in his mind, it is very difficult to change.

When he first saw Su Baiyi, Su Baiyi gave him the impression that he was wild and uninhibited.

Later, Su Baiyi entered Beijing, and his doctrine had a great impact on the way of Confucius and Mencius, Wen Zhenmeng began to have a very bad feeling towards Su Baiyi at that time, coupled with the slander of his disciples, as well as the collusion of his colleagues, Su Baiyi, a 'disciple of the Mo family', became a demon in his eyes.

Later, when he went to Guide Mansion to ask for railway shares, Su Baiyi sold his fifteen shares at a high price of 18 million taels of silver through wrist operation, while he also sold 15 shares and only sold 7.5 million taels. Of course, Wen Zhenmeng would not admit that he was incompetent, he blamed all this on Su Baiyi's demonic words to confuse the public, grandstanding and capturing the Sacred Heart, and only cleverly drilling into the camp.

Now seeing this outlier sitting in the cabinet and talking about his great achievements in defeating the Caotou King in Guide Mansion in front of the ministers, Wen Zhenmeng couldn't help but feel contempt again.

"Humph!" Wen Zhenmeng snorted coldly, sat down reluctantly, but said in his mouth: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, and they are mixed with manifolds. A small bandit leader, what is there to brag about. Master Su is also a second-class member of the imperial court, and he is in an important position, don't you know that the way of Confucius and Mencius is there, like a sword and a sword, so as to resist the enemy, although everything is easy? Just Luo Rucai, what is the way? ”

Su Baiyi had a sloppy dog expression.

Your sister, the way of Confucius and Mencius is like a sword, and you can use the way of Confucius and Mencius to defend against the enemy?

It's awesome, my brother Di!

Not to mention Su Baiyi, even the rest of the cabinet ministers were surprised.

Is this a Shenma situation?

Wen Zhenmeng saw that Su Baiyi was speechless, his face was slightly pale, and he reached out and took a sip of the teacup.

Su Baiyi shook his head speechlessly, looked at Zhang Fengyi and asked, "What did Master Zhang say just now that he wanted to discuss with the kid?" ”

Zhang Fengyi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took out a shiny Japanese knife from the burden behind him, and put it in front of Su Baiyi and said: "Master Su, this Japanese knife is made by your railway governor Yamen, the old man has looked at it carefully, it is indeed better than the Japanese Japanese Japanese sword, and it is even higher than the weapons used in our Ming army." ”

Su Baiyi's face darkened, and then he smiled bitterly.

This matter really can't be hidden.

"That's right, it's made by my railway yamen!" Su Baiyi picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and said slowly: "When the railway three guards were established, the kid recruited six thousand new troops on the spot, because there were no suitable weapons, I wrote to Your Majesty, and only after Your Majesty's permission did I make this batch of swords." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Fengyi picked up the sword in his hand and put it down, repeated it four or five times, and then sighed deeply and said: "Our Ming Dynasty and the Tartars of Jianzhou have fought for so many years, you come and go, there are losses and wins, but in general, there are more losses and fewer wins. Over the years, not only has he lost the Shenyang central defender, but now it is difficult to defend even the first line of Ningjin and Shanhaiguan. Their cavalry came and went like the wind, like antelopes hanging on their horns, and there was no trace to be found. I mean, if all of us had a sword like this in our hands......"

"Heh......" Su Baiyi waved his hand to interrupt him: "Lord Zhang wants us to make more of these swords for the border army to use?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhang Fengyi looked at Su Baiyi expectantly.

Su Baiyi said with a smile: "The steel needed to make this kind of sword is very rare, last time we made a batch of our railway yamen are already stretched, Lord Zhang asked us to leave the railway everything and not do a special production of sword, isn't this harmful to me?" ”

"Lord Su!" Zhang Fengyi arched his hand very seriously and said: "This is a matter related to the survival of the family and the country, Master Su must not refuse." ”

Su Baiyi continued to wave his hand: "It's not that I excuse myself, but that you, Lord Zhang, are looking for the wrong person." ”

"Finding the wrong person?" Zhang Fengyi asked, "Isn't this sword made by your railway?" ”

"Guide Mansion is a small rural place, and we can only rely on this kind of blade when defending." Su Baiyi said with a serious face: "But the regular army of Daming is different." ”

"What's the difference?" Zhang Fengyi asked.

"You have the way of Confucius and Mencius!" Su Baiyi looked as a matter of course: "The way of Confucius and Mencius derives the righteousness of heaven and earth, like a sword added to the body, so as to resist the enemy, and everything is easy." What is a mere state tartar? Regardless of Wen Zhenmeng's red shock, he was speechless: "If you are not enough, ask Lord Wen for it, Lord Wen is a great Confucian in the world, and this Haoran righteousness must be lacking." ”

"Poof...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! Xu Guangqi choked and couldn't breathe.

Wen Zhenmeng's face turned red, and he slapped the table and got up and said, "Su Baiyi, don't deceive people too much!" ”

"Yo, look at what you said, Lord Wen, when did this governor deceive you?" Su Baiyi showed an innocent expression on his face: "Could it be that what I said just now is wrong?" ”

"You...... You...... You" Of course, Wen Zhenmeng couldn't say that what Su Baiyi said was wrong, otherwise he would have slapped his own ears, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Su Baiyi: "You, it's obviously an old man." ”

"Tut-tut, look at what you said, this truth is talking about you, and it is you who is talking crookedly, and this cabinet is opened by your Wen family, what is right and what is wrong is up to you?" Compared with Wen Zhenmeng's annoyance and anger, Su Baiyi was very indifferent from beginning to end, and after he finished speaking, he didn't forget to elegantly raise his cup and take a sip of tea.

Wen Zhenmeng's face was bruised.

Zhang Fengyi saw that the matter was out of control, so he stood up decisively and said: "Okay, both of them are second-grade masters, so entangled, where is the face of the court?" ”

Su Baiyi added faintly: "Lord Zhang, he is a third grade!" ”

"Poof...... Ahem, cough, cough. Xu Guangqi covered his chest again.

Min Hongxue hurriedly stopped Wen Zhenmeng before he went crazy, and said to Su Baiyi: "Master Su, you have to spare people and spare people, Zhang Shangshu is talking about state affairs, not personal grievances, according to the old man, this knife-making matter, you railway yamen will take it." ”

"Lord Min has lifted Su!" Su Baiyi was unmoved: "What you have is Haoran righteousness, if the kid also sends the sword, isn't this stretching out his old face to others?" Although the surname Su is not from a high background, he does not have this hobby. ”

"Okay!" Wen Zhenmeng raised his hand and threw the cup in his hand on the ground, and said to Min Hongxue: "Lord Min, don't pull me, let the old man teach this ignorant child a lesson." ”

"Accompany you to the end!" Su Baiyi toe slightly, the whole person floated up like air, stood there in a chic manner, and put on an inviting posture with his right hand: "Just let me, a child, comprehend the power of the great avenue of righteousness and righteousness of the adults below." ”

"Shaft, shaft!" Wen Zhenmeng was pinched to the sore spot by him, and kept appreciating Su Baiyi's mouth work, and at the moment, he grabbed Min Hongxue's cup on the table indiscriminately with shame and anger, and threw it out at Su Baiyi.

Su Baiyi was pretending to be forced, with a masterful demeanor, he never expected Wen Zhenmeng to be so unsophisticated, and the dignified ministers even used bricks, so he didn't dodge sadly, and was hit by the flying porcelain cup just hit the forehead, and the blood flowed immediately.

"You old dog, I'm afraid you won't make it!" Su Baiyi was also anxious, his figure floated past Min Hongxue, and when he bent his knees, his right foot hit the Chinese Zhen Meng's crotch fiercely.

Regardless of Wen Zhenmeng's injury, Su Baiyi worked hard, kicked his feet again, and scolded in his mouth: "You damn old dog, fifteen shares of the railway, let you sell seven million taels, why don't you die." That's the blood of the court, that's the hard-earned money of the people in the world, let you, a traitorous old dog, take it to give favors, and a scum like you is also worthy of being a successor of Confucius and Mencius? Master to tell you the truth, the fifteen shares of the railway you sold, our railway governor Yamen does not recognize a single one, what do you like! ”

In the final analysis, Su Baiyi's hatred for Wen Zhenmeng is only about railway shares.

"Oh...... Oh...... Oh......" Wen Zhenmeng was so pained that his body arched into a hemp shrimp, and he shrank to the ground with his crotch in his arms.

At this moment, Wang Chengen, the celebrant and supervisor, suddenly ran into the cabinet, and saw Wen Zhenmeng lying on the ground, Su Baiyi's face was covered with blood, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "What's the matter?" ”
