This, how is this possible?

The face just now, he was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, it was a face that haunted him day and night!

Yue Ran!

Rubbing his eyes, he looked into the crowd again, but only saw a heavy guard of honor and a group of maids wriggling like clouds, but the face that flashed away was as absent as the horns of an antelope.

Su Baiyi was sure that he would not be mistaken.

That's Yue Ran!

Suddenly, I thought of what Yue Ran told him a long time ago, saying that there was a sister in the palace.

Could this woman be her sister?

Well, I'll ask when I get home.

Su Baiyi raised his head, bowed deeply to Zhu Youzhen, and then said goodbye.

When I left, I wasn't in a very good mood.

After so many days in Beijing, not only did he successfully brainwash Zhu Youzhen, but he also scolded a group of civil and military officials alone, and he also had the upper hand. But he just had the upper hand, and Su Baiyi didn't think he had won.

It was good to take out the photos and deceive the ancients, and he turned John Tang into a sieve, proving the correctness of his doctrine, but that's all. The court is still the world of scholars, and the scholars in the world still read the way of Confucius and Mencius, and their own scientific way wants to gain a foothold in this world, and the road is still very long.

When he came, he and Cao Huachun set off directly from Kaifeng Mansion, and now Yu Tong and Cao Huachun, two unrighteous guys, hurriedly ran to Taiping Mansion to survey the mine, so when he left, Su Baiyi was destined to be alone. If the eunuchs are counters, well, there are three.

In addition to Su Baiyi, there were two eunuchs in the parting car.

Here I have to thank Zhu Youzhen for his magnanimity, in addition to sending two ink treasures at the time of parting, he also sent a very weighty canonization decree to Yu Mutong's wife.

"It's hard work for the two fathers-in-law, let's go!" Su Baiyi didn't have much to do, and as soon as he lay down in the car, the carriage started in an instant, and the hard car board drove on the frozen street, jolting and trembling, just like the diesel tractor trailer of a farmer's uncle who had been riding in a certain time when he was a child in his previous life.

It hadn't gone far when the carriage was stopped.

Su Baiyi lazily wrapped the stall on his body, opened the car window and saw Xu Xiake in his forties with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xu, is this?"

"Su Zi ......" Xu Xiake saluted him solemnly, and then approached the car and said: "I learned that Su Zi returned to his hometown today, Xu came uninvited, I don't know if I can rub Mr. Cheng's carriage." ”

"Ah......" Su Baiyi was slightly stunned, then patted the hard carriage and said with a smile: "Naturally, no problem, if you don't panic, come up." ”

"Excuse me!" Xu Xiake's black face showed a simple smile, and he stepped the small burden he was carrying over his shoulders, and he was not polite, turned over and got into the carriage, looking at Su Baiyi with a sparkling look in his eyes.

Su Baiyi touched his nose and said secretly: Look at his look is wrong, his squinting appearance, could it be that Xu Xiake has a penchant for masculinity in addition to traveling around the world? If that's the case, you have to find a way to drive this thing down, although Lao Tzu is handsome and chic, and the big girl can accept it, so forget it.

The key is still an old man.

"Thank you, sir!" Xu Xiake continued to laugh, threw the satchel on his shoulder in the corner of the carriage, squeezed it towards the frightened Su Baiyi, and said, "I heard that Mr. is building the Yuyuan, Xu is not talented, and he also wants to contribute." ”

"Ah......" Su Baiyi's brain couldn't keep up with Xu Xiake's jump, just now I thought that this product was going to pick up soap, why did he talk about the matter of Yuyuan in an instant, and blurted out: "It's not picking up soap?" ”

"What kind of soap to pick up?" Xu Xiake frowned slightly, and continued: "Xu is not talented, I know that Su Zi is a talented person, I am willing to worship Su Zi's disciples, I don't know if Mr. can take him in?" ”

Oh......

Su Baiyi's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and he finally understood why this thing was smiling so obscenely just now.

It turned out that there was a request for people.

But is this the kind of laughter that asks for help?

"Yuyuan welcomes people of insight from all over the world, and it is indispensable." Su Baiyi was immediately overjoyed.

It seems that the anger of the civil and military forces in the Jingshi and the Manchu Dynasty still has some effect.

After knowing that Xu Xiake was not here to pick up soap, his attitude immediately warmed up, and he began to talk to him freely. Although Su Baiyi didn't dare to say that he had traveled all over the world, he had been to a lot of places in his previous life, and his knowledge and vision were far from being comparable to Xu Xiake, a person who measured the earth with his feet, and after three sentences, he completely conquered the dark man in front of him.

The carriage continued on the cold and hard streets, and after leaving the confines of the palace, the streets became more and more lively, and the flow of people continued.

A fat guy stopped the car again.

Yuan Shu's eyes were full of despair, and after seeing Su Baiyi, he stood next to the carriage and said anxiously: "It's broken, it's bad, it's bad, it's not good." ”

Su Baiyi's head darkened, he reached out and touched his head, and wondered, "What's wrong?" Dong Shibo fainted again? Let you go and give him artificial respiration? ”

Yuan Shu's face was originally anxious, but after hearing Su Baiyi's words, he suddenly changed into endless nausea, and his stomach immediately tumbled and almost vomited into the carriage.

"You...... It's no wonder that the big guys don't like you, which pot doesn't open and which pot is mentioned! ”

"What's going on!" Su Baiyi was stunned for a moment, and then said with an understanding: "Your concubine was slept with?" ”

"Poof...... Yuan Shu's eyes were about to ooze blood, and he looked at Su Baiyi unkindly: "How long do you have such a brain, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a gentleman." He looked at Xu Xiake in the car again and said, "You get out of the car, 100,000 are in a hurry!" ”

Su Baiyi got out of the car and followed Yuan Shu to a remote place, and Yuan Shu stretched out two short and thick fingers with a worried face: "Both things are not good for you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The first one!" Yuan Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Didn't the emperor order you to promote the railway, the governor of railway affairs?" ”

"That's right!" Su Baiyi nodded.

This matter has been in trouble for a day, the cabinet does not agree, the emperor can only issue a decree, and after the emperor issued a decree, the ministers still do not forgive, first on the platform, Zhu Youzhen was thrown out of the noon gate, and then ran to Zhang Zhiji's British Mansion to make trouble, and was dispersed by Tiqi.

"Yellow!"

"Yellow?" Su Baiyi was stunned.

"yes, at least not yet!" Yuan Shu showed a rare sad expression on his face: "There is a governor of the General Administration Department who is my father's protégé, and he just revealed the news to me that His Majesty's two decrees have been returned!" ”

"Seal ......" Su Baiyi's face turned dark after hearing this.

The General Administration Division, like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Guozijian, the Hanlin Academy, and the Qin Tianjian, is a large institution second only to the six ministries, and the functions and powers of the General Administration Department are very simple, simply put, it is to be in charge of the internal and external chapters to refute the matter, and then simply put, it is to pass through and down.

In the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and thirteen provinces, not all officials are qualified to perform directly on the platform, and not all of them can be casually placed on the cabinet desk.

The local officials had something to do, and it was inconvenient for them to go to Beijing to meet the emperor in person, so they could only write a recital.

All the thirteen provinces will eventually be brought together in one place, which is the General Administration.

Then, the General Administration Department screened and categorized to identify which ones were handed directly to the cabinet and which ones were to be presented to the Son of Heaven in front of Chen on the platform hall.

This is the upper pass, of course, and the issuance.

For example, when the emperor's decree is to be issued, in addition to the person who receives the decree, the secretary is also responsible for issuing the content of the decree to the local government, so that the magistrates of the whole world will know about it.

But in addition to these two functions, there is also a painful right: to seal and return.

Of course, the seal also involves the face of the heavenly family, and the general administration department does not have full authority to seal it back, and it also needs to unite the six departments to give the cabinet scholars, but formally speaking, the last procedure for the return is completed by the general administration department.

Whether it is the head of the General Administration, the six departments or the cabinet scholars, it is impossible to casually return the decree, because it involves the emperor's face and dignity.

But it can't be denied that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are so good that they can fight with the emperor.

The impact of the civil official group on the imperial power sometimes makes the emperor hate the root of his teeth but is helpless, and many Ming emperors can't cry when they are pitted by the civil official group.

As far as Su Baiyi knows, even if he is as tough as Chongzhen, he has been cheated by civil officials at least twice in history, one is that the emperor wants to reconcile with the Manchurian Tartars, because the stubbornness of the civil official group failed to win a respite for the Ming Dynasty; The second time was when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, the emperor actually wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, but the civil official group continued to pit, and as a result, the Ming Dynasty collapsed.

This is really not good news!

If Zhu Youzhen really doesn't give in, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm.

"What else?" Su Baiyi asked with an unkind face.

"The second thing, more trouble!" Yuan Shu said: "Someone is going to beat you!" ”

"Beat me?" Su Baiyi nodded his nose in a daze.

"Yes, it's you, Su Baiyi!"

"Why?"

"You should have asked me who was going to beat you first!"

"Who's going to beat me?"

"Ministers!" Yuan Shu smiled evilly: "This news is highly confidential, it is said that many officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Sections have joined forces and are waiting outside the Yongding Gate of the outer city early in the morning, just waiting for you." ”

"Outside the Yongding Gate?"

"Yes!"

"How many?" Su Baiyi had palpitations, he was blocked at Zhang Zhiji's house last time, if there were more people this time, wouldn't he be beaten to death by others.

A traverser who was beaten to death by hundreds of officials of the Ming Dynasty, how aggrieved this is!

"I don't know!" Yuan Shu said: "You can try it yourself, beating you is not the goal, the purpose is to snatch the Zhongzhi from your hands." Why don't you go through another door, and let's not go to Yongding Gate? ”

Although the emperor's holy decree was returned by the General Political Division, Su Baiyi still had an original copy in his hand, and if he didn't get it back, it would definitely cause trouble to the civil officials.

"No, I'll go to Yongding Gate!" Su Baiyi smiled gloomily, looked at the dog meat stall not far away, and said with a smile: "You want to beat me?" Hmph, then I'll give them a big gift bag. ”
