Dantu County, inside the inn.

Chen Yu read Yang Yiqing's letter, his muscles burst out, and the teapot on the desk was slapped to the ground by him with one palm.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? I've never seen you so angry! Fang Xiaomei hurriedly walked over and picked up the teapot from the ground.

"Southeast!" Chen Yu said that these two words almost popped out of his teeth, "Yang Tinghe almost removed all the military commanders I had assigned to the Southeast Coastal Defense Station, and Wei Wenli was demoted to the commander of the army, with Wu Miao as the governor of the southeast and the preparation of the Japanese." ”

"Wu Miao?" Fang Xiaomei said suspiciously: "He's just an inspector of the imperial history, how can he prepare for the war?" ”

"Huh!" Chen Yu's smile was ugly, and there seemed to be a flame in his eyes, "If Wu Miao is replaced, after all, Wei Wenli is still there, and the quality of officers and soldiers is there, but Yang Ting and that old man have replaced almost all the generals of the coastal guards in Fujian and Zhejiang with people from the Lin family of Fujian merchants!" I knew that when I cleaned up the three Fujian merchants, I should have risen continuously! ”

At this time, Fang Xiaomei knew the reason why Chen Yu was so angry, the group of Fujian merchants was definitely the lord who put interests first, Yang Tinghe and this big blood exchange undoubtedly created a coastal military group of the Zhejia family, but the Zhejia family was replaced by Lin!

It took five years of hard work to stabilize the governance of the southeast, and this time it is really worrying how the coastal coastal defense will be in the future!

"Anyway, you're no longer in the imperial court now, forget about these things!" Fang Xiaomei comforted, "Do you know? After all, the land in the east of Niujiazhuang Village was donated to the Xu family, although there was a policy to exempt the summer grain tax, but the conscription was still as usual, and the Xu family levied all the men in the east of the village, so as to force them to submit!

You see, you want to change, but you still can't change after all, there are too many shortcomings in the Ming Dynasty, how can you change it? The reform framework you have worked so hard to build has all collapsed as soon as Yang Tinghe came to power, haven't you seen it through? ”

In fact, Fang Xiaomei didn't want to say these negative energy words to hit Chen Yu, but now is the time to pour cold water on him, let him see clearly that with his current weak strength, he can't change the status quo of Daming at all!

"How to forget it, the coast is all the people of the Ming Dynasty, if you really taste the sweetness by the Japanese Kou, do you know the consequences!" Chen Yu didn't dare to say to what extent the Jiajing Dynasty was flooded with Japanese robbers later, nor did he dare to say how many of the coastal Japanese were the children of the Ming Dynasty, once the Fujian merchant group controlled the southeast coast, the people had no livelihood, and they could do anything desperate!

"How can you not know, but what can you do now? The inner factory is gone, your official is lost, and now the imperial court is almost Yang Tinghe Dominance, even if Yang Yiqing is in the Ministry of Officials, what can He Jian do in the Ministry of War? The power to vote is in the hands of the cabinet, Jinyiwei is also in their hands, and Dongchang Gu Dayong also took refuge in Yang Tinghe, what else do you say? ”

Chen Yu clenched his fists, as if his heart was dyed with a fire. The current Daming seems to be like a complete piece of cloth, being torn apart by Yang Tinghe a little bit!

A sense of powerlessness gradually arose from his heart, negative emotions covered almost all his body and mind, in terms of political struggle, he was really inferior to Yang Tinghe, he learned a lot from Yang Tinghe, he always confidently thought that he could control everything, this is really a joke!

Looking back now, some things that he couldn't figure out were also looming in his mind.

Ma Zhongxi is his bureau, he deliberately let Ma Zhongxi be the governor of Hebei, he already knew Chen Yu's strategy!

But how did he know, what went wrong? Who rebelled? A man's name gradually came to his mind......

"Where is the Qinling family in Yunheng? The snow hugs the blue pass! After Chen Yu put down the letter, he collapsed weakly on the desk, his eyes filled with confusion that he had never felt before.

"To be honest, I've never seen you so depressed." Fang Xiaomei didn't feel good in her heart, "No matter what, you shouldn't give up hope, right?" ”

Chen Yu didn't want to discuss these topics, Yang Yiqing sent two letters, he opened the other one, and his expression finally eased a little after seeing it.

"What? Lord Yang still feels sorry for his baby daughter? ”

Chen Yu nodded, "He is already negotiating with the Xu family, and it is estimated that the Xu family will issue a letter of resignation soon, but Lord Yang is afraid that his face will be dull after that." ”

"Lord Yang is not the kind of person who values superficial utilitarianism, it is Lord Yang who makes me feel that there is still some conscience in your sinister officialdom."

"Damn, what you said, is it difficult for a husband to have no conscience?" took Fang Xiaomei into his arms and said very seriously, "Shen Fei and Yang Ruoxi's affairs are in a hurry, we have to wait for these things to slow down, but no matter what, they still have a good ending after all."

In fact, to be honest, I didn't have confidence myself at first, I think this thing is really too crazy, at least in Daming, but after this incident, I believe that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to take him seriously, no matter what the outcome is, at least you can make yourself have no regrets! ”

He looked at Fang Xiaomei affectionately, "After I go back to Qiantang this time, I will carry a sedan chair to marry you back!" Will you blame me for not marrying you in my glory and marrying you in this time of depravity? ”

"Nonsense, if I cared about this, I would have run away a long time ago, where would I suffer with you?"

"Look at what you're saying, at least I still have some surplus food at home!"

"Heh, do you think the silk of your Qiantang Chamber of Commerce can be sold so easily this time?"

"Okay......"

At this time, Shen Fei walked in very inappropriately, and after seeing Chen Yu and Fang Xiaomei, he turned his head and prepared to leave!

Damn, why does this Lord Chen always like to prostitute himself during the day!

"Stop, I'll give you good news, you're done!" Chen Yu stopped Shen Fei.

"What? It's true? Hughed? ”

"Nonsense, what's next for you? I'm afraid I'll come down after two days of resignation. There's nothing to do with me going to Zhejiang, so why not stay in Dantu and seize this opportunity to secretly enhance some feelings? ”

"Huh? My lord, look at what you said, what about being above board? Shen Fei smiled innocently, a smile appeared on Junxiu's face, and his cheeks were still red.

Chen Yu was really happy for this brother, from the beginning when Shen Fei told him about this ridiculous thing, Chen Yu was also negative in his heart at that time, after all, Yang Ruoxi was married, and she was still the daughter-in-law of the Guogong family, and she also had two children.

In this age of feudal etiquette and dogma, wanting to do such an idiot is tantamount to daydreaming.

But things have come to pass after all, which makes Chen Yu believe that there is really love in the world, in fact, what are the objective reasons such as helplessness and family background to influence love, that is not love, real emotions are strong enough to break through all moral bottom lines.

Entering June, Chen Yu and Fang Xiaomei got up and headed south along the canal towards Zhejiang. Shen Fei naturally stayed in Dantu.

On the way back and forth between Beijing and Hangzhou, each time the mood is different, when he was about to arrive in Qiantang, Chen Yu rented a small boat alone, along the fork of the canal, and returned to Qiantang by himself.

After entering the fork in the road, the river road begins to be cramped, and the scenery here is even more than this wide canal, and the lotus flowers with infinite blue lotus leaves compete with each other, and the blue color is pleasant.

Any national event can now be put aside, on the long channel, you can see green lotus leaves everywhere, or there are budding lotus bones, or there are a few beads of lotus standing on the lotus leaves.

Everything was so idyllic.

Chen Yu stopped the boat, picked a lotus pod, and peeled it off, which was sweet and delicious.

Three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus, frolicking and fishing lotus baby, here lotus picking girls have gradually increased, quite a graceful charm of the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "I often remember the twilight of Xiting, and I don't know the way back when I am drunk." Returning to the boat at night, I strayed into the depths of the lotus flowers, how to spend it, and startled a group of gulls and herons. ”

"Satisfy you!" Fang Xiaomei took out a pot of aged Shaoxing daughter red out of nowhere.

"Lady, this is going to make me drunk!" Chen Yu lifted the wine and drank it, completely ignoring the image of the scholar, sailed past a small boat, and handed the wine to Lao Suo.

The old man was also a happy man, and he raised his head and drank the wine jug, and after a long time, he wiped the wine on his lips and said, "Good wine!" ”

After Lao Suo threw the wine over, Chen Yu poured another sip: "Boating in the depths of the lotus leaf, leaving aside the trivial matters of the family and country, a pot of turbid wine, drinking all the ups and downs, the road to reincarnation, a dream for more than 20 years!" ”

On this day, Chen Yu was drunk on the boat.
