It was still the spacious and bright hall, and the bright autumn sunlight shone through the huge windows, filling the entire lobby with a warm atmosphere. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is still the same furnishings, on the table covered with noble and mysterious green velvet tablecloth, brass name brands are neatly placed, and even tea and food are exactly the same.

More than 80 days ago, they walked into this venue under the convening of a prince as dazzling as the sun, and established an unprecedented yamen, which was so powerful and hopeful. It supported the counterinsurgency of the Zhennan Army with one hand, and supported the reconstruction of the two southern provinces with the other, both of which were done unprecedentedly well, and they could not remember any other yamen in history that was so efficient and powerful.

Thinking of this place that condenses everyone's efforts and hopes, it has reached the critical moment of life and death, people take a deep breath and shout in their hearts, never!

The pampered councilors, like the soldiers of Great Qin, entered the arena in an orderly manner, sat down in their seats, and then sat upright, waiting for the moment of decisive battle.

Xu Chang and the three of them stood at the door, watching everyone enter the venue, and when everyone entered, they straightened their waists, walked to the venue, and boarded the box on the second floor under the watchful eyes of the councilors on the first floor.

Passing by the luxurious box in the middle, looking at the closed door and the eye-catching characters of 'His Royal Highness King Longjun Box' engraved in brass on the door, the three old men sighed in their hearts, and then they knew how much pressure the young prince had put on them. The three of them glanced at each other and silently walked into their respective boxes.

Xu Guochang, who was already the head of the Fuxing Yamen Council, sat at Xu Chang's feet with a respectful face, and gently pinched his feet for the old man.

Xu Chang closed his eyes and said: "Guochang, now everyone outside says that our Xu family is not saved when they see death, which led to today's situation, you say that we are not wronged." Xu Guochang sighed and said: "Who let us fall for the treacherous tricks of civilization and righteousness, but our heart for Jiangbei can be seen by the sun and the moon." On that day they received an invitation to civility and righteousness, saying that they were going to make peace with the southern gentry. At that time, the two of them thought that the northerners could not do anything, and wanted the lion to open his mouth and get some oil and water from the south as usual.

Although he knew the ground, he only saw Qiao Qipei and Zhuo Bingchen. The three of them waited for nearly two hours,

Still didn't wait for Lord Qincha to be civilized and righteous, so he left in a hurry. When I went back, I realized that everyone had fallen for the plan of civilization and righteousness to divert the tiger from the mountain......

Coupled with the old feud between the three families and the Xu family, Xu Chang and the three of them can't be explained. Only then did he change the noble style of the nobleman who did not express his position easily in the past, stood up very resolutely, and took a clear stand against the proposal of civilization and righteousness, which saved his image in the hearts of everyone.

It's just that he suffered a junior's stuffy loss, so that the old man Xu couldn't let go of his heart for a long time, and almost sat down, and repeatedly chattered about this matter all day long, making Xu Juzheng almost crazy, but fortunately, at this time, there was a voice from far away outside: "Lord Qincha has arrived!" "I relieved him. He was the head of the council and had the responsibility of presiding over the convening of the council, so he hurriedly sued and went downstairs.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the old man say in a deep voice behind him: "Guochang, straighten up, you are the representative of the south, don't fall into our prestige." Xu Guochang's body tensed when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the eldest lord, Guochang knows." ”

When Wenming Yi stood still on the platform, everyone got up and knelt down to greet the angel, and after three bows and nine bows, they all returned to their seats and sat down, looking at Lord Qincha with an embarrassed expression on the platform. According to the rules, when you see Qincha, you have to worship twice, the first time you worship the emperor with three buckles and nine bows, and the second time you bow to worship the lord. The councilors only worshipped the emperor, but not the lord, which means that we don't bird your inscription.

This made the brothers on the stage angry, and Wen Mingren was about to speak, but was stopped by Wen Wenyi shaking his head. Then he sat indignantly behind the long table opposite the councilors. After the initial sense of superiority, he realized that it was really not good to be glared at by hundreds of people, so he had to lower his head, pretending to look at the name tag on the table, and did not dare to raise it again.

Wen Wenyi sat down expressionlessly, and said to Xu Guochang on the side: "Lord Juzheng can start." ”

Xu Guochang nodded, first said some nonsense such as long live the Great Qin, long live His Majesty, and then announced the topic of entering this conference - on the issue of the survival of the revival yamen, according to the rules, please ask the proposer to state first.

The right to speak was transferred to Wen Wenyi, he cleared his throat, found that it was really good to speak to hundreds of people at the same time, and admired the prince a little, first said some scenes, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, the revival of the yamen is a temporary institution born in wartime because the government of the two provinces suffered heavy losses and could not play its due role. Now that the two provinces have been resettled and the government has been rebuilt, the mission of this yamen is over.

He said it happily, but the pot was boiling below. Okay, as soon as you touch your mouth, you will characterize the revival yamen as a temporary institution, and then open your mouth to announce that everyone is going to disperse, this big tail is too unsound, right?

Chai Shifang Huo Ran stood up and retorted: "Lord Wen's words are inappropriate, our revival of the yamen is the grace of the saint, the approval of the court, the registration of the ministry, and the affiliation of the Shaofu, our yamen still has the holy decree of His Majesty and the writings of the ministry, how can it be said that it is temporary?" As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a large number of echoes, completely covering up the voice of civilized rebuttal.

Wen Wenyi was so angry in his heart, he had never seen such a gentry who didn't know how to be polite in his more than 20 years of career, and he couldn't help but feel even more bad for the southern gentry, and he slapped the table heavily, but he calmed the deliberations in the audience and looked at him directly. Wen Wenyi shouted in a deep voice: "What kind of system are you, when this official speaks, how can you allow you to interject? ”

Then there is a humane: "Lord Wen doesn't know, the rules set by our prince, at the meeting, everyone's identity is to deliberate, speak with reason, vote by shares, there are not so many rules......"

When Wen Wenyi heard the words 'our prince', he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his admiration for Qin Lei immediately disappeared, leaving only the jealousy of that dead ghost. He said with an unhappy face: "Since everyone has different opinions, then follow your rules, let's ...... Vote! He knew that the Southern Scholars had already made up their minds to fight him to the end, so he didn't bother to say anything more.

The councillors also knew that they would have to vote sooner or later, so they stopped making noise and nodded one after another: "Vote and vote." ”

Xu Guochang was just about to announce the start of the vote, but Wen Wenyi said unhurriedly: "Before that, this official wants to confirm whether you are all qualified to vote?" ”

The following councilors said with a smile: "When you come to the meeting, you have to bring two certificates, which is the rule set by our prince, and let the adults check it." "The so-called two certificates are the 'Deliberation Qualification Certificate' that represents the identity of the deliberation and the 'Capital Contribution Certificate' which proves that the principal has been paid."

Hearing those four words again, the roots of his teeth itched with civilized hatred, and he said coldly: "Your qualifications are not doubted by the official, but there is one person, the official is not so relieved." ”

The councilors below knew that the drama was coming, and the northern Yankee was about to throw a killer move, so they couldn't help but calm down and wait for him to make a move.

Wen Wenyi looked around the audience, very satisfied with the effect he caused, suddenly pointed to a single room on the second floor, and said clearly: "It's him!" ”

Everyone followed his direction, looked back, and found that what he was referring to was the first in the south of the No. 1 house in Jiazi, the Xu family.

At this time, Wen Mingren also came to the momentum, and said loudly: "Old man Xu, come out and talk to everyone and clarify." ”

After a period of silence in room No. 1, the window was pushed open, and Xu Chang, who had white hair, stood in front of the window with a smile, overlooking the Wen brothers below, and said with a faint smile: "Little friend, what are you making noise?" That look, that tone, was like talking to his grandson.

When Wen Mingren arrived in the south, he didn't encounter anything pleasant, and he lost all the ability to call for wind and rain in the capital, and at this time he was humiliated by a bad old man, and suddenly became angry and said: "Old man, don't look at you now, you will cry later." He turned his head to Wen Wen and said, "Big brother, let the ugly things this old boy do public, let him be proud again!" ”

Civilized and righteous, ask carefully, how can it come out of your mouth, and you will become a shrew scolding the street? But fighting the tiger's own brothers, going into battle with father and son, at this time, he had to support the younger brother, he said coldly to the pale Xu Guochang: "Xu Ju is the son and nephew of Grandpa Xu, and he will definitely not favor this official, an outsider, so may I ask Xu Juzheng, what is the name of Volume VII in the constitution of the Revival Yamen Council?" ”

Xu Guochang had already realized what the problem was, his back was suddenly soaked with sweat, and he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, but at this moment, he couldn't allow him to say clever words, so he had to answer astringently: "Contribution volume." ”

Wen Wenyi asked in a deep voice: "What does Article 7 of this volume say?" "What he looked through yesterday was the thick statute of the council, but it was a preparation for today.

"All contributors who contribute money in silver must pay all their subscribed shares within one month; If the capital contribution is made in kind or other non-bank money, it can be graced for one month, but the principle of excess value must be followed. Already knowing the other party's tricks, Xu Guochang calmed down instead, and it was useless to be anxious at this time.

Wen Wen Yi continued to ask aggressively: "How do you explain the word 'value' in the appendix? ”

"The value of the capital contribution in kind should be at least 10% higher than the amount deducted."

"It is worthy of being the head of the council, and it can be said that he is familiar with the constitution." After a sentence of praise without being salty, Wen Wenyi suddenly raised his voice and said: "This official asks the last question, what is the content of Article 10 of this volume?" ”

Xu Guochang said expressionlessly: "Those who make false contributions are not honest enough, and they are not enough to conspiracy." If it is a false declaration of 10% of the investors, it shall be ordered to apologize and pay a fine of 10 times the amount of the false declaration within 7 days; Those who falsely report more than 10% will be refunded, disqualified from the meeting, and will never be admitted. ”

"Very good, may I ask how much your family has contributed? How much of it is not contributed by money? ”

"12.25 million taels, including the Han family's Yindonggou mine, which is worth 3.25 million taels." Xu Guochang handled this matter single-handedly and naturally knew everything about it. At that time, I was afraid that there would be problems, so I lowered the price by three. Unexpectedly, the mistake of a thought at that time caused an irreparable situation today.

"Is your Yindonggou mine really worth so much?" Wen Wenyi asked with a disdainful face.

Xu Guochang was silent, he knew that the other party must have some evidence, so he couldn't admit it, but he couldn't deny it. Once denied, the Xu family will follow in the footsteps of the Xu family and fall into a situation from which there will be no return, which is a responsibility that he, even the old man Xu in the box, cannot afford.

Wen Wenyi was finally proud, he took out a document in his hand, and said with a hateful smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official has here an appraisal document issued by the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry, which proves that the true value of this mine is only worth one and a half million. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a bang upstairs, and Old Man Xu, who had been standing in the box expressionlessly, fell straight up. Fortunately, thanks to the support of his family behind him, the back of his head did not touch the ground and was injured a second time.

If the mine was really only worth 1.5 million taels, then the Xu family had falsely reported 1.75 million taels, which was more than 12.25 million taels of capital contributed as much as 10 percent, which was enough for them to get out of the council.

In this way, the share of 10,000 became 9,000, and the 5,000 shares in the hands of the Wen family exceeded half! They are all the best among people, and this account is quite acceptable.

The passion and determination of the past few days suddenly turned into a joke, everyone felt that their strength was withdrawn, their heads could not be raised, and there was a deathly silence in the hall! No one even spoke out to accuse the culprit of the Xu family, not that they didn't blame the Xu family, but their hearts were cold and they didn't speak.

At this time, Chai Shifang, who had been encouraging everyone, stood up and shouted: "Everyone, our prince said that even if you die, you must hold your head high!" We can't afford to be looked down upon by the Yankees. "At this moment, there is no need to save face for the opponent.

When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately remembered the high-spirited prince, the prince who was willing to bear all the hardships and dangers for the south, the prince who never bowed his head in front of the northerners, and the prince who finally fell in the south for the sake of the south......

Everyone's breathing gradually became heavier, they felt that their blood was burning, and their fighting spirit was rekindled, okay, Yankees, you have won this battle, but as long as there is tomorrow, we will continue to fight for the self-improvement of the south! Never compromise!

Seeing that the southern gentry had wilted, they regained their spirits, and Wenyi was unhappy for a while, and when he heard the black-faced man say those four words, he couldn't help but sneer: "The overall situation of this matter has been decided, and your yamen will disappear from today, unless you ...... it."

His gaze swept over the crowd, looking at the red-eyed crowd, and he mistook that resentment for the tears of the weak. Haha laughed and said: "Unless 'our prince' comes back from the dead!" Those four words bite very hard.

How could the crowd not hear the sarcasm in his tone, and seeing that he insulted the sacred, the people were at last angry, and were about to go forward and tear it to pieces in desperation, when they heard a clear and majestic voice in the doorway: "Well said! Your prince has risen from the dead! ”

This voice was so familiar, so kind, that in the last half month of panic, everyone wanted to hear this voice the most, and everyone looked to the door in ecstasy.

I saw a handsome face and a straight figure of a young man in military uniform standing at the door, who looked to be less than twenty years old, but his expression of not being angry and arrogant, his noble temperament, and the compassion and friendliness of his starry eyes made people feel awe, and they did not dare to offend his authority.

Who is it if it's not Qin Lei?

Everyone, except for the Wen brothers, cried, some cried, some laughed and cried, some sobbed silently, and these lords of the Shi clan, who were the most important in their manners, cried.

Everyone, whether it was a gray-haired old man or a young man in the prime of life, bowed down to the ground in unison, tears and did not speak, they missed him too much, they needed him so much......

A feeling of admiration filled the air, and it also wet Qin Lei's eyes, this feeling of being needed, trusted, and relied on was exactly what he needed in this journey to the end of the world.

Qin Lei said in a trembling voice: "Everyone is suffering, get up." ”

Everyone just cried silently, but they still didn't get up, they were afraid that if they came together, their prince would disappear again.

Qin Lei smiled helplessly: "The lonely king can't compensate you, it's okay now, right?" ”

How can you let the prince accompany you? The councillors hurriedly got up obediently, wiped away the tears on their faces, and smiled at Qin Lei embarrassedly.

Qin Lei smiled and said, "It's been a long time, let's send the outsiders away first, and then talk about it for a long time, okay?" ”

"It's all up to the king's orders!" The sound was so loud and loud that it shook the dirt on the roof.

Qin Lei strode to the front of the stage, and then his eyes fell on the Wen brothers with extremely ugly faces, and said with a smile: "Don't you two come to harm?" Why is your face so ugly, is it because you can't adapt to the soil and water? ”

Since Qin Lei came in, the infinite sense of frustration and loss has wrapped the two of them tightly, and it is even a little difficult to breathe. Wen Wenyi forced out a smile, got up and said reluctantly: "Xiaguan see the prince!" ”

Qin Lei waved his hand, still smiling: "Before we talk about the old days, let's inform Master Wen of the news that is not too good." ”

Civilized and righteous said abruptly: "My lord, please speak!" ”

Qin Lei's face gradually turned cold, and he said word by word: "I received news half an hour ago that Lord Li Yijiang, the left attendant of Shannan and the left attendant of the military department, has already returned to heaven one step ahead of the two!" ”
