"Governor Wang, what are you doing here?" Ning Zhiyuan was taken aback, asked weakly, and said in his heart, you really scared me this time, and shouted too loudly.

"Lord Ning." Wang Zhilin smiled on his face, like a chrysanthemum, "I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"It's easy to say," Ning Zhiyuan said as if he had just reacted from his fright, "As long as I don't deceive my teacher, nothing will matter." ”

"Eh" Wang Zhilin was stunned, what should he say now? The words were choked. After all, he deserved to start with a sycophant, and quickly said, "No, no, how could I want you to deceive Lord Xu." I just want you to ask Lord Ning not to mention the anti-people thing. ”

"No, no, no," Ning Zhiyuan shook his head again and again, and said, "I still have to say this, but Governor Wang relaxes, I will tell my teacher that it is on the border of Henan, so it's none of your business, so it's also a credit to me, right?" ”

"This" Wang Zhilin almost felt that he was about to cry, and thought, it is none of my business if you want to say this, but my good news has already been reported to the court.

"Or, Lord Ning, would you give me this credit?" Wang Zhilin stepped out and asked.

"Huh?" Ning Zhiyuan frowned and knocked on the board, "This?" ”

As an old fritter in officialdom, Wang Zhilin looked at it, it seemed to be a play, and showed a chrysanthemum-like smile, "Lord Ning, how about you look at 100,000 taels." ”

Ning Zhiyuan was stunned, pinched himself gently, and felt a slight pain, it didn't seem to be a dream, and it didn't look like he had crossed over again, so why, money, was it so worthless?

I plagiarized the poems of my descendants plus developed glass for a few months, which is open and open, and it took several months to earn more than 100,000 taels. You old bureaucrat said it so easily?

looked at Wang Zhilin angrily, and was about to agree, but after thinking about it, there must be more money, this corrupt official.

Sure enough, seeing that Ning Zhiyuan didn't speak, Wang Zhilin said again, "What about the 150,000 taels?" ”

The tone is still very relaxed, no, don't agree, thinking that Ning Zhiyuan drank a cup of tea lightly, feeling that it was not as good as the one he brewed.

"Two hundred thousand taels."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, it really can't be more, Lord Ning." Wang Zhilin said with some sadness and indignation. I was grief-stricken in my heart, and I definitely didn't do it for this credit, but to prevent things from being exposed. That's it.

Hearing that the old bureaucrat's voice was already very reluctant, Ning Zhiyuan stood up and stretched, ready to agree

"300,000 taels, if you still don't agree, Lord Ning, then please." Wang Zhilin said a little weakly.

Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Wang Zhilin's pleading eyes, and felt a little soft-hearted, no, disgusting, so he said, "That's it, I agreed." ”

"Ning Zhifu is light." Wang Zhilin didn't react between his consciousness, and said, then slowly raised his head with a cai, and saw Ning Zhiyuan's sincere eyes, at least he thought so, "Ning Zhifu agreed?" ”

"Yes." Ning Zhiyuan nodded and said, blackmailing corrupt officials is also for him to eliminate harm for the people, right?

Under Wang Zhilin's attentive gaze, Ning Zhiyuan slowly walked out of the living room and came to the post station, Chen Biao said with admiration, "Gongzi is really a god. ”

Li Jun nodded incessantly, and in a blink of an eye, he got 300,000, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

And Ning Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's thanks to you for taking the little guy who went to Beijing to report the good news, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a way to make money." ”

Li Jun and Chen Biao also laughed happily when they heard this, "Childe, is your letter from Lord Xu true?" ”

Looking at the long and dark night overhead, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't see the moon and the slightest starlight, and then nodded slowly.

This is the second letter he has received from Xu Guangqi.

"Zhiyuan, Mei Xianglou is loyal to the country, the old man can hear it, your 'why don't the man take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states outside the Guan' oath has also heard a little, although the saint is now sage, but the court is corrupt, how many young talents like you and other young talents are forced to Liangshan, this cause and effect, the old man reported for you, remember, the next year's meeting needs to participate, the court needs you to wait."

Li Julin really hid it well, Ning Zhiyuan sighed

"Your Highness, the old minister has a book." In the city of Beijing, in the imperial study, Xu Guangqi dragged his weak body and said to a man in his twenties.

The man was wearing a yellow robe, his face was majestic, and he did have a little bit of the demeanor of a superior.

The lights were flickering, Chongzhen was a little curious about what was going on with the old minister of the three dynasties in front of him, you know, although the old man was already the second assistant of the dynasty, he hadn't taken the initiative to play for a long time, unless he took the initiative to ask.

If the old man in front of him said that he wanted to be the first assistant, Chongzhen would not hesitate to let the current first assistant Wen Tiren move his position, for no other reason, in this court, he is the only person he can fully trust.

"What's the matter with Mr. Xu?" Chongzhen looked at Xu Guangqi and the two attendants behind him, and asked while motioning to the chamberlain next to him to move a chair over.

"The old minister wants to invite the emperor to listen to a song first?"

"Song? Is it just a little song? Chongzhen frowned slightly and asked again.

"Hehe," Xu Guangqi smiled at Emperor Chongzhen's expression, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. Although the emperor is a little suspicious, he never wants to have fun, which is why he is still willing to stand on top of the court when he is nearly seventy years old, and then said, "This is not a song, it is a song, at least, the descendants who sang this song said so." ”

"Then the teacher, please." Chongzhen's face softened slightly, it was already the end of the day, but he still had a lot of political affairs to deal with, and the number of people in Shaanxi had doubled again.

Xu Guangqi waved his hand, signaling for the entourage behind him to start singing, in order to learn this song, he also spent a lot of effort, let dozens of staff members follow the study, and after learning for more than ten days, only one of them learned half-like and did not look like it, but he could make it up, he thought.

"The wolf smoke rises, the north looks at the dragon, the dragon thinks of the horse, the sword is like frost, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory for 20 years, who can resist the heart like the Yellow River, the water is vast, and China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate"

There was no accompaniment, only a cappella, but Chongzhen was still stunned.

After a long time, his eyes were slightly red, and he said with some excitement, "Teacher, my Ming Dynasty, is there such an ambitious general?" As he spoke, he looked at Xu Guangqi earnestly.

"I don't know if there is such a general, but I know that there is such a Xie Yuan." Xu Guangqi said slowly, his old body could no longer allow him to speak quickly.

"Ning Zhiyuan, fifteen years old, should be tried to solve the Yuan in Tianfu Township, the current prefect of Ningxia, before leaving, he said an oath of 'why don't men take Wu hooks and collect fifty states outside the Guan', and made this word, in the area of Zezhou Mansion, with hundreds of soldiers to repel more than 10,000 anti-people before that." Xu Guangqi elaborated on Ning Zhiyuan's experience like a treasure.

"Insist that Qingshan will not relax, the roots are in the broken rocks, and the strength is still strong after thousands of blows, and the wind is blowing from east to west, north and south. Good poetry, really good poetry. Chongzhen sighed, if the court officials have such a character, how can there be many parties and secrets, deceive the superiors and subordinates, and why is the situation in the northwest so serious?

"And the previous song 'Falling Red is not a ruthless thing', what does the teacher mean by coming today?" Chongzhen sighed for a long time and finally asked.

"Promote the virtuous for the court and eliminate traitors for His Royal Highness."

Chongzhen put his hands behind his back, his expression was complicated, through the window, he wanted to look at the night outside, but he only saw a tall palace, "This is the Palace of Heart Cultivation, but the wall is too high and obscures my vision, so I can't see anything." Chongzhen thought.

When Ning Zhiyuan left Zezhou, the team had changed greatly, not to mention 300,000 taels more in the pocket, even a cadre of people was equipped with exquisite armor, and there were two hundred more horses, which could be said to be a lot of gains, he wanted to ask for a few more horses, but Wang Zhilin really couldn't take it out, and he was going to die, Ning Zhiyuan thought a little aggrieved.

And he was still hurrying to Ningxia, but he didn't know anything about the big storm in the imperial court, but he could roughly guess a little in Xu Guangqi's previous letter, but he didn't know that it was far more serious than he imagined.
