"Your Majesty, Shi Pan, the deputy envoy of the Tianjin Guards, Zhou Wen, the Qing army, and Yuan Jie, the chief soldier of the river transport, knocked at the dock to ask for ......"

Although I got a new toy, I couldn't reach the two biggest wishes, Zhengde was in a bad mood, and this time I came to Tianjin, and the local army in Tianjin was inexplicably raising a knife against each other. [No pop-up novel network]

"No, let them go."

The clay man still has a three-point surname, not to mention that he Zhu Houzhao is not a good-tempered person, and he didn't order to kill people immediately, which is already his extra kindness. He immediately frowned and categorically refused the two of them's request to meet.

"Whoa." It was a Marine soldier who didn't take those two people seriously, and when he heard this, he didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

Xie Hong suddenly spoke: "Slow, tell the two of them, I'll meet them later, let them wait." ”

"Big brother, what do you see them doing?"

Zhengde was reluctant to devote himself to court politics, mainly because those scholars gave him a headache. Since the night of the thunder and fire, the relationship between the two sides has dropped to a freezing point. At several court meetings, he used teasing or coercion to vent his dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the status of the scholars was being challenged, they had a feeling of being betrayed, especially when Zhengde said that several auxiliary ministers were deposed, and the dissatisfaction was also rising.

No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of reconciliation, so Xie Hong suddenly said that he wanted to meet two civil officials, which made Zhengde a little strange.

"Those two people should be more knowledgeable about current affairs, in fact, they can still take advantage of it, the opening of Tianjin Port is a big matter, and there are many obstacles, which can eliminate the counting point." Through the mouth of the descendant, Xie Hong already knew about the previous disputes of the officials in Tianjin, and he was confident in his chest.

"Then I'll leave it to you, big brother." Zhengde has always disliked trouble, and at this time, he waved his hand indifferently and pushed the matter to Xie Hong.

Xie Hong suddenly said thoughtlessly: "Second brother, let's start now, shall we?" ”

"Start what?" Zhengde looked around twice, didn't see the new toys, and didn't see anyone, well, just the two of them, "You said before that the country of sticks and the country of the Japanese are rich in a kind of people called perverts, big brother, you won't be ......."

I'll wipe it, where is this, Xie Hong couldn't cry or laugh, pointed outside, and said, "You won't forget what you came for, right?" With so many ships, it will take a long time to load and unload, so let's hurry up. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhengde suddenly realized, waved his hand and said: "This matter is also handed over to the eldest brother, I want to study the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty here, well, you just have to get busy." ”

......, "Master Shi, you are well-informed and experienced, you said, the emperor does not see us, but the governor of Liaodong intends to meet us...... What's the smell of? ”

Zhou Wen was quite apprehensive in his heart, and it was difficult to do the grass on the wall, although he avoided standing in line in person, but in fact, he became a person inside and out. Fang Xiao had already failed miserably, and the court saw that it was another turmoil, and he was really not sure whether he could be left alone.

"Maybe it's to give us a chance to make amends?" Shi Pan didn't have a bottom in his heart.

As soon as he returned to Yamen, he learned the news of the arrival of the guards, and when he went to the city to watch, the battle on this side was over, and no matter how to deal with it, the best opportunity had been lost, and now he could only resign himself to fate.

"In this way, it's actually not unavoid......able," Zhou Wen said in a low voice.

The so-called reform is to take refuge, according to Xie Hong's status and status, if he really takes refuge, it can be regarded as promoting Zhou Wen, but Zhou Wen is also from the right path of the imperial examination, and there are still some obstacles in his heart for taking refuge in the annihilation of the party, and the most important thing is that he is still afraid of the liquidation in the future.

However, if you have to do it, it is not enough. Anyway, the other party is in the right situation, and after a few years, he will go to Shibei in advance, and he will have to get past the current difficulties.

That's the good thing, Yuan Jie muttered in his stomach, he, a general, doesn't have so many calculations, he doesn't have any status, let alone his reputation, and it's a good thing that he can't hope for to have a backer.

"You guys, come here." In their hearts, they suddenly heard someone shouting. The three of them looked up, but they were a soldier in a small soldier's costume, waving at the three of them with a grin.

"......" The two civil officials, their faces are a little blue, although they are now considered to be guilty, but they are also officials of the fourth or fifth grade, and they are also the number one in the local area, but they are called so by a small soldier, how can they be embarrassed? I have to be called an adult!

Yuan Jie didn't think about it so much, he had experienced a lot of this kind of treatment, but the people who greeted him were not small soldiers, but the porters and subordinates of those civil servants, so he still had to bear it?

What's more, these little soldiers are all guards of the Son of Heaven, and their status is not much more noble than those subordinates in the minister's family? What's unacceptable? Therefore, he ran over happily, nodded and said, "This little brother, did Master Hou summon me to wait?" ”

The little soldier glanced at him and asked, "You are the chief soldier of the river transport?" Those people were originally your men? ”

It's not about settling accounts, is it? Yuan Jie chuckled in his heart, and his mouth began to be unfavorable, he replied stubbornly: "Sort of, in fact, the last general is usually trained with them, and I don't care about the transfer or anything, it's all the duty of the soldiers......"

"Commander Yuan, you have to speak with your conscience, today is not the soldiers and horses mobilized by this official, it is all Fang Xiao's ill-intentioned and unauthorized master, how can it have anything to do with the soldiers? Zhou Tongzhi, don't you say? Shi Pan was in a hurry, and he didn't twist anymore, walked up in a few steps, refuted loudly, and by the way, pulled Zhou Wen as circumstantial evidence.

"Probably right?" Zhou Wen squeaked.

He can be considered to have figured it out at this moment, and he has the least to do with this matter today.

In fact, the Qing Military Department is equivalent to a temporary local political axe, and the affairs it manages are similar to those of the prefect and the county yamen, all of which are civil affairs such as litigation and arrest and theft. Transferring troops or something, it has nothing to do with him at all, and the big sky is to be angry, and it will be a great thing, so why bother to drip into this muddy water?

"Lord Zhou, ...... you" Shi Pan looked at Zhou Wen's expression, and knew what the other party had in mind, at this time you want to stay out of the matter? Thinking of the beauty, he turned around violently, and was about to confront Zhou Wen, if he didn't still have a trace of reason, he might have started directly and grabbed the other party's collar.

"Alright, alright, what's the noise?" The little soldier frowned, waved his hand impatiently, and then pointed at Yuan Jie and asked, "Let's practice together, that's your soldier." ”

"The last general has wronged ......" Yuan Jie's face turned pale, and he directly shouted to hit the sky, why is the general's life so bitter? When you fight, you have to rush to the front, and when you have to rush to the front, you have to rush to the front when you top the cylinder, is there another one in this day?

"Wronged what? You go and tell your people, you are all requisitioned by my lord, hurry up and empty the docks, and then load and unload the ships, I tell you, if you move slowly, you will have to continue to work at night. ”

Xiao Bing broke off and interrupted Yuan Jie's shouting, although his attitude was very bad, but after listening to his next words, Yuan Jie was like a big man.

"Please go back to the Hou Ye, just rest assured, I am the best at this matter...... "Can you not do it, the river transport general is in charge of Cao Yun, a day from the south to the north There are many ships, and there are not a few warehouses in Tianjin.

"You are careful, it is the emperor's property, and there are people watching it here, you go and tell me that you understand, if anyone dares to put their hands on it, hmph, then don't blame the Hou Ye for being polite."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Yuan Jie wiped the sweat from his head, and then went to his own dejected soldiers.

Soon, the remnants of the defeated army let out a burst of cheers, and then, under the leadership of Yuan Jie, they joined the ranks of the North Korean sailors in full swing.

"This military master, the two of them are ......" Shi and Erren looked at each other, this is really not okay without culture, I can't understand an order, I don't know how scary this thing is? But it's not a matter of being forgotten, Shi Pan still reminded him.

"You two? Come with me. The herald squinted at the two of them, said casually, and turned to leave.

Of course, the two civil officials were aggrieved in their hearts, but when they thought of seeing the plague god, their hearts also jumped up, nervous!

"Shi Pan, the deputy envoy of military armament, and the Qing army knows Zhou Wen? Well, yes, in terms of what you are doing today, you can still be regarded as a smart person, so in the future, Tianjin Wei will maintain the pattern like today, do you understand? ”

The summoning was very casual, and the process of the meeting was unusually brief, and before the two of them finished saluting, Xie Hong threw a sentence bluntly, smashing the two of them dizzy.

"Understood, Xia Guan understands what Hou Ye means." Xie Hong's words seemed to be compliments and sarcasm, but in fact, neither of them figured out the taste inside.

However, when the official asks, the lower official has to answer, they are clear about the rules of this officialdom, especially when they meet such an unconventional master, of course they have to be more cautious, Yuan Jie's example tells them that it is right to cooperate well.

"It's good to understand, I hope you remember today's words, go down." Xie Hong's neatness was more than that, hearing that the two of them should be, he waved his hand casually again, and ended the meeting.

“…… The lower official retired. Although the two civil officials were still confused, they didn't dare to say more, and they could only retreat helplessly.

When they came out, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and after a long time, Zhou Wen opened his mouth: "Master Shi, what does Master Hou mean by this?" ”

"Today's actions are considered smart, and today's pattern will be maintained in the future......" Shi Pan recited repeatedly, Xie Hong's words were very abrupt, but he pondered for a long time, in fact, the key words were these two words, but he couldn't be sure for a while.

"Brother Zhou Xian, let me think about it again......" He was not impatient with Zhou Wen's request for advice, when he had a conflict before, Shi Pan was very excited, but if he changed places, he would make a similar choice, is it the only rule of officialdom to protect his life...... Wait, Mingzhe to protect yourself?

"I see!" Shi Pan's heart flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly brightened.

"Master Shi, have you really figured it out?" Zhou Wen looked anxious, he was even a little worried that the other party would embarrass himself for the suspicion in front of him.

To his surprise, Shi Pan smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Zhou Xian, if the foolish brother guesses well, you and I will have to be in the same boat in the future, don't be so rusty in this title, right?" ”

"Brother Shi, where should I start?"

"It's actually very simple, what did the two of us do today? It is nothing more than to protect oneself and avoid the whirlpool, which is a smart move. In the future, we must also maintain, that is to say, as long as you and I do not interfere in the local affairs of Tianjin in the future, then we can change a peace, and at the same time, we do not have to directly put in effect, which is the way to protect ourselves. ”

"Then you and I are not corpse vegetarians......

"It's not that you ignore the usual affairs, the yamen is running as usual. Anyway, Yuan Jie's house has already turned against the water, even if there is a resolution between the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, what can you and me, two powerless scholars, do to others? As for how they treat Yuan Jie, they naturally have the heart of the Hou Ye, so what does it have to do with you and me? ”

"It's so good, I originally heard that the champion Hou didn't understand government affairs and acted recklessly, but now that I see it, his political strategy is not bad."

"How accurate is the rumor? It's better to see it yourself. ”

"What Brother Shi said is very true, it really makes the little brother suddenly!"

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say......"
