The sound of the twilight drums was a little dull, and the old scholar of the Lai Sect stood in front of the gate of the Imperial Palace, his eyes staring at the red-hot sunset in the west. The old bachelor straightened the thinning hair on his head, and put on the official hat of the bachelor who was most respected by the literati.

"Old Master, the Holy Lord is eating, please come back." The eunuch persuaded.

"Old decay can wait." Lai Zongdao straightened his waist.

The eunuch who had already come three times shook his head and left, leaving Lai Zongdao alone to stand in front of the Imperial Palace. "It's so old." Lai Zongdao's straight waist was loosened, and his body was no longer as good as it was back then. I want to stand on top of the court meeting back then, and the waist board ...... Even a few months ago, the waist pole was still straight and straight. At that time, he was full of confidence, and at this moment, Lai Zongdao smelled a hint of danger. This time, though, there was no way back for him.

"Holy Lord, the old scholar of the Sect has been waiting outside the door for an hour."

There was no one in the Imperial Palace at this time, but at this time, Zhu Youzhen was sitting here unreasonably. "Let him in." Zhu Youzhen picked up the tea cup on one side and swayed it, without meaning to drink.

After a while, the door of the temple was pushed open again, "Old minister, come to the sect and knock on the saint." ”

"Give a seat." If it was the previous dynasty, there was naturally no such thing as giving a seat, but now it doesn't matter much. Zhu Youzhen didn't look at the old bachelor, and the lanterns in the hall were in the palm for the first time, which was the first time in the Huangji Palace. If it is usual, even if the saint approves the fold at this time, it is still in the Qianqing Palace.

"What's the matter? I still remember that a few days ago, the old bachelor often quoted scriptures and talked eloquently. Why is it a little restrained today? Looking at Lai Zongdao's restless appearance, Zhu Youzhen laughed.

"Old minister, old minister...... The old minister learned of the Holy Decree and dismissed Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and came to ask the Holy Lord to withdraw his order. Lai Zongdao, who had just sat down, stood up again and bowed down.

"Please."

"Old minister, I don't know."

"Use your scriptures to convince me, it's better to spit on me. I still remember that when I was absent from the dynasty once, I came to the bachelor to quote the scriptures and classics, and compared me to King Zhou You, Emperor Yang of Sui, and I couldn't wait to die in this imperial palace to show my loyalty. ”

The old bachelor knelt down tremblingly, "Old minister...... Shengshang, the old minister is worried that the external strife is not settled, and if the dynasty is unstable at this time, he is afraid that the Ming Dynasty will ......"

"Come to Zongdao, you don't seem to have impressed me." Zhu Youzhen called him by his name, and he didn't care about face at all.

"Shengshang, Qian Qianyi is rich and rich, and Weichen thinks that he is an excellent candidate to succeed the first assistant of the cabinet." came to Zongdao and detained the ground, waiting for Zhu Youzhen's response.

"Go back, it's too late to catch the show. Your favorite, that Pear Blossom Dan. Zhu Youzhen's smile was like a chrysanthemum, "Wait until tomorrow, the old bachelor will still be the prince and the prince, and he will still be the famous Confucian." It's just this ......"

The old scholar of Laizongdao, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and did not answer. He has nothing to say, Qian Qianyi is a member of the Donglin Party, so he wants to protect it, not for his own reputation, but for the people behind him. He is no longer a single official.

"Stand down, old bachelor." Zhu Youzhen looked at Lai Zongdao who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I, it's not that I don't know. I once said that I can give him to those who make profits, and I can allow him to those who are famous, but what I can't tolerate is that there is only one voice in the court. That would make me think that the voice was trying to overshadow my voice! ”

The Imperial Palace was very quiet, so quiet that it made Lai Zongdao feel creepy.

"Let's go back." Zhu Youzhen finally took a sip of tea.

"Old minister, retire." Lai Zongdao slowly stood up, retreated to the outside of the Imperial Palace, and sighed: "It's time to shuffle the cards." He took off his gauze hat and straightened his sweat-soaked hair.

He looked at the shining purple microstar, shook his head and sighed: "It's right to accept it (Qian Qianyi), it's my fault, it's my ......."

"Come to Shousuke."

"Lord Wen."

The greetings between the two were just a sentence, and they passed by.

"Lord Wen." Lai Zongdao stopped, and the evening breeze brushed his sparse hair, "The impeachment of Qian Qianyi is presented by you." ”

"Let's come to the bachelor for review." Wen Tiren smiled, "I don't know what the opinion of the bachelor is?" ”

"The old man is old, and he is busy with official business, and that share is still pressed over there. However, as a cabinet scholar, this impeachment can be directly presented to the Holy Lord, and Qian Qianyi is a member of my Donglin Party, so Lord Wen will hand over the impeachment to the old man, what does this trick mean? ”

Wen Tiren's footsteps on the steps were retracted, leaning into the ear of Lai Zongdao, and whispered, "Shoufu, you understand. ”

"Hmph." Lai Zongdao smiled, nodded slightly, and left slowly.

Wen Tiren looked at the back and muttered, "It's to blame you Donglin Party for being too ruthless." A Qian Qianyi, in exchange for Donglin Qunchen, this business, Zhou Yanru earns a pot and a bowl, and it is worth it to come to the bachelor, and the saint will not lose. The most loss-making and earning is probably in the next place. ”

……

Thousands of miles away, cattle and sheep fattened in August. Shengjing City is staggered. Troops from the Mongols were stationed here to receive a banquet from Huang Taiji.

"Brethren from Mongolia!" Huang Taiji, who had already taken over the power, stood up and said, "We are about to embark on the journey to the west. No one can stop us! Our iron cavalry will sweep the entire pass! Then head south! ”

"Hmm!"

"Hmm!"

Sheng Jing seemed to have gathered dragon energy, and Huang Taiji raised his glass and shouted: "Let us dry this glass of wine!" ”

"Dry this wine!"

"!"

The Mongolian generals were rough by nature, and Huang Taiji did not pretend to be a gesture, laughing and talking with those khans, a sense of brotherhood. His eyes are always so sharp. Even if you drink alcohol, it is so sharp that people will feel a chill when they see it.

At a table, it was deserted, and only the two of them were drinking.

"Second brother, Amin's group of people and horses, was eaten by the eighth brother. We need to be careful. Sanbeile Mang Gurtai said lightly.

"Fifth brother, do you think we can still resist the eighth brother? Nowadays, the Manchus and the Mongols are all focused on the eighth brother, which is the general trend, and we only need to assist wholeheartedly. I believe that the eighth brother will not draw a sword against each other. Da Belle Daishan looked at the Huang Taiji who was surrounded in the center, "He is like a father, but with a little more delicacy." ”

Dai Shan came back to his senses, picked up the wine glass and stood up, and said, "Let's go, go and toast our Tiancong Khan!" In the tone, there was no trace of ridicule and rhetoric, but it seemed to be sincerely congratulating.

Mang Gurtai paused on the table, waved his hand, and said annoyedly: "Don't go, I'm going to go." "He felt that his status was far less than it used to be. The era of the four major Baylors, sitting on the south side, has changed. gradually transformed into the stage of the man's outstanding politics. Ertai turned his head to the west and snorted coldly, "Linghe City, it's time for me to establish my might. With that, he drank all the wine on the table.

(Kneel down and ask for a recommendation!) kneeling and begging for collection, some readers reported that there were too few recommendations, and they were afraid of eunuchs. Crying blind. ）
