"How can I talk privately, the emperor hasn't seen any movement there, is it because Yan Song refuses to help?" Xia Yan took a sip of tea, sat there and asked unhurriedly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that Yan Song is a person who is willing to make a loss-making deal? If you don't give him enough benefits, how can he do his best? Peng Yue smiled bitterly, and was worried that Yan Song had been unwilling to contribute.

"The benefits? What benefits does he want? Xia Yan frowned, and suddenly put the teacup on the table.

"Oh... It's nothing, as the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, how can there be a reason to work for people in vain? Peng Yue responded perfunctorily, and he didn't plan to say that Yan Song wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law and carry out "long-term cooperation" with him, because Peng Yue knew that Xia Yan must be taboo about this matter, after all, he offended him at that time because he refused to marry Xia Yan's daughter.

"In this way, it seems that he still can't change his greed..."Xia Yan said, his mood eased a little, "Actually, it's not surprising, he went to find Tao Zhongwen, and he always had to give some gifts, it's a big deal... You give him some money, and you don't lack it anyway..."

"I know that, but... It really needs to be taken step by step, this kind of thing... I can't be in a hurry..."Peng Yue lowered his head as he said, "I don't care if I send him more money, I'm afraid that if I send money, things won't be done..."

"But the emperor's meaning is indeed very important, and it seems that at present... There is indeed no better path than taking Tao Zhongwen's side..."Xia Yan wanted to cheer up Peng Yue, but found that he didn't seem to have that much confidence.

"Actually, this matter has dragged on for too long, so I don't have much confidence until now..."Peng Yue put his hands on his robe, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Only when you do it, do you find out how difficult things are, they won't go as smoothly as you imagined, there are obstacles everywhere, and they are all mistakes that you can't expect at all... Lord Xia, do you think I'm too stupid? ”

"Huh? No, isn't it..."Xia Yan waved his hand, "There have been many ministers who have had this idea from you before, but they haven't done it, it's not your problem, this matter... It's really harder..."

"Lord Xia, you still need to pay attention to this matter in the court, after all, just relying on Tao Zhongwen's words, I'm afraid it won't have much effect..."Peng Yue seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly reminded Xia Yan again.

"Uh... I know..."Xia Yan scratched his head, and his tone was a little worried, "Things have been very complicated recently, and I don't know what to do..."

"It seems that the two of us are not in a good mood today, haha..." Peng Yue looked at Xia Yan and smiled, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for the same disease, but he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

"Yes..."Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue and smiled, "Forget it, don't think about those annoying things, sometimes you should find a reason to make yourself happy, otherwise... It's so tiring..."

"Yes, I want to find a reason to make myself happy, that's right..."Peng Yue leaned back in the chair and rubbed his eyebrows, "In fact, there are too many things in the heart, too many desires, and the more unhappy people are..."

"Yes, the more desires, the more unhappy you become, but... If a man has no desire, how is he different from an animal? Yes? Haha..."Xia Yan himself also changed to a more comfortable posture to sit, fortunately, there was no one in the living room, otherwise the "chic" sitting posture of the two of them was really not good for outsiders to see.

"Zirui, you said that if you really finish the matter of opening a private mouth this time, will you stop and never do anything else?" Xia Yan turned his face sideways to look at Peng Yue, with a playful expression on his face.

"I..." Peng Yue opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer, because he really hadn't thought about this question carefully, maybe he had thought about it a long time ago, and planned what he was going to do step by step, but now he forgot about it, because things didn't go as smoothly as he planned, and it was so difficult to do, he found that his naïve idea of step-by-step reform was ridiculously naïve, what could he change? In fact, it hasn't changed much, but he can't just watch and not do anything, which makes it even more uncomfortable, but now Peng Yue doesn't know what to do, what he wants to do, too much to do, Peng Yue finds that he has no idea where to start.

"What? Don't know how to answer? Haha..."Xia Yan straightened up and smiled at Peng Yue, "Actually, I sometimes feel that you are very strange, different from many ministers in the court, and some words are not good on the table, but everyone knows that they are mixed in the sea of eunuchs, and they only want to be promoted and make a fortune, at least most people think like this, but you don't think so..."

"Actually, sometimes I can't figure out what you're thinking, you always like to do something... Laborious not very good thing, the result is not known to feel ... Pull me into the water..."Xia Yan said, and he laughed along, "Actually, I also know that your heart is good, so I'm willing to help you, but you also have to pay attention, don't play with fire**, after all, only by saving yourself, can you have the opportunity to do more..."

"Well, I know..."Peng Yue nodded, but a sense of sadness surged in his heart, "I am now truly aware of the weakness of my strength, and my enthusiasm has almost been consumed, I originally wanted to accompany Ling'er when I finished my private conversation, but... God didn't give me that chance..."

"The past... Just let him go..."Xia Yan saw Peng Yue mention Ziling again, he was really afraid that he would be emotional again for a while, so he wanted to divert the topic.

"Yes, people always have to look forward, but I'm taking one step at a time now..."Peng Yue's laughter was a little helpless, "Actually, I want to do a good job of opening a private mouth now, and I also have thoughts for Ling'er..."

"Forget it, don't talk about it..."Peng Yue rubbed his eyes, "I'm not in a hurry to open a private mouth recently, isn't there another urgent report in the northwest?" The war on the frontier is what the emperor is most worried about now, but what can Lord Xia do? ”

"Alas, I'm in a good mood, and you want to bother me with this kind of thing." Xia Yan said with a smile, and then frowned again, "I'm also worried about this matter now, I'm not a proficient military person, but this matter has to be solved, and I'm very embarrassed now, and now it's not just in the northwest, there is also a rebellion in the Jianghuai area, alas, it's really annoying." ”

"The other ministers don't have any good ideas?"

"In addition to me in the cabinet now, only Gu Dingchen is left, but... Gu Dingchen really doesn't have any skills that he can do except for being able to write green words..."There was a hint of contempt in Xia Yan's eyes, but then there was a hint of worry, "Gu Dingchen's health has been deteriorating recently, and he always asks the emperor for sick leave, so don't expect him to take any good measures..."

"What about the six ministers? Isn't there anyone on the subject? ”

"Yes, there is, but there is really nothing useful..."Xia Yan sighed helplessly, "Especially those officials of the Ministry of War, they are simply angry with me, what I said on the song is quite good, but it is nonsense, pointing to this kind of splendid article to destroy the enemy?" What a delusion! ”

"What? Zirui, do you have any good ideas? ”

"No, no, no... What good ideas can I have, I really don't know anything about military affairs..."Peng Yue smiled and waved his hand, "But I can recommend a few people to Lord Xia, maybe they can solve Lord Xia's worries..."

"Huh? Who? Xia Yan had an anxious expression, "I don't have to worry about the people you recommend, basically everyone is a plastic talent, I sometimes wonder why you look at people so accurately." ”

When Peng Yue heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "Lord Xia has won the award, but Lord Xia is too busy on weekdays, so he doesn't care much about some low-level officials..."

"Okay, okay, don't be polite, let's say who it is..."

"There is a person who is now in Shanxi, named Zeng Miao, who is a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing, and this person is a general, so I suggest that he be promoted to the trilateral general system and directly let him manage the military affairs in the northwest..."

"It's... If I remember correctly, Zeng Mian should be a civil official, and if he was directly promoted to the trilateral system, the emperor would definitely not agree. ”

"Lord Xia, although he is a civilian official, he has a strong talent in military affairs, if he can't be promoted so quickly, then at least he must be given actual authority..."

"Okay, I believe you..."Xia Yan nodded, "The military affairs of the northwest will let him participate in the management first, and in addition, this time the border chaos will be recommended by him to deal with it, and take the opportunity to see if he has real talent... Oh, Zirui, I didn't disbelieve you, but for the sake of prudence, I still have to test it. ”

"It's okay, it's necessary..."Peng Yue smiled with relief, "Lord Xia, the second person I recommend to you is also a civil official, this person's name is Yang Bo, and he is also a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing, although his name is not well known now, but you can test him, he is different from Zeng Miao, he is not very good at marching and fighting, but he is a head above others in terms of military opinions, this time you can consult him, I believe he is also willing to inform, after all, he is not high in rank now, and I also hope to have the opportunity to be promoted... ”

"I don't need to say the last person, you also know, Zhang Jing, the right attendant of the military department, didn't he just suppress the Yaomin uprising in Guangxi last year?"

"Oh, if you don't say it, I'll forget, I'm just staring at these military officials who stayed in the capital..."Xia Yan patted his head, "But isn't he transferred to Liangguang now?" I don't know if I can pull away..."

"It's a matter of urgency, I think this matter is the most reliable, so you can ask the emperor to transfer him to the Jianghuai area to suppress the rebellion."

"Well, I'm not worried about Zhang Jing, but... I believe in you, I believe in these two people, whether the border chaos can be solved this time depends on the two of them. Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Lord Xia, the emperor attaches great importance to the border turmoil, I expected... After that, the chaos will be even worse, and the emperor will inevitably worry about it..."Peng Yue said, his expression also became solemn, "Lord Xia may wish to study more military affairs when he is free..."

"Yes, I also think so..."Xia Yan leaned forward, "There is no need for the two of us to hide, now that the northwest is in turmoil, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be quiet in the future, Zirui is usually fine, you might as well read more military books, I think you can learn something quite quickly, haha..."

"I... Okay, it's a physical skill after all, so it's okay to take a look at it more..."Actually, Peng Yue wanted to say that he really didn't want to take care of this mess anymore, but it's always right to think about learning more skills, what if one day this skill works wonders and protects himself?

"If you can really relieve the emperor's worries this time, it will be a great achievement, haha..."Xia Yan said as he buttoned the table case with his fingers, "He Guo Xun is a military general in vain, but he can't give any opinion on the chaos here, just when the emperor asked the opinions of the ministers, he actually asked the emperor for sick leave, can the emperor not see this intention?" That's a lot to do. ”

"Yes, there are more and more things in the court at the moment, the emperor likes to be able to ministers, if Guo Xun retreats every time, I believe that he will fall out of favor soon, always relying on speculation and flattery, after all, it is not a long-term strategy..."

"Yes, that's a good point, the emperor likes to be able to minister." Xia Yan obviously didn't notice Peng Yue's emotional changes, "When doing things in front of the emperor, you always have to pay attention to ability and merit, and it is naturally indispensable to figure out the emperor's intentions, but if you want to put all your thoughts on it, it is putting the cart before the horse... By the way, Zirui, if you have time, you can also flip through the military books. ”

"Well, I made a note of..."

"Although Guo Xun didn't do much to the border turmoil, the emperor didn't necessarily alienate him because of this, this person is still a ** annoyance to stay in the court..."Xia Yan put his hand on the table, and the sorrow on his face gradually revealed, "And now Huo Tao and Guo Xun are completely allied, hmph, speaking of this Huo Tao is also an angry person, using his power in the Zhan Mansion to trouble me again and again, and staying in the court is also a scourge!" ”

"Lord Xia, do you really want to get rid of Guo Xun so much?"

"Of course, this person has done nothing above the government, but he has done a lot of bad things, I really don't know how the emperor can tolerate him, such a scum, if you don't get rid of him, will you still keep him to harm the government?" Xia Yan said angrily.

"It's not the time yet, but the opportunity is coming soon..."Peng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "You work hard to solve the messy things, you will have chips in your hands, and other things will be talked about later, in short, you don't have to worry too much about Guo Xun, I said, this person is arrogant and arrogant, even if you don't do it, he will kill himself sooner or later..."

"Okay, okay, let's not mention him for now, let's solve the chaos first..."Xia Yan heard Peng Yue say that, and it was not good to complain more, "It's just that Huo Tao always changes his way to trouble me and stumble on me, what a villain!" ”

"You don't have to worry about him, he's not far from death..."

"Huh?"

"Uh... I mean, he's not been in good health lately..."

"Oh..."
