Knocking down Zhao Wenhua is the first step for Peng Yue to launch a counterattack again, and in his opinion, the reason why Yan Song has big roots is largely because he has too many minions, and Peng Yue's task now is to kill these minions of Yan Song. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has been suppressed and aggrieved in the court for too long, but he has never given up, he has been closely watching Yan Song's every move, examining his various behaviors, looking for flaws at the same time, he is also learning his tactics and methods.

He is confident that he is also constantly growing, gradually narrowing the gap with Yan Song, and in the process, he has become a resourceful and unfathomable person.

This kind of forbearance and silence is not an end, but a means, to wait for a more powerful explosion, and now, it is the perfect opportunity for yourself.

In Yan Song's view, this Xu Jie has unconsciously become a person he can't control: the secretary of the ministry, the scholar of the East Pavilion University, the prince and the prince, and the second assistant of the cabinet. If Xu Jie didn't make a big mistake like Xia Yan, Yan Song would never be able to move him, and Yan Song was frustrated to find that this Xu Jie was smarter and more cautious than Xia Yan at the beginning.

In this struggle, Yan Song gradually went downhill, and Xu Jie thought that he was now in an advantage, but what happened next made him realize that he was still far away.

It was a daily work report, and when everything was said, Xu Jie turned around and wanted to leave, but was surprised to find Yan Song standing there, as if waiting for something.

Xu Jie's keen political sense made Xu Jie's footsteps unconsciously full, he felt that something would happen, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Houxi take out some colorless mushrooms and hand them to Yan Song, Yan Song naturally took it, and then glanced at Xu Jie proudly, and walked away.

Zhu Houxi, who was sitting on it, seemed to realize Xu Jie's embarrassment, so he said with a smile, "Zisheng, you are now serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and you are very busy with government affairs, so don't do anything like alchemy."

At that moment, Xu Jie was like suffering from five thunderbolts: it turned out that Yan Song had already started alchemizing for Zhu Houxi!

This is different from the ordinary ministers offering pills, but a kind of tacit friendship and mutual sharing. Zhu Houxi gave the alchemy raw materials to Yan Song, and Yan Song also followed the cultivation and enjoyed together.

Xu Jie believes that Yan Song doesn't like things like cultivating Taoism and metaphysics, but because of Zhu Houxi, he is willing to toss these things, and it is because of these "common interests and hobbies" that their relationship is getting closer and closer.

The silence between Zhu Houxi and Yan Song, the actions between the two, the tacit understanding between the two, and the avoidance of themselves by the two of them really don't look like the relationship between an emperor and a courtier, at that moment, they are like a pair of Peng Yue who are sharing good things together, and Xu Jie is like the disgusted outsider.

and Zhu Houxi's words that wanted to cover up, which further shortened the distance between Xu Jie and them, which shows that Zhu Houyu himself also has this awareness: he must be more biased towards Yan Song in his heart, both intellectually and emotionally.

Xu Jie finally encountered the dilemma that Peng Yue encountered at that time: Yan Song had stayed by Zhu Houxi's side for too long, and Zhu Houyi had become accustomed to Yan Song's careful welcome and contact with him, they were monarchs and ministers, but they were also friends to some extent.

But Xu Jie is different, he, like Peng Yue, is just a capable employee in the final analysis, but no matter how well he does his job, he is not as good as the friend who plays well with the boss.

Xu Jie felt a kind of despair, because he realized how difficult this small gap was to break through, but he was unwilling to give up, he couldn't give up, he had fought for so long and endured so much, what was it for?

So Xu Jie turned around and slowly knelt down, "I am willing to refine medicine for Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will grant permission!" ”

Xu Jie no longer cares who Zhu Houxi believes, and doesn't care whether he patronizes the Tao or not, because he can't control it at all. What he can do is to do his best to become the most trusted person of Zhu Houxi, and then be the guardian of this empire, and not allow people like Yan Song to act recklessly.

In the following days, Xu Jie worked hard to please Zhu Houxi, wanting to realize the role transformation from a courtier to a friend like Yan Song.

At the same time, his attitude towards Yan Song became more and more respectful, and even did the following things that ordinary people could not do: first, he promised his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson as a concubine, second, he did not speak in the cabinet, and everything depended on Yan Song's snort, and third, he moved his household registration from Shanghai to Jiangxi in the name of avoiding the Japanese and became Yan Song's hometown.

There is only one purpose for this: to paralyze Yan Song and wait for an opportunity to fight back.

This is really not a move that ordinary people can do, especially when a person's power reaches a certain height, no one is willing to make friends with another person in such a low voice, which is also the reason why Peng Yue felt that he was not as good as Xu Jie in terms of power and strategy no matter what, because he was definitely not as good as him in terms of forbearance.

In fact, Xu Jie's heart was also uncomfortable and painful, he wrote to Peng Yue in the southeast more than once to complain, but Peng Yue didn't have much time to deal with him now, just told him that the time had not come, and he waited patiently, because he was now busy because of the chaos in the southeast.

After Wang Zhi's death, those thieves on the southeast coast were like crazy, and fell into disorderly robbery and plunder, and they also implemented the principle of changing places with one shot, and ran away after robbing, which really stretched the distribution of military strength among officers and men.

In this case, Peng Yue could only take some emergency measures, such as strengthening the city defense patrol, several classes of soldiers in shifts, although the workload was larger, but the effect was indeed very significant, at least to prevent the raid of the Japanese invaders.

Secondly, Peng Yue increased the punishment of fornication thieves and thieves who took advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, if there is any of the above situation, it is basically a death, and even the family will be implicated, but it has also formed a lot of deterrent.

However, these are only emergency measures, and the most important and critical thing is strength, and in this case, if you want to enhance your strength, you must train your troops and train a strong army.

Now Peng Yue has let go of the firearm team he brought out of the capital and handed it over to Qi Jiguang for training, because he found that sometimes the weapon is superior, and it may not necessarily win.

A while ago, there was an encounter with the Japanese Bandits, and the fire team that Peng Yue brought from the capital suffered a lot of losses, because many of them were Japanese ronins wearing katanas.

Their kung fu is really powerful, the knife is extremely fast, and they are specially cut at people's vital places, even if they are equipped with firearms, as long as they miss a blow, they are in danger of dying.

In addition, the terrain was not advantageous at that time, the Ming army killed a lot of people, and they robbed a lot of firearms, on this battle, Peng Yue and Hu Zongxian have been pressing, and they did not dare to report.

Now counting on Qi Jiguang to train the army quickly, Peng Yue has already asked for one of the six parts of "Wu" from Tang Shunzhi, and specially handed it over to Qi Jiguang to study the method of military training.

"You have to come on...", Peng Yue looked at the starry sky and sighed lightly. (To be continued.) )
