"Alas..."Xia Yan sighed lightly, leaning back in his chair, his expression a little dazed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Lord Xia, is there something unpleasant?" Peng Yue asked, he could see that Xia Yan's movements were slight, and he should be unwilling to let others see what he was thinking. But since Peng Yue captured this, he was unwilling to let it go easily.

And Peng Yue knew that Xia Yan was an important person in history, so in these days in the Ministry of Officials, he always found opportunities to get close to him. And the two talked about it quite speculatively, Peng Yue felt that his relationship with Xia Yan was getting closer and closer, so Peng Yue didn't want to avoid it.

"It's nothing, it's just that the affairs of the ministry are a little complicated these days..."Xia Yan said, pointing to the pile of official documents on the table, "You have also seen it, so many things, it makes people some... It's a mess..."

"I see..."Peng Yue smiled, and didn't expose it, but just sat next to Xia Yan.

He didn't expect Xia Yan to be so cautious, but Peng Yue also understood. are all people who have been in the officialdom for a long time, who would fall in love with each other because of a few long conversations, not to mention the extremely smart Xia Yan in front of him.

"This official business is indeed a bit much..."Peng Yue said as he picked up an official document placed on the top, "But with the talent of Lord Xia, he shouldn't worry about this little thing, right?" ”

"Hmm..." Xia Yan stared at Peng Yue in some silence, he could naturally hear what Peng Yue was saying, but for this new junior official, he naturally refused to trust it easily.

In fact, the relationship between Xia Yan and Peng Yue is acceptable, and since the two worked together in the ministry, they often talked happily with each other. But Xia Yan always clicked to the point, and did not have an in-depth conversation with Peng Yue. And Peng Yue seems to know his own mind very well, and he doesn't ask too much every time, but Xia Yan doesn't know why Peng Yue is not as "sensible" as before this time.

"The DPRK and China need to do their best to handle official affairs, and if they want to do everything well, it will naturally not be easy." Xia Yan found a reason to prevaricate.

"Actually, it's not a difficult thing to do all the official business of the DPRK and China..."Peng Yue said this, pausing deliberately, "But if you want to satisfy everyone in the DPRK and China, it will be difficult." ”

"Oh? Why did Zirui say this? Although Xia Yan asked like this, he already understood what Peng Yue meant in his heart, but he didn't want to say it yet.

Xia Yan didn't know why, but unconsciously became a little closer to the fledgling little official in front of him in his heart. These days, Xia Yan and Peng Yue have not had a lot of exchanges, and Xia Yan also sensed that although Peng Yue was young, whether it was his mind or talent, compared to many officials, Xia Yan could praise him. Many people like such smart people, and Xia Yan naturally likes them too.

And Xia Yan can sense that this Peng Yue is deliberately showing favor to himself, and now he takes the initiative to ask his own questions, and it seems that there is really no malice, so Xia Yan is really grateful to Peng Yue, because he is not a dignitary in the court now, in the capital, he is similar to Peng Yue, and he is also a petty official. Peng Yue was close to him at this time, otherwise he was sincerely intersecting without any interest considerations. Otherwise, he has a "vicious eye", can see his political potential, and is an extremely intelligent person. And no matter which point it is, Peng Yue is worthy of Xia Yan's deep friendship.

"The affairs of the court and the central government, Lord Xia is meticulous, these are all in the eyes..."Peng Yue put the official document in his hand on the table again, he saw the strange brilliance in Xia Yan's eyes, "It's just that if you want to satisfy the emperor and let the ministers of the court agree, it will be difficult..."

"You're right..."Xia Yan barely squeezed out a smile when he heard this, "If you want to satisfy the ministers, it's difficult..."

When Peng Yue heard Xia Yan say this, he knew that Xia Yan had the heart to tell him, and his heart became relaxed, "Actually, you don't have to let all the ministers agree, but some ministers still have to pay attention..."

Peng Yue looked down at his feet, "After all, this power... In the hands of others..."

"Zirui, it's not too early, let's deal with the rest of these official duties tomorrow..."Xia Yan said and got up to leave.

"Why is Lord Xia so anxious?" Peng Yue stared at Xia Yan tightly, his eyes seemed to nail him there, "I didn't expect Lord Xia to still be so distrustful of me, it seems that I am in vain as Yang Yiqing Yang's nephew..."

"Zirui, what does this mean?" Xia Yan said, then turned around and looked back at Peng Yue, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Lord Xia, I am a close relative of Lord Yang, if it weren't for Lord Yang, I wouldn't be able to enter the imperial court..."Peng Yue put his hand on the table, and there seemed to be countless words hidden in his eyes, "This kindness, family affection, is naturally remembered in my heart, and I dare not forget it in my life..."

"Your mind... I naturally understand..."Xia Yan obviously heard Peng Yue's words, but he needed to think and decide, because as long as the next words were spoken, the meaning would be different, maybe the young official in front of him, who had not known him for a long time, would become his firm ally, maybe... Who knows? Before the benefits, no one can say clearly.

"No, Lord Xia, you may not understand..."Peng Yue's tone was a little choked, "This blood and water family affection, this kindness of knowing each other, is actually much stronger than some friendship with the same family, and the interests of officialdom are much stronger..."

"Yes, Lord Yang is an upright official, knows people well, and is indeed a generation of virtuous ministers..."Xia Yan naturally heard the meaning of Peng Yue's words, but he would never say it first.

"Since Lord Xia knows that Lord Yang is a generation of virtuous ministers, why don't you believe me?" Peng Yue's tone was a little indignant, "The reason why Lord Yang got this ending is very clear to everyone, since Lord Xia also understands my thoughts, why can't he be honest with me, is it because he is afraid that I will not succeed in voting for that Zhang Xuan?" ”

Peng Yue's words are no longer unmistakable, Xia Yan knows that he can't pretend to be confused anymore, he must give Peng Yue a clear answer, and now Xia Yan chooses to believe in the person in front of him who feels very different about him.

"Zi Ruiyan is serious..."Xia Yan sat back in his seat and leaned next to Peng Yue, "What do you want to know, but it doesn't hurt to ask..."

"I don't want to embarrass Lord Xia..."Peng Yue smiled lightly, "It's just that I see that Lord Xia is worried, so I want to do my best, if Lord Xia has something unspeakable, I will definitely not ask again!" ”

After looking around and confirming that there was no one, Xia Yan sighed. Zhao Peng Yue whispered: "Recently, I have made two excerpts for the emperor, which is quite popular with the emperor, but I am disobedient to Zhang Xuan, and I have never shown favor to him on weekdays, who knows that he has been..."

In the past few days, Zhang Xuan has always spoken out to reprimand Xia Yan, Peng Yue naturally knows about this, otherwise Peng Yue would not have asked such a question today. And he also knew that Xia Yan and Zhang Xuan were not only in this contradiction, they also had many other grievances, big and small. Moreover, Xia Yan is usually more strong, and he has also had some conflicts with other members of Zhang Zhang's party, so Zhang Zhang's party secretly attacked Xia Yan.

And last time, Zhu Houxi wanted to promote Xia Yan to be Taichangqing, but was blocked by Zhang Zhang. Moreover, Zhang Xuan also appointed Peng Ze, who he trusted but had no prestige in the court, which also made Xia Yan very annoyed. However, due to his low position and small power in the DPRK and China, he can only choose to forbear, but the seeds of hatred have already germinated in Xia Yan's heart.

In recent days, Zhang Xuan has continued to reprimand Xia Yan, which undoubtedly adds another fire to the already fragile relationship between the two, but Xia Yan is really helpless about it, so Xia Yan's embarrassing situation is naturally about to be detected by Peng Yue.

"Lord Xia, you don't have to worry too much about this..."Peng Yue decided to take this opportunity to form a complete political alliance with Xia Yan, because he knew Xia Yan's ability. Although Xia Yan is out of power now, it is not a good thing for him, and it is always easier for people to remember and be grateful than icing on the cake. If he chooses to help Xia Yan in this situation, Xia Yan will definitely be grateful for his kindness. Peng Yue knew that although Xia Yan had a lot of scheming, he was definitely a good person, and he should not be ungrateful.

"Although Zhang Xuan is powerful, no matter what, he still has to obey the emperor, so as long as the emperor agrees, it is good..."Peng Yue knew that Xia Yan understood this truth in his heart, but he still said it, because he couldn't think of better words to comfort Xia Yan now.

"I know this, but I can't help Zhang Xuan is powerful, and I don't have any foundation, with my own strength, I'm afraid it is..."

"Oh... I understand..."Peng Yue stood up suddenly, "Lord Xia, what you lack is just someone who can agree with you and promote your political opinions, but I now have something that can help you." ”

Looking at Xia Yan's somewhat confused eyes, Peng Yue said proudly: "My lord, do you remember the "newspaper matter" I mentioned to you? ”

Xia Yan thought thoughtfully: "Oh...", but quickly turned to ask: "Are you sure this thing..."

Peng Yue saw the distrust in Xia Yan's eyes: "Don't worry, my lord, the newspaper "I have been camping for many days, and the initial results have been achieved, and the emperor is also quite appreciative of this." I don't know if you remember that last time the emperor wanted to make Emperor Xingxian take the title further, the ministers in the court all opposed it, and even Zhang Xuan and others resolutely disagreed, and then the emperor ordered me to publish the few pieces of support for the emperor in the newspaper, and as a result..."

"This thing is indeed very useful, and public opinion is suppressed... Xia Yan couldn't help but ponder, he finally understood why many ministers chose to compromise last time, because under the vigorous propaganda of the newspapers, many petty officials who had no real power began to support Zhu Houxi's ideas, because they saw the hope of participating in politics there.

"I am now in charge of the newspaper, and my lordship can publish my opinion in the newspaper and circulate it inside and outside the court." Peng Yue looked at Xia Yan and observed the change in his expression.

"Is Zirui really willing to lend me the newspaper?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.

At this time, Xia Yan had already analyzed the pros and cons of this matter thoroughly, and he understood that he did not lack Zhu Houxi's support now, but only the support of his colleagues. But if you have a newspaper, you can naturally get the approval of many powerless petty officials, because they don't have many opportunities to participate in political affairs. He invisibly has a lot of support, and it will not cause Zhu Houxi's taboo about forming a party.

"Of course..."Peng Yue is naturally happy to sell Xia Yan such a favor now, "Since the first sentence I asked Lord Xia, I have made up my mind in my heart.

"So thank you Zirui." Xia Yan saluted Peng Yue respectfully, knowing in his heart that what he had gained at this moment was not just that newspaper, but a firm ally.

"My lord is in a hurry..."Peng Yue smiled and helped Xia Yan up.
