The wind is cold, mixed with snowflakes, falling on the face like a small knife, blowing painfully, even if wearing a thick fox fur, it can't stop the invasion of the wind and snow, and the people who are walking are hurrying by, hurry up to find a place to avoid the wind and snow.

But someone stood in the wind and snow, standing for half an hour, and the top and shoulders of his head were already full of snowflakes, and he didn't know how to shake them off.

Zhou Shuo really couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a low voice: "Lord Tang, it's not early, Bacheng can't come today, you better rest, don't freeze." ”

Tang Yi shook his head slightly: "You don't know, my master said that if he arrives today, it will be impossible to come tomorrow, even if there is a knife in the sky, he will come." ”

While he was talking, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the wind and snow in the distance, and then from far and near, more than a dozen war horses galloped over, and when they saw Tang Yi and his group from a distance, they hurriedly jumped off the war horses.

"Hahaha, okay, it's too late for the teacher, it's too late!"

The person who came was Tang Shunzhi, Tang Yi and the teacher hadn't seen each other for almost a year, and I saw that Tang Shunzhi had not changed much from before, except that there were a few more gray hairs on his sideburns. After seeing the ceremony, Tang Yi noticed that due to the teacher's long-distance running, the heat of the teacher's body melted the snowflakes that fell on his shoulders, and he was wet and wet, and he was blown by the wind and snow, it was wet and cold, and it must be freezing cold.

Tang Yi's nose was sour, and he quickly took off his fox fur and draped it on the teacher's body, Tang Shunzhi was slightly stunned, but just patted Tang Yi's shoulder dotingly, and didn't say anything.

Their intimacy, in Tang Hezheng's eyes, is quite delicious, and those who don't know think that the two of them are biological father and son!

Tang Yi led the way in front, took the teacher to Tongzhou Station, and entered the room, the three large braziers exuded a blazing temperature, as if it was spring all of a sudden.

The chairs on either side are covered with wolfskin cushions. It's so warm to look at.

Tang Shunzhi's face sank, "Do you still know the rules of being a teacher?" ”

"You know, you don't make a stove in winter, you don't fan in summer, and you don't know how to change a piece of clothing after ten or eight years." Tang Yi is like a treasure.

Tang Shunzhi said angrily: "Do you know that you are still like this, do you want to be angry with me?" ”

Tang Yi smiled. "Master, you sit down first, bake the fire, turn around and have a big bowl of ginger syrup to drink, and then soak in a hot bath. Along the way, the wind and frost invaded, the body can't bear it, you are not old or young, don't do it! ”

Tang Hezheng almost fell off the bead. The heart said that his senior brother was really too bold, if his father could listen to people's persuasion, would he still be Tang Jingchuan?

Who knows, Tang Shunzhi's bad temper is useless to the apprentice, although he has a calm face, he is at the mercy of Tang Yi, rips off the wet cotton robe, and pushes him to sit next to the brazier.

Someone brought sugar water again. Tang Yi forced the teacher to drink a big bowl, and then he let out a long breath.

Tang Shunzhi didn't appreciate it. scolded: "Extravagant, greedy for pleasure, you have no growth at all!" No, the more I live, the more I go back, I just drank the ginger syrup, is there ginseng? ”

Tang Yi gritted his teeth and smiled. "You're really old, you didn't put much, a wild ginseng weighing seven taels."

"What?"

Tang Shunzhi was angry and scolded angrily: "You rebel, you want to be angry with me." A ginseng of more than seven taels can be bought for three or five thousand taels in the southeast, and a few sips can drink the income of hundreds of families for a year, you are a loser! ”

Tang Shunzhi was so angry that he grabbed the big bowl and wanted to drop it, but he suddenly found that this bowl turned out to be from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, and it was worth hundreds of taels on the market, so he was reluctant to fall, so he could only turn his head in anger and simply not look at Tang Yi.

Tang Yi didn't care, and smiled lightly: "Master, what do you think is the most powerful thing about Yan Ge Lao?" ”

"Forming a party for personal gain, mouthing honey and belly sword, reversing black and white, framing Zhongliang!"

"Wrong!" Tang Yi laughed and said: "The most powerful thing about Yan Ge is his body, he has lived for seventy years, and now he is almost eighty years old, and he is still alive and well, and he is in the cabinet every day, and he can't do without His Majesty." If you want to mix in the officialdom, you can defeat the opponent if you want to, or you can kill the opponent, in short, only by surviving to the end is the winner. ”

Tang Yi put away his cynicism, and his face became extremely grim.

"Master, you just don't take yourself too seriously, you always think about your hard work and hard work, that's not cultivation, it's self-abuse!" Tang Yi said earnestly: "In the south, you can throw off your arms and do things desperately, when you get to the capital, it's different, here is the heart of the eye, the fight is a strategy, not only to do things, but also to be able to smell the direction of the wind, look at the momentum, there is a lot of energy, it is good to be able to do things with three points, and the other seven points should be used to deal with open guns and hidden arrows, otherwise you can't stand up and stand still!" ”

Tang Hezheng's face changed color when he heard this, and he asked in horror: "Senior brother, isn't the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can it be so dangerous?" ”

"A companion is like a tiger!" Tang Yi sighed and said, "Master, if you don't change your temper, the disciple can only persuade you to go back to Jiangnan." ”

Tang Shunzhi stretched his face and said angrily: "Stinky boy, I know you are for my good, but don't be too arrogant, you kid don't be too arrogant, I am your master, and I am the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering of the Ming Dynasty, and you kid is not qualified to teach me!" ”

"Hehe, Master, do you know where this Ministry of Works book came from?"

Tang Shunzhi was stunned, "Wasn't it recommended by Xu Huating?" ”

"Hee-hee!" Tang Yi smiled proudly, "Xu Jie recommended you at the court meeting, but it was a disciple who recommended you to His Majesty before, so you have half of the credit for being a disciple in the Ministry of Engineering." ”

Tang Shunzhi was furious, pointed at Tang Yi's head, and scolded: "Stinky boy, do you want the teacher to be grateful to you?" ”

"Of course not." Tang Yi immediately denied it and said with a smile: "The disciple just wants to say, in fact, you don't have to thank Xu Jie so much, and you don't have to work hard for him, our master and apprentice can't be other people's pawns, no matter how noble the goal is, you can't sacrifice yourself!" ”

These few words came out, like hot oil splashed in the snow, Tang Shunzhi's qi all ran out of the clouds, only a long sigh remained, he grabbed the apprentice's shoulder hard, and let go again after a while.

"Okay, on the way to come as a teacher, I met Zhao Wenhua."

"Oh, how's he doing?"

"Dead." Tang Shunzhi said lightly: "Right in front of me, the intestines are rotten, and the blood is flowing all over the ground, not to mention how miserable it is." ”

Tang Shunzhi's words were bland, but it was like a thunderbolt bursting open, which shocked Tang Yi, he really couldn't imagine that Zhao Wenhua, who was once in the limelight, would end up like this!

After the raid, the gold, silver and jewelry alone were discounted by more than 3 million taels, and the rest of the properties were numerous, not to mention those in the inner city, he left more than 300 shops in the outer city.

Family property, field property, and dry stocks of shops and workshops, when converted, it is not about the same as 10 million taels, and Jiajing eats with a round belly and burps.

1.5 million taels were left to build the Yuxi Palace, and the rest of the money was allocated to the household department, which repaid the loan of 2 million taels over the years, and gave relief to the victims as military salaries.

For the sake of so much money, Jiajing actually had a trace of pity for Zhao Wenhua, did not cut off his head, and asked Jinyi Wei to send Zhao Wenhua to his hometown and take care of him.

It's just that Zhao Wenhua usually offends too many people, seeing that he is unlucky, he congratulates each other, and everyone has written to impeach, and impeached Zhao Wenhua for embezzling military salaries, you 300,000, I 500,000, he 800,000, calculated and calculated, Zhao Wenhua's family property is not only not enough to fill the hole, but also owes the court a lot of money.

Jiajing was angry, and did not kill Zhao Wenhua, but ordered the Zhao family to repay the debt, it doesn't matter now, the Zhao family has been carrying debts for decades, and finally waited until the time of the Wanli Dynasty, begging for forgiveness, but not only did not agree, but also drove Zhao Wenhua's son to the edge of the land of smoke and miasma......

Besides, Zhao Wenhua was escorted out of the capital, passed through Tongzhou, stayed in a small town, was catching up with the wind and snow, there was nothing to eat, only brown rice and salted radish, when did he Zhao Wenhua eat this kind of thing, and the wife and concubine who followed him also cried, so angry that Zhao Wenhua flicked his sleeves and returned to the room.

slept all night, and the next morning, someone brought hot porridge, Zhao Wenhua was hungry all night, smelled the rice fragrance, and drank it without much thought.

It happened that Tang Shunzhi took his son Tang Hezheng to the capital to take office, and met Zhao Wenhua, the two of them had a game in the same year, Zhao Wenhua begged Tang Shunzhi to get him a table of wine and food, and had a good chat, Tang Shunzhi nodded and agreed.

Before the food was bought, Zhao Wenhua muttered that his stomach hurt, and he suddenly fell to the ground, constantly tearing with his hands, and blood flowed from his navel, Tang Shunzhi was startled, and before he could stop it, Zhao Wenhua was like crazy, and he pulled his belly hard, and his intestines gushed out together, blood flowed all over the ground, and the smell was sky-high.

Zhao Wenhua stared at the bull's eye, and a stream of black blood gushed out of his eye socket, his intestines were rotten, and his seven orifices were bleeding, and his death was really miserable!

Although Tang Shunzhi hated Zhao Wenhua, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw him end so tragically. So much so that when I was in a hurry, I made a mistake several times, and it wasn't until it was dark that I rushed to Tongzhou and joined Tang Yi.

"That's what happens when you're a lackey!" Tang Yi shook his head, was silent for a while, and then said, "Master, Your Majesty originally intended for you to take over as the secretary of the ministry. ”

Tang Shunzhi's fingers shook slightly, and he said with a smile: "Okay, Your Majesty's love for you has reached this point, it is really amazing for the teacher!" ”

"Actually, it's a fluke, it's just a fluke." Tang Yi said with a smile: "Someone falsely accused the disciple, Your Majesty Xu was upset, so he casually asked a few words, and the disciple recommended you to take over the helm of the Great Sikong." ”

"Why not Dazai?" Tang Shunzhi broke out, "The new year is the year of Jingcha, as long as you master the ministry and destroy the traitorous party, it is only in one thought, why don't you let the master eradicate the traitorous party and achieve supreme merit?" ”

Tang Shunzhi was not calm anymore, and spat at Xingzi sprayed Tang Yi in the face.

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "Master, it's not that the disciple is unwilling, but that he can't!" ”

"Why?" Tang Shunzhi asked.

Tang Yi pointed to his head, "Tianxin is like this, Yan Song is almost eighty years old, the backbone of the Yan Party, such as Wu Shan, Wu Peng, Ouyang Bijin, Fang Blun, Xu Yan, Zhou Yan, etc., are already not young, at most three or five years, at least one or two years, it is time to retire one after another, Your Majesty wants the Yan Party to wither naturally!"
