When Yue Su returned home, Tie Qi was waiting at the door, and when he saw Yue Su coming, he hurriedly led someone out to greet him.

"Go and call the three ladies to wait for me in the study." Yue Su commanded, walked into the courtyard, and walked directly towards the courtyard where Mu Tianjiao lived.

When he came to the courtyard, sure enough, it was already empty, Yue Su's fists were clenched tightly, and the anger was conceivable. After standing for a moment, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards his study.

At this moment, Tie Qiu had already notified the three ladies to wait in the study, Yue Su entered the study alone, Ruan Aoyue, Li Qiongying, and Fang Cai'er all got up to salute, "Husband, ......"

Yue Su waved his hand, motioned for them to sit down, closed the door with his backhand, and then walked to his place and sat down.

"Tianjiao left with Sen'er, you all know if you want to come." Yue Su glanced at the three ladies.

"Yes......" the third girl nodded.

"Qiongying, why Tianjiao left, you should know best. Meng'er is still studying with Sen'er, tell me, what happened in the days when I was away? Yue Su looked at Li Qiongying and said.

"Yes...... Sen'er hit Mr. Wang with an inkstone....... "Li Qiongying can't hide such things, so she can only tell the truth." Her rhetoric is the same as that of Tong Xuan.

Yue Su nodded after hearing this, suppressed his anger, and said: "In the past, you and Tianjiao both lived in Huguang's hometown, how did Sen'er behave at home?" ”

"This ......" Li Qiongying's face showed embarrassment.

"Hurry up, don't cover up!" Yue Su's voice raised.

"Sen'er is the only son of the Yue family, and everyone at home is naturally pampered and doted. Although he occasionally made some mistakes, he was a child after all. Li Qiongying said cautiously.

"Don't you know what it means to be a habitual son like a murderer? Tell me, he made those mistakes at home...... "Speaking of this, Yue Su suddenly remembered something, that is, when the whole family was having dinner that day, Mu Tianjiao said that the family had invited a teacher for Yue Sen, and later the teacher quit the house because of something at home. However, at that time, Mu Tianjiao's face was not good-looking, obviously there was something else hidden, although Yue Su saw it, he did not expose it in person. Now I remember, and then said: "When Sen'er was at home, didn't I remember that I also invited a teacher for him, how did he treat the teacher, and how did the gentleman teach?" ”

"This ...... I—I don't know ......."

Yue Su has always been not angry and arrogant, and it is difficult for a traitor and evil person to lie in front of Yue Su, let alone Li Qiongying. She was hesitant, Yue Su saw the clue at a glance, this time he didn't have a pleasant face, and shouted: "I told you not to cover up, give me one to say, two to say, if there is any more untruth, I will find out, and immediately leave you with a letter of resignation!" ”

Hearing this, Li Qiongying was startled, it was the first time that Yue Su had made such a big fire in front of her, and she even said that she wanted to divorce her wife, obviously she was really angry. Li Qiongying didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said honestly: "When I was in my hometown, my sister invited two gentlemen to Sen'er, but Meng'er didn't study with her at that time, so I don't know exactly why those two gentlemen quit the museum." I just heard from the people in the house that the first gentleman was splashed with ink by Sen'er, and he also left in a rage. Mr. 2...... Why you left, I really don't know......"

"Okay! Okay! Yue Su angrily slapped the book case and scolded: "Little beast, his face has been thrown away by him!" Dare to run for me, I'll see where he can run for me! ”

After speaking, Yue Su glanced at the three wives again and said, "You all stand down for the time being!" ”

"Yes, husband......"

The three wives got up and retired, and everyone could see that Yue Su was now on fire, so don't provoke it. After the three of them retreated, Yue Su shouted loudly again: "Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu, Hao Quan, Huzi, you all let me in!" ”…,

The voice settled, and six people rushed in, bowed down and said, "My lord." ”

"Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Haoquan, the three of you, immediately take someone out of Beijing, chase me south, and definitely catch that little beast for me!" Yue Su ordered loudly.

"Ah......" The three of them heard this, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to take the order, even if Li Haoquan had always been impulsive, he didn't dare to agree directly. After all, he didn't have no brains and knew who Lord Yue was going to arrest.

"What? Don't even listen to me today? Yue Su said menacingly.

"Your Excellency...... How dare the subordinates not listen to the orders of the adults, just ......" Jin Chan said in embarrassment: "It's just that the son and the second lady are together, if I wait to get someone, and the lady comes forward to stop it, what should I do?" If it is strong, it is really unreasonable, and the lady is the county lord, and there are many guards around her, once you do it, then ......."

Jin Chan's brain is enough, and his words really made Yue Su speechless. Yue Su secretly said in his heart: "What Jin Chan said is good, let them go and arrest it, how can they get it back, it's just a trip for nothing." ”

If you have the heart to chase it in person, it's not appropriate to think about it, now that Huang Taiji is called the emperor, the emperor is anxious to see him, and the matter of facing the monarch cannot be delayed. Moreover, after meeting the king, he must also discuss the matter of starting a war, and national affairs are more important than his own family affairs. Besides, if you chase it yourself, things will inevitably go into a uproar, and the word will go out, and there will be no place to put your face. However, if you don't arrest your son back immediately, it won't work, and the news has already spread in the capital, so you have to let your son go to Mr. Wang to plead guilty.

After thinking about it, Yue Su came up with a plan and said: "Jin Cicada, you are right, you really can't go like this, ...... like this" Yue Su groaned, and then said: "Jin Cicada, you take four people and go south to chase, if you meet Mrs., don't say that you want to catch the little beast, only say that in the capital, the little beast injured Mr. Wang, it has been rumored, I returned to the Beijing Division, heard about this, and suddenly rushed to the heart, fainted, and has not woken up so far." I forgive her for coming back at once when she hears this, and if she returns with your son, it would be better, if she only comes back alone, and let her followers escort her son on his way...... You don't have to worry about him, just go back to Beijing with your wife. ”

"Subordinates obey." As long as he does not use force, Jin Cicada is naturally willing, and hurriedly bows down to receive the order.

At that moment, I heard Yue Su say: "Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu, I will write a letter to Guan Yu here, and then you take this letter and my token and go out of Beijing with the golden cicada, but remember, don't be seen by your wife." If the lady comes back with the golden cicada, you don't have to show up, if the lady only comes back with the golden cicada, after she is far away, you will intercept the little beast for me, give the letter and my token to Guan Yu, and ask him to hand over the person to me. He obediently handed over people, that is the best, if you don't hand over ......" Speaking of this, Yue Su gritted his teeth, "Just snatch people back for me!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Without waiting for Tong Xuan to speak, Tie Qi directly bowed down to receive the order.

Yue Su was also helpless, and then wrote a letter by himself, stamped it with a big seal, and gave his token to Tie Qiu, asking him to take the letter and token with him. Only then did the three of them leave Beijing with fifty escorts.

After Jin Chan and the others left, Yue Su suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Li Haoquan and Yin Zhu to go to the Forbidden City with him. Before leaving, Yue Su asked someone to seal a hundred silver dollars, and sent his men to buy four-color gifts on the street, and after buying them, they waited outside the Forbidden City.

Everything was arranged, Yue Su went to the Forbidden City, and handed a sign outside the palace to meet him. After a while, a little eunuch went out to deliver a decree and asked Yue Su to see him in the study.

Yue Su came to the imperial study, at this moment Zhang Yan and Zhu Ciyan were already waiting inside, and after the ceremony, Yue Su sat down. …,

"Yue Qing, this is the seal sent by the envoy from Huang Taiji, you can take a look first."

As soon as Yue Su sat down, Zhang Yan spoke, and a little eunuch took the seal and presented it to Yue Su. Yue Su took it, unfolded it to take a look, and quickly finished reading it, returned the watch seal to the little eunuch, and then bowed and said: "The emperor, the queen mother, dare to be the emperor, and vainly try to become a brother with my Ming Dynasty, it is simply a humiliation." The minister intended to send troops to Liaodong two years ago to recover the Ming Dynasty, and now he is sending troops. I only ask the emperor and the queen mother to rest assured that this time the troops will be dispatched, and the ministers will be fully sure to pacify Liaodong. ”

"The talent of the Qing family, the mourning family and the emperor have always been assured, and they will be able to succeed if they want to come. It's just that I don't know when the Qing family plans to send troops? Zhang Yan said.

"Now it is the end of the year, Liaodong is cold, it is not suitable for labor expeditions, and the minister thinks that it is not too late to send troops when the spring flowers are blooming. When the time comes, land and water will go hand in hand, and we will be able to reap the full benefits. Yue Su said affirmatively.

"The Qing family is sure of this, that's the best. At such a time, it is indeed not appropriate to send troops, so let's wait until the beginning of spring next year. Zhang Yan said.

"Wechen obeys." Yue Su bowed to answer, and then said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this time the minister went to Rizhao to open the sea, everything went well, and now he has made a lot of profits." The minister is sure that in less than a year, it will be able to bring five million yuan to the imperial court. ”

"So much!" As soon as she heard this number, Zhang Yan was immediately shocked, in such a short time, she could earn so much, and the court could make it now.

"This is only the income obtained in the early stage, and after a stable year, the minister plans to continue to open ports and encourage the private sector to go to sea, and the income will definitely be more at that time." Yue Su said affirmatively.

"Aiqing is really my minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he lives up to the trust of the first emperor, the first emperor is under Jiuquan, and he is very happy to know that the Qing family can achieve this feat." Zhang Yan said affectionately.

"This is the duty of a courtier, the first emperor entrusted the grace of the orphan, the minister will never be repaid, how dare not do his best, and dare not take credit." Yue Su was humble, and then said: "Emperor Qi, when the former governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, once implemented the county order election system in Zhejiang, and for several years, Zhejiang has been like this, and has achieved certain results. Officials don't dare to be greedy for ink, they really do things for the people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so Weichen plans to carry out it elsewhere, I don't know what the emperor wants? ”

The county order election system has indeed made some achievements, especially in Zhejiang, where the people are rich, capitalism is developing, and the consciousness of the people is constantly strengthened. The elected county magistrate, if he does not make the decision for the people, the people can let him dismount, so the elected county magistrates are doing their best one by one. Not only that, but the people of Zhejiang have gradually increased their awareness of the election, and the alternate officials must carry out propaganda and explain what they plan to do after taking office, such as where to build bridges and pave roads, and what business they are trying to develop. Which official says it well, what he says is true, the people choose whom, and then it depends on how well you do. If you say one thing and do another, when you are assessed in the second year, the people will be collectively dissatisfied with the vote and let you step down.

This model was initiated by Lord Yue, and now Yue Su is in full swing, how dare the officials below cheat, especially Yue Su has already spoken, allowing the people to go to Beijing to complain because of this matter, and they can directly go to the criminal department, here. Under the authority, no one in Zhejiang's upper and lower levels dared to play tricks in this regard and engage in something tricky.

Of course, Zhu Ciyan didn't know if he could do it, he could only look at his mother, Zhang Yan also knew a little about this matter, and he didn't have any trouble, and now Yue Su proposed to continue to carry it out, Zhang Yan nodded and said: "Since the implementation in Zhejiang is good, let's continue to carry it out." It's just that the scale is better. ”…,

"I understand that." Yue Su replied.

"That's good, on the above two things, the Qing family will draft a vote in the cabinet, and come up with a charter for Your Majesty to see."

"Wechen obeys."

"I wonder if there is anything else going on in the Qing family?" Zhang Yan said again.

"Nothing else." Yue Su said.

"The Qing family came back from Rizhao, the boat was tired, and I didn't have a good rest, so let's go back and rest now."

"Wechen retired."

Leaving the imperial study, out of the Forbidden City, Yue Su got into the sedan chair, at this moment the subordinates had already bought the four-color gifts, and Yue Su ordered to go to Wang Xuezheng's house.

In these years, the job of a teacher is not a high-income industry, and if you want to be a teacher, you must first cultivate teacher ethics. Because Wang Xuezheng is a teacher for the children of famous families, his income is more than that of ordinary teachers, and his house in Beijing is not bad.

When he came to the door of the palace, Yin Zhu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a voice came from inside the door, "May I ask who it is?" ”

This is the voice of a young man, and his attitude is very polite, and it seems that the Wang family is worthy of being a scholarly family.

"It's Lord Yue here." Yin Zhu said.

"Ah...... It's Lord Yue here...... I'll open the door......" The young man hurriedly opened the door, now Yue Su has gotten off the sedan chair, just facing the saint, Yue Su is wearing an official uniform, and he hasn't changed it at the moment, how does the young man know the robe of this high-ranking officer, and hurriedly bowed down to salute, "Student Wang Zuonian see Lord Yue." ”

"No courtesy, I don't know if Mr. Wang is at home, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Wang?" Yue Su said gently.

"My father is at home, and the student is at home, and now he is a talent showman." Wang Zuonian replied truthfully.

"The day before yesterday, the dog humiliated Mr. Wang, and the official came to apologize to Mr. Wang today, I don't know if I can bring the official in to meet Mr. Wang." Yue Su said politely.

"Your Excellency, please come in." Wang Zuonian said, get out of the way, and ask Yue Su to enter the door.

Yue Su walked into the palace, and Wang Zuonian led the way and took Yue Su to the main room in the backyard. "My father is in the room, and the students go in to pass through."

"Okay." Yue Su nodded.

Wang Zuonian knocked on the door and entered, and after a moment's effort, he helped Wang Xuezheng out. Mr. Wang's forehead was bandaged with a white cloth, and he looked in good spirits, but it was estimated that he was sick with shortness of breath.

Wang Xuezheng came out and was just about to give Yue Su a salute, Yue Su took the first step, bowed down and said: "The little dog humiliated Mr. Wang, Su really didn't want to go, and made a special trip to apologize today, and invited Mr. Wang Haihan." ”

What kind of identity is Yue Su, when he is a member of the dynasty, he can bow down and give a salute, and there is only the emperor left in the world, even if it is a prince and noble, Yue Su is polite at most. Today, he bowed down to give a big gift, and it can also be seen that he respects his teacher, Wang Xuezheng couldn't help but be moved, and he was sincerely afraid, and said: "How can the old decay be virtuous, dare to accept the great gift of the adult, isn't this a torture to kill the old decay." Lord Yue, please don't do this. ”

"That little brute insulted the division commander, fled from home at this moment, Su has sent someone to arrest him, and when he brings the person back to Beijing, he must let him personally come to the door to take the blame. As a father, he was not strict with his son, so that he did something insulting to Sven, and he should come to the door today to apologize. After Yue Su finished speaking, he saluted again.

It's not easy to be a father, if a son makes a mistake, he has to make amends to his father. This is not an era when money is supreme and everything looks at money, respecting teachers and scholars, and there is no ambiguity at all. Otherwise, saliva alone can drown people. Don't look at Yue Su's official size, there is no shortage of people who dare to participate in him and scold him, this is the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention Yue Su, didn't Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng, who were in power in the past, also be scolded and participated. This is called the integrity of the literati, who do not speak for those in power, and dare to resist.

For such things, Yue Su has never been disgusted, he is not afraid of being scolded, if he has it, he must change it. Moreover, Yue Su was also very much in favor of this system, believing that it was a kind of discipline and worthy of people's respect. Although some people scolded themselves for ulterior motives, it also shows that the literati of this era have backbone. It is much better than some literati who only know how to sing praises and praise those in power every day. …,

Seeing Yue Su's sincere apology, Wang Xuezheng was even more moved, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Yue Su, and said earnestly: "Everyone in the world says that Lord Yue is upright and selfless, and today the old man is sincerely convinced." can get a gift from Lord Yue, there are no regrets in this life, Lord Yue, hurry up and sit in the house, make a New Year, and quickly order tea. ”

Yue Su and Wang Xuezheng entered the house and sat down, and had to comfort the old man again, after a conversation, Yue Su got up and said goodbye, leaving silver dollars and four-color gifts, Wang Xuezheng didn't want to accept it, but Yue Su had to give it, and Mr. Wang had to accept it.

Returning to his home, Yue Su rested for the night and went to the cabinet office the next day.

Today I want to talk about two things that I asked the emperor to do yesterday. In the spring, the army marched to Liaodong, and the prefectural election system continued throughout the country.

Naturally, no one objected to the matter of sending troops to Liaodong, and at the end of the year, it was not suitable to enter the army, and the ministers unanimously agreed. The results of the votes were all passed.

As for continuing to carry out the county-order election system nationwide, Zhang Zhenggang and Qi Shijiao both put forward their own views, and they both believed that there was no problem in continuing to carry out the system, but it was just covering the whole country all at once, which was not appropriate, and should be done step by step and little by little.

Yue Su also felt reasonable, and proposed to select two provinces to implement them first. Everyone expressed their opinions, and finally decided on two places, one in Jiangxi and the other in Henan.

Jiangxi is relatively wealthy, and Henan has been baptized by war, and it is during the reconstruction period, and it is implemented in these two diametrically opposed places, and it can also be seen how the county order election system can be carried out.

The location was agreed, and the big guys began to vote, and it was unanimously approved. The two chapters were submitted to the celebrant and forwarded to the Queen Mother, who approved it, stamped with a jade seal, and officially implemented.

Besides, Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, and Tong Xuan, with fifty guards, were fast horses to the south to chase Mu Tianjiao.

Mu Tianjiao's identity, in addition to being Mrs. Yue's wife, is also the county lord, no matter where she goes, she has a guard of honor and shows her limelight.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to find it, track along the road, inquire more, and finally catch up with Mu Tianjiao's honor guard in Xingtai.

The three of them acted according to Yue Su's strategy, Tie Qi and Tong Xuan led people to hide, and Jin Chan led four guards forward.

Chasing to the end of the dependence, Jin Chan shouted loudly: "Is the county lord's honor guard in front?" ”

Jin Chan is Yue Su's favorite general, Mu Tianjiao's guards naturally recognize it, and one of the guards hurriedly responded: "General Jin, the county lord is in front." ”

Jin Cicada nodded, thanked him, urged the horse forward, and soon saw the gorgeous carriage that Mu Tianjiao was riding. He pretended to be anxious and shouted, "Can the county lord be in the car?" ”

Mu Tianjiao was in the car, looked over, and saw that it was a golden cicada, first her heart tightened, and then said: "It's a golden cicada, you and the adults have returned to Beijing." ”

"Alas......" Jin Chan sighed and said with a bitter face: "Madam, don't mention it, when the adults got off the boat, Tong Xuan had already gone to the dock to wait and tell Madame about leaving Beijing. After hearing this, the adults were very angry in their hearts, and took me and Tie Qiu and a few people to fly back to Beijing first, not wanting to enter the Beijing Division, but they heard that the adults were spreading the word that the adults had no way to teach their children, and the words were very ugly. The adult's heart was in a hurry, and he was so angry that he spurted blood from his mouth, and passed out......"

"Ah......" Hearing this, Mu Tianjiao's surprise was really not small, and she became worried in her heart, and asked eagerly: "Husband, husband, how is it now?" ”

"I'm waiting for the imperial doctor to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment, saying that the adults are overworked, and then hurry up to attack the heart, this disease can be big or small, once you act angrily, it is likely to be in danger of life. Later, the adult woke up, anxious to see the lady and the son, I waited for a good life to persuade is useless, this kung fu, the family of Mr. Wang, when the adult learned that the adult returned to Beijing, he actually went to the house to cry, and the adult heard about it, vomited blood again and fainted. The eldest lady was worried that something was going on with the adult, so she ordered the villain to chase after her quickly, and asked the second lady to take her son back to the house quickly. "Should I say it or not, Jin Cicada also has a bit of talent for acting, and in the end, he actually cried bitterly.

Seeing Jin Cicada like this, how could Mu Tianjiao guess that there was fraud in it, and she was even more worried about Yue Su, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and turn around and return to Beijing." ”

However, as soon as Yue Sen, who was sitting in the carriage, heard that he was going back to Beijing, he immediately cried loudly: "Mother, I don't want to go back!" I want to go home! ”
