"When you sing about wine, life is geometric; For example, morning dew, it is hard to go to the ......" Xue Chongxun suddenly sighed as he faced the few girls who had just been sent into the tent.

Buying and selling is not benevolent, although the distribution of interests tonight has not been negotiated, but Liu An and other officials and Xue Chongxun are in the same camp in the end, and the mutual alliance relationship still exists. So since these girls came over, Lu Tingshi sent them in again.

In this situation, it should have been a beautiful time, Xue Chongxun suddenly sang Cao Mengde's poem, which was very unpleasant, Liu An, Lu Tingshi and others looked at him puzzled, and they didn't know where their sigh came from.

Xue Chongxun glanced at them and said with a smile: "People are not romantic, and I can do whatever I want to be beautiful...... But purely for the sake of lewd pleasure, the price is too great. For me, if I touch these women tonight, and when the impeachment of the court is initiated, will I not be stained......" He looked at the girls again, and many of the clothes they were wearing were obviously sewn by the common people themselves, and he continued, "Isn't it a pity for them to be delayed because they are innocent, just young and beautiful?" ”

The first half of the sentence made Lu Jianshi feel very bad, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he had to pat his horse insincerely: "The heart of the Duke of Wei Guogong who loves the people is really a model for us." ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Life is short, and the place of love is worth paying the most valuable things, but it is not such forcible grabbing. Lu Tingshi, you send them back, and go back to their own homes. ”

A young girl knelt on the ground and said gratefully: "Xue Minggong is really a good official, we will definitely remember your kindness." ”

Xue Chongxun waved his hand to let them go down, and then walked out of the tent with Liu An, looking up to see that it was really a starry summer night, and the stars were shining. Xue Chongxun asked Liu An: "Which star is the brightest in the sky?" ”

Liu An looked up for a while and said in a deep voice, "Beidou? Xue Chongxun looked around and said, "Why didn't you see the moon?" ”

Liu An was stunned, can the moon be considered a star?

At this moment, Xue Chongxun looked up at the sky to the north, and his eyes flashed with a star-like brilliance: "I would like to incarnate as Beidou, burn a short life to illuminate the entire earth, and get the gaze of that person looking up......" He clasped his hands in front of his chest, and couldn't help but touch the golden hairpin inside his clothes. He tied a rope to the golden hairpin, and wore it under his chest as a necklace.

……

Outside the camp, Lu Jianshi asked a general, "Did you catch it?" The man clenched his fists and said: "Please forgive the last general for being incompetent, there are roads in all directions, I don't know where the little lady went, the last general has already notified all the passes in Ruzhou in the name of the envoy, and keep an eye on the bandits at any time." ”

At this moment, seeing Liu An coming over, Lu Tingshi greeted him and said with a depressed expression: "Liu Yuanjun, the bandit has escaped...... This made her take the account books away from under our noses! Wei Guogong is really unrighteous, does he still treat us as his own people? ”

Liu An glanced at him: "Even if there is no account book, life will not be easy, the people on the prince's side have already found out the interests of the canal, otherwise how would they know that you have an account book?" ”

Lu Tingshi was so anxious that he paced back and forth, and said very unsteadily: "I just listened to Wei Guogong's tone, he wanted to stay out of the matter...... You're not going to scapegoat, are you? ”

Liu An closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and did not answer Lu Tingshi's words, but said: "I'm a little strange, why does Wei Guogong have to be seventy percent?" Could it be that he deliberately embarrassed us and made up his mind to stay out of the matter a long time ago? But he couldn't do that! He is the person above, as long as the peace does not collapse, what can he do? If Taiping is really planted by then, can he stay out of it? ”

"Liu Yuanjun, you give me a clear word, what should we do now? Can we just sit back and wait for the impeachment of the Imperial Observatory? ”

Liu An looked up at the Big Dipper and muttered, "It depends on how to deal with the river trough...... I don't think the old ministers in the temple will admit that the people on our side are doing nonsense? ”

…… I don't know how the account books of Ruzhou were passed in the middle, and they came into the hands of Zhang Jishi, who supervised the imperial history, and Zhang Jishi was the person who was in the middle of the court and the Chinese scholars in the next chapter and Zhang Shuo's family. As a family in Shandong (east of Cuihan), the Zhang family is not prominent, but in the Wu Zetian Dynasty, Wu Zetian was virtuous and square, and Zhang said that the countermeasures were the first in the world, so he approached the center of power, and the lintel of the Zhang family has also improved.

Zhang Jishi visited Yao Chong, who lived in Luoyang, in broad daylight, and handed over the account book for Yao Chong to see. Yao Chong only glanced at it, and his heart immediately looked like a mirror, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Jishi, this person was only in his thirties, with a long and upright face, flat cheeks, and a high nose bridge, looking like a decisive and upright person.

Yao Chong put the account book on the case and said: "I'm just Luoyang Mansion Yin now, and the history of Ruzhou Thorn is not under my control, and if I let me dispose of this thing, I will be suspected of taking a mouse, and there are obvious traces of forming a party...... The last time Yao spoke for the prince in the court, he was just out of public intentions, and he was in the position of the prime minister to seek his position, and he never had the intention of tying the prince to monopolize it, and I hope you don't misunderstand. I will definitely do what I should do, and I don't want to ask about what I shouldn't do. ”

Zhang Jishi hugged his fists and said: "How could Yao Xianggong come to Luoyang?" If you say you don't form a party, others don't see it that way. Besides, this kind of favoritism, but all of us who eat the king and the king should stand up and speak! Zhang is the imperial history, and this matter should be managed both in public and private, but if Yao Xianggong can say something fair, it is more likely to achieve results...... Your name in the government and the opposition and your articles are enough to attract the attention of the world. ”

Yao Chong said lightly: "Since Yao knows about the affairs of Ruzhou, it is okay to write a chapter from the fairness of the people, but Zhang Yushi should take this account book back and dispose of it himself." ”

Zhang Jishi's face was happy, and he said: "As long as you can always stand up and say a word, it is enough, I will take the things back to the court and let the Yushitai come forward." ”

Yao Chongping nodded peacefully: "Even if you don't come today, I am ready to impeach him for the history of Ruzhou assassination, in order to tie up with the officials, he actually instigated local bullies to rob the people's daughters, where is the national law?" Where is the fairness? ”

Zhang Jishi looked at Yao Chong happily and said: "Okay, let's wait for Yao Xianggong to go up and expose the evil things along the canal, and then we will come up with real evidence, so that everyone in the world can see what the Taiping Party is!" ”

After receiving Yao Chong's promise to write to the emperor, Zhang Jishi said that he was about to leave, when Yao Chong suddenly stopped him and said, "Does the prince know about this?" ”

Zhang Jishi said: "I just found out the bad deeds of Liu An and others, and I haven't had time to report to the prince." ”

Yao Chong pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Xianggong (Zhang Shuo) should also know about this matter, so the old man will say a few more words...... At the beginning, he gave the oblique seal to the official in Chang'an Taiping, and he was blatantly selling the official at a clear price, and this kind of thing has been suppressed, if you want to use the canal to fight the Taiping, I'm afraid it's useless. It is enough to create momentum, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. ”

Zhang Jishi said with a smile: "Yao Lao and his brother and hero see the same thing, and justice is in the hearts of the people!" There are the concerts of Yao Lao and Zhang Jiuling, and there is evidence in the hands of the imperial history, are you afraid that they will not be able to deny it? ”

After hearing this, Yao Chong sent Zhang Jishi out with confidence.

Zhang Jishi immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Jiuling in Chang'an, and then went west with the evidence. It turned out that Zhang Jiuling sent grain all the way along the canal from Lingnan, and he had already made a clear investigation of the actual situation of river transportation, and then wrote an article based on this, which would definitely attract the attention of the court and the family; There are also Yao Chong and other well-known celebrities and literati who have written books and recitals, and public opinion can be imagined.

Zhang Jishi and other imperial historians have already made up their minds, and as soon as public opinion comes up, they will strike while the iron is hot and present all kinds of real evidence, which will definitely be effective. Even if you can't catch the big fish, you can pull a few fish and shrimp off the horse, and the most important role is to further demonize the Taiping party. The so-called traitorous ministers are in charge, and Kuang Fu justice is even more justified.

…… For these things, although Liu An of Luoyang could not know their specific arrangements, he could guess that something was not good. obviously noticed something, but Liu An couldn't come up with a way to deal with it. Whether it is Yao Chong and Song Jing, or Zhang Shuo, who is still in the position of prime minister, although they are inclined to the crown prince, they have always shown that they do not participate in palace battles, and everything is based on public intentions. In this way, what can Liu An do?

He was playing "Xiang Xi", a twelve-character ancient chess, with his staff, but he was absent-minded and a little distracted. The staff reminded: "It's time for Liu to make Jun." ”

Liu An looked at the chessboard and said depressedly: "I didn't pay attention just now, why did you play such a game?" ”

The staff smirked: "Make you lose a piece." ”

Liu An looked at the chessboard and groaned: "You can't move my 'owl', Lu, pheasant, and calf are a little dangerous...... But of course I should lose my pawn and protect the car, and it is wiser to give up the 'plug'. ”

The staff smiled and nodded, "What the envoy said is extremely true. ”

At this moment, an old slave walked to the door, bowed down and said, "Ah Lang, Ruzhou Lu Tingshi sent two large boxes over, and they are at the back door, do you want to let them carry them into the mansion?" ”

Liu An looked at the door, and after a while, he looked back at the staff and muttered, "I'm afraid these two boxes are 'stuffed'?" ”

The staff and Liu An looked at each other, and then he looked down at the chessboard, pointed to the chess game on the table and said: "So that you can see clearly, if you lose the stopper, the other three words are also very dangerous." ”

"Oh? Is that so? Liu An hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the chess game.

The old servant reminded again: "Ah Lang, it's not good for others to see such a large box at the door." ”

Liu An turned around and said, "Go and pass the word and let them get it back...... In this way, I say that I don't need those things, and I will do my best to do what I need to do. ”

When the servant heard this, he saluted and turned and went out. Liu An couldn't help but raise his head in the room and sighed: "But I don't know how His Highness will deal with it?" ”
