More and more people are persuaded to enter, and it has spread from Jingshi to the localities. After several prime ministers made their statements, the situation was out of control.

In fact, the power influence of a few people in the political hall is very large, and from the appointment and dismissal process of officials, it is decided that a large number of subordinate officials have to follow them. Under normal circumstances, the appointment of officials is to "recommend" those who are qualified to be officials through the prime minister, and the same is true for the evaluation, which is proposed by the central minister. Although the power to affirm or veto is in the hands of the royal family, under normal circumstances, the palace will not reject the prime minister's proposal, unless the article is really unreasonable. In this way, officials from Beijing to local officials will feel that their future is in the hands of these people, at least the impact is very direct, and people's pursuit of benefits and avoiding disadvantages is like water downward, and it is obvious what everyone will do.

There were too many articles in the Jin Palace, and the prince couldn't respond to them one by one, so an article signed by Xue Chongxun was publicly circulated, in which he sincerely explained the reasons why he had no intention of ascending the throne, and some high-sounding words were naturally not chewy, but there was a highlight that attracted the attention of scholars. Xue Chongxun openly admitted that Li Tang Tianzi was not too much at fault, and should still be the lord of the world. This was very comforting to those of the Li family clan and their supporters, and even the pessimists realized that even if Xue Chongxun wanted to usurp the throne, he would not be unkind to the forces of the previous dynasty, unless he did not keep his word and later ignored the tone laid in the early stage.

However, there are still differences in this matter in the pro-kingdom, the article was drafted by Wang Changling, and Su Jin was very opposed from the beginning, thinking that openly admitting that Li Tang was innocent was a big mistake, and if he wanted to be justified, he had to find out the unrighteous statement for Li Tang.

Later, Wang Changling refuted in a positive voice: "Reversing black and white will cause the upward and downward effects to be full of ghosts, how can the world be in chaos, does Su Shilang want to become a sinner scolded by future generations?" ”

Su Jin was very angry when he heard this, but Wang Changling took it to the table and said sonorous and powerful, but Su Jin's set of ideas couldn't be said clearly, so he had to endure it and retreat to the upper hand in this debate.

He returned home in an unhappy mood, but was depressed by the private affairs of the family. As soon as he entered the house, he heard the slave maid report that there was a guest at home, it was none other than his wife's cousin Chen Ying, but this person was someone Su Jin didn't like very much.

It turned out that before Su Jin's wife Lin got married, his cousin Chen family intended to continue to marry "relatives and relatives", at this time, there was no saying that three generations of collateral blood marriages were prone to genetic diseases, this kind of thing was very normal. However, Su Jin, who later studied in the academy given birth to the Lin family, became a jinshi, and was appreciated by the courtiers, and the future was bright with the poetry and literature of several important ministers, and he was a young man with good manners, so Lin Jiaweng decisively promised his daughter to Su Jin.

With this section, it is obvious that the people of the Chen family do not have a good impression of Su Jin, especially Chen Ying Seeing Mei Fubai's cousin become a woman from someone else's family, it is conceivable that his attitude towards Su Jin can be imagined. It's just that everyone is a relative, and there is a red and white thing in the family that always has to meet, and Su Jin mixed well at that time, and these inner contradictions were not exposed.

Time has passed, life has been ups and downs, people can't guarantee that Dingken will be smooth sailing, the political situation after Wu Zetian has been turbulent for many years, the people in the temple have changed several times, and countless people have been brought down, and Su Jin was also unlucky and almost lost his life. After a catastrophe, his leg was broken and crippled, and he was old, and his spirit was completely different from that of the high-spirited young man of the past. After that, there was a lot of dirt between Chen Ying and Su Jin, and all kinds of disgusting people in the open and in the dark...... Su Jin remembered that once Chen Ying humiliated him in public, sending people to eat and drink under the fence and something like that. It is precisely because of those things that Su Jin has reached the point of being a little scribe in the capital, otherwise people like him will always have rich relatives and friends, as long as the wind of power struggle passes, they will never live so poorly.

But these are all in the past, and now Su Jin is another way of living, life is not long or short, he has regained his dignity, but once there is a crack in the relationship, it is difficult to repair. Just like Chen Ying, although Su Jin later made peace with their family at the party, he still couldn't make up for the dirty shadow of the past.

Suddenly hearing that Chen Ying had come to the house, Su Jin subconsciously frowned and said, "He? What did he come to do? ”

Unexpectedly, a person happened to come out of the door of the living room, and said with a very reluctant smile: "What, Brother Su wants to give an eviction order?" ”

I saw that the man at the door of the living room was dressed in a satin robe, and there was a pair of fine-colored fur collars around the collar, tall and handsome, about thirty and nearly forty, but his skin and hair were well maintained, and he was obviously a person with a solid family background who did not have to endure hardships.

Su Jin didn't expect his words to be heard by him, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his expression, but then he said indifferently that he liked what he wanted. Because of the face of his wife Lin, Su Jin couldn't do too much, so he raised his hand and said a little casually: "Where is it, cousin, please sit inside, have the little ones made tea?" His back looked a little hunched when he made the arching motion, and he was only in his forties, and his temples were already a little gray, so he dragged his legs and limped up the steps.

At this time, the Lin family also walked out of the living room, and when he saw Su Jin, he said happily: "Husband, it's worth getting down early today." ”

"You're here too?" Su Jin was a little unhappy.

"The cousin of the Chen family has just arrived for a while, and you are in the yamen again, so I should naturally meet you, otherwise the people in the family will not say that our Su family does not know the etiquette?" Lin said.

Su Jin is busy with official business on weekdays, and at this moment he suddenly found that his wife was becoming more and more beautiful after eating brocade clothes and jade, he touched his sideburns and said in his heart I am not much older than her, but at this time, Chen Yingyi looks a little older than me.

Chen Ying smiled: "Look at what Brother Su means, my cousin can't even see us after marrying into the Su family?" The two of us played together when we were young. ”

Su Jin was in a bad mood in the pro-kingdom today, and his speech was inevitably a little stiff at this time. After a while, he suppressed the sullenness in his heart, said a few polite words to Chen Ying, and invited him to the living room to drink tea and chat for a while. Probably didn't say anything important, Chen Ying went to Beijing and Shishi to purchase goods for his family, so he came to see his cousin by the way, and that's it. Maybe there was something else that Chen Ying didn't say in front of Su Jin.

Then the Lin family left Chen Ying for dinner out of politeness, and Chen Ying said in a joking tone: "I haven't tasted my cousin's craft for a long time, I really want to have a full mouth, but Brother Su doesn't seem to welcome it very much, so it's better for me to go back to the inn earlier." ”

Su Jin said: "You are really joking, how can I be so stingy, let's drink two cups in a while, and there are no outsiders at home." ”

Chen Ying said with a straight face: "I got my kindness, I just made a joke." I really can't stay to eat, the others are still waiting for me, and I'm afraid they will worry if I come out for too long. ”

Su Jin didn't stay long after hearing this, and called a house slave to send him out of the door.

After the person left, Su Jin complained in front of the Lin family with some jealousy: "This person is also thick-skinned, knowing that I have to go out every day to be on duty, so I have to pick when I am not there." ”

Lin Shi was not angry, he immediately heard Su Jin's thoughts, and said kindly: "After so long, you still have the same knowledge as him, so you don't have to go back and say something in front of the elders......" She said and the smile on her face disappeared, "Although you have reinstated your official status, my father has always thought that you are just a staff member of the powerful family, and I am worried about what troubles and waves I will encounter again." It's not rumored that King Jin is going to usurp the throne for a while......"

"What is a usurpation?" Su Jin lowered his face and said, "Since ancient times, there has been a change of dynasties, otherwise where would the Tang Dynasty come from?" The Li family has been irretrievably declining for many years, and there are no Xue family and other surnames peeping. ”

After hearing this, Lin Shi said: "Then Chen Ying said that it was true that you made plans for King Jin to seize the throne?" ”

"What does he know?" Su Jin said busily.

Lin said: "It is rumored that when the husband was in the army, he instigated the soldiers to support the king of Jin, and there was a dragon robe. The King of Jin and the Li family have been married for several generations, and they can't bear to take the throne, but they are instigated by the utilitarian ministers to do this, and a few days ago they also wrote an article to defend the Li family......"

"Chen Ying said that?" Su Jin said angrily, "He just needs to run his own one-third of an acre of land, what kind of state affairs does a person who doesn't know anything do?" If the prince is really dedicated to defending Li Tang's words, the military general who gave him a dragon robe on the grassland can be charged with ten charges casually! And now that there are more and more people persuading to enter, how difficult will it really be to stop it? The general trend is the trend of the times, and people who can't see such obvious current affairs, let's see. ”

Lin said worriedly: "Husband, you have to be cautious, the Su family and the Lin family are both scholarly families, and they have always valued reputation. The person who is respected by the people is nothing more than a loyal minister and a filial son, and everyone hopes that the husband is not only a filial son, but also a loyal minister. ”

"It turns out that in your heart, Su is actually a chaotic minister and thief?" Su Jin said a word angrily, got up and was about to leave. Lin hurriedly grabbed him: "How could I have said this, where is the husband going?" ”

Su Jin said without looking back: "Today's loyal ministers, who is not a courtier of the Sui Dynasty?" In a few years, loyal ministers are ministers of the Jin Dynasty, who will say that they have eaten the millet of the Tang Dynasty? ”

He strode out of the room, stamping a few steps around the courtyard but not knowing where to go. Originally, there were many places for the bureaucratic class to have fun at night, but Su Jin has always had a better relationship than his wife, and he didn't even have a concubine, and he usually went home after doing business or having necessary interactions with colleagues, so he didn't have any habits of running around. Only then did he realize that the sun had gone down and the moon had risen on a clear day, and he looked up at the moon and sighed.

This moon in the sky, I don't know how many people have sighed, but it has not changed at all. Su Jin is indeed a little uncomfortable today, the Lin family as his most important person has been affected a little, he stomped a few steps alone, and after a while, he figured it out: Buddha fights for a breath of incense, and he can't raise his eyebrows in front of everyone, everything is in vain, and when he was as depressed as in the past, everyone would only say that the waste of the Su family married a good wife, that's all.
