Shoufu Zhang Jiangling has not been in good health recently, mainly because he is suffering from hidden diseases and is inconvenient to walk, so he does not go out lightly except for entering the palace to meet the Son of Heaven. Whenever there is an important matter, the ministers and ministers go to Zhang's mansion to pay homage to him and ask him for instructions.

A mere classic history, in front of Zhang Jiangling, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, was originally like an ant walking at the feet of an elephant, no matter how he jumped and shouted, he didn't want this elephant to see his small figure and hear his faint voice, but now he was wrong, and he was noticed by Zhang Jiangling.

Zhang Shoufu's mansion is in the area of Xuanwu Gate, and in the study, there is a guest sitting in the guest seat, slowly sipping fragrant tea. Zhang Shoufu was reviewing the batch of official documents that had just been sent after the case, and the study was quiet, except for the occasional sound of the paper when turning the official documents.

This guest is the great Confucian Cui Xiangsheng who once went to Guiyang to give lectures, Zhang Jiangling has always been in the habit that even if there are close friends and relatives visiting, if there is still official business at hand, the official business must be handled first, unless it is necessary to think and communicate, and it cannot be disposed of on the same day, otherwise it will never be backlogged in his hands, even if he is seriously ill, he is also sick to deal with official business.

Cui Xiangsheng knew that this was Zhang Jiangling's habit, and it was the same for anyone, and he didn't mean to neglect him, and it was a great courtesy for him to be invited into the study, so he was not annoyed at all, but waited patiently.

Speaking of Cui Xiangsheng's friendship with Zhang Jiangling, it is that they don't know each other if they don't fight. When the emperor heard of Cui Xiangsheng's virtuous name, he wanted him to enter the court as an official, but Zhang Jiangling vetoed him, thinking that this person was a corrupt Confucian, not the material for being an official, so he cut off Cui Xiangsheng's career.

Cui Xiangsheng was originally a very utilitarian person, Zhang Jiangling cut off his future, how could he not hate it in his heart, he really hated Zhang Jiangling to the bone, but this head of the dynasty was overpowered, and even the emperor trembled and feared like a father in front of him. Cui Xiangsheng couldn't help him.

is based on the almost humiliating evaluation of Zhang Jiangling, Cui Xiangsheng was not annoyed, but admitted it calmly, and said to others: "Cui has always had no intention of being an official, just because Cui is self-aware." Although a certain knowledge is extensive, he is not good at applying it to the world, and he should only be poor and study knowledge. ”

Cui Xiangsheng played very beautifully with this self-blackening, and suddenly turned passive into active, Zhang Jiangling's evaluation not only did not become a stain on him, but showed his open-mindedness and positioned him as a well-educated Confucian. It further increased his prestige in Shilin.

After Zhang Jiangling heard about this, he also greatly appreciated his mind and strength. Zhang Jiangling's evaluation of him that day did not have any personal prejudices, but he felt that although he was famous and knowledgeable, he was not of much use in terms of the use of the world's classics, and was only suitable for drilling old papers, studying the scriptures, reading papers, and studying the basis of knowledge.

Zhang Jiangling didn't think of this great Confucian because of his evaluation. Already hated him to the bone. In fact, there are not many people like Cui Xiangsheng in the government and the opposition, but no matter how much they hate in their hearts, they can only show their incomparable admiration and respect for Zhang Jiangling. Unless this behemoth collapses, the hatred they have endured for so long will never dare to expose the slightest.

"Ridiculous! A small canonical history, actually carried away, arrogant. Use all sorts of things that go beyond the norm! ”

Zhang Jiangling couldn't help frowning when he saw the official document about Ye Xiaotian. Cui Xiangsheng was reminded by someone in advance and deliberately came to Ye Xiaotian. In order to avenge the revenge of one arrow at the banquet in Guiyang Qiyun that day, as soon as he heard this, he immediately put down the teacup and asked with a smile: "Mr. Taiyue is in charge of the center, and he has all the opportunities, do you even have to ask about the affairs of the official in the history of the first canon?" ”

Zhang Jiangling said: "This person is a little special in this matter, so he sent it to Zhang's case." ”

Zhang Jiangling said a few words to Cui Xiangxian about Ye Xiaotian, then lowered his head to look at the official document again, and put pen to paper to think about the disposal of opinions, Cui Xiangsheng suddenly realized, and said softly: "Ye Xiaotian, it turned out to be him, then it's no wonder." ”

When Zhang Jiangling heard this, he raised his head in surprise and said, "Why, Xiangsheng actually knows this person?" ”

Cui Xiangsheng said calmly: "Yes, when Cui traveled to Guiyang, he happened to have seen this person. This person doesn't learn and has no skills, he is a ruffian, just because of his clever words, he flattered the prefect of Tongren Tu, and was promoted by him to be a showman, and he became a scholar, which is really a shame of Shilin! After ......"

Cui Xiang first said what he had seen and heard and some of Ye Xiaotian's actions in Huxian County that someone had a heart revealed to him this time, as colluding with the locality, crowding out the officials, and building a mansion, adding fuel and vinegar to the story, Zhang Jiangling was furious, and said: "There is such a thing, such a person, Mu Monkey and crown, it is impossible to treat the official mansion as a juggling hall!" ”

Cui Xiangsheng said in a very helpless tone: "Mr. Taiyue has worked hard and has been in charge for many years. It's just that there are still some remote places, the roads are difficult to travel, the news is blocked, and the indigenous people only know Tusi in their eyes, but they don't know the imperial court, so they will give birth to freaks like Ye Xiaotian. ”

Zhang Jiangling said with a calm face: "It is separated by thousands of mountains, which is not only the land of my Ming Dynasty, but also the Taoism of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

He thought about it, then put pen to paper and wrote down the instructions, Cui Xiangsheng finished giving Ye Xiaotian eye medicine, so he picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea as if nothing happened, the corners of his eyes were slightly twinked, and when he saw Zhang Jiangling making instructions with a calm face, he couldn't help but have a slight look of pride in his eyes.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When God sneezes, the world is a downpour.

Zhang Jiangling, who is more like the emperor than the emperor, gave a handwritten instruction, how should the local officials react?

A fast horse, flying also galloped into the Huxian post station, just rushed into the post station, the horse fell to the ground with a bang, the person on the horseback embroidered a big "post" word on the chest, behind the three small triangular red flags, this is eight hundred miles of fast horse, no one along the way for any reason to stop, that is, the horse when the street kicks people to death without sentencing.

The war horse fell suddenly, and the post man on the horse rolled on the spot, very dexterously avoiding the side pressure of the war horse, but he struggled a few times, but his legs were weak and he was unable to stand up.

As soon as the post guards in the post station saw him rushing in on a fast horse, they were already surprised, of course they recognized this as an eight-hundred-mile military post, and this post station had never seen such the most urgent military post express, and immediately grabbed a few people to help the post man up.

The postman shouted in a hoarse voice, "Change ...... Change horses ......"

The Huxian post man who was supporting him said sympathetically: "Brother, the horse can be changed, but I can't bear to see you like this." Then do you go south or west? I'm afraid that if you hold on any longer, the horse will die of exhaustion before the horse dies of exhaustion. ”

Generally speaking, the military post can also change people by changing horses, and relay the message to the next station, but to this kind of 100,000 urgent military posts, that is, people do not leave the letter, the letter does not leave the people, and it is impossible to hand it over to the local post station at will.

The man made a difficult swallowing motion, but his lips were chapped. There was no saliva to swallow at all, and a post man next to him handed him a water bladder, but he didn't answer it, but said with difficulty: "It's ...... When I arrived, I changed horses, and I ...... I want to go to the county government ......."

Huxian County Ya, Huazhi County was trying a civil case, and suddenly a "report uncle" came out from behind the screen and whispered a few words to him. Hua Zhixian was shocked, and immediately announced that the retrial would be postponed, and after speaking, he hurriedly withdrew from the court without waiting for everyone to retreat.

Inside the second hall, the post man was half-lying on a chair crookedly. was holding a pot of herbal tea and drinking wildly, Hua Qingfeng hurried in, and the post guard immediately struggled to stand up when he saw his official robe with a seven-grade positive seal. took off the burden that had never left him, took out a water-painted sealed letterhead from inside, and presented it to Hua Qingfeng with both hands.

Hua Qingfeng hurriedly took the letterbox. Said: "Don't be polite, you sit!" After hurriedly going around to the back of the case, he checked that the seal of the secret fire paint was correct, and then used a paper cutter to cut open the seal and took out an official letter from inside. Hua Qingfeng unfolded this official letter and looked at it hurriedly, and her face changed several times.

Before opening this official letter, Hua Qingfeng was really a little frightened, such a rush to spread quickly, in his mind, it could only be a riot in a nearby state and county, and the imperial court wanted to send a large army to suppress it, for a while I don't know if it will affect the county, and I don't know what kind of messenger the imperial court paid him, and when he opened the official letter, he realized that it was Ye Xiaotian who committed the case.

No matter what case Ye Xiaotian committed, he was just a petty official who did not enter the stream, and it was too much of a fuss to use the eight-hundred-mile military post to pass it quickly, so when he saw this, Hua Qingfeng was a little unimpressed, but when he looked at it next, it was actually a severe punishment instruction made by Zhang Jiangling, the first assistant of the court, and he was suddenly shocked.

This official letter is not a post report from the imperial court, and the handwritten instructions of the first assistant are still on the way, which are all expressions of the following officials at all levels to figure out and cater to the will of the emperor, which can alarm the first assistant of the dynasty, in their opinion, either this person is extremely evil and goes straight to heaven, or he offended some relatives and friends of the first assistant, which made the first assistant angry, so ...... This unlucky worm is certain to die.

If he has some accident at this time, and even absconds in fear of sin, then who will bear the thunderous wrath of Shousuke-sama? Before the messenger sent by the imperial court on how to deal with Ye Xiaotian had arrived, the local officials figured out the intention first, and dealt with it resolutely.

This post guard was sent by the Yamen of the Nanzhili Criminal Department, and the official letter added fuel to what they had learned, and instructed Hua Qingfeng to immediately put Ye Xiaotian under control when he saw this official letter.

Originally, officials committed crimes, waiting for impeachment and execution, and before there was a result, they could not be arrested, and they could only be ordered to wait at home.

Hua Qingfeng was so frightened that her heart trembled suddenly, thinking about it, she really didn't know what Ye Xiaotian had done, and she was actually instructed by the first assistant of the current dynasty to ask about it, and the official letter of the Nanjing Criminal Department was vague about it, so there was no way to speculate.

Although he had secretly formed an alliance with Ye Xiaotian after the last banquet to fight against the aggressiveness of Xu Xiancheng and Wang Zhushu, this kind of thing was not something he could bear at all.

Hua Qingfeng held the letter in his hand, and was secretly annoyed: "It's hateful, once this person is gone, I will be alone, and then I am afraid that the story of Meng Qingwei and Wang Ning will be repeated again!" ”

Hua Qingfeng was secretly annoyed, and after all, he didn't want to take someone to catch Ye Xiaotian in person, so he said listlessly: "Come here, pass on Xu County Cheng to see you!" Let's just say that there are 100,000 urgent things in this county to order him! ”

After a while, Xu Boyi came to the second hall, first glanced strangely at the half-paralyzed on the chair, as if he was half a dead man, and then bowed his hand to Hua Qingfeng and said, "I don't know what the county lord is calling?" ”

Hua Qingfeng handed him the official letter and said, "Come and see!" ”

Xu Boyi received the letter in his hand, and after only reading three lines, he was overjoyed: "The big thing is harmonious!" This time, it is called that Ye Xiaotian is dead or alive! ”

: The body is still outside, the body is tired for a short time, but the renewal is not broken for a day, a day is not less, a good tradition, and strive to maintain it. But I have to have lunch in a while, and then pack up and go to the airport, it will take five or six hours to return to Shen from Hainan, and the update at 12 o'clock in the morning may not be guaranteed, I will create and update tomorrow morning.
