Why did Li Xin go? As Zhang Sizhi raised such a sharp question, no one in the cabinet hall was silent, because everyone understood that this voice was not easy to make, and if it was not good, it would be unwarranted responsibility.

As for the meaning of Zhang Sizhi's words, as long as he is not a fool, everyone can understand it. It is nothing more than accusing Li Xin of supporting his own troops during the Battle of Shanhaiguan and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but in the end, it was Sun Chengzong who turned the tide by himself, which made the treacherous plan not succeed.

Everyone still has doubts in their hearts, Sun Chengzong is Li Xin's Bole after all, even if he has no conscience, it will not be like this. Zhang Sizhi did this, nothing more than to announce his personal vendetta.

Zhang Sizhi didn't seem to plan to discuss it with everyone, but directly told the hall official who recorded it, "Write it down, write this article down!" Everyone looked at each other and was silent.

"Okay, the things that should be discussed are almost discussed......" Zhang Sizhi was just about to signal to go home, but Fan Fucui interjected: "I almost forgot, there is still a big thing to discuss, in case the emperor asks Ming'er, he will be temporarily blind!" ”

"Whether the case of Fu Yongchun, the imperial historian of Zuodu, participating in the impeachment of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and colluding with the city boss for corruption, is true, regardless of whether the imperial court needs silver or not, it must be thoroughly investigated and found out!"

Xue Guoguan, who had been silent, also interjected.

"The emperor has said it, is this not to be discussed later? The top priority of our cabinet is to do a good job in this section! ”

"There is no delay, the matter of salary training cannot be delayed, and the fight against corruption and the silverfish in the court cannot be postponed softly!"

Fan Fucui unceremoniously rebuked Xue Guoguan's ambiguous attitude, thinking that one should be one, and two should be two, and it would not work to drag it out. Zhang Sizhi also followed Fan Fucui and beat the side drum, "What Yupo said is extremely true, the silverfish of the country must not be let go, let it go, the pillars of the Ming Dynasty will all turn into rotten trees tomorrow!" ”

Xue Guoguan was robbed by two people, and he didn't say a word angrily, the reason why he strongly opposed it was not for Yang Sichang, Zhao Bingjun, the political envoy of Zhejiang Province who had a lot to do with the Jiangnan Silk case, was his brother-in-law, once Zhao Bingjun was found to have a problem, Yang Sichang would inevitably be implicated, and even the emperor would have a bad feeling for him, and if this was the case, there would be no power to return to heaven.

"I disagree!"

Xue Guoguan was slapped on the table by Fan Fucui and Zhang Sizhi. Fan Fucui sneered: "Don't agree? The emperor's will is here, and if you don't agree, it won't count! ”

"Who said that I don't agree to the thorough investigation of the Jiangnan Silk corruption case, what I don't agree with is the unfairness of Liu Ge Lao and Li Xin's discussion!"

This made Fan Fucui stunned, and he couldn't continue for a while, only Zhang Sizhi chattered silently.

"Tell the old man, why is it unfair? Li Xin led the troops to Liaoxi to have no size of work, and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and sat to watch the mouth of the righteous courtyard was broken, if it wasn't for his thoughts on his journey to Liaoxi, the old man would have already joined him! ”

Zhang Sizhi sneered again and again, "The old man's subordinates are merciful, and they actually say that the old man is unfair." Since this is the case, the old man will take back the work he had discussed before, and this will go to him! ”

Xue Guoguan also pointed at Zhang Sizhi's nose and scolded: "Don't think that Xue doesn't know about your shady things, Li Xin ruined your good deeds in Xuanfu, and now you have to catch the wind and catch shadows, and come out of nothing to frame the heroes." Okay, well, Xue will go to the book with you, you will participate in Li Xin, and Xue will participate in your ......"

"You, you, you ......"

Zhang Sizhi was anxious for three of you, pointing at Xue Guoguan and couldn't speak, he almost didn't come up in one breath, and almost fainted, thanks to the hall official beside him, he was quick to hold him up.

"Pavilion Elder ......, Pavilion Elder "

Li Shiwen, who was there with the old god, couldn't sit still, and came forward to check on Zhang Sizhi's situation, just now Xue Guoguan suddenly broke out and almost revealed his old bottom, after all, the old man was in the Spring and Autumn Period, in case of angry blood gushing up, it was not impossible.

"Alas! Let's say a few words, why should you be embarrassed by each other, just take a step back! ”

Li Shi asked and saw that although Zhang Sizhi's body was paralyzed, he seemed to be fine, so he wanted to be a peacemaker and persuade both sides. Who knew that Xue Guoguan bit it, "How to retreat?" framed a meritorious minister and ignored the justice of the court, if he was allowed to succeed, wouldn't it chill the hearts of hundreds of officials in the world? At that time, who will be willing to die for the court? ”

The words were righteous, and Li Shiwen pouted his gray beard and brewed for a long time and didn't know how to answer. Yes, Zhang Sizhi took the opportunity to suppress Li Xin, and everyone could see it, but Xue Guoguan picked it on the bright side, which made people confused.

Li Shi asked confused, but others were not confused, who couldn't understand, whether Xue Guoguan or Zhang Sizhi were drunkards, they didn't mean to drink, on the surface, it was for Li Xin and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to collude with the city to deal with corruption, but in fact, it meant something else.

It's just that the ministers are also inconvenient to say it, if it weren't for Zhang Sizhi forcing Xue Guoguan to be anxious, he wouldn't have torn his face.

Zhang Sizhi finally relieved himself after pouring two sips of tea, let out a long breath, and said dejectedly: "Okay, good, the old man can't compete with you, and he can't tear his face if he thinks about it, the old man in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau corruption case is not investigated, but Li Xin is not moving, but the old man has to investigate it to the end!" ”

……

In Jinzhou, Li Xin pulled Sun Ji and talked with him all morning, from Gaoyang to Shanxi and then to Jinzhou, but the experience of this year is embarrassing.

"General Li is running for state affairs, Sun Jiao sees it in his eyes, but his heart is really admired, and he is ashamed to say it, how many people who have read the books of sages and sages do not have such a mind! Da Ming, ......" Sun Ji was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "In the long run, the country will not be a country!" ”

"You warriors are actually good, you don't need to worry about those bad things in the court, just talk about money and food, the army will consume tens of thousands of food every day whether it moves or not. You just have to fight, but this Ming family is not easy to do. It is said that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now you and I are the good woman! ”

Originally, it was good, right and chatter, how did Sun Ji mention it to the government again? Besides, this is not something that a civilian official should talk to a martial artist.

"What does the second prince mean that the court has no money?"

Li Xin has always maintained the name of Sun Ji when he was in Gaoyang, and Sun Ji does not seem to object, and even readily accepts it. Perhaps in Sun Jie's view, Li Xin called him the second son, which is the expression of this person's old thoughts. Although a martial artist can't force him to pay attention to officialdom etiquette, Sun Ji values the heart more than the surface.

"Sun Ji has been in front of his mother for more than 40 years, and he has only come out to be an official now, although he is still young, he knows that the imperial court is a big quagmire at all, and he can't pull it out even if he wants to pull it out if he steps into it. In this Ming Dynasty, if you want to do something that is beneficial to the present and merit in the future, you can't uphold the sage's set of getting out of the mud without staining, it is to be with the light and dust, and it is to be in the same stream and pollution! ”

Li Xinxin said, you can see that if you want to do something in the Ming Dynasty, you have to engage in political disputes first, and kick out all the opponents so that no one will hinder them. In the past year, Li Xin has been an official in Shanxi, and he has been deeply affected by it, and he is deeply touched.

"Why is the second son so pessimistic? Didn't the Ming Dynasty also have a Hai Rui? ”

"Hai Jui? The Qing is clear, and the rigid is rigid, but it is not helpful in the current situation. ”

Li Xin didn't expect that Sun Jiao's views were closer to the world, blindly fierce and uncompromising, and in the end he might not be able to do anything, just like Hai Rui, even capable ministers such as Zhang Juzheng have not used it for ten years, so it can be seen.

"Yao Shunyu soup, the sage's set of studies said that it was okay, but it was not possible to do things in the court, which is why Sun Ji was unwilling to come out to be an official for more than 40 years."

Sun Ji was so heartfelt that Li Xin was greatly moved, maybe he really regarded himself as an ordinary martial artist, thinking that he couldn't understand. But then Li Xin rejected this idea, and even he would believe it.

"There is a big drought this summer, the grain harvest is gone, this autumn and next spring I am afraid that there will be hunger all over the land, and the imperial court will increase the salary and silver again and again, the people are miserable, and I don't know how many people will be forced to go to the thieves next year!"

If these words were said in the court, it would be a big rebellion, but Li Xin knew that what Sun Jian said was the truth, but Li Xin had already prepared for this.

"Second son, other provinces dare not guarantee that at least in Shanxi, there will be no miserable situation of hungry mayflies everywhere this autumn and next spring!"

Sun Ji was very surprised and looked at Li Xin.

"Oh? How can you be so confident? Could it be that the rain in Shanxi is abundant this year? ”

Li Xin shook his head, "No, there is a big drought in Shanxi this year, and it is almost rainless!" However, Shanxi has carried out a huge irrigation project this year, and has replanted high-yield crops such as jade wheat, although the harvest may not be as good as a bumper year, but there will be no tragic situation of green and yellow! ”

Sun Ji seemed to be taken aback, and asked Li Xin in detail how he built the irrigation project, the special temperament and yield of this jade wheat, and asked very carefully, and Li Xin answered very carefully. It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that in addition to being able to lead troops to fight, this Li Xin was actually a talent who could be used in the world.

Before the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely a talent who went out and went into the prime minister, but unfortunately this was the Ming Dynasty, even if a martial artist who was not born in the imperial examination could be named a marquis and a general, he would definitely not be able to enter the cabinet, he could not take charge of political affairs, and the imperial court categorically could not tolerate him to continue to deal with civil affairs.

All kinds of thoughts fluctuated in my heart, and I sighed again for a long time.

"Why is the second son sighing?"

"Sun Ji is only afraid that after this battle, General Li ......" Sun Ji suddenly swept away the worry on his face, and then lifted his spirits and said: "Don't talk about this, the Tartars are about to besiege the city, and it is even more inevitable, you and I must be ready to deal with this difficulty!" ”

Suddenly, a soldier came to report: "Sun Zhongcheng, Sun Zhongcheng, something happened, Hong Butang asked you to hurry over!" ”
