In the modern era of another time and space, there is a popular saying: Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.

Although in these years, the opera belonged to the lower nine class people, including farmers and even beggars, who could look at this group with contempt, but in fact, everyone played a variety of roles in life, from the king to the common people, acting every day. These people have one face when facing their families, relatives and friends, and another face when facing colleagues and enemies, and Yue Yang enjoyed and participated in an extremely wonderful drama today.

These days, the actions against the British Duke are certainly carried out by the Xuan army under the command of Yue Yang, but without Chongzhen's acquiescence, how could the Xuan army dare to do it so unscrupulously. British Gongzhang Zhiji has been extremely smart all his life, but he can't see through this matter alone, and he actually ran to the main hall to sue Yue Yang and his Xuan army, which also made Yue Yang look drunk.

In the end, when Zhang Zhiji could only withdraw gloomily, most of the officials looked at him with mockery, this guy really didn't know how to advance or retreat, and even instigated those young gentlemen to go to the gate of the palace to make trouble, do you really think that the emperor's ass is what you want to touch? Now not only has he offended the emperor, but he has also made bad friends with those gentlemen, which can be said to be fishy instead of reaping the benefits.

The vast majority of people certainly think that Zhang Zhiji is self-inflicted, but there are not no people who sigh for it, and Chen Yan, a cabinet scholar, is one of them. I have to say that the relationship between people is extremely delicate, some people can become friends just as soon as they meet, while some people hate each other when they see each other. The same goes for Yue Yang and Chen Yan.

Chen Yan is a very traditional Ming literati, in his worldview, Yue Yang is a great rebel, as a lowly military general, but with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. And it is not controlled by the imperial court, such a person should not exist in the first place, and must be suppressed or even eliminated.

That's what he thinks, and that's what he does. Whether it is openly or secretly, Chen Yan is trying every means to deal with Yue Yang, but after such a long time, not only has Yue Yang not been suppressed, but he, the initiator, is feeling more and more afraid and powerless. This opponent is so terrible, so terrible that any means he uses against him seem so pale.

"There must be a way to deal with him. No one is perfect, he must have weaknesses! Chen Yan clenched his hands and secretly felt in his heart.

Just when he was secretly cheering himself up, Chongzhen's voice came from the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just yesterday I received a report from Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou. Zhang Xianzhong, the thief, has been quelled, and the army will return to the dynasty in the near future, and I have always been unstingy in rewarding meritorious soldiers, so today I want to ask you, how to reward these two heroes? ”

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are coming back!

This news made many people in the hall very excited, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lin Yuji immediately stood up and said with excitement in his tone: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing that the army has returned triumphantly, and the minister thinks that the two adults can immediately lead the army into Beijing, and Your Majesty should lead our civil and military officials out of the city for thirty miles to welcome each other in commendation." ”

Lin Xuji finished speaking. Chen Yan hurriedly went out of class and echoed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Lin said is extremely true, and it is a good thing that the army is triumphant. As the Son of Heaven, the emperor should perform the gift of suburban labor! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

Soon, many officials stood up to express their approval of Lin Xuji's day.

The so-called suburban labor means to go to the suburbs to greet and comfort them. In ancient times, the emperor personally or appointed ministers to the suburbs of Beijing to hold a grand ceremony to welcome and comfort the victorious soldiers. It is the gift of suburban labor. This is also the highest etiquette of the country in the feudal era for the soldiers who returned from the war for the country.

It stands to reason that welcoming the soldiers returning from the war for the country is understandable, but these words feel so awkward in the ears of many people.

Soon. A minister stood up and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty...... This is not appropriate. Although Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou made military contributions to the country, their merits were not so great that they wanted His Majesty to go out of the suburbs to greet him, and the ministers thought that it would be enough to send one or two ministers to replace His Majesty. ”

Everyone looked at it, eh, this person turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, what is going on?

You must know that Lu Xiangsheng is a dignified secretary of the military department, and he should be the most active in activities like this to welcome the returning soldiers from the expedition, and his relationship with Sun Chuanting is very good, why is he opposed today?

However, anyone who can stand in the Taiji Hall and hold a meeting with Emperor Lao Tzu every day is generally not too low, and many people only understand what Lu Xiangsheng means after just turning their eyes twice. Chen Yan, like many people, was slightly taken aback at first, but then thought about it, and he quickly recognized the subtext in Lu Xiangsheng's words, his eyes turned around Yueyang, who was standing opposite, and he sneered slightly, stood up and said: "Lord Lu's words are wrong, Lord Sun and Lord Hong led the army to exterminate the last thief of my Ming Dynasty, and since then I have no banditry in the Ming Dynasty, although this merit cannot be overpowered, but if you can't afford the gift of suburban labor, the old man will not agree first, and those tens of millions of soldiers who fought for the country will not agree!" ”

Chen Yan's words are so righteous and awe-inspiring, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, they are full of funny taste.

The Tai Chi Hall was filled with Chen Yan's voice, but it was so harsh in some people's ears. Just as the so-called uncle can bear the aunt and can't bear it, Yue Yang was about to speak, but another slightly hoarse voice sounded in the middle of the Taiji Hall.

"Chen Ge is wrong with this!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was slightly startled, who was so bold and dared to compete with Chen Yan. Although Chen Yan's level as an official is not very good, after all, he is a person from the Hanlin Academy, and he has also been a waiter for Chongzhen for more than ten years.

Soon, a person walked out from among the ministers, and he strode out and sneered at Chen Yan: "Elder Chen Ge, if it is said that the people who have returned from the battlefield for the country will have to go out of Beijing for outskirts, then who in the Ming Dynasty can have greater credit than the Marquis of Zhongyong?" But when the Marquis of Zhongyong and the army of Xuan entered Beijing, there was no official to greet him, could it be that Chen Ge Lao thought that the merits of the Marquis of Zhongyong and the army of Xuan for my Ming Dynasty were not worth mentioning? ”

Quiescence...... Silence like never before.

It's not that no one thought about this issue, but no one has ever dared to mention it in public, and now someone has finally said it openly.

Looking at the person who came, Chen Yan's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he said coldly: "Ma Shilang, today is to discuss the affairs of Lord Sun and Lord Hong, what does it have to do with the Marquis of Zhongyong?" ”

Looking at the angry Chen Yan, this person sneered: "Old Chen Ge, the lower officials are just talking about things. The lower officials don't understand, the same soldier who fought for the country, why some people have made immortal feats but are neglected, and the other has made some merits but has been praised to the sky, could it be that there is no story in this? Or are there people who are jealous of the virtuous and want to suppress the heroes of the country? ”

"You are presumptuous!"

Chen Yan was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he pointed at the official and shouted: "Ma Shiying, the Son of Heaven once again you are unbelievably open-mouthed, do you really think that this official can't govern you?" ”

The official pursed his lips, "Elder Chen, if you want to cure the sins of the lower officials, you need to ask the emperor, although the lower officials are small and low, but not everyone can punish the crimes if they want to." ”

Well, it seems that this official is consumed by Chen Yan.

"Ma Shiying?"

And Yue Yang, who was standing in front, was stunned at first when he heard this name, and then his expression became a little strange. This name is not only not unfamiliar to him, but it is quite familiar.

Turning his head and asking Lu Xiangsheng behind him: "Lord Lu, this person is Ma Shiying Ma Yaocao?" ”

"Master Hou also knows this person?" Lu Xiangsheng's words carried a trace of doubt, but also a trace of imperceptible strangeness.

"I ...... Well...... It's just a matter of hearing about it. Yue Yang touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.

How can you not know this Jun Yueyang, this guy has played an important role in the history of the late Ming Dynasty in another time and space.

Ma Shiying, a person to paraphrase the lines in "Journey to the West", is "Wow! When traitors are so different, I serve you. "Lao Ma stepped into the official career is still very orthodox, passed the imperial examination and was able to be an official, and the drill camp was okay, and he was already a governor in Chongzhen for five years, but life is like this, if it is too smooth, something will happen, and he was dismissed because of bribery with public funds, so he went to Jinling to become a common man again, and met his only confidant in his life Ruan Dacheng during his time in Jinling.

Perhaps it was Yue Yang's arrival that changed the trajectory of this time and space, and in another time and space, he had to wait until next year to regain his life, but he somehow re-integrated into the ranks of civil servants, and also entered the Ministry of Officials as the right attendant, and stood up for Yue Yang on such an occasion today. Looking at the continuous confrontation between Ma Shiying and then Chen Yanzheng not far away, this made Yue Yang feel like a thunderstorm.

"Damn, is my brother just so attracting the attention of traitors?"

Yue Yang, who felt very puzzled, sighed lightly and shifted his gaze back to Chongzhen, only to find that the boss was looking at Chen Yan and Ma Shiying, who were arguing, with relish.

And Lu Xiangsheng also looked at Yue Yang and sighed in his heart, since this guy came to the capital, the capital has changed from the appearance of a pool of stagnant water in the past to become very lively, first the emperor planned to establish a new army in Beijing, and then a group of gentlemen led the soldiers of the Beijing camp to make trouble in front of the palace, and then the British duke was rectified, and then Chen Yan jumped out again, what is wrong with this world?
