"This Ye Xiaotian is simply blind to the court! The emperor was merciful and only demoted his official position without aggravating the punishment. He didn't want to repay, but intensified, just returned to Guizhou, and once again provoked the dispute between the local officials, and even arrested the Tusi of Cao, Zhan, Zhang, and Yang, and now the wicked people sued first! Adult ......"

Hua Qingfeng took Ye Xiaotian's official letter to Zhan, Cao, Zhang, and Yang, and looked at Ye Mengxiong with righteous indignation, but when he looked at Lord Futai's face, his voice stopped abruptly.

Ye Mengxiong's thick sword-like eyebrows frowned slightly, and faint crow's feet wrinkled at the corners of his eyes. He was holding a newspaper in his hand, a thin page, but his fingers were very hard, obviously trying to suppress his anger.

Ye Mengxiong's side is a feudal official, an old minister who came out of a hundred battles, the city government is very deep, and his joy and anger are invisible. Hua Qingfeng has been his staff member for a while, and he knows his temperament quite well, and it is rare to see him have such an angry demeanor, so naturally he doesn't dare to say more.

Ye Mengxiong read a newspaper, which was equivalent to a special newspaper of the Ming Dynasty -- internal reference. Most of the records above are the movements of the imperial court and major military events. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his private affairs will naturally be included in the scope of state affairs, so there will be a little lace news from time to time.

For example, Emperor Wanli was drunk one day and summoned two palace ladies to sing and dance for him, and Zhang Juzheng, who was very strict with him, severely reprimanded him, and then sued the Queen Mother to make him kneel down and blame himself, which was published in the palace newspaper for officials all over the world to read.

Due to the limited communication conditions at that time, it took a long time for the newspaper to reach the local area, and the news that Ye Mengxiong was reading at this moment was actually the old news more than 20 days ago.

What Ye Mengxiong was reading at this time was all news about His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire. The emperor had a strong sense of boredom with the role he played and with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so the young, undecided emperor took an extreme retaliatory measure: he did not go to court.

No suburbs, no temples, no courts, no sees. The otaku emperor was too lazy to do that kind of face-saving work every day, and he refused to show up in the deep palace. The reason given by Zhu Yijun was "dizziness, dark eyes, lack of energy", and after taking the medicine, he was still "weak and dizzy".

However, he was able to take nine concubines in one day. It is said that there are also handsome little eunuchs. He was also pressed under the crotch by the lewd Wanli Tianzi, pretending to be a female jade rabbit, and on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, he was playing with chrysanthemums.

The ministers were deeply outraged by the emperor's irresponsible refusal to go to court, although the court meeting had become a formality, and the real military affairs were decided by the emperor in secret outside the court meeting after the emperor summoned the relevant confidential ministers. As a result, the impeachment of Zhang Xueflakes was generally sent to the court, hundreds of thousands. Heaps of fortresses.

Perhaps, only that Xu Boyi and Xu Gonggong can see some clues from this: the nine beauties who were made concubines by Emperor Wanli in one day are actually more or less like Yingying, or nose, or eyes, or charm......

As for the ...... of those handsome little eunuchs who were fortunate by the emperor, Xu Boyi was very glad that he did not have the slightest resemblance to Ye Xiaotian, otherwise he would inevitably have to taste the taste of being a woman. The Son of Wanli, who was the Son of Heaven but was easily defeated by Ye Xiaotian, was in this kind of spiritual self. He vented his frustration and anger in the middle of the confession......

Ye Mengxiong is a famous minister in the world, and he has always taken the world as his own responsibility. Naturally, he was deeply saddened by the emperor's self-willed depravity. He slammed the table angrily, startling Hua Qingfeng. Hurriedly retracted the official letter in his hand as if he were offering a treasure.

Ye Mengxiong let out a long breath, slowly raised his eyes, and said lightly to Hua Qingfeng: "What's the matter?" ”

Hua Qingfeng hurriedly handed over Ye Xiaotian's official letter again, and said, "My lord, this is an official letter from Ye Xiaotian, the official of Woniuling, to report to the adult, you can see ......."

Ye Mengxiong took the official letter. I was squinting my eyes and looking carefully, and a person suddenly flashed in at the door, and my feet were very brisk, like a raccoon, and I didn't speak when I got closer. He gently put a few official letters on the table.

Hua Qingfeng glanced sideways, and he was angry. Of course, this bastard who came was his baby brother-in-law Su Xuntian. Su Xuntian's nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked disdainful of his brother-in-law, and Hua Qingfeng was even more depressed when he saw it in his eyes.

Su Xuntian, a bastard boy, rushed over from Woniuling after he became the master of Futai, and cried to him: Why Ye Xiaotian doesn't reuse him anymore, he was ostracized in Woniuling, and now that the dragons in Woniuling have no leader, he doesn't know where to go......

Su Xuntian cried with a handful of snot and tears, crying so that Hua Qingfeng's heart softened. Who in this world is really good to him? Of course, it's his brother-in-law, a real relative, an outsider like Ye Xiaotian, can he be trusted?

Hua Qingfeng took advantage of the opportunity for him to be the master of Lord Futai, and sent his brother-in-law Su Xuntian to the Yamen of Futai, and became the secretary in front of Lord Futai, in charge of the documents and the draft of the manuscript.

Ye Mengxiong, as a feudal official, military, political, and judicial officer, is equivalent to a staff officer, and the clerk in charge is equivalent to a secretary. Hua Qingfeng and his brother-in-law Su Xuntian played the role of staff and secretary in Futai Yamen, the problem was that when he put his brother-in-law into Futai Yamen, he found out that this bastard had eaten iron scales, and he was still doing things for Ye Xiaotian wholeheartedly.

Right now, Hua Qingfeng had just handed over an eye medicine to Lord Futai's case, and Su Xuntian ran over to hand over a few official letters, Hua Qingfeng immediately guessed that it must be related to Ye Xiaotian, otherwise he, a brother-in-law with no conscience, would not be so active.

Sure enough, what Su Xuntian handed to Ye Mengxiong was Zhang Xiaoquan of the Tongren Zhang clan who confessed to Lord Futai that several major local officials conspired with the intention of killing Ye Xiaotian. The other is an official letter from Shiqian Yang's Tusi Yang Rong pleading guilty to the crime.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoquan also submitted a piece of music to the imperial court to ask for guilt. He invited himself to be degraded to Tongzhi, and elected Yu Junting as the prefect and Dai Chonghua as the superintendent. Shi Qian's Yang clan proposed to hand over the judicial power to the imperial court.

Ye Mengxiong had already received a letter from Qiao Hanwen in Jingli before, and knew that Ye Xiaotian had promised to cooperate with them to deal with the ambitious Yang Yinglong together. Now Ye Xiaotian and Yang Yinglong have not directly fought each other, and Ye Xiaotian does not have the strength to fight with Yang Yinglong now, but behind him stands the behemoth of the imperial court, and the changes in the political situation in Tongren and Shiqian are related to their entire strategic layout in Guizhou, and it is also a key for them to squeeze Yang Yinglong's growth and expansion space.

Seeing these official letters at this time, Ye Mengxiong naturally knew that behind all this, there was Ye Xiaotian's promotion. Ye Mengxiong couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile, and the displeasure caused by the emperor's neglect of government was also alleviated a lot.

They once wanted to use Huxian, which had been reformed and returned to the river, as a nail for the imperial court to wedge into Guizhou, but unfortunately it failed. But looking at it now, it is the lost corner and the harvest of mulberry elm. The imperial court deliberately regarded Huxian as a nail wedged into Guizhou, and failed. But unintentionally, a nail was inserted in the middle of the unanimous local officials--Ye Xiaotian.

This nail must be used well, but it must not be broken or bent, it must be cultivated well before it can be used greatly......

Hua Qingfeng was disappointed to see that Lord Futai's face was cloudy, and he was not depressed. When Lord Futai was sitting on the desk and writing, he and Su Xuntian quietly retreated outside the study, Hua Qingfeng couldn't help but ask Su Xuntian: "Xuntian, I have never been able to understand, you and I are relatives of Uncle Lang, and I have always been kind to you, why do you repeatedly help outsiders?" ”

Su Xuntian wanted to ignore it, but he took two steps, and finally stood again, turned to look at Hua Qingfeng, and said solemnly: "Brother-in-law, you are by the side of Lord Futai, and you can learn a lot of inside information that ordinary people don't know, can't you see that Ye Xiaotian is as lucky as a rainbow?"

Can't you see that the imperial court and Lord Futai favor him? You can't see that Ye Xiaotian can stir up trouble in Tongren, because An, Song, and Tian secretly support him, or contain Yang Yinglong, which creates such a situation for him?

Brother-in-law, how helpful it is for those who have attained the Dao! I have read less books than you, and I understand this truth, why don't you understand? When you were in Huxian, between good and bad, you never said anything and looked like a puppet. I've always felt that you were too cowardly.

Can...... At that time, you were just cowardly. What about you now? What to do against the situation, you have to do it! This stupidity is incorrigible compared to cowardice. I can't figure it out, what's wrong with you, why do you have to keep getting along with Ye Xiaotian? ”

Hua Qingfeng was speechless, Su Xuntian shook his head and walked away. Hua Qingfeng silently stared at his back, the sunlight reflected on him through the horizontal fence above the corridor, and the figure gradually disappeared between light and dark......

Su Xuntian's voice has been echoing in Hua Qingfeng's ears: For what? For what exactly?

Hua Qingfeng kept asking himself, and a hazy thought gradually became clear: the misunderstanding in the past, even if he really didn't completely relieve his doubts because of Su Ya's explanation, in fact, the fact that Ye Xiaotian and Su Ya had no contact since then was enough to prove it.

The reason why he kept targeting Ye Xiaotian and wanted to defeat him with all his might was why? Maybe it's just because of one point: Ye Xiaotian is his cowardly and incompetent witness and participant, as long as this person is still there, he can't forget how unbearable he used to be.

He wanted to defeat Ye Xiaotian just to prove himself. proves that he is not so cowardly, not so incompetent, and only by letting Ye Xiaotian fall at his feet can he regain his courage and confidence. What he wants to defeat is not actually Ye Xiaotian, but the past that makes him embarrassed.

However, in order to achieve this goal, isn't what he is doing now ugly? Hua Qingfeng silently lowered her head, looking at his long and oblique figure, the wind blew his robe, shaking gently, and the figure on the ground looked like a boneless worm, so ugly.

"Where do I go from here?" Hua Qingfeng's mood is as gloomy as the autumn wind blowing on her body. (To be continued......)
