Jang Gyu put down the recital that the cabinet had quietly sent and sighed.

Chang Sui came in and reported: "Master, Yu Xiu asks to see you." ”

Yu Keyuan?

His own students, of course, want to meet, this is someone he can fight for.

Jang Gyu instructed, "Invite him in." ”

The chief went with the order.

Zhang Gui motioned to the child: "Put these away." ”

Even if he is a student, he can't let him know that he is still firmly in control of the government while he is pleading behind closed doors, otherwise the false name of resigning and pleading will be seen through, or even attacked under an excuse.

The little boy received the order, and before Keyuan arrived, he packed up all the pieces and carried them away.

When Yu Keyuan came in, Zhang Guizheng was standing under an old plum tree in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, plain white clothes, and his eyes were sad.

Yu Keyuan stepped forward to salute: "The student has seen Master Zhang. ”

Zhang Gui turned his head in shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Yu Keyuan with his own hands, and his mournful face pulled out a reluctant smile, and said, "You are here, please sit down quickly." ”

After that, he took Yu Keyuan's hand and sat down on the stone bench under the plum tree.

The child stepped forward to serve tea.

Zhang Gui smiled and sighed: "At this time, you don't hide far away, what are you doing here?" I'm afraid that after I go out, I will be attacked again with an excuse. ”

A kind teacher who thinks deeply about his students.

Yu Keyuan paused, got up and bowed his hand, bowed to Zhang Guishen, and said apologetically but firmly: "The student implores Lord Shoufu to return to his hometown to guard the system, so as to fulfill the filial piety of the son of man!" ”

Jang Gyu was stunned.

Why hasn't anyone else come to the door yet, but his students have come first to "invite" him to leave the court?!

Zhang Gui's face was slightly gloomy, he stopped smiling, stared at Yu Keyuan, who couldn't afford to give a salute, and didn't say a word.

Yu Keyuan shook it to the end, not moving.

The teacher and student were in a stalemate for a long time, and Zhang Guicai said coldly: "Why you? ”

was opposed by his own students, how could he win the trust of the people in the world?!

Yu Keyuan replied: "When Xu Ge's family field was confiscated, if he saw Master Zhang, he would probably ask such a question. ”

Zhang Gui was so angry that he almost didn't catch his breath, and he couldn't care about the manners and etiquette, so he slapped the old plum tree and said bitterly: "How can this be confused? The old man has worked hard and made countless enemies, and he has no selfishness, all for the sake of the country!

"The powerful and powerful wantonly encroached on the land, concealed it and refused to pay taxes, so that the people had no land to plant, so they had to sell their sons and daughters, and the imperial court taxes were reduced year after year, seeing that even the military expenses and salaries were not enough to support, if the old man did not re-measure the land and verify the taxes, I was afraid that the Great Qi Guozuo would soon be gone!

"You are also a person who has read the scriptures and understood the principles of the world, how can you not even understand this?"

Yu Keyuan bowed and replied sincerely: "Lord Shoufu's concerns are not unreasonable, but using the teacher to deter the world and radical means to achieve quick results, the students think that it is not a good strategy in the end. Therefore, for the sake of the long-term plan and for the sake of oneself, I also ask Lord Shoufu to improve the new policy and slowly figure it out. ”

There is another sentence, Yu Keyuan is far from easy to say.

Since you are not afraid of Shilin's spurning and dare to take advantage of your teacher, why don't you restrain yourself, first ignore those granges in the suburbs of Beijing, and pay taxes on time and in full?

How can we be strict with others and lenient with ourselves?

After hearing this, Zhang Gui stared at Yu Keyuan for a long time, his eyes gradually became cold, and he said coldly: "It turns out that the purpose of your visit this time is here." ”

What to say and implore him to return to his hometown to guard the system is just a prevarication, and the real intention is still on top of the new deal!

Yu Keyuan should not be silent.

Zhang Gui thought that he was acquiescing, and became more and more angry, pointing at him and scolding: "Who are you a lobbyist for?" What benefits did they promise you, so that you would be willing to do such a deceitful thing to destroy your ancestors! ”

Yu Keyuan was not angry, but got up and looked up at Zhang Gui, and replied calmly with a sincere expression: "The student is not a lobbyist for anyone, but he is worried that the teacher will act radically and lose power in the future, but I am afraid that he will be ruined." Therefore, I specially came to persuade him, hoping that the teacher would consider it. ”

When Zhang Gui heard this, he glanced at Yu Keyuan deeply.

His own students know that among all his students, including the second assistant Zhang Wei, there are few who are more pure-minded than Yu Keyuan.

Zhang Gui knew that Yu Keyuan was telling the truth, but he didn't like to hear it.

Since he has chosen such a thorny path of reform, he is not afraid of storms and storms along the way. What he wants is nothing more than to create a prosperous era of Daqi with his own hands, and his name will go down in history!

Zhang Gui suppressed his anger and said calmly: "You go." ”

Yu Keyuan wanted to persuade a few more words, but seeing that Zhang Gui had already turned his back and was alone in front of the old plum tree, he obviously couldn't talk any further, so he had to resign: "The student is retired." ”

After speaking, he gave a deep bow and withdrew.

The footsteps faded away until they disappeared.

Zhang Gui came back to his senses, stood quietly for a moment in front of the empty moon cave door, and suddenly commanded in a loud voice: "Come on, serve the pen and ink!" ”

……

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li read Zhang Gui's bloody plea, slapped it on the table with a "snap", and shouted: "It doesn't matter if the mourning family is worried or not, their purpose is to drive Yuanfu out of the court, so that he can continue to be a silverfish that fills his own pockets!" ”

Qing Mama didn't know what Zhang Gui wrote in the letter, but she understood that Empress Dowager Li always trusted Zhang Gui very much, let alone a courtier, that is, Qi Yu and Zhang Gui had a conflict, and Empress Dowager Li was mostly on Zhang Gui's side.

Now that Empress Dowager Li is so angry, nine times out of ten she wants to protect Zhang Gui, and Mama Qing can't help but be secretly anxious.

The official Ding is worried that this is the ancestral system, and Zhang Gui concealed his father's funeral and did not report it, no matter what hardships he had, it was wrong.

What's more, Zhang Gui has always been strict in treating people in government, which has long caused many people to be dissatisfied, and now the new policy he is vigorously implementing has aroused the complaints of some powerful people.

Empress Dowager Li is going to be the enemy of most of the officials in the court, and try to ensure that Zhang Gui stays in the court!

Empress Dowager Li trusts and relies on Zhang Gui so much, it is no wonder that some people privately speculate that there may be an affair between the two that cannot be told to outsiders.

In this case, there is only one way left!

As Mama Qing expected, Empress Dowager Li immediately ordered someone to invite Qi Yu to discuss.

Seeing this, Mama Qing was afraid that the people below would not be able to do anything good at their young age, so she took the initiative to take over this errand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the Queen Mother, the slave maid will personally go to invite Your Majesty." ”

Empress Dowager Li was annoyed in her heart, where could she take care of Mama Qing's thoughts, she nodded directly and agreed, and urged: "Go and come back quickly!" ”

Mama Qing hurriedly agreed, bowed and retreated.
