Mr. Wei told Duan Chu that Song Huizong's poems, calligraphy and paintings are all excellent, and if he is a literati, he will definitely illuminate future generations.

Mr. Wei finally concluded:

"It's just that providence made people make Zhao Ji cast the wrong baby, cast into the emperor's family, and become the emperor again, not only suffering himself, but also the Great Song Dynasty, so many Li people!"

Duan Chu gained a lot of knowledge, drew inferences from one another, and said to Mr. Wei:

"I heard that the current emperor Lao'er likes to burn pills and refine medicine the most, and it seems that it is also the will of heaven to make people, he should not be the emperor, but should be a Taoist priest, or a true Taoist priest who can't eat meat and marry a wife."

The true way is an alchemy sect.

There are many rules and precepts of the True Path.

Not eating meat and fishy is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is not to break the color precept, that is, to abstain from sex.

is the same as the Fu Sect, so there are not so many taboos.

As long as he wants, the Taoist priest can eat meat and drink wine in large bowls, and he can also marry a wife and have children.

Mr. Wei shook his head at Duan Chu's words.

Although he agreed with Duan Chu's idea, he didn't want Duan Chu to continue to say this.

is like what Duan Chu said to Zhuzi: This is a rebellious word, and you can't talk nonsense.

"Sir, I can also see that you hate the current emperor Lao'er, if Master Wen rises all the way and finally becomes a member of the third grade in the capital, will you go to the capital with him?"

Mr. Wei shook his head resolutely.

"I support him to go to Yingtianfu to be the governor of the palace, but I definitely don't support him to go to the capital, the king is like a tiger, his character is not enough to support him to deal with, the open and secret battles in the officialdom of the capital."

Wen Chaotian's personality is very impulsive, and he can't afford to be dumb at all.

In the officialdom of the capital, sometimes you have to hold your head high to be a grandfather, and sometimes you have to bend down to be a grandson.

Wen Chaotian's character is not a person who can be a grandson.

That's why Mr. Wei said that.

In fact, his judgment is more pessimistic than he said:

In his heart, as long as Wen Chaotian enters Beijing, it is equivalent to stepping into a coffin with one foot.

The officialdom of the capital is a Shura field that eats people and does not spit out bones.

is as strong as Zhang Gongmao, and he also relies on relying on the emperor, and fully supports all the emperor's edicts, whether good or bad, to have today's status.

At the smallest, it is sleek, and at the largest, it is political wisdom.

Wen Chaotian definitely can't be so tactful and politically wise as Zhang Gongmao.

Unless he is blackened, only listens to the emperor's orders, only does things for the emperor, and becomes a bureaucrat who does not distinguish between black and white and does not talk about good and evil.

……

The current Wen Chaotian has no signs of blackening.

When Duan Chu and Mr. Wei were chatting, Wen Chaotian sent someone to call him.

Because Xie Jianglan took Yan Song and came to visit Wen Chaotian.

Wen Chaotian did not let Mr. Wei come forward.

This was not Wen Chaotian's original intention, but Mr. Wei took the initiative to ask for it.

Mr. Wei didn't want Xie Jianglan to recognize himself as the Wei who had sung against the current emperor. Quiet.

Xie Jianglan Yan Song, when he met with Wen Chaotian, in addition to Duan Chu, there were seven other people beside him.

is what Mr. Wei said, Xie Jianglan's subordinates can block the dead soldier for the master.

Wen Chaotian smiled on his face, but snorted coldly in his heart.

Even if you used to be beautiful, but now that you have stepped down and come to see this mansion, you still have seven people from the rivers and lakes, all of whom still have hidden blades.

Wen Chaotian looked down on Xie Jianglan from the bottom of his heart.

The Wen family has money, but the money comes from a very correct way, and it is all earned from legitimate business.

Xie Jianglan is inside and outside Gusu City, sitting on thousands of acres of land and 10,000 acres of fertile land.

This is all when he was the first assistant, and his family relied on his power to snatch it from the hands of the common people.

Even if Xie Jianglan was the first assistant, he had done a lot of things that were beneficial to the empire, but robbing the people of their land and property was a stain that he could never erase.

What's more, Xie Jianglan himself doesn't think it's a stain.

He once defended himself for his family's cunning and robbery:

"The old man once worked so hard for the empire, and there was no merit and hard work, even if the old man himself didn't want to enjoy it, he should lay a little foundation for future generations."

In response to Xie Jianglan's defense, Wen Chaotian said this to Duan Chu:

"From the beginning, people are ashamed, what is shame? Even if you do something wrong, you can change it, and if you can't change it because of the situation, you must condemn yourself in your heart, which is shameful and courageous. ”

"You see that when you step down as the first assistant and find reasons for yourself in a grand manner, how can you have the slightest shame!"

Therefore, after Wen Chaotian's teachings, Duan Chu also looked down on Xie Jianglan.

……

Xie Jianglan and Yan Song went to Yan's house first to appease Yan Zonglu.

After resting for another night, he came to the Pengzhou Mansion and asked to see Wen Chaotian.

If you don't bring a gift to the local governor, you won't be able to talk about it.

Xie Jianglan brought a set of seven Gusu brushes, which were carefully made by famous artists, and the materials were wolf's hair.

Gusu City is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, not only the girls are handsome, but there are also many literati and writers.

Therefore, this kind of brush is a specialty of Gusu and is very popular with people in the world.

Xie Jianglan and Wen Chaotian met and said official words.

What Yan Hanlin is the proud protégé of the old man, his family is unfortunate, and the little guy is gouged out, and he also asks the prefect to be selfless, uphold justice for the Yan family, and bring the eldest son of Qian to justice.

Wen Chaotian smiled and said, "Bring them to justice? Hehe, Mr. Qian, is still in prison by this government. ”

Yan Hanlin was very good at chewing words, and hurriedly rounded the field for Xie Jianglan:

"Then please prefect and enforce the law impartially!"

Wen Chaotian looked at Yan Song and was very dissatisfied with his words.

"Yan Hanlin, to be honest, in fact, this government has not enforced the law impartially, if this government had enforced the law impartially, it would not have locked up Prince Qian until now - because he is not the real murderer."

Wen Chaotian's words almost choked Yan Song to death.

Xie Jianglan pulled Yan Song behind his back, and said in his heart that this kid, because of the failure of the imperial examination, is not stable in speaking and doing things now, and he made a big mistake in speaking just now.

Asking people to enforce the law impartially, doesn't it mean that people haven't enforced the law impartially before?

Xie Jianglan snorted and said to Wen Chaotian:

"Master Wen, there is no doubt that Mr. Qian is the murderer, you and I know this, but he has Chang Ninghou behind him, and the old man understands your difficulties......"

……

Zhang Gongmao is indeed already making preparations, and plans to bleed a big landlord like Xie Jianglan.

Now that Xie Jianglan has united, there are many rich and powerful local tyrants and gentry in the north and south of the river.

They plan to confront Zhang Gongmao to the end when Zhang Gongmao implements the law change.

And the murder of the Yan family's little servant should be regarded as an appetizer before the arrival of the war.

Anyway, Xie Jianglan and the forces behind him put Chang Ninghou on Zhang Gongmao's side.

Therefore, whether Mr. Qian will be convicted in the end this time is the focus of the battle between the two sides.

Xie Jianglan was playing haha just now, and he also commanded Wen Chaotian's army.

If you let go of Qian Gongzi, you must have made some deal with Chang Ninghou in private.

Wen Chaotian will not be incomprehensible.

So as soon as Xie Jianglan Yan loosened his front foot, Wen Chaotian asked Duan Chu on the back foot:

"Yuan Qi, you said that this time, should we let go of Mr. Qian?"

Duan Chu replied calmly: "My lord, to be honest, although Mr. Qian is not a good thing, but he really doesn't dare to kill people and dig out his heart, we have been locked up for too long, and he should have been released a long time ago." ”

……

Chang Ninghou and Jiang Yishan arrived only one day later than Xie Jianglan and Yan Song.

However, Chang Ninghou did not delay, and learned that his brother-in-law was still in prison, so he didn't even enter the gate of the Qian Mansion, and rode directly to the gate of the mansion.

He waved his horsewhip and said to the guard at the door: "Lao Tzu is Changninghou, go and report it quickly!" ”

Changning waited for the coarse and fine, and was unceremonious to the officials, which showed that he had the strength and confidence.

Letting the officials go in to report and then enter the government office is to show that he has a high look at Wen Chaotian.

……

In the tea room of the palace, Wen Chaotian and Chang Ninghou sat facing each other.

Wen Chaotian fiddled with the wolf brush on the desk and said: "Gusu wolf is certainly worthy of its name. ”

In the past, Duan Chu would definitely think that this sentence was clueless.

But now that he understands, Wen Chaotian is hinting to Chang Ninghou that Xie Jianglan has come.

Chang Ninghou laughed.

"Master Wen, it seems that the surname Xie has put a lot of pressure on you, and I won't embarrass you, when I settle Xie Jianglan and Yan Song's kid, it's not too late for you to release my brother-in-law!"

After Changning Hou Haoshuang finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Walking to the door, Chang Ninghou turned back and said, "Master Wen, Gonggong Huang of the celebrant supervisor, let me say hello to him for him." ”

Huang Jin asked Chang Ning to speak, ostensibly asking Wen Chaotian how well, but actually asking Mr. Wei how well.

Chang Ninghou didn't know the inside story, and thought that Huang Jin and Wen Chaotian had a relationship.

That's why he was so polite to Wen Chaotian.

However, to Xie Jianglan and Yan Song, Chang Ninghou did not intend to be polite.
