Chapter 127: Visitors
The two siblings glanced at each other.
Even Mo Alian, who was average in martial arts, could see that Sun Yanling had just blocked Mo Zhongjing's knife with ease, if he hadn't been ruthless, Mo Zhongjing wouldn't have been able to make a few moves in his hands.
The brother and sister nodded, Mo Zhongjing simply put the knife on the table, looked at Sun Yanling, and said coldly: "Now you are relieved, right?" ”
Sun Yanling smiled faintly: "This is the best, after all, the strong people of Xincheng are still the most convinced of your Mo family, otherwise, the imperial court will not formulate a policy of 'razing and destroying the country', and it is best for Mo Da Tusi to give an edict, and I don't have to worry about changing Tusi to govern." ”
Hearing Sun Yanling's words of both soft and hard, the three brothers and sisters of the Mo family exchanged glances with each other: It seems that they have already left their hands behind, if they insist on not complying, this toast will have to be replaced.
"Okay, I'll go and persuade my father and brother, but General Sun, you have to promise that you will never touch a hair of my Mo family before this."
Seeing that Daxiu was still brave enough to talk about the conditions with himself at this time, Sun Yanling's eyes couldn't help flashing with different colors, he thought about it slightly, and asked, "How sure are you...... Mo Da Tusi is very stubborn, don't think of using this delaying tactic to go out to find reinforcements, if that's the case, I won't be as polite as I am now. ”
Daxiu smiled proudly, "General Sun's words are serious, you are a knife and I am a fish, and now the net worth and life of our Mo family are in your hands, are you still afraid that we will not be able to do any tricks?" ”
After listening to Daxiu's words, Sun Yanling looked at the girl in front of her again.
---- bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to the brilliance, a Zhuang family's clothes can hardly hide its beauty, can calm down in case of trouble, do not beg or complain, directly find out the core of the problem, it seems to be pampered, but it is a good idea, no wonder Mo Da Tusi values this little daughter the most.
---- is beautiful and wise, affectionate and righteous, and when encountering a crisis, he is not in a hurry or panic, and strives for the best ending.
Such a woman is actually a very good helper, and the Mo family's family is also a good match, and she is like a local emperor, he wants to get closer to the Mo family, if he agrees to Daxiu and become in-laws with each other, wouldn't it be a matter of course?
In this way, he no longer has to think about whether Kong Sizhen is keeping his promise, and whether he still has a chance to marry her.
It's just that the shadow that swept over his heart, Sun Yanling still couldn't let go of it.
No matter how good the girl in front of him is, she is not the person in his heart after all.
But anyway, this time, for the sake of the overall situation, he finally took advantage of Daxiu and owed her a favor.
Even if she really took this opportunity to move reinforcements, he had to give her this opportunity.
Sun Yanling turned sideways and said in a deep voice: "Then Sun Mou will wait for Miss Mo Er's good news." ”
Daxiu walked out.
She didn't look back, but softly sang the love song of the Zhuang people.
…… Brother is a plum branch in Nanshan, the bees are looking for the mountains to fly, the bees fall on the flowers and trees, and the wings float and are reluctant to return.
Nanshan swallows fly far, fly around and fly back, there are a lot of flowers on the road, and it is rare to encounter this plum.
Sister is a plum branch in the high mountains, the cold snow blows to the wind in winter, and the sister is unequaled all by her brother, and she is all dependent on her brother to cultivate.
Brother, if you have the heart to make a friendship, even if you have a high mountain road, even if you have a long road, real gold is not afraid of fire.
Today, my brother sits on the side of the mountain, with or without the intention of saying a word, and with the intention of ferrying to the shore, and not crossing to the middle......
The singing voice is beautiful and fascinating, but after singing, it has some poignant meaning.
Such a sweet song, but sung so melancholy, that people almost shed tears when they heard it.
**
Two months later, in the Xincheng General's Mansion, Sun Yanling had dinner, and as soon as he sat down and drank half a cup of tea, the soldiers hurriedly came to report that the prince of Pingxi had come to visit.
"Senior brother, I heard that you have made a great contribution this time, and you have taken down the Mo Tusi Office without blood, which is powerful enough." Wu Yingxiong was dressed in a blue brocade robe, and there were almost no traces of him all the way from the capital to Guangxi, as if he lived here and came to visit the door at night.
Compared with Sun Yanling, who is handsome, dressed in a flower brocade robe, with a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes full of charming evil spirit, and thin lips without smiling but with a three-point smile, Wu Yingxiong looks modest and calm.
"The emperor is willing to let you out of Beijing, senior brother comes out this time, what do you have to do?" Sun Yanling said coldly and asked without answering.
The gaze that was originally carrying some evil aura suddenly looked like a sword out of its sheath, and the cold light shone brightly.
The guards who were serving tea seemed to feel the chill, and hurriedly picked up the tea tray and retreated.
"Definitely, with your tone and expression, if you want to be seen by outsiders, who would dare to be a barbarian general who is a young master and a flirtatious girl?" Although Wu Yingxiong was joking, he consciously chose a chair far away from Sun Yanling to sit down, so as not to be affected by his cold wind.
This is obviously because the head of Jingli has not let people go for a long time, and he is angry with him, so he is not fooled.
"What is the intention of Senior Brother? Speak up. Sun Yanling was concise and to the point.
Wu Yingxiong's white and slender fingers casually knocked on the table, but his tone was very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "On the seventh day of the first month of October, the first imperial concubine in the palace gave birth to the fourth elder brother, and the emperor was extremely happy and granted amnesty to the world. As a result, on October 16, the case was reported in the Suncheon Branch. In this year's Shuncheon Township Examination Field, there were 4,000 students and more than 1,700 tribute supervisors, but only 206 students were admitted. This scientific examination was conducted by Cao Benrong, a waiter in Hanlin, and Song Zhisheng as the main examiners, and fourteen people, including Li Zhenye, Zhang Ipu, and Cai Yuanxi, a doctor of Dali Temple, and Dr. Cai Yuanxi, a doctor of Guozijian, were the ...... for the examination."
"When Concubine Dong E entered the palace and was named the imperial concubine, the emperor once granted amnesty to the world, and this gave birth to the fourth elder brother and amnesty the world, it is really a saint!" Sun Yanling snorted coldly, "There are many applicants, and there are few admission places, and the mansions of those examiners are still not crowded?" ”
Wu Yingxiong avoided talking about Concubine Dong E, and said to himself: "Senior brother, you are really transparent. Indeed, as you said, some scholars gathered in Beijing for money and silver, or directly bribed the examiners, or turned the trustees to pay bribes. And those examiners also want to use this to make friends with the powerful and find a way for future promotion, and there are thousands of people who accept bribes and private promises, which is more than four or five times the number of admission places. Later, in order to deal with the situation of more monks and less porridge, after repeated deliberation and weighing the pros and cons, they actually formulated two admission standards in the order of the high and low titles of the scholars and their fathers: those with high titles must be recorded, those with high knighthoods and few party henchmen are second, and the children of officials above the third rank in Beijing are all successful; Those who are rich will be recorded, and those who are rich and not famous are second......"
Sun Yanling sneered again and again: "If they are bold enough, they are not afraid that they will have to spit it out if they eat it?" Although the saint is young today, he is the most talented, and these people are simply looking for death! ”
Wu Yingxiong sighed: "It's not, after the announcement of such a list, all the candidates were in an uproar, one of the candidates was named Zhang Han, who carved the Dao of Tou, and there was also a Jiang Wenzhuo, who simply engraved an anonymous revelation spread all over the government and the opposition, and Gongsheng Zhang Xiuhu used the revelation of the two to blackmail Li Zhenye and Zhang Ipu Erfang for 1,200 taels. On the same day, Ren Kepu Shangshu said to the right of the criminal department: After the Beifu list was issued, there were rumors and discussions, and there were dissatisfaction and complaints everywhere, and there were many disadvantages in this. It was also said that Lu Qixian, the person who was raised in the middle of the test, used more than 3,000 taels of silver, and there were not a few similar things that Lu Yiji bribed with examiners Li Zhenye and Zhang Ipu...... After receiving the recital, the emperor attached great importance to it, and ordered the officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to strictly interrogate ......"
"After being verified, the emperor issued an overduet on the 25th of the same month, pointing out that the science field is the most important thing to take scholars, and the Jingshi science field is the view of the provinces, and the officials are greedy for ink and selfishness, and they are lawless, which will inevitably affect the science fields in various places, and order the relevant personnel in this case to be severely punished to prevent the future."
"Before I left, Li Zhenye, Zhang Ipu, Cai Yuanxi, Lu Yiji, Xiang Shaofang, and Tian Yun and Wu Zuolin, who had paid bribes, had all been beheaded, their families were confiscated, and a total of 108 parents, brothers and wives had been displaced to Ningguta. At the same time, the emperor pursued to the end, and the connection was so extensive that 'the court office was half empty, and the prison was almost full'......"
Speaking of this, Sun Yanling had completely understood, and he looked at Wu Yingxiong scrutinically: "Senior brother means, taking advantage of the shortage of officials in the DPRK and China, to take the opportunity to make up for some of our people to enter?" ”
Wu Yingxiong nodded: "Senior brother, you are an understanding person. That's right, there are people in the DPRK and China who are good officials, and there are people in the DPRK and China who are good at doing things, such a good opportunity is simply a godsend, and it is not a pity not to use some of your own people? ”
He glanced at Sun Yanling's expression and said with a smile: "Father once said, you and my brothers, one scholar and one martial arts, although friends are better than brothers, you won't help me, right?" You also know that our Wu family is conscientious and conscientious in guarding the border and defending the country, but the emperor has never been at ease, using us and guarding us at the same time. Don't talk about our Wu family, it's you who are the feudal clan, why isn't this the case? Why do you think my righteous sister can't get out of the palace for a long time, or is the palace jealous, detaining her, first, to take care of the old department of the king of Dingnan, and second, to treat her as a half-hostage, to prevent Kong Tingxun from going to the south. ”
"My father said, since the emperor is guarding against us, of course we must also be prepared, and this opportunity is the best time. Brother, what do you think? ”
Sun Yanling said with a smile: "After all these years, is King Pingxi's preparation still less? Although the emperor is guarding against your Wu family, he can give a lot, why, your father is still not satisfied and wants to go to the next level? ”
"Bah, can you eat this rice indiscriminately, can you talk nonsense?" Wu Yingxiong denied repeatedly, "My father just wants to make preparations with both hands, besides, rely on it more, and the emperor will have a little more worries about what the emperor decides in the future, and you can listen to our thoughts more." All dynasties and dynasties, the master of high merit, how do you think Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, died? The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and my father is just taking precautions to leave a way back for our Wu family. ”
