Chapter 262: The villain has a will

Lu Biao, the secretary and young eunuch, and Lu Cao, the secretary of the department, were demoted to Lianzhou Sima and Jiaozhou Sima respectively for defamation, and were expelled from Beijing on the same day.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

For a while, the wind was loud.

Since then, all the policies issued by Shangfu Province have almost reached the point of prohibiting them, and the Xuxu schools in various places have recommended talented people to go to Beijing to participate in the year-end examinations.

The one who took over the post of secretary and young eunuch was the former secretary Fu Yuan, that is, the youngest son of Fu Shizhong.

The official department Langzhong was filled by Wang Qi in the examination of merit Langzhong, and Ouyang Lun of Shangshufu Literature was promoted to the examination of meritorious service, and presided over the examination of the opening of the department at the end of the year.

Ouyang Lun was born in a poor family, lost his youth, his mother was raised by his grandmother after remarrying, the family was lonely and poor, but he was eager to learn, and before entering the Shangshu Mansion, he had served as the commander of several counties.

Experienced in local administration.

"There's nothing you want to say to me?" In the Shangshu Mansion, Zhang Ying asked Gu Ba, who was sitting at the bottom, and after discussing the matter just now, he left Gu Ba alone.

Gu Bao raised his head, looked at Zhang Ying with a smile, and almost blurted out the words in his heart, but in the end he restrained himself, shook his head, and looked away, "No." ”

When Zhang Ying saw it, the disappointment in his eyes flashed, and he was relieved for a moment, "Wen Qi, if you don't say it, I'll say it for you, you don't want to know why I use Ouyang instead of you." ”

The text starts with Gu Ba's words.

"Ling Jun, I understand, he is ...... than me"

Zhang Ying waved his hand and interrupted Gu Ba's argument, "You may think that it is because Ouyang Lun is from a poor family, yes or no?" ”

Speaking of this, after a slight pause, Zhang Ying's tone was much heavier, "Wen Qi, background is one thing, but it is not enough to affect my decision, you and Alun have the same career experience, both have served in the local government, and your starting point is higher than him, you are the head of a county, and he is just a magistrate in the county." ”

"In terms of ability alone, you are on par with him, and maybe slightly better."

When Gu Ba heard this, his heart was hot, but he also became more and more confused.

He thought that he was more suitable than Ouyang Lun for the position of Gong Langzhong, and he was even more enthusiastic about presiding over the year-end exam, "Then why did Ling Jun choose him?" ”

Gu Bao finally asked the confusion that had accumulated in his heart.

Zhang Ying nodded with satisfaction and shouted, "I chose Alun because of the ruthlessness in him, what we have to do, there will be great resistance, Alun started from the end, he can come to this day because he dares to do what others don't do, and he can do what others can't." ”

"You look calm now, but there is still an undercurrent surging, and the distribution exiled Lu Biao and Lu Cao, just to let those people settle down a little, and there is no more blatant opposition." I didn't see that during this time, whether it was Hongde Hall or Xuanzheng Palace, or King Pengcheng and Du Taifu, there were many more people who came to the door.

"The ancient reformers, Qin Zhishang Ying, Chu Wu Qi, and even Wang Mang at the end of the Han Dynasty, none of them died well, I hope you can understand that we have no way out, we can only ask up and down, nine deaths without regrets, success is in the future, and the benefits will last forever."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ying's eyes were like torches, shining brightly, and that kind of determination made Gu Ba's whole heart surge, and it was difficult to restrain himself for a long time.

Asking up and down, nine deaths without regrets.

The merit is in the future, and the benefits are eternal.

That's how men should be.

"Yui." Gu Ba responded excitedly, the discomfort in his heart, at this moment, he had run away without a trace.

——*——*——

Hua Lingyi was finally able to stay, even if she was still very thin, her face was very pale, but her spirit was very good, and in addition to teaching her daughter homework every day, she still had the energy to analyze the Buddhist scriptures.

Because of the experience of that life, Zhang Xi actually didn't like Buddhism very much.

At this moment, looking at Ah Niang and Jingkong sitting together to discuss the newly introduced "Huayan" in Middle-earth, for the first time in her life, she did not feel bored, in her opinion, there is something that can divert Ah Niang's attention, which is a good thing.

Since A-Niang recovered from her illness, her mind has calmed down a lot.

Zhang Xi and the eldest sister and brother have a tacit understanding that they have never mentioned the bad things at home again.

When he was sent out of the mountain gate of Yaoguang Temple at night, Zhang Xi suddenly asked, "Silly, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow?" ”

"You want me to come over tomorrow?"

"Well, it's not." Zhang Xi nodded and shook his head, and finally nodded, "I promised you before to take you to the library in Zhang's mansion and clan to find books, if you don't make arrangements, I'll take you over tomorrow." ”

Jingkong listened, tilted his head and thought for a while, before he said, "Wait a few more days." ”

He remembered that Zhang Xi was reluctant to see Zhang Shangshuling, so during this time, he stayed in Yaoguang Temple and never returned to Zhang's mansion, so even if he was in a hurry, he didn't take the initiative to mention it.

"Don't wait,"

Zhang Xi said, "I should have taken you over a long time ago." ”

At the beginning, it was said that after the Lantern Festival, due to A-Niang's illness, it has been put on hold until now, she listened to Gu Qingyun in the morning, and Jingkong has been going to the gold market every day recently, as if she was looking for some books.

Zhang Xi suddenly remembered this incident.

Jingkong saw Zhang Xi's insistence, so he said: "Ah Yan, Lantai Pavilion has a rich collection of books, and it collects all the books in the world, or you can take me to Lantai Pavilion first." ”

"Okay," Zhang Xi agreed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "If you don't go to Lantai Pavilion, you have to be a day or two late, and when the time is determined, I will send someone to Changqiu Temple to tell you." ”

"Yes, I'll wait for your news." After the clearance was finished, the two said goodbye.

Zhang Xi watched the empty carriage leave, turned his head and instructed Cen Fumu behind him: "Eminem go to Showa to have a look, is Brother there?" ”

Cen Fumu did not immediately agree, but asked: "I don't know what the little lady has to do with Qilang-kun, if Qilang-jun is in the other courtyard, if you ask, the servant can answer." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, if Brother is here, you come back and tell me, and I'll go find him later."

Cen Fumu saw that Zhang Xi was reluctant to say more, so he had to respond, "Only." "I didn't follow Zhang Xi back to the temple, and was ordered to go to the Zhangjia Courtyard in Showa-ri.

Hu Yue accompanied Zhang Xi to turn around and go back to the temple, and asked: "Little lady, Lantai Pavilion is the yamen of the imperial court, can the little lady go?" ”

"I can't!"

When Hu Yue heard this, she immediately said anxiously: "Why did the little lady agree to bring the little monk over with a clear space?" ”

Zhang Xi lowered his head and stepped on the bluestone slab intently, and every step was separated by a bluestone slab, "I can't, but my brother can." After speaking, he glanced at Hu Yue, "Eminem, don't worry, I won't go over in person." ”

Although in that life, she had sneaked in, speaking of which, she also had experience, but at the moment, she was reluctant to go out of the mountain gate of Yaoguang Temple, once she went out, it was very likely that she would see Aya.

She didn't want to see Aya just yet.

It should be said that she didn't know how to face Aya.

This time, A-Niang was sick like this, but Aya didn't come to visit A-Niang, she was angry in her heart, but as a child, she couldn't hold grudges, let alone put aside the relationship between Aya and A-Niang.

Therefore, she can only avoid it.

She also saw that Aya would not come to Yaoguang Temple now, she was rare, she didn't go anywhere, and stayed in Yaoguang Temple every day.

"I'm back."

"Auntie." Zhang Xi raised a smile and shouted.

Hua Lingyi stepped forward, reached out and gently pinched her little daughter's face, "The flesh on the face has grown back." "A while ago, because she had been sick, not only did she lose weight, but her little daughter also lost weight, and her originally round face was as thin as an awl.

Later, Liu Yu woke up with some words, and when he found out about the changes in his little daughter, he regretted it in his heart.

woke up from all thoughts, and the first thought was to fatten my little daughter.

Fortunately, the youngest daughter has been strong since she was a child, and she will soon be raised back.

"What do you think? It's like a little adult. Hua Lingyi asked, and led her little daughter into the house, where a large candle had been lit, illuminating the hall as bright as day.

"I want to be a brother." Zhang Xi opened his mouth and said, "Auntie, Brother hasn't been to the temple for several days. ”

"Your brother came here last time, he has been very busy recently, and he is very late every day, so he will not come over until the rest of the day."

"A-Niang, I'll ask Cen Fumu to go to the other courtyard to see if Brother A's is in the other courtyard, if so, I'll look for him later."

As soon as she heard this, Hua Lingyi absolutely didn't believe that her youngest daughter was thinking about her brother, "Ah Yan, are you looking for your brother?" Although the tone was asking, it was a little determined.

Zhang Xi didn't want to hide it from A-Niang, knelt down, climbed A-Niang's shoulder, and praised with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from A-Niang." ”

Hua Lingyi reached out and gently scraped the bridge of her little daughter's nose, but she didn't ask much.

When Cen Fumu came back, he replied that Qilangjun had not returned to the house yet, but He Shan mentioned again that Qilangjun had been back to the other courtyard every night recently, but he came back a little late.

"Then I'll go to the other courtyard and wait for my brother." Zhang Xi begged A-Niang.

"What's going on? Can't you wait for your brother to come over on a day off? ”

"Can't wait." Zhang Xi said coquettishly: "Auntie, it's something I promised others." ”

Hua Lingyi looked at her little daughter suspiciously, "Did you promise the little monk to clear the air?" These days, except for the little monk of the clear space, my daughter has not seen anyone else.

Zhang Xi nodded heavily, took A-Niang's hand and shook it: "Yes, when it's done, I'll talk to A-Niang again." ”

Hua Lingyi was dazzled by her daughter, so she had to agree, "If you go over, you will stay in the courtyard for one night tonight, don't come back, toss back and forth." ”

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow morning." Zhang Xi got up happily.

Hua Lingyi instructed Hu Yue to clean up the toiletries and clothes, and then asked Cen Fumu and Hu Yue to follow together.

——*——*——

Zhang Xi's luck was very good, as soon as he entered the other courtyard, the eldest brother Zhang Xin came back.

When Zhang Xi heard the news, he didn't expect that there were outsiders present.

"Ah Yan, why are you here, not in the temple?" Zhang Xin was very surprised when he saw his little sister.

"Brother," Zhang Xi shouted, and saluted Fang Yi again, "Fang Family Langjun." ”

Fang agreed, crossed his waist and smiled: "Don't be so polite, I'm older than you, you can also call me brother." "Such a young lady is saluting him, and he is not used to it.

When Zhang Xi heard this, he carefully looked at the Fang family's Xiaolangjun in front of him.

Dressed in red, flamboyant and wanton, she looks like a good woman, but her eyebrows and eyes are a little sharp and aggressive, Zhang Xi unconsciously remembered the competition in the teahouse, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Bow your head, not wanting to answer the words of the party.

Fortunately, Fang Yi just said it casually, didn't take it to heart, and said something else to Zhang Xin.

“…… Listening to Liu Ziming, Ah Yu didn't have a month and couldn't get out of bed. ”

Liu Ziming, that is, Liu Gong, said this, and did not forget to sigh, "I have found that the fathers of several of you, one is more ruthless than the other, saying that Lao Tzu beats his son, but he is more deadly than my Aya beating his subordinates." ”

"Looking at your miserable condition, I feel that I am merciful." Fang Yi touched the newly grown stubble on his chin and teased.

"Okay, it's not early, take the medicine and leave quickly."

Zhang Xin glanced at the little sister Zhang Xi who was sitting quietly on the side, took the two boxes of plasters handed over by Zhang Man, put them in front of Fang Yi, and advised: "This ointment, you let Ziming send it over, don't go to Lufu to touch the nails again." ”

Lu Wei was beaten by his son, and Fang Yi went to visit Lu Mansion and drove Lu Yu's father Lu Zhizhi out.

Therefore, Fang Yi's thoughts are quite big.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, I won't go over." Although Fang Yi said this, he reached out and picked up the plaster for the treatment of the stick wound.

When Zhang Xin saw it, he was relieved, at least he didn't really hold a grudge, and he came to him for Lu Wei to ask for plasters, so he personally sent Fang Yi out.

turned around and saw that the little sister Zhang Xi was still there.

"What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Xi was brushing the fat hair in his arms, and when he saw the eldest brother coming in, he hurriedly replied: "Qingkong wants to enter Lantai Pavilion, I want to ask my brother to take him in." ”

"Nope." Zhang Xin didn't think about it, so he refused.

"But I promised him."

Hearing this, Zhang Xin glanced at his little sister helplessly, "You are Lantai Pavilion, it is your study, just agree, since you agree, then you can take him there." ”

Zhang Xi was not stupid enough to argue with the eldest brother, but begged directly: "Brother, you have to help me." ”

"I can't help."

"Then I'll tell Ah Niang, you went to race horses with people a few days ago."

Zhang Xin just took a sip of cheese, almost squirted it out, coughed sharply a few times, and choked his face red, "Zhang Xi, who gave you the guts, are you lawless?" ”

Since that year at the Kodai Pond race, he broke his arm.

Ah Niang will no longer allow him to race horses with others.

"A-Niang gave it."

Zhang Xi said proudly, in this life, the eldest brother is a paper tiger in her eyes, after a few years of getting along, she has long lost the fear of the eldest brother in that life, and even the prestige formed in more than ten years is gradually fading, "Give me a word of accuracy, can you help or not?" ”

Seeing Zhang Xi's villainous appearance, Zhang Xin only felt that it was extremely eye-catching.

This girl, who has grown to be five years old, does not say anything else, but she has a good reputation.

He didn't doubt it at all, if he didn't agree today, Ming'er A-Niang would definitely know the news, he would have to be scolded, and besides, looking at her appearance, even if he didn't agree, she would think of other ways to bring the clear space into Lantai Pavilion.

I don't know what will happen.

Zhang Xin was helpless, and reached out to flick Zhang Xi's forehead, "Help, I can't help." ”
