When Zhou Jinxuan left, he was carried onto the chariot and passed through the white jade steps, where Shi Daode was still kneeling.

is still middle-aged, his temples are already white, under the sun, it looks like two clusters of snow, and his curved back is like a dilapidated bridge, compared with the middle-aged Zhou Jinxuan in his prime, it is really a world of difference.

The chariot stopped beside Shi Daodao, and Zhou Jinxuan was helped down.

"It's useless, it's useless for you to kneel here." Zhou Jinxuan said coldly, "If you don't change your mistakes, you rely on the old and sell the old, do you think you can win sympathy by selling miserably?" Today's saint is a wise man. ”

Shi Daode raised his head slowly, Zhou Jinxuan was so high that Shi Daode couldn't see it clearly when he looked up, "Wu Guogong, you are now a powerful minister, and you won't understand the crisis of our old ministers." But one day, you will also become an old minister, just like us, in order to keep the glory of the past, and even kneel here. I know it's useless, but I still kneel here. ”

Zhou Jinxuan looked stunned, "There won't be that day, because I'm different from you." ”

"Really?" Shi Daode let out a hoarse laugh, "I only know that there is only one ending for the ministers, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden." ”

Zhou Jinxuan smiled: "You may be right, but what you can't deny is that there are exceptions to everything." ”

"Then let's wait and see." Shi Daode continued to bow his head.

Zhou Jinxuan shook his head, he just said a few words along the way, he didn't ask to change anyone, the most difficult thing in this world was to change other people's minds.

The dust kicked up, and I almost lost my eyes. Shi Daode saw a little sunlight reflected on Zhou Jinxuan's black boots, and gradually disappeared.

Wu Guogong's Mansion, the moonlight is miserable.

Just after the fifteenth, the moon was still as big and bright as a copper plate, and it was embedded in the sky.

Zhou Zheng combed a green cloud bun on his head, wore a duck-yellow Luo clothes, embroidered with a bamboo leaf pattern on the clothes, and the lower half of his body was a hundred butterflies wearing a flower hookah skirt, sitting in front of the window, muttering: "Super brother, where are you?" Who is Amun? Why don't you come and tell me? ”

It's just that Zhou Zhengzheng didn't know that Lin Zhongchao had returned to the imperial capital with the help of eight wolves.

The night breeze was like a knife, cutting on the face, as if cutting the heart, Lin Zhongchao hugged every wolf, tears flowed out, "Thank you for sending you all the way, take care." ”

The wolves threw up their heads and howled in desolation.

Lin Zhongchao choked up and said: "This is Jiangnan, you have to go back quickly at night and take the road of the mountains, so as not to be hunted down." Lin Zhongchao deliberately followed the wolves to the most remote mountain road so that he would not run into hunters when the wolves went back.

The mountain trail is naturally dangerous for people, but in this case, the return journey of the wolves will be safe.

Hunters don't dare to go to such a remote mountain road, and the bandits dare to go, but the bandits don't dare to attack the wolves.

Lin Zhongchao also remembered the favor of the wolves, so he did his best not to let the wolves sacrifice.

The wolves are gone.

The moonlight stretched their backs long, long.

They didn't look back.

Lin Zhongchao stared at them until they disappeared.

The wolf will not look back unless necessary.

After so many days of companionship, Lin Zhongchao felt that he had integrated into a lot of wolf nature, as if he had been reborn.

Turning back, the gate of the imperial capital was immersed in the moonlight, and the tall copper ring was as large and round as a cow's chew.

Lin Zhongchao stuck his sword into the dirt, sat down, and didn't sleep all night, waiting for dawn.

When the day is daybreak, the gates will be opened.

Palace.

It was late at night, and Shi Daode was still kneeling there.

Lin Ran asked the eunuch to bring food to Shi Daodao, but Shi Daodao didn't eat it, obviously forcing the rhythm of the palace.

Lin Ran finally compromised, and in the middle of the night, the kind-hearted Lin Ran came over yawning, and the eunuch shone the orange light of the lantern in front of the feet of the Son of Heaven.

The whole palace was so quiet that only the wind sounded. Several palace lamps were blown by the wind, and the dappled light hit Shi Daodao's pale face, which looked like ghosts from a distance.

"Shi Daodao, what do you want?" Lin Ran shouted, "You didn't force me to agree to your conditions with death, did you?" ”

For Shi Daodao, it was Shi Daodao's proposal to compete with the emperor, if he was defeated and it would be difficult to gather people's hearts in the future, then Shi Daodao's hard work for so long would be in vain.

Shi Daode has gathered old ministers to come to the house many times, just to maintain the status of the historian forever.

Only by winning can Shi Daode gather the ministers again and help Lin Junsheng.

Therefore, Shi Daode did kneel with a mortal heart.

Lin Ran saw Shi Daodao's white hair before he grew old, and his heart softened, "What do you want, say it, don't go too far!" ”

Shi Daode said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen just begs not to depose us old ministers!" Give Wenchen the same status as the general! ”

Lin Ran was furious, "Wenchen has merit, I will naturally reward him." If the generals are wrong, I will also be deposed. When did I become unfair to the civil and military? ”

Shi Daodao's back straightened, making himself appear more confident, "After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he lowered the salary of the civil ministers several times, but increased the salary of the military generals, isn't it fair?" ”

Lin Ran pointed to Shi Daodao's nose and said: "I just lowered the idle civil servants and ministers, those who are conscientious, I have a reward, where am I wrong?" As for the military generals, I sympathize with them to fight for the country, the original military generals' salaries were much lower than those of the same level of civil servants, I just adjusted the civil and military personnel of the same level to the same, you are unbelievable! Myths confuse me! ”

Shi Daode knocked his head crackled, "Surrender!" ”

Soon Shi Daodao's forehead saw blood, imprinted on the white jade steps.

Lin Ran asked the eunuch to stop him immediately.

"Shi Daodao, I promise you that I will not depose those civil servants first, but you can no longer seek personal interests and fill your pockets." Lin Ran compromised, and finally couldn't bear to let an old minister die in front of him.

The blood stains on Shi Daodao's forehead were clear in the moonlight, "But what if Zhou Jinxuan doesn't agree?" ”

"Zhou Aiqing is loyal and selfless, what I promise, Zhou Aiqing will not agree." Lin Ran said, "Don't worry, but if there is a next time, I will directly behead you to show the public!" ”

Shi Daode was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Lin Ran brushed his sleeves away.

The eunuch Xiao Yu'er said: "Your Majesty, Wu Guogong and his son have gone to great lengths to depose those scourges, if the emperor lets them go in private, I am afraid that Wu Guogong will not be convinced." ”

Lin Ran said: "They are their own people with me, and they will definitely understand that I am also for the overall situation." ”

The next day, Zhou Jinxuan heard about it early in the morning, and hurriedly came to see Lin Ran, "Your Majesty, you will no longer depose those civil officials who have filled their pockets?" ”

Lin Ran put down the fold and said with a smile: "Jinxuan, you don't know how difficult that Shi Daode is. ”
