"It's just that if you don't check the salary of the forbidden army, what will the foolish brother rely on to do the promotion level?" Zou Weijian said with a bitter face, originally working against the martial artists was his means of accumulating fame, but now that he doesn't have the idea of fighting the generals' jobs, what else can he rely on to accumulate fame?

"No, foolish brother, or go to the book to cut the domain?"

Shang Xuanli looked at him helplessly, but didn't speak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Brother Xian, what do you mean by this?" Zou Weijian asked with a depressed face.

Seeing that Zou Weijian was anxious, Shang Xuanli said slowly: "Brother Zou, don't you look at what years and months are you now?" Still engaged in accumulating fame? I'll tell you this, even if your reputation is admired all over the world, and you also worship the prime minister as you wish, and enter the political hall, I'm afraid you won't be able to be the prime minister for a few years! On the contrary, it is possible to put your life on the line! ”

Zou Weijian was taken aback by Shang Xuanli's words, but he didn't think that Shang Xuanli was alarmist, and immediately asked, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”

"Huh." Shang Xuanli smiled, but did not answer his question, but asked rhetorically: "Brother Zou, do you think the emperor doesn't want to cut the domain?" ”

"Uh, does the emperor want to?" Zou Weijian asked in disbelief.

Shang Xuanli pursed his lips slightly, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: The ability to figure out Shangyi is so poor, and he even has the idea of dominating the world all day long, you Zou Weijian has no self-knowledge, right?

But he definitely wouldn't say this to Zou Weijian, so he just nodded and said, "The emperor naturally wants to cut it." ”

"Then I have written several times to request the reduction of the feudal town, why did the emperor stay in the middle and not send it?" Zou asked puzzled.

Shang Xuanli said in a voice that only Zou Weijian could hear: "Because I don't dare." ”

"It can't be, right? The emperor doesn't dare to cut the domain?! Zou Weijian exclaimed in a low voice, what Shang Xuanli said was too unbelievable.

"Brother Zou, what am I lying to you for?" Shang Xuanli sneered, "Now it's not just the Jingshi Forbidden Army that is rotten, it can be said that almost all the armies in the world have rotted to the end, and only the four towns of Osan have a few thousand troops that can be called elite." ”

"You mean the thousands of private soldiers of the Qu family?!"

"Yes, the emperor didn't dare to cut the domain, just because Qu Yongchen had such a force in his hands, he was afraid that Qu Yongchen would be forced to hurry, this old man couldn't think of rebelling for a while, and the four towns of Wushan would no longer be owned by my Yun Dynasty! I'm afraid that a new Osan Empire is about to appear! ”

Zou Weijian immediately lowered his head and thought quickly, and only after a while did he say, "But it's not a way to drag on like this, right?" ”

Shang Xuanli glanced at Zou Weijian a little helplessly: "Brother Zou, it's all this time, can't you see it?" In the court, from the king to the sesame officials without rank, they are all messing around! ”

"This ......" Zou Weijian really didn't see it, there was no way, in addition to being an official fan, his eyesight was really not very good.

"So I advise Brother Zou that you should stop and stop! None of us can see what the future looks like, and the country's hard work is not something that can be changed by a few people! Our generation of scholars should sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, watch the changes of the wind and clouds, and wait for the opportunity to move! ”

"Alas!"

Zou Weijian sighed, if he wanted to say that the chaos of the world was also in his eyes, but he always had a fluke mentality before, and felt that the empire was extremely powerful, and those natural and man-made disasters were just small disasters, which were not at all insignificant, and they would soon be subsided, but at this time, Shang Xuanli, who had always been tricky and spicy, also said so, so he couldn't help but believe it.

"Brother Xian, is this world really hopeless?" After being silent for a long time, Zou Weijian asked a little unwillingly.

Shang Xuanli was also a little gloomy: "Heaven's will is like this, and it is beyond human power to recover." ”

Zou Weijian thought about it, isn't it providence? This natural disaster came suddenly without warning, and as soon as it came, it did not leave, and it lasted for almost three years.

In the end, Zou Weijian was persuaded by Shang Xuanli, in order to enliven the atmosphere, Zou Weijian talked about other topics, and the recent sensational Yu Xiaolong rebellion case naturally can't be missed!

At the beginning of the topic, Shang Xuanli said firmly: "Yu Xiaolong was wronged. ”

"This ...... How can I see it? Seeing that Shang Xuanli said so firmly, Zou Weijian couldn't help but be curious, "Even Dongfang Qinxin and his own son insisted that he rebelled, and his family also found the earth-shattering thunder and dragon robe, and he himself admitted it all, this evidence is already very conclusive, right?" ”

As the prefect of the Yushitai, Zou Weijian also participated in the three-hall trial of Xiaolong's father and son that day.

Shang Xuanli didn't answer his question directly, but asked, "Brother Zou, where did you say Yu Xiaolong's powerful position came from?" ”

Zou Weijian thought for a while and replied, "The emperor's favor." ”

Shang Xuanli applauded, and for the first time in his life, he sincerely applauded Zou Weijian: "Brother Zou is right!" ”

Zou Weijian smiled embarrassedly: "What does the virtuous brother mean is that because the power and position are all given by the emperor, it is impossible for Yu Xiaolong to betray the emperor?" ”

"That's right!" Shang Xuanli nodded, "Our civil officials are different from military ministers, we can't pick up our shoulders, we can't lift our hands, and most people can't tell the difference between grains, let alone dancing knives and guns, as the saying goes: Show talent rebellion, three years will not succeed!" This is the real truth! Therefore, even if people like us are all over the world and have power in the opposition, it is impossible for them to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne! And this is also the reason why the Tianxia family of the previous dynasty and the Yun family of this dynasty are willing to share the world with our scholars! Because our threat to the imperial power is much smaller than that of the warriors! ”

Although I have to admit that what Shang Xuanli said is the truth, Zou Weijian's face was still a little dark after hearing this, because didn't this clearly say that these scholars were incompetent?

Shang Xuanli looked at his expression and smiled, but continued disappreciably: "Yu Xiaolong is a smart person, he should understand this truth very well, how can he rebel like this?" Someone must have deliberately framed him! (Ahh Buchen sneezed inexplicably. ）”

"But who would frame Yu Xiaolong? Can he still drive his son and Dongfang Qinxin? Zou Weijian couldn't help but frown.

"I don't know about this, but the father and son of the Yu family have created a lot of debts over the years, and there are many people who want their lives." Shang Xuanli's smile was a little sinister.

This is the end of the topic of the Yu family's father and son's rebellion, and then Zou Weijian recruited a few girls with good looks, and the two did not discuss any more in-depth topics, but talked about Fengyue while drinking.

In the next two months, Zou Weijian did not jump again, whether it was to check the vacancies of the forbidden army or ask for the reduction of the Qu Domain, he did not mention it again, but only took some routine concerts, impeached some trivial sins of minor officials, and completed the homework of each month. (Chinese dynasties generally have a minimum requirement for the number of impeachments per month, and if they can't even reach the number of impeachments, they will judge that the imperial history is unqualified, so it is also jokingly called "homework" by the imperial historians.) Break the army press. ）

The reason why Zou Weijian is so honest is actually because all his thoughts are lost, after the conversation with Shang Xuanli, his whole life seems to have no pursuit, and the original idea of climbing up completely disappeared, which made him like a walking corpse.

On this day, after finishing the daily routine official duties of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Zou Weijian set off early to return home, and the other imperial historians in the Imperial Historical Observatory were already surprised, and did not ask, but they did not expect that the next day, they heard the news of Zou Weijian's assassination!

Zou Weijian was assassinated at home, a family of more than a dozen people, but he was the only one who died, and the others, including his wife, found out that he had been killed when they got up early the next day. The murderer killed him with great skill, and when he was asleep, he was stabbed in the heart and he was out, and from his serene countenance, there was no pain in his death.

The prefect of the Imperial Historical Observatory was assassinated, and this incident immediately caused an uproar in the Jingshi! Emperor Yun Chongming ordered the mobilization of famous detectives in Beijing to investigate in detail, but the detectives worked hard for several months, but they found nothing, so the assassination case has since become a mystery.

It's just that what Emperor Yun and his famous detectives don't know is that the day after Zou Weijian was assassinated, a mill built on Jiangxin Island outside the city of Jingshi suddenly changed owners, and the day after the new owner took over the mill, the original hydraulic equipment was dismantled and replaced with machinery produced in his own steel mill!

In late autumn, there was a bleak situation, Shang Xuanli came to Zou Weijian's tombstone with a bottle of wine, he poured out a glass of wine and slowly sprinkled it in the soil in front of the tombstone, and said faintly: "Brother Zou, I'll tell you a good news, I have probably found most of the people who killed you!" ”
