After a while, Xu Qian and the others had already arrived.

Mao Jihu glanced at Xu Qian casually, revealing a bit of ill intentions.

Yang Tinghe was calm, and when the three of them saluted, he smiled and said, "The matter, the old man is already clear, Xu Qian, what do you have to say." ”

This is the matter of the old fritters, a casual sentence, implying multiple meanings, on the one hand, it is to sue Xu Qian, don't want to deny it, the matter has been decided, and now I don't want to dwell on this side on this right or wrong. Then he threw the question directly to Xu Qian to see how he defended himself, or how he asked for punishment.

Ordinary people encounter such a thing, and now most of them have to obediently confess their sins and beg for mercy, Yang Tinghe wants this effect, a priest is nothing if he is beaten, Xu Qian is the star of tomorrow after all, he is the sixth Hanlin, now Xu Qian's future is in his own hands, how to deal with it is his final say, what he is waiting for now is Xu Qian's submission from spirit to top.

Xu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Since Yang Gong already knows the reason and process of the matter, how to deal with it is naturally up to Yang Gong to decide." ”

came just to throw Xu Qian into trouble, who knew that Xu Qian had finished the table tennis ball hard, Yang Tinghe sent the problem to Xu Qian, Xu Qian made a backshot, and hit it back.

How to deal with it, since you have the final say, and you also claim to know the cause and effect, then please ask Yang Gong to decide.

There is no problem with this sentence, this is a very common modest method in officialdom, you give me some face, I will salute back, everyone carries each other's sedan chairs. But today, this sentence is a bit confusing, and if you don't want to give you a chance to defend yourself, you're good. What, want to make hob meat? The handle is in the hands of others, and if you don't obey, you will get in touch with the person who controls your destiny.

Yang Tinghe has always been respected, and no one has been so presumptuous in front of him, and his old face suddenly pulled down, obviously he has changed his mind and has the intention of severe punishment.

Mao Ji seized the opportunity and smiled coldly. Said: "What a big breath, it's just that the new Hanlin is so arrogant, beating the priests, and setting up a private torture hall." Is this what Hallim should do? Yang Gong has repeatedly said to people, the official is not in learning, but in private morality, if there is virtue, then he must be a loyal and virtuous minister, a presumptuous person like you, the old man is the first time to see it. If you don't punish you severely, everyone will follow you, and everyone will follow you, will this be repaid? You have made a great mistake, but you have not repented. Now I shamelessly let Yang Gong deal with it, okay, then punish you severely. He said to Yang Tinghe: "Yang Gong, such an evil deed. It's really rare, you might as well let him go to Nanjing. Teach him to think about it. ”

Although Nanjing is the land of fireworks, it is also the grave of officialdom, once you are sent there, you will gradually be forgotten, on the surface you are still an official who eats Yulu, but in this life, it is difficult to have a bright future.

Mao Ji's mind is very simple, this surnamed Xu must go, not from the cabinet back to Hanlin, but from Beijing to Nanjing, completely burying this person's future, out of sight is pure.

Just a few words, Xu Qian knew the plan between the two bachelors, Yang Tinghe was still undecided, not because he was afraid of Xu Qian, but because Xu Qian's identity was sensitive, so he was only willing to beat for the time being, and even give a profound lesson. And Mao Ji is different, Mao Ji's purpose is very simple, that is, to directly trample Xu Qian to death, and the reason why he is so polite, if he wants to come to the Wang Si, he must have a lot to do with Mao Ji.

He smiled, and then said: "Bachelor Mao dislikes the lower officials so much, the lower officials never thought of it, but now that Yang Gong is here, Bachelor Mao seems to be a little noisy." ”

There is sarcasm in these words, Master Mao, you haven't even been a secondary assistant now, Yang Tinghe is here, it seems that it is not your turn to talk more.

To say that Mao Ji is higher than Xu Qian, I don't know how many grades higher, in his eyes, Xu Qian is not even as good as an ant, but ants actually dare to sarcastically mock him, which teaches him that he can't stand it, Mao Ji's eyes flashed a trace of murderous intent and was about to speak. But he heard Yang Tinghe say unhappily: "Xu Qian, you are so bold, who is Master Mao, and you dare to speak disrespectfully?" It seems that the old man has indeed connived at you, so that you are becoming more and more presumptuous, you have made a big mistake, and what Master Mao said just now also makes sense, and from now on ......"

He was about to directly give Xu Qian a 'verdict', at this time Yang Shen hurriedly said: "My lord, at this time, there is another strange cause and effect, it is really the Wang Priest who is bold and reckless, and he has caused trouble in advance, he is a small priest, arrogant, and has already provoked the anger and resentment of the people in the Imperial Hall, Xu Compilation This is also to clean up the atmosphere of the dark miasma in the Imperial Palace, and the lower officials think that what Xu Compilation has done, although it is excessive, is not arrogant, and as for the private punishment hall, it is even more nonsense. ”

Yang Shen suddenly came to such a sentence, which suddenly made Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji a little bit unturned, Yang Tinghe glanced at his son deeply, knowing that Yang Shen suddenly jumped out, it must not be because he had any friendship with Xu Qian, this matter still has an inside story, and looking at Yang Shen's meaning, he really can't deal with Xu Qian at the moment, otherwise with Yang Shen's temperament of not being able to rub sand in his eyes, where is Mao Ji jumping out and complaining.

It's just that behind Yang Shen's words, what is the deep meaning?

Yang Tinghe had a smile on his face, silently, and had already swallowed back the words of sending Xu Qian to Nanjing.

As for Mao Ji, he is even more calm, he is clear about the situation in the edict hall, Wang Si has been reporting to him, all kinds of signs show that Yang Shen has absolutely no good impression of Xu Qian, and even has some disgust, but it has only been a few hours, why has his attitude reversed?

Shoufu's son jumped out to fight with him, which made him suddenly feel a headache, singing the opposite, offending other people's sons will inevitably offend other people's Lao Tzu, he is now in the honeymoon period with Yang Tinghe, and Yang Ting and the old tree are entrenched, how can he provoke him, but Fang just let go of the cruel words, and now let him take it back, after all, he still can't save face.

Li Shi listened to Yang Shen's words, and also felt a little wrong, when he came to see the two bachelors Xingshi to ask for the guilt, he immediately dispelled the idea of selling Xu Qian, but Yang Shen said this, which made him feel a little sudden, because he knew best that the relationship between Yang Shen and Xu Qian was not good, and even when the two of them entered Yang Shen's room to talk together, there was a smell of gunpowder in and out of the words.

Thinking of this, Li Shi did not hesitate, and said with a smile: "Yes, although Xu Bian has only been here for two days, he is humble and sincere, and he is also polite to ordinary scribes......

He was 'righteous' enough, and he actually said a basket of good things about Xu Qian, as if he was asking for merit and reward.

In fact, Li Shi also understood that the two bachelors didn't like Xu Qian, but Yang Shen suddenly changed his mouth, which shocked the two students and made them a little unable to get off the stage, obviously everyone thought that Yang Shen was very meaningful, so he couldn't figure out whether he should clean up Xu Qian, after all, this cleaner must have a momentum to move forward bravely, so that you will be finished, never drag mud and water, and you can't have a pimple in your heart, so Li Shicai's kind words at this time are precisely to give Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji a step.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Yang Shen deeply, but he didn't insist on anything, smiled slightly, and said: "This matter, the old man will definitely see the details, Xu Qian, since your colleagues have good words for you, then the old man will wait for the matter to come to light, and then think about it in the long run, you must not be delusional, but you don't have to be frightened, you have to be guilty, as long as it is not your fault, the old man will naturally not embarrass you." ”

It's like playing Tai Chi, the fist is about to reach the tip of Xu Qian's nose, and the next moment it will break the bridge of Xu Qian's nose, but draw an arc in mid-air, and then retract the fist.

Xu Qian hurriedly said: "The lower officials are open in their hearts, if Yang Gong can investigate clearly, the lower officials can't ask for it." ”

He already understood in his heart that he would see clearly, but he would just talk to Yang Shen in private later, and after hearing Yang Shen's words, in the end it was nothing more than nothing, for the identity of a cabinet scholar, a secretary is really not worth mentioning, and naturally he will not look at it, not to mention that this secretary may also damage his reputation, so there is nothing to discuss.

Mao Ji sat silently, but Xu Qian clearly felt that a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Mao Ji's cultivation was far inferior to Yang Tinghe, and he could send and receive things freely like Yang Tinghe, and his heart was far worse.

Yang Tinghe waved his hand: "Let's go to our respective offices." ”

Everyone retired together, the three Hanlin came out of the cabinet room, and there were many words between each other, no matter what kind of intentions Li Shi's old fritters had, at least he pulled the 'brother', Xu Qian always had to say, said some words of thanks, Li Shi also gladly accepted, and said cordially: "This is nothing, you are a backward, you and I are both Hanlin, naturally we should help you, and there will be many things in the future, don't be reckless." ”

And Yang Shen's attitude towards Xu Qian is also better, maybe it is difficult for others to understand, Xu Qian pit Yang Shen, Yang Shen is actually a lot more kind to him, in fact, this matter is really broken, and it is also normal, in the past, Yang Shen did not put Xu Qian in his eyes, he is the second generation of the best official, and he is a famous test master in the Ming Dynasty, he has always been very arrogant, ordinary people hear the six songs, and they can't help but have some respect in their hearts, but he is different, but he thinks that Xu Qian is a shit luck, in short, he is lonely and self-appreciative, but he just doesn't take Xu Qian seriously, Therefore, in the past, when he saw Xu Qian, he nodded at most, and would deliberately keep his distance.

It's just that now, Xu Qian has proved with his actions that he is not worse than Yang Shen, and even more clever than Yang Shen, no matter what pimples Yang Shen has about Xu Qian in his heart, at least on the surface, he can't wait to ignore it, even if it is an enemy and an opponent, at least the usual politeness is indispensable.
