"In the second year of Taixing, winter covered the spring solstice, and the spring was sacrificed in Shangyuan...... The edict said: Give the great Situ Wang guide, the head of the ox of the three animals, and the jade crown belt...... Go up to the temple and meet the ......"

After Sima Shao read the lengthy edict aloud, there were attendants holding wooden boxes containing ox heads, jade crowns and other things, and walked silently in a string. Wearing the upper hall, to see the honor of not lying down is second only to the sword on the temple, although the people around the circle are slightly shocked but not in an uproar, the former Jin room was first built, Sima Rui invited Wang Dao to sit on the same bed, saying that he would rule the world together, and Wang Dao refused.

Wang Daomian faced the direction of the Jin Palace, made a long head, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, don't be edicted." ”

Sima Shao was slightly stunned, supported Wang Dao with both hands, looked at Wang Dao who was slightly tired with his eyebrows, and said admittedly and respectfully: "The public is the example of the world, serving the country wholeheartedly, and living in the importance of auxiliary government, why not accept it?" ”

"However, Da Situ is really in charge of Yiwu, how can he repeatedly refuse?" The onlookers also persuaded one after another.

Wang Dao swept over the crowd with his eyes, straightened the crown on the top, brushed his drooping sleeves, and said loudly: "Your Highness, the minister has said in the past, so that the sun and all things shine together, how can the minister look up?" ”

"Thinking about it publicly, we should put the world first."

Sima Shao persuaded again, and everyone followed the persuasion, but Wang Dao never accepted it. Sima Shao's face was quite helpless, Wang Dao glanced at Sima Shao, accepted the head of the ox, but did not look at the jade belt with a crown of flowers.

After a while, Sima Shao took out a letter from his arms and said with a smile: "My father knew that the emperor was going to resign, so there was another letter." ”

Director Wang took the letter, glanced at it hurriedly, and caged it in his sleeve.

The letter is written by Sima Rui, and the four words on the envelope: Zhong's father Qi.

Wang Dao invited Sima Shao into the house, after a while, Sima Shao left the house, seeing that the crowd had not dispersed, he bowed his head slightly to Ji Zhan, Ji Zhan returned the gift, and Sima Shao boarded the ox cart and left in a hurry.

Later, a door came with him, and Ji Zhan was invited to enter.

Danyang Yin Yinrong asked, "Can we also come in to see you?" ”

The door said lightly: "Da Situ is seriously ill and can't see guests, please forgive me." ”

Yin Rong's eyebrows twitched, and he was about to speak, but he was pulled by his friend Cai Mo. Cai Mo said in a low voice: "Since Da Situ is seriously ill, how can you and I disturb it again." After speaking, seeing that Yin Rong still seemed to be unintelligible, he had to sigh: "The meaning is already clear, why do you need to enter?" As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows in the direction of the Jin Palace. Yin Rong looked at it and sighed softly: "However, its momentum is so great that it is like a torrent, and a gentleman can't do it." ”

Ji Zhan strode into the mansion, Wang Dao changed into a wide robe, as if he had just cleaned his face, exhausted, and was sitting on the reed mat drinking tea and reading words.

Wang Xizhi sat crookedly, his eyes glanced outside the moon cave from time to time, where there was a clear pool, the white goose floated in the still water, and the red anthurium pulled out the clear waves.

Seeing Ji Zhan stepping into the moon cave, Director Wang stood up, hurriedly greeted a few steps, waved his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "Lao Siyuan has been a long time, Director Wang is ashamed!" Siyuan came to taste this tea, the taste is different, but boil a pot, all kinds of disputes are scattered. ”

Ji Zhan sat down and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of tea it is, but I actually taught the prince to praise it so much?" He picked up the tea bowl on the desk and sniffed it, but he felt that the slightest fragrance lingered, and the corners of his mouth cracked slightly.

Director Wang took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and savored the sweetness, and then asked the absent-minded Wang Xizhi: "What is the name of this tea?" ”

Wang Xizhi said: "Longjing." ”

Director Wang asked again: "Where did it come from?" ”

Before Wang Xizhi could answer, Ji Zhan smiled and said, "It should be produced by the Liu family of Huating." Ji'er pointed to the tea utensils on the case and said: "This set of glaze should also come from Huating." ”

"Huating? Huating Liu's ......"

Director Wang narrowed his eyes into a knife line, thought about it carefully, and felt that this name was quite familiar, but he never remembered it, and when he saw Wang Xizhi with his eyes closed, he reached out and gently buckled the low case, and said angrily: "How can you be so lazy to sit at the same table with the elder." ”

Wang Xizhi smiled lazily, pressed his knees and slowly walked towards the goose pond, saying as he walked: "Uncle's heart is not in the tea, Ji Weng's intention is not in the words, Xizhi is faint and clear, who sleeps and wakes up?" ”

The voice was light, the green shirt swayed, and he turned out of the moon cave and disappeared.

Ji Zhan stroked his silver beard and praised sincerely: "Yi Shao is really a handsome man, just like a light cloud and a closed moon, like a swimming dragon." It's a pity that I have no children and no daughters, otherwise, I will definitely choose to be a wife. ”

Director Wang said with a smile: "Thinking far away from praise, Director Wang is not in the tea, so he abandons it." As he spoke, he slowly put the tea bowl on the corner and looked at Ji Zhan with a smile.

Ji Zhan greeted Director Wang, held his beard, and said with a smile: "Yes, what you say is not casual, what you say!" Prince, Ji Zhan came today, but for the sake of the earth. ”

Since the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, Wang Dao has twice implemented the soil break, but nothing has been achieved. And the original intention of this soil break was only to calm the crisis caused by Diao Xie and Liu Kui, but after Ji Zhan's careful scrutiny, he was shocked by the content. In the past, most of the land was broken by borrowing shade households, official and private fields to make articles, checking the shade households to release the people, and filling the private fields into the treasury.

This time the land was broken, but it was not, avoiding shady households, officials, and private fields, starting from the world's register, and hiding people's eyes and ears. After sorting out the Jiangdong scholars, they will use the yellow and white books to check the households and measure the people's fields.

If you follow this method, the threads are interlocked, and it is difficult to see the effect in a short period of time, but if you can persevere in balance, it will be a canon of the Zhenggang Purge.

Is this strategy really from Xie Pei?

Ji Zhan once sent a letter to Xie Pei to inquire about the secrets, but Xie Pei was unexpectedly wrong. Ji Zhan was suspicious and secretly thought: Or, Xie Pei did it unintentionally, very good, since it was unintentional, I should follow the trend.

And Ji Zhan came to Wang Dao this time, it was to sort out the matter for the Wu County scholars, this time the land is not divided into southerners and northerners, since the five horses crossed to the south, Wu people are only Wu County horses. Wu people act, but looking at Wu County, the land of Wu County, there are Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang. For the sake of stability, Sima Rui and Wang Dao implemented a pacification policy, and the Wu people have governed Wu for more than ten years.

After listening to Ji Zhan's words, Director Wang pondered for a long time and said: "Wu Jun Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang have four surnames, Lu, and the Lu family is in service but not in order, and the Zhu family only knows the landscape and Goma, and the Zhang family is weak and weak. The Jin family has only the Gu family to rely on, and now the Gu family has led the clan by Gu Rong since Gu Rong's death, but the horse commander will not stoop down. ”

Ji Zhan said: "However, if you want to practice the law smoothly, the land of Wu County needs to be led by the people of Wu County, why not choose talents?" ”

Director Wang squinted his eyes and asked, "Who?" ”

Ji Zhan said with a smile: "The Gu family has a son, Gu He, the word Jun is filial, it is enough to be a wonderful jade unicorn, and the chest is hidden in the hills and ravines." ”

"It was this son...... Director Wang smiled slightly, and said in a refreshing voice: "Siyuan has a good vision, Director Wang is on the table, and this son is Situ Peng, the chariot and cavalry join the army, and the commander of the army, and he will help Siyuan!" ”

An hour later.

Ji Zhan said goodbye to Wang Dao and returned to the mansion, took off a thick brocade, wore a wide robe in the room, and cooked Longjing.

"Plop Plop ......"

The boiling soup has been boiled, the tea is thrown into the pot, the fragrance is overflowing in the room, pour the cup and drink, squint your eyes and savor it. After a long time, he opened his eyes and sighed: "Compared with Zhan Zhen's tea, it is still inferior." ”

Then the steward's attendant came outside.

Ji Zhan ordered to enter, while sipping tea, and asked casually: "Have you checked it?" ”

The steward said: "Back to the head of the family, because the years have been long, I only verified it today, and I hope that the master of the family will forgive the sins." ”

"Speak!" Ji Zhan raised his eyebrows.

The steward said: "Six years ago, a loyal servant fled south with orphans and widows to Jiankang and temporarily lived in a villa on the outskirts of the city. The lord of the wild villa is a merchant, greedy for the widow's beautiful **** play, the young child was furious, and ordered the servant to be scepter, but the merchant died after returning. After a pause, seeing that the head of the family did not speak, he said: "There is still an inside story, at that time, the brother of the Yeshu merchant conspired with Zhang Fang, then the Cheng of Shicheng County, to seize his brother's property, so he took advantage of the situation to kill his brother and planted trouble on the child's ......."

I see......

Ji Zhan put the tea bowl aside, after thinking about it, his heart was stunned, and when the steward retreated, he muttered: "Zhan Zhen, it's not easy to ......" took out the letter in the sleeve cage, read it carefully, attached a torch to the lamp, called the steward outside the door in, handed over a thick roll of paper, and said in a deep voice: "You will immediately set off for Wu County, and hand over this volume to Gu Junxiao......

……

Shangyuan Festival, Wu County Zhang's Zhang Lantern Festival is red.

Zhang Cheng sat at the back of the desk.

In front of the case, the beautiful and enchanting Yan Ji was dancing, and there was a person crawling in a corner of the room.

Yan Ji's waist is as thin as catkins, and her eyes are light blue, which is Xianbei Ji. Xianbei Ji is good at singing and dancing, and her smile and smile are full of souls. Gradually, the Yan Ji danced faster and faster, skillfully and skillfully, and became a pink butterfly. Taking advantage of the situation, he rotated his delicate body to the side of the case, panted slightly, spit out pandan, grabbed a glass of wine, took a shallow sip, dyed the cup with a vermilion seal, and his cheeks were slightly bulging, and he murmured: "Lang Jun, can you drink the wine of the concubine?" ”

Zhang Cheng was happy, but he didn't like the previous color, secretly pinched a handful of cotton bombs, coughed dryly, and nodded to the entourage outside. The retinue knew it, walked in with his head down, and said to Yan Ji, "Come with me." ”

Yan Ji looked at the prostrate figure in the corner of the room, twisting the waist of the water snake and walking away slowly.

The dark fragrance still exists, the skirt breeze is slightly cool, Zhang Cheng grabbed the wine glass on the case, drank a cup of Zhu Yin Cup, and said indifferently: "This Ji, how much is it worth?" Later, go and collect the money. ”

The prostrate man raised his head and said with a flattering smile: "Being able to enter the eyes of Zhang Juncheng is the blessing of the villain, how can you talk about the things that are blocked?" ”

"Huh...... Do you also know what is blocked? ”

Zhang Cheng smiled coldly, slammed the wine glass, didn't look at the kneeling person on the ground, strode out, and said in a cold voice: "Look for your master, in the future, don't come to Zhang's again." "In my heart, I said: The goods of pickled wine, and the things that are not as good as guinea dogs, if it weren't for Liu Xun's repeated entrustment to me, how would I teach you to step into the door of the Zhang family half a step......

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Zhang Cheng had already walked away, Zhang Fang still buckled his head, soybean-like sweat rolled out from his forehead, and his back was wet and unconscious. After a while, Zhang's steward came back, holding a few pieces of money in his hand, threw the money to the ground, crossed his waist, and said coldly: "Zhang Xiancheng, please." ”

Zhang Fang picked up the money, handed it to the steward, and said with a smile: "Please ask steward Zhang to drink." ”

The steward checked the money, took out one, handed it back to Zhang Fang, and said lightly: "In the eyes of the head of the family, you are three people." However, this is the benevolence of the head of the family, and you are a penny. ”

One penny...... A ......

Zhang Fang tightly dragged the five-plant coin, walked out of the vast Zhang manor dizzily, stood under the weeping willow and looked back, but saw that the Zhang steward was ordering someone to clean it, and it was his own footprints that were swept.

"Flutter ......", "Pu, Pu Pu......"

The copper coin in his hand rolled into the bluestone road and drilled into the cracks, Zhang Fang was stunned, squinted his eyes for a long time and did not speak...... (To be continued.) )
