Wu Yan had a bad impression of the governor of Caoyun, thinking that this man was too deep in the city, or that he was a very intelligent man, worldly and sophisticated, good at performance, and hurting people invisibly. This kind of person, Wu Yan generally stays away, and if he encounters him, he is afraid that he will be defeated in a minute.

The scene of the early dynasty today is like a group of shots, flashing back and forth in her mind, she has always had doubts, these righteous and strict court officials, feudal officials, they keep saying that they care about the people, as if the people are the 'little girl' in their mouths.

However, historical materialism also points out that the mode of production of material life determines social, political, and spiritual life, and that if we look at the common people and court officials from a class point of view, the contradictions between them will inevitably arise from the game between different interests.

It can also be guessed from this that the purpose behind these court officials who claim to be the people may not stop there, but what are they for? And the Governor of Caoyun, what did he think?

So Wu Yan fell into deep thinking, just thinking for a long time, but found nothing. Hey, she sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, after all, she is just a cook, and she can't rise to the realm of a human thought teacher.

At this moment, she sat in the study of the Qianqing Palace, after the little black book case she used to do, she had been in a daze for a long time, fortunately the emperor was not there, otherwise she would be 'unjustifiably accused', the emperor is like this, there are always a few days a month, it is very annoying, fortunately, he and the beauties of the harem can take care of him gently, and by the way, he will extinguish the fire.

Wu Yan knew that Emperor Yongming had gone to Concubine Qian Zhao again, so he didn't know what the master of the Yikun Palace, that is, the imperial concubine, who was separated from the Chuxiu Palace by a wall, would think?

In fact, the imperial concubine Wu is her aunt, and the emperor is strictly speaking her uncle. However, Wu Yan didn't dare to gossip about these things in the harem, and he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason, so it was best to keep his mouth shut.

Wu Yan sat for a long time, and finally decided to end her cranky thoughts, or find someone to answer her doubts, so she chose to leave the palace......

The person had arrived at the Donghua Gate, but he encountered a small fire in a hurry. Wu Yan was a little surprised to see him running profusely and sweating, so he asked, "Why are you in a hurry?" ”

When Xiaohuo saw that it was her, he hurriedly ran over, and said mysteriously: "I was saying that I was going to find Sizhen, but I heard just now that there seems to be an accident in the General Administration!" ”

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say casually: "Xiaohuo, why are you so mysterious?" ”

Belch...... Xiaohuo didn't know how to answer.

Wu Yan said again: "Also, what can happen to the General Administration?" ”

I have never heard that the General Administration Department can still have an accident, even if you beat the drum, you will not be in the General Administration Department.

"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard that even the people from the Xicheng Terracotta Division have been dispatched."

At this time, Wu Yan was even more confused, frowned and asked again: "This is even more wrong, next to the General Administration Department is the Jinyi Guard, why do the Soldiers and Horses Division still have to be dispatched?" Who would dare to make trouble under the nose of Jinyiwei? ”

"Uh......" Xiaohuo was asked again, and only said: "I heard that it is a group of people who came from nowhere, and there are quite a few people." ”

"People?" Chang Wu Yan was stunned, but instantly remembered the last words of the Cao Du in the early days of this morning......

Several thoughts immediately flashed through her mind, and suddenly, she sighed, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly said to Xiaohuo: "Xiaohuo, you immediately rush to Jia Ge Hutong, find the people from the newspaper, and ask them to hurry up to the General Administration." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "No, no, no, you are going too far like this, I'm afraid it's too late to ......."

"The little ones can call a carriage," Xiaohuo replied.

"Oh, yes, there's a public carriage!" Wu Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a handful of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Xiaohuo's hand: "Hurry up and call a car, the cost is mine." ”

Xiaohuo didn't shirk it, took the broken silver and said, "Okay, the little one knows what to do." ”

Xiaohuo left in a hurry, Wu Yan stood in place and thought for a moment, thinking that he might as well go to the General Administration Department to have a look, but he had to go home and change his clothes first. After she made up her mind, she quickly left Donghuamen, and when she left Dong'anmen, she also called a carriage and rushed to the Jinyin Hutong next to the Ten Princes' Mansion.

Wu Yan had already purchased two small houses in the capital before entering Beijing, which was also a coincidence, and the price was very suitable, which was equivalent to picking up a big bargain, and now the housing prices in the capital have already risen again.

The innermost part of Jinyin Hutong is her house, which is a courtyard with two entrances, which was still dilapidated when it was bought, and it still looks like a courtyard after being renovated. The front yard is where Uncle Zhang and her two apprentices, Xiao Dong and Ah Yu live, and the backyard is Wu Yan's residence, as well as Mama and her personal maid, Ai Youwei live together.

There are not many people living there, so it is very spacious, and even if a few people are added later, it is big enough. Wu Yan is now in the palace most of the time and rarely comes back, and Mama and her two apprentices are also very busy, so the huge house is often quiet, as if no one is there.

Wu Yan arrived at the door of the house, got out of the car and sent the coachman, and hurriedly walked to the house. The door was open, Uncle Zhang happened to be at the door, Wu Yan didn't have time to greet him, so he only hurriedly said a few words and went straight to the back house. Uncle Zhang was also shocked, and it took him half a day to figure out what she was going to do.

When I arrived at the back house, it was like a gust of wind blowing, inside and out, like flower petals falling and colorful, and the people under them only saw a gust of wind whistling by, and then their hair was flying, and they didn't know what happened.

Ai Youwei was also confused by Wu Que who came back suddenly, seeing that she was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and picking and choosing...... Girl, what are you doing?

Wu Yan finally picked out a robe to change into, and out of nowhere, he took out a scarf and tied it on his head, and it was not easy to straighten it out, thanks to Ai Youwei's help.

Nowadays, it is popular to change men's robes to be worn after being smaller, and then wearing a scarf on their heads, in fact, regardless of whether they are women or girls, they like this. At first, it was only popular in the Jiangnan area, but now it is also popular for women in Beijing to dress like this, although it is a men's style, it does not deliberately hide the characteristics of women, and there are many changes, and it is not limited to the stereotypical image of men's clothing. In fact, this is quite good-looking, at least Wu Yan likes to wear it like this.

Ai Youwei took the time to ask, "Girl, are you going here?" ”

Wu Yan didn't care to explain to her, but just muttered, Ai Youwei didn't understand, and wanted to ask clearly, but found that Wu Yan had already stepped out of the courtyard. Outside the gate, Uncle Zhang was waiting here in a carriage.

Out of the gate, Wu Yan quickly jumped into the carriage again, and then Uncle Zhang shouted, and the carriage drove out of the alley.

Walk is half of the river street to the east Chang'an Street, through the left gate of Chang'an, the right gate of Chang'an will reach the west of the Qianbu Corridor of the five offices, in addition to the five mansions there are Taichang Temple, the General Administration and the Jinyi Wei Yamen, all located here.

Wu Yan didn't see the people from the Terracotta Division mentioned by Xiaohuo all the way, and when he arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered outside the General Administration, but there were a few people who looked like the Terracotta Division standing not far away. Among the people gathered, there were some residents of good deeds, as well as many officials of other yamen, big and small, and even many people from various newspapers in the capital were mixed in, including the 'reporters' of the "Beishang Daily".

Uncle Zhang parked the carriage on the side of the cross street not far away, and she looked out from the inside.

Many newspapers in the capital, such as the provincial Titang newspaper offices and all kinds of Beijing newspaper offices, are very familiar with the General Administration Department, and the imperial court newspaper is issued to the six sections, and then copied by the Titang officials. However, the functions of the General Administration Department are not limited to this, and all the subjects of the Quartet should report the situation to the truth, make suggestions, appeal wrongs or report illegal matters, etc., and the General Administration Department must clearly write the reasons in the registration book, and then bring the report to the report...... This is the function of communicating the lower feelings.

Wu Yan saw that there was indeed a group of people who looked like ordinary people outside the door of the General Political Division, about 30 men, women, and children, and that the General Political Secretary had already come out to receive them. At the head of the crowd was an old man, who was prostrating himself to the court, and although he could not hear what he said, just looking at his lean body and thick limbs, he looked like a long-term coolie.

Senator Zuo took the form he presented in his hand, scanned it slightly, folded it again, and said a few words to him after listening to his presentation, as if he was comforting and replying. Then the group of people kowtowed to the ground again, with both anxiety and gratitude in their expressions, and even women and children were bowing their heads and sobbing. It seems that only in this way can their future lives be guaranteed.

Wu Yan sat in the car, quietly paying attention to everything that was happening outside, but the expression on her face became more and more solemn, she vaguely guessed where this group of people came from and the purpose of coming to Yique.

After a while, she sighed, this sigh seemed both helpless and angry. Helplessly, this group of people are all hard-working people, if the expectation is good, they are from the bottom of Caoyun Caogong and Caomin.

And angrily, it was against such a big official as the governor of Caoyun. A feudal official of the third grade, with boundless power in his hands, but brought a group of hard-working people to the capital to appeal? This sounds like a fantasy.

Cao Gong entered Beijing to ask for a ban on land transportation and protect the interests of Cao Yun, but this is the darkest thing in his heart to hide and beautify it as a people's request? This is not to coerce public opinion for one's own benefit, what is it!

You don't have to guess where the upcoming public opinion will lead, and this wave of public opinion is very likely to last for a long time until a court meeting is held. Wu Yan was an Internet celebrity in later generations, and he was well versed in the pressure brought by public opinion, and the so-called three people became tigers, even if the emperor was high, it was impossible to completely ignore it.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was also a relatively relaxed dynasty, and the courtiers could openly criticize the emperor, not to mention Yique? This is the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

can think of using public opinion to achieve the goal, this Caoyun Governor is not simple!

Wu Yan felt that she was in a bad mood, and the many uncertainties in the future made her feel confused, and even wanted to retreat. At this time, she completely lost the momentum that she had when she beat the drums in Yingtian last year.

At the end, she ordered Uncle Zhang: "Let's go......"

When Uncle Zhang heard her words, he thought for a while, and then asked, "Where does the girl want to go?" ”

Where to go? For Wu Yan, this is another seemingly simple but difficult problem to do, and she wants to go back to where she once came......

At this time, she only felt melancholy, but she couldn't solve it, so she could only say: "Go to Guanghe Building." ”
