Wei Huai thus became the leader of the alliance. Of course, he didn't forget the two brothers at the same time, so he elected Yang and Xia as the deputy leaders of the literary world, thinking that they were his right-hand men.

Since then, the three of them have become stronger and stronger, and they have all worked tirelessly for the cause of reform, which no force can shake. As a result, in these days, they seem to be working together and diligently, and a total of 30 articles for the government and 19 articles for the adopters, all of which have benefited the people, and the Sihe Academy and the Guangsi Altar have become holy places in the eyes of the people.

A year has passed, and the momentum of Guangsi is no longer comparable to that of the past, and now even the government does not dare to offend easily. But just when this was in full swing, Xia Yuanlong was about to leave for a while.

"What is written in the letter?" Wei Huai saw Xia Yuanlong staring straight at the letter on the table, afraid of disturbing him, so he asked slowly.

"It's a matter of the family." Xia Yuanlong sighed bitterly, and then squatted there sullenly, opening his dull and blank eyes, stunned for a while.

"It doesn't seem to be a good thing......" Yang Huaisheng said in a low voice.

Xia Yuanlong then lay on the table and cried loudly.

Yang Huai wanted to comfort him, but Wei Huai stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't disturb him yet, let him cry for a while."

The two of them sat still, and even their mood was disturbed and depressed, and they looked at Yuanlong sadly.

In an instant, Xia Yuanlong stood up, wiped his tears, and his eyes were swollen and red. He exhaled again.

"Brother Xian, what's going on at home......"

"My uncle ......," Xia Yuanlong said with a sob, "My cousin looked at me and treated me as his own...... I haven't seen him since I left the village...... Today, I got news from home, and it was my cousin......" He paused for a moment and was silent again.

"We understand." Wei Huai stepped forward to comfort.

"I think I should see him go...... But there is still business here, I ......" Xia Yuanlong shook his head helplessly.

"That's it," Wei Huai said, "you go back to your hometown to visit first, and leave all the affairs here to me." ”

"That's going to take about ten days......"

"I'll let you go even for a year." Wei Huai said, turned around and took out five taels of silver from the blanket and handed it to Xia Yuanlong's hands.

"You should go to Songjiang when you go back to your hometown, right? Then you will take this money, and use it as your fare. ”

"Thank you, Brother Wei, for your understanding......" he said, grabbed Wei Huai's hand, put his face on it, and cried gratefully.

The two went out with Xia Yuanlong, said goodbye to the students, and then went to the stable to lead the horse and sent him straight out of the academy.

The two saw off for several miles, and Xia Yuanlong turned around and said, "This place is still far from the city gate, if you want to send it outside the city, won't it be empty and delayed?" Just be separated here. ”

"Then it's up to Renying's idea." Wei Huai said.

The two of them saluted each other before pulling their bridles and turning to leave.

"Wait a while," Xia Yuanlong suddenly called Wei Huai and took out a letter from his cuff, "Wei Xijiu, you take this letter, you must ......read it yourself" He whispered, and hurriedly stuffed the letter onto Wei Huai's body.

Wei Huai turned around and pinched the envelope hesitantly, not knowing whether to hide it or not; But his horse took a few steps back and had already walked in front of Yang Huaixian.

"What did Renying say to you?" Yang asked.

Wei Huai glanced back at Xia Yuanlong, Xia Yuanlong pouted at him, and glanced at him several times in a hurry.

Wei Huai hurriedly put his hand down and put the letter in his hand.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, and I need to take care of the academy. ”

Wei Huai returned to the house, opened the letter, and saw that the letter read:

Yuanlong Chang thought about it with his brother and wanted to tell the story of Zhongfang. I saw that my brother believed in the middle party so much that no matter how big or small, he made a ruling. But remembering the friendship of our brothers may be harmless, but if you want to achieve great things, you must be cautious. Zhong Fang's determination to be retro, contrary to our intentions, coupled with his strong temperament, will be a big disaster the day after tomorrow. Non-Yuanlong wants to build a barrier, but it is really our harmony that is the most important, and there is no need to deviate from our hearts because of the fur. Persuade my brother to choose others as a great responsibility, and stop ordering Zhong Fang to participate in our major affairs, 10 million! Million! ’

"It seems that Yuanlong hasn't forgotten about this." Wei Huai smiled bitterly, didn't pay too much attention, just rolled the letter into a ball and threw it into the paper basket.

Since then, he has also used Yang Huai's rope as usual, without any scruples. Although the two had disputes over some things, they all ended with Yang Huai's concession. Everything seems to be the original appearance of Haiyan Heqing.

But Yang Huaixian already had a little dissatisfaction in his heart. He felt that he had put forward so many strategies for the New Deal, and each of them was a heartfelt advice, but all of them were rejected without exception. He still remembers the reason given by Wei Huai:

"We want to innovate, not retro, Brother Zhongfang......"

He really didn't feel comfortable. Even if the ritual system he proposed to restore was 'retro', then the plan to educate people's hearts and rule people by virtue would always be milder, right? But he could only get a refusal.

What's the use of me being the deputy leader of this alliance! Yang Huaisheng thought to himself, this matter must be clarified, otherwise it will make the knot more and more difficult to untie.

He chose the day when Wei Huai went to the Guangsi altar to talk to the people about the evils of the times.

Wei Huai spoke generously beside him, and his speech was indeed intoxicating, and Yang Huaisheng couldn't help but be deeply immersed in it. But when Wei Huai stopped, Yang Huai came to his senses, jumped in front of Wei Huai, and said solemnly: "People! I think that the heart of the country is really valuable, but it's a pity that his new policy is too superficial! ”

Wei Huai hurriedly dragged him back and persuaded: "Brother Zhong Fang, if you have any opinions, just say it in private, don't ......"

Yang Huaisheng glared at him and said, "Brother and Minxian!" What a mistake you and Renying have committed! And the people don't listen to my words on weekdays, so now I must speak out and let everyone comment on who is right and who is wrong! With that, he went straight to the people, and Wei Huai simply let go of his hand and stood aside to let him speak.

"I see that the foundation of the new policy of Wei Sacrifice Wine is the so-called academy system! Please think about it carefully, if people do not cultivate virtue, even if the academy can supervise the actions of the government, can it be called good governance? When it comes to the people, there are no bribes in the academy? There is no battle in the academy? Big mistake!! He shouted almost with all his might.

But the people were silent, and they were stunned.

"Brother Zhong Fang, I'll talk to you slowly, let's not worry." Wei Huai said.

"That's right. I want to hear what you have to say. ”

Wei Huai sighed to himself, and then said, "I never said that there would be no such things when the academy was established...... But this is the best way to break through the old policy. Zhong Fang said that you want to be virtuous, but who doesn't want it? But there's really no way to do it...... It's not ...... either."

Yang Huaisheng waved to him: "Jimin, I really think you said it...... It's really biased. ”

With that, he withdrew his dejected gaze, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly and alone into the distance.
