"Tinglong is too unkind!" Xia Yuanlong stepped out from behind the screen, with an angry expression.

"Alas," Wei Huai hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Although he accompanied Wan Heshun to perform this play, he was also forced to be helpless, not his intention, why say that!" ”

"You'd better give me an idea first." He pulled Yuanlong to sit down and sighed: "Wan Heshun explained to me, I'm afraid I can't disobey it." ”

Xia Yuanlong calmed down for a while, and then said slowly: "I think that although the book of Jimin must be written, we have to use a clever plan to get out of it, so as to avoid the two of them from asking for guilt in the future and chasing us back." ”

Wei Huai nodded twice for this: "This is reasonable. ”

"For example, hand this book to the prefect's office, and then Lord Ye will present it to the palace for court discussion......"

Wei Huai only took a cane and scolded: "Why are you embarrassed to let him carry this black cauldron?" This is not a gentleman's doing, absolutely not! ”

"Brother Fool's move, it's just to let Lord Ye shelter one or two. Do you think, he was originally a person relied on by the king of Wanjun, and he had nothing to do with the Lu Party, how could he cut off his arm? Therefore, the king of the county will definitely not seek trouble with him; At that time, if we want to take responsibility, it will be difficult for us to take the blame if we are in the way of Ye Yongjia's layer. ”

"That'...... No, I am afraid that this will offend the prince. Wei Huai groaned.

Xia Yuanlong sneered: "Over the years, we have been on the same page with the government, and we have offended them a few times in secret, and there is nothing we can do." But Wan Heshun also did what he asked, and in the past, at least he wouldn't lose his trust in the past. ”

Wei Huai's eyes were glazed down, and he was using his cane to write on the ground.

"That's it. I immediately repaired a watch and sent someone to hand it to the prefect's office. ”

Yuan Long saw that he was a little distracted, and knew that Wei Huai still had something on his mind, so he asked, "Is Jimin thinking about the academy?" ”

"Oh." Wei Huai suddenly raised his head, showing a little surprise in his eyebrows, but he smiled very gratifyingly: "You also understand." ”

He stood up with his crutches, "You heard about Li Zhizhong, the dean of the academy in Suzhou, right?" ”

Xia Yuanlong nodded and said, "This matter is very lively in the alliance, of course I know." ”

Wei Huai patted his forehead and sighed: "You and I have known before, except for Nanjing, almost all the academies in Jiangnan have lost their jobs and started to make a living of money." It's a pity that I was so busy at that time that I didn't have time to take care of other places, so I only troubled an old gentleman in the league to go and declare my intentions, and the result finally came to such a point! Now it's okay, then Li Zhizhong broke the law for this and went to prison, causing the academy to be in danger of being immediately sealed. Hard days......"

"Yes," Xia Yuanlong didn't dare to slack off, "But the case has been going on for a month, and it must be that the government has concealed the news and wants to catch us off guard." ”

"That's right, we don't even understand the situation in Suzhou now." Wei Huai's gaze drifted restlessly.

"Fortunately, the case is not closed yet, and we still have time to react." Xia Yuanlong saw that he couldn't sit still, so he said, "Don't think about it in a hurry over there." This matter must be discussed and discussed with all the people in the alliance before there is a countermeasure, and do not act in a hurry. ”

Wei Huai listened, and knocked the vine crutch to the ground: "That's it!" Go and gather all the people together and take matters into the altar of contemplation. ”

More than a dozen Confucian scholars crowded into the bamboo hut of Guangsi Altar and chatted for about half an hour before they unified the caliber. At first, the discussion was about the problems of the seowon itself, and some people thought that "if the wind of erosion in other places is not removed, the situation will become more and more difficult", so they bluntly said, "If we do not confront the government as soon as possible, but instead stick to the "Essentials", it will be delayed for a long time and everything will be abandoned'. Xia Yuanlong retorted, "Our league only cares about writing, and it is honest and worried." However, if you break with the government, you must work together inside and outside, and have the potential to shake the world to succeed; Today, Suzhou is not yet at ease, and major events are still incomprehensible, how to use this strategy? Then the people gave up.

Since they are determined to deal with Suzhou's problems, they naturally have to face the first choice: is the academy in Suzhou worth risking their lives to save them? There are no dissenting words, and of course it is worth it. However, if you want to go to the rescue, you really need to consider how to negotiate with the government. Wei Huai, as the leader of the alliance, opened his mouth first and said:

"This matter is very important, and it must not be controlled by the government when we go, so we must formulate a strategy and be consistent in order to ensure that there will be no chaos. According to a certain humble opinion, there are probably the following: first, according to our old method, mobilize the people to put pressure on the government and build momentum for us; Second, there must have been many people who ran the academy who led the academy to enlist the assistance of the various departments and yamen, so as to disintegrate their power from within; Third, it is necessary to stabilize the temper of the government, delay the process as much as possible, and wait for a turnaround. It is necessary to act prudently and not to take risks. He added: "Also, we can't engage in those crooked ways of stealing chickens and dogs, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation in this matter." ”

Who goes? Xia Yuanlong got up in the air: "I am willing to go." ”

Wei Huai glanced at him secretly.

"In my opinion, as the deputy leader of the alliance, Xia Gong doesn't have to personally risk the danger to go to the Longtan Tiger's Den."

"I'm not at ease when I leave this matter to someone else."

"Okay." Wei Huai pursed his lips, "Since Vice Xia wants to risk the arrow for my alliance, everyone doesn't have to fight, you have to believe him." ”

"Understood." The crowd replied in unison.

"That's it."

Wei Huai walked out of the room, saw a thin layer of light on the clouds, and knew that it was not too early, so he turned his head and asked Yuanlong, "What time is it?" ”

"What time is it?" Wan Heshun looked at Hu Qi who was walking slowly, made a gesture of please, and motioned to sit next to him.

"King Yujun, just now." He saluted and dragged out his chair and sat down.

"Gotta hurry." Wan He grabbed a few tea leaves in his palm and threw them into the purple clay pot.

"What are you talking about?" Hudchi's eyebrows were connected into a black line, and his expression became serious.

King Wanjun shook the teapot and smiled lightly: "The matter of abolishing redundant officials." ”

"If the county king still wants to push Wei Chong down, his subordinates can only listen to him." Hudge sighed.

"Wang Zhi, this person should not stay any longer."

Hu Qi's hand trembled slightly: "This is a person from the ministry, who has been with me for many years, and I don't expect to have any bad deeds." ”

"I'm afraid you don't know what happened today." Wan Heshun put down the teapot and shook out a so-called 'official document' letter from his cuff, "Take a look." ”

Hu Qi wondered in his heart, and hurriedly took it to take a look: "It is very hard to come from afar to inform, for Xie Rujiu's investigation in the palace, a few taels of silver, not enough to worry about." Yue Gong Lu Fangxuan personally wrote...... "When he read this, he immediately gasped.

"If you don't notice how to employ people, you should take the first demerit. But if you still have merit in the past, I won't pursue it. Do it. Wan Heshun took the letter.

"Could this be Lu Fangxuan's divisive plan?" Hudge asked.

"If he had this heart, he would have gone to fight for Wei Chong a long time ago, so why bother framing this inconsequential subordinate?" Wan Heshun glanced at him and smiled kindly: "I know that you treat people well and can't bear to be like this, but since he has done such a thing, you should be selfless." ”

Hu Qi could only swallow the depressed breath in his heart, received his fate, and withdrew from the study.
