Chapter 60: Chess and Duel (3)
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
As soon as Wei Huai arrived, three or five colleagues came to congratulate him with a smile on their faces.
"I ...... What do I like? He spread his hands and stared blankly at them.
"When the king of Wanjun came back this morning, he told me and others that the matter in Suzhou was successfully resolved, and from then on Jiangnan was peaceful, and there was nothing to do in all directions."
Wei Huai smiled: "Isn't this what you expected?" ”
"But," the men smiled mysteriously, "there's one more thing. ”
Wei Huai probably guessed eight points, so he hurriedly urged: "What is the sale, hurry up!" ”
"The king of the county did not forget the grace of sacrificing wine to your help, and authorized Nanjing to set up a political academy, and the book has been handed to the palace. After the hundred officials discussed, they showed the official document. ”
After hearing this, Wei Huai's hand holding the rattan crutch trembled a few times, and his eyes were full of longing. He paced excitedly, although his reaction was not too big, but his heart was already surging, like rolling up a thousand waves, and his excitement was difficult to calm down for a while.
"Is Xia Siye in there?" Wei Huai's words instantly brightened.
"Xia Siye finished handling business today, and went back alone."
Wei Huai had no intention of taking care of the official affairs of the Guozijian at this time, and left the crowd in a hurry before he could say goodbye.
"Looks like Renying knows the news," he said as he walked to the door, muttering to himself, "I'm going to have a drink with him for everything I say today!" Then he stepped over the threshold.
"Renying! How about it, all these years of tiredness have not been in vain, right? Out of this breath, it's really bitter! Wei Huai walked in laughing, picked up the flask in his left hand, and put it on the table with a 'bang'.
"Tongxi, Tongxi," Xia Yuanlong smiled indifferently, and hurriedly got up to help him sit down, "Don't be too excited, this is just the first step." Your health is not good, slow down, and the leader of the alliance is more important than anything else. ”
"I have my own number," Wei Huai leaned on the rattan crutches and sat down opposite him, "It's been boring for a few years, and it has to make me excited for a while." ”
"I don't have anything to do with you, drink and drink." Yuan Long smiled bitterly, and then took two tea bowls casually, making Wei Huai half full. The two of them then borrowed wine to talk, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so happy.
After three rounds of drinking, Xia Yuanlong watched his excitement gradually disappear, so he grabbed his arm and excused himself: "Yuanlong is really too good to drink." ”
Wei Huai's face was slightly drunk: "Brother only drinks a little of this, it's not very helpful." As soon as we drank, we got drunk, and this kind of time became more and more unwanted......"
"And the people, I think Wan Heshun is a treacherous villain, and he is a deceitful person, and now his mouth is suddenly loose, and it is inevitable that he will play tricks behind his back." Yuan Long took the opportunity to offer advice, "If my brother doesn't take precautions, the situation will be unimaginable in the future." ”
Wei Huai spat out a mouthful of wine: "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and I don't allow Wei to take the plunge...... Is there a way for Renying? ”
Xia Yuanlong pondered for a moment and replied: "Since the Wan Dang gave us the title of the Academy of Participation in Political Affairs, it means that they do not dare to make trouble in Nanjing, but they are ready to take the opportunity to block the academies in various places and trap us in Nanjing in isolation. At this time, people should be sent to Zhenjiang and other places to announce that they should first rein in their sharpness and abide by the law, so as not to be caught by the government and carry out a counterattack. ”
Wei Huai hesitated for a moment, and then began to eat and drink, noncommittal.
Yuan Long was about to admonish again, but when he saw the scholar below, he panicked and reported: "The king of the county has led a group of officials to come, saying that he is reading out the official document and specially celebrating Mr. ”
"It's here! It's here! Wei Huai smiled, while asking the scholar to invite guests quickly, while going to the back room to wash his face, trying to reduce the sense of alcohol, he walked out in white clothes, and took the deputy alliance leader Yuanlong to the main hall to meet Wan Heshun.
Wan Heshun read the official document first, and the content probably said how loyal Wei Huai was, how the academy helped the world, how the government was enlightened, and everything that could be said was inked, which seemed extremely solemn.
Wei Huai took the official document and thanked the county king Endebi, and the three of them immediately took their seats, and the officials stood beside them, looking at Wan Heshun, and did not dare to ask.
"Mr.'s reform has always been not understood, even Wan is a little skeptical; Fortunately, it is not too late to open today, and it is a blessing for the country. With that, Wan Heshun glanced out with cold eyes, and someone came up carrying a heavy thing, and the whole thing was wrapped in red silk.
"This is a plaque prepared by the official himself for Mr.," Wan Heshun explained with a smile, "I don't know what it means to be called sacrificial wine?" ”
I only heard him clap his hands, and the red silk was lifted down, revealing a huge black-background plaque with four large characters inscribed in Lishu: 'Participation in the Political Academy'.
Wei Huai touched it with his hand, and there was no trace of dust stained, it was indeed newly built.
"How dare Wei be so gracious to the king of the county, I am really grateful." He reached out and pressed his heart, and he owed.
"For the sake of Nanjing, how can this official treat the Magi badly!" Wan Heshun patted him the back as a sign of encouragement.
"The king of the county," Xia Yuanlong, who had been silent, spoke, "The book "Xing Yao" is about to be completed, I don't know if the new policy can be implemented? ”
Wan Heshun faced this question that seemed to be a forced question, and showed a kind smile: "Of course." Participating in politics is for the sake of the existence of the New Deal, but if you give up one, it will not look good. ”
"King Xie Jun." Yuan Long was relieved for two or three points, and sat down again.
"Since Vice Xia has mentioned it, then the official might as well say a few more words," Wan Heshun moved his muscles and bones and lay back, "This new policy, don't implement it all at once." This is not because the officials are not sincere to you, but for your own good, otherwise the resistance will be unprecedentedly great. I mean, step by step, not too sharp. ”
Wei Huaiyu was immersed in joy, looking at the plaque, he didn't care about these details: "Well, it's all up to the county king's arrangement." ”
"Okay, you guys can do it yourself," Wan Heshun yawned and stood up in his chair, "It's time for this official to go!" You don't have to send each other. ”
Wei Huai insisted on sending him out of the house, but he finally refused many times, so he had to give up, symbolically watched him for a while, and then closed the door of the house.
"You pat this plaque, how good it is, it's much better than our old plaque. The old look needs to be renewed, just to revitalize the new atmosphere of my college! Wei Huai supported his crutches with one hand, leaned over and patted the plaque with the other, making a heavy banging sound.
Yuan Long only circled around this big plaque, as if he wanted to see something between the lines, and his expression was extremely serious.
"When will you hang this plaque?" Wei Huai poked at his clothes.
"I think, this plaque will be placed in the warehouse for the time being," Xia Yuanlong suddenly stopped, frowned and said, "If you hang up the word "participation in politics", it will definitely quickly attract attention." ”
Wei Huai's face was full of puzzlement: "You have always fully supported the development of the academy, and advised me not to hesitate; How do you say that now? ”
"That's what the foolish brother just said...... I don't feel good. Yuan Long's heart hung again.
