Chapter 63: Tongcheng and Strange Roads (3)
This time, Comrade Chen really came. He was followed by a dozen horseback attendants, who stopped, stretched out their hands to give command, and the group followed to another carriage and waited.
"My lord, I've been waiting for a long time!" Comrade Chen apologized to the envoy, "Because the lower officials brought a lot of family members, and prepared a carriage, don't blame it for a little delay." ”
"Understandable, please come up."
The comrade nodded, climbed into the car, sat down in the window on the left, next to the Hunan people, and looked up to face Ye Yongjia, and the two looked at each other.
"Lord Ye, you and my brother have passed through Yangzhou and have not seen each other for many days, such as every three autumns!" Comrade Chen smiled and hugged his fists.
The carriage kept jolting, but Ye Yongjia's expression did not change at all, and he replied coldly: "Yes." ”
"Ahem." The Hunan people felt embarrassed and simply tilted their heads out the window.
Comrade Chen's smile stiffened, and the atmosphere in the car instantly froze, except for the sound of horses' hooves constantly stepping, he couldn't even hear the breath of people.
But because of the face of the court envoys, his colleagues didn't want people to see the joke, so he continued to ask: "Do you dare to ask Tinglong if he also went to the Sixth Ministry as an official?" ”
"Yes. The subordinate officer served in the military department. Ye Yongjia was already tired of having anything to do with him in reality, and was obviously more interested in such issues.
"I'm in the ministry." Chen Tongpao said, "Our two yamen are really important in terms of relations, and the burden on our backs is naturally heavy, so we have to worry about it." You and I should be each other's inside and outside, and the court should be peaceful. ”
"How do you know what to do with each other?"
"The policy must be consistent," Chen Tongpao pointed to the official uniform on his body, "Now that the government is complicated, what we have to do is to bless this country with good weather and stability, and don't make any big trouble." ”
Ye Yongjia disagreed: "I have a disagreement with Lord Chen. It is precisely because of the complexity of the government that we must come forward and raise the turbidity. If it is a long-term problem, it will be prone to change in the future. ”
Chen Tongpao said: "Now the ministers and ministers are inconsistent, and when they first arrive, they will overhaul and make up for it, which will inevitably lead to resentment." If you lose and are left behind, won't you lose all your efforts? At that time, all abilities could not be displayed, and it was even more aggrieved. ”
“…… What should the current affairs of the adults think they should look like? Ye Yongjia lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked slowly.
Chen Tongpao let out a burst of meaningful laughter: "It is nothing more than the harmony of all officials, the situation is stable, there are no longer all kinds of conflicts, they all live a quiet life, everyone knows how to advance and retreat, everything does not exceed their own duties, the so-called 'movement does not lose its time', and the legacy of the three generations of antiquity is also admired." ”
"Do you want me to be aware?"
"Ah...... That's pretty much it. Comrade Chen narrowed his eyes.
"If that's the case, then there are some things that are a thorn in the eyes of those who know the times." Ye Yongjia shook his head straight, "Although there is nothing to do in all directions now, everyone knows how many crises are hidden...... If everyone loses their enterprising spirit and retreats wholeheartedly, they can only whitewash a temporary peace, and they will definitely not withdraw from the rule of three generations! ”
After saying this, Cai Xianqing cast an admiring look at him, but at the same time, he secretly sweated for his remarks.
"What," Guo Xiang was young and vigorous, but he couldn't help it, his face turned red with anger, "Don't let go of the good peace, and go to annoy others for no reason?" How many benefits can you get? ”
"The businessman's insight ......" Cai Xianqing disdained and mocked him in a low voice.
"Do you know that these hundred officials are just a handful of people, and the people under the world are a thousand times more than them? They are a harmonious mess, there is no conflict, but the bloody reality will never be enveloped in the palace, it will only drive the people to a dead end. ”
"Lord Ye, what do you mean!" Guo Xiang pointed at him with his finger, "Are you satirizing that the world is not peaceful, or slandering the current saint for ruling the country!" ”
"Oh, I was supposed to talk well, don't talk about it...... Sixing" Comrade Chen hurriedly grabbed him and glanced at the messenger again.
"I have a clear conscience." Ye Yongjia just patted his chest in the face of this accusation.
Since then, Ye Yongjia and Chen Tongbei have really parted ways. The night before he arrived in Jingshi, he collapsed on the bed, always thinking about this person in his head, thinking about the person who was comrade Chen. He seems to stand in the opposite direction every time, whether it is political ambition or style of acting, it is completely exclusive. When Ye Yongjia began to imagine the political enemies all over the government and the opposition, those images were inexplicably gathered and changed into the appearance of Chen Tongpao. This person is like the source of water for the survival of fish and shrimp, making all old forces stronger and more indestructible. He didn't even know if the world would have erased the role of Chen Tongpao, and the road to reform would have become so difficult.
Ye Yongjia simply patted his head and cleaned up his messy emotions, because tomorrow he was going to arrive at the most prosperous capital in the world-Jingshi.
Although this place is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, Ye Yongjia, who walked through the city wall, still couldn't help but sigh when he looked at it. He could see very clearly under the blue sky, and a straight road in front of him meandered in all directions like a long snake, extending to almost every corner; The streets were constantly speeding with horse-drawn carriages and sedan chair drivers, and the bustling crowd crowded into the market, which soon surrounded the streets and alleys.
He hurried his horse forward, and the shouts and shouts on both sides came and went, and the noise made his ears inaudible, and the smell of sweat in the air mixed with the smell of food, which was difficult to get used to.
In a few moments, they walked through the most prosperous street, and gradually came to the noon gate of the palace.
When he arrived here, there was no one around, and Ye Yongjia suddenly felt that the suffocating energy just now suddenly dissipated, and he took a breath of air with peace of mind.
"These are the two new lords," the messenger dragged his horse forward, walked over to the stern defender, and pulled out a letter, "Yes, this is written by General Liu." ”
The forbidden soldier took the letter and looked at it, and asked, "Who are the names of those two, report them one by one!" ”
"Below is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Tongpao." The two of them stepped forward, "Below is Ye Yongjia, the squire of the military department." ”
"Okay, let you wait in, and I'll send someone to report to the emperor." With a wave of his hand, the people around him also moved out of the way.
The envoy walked in first, followed by Ye Yongjia and Chen Tongpao...... Just when everyone thought it was okay, they suddenly heard a shout from behind: "What are you two doing, how dare you trespass into the palace without permission!" ”
As soon as Ye Yongjia turned around, he saw Cai Xianqing and the people of Guoxiang who were stopped by death.
