The date for the parade was set, and the next step was to consider the people who accompanied it. For this reason, Liu Zhennian specially summoned Niu Yuan and Lu Yingshan to discuss secretly in order to find a perfect law. Lu Yingshan has been in the army for a long time, and has never participated in such a major meeting, so he can only rely on his previous experience to suggest that the prime minister "The so-called few people and things are simple, only take the chief officer of the six departments to go, so that Su Zongshan has no henchmen around him, and if he cuts off his wings, he will be cornered." ”

But Niu Yuan was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he hated to kill them all and leave no trouble, so he didn't think so, and sneered with his white beard: "Su Zongshan is about to be captured, even if he takes that group of henchmen to go, what big thing can he achieve?" If you leave a large number of Su Dang in Jingshi, dare you guarantee that they will not jump off the wall in a hurry? It's better to take them all to Henan and watch their every move under their noses. ”

"Well...... Yes, too. Lu Yingshan had nothing to refute, so he had to affirm Niu Yuan's speech, and looked back at Liu Zhennian.

Liu Zhennian agreed with Lu Yingshan's proposal even more, but now that there is no one around, there is a lack of someone who dares to insist on opposing opinions to argue with Niu Yuan, so that he can penetrate the pros and cons and listen to both. He could only sigh at Yan Wen's departure at this time, and then slowly accepted Niu Yuan's statement, and let him include all the 'Su Dang' in the draft list.

Su Zongshan had been sending people to inquire about the news of the patrol, and the bell rang more than three times, and finally found out the contents of the list when it was dark.

Lu Zhixian was also on the side at this time, and when he heard the messenger say, 'There are a lot of people accompanying him this time', so he reacted the same as Su Shenzheng's reaction, leaning back on the chair with a blue face, and his heart was like a pool of stagnant water.

"It's over! Finished! He slapped his thighs and wailed, "Liu Gong means that he wants to kill them all!" Shall we not sit idly by? ”

Su Zongshan fiddled with the big green ring in his hand, and also complained: "I don't like to offend people in my life, it's just greedy for a little silver, why should he do this?" Is it bad to live a peaceful life? Fighting and killing all day long, there is no time to calm down, alas......"

"Not everyone understands the truth of being a human being, there are too few sages like you in the world!" Lu Zhixian gritted his teeth angrily, and everyone around him also echoed, but Su Zongshan frowned, his lips were cold, and his eyes looked into the distance in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After being stunned for a while, everyone was silent, for fear of disturbing Lord Su's judgment. Most of them raised their eyes slightly, staring blankly at his face, as if looking at a statue of a god, not knowing where he would lead the way.

"We can try to struggle, how about a change of door?" Su Zongshan suddenly asked.

"Change the court?" Lu Zhixian was stunned and even forgot the meaning of the word, repeating it.

"The Liu Party has tried to put me to death, and it is irreparable. Although we don't have much intersection with Qingliu, those people are better at talking, and they should have a good impression of me, so you might as well give it a try. ”

Lu Zhixian himself was pulled to the side of Liu Dang by Su Zongshanqiang, and when he heard his idea, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "The plan to participate in politics is really the best policy, and now there is only one way in Huashan, and if you don't go, you have to go!" ”

The gate of the capital suddenly made a dull loud noise, and a long procession gradually emerged from the city gate. At the beginning were several horses armed with spears, and in the middle were an old general, and when his horse's hooves stepped out of the city, the horses quickly moved out of the way, lined up on both sides, and shouted: "Prime Minister Liu Dacheng has left Beijing!" ”

Liu Zhennian gently dragged the horse, and the four horses' hooves were just about to land, and there was a sound of praise from the mountains and tsunami in front of him.

Although he has watched this scene no less than ten times in his life, only this time made him very proud. For the sake of Gu Junchen's etiquette, Liu Zhennian had no choice but to jump off the horse and kneel down towards the prince: "How dare the minister be worshiped by the prince!" This time in the town year, I will go to rectify the governance of other provincial officials, and I will not forget the prince's long-term grace! ”

The prince looked at him with respect and fear, and only after a long time did he reply, "Okay...... Okay, the prime minister will go back quickly. ”

Liu Zhennian laughed, took the horsewhip, and waved away; But the heads of the ministers were not raised, and it was not until the sound of the horse's hooves died down that they stood up tremblingly, dusted off their sleeves, and cast pleading glances at the prince. The prince knew that these people were accustomed to taking bribes, and if Liu Zhennian opened up the atmosphere of rectification, there would be only one way to die.

The team walked for a day, seeing that the sky was about to be night, people were sleepy and horses were lacking, and it happened to arrive at the Qinghe Post in Chenzhou, Liu Zhennian arranged for the accompanying officials to live in the official post, and those who could not live were camped outside the gate of the post station, and the forbidden soldiers who patrolled were together.

Ye Yongjia, who was the secretary of the military department, was naturally able to enter the post station to rest. He led the horse to a post officer, and wanted to go straight into the house, but he didn't think that the latter asked him in a low voice: "I just heard someone call you, are you surnamed Ye?" ”

"That's right, the surname is Ye, and the name is Yongjia." He turned around and looked him up and down, and saw that the postman had gray hair and wrinkles on his face.

"I remember what you said, you came here to be an official before, you must have lived in this post for twenty years, and you lived in this post for a day. Later, because you killed Lu Deguang in the court, you became famous, so you remembered this name. After so many years, we can still meet again! Dare to ask what your current job is? ”

"Oh......" Ye Yongjia heard him say, and suddenly remembered the past, he looked up in all directions, and saw that not only was there no rain at this time, but even the walls of the past were peeled off, and a large amount of dust fell on the door panels of the houses, everything became completely different, it was really like a world away.

"Don't hide that you are old, you are now the secretary of the military department." He came back to his senses and hurriedly replied to the old postman.

"The Book of the Ministry of War...... The military department Shangshu ......" The post official repeatedly chanted his official name, lost for a moment, and then smiled: "Corruption is rampant here, no different from what happened back then, I hope you can not change your original intention, and rectify those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that I and other small people can live happily for a few days, just a few days!" ”

After hearing this, Ye Yongjia just sneered sadly, was silent, said goodbye to the old postman, turned around and came to the house to rest.

But he recalled the past, and he couldn't sleep, so he began to rummage through the cabinet, stumbled upon a chessboard, and hurriedly took it out, wanting to play a game with people with it, but there was no one around.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door and hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

"Yu Shangshu, fellow Chen."
