"Who?"

Dong Sheng reclined in front of the desk to read a book, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, and hurriedly sat upright.

"I, Cui Yi."

Dong Sheng remembered the conversation with him yesterday, and immediately strode forward to open the door and invited him to sit in the house.

"What exactly is the so-called 'life and death plan' in your mouth?" Dong Sheng looked into his eyes fixedly and asked.

"Let's talk about this topic slowly, don't rush." As he spoke, Cui Yi took out a bottle of wine and put it heavily on the table, "Come, on such a cold day, drink a few glasses to warm up first." ”

"Where did the wine come from?" Dong Sheng's face changed abruptly and asked seriously.

"Hey, come on," Cui Yi waved his hand and sneered, opening the mouth of the bottle, "What kind of official stand with me, there is still a look." Grab the cup. ”

Dong Sheng's face was unhappy, but he still stood still, Cui Yi had to explain with a smile: "You see you are serious." Don't worry, I bought this wine from elsewhere and brought it with me, and I don't interfere with anyone here. ”

After Dong Sheng heard this, he hesitantly brought a wooden cup for him, and the two poured wine and drank each other.

When the wine was thick, Cui Yi saw that his face was already slightly drunk, so he took the opportunity to speak: "Yesterday, when Lord Ye said that he wanted Ren Minghuiguang, why didn't you advise?" ”

Dong Sheng shook his head: "Why should I care about the personal grudge between you and Chun and your brother?" ”

Cui Yi said: "That's right, I admit it, it's a personal grudge." But you have to think about it, I am now responsible for contacting Zeng Liang, in case he confesses and explains some details, am I not good? ”

"Needless to say! Of course, it has to be clear. Dong Sheng took another sip of wine and replied crisply.

"Then you're wrong," Cui Yi said as he knocked on the table, "even if I can treat him openly, can he really treat me openly?" He will be on guard against me, lest I intend to harm him and deceive him, and will he believe me? The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and the employment of people is not suspicious, if the two of us perform their respective duties, they will ruin the big things. It is better to stand on Cui's side and help me seize his authority, so that all the power is in my hands, and it will be much easier to do things in the future. ”

Dong Sheng finally nodded and asked cautiously, "Then I'm ...... How can I help? ”

Cui Yi flicked his sleeves: "I don't want to involve you, just write a letter and show your attitude." After all, those pro-armies have been under your control, and your words carry the most weight on their issues. Moreover, you still have the rank of a member of the military department, and you still have prestige in the military department, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about you. ”

Dong Sheng pondered for a long time, and finally raised his wine glass and touched him gently: "I agreed." But it's not very convenient now, and when it's time for you to leave, I'll bring it to you. ”

Ye Yongjia did not want to be idle here, and he had to personally inquire about the discrepancies of the camps and the customs gates that day, and there was no omission. When he had finished all the visits, it was already dark, and when he returned to the house, he felt that his head was a little dizzy and swollen, but he didn't pay much attention to it, picked up the lamp and closed it, and fell asleep.

By tomorrow morning, Ye Yongjia's headache not only did not improve, but became more serious, and his body was also paralyzed, only to know that he was infected with wind and cold. When Dong Sheng heard about it, he immediately sent a military doctor to diagnose and treat him, and prescribed him a side medicine, but it didn't work for a long time. Dong Sheng was helpless, so he said to Cui Yi: "The weather here is bad, and there is a lack of good doctors, so it is really not suitable for recuperation." You take Lord Ye back to Beijing to adjust the treatment, just in case. ”

Cui Yi complied with his wishes, hurriedly called the servants to carry the sedan chair and set off, and hurriedly said goodbye. On the way, Ye Yongjia's stomach hurt again, he couldn't swallow his food, and he was tossed so much that he vomited, his face was pale, and the team had to take a break and leave halfway, and arrived in the capital on the fourth day, and returned to Ye Mansion in a hurry.

"Sister!" Cui Yi carried Ye Yongjia and walked up to the hall panting, "Hurry up and help the handle!" ”

When Cui Shi saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly supported his other body, helped him to the bed, and settled down.

"Miss Cui......" Ye Yongjia opened his eyelids slightly and shouted like a dream.

Cui Shi lay on the side of the bed and cried: "I advised you not to go to the border before, but you didn't listen; Now it's really a serious illness, and it's worrying in vain! ”

Ye Yongjia turned his head, and a bleak smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "It's me who makes my own decisions, and it's good to make a mistake for me to carry it alone." Miss Cui, you don't have to blame yourself......"

After that, he looked at Cui Yi again: "Hexun, I can't take care of the affairs of the court recently, so I bother you to go and tell Ming to participate in politics on my behalf." Remember, this is not the time for power, but to be united. ”

"Yes...... Then sister, you can take care of your brother-in-law here alone, I take my leave. ”

Cui Yi went straight into the palace, but he didn't intend to completely obey Ye Yongjia's instructions, so he went to the yamen of the military department first, and explained the details to everyone, that is, he asked Wan Yuzhi to hand the book to Ming Huiguang, which wrote:

Master Ye has returned to Beijing with Director Cui, and he has heard of the proposal to abolish the new army and wants to fight for it. However, the matter was extremely difficult, and one person was required to preside over it, and no one was selected yet. Please participate in politics and bring all members of the Criminal Department to come to discuss together. ’

Minghui looked at it, didn't feel puzzled, and asked the little official who sent it: "Master Wan's letter is strangely written. The emperor has put this matter under the provincial agenda, and I am a provincial minister, and I am shouldering his responsibilities, so what else do I need to discuss? ”

The little official didn't answer, and Huiguang then asked, "Is there anyone around Master Wan?" Did Lord Ye order him to write it? ”

"Yes, it's Cui and Xun," the little official said truthfully, "Lord Ye is sick and has not come out of the house." ”

Minghui suddenly glared at a pair of angry eyes, and lifted the document to the ground: "This guy dares to cheat!" I am a provincial political participant, and the success or failure of this matter is all in my hands, why do you want me to go to the military department? He is a subordinate, he should come to the criminal department! Tell Cui Yi that I won't go until Lord Ye is well! ”

The clerk remained silent, picked up the documents scattered on the ground, and persuaded: "The affairs of the new army are urgent, how can it be delayed because of one's own personal grudges!" Besides, Director Cui didn't think about anything else, just for fairness. ”

"You're so presumptuous, you dare to speak for him!" Minghui stood up brightly and raised his hand, as if he was about to give an eviction order.

The secretary said: "My lord, think about it carefully, Director Cui is thinking about you." Who of us in the New Deal doesn't know the grievances between the two of you? The Criminal Department is your territory, and if you discuss here, you will inevitably be suspected of coercion and coercion, and you will be truthful; If you go to the military department and are recommended in front of everyone, you can be more convincing to the public, and second, you can release your suspicions, isn't it a good thing? ”

Minghuiguang's eyebrows gradually flattened, and he secretly thought: "I usually have a good relationship with Wan Yuzhi and others, and this matter is well-known, Cui Yi will definitely not be able to compete with me." Therefore, he became kind and pleasant, and said, "I didn't expect him Cui Yi to be a good person." I'll go with you. ”
