Chapter 120: Fishing Tricks and Missed Opportunities (2)
Minghui walked to the guest hall, turned the screen, and saw a person dressed as an officer talking to Cui Yi, the person inadvertently turned around, recognized him, smiled when he landed, and stepped forward to greet him: "Ming Shilang, don't come to be harmed, right?" β
"Are you...... Song Duwei? Minghuiguang thought carefully for a while before remembering the name, "I'm fine, but this stomach problem is still the same." Why are you here? β
"I heard that you are in an embarrassing situation, so I came here to see if there is anything I can do to help."
"You seem to know each other well, huh?" Cui Yi got up and asked with a smile.
Song Duwei said: "Of course. In the past, when Master Shi was here, he often sent me to the Criminal Department, either to ventilate or say hello; Zhongshu Province also went to it a few times, and then got acquainted with Ming Shilang. β
"That's good," Cui Yi nodded slightly, showing trust, "For the sake of Ming Shilang, how can you help us this time?" β
"I stay in the palace day and night, I can watch at any time, once I see an edict, I should report it, so that the public can act. I can also convey your words to the emperor and advise him on his behalf, so as to ease his heart and strengthen his will. β
Minghui Guang seemed to be about to open his mouth to agree, but was preempted by Cui Yi: "No, this is too dangerous." Captain Song, you are an officer, and you are not suitable for this kind of errand, which will make Your Majesty suspicious. But you should be able to reach out to the people of the Inner Ministry, right? β
"Yes."
"Why don't I write a letter to Gonggong Shen, and you can send it to him in person, see what his attitude is, and then make the next step. It would be safer for him to intervene in this matter. β
After that, the Command Office took the paper and quickly picked up the pen and wrote:
'Cui Yiwan, the director of the Criminal Department, worships Shen: A certain chief is happy with the beauty of adults and does not want to offend everyone. Now the court is discussing the fierce and fierce, like a tide, there is no place for a few places, only to look up to the great virtue of the governor, and ask for the heart to reach the holy hearing, in order to save the lives of the people in the world. If you don't allow it, you have no complaints; If you get your approval, you will be grateful. β
He also sealed ten taels of silver as a gift for the meeting, and handed it over to Song Duwei. Song Duwei looked serious, felt that he had a heavy responsibility, did not wait for more greetings, and said goodbye.
"This person can't be relied on," Cui Yi looked at the figure, and his smile gradually cooled, "You have to be careful." β
Minghui Guang was puzzled in his heart, and argued: "This person has a loyal temperament, I know it very well, and it is by no means comparable to others. If he and Xun blindly take precautions, I am afraid that the heart of the righteous will be cold. β
Cui Yi sneered a few times: "Adults are shallow." Temperament is not immutable, not to mention that Shi Siban has just left, and people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate. It's better to wait for the news from Zeng Liang's side, the rest of the people don't believe it easily, it's not worth believing. β
"Kezengliang ......"
"Time is not allowed to be wasted anymore," Cui Yiyi waved his hand and interrupted him, "Let's get down to business, hurry up and talk about the issue of the court." β
Only then did Ming Huiguang remember the purpose of his coming, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and respectfully said like a subordinate: "I think that if you want to wait for Zeng Liang to help, then you should focus on the word 'drag', do not make fierce arguments, and hold your troops for the time being, hiding your edge." β
"No," Cui Yi shook his head decisively, "Fate must be in your own hands before you can be stable." Zeng Liang is the most insidious and deceitful, if you only count on him, won't you make him look down on us? He must know that he depends on us to get things done, not on us. Therefore, we must strive for it at all costs, and make as much trouble as possible. I've just written a speech, so please take a closer look. β
Minghui glanced at it a few times, and saw that the dense text arranged every sentence, although it was called 'reference', but he felt a strong command tone from the invisibly. He was extremely uncomfortable, as if his limbs were tied, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and handed it back to Cui Yi's hand: "I roughly remember." β
When the hour came, the people urging from outside came, so Huiguang ordered two henchmen to be scribes, as copyists, and followed him to Zhongshu Province. Because Su Zongshan was old and frail and had not yet arrived, everyone gathered outside the hall to wait.
Minghuiguang sat in the east duty room, separated by a light blue curtain outside, and his henchman looked at no one nearby, and asked him secretly: "When I watched the adult receive the speech, my hands couldn't stop shaking, I don't know if the villain was dazzled?" β
Minghuiguang's expression suddenly became stern, but he regained his calm in an instant, turning his chest full of indignation into a long sigh: "Due to the current situation, I have no choice but to do it!" β
The henchman then asked: "If you had been tempered before, you should have torn your face with Cui Yi a long time ago, why did you put up with it?" But it made the posterity rise his ambition! β
Minghui said: "I don't know. The greatest wish of my life, nothing more than this new policy, has now almost become the only thought. I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that the situation will collapse from now on, and I'm afraid that the New Deal will be ruined...... Therefore, I can endure any suffering, and I can endure any hatred, even if Cui Yi wants to take my life, I will tear open my chest on the spot and take out all my internal organs! I'm going to keep my eyes open and see how it all ends, as long as there's a little hope left......"
When he talked about this, Minghui was like a demon, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do; Fortunately, Su Zongshan arrived in time, and the two of them were anxious to persuade him on official business, and forcibly dragged him out to discuss matters.
Cui Yi's judgment was not wrong, and Chen Dang really launched a thunderous offensive. Guo Xiang and Ge Ming took out the joint signature of the ministers for the two, and asked the prime minister Su Zongshan to sign it, report to the emperor as soon as possible, and lead more than a dozen people such as attachΓ©s and small officials to intercept the retreat, kneel on the ground and cry and persuade, it is necessary for Su Zongshan to agree. Seeing this situation, Minghui was not to be outdone, and according to Cui Yi's words to teach him, he took advantage of the chaos and pulled the sleeve of Su Zongshan's shirt and said, "Su Xiang! You really can't get away today, you need to protect a new army for the society, and beat out all these chaotic ministers and thieves! β
When Ge Mingwei heard this, his face was flushed with anger, and he quarreled endlessly, and everyone followed suit, and even threw paper and pens at each other, making a mess; Only the Hunan people watched coldly and watched the changes.
Su Zongshan was anxious to escape, and refused to stay for a moment, because he saw that the Hunan people had not yet opened their mouths and could be used, so he shouted: "The good marquis is still calm and speechless, and you are so out of shape, won't it bring shame to the capital province?" β
Everyone hurriedly stopped, seeing that the Hunan people still didn't say a word, they were all stunned for a while. Zong Shan took this opportunity to escape quickly from the side door, but everyone couldn't catch up, and the palace gate was closed. Ge Mingwei was sweating profusely for running, and turned around to blame the Hunan people: "When it comes to the critical season, why don't you give an order!" β
The Hunan people pretended to regret: "I didn't think you all fought, and I was a little stunned." β
"They all rely on your big tree to support them, so they dare to be unscrupulous, how can you ...... That's it, now that the prime minister has run away, the big thing can't be accomplished, so we have to play and wait for the sin. Ge Ming was so melancholy.
