Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, also had to persuade Shen Li: "Pavilion Elder, let them meet His Highness, otherwise they won't be at ease!" ”

"See what you see!"

"If Your Highness is in danger, Your Majesty must know about it first, so you need to worry about it?"

After Shen Li replied angrily, he spoke, and then said: "Don't forget, there is still Your Majesty in this dynasty!" ”

Xu Hongji smiled: "Yes! ”

Then, Xu Hongji also persuaded these people: "Everyone, please go back, it's not like a big deal here in the East Palace, it's a loss of minister's body!" ”

But some officials such as Ai Zhiwen and Rao Wei didn't want to leave just like that.

Seeing this, Shen Li asked coldly at this time: "Why, are you really not afraid that what Qiao gave will happen again?" ”

"What should I do?"

"This surnamed Shen is too strong, we can't know the current situation of the East Palace in this way?"

Rao Wei couldn't help but ask Ai in a low voice at this time.

Ai asked and said coldly: "Go back first, go back and discuss with them to see if there is any other way to know if the prince has used black incense." ”

"Good!"

Then, other bureaucrats who didn't want to leave just like that also began to leave the prince one after another after chattering for a while.

And after these people left, Shen Li said to Zhu Guozhen with a calm face: "Some people still don't give up!" ”

"That is, it is the natural desire of people to work at ease and dislike, and if the most powerful people like to work at ease, they will naturally be able to follow suit."

Zhu Guozhen replied.

Shen Li understood what Zhu Guozhen meant by this, so he nodded and said, "I have to tell Your Majesty and His Royal Highness about this, so that they can have some embankment." ”

"It's nature."

"But presumably Your Majesty will soon find out."

Zhu Guozhen replied.

……

Syllable!

More than half a month later.

Zhu Yijun slapped the secret report from Nandu on the table, and only said after a while: "You have to let a stupid person or even a person who may be incontinent or even delirious ascend to the throne in the future, as some of them want, right?" ”

Although Zhu Yijun did not refer to anyone, Wang Xijue and others on the side understood who the emperor was talking about.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Actually, this is also their whimsical, the current situation of the dynasty, even if the future monarch agrees with their wishes, there will be turmoil because it does not meet the wishes of the military households."

Wang Xijue persuaded Zhu Yijun at this time.

Zhu Yijun said: "I naturally know this truth! But I just don't want my children and grandchildren to fall into the water in the future because of their demagoguery, and even suddenly collapse in the palace, and in the end, I can only let the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital bear this responsibility. ”

Wang Xijue said yes.

"Jin Yiwei is going to investigate this matter, to find out what is the purpose behind the officials who are making trouble like this in Nandu, and whether they want to take the opportunity to use some means on my prince, such as giving him black incense or something."

Zhu Yijun said with a grim face: "If they really dare to do this, I can only ignore him as a son of his own clan, and can only regard him as an evil spirit, and let his clan die!" ”

Zhang Jingxiu said yes.

"In short, you must have a bottom line in everything you do, and people who don't have a bottom line can't blame others for not having a bottom line."

Wang Xijue wanted to persuade again, but Zhu Yijun said something at this time.

Wang Xijue didn't say anything more.

……

"We don't want to be Confucian scribes, and we have to work hard to go to sea to make meritorious contributions in order to be noble and to be a human being, what's wrong?"

"We don't want to open up the wisdom of the people, we just want to use the four books Cheng Zhu Zhixue to add some Legalist techniques at most to rule the world, what's wrong?"

"We don't want all the wealth of the world to be concentrated in Middle-earth, and let the people of Middle-earth be rich and not know what is wrong with hunger?"

Nandu.

As soon as he was in the boat, Ai Zhiwen complained about his fellow confidant Rao while there was no one around, and spat out his heart.

"What else, if you don't do this, you will be killed!"

Rao Wei said with a smile.

"I know!"

Ai replied at this time, and then cried:

"But don't you think it's hard to be an official now?!"

"Not to mention the results of various exams, when I saw Diao people making trouble, I had to explain bitterly, I couldn't teach a lesson directly like before, or kill him as a thief!"

"When you see the soldiers making trouble, you can't be strict! People are more preferential than you and me! ”

"The key is that being a father and a husband is also harder than before, children can't be strictly managed, wives and concubines can't be strictly managed, and only in front of a few bought slaves can I feel like a master."

"What a new gift, it is purely to make the official not the real official, but the slave of the world! Let the father not be a father, but a slave to his children! The order of dignity and inferiority has been reversed! ”

"yes!"

"Especially now that the imperial court also requires officials in the world to have the experience of serving as overseas governors in order to become ministers."

"What kind of truth is this?!"

"Isn't this forcing us Wenqu stars to risk being buried in the belly of a fish to go to sea?!"

Rao Wei also spoke indignantly.

Ai Zhiwen drank another glass of wine at this time, and sighed with tears:

"I really miss the time of Wanli, especially when I remember the Longmiao, when the Yan Party had gone, Renjun was in power, Zhang Taiyue was not visible, it was when Xu Gao was fighting for power, and I was just born at that time."

"And at that time, being a student was more decent than being the deputy capital of Rausch now!"

"Basically, wherever I go to visit friends and relatives, I don't have to worry about no one to serve, I meet a good-looking woman to catch a happy person, I don't have to take an official ticket to occupy the bridge to collect donations, wherever I go, there are people offering chickens, ducks, fish and meat, where is like now, when the small people see us officials who should be treated like parents, they don't have to kneel! Naturally, Xiaomin doesn't have any gratitude to Dade, so he only knows how to support the Son of Heaven! ”

"It's a pity that I was late in middle school and couldn't experience the days when literature was precious in such a good era."

"I only remember that at that time, after a clan uncle passed the first place in the township test, there were old parents at that time who gave silver, and then some people took the initiative to sacrifice themselves as slaves and maids, all of whom were proud to serve the lord of Wenqu Xing in their hometown, and there were even rich businessmen who offered their daughters as concubines, and my clan uncle had a group of wives and concubines in less than a year, and there were several acres of fertile land."

"It's not like now, not to mention the township test, even if it has been taken as the imperial history, no one has contributed, and no one has taken the initiative to offer a daughter, Rao is the female nun I fancy now, and she would rather hook up with the military household of Nanjing Xiaolingwei than ignore me!"

Rao Wei also spoke out because of the growing wine, and he burst into tears when he spoke, saying: "I just hate and can't go back!" Whining! ”

"yes, there's no going back."

Ai waited to ask back, and then angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground: "What a bullshit new gift!" ”

Bang!

Then, Ai Zhiwen fell to the ground and walked to the side of the bookcase, holding a pen and writing poems.

And after Ai asked after writing it, Rao Wei also came over to comment, and then said: "It's better to burn it, don't show it!" ”

Ai asked and nodded.

So, Ai Yiwen personally handed his poem to the candle and burned it.

It didn't take long for the two to land.

It's just that as soon as the two landed on the shore, an old fisherman came over with a hat and a basket of fish, and knelt in front of the two: "Kowtow to the two masters!" The two old men are blessed, I wonder if the two old men want to buy some new fish? ”

The house slaves of the two were about to be driven away, but Ai waited to ask at this time, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but say to Rao: "It's been a long time since I heard ordinary people call us masters!" ”

"yes!"

"I can't help but be scared!"

This rao bit also said a word, and asked the old fisherman: "Why is the old man shouting like this?" ”

The old fisherman knelt on the ground at this time and replied with a smile: "I just saw the two masters writing on the boat, and they were playing the lanterns of the Admiral's Yamen, so I guessed that the two masters must be civil officials in the yamen, and they are the Wenqu stars in the world. ”

After hearing this, Ai waited for the question to drink nectar, and immediately ordered: "Reward! Reward him with 50 taels of silver dollars! By the way, I bought all his fish! ”

With that, Ai waited to ask and left with Rao.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Here, the old fisherman could not help shouting a few times, and only after these people had gone away did he restrain his smile, went to the vegetable garden beside him, and instructed the young man who was digging in the vegetable garden:

"Follow them closely, these two people listen to me call their master not only do not need to be corrected by the new ceremony, but also very useful, and reward heavily, obviously their consciousness is not high enough, nostalgic for the old times, they may be traitors and thieves, and they may even be traitors and thieves who want to murder Your Majesty and the East Palace!"

"Yes!"

The young man agreed, took up his hoe, and followed.

The old fisherman took his fishing boat back, and soon he got out of the fishing boat in the official uniform of a brocade guard and rode to another place.

At this time.

Ai Zhiwen was still saying something else to Rao Wei in the car, and said, "I heard that someone in Jingshi has come into contact with the second prince?" ”

Rao Wei nodded and said, "It's a pity that it's not the third prince who came out!" ”

"It's better than no contact."

"Did you use black incense?"

Ai asked after asking.

Rao said: "I don't know if the second prince is willing to compete for the throne, what kind of black incense to use, let the second prince only indulge in this incense now, and it will not help with the things that may ask him to take the heir." ”

Ai nodded and then glanced out the window.

At this time, outside the car window, a young man was walking towards the side with a hoe.

Ai Zhiwen frowned, and then instructed his slave:

"Find a reason, go talk to that farmer, try the accent, if it's not local, don't make a noise, just come and tell me!"

"Why are you doing this?"

"I suspect there's something wrong with that old fisherman!"

"Now that I think about it, although he showed great respect for us people, his eyes were not so fearful and deferential, especially when he saw my house slave!"

"I know what those obedient people were like when Mu Temple, that is what even my slaves are afraid of!"

"Moreover, the young farmer who was still digging in the vegetable garden before has been following us all the time, which always makes people think that it may be a spy of Jinyiwei."

Rao Wei nodded, and had to sigh:

"What kind of world is this! When I saw a farmer following, I had to be cautious, and I couldn't drive him away directly like before, and I didn't let him go this way! (End of chapter)
