Yin Shen just entered the house, bypassing the wall, but saw that on the road leading to the study in the front yard, his wife Ruan Yu was already standing there waiting, and after a closer look, his wife's eyebrows seemed to be melancholy, so he measured that he should have encountered something difficult, and was anxious to discuss with him, but he didn't have time to come forward to ask, and suddenly heard someone behind him call him alias.

"Yin Shen snoring, go, accompany me to Xiaoyao Tower."

When he turned around, he saw that the uninvited guest who broke in with his heels was his friend He Zhan.

"Going to Xiaoyao Tower at this time?" Yin Shen pointed to the remnant sun in the west: "I don't have the bad habit of not returning at night. ”

He Zhan put on a sad face, and couldn't help but step forward and grabbed the arm of Yin Shaoqing, who simply refined the nickname of "Sitting and Sleeping God Monarch" into the word "Snoring", and dragged him out and said: "What are you afraid of, the Holy God gave me a curfew charm, and after the big deal, I will send Shen Snoring Jun back, so that you will not be punished by your younger siblings and kneeling." ”

Yin Shen didn't care that He Zhan was making fun of his fear, but he didn't let He Zhan forcibly drag him to the wine shop, and stood still like Mount Tai: "Excellent, Brother Chengtai has privileges, and he can also be proud of his power in the future, but just you and me, wouldn't it be lonely to have fun?" It is better to invite Brother Xuan and Brother Borong, we, the former ministers of the Qiandi, will be rampant in the capital tonight. ”

He Zhan rolled his eyes in anger, how could he not hear his friend's jokes? The order to pass the curfew is to facilitate the edict of the Son of Heaven to discuss government affairs, but it is not a privilege to facilitate the exercise of pleasure, Lu Li is also okay, Shao Borong learned about this, according to his reckless temperament, and did not point to his nose to remind him of the painful lesson, where can he still have fun, it can really be said that he was sent to the door to beg for scolding, He Shangshu is disgusted that he is not bad enough today?

With a fist, he slammed his fist at Yin Shen: "Yin Shen snoring, can't you see that I am depressed and full of depression today?" Am I not sad enough? Can't you be so upright and gentleman, and accompany me to borrow wine to drown your sorrows first? "Can you still be friends happily?!

Ruan Yu had already come over at this time, and greeted He Zhan first with a smile, of course she would not be in a hurry to tell her husband about her troubles at this time, and said: "He Shangshu wants to talk to his grandson, why should he be willing to go far?" Although the humble house can not be rich in the hospitality of mountain and sea delicacies, in the kiln, it also provides mellow sake, and the skills of blistering kitchen can still be refreshing and fragrant. ”

He Zhan just wanted to find a confidant to relieve one or two of the bitterness in his heart, and he could only go into battle bravely after complaining, and seeing that Ruan's hospitality was a guest, he naturally did not insist on going out to buy drunk, so he returned the salute and thanked the host for his kindness, but he was mainly anti-guest, and dragged Yin Shen to the study.

Yin Shen was a casual guest this time, and did not continue to squeeze his poor friends.

The guest and the host sat down, and before the wine and food were served, Yin Shen listened to He Zhan's chatter and complained, he didn't interrupt, and waited for He Zhan to go through the detailed explanation from beginning to end, and he didn't even express his opinion.

"Yin Shen snores, now you can fall asleep with your eyes open?" He Zhan was very dissatisfied with his friend's "coldness", leaning on a few leans of his body, one knee erected, humming catharsis.

"I haven't practiced that selflessness yet." Yin Shen sighed.

He Zhan's arms were weak, and his body almost didn't just nest into it, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "Why did I find you to talk to?" But the smile couldn't help but rise, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

"Brother Xuanzhi is only afraid that he won't have time to listen to Brother Chengtai's complaints, Brother Borong will even shout and cheer, and Brother Chengtai can only talk to me in order to relieve the pressure and not affect the business." Yin Shen also smiled and expressed his opinion: "The reason why the saint plans to use Xu Shizi, competence is only one of the reasons, and he should not want to let the old ministers and even the descendants of the Qiandi be pushed to the forefront and become the target of the public, Brother Chengtai knows the good intentions of the saint, but in order to repay King Huaien and 100,000 righteous and brave justice, he tried his best to suppress Xu Shizi, in case he made meritorious contributions due to changing the law, and in the future, he would be able to get away with it, when Brother Chengtai made this decision, he should have had a premonition, how could Brother Chengtai really be afraid of open guns and hidden arrows?" ”

Yin Shen is not Shao Guang, he understands the dangers of the position of the tax law reform inspector, although it is essential to move forward bravely, but only with enthusiasm and sharp edge, it is far from guaranteed to complete this extremely critical task.

The patrol envoy is like the vanguard of this battle, and he will definitely become the target of public criticism, taking the risk of losing both.

He Ye's "Huairou Policy" is just a temporary forbearance, and when the time is right, he will definitely uproot the remnants of the Queen Mother, many corpses, and even corrupt officials who have brought disaster to the country and the people, so as to successfully complete the tax reform and clean up the evils of officialdom, and the beginning of tax and political reform is this time to picket lawlessness and crack down on power hegemony.

He Zhan, the vanguard, must be unstoppable in order to establish a victory, but in this way, he will obviously offend a large number of nobles of the world and be attacked by this group.

Even if He Zhan has never committed the crime of bullying the people and the people, he has a clear conscience, but he is not sure that he can avoid the plots from all directions, who said that if he does not deceive the people, he has not committed the rest of the crimes?

Historically, there have been many people who cheat on themselves, but how can those people all deserve their crimes?

More people are defeated by the crowd and the bones are destroyed.

Even if He Zhan has the full support of the Son of Heaven behind him and can defeat lawlessness, but the dust of tax and political reform has settled, and he has a deep grudge with interest groups, the revenge and conspiracy against him will not stop, and the slightest mistake will be a catastrophe.

And of course He Zhan also has self-knowledge: "I am not better than Xuanzhi, not better than Borong, I have joined the ranks, that is, through the power of the arts, I am not the loyal and good of the high wind and bright festival, I am not sure to resist the attack of the masses, but I am not without a handle behind me, so I am afraid that it will be very difficult to retreat, and I may become notorious one day." ”

While speaking, the maid had already brought wine and food, but He Zhan had no appetite to taste the delicacies, and drank the stuffy wine one by one: "Although the saint values love and righteousness, he is not a person who is cold and unkind, but how can I, He Zhan, be a person who asks for retribution?" At that time, for the sake of the overall situation, even if the saint insists on protecting, I will not abolish the public because of my own safety, and ignore the Sheji Avenue, of course I am even more unwilling, even if you and the queen are involved, although Zhan dies without complaints, but I still have a family, and ambitions, many entanglements, Erlang, the current situation is urgent, I don't want to hide it from you, if I can't protect myself, Xuanzhi may not be able to count on it, Borong is too thoughtful, and I'm afraid that before the new deal is really stable, I must sit in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the queen and the emperor's eldest son, In the future, I can only ask Yin Jun to do his best to assist, there is a big event, I can't tell Yin Jun at this moment, but I hope that Yin Jun can help the queen achieve it in the future. ”

After speaking, he solemnly bowed to Yin Shen.

Yin Shen hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "Brother Chengtai, what do you say?" ”

"Aya's fear is nearing the limit, his body ...... I'm afraid it's not far from running out of oil and the lamp is dry, and I say that the big thing is the common wish of the queen, Xuanzhi and me, and I have hidden it from Yin Jun and Shao Jun for many years, not because I have doubts about the two, but also hope that Yin Jun trusts, the queen, Xuanzhi and Zhan do have a hard time, Zhan, I implore Yin Jun to promise today, if it is really a last resort, you must help the queen. He Zhan insisted on making a big salute, raised his wine glass again, and knelt towards Yin Shen, his expression solemn and unswerving.

This is inexplicable, similar to the dying will, which was not only unexpected by Yin Shen, but also shocked him, but he did not hesitate, and even did not get to the bottom of it, so he also knelt down and raised the lamp: "Although the gentleman is not talented, thanks to Xuanzhi and Chengtai, the two brothers will not give up, and they will become close friends, although there is no eight-worship ceremony, but there is the righteousness of life and death, the gentleman is willing to promise, and will never live up to the trust of Brother Chengtai today, but for a breath that still exists, he will help the queen achieve her wish." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the sake in the cup.

Of course, such a promise is extremely difficult, because Yin Shen doesn't know what He Zhan entrusts, but he believes in the character of the two friends, and believes that the entrustment is not for power and profit, but although he is willing to bear the heavy trust, he is extremely shocked by He Zhan's "prediction", so after agreeing to the promise, he can't help asking: "Brother Xuan's body is really here?" ”

"I'm just worried, at the beginning, even the Ling Xuan Heavenly Master asserted that Xuan Zhiyang had ten years of life at most, but don't look at him weak, but he has survived this hurdle, maybe there is still a chance for a turnaround." He Zhan sighed, his expression turned depressed.

Yin Shen couldn't help but appease: "Brother Chengtai, please be relieved, although he is responsible for a heavy responsibility, but the situation may not develop to such a bad level, in the eyes of the world, although he was once a member of the Queen Mother's party, he has never acted in a way that harms the country and the people, and even secretly ......"

"If it is secret, it is destined to be difficult to recognize." He Zhan waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, I also hope that just like Yin Junjiyan, it is unfounded, even if he is calculated to become an official, or he can follow the rumors, and call himself Tao Zhu Gongfu Jia, but he is not suitable for secluding in the mountains and forests, I like to be lively, and I don't come to be elegant." ”

In an instant, he became a hanger again, leaning on the table with his arm and holding a wine cup with his other hand: "The vicious battle is imminent, we should have fun in time, come and come, we will not get drunk today." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to get drunk, and he was carried to the soft couch in the study by Yin Shen, He Shangshu's eyes could only open a slit, but he still disliked Yin Shaoqing: "I said Erlang, at the moment, you are working in Honglu Temple, and you are not fifty or sixty years old, why do you keep a tie in your hair, go find a razor, and I will dress you up." ”

Yin Shen couldn't cry or laugh, grabbed the jacket and was pressed against the drunk: "The little brother spared his life, so he had to refuse the good intentions of the brother." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard the drunken ghost snoring like thunder, Yin Langjun shook his head helplessly, instructed the two servants to take care of him here, touched his cheeks, and muttered: "Although I am in Honglu Temple, I have been very busy recently, where can I take care of shaving every day, is this really very old?" ”

The officials of Honglu Temple, to a certain extent, represent the image of the officials of the Great Zhou, as if they should indeed pay more attention to decoration than in the past? Yin Shen bowed: Maybe we should really discuss the lady later, should we have a fashionable beard?
