On the day of January 24th, when the many forces in Jinyang competed with each other for the cabinet and gradually could not support the pressure, a recital was in front of the emperor, and went straight to the heavens......

The Imperial History Observatory supervises the martial arts, the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department control the law, and the Ministry of Officials is an important organ to evaluate the performance of officials in the world.

"Dr. Zu should have expected that there would be such a difficult situation to deal with today, so he prepared in advance, I don't know the specifics...... But, there is always something to guess...... The Imperial Historical Observatory is responsible for participating in the impeachment, pulling the handle, and the Ministry of Officials provides reference for the evaluation of previous years, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple ...... Responsible for execution, arrest and jail. ”

In the twilight skyscape, in a secluded and elegant house, the doors and windows were opened, and the cold wind blew away the heat on the face, Pei Shiju took a sip of warm wine and said slowly: "This link is linked to each other, even if the arrogance of the six towns is flourishing, it is time to rest for a while...... Zu Dafu Temple is considered a talent, it is invincible in the current dynasty, no one can stand out, this whole thing, that is, the right minister, is being led by his nose, and more importantly, this is after all His Majesty's acquiescence......"

Duan Shen's brows were twisted from the beginning, and after listening to Pei Shiju's words, the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened a little. Seeing him like this, Pei Shiju opened his mouth, a little didn't know what to say next, today he was originally resting at home, but Duan Shen asked him to meet, and came to the door with a big gift, although he didn't want to accept the gift, but Duan Shen had a good relationship with him on weekdays, colleagues, and they helped each other, so he still decided to mention him.

"The severity of this matter, Brother Duan, you must understand, you have always been a person who can carry it clearly, after this incident, your Duan family is nothing more than a lack of false titles and interests, and it will not hurt your muscles and bones, but if you really plan to get involved, it will be a big mistake, not only the cabinet, but even Your Majesty will doubt your Duan family's position, right and wrong...... You're really going to have to weigh ......."

Duan Shen looked at his serious expression and knew Pei Shiju's concern, so he laughed and said a little stunned: "Ha, I won't get involved, and my father has already made it clear that he will never allow the children of the Duan family to get involved...... However, we are not the only ones in the Duan family...... Father, he can restrain some people, but there are also some that can't be restrained at all, my second uncle...... Hey, my dad has a headache these days. ”

Pei Shiju's expression relaxed a little, "That's it...... That's not a big deal, your second uncle's power is not as good as before, and after all, the Duan family is still Dazai's final say, if he doesn't help, your second uncle won't be able to make a big mess...... At most, it is just to connect some people to run around and make the momentum bigger...... Ha, I have also made the situation clear to you at the moment, they come and go, and in the end, it is nothing more than blind work......

In fact, what else is there to dispute? It's already clear...... The happier they are now, the faster they will die in the future, and now His Majesty will not move them, because it is not yet time to move them, and immediately, all of this will fall into place, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to stop it! ”

When the empty wine glass in his palm fell, it sounded like thunder in his ears, Pei Shiju took a handkerchief and cleaned his palm, Duan Shen woke up like a dream, twisted up the wine jug and poured it for him, but was stopped by Pei Shiju.

"It's almost today, I've drunk enough wine, I'm full of food, I still have important things to deal with later, so I'll leave first, and I'll come back another day."

Pei Shiju got up, Duan Shen also went out to see him off, and when he walked to the door of the mansion, Duan Shen took out a piece of paper from his arms and said with a smile: "Thank you Hongda for solving your doubts, I am grateful, this is the deed of this house, ha, there is no other meaning, I heard that Hongdae does not have a house in Jinyang, this ...... It's not in line with your current status as a member of the fourth grade......"

Pei Shiju didn't take it, a playful smile appeared on his face, Duan Shen's hand that handed out the deed froze there, looking at Pei Shiju strangely, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and after a while, Pei Shiju pointed at Duan Shen and said: "Okay, you Duan Deshen, I treat you as a friend, why didn't you tell me that there was someone hidden behind the screen just now?" Deliberately deceived me? Well? ”

Duan Shen became more and more confused, revealing an inquiring expression, "Hongdae? ”

Pei Shiju rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "Don't pretend...... Where we were chatting just now, there was someone behind the screen, right? ”

“…… Ha...... Everyone says that you Pei Hong is like a ghost, I didn't believe ...... in the past, and I don't know how you found out. ”

Duan Shen finally couldn't hold back the puzzled expression he pretended, shook his head and smiled:

"You faked to death just now...... I still wonder, when have I ever seen you so serious? If you dare to love, you already knew that there was someone behind the screen......"

"Who?"

"My dad...... Also, my second uncle. ”

Pei Shiju showed a look that was really like this, "It's not in vain that I just talked about a lot, I guess it will be effective, right?" ”

"I'm stunned by what you said, not to mention my second uncle, I don't know what I'm afraid of now." Duan Shen's face was expressionless, as if he was not talking about his second uncle, just a stranger, his bitterness Pei Shiju understood, stretched out his hand and patted Duan Shen's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, who doesn't have a few unlucky relatives yet?" You're going to be the head of the house in the future, and of course you're going to have to think a little more than anyone else......"

Duan Shen glanced at him: "You will watch people get off the plate, see people talk about people, talk nonsense when you see ghosts, like loaches, you are the most slippery in the world!" My troubles haven't been cleared up yet, but you're a lot more relaxed......"

"So what, I'm not the future head of the Duan family, and I'm still helping your family think about how to end it? …… Help others and help yourself, if your Duan family doesn't find something for us to do, then we will be a lot easier. Pei Shiju had a little hippie smile after he went out, this is his true face, and it is the norm of his life to scare each other with a few friends.

"Do you want this deed?" Duan Shen pinched the piece of paper with two fingers and raised his eyebrows.

"Want to ......"

Duan Shen smiled and wanted to stuff him into his arms, and the next second he heard him say again:

"But I don't dare to ......"

Duan Shen retracted depressedly and glared at him angrily.

He frowned and said: "The above investigation is very strict, those imperial historians can't wait to grow a pair of eyes and two pairs of ears, they are licensed by the saint to hear about things, besides, Doctor Zu and Zheng Shangshu don't look at me very well...... At this juncture, don't accept any gifts, it's good for everyone. ”

This time he didn't have a hippie smile, his face was full of seriousness, Pei Hongda rarely had such a serious time, this kind of tension leaked from the side made Duan Shen involuntarily stunned, and then nodded, and the title deed was withdrawn into his sleeve, and he gave it very formally.

"Brother Hongdae walks slowly......"

Pei Hongda returned the salute, "Goodbye." ”

…………

A huge screen tree is in the back hall, behind the screen, it is exactly the same pattern as the front, two people standing, one is kneeling, an old man and a young man are sitting opposite each other, all of them are wearing Yanju regular clothes, leisurely and complacent. The young man was born with sharp eyebrows, and there seemed to be wind between the opening and closing of his phoenix eyes, at this time he took a leisurely sip of tea, saw Duan Shen come in, and smiled slightly: "Pei Shiju is gone?" ”

Duan Shen shook it to the end and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Pei Hongda has important things to do, so it's ...... errand."

"Hmm...... You have a good relationship with Pei Hongda, he even dares to say these things to you. ”

The cold sweat on Duan Shen's forehead came down instantly, but it was quite steady, "The minister and Pei Hongda are close friends, when he was the first prince to give up people, the minister made friends with him because he was like-minded, so he befriended ......"

"Pei Shiju is indeed insightful, but he is so tactful, I sometimes really want to drive him to Youzhou...... However, his words really captured three of them...... Very smart......" The young man smiled, noncommittal, and glanced at the kneeling person on the side, "After listening to what Pei Hongda said, do you have any ideas?" ”

The one who knelt on the ground with his arms trembling like a sieve chaff was naturally Duan Shen's second uncle Duan Xiaoyan, he knelt there, his mind was blank, he heard the emperor's question, and only knew that he stammered and said, "The minister is guilty", Duan Shao looked at his younger brother's unproductive appearance, and sighed faintly...... Who would have known that the emperor, who was supposed to be far away in the Luliang Mountain Hunting Palace, would suddenly visit? It's also good...... It is better to settle it in private and ask for a favor than to be sent by His Majesty in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty......

Gao Wei was expressionless and said, "After I approved Zu Ting's invitation, the first book of the Imperial History Ginseng is you, and it is listed...... Twenty-seven crimes? I won't talk about cutting corners when you were in charge of planting fruit trees in the garden, and I don't want to talk about it when you were in charge of Qizhou Assassin Shi when you were corrupt and bent the law...... Are you still ...... once relied on power, forced women to commit adultery, and disregarded people's lives...... Since I ascended the throne, I have repeatedly ordered that I am not allowed to sell my official beard, and you should also turn a deaf ear, these are nothing...... I also heard," Gao Wei paused, looked him in the eye, and the words were like knives, "You have united some people and plotted to rebel......!" ”

Duan Xiaoyan was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty is clear, the minister doesn't dare to be opposed, the minister is just ...... It's just that he was forced to be helpless by Zu Ting, the old horseman, so he contacted some people to push him back, and he didn't dare to rebel! ”

It's really a villain in the court, and Zu Ting provokes half of it!

If Gao Wei is not mistaken, these two goods were originally wearing a pair of pants, but then Duan Xiaoyan obviously faded out of the center of power, and Zu Ting didn't pay attention to him anymore, which made Duan Xiaoyan hate, and from time to time he united with some people to remove Zu Ting, and it was strange that Zu Ting didn't take this opportunity to focus on revenge......

Cushman & Wakefield's brows furrowed deeper, and he didn't bother to say anything else.

"Write your resignation, and I may be able to save your life...... If it's too late, it'll be too late......

I won't be back to the palace for the time being, and I want to see who dares to make waves ......! ”

Duan Shao's face was a little complicated, and he was also a little flattered, His Majesty's place of stay was not here or there? What a great honor! So he hurriedly got off the bed and respectfully said yes.

…………

It's really changed......

It's the last minute,

The thoughts of all those present.

However, the most pitiful is still Pei Hongda......

For the first time, Duan Shen felt guilty for this friend......

"Hongdae, Hongdae, you...... Do it yourself......"
