After chatting with Zhang Hao for a while, Xu He said goodbye.

As soon as he came out of the study, a group of officials of the palace arched their hands and said, "Xu has worked hard to read!" ”

"The horses have to work!"

"Champion Gong please sit down ......"

Xu He knew that these people didn't want to greet or eat with him, but wanted to know what he had said to the King of Shu.

The news of Emperor Zhizheng's serious illness must have reached the palace, and the minds of these palace officials began to liven up.

In fact, it even includes Chang Shi Pengzheng, who has always been known for his calmness.

Xu He arched his hand and smiled: "There are many things today, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, next time, Peng Changshi, let's talk a few words?" ”

Peng Zheng was waiting for this sentence, and immediately nodded when he heard the words: "It's all gone, I'll send the horse out of the house." ”

Waiting for everyone to disperse, Xu He looked at Peng Zheng coldly and said, "Peng Changshi, do you think His Royal Highness the King of Shu has too long a life?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Peng Zheng was suddenly frightened: "Donkey, donkey, why did you say this?" ”

"Then why did you use Emperor Han Wen to set up the crown prince and let His Highness test me?"

Seeing that his careful thinking was exposed, Peng Zheng simply stopped pretending: "Donkey, I invite you to come today, that's not what His Highness meant!" ”

"What I want to say is that although His Highness would like to send a horse to give him a lecture, today it is not a horse invited by His Highness, but a ...... Palace! ”

This is new information, Xu He thought about it, and then looked at Peng Zheng and continued to say seriously: "So what? Could it be that the palace asked the King of Shu to ask Emperor Wen of Han about the establishment of the prince? ”

Peng Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth after a while, and said, "Don Ma, do you know that the emperor is sick?" ”

Xu He said: "I just came out of the palace!" Peng Changshi, let me say it again, this kind of thing is not something that a minister can say! ”

Peng Zheng was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of the King of Shu, he decided to fight: "Please forgive the sin, donkey, think about it, at this time, Your Majesty asked you to come to His Highness's Mansion to teach His Highness to read, what does this mean?" ”

"You are Your Majesty's son-in-law, and you are a clan relative with soldiers!"

"Enough!" Xu He shouted, looked at Peng Zheng with murderous eyes and warned: "Peng Changshi, I shouldn't have heard what I said just now, I won't say anything else, I just ask you one thing, has my Royal Highness the King of Shu been out of the pavilion to study now?" Is there a serious master? ”

Peng Zheng looked at Xu He with wide eyes like a lightning strike: "No." No! ”

"Why did the emperor call me to give lectures to the King of Shu five times, but demoted me to a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy?"

Peng Zheng's body shook, and his face turned pale.

"Peng Changshi, wake up, the King of Shu is not a candidate to inherit the unification, he asked me to move around more with His Royal Highness the King of Shu, that is to hope that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will not have more fools around him, and he will harm His Royal Highness at this critical time! Got it? ”

Although it was emotionally difficult to accept, Peng Zheng still struggled and said: "Donkey, yes, it's the official's mistake!" ”

Xu He said: "This sentence is not what you taught the King of Shu, right?" ”

Peng Zheng was surprised: "No, it's not! It was the chief historian who pointed out Bo Qu Zheng to discuss with me......"

Xu He squinted his eyes and said, "What is the origin of this Qu Zheng?" ”

"He was one of the thirty-seven pedestrians of the Pedestrian Division! Later, it was recommended to be recorded as a royal point. ”

"Pedestrian Division?"

The Pedestrian Division is a department dedicated to festivals and envoys, and all the promulgation of edicts, canonization of clans, and support of vassal kings are under the jurisdiction of this department.

To tell the truth, the pedestrian division is just a small yamen that has no real power.

But there is a good thing about it, you can often contact the prince of the clan.

And this yamen, which was previously under the jurisdiction of the prince, is now deposed by the prince......

Thinking of this, Xu He and Peng Zheng looked at each other, already knowing what each other was thinking.

Peng Zheng said gratefully: "Donkey, if it weren't for you, hey ......"

After saying that, he slapped his thigh hard, remorseful.

Xu He said: "Since Peng Changshi already knows the stakes of this matter, then I won't say more." ”

"From today onwards, the government will not have contact with foreign officials, and Your Highness will rarely be alone with subordinate officials other than you."

"In the future, anyone who instigates His Royal Highness the King of Shu to compete for the crown prince, you can directly play impeachment! The bigger the movement, the better. ”

"As for this Qu Zheng, he will be expelled from the palace immediately, what excuses and reasons to use, you can think about it casually, and you can fabricate it!"

Peng Zheng nodded solemnly.

At this time, Xu He had already come to the gate of the mansion, he avoided Menzi, and whispered to Peng Zheng: "Urge the King of Shu to do his duty as a son of man and a brother, and other things...... Look at Destiny! ”

Peng Zheng looked up at Xu He in astonishment, and Xu He had already walked out of the Shu Palace, and Menzi bowed down and said, "Donkey, slow down." ”

Looking at Xu He's back as he gradually moved away, Peng Zheng had mixed feelings in his heart.

……

Xu He returned to the house and stayed for another day, during which he went to the Garden Hutong to meet Xu Song, but Xu Song still did not return to the house in the pavilion.

Xu He could only write a letter asking Yao Chunchen to hand it to his uncle, in which he briefly talked about his analysis of the Huguang war situation, and some other private matters were not easy to write on paper, so he could only give up.

When all this is done, it is the time of separation.

However, this time I left Beijing, but many officials came to see him off.

Many of them are officials whose rank is even higher than Xu He.

There is no need to ask, Xu He knows that these people are all [Qin Party], and they probably felt that they took action in the garden alley that day and saved the female relatives of the Qin Mansion, so they trusted themselves even more, and when they left Beijing, they came to see each other off.

Li Xiyan didn't come this time, his identity was more sensitive, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to come forward, but everything was in plain sight, whether he came or not, Xu He knew it in his heart.

These Qin Party officials sent Xu He out of Beijing to say goodbye.

Xu He rode all the way north, but he was thinking about the spillover of the Chao Bureau and the Huguang War.

was depressed in his heart, and the soldiers in front turned their horses' heads and galloped to Xu He's side and said: "Tell Lord Tongzhi, Shili Pavilion in the distance, someone asks to see you!" ”

Xu He was curious: "Who?" ”

"I don't know, only the name card is presented!"

Xu He took the name card handed over by his own soldiers, and when he opened it, he was shocked when he saw the payment!

He clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse to run as fast as he could, and soon he saw someone in the pavilion.

The man was dressed in a civilian robe, with a brocade belt around his waist, and a fan yang hat on his head, looking like a merchant in the north.

The man saw Xu He and arched his hand and said, "Liangsheng, I know that you are out of Beijing today, so I am here to see you off!" ”

Xu He dismounted and bowed his hand, but did not reply, nor did he reveal the identity of the person.

The man was very satisfied, handed over a glass of wine and said, "If there was a misunderstanding before, I will apologize with wine!" ”

Xu He said respectfully: "Don't dare!" ”

After speaking, he carefully took the cup and drank it all.

The man laughed, "Thank you! ”

After speaking, he pressed Fan Yangli, stopped talking, and walked out of the Shili Pavilion and got on the horse.

Xu He looked at the man's back, and left the pavilion for a long time, came to the tea shed opposite the pavilion, and said to a man and a woman sitting in the tea shed: "Mr. Zili, Miss Su, are you here to see me off?" ”

Tan Lun looked at Xu He, then at the person who was far away, and smiled: "I heard that Zunhua is training, I want to go and see it!" ”

Xu He nodded: "Please!" ”

"Please!"
