Led by Ji Yunzhang, he crouched on the desk and frowned, looking quite focused, not noticing Xiao Chen's arrival at all.

Someone still reminded him slightly, and Ji Yunzhang noticed it, and got up to greet him in hindsight: "Lord Xiao, why are you here?" ”

"Could it be that something is wrong with us?"

After all, Xiao Chen is a person from Dongchang, specializing in rectifying civil and military officials for the emperor.

Xiao Chen quipped: "You are so conscientious, where can something go wrong?" ”

"To tell you the truth, this time I specially asked you to discuss, I don't know if I have time to talk alone?"

Ji Yunzhang naturally had no reason to refuse, after all, Xiao Chen was his own Bole.

Without him, would he have the opportunity to serve the court?

No matter how busy you are, you have to find time!

Bringing Xiao Chen to the guest room, Ji Yunzhang also thoughtfully dismissed all the people who were waiting, and personally poured a cup of tea for him.

"Lord Xiao, please."

Such a deferential attitude made Xiao Chen a little embarrassed.

He took the tea, didn't beat around the bush, and said what Chen Jin meant.

"What!"

Ji Yunzhang, who had never been a Sven, let out a piercing roar.

Xiao Chen held the teacup in his hand, and almost shook it out in fright.

He hurriedly put the cup on the table and said comfortingly: "Don't get excited, just mention it, the result is not certain." ”

Visible to the naked eye, Ji Yunzhang's face full of righteousness looks particularly gloomy at the moment.

He immediately got up, and his previous politeness was gone.

His angry eyes pointed at Xiao Chen, mixed with an angry voice, generous and powerful: "It turns out that you deliberately promoted me just to be a lackey for Chen Jin with you!" ”

Ji Yunzhang's angry face tightened, and he didn't hide his emotions, "Lord Xiao, if I had known that this was the result, I wouldn't have accepted your kindness." ”

"I thought you weren't as ridiculous as the outside world rumored, but now it seems that I'm deceiving myself and believing you wrong!"

Xiao Chen didn't speak, letting him vent his emotions with his head and face.

He is used to seeing Chen Jin, but he can't help himself in the game.

After his breath calmed down a little, Xiao Chen interjected: "I know that you are angry in your heart, but how can you do whatever you want?" ”

He got up slowly, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and a dull voice sounded: "Today's imperial court has formed a trend of a new pattern, and we are now struggling. ”

"You have a righteous heart, and I may not be the one who blindly obeys, but you have to see the situation clearly."

"If you want to maintain your dignity and justice in the chaos, you must first grow up and stand firm!"

Xiao Chen did things and never thought about explaining to anyone, but this time he made an exception and said a few words to Ji Yunzhang.

He turned his head, looked at Ji Yunzhang head-on, and said meaningfully: "The so-called too rigid and easy to break, your current insistence is nothing more than to set up enemies and fulfill your integrity, but those who have been evil for a long time, what's the point of being at ease?" ”

"If you really trust me, then listen to what I say, confuse the public first, and grow up quietly in the darkness of forbearance."

"As for your surrenders and pursuits, keep them in your heart for the time being, and there will always be a time when you can make great achievements."

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

The Son of Heaven indulges Chen Jin's misdeeds, the king of a country is not a good bird, who else can he expect to support himself?

It's nothing more than an empty air, meaningless!

What Xiao Chen said was not unreasonable, and Ji Yunzhang stood in place, his expression moved.

The Ji family is also considered a royal family, and its status is higher than that of the eight major families.

It was because of Chu Yanwu's suppression that they fell into the middle of the road.

As the leader of the new generation of the family, Ji Yunzhang also wants to make contributions and regain the glory of the family.

As Xiao Chen said, it is easy to break if it is too rigid......

He has just sat on the position of a high-ranking official, and when he is showing his skills and taking revenge, how can he be willing to return to the past without anything.

The atmosphere was a little dreary.

After thinking about it again and again, Ji Yunzhang finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, focus on the overall situation, I promise you!" ”

His eyes were blazing, firm and focused, and he said meaningfully to Xiao Chen: "Lord Xiao, my ambition is to be a country and a people, not to be a lackey and be in cahoots with him. ”

"Of course, I'm sure you too."

When the voice fell, Ji Yunzhang had a little more expectation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Xiao Chen to give him a positive response.

However, he didn't say anything, just smiled lightly.

Whether people are good or bad, where is their own decision.

Obeying the heart is what the heart wants, even if it is to be a person or a dog, you have to see and judge the situation.

According to Xiao Chen's request, when he went to the court, Ji Yunzhang also mentioned the matter of increasing the autumn tax by the way, but was opposed by many ministers.

Ji Yunzhang knew that he was just taking the lead, and those words could not be resolved under the resistance of civil and military officials.

When I went back, I deliberately talked to Xiao Chen, "Overseer, I did my best, as for whether it can be implemented in the end, it depends on what tricks Chen Jin has left behind, and we can't help it." ”

"It doesn't matter."

The two walked side by side, Xiao Chen looked at the distant sky, and couldn't help sighing: "People's ambitions and desires swell, sometimes bigger than the sky. If greed is not worthy of power, it is not something we can control. ”

When Ji Yunzhang heard this, his heart was shocked.

"Overseer...... You're talking about it! ”

"Take your time." Xiao Chen patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Yes." Ji Yunzhang responded earnestly.

A few days passed, and the news of the land annexation soon spread in the capital.

Among them, the people who were victims were the most angry, and various channels sought justice, and this matter was not small.

It's just that Chen Jin has been acting in secret, suppressing the anger of those people.

Mortals are a little tricky, but the thought of the white silver that will keep bubbling out like a spring makes it all matter.

Of course, although the common people are indignant, those merchants and wealthy nobles see the essence through the phenomenon.

Although this matter has a great impact, it is more earned.

Especially those big families, who doesn't love interests, and who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie?

I heard that the Jin family had taken the lead and sent beauties to Xiao Chen's house, and they also began to move.

Although Xiao Chen is only the overseer of Dongchang, he is completely incomparable with Chen Jin, who represents the emperor, and Zhang Dongyang, who is high in Zaifu.

"Well, but in their hearts, Bento is an important dog."

In Xiao's mansion, eating the grapes fed by Ji Hongluan, Xiao Chen was analyzing this matter with her, "But the advantage of this governor is that he can easily mix between Chen Jin and the two characters.

"Therefore, whether you want to show favor to Zhang Dongyang or Chen Jin, it is not surprising that you should have a good relationship with the governor first anyway."

"So, you're just going to let it go? It is said that the wind of gifts to you is blowing all over the world now, and it is not good for your reputation. ”

Xiao Chen pinched her face, feeling that this girl's question today was too cute, "Reputation? The first day you met me, when did I ever care about this? ”

"Let them toss, Ben is too lazy to care."

As the wind blew stronger and stronger, the Song family, led by the salt industry, also became the second family to attack after the Jin family.

In Xiao Chen's private residence, Ji Hongluan told about the recent rumors in the capital.

Xiao Chen ate the grapes, as if everything had been expected, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

At this time, there was a report from the doorman, "Master, the Song family, who claims to be one of the eight great families, has sent a prayer post." ”

Xiao Chen sat up straight, and Ji Hongluan sent the prayer note to him.

It doesn't seem to be made of paper, and the golden ones are even reflective.

Xiao Chen confirmed it repeatedly, and was shocked: "I'll go, the Song family is rich enough, and the worship posts are all made of gold!" ”
