With the warm wind of spring, the two young eunuchs on duty squinted at the falling sun, and were a little sleepy for a while, but now was by no means the time to sleep back, so they only dared to look cautiously at the four directions to make sure that they would not be discovered, and then bowed their heads and yawned.

"I don't understand what's going on inside. But listening to the movement inside, it looks like a fight is about to start. The eunuch on the left asked curiously.

It was the first time he was on duty outside this hall today, and he felt a little itchy in his heart when he thought that the big people in Jing Wu were talking about things they couldn't touch in their lifetime.

The eunuch on the right has obviously seen a lot of the market, so he is naturally not surprised by the situation of a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days, and even finds it boring.

"It seems that they are all scolding Lord Zhou, it is said that the school government arrested the guards of Mr. Gao two days ago, and the crime is intended to rebel, so all the adults are unhappy, saying that the rebellion is completely false, and Lord Zhou is clearly relying on the power of the school office to collect charges and be arrogant. ”

"Lord Zhou"

The eunuch on the left was slightly surprised, of course he had seen Zhou Gongjin, after all, Zhou Gongjin, as the school minister, entered the palace to report to Zhuge Wanling, "Where is he arrogant and domineering That night, I gave him a lantern to guide the way, and we all talked and laughed along the way, and I felt much better than those old adults with eyes above the top." ”

The eunuch on the right shook his head: "Who knows, maybe Lord Zhou is in the palace because he has a good temper, and he may be arrogant when he leaves the palace." ”

The eunuch on the left had a complicated expression, seemed to have thought about it, and said in a low voice: "I still don't think Lord Zhou will be a domineering person." ”

"Either those adults just want to slander Lord Zhou, anyway, there is always a reason. Listen, they all jointly want to dismiss Lord Zhou's officials, anyway, this court has not been born for a few days all year round. ”

The eunuch on the right is older, so he speaks with a bit of seniority: "You, you are still too young, and when you listen to it a lot, it will not be strange." These adults are very mysterious, sometimes they say they are eating watermelon, but in fact they may want to eat peaches, and sometimes they are standing and farting, maybe they want to sit and. ”

"I don't understand what watermelon again. The eunuch on the left said with a sad face: "But when you say this, I am a little hungry, I only had time to eat a bowl of porridge in the morning, and now my stomach is empty." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the eunuch's hand on his right move, like a nimble snake reaching into his sleeve, and the rough touch came, as if it was something familiar in his memory, and then the graininess of the sesame seeds made him quickly understand what it was.

He was nervous for a while, and immediately widened his eyes, looking around for fear of being discovered by others, but his hand involuntarily grasped the piece of cake.

"Where did you get the bread?"

"Hehe, I don't know, so I said you're still too qualified. The eunuch on the right shook his head proudly, "I can tell you, even if there is nothing to do on weekdays, we have to stand for a long time, in case the master is unhappy, it is common for a day and a night not to rest, when you are so hungry that your heart is close to your back, who to complain to so, remember to stuff more snacks on your body, maybe when it will come in handy." ”

The eunuch on the left was still nervous: "This is not good, what if it is discovered, it will be killed"

"What are you afraid of, keep a snack, don't eat in front of people, even if others guess it, they have always turned a blind eye, you see those forbidden army guards, come and go, who doesn't carry something in their arms, everyone is doing things in the palace, and they can't get along with us for such a trivial matter. ”

probably felt that the eunuch on the left was too bold, and the eunuch on the right squinted his eyes and added: "What's more, our life is not bad, and we have met a good master." The prime minister is a generous master, and he bumped into me several times to steal food, and he didn't blame him, and even once gave us two dishes that he hadn't used, I haven't tasted the dishes made by the imperial chef when I'm so old, that's really tsk."

As if persuaded by his words, the eunuch on the left finally moved cautiously, although the cake seemed to have been left for a long time, but still exuded the aroma of sesame seeds, he took a bite gently, his mouth was already full of the taste of food, and suddenly the whole person was refreshed, and his eyes lit up.

"The prime minister is indeed a good person, I heard that there was a king in Wu in the past, and he was angry with people on weekdays, but later in order to make the concubine smile, he began to shoot the servants with bows and arrows, and many people died at one time. ”

He didn't dare to chew for fear of making a sound, so he could only moisten it with saliva and swallow the cake into his stomach.

After swallowing a few bites, he seemed to think of something, and said a little gloomily: "It's a pity, such a good person, who can take care of the people and can calm hundreds of officials, but he has such a poor body, I heard that he is critically ill several times, and now he is hanging his life with the miracle medicine of the divine doctor, alas, God is really cruel and unreasonable."

At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall again, and it seemed that some civil officials began to scold fiercely, among which there were many quotations and scriptures, and these two eunuchs who had never read the book naturally heard it in a fog.

But the two of them also heard a rough idea, and they were still accusing Zhou Gongjin of how treacherous, how to behave recklessly, and not showing up on such an important day as the court meeting, simply despising the court, the crime is unforgivable, and he deserves to be beheaded.

The two eunuchs secretly stammered, thinking that things seemed to be big today, and it was said that the Gao family and the army were involved.

In fact, that Gong Wu did not smuggle or hide armor privately, but had been doing business with horse dealers privately for Old Man Gao, buying some good breeds of the Northern Barbarians, and then selling them to the army for breeding at a low price, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as doing his part for the country.

After all, the entire Northern Barbarian did not dare to sell war horses to Jing Wu under Cao Meng's ban, except for the three thousand war horses generously sent by Canghai at the beginning, the other Beiban horses could only be obtained through various secret means.

Of course, according to the law, Gong Wu is still guilty and should be arrested.

But even if Zhuge Wanling doesn't look at the face of the Gao family, he has to consider whether doing so will chill the hearts of a group of people who are loyal to the country.

However, the two eunuchs naturally didn't think deeply, they only felt that it had only been three days since the incident happened, why did Zhou Gongjin just say that he was sick today and did not come to the court, obviously to avoid the insults of these adults, it was really witty.

However, the two eunuchs probably couldn't imagine that today's Zhou Gongjin really didn't mean to call him sick, he was sick, and he was not lightly ill. x

In the school office, Qin Ke looked at Zhou Gongjin's pale face and the tightly wrapped quilt on his body, and for a while he was a little skeptical that the person in front of him could continue to finish speaking, but looking at his appearance, he really had the taste of "bowing to death and dying".

"Gong Wu can't stay for long, he has to get him out of prison as soon as possible. This time it was also a big fuss, and someone was arrested, but it turned out that it was not a case of private armor, if I hadn't been able to go to court today, I was afraid that I would have been drowned by the spit of hundreds of officials. Zhou Gongjin lowered his head, stretched out one hand from the quilt, and held the case file tremblingly, as if he was a little helpless about this result.

The tiger stood beside Qin Ke with some shame, almost buried his head in the ground, and said in a low voice: "It's the fault of the subordinates, the subordinates are not careful, and they let the adults take on this matter, and I implore the adults to play the mistakes of their subordinates, and if they want to kill or chop, let them go."

Zhou Gongjin was naturally clear about the cause and effect of the matter, so he didn't blame it, but scolded with a smile: "I haven't done this yet." What's more, I am your chief officer, and I can't even bear this little thing, how can I serve the people in the future. Actually, I don't think you made a mistake, the investigation of the case is not accurate, and Gong Wu is indeed suspicious, plus that sachet, it is inevitable to ask for an understanding. ”

It's just that he still sighed and said, "However, this matter is far more complicated than it seems on the surface, so the most difficult thing now should be the prime minister's side." ”

Qin Ke also frowned and said: "Yes, this operation caused five deaths and thirteen injuries under the barbarian named Kartai, I'm afraid that under Kartai's anger, the business of this northern barbarian horse will not be able to be done." I also heard that Kaltai was born in the Pasu tribe, the third tribe of the steppe, and had some ties with the Khan. If he were allowed to go back this time, it would not affect the position of the Napasu Khan against Jing Wu, and if their Khan ordered that the herdsmen were not allowed to sell horses to Jing Wu privately, it would be difficult for Jing Wu to buy good horses from these horse dealers in the future. ”

If it continues to develop like this, the courtiers will have even more reason to impeach Zhou Gongjin, and even use this as a point to directly attack the entire school office.

And the faction of scholars led by Sun Ji'an has always regarded the school administration as a thorn in the flesh, if they can find a way to uproot it, they will definitely spare no effort
