When I got to the back, before I got to the stable, I heard a "yuyu" horse chirping, which was rouge, and the sound contained disgruntled anger.

Chen Tang couldn't help but speed up a few steps.

Yang Zichu was not in a hurry, swept over and glanced at it, noncommittal. Since he was a child, he was cultivated by his father Yang Linhe, and he has made great achievements. In his opinion, although Chen Tang is talented and knowledgeable, both civil and military, after all, he is just a fledgling young man and has no background to rely on. As long as a little means are used, Chen Tang can be taken to death.

Convincing people with virtue is what literati love to do; the true way of officialdom is to the letter, and it is to oppress people with power.

Domineering and suppression are the essence of official morale.

In the hall just now, Yang Zichu directly gave a choice, Chen Tang either married Yang Qiuxue or was dismissed. He didn't believe that Chen Tang would be willing to give up his hard-won official hat and give up getting married.

Besides, although her own sister was born in martial arts, she has a pungent temperament and is a little arrogant. But the facial features are also considered to be weekly, and the figure is not bad. Marrying her is equivalent to leaning on the big tree of the Yang family, and you can enjoy glory and wealth.

The trade-offs are self-evident.

As for his sweetheart or something, Yang Zichu doesn't have such a concept in his heart at all. A man is a big man, and he never cares about the relationship between children and daughters. Compared with the splendid future, not to mention the person you like, it is your wife, and you can also throw it away and ignore it.

When I arrived at the stable, I saw Yang Qiuxue pulling the reins vigorously to pull the rouge out. However, where is this mare willing? If he had to get Chen Tang's order, when he was in the yamen, he was not allowed to easily show his demons, and he would have to run out at this moment and trample on the other party with his hooves raised.

"Stop!"

Chen Tang shouted, "Miss Yang, why are you dragging my horse?"

Seeing him coming, Yang Qiuxue let go and said stupidly: "I saw that this horse was good, so I wanted to pull it out and ride it, what's the matter, do you have an opinion?"

Chen Tang said: "Taking it without asking is the work of a thief." ”

Yang Qiuxue raised her eyebrows: "Wow, you guy, you want to rebel before you pass the door, you dare to call me a thief and beg for a beating!"

She has always been willful and spicy, and when she saw Chen Tang disobeying her will, she was about to get angry.

"Third sister, say less. ”

Yang Zichu spoke: "We ran all the way and were a little tired, so we went to the barracks to rest first." ”

Yang Qiuxue said coquettishly: "I want to live in Yamen." ”

Yang Zichu smiled: "I can move here in two days, but now, let's go out first." Master Chen needs to be quiet alone. ”

Yang Qiuxue pouted dissatisfiedly, but she still obeyed and followed Yang Zichu out.

Chen Tang came over and reached out to stroke the horse's head to soothe its emotions. Rouge snorted and his hooves stomped on the ground, as if to express something.

The Yang brothers and sisters came here, and it was clear that they wanted the birds to occupy the dove's nest, but they were not pressed too hard at the moment, so they gave three days to think about it. But the intentions are obvious. Yang Zichu kept saying that he cherished talents, and Chen Tang believed this. After all, if you want to achieve a career, manpower is indispensable.

In fact, since Chen Tang was in high school, there has been an endless stream of forces extending olive branches to him, but Chen Tang has always been reluctant to get involved in those intrigues, so he did not make any choices.

However, life is a multiple-choice question. And many times, you think there are many options, but in the end, you have only one way to go. He suddenly remembered what Zhan Yangchun said to him that day: "In officialdom, there is never much choice, either standing here or there." Those who want to be alone and have the right and left will only suffer from the enemy. ”

This is very reasonable.

Chen Tang also thought about coming to Nanfu County, being a diligent director, governing the people's livelihood, and being a beloved parent official. It's just that many times, many things, are destined to exist only in fantasy.

Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten.

However, I'm not happy!

Chen Tang's eyes swept over the essence and strode out.

"Your Excellency. ”

Wang Mo walked over head-on and lowered his voice: "There are a lot of soldiers guarding outside, it looks like they are imprisoning us." ”

Chen Tang glanced at him and suddenly said, "Master Wang, thank you for the sword." ”

Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Chen Tang suddenly talked about this stubble, and hurriedly said: "My lord will do justice for me, that's how it should be." ”

Chen Tang said again: "This master, I'm afraid you won't be able to be it." ”

When Wang Mo heard this, his expression changed, and he said, "My lord, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"You and I are guests, and parting is imminent, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wang Mo sighed: "I look at this situation, it is quite bad, life will be difficult. There are some things that can be endured and forgotten. The big husband can bend and stretch, and he will not fight for a moment. ”

He said it sincerely, and it was indeed from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Tang knew that he was very tolerant, and he could swallow his anger under the bullying of his wife by the spirits. He stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I understand what you mean, but the future of the yamen is unclear at present, and it is not good for you to stay here, I hope you understand." ”

Wang Mo nodded: "I know, thank you for your trust during this time." So I went, went home and continued my studies to see if there was still a chance to gain fame. ”

The relationship between the master's staff and the officials is a private employment relationship, and the money and food they receive are also distributed by the officials, not by the imperial court. Now Chen Tang is facing a dilemma and can't take care of other things, so he dismissed Wang Mo. And Wang Mo said that he would go back to study and continue to test his fame, but Chen Tang knew that this road had been broken. At least in the past ten years, it is no longer possible. However, there is only one way to go in front of Wang Mo.

It was because Chen Tang didn't say anything to hit him, people can live and live strongly, if they can have a hope.

Seeing Wang Mo away, Chen Tang called Guo Chang to follow Ah Lai and told him to set off and go to Ningzhou Mansion to meet Ah Bao.

Ah Lai didn't know why, but he listened to Childe's words and didn't ask much. Before leaving, Chen Tang wrote another letter and asked Ah Lai to take it, and when he saw Ah Bao, let him watch it, and he would know what to do.

First Wang Mo, and then to Alai, this is a proper arrangement made by Chen Tang to the people around him within his ability, and it is also to reduce his worries. On that day, he asked Su Ling and others to follow Yan Huandan, which was a kind of precautionary calculation. As for other things, when everyone goes outside, what their fate is, it is not up to Chen Tang to control it.

The people guarding the yamen were ordered to pay close attention to Chen Tang's whereabouts, and they didn't care much about other people. After all, now on the surface, they haven't torn each other apart and made a fuss. There are still politeness on the surface.

Returning to the room, Chen Tang couldn't calm down, and wrote several words one after another. The mind is uncertain, the pen and ink are scattered, and it is unsightly. I also wanted to close my eyes and recuperate my breath, but it was still fruitless. He only felt irritable inside, as if there was a fire suffocating inside. Looking back on what happened to him in officialdom since he took office, it was like a bird trapped in a cage, and everything he did was not happy. There is always a layer of invisible but touchable cages, surrounded by him. Like a net, like a fence, and he is in it, he is a trapped beast who only waits for Zhao'an and accepts grievances.

Thinking about it boringly, Chen Tang went to the practice room, no matter what, he first practiced the "Nine Extreme Techniques", and used all his strength, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his heart.

Whew!

The fist roared and the breath flew.

Bang bang bang!

With each pedaling, the solid floor was trampled into a spider's web-like crack. After a while, there was no place on the floor of the huge room intact.

I don't know how long it took to wave, but when the last drop of breath was consumed, Chen Tang fell to the ground with a crackle, gasping for breath, sweating profusely, and soon soaking wet.

The practice room began to get dark, probably in the evening.

Chen Tang was hungry and sleepy, but he didn't want to move, so he wanted to lie on the ground here forever.

After a while, light poured in through the window. It's moonlight, and tonight's moonlight is exceptionally bright.

The moonlight fell on Chen Tang's front door, very soft, not dazzling.

In an instant, he inexplicably entered the state of unity between heaven and man, as if he had realized, he jumped up suddenly, took the broken jade sword that was put aside, drew the sword out of its sheath, and chanted: "Those who abandon me will not stay yesterday, and those who disturb my heart will be troubled by today......

The moon is gradually rising in the middle of the sky, and the huge yamen is quiet.

Suddenly, in the back house, there was a loud bang. But seeing Chen Tang break out of the practice room, holding a long sword, with a smile on his eyebrows, bathed in the moonlight, he chanted in his mouth: "Life is not satisfactory in the world, the Ming Dynasty will spread flat boats!"
