Yuan Wei saw King Jing's angry face, sighed, and persuaded, "Why is Your Highness doing this?"

King Jing said indignantly: "I was obviously invited to give a speech to the competition, but before the king gave a speech, I made such a bad thing, and the discerning person knew at a glance that this was deliberately sweeping the face of the king!"

Yuan Wei said: "Always under the watchful eye of the public, His Highness must learn to control anger." ”

King Jing said: "Look at what they did just now? Accept the cheers of the crowd! Is this the way of the ministers? How can I control my anger?"

Yuan Wei said: "Daomen monk, where can you claim to be a human minister? Your Highness doesn't know it now. ”

King Jing asked: "In Yuan's opinion, how about Lonely? Do you endure it, or do you report it to your father?"

Yuan Wei smiled and said: "Your Highness's anger is also the reason why Zhao Zhiran is too popular with the people, and His Highness should put the people's will first." ”

King Jing was silent for a moment after hearing this, waved his hand, and said goodbye to Yuan Wei.

It didn't take long to return to King Jing's Mansion on the west side of the Imperial City, and after returning to the house, King Jing sat alone and muttered for a long time, and immediately repaired a book and sent it to Yang Yiqing's mansion, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

After Yang Yiqing received the letter, he thought for a moment, took out a post, and said to the housekeeper: "Go and invite Shangyuan County to the house." ”

The housekeeper went to Shangyuan County Ya and was told that Liang County was in Xuantan Palace, so he rushed to Xuantanfang, only to see people coming and going at the palace gate, and all kinds of people were in and out, and he was a little at a loss for a while. Fortunately, I met Liang Youhe's confidant master, and the master asked: "Lord Yang is in a hurry to pass on the proprietor of my family, if the matter is urgent, I will ask the proprietor to go over immediately, if not, please ask the housekeeper to wait a while." ”

"Is Liang Xianzun visiting which Taoist of Xuantan Palace?"

"That's not, the proprietor of my family is passing through the hall, didn't he sweep away the thieves who stole the paving bricks and stones a while ago, and arrested dozens of them in one go, and as a result, the case led to several empirical evidence of the Beijing bandit Jin Shilun, hehe, this famous Liang gang leader was finally caught, this time the evidence is ironclad, and he can't get rid of it anymore, it's really happy. I don't know how many people applauded and waited for the result, and my proprietor was trying this case inside......"

The housekeeper was a little confused, and said in his heart Why did the trial come to the palace? But he still adhered to his duty and suppressed his curiosity, but said: "Please take a look, sir, if the case is really in a critical place, I will go back to inform the master, if it can be slowed down, I will wait here." ”

The master said, "Then I'll take a look." ”

After a while, Liang Youhe came out accompanied by the master and asked the housekeeper, "The teacher summons the students, but there is an emergency?"

The housekeeper replied: "The villain should be damned, it delayed the county respect's case, but my lord said to wait in the house......

Liang Youhe asked the master to prepare a sedan chair and said to the housekeeper: "The teacher has an urgent matter, so I will go over now." ”

Yang Yiqing was the main examiner of Liang Youhe's township examination, Liang Youhe saw him and gave him a protégé gift, Yang Yiqing was not polite, and asked directly: "What does the civilized city evaluation mean?"

Liang Youhe told the matter and asked, "Could it be that the teacher has an acquaintance who has been taken?" and asked for instructions, and the student went back and ordered the release. ”

Yang Yiqing shook his head and said: "What I want to ask is, since the first month of last year, the Daomen has transferred the power of general affairs to the imperial court, why do you want to interfere at this time? Why did you obey orders again? If you can't screw the Xuantan Palace, why don't you report to the government office? Even if Wang Zongyi doesn't dare to take care of it, the imperial court has its own imperial court to make decisions for you!"

Liang Youhe thought for a while and said, "The general affairs are the main affairs, and the Daomen is indeed not interfering......"

Yang Yiqing said unhappily: "Do you still say that there is no interference? It is paving roads and ditches, and creating a civilized city, and you still say that there is no interference?"

Liang Youhe explained: "Teacher, paving roads and repairing ditches is what Shifang Jungle does, with Xuantan Palace taking the lead, Shangyuan and Jiangning counties only sent some officials to help maintain order. ”

"Where does the money come from to pave roads and build ditches, and where does the manpower come from? Isn't this a common job?"

"Teacher, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here. The silver is not allocated by the imperial court, and Shangyuan County has not requisitioned a family so far, and the students use black yarn hats as a guarantee, which is made by the Xuantan Palace with real money. ”

"Xuantan Palace takes silver?"

"Yes, I heard that it was specially sponsored by the Charity Fund of the Practice Ball Lottery. ”

Yang Yiqing was stunned, and then asked: "What about the creation of a civilized city?"

"This is also voluntary, and Xuantan Palace has no intention of forcing you to sign up for the evaluation. ”

"Why are you so active?"

Liang Youhe smiled and said: "If you can be rated as a civilized city, Xuantan Palace promises, and a county will give a reward of two thousand taels of silver......

"A county reward of two thousand silver, that's not worth your eagerness, is it?"

"Teacher, it is a special head reward for the Taoist Academy and the government office, not a public expense, as long as you get the title, you can pay ten taels per capita within three months, which is almost equivalent to half a year's salary. You said that if I was not allowed to participate in the evaluation, then I would not be scolded to death?"

Yang Yiqing frowned and asked, "This silver is also a charity fund sponsorship?"

Liang Youhe said: "Exactly." ”

Yang Yiqing continued to ask: "What do you say about the soaring land prices along the river?"

Liang Youhe's heart jumped, and he secretly said What is the teacher doing? Is it that he doesn't know whether he wants to have a hard fight with Abbot Zhao? He has shared a great benefit in it, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense at will, and his mind is in a hurry, so he simply pushed it away: "This matter seems to be related to the recent rumors about the construction of the bridge, such a major event, it is not for students to comment at will, and I ask the teacher to forgive me." ”

Yang Yiqing thought about it, and it was no longer difficult for his protégé, so he let him go.

After thinking about it for a long time, he took another post and called the housekeeper: "Quickly send it to Wang Shilang's mansion." ”

The housekeeper took the post and asked, "Is the master talking about Wang Fuyin?"

"Exactly, go now, remember, get the letter and go home. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly went, waited until late at night before returning, and told Yang Yiqing: "Wang Fuyin is busy outside for a day, and he will return at the right time, he said that he didn't dare to be the master to come to the door in person, he will come to visit tomorrow afternoon, and ask the master for advice in person." ”

Yang Yiqing nodded, Wang Zongyi is still very acquainted, knowing that he, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is Jian Zai's important minister, and he is expected to be pushed into the cabinet in the future, and he is quite respectful in terms of etiquette, so that many things will be easy to do tomorrow.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Zongyi really came to the door obediently, according to the rank, the two were at the same level, so Yang Yiqing opened the main door and invited Wang Zongyi into the mansion.

After a few words of greeting and two cups of fragrant tea, Yang Yiqing tentatively entered the topic: "I heard that in the area of Linjiang outside the city, land prices have soared in recent days, more than double that at the beginning of the year, has Wang Fu Yin heard of it?"

Wang Zongyi nodded and said, "Since February, the price of land along the river has been rising, what's the matter?"
