Chen Sanlang followed the other party back to the yamen, and saw Zhou Fencao pacing back and forth in the lobby, looking worried. When he heard footsteps, he quickly raised his head and hurried to meet >

"Your Excellency. ”

After a pause: "You all go down first." ”

Arresting the officials and other knowledge, they retired one after another, and soon, there were only Zhou Fencao and Chen Sanlang left in the hall.

Zhou Fencao took out a letter closely: "My lord, please take a look." ”

Chen Saburo took it, opened it, and read it carefully.

This letter was sent from Chang'an by a friend of Zhou Fencao's - Zhou Fencao had many old friends, and some friends were officials in the capital, so he could get news.

The letter was written with very unfavorable news: the emperor was seriously ill and had been unable to serve as a council member for a whole month.

Under such circumstances, the minds of the ruling and opposition people fluctuated and were very uneasy.

In the past, this emperor was also the master of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and did not manage the government very well. But then again, as long as he is in the palace well, he is equivalent to a banner, at least he can be suppressed. However, once there is a physical problem, then many incidents that are already about to be started will immediately erupt.

The emperor's physical problems have been rumored for some time. and did not set up a prince, which caused the princes below to fight openly and secretly, and the government and the opposition were also divided into factions, attacking each other, and it was very messy.

Zhou Fencao's friend said in his letter that many ministers had been imprisoned in the factional struggle, and he also felt panicked, and even had the idea of resigning and returning to his hometown to avoid the disaster......

This letter has already been read by Zhou Fencao. Therefore, I was worried, and when I saw Chen Sanlang come back, I felt slightly stable: it is not difficult to imagine. The current Chang'an must be a huge whirlpool, the water is turbulent, and if people are not careful, they will be involved in it and suffer the disaster of death.

"I want to be the title of the gold list of adults, and the emperor will favor and appreciate it. What a glorious way to be appointed as the champion? However, he is bent on being released as an official. I would rather come back and be a seven-rank county magistrate than serve as a higher-grade and easier to promote in Beijing, but I had already expected it. So go away?"

Inexplicably, Zhou Fencao swept over such thoughts: If this is the case, Chen Sanlang's maturity is beyond imagination, and he does not look like an up-and-coming young scholar at all.

"Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in Tianzitang", the situation is very different, not to mention young people, even older people, I am afraid it is difficult to maintain calm and calm.

You must know the dynasties and dynasties. When the imperial examination results were released, it was not uncommon for students to be ecstatic and unrestrained because they heard that they were in high school, and even had symptoms of madness. There is even more overjoy. simply fell to the ground and staged a scene of joy and sorrow.

Chen Sanlang was the top student in high school, but he was very calm, and Long Jun was invited in his dream to write a "Story of Yueyang Tower", which should be a reflection: not to be happy with things. Don't feel sorry for yourself.

It's easy to say, it's really going to be done. It's just too hard, it's too hard.

Therefore, after this article was circulated, many "seniors" in Shilin said quite sourly that Chen Sanlang wrote this article just to flaunt his high reputation and reputation.

However, the more Zhou Fencao got in touch with Chen Sanlang, the more he felt that he did have many differences, but the specifics, and he felt that he was in the fog and saw flowers, and he was finally separated. After all, Chen Sanlang has always been outside the yamen, with full authority, and has never sat in the hall seriously.

He is a county magistrate, but he doesn't look like an official, but Zhou Fencao clearly understands that Chen Sanlang is the irreplaceable backbone of this county government.

After reading the letter and putting down the letter, Chen Sanlang's face couldn't see anything.

Zhou Fencao couldn't help but say: "My lord, the emperor is seriously ill, this matter must not be hidden, maybe Yangzhou has already known about it." ”

Speaking of this, my heart suddenly >

Since Chen Sanlang took office, one danger after another, and there is more and more unscrupulous, could it be that Yuan Wenchang has long known that the emperor will die soon?

As we all know, it was the emperor who arranged for Chen Sanlang to serve as the county magistrate of Jing County, and used the holy decree sword as a talisman, so even if Yuan Wenchang regarded him as a thorn in his side, he would not directly tear his face unless he rebelled.

But once the emperor died, the situation would be turned upside down. Not to mention whether Yuan Wenchang has different intentions, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Chen Sanlang will lose his biggest backer.

Zhou Fencao couldn't help but worry, he was now in the same boat with Chen Sanlang, and if the boat sank, he would die together. Death, he is not afraid, the key ambition is not rewarded, how can he be willing?

"What do you think, sir?"

Chen Sanlang looked over calmly.

Zhou Fencao replied: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?"

He didn't say it, believing that Chen Sanlang must have understood the meaning.

Chen Sanlang understood and said slowly: "Not necessarily. ”

"Not necessarily?"

Zhou Fencao was a little confused.

"Hehe, Yuan Thorn Shi is a person who does big things, the more this time, the more he has to plan, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to our remote town. ”

Zhou Fencao's body trembled: "What do you mean...... Do they really dare to usurp?"

The voice was a little shaky.

For many old-school Confucians, their thinking habits are often difficult to turn, and they always feel that the dynasty will not change from generation to generation.

Zhou Fencao is already relatively civilized, but some things are still difficult to accept for a while.

Chen Sanlang said word for word: "Xia Yu lost the deer, this world is going to be chaotic." ”

This is the first time that he confessed his "heart-wrenching words" in front of Zhou Fencao, without concealment.

Airplanes!

Zhou Fencao only felt a bang in his head, his body lost strength, and he sat down on the chair, panting heavily.

Chen Sanlang's words were simply equivalent to thunder, sounding in a silent place, shocking the heart.

......

Yangzhou at night is prosperous and unchanged.

Yangzhou General Ya, Yuan Wenchang sat upright, meticulous. At this moment, his body was neatly draped and full of armor, as if the next moment, he would be able to run out of the yamen, ride a horse and dance a sword, and go into battle to kill the enemy.

Yuan Wenchang has been in Rong for many years, and he has countless blood, and there is naturally a killing aura on his body. Now the heavy armor is draped, and the momentum is even more impressive, like a big mountain, suppressed on the general office, suppressed on the entire Yangzhou.

Yangzhou Taishou Wang should know that he was sitting below, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Yuan Wenchang didn't speak, as if he was waiting for something.

Wang should know what Lord Assassin Shi is waiting for, about Chang'an, about the emperor, or, about others.

However, no matter what it is, no one else should speak.

In recent days, Lord Assassin's treatment of his beloved son Yuan Geshu was like a thunderclap, which shocked the hearts and livers of the officials below.

Yuan Geshu has been smart since childhood, good at reading, has a strategy, and is very happy, and he held an important position in Huweiwei at a young age, and was called "Young General".

Over the years, he has been regarded by many staff members as the successor of Lord Assassin. Therefore, there have always been many local officials and staff members who have shown affection to Yuan Geshu, as if they had achieved a set of teams, waiting for Yuan Wenchang's old age to decline.

Of course, if Yuan Wenchang had something to warm up and had an accident, Yuan Geshu would be able to replace him immediately.

However, just after the end of this year, Yuan Geshu was suddenly confined, and the henchmen around him had accidents one by one, the most recent example is Mo Xuanyi.

Suddenly, everyone realized that things were not like that: Yuan Wenchang was not that old, and with his military cultivation, he could still maintain his energy for many years. And in such a situation, the people below leaned towards Yuan Geshu one after another, and they were committing a great taboo.

In the royal family, breaking taboos is equivalent to death, and although the Yuan family is not as good as the royal family, it is obviously moving closer to that aspect, and many principles of order are even harsher.

Everyone woke up like a dream, couldn't help but shed a cold sweat, and hurriedly carried out various remedial measures.

Yuan Wenchang's treatment of Yuan Geshu also conveyed a layer of meaning: I can be merciless to my beloved son, let alone treat outsiders?

I don't know how long it took, but the candle burning in the hall suddenly exploded into a spark.

Wow!

Someone shouted, "Eagle Feather Guard has a secret message to report." ”

In Yangzhou, the Tiger Weiwei is a weapon for conquest, and the Eagle Feather Guard is the intelligence system.

"Submit it. ”

Soon, an eagle-feathered guard stepped up to the hall and handed over a letter sealed in red paint.

Yuan Wenchang opened it himself, glanced at it, and suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, looking in a good mood, and then said loudly: "Shi Mazi is the opposite." ”

Wang Yingzhi heard it, and it was clear that what Lord Assassin was waiting for was finally waiting, but there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and he sighed secretly: This world is in chaos!
