Everyone Knows I am a Good Man

Ji Changze looked around and found that this was obviously going to court, in addition to the minister who was pointing at his nose and cursing, there were also a bunch of onlookers, and an angry emperor.

"presumptuous!!!"

The emperor was indeed very angry. This is also normal. An emperor who was said to be fainted would not be angry.

He threw the inkstone on the table to the ground, with an angry expression: "Whoever believes in me, it's not your turn to put your beak!!"

The emperor is angry, how can the courtier not kneel.

So, the courtiers underneath knelt in a row.

Ji Changze knelt down like a stream, seizing the time to look at the memory, while observing the faces of the people around him.

Almost half of the courtiers gave him an angry gaze when they saw him looking over, while the remaining half bowed their heads in fear not to meet him.

It seems that the original owner should be grudges.

Ji Changze looked at the memory and found that the original owner not only remembered his grudges, but also didn't know the grudges.

The original owner, a scholar born in a poor mountain village.

He was the only child in the family, so his parents regarded him as all. His father almost desperately earned money for his education, and finally died of illness. He relied on his mother's textiles for his education.

Originally, the mother's support could not last too long, but when the original owner was ridiculed by his classmates because of poverty when he was participating in the poem meeting, a big scholar bumped into him.

When he was young, the Confucian scholar almost failed to continue his education because of poverty. When he saw the original owner, he felt compassion. After further investigation, he found that the original owner was very intelligent, so he was even more cherished.

He accepted the original master as an apprentice, brought him to his house, taught him to study, taught him to learn martial arts, and gave him monthly silver every month, and he was cultivated as if he were his own son.

With such a great Confucian master, the plight of the original owner is naturally resolved. The old mother in the family does not need to work hard day and night to weave, and she does not have to worry about money.

The original owner grew up steadily and steadily under the cultivation of the great Confucian. The great Confucian couple regarded him as his own, and they also betrothed his only daughter to him.

This is the case for the winner of life.

The original owner is an elegant scholar to the outside world. Although the official position is not high, his colleagues in the officialdom are also very friendly to him because of the great scholars behind him. Internally, he is a caring and gentle husband with his wife and a good disciple who respects the great scholars.

It's not bad to live a life like this, but unfortunately, something changed later.

The Confucian scholar has a sister who is a noble concubine in the palace. The sons of the noble concubine have always been praised. Although they are young, they are very courageous and aggressive. The enemy country invades, and the emperor sends the sons of the noble concubine to calm the chaos.

In the end, no one knew what happened. The enemy country was defeated, but the son of the imperial concubine did not return as a hero, but was escorted into Beijing.

The prince who is the most promising, rebelled.

Everyone's first reaction is to disbelieve.

With emotion and reason, the prince has no reason to rebel.

He has a good background, and he is good enough. There is no prince in the palace that can compare to him, and he is also young. The throne, a discerning person will know that he will definitely be his in the future.

He doesn't need to do this.

As soon as this happened, many veterans asked the emperor to investigate thoroughly.

Even the prince's rivals, the other half-princes, did not believe that he would rebel.

But the emperor firmly believed this.

In addition, it was concluded that the uncle of the prince, that is, the Confucian scholar was also cooperating with the prince to rebel.

Daru was imprisoned.

Now it's fried.

Perhaps the prince is just a term for the folks, but the Confucian scholar, he has an extraordinary position in the minds of many scholars.

They believed that such a great scholar could not do such a thing.

Just when there were pleadings for the great scholars and the prince, hoping that the emperor could investigate thoroughly, the great scholars were taken to the court, and he was also a fierce one. In the court, when he was accused by the emperor of being a courtier and thief, he was hit to death. On the pillar.

After his death, the original owner took [the treason correspondence between the great scholar and the emperor] and [the righteousness to destroy relatives].

The existence of Da Confucian's only direct disciple/husband of only daughter/qingtong father and son stood up and confirmed Da Confucian's guilt.

No matter how many people don't believe it, at least from the public opinion, when the original master came out, the guilty of the dead Confucianism was so condemned.

His wife, who was about to give birth, was anxiously rushing from home to hear the bad news that her husband had framed her father. The child was born early. Because it was premature, it was a stillbirth. When he rushed back after being buried on the spot, everything was a foregone conclusion. .

The Confucian scholar died and the prince was detained. The emperor expressed his "kindness" and said that he was not as guilty as his family. Since the Confucian had already apologized for death, he would not care about his family. So, under the influence of the "kind" emperor, Confucianism was not ransacked, and neither was the wife or daughter involved.

Naturally, both Ji Changze and the original owner understood that letting go of the mother and daughter was not merciful at all, but after the death of the great scholar, in order to calm the resentment and anger of those scholars, they made a self-righteous decision.

He knew that he was wrong, but the emperor would not admit that he was wrong, so he needed the original owner to remind everyone that he was right.

The original owner is step by step and is at the peak of power. It is very simple for him to please the mediocre emperor. As long as he scolds his dead master from time to time, stepping on his wolf ambition, the emperor will naturally be happy. .

Relying on this, the original owner successfully moved to a high position, and now he is only at a young age, and he is already a second-tier Shangshu Ling.

Although he was a civilian, he still held real power, because in most cases, the emperor would listen to what he said.

Compared with the triumphant spring breeze on the court, the original owner's house life is not so good.

Although he was selling his teacher for honor at the beginning, the original owner didn’t really mean nothing. What's more, what he wanted to sell his master was his career. Both he and the emperor knew that the correspondence between those letters was simply unnecessary, just because of him. It's the closest person to Master, so let him open the mouth that can block some people.

If the original owner turns his face ruthlessly towards the younger sister and wife after selling his teacher for glory, then everyone will know that he is such a treachery villain, so the authenticity of the letters he took out will naturally be doubted.

Only when he was very kind to the younger sister and his wife, he put on a line of "I didn’t kill Master for the sake of prosperity and wealth, but the master really did something of treason. I am only loyal to the emperor and patriot, so that’s righteousness and extermination. Only by being like you can make people unable to grasp the handle.

So even if the original owner wanted to send the two people who got in the way far away, he still had to put on a sluggish appearance and carefully take care of them.

Even in order to maintain the affectionate personality, even a concubine dare not accept it.

Naturally, the younger sisters who know their husband/father are human will certainly not forgive him.

In the original life, the original owner did almost everything that a traitorous official could do, excluding dissidents, harming Zhongliang, causing harm to the common people, and helping the emperor to do what he wanted to do but would be scolded.

After a series of sorrows, this pair of emperors and ministers succeeded in killing the country.

When the country was ruined and fleeing, the original owner remembered his wife in the backyard. He endured the other party for so long, and now he doesn't need to pretend, and he went into the backyard with a knife and killed his wife.

The dowry beside his wife witnessed this scene. She ran away overnight, but was discovered by the original owner. The original owner discovered that she was escaping not outside the city but inside the city. He became suspicious and traced behind the other party, only to learn a secret.

At the beginning, the children of the two were not stillborn, but the wife, after learning that he had framed the Confucian scholar, was afraid that even the original owner who could shoot against the father, such as the master, would not let go of the biological daughter.

Especially, the biological daughter who is half of her blood.

This child must not be allowed to follow such a father. This is the wife's first thought after giving birth to the child.

At that time, the close friend who happened to be with his wife in a handkerchief was also going to the capital to borrow a female doctor. After the female doctor came back, she regretted to inform her that the woman gave birth to a stillbirth.

The wife immediately thought of the way the civet cat could change the prince. She sent her cronies, and the handkerchief handkerchief had made friends with her. Knowing her current predicament, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

As a result, the two children exchanged and the stillbirth was buried, but their biological sons were brought up by handkerchiefs.

The reason why the wife's dowry ran into the city was because they heard that the rebels had surrounded the mansion and wanted to rescue them.

She had no choice but to ask the original owner to save her.

Anyhow, it's his biological daughter anyway.

Unfortunately, she underestimated the cruelty of the original owner.

Knowing that it was just such a secret that he was not interested in, the original owner was very disdainful of crying for his dowry.

If it's a son, maybe he will save it on his own bloodline.

But daughter?

When he escapes, he can give birth as many as he wants.

After saying this, he was killed by an angry dowry.

The original owner was full of martial arts, but died under the hands of a dowry.

It wasn't the opponent's martial arts, but he had never thought that such a humble servant would have the courage to kill him.

This is the ending of the original owner. It can be said that after playing an entire country and ruining the families of countless people, he was happily killed.

The current timeline is that the original owner is doing what treacherous officials should do: frame Zhongliang.

During the drought in Gezhou, the local prefect sent a letter to the court for help. The court did not move for a long time. The people had no food and drink and became refugees. A large number of people walked to the capital.

The emperor's birthday is still two months away. The emperor has been looking forward to this day for a long time. He was happily preparing for his birthday. Suddenly, there were so many refugees in the capital, and Long Yan was furious.

The point is, he is not so angry when he is angry.

Because the prefect of Gezhou handed him a zigzag and said he hoped that the court could provide rescue, but the emperor was planning to build a palace for himself at the time. The treasury was empty and there was not so much money. Originally, it would be difficult to build the palace. If he gave support, then he The palace is absolutely useless.

It's just a severe drought, and it will pass if you can't survive it. It will be fine when it rains. If you have to ask the court for help even for such a thing, then you have to do what the prefecture does.

After the emperor disliked the prefect in his heart, he put the Zhezi aside as if he hadn't seen it.

As a result, things are now like this. Even if so many people come to the capital, he can't say "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I shouldn't care about you" even if he is angry.

The emperor of this dynasty is indeed a faint emperor, but that he is a faint emperor does not mean that he does not know what Mingjun is like.

Doing things about fainting monarch, but really wanting to be the emperor of Mingjun, isn’t it because of this that he keeps on doing faint things and then pushes them to others, and then pretends to be innocent?

When the victims came to the capital this time and needed someone to carry it out, the emperor who caused the trouble naturally didn't want to carry it out by himself.

Therefore, as the most powerful dog leg around the emperor, the original owner immediately stated that the Gezhou prefecture could not handle this matter. He should ask the court for help in the severe drought. He had nothing to do with this group of refugees, which caused the people to lose their livelihood. condemn.

The emperor immediately affirmed.

But the two of them wanted to confuse the true and false, and many ministers in the DPRK were not blind.

Counting the days, during the severe drought, the prefect indeed handed over the paper to the court, and it was an urgent task, and he gave it three times in a row.

They didn't believe that they didn't come to ask for help.

Under this circumstance, is he going to ask the prefect?

What's more, the prefect of Gezhou once had a lot of good achievements. He was famous for loving the people like his son. You said he would care for the lives of the people in vain. They don't believe it anyway.

Various debates began at the court, and the minister who just pointed at Ji Changze's nose and cursed at him believed in the prefect of Gezhou.

Everyone knows that this is the emperor throwing the pot, but they can't scold the emperor.

So, shouldn't this be the only way to curse the traitorous officials who have been treacherous with the emperor?

The emperor standing above knelt down. He still wanted the reputation of a Mingjun. It was not appropriate to kill the people who were the prefects of Gezhou. So he took a deep breath and resisted his anger.

"This matter is the fault of the prefect of Gezhou, and there is no need to argue."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers who had been kneeling quietly became anxious again.

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty..."

"The prefect of Gezhou has a good reputation abroad. If your Majesty had cured him indiscriminately, what should the people of the world think."

"His Majesty……"

The emperor's face became more and more ugly. If it weren't for him to still want a good reputation, he could hardly wait for the group to speak to other courtiers.

Just as everyone spoke up, a taunting voice rang out:

"Due to the failure of the prefect of Gezhou, so many people have been displaced from their homes and their homes. You don't want to resettle these people. Did you distinguish right from wrong for him?"

The ministers who were working hard to speak for the prefect of Gezhou and trying to persuade the emperor to change their minds turned green.

If they are angry and anxious towards the emperor sitting above, and hating the monarch is not reliable, then most of Ji Changze's righteous courtiers are looked down upon.

Selling a teacher for glory! Treacherous minister! Cheng Chen! Villain! Scum scum!

These words were all said lightly on Ji Changze.

The minister who pointed to Ji Changze's nose and scolded abruptly stood up, and pointed at him with another finger: "You also deserve to talk about resettling the people?! The people are displaced and homeless, and now they starve to death every day. People, whose fault is that?!"

The Master Ji who was accused by him was an old **** who was half-distracted with no guilty conscience and guilt. He only stroked his sleeves and smiled at the other person: "Does it matter who is wrong and who is right? Master Liu, even if you drag ten or eight sinners to the In front of the people, that is not what they want. The victims want food, shelter, doctor, Mr. Liu. You keep saying that this official is a treacherous minister, but you don’t know that you, a loyal minister who loves the people like a child, are for those victims. What did you do?"

Master Liu's face was startled: "If, if you had received a discount, you would be able to give relief, but now the victims will not be like this."

The face of the emperor sitting above changed.

He was the one who didn't take care of it at the beginning. Isn't that accusing him?

Some savvy courtiers also heard what this meant, and their expressions changed.

Oops.

Master Liu is afraid that he will not be able to escape this disaster today.

Just when the emperor was about to speak with a stern face, he was interrupted by a sneer.

"it's so funny."

Ji Changze made no secret of his ridicule and disdain for Master Liu, raising his chin: "I said, Master Liu, are you really confused or pretending to be confused?"

"You keep saying that I am a villain, and it seems as if you love the people so much, but what you do is not just that it is not painful, you did nothing for the people, you did not give them food or drink, You didn't give any of the fields and houses they wanted, oh, you did something else, you were scolding the officer."

"Ah, it is said that the official is a villain, what is the person who scolds the villain? Loyal minister? A good person who is not afraid of the threats of traitor officials? Master Liu, if you want a good reputation, you should do some good people and good deeds. , To help the victims, to appease and appease the people, not to do this, but to scold the official. Isn't it just to get a reputation for loyalty by scolding the official?"

Master Liu was stunned, and the more he listened, the more anxious he became: "You! You! Your nonsense! How did I ever think about it! I am for the people of the world! For the people!!!"

"Oh? For the people?"

That handsome and unparalleled man dressed in a red official uniform smiled even harder: "Okay, Lord Liu, why don't you come and talk to this officer, my colleagues, and your Majesty, if you scold this official, the people will get it." what?"

"A grain of rice? A pot of water? Or a comfortable bedding, or a shelter from wind and rain?"

Master Liu trembled, pointed at Ji Changze, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Ji Changze smiled with satisfaction, turned to the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and when he straightened up, his face was full of affirmation; "Your Majesty, it seems that Lord Liu did not scold the ministers for the victims, but only Personal grievances."

"Hahahahahaha!"

The emperor was originally annoyed to kill people. The Master Liu was on his death list. Now, seeing Ji Changze stun him, it was as if he was taking off the other’s face and throwing it on the ground. Long Xin Yuet. , Laugh out loud.

"Liu Qing, you are not young anymore, don't want to be so persistent in the struggle of spirit."

"Me! Weissier! Your Majesty!!!"

"His Majesty."

Seeing Master Liu still wanting to explain, Ji Changze directly intervened: "According to the opinion of the minister, since Master Liu has such a heart for the people and is sad for the victims, it is better to send it to Master Liu for this disaster relief."

"I believe Master Liu loves the people like his son, and he will surely do a good job in disaster relief and comfort the victims outside Beijing."

As soon as these words came out, the other ministers who had originally wanted to help Master Liu paused.

Although disaster relief is a chore, it is hard and unpleasant, but if Master Liu did it, it would surely not happen to **** the blood of the victims.

Ji Changze's proposal like this is definitely intended to make Master Liu suffer, but perhaps for Master Liu who wants to do practical things for the people, it may be his wish to go to disaster relief.

They hesitated, wondering if they should come out to speak.

After all, according to the previous situation, if it weren't for Master Liu, his Majesty would definitely send someone he trusted.

But the people he trusts in your Majesty, ninety percent of them are the ministers!

If those people go, let alone disaster relief, it would be nice not to peel off the victims.

Master Liu also understood this. He was full of anger. Hearing this at this moment, all the anger was gone. He clenched his fists nervously, for fear that the emperor would not agree.

The emperor had indeed planned to send people who he believed in.

However, disaster relief is a chore, this guy can't control his mouth, it's okay to endure hardships.

"In that case, let Liu Qing go."

As soon as he said this, Ji Changze could even hear the relieved voices of many people around him, showing how miserably they were abused by the emperor.

"The Gezhou prefect, concealing it and not reporting it, caused the victims to gather in the capital. With such a serious crime, think about it, Aiqing, how should I convict that guy?"

Why is this still going to be convicted?

Some ministers were extremely tired.

They don't plan to care about the emperor's deduction of the discount, but can the emperor keep accusing others of the crime.

The prefect of Gezhou is a man of righteousness, an official, honest and loving people, and the people under his rule have always been very peaceful.

Such a good official would be too unjustified if he was convicted for such an unexplained crime.

The emperor didn't intend to kill people directly. After all, he has a good reputation. If he kills like this, he is also very worried about his reputation.

"For the sake of his loyalty and love to the people when he was an official before, even if he ransacked his home, he was once a good official."

This time, Ji Changze had already spoken before they could speak.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind to the Gezhou prefect. His crime is so serious. If you just ask the guilt, it would be too sorry for the people who were killed by him. The Weichen suggested that it is better to tie the Gezhou prefect to Ge. On the state execution ground, the people who had been victimized by him were insulted and thrown away miscellaneous things. After ten days, if he died, the people did not want him to live. If he lives, Your Majesty will forgive him."

Ok?

This way...

The emperor hesitated.

He wasn't sure what his most favored and best minister was thinking about, and simply waved his hand: "I'm a little tired, go to the rest meeting, and discuss this matter again."

After speaking, he went to the apse.

Ji Changze didn't need the **** to invite, and went directly to the apse by himself.

Along the way, the other ministers looked at him with fear and hatred, and they gave way. Ji Changze held his head high and went straight in without even looking at them.

As soon as he left, the remaining ministers immediately gathered and discussed in twos and threes, just like the class teacher and the students who like to make short reports with the class teacher who had left.

Among them, the classmates around Master Liu are not, but the most colleagues.

"Master Liu, are you okay?"

"Hey, Master Liu, this time I will have to work hard for you."

"Brother Liu, you were too impulsive just now. If your Majesty is angry just now, what should your whole family do?"

"It's okay."

Lord Liu himself was full of red.

"This matter can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Now this disaster relief work has been done by me. I can do something for the victims personally, and I can look at it personally, and I can rest assured."

This is true, after all, Lord Liu is a well-known pragmatist.

Letting him go about this matter is much better than letting other people go to reassure them.

"Then Ji Changze, it can be said that he has done a good job."

"Hey, he wants to compare Master Liu. How can his greedy people know the ambition of Master Liu, and just behave."

Master Liu just smiled when his colleagues around him said about it.

In my heart, I always feel that something is wrong.

When he said that, His Majesty was already angry, and he expected his fate at that time, and he also decided to die.

But Ji Changze's words at the time stopped your Majesty. On the surface, those words seemed to want to grind him, but in fact they were equivalent to saving his life while still doing what he wanted.

Ji Changze was known for his intelligence when he was young. He didn't believe in such a smart person, and would help him instead of knowing those words.

Also, His Majesty wanted to question the prefect of Gezhou, and it was also Ji Changze who stopped him.

Such a punishment method, although a bit shameful, but if it can survive, the official position is not lost, and the life is still there, for the prefect of Gezhou, it is indeed a good method.

But is Ji Changze really helping them?

why? Isn't he a villain?

In the apse, the villain Ji Changze is smiling wickedly: "Your Majesty, if you directly ask the prefect of Gezhou, he has some official names before. I heard that many people boast that he loves the people like a son. Your Majesty asks him, even though it is him. I made a mistake, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be some malicious people spreading rumors behind their backs."

As for what the rumor was, he didn't need to say that the emperor could understand it.

The emperor kept his face calm. Wasn't it just because he was worried about this that he was not sure what to do?

"With Aiqing's intention, the punishment just now can make me sit back and relax?"

"natural."

Ji Changze warmly explained: "Your Majesty is punishing him. This is clearly because the people are asking him. If he dies, then the people hate the evil official very much. Your Majesty, you are the Mingjun who sent the evil official to the people for disposal. He is alive. It is your kindness. You should have put him to death, but you spared his life. If he dares to say that your Majesty is not, for example, this time the disaster victims are out of control and shirk their responsibility. You don’t need to get angry with the people all over the world. Xingzi can drown him."

He took a sip of the tea that the **** handed him, and smiled: "By then, your Majesty has already forgiven him once. The second time I can't bear it, it's justified."

The emperor's eyes brightened.

It's not.

Isn't he worrying about wanting the Gezhou prefect to take the blame, and don't want others to think that he is a foolish monarch and find someone to take the blame?

In this way, give people to the people.

If a person dies, it is the people who killed it.

If he is alive, it is also his kindness.

This method is really wonderful.

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Just do it, Aiqing, you are still smart."

Ji Changze also laughed, and his words were full of traitorous officials:

"No matter what your Majesty said, the ministers are just thinking about what your Majesty thinks, worrying about what your Majesty is, and sharing your worries for your Majesty.

"Okay! Okay! I know that you are my minister of brachii, eh, if the people in the court are like Qingqing, then I can feel at ease."

At the end of the intermission, when His Majesty the Emperor returned to the throne, he directly announced that he would deal with the Gezhou Prefecture in that way.

At the same time, Master Liu also quickly set foot on Gezhou for disaster relief.

This matter can be regarded as a perfect solution. Although many courtiers were a little dissatisfied with Ji Changze and the emperor’s attitude, they also knew what the urinary **** of these two people was. Satisfied to continue the quarrel, in the end still don't know what the trouble will be.

When going down, the ministers walked down the steps and walked towards the palace gate.

"Master Liu."

When a familiar voice sounded, as long as the ministers around him heard the voice, they almost immediately raised their ears and opened their eyes to pay attention to the movement there.

When Ji Changze walked along, he had a good look, and when he didn't do the things that were flattering and framed Zhongliang, he looked really like that. Every step he walked along was a different kind of charm. .

Master Liu, who was stopped, stood there, watching him walk up to him.

"Master Ji, how, what else do you want to say?"

"Oh, it's not something."

Ji Changze chuckled lightly, as if chattering: "I heard that Master Liu is the **** of the family, and the house has not yet been separated. Master Liu's family squeezed into a small poor yard to live in."

The colleagues who were worried about what Ji Changze did to Master Liu were left behind, and suddenly became angry when he heard this.

In the entire capital, no one knows that Master Liu was born as a concubine. Although he entered the court on his own merits, his father’s biological mother left early, and his aunt relied on filial piety to prevent him from going out and staying. She is a good minister, but she still has to live in a small courtyard, and she must give her auntie every month's silver.

There is no way. In this dynasty, filial piety is the first priority. Even if the aunt's mother is not the biological mother, she is also the direct mother. Legally speaking, she is even higher than Liu's mother.

So people who are almost forty years old are still under the control of their aunts.

"Oh, I just cared about Master Liu's family situation. Why do you look at this officer like you want to eat him?"

The minister was angry: "You!"

"Child side."

Master Liu stopped his friend next to him, took a deep breath, and looked at Ji Changze: "So? What does Master Ji want to say?"

"It’s nothing, but I saw Master Liu cursing at the official’s nose today. I just remembered a little bit of the past. Following the past, I thought that Master Liu lived in the small courtyard twenty years ago. I didn’t expect it. Years later, they both married wives and had children, and they still live there."

"It's just that when Master Liu goes to Gezhou, there will be any trouble in your house."

Master Liu immediately clenched his fists and glared at Ji Changze: "Ji Changze!!!"

Ji Changze sneered, took a step forward, and looked at each other:

"So now I call him by his first name, right? Liu Shengyan?"

The two confronted each other, the atmosphere was tense, and they looked like they were about to fight. The ministers who were going down the steps around wanted to watch, and worried that they would lose their demeanor while standing still, so they all walked out of small steps. I just want to wait. One step is divided into a hundred steps.

"Ji Changze, don't go too far!"

"I was too much? When did I go too far? You weren't the one who was scolded by the nose at the court?"

"You! You are also a second-rank official of the imperial court anyway. You are shameless by threatening my family directly!"

"Holding? In which ear did you hear me threatening your family? It's just a matter of caring for your colleagues. You misunderstood this way, you can see that you are usually a person, ah, by the way, you still know that the official is a second-grade? You are a fifth-grade, see this Even if the official doesn’t see the courtesy, he still utters such wild words, but want the current official to punish you for a crime of disrespect to the official?

"you you!!"

Liu Shengyan could not say that Ji Changze was anxious, but he hit it with a fist, but Ji Changze firmly grasped this fist.

The surrounding officials first exclaimed, and then a little bit unexpectedly.

Everyone knows that Ji Changze is both civil and martial. He is not only a liar, but also very good at his hands. Liu Shengyan and Liu are just a weak literati. When the two really fought, it was naturally Ji Changze who had the upper hand.

"Master Liu..."

Ji Changze grabbed Liu Shengyan's fist and forced it to move down, while showing a typical treacherous smile: "Don't worry, during your absence in Beijing, the official will take care of your family and take care of your family."

"How about a two-day visit? Is it caring enough? Speaking of it, I heard that the old lady in the Liu Mansion is kind, presumably, she also likes this junior, right? However, it is better to persuade Master Liu to be cautious, otherwise if it is If there is any dispute with the official, the old lady is helping the official, Master Liu, you can't help it."

This is a threat.

This must be a threat.

What does it mean to come home every two days, what to take care of your family? Doesn't it mean: You are gone, must I scare your family members to do whatever they want?

It was something Ji Changze could do.

After all, he was just because a petty official stepped on his foot accidentally on the way to the upper court, so he directly charged the petty official with a crime and sent him away from afar.

This kind of person who must report to him, Liu Shengyan pointed at his nose in the courtroom before swearing, it is strange that he can bear it.

The surroundings were quiet and silent. Some people wanted to speak up, but they were dragged back by their colleagues and whispered to persuade them:

"He is so powerful now, don't want to be strong, be careful that people are not saved, and even go in by himself."

In the silence, everyone watched Liu Shengyan trembling all over, with anger on his face, and slowly retracted their fists into their sleeves.

Yes.

It should be like this.

If only he is the only one.

Liu Shengyan still has a wife and children, so facing such a threat, naturally he can only bear it.

Seeing that Liu Shengyan was softened, Ji Changze smiled and clapped his hands after seeing Liu Shengyan subdued, "Master Liu feels relieved, this officer must abide by his promise, come home every two days, and take good care of the adults' family."

Liu Shengyan seemed to dare not say anything, with a cold face, just turned around and left.

His friend immediately followed.

"Brother Liu, wait for me!"

He bullied other courtiers, and the traitorous minister looked in a good mood, so he didn't leave, just standing on the steps and looking at the sun in the sky.

After the meeting, a little **** trot over.

"Master Ji, your Majesty knows that you have a conflict with Master Liu, and came to send a small question to the minion, but what's the matter?"

Ji Changze looked at the sun in the horizon: "Familiar father-in-law told your Majesty that the Weichen was fine, but Mrs. Liu scolded the Weichen before, and the Weichen was not upset, so he asked him for a few thoughts."

The little **** quickly responded, turned around and ran back.

As a result, the ministers around all knew what happened today, your Majesty already knew.

Still standing on Ji Changze's side as always.

Also, after all, Master Liu had cursed so much in the courtroom before, not only Ji Changze, but also your Majesty. Ji Changze asked Master Liu to vent his anger, and I was afraid that he would also bring his share.

They sighed, turned and left with deep concern for this country.

At the other end, Liu Shengyan didn't say a word all the way. When friends around him saw that he was in a bad mood, they didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only send him to the gate of the mansion, and then said a few words:

"Na Ji Changze, so arrogant! You are threatening in front of so many colleagues, Brother Liu, don't be angry. Such a villain will definitely be condemned by the heavens. It's too arrogant!"

Liu Shengyan stood there blankly, and suddenly said: "It wasn't like that before..."

"Huh? Brother Liu? What are you talking about?"

Liu Shengyan recovered and hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing, Zifang, thank you very much for today, and you should go home soon."

"You and I are friends. I should have helped each other. What can I thank you, Brother Liu, if you don't worry about your family, just leave it to me with my beard, and Ji Changze wouldn't dare to do more."

Huo Fang had the confidence to say so, after all, his grandfather was a great scholar who even his Majesty would respect.

If Ji Changze dared to move him, His Majesty would never support him.

Looking at the confident bearded Fang, Liu Shengyan smiled: "Okay, Zifang, go back soon, I am also tired today, and I have to rest earlier."

Watching Hu Fang leave, Liu Shengyan turned and entered the house.

He was relieved when he walked all the way to the small courtyard where his family lived.

The wife who was doing clothes in the sun in the yard saw him come back and smiled and put down her clothes to greet him: "Master is back, but are you hungry? I'll let someone go out and buy some food."

When he saw his wife, Liu Shengyan got a little thought back.

He asked his wife, "Do you remember Ji Changze?"

Madam Liu smiled, and looked at him doubtfully: "That's good, how can you tell me about him? Didn't the master always look down on him? But what else did he do?"

Liu Shengyan opened his mouth, he swallowed something he wanted to say, and only said, "This is not true. I just remembered that he and I were also good friends."

The last sentence is a bit self-deprecating.

Madam Liu was silent.

After a while, he laughed and said, "Presumably that day, he was also because of Li Daren who would become friends with his master. Such a villain would not pretend to be if he weren't for Li Daren who values ​​the master."

Lord Li, it is the great Confucian who is also Ji Changze's master.

At the beginning, Master Li valued Liu Shengyan’s talents and often invited him to the mansion to teach him a lot. At that time, Ji Changze lived in the mansion and was considered to be a half son of Master Li. The two young men were of the same age and were both smart. Buddy.

And Mrs. Liu, who was the handkerchief of Ms. Li at that time, often went to the Li Mansion to find Ms. Li. An accident, she met Liu Shengyan, and a marriage was born, and the two became husband and wife.

At that time, it was said that the two families are good, who would have expected a huge change, and finally become like this.

Liu Shengyan asked Mrs. Liu: "Have you ever visited Miss Li? How? Does Ji Changze treat her harshly?"

Since that incident, Miss Li has not left behind closed doors. In the entire capital city, except for Mrs. Liu, she can see no one else.

"It's still the same, lifeless."

Speaking of her friends, Mrs. Liu became more resentful: "The **** Ji Changze, who only pretends all day, looks after Xi Qian very well. When I went to his mansion, I even heard someone gossiping about Ji Changze. Being so good to Cici, Cici still doesn't appreciate it. I really hear that I want to tear their mouths off! A bunch of disgusting things! They don't know anything, they just saw Ji Changze pretending to be there, so why do you say so!"

Liu Shengyan saw her look like she was eager to rub the clothes on her hands, and hurriedly comforted: "Okay, don't be angry, you don't know it, people in the world are like this, just look at the appearance. They thought they knew everything, whether there was any hidden feelings, but they never thought about it."

As he was talking, he stopped suddenly and muttered: "Hidden..."

"Hidden...?"

Madam Liu was still angry. Seeing him like this, she couldn't care about her anger: "Husband, husband?"

"Ah, oh, nothing, I thought of something about the court."

Liu Shengyan was regained by her shouting, and smiled at her soothingly: "I'll go back to the study first, and then call me for dinner."

"Okay, you go."

Madam Liu watched her husband enter the study, and looked at the hand he had been hiding in the sleeve with some confusion.

Is it so cold today?

It seems it's time to prepare a stove for your husband tomorrow.

After Liu Shengyan entered the study, he immediately closed the door, and waited until the entire room was checked to make sure that there was no one, then he sat down with confidence and opened his clenched fist.

There was a piece of paper hidden inside, which was crumpled because it had been held tightly.

He hurriedly unfolded the note slowly, only to see a line of words written on it in familiar handwriting.

"Tomorrow, at noon, the jade pendant will be there or scattered."

Liu Shengyan stared at the words in a daze for a while before bending down, and took out a wooden box from the cabinet. After opening it, there was a jade pendant that looked not very valuable inside.

This is the relic left to him by his mother. When he was a teenager, when he and Ji Changze were still good friends, the two sneaked out to play together. He left this jade pendant.

Ji Changze stayed with him for most of the day, and finally found it in a ruined temple where the two of them passed by on the outskirts of the city.

Because that place is too remote, they jokingly agreed that the jade pendant is equivalent to a broken temple. If one day they need to use a code, they only need to talk about the jade pendant, they will know that they are talking about the broken temple.

Liu Shengyan always thought he didn't remember this joke.

Since Lord Li's death, he hated Ji Changze for his bones, and when he remembered the two mutual friends, he could hardly wait to throw it into the pile of dirt. Even this jade pendant could no longer be worn on his neck properly.

And now, Ji Changze said the jade pendant.

Should I go?

Liu Shengyan touched the jade pendant, stunned, and sat in the study for a long time.

The second day.

He got up early, and went out after packing up.

At noon, he walked to the entrance of the ruined temple.

A handsome and unparalleled man came out inside, and smiled happily when he saw him.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

"But you are late again, why can't you always fix this problem."

In an instant, this picture overlapped with that of more than ten years ago.

The vigorous young man stood somewhere and complained to him: "You are late again. When will such a problem be corrected? You are late every time."

At this time, he would say: "Sorry, sorry, I was wrong..."

Liu Shengyan's eyes were red, and he answered the same answer as before.

"I was wrong, I will dare next time."
