The official road of the farmer

The so-called good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, as if overnight, the Jinjiang civil uprising incident spread all over the world.

Even though they are far away, based on false rumors, it seems that the whole Great Summer is crumbling in the wind and rain, making people panic.

There is no literary inquisition in Daxia, and speech is not allowed. Even the common people can discuss a few words about current affairs, so the streets and alleys are full of discussions.

Even most of the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, who were deaf to what was going on outside the window, couldn't help talking a few words.

But they are just small officials, they don't even have the chance to go to court, no matter how angry they are, they can't reach the ears of the superiors.

Because Cui Liangdao, the main culprit who caused the civil uprising in Jinjiang, was somewhat related to the Ming family, many officials who were not used to the Ming family pointed at Sang and cursed at Huai, so they just pointed at their noses.His words were so fierce that people from the Ming faction jumped to their feet, stretched their necks and cursed back.

All of a sudden, the entire Hanlin Academy was noisy.Ye Junshu didn't sit on the sidelines, anyway, he was considered a person with a position, and it's not good to stay out of it.

However, he didn't take the initiative to cause trouble. If anyone insulted him, he would respond with justification. Or how to say the most terrifying thing is the mouth of a literati. When cursing people, he must quote scriptures and classics to illustrate. Ye Junshu can make the other party dumb. Speechless, already very powerful.

As time passed, no one scolded him anymore, and Ye Junshu was very happy.

In fact, the Jinjiang civil uprising was not as exaggerated as the rumors said. The direct mastermind had already been escorted back to Beijing.

Cui Liangdao fled with his cronies as early as the incident, but fortunately, he was caught in time by the emperor's secret agents, so he did not let him abscond in fear of crime.

At this time, the officers and soldiers and the rebel civilians were in a tense confrontation.

It is said to be a rebellion, but if you can live on, who would be so hard to think about rebellion?Since ancient times, the government has forced the people to rebel!

The common people just want a way to survive.

It's just that at this point, those people who have already taken up arms have no choice but to continue to fight.

Ye Junshu sighed, although his hometown is also so poor, but fortunately there are no corrupt officials, a few years ago... don't mention it.

After a busy and lively day, Ye Junshu packed his things and was about to go home when he was informed by Ming Zhang Yuan to let him stay for a while.

Ye Junshu pondered for a while, guessing what the other party meant by keeping him.

Thinking of today's major events, Ye Junshu felt something in his heart, and nine out of ten it was this matter.

Ming Pengzhan said to Ye Junshu: "Zi Zhou, come with me."

Ye Junshu had no objection, and only agreed.

Not long after, Ming Pengzhan asked Ye Junshu to follow him to the back door of the Imperial Academy, where two sedan chairs carried by four people were already parked there.

Mingpeng entered the front one, and Ye Junshu entered the back one.

The four sides were tightly covered, and Ye Junshu just sat down, the sedan chair shook slightly, was lifted steadily, and then he clearly felt that the sedan chair was moving.

This was the first time that Ye Junshu sat in this kind of sedan chair carried by manpower, which was quite novel.

It is that the space is not as spacious as a carriage, and it is inconvenient to move.

There was basically no sound outside, and it was very quiet. Ye Junshu was not worried about his own safety, so he listened attentively, only hearing the whistling winter wind.

After an unknown amount of time, the sedan chair was gently put down, Ye Junshu paused, and heard someone outside whisper, "Lord Ye, we're here."

He opened the curtain and walked out.

Ye Junshu glanced casually. At this moment, they were at the entrance of an unfamiliar alley. He walked up to Ming Pengzhan, and then, led by a taciturn servant, walked around the alley. Entered through an inconspicuous small door.

Ye Junshu guessed that it should be the side door of some Zhuangzi.

He didn't show any curiosity, and followed Ming Pengzhan without saying a word, miraculously, he didn't meet anyone along the way.

However, Ye Junshu keenly felt that there were many people hiding in the dark in this courtyard, although there were no traces of them on the surface.

They entered a brightly lit hall.

There were already a lot of strangers in casual clothes inside. Seeing how they were dressed, Ye Junshu thought with certainty that this was the First Prince's staff.

"Master Ming."

"Master Ming."

When a group of staff saw Ming Pengzhan, they all stood up and waved their hands to say hello.

Everyone seemed to have their own seats, and it wasn't the first time they came, so they sat on the chairs on both sides.

Ming Pengzhan asked Ye Junshu to sit on the last empty chair on the right, and then walked to the first seat on the left.

Ye Junshu thought, it seems that he is a foil.

He scanned around, and there were people sitting in every seat, so it should have been filled.

Not long after, the eldest prince came out from the front right.

Everyone stood up neatly and saluted, "I have seen the master."

"No gift, sit down."

The First Prince was obviously in a bad mood, "I must be well aware of calling you here today."

"Everyone can speak freely if they have any ideas."

The first prince had just finished speaking, and then a middle-aged man with a thin face stood up and said loudly: "Master, in the opinion of my subordinates, we should break up when we should, and we can just protect our lives wisely."

Another person said, "Cui Liangdao said that this person is not greedy enough to swallow an elephant, if not, it would not have caused such serious consequences, and he accumulates such a huge amount of money every year, but not even one or two people honor his master, which is enough to prove that this person is not the same as the master. One heart."

"Although Cui Liangdao deserves to die, I am afraid that he will bite out the master, and I am afraid that His Majesty will have a grudge."

A staff member said righteously, "It's right for our subordinates to respect the master, but the money of the subordinates comes from legitimate sources. Cui Liangdao searched for the people's fat and anointing, but the master didn't know about it. I believe that your majesty will not trust other people's words."

Regardless of whether the eldest prince knows it or not, the only way to get rid of the master is right now.

"Master, if Cui Liangdao doesn't get rid of him for a day, I'm afraid it will be difficult to quell the anger of the people."

"right……"

It was the first time for Ye Junshu to attend such a meeting, and he sat at the back, so he didn't have the opportunity to express his opinion. He was not in a hurry to express, but listened silently, and learned about their personalities from the conversations of the staff present.

Ye Junshu has always been in awe of people like the staff, and he is fully prepared to deal with them at all times, but now he sees that the gap is too big for a while, and he really thinks too much.

However, he was only in contact with them for the first time today, and perhaps these staff members had some special features that he didn't know about...but it was beyond his expectation.

These staff are not that powerful, are they?

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no accident. The truly resourceful and talented people either live a secluded life in the clouds and wild cranes, or they have already shined in court or other places.

He is only in his forties now, and looks very healthy. It is not so easy to learn from the merits of the dragon.

But those with ambitions cannot survive ten years, Ye Junshu thought of a possibility, maybe these people are not so important, they just have the title of guest minister.

After thinking about it, Ye Junshu couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and concentrated on listening to what they had to say.

Ye Junshu could tell that Cui Liangdao was indeed the eldest prince, but they spared no effort to separate the relationship between the two, and even proposed to put pressure on the Ministry of Punishment to execute him as soon as possible, or make him commit suicide in fear of crime.

Ye Junshu listened...it was hard to describe.

"Zizhou, what's your opinion?"

The eldest prince seemed to have just noticed Ye Junshu's existence and asked.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were projected over, either implicitly or obviously.

Ye Junshu smiled slightly, not being stage-frightened, he stood up and said openly, "I heard from the seniors, I do have some superficial thoughts, and I hope the seniors will give you some advice."

The eldest prince was immediately interested and motioned him to continue.

Ye Junshu said: "According to the officials, Cui Liangdao should indeed be killed, not only that, but also the people behind him should be killed as well."

The First Prince's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

Ye Junshu pretended not to see it, and continued, "Your Majesty will lose his temper in the court, and even bluntly ask the Ministry of Punishments to review. I speculate that His Majesty must have grasped the evidence, and has already firmly believed that there must be an envoy behind Cui Liangdao."

"If Cui Liangdao is only asked to resist all the crimes and wipe out the tail behind him, it will be counterproductive and cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction and fear."

"Although Jinjiang is located in a remote place and the foolish people are backward, but after being oppressed for so many years, there must be some people who can't stand it and come out to sue. Then, who will erase these rumors? Where will the gold and silver it embezzled go?"

"I heard that Cui Liangdao's filial piety to the eldest prince every year is less than one or two, so whose pocket will the huge amount of money he earns fall into? The eldest prince may wish to think about it. I am afraid that some people are not so kind to the eldest prince." Be loyal."

"The eldest prince has a kind heart, how could he do such a thing? Everything is done by people with evil intentions in your name to commit corruption and pervert the law. First prince, you must not only demand severe punishment, but also find out the truth about the mastermind behind the scenes. !"

"Cui Liangdao has such a relationship with the Ming family. Regardless of whether he is responsible for the eldest prince and the Ming family, in the eyes of His Majesty, he has already preconceived and is busy clearing up the relationship. On the contrary, he has the impression that he has no responsibility. The official thinks that it is okay. Be generous and plead guilty to His Majesty on the grounds of the so-called in-laws."

"I would like to ask His Majesty again to help appease the grievances of the people and severely punish corrupt officials." At the end, Ye Junshu said meaningfully, "Since ancient times, water can carry a boat and also overturn it. You must know that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." .”

"Good! Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!" The eldest prince clapped his palms and laughed, "What Zi Zhou said is true, what do you all think?"

What Ye Junshu said was very obvious, and everyone present could understand it.

They only wanted to cut off the broken finger neatly, so as not to rot and affect the body, but Ye Junshu was even more ruthless and directly chopped off an arm.

Cui Liangdao made such a big mess, but his head may not be able to completely calm the matter.

Although it is very painful to cut off this arm, the benefits it brings are endless. Not only will it dispel the suspicion of the father, but his reputation among the people will be further improved.

Those who achieve great things need this kind of vigor.

Furthermore, the person in the middle got more money from it, and he was simply ignored. What he got was only a little bit that leaked through other people's fingers. With the temper of the eldest prince, why don't you call him grudge?

Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous!It is a beneficial and harmless business to exchange a disobedient dog for more benefits.

The rest of the staff looked at each other, although they were not convinced, but the other party did think more comprehensively than them, it can be said that all kinds of advantages and disadvantages were analyzed thoroughly.

So they have no objection.

The First Prince walked up to Ye Junshu with a very satisfied expression. He raised his hand and patted Ye Junshu's shoulder, "Okay! You are fine!"

Ye Junshu was overjoyed that he was valued, but he also tried to maintain a steady expression, "The eldest prince praises you."

Afterwards, Ye Junshu remained silent and modest again, listening to his staff speak freely, and finally returned to Ye Mansion by carriage under the cover of night.

And in the manor where they had a meeting, the eldest prince did not leave immediately, he sat in his seat for a while, as if he was in deep thought.

Then suddenly said: "What do you think?"

Behind the screen on the left side, a dark brocade fur figure came out, only to hear a hoarse voice say lightly, "Yes."
