Minister

104【Seven years of Jiankang】

In April, the Lin Mansion was full of happy events. First, Lin Yuzan got the red coral and poems bestowed by the emperor, and the female family members of the Lin Mansion were extremely proud.Then came Lin Mao's marriage in the middle of the month.There are not many sons among the descendants of the Lin family. His eldest brother was married long ago, and the elders of the family love this youngest son. Seeing that he is finally going to start a family and start a business, the joyful enthusiasm overwhelmed the emperor's reward.

What's more, the in-laws are the Geng family?

The youngest daughters of the Lin family also grew up with Geng Yunmei. To have such a best friend marry in, not to mention the strangeness, the hope is not divided.The Geng family of the Lin family was originally a rich family, and their respective relatives were also prestigious families. Suddenly, the marriage of the two families was full of excitement and became the biggest commotion in the capital.Although the Geng family ran the family simply, how could the Lin family be willing to bend Yunmei's eyebrows? In the end, the Geng family had no choice but to give in, allowing the Lin family to make matters worse.

Yunmei's mood was not as bad as she thought. Since that meeting, Mr. Lin has sent someone to send Xiao Wanying over every three days. He even brought Brother Xiao Wei's copybook.Gradually understand in my heart who is the caring person.There were also many rumors in the palace, about Yuxiang and Brother Xiaowei, Yunmei was very angry at first, only thinking that her best sister in the boudoir was against her.Later, I realized that this was the intention of Lang Youqing's concubine, and I couldn't force it. Maybe I was really just Wei Chi's younger sister...

The capital spent April peacefully and happily, and no one knew that a travel-worn person was coming from the border.

In April, the pasture outside the Great Wall is new, and the shepherds should be busy migrating to catch the grass, but at this most peaceful time of the year, Lihe County, a small frontier city in Qi State, was suddenly hit hard.About 15 Monan cavalry suddenly descended on the town and destroyed the town with lightning speed.Lihe is just a small town in the long border of Qi State, not relying on Fengyi in the south, and not relying on Yulong in the north, there is no one to help for a while.Fortunately, there are also militias in the area.After a brief resistance, personnel were quickly dispatched to notify the rear.There are mountains behind Lihe, and the fleeing militiamen rushed two days before reaching the big county behind Lihe.The county magistrate Wu Gelan was born in Juren and had been an official on the border for [-] years. This sudden attack quickly aroused his vigilance.He quickly sent someone to deliver it to the capital, but wrote a secret letter before the delivery, asking his subordinates to send it to his teacher, Wang Xieshan, before the delivery arrived.

After a short period of panic, Magistrate Wu quickly calmed down—this matter cannot be said to be strange.Li He's population is less than [-], and there are mountains behind him. Why would the people of Monan send so many people to attack?And to do things so absolutely?

provocative?

More than provocation!

Thinking of the reason behind it, County Magistrate Wu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!Ten thousand cavalry, unless it is Fengyi or Yulong reinforcements, how can the militia at the border resist?But what is Monan's intention?The magistrate of Wu County scratched his head, and finally bravely sent an order to the surrounding counties and cities, ordering all soldiers and civilians to hide in the mountains and not to meet the enemy.

After receiving the order, the master was very puzzled. At this time, the common people are not allowed to farm. What will they eat next year?

County Magistrate Wu sighed deeply, opened the window, and looked into the night: "The next year will be the next year anyway, it's better than dying this year!"

The master was shocked: "Does your lord think that Monan will attack other counties? This is not a good time to rob, and there is no benefit for them to work so hard! It's nothing to dodge this time, it's just that they missed the farming season, and the grain to be levied in the next year Where can I get it?"

The county magistrate Wu didn't answer the master's words. He knew that he had exceeded his authority, and he might not be able to afford it, but he suddenly felt that it might be worthwhile to exchange his official position, or his life, for the lives of tens of millions of people. Yes, this is a non-choice option.Now that this intention has been decided, then things will be left to fate...

"Don't ask too much, the order is passed down overnight, not only in the counties we manage, but also in other counties. Do it immediately. If there is any negligence, it will be an eternal sin!"

On April [-]th, the smoke at the border has not yet cleared, but the capital is immersed in the happy events of Lin Geng's family.Lin Mao's marriage was set on the [-]th, and the people in the streets and alleys were talking about this wedding, and the atmosphere was really more enthusiastic than marrying a princess.

Wei Chi naturally had an invitation card, but it was a pity that the prince had a class that day, so he dared not neglect this errand, and by the time he arrived at the Lin residence, the banquet had already come to an end.Wei Chi saluted all the way, and finally found Bingwen among the crowd.Bingwen led him to drink the wedding wine in front of the elders, went through the motions, and went to greet other guests.Wei Chi walked to the front of the hall, saw saffron petals all over the place, and knew that the couple had already worshiped heaven and earth, and the bride must have entered the bridal chamber.Seeing Lin Mao, whose face was flushed flushed in the crowd, too busy to socialize, he had mixed feelings for a while.

The best friend talked about dedication, Wei Chi didn't want to make trouble for Bingwen, so he thought about having a few drinks before going back.Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly saw a servant rushing in and whispering something to Wang Xieshan. Wang Xieshan's expression changed drastically, and he left the table before saying goodbye to his master.Wei Chi was puzzled, and not long after, he saw Mr. Wang came back, but his expression was very bad.Wei Chi's mood was even worse. He hurriedly drank his head down and was nervous when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by someone.

"The small one is Lord Wang's book office."

Wei Chi glanced back at the middle-aged man dressed in the book office, and then at Wang Xieshan who was sitting on the table next to him. Mr. Wang, who was like an old jujube, nodded secretly to him. Wei Chi turned back to the book office Said: "Let's go."

The two left the Lin Mansion all the way, the Lin Mansion was not too far from the Wang Mansion, and they didn't look for a car, so they walked for a while.Wei Chi thought he was going to enter Wang Xieshan's house, but he walked a little longer, turned to the right, and entered Wang Yunyi's house.

Wang Yunyi recently claimed to be sick, so he didn't come to join in the fun. Wei Chi hadn't seen him for a long time, and thought he had something to discuss privately.Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party changed his posture of calling him sick, he sat in the main hall with frank clothes to face him.Wei Chi was taken aback and quickly kowtowed.

Wang Yunyi held him back: "It's too late, follow me."

This time there was a car, and the two rushed to Dachen Palace non-stop.Signed the access control, got out of the car, and the two of them headed west all the way, and entered the administrative room of Honglu Sisi.

Sitting in the government room is Honglu Temple Minister - Yu Mian.This was Wei Chi's first meeting with him. Wang Yunyi, who was wearing a first-grade court uniform, might not have imagined that the most legendary history of the Daqi Dynasty would be written by these two little officials who are still unknown at the moment.

Without too much etiquette, the three sat in a circle.Wang Yunyi took out a piece of paper, which was a map.

"The civil war in Monan has only ended for five days. On the sixth day, that is, April [-]th, [-] cavalry attacked Lihe, and then swept the place to nothing. Why?"

Yu Mian was silent for a moment: "The lower officials are in charge of the peace talks, but the peace talks have not yet been announced to the public... From this point of view, Monan wants to use this as a bargaining chip to force me to negotiate a truce as soon as possible."

Wang Yunyi nodded, then turned to Wei Chi and asked, "Whose idea do you think this is?"

Wei Chi looked at the map and understood in his heart: "Now Monan is already ruled by those two brothers and sisters, whose idea is self-evident. With such a quick decision, it seems that the few parties in Monan no longer exist. "

"Do you want to negotiate a peace soon?" Wang Yunyi asked the final question.

Wei Chi was taken aback, and suddenly understood why Wang Yunyi called him.

Do you want to negotiate a peace soon?In fact, this is a question with an answer. If the peace is not negotiated as soon as possible, then Monan will have more reasons to insult the Qi State even more. At that time, the emperor will be furious, and the peace will be held hostage again. Torn apart.

Wang Yunyi smiled wryly: "Until the end of April, we won't be able to see the emperor, only you..."

Only Wei Chi has a special status and can see the emperor alone, or in other words, only Wei Chi has the opportunity to persuade the emperor to negotiate a peace as soon as possible.This is the real reason why Wang Yunyi asked him to come with him.

It was the first time Wei Chi saw Wang Yunyi begging for help, and he was extremely flustered.Because Mr. Wang also knows that the tiger's buttocks cannot be touched, and if touched, it will kill him.

Yu Mian stood up suddenly: "The lower official dares to ask Mr. Wang to stay away for a while. I have something to say to Mr. Wei."

Wang Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then actually stood up and walked out.

Before Yu Mian got up to go to the case, he thought about it and wrote a letter.Wei Chi went in without knowing, touched his nose secretly and stood up.Yu Mian put down his pen and handed the paper to Wei Chi.It was just a thin piece of paper, Wei Chi understood what he meant when he took it.Wei Chi suddenly understood why the mighty Wang Yunyi would honestly 'avoid'.

Yu Mian also stared at this young man silently, this was the first time they met, Wang Yunyi had said before that this man is a smart man, but a good man.

Wei Chi thought for a moment, raised his hand to pick up the incense burner, and put the piece of paper in it.

The two were silent for a moment, Wei Chi said: "Master Yu is a man with a family."

Yu Mian nodded: "Master Wei will have a family in the future."

Wei Chi put the lid on the incense burner and said in a low voice, "If you don't discuss peace, it will be very difficult for General Wang to deal with himself in the court. Although it is finally necessary to discuss, the sooner the discussion is, the better the Wang family will be, but the one who may die one day sooner is you and me." .”

Yu Mian sat down: "But one day later, the situation in our country will be even weaker, and we will suffer a lot if we discuss it at that time."

Wei Chi also sat down, and said anxiously: "Wang Yunyi won't remember you and me!"

Yu Mian also stared at Wei Chi: "But if you don't seek for the country, how can you and I be open-minded."

Wei Chi lowered his head.

Yu Mian continued: "General Wang knows people very well. He said that you are an open-minded person. I think those who do not form factions are seeking for the country. Mr. Wei is a stranger to me, and he does not want to drag me down. Qi's salary, dare to drag Daqi down?"

Wei Chi raised his head: "When Mr. Yu was in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to control the water three years ago, he was a junior official who passed the imperial examination. He was the junior among the juniors. It's just... the past few years have been very different from the previous thinking. Naturally, we have to work hard for the country. , but..." Wei Chi turned his head to look at Yu Mian's face: "Some people don't believe too much."

Yu Mian glanced outside the door: "I know, but I believe you."

When Wang Yunyi saw them walk out, he knew that the calculation was right.He didn't say much, just bowed silently.In officialdom, there are endless self-interests and parties, but in this darkest place, there are often some precious things.There are also some people who have tried their best but don't live for themselves.He knew that Yu Mian was a courageous person. He had been in the court for more than 20 years, and he was able to live upright until now because of his excellent judgment and thinking ability.As for Wei Chi, this kid can't believe himself, but he can trust Yu Mian, so for the sake of his conscience, he will not refuse this trip.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Wang Yunyi is not willing to take risks because of his own affairs, and let others die after hiding, this is really unreasonable.

But Wang Yunyi did it again.

Wei Chi thought to himself, this person is really talented.

When he walked out, Wei Chi felt hungry.After all, it was already past lunch time.It was still far away from the gate of Dachen Palace, Wei Chi suddenly thought of his life in that palm-sized academy, how he wished the world could be big. Now the world is really big, but it is too big.

Wei Chi walked on the road alone, with his head down, calculating his chances of surviving this time.After doing the calculations for a while, I feel that Chen Yan is not a person at all, and it is impossible to calculate... The palace walls of Dachen Palace are so high, although the Lin family's mansion is very close to here, they can't feel the joy there at all.Wei Chi scratched his forehead. In fact, she knew what Geng Yunmei was thinking. She was not stupid, so how could she not understand? ...It's just... Wei Chi's stomach growled... This is your best destination, right?

The red palace wall divides the Dachen Palace into countless grids, which cannot be crossed between each other. Walking in the corridors of these grids and grids will make you feel lonely and uncomfortable.

The outer court was very solemn, and it became even more solemn after the early morning court. The official boots made a slight sound when they stepped on the green bricks. Wei Chi suddenly remembered a year ago, at the end of spring, that evening, he and Saul Hahan held hands Walking on the streets of Xilingrad, the soft cowhide boots step on the spun yarn, and the lights of the downtown are in the distance, soft and yearning.Two years ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, in that evening, I and Geng Yunmei ran hand in hand on the streets of the capital, the rabbit lights in our hands were bright red, and the candied chestnuts were slightly prickly.Ten years ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, in that evening, I was squeezed into the crowd to watch myself playing with a sledgehammer, and I was picked up by my teacher on my shoulders. I seemed to be wearing a headscarf newly bought by my teacher, and I was holding a colored thread rice dumpling in my arms. , and a bunch of ox ear cakes.

At this moment, I stretched out my hand again, but it was empty.

Wei Chi was walking slowly on the stone road. Although he could catch up with the wedding now, he would rather walk slowly than go.

Wei Chi pushed open the door of Yustudy, there should be no one inside at this moment, and there is nowhere to go at this time, so Wei Chi had no choice but to turn here to sit for a while.When practicing calligraphy with Chen Entropy last time, Chen Entropy said that he wanted a bamboo bird.Wei Chi was thinking about something else this morning, so he bought it and forgot to give it to him.Standing in the garden, Wei Chi took the bamboo bird out of his purse, and was stunned for a while, then suddenly, like when he was a child, he breathed on the bamboo wing and turned it around vigorously!

The bamboo bird flew up, and the bamboo whistle inside made a creaking sound as it rotated.

Guo Taifu was holding a paintbrush to hook bamboo leaves, when he suddenly saw Yuxiang in front of him staring out the window and opened his mouth wide: "What's wrong?"

"What's that?" Yuxiang pointed to the yellow thing outside the window.

Chen Entropy suddenly became excited: "Bamboo bird! Bamboo bird!!"

The bamboo bird only swayed in front of the window and flew away.

"Master Wei, Master Wei!" Chen Entropy jumped off his chair and ran to the window.

Wei Chi thought that there was no one in the study, but he didn't expect to hear the prince yelling, and he was dumbfounded.When Taifu Guo came out twisting Yuanyuan's body, he saw Master Wei standing in the middle of the yard clumsily, holding a bamboo bird in his hand like a little boy who had gotten into trouble.

Chen Entropy rushed out from behind Mr. Guo, and threw himself into Wei Chi's arms with a huff. Wei Chi picked him up and secretly asked, "Is Mr. Guo fierce?"

Chen Entropy giggled.

Guo Taifu walked over to Wei Chi, who was blushing slightly: "Did Master Wei come to check the post?"

This was Wei Chi's first time talking to Guo Taiming alone, and he didn't seem to be as rigid and difficult as ordinary people said.Wei Chi tried his best to smirk: "The students left late, so come here... let's go again."

Guo Taifu took the bamboo bird that Wei Chi wanted to hide, looked at it, and then turned around and shouted to the room: "Princess! Come and have a look!"

Wei Chi felt even more embarrassed, seeing that Princess Qinghe walked out of the house coyly, Wei Chi hurriedly saluted.

Yuxiang took the bamboo bird: "This... what is this?"

Chen Entropy said in a dignified manner: "This is a bamboo bird, which can fly and call."

Guo Taifu laughed haha: "Princess, this is played by children of ordinary people. There is no such thing in the palace, so the princess does not know."

"You're good at this, Aunt Huang." Chen Entropy pretended to be an expert and gave Yuxiang guidance.

Yuxiang was also curious, not knowing how such an ugly little thing could fly, so he followed Chen Entropy's words, clamped the handle of the bamboo bird with his palm, and turned it around!It's a pity that it was not on the road, and the bamboo bird twisted askew, and fell obliquely into the grass.

Guo Taifu twisted Yuanyuan's body, ran to the grass nest to pick up the bamboo bird, and taught Yuxiang earnestly: "The force is not right, this is the way!" , Who knows that this turn is also very embarrassing.

Chen Entropy giggled and leaned back and forth.

Guo Taifu turned around a few more times, but he didn't know what to do, and the flight was a mess.In the end, I had to say: "There is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in art. Let Master Wei demonstrate it."

Wei Chi was also amused, saluted, and took the bamboo bird. This was something he used to play with when he was a child. Wei Chi just turned around slightly, and the bamboo bird flew into the sky, squeaking while flying gently.

Chen Entropy smiled and went after the bamboo bird. Mrs. Guo pointed at Wei Chi and said with a smile, "It is said that Mr. Wei is a child. I didn't believe it in the past, but today I know it's true."

Wei Chi talked about him from left to right: "There is no class today, why is the Taifu here?"

Guo Taifu pointed at Yuxiang: "You only have one student, but I have two."

Wei Chi made another salute: "If you disturb the princess's studies, I deserve death."

Although this was a polite sentence that had been said ten thousand times, Yuxiang still yelled out of composure: "No, no! Mr. Wei is so polite."

While talking, Chen Entropy had already picked up bamboo birds and ran back: "Aunt Huang! Taifu! Master Wei can also stick paper butterflies!"

Grand Tutor Guo couldn't hold it back, he burst out laughing, even Yuxiang couldn't help laughing, Wei Chi raised his eyebrows, and smirked twice, thinking that it was over, the stability that he had painstakingly left in the Grand Tutor's heart in the past The image is all watered down...

The author has something to say: Every time Yuxiang makes deliberate preparations, he fails, but he always meets Wei Chi accidentally.

Wei Chi is a very possessive person, he really can't bear to marry his sister...and hold his breath...

The depression of marrying a girl + the oppression of Uncle Wang...Wei Chi can't eat lunch anymore...

How about after lunch?

Haha

something must happen
