Changming went to the tavern in Book City that day as usual, waiting for Luo Jianghong to come. Yijing finally relieved his restraint. It was really not easy. Dao Sui was very happy in his heart, and even touched the piece of white jade casually. Seeing his overjoyed expression, Chang Ming couldn't help laughing. Thinking about the business, he sat upright and said, "I need your help with something."

"Go ahead." Seeing him like this, Luo Jianghong restrained her laughing expression.

"The National Martial Arts Examination is just around the corner. When you return to the previous court, please send this letter to Mrs. Gu for me, and ask her to take care of you." Chang Ming put a letter on the table and pushed it to Luoping. In front of Jiang Hong.

Luo Jianghong was stunned for a moment, but she didn't accept the envelope immediately, but asked instead: "Walk in the officialdom, ask for help, there is always etiquette, do you really want to hand the letter to her like this?"

Chang Ming smiled and said, "She will help me even if she doesn't ask for any courtesy, not to mention I don't have any. You don't need to worry too much, as long as you need a letter, don't spend the rest."

Luo Jianghong nodded, picked up the envelope, and was about to put it in her arms, only to find that the envelope was not sealed.

"This letter hasn't been sealed yet!"

"Why should I seal the letter to you?" Chang Ming raised his eyebrows.

The saying that auspicious snow heralds a good year has long been circulated. Yijing accidentally saw the rain and snow outside the window in the court hall, and then realized that it was another year.According to the rules, during the New Year, all the ministers pay homage and also give a pilgrimage report. Because there are so many civil and military officials, he can only stand with his head bowed.

Many generals and military officers were afraid to leave easily because of their important tasks of defending the border, so they had to ask the deployment to do the pilgrimage report.General Bai Xiangying's adjutant reported to the emperor that the northern border had been in turmoil for several years, and finally he was able to recuperate. However, the soldiers worked hard and the city walls were old. He dared to ask the emperor to be sympathetic to the soldiers and defend the country together.

After saying this, several civil servants on the other side were excited, and they all went up and said: "General Bai Xiangying has guarded the northern border for many years, and he often used military pay and food. Now he still wants to repair the city wall. Could it be that he wants to embezzle the military pay for himself? When the country goes to war, the treasury expenditure is not small, and the people are suffering, how can they ask for military pay?"

Gan Yi and Gan Biao looked at each other, and then came out to salute and said: "The emperor clearly observed that on the day when General Bai Xiangying guarded the northern border, the country of Youzhong could not destroy our strong walls. This is a great achievement, but now the city wall is damaged. Repairs, I am afraid that when the sword is used in the future, the treasury will be even more empty."

The Son of Heaven sat high in the Ming Hall, looked around coldly, and then said: "The Prime Minister is right. He ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate military salaries to Bai Xiangying's request."

After kneeling and talking, Yijing walked a little slower because Tonghuacishu had something to say, and there were not many people left in front of him.

"If you don't want to make it public, you'd better be honest!" When Yijing passed by a hut, he inexplicably heard a voice whispering from inside the room. He couldn't help but stopped in his tracks.

Immediately one person shouted: "Fuck your sister's Zhang Yang!" Then there was a loud bang of jingling bells.

Yijing didn't have time to think too much, broke through the door, and saw two men wrestling in a ball with messy clothes, but Yijing only knew one of them.

"Master Wang?"

That man has a resolute face, unspeakable prowess, a strong figure, wearing a complicated official uniform, and a lot of green jade around his waist, as if he is upright, loyal and treacherous.

"You are..." Yijing's eyes flicked back and forth between the two, his expression was mysterious for a while, and Wang Shuzhong was also dumbfounded. When he regained consciousness, the man not only broke away from him, but also threw him Roll out a few feet.

"It's nothing, nothing..." Wang Shuzhong quickly smirked and said, "It's just a small matter, why is the commander here?"

"It's just that I'm a little late from the palace, and I'm about to return to Jianhe Valley."

"Since there is nothing to do, I will take my leave first." Wang Shuzhong slapped a haha, and he disappeared after rubbing oil on the soles of his feet.

On the contrary, Yijing sized up the other person, and his eyes fell on his four eyebrows: "Lu Yichuan?"

"The next officer, Zhilu Yichuan, has met the commander of the Ningwu army."

"And you don't need to be too polite." Yijing had never met this person before, but when Gu Xiaowu mentioned it, he asked one more question: "But what's the problem?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Lu Yichuan's face, and he said hastily: "It's all right! I have nothing to do with my subordinates... It just so happens that Mr. Gu ordered my subordinates to find the commander if they have something to do."

"What's the matter?"

"In a short time, the martial arts will begin, and the young master of Ling Junhou's mansion will also participate in it. Do you need Master Gu to transfer the young master to Ningwu?"

The military marquis has been away from the court for many years, but he has been in contact with the people in the court in the past. Many pairs of eyes from the court and the public are watching where the son of the marquis is placed.

Yijing thought about it and said: "My lord is currently relying heavily on saints, but the power in the court is weak, so don't act rashly, this matter will be dealt with by myself."

The national martial arts exam is different from the literary exam. It is divided into two parts: strategy theory and martial arts exam. Among them, the martial arts exam is divided into ten grades. Wu's left and right departments, and those whose policy theory can reach the first place, will be rewarded to stay in the official position of the previous dynasty.

However, for the sake of safety, the martial arts test was divided into several batches. If too many fighters caused other accidents, both the Ningwu and Anwu armies had to send people to closely inspect and check to avoid accidents.

So a military test tossed for several months.

This time, Changming was ordered by Yijing to take everyone from the Seventh Battalion to inspect outside, but none of his acquaintances were seen, but he was so tired from running around, that when Yijing saw him again, he also found that he had lost a lot of weight , and said distressedly at the moment: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go to rest... No, there is no food in the kitchen now, go to the official's house, and I just met Tingxue."

After Chang Ming returned to his life, he had no energy left, he had nothing to eat, and he couldn't cook, so he nodded in agreement.

Xiao Tingxue also took part in the National Martial Arts Examination this year, and was already dizzy from hunger after a series of martial arts exams, so he and Li Changming reminiscing about the old days they hadn't seen in a few years were carried out amidst eating and drinking—fortunately, Xiao Shengya Made some extra meals today.

Looking at Xiao Tingxue, his appearance is six to seven points similar to that of his mother Xiao Shengya and his younger sister Xiao Tingyu, and the rest... After a closer look today, Chang Ming realized that Tong Yijing really couldn't find out the face of his father and son. , but it was obvious that Yijing frequently added vegetables to the bowls of the two evil spirits, and he must have been very happy to see his son come back from a trip.

While talking happily, Chang Ming suddenly found that Yijing's eyes seemed to be on other places, and looking back along his line of sight, he was facing the Tian Tian Fei Shuang.

What happened to this knife?Chang Ming was full of doubts and was about to speak when he suddenly realized that what Yijing was looking at was not the flying frost under the sky, but its tassels.

"The tassel, was it given by Luo Jianghong?"

Chang Ming was surprised that people like Yijing would know Luo Jianghong's name, but when he thought about it carefully, Luo Jianghong sent letters to Jianhe Valley frequently, and Yijing didn't know, so he was blind. The look on his face didn't seem to be joking or joking, on the contrary... there was a trace of heaviness, which made Chang Ming at a loss, so he could only nod and answer: "Yes."

Yijing didn't say anything more, and let him have a good meal.

The martial arts test is much faster than the literary test, and it only takes half a month to release the results.

Gan Yi was almost lying on the list, and finally found Nan Rong Xingcheng's name in the bottom few.

"A son of a dude, he just relies on his father's power. A mere national martial arts examination is so unsightly. If he is not on the list, if it is not his father, he will definitely not give him a second look."

Qu Liying on the side covered her lips and smiled when she heard the words, Gan Biao asked: "In this case, sending it to General Bai Xiangying will also delay the general, should we let it go?"

Gan Yi paused when he heard the words, looked at him strangely, and said: "Of course not, he is the son of the military officer. Yijing used his family as a link to unite several military officers, and Bai Xiangying is far away in the frontier, so we naturally have to take care of him." Use the pawn Lingjunwai. You tell Zhou Wei to send this person to the imperial guards, and hand over all bribes received."

"Yes."

Yijing glanced at the list, and his eyes fell on the two names - He Lianxianqing and Helian Qingxian, both of whom were at the top of the martial arts test. It seems that they are excellent in martial arts, but this name may be called wrong at any time , if the twin brothers or sisters return to the same place, it is really tragic.

He handed the list to Chang Ming and got up to get his cloak.

"You can find the name of Xingsheng from the bottom. I need to leave the Jianhe Valley for something. You pass the order for me. Lan Mo will act as the commander of the army and act cheaply."

"Send the officer off to the commander."

Yijing brought a lot of money to the book city, and arrived at the place where he had an appointment with Zhou Wei last time.Since Zhou Wei was impeached by Qu Liying last time, now he is a member of the military department, Wailang, and Gu Xiaowu is on the side of the official department. As long as he is dealt with, Xing Sheng can return to Jianhe Valley in a justifiable way.

When Zhou Wei saw the gold and silver brought by Yijing, he was so frightened that he almost fell under the table.

"These are too expensive, the lower officials dare not accept them!"

"It's not expensive." Yijing smiled and helped him sit down. "Half a year ago, Master Yuanwailang asked Ji, what should I do if I am willing to be tyrannical, and fish and meat people. But it's not that I shouldn't, but it's true." Difficult."

"This..." Zhou Wei rolled his eyes, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Your Excellency thinks that Prime Minister Gan is now so powerful that one or two memorials can defeat him in one fell swoop?"

"It's definitely not possible." Zhou Wei said decisively.

"So it's better to have a long-term plan for this matter." Yijing blinked, "Your Excellency was originally a doctor of the Ministry of War, but now Gan Yi impeached and demoted His Excellency in order to enrich his own pockets. It is so embarrassing now, not to mention that even though Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, is here Some 'opportunities' that can be found at this time, but all the benefits, are just Gan Yi, the adults don't have a penny, and the sages don't like it, it's really embarrassing that the rain beats the duckweed and they can't help themselves."

Zhou Wei frowned fiercely, gritted his teeth and asked, "What does the Commander mean..."

"However, in order to raise a sum of money in the martial arts, the future of adults is in trouble. Is it difficult for Gan Yi, who has all the power in the government, to promote another person to be this foreigner? Why is it wronged by adults? I still remember the one who was defeated by Gan Yi A memorial full of copies of the prefect of Xiacheng, who is a short-sighted person, has brought disaster to the fish in the pond..." Yijing protracted the end of the sound, without moving his eyes from Zhou Wei's face, and quietly looked at him with a squint, seeing that there was a wavering look on his face , I couldn't help snickering in my heart.

"Looking at the current situation, the martial arts are over. After this selection, Gan Yi may make other arrangements for your lord. In troubled times, but the traitor is powerful. After thinking about it, I can only persuade you to retreat bravely, stay wise and protect yourself, and wait after the storm. , to return to the court."

As soon as he said this, Zhou Wei was stunned.

Yijing turned a blind eye to his unbelievable eyes, and said: "This batch of gold and silver is enough for an adult to live comfortably in this life. As long as the adult agrees to my request, not only will the family be safe, but also a big thank you."

"No, I..." Zhou Wei was so frightened that he even forgot his self-modesty. At the beginning, it was only aimed at Gan Yi, but now Yijing gave him the idea of ​​resigning from office and returning to his hometown. This is simply a fantasy , he suspects that the commander of the army is out of his mind—it sounds like a lot of reason, but no one will be persuaded by such reasons.

"The commander of the army is right, please allow me to think about it." Zhou Wei immediately changed his face, showing an impatient look, which seemed very rude.

But Yijing smiled instead of anger: "Your Excellency thinks that I am not afraid of alarmist words... Have you ever thought that when the birds are exhausted and the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead?" There's nothing the officer can do."

Zhou Wei was even more annoyed. With Gan Yi's arrangement, even if he had to cook like a rabbit, how could he be kicked out of the court so early...Kicked out of the court... Thinking about it carefully, what Yijing said Not bad, Gan Xiang only knows his own interests, and he is just a pawn like a nobody, flattering and flattering, not worth a penny...

"The recent pilgrimage report, several army commanders have arrived in Wangcheng one after another, I should go to talk about the past, so I won't bother you." Yijing got up, put away the box, and said quietly: "Speaking of which, when you are in the Ministry of War, you should be with these people. The army commanders have a lot of contacts, and not long ago, I heard one of them complain that the adults took the military salary privately, and I thought it would not be a voluntary gain, but the army commanders were furious, and there were a few ghostwriters missing."

Zhou Wei's legs felt weak all of a sudden, and he couldn't stand up to salute and see him off.

Someone once reminded him that Yijing had good relations with many military officials, so these years, there were only minor storms and big waves in the court, and there was no danger. It is naturally not difficult to expel a member of the military department - as long as you don't ignite the fire. .

"What orders does the Commander have? Let's just say it, I will do my best!" Zhou Wei hurriedly stood up to stop Yijing.

"Follow the instructions of the Ministry of Officials, and send that man named Nanrong Xingsheng to the Ningwu Army." Yijing raised the corners of his lips, but his eyes did not smile, but he was very majestic, "I advise you not to leak this matter. After the matter is completed, please resign and return to your hometown immediately, don't delay, so that you can save it."

The author has something to say:

"Why should I seal the letter to you?" Yijing also said this to Chang Ming, um

Gan Yi felt helpless when she saw a son of Lord Hou who almost failed the exam
