Qing Jialu

Xiao Yi's light words completely stunned Shen Jia.He reacted for a long time, and asked in disbelief: "What, what?"

"Let him retire and return home." Xiao Yi repeated.

Even though Shen Jia was annoyed by Mr. Cheng Ge's book just now, he didn't intend to drive away the master.Moreover, whether the chief assistant will stay or stay is related to the country, and it is no small matter.

Shen Jia became anxious, and immediately dissuaded her: "Wei Ming, if you do this, the world will say that you have lost your bird."

After all, Cheng Ge had been following Xiao Yi during Yongwen's reign, following him to rebel and plan the layout.Even after he became the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Cheng Ge was still loyal. During his tenure, he did not do anything to betray Xiao Yi, nor did he form a party for personal gain.

"Didn't you say you don't care about fame?" Xiao Yi said in a relaxed tone, "I don't care about these false names either."

"But, master, he is a loyal minister..."

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, he is loyal, but he can't help me reform."

"So you're giving up?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, "The way of the emperor has always been so cruel, without any friendship at all. Changqing, maybe one day, I will abandon you for the sake of the overall situation."

Xiao Yi smiled and said cruel words, and the two looked at each other silently for a moment, as if they wanted to see each other's heart.

Suddenly, Shen Jia let out a "puchi" and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Yi frowned, very puzzled.

"Do you think you can easily abandon me?" Shen Jia knew that Xiao Yi was deliberately teasing himself again, "I will stalk you and keep chasing you so that you can't get rid of me."

Xiao Yi took a deep look at Shen Jia, thinking that this person is really as straightforward and innocent as ever, and the things he believes will never change.

"The master has left, and the chief assistant of the cabinet will be handed over to Mr. Han Ge?" Shen Jiayan returned to the topic, and now he has to accept the replacement of the chief assistant.

"Yes. He is the first assistant, and you are the second assistant. The cabinet will not add anyone for the time being." Xiao Yi had already thought about this problem. Shen Jia is young and at the cusp of the storm, and needs a few more years of experience.Currently, Han Chang is the best candidate.

Shen Jia completely agreed with Xiao Yi's decision, and he asked again: "Then why is the current Chief Assistant Minister dismissed? How should this edict be written?"

"I draw up it myself." Xiao Yi said, "Don't get involved with the cabinet."

You know, Shen Jia and Han Chang are both students of Cheng Ge, so it is not appropriate for either of them to draw up the decree.Students who drive away their masters will be stabbed in the back by the literati.

"The imperial decree will not be recognized by the cabinet without the approval of the cabinet. Your Majesty, please submit this decree to the cabinet for draft." Shen Jia said solemnly.

In private before, Shen Jia had always called Xiao Yi's nickname.Now addressing "Your Majesty" in a serious manner shows that he wants to do business in a business-like manner and will never compromise.

"You want to write it yourself?" Xiao Yi instantly saw through Shen Jia's intention.

"Yes." Shen Jia admitted, "I said, I don't care."

"This is different. Heaven and earth, master and master, how can you be rebellious?"

Shen Jia said indifferently: "I have no father or mother, and I have been ambiguous with the king for a long time. Now it is nothing to add another charge of driving away the teacher."

"Shen Jia, if you do this, you have drawn a clear line with the civil servants and completely broke up." Xiao Yiyu persuaded earnestly, "Even Han Chang dare not get too close to you. You will become a lonely minister. In the future If there is no one to help you, you cannot protect yourself.”

"It's enough for me to have you." Shen Jia said, "If one day you don't even stand by my side, then what do I need others to help?"

"You are crazy. No one has ever dared to offend the entire civil society. You are killing yourself."

"Xiao Weiming, I cut off my own retreat, from now on I will only follow you." Shen Jia said lightly, "Please don't hesitate anymore, don't hesitate anymore, don't ask me again and again if I am afraid."

Shen Jia had already discovered that Xiao Yi's feelings for them were not firm.He is always afraid, always swaying.So he always likes to test Shen Jia, always asking questions like "Do you care", "Dare you dare", "Are you afraid".

Xiao Yi was touched by Shen Jia's words. After seeing Cheng Ge's secret report today, he really felt a wave of fear in his heart, and even wanted to shrink back.If Shen Jia hadn't been steadfast, Xiao Yi might have compromised with the world again.

"All right, all right, I'll give you the pen." Xiao Yi got up and waved his hand, angrily said, "You can write whatever you like, anyway, I can't control you."

After all, he left the inner hall without looking back.

Shen Jia looked at Xiao Yi's back and smiled knowingly.

Shen Jia drew up the decree, Xiao Yi immediately stamped the jade seal, and the two of them kept this matter very secret.Three days later, when the imperial decree was promulgated, the whole world was shocked, and everyone was shocked by the emperor's thunderous means.

The civilian group was caught off guard, and they didn't even have time to react.Jin Yiwei came to the door early in the morning to announce the decree. After receiving the imperial decree, Mr. Cheng Ge was completely dumbfounded.He checked every word of the imperial edict repeatedly, but still couldn't believe that Xiao Yi would be so cruel and decisive.

He thought that they had friendship between monarchs and ministers.Unexpectedly, everything is like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, which will break at the touch of a finger.

Jin Yiwei Commander Jiang finished reading the imperial decree, and then personally escorted Cheng Weiting to leave Beijing, which took less than half a day.Afterwards, the more than 200 officials who refused to leave for a long time also handed in their official seals wisely and left sadly.

The incident happened so suddenly that Han Chang didn't even have time to see his mentor off for the last time.When he heard the news and hurriedly chased him out of the capital, Cheng Ge's frame had already gone far.Facing the empty official road, Han Chang felt melancholy.

"Brother Han." Suddenly, someone called him from behind.

Han Chang turned his head and saw Shen Jia walking slowly, alone.

"Old Shen Ge, what do you mean?" Han Chang became furious when he saw Shen Jia, "Why do you want to drive away your mentor, what does His Majesty think, why don't you try to dissuade him, but write an edict for His Majesty instead? "

Han Chang was incoherent in anger.On the contrary, Shen Jia was very calm, he did not defend himself, and admitted: "This matter was done by me alone, and Brother Han will not be implicated."

"Don't dare to call 'Brother Han'." Han Chang said coldly, he looked in the direction of the official road, "Have you seen your mentor?"

"Yes." Shen Jia left the palace early in the morning, just to see Cheng Ge's old side here.

"What did the master say?"

"Say..." Shen Jia lowered her head and smiled wryly, "What else can I say, you scolded me."

Cheng Weiting's words of scolding face to face are much more ruthless than Mi Zhe.He made no secret of his contempt for Shen Jia, and even said things like expelling Shen Jia from the school.

Shen Jia accepted all the master's anger silently, without a word of rebuttal or justification.He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to his mentor's back.

The sky is high and the road is far away. From now on, master and apprentice will never meet again.

Han Chang couldn't understand Shen Jia's actions, he sighed, "It's irreversible for my mentor to leave the capital now. Then I just want to ask you, was your majesty's sudden dismissal of the chief assistant, was it at your instigation?"

Shen Jia sighed in her heart, shook her head and said, "No."

"Okay, I believe you." Han Chang said, "But Mr. Shen Ge, I still can't forgive you for writing the draft edict. I dare not have a close relationship with a hard-hearted person like you. From now on, you and I are just colleagues."

Not long ago, Han Chang helped him clean up the dust, and the two of them drank together.Who would have thought that after just over a month, Han Chang would break up with him.What Xiao Yi said was indeed true, he would never have friends again above the court.

At this moment Shen Jia had already accepted the result, he said indifferently: "I know."

Han Chang took a deep look at Shen Jia, got on his horse and left without saying anything.
