Chapter 1269 Political victory and failure have nothing to do with caution

It seems that Yunchu is going to blame the copper shortage on the unscrupulous merchants instead of looking for those who melted the copper coins into copper and then cast them into cannons, causing the copper price to soar.

Wu Chengsi felt that Yunchu today no longer had the courage and courage of the past.

It is estimated that Yunchu has already discussed with the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division. This action is just to catch a few unlucky merchants and cover up the soaring copper price in Chang'an.

Therefore, Wu Chengsi wrote a special proposal and sent an official to the Hundred Cavalry Division to finish the matter.

The proposals of Chang'an and Wannian counties appeared on the desk of Hechun, the new Grand Commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division of Chang'an. After carefully weighing the two proposals, he cut off the beginning and signature of the proposal sent by Lu Zhaolin, and pasted the most important part in the middle to the proposal sent by Wu Chengsi, and then handed it over to the left and right commanders to execute.

If the Hundred Cavalry Division is dispatched, Chang'an City will surely be in chaos.

Fortunately, the people have no fear of the Hundred Cavalry Division riding on fine horses and carrying horizontal swords. Over the years, the people of Chang'an have understood that the Hundred Cavalry Division is very scary, but it has nothing to do with them, because even if they kill people, it is the constables and the bad guys who come to arrest them, and there is no need for the Hundred Cavalry Division to dispatch.

But this time, seeing that the Hundred Cavalry Division is actually arresting scholars and painters, this sounds very strange.

The strangest thing is that after these people were arrested, they were sent directly to the Chang'an Zhaoyu managed by the Hundred Cavalry Division.

What is Zhaoyu?

It is a place where officials cannot enter if they are not of high enough rank. Now, so many scholars and painters have been arrested. The know-it-alls in Chang'an think there is only one possibility, that these people have offended His Majesty the Emperor.

Lu Zhaolin was waiting for the receipt from the Hundred Cavalry Division to run away, so he had prepared his horses, dry food, etc. However, he waited for two days in fear at the Wannian County Office, but did not receive the receipt.

Without the receipt from the Hundred Cavalry Division, he had no way to leave Chang'an. Just when he was about to leave Chang'an regardless of anything, he saw the receipt from Wu Chengsi from Yunchu.

Two documents went up, but only one receipt came, which made Lu Zhaolin very confused.

Until he read the entire receipt, his first feeling was that he bought the BMW too hastily.

I don't know if the people from the Hundred Cavalry Division were lazy or negligent, and they actually combined the two petitions into one and removed his name.

Coming out of Yunchu's official office and seeing Wu Chengsi, Lu Zhaolin was willing to greet Wu Chengsi for the first time. He really didn't expect that the Wu brothers would actually think that doing this was a great achievement. In order to monopolize the credit, they squeezed him, Lu Zhaolin, out of the credit book.

Lu Zhaolin felt that he had no way to repay such a great favor, so he had to be more pious when he greeted him.

Wu Chengsi naturally felt Lu Zhaolin's piety.

In the past, Lu Zhaolin, as Yun Chu's confidant, was somewhat dissatisfied and even a little contemptuous of him. Now, it seems that this smart man has also seen that Yun Chu's position is shaky and is ready to hug his thigh.

For such talented people, as long as they can be used by him, Wu Chengsi has always been generous. If Lu Zhaolin can join his command, Wu Chengsi, who knows his talent, decides to treat him well. After all, talents are rare, but fools who are submissive to him are everywhere.

"Six days later, it will be my son's 100th birthday. Mr. Lu must come to my humble home and have a few drinks."

Hearing Wu Chengsi talking and laughing with him, and even inviting him to his home for a drink, Lu Zhaolin also smiled and said: "Of course, of course, the county lord is happy to have a unicorn child, this is a great joy, even if the county lord does not invite, I will definitely come to congratulate."

Wu Chengsi was even happier after hearing this, and shook Lu Zhaolin's hand and said: "In this case, an invitation will be sent to your house tomorrow."

Lu Zhaolin responded enthusiastically, saying that he would definitely go to congratulate when the auspicious time came.

Before Wu Chengsi walked into the Yunchu official residence, he looked back at Lu Zhaolin's back. Today, he had said that if Lu Zhaolin sent a generous gift to his family, it would mean that this person had the intention of getting close to him. At that time, they could have a good talk.

Arriving at Yunchu's official residence, Wu Chengsi took the receipt from the Hundred Cavalry Division and casually tucked it under his arm and said to Yunchu: "My Lord, there are many things going on in Steel City. In ten days, I will move the office to the construction site. I wonder if you have any other instructions?"

Yunchu looked at the receipt under Wu Chengsi's ribs with an incomprehensible expression and said slowly: "Aren't you going to take a closer look at the receipt from the Hundred Cavalry Division?"

Wu Chengsi opened the receipt and took a look at it, then said in surprise: "Capturing the literati who wrote the cannon poem and the painter who drew the cannon diagram, these two are not what I said."

Yunchu said indifferently: "Take a closer look."

Wu Chengsi saw Yunchu's solemn expression, so he found a seat and began to carefully read this detailed and incomprehensible receipt.

When he finished reading it, his whole body was like being fished out of the water, and his clothes were all soaked with sweat.

Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi, who looked pale, and said, "What on earth have you done? How many people do you want to kill before you stop?"

Wu Chengsi shouted in panic, "In the petition I wrote, I only asked the Hundred Cavalry Division to help us find out who is hoarding copper coins, and I never asked for a thorough investigation of who is casting cannons."

Yun Chu was shocked and quickly stood up and ordered Yin Erhu, "Bring the archived petition."

Wu Chengsi, who was sweating profusely, immediately urged after hearing this: "Go quickly, go quickly."

After a while, Yin Erhu brought the county government filing slip. Yun Chu opened it, took a look at it and said to Wu Chengsi in confusion: "It does not match the content on the receipt."

Wu Chengsi quickly looked at the filing records and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is what the official wrote."

Yunchu asked again: "Did you personally send the note?"

Wu Chengsi said awkwardly: "Send your scribes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chengsi hurriedly said goodbye to Yun Chu: "I will go back to deal with this matter."

Yun Chu said worriedly: "Go quickly, go quickly, report any news immediately."

Lu Zhao, who was in the official house opposite, saw Wu Chengsi running away as if he had an arrow in his butt. He came to Yunchu's official house again and said, "Thank you for your care, sir."

Yunchu sighed and said, "It's not me."

Lu Zhaolin was stunned when he heard this and said, "In other words, someone is dealing with the Wu brothers?"

Yun Chu raised his eyes and said indifferently: "There is nothing new in the world, and there are no secrets in Wannian County."

Lu Zhaolin let out a long breath and said, "It's really like what the Lord said. I'm humble and humble, but even if I want to participate, others won't look down on me.

Junhou, are you really firmly holding Wu Chengsi’s head like this shit? "

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It seems that Chang'an has been freed from the whirlpool this time. Of the three strategies you gave him, luck is the first one. As for Wu Chengsi, it will be difficult for him to escape this time. "

Lu Zhaolin chuckled and said, "Since some people don't want Chang'an to get involved, let's not let down their good intentions. Our Wannian County Yamen will continue to stay out of the matter."

Yun Chu was convinced.

When the sun turned west, there was still no further news from Wu Chengsi. No matter how the Wu brothers tortured the scribe, the scribe insisted that he had not tampered with the records.

Things are very troublesome at this point. If it was not changed by the scribe, then it could only be changed by Baiqisi.

Yun Chu did not continue to wait for the news. When the time came, he left his job and went home.

The scholars at home who wanted to anger Yun Chu and fight for a good reputation finally disappeared. Among them, Yun Chu hoped that a few speculators would appear to kill chickens and monkeys, but in the end, there were none. This made Yun Chu I was laughed at by Yu Xiurong for several days at first.

Yunchu stood at his polo field and watched a women's polo match. There were many painters coming to the polo field today. It seemed that there must be women with good figures coming to play on the field.

Yunchu watched for a while and found that many women playing polo today had horrifyingly plump buttocks. After careful study, he felt that it was impossible for ordinary women to have as plump buttocks as watermelons, so he went home regretfully.

After returning home, Fei Liu brought the tea. Yun Chu took a sip and saw that Fei Liu, who turned around, also had an exaggerated buttocks.

When Yu Xiurong saw her husband looking at her, she said with a cold face: "I didn't!"

Yun Chu lamented: "Everything is fake, who will dare to get interested in it in the future?"

Yu Xiurong said: "This is your daughter's business."

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said: "She sells embroidery, ready-made clothes, and rouge and gouache. How could she think of helping those women to cheat? No wonder there seem to be more and more women with big breasts and fat butts in Chang'an City recently."

Yu Xiurong said: "Mei Yu'er and Sisi went home for dinner today and said that the food cooked by the chef at the princess's house was not delicious."

Yun Chu said: "Our family is a small house with less than thirty acres. This is the result of continuous expansion over the years. A princess's house covers an area of ​​more than two hundred acres. If you can't live in a nice big house, you have to come here." The house is crowded.”

Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "The children are very filial, so just go on with it properly. My husband is in a good mood today, and he still has time to pay attention to Fei Liu's butt. It seems that the troubles are over?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Just sit back and watch. Now, the emperor is still mourning the death of the giant bear. In order to appease His Majesty, the Crown Prince and Naha are planting bamboos every day in Jiucheng Palace to please His Majesty. .

This is good. The Tang Dynasty has its own mature bureaucratic system that can govern the Tang Dynasty very well. The emperor should mourn the spring and autumn, and the prince should work hard to grow bamboo. In this way, the world can be peaceful. "

Yu Xiurong said: "So, the Queen is the only one who is ignorant, right?"

Yun Chu looked at Yu Xiurong and said: "A woman who grows flowers and grass at home, studies cooking, embroidery and other things is actually quite good. If she is too competent in politics, she will bore the men in the family."

Yu Xiurong said thoughtfully: "In that case, I will take the whole family to the Bashang fiefdom to escape the summer tomorrow, and by the way, I will serve Master Xuanzang who lives in Baiyun Temple."
