Chapter 245: The thunder is silent, there is a reason for the troubled times
Chen Sanlang followed the other party back to the yamen and saw Zhou Fencao paced back and forth in the lobby, looking very sad. He heard the footsteps and quickly looked up and rushed forward:
"grown ups."
Pause: "You all go down first."
The constables and yamen runners were tactful and they all left one after another. Soon, Zhou Jiancao and Chen Sanlang were left in the hall.
Zhou Fencao took out a letter in his body: "Please read by sir."
Chen Sanlang took it, opened it, and read it carefully.
This letter was sent from Chang'an by Zhou Fencao's friends. Zhou Fencao had many old friends, and some friends were officials in the capital, so they could get information.
The letter was written with a very unfavorable news: the emperor was seriously ill and had been unable to attend court for a whole month.
Under such circumstances, the savages were very upset and very uneasy.
In the past, this emperor was also the master of fishing for three days and two days of drying the net, and did not manage the government. But then again, as long as he was in the palace, it would be like a flag, at least able to suppress it. However, once there was a physical problem, many things that were already ready to move would immediately explode.
The emperor's physical problems have been spread for a long time. The prince has not been appointed, which has caused the prince to fight openly and secretly, and the government and the people are divided into factions and attacking each other, which is very messy.
Zhou Fencao's friend said in a letter that many ministers had been searched and imprisoned during factional struggles. The situation was tragic. He felt panic and even had the idea of resigning from his post to avoid disasters...
Zhou Fen Cao had read this letter, so he was worried and felt a little calm when he saw Chen Sanlang come back: It is not difficult to imagine that Chang'an is now a huge vortex, and the water flows are turbulent. If people are not careful, they will be involved and suffer the murder.
"I think that when the master was named on the list of the gold medals, he was favored and appreciated by the emperor and appointed as the top scorer, how glorious? However, he wanted to be an official, and would rather come back to be a seventh-rank county magistrate than serve as a higher-ranking Hanlin Academy editor in the capital. Could it be that he had expected it and therefore left?"
Inexplicably, Zhou Fencao thought: If this is true, Chen Sanlang's maturity would be beyond imagination and he did not look like a young scholar who was emerging.
"Be a farmer in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening." The situation is very different. Not to mention young people, even older people, it is probably difficult for them to remain calm.
You should know that when the imperial examinations were released in all dynasties, it was not uncommon for the test to be ecstatic because of hearing about high school and even mad symptoms. Some were overjoyed and simply fell to the ground, staged a scene of joy and sadness.
Chen Sanlang passed the top scorer in high school, but he was very calm. Longjun invited him to write an article "Yueyang Tower Notes". It should be a reflection: do not be happy with things, do not be sad with yourself.
It's easy to say. It's really too difficult to do it.
Therefore, after this article was circulated, many "predecessors" in the Shilin said that Chen Sanlang wrote this article just to show his awesomeness and gain fame.
However, the more Zhou Fen Cao came into contact with Chen Sanlang, the more he felt that he was indeed different, but the specificity, and he felt that he was watching the flowers in the fog, and finally a layer of separation. After all, Chen Sanlang has always been away from the yamen and has been fully allowed and has not been in charge of the court at all.
He was the county magistrate, but he didn't look like an official; but Zhou Fencao clearly understood that Chen Sanlang was the irreplaceable backbone in this county government.
After reading the letter and putting down the letter paper, Chen Sanlang's expression could not tell anything.
Zhou Fencao couldn't help but say, "Sir, the emperor is seriously ill, so this matter must not be hidden. Maybe Yangzhou has already known it."
Speaking of this, my heart broke out:
Since Chen Sanlang took office, one after another has become more and more unscrupulous. Could it be that Yuan Wenchang had known that the emperor would soon be alive?
As we all know, it was the emperor who arranged for Chen Sanlang to serve as the magistrate of Jingxian County and used the imperial edict and sword as a talisman. Therefore, even if Yuan Wenchang regarded him as a thorn in his eyes, he would not directly tear his face unless he rebelled.
But once the emperor dies, the situation will change drastically. Not to mention whether Yuan Wenchang has any unfaithful intentions, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, Chen Sanlang will lose his greatest backer once the emperor and every minister.
Zhou Fencao could not help but worry. He was now on the same boat with Chen Sanlang. If the boat sank, he would die together. He was not afraid of death. The key ambitions were not fulfilled, so how could he be willing to do so?
"Sir, what do you think?"
Chen Sanlang looked over calmly.
Zhou Fencao replied: "Why can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"
He didn't say it out loud, and I believe Chen Sanlang must understand the meaning.
Chen Sanlang naturally understood and said slowly: "It may not be."
"not necessarily?"
Zhou Fencao was a little confused.
"Haha, the governor of Yuan Dynasty is a person who does big things. The more he wants to plan, the more he is too lazy to pay attention to our remote town."
Zhou Fen Cao trembled: "What do you mean... do they really dare to usurpate the rebellion?"
The sound was a little shaking.
For many old-school Confucians, their thinking habits are often difficult to turn, and they always feel that the world will not change from generation to generation.
Zhou Fencao is already quite civilized, but some things are still difficult to accept for a while.
Chen Sanlang said word by word: "Xia Yu lost his deer, and the world is going to be in chaos."
This is once again when he confessed "heart-killing words" in front of Zhou Fencao without any concealment.
Buzz!
Zhou Fencao only felt a sound in his head, his body lost strength, and he sat down on the chair, gasping for breath.
Chen Sanlang's words were like thunder, which sounded silently, shocking the heart.
...
At night, Yangzhou is prosperous.
In the Yangzhou General Office, Yuan Wenchang sat upright and meticulously. At this moment, his body was actually neatly dressed with full armor, as if the next moment, he could run out of the yamen, ride a horse and dance a knife, and go into battle to kill the enemy.
Yuan Wenchang has been in the army for many years and has been in great numbers, so he naturally has a killing aura on his body. Now he has a heavy armor and a body that has increased his momentum, like a mountain, suppressing the general yamen and the entire Yangzhou.
The prefect of Yangzhou, Wang Yingzhi, sat down below, and did not dare to take a breath.
Yuan Wenchang had not spoken yet, as if he was waiting for something.
The king knew what the governor was waiting for, about Chang'an, about the emperor, or about others.
However, no matter what it is, no one should speak for this joint eye.
Recently, the governor's actions for his beloved son Yuan Geshu were like a thunderous sound, which made the officials below jump out of their hearts.
Yuan Geshu was smart since childhood, good at reading, has strategy, and is very pleased. He held important positions in Huweiwei at a young age and was called "Major General".
For many years, many aides have regarded him as the successor to the governor. Therefore, many local officials and aides have always shown closeness to Yuan Geshu, as if they had achieved a team, waiting for Yuan Wenchang to decline in his old age.
Of course, if Yuan Wenchang had something to warm up and get cold and something unexpected happened, Yuan Geshu would be able to replace him immediately.
However, just after the end of this year, Yuan Geshu was suddenly locked up, and something happened to his confidants around him. The latest example is Mo Xuanyi.
Suddenly, everyone realized that things were not the case: Yuan Wenchang was not that old, and with his martial arts cultivation, he could still maintain his energy for many years. In this case, the people below leaned towards Yuan Geshu, which was a huge taboo.
In the royal family, violating taboos is equivalent to death; although the Yuan family is not as good as the royal family, it is obviously moving closer to that aspect, with many principles of order and even more rigorous.
Everyone woke up as if they were in a dream, and couldn't help but sweat coldly, and quickly took various remedial measures.
Yuan Wenchang also conveyed a meaning when treating Yuan Geshu: I can be merciless to my beloved son, let alone treat outsiders?
I don’t know how long it took, but the burning candle in the hall suddenly exploded with a lamp flower.
Thumb!
Someone shouted: "The Eagle Feather Guard has a secret letter to submit it."
In Yangzhou, the Huwei Guard is a powerful weapon for conquest, and the Eagle Feather Guard is an intelligence system.
“Submit it.”
Soon, an Eagle Feathered Guard walked into the court and submitted a letter sealed with red paint.
Yuan Wenchang opened it himself, glanced at it, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking very happy, and then said aloud: "Shi Mazi is back."
When Wang Yingzhi heard this, he knew that what the governor was going to wait for finally waited for, but he felt inexplicably moved in his heart and sighed: This world is in chaos! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
