Chapter 753: Put it on the candlelight

"People's hearts are getting more and more dispersed." But Cao Yiyan knew that this matter should not be taken to these people.

First of all, the people from the court suddenly attacked, which was indeed hard to guard against. More importantly, this group of people was the last seed of the last Wei Dynasty in Beijing.

"We must complete the revival of the Great Wei in my generation, otherwise, I am afraid there will be no hope."

In fact, Cao Yiyan knew that if it were not for the hope of Yingguo, even this group of people would have dispersed and no longer existed.

After a long time, Cao Yiyan broke the silence and frowned and said, "The first broken stronghold is the stronghold where Chen Sanyu lives. It is just the tracking of King Dai. Is it related to King Dai?"

"Young Master, this matter may not be the case." Liu Danaixian said: "The King of Dai is very popular today. The fact that he showed his saints in the daytime immediately brought the King of Dai to the forefront."

After a pause, Liu Danai glanced at everyone and said one by one what happened to the Minister's Mansion. These people had never heard of them and were stunned.

Zhong Cui also said: "Unless King Dai is a fool, he would not know how dangerous this matter is, whether it is a disaster or a blessing. But is King Dai a fool? Obviously not, he probably fell into the trap!"

"Because of being trapped, it means that the Dai King is unable to protect himself now, and it also means that in addition to the Dai King, there is a more mysterious force, and he also plots against us and the Dai King."

"Even the power of Dai King can calculate, you can imagine how terrible it is. And the Dai King has encountered this. If you don't have a tail between your legs, can you still have time to calculate us?" Zhong Cui's voice was gloomy and awe-inspiring, and he was obviously very alert to this.

"So, the King of Dai should be excluded."

His own people and strongholds were broken after nightfall. King Dai really felt like this at this moment?

Besides, after years of infiltration, my own people have some people everywhere. Although the Dai Wang Mansion has been cleaned up several times before, the people who have been inserted in the past have been cleaned up long ago, but the information obtained from other places can also be inferred that tonight, the Dai Wang Mansion will be too busy to take care of itself!

When Cao Yiyan heard this, he frowned slightly. In his heart, he still put the threat of the Dai King first.

He didn't know why he thought so, but he subconsciously felt that this matter had nothing to do with the King of Dai.

But Zhong Cui said something reasonable. For the King of Dai, things during the day are not only not blessings, but also great disasters.

This matter cannot be done by King Dai himself, but it was not done by King Dai, nor by his own people. The information obtained through his people seems to have nothing to do with King Qi and King Shu, so who did it?

Who is the person behind it?

Could it be that it is really a new force that has nothing to do with the Dian King?

"King Dai?"

Cao Yiyan thought again that although he was unlucky, it was obvious that King Dai was even more unlucky. He had just lost the stronghold in the capital, but King Dai might die immediately and be killed by the emperor!

He couldn't figure out who the person behind him was, but he didn't know why, even if he was in trouble, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy!

Even so many people died, they could not escape this inexplicable joy. It seemed that only when the Dai King died could he remove the faint heavy stone in his heart.

"Two stars invade the Emperor's Star." Cao Yiyan thought about it. Could it be that besides himself, there is another star that represents the King of Dai, who is fighting for his destiny?

As soon as he thought about it, the sound of horse hooves came from outside, and everyone in the room immediately changed color and stood up and pressed the handle of the knife.

The little eunuch kept guarding the door and came in at this moment, reporting: "The Imperial City Division and even the Tiqi in the Palace passed by, but they were not here to find us!"

But this place is not far from the palace, and it is snowing at night. At this time, Ti rode over, and there were not only one or two people. Could something big happened?

"Go up and take a look." Because of concern, Cao Yiyan hurried to the second floor quickly, opened the window a little, and looked into the alley.

Sure enough, I saw knights riding horses, very fast, but the person passing by still let him see his outfit clearly!

It's Tiqi!

This shocked Cao Yiyan, and he hid several people at several side doors outside. He came back for a moment and reported to Cao Yiyan what had just passed.

"Is it really Tiqi? Or is the leader of the eunuch Ma Shunde? You're not mistaken?"

"Young master, I'm absolutely right, I must be Ma Shunde!" Liu Danai said. He had good eyes since childhood and could see people fifty meters away. The distance in the snow was shorter at night, so he could understand it.

Cao Yiyan couldn't help but think, it's too late, Ma Shunde and the Tiqi went out in a hurry, where were they going?

My own side?

I won’t have to lead Ma Shunde if I have a few secrets, but I won’t be able to lead the team in Ma Shunde, could it be...

Cao Yiyan's eyes suddenly lit up and she thought of a possibility.

Liang Mansion

"It's not easy to see the capital!" Liang Yuyin sent the people to the door, and a cold wind rushed in with snow immediately, making people shudder. He looked at the people who came away and sighed.

"Husband, you have borrowed another fifty taels of silver. Even if you support your juniors, you won't be like this?" Mrs. Liang Qian went up to close the door and said complainingly.

"There is no way to do this. I am a fifth-rank bachelor's degree, but my annual salary is only 124 taels and 5 cents. The minimum annual expense of a Beijing official is 300 taels, and the annual overdraft is 200 taels. How can these new Jinshis, the seventh and eighth ranks, and if there are poor families, how can they bear it?"

"If you can, borrow it!"

The capital official was so poor that he "can't raise fires". Liang Yuyin understood this deeply. Seeing that Liang Qian did not agree, he touched a chubby big raccoon cat from the wing room and said, "How can you know the key points!"

"No matter what, they are new Jinshi. After two years of political observation, they are the county magistrates at the worst. How could they not repay the money they owe me?"

"Besides, even if you become a full-time official, even if you are a county magistrate, you will have the money to raise money. How can you be poor?"

"When it comes to the silver for raising integrity, why do you have seventh-rank county magistrates, but you don't?" Liang Qian said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you need to raising integrity?"

The reason why Liang Yuyin was able to own a small house in the Pilgrimage Lane two or three miles away from the palace was irrelevant. He was born into an official family, but he was just a local official and could not reach the capital. This house was given to his wife's family.

Even so, no one cares about the money, and the lady has a lot of opinions.

"You are a woman's opinion. Do you know what kind of raising integrity silver? It only depends on the name?" Liang Yuyin couldn't laugh and cry: "Like vulgar people among the people, I think raising integrity silver is to cultivate the integrity habits of officials with high salaries and avoid corruption?"

"How could the court pay ten to one hundred times the official salary to individuals?"

"Official government offices only receive salaries and official officials, and are supported by the court. Other staff members, accounting staff, coachmen, etc., and even some officials, don't receive salaries, but these are essential."

"To maintain the operation of the government, officials must find ways to obtain expenses, fire consumption, envy, ice and charcoal, and filial piety. It is not direct embezzlement, but it is really necessary, so the emperor also recognizes it - but the process often becomes an excuse for corruption."

"The so-called "supporting integrity silver" is not to give officials a private pocket, but to not spend money on fire, envy the rest of the country, ice and charcoal, and filial piety, the court directly allocated office expenses - in the future, no corruption is allowed, so it is called "supporting integrity silver"."

"Why is the salary of raising integrity silver usually ten times a hundred times, and only the official has it? It is because the official is to support the yamen, and the deputy officials do not need to support the yamen. So even if I am a fifth-rank official, I don't have the yamen, but I am not a regular official!"

"The maintenance of the integrity is office expenses. If ordinary people don't understand it, you are the daughter of the Minister of Rites. You don't understand it. Haven't you heard from your father and brother?"

After Liang Yuyin finished speaking, she saw the wife with a look of "I haven't heard of it" and "How can I (not accept it)" and sighed and waved her hand: "What am I talking about to you? Women are women!"

After saying this, Liang Yuyin entered the study, took out a long box, took out a scroll, and slowly unfolded it.

This is a "Dragon Girl Frame Picture", which is painted by Panlong Lake. Someone watched it. The clouds and mists on the lake are hidden, and all gods are following each other. The belts are swaying. The dragon girl is surrounded by clouds and wind rings. The dragon girl is just frowning with her eyebrows, and she seems unhappy.

"The Dragon Girl is the Dragon Lord, what are the worries?" Liang Yuyin admired it carefully. He and the King of Dai were theoretically classmates, but one was the top scorer and the other was the second scorer.

Once he was appointed as an official, he was an editor of the Hanlin Academy and was a seventh rank. It was also good. Because of his youth, Qian Xu, the Minister of Rites, who was known as the Minister of Rites, married his youngest daughter, and felt proud.

"With my father-in-law being the backstage, why worry about the career failure with my talent?"

Sure enough, within a few years, I was even promoted to several levels and became a bachelor's degree. What is the top scholar for me?

Unexpectedly, Su Ziji became the prince in a blink of an eye, and suddenly became the nobleman of Tianhuang, Long Zi and Long Grandson. He wanted to make a relationship, but he couldn't bear to face for a while.

"You can't be pretentious when you become an official."

Thinking of her overcoming her face and finally finding Mobao at the party with her friendship of the same year, Liang Yuyin was also a little proud.

"You are not from the same origin as you, but you are good at dancing, you are not as good as me."

At this time, the wife came in with the hot meal, took it off the tray and put it in place, and said, "Husband, do you know that something big happened today?"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Liang Yuyin asked casually, still very satisfied with his wife. The youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites was originally a eldest lady, but after marrying, she still made soup with her own hands, which was virtuous.

Liang Qian said, "During the day, King Dai went to the Minister's Mansion to observe the rituals, but the gods showed their saints and even saluted the King Dai! I heard that there were dragons who rushed into the King Dai's arms directly. Husband, you said, if the Emperor knew about this, he would definitely pay more attention, right?"

She had to say something, but she saw that her husband's face changed suddenly!

"Don't speak nonsense!" Liang Hanlin immediately scolded, it was rare for the first time to sternly. After saying that, he looked at the scroll and his face changed.

This is the calligraphy of the King Dai that I only asked for not long ago!

Not warmed up yet!

Finally, he opened and looked at the paintings and characters on it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Poetry, calligraphy and painting can be called the three wonders."

After admiring, I put it directly on the candlelight. Suddenly, the green fire became prosperous and a corner had been lit.
