Outside Datong City, in a military camp.

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

An army was waving the sword in their hands with bare arms. Everyone's eyes looked murderous, and the wounds on their bodies showed their courage.

Among the nine armies, everyone has recognized the Shi Family Army as the "No. 1 in the World", and every Shi Family Army soldier has already received great glory.

However, Shihuashan’s military management philosophy is strict. Even in this peaceful period, there is no slackness and he trains his soldiers every day.

Although the soldiers of the Shi family were invincible and were also famous in the Jiubian, they actually did not have too much pride and were almost exhausted by Shi Huashan almost every day.

It was also influenced by the severe style of Shihuashan. Now the appearance of the soldiers in Datong has been completely renewed, and it seems that they are preparing for the subsequent decisive battle every day.

Perhaps because of the hard work of training, the monthly trip to the frontier is actually the day they look forward to most, and it is also the opportunity for them to find sheep whip to earn extra money.

"Dissolve!"

When Shi Huashan heard the personal soldiers coming to report, he suddenly issued an order.

ah?

The soldiers who were training thought there was something wrong with their ears, and couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't expect that when there was still half a stick of incense before the end, their general actually let them squeeze them.

As the movement came from the gate, when I saw clearly that the major general returned with a majestic girl, I suddenly realized.

The main accountant of Shihuashan personally received Lin Pingchang and said with a positive attitude: "Kang Dazhi's affairs are my negligence in governing the army, and I did not realize the great harm to Altan in advance! I also asked Guanqian Bo to go back and tell Lord Lin that if this situation occurs under my command, Shihuashan will be ashamed of his cultivation for a long time, so I personally brought my head to meet him!"

Although Kang Dazhi was his former personal soldier, he has always been selfless in his work, so naturally he could not cover up Kang Dazhi, and some of them were just a kind of self-blame.

When Shi Hao saw his father expressing his opinion, he knew that his father was not aware of Kang Dazhi's affairs, and looked at Lin Pingchang with a hint of earnestness.

"General Shi, don't misunderstand it! The reason why I came here in person is not that my brother doesn't believe in General Shi, but that my brother hopes to block this hole quickly and uses it to convey his attitude to Jiubian!" Lin Pingchang also explained seriously in the face of Shi Huashan's statement.

Shi Huashan felt Lin's sincerity and said humbly: "After all, if you persist for another year or two, Altan will definitely be in trouble, so you must not be wasted at this time. Lord Lin's thoughts and thoughts are far-reaching. Even if we do not understand his painstaking efforts, we cannot suspect Lord Lin. We just worked hard to go here!"

"It's okay. I have liked to run around since I was a child. This errand is actually just what I want!" Lin Pingchang said with two eyebrows raised lightly and he looked cunning.

Seeing this, Shi Huashan couldn't help but think of Hu Niu when he was in Leizhou City. The man in front of him was really a wild girl. Then he thought that his son had been with Hu Niu for a while, and his son became more cheerful at that time, so he couldn't help but turn his head and look at his son next to him.

Shi Hao found that his father looked over, but he mistakenly thought that his father was asking him what he meant, so he expressed his serious statement: "Dad, if he was on the standpoint of Master Lin, it would undoubtedly be the best way to send a boss to solve this matter. This move can quickly eliminate Kang Dazhi and convey Master Lin's position to other areas on the Nine Borders. Master Lin is indeed not targeting you!"

"Boy, why don't I know that Lord Lin is the thunder and Fengxing who does practical things, and I want you to talk too much!" Shi Huashan immediately scolded, and then looked at Lin Pingchang gently and said, "I have worked hard this time. Please stay here for a few days. I can do my best to make the landlords' friendship and ensure that you can eat, drink, and have fun!"

"No! The world's No. 1 Horse Finals are held on the horse farm. I have to go back to be a judge and award presentation!" Lin Pingchang shook his head and refused when facing this invitation.

When Shi Hao heard this response, his eyes flashed with a hint of loss.

Shi Huashan's eyes lit up and he carefully verified: "Guan Qiangguo, did you give the horse from the competition to the madman last time?"

"Although the horse was given to General Horse, he had to send the horse back to the horse farm every spring, and it was not said that it was all his!" Lin Pingchang explained with a serious expression when he heard this.

Shi Huashan's eyes were brighter, and he looked a little embarrassed and said, "Crown Scarf, the black whirlwind of the horse madman is really powerful. You are the best choice for choosing a thousand-mile horse. Can you... give me the head horse of this competition?" Speaking of this, he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I will return the horse back every spring!"

Shi Hao knew very well that his father was fond of horses, and his father's leg injury could not be cured. Although he felt that it was embarrassing to be so timid, he looked at Lin Pingchang with anticipation.

"Well... OK, I can give you the head horse this time, but you must abide by the agreement to return the spring!" Lin Pingchang thought for a moment, and then immediately agreed.

For her, the horse farm is not short of thousands of miles of horses, and she mainly wants to improve the quality of the Ming army horses, so she only needs good horses to breed in spring.

Shi Huashan was overjoyed and warmly greeted Lin Pingchang for dinner, and specially prepared local chicken legs for Lin Pingchang.

After dinner, Lin set out immediately to return to the capital.

In fact, it was not just because she wanted to return to the horse court to host the world's No. 1 Marseille, but because she had learned that the conflict between her brother and Xu Jie was intensified, and she also wanted to rush back to help.

Sometimes she really doesn't understand why the bad guys can't be eliminated quickly, but she has been in the position of chief minister to harm the people of the world.

If it weren't for the existence of my brother, the current Ming Dynasty would not only limit pig iron production, but it would have to impose a tax of three years. I wonder how many people starved to death in the wilderness.

Shi Hua knew that Lin was usually free to come and go, so he told his son seriously: "Shi Hao, you will take someone to escort the Guanzi Bo back to Beijing. If there is any mistake on the way, I will kill you!"

"Abide by the order!" Shi Hao received the order happily, and led his most elite flintlock rifle team to escort Lin Pingchang back to Beijing.

Lin usually rode a tall red horse, but with a light shout, he stepped onto the palace road passing through the east like a red shadow.

The sky here is full of red clouds, but at this time the capital is filled with a doomsday scene with black clouds covering the city and an storm is coming.

The struggles in the court have become increasingly fierce. It is particularly rumored that the Xu Party will promote the establishment of the crown prince tomorrow. It is conceivable how intense the morning court will become.

However, as the content of Hai Rui's memorial was spread, Xu Jie's reputation had dropped to a historical low. If he had not had a large number of disciples in the capital, he would have been completely despised by the people in the capital.

"Is this kind of person rare to get rid of? Isn't it true that his Xu family's tax evasion?"

"Haha... Is there any benefit from Xu Jie gaining from the expansion of Chengtian Palace?"

"Justice is in the hearts of the people. Hai Rui is right. He is more hateful than Yan!"

"If the court really has to fight, I support Lin Qingtian to clear the clouds and see the sun for the Ming Dynasty!"

...

After learning the latest situation, the people and scholars in the capital did not worry too much about Xu Jie's future reincarnation by supporting the eldest son of the emperor. They pointed their finger at the virtuous prime minister who was elected by the Shanxi Gang.

With the complex values ​​of the court, in the simple and hard-working public, Xu Jie was obviously wrong this time, and the court should have dismissed Xu Jie, the chief minister.

Of course, these people are groups that are out of power after all. No matter how righteous indignant they are, they will not affect the final direction of the court.

When they went to the yamen, officials from various yamen offices packed up their things and prepared to go home, and the rush-hearted officials had already walked out of the yamen gate.

The Forbidden City seems very quiet, but the corridor next to Tai Chi Gate welcomes an uninvited guest.

Wu Shilai, the engineering department manager, did not follow his colleagues out of the Forbidden City, but walked straight through the square and into the institution responsible for submitting memorials to the emperor.

He was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing. He was first appointed as the Promotion Office of Songjiang Prefecture. Later, thanks to the promotion of his teacher Xu Jie, he became a criminal magistrate who everyone respected.

In order to repay Xu Jie's favor for promotion and to eliminate traitors for the country, he wrote a memorial to impeach Song and his son for recruiting power. However, Yan Song was favored at that time and even guessed that his hometown was the entourage, so he put him in jail with Zhang Chong and Dong Chuance, who were also in court and forced to confess to the entourage.

After all, he was a backbone man, but he did not recruit his own teacher. He was eventually guarded by the court in Hengzhou, Guangxi, and was stunned for eight years.

Fortunately, he did not die in Guangxi. With the new emperor ascending the throne, he and Zhang Chong and Dong Chuan were also "rehabilitated", and he returned to the court to serve as the engineering department chief.

The fifteen-year official career is not very exciting, but I am afraid that few people can experience the sufferings of the world like him for eight years.

The fat eunuch of the foreman was about to pack up his things and leave, but when he looked up, he saw Wu Shilai walking in. He couldn't help but look at Wu Shilai and said in confusion: "Mr. Wu, are you?"

"I naturally have to submit a memorial to come here. Please submit this memorial to you now!" Wu Shilai and the eunuch kept drawing a clear line, and took out a memorial from his sleeve expressionlessly.

The fat eunuch looked up at the sky with some embarrassment, then lowered his voice and explained: "Old Master Xu had already explained that he would send all the memorials from Kedao to him first. But now it is getting late, so Mr. Xu is probably no longer in Wenyuan Pavilion. Now he has to send them to the Wenshu room. Why don't you come again tomorrow?"

It was indeed too coincidental. If it were earlier, he would have chosen a memorial that was not conducive to Xu Jie and sent it to Wenyuan Pavilion for Xu Jie to deal with it, but he would not have to send it to the Silijianwen Office as he is now.

A little eunuch next to him noticed the movement here, but pretended not to hear it, and continued to pretend to be tidying up the documents there.

But I knew that Xu Kun had a good relationship with his boss, and that any memorials that were not conducive to Xu Jie would be handed over to Xu Jie to deal with. He was simply the guardian of the Xu family.

"Ge Xu is my teacher. Do you think I will submit a memorial to impeach me?" Wu Shilai's brows frowned slightly, but he asked unhappily.

When Fatty Superintendent heard this, he immediately smiled and took the memorial: "Hehe... I'm thinking too much about the miscellaneous family, so you can handle it!"

"Eunuch Xu, do whatever you want. Tai Chi Sect has a business charter!" Wu Shilai was angry and warned seriously.

The fat chief did not expect that Wu Shilai was an official with such a personality. He couldn't help but feel displeased, but he still smiled on his face and said, "Mr. Wu said, I must do my business according to the regulations!"

The eunuch next to him knew exactly what kind of virtue he was, but he also came over to handle the memorial before going downstairs and handed the receipt back to Wu Shilai respectfully.

Wu Shi put it back and forth in his sleeve, but was about to turn around and leave, the left leg joint was aching, which made him sigh helplessly.

In order to not give up his teacher in the Ministry of Justice, he was tortured and his health was also in trouble at that time. During the years when he was a soldier in the garrison in Hengzhou, Guangxi, he also suffered from rheumatism.

On heavy cloudy or rainy days, his legs are tortured, and he often cannot stretch his legs even when he sleeps at night. In order to prevent colds, he wears more clothes than ordinary people in summer.

"Mr. Wu, what's wrong with you?" The little eunuch saw Wu Shilai standing suddenly and asked in confusion.

"It's okay!" Wu Shilai stepped out his other leg decisively. Although there was a stinging pain from his leg joint, he walked out the door without hesitation.

In fact, his legs were really painful. He just thought about the lives of the people in Guangxi, and this pain could not defeat him. Not to mention that his life is so superior, he also shoulders the mission of saving the people. What is the reason to be knocked down by this small pain?

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Xu Jie woke up as usual, and under the service of several beautiful maids, he seemed to wash up with satisfaction, because he had just had a very comfortable dream.

When he thought of the scene where Lin Weiran crawled at his feet in the dream, he thought that this dream could be longer or it might become a reality.

After a delicious breakfast, he came to the front yard to prepare for morning court. Before entering the sedan chair, he couldn't help but sneeze loudly, which made his brows slightly frown.

Just thinking that he was about to initiate a dispute over the establishment of the crown prince today, thinking of a backup plan that he left behind, thinking of his clever use of Concubine Li and the eldest son of the emperor, and even thinking of the beautiful dream last night, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise gently.

"Get up the sedan chair!"

When the butler saw Xu Jie getting into the sedan chair, he immediately shouted in a lengthened tone, and then led his personal escort Xu Jie towards the direction of the Forbidden City.
Chapter completed!
