Chapter 2306 excuses to be seen through

Jinling in summer makes people crazy, and it’s so hot!

The scorching sun burns the earth. At this time, most people look outside and look at the ground and almost narrow their eyes into thin slits.

Under such temperatures, even the people are not willing to go out, so it is serious to enjoy the cool air at home.

But just this afternoon, a group of people emerged from the Jinling Mansion.

No, it's a group of people.

As soon as he came out, Li Xiu, who was dressed neatly, felt that his body was getting hot.

He looked up at the sky without a trace of clouds, sighed inwardly, and was then helped by someone to get on the horse, shouting: "Hurry up, go to the dock!"

There were only Li Xiu and a few officials riding horses in a group of people, while the others were walking and trotting along the way.

Yu Qian also had a horse. He followed Li Xiu and remembered the news that Fang Xing was about to arrive in Jinling just now. Li Xiu looked sad and couldn't help but feel excited.

Before he ran far, a group of people came to the left. When he saw it, he saw that it was the Minister of War, Uncle Peng Yuan.

We kept going with other people along the way. When we saw the dock, there was already a black mass behind us, like a large army going on a war, with extraordinary momentum.

The cargo ship on the dock has been arranged to take refuge upstream, and there is a large shed next to it. Li Xiu invited several ministers to come and enjoy the cool air.

"Today I am evil, I don't have any wind!"

After entering the shed, some complained and some echoed.

Without wind, the shed is actually not cool nor hot and stuffy.

Li Xiu was already sweating profusely. He glanced at the people in the shed and asked in surprise: "Did Mr. Liu and Yang Wuhou come?"

In an instant, the shed became dull and everyone was worried about their future.

Liu Guan has been in Jinling for a while, and his censors ran around to search for the situation of officials from all over the country, leaving everyone in the southern officialdom.

Xue Lu came to replace Li Long.

Since he had arguing with Fang Xing once last time, Li Long submitted a memorial to apologize. In this case, Zhu Zhanji would at most give up on his reprimand, but in the end he sent Xue Lu.

Who is Xue Lu?

This veteran is almost one of the most trusted generals of the royal family, so he has been left in the capital in recent years.

He is old, and according to everyone's words, he should have asked him to return home with illness and live his life, but he was still sent to Jinling.

With him here, Song Hu and others were obedient, and no one dared to challenge this old marquis.

But they didn't come to welcome Fang Xing, this was interesting.

If Xue Lu doesn’t come to pick him up, he can still be said to be a veteran, but what does Liu Guan mean?

And this is a soldier who returned from triumphantly!

Just as the people in the shed were thinking differently, two riders came in front of them.

The war horses and people were sweating profusely. Near the front and back, a knight shouted, "Sir, Xinghe Bo is right ahead."

It's a fleet, a fool!

Li Xiu gave up his plan to scold the knights because he saw that one of the knights was already shaking on the horse's back and his face was pale.

Thump! The knight was finally caught off guard. Someone ran over and looked over and said, "I'm suffering from heat."

But there was no doctor at the scene. Fortunately, there was a summer heat relief medicine at the dock, so someone fed the knight.

"Here you come!"

There were already sails in front of him, and a group of officials walked out of the shed to meet him in the sun.

Warships temporarily acted as troop transport ships, and the decks were filled with sergeants holding muskets.

"Jubaoshanwei is here too..."

Someone in the welcome crowd said this in a surprised tone.

The fleet began to dock, Fang Xing was the first to land, but Hong Bao and Fu Xian disappeared.

After some greetings, Fang Xing said, "This time Fang came to Jinling, mainly because the navy's ships were mostly damaged during the war, and they were unable to catch all the way north, so they were repaired in Jinling. Please understand, sir."

As a landlord, Li Xiu immediately agreed. When he thought, Jubaoshan Guard had only a few thousand people, just some food and grass.

Qu Sheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also said that there is no problem.

"This year, Peking said that it could reduce the amount of grain to transport north, but I am worried that the grain would be low and the farmers would be hurt. Xinghe Bo just took it. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue in Peking will naturally settle with me."

Qu Sheng's words attracted a burst of laughter, and the Minister of War Peng Yuanshu laughed and said, "Mr. Qu is favoring one and the other! Last month, he said he was adding some expenses to the several wards to relieve the heat. You just talked about him... How generous today is!"

Turning back, he bowed to his side and said, "Boy Xing, I have to have a fight between me and Lord Qu every few months, but it's not about you."

Xin Laoqi brought the war horse, Fang Xing grabbed the reins and said, "This is indeed what you should give. The harder you practice, the more you should give it. However, the practice should be decided in the future. How to practice in what season and how to supervise whether the exercise is false. After you figure out these things out one by one, it is time for the army to increase some money and food."

After saying that, he got on the horse, and then everyone followed him, but he was a little confused.

Military expenditures in all dynasties were a big deal. Emperor Taizu of this dynasty referred to the previous military system and then developed a somewhat strange military household farming system. Then the military expenditures did not need to be allocated by the Ministry of Revenue, and he was happy to overturn the emperor.

But since then, the military household farming system gradually became abolished, and the Ministry of Revenue began to take over this mess again, making up for whatever is missing.

According to Fang Xing's opinion, the future military training must be strictly investigated and the military expenditure must be relaxed. This...

It would be a great idea to cancel the military household registration. I actually want to improve the treatment of Qiu Ba?

The group returned to the city with different thoughts. The weather was too hot, so Fang Xing followed the hearts of the people and refused to accept the favor, saying that he was tired of fighting and needed a good rest.

Then everyone went back to their own houses and looked for their own mothers, and Jinling City gradually became silent.

...

Fang Xing’s guy is here again!

If we talk about who the gentry in the south hates the most, it was probably Emperor Taizu Gao, but now it is Fang Xing!

For the south, Fang Xing is the broom star and is synonymous with killing.

There was news that Fang Xing and his party were repairing in Jinling, waiting for the ship to be repaired, and then heading north.

But some people think this is wrong.

"Teacher, there are still boats in Jinling. It's not a big deal for those boats to transport 10,000 people, but Fang Xing insisted on resting in Jinling. Will there be any problems here?"

"I don't know."

Wang Yuan was concentrating on making tea without raising his head.

There are three ice basins in the room, but a small stove is burning on the table. Huang Jian is sweating all over the body under the interweaving heat and heat.

He can no longer be quiet, or even calm.

He was gasping, his eyes gradually becoming red.

"Quiet."

Wang Yuan finally looked up, but he was holding a teacup with an intoxicated look on his face and smelling the fragrance of tea.

The room became quiet, and Wang Yuan took a sip of tea slowly, but heard a puff sound.

He frowned and looked at Huang Jian with a cruel face, and said, "I'm angry... I'm so kind and sweeping the floor!"

Huang Jian suddenly laughed, his laughter was refreshing.

Wang Yuan put down his teacup and looked at him with a cold look.

"Teacher, I know why you are jealous of Fang Xing."

Wang Yuan said oh, but didn't answer.

Huang Jian sneered: "You bet everywhere back then, especially Wen Fang and Zhang Mao. They were idle all day long and got the title of a famous southern scholar. Teacher, you have done a lot of effort."

Wang Yuan looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Rat is a hundred times better than you!"

Huang Jian got up and walked to the edge of the ice basin, squatted down, covered his hands on the ice, and said comfortably: "I don't know why Zhang Mao and Wen Fang entered the East Palace at that time, but I know that they are all against His Majesty."

"At that time, the relationship between His Majesty and Emperor Ren and his son was a little bad. Teacher, you all want to subvert him, right?"

Huang Jian looked at Wang Yuan proudly: "It would be great to change the prince! The new prince who came up behind will definitely be grateful to you. At least the rewards must be given. I can't say that the positions of a few high-ranking officials will be left..."

Wang Yuan looked at him coldly and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Huang Jian stood up and said, "Teacher, I want to say, you all want to get rid of the grandson and the later prince, and let Fang Xing go down and get him down to do so many benefits!"

"You are not good at the imperial examination, and your two sons are also stupid, but there is a grandson who can study. Teacher, you just want to accumulate all these on that grandson, all the fame and all the favors... to make him soar into the sky... right?"

A sharp light flashed in Wang Yuan's eyes, and then he said lightly: "It would be a pity if you don't go to the yamen to be a constable."

Huang Jian said proudly: "Do you know how I discovered these?"

He pointed to the back and said, "I spent money to hire a chicken crowing thief to your study and found a few letters... Then I copied them one by one and asked him to send them back overnight... Teacher, do you think you burned the letters at that time? But I copied them before you took action..."

The room is silent, gradually dead...
Chapter completed!
