Looking at Dang Han with a distressed face, Luo Sigong shook his head with a smile, picked up the flagon and poured a glass for himself first, and then poured another glass for Dang Han.After thinking about it quietly, he said in a deep voice, "You have been with me for so many years, you should know what I am like. If you are not completely sure, I will not be so leisurely."

"Your Excellency is right, it's a disrespectful job, I hope you don't blame me!" Dang Han held his wine glass in both hands, looking at Luo Sigong, Dang Han said in a respectful tone.

Shaking his head lightly, Luo Sigong patted Dang Han on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Although you and I are officials and subordinates in name, in fact, you and I know in our hearts that I have never regarded you as my subordinate. Here, let's drink together and chat as friends!"

Listening to Luo Sigong's sincere words, Dang Han's face suddenly revealed a look of emotion, nodded, and said: "My lord was just a thousand households back then, and I was still an undisciplined person walking in the rivers and lakes. I did a few big things in my lord's territory. The case has never been missed, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of adults in the end."

"Yeah! At the beginning, I almost lost my official position because of you, and it took a lot of effort to catch you. Later, when I learned that the few cases you did were all for the sake of flooding the Yangtze River, I was also deeply moved. There are scattered people in the rivers and lakes. Having loved so much, it really makes the people who live in the temple ashamed." Luo Sigong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his face turned slightly red, and he shook his head and said with emotion.

Picking up the wine glass and pouring a glass of wine for Luo Sigong, Dang Han said gratefully: "My lord knew that I was a criminal at the beginning, and if I was arrested and brought to justice, I would definitely be promoted and rich, but my lord didn't. Not only did I not be arrested, but also Give me all the finances I got, this kind of mind and courage, I still admire it the most."

"You still say? Because of this incident, I went from thousands of households to hundreds of households. My family scolded me. But you spent all the money on refugees, and I got what I wanted! As for The official position, and then he was promoted again!" Luo Sigong had a smile on his face, it was a youthful smile, a heroic smile.

Poured a glass of wine for Luo Sigong with a smile, Dang Han recalled: "Since then, I have been following the adults, through many ups and downs, watching the adults step by step to where I am today. Thinking about it, everything seems to be Yesterday, life was only a few dozen years long, and it is really time-worn!"

Pointing at Dang Han, Luo Sigong laughed and said, "Have you been with the old ghost for a long time? Why do you always imitate him?"

"My lord was joking, the old ghost is now returning to the countryside, growing vegetables, and raising chickens. What a wonderful day! It's just his two daughters, the lord should find someone to marry as soon as possible! Follow us all day long Run, don't look good!" Dang Han said with a look of worry on his face.

"After this matter is over, I'll find someone else for them, and I won't treat them badly!" Luo Sigong nodded with a smile, patted Dang Han on the shoulder and said.

The two of them suddenly fell into silence, and the air was a little dignified.After a long time, Luo Sigong said with a serious face: "The emperor is kind to me. This time, I have to finish whatever I say, even if I leave my life here. If I can't succeed, I, Luo Sigong, have no face to go back to see the emperor. You Do you understand me?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand! The horse leather shroud, that is the general's destination. For a general, it is a disgrace to die on the bed. Your lord has gone through ups and downs in his life, and this time he will be able to succeed immediately and bring him to the world's invincible hand. My lord can die on the bed with peace of mind now!" Dang Han looked at Luo Sigong with a smile.Made a joke that I haven't said in a long time.

"Having said that, you must be careful about this matter. Now that there are so many people in the city suddenly, I am sure. Send someone to watch these people. They should gather together tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. , They can't wait too long. At that time, we will be able to find the traitors of the White Lotus Sect, and we can also find the whereabouts of the Jurchens. This time I will wipe them all out, otherwise I will not be able to avenge my shame and the hatred in my heart! "Luo Sigong said with a resolute light in his eyes and a somewhat cold expression.

Dang Han on the side suddenly understood, nodded solemnly, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely help you to fulfill your wish."

Looking up at the sky, Luo Sigong smiled and said: "It's getting late, go to rest! We'll be busy tomorrow, we can't miss it!" He stood up, staggered and walked towards his room.

Looking at Luo Sigong's back, Dang Han saluted respectfully, and said in a voice he could hear: "I respectfully send you off, my lord!"

The rooster had just crowed, the day had just broken, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty started to go to work.Today is the morning morning, everyone got up very early, no one dared to be late in the early morning.

Sitting upright in the main hall, Emperor Tianqi glanced over everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "All my dear ones, please be free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After everyone thanked the gift, they all bowed and stood aside.

Wang Chengen, who was standing on the Tianqi Emperor, shook the whisk in his hand, and said loudly: "If you have something to do, beat him up early, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat!"

"Report to the emperor, I have a copy of this!" As soon as Wang Chengen finished speaking, a person stood up from the hall and said in a respectful tone.

Looking down, Emperor Tianqi found that it was Zhou Cang, the censor who patrolled the city, who stood up. He nodded and said, "It turned out to be Zhou Aiqing. The ground in the capital is still peaceful. What's the matter?"

"Returning to the emperor, the emperor's favor is everywhere, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is nothing major on the ground in the capital. But recently, when I was patrolling the city yesterday, I occasionally heard some street rumors, but it was not appropriate." Zhou Cang looked embarrassed. , Several times he hesitated to speak.

Looking at Zhou Cang's appearance, Emperor Tianqi's face did not show the slightest fluctuation. This set of methods is not new at all, and it is clear that retreat is the only way to advance.Zhou Cang definitely wanted to say it, and it would be inappropriate if Emperor Tianqi didn't let him say it, but he just hoped that the emperor would let him say it.

In this way, not only will people not be offended, but the responsibility will be shifted to the emperor.Looking up and down at Zhou Cang, Emperor Tianqi smiled, but a sternness flashed in his eyes.Such a person is hateful, and acting like this is also disgusting.

After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi said in a gentle tone: "Da Ming has never obstructed the way of speech. Since I took the throne, I have been close to the people and diligent in governing. I have sighed day and night, and dare not take it lightly. Naturally, I want to understand the sufferings of the people. Ai Qing has Feel free to talk about any suffering, I will definitely investigate to the end!"

Now it was the turn of the ministers to look at each other in blank dismay. Emperor Tianqi did not follow the routine this time, and had already limited Zhou Cang Shangzuo to the sufferings of the people.If Zhou Cang's performance was not about the sufferings of the people, it would be a dereliction of duty. Some people can't help but sigh that Emperor Tianqi's hand is beautiful.

Zhou Cang below was in cold sweat. Although Emperor Tianqi spoke softly, Zhou Cang knew very well in his heart that Emperor Tianqi was dissatisfied with him.But he had no choice but to act now.

"Report to the emperor, the emperor is close to the people and diligent in government, the officials are honest and honest, and the people live in prosperity, so there is no suffering. I want to report the sufferings of the people, but it is difficult to find them. What I want to report today is the rumors about the officials!" Zhou Cang Taking a step forward, his face suddenly became serious, and he said fearlessly.

Emperor Tianqi nodded, this is about to tear his face, and it was a patrolling censor who came up to tear his face. It seems that this time it is not only aimed at Sun Chengzong.These people wanted to use Sun Chengzong to snatch back the rights they had obtained, and said without changing their expressions: "If that's the case, then Ai Qing will say it!"

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's cold tone, Zhou Cang could only smile wryly in his heart, no matter what happened, he might become cannon fodder.But the arrow is on the string, so I have to send it!

After saluting to Emperor Tianqi, Zhou Cang said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have heard rumors that Mr. Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, ruled out dissidents in Liaodong, planted cronies, embezzled the imperial court's huge military pay, and was separatist in the north." Disobedience."

Sure enough, it was this matter. Emperor Tianqi knew that it was not that simple, and said with a little doubt: "There is still such a thing? But there are some rumors in the market, I am afraid it is not true? Sun Chengzong is my teacher and the chief assistant of the cabinet. University scholar, character and talent are all praised by the world, this should be groundless rumors and troubles! Where is Shuntian Mansion?"

Hearing the Emperor Tianqi calling him, Yin of Shuntian Mansion felt as if he was in mourning. This was a disaster for him.Not daring to delay at all, he walked out of the ranks, bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said in a respectful tone: "Chen Shuntian Fu Yin Li Zhicheng is here!"

"The Shuntian Mansion is responsible for this matter. We must find out the person who spread the rumors. This person must be a person with ulterior motives. You must do things with your heart!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the Shuntian Mansion Yin and said with a serious face.

The ministers below looked at each other in blank dismay. Emperor Tianqi made it clear that he didn't want to talk about this matter, and this matter came to an end.

"Your Majesty, I have a report!" At this moment, someone spoke again.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi's face became a little ugly. He lowered his head and saw that it was a censor.Taking a closer look, Emperor Tianqi knew this person, and he was engaged in the supervision of Shaanxi Censor Wang Daozhou.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "So it's Wang Aiqing. I don't know what's wrong with Wang Aiqing?"

"My Majesty, I have also heard about the rumors Mr. Zhou just said. Those who spread rumors are naturally ulterior motives, but they are groundless, and they may not be silent. Mr. Sun is upright, but he is in an important position, and the status in Liaodong is very high. It's important, you can't be careless about this." Wang Daozhou's face was very serious, and the words he said were loud and clear, and he couldn't tell that he had any intention of participating in Sun Chengzong's performance.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he was digging a hole!As long as you jump in by yourself, don't even think about coming out, you will definitely be disgraced! (To be continued..)
