Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu looked at Wu Shiqi in surprise: "Mr., you have experience. It is your right to write the mansion newspaper. Just take down the article. You don't need to go to Mr. Hua to explain it in person."

"No!" Wu Shiqi yelled angrily: "This residence report has been reviewed twice before and after, and I don't believe that Huacha has never read it. I want to ask him personally. He sent this report to provoke the Queen Mother and the emperor's mother and son." What is the intention of family affection, and is it in line with the way of a sage?"

"This, this..." Su Mu was dumbfounded, what a big deal, is it worth debating with his boss?

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind. There is no reason to escape the world's affairs. I am not afraid of arguing with Mr. Hua. The more you argue, the clearer the truth. There is no room for ambiguity when it comes to big questions of right and wrong!"

As he spoke, Master Wu rushed out with impassioned expression.

After a while, Huacha and Wu Shiqi's fierce quarrel came from the Tongzheng Office.

Mr. Hua was born as a Jinshi in the second list, a noble of the fourth grade, well-learned and Confucian, he has already memorized the words of the saints, and he is eloquent.It's a pity that the strong have their own strong hands. When he meets Mr. Wu who can scold his mother all night without repeating the same thing.

The quarrel between the two was like sparks hitting the earth, and the sound shook the entire Tongzheng Department, attracting everyone's attention.

Hearing this commotion, Su Mu yelled badly, hurriedly walked to the gate of the Department of Experience, and listened in that direction.

Poor Mr. Hua is Wu Shiqi's opponent, he was defeated in just a moment.

A shy and angry voice came: "Wu Shiqi, you are yelling rudely in front of your boss, madly, really madly. I want to impeach you!"

Old Mr. Wu sneered: "Lord Hua, if you don't impeach me, I will be punished. As Zuo Tongzheng, what crime should you have to alienate the family?"

Mr. Hua was angry and annoyed: "If you want to go up, no one will stop you. This official has a magnanimous heart, but he is not afraid of you, a shameless villain. This article must be published, and this official decides."

"Who do you call a villain?"

"Master Wu steals the position of the seventh-rank court official with the body of a man. He has no shame. Isn't he a villain?"

"You, angry old man!" Obviously, no matter how upright Mr. Wu is, he has nothing to do with his boss.

……

At the same time, the other governors also came out, and when they heard Master Wu and Master Hua scolding each other, everyone was shocked and turned to look at Su Mu with a hint of sarcasm in their faces.

After a while, Wu Shiqi ran out angrily, his face was livid, and he looked a little embarrassed.

All the governors burst into laughter, and then dispersed.

Su Mu couldn't help asking: "Master Wu, what's going on?"

Wu Shiqi said angrily: "This Huacha, he is also a scholar of the second list, and he is famous to teach everyone. How come he doesn't even understand this truth. How can he be convinced by blindly oppressing others. I am the judge and impeached this corpse. mediocre officials."

Su Mu: "Old man, what happened to the residence report?"

Wu Shiqi shook his head, and after a while he sneered and said, "Since Huacha is going to post that article, let's post it, so that the world can see who is right and wrong. As the saying goes, right and wrong have their own justice."

Su Mu was speechless, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this article was published in the mansion newspaper.

Another day passed, and this morning, Su Mu came to the Meridian Gate again, and after waiting for all the officials to enter the gate one by one, he walked towards the city gate.

Just after walking a few steps, a little eunuch hurried down from the tower and stopped Su Mu: "Governor Su, wait a moment, Godfather invites you to have a word."

Su Mu took a look, but recognized this person, it was Zhang Yong's subordinate.It's probably not a good thing for him to find himself so early in the morning.

Quickly asked: "Where is Eunuch Zhang?"

The little eunuch pointed to the city gate building, Su Mu nodded: "I'll go see him right away."

When I went up to the tower and entered the house, there was no fire inside, and gusts of wind with snow particles blew in from the window, making people feel as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

There is no furnishings in the house, it looks very empty.

Zhang Yong stood there alone with his hands behind his back, wearing a white fox fur cloak with a hat, which was blown flying by the wind.

Su Mu cupped his hands: "Eunuch Zhang, what happened in such a hurry?"

Zhang Yong turned around, with a tiger face: "The Empress Dowager Cisheng speaks by mouth."

Su Mu cried out in his heart: something happened!

His expression froze: "Chen Su Mu, listen to the teachings of the Empress Dowager Cisheng."

"Su Mu, let me ask you, the Ai family: The Haodi newspaper edited by the Secretary of the General Administration actually published the paper written by the imperial envoy, asking the Ai family to return the government to the emperor. The Ai family has already read that paper. The paper is full of absurdity. The Son of Heaven is young and can’t see things. He can only be in charge after the New Year’s wedding. Ai’s family read the scriptures and refused to publish them. Reported to the mansion, Aijia asked, Su Mu, what do you do with your errand?"

Su Mu hurriedly said: "Returning to the Empress Dowager Cisheng, the officials in the mansion have also read the report, and asked the experience of Si Wu to withdraw and replace the article, but Zuo Tongzheng and Huacha refused. The minister is just a low-level official. The court has its own rules. The boss makes a decision, and the subordinates can only follow it. For the crime of the minister, please punish the Empress Dowager Cisheng..."

As he spoke, he explained the matter in detail from beginning to end.

After listening, Zhang Yong said: "Understood."

He just smiled and shook his head: "It's over, Ziqiao, my Mr. Su. I miss you, the former Donggong think tank, why did you do this so badly?"

Su Mu also smiled wryly: "It was also my negligence. I didn't expect that Master Wu Shiqi would superfluously argue with Master Hua. In fact, this matter is also simple. It is not up to him to decide what articles to use and which articles to use. I have also calculated thousands of times, but I missed that Mr. Wu is a pedantic man who pays attention to rules and procedures."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind laced with snow poured into his throat, making him cough violently.

Breathing evenly, Su Mu said again: "One more thing, the incident happened in a hurry. Mr. Wu and I haven't straightened out the relationship between colleagues in the Experience Department, and we can't get involved in many things."

Zhang Yong nodded: "This matter came sooner, otherwise with your ability, you wouldn't have made it like this. Ziqiao, the queen mother is also angry for a while, it will be fine in a few days, you don't have to worry about it. However, if you are squeezed out by your colleagues and cannot grasp the mansion report as soon as possible, if such a thing happens again, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will be furious, I wonder what your future plans are, Zi Qiao?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, the General Secretary has no power, mostly complicated official affairs, and the people who do things are heartless. It is easy to master the residence newspaper. At present, the governors are ostracizing me and Mr. Wu a lot. Find a way to divert their attention."

Zhang Yong: "To divert attention, does Zi Qiao have any ideas?"

Su Mu: "I'm thinking about it, I have some clues."
