Peerless Pirates

On the evening of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Daqi Imperial City (Beautiful Man Is Very Evil txt download).

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and the inner and outer palaces of the imperial city are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, brightly lit, and full of joy.

At that time, Song Zheng and Yao Yukun each brought their own imperial troops to the palace. They had been on duty many times, and Song Zheng was already familiar with it, so they quickly made arrangements. After an inspection, Song Zheng returned to the palace.

Sitting under the lamplight in the city's Yamen, Song Zheng flipped through the newly printed Di'an newspaper. This was his habit. Every time he was on duty, he would read the latest Di'an newspaper to understand the latest political trends.

Di Bao has been around since the Western Han Dynasty. After the invention of paper, it became more popular. During the Song Dynasty, hawkers who made a living by selling Di Bao appeared in the society. However,

The Di newspapers at this time were all handwritten, and the content was quite simple. They mainly published the emperor's edicts, ministers' memorials, and the appointment and dismissal of officials.

Song Zheng read the Di newspaper very carefully. Suddenly, the above news caught Song Zheng's attention: "Song Yu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, is appointed as a doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

After Song Zheng came to Jiangning, he had been trying to find out the news about Song Yu, but he didn't get it. Firstly, he was busy in the past few days, and secondly, he kept an eye on it. It was impossible for Song Yu not to know that he was having so much fun in Jiangning City, but Song

However, Yu did not contact the Song Dynasty, and did not even ask someone to bring a letter. Song Zheng was anxious, but at the same time he guessed whether Song Yu had other intentions.

As early as when Song Yu knew the truth about Song Shi's death, he had already solved the knot in his heart and no longer hated his eldest brother, but he had never actively expressed anything to Song Jue. However, Song Jue came to Jiangning for more than a year.

, Soong Yu never came to the door. This is too unreasonable. The only explanation is that Soong Yu is hiding something, or that Soong Yu wants to create an illusion.

It is precisely for this reason that Song Zheng did not dare to go to his third uncle Song Yu rashly, and did not even ask anyone to inquire. Song Yu was never discussed in the entire Song family. Except for Xiaoping and Xiaosi, other servants even

No one knows that besides Song Huan, there is also Song Yu in Jiangning City.

Now, there was news about Song Yu in the Di newspaper, and Song Zheng was very happy. However, Song Zheng soon frowned again. Song Yu actually became the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which was really unexpected.

The official position of doctor itself is not high, it is only the sixth rank, which is higher than a county magistrate. However, it is extremely important.

There are eight merit-examination doctors in the Ministry of Personnel, and the officials inspected are officials below the third rank of the Eleventh Road of Daqi. The so-called Beijing inspection in later generations was completed by merit-examination doctors. The performance of officials is evaluated and affects the appointment of officials. Merit-examination

If the doctor visits various places, the local officials will have to offer sacrifices like their ancestors.

What makes Song Zheng puzzled is how such a fat job fell on Song Yu. Song Yu passed the Jinshi examination just a few years ago, even though he was a second-ranking Jinshi (Jinshi is divided into three rankings, the first ranking is the number one, the second ranking,

(Third Prize, then Second Rank, Third Rank), entered the Hanlin Academy, but there were seventy or eighty Jinshis in the Hanlin Academy, and there were even many old Jinshis who were bright and poor. How did Song Yu stand out and be assigned to such a place?

Fat difference?

Moreover, this personnel adjustment is also quite strange, appearing at the end of the year (read the full text of "Pick Up the Phoenix" in HP). In previous years, personnel changes were generally not made at this time, but were mostly concentrated after the beginning of spring. Now, when this happens, let's

Song Zheng was very confused.

————

The Hanlin Academy was not far from the imperial palace. Although the Hanlin officials did not work in the outer palace of the imperial city like the six cabinet members, for the convenience of summons, the Hanlin Academy was built less than a mile southeast of the imperial palace.

At midnight on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after Song Zheng finished his duty, he changed into casual clothes, refused to be escorted by his personal guards, and left the palace alone. Song Zheng also used personal guards usually, but not often, and most of the time he was alone.

Coming and going alone. Of course, Song Zheng's excuse was to let the guards take more rest. The guard captain Qin Shan and others were already used to Song Zheng's style.

Turning to a deserted corner of the street, Song Zheng looked around and saw no one in front and behind him, then twisted his body and got into the shadows. He walked along the base of the wall in the southeast direction. With his skills, he would naturally not be patrolled in the city.

The guards found out and soon came to the Hanlin Academy.

While Song Zheng was chatting with Yao Yukun, he had already quietly inquired about the situation of the Hanlin Academy. The Imperial Academy did not occupy a large area, just a four or five-acre courtyard with several rows of houses, where the Hanlins worked and worked.

On the south side of the Hanlin Academy, there are dozens of small courtyards with an area of ​​several acres, which serve as dormitories for officials.

Previously, Song Zheng had secretly sent Song Xiaosi to inquire here and find out Song Yu's address. Song Yu owned a small courtyard by himself and bought two servants, that's all.

After observing the terrain for a while, Song Zheng walked into an alley and soon came to a courtyard. This was Song Yu's residence. Song Zheng looked in through the crack in the door and saw that the courtyard was dark and seemed to have a little light.

. He put his ear to the crack of the door again and listened for any movement, but heard nothing.

Song Zheng walked around to the wall on one side, touched the stone cracks on the wall, and pulled out the Fish Gut Sword. After taking two steps back, he jumped forward, inserted the Fish Gut Sword into the stone crack, and used his strength to turn over.

Climbing the wall (the latest chapter of Three Years Waiting on the Naihe Bridge).

Looking into the courtyard from the wall, everything was quiet except for a room on the east side of the north room, where the light was still shining through the paper window. Song Zheng slipped down the courtyard wall and quietly touched under the window. He listened carefully first.

There was only the sound of turning books in the room. I opened a small opening and saw a thin man in Tsing Yi sitting in the room, facing the window. I haven't seen him for a few years. Except for a black beard on his chin, Song Yu looked quite handsome.

Not much has changed.

Song Zheng clenched his fist, but did not rush into the room. Instead, he quietly went to the west wing and put his ear to the door. There was a slight snore coming from inside. Judging from the breathing, it was two people.

Song Zheng opened the door and walked in. These two people were naturally Song Yu's two young men, both young, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Song Zheng made a careful distinction, waved his right palm, and cut two

On the neck of each one, he knocked two of them unconscious.

After letting out a gentle breath, Song Zheng exited the wing and returned to the window of the north room. With two clicks, Song Zheng knocked on the window.

"Who?" Song Yu in the room suddenly stood up.

Song Zheng lowered his voice, "Third uncle, it's me."

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked ecstatic, hurried to the door and opened it.

"Zheng'er!" Song Yu opened his arms and held Song Zheng in his arms. Immediately, he seemed to realize something, and quickly let go, looked at the side room, and whispered, "Quickly come in!"

Entering the back room, Song Yu saw Song Zheng's face clearly. The skinny boy a few years ago had turned into a young man, and his stature was as tall as him. With a face like a crown of jade and wide brows, he looked like a pretty boy.

Song Yu's eyes filled with tears. He stretched out his arms and hugged Song Zheng. He called out "Zheng'er" and was speechless. Song Zheng was also filled with emotion and the corners of his eyes were wet. When he was acting for his father Ding You in Songjiazhuang

, Song Zheng and Song Yu got along day and night, and they had already formed a deep relationship. Song Yu had no children, so he treated Song Zheng, the only child of the Song family, as a son.

After a long time, the two separated (please go away and read the full text).

"Zheng'er, why are you here?" The voice was still very low.

"The third uncle didn't want to see me, so I had no choice but to come find him." Song Zheng smiled, "I've knocked out the two in the east wing and can't hear us talking."

Song Yu was startled, then immediately relaxed and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for several years, and you are becoming more and more sophisticated. You are not like a young man of your age."

That night, Song Zheng and Song Yu had a long talk.

It turned out that after Song Yu passed the Jinshi examination, he entered the Hanlin Academy and served as an editor. Knowing the target of his revenge, he wanted to move closer to Pang Hui. However, with Pang Hui's status, how could he, a small Hanlin Academy member, be able to do so?

Close. After a period of silence, Song Yu gradually figured out the political situation.

Compared with Song Jue, Song Yu was much more flexible. He thought hard and came up with his own idea. Since he couldn't approach Pang Hui directly, he started with the people around Pang Hui. The person he chose was Dong Lancheng, the Minister of War.

Dong Lancheng is one of Pang Hui's direct officials, and he is also a high-ranking person. Dong Lancheng has a nephew named Chu Guan, who also served as an editor of the Hanlin Academy. However, he later transferred to Jiangning Prefecture. Soong Yu made an excuse

He consulted his seniors for advice and made friends with Chu Guan. Under Song Yu's deliberate catering, the relationship between the two became increasingly harmonious and they gradually became close friends.

Last year, on Dong Lancheng's birthday, Chu Guan wrote a congratulatory message for his uncle and asked Soong Yu to revise it. Soong Yu thought hard and almost rewrote the congratulatory message, making it a mess. Chu Guan was overjoyed, and he knew that Dong Lancheng pretended to be elegant and was willing to communicate with scholars.

Lin was dating, so he made an appointment with Song Yu to visit him.

Song Yu was very knowledgeable, and in order to cater to the officials, he specially put effort into his social articles. Dong Lancheng was very fond of Soong Yu, so he asked Soong Yu to "rectify" some social things several times. In this way, Soong Yu and Dong Lancheng became close.

During the conversation with him, Song Yu deliberately and occasionally revealed some dissatisfaction with Huang Yuandu's policies. This made Dong Lancheng even more concerned.

Song Jue was recruited by Huang Yuandu to Jiangning and served as the deputy general professor of the Academy of Arts. Song Yu also knew about it (Hi, the latest chapter of Army Wife). But the revenge was so secret that Song Yu didn't want to cause any trouble. So he deliberately distanced himself. Even Song Huan

Over there, he didn't move around, pretending to be breaking up with the Song family.

Song Yu was naturally aware of Song Zheng's rise in fame. However, he did not want to contact Song Zheng without permission, so he could only wait patiently for Song Zheng to come to his door. He believed that with Song Zheng's wisdom, he would contact him secretly.

"It's embarrassing to say that I have worked so hard for my uncle, but I still have a relationship with that Pang Hui." Song Yu had an angry look on his face, "If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to avenge my father!"

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Third uncle, don't worry, you have exceeded my expectations now. How powerful is Huang Yuandu? Revenge for grandpa cannot be accomplished overnight. I saw from the newspaper that my uncle was appointed as

It is a big step for the Ministry of Officials to pass the examination for meritorious service as a doctor."

"It's strange to say that I didn't hear any news before, so I got into the Ministry of Civil Affairs in such a daze. I vaguely guessed that it was Dong Lancheng's power. However, how could he, a minister of the Ministry of War, get me into the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

?”

"Didn't Third Uncle take the opportunity of the New Year visit to express this matter to Dong Lancheng?"

"Dong Lancheng just asked me to work hard and didn't say anything else."

Song Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Third uncle, it is true that Dong Lancheng did not decide this matter, but there must be some hidden secret behind it. If Dong Lancheng really regards you as one of his own, he will definitely give instructions in the future. Let's just wait and see what happens.

Already."

"Having said that, I won't be able to feel at ease until that thief Huang Song is eliminated."

"Huang Song is bound to die!" Song Zheng's face darkened, "I have a way to deal with him. It's just that I don't have enough time now!"~
