It is a rare event for a senior celebrity like Jian Beikuan to fight with someone in a life-and-death situation. The most important thing is that Daxing City has not seen such excitement for a long time. There are many gamblers with itchy hands.
I was worried that gambling would be unsatisfying when there was nothing new, so the good news about life and death situations spread early in the morning.
At Qinhuai Restaurant, Shi Youwei pursed her lips and looked out the window. The smile in her eyes made the morning light much brighter...
She was in a good mood, because she knew both people in the situation of life and death very well, and she knew who could win. But don't think that Shi Youwei went there just to gamble. Money was nothing more than something external to her, and she did not
Not interested.
She was in a good mood because she could directly go to those high-ranking officials who were fond of gambling and reveal some information without anyone noticing, making those high-ranking officials happy to win money.
Gift-giving is not just about sending beautiful women and money, because if you give it to someone, they must dare to accept it. Gifts must be sent to people's hearts, making them happy, and you don't have to worry about when you will arrive in Dali.
The temple sued him.
Shi Youwei ordered people to get pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and wrote dozens of greeting cards by hand. At the same time, each greeting card was paired with a jar of Dongxuan Guan's Hantan old wine.
The top letter of greeting was apparently sent to the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
"The height of a book is ten feet high, and a glass of wine can determine the world! Qinhuai smiles in the misty rain, and victory or defeat determines life and death."
This was written by Shi Youwei to Pei Yanting. The old man must have smiled knowingly, prepared money and waited for the beauty to come to his door.
This next letter was written to Peng Gengche. Although Peng Gengche returned to Daxing City and resigned from his military duties to stay at home, he was a veteran in the army after all, and his words were still useful in the army.
"The old general is the pillar of the country and a veteran on the battlefield! Although I have fallen into the dust of the world, I am not stained by the mud, and I have the courage to defend the country! I am sending you a message to pay my respects. I hope the old general can point out the way to serve the country!"
In the letter of greeting written to Peng Gengche, Shi Youwei did not mention anything about life and death, because she knew that it would not be able to knock on Peng Gengche's door, so she could only try another method.
Shi Youwei believed that as long as the old man opened the door for her, she could make the old man happy and help Peng Gengqie make a lot of money.
Most of the women in Qinhuai have a sharp mouth, which can talk dead people alive. You know, if you don't have the ability to talk to people and ghosts, Shi Youwei will not be able to get in the top of Qinhuai.
The situation of life and death is like a huge storm brewing in the sky above Daxing City, and there are many people in Daxing City who want to fight the storm and win a bright future.
But not everyone will cheer for joy after hearing the news. At least Hou Wenyuan, the Minister of War, will not be happy when he knows that his nephew has also signed the life and death certificate.
Hou Wenyuan was not worried that his nephew would lose, but he felt that the competition came too early. It would be good if the competition could be held in a month.
A life-and-death fight can help Li Taiping make his name in Daxing City as soon as possible, but once it starts, no one will know who Li Taiping is. So Hou Wenyuan planned to take his nephew to the palace to meet the empress, and then went to Beijing.
Zhaofu, push this fight back.
Hou Wenyuan postponed the duel for more than a month so that he could build momentum for his nephew and let everyone in the world know in a subtle way that Li Taiping was the only flesh and blood of Li Guotai, the Minister of War. Although this might lead to Li Taiping's death.
, but it is relatively dangerous, but Li Taiping can get more from it.
In front of the residence of the Minister of War, Hou Wenyuan summoned his nephew in Tsing Yi into the carriage and whispered softly: "As I said before, Emperor Hongdao has trouble with women in his life. Otherwise, an emperor should be broad-minded.
Yes. Since he knows who you are and is willing to call you into the palace, it means that he can tolerate you and he wants to give you some compensation!"
Li Taiping frowned and said: "Isn't he afraid that I will kill him with one sword? Or is he not afraid that I will turn the case over and make him lose face?"
Hou Wenyuan laughed, making Li Taiping a little confused.
"He is the emperor, the Supreme Being, and the saint of the world! Although he is not as good as the great ancestor and many wise monarchs, he is the emperor after all! You must know that in these thousands of years, no emperor is simple and can be seen by mortals.
Got it!"
Hou Wenyuan looked at his confused nephew and couldn't help but smile again: "Let me tell you, first of all, if you see him, you may not be able to kill him, even if you are above the Grand Master! Secondly, how do you know that the Holy Master does not want to let him go?
Will you turn over the case?"
Hou Wenyuan's words made Li Taiping even more confused. How could the old emperor slap him in the face?
"Why would he want me to turn the case over? Wouldn't that let the world know that he is a foolish king?"
Hou Wenyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen a foolish emperor who has the courage to admit his mistakes? How many emperors have you seen in history who issued edicts to sin against themselves?"
Li Taiping was still confused and couldn't help but ask: "But why did he do this?"
Hou Wenyuan sighed and said: "He has been busy for most of his life, but he has not improved during the Qian Dynasty. On the contrary, he has become terminally ill. People behind his back say that he is fatuous and incompetent. He wants to change the world's views. He wants to re-establish his image. He
You have to do something that no emperor dares to do!"
"Since he has this idea, we will give him this opportunity, and at the same time use his hands to help your parents wash away their grievances and help you to a higher position."
Li Taiping was silent, because his mind really couldn't turn away from the people in these temples, and he was even a little scared, because these people were simply scarier than the martial arts saints. At the same time, he also had a little luck. Fortunately, it was the old Taoist priest who took him to the world.
, if he was led by this uncle, he really didn’t know what kind of person he would become...
Ganzhe was led to Zichen Palace by the young eunuch early in the morning. He did not expect that Emperor Hongdao would summon him here. He was really surprised.
The Zichen Hall is the inner court hall, and the officials of Daxing City all had their heads sharpened and tried every means to come here to meet the emperor, because this was considered to be joining the cabinet.
Entering the cabinet is a symbol of power and status, and it also represents the recognition and expectations of the current emperor for you.
Ganzhe was a little flattered. After all, it was only his first day in Daxing City and he had not even met the emperor. This first time was in the Zichen Palace. It seemed that Emperor Hongdao had high expectations for him.
Others were overjoyed when they entered the cabinet, but Ganzhe had a sad face when he entered the cabinet. Without him, Emperor Hongdao valued him so much and held him in such high esteem, so when he offended others, he had to be black and ruthless enough.
, just fast enough.
When a monarch and his ministers meet for the first time, it is inevitable that they have to take a look, but Gan Cane suffers from the fact that only the emperor can take a look at him. For a while, he has not even looked at Emperor Hongdao.
Emperor Hongdao first asked Gan Cane if he was getting used to living there, and then asked about Mr. Tantai Mieming's current situation, before letting Gan Cane sit on the couch.
After sitting down, Ganzhuan had the opportunity to look at this old man who had been emperor for almost thirty years.
Ganzhe was a little surprised. The Hongdao Emperor in front of him looked like a fifty-year-old man. He was in good spirits and his eyes were clear without any turbidity. He did not look like an old man in his sixties. His mental outlook looked better than that of Ganzhe.
What Ganzhe didn't know was that if he had been a few months ago, he would have seen another Hongdao Emperor, an old Hongdao Emperor.
From the beginning to the end of this meeting, Emperor Hongdao either expressed his greetings, praised, or flattered him. He took turns praising Tantai Mieming and his sugar cane, but did not mention anything serious. At the end, he also asked for more sugar cane.
Pay attention to rest, and if there is anything you don't like, just come to him, the current saint.
The sugar cane was sent outside the imperial city by the young eunuch, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, the pressure brought on him by meeting Emperor Hongdao this time was unprecedented.
This pressure was not due to the majesty of the superior, but because Emperor Hongdao did not clearly understand how he wanted to make sugar cane, which made it difficult for him to do sugar cane.
Ganzhe's mind was full of thoughts about which one should be operated on first. At this moment, he seemed to hear someone calling him...
"Brother Gan! Brother Gan!"
Ganzhe suddenly raised his head and saw Li Taiping stepping out of the carriage. He couldn't help but wonder: "Where is Taiping going?"
This is a bit of a knowing question. Where else can you go after getting off the carriage in front of the imperial city gate? Of course, it is to enter the palace.
At this time, Hou Wenyuan came up to him with a smile, cupped his fists and saluted, "This must be the eldest brother Gan Cane that Taiping's nephew talks about, Mr. Gan!"
"Hou Wenyuan, I have met Mr. Gan."
The clothes, demeanor, age, and name are all there. If Gan Cane still can't guess who the person in front of him is, he doesn't have to go through the muddy waters of Daxing City and can pack up and go back to Kuaiji County.
Ganzhe hurriedly bowed, clasped his fists, and said, "I've met Mr. Hou!"
As he said that, he glanced at Li Taiping again, obviously blaming him. Your uncle is the Minister of War. Why didn't you tell him about this earlier?
Li Taiping smiled awkwardly and was about to explain a few words when he heard a high-pitched voice coming from inside the imperial city gate...
"Master Hou, hurry up and follow the servants into the palace. Don't let the Holy Master wait in a hurry!"
I saw the same little eunuch just now, running over with a look of urgency and greeting Hou Wenyuan...
Sugar Cane smiled and said: "Mr. Hou is busy first. I'll go see you later when I get back to Sugar Cane!"
Li Taiping and Hou Wenyuan said goodbye to Ganzhe and followed the young eunuch towards the palace gate. When they passed by the Jinwu Guards on duty at the palace gate, they were stopped.
A man with a terrifying scar on the right side of his face stopped Li Taiping with his hand on the handle of the knife, and said coldly: "Remove your armor and take off your sword!"
Cao Manjin had just finished his night patrol and was supposed to go back to the camp to rest, but he was arrested by his superiors as a substitute. At this time, he felt unhappy and saw someone who didn't open his eyes. So there was no awe in his tone, even if he was the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Cao Manjin was not in the mood to be polite to the people he brought.
Li Taiping was hesitating when he saw Hou Wenyuan turn around and nodded, then he took off the sword case and said, "This is my meal guy, so I have to keep it safe!"
Just as he was talking, the little eunuch leading the way slapped his forehead, turned around, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot the Holy Spirit's instructions. I'm really sorry!"
"The Holy One has decreed that Li Taiping is a meritorious official of the country, and he can wear a sword to face the Holy One!"
