Two hundred and forty-six chapters to collect the wind
In mid-November of the seventh year of Jinghe's reign, in the north verandah of the East Pavilion in the courtyard, a young man with frowning eyebrows was holding a dry noodle cake in his hand and looking attentively at the latest newspaper copies of public cases.
He couldn't help but fell into deep thought: What will be the next move of the court bosses? How will the situation of the imperial struggle develop? How to restore the relationship with the eldest princess? How to continue to lead the struggle with the elders and officials? Each problem requires
He thinks and needs to make a decision...,
At this moment, there was a moderate knock on the door, and a high-pitched voice shouted: "Li Zhongshu! Li Zhongshu! There is a letter!" It turned out that it was the on-duty internal supervisor at the cabinet door who had sent a letter to Li Gui. Cabinet secrets
It is an important place and ordinary people are not allowed to trespass, so sometimes messages can only be conveyed through letters.
Li Gui unfolded the letter and read it. It was a handwritten letter from Mr. Zhu Fanghe, the director of the Ministry of Rites, inviting him to have a drink at noon.
So he wrote a few words in his writing, such as "I am very happy to hear your invitation", and then handed it to the eunuch and sent it to the door of the pavilion.
Afterwards, Li Gui sometimes thought hard, sometimes wrote furiously, and began to prepare new chapters.
However, he felt something was not good. With his strong writing skills, he would be running out of words and phrases related to personal attacks. This was a sign of running out of ammunition and food in the war of words.
Li Zhongshu couldn't help but sigh, no matter whether it is an enemy army or a friendly army, no matter how others are doing, do they really have to fight for a few months? It is not uncommon for national and dynasty debates to go on for many years, such as the famous Sejong Dynasty's Great Ceremony Battle, but
It lasted for more than ten years: another example was the battle between Shenzong and Li Sancai to enter the cabinet, which also lasted for more than ten years.
However, when it was almost noon, Li Gui took the time to leave the palace. He had been charged with so many crimes and had to skip work once.
When they arrived at the restaurant they had arranged outside the right gate of Chang'an, the dishes and drinks were not ready. Zhu Fanghe couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on between you and Lin's Prince Consort? Why did you draw half a line of words to break up the relationship on the gate of the Prince Consort's Mansion?"
?Is the friendship between you two really that deep?"
It was Zhu Bulang who would deliberately ask for such details regardless of his dignity, which made Li Gui find it a little difficult to answer, so he excused himself and said, "You can ask Lin's consort."
"I met him a few days ago. He only said two words but said nothing more."
Li Gui asked curiously: "Which two words?"
Zhu Bulang said simply: "Woman."
The eldest princess must be a woman, and the consort’s conclusion seemed to be correct. Li Gui had no choice but to nod. He couldn’t think of any other reason at the moment, and he was worried that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, so he just went with what the consort said.
"Is this girl from the Prince Consort's house?" Zhu Bulang guessed.
This guess should be said to be correct. The owner of the Prince Consort's Mansion is also considered the Prince Consort's Mansion. Li Gui continued to nod.
Many of the women in the Prince Consort's residence are maids whom Prince Consort Lin can only look at but not eat, Mr. Zhu Fanghe thought. He suddenly felt that he understood the truth, and slapped his big pussy, "This is Lin Prince Consort's fault! It's just a matter of time."
My maid is reluctant to give it to you. You are so stingy. He can’t accept it to fill up the house and give it to Li Xiandi. What’s the harm? Next time you see me, I must give him a lesson.”
Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhu Bulang had automatically made up some vivid plots in his mind, and he didn't need to make them up anymore. But in the future, if Zhu Bulang was a guest at home, he must ask Xiao Zhu to hide and not show his face. Mr. Zhu's values in this regard
It was so bold that he couldn't appreciate it.
I wonder what Consort Lin's mood would be like when his tutor, Mr. Zhu Fanghe, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, criticized Lin's Consort for not being generous with his friends when it comes to women. Wouldn't he be so excited as to reveal the truth under the frost in June? Li Guess.
Suddenly I became worried again.
After Zhu Bulang clarified the doubts in his mind, he thought of Li Gui's current situation and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Looking at your recent experiences, I never thought that even though you are young, you have such a determined character.
I can't help but feel confident that I can remain calm in the face of an attack from a group."
"A prize, a prize, a prize." Li Gui raised his glass and said humbly.
"Even Mr. Yuan Ge submitted three memorials to resign, and was repeatedly persuaded to stay in the cabinet. But you refused to resign and defended vigorously. You are like a hero!" Zhu Bulang praised repeatedly.
If Li Gui didn't have enough friendship with Zhu Fanghe, he would definitely interpret this as scolding him for being too shameless to fall in love...,
According to the custom of the imperial court, after being impeached, you must first go through the formalities of resigning. But last time when I was "begging for bones" in the Wenhua Palace, I encountered an unreasonable emperor who almost made the lie come true. This caused great harm to Mr. Li.
It's a psychological shadow, so I won't take the initiative to resign this time.
He is not an important minister of the country. What if the Queen Mother feels that he should sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation and conveniently allows him to resign?
Zhu Bulang clinked glasses with Li Gui and drank them all in one gulp. "But why do I feel that you are in high spirits and enjoying it?"
Really? Li Gui said jokingly: "Probably because I can get drunk and insult others unscrupulously. How can I have such an opportunity on weekdays? Especially when there are several bachelors as targets, and Master Zhu also comes to help.
how?"
"Haha, wonderful words." Zhu Bulang clapped and laughed.
Li Gui looked out the window at the horizon, his profound eyes seeming to have traveled through time and space. In his previous life, he had experienced hundreds of battles, conquered east and west, and built countless buildings in various political and military history forums. This mental quality is not a problem...
…,
It's just that in this era, the moderator has become a queen mother, and the post has become a memorial. What remains unchanged is that the butt determines the personality of the head, and it is impossible to clarify the truth.
Zhu Bulang stopped smiling and started talking about business, "How do you want it to end?"
"How do you know? You can't help yourself!"
"With a powerful person like Xu Tianguan who holds the power of government to take care of you, you won't be too miserable." Zhu Fanghe said sharply.
He frowned again and thought for a while, "I have something to tell you. You can make up your own mind. The day before yesterday, I met Qin Sile from the Jiaofang Division. You also met him. He knew that we were friends and asked me to pass on the message.
I told you that I have something important to tell you. "Who is Qin Sile? Li Gui recalled for a long time before he could barely remember that when the Queen Mother went to Jiaofangsi to have fun on the day of her holy birthday, there was a junior official from Jiaofangsi accompanying her, who seemed to be named Qin.
.
It's no wonder that Li Gui didn't remember. These so-called officials of the Jiaofang Division, such as Si Le, are just like the old bustards in the eyes of various yamen, not to mention Mr. Li, who has become more and more sophisticated recently.
So why are you interested in remembering the other person's name and position carefully?
"What's important?" Li Gui asked again.
"He said it has something to do with the current situation and can help you."
Li Gui immediately became very interested, "Doesn't he dare to lie and deceive others?"
"Do you think he dares?"
"Call him for questioning quickly!" Li Gui urged impatiently.
Can he not be impatient? When Mr. Fanghe said that Qin Sile could help him, his first reaction was that there were a lot of people in the alleys of Jiaofangsi. Maybe useful information could be unearthed. If so, then...
It feels great.
In the current North Korean conflict, the two sides have basically been air-to-air so far, with more personal attacks than discussing the matter. Even if there are some minor problems, the lethality is average. Is it because Li Zhongshu was dismissed from office because he ate and drank for free at the post station or beat the supervisor once when he came to Beijing? 7
Officials with real power cannot be so worthless.
At this sensitive time, whoever can catch something hard, coupled with the leverage amplification effect, will be a real killer.
But it’s not easy to find useful black materials.
Not to mention those big bosses who are good officials and leave no trace easily. Take Li Gui for example. He has only been in the capital for a few months? His rank is here again. If he wants to do something evil, he has no chance.
, there is no way to search for his crimes. If you go to Suzhou Prefecture to look for him, you will be beyond your reach. The yellow huācai will be cold after coming and going for several months.
Seeing Li Gui's anxious look, Zhu Fanghe said with an ambiguous expression, "Why is it so boring? Why don't you go to the Jiaofang Division to find him? Anyway, you have the Queen Mother's will to protect you, so you are not afraid of making irresponsible remarks." He held it in for more than half a month.
, it doesn’t matter if you have the opportunity to relax, dragging it on like this is not an option, not to mention that now you don’t have to look at Guide Qiantai’s face! Li Gui stood up and said goodbye: "I'll go first." Zhu Fanghe laughed again and said: "If
For you, I will definitely spend several months working on it, absorbing the styles of various schools, and then write Yuanyuanqu."
Li Gui also smiled and said: "Then I will go and collect the music carefully. Maybe Yuanyuanqu will come out soon." After coming out of the restaurant, Li Gui first went back to his apartment to change clothes, and then went to Dongcheng.
In the winter afternoon, Bensi Hutong was a little deserted. The entire street was paved with a lazy color. Most of the people coming and going were men and women from prostitutes visiting each other out of boredom.
Li Gui followed the address given by Mr. Fanghe and found the secluded courtyard, which was said to be an office space belonging to the Jiaofang Division.
Qin Sile happened to be there, and when he saw Li Zhongshu coming to the door, he was extremely happy and invited Mr. Li to sit inside the house.
Li Guang didn't look around the room. He scanned Qin Sile carefully up and down several times, as if to confirm his credibility. But no matter how he looked, he was just an ordinary middle-aged man.
After Qin Sile greeted the young man to serve tea loudly, he turned around and gave Li Shang a gift, and kept saying nonsense like "Pengpi brings brilliance".
Li Gui picked up the tea bowl, took a few sips, then put it down and said, "I heard from Zhu Bulang, are you willing to lend a helping hand to me?"
When Qin Sile was about to answer, he heard hurried footsteps and the boy with an umbrella ran into the door rashly and shouted to Qin Sile: "Mr. Qin, something bad has happened. Miss Saiyu is going to be kidnapped!"
Hearing this, Qin Sile hurriedly walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly remembered that there were distinguished guests in the room, so he had to turn around and said to Li Gu, "Master Li, look at this." Li Gu picked up the tea bowl again, lowered his head and tasted it carefully.
Tea seemed to hear nothing.
Qin Sile had no choice but to take two steps forward and said cautiously: "To be honest, this girl Saiyu is my niece. Mr. Li wanted to know something, but he still fell in love with her. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid he will be mistaken.
event."
Seeing his niece working as a prostitute in Jiaofangsi, what kind of entertainment spirit is this? Li Gu stared at Qin Sile suspiciously and said in a deep voice: "Is this true?"
Qin Sile nodded vigorously and said, "I guarantee it with my life!"
Then go and have a look. Li Gui stood up and shouted: "You are not leading the way! If you dare to deceive me, I will ask you to settle here directly!" Qin Sile could not guarantee anything more and hurriedly led the way!
