Four hundred and forty-seven chapters ridiculous threat
Chapter 447 Ridiculous Threat
This banquet between kings and ministers did not end until late afternoon. Li You kept a very low profile at the banquet. He only played a service role with He Yuan, making more arrangements than drinking and having fun, and he did not write any poems that shocked everyone.
Firstly, he does not want to leave the impression of a simple poet in the emperor's heart without fame. Secondly, among the ministers here, who will make him famous? Writing good poems here is tantamount to ogling a blind man, which is useless.
So let’s save some poetry resources!
Li You kept a low profile, but it allowed Prince Xu to publish a series of masterpieces and become a blockbuster. However, Mr. Li did not feel jealous at all. He had been used to this kind of limelight with his poems for a long time, and he was so used to it that he became numb.
Little did they know that when Prince Xu was proud, he also felt a little bored. Li You, a well-known little master of poetry, kept silent here. It was only said that he was deliberately allowed to do so. What else could he be proud of in this kind of limelight?
The emperor and his subjects disembarked from Shugang, boarded the boat again, returned along the Slender West Lake, and then disembarked from the imperial pier to rest in the palace.
Emperor Jinghe remembered the words of the Crown Prince on the boat today, and said thoughtfully to the attendants who escorted him to the main hall: "I have nothing to do today, you and others can rest separately. There is an internal supervisor on duty, there is no need for you to wait.
Work hard and wait for the call.”
All the ministers thanked him movedly and dispersed. Taishou Li no longer had to guard the palace gate, so he went home early to rest.
From this we can see that the majesty of the young emperor is far from being up to par. It can be said that there is still a long way to go.
What would happen if he were a majestic emperor and ordered his ministers to rest instead of accompanying them?
The ministers must have thanked them first, but the duties that should be on duty and the calls that should be called will not really disperse like birds and beasts. As for the Holy One, they must be helpless. It is best to smile bitterly to show that this is not that he is unkind, but that the ministers are unkind.
They are too loyal.
Unlike now, when Jinghe and the emperor gave a few thoughtful words, the ministers just let the sheep go. It's not that they don't understand the rules, it's just that subconsciously, everyone has not yet established the behavioral inertia of treating the emperor as their superior.
But when Li You returned to the back office of Tongzhi Branch, he looked at the sun in the west, and even had the idea that it was really early to go home today.
Then he remembered that he was busy picking up the driver and had not asked about family affairs for a long time. So Mr. Li sat in the front hall, called the butler Li Si, and asked carefully about recent family affairs.
Li Si took the book and reported the recent details to the master one by one. After talking for a quarter of an hour, Li You caught a glimpse of Mei Zhi, the maid who accompanied the bed in the big room, poking her head outside the threshold, and shouted: "You little maid, what are you doing sneakily?"
Look! Come in and talk if you have anything to say!"
Mei Zhi originally wanted to secretly check to see if there were any foreigners. When the master scolded her, she became courageous. She raised her feet and crossed the threshold. She walked up to the master and muttered: "Sir, you are unreasonable. You should have gone to my lady's place yesterday.
But you went to the third room instead."
Li Si pricked up his ears and heard the argument about sex, and immediately slipped out quietly to avoid the disaster. As he walked, he thought to himself, this man in his family was only in his early twenties, and he had five or six wives and concubines. He was alive.
It's so big, I've never seen anything like it anywhere else.
Faced with Mei Zhi's questioning, Mr. Li said nonchalantly: "It's just an accidental situation. Doesn't it deserve your righteous indignation? If others see it, they will think that I have committed a big crime."
Mei Zhi complained angrily: "Master, you have set the rules about taking turns yourself, and you have also said that everyone in the family must abide by the rules. If you set the rules, just follow the rules. Otherwise, everyone will want to disrupt the order according to their own ideas, wouldn't that be wrong?
The disputes are endless and the family has no peace? We all obeyed the master's words, but in the end, it was you who broke the rules."
Li You sighed inwardly, what a stubborn little maid, and said domineeringly: "I don't know if the rules are all for you to abide by. As the head of the family, this is not included, and I have the highest right of interpretation! I am not convinced.
Come and rebel!"
Seeing how cute she was when she was angry, he teased her: "Do you understand why I didn't have the heart to go to your place yesterday? It's all because you didn't want to go to battle with your lady recently, so you were very unmotivated."
"Bah! Master, you are so shameless!" Mei Zhi spat duplicitously, and whispered: "At worst, I will go as I wish tonight, but I must let the young lady get pregnant as soon as possible."
When the two masters and maids were bored and bickering, the doorman reported loudly outside the house: "Master! Jin Guozhang's family has sent someone to find the master!"
Seeing the foreign guests, Mei Zhi stopped. It turned out that a steward of the Jin family came to see him, and he was recognized by Li You. When the steward saw Li You, he hurriedly said: "Master Gu! There are two uninvited guests in my house.
, the master sent me to ask you to go there quickly."
Li You was surprised that Jin Wanwan urged him so urgently? It seemed like there was a problem. He asked, "Who is the uninvited guest?"
The steward replied: "It's Mr. Xu from Nanjing and Mr. Qian from the capital."
Li You immediately guessed who these two people were. They were the only ones who could embarrass Jin Wanwan and still know each other. Mr. Xu from Nanjing, wasn't he the eldest son of Wei Guogong who had just arrived yesterday? Mr. Qian from the capital, eighty percent of the people he saw today
Uncle Qian Guo, who appeared to be very close to Prince Xu?
Li You couldn't figure it out for a moment. Why did the two of them get together to find Jin Wanwan? But since Jin Wanwan came to ask for help urgently, it was hard to just sit idly by. Thinking of this, Li You suddenly stood up and ordered
: "Prepare the sedan quickly!"
After getting on the sedan chair, Mr. Li headed towards the Jin House. When he arrived a quarter of an hour later, he was led directly inside.
After passing through several moon gates, he came to a flower hall with bright candlelight. Li You saw three people sitting inside at the door. The owner was Jin Wanwan, and the two guests were just as he had guessed. The short and thin middle man
The young man is Qian Guojiu, and the other is the crown prince of Wei Guogong whom we just met today.
Seeing Li You come in, Uncle Qian sneered, "Brother Jin, I told you that you haven't said a word for a long time. It turns out you went to ask for reinforcements."
Li You and Qian Guoshu looked at each other and found a place to sit down.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng had two brothers. The eldest brother Qian Tai was granted the title of Marquis of Xinning. The second brother Qian An was the person in front of him, but he had no title and was known as Qian Guojiu.
It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't want to give Qian an a title, but that the ministers are very opposed to it. As relatives of the country, the Qian family has already granted a hereditary marquis that is slightly above the standard. It is because of the Empress Dowager Qian's achievements in government, and the rest of the Qian family has no
How can there be any reason to have two titles based on merit of size? After several quarrels, in the end Qian Guojiu, who was jealous of the prince, did not even get a third-grade worldly position.
Qian Guojiu, who did not have a title, was a rival to Li You. When one of his sons was studying in the Imperial College, he engaged in the scheme of sending six students to the Imperial Academy to petition the Emperor for personal administration, and also instigated the underlings to poison and kill the six people.
In the end, he was discovered by Li You during his investigation and exposed to the world. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was soft-hearted and considered her family ties. She was sentenced to exile in the name of unreliable evidence. She must not have suffered much hardship on the way to exile.
In the past few days, Li You and Qian Guojiu, both serving as chauffeurs, met each other almost every day, but never talked to each other. This was the first time they met face to face in a private setting. Mr. Li calmly lowered his head to drink tea, still not satisfied.
Start by speaking.
Qian Guojiu stared at Li You a few more times, remembered his main purpose, and made sure that Li You would not speak, so he continued to say to Jin Wanwan: "Brother Jin, you must think carefully. If you treat this son-in-law as your backer, he will
He's just a local official, can he manage the affairs of the capital? Can he manage the affairs of the palace?"
Li You heard Qian Guojiu mentioning him and despising him for being far outside the capital, so he interrupted: "What matters does uncle Guo have that I need to go to the capital to resolve?"
“If it’s not happening now, it may not happen in the future.”
Bang! Li You slapped the table and shouted: "Uncle Guo, are you threatening me?"
As a well-known figure in the civil service group, Li You cannot be touched by Qian Guojiu, a weak relative. He can only hum and say: "How dare you threaten you, Mr. Li, I am talking to brother Jin, what are you doing as a junior?
Mouth?"
Li You said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, why did Uncle Qian Guo find me, my father-in-law? I came late and didn't hear you. Can you tell me again?"
"I heard that Brother Jin paid 50,000 Yinwoben to my Qian family as atonement money. My brother has it, but I don't. What's the point? You can't favor one over the other."
Qian An's brother is naturally Qian Tai, Marquis of Xinning. Li You has heard that the eldest princess Guide was a mediator between Li You and the Queen Mother, but Queen Mother Qian had great political power and was rich all over the world, and her descendants were all emperors, so she did not need Gangyanwo.
This was a family property, so all the fifty thousand dollars of gold were given to the Marquis of Xinning.
Listening to Qian An's tone, it seemed that Marquis Xinning didn't give him a penny, and he was very dissatisfied with this, so he wanted to ask Jin Wanwan for another share of his own...
Mr. Li was very angry. This man is really a villain through and through. No wonder he is not popular with others. Countless people opposed him even if he wanted to be knighted. He is indeed a greedy and shameless person. No wonder his son was able to do what he did.
This is a stupid case, and you deserve the Queen Mother to alienate you!
If you have the ability, you should go to Xinninghou's brothers to settle the score, or go to the Queen Mother to reason!
Jin Wanwan gave his son-in-law a helpless smile, and it was a mistake to give him a big gift. It was quite upsetting to meet such a shameless person with some status.
When Li You was thinking about how to speak more powerfully, Qian Guojiu began to talk to Jin Wanwan again: "Don't forget that your daughter is still in the palace. During the draft, you paid for Wu Guangen's help. It's like Guide
Chitose also said something? But don’t take it too seriously. It’s a one-time deal. If you want peace and long-term peace, you have to rely on something else. From now on, the Concubine Xian will never ask for anything from me in the palace..."
Everyone here can hear the threat. The straightforward explanation is - if you give me a favor, I won't harm your daughter. Otherwise, you really can't tell.
Without the relationship with Princess Guide, Li You would have to think carefully about this threat. He could be a thief for a thousand days, but he could not guard against thieves for a thousand days.
However, Jin Wanwan was the main subordinate of Princess Guide in planning the royal salt, and Concubine Jin Xian was considered the thorn in the palace. In this context, Qian Guojiu's threat seemed ridiculous.
