Four hundred and seventy-two chapters civil and military
~.-~ Mr. Li left the Metropolitan Procuratorate and went home directly, but saw someone waiting at the concierge. When he asked, it turned out that it was Zhu Fanghe who sent the invitation, inviting him to a banquet tonight.
Such a hasty invitation is not solemn, but Li You and Zhu Fanghe have a close relationship, so there is no need to pay attention to these customs, and the etiquette is more casual. After taking a nap at home, Li You went out when it was almost dusk. The location
Jinxiu Building near Qipan Street.
During the Old Yuan Dynasty, the most densely populated area with shops in the capital was the area around the Bell and Drum Towers in the north of the city. At that time, the canal could enter the city directly from the north. In the Guo Dynasty, after several reconstructions, the commercial routes were transferred to the various gates in the south city represented by Chongwen Gate, and the commercial district also followed.
moved south.
Among them, the Qipan Street area located outside Daming Gate, inside Zhengyang Gate, and only two or three miles away from Chongwen Gate, has become the most prosperous commercial district in the inner city, with thousands of shops. Zhu Fanghe noted on his post
Location Jinxiu Building is located nearby.
The Jinxiu Tower lived up to its name, but this kind of wealthy scene of "the music returned to the courtyard and the lights came down from the balcony" did not arouse much emotion in Li You's eyes.
The shopkeeper who was guarding the door to attract customers took Li You into a pavilion on the second floor of the east building. There were already four or five people sitting inside, all of whom were officials, some they knew and some they didn't.
Zhu Fanghe raised his eyes and saw Li You, stood up to greet him and said, "It's rude of me to invite you in a hurry. Don't blame me."
Li You said a few humble words, and Zhu Fanghe introduced him to Li You. They were all officials such as the doctor of the ritual system department of the Ministry of Rites, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and the minister of Hongzhuang Temple, plus Zhu Fanghe, the ritual system director of the Ministry of Rites.
Wai Lang, all officials of the ceremonial system.
After a long exchange of greetings, Li You took his seat. Zhu Fanghe explained the situation and said: "The emperor is about to return to Beijing. Today we will discuss the etiquette of the pro-government meeting, and we will take the opportunity to have a banquet in the evening. I also thought of you being honored as one of the Four Pure Ones.
I then borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and congratulate my worthy brother."
It turns out that the emperor's personal administration must have a symbolic beginning. This great court meeting destined to be held in the Huangji Palace instead of under the Huangji Gate is the starting point. But what are the Four Purities? Li You was very puzzled. He had seen Fengshen
Regarding the novel, he said he had only heard of Sanqing.
Mr. Chen, a doctor in the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, laughed and said: "Master Li is not in the capital. This is a new word that appeared this year. The four clear streams of Ci Lin, Li Bu, Ke and Dao are called the Four Pure Streams, and they are called the best choice of Tsinghua University."
Li You could only be humble and turned his eyes, only to find that Master Qingtian of Hongzhuang Temple, who was in the fourth rank, was staring straight at him. His heart suddenly thumped, and he thought anxiously of the good men of some scholar-bureaucrats these days. Could it be that he encountered such a situation?
of?
Tian Honglu suddenly slapped the case and shouted to Li You: "What a good man!"
Li You's fingers trembled and he couldn't help but drop his chopsticks in astonishment, trying to think of how to politely refuse.
~~--Net.Updated first~~Zhu Fanghe asked curiously: "Why did the wise brother lose the chopsticks?"
"I don't deserve Mr. Tian's thunderous praise." Li You said bitterly.
I also heard Tian Hongzhuang talking to Chen Bulang: "At that time, envoys from North Korea, Annan and other vassal states came to congratulate me. I saw that Mr. Li was as tall as a mountain, with a majestic appearance, good momentum, and a loud voice. He was just right.
To serve as ministers of the imperial edicts to the various vassals, and to demonstrate the majesty of the heavenly dynasty."
Li You breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was going to ask him to read out the imperial edict to the envoys of the vassal state at the court meeting. This was easy to say, and the interview was a prestigious job that showed off his face.
After drinking and chatting, someone else talked about what happened in the capital. "The day before yesterday, there was a wealthy man from the south who made a lot of money in the capital and was about to return home. When he was transporting his family's wealth in a carriage to Tongzhou, he accidentally overturned the car on the road.
A box full of silver was spilled out and someone saw it. It caused trouble and attracted robbers to loot everything."
After hearing the news, others just sighed with emotion, but Li You's heart moved, as if some inspiration came to his heart.
At such gatherings, Li You would always try his best to talk. He has talked about everything from ancient times to the present, because he knew that once he asked others to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, he would pretend to be dumb.
Fortunately, he has a good reputation. Others only think that Li You is a real famous scholar who is free and easy-going. Besides, Li You's knowledge of classics and meanings is far inferior to those of these official elites, but his knowledge in two generations is definitely broader.
Listening to his eloquent talk, everyone found it fresh and interesting, and would not be disgusted by it being boring.
At midnight, everyone dispersed and said goodbye. Among these people, Li You was the youngest, so he put them on the sedan one by one, and finally he left.
When Mr. Li turned around at the door, intending to look for his sedan, another group of people came out of the building and took a close look at him.
Li You discovered on the spot that there were two acquaintances in the group. One of them was the prince of Wei Guogong who had impressed him deeply in Yangzhou. He also arrived in the capital at some unknown time.
Another acquaintance was Huang Jian, the son-in-law of An Guogong and the young minister of Guanglu Temple. He was also the candidate favored by Empress Dowager Qian when the imperial court recommended the imperial envoy to inspect the school and admiral Yunhui Division of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Unfortunately, he was rejected by Li
Yu was annoyed, and even made some sarcastic remarks when he pretended to be sad and angry.
Prince Xu, who was at the head, obviously recognized Li You and stopped, and the crowd also stopped moving. Huang Shaoqing, who was on the side, looked up and saw Li You, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Li You guessed that these people must be descendants of distinguished nobles, but he maintained his identity and did not think highly of these dandies, so he just nodded to Prince Xu and left.
"Stop!" someone in the crowd shouted and pushed out.
Li You frowned and took a look. It was someone he had never met before. He was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and walked towards the place where the sedan chair was parked.
"Grandpa told you to stop!" The man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Li You's shoulders. When he approached, Li You felt the smell of alcohol coming towards his face. It turned out that he was half drunk.
Li You was secretly angry in his heart, but with a calm expression on his face, he said to Crown Prince Xu from a distance of ten feet: "I have had a relationship with the Crown Prince, how can the Crown Prince just stay out of it like this?" He could see that Crown Prince Xu was there.
The highest status among this group of people.
Prince Xu said with a calm face: "This is Brother Si Xun of Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses. He is too drunk. Lord Li, please take good care of me." One by one.
Thinking of his humble appearance in Yangzhou, and then looking at his pretentiousness now, Li You cursed in his heart, a snobbish person! As expected, he was as duplicitous as he had originally concluded!
However, from Xu Shizi's words, he learned that this rude drunkard was actually Xun Fei, the commander of the Zhongcheng Army and Horses Division who treated him lightly.
Crown Prince Xu came to the capital to stand up for his father. Tonight's event was hosted by Crown Prince Xu, and all the people invited were those who were officials in the capital and were among the nobles' sons.
During the dinner, the competition for the position of admiral of the five cities was discussed, and Huang Jianduan was gnashing his teeth at Li You. Xun Fei, on the other hand, greatly publicized his glorious deeds of treating Li You lightly, and revealed that Li You was dismissed because of
The result of the suppression by Princess Guide.
At first, Prince Xu was humble to Li You. It was the Jin family's selection of concubines that sounded the alarm for him. He couldn't figure out how powerful Li You was in the palace. The Duke of Wei's family had gold books and iron certificates for generations, so he was not afraid of civil servants.
, but is afraid of the royal family. Li You can successfully choose a woman from the Jin family as the imperial concubine, no matter what means he relies on, this is a manifestation of the backstage in the palace.
It's just that Prince Xu didn't know how strong the backstage was, but after testing it with Qian Guojiu, he determined that Li You and Jin Wanwan were still very confident. Wu Guangen was just the person floating on the water, and behind Wu Guangen was the power.
The illustrious Princess Guide.
But just now I heard that Princess Guide began to suppress Li You, and that Xu Cifu Dingyou returned home, so Li You's weight in Prince Xu's heart dropped to the bottom. The backers in the palace turned against each other, and the backers in the court left the capital.
Is there anything else worth paying attention to?
Without the support of the forces in the palace, Li You and the Jin family are not worth mentioning. It can be said that they have lost the ability to involve the Duke of Xu's family with the private salt matter. Even if the evidence is overwhelming, it will not be able to withstand the Queen Mother or the Emperor in the palace.
In a word, judicial decisions must rely on Zhu's approval to take effect.
He came here tonight to socialize with nobles who hold positions in the capital. There is really no need to speak for Li You who has lost power. It would be uneconomical to offend his fellow guests.
Xu Shizi made no move, but Xun Fei, who was holding Li You's shoulders, became more and more aggressive. He even reached out to slap Li You's face, who was half a head taller than him, while still hurling dirty insults from his mouth.
Among the distinguished disciples, some laughed and some booed, all with the mentality of watching a good show.
Li You, who was becoming more and more proud and arrogant, couldn't bear this. He suddenly changed his color. At the same time, he had already made a judgment in his heart. Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Huang Jian, the young minister of Guanglu Temple, and Xun Fei, the commander of the Zhongcheng Army and Horses Division,
Judging from their status, 80% of these people are noble sons and daughters with official positions...
He immediately threw Xun Fei away with all his strength. Although Mr. Li is known as a talented man, he is tall and strong. He also worked as a government servant and had many fights when he was a child. Generally, the noble children who have been respected and respected since childhood are not good at this aspect.
, is really no match for him.
Commander Gou was already half-drunk, and now he was so dizzy after being slapped by Li You that he couldn't tell the difference between north, south, east, west, and east. Suddenly, Li You grabbed his hair again, and a burst of pain came from his scalp. Before he could cry out, he felt dizzy again, and then
My whole face seemed to have hit a wall, and I couldn't bear the waves of severe pain, so I couldn't help but yell.
It turned out that there was a big tree nearby. Li You pressed Commander Xun's head and smashed it hard against the big tree. Immediately, Xun Fei's face was covered with blood and he was beyond recognition.
Li You knew that after being humiliated by Xun Fei's unscrupulous hands and feet for a while, it was useless to show off. When a scholar encounters a soldier, he has no reason to explain. If he tolerates it a little, he will only make the dandies the laughing stock. If he doesn't do something harsh today,
Yes, he can't keep this face. In this regard, he is still a twenty-year-old young man.
Moreover, since entering Beijing, things have always been going wrong. Mr. Li was also holding back the evil fire in his heart. He took this opportunity to vent it out with Xun Fei in one breath.
It was too late, but it was too late. The onlookers were just waiting to see how the two of them would make trouble. Unexpectedly, Li You suddenly struck a vicious blow and smashed Xun Fei's head against the big tree. They were stunned for a moment and had no time to stop him. No one expected it at all.
Come on, Li You, who has always been known as a talented poet, would actually use force first?
Taking advantage of the moment when others were stunned, Li You shouted to his follower Han Zong, "Here comes the sword!"
Han Zong immediately took out the sharp knife he carried with him and quickly handed it to Li You.
After another heavy blow, Xun Fei passed out. Master Li threw Commander Xun to the ground, holding a sharp knife, and shouted sharply at the distinguished nobles and the servants who were about to make a move: "I have a gold book and an iron coupon given by the emperor.
, Killing without retribution, who dares to step forward! Don’t you know what the crime is for officials to fight each other!" ps: First update!! Please vote for the second update! (To be continued)~.-~
