Chapter 281: Li Jingbai went to WH County
After Wang Zhizheng and Tong Yingqiu handed over, he found that his shoulder had been cut with a one-foot-long knife wound, and he suddenly relaxed, and he felt distressed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Zhizheng was sitting in the garden of the Zhixian Yamen covering his shoulders, and Tong Yingqiu and Zhang Cai hurriedly commanded Lang Zhong to come over and bandage Wang Zhizheng's wounds.
Wang Zhizheng had just come down from the battlefield, and his mood was not calm, he said to Tong Yingqiu: "Yingqiu, that Li Yan just said on the battlefield that he didn't want me to kill the thieves who surrendered, and he was angry with his scholar!"
Tong Yingqiu hurriedly said: "Master Li is young, don't be like him, it's stupid to read too much!"
Wang Zhizheng sneered: "Are they prisoners of the enemy? Have they put down the weapons in their hands? They are thieves, and they all have a lot of human lives in their hands, wouldn't they gather in the mountains and forests again to do evil?
Tong Yingqiu hurriedly bowed down and said, "What Hou Ye said is right! Governor Li has already arrived, and he is teaching Li Yan a lesson, don't take it too seriously." ”
Wang Zhizheng looked up at Tong Yingqiu: "Why didn't Governor Li tell me when he came?"
Tong Yingqiu hurriedly said: "It's Governor Li who is afraid that it will affect your rest and recuperation, so he specially instructed the lower officials not to inform you!"
Wang Zhizheng smiled, waved his hand and said: "Back then, in Beijing, I kept him a copy, but Zhou Yanru had to say that he was a remnant of the eunuch party, and in the end, the emperor compromised and demoted him to Taiping Mansion as the prefect!"
Tong Yingqiu hurriedly said: "I didn't expect you to have this relationship with him." ”
At this time, Li Jingbai walked over quickly, walked to Wang Zhizheng's side and knelt respectfully on the ground: "Say hello to Hou Ye, I don't dare to ask to see you because I am afraid of disturbing Hou Ye's injury, but I am really worried." ”
Wang Zhizheng looked at Li Jingbai and said with a smile: "Jingbai, I haven't seen you for a few years, why do you have gray hair?"
Li Jingbai sighed and said: "Over the years, I have been unwilling, so I have aged prematurely." Hou Ye is seven years younger than me, but he is still as young as a teenager!"
Wang Zhizheng smiled: "I did my best to Zhou Yanru's incident back then, but I couldn't save you, you won't have a grudge in your heart, right? You followed Huang Liji to the throne and made so many contributions, but in the end you didn't get fair treatment!"
Li Jingbai sat opposite Wang Zhizheng and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, Master Hou, if you don't protect me, I guess I would have been exiled a long time ago." I don't actually want to be a big official and hold great power, I just think that it is my obligation to be able to eradicate the eunuchs.
Wang Zhizheng sighed and said: "Don't talk about these old things! Since we are here, let's use Tong Yingqiu's wine and food to catch up with the old!"
Tong Yingqiu hurriedly pulled over the master and asked, "Are you ready for the banquet?" They counted the casualties of the soldiers, and the Hou Ye and Li Zhifu were tired, so hurry up and start the banquet!"
The master bowed down and said, "Since you have prepared the wine and food, please invite the Lord Hou and the prefect to the banquet!"
Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, I want to take a shower to relieve my fatigue!
Tong Yingqiu hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare hot water for Wang Zhizheng to take a bath.
After taking a bath, Wang Zhizheng only felt a lot more comfortable, and the wound on his shoulder was bandaged again, and then he turned around the courtyard twice with his hands behind his back.
Wang Zhizheng is often injured, and his willpower is super strong, so the scar on his back is almost negligible to him.
Wang Zhizheng bathed in the cool breeze in the courtyard for a while, and then saw Tong Yingqiu walking over quickly and said, "Master Hou, have you washed up, let's go drink!"
Then guide Wang Zhizheng into the living room in front.
When I entered the living room, I saw that everyone had arrived, Huang Zongxi, Li Jingbai, Li Yan father and son, Zhang Cai, Zhang Pu, Xia Yunyi, Zhang Bin, and Wuhu County Lieutenant were all waiting there.
Seeing Wang Zhizheng walking in, everyone quickly stood up and bowed.
Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, I fought a tough battle today, and I'm tired, hurry up and sit down!"
Only then did everyone sit down one after another.
Tong Yingqiu let Wang Zhizheng to the VIP seat.
Wang Zhizheng nodded and sat down, and the servants hurriedly added wine to the princes.
Tong Yingqiu stood up and said, "Governor Li is here, and it just so happens that Tong doesn't have to go to Taiping Mansion to report." For the sake of the bandits in Wuhu County, he not only personally commanded the soldiers and horses to suppress the thieves, but also donated a huge amount of money, so that I, the magistrate of Wuhu County, would be ashamed! I will respect the Hou Ye for the people of the county!"
With that, he bowed down and raised his glass.
Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and drank it all.
Li Jingbai stood up and said: "I am an old friend with Hou Ye, and we will talk about it today, but what is more important today is what Tong Zhixian said, Hou Ye contributed money and effort for the peace of my Taiping Mansion, and the handsome army suppressed bandits, which was originally our business, and our local officials were not fair, but they had to bother Hou Ye, which made me Li Jingbai feel ashamed!" But today is the day of our victory, for the disaster Wuhu County for many years of horse scrapers, donkey scrapers, cattle scrapers, three or four hundred people, more than a county's standing troops, strong soldiers and horses, now led by the Hou Ye in one fell swoop, which makes our county shocked, the people can't help but set off firecrackers to celebrate!"
As he spoke, Li Jingbai raised the wine glass above his head: "Today, the lower officials wish the Hou Ye good health and longevity!"
Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "Brother Jingbai, I really didn't see it, you are also so good at high-sounding words! Okay, since you toast, brother, I can't toast without eating and drinking!"
Anyway, drink it all.
That's the same as getting to the point.
Li Jingbai stood up and bowed to Wang Zhizheng and said: "I heard that Tong Zhixian said today that on the battlefield, the dog Li Yan angered the Hou Ye, and he was still young, ignorant and inexperienced, I scolded him and asked him to ask you to plead in person!"
After that, he said sharply to Li Yan: "Rebel! Come and apologize to Hou Ye!"
Li Yan was also very stubborn, stood up and raised his wine glass and said: "Master Hou, my father asked me to make amends to Master Hou, and I have to make amends, but I still don't agree with your behavior of killing and surrendering soldiers!"
When Li Jingbai heard this, he was furious, and everyone looked at each other, for fear that Wang Zhizheng would be angry under his anger.
Everyone stared at Wang Zhizheng with anxiety.
Wang Zhizheng held the wine glass without saying a word, Li Jingbai didn't expect his son to be so uninteresting, he strode over and was about to beat Li Yan.
At this time, Wang Zhizheng suddenly waved his hand: "Brother Li, stop!"
Li Jingbai stopped, looked at Wang Zhizheng and said: "The son is not the fault of the father, today he can contradict the Hou Ye, and tomorrow he will dare to rebel against the emperor!"
