Chapter Eighty-Four: Losing Authority
Li Xun looked at the official documents in his hand, with a wry smile on his face, he was dismissed, and he was scolded, rubbed the documents in his hand, and threw them away, Li Xun muttered to himself: "How does this scolding tone look like it came from the hands of the emperor's uncle?" ”
"Brother Gou'er, someone must have framed you, it's better to find the emperor to explain his true intentions, or he can be reinstated."
Zhu Zhengguo stood aside, and he also saw the documents of the ministry clearly.
"If you want to add sin, why should you do it?"
Li Xun shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, if the official is gone, it will be gone, just to rest for a while and be happy." ”
Zhu Zhengguo smiled bitterly: "You pulled up this team, it's just a bit presentable, you're leaving, what should we do?" ”
Li Xun touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally patted Zhu Zhengguo's shoulder and comforted: "I will find a way to solve it, and I will not easily hand over my brothers to outsiders, you can rest assured." ”
Zhu Zhengguo nodded, since Li Xun had made a decision, he didn't have to say anything.
Before leaving, Li Xun had a good reunion with more than 1,000 brothers from the inspection institute, and returned drunk, although it was only a short period of three months, but this team was established by Li Xun himself, how could he have no feelings? And the soldiers of the inspection institute are also extremely trusting and grateful to Li Xun, the reason is very simple, Li Xun gave them the land to survive, let them have food, and talk about it, Baihuayuan action, more than ten soldiers died in battle, Li Xun did not break his promise, each dead soldier's family, all given 50 acres of land, and 50 taels of silver.
Doing a good job and being dismissed for no reason, how could Li Xun not have a little anger in his heart? So in the past few days, Li Xun didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home, and didn't take the initiative to go to the palace to see Zhao Zhi or Li Yi.
Idle and bored on this day, Li Xun took a few bottles of good wine and took Jiang Daxiong to Fan Zhongyun's house.
Entering the end of March, the weather has begun to slowly warm, today is sunny, it is a good weather, Fan Zhongyun sat in the yard, quietly reading a book, his wife Niu is holding broken grain on the side, feeding chickens and ducks, such a scene, there is no difference from ordinary people, but who can know, what kind of earth-shattering genius does the man who reads quietly have in his chest?
"Sister-in-law, Lao Fan, I'm here."
Before he entered the door, Li Xun was shouting loudly.
Niu had a smile on his face, looked at the door, Fan Zhongyun also put down the books in his hand, looked at Li Xun and Jiang Daxiong who had just entered the door, and said with a wry smile: "Daxiong is here, and the house will be empty again!" ”
Li Xun laughed when he heard this, but Jiang Daxiong scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smirked: "Brother Fan, I don't eat too much, just eat a bucket of rice." ”
"Don't listen to your big brother Fan, I just bought rice yesterday, and I can eat as much as I want."
Niu Shi glared at Fan Zhongyun, put down the bamboo basket in his hand, clapped his hands, and said to Li Xun: "Dog, you sit down first, I'll make tea for you." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Xun thanked him, sat down next to Fan Zhongyun, and said, "You should know about me!" ”
Fan Zhongyun nodded: "I just found out yesterday." ”
Li Xun asked strangely, "You don't seem to be surprised at all. ”
Fan Zhongyun smiled: "What's so strange about this, do you still want to do it in the patrol yard?" ”
Li Xun was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
Fan Zhongyun said lightly: "Jingzhao Mansion is a place of right and wrong, each Jingzhao Yin can't do it for an average of a year, Liu Zhongyuan's previous Jingzhao Yin was falsely accused of death, the danger can be imagined, you are in this kind of place, how can Concubine Li let it go?" ”
Li Xun nodded, these truths, in fact, he has also thought of them in the past few days.
Li Xun sighed: "The truth is such a truth, but there is always something uneasy in my heart." ”
Fan Zhongyun said with a smile: "Since the reputation has been opened, what are you doing there?" The inspection yard is too small, there is no room for display at all, you are there, don't offend people, you can't do much political achievements, someone helps you leave, you should be grateful. ”
Li Xun said a little unwillingly: "I got the inspection yard up single-handedly, and now that I am leaving, I am really unhappy to think that I was picked up by others." ”
Fan Zhongyun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are worrying about it all day long, the families of the soldiers in the patrol house are in your hands, leading the land you gave, to put it bluntly, these people are almost your private soldiers, even if you leave, as long as Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi are there, anyone who goes will be in vain, and they will not be able to command at all." ”
Li Xun's eyes lit up, yes! I'm really stupid, I can, I haven't figured out such a simple truth.
Li Xun laughed dryly: "I was confused for a while, and my brain turned a little slower." ”
Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun and asked softly, "What are your plans next?" ”
"What can you plan, the official has nothing to do, let's rest at home for a while!"
Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "I'm afraid your wish is about to come to naught." ”
"What do you mean?"
Fan Zhongyun rolled his eyes again: "You have such a good aunt to help you above, if the promotion is still so slow, then what kind of officialdom do you come out to mix, just stay at home." ”
Li Xun thought about it, and thought that the inspection court was still a little unwilling, and said: "I want to recommend Zhu Zhengguo to take over my position in front of the emperor, what do you think?" ”
Fan Zhongyun pondered for a moment and said: "The emperor doesn't have a good impression of the generals, you can say this kind of thing directly, there are some taboos, for fear of arousing the emperor's suspicion, it is better to talk to your aunt first, and let her blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor, it may be more effective." ”
Li Xun nodded, this is a good suggestion.
At this time, Niu brought tea to Li Xun and Jiang Daxiong, and added hot water to Fan Zhongyun's cup, and said with a smile: "You accompany your big brother Fan to talk, and I will cook." ”
Li Xun smiled: "I can eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law, it is my oral administration." ”
Niu smiled and turned to leave.
Fan Zhongyun looked at Li Xun and asked, "Li Xun, I heard that you raided the Hundred Flowers Courtyard that night and got millions of taels of silver, but is there such a thing?" ”
Li Xun took a sip of water, nodded and said, "This is indeed the case, I transported all the silver back to Jingzhao Mansion." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xun suddenly said a little strangely: "Don't you say that I almost forgot, after this silver was transported back to Jingzhao Mansion, there was no follow-up, could it be that Liu Zhongyuan swallowed it alone?" ”
"Liu Zhongyuan is not that kind of person, and no one dares to swallow these millions of taels of silver so boldly."
Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "I heard that after the outbreak of the Baihuayuan incident, Liu Zhongyuan frequently entered the palace, which should have something to do with this money." ”
"What do you mean..."
Li Xun suddenly understood.
Fan Zhongyun smiled: "More than one million taels of silver, not a small amount, if you enter the household department, it will be the state, and if you enter the imperial city, it will be the emperor's alone." ”
Li Xun pursed his lips: "The whole world belongs to the emperor, what else do you share with mine." ”
Fan Zhongyun smiled and said nothing, the whole world is the emperor? This topic is really not easy to say, the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise!
