Chapter 9: On the Word

Li Fei pretended to be angry: "Xinyu, you little girl, why do you eavesdrop on what we say?" ”

Li Xinyu took out a bowl of soup and said coquettishly: "Dad, my daughter saw that you came back late, so she specially stewed a bowl of soup for you, so she didn't mean to eavesdrop." ”

Li Feed praised while drinking: "Good, good." It's still a good daughter, an intimate little padded jacket. ”

The next day, Di Hou Ye and Li Fu entered the palace again to meet Yu Wang Jiwen. Li He and Wei Qi had nothing to do, and went to Du Kangju to drink together.

The wine and food are all together, and the two drink happily. Suddenly, Li He saw the short man surnamed Ren and the tall man sitting at the opposite table, and the two of them were chatting.

Tall man: "Brother Ren, what has happened to Kai Fengke recently?" ”

Short man: "I'll tell you the truth, there's a big deal." I heard that King Yu discussed with Ji Hou Ye and Di Hou Ye for several days, as if he was planning something to change the law. ”

Tall man: "Change?" What the hell, unheard of. ”

Short man: "I haven't found out what the change is." However, I also heard that King Yu planned to appoint a prime minister to preside over the reform of the law. ”

Tall man: "Yuguo is going to change the day." only hates me with all my blood, but I have no way to serve the country. ”

After Li He and Wei Qi listened, they moved to the opposite table and said to the two people, "Meet the two brothers." ”

The tall and short duo hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Fortunately, fortunately." Dare to ask the two honorable names? ”

Li He: "Under Li He, this is General Wei Qiwei." ”

Tall man: "I have long admired the two great names." The villain Dongfang Tiger, this is a friend under him, called Ren Zuo. ”

The four of them sat down and talked to each other.

Li He: "Shicai, we overheard the conversation between the two sons, mentioning the change of the law, where did the news of the prince Ren come from?" ”

Ren Zuo pretended to be mysterious: "The villain has nothing else to do, that is, he has many friends and is naturally well-informed." As for the sources, it is inconvenient to say. ”

Dongfang Hu patted Ren Zuo on the shoulder, and said to Wei Qi and Li He: "Brother Ren's ancestral residence is Kaifeng, and he knows all the three religions and nine streams, and there is no gossip that he doesn't know. ”

Li He asked Ren Zuo: "A few days ago, I saw that the two of you also brought two friends and drank here in Du Kangju. Who are they? Can you refer me to him? ”

Ren Zuo pretended to be mysterious again: "Li Gongzi, don't worry, you will naturally know them in the future." ”

Wei Qi interjected and asked: "Dare to ask Brother Ren, Brother Li and I are bored, what fun places to go in Kai Fengke, I recommend it." ”

Ren Zuo thought for a while: "I heard that tonight, Master Ji Shangji is going to hold a banquet in his own mansion, and there will be many dignitaries and nobles attending at that time, and Ji Shang is going to talk about the scriptures with everyone." ”

Li He and Wei Qi glanced at each other.

At the end of the wine party, Li He and Wei Qi returned to Dihou's mansion.

The two of them had met Di Hou Ye and Li Fei. Di Hou Ye: "Today, His Royal Highness King Yu wants to appoint the prime minister and preside over the law change, and ask me and Ji Hou Ye what they mean." What do you think? ”

Wei Qi: "Master Li Fu is familiar with the law, so he is naturally the best choice. ”

Di Hou Ye nodded: "The old minister also highly recommends Master Li to His Majesty." ”

Li He: "I don't know what Marquis Ji said?" ”

Di Hou Ye thought thoughtfully: "Hou Ye Ji also advocated that Lord Li serve as prime minister, which is really unexpected. ”

Li Fu saluted to Hou Ye Di: "Thank you Hou Ye for your kindness, if the subordinate is fortunate enough to take on this important position, he will definitely go to the soup and live up to the trust of King Yu and Hou Ye." ”

The meeting is over. Li He and Wei Qi left Dihou Mansion and came to Ji Shang's Mansion together, and sure enough, it was full of traffic, and nobles and celebrities gathered. Li He and Wei Qi looked from afar, only to see the visitors, who handed over invitations one after another and entered the Ji Mansion.

Li He and Wei Qi hid in a quiet place on the corner of the street, and saw two noble sons walking towards them. Li He stepped forward and saluted: "May I ask the two sons, but go to the Ji Mansion for a banquet?" ”

One of the noblemen: "Exactly. ”

Li He: "Where can I get the invitation to the banquet?" ”

The noble prince sneered contemptuously: "The invitation card was naturally sent by Master Ji Shang, and only I and other upper-class celebrities have it." You and other small people in the market, don't you also want to be elegant? After saying that, the two noblemen burst out laughing.

Li He and Wei Qi looked at each other and smiled.

Li He and Wei Qi wore the long robes of the two noble sons just now, walked triumphantly to the front of Ji Shang's Mansion, bowed to the invitation, and swaggered into Ji Shang's Mansion.

Li He quietly asked Wei Qi: "Brother Wei, did we tie those two boys too tightly?" ”

Wei Qi: "It's okay, I can't die." I've gagged both of them with strips of cloth so that no one else can find out in the middle of the night. ”

In the corner alley. The two noblemen were stripped naked, and their hands and feet were tied with thick hemp rope and buckled under the bamboo basket.

Li He and Wei Qi entered the lobby, only to see that the guests were full of friends and people. They were worried about goofs, so they silently found a seat in the back row and sat down.

Suddenly, everyone stood up and saluted, and it turned out to be Master Ji Shang. Ji Shang sat down on the main seat, and the two masters, Tian Ze and Li Ke, also sat on both sides. Ji Shang motioned for everyone to sit down, and the banquet began.

After three rounds of drinking, Ji Shang signaled everyone to be quiet: "When the ancestor was here, he once taught my generation with "benevolence". The old man thinks that he is well-read, sticks to his beliefs, asks for advice with an open mind, and pays attention to current affairs, and benevolence is among them. I wonder what you think? ”

Everyone spoke one after another, some of them were vain and their brains were incomprehensible, and some of them were clever and made Ji Shang's sycophants. Everyone said endlessly, Li He got impatient, got up and said: "I think that the so-called benevolence is to care for others, that is, not to be happy with things, not to be sad about oneself, to live in the temple is worried about its people, and to be far away from the rivers and lakes, it is worried about its king." ”

Li He's words rang out, and suddenly, everyone fell silent. Ji Shang couldn't help but look sideways: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself... Childe Takami, dare to ask the daimyo? ”

Li He said: "Villain Li He, meet Master Ji." ”

Ji Shang: "It's really terrifying, and the words of the son have benefited the old man a lot." ”

At the banquet, the three masters continued to discuss with the crowd. Li He sat down and said to the side proudly, "Brother Wei, what I just said is good?" No one responded. Li He hurriedly turned his head to see that Wei Qi didn't know when he left the lobby, and he didn't know where he had slipped away.

Li He was worried that something would happen to Wei Qi, so he quickly sneaked out of the lobby Li He searched for a long time in Ji Shang's mansion, but Wei Qi was nowhere to be seen. Li He was muttering in his heart, when he suddenly heard Wei Qi call him in a low voice: "Brother Li Xian, I'm here." ”

Li He looked around, and it turned out that Wei Qi was lying on the wall and looking into the backyard. Li He jumped over the railing, also went up to the wall, and lay beside Wei Qi: "Brother Wei, what are you doing on the wall?" ”

Wei Qi: "Shhhh I heard that Ji Shang has a daughter named Ji Yue, who is very beautiful. You see, in the study over there, the girl reading the book is. As he spoke, Wei raised his finger and pointed forward.

Li He took a look, and sure enough, there was a girl reading in the study. The girl is graceful, and she does not lose everyone's beautiful bearing.

Li He swallowed his saliva: "Brother Wei, you peeked at the beauty here, and your sister-in-law knew about it, so it was worth it." ”

Wei Qi couldn't help pursing his lips: "What are you doing with her, it's really disappointing." Touch it or not, look at the head office. ”

Suddenly, a team of guards flashed out on the side of the high wall, pointing at Li He and Wei Qi and shouting angrily: "Where did the two thieves on the wall come from?" ”

Li He and Wei were startled, slipped off the wall, and ran in the direction of the courtyard. In desperation, Li He hid in the cracks of the rockeries. The guards gradually surrounded him, Li He was anxious and afraid, and when he turned his head, he saw that Wei Qi was burrowing into the bushes, but half of his butt was exposed.

Li He shouted at the bushes: "The thief is here!" ”

The guards followed the sound and rushed towards the bushes, and Li He took advantage of this moment to escape from the Ji Mansion.

On the street, Li He scurried all the way, and the guards chased after him. Unknowingly, Li He ran outside the courtyard of Li Jiaofu. Li He looked behind him, and the pursuers were still separated by a long distance. Li He didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped over the wall and jumped into the courtyard. Unexpectedly, Li He had just landed, but he stepped on a moss board, slipped on the soles of his feet, stumbled a few times, and then fell to his knees.

Li He suddenly noticed that there was a woman standing in front of his nose.
