Chapter 1140: A Few Families Rejoice, Some Families Are Sad
Faced with Wenchen's dissatisfaction, Li Zhongyi categorically issued an arrest warrant. So, Ti rode out in all directions, arresting people all night, wailing, crying, and screams of resisting arrest and being killed, resounding through Kaifeng City at night.
"Xianggong, there's a lot of commotion outside." Fan Qi, the chief housekeeper of the Fan family, reminded Fan Qi very worriedly.
Fan Zhen smiled faintly and said, "Since ancient times, Xiucai has rebelled for three years without success. If you want to overthrow Li Zhongyi by lip service, is that possible? ”
Fan Qi sighed, in the past, when Fan Zhen was the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, there was a lot of traffic in front of Fan's house, and there was an endless stream of dignitaries.
Now, Fan quality has lost momentum, and many courtiers came to visit at the beginning, but now, it is already a door!
As the saying goes, the prime minister's concierge is a seven-rank official. In the past, even if Zhu Zi was above the third grade, when he saw Fan Qi, he had to be polite, and he didn't dare to slack off a little.
Now, the powerful Prime Minister Fan has become a thing of the past, and Fan Qi is naturally low, and no one cares about him anymore.
"Old Seven, you have been with me for so many years and have seen a lot of the world, you should be sober and sober, the dehaired phoenix is not as good as a chicken, understand?" Fan Zhen persuaded Fan Qi verbally, but in fact, he was somewhat uneasy in his heart.
In the past, I was busy with government affairs, and I often didn't even have time to eat, and at that time, Fan Zhen would also complain a few words, but his heart was down-to-earth and satisfied.
Now, Fan Zhen spends more time on health preservation, but after he is idle, his physical condition is getting worse. Last night, he rested in the room of his favorite concubine, but no matter how hard he served, he could not achieve his good deeds.
It has been more than a month since Li Zhongyi entered the capital, but Fan Zhen has been sitting in the house, let alone meeting Li Zhongyi, and even the old subordinates and protégés of the old days are gradually not moving around.
The tree is falling and scattered, the same is true in ancient and modern times, Fan Zhen can fully understand the logic, but he is still a little stubborn.
In the palace of Huayang County, Li Qiong and Li Hu, father and son, were gathered around the charcoal basin and talked about wine.
"My lord, these ministers are not afraid of the death of the clan because their heads have been caught in the door, and they dare to collapse the king's enthronement ceremony?" Li Hu was very puzzled and asked his father Li Qiong.
Today's Li Hu is just when the spring breeze is proud, and since he, the new judge of the same Da Jiuqing, has been to the ordnance superintendent no less than five times in secret.
No matter how stupid Li Hu is, he knows a shortcut to promotion: the closer he is to the king, the easier it is to be appreciated and promoted. Therefore, many middle- and lower-level bureaucrats who can't rely on Li Qiong have also moved closer to Li Hu for the first time in history.
"Hehe, the new dynasty and the new atmosphere, the new magnates, where are the old courtiers for the so-called etiquette issues?" Li Qiong knocked a fried fragrant watermelon seed, tasted the hot tea, and said with a smile, "My virtuous grandson-in-law, is your son-in-law a person who cares about infamy?" ”
Li Hu frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and then stumbled and said: "My son heard that the guy who gave him the nickname of Copper Stinky back then was not only not killed, but is still alive and happy. ”
"Isn't that it? It's up to you to think about it. This person who is not at home, who knows that firewood and rice are expensive? It's easy to stand by the river and scold the person who holds the boat, but if you really go to hold the boat, hehe, most of them will sink. "Li Qiong can't fight wars, and with a political vision, even the old lady of the folded family is far inferior to his seven successes.
"Qi Niang, this child, has courage and knowledge, courage and resourcefulness, it is not in vain that I deliberately indulged her in the first place!" Li Qiong was proud, and he and Li Hu were the only two people in the room, and there was no door on their mouths, and they actually leaked their original privacy.
Li Hu's reaction was a little slow, but after a while, he woke up like a dream, slapped his thigh and said: "Dare to love is an adult's secret help, I'll just say, our house is strictly guarded, how can she escape from the house so easily?" ”
"Hey, Qi Niang, this kid is a dead eye. Your son-in-law categorically refused to take her as a concubine, but she screwed her up and kept thinking about your son-in-law. Alas, I was also very conflicted in my heart at the beginning, your son-in-law's lustful reputation has not been spread outside for a day or two, in case Qi Niang falls out of favor in the future, wouldn't it hurt her? Li Qiong's sincere words were uncomfortable in her heart, so she dared to say something to Li Hu, a stuffy gourd.
After all, some words are taboo, and as long as they are spread, they will definitely cause an uproar.
"Your Excellency, you may be overly worried. Let's take my son as an example, Xinna's beautiful concubine, if she doesn't really like it, she will only be tired of playing for half a year at most. However, Qi Niang has been with the king for more than two years, according to Li Niang's secret observation, the eyebrows are tightly locked, and the hips and legs are not opened, but I am afraid that she is still in the room. It can be seen that the king really loves our family's Qi Niang. ”
Li Qiong glared at her, her chest was so angry that her chest was stuffy, Li Hu's words were too straightforward, he was simply a brainless bastard.
Let's ask, how can a father directly say that his biological daughter has not yet broken the truth? Others are afraid of it, but Li Hu, an honest man, said that this is too shameless.
However, Li Qiong was angry, but she felt extra pity for Li Hu's simple son. Li Hu never hides it in front of Li Qiong, and has always had the habit of saying something.
Perhaps, the foolish have the blessing of the fool! Li Hu not only does his father be sincere, but also his husband is sincere, no, as long as Li Zhongyi goes to the Ordnance Prison, he will take Li Hu with him.
Even if Li Hu didn't have the brains to say the wrong thing, Li Zhongyi was not only not angry, but was more willing to lead Li Hu around.
After a long time, Li Qiong also saw the doorway, the ordnance supervisor was particularly valued by Li Zhongyi, and even the access control was a five-post sentry, plus various secret sentries, maybe it was a guy like Li Hu who dared to tell the truth, right?
"San Lang, our family is about to officially become a family of relatives, you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to fall into the hands of others and affect the future of Qi Niang."
Li Qiong tore apart in the first half of his life in the field, and in the second half of his life in the officialdom, he understands a truth better than anyone else: accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger!
In these years, there are not many real honest people. The so-called loyalty is against the ear, and people like Li Hu who like to tell the truth, as long as they don't notice it for a while, they are easily framed by villains.
When the situation comes, it is easy to be beaten down to eighteen layers of hell and never be able to turn over.
"My lord, my son's head is indeed a bit like wood, but he is not really stupid, and he can still carry it clearly. The son only tells the truth in front of the king and the lord, and when there are others, the son is a gourd with a sawed mouth, and he does not speak when he is killed. As soon as Li Hu said this, Li Qiong pondered carefully, hehe, what is really the case.
The changes in the political arena have always been a few happy and a few worried, some people should be imprisoned, and some people will soar.
Just when Zuo Ziguang and Li Yanqing were busy arresting people, Kong Kun's mansion was feasting, and the guests were all Hongru who was more or less famous throughout the Great Zhou.
Kong Kun, the original governor of Dengzhou, has been transformed into one of the four ministers of the cabinet to participate in political affairs.
In the cabinet, Prime Minister Wei Renpu is not very fond of managing affairs, Li Qiong is even less in charge of affairs, and it is Liu Jinshan, Li Zhongyi's confidant, who really presides over daily government affairs.
However, the order of duty in the cabinet is Wei Renpu leading Kong Kun and Liu Jinshan cooperating with Li Qiong.
As long as you stay in the inner circle of power, there are countless benefits and dividends. Wei Renpu has been waiting for Li Zhongyi to reward them with grace to the descendants of the Wei family, not only does not care about things, but also is very talkative. As for Kong Kun's opinion, even if he does not agree with it, he will not refute it in person.
So, after coming and going like this, Kong Kun can be regarded as the real power faction in the cabinet.
In an official-based society, as long as you are powerful and powerful, no matter how ugly you look, there will always be people with clear hearts and bright eyes, and they will come up.
In the past few days, Kong Kun's house has been full of high-ranking friends, laughing and laughing.
Kong Kun himself also knew in his heart that he, the outer Confucius brother, was originally the branch of Confucius who was the least popular with the Confucians. Now, the Confucians present here are only completely ignorant of it, and they are full of enthusiasm to talk with him about quoting scriptures, as if he is the most orthodox Confucian at the helm.
As for whether the Hongru have other thoughts, Kong Kun is too lazy to guess, in his opinion, the fact that his biological daughter Kong Daiyao is about to participate in the draft must also be an extremely important plus.
To tell the truth, Kong Kunyin is a brother of Confucius, and he has been cold-eyed and unwelcome since he was a child. Therefore, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Kong Kun studies very hard, and his academic foundation is undoubtedly extremely solid.
Because of the family heritage, Kong Daiyao has received a good family education since she was a child, and her academic level far exceeds that of ordinary lifters, and even the second- or third-class jinshi with the title of the gold list.
Kong Kun often said helplessly and regretfully: If the girl of my family is a man, she will be the champion!
However, Kong Kun's body is not as glamorous as the superficial knowledge. Earlier, Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter were drunk in the big scandal of the Lord's Mansion, although time has passed, but it is still firmly remembered by people with a heart on the little black book, just waiting for the right time to make trouble.
Since Kong Kun became the governor of the political affairs, no one dared to publicly spread the scandal of Mrs. Zhang and Kong Daiyao, so as not to annoy Kong Kun and cause blood luck in the future.
Even if Kong Kun no longer has real power, after all, he stays on duty in the cabinet every day, and he has a lot of opportunities to meet Li Zhongyi.
If it really makes Kong Kun hold a grudge, hehe, God knows which day when Li Zhongyi's mood is very bad, if Kong Kun takes advantage of the situation to slander him, it will be very bad.
"Gong Kong, there is a common idea among the next few people, should we ask for the seal for Kong Men?" There is a Hongru who is enthusiastic about his career, ignoring the cannibalistic eyes of the rest of the people, and actually forcibly came out and slapped the sycophants to the point of reaching the peak.
The thing that Kong Kun thought about the most in his life was that Neikong repeatedly slapped him in the face publicly, affirming that Waikong was not an orthodox Confucian race.
If, led by Kong Kun the edict of the imperial court, he went to Qufu to grace the entire Confucian Gate, what kind of scenery would it be?
This Hongru's suggestion can be said to be a trick that has worked, and it completely scratches the most itchy place in Kong Kun's heart!
