Chapter 764: The City is Full of Storms

Sometimes a good thing can turn into a bad thing overnight, and what is clearly a great joy is suddenly turned into an unwarranted disaster after one night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Su is not stupid, it can be said that he is smarter than most people, from the day Li Shimin gave Li Su the title of knight, Li Su had a premonition that this matter might not be a happy event for him, and now it is really unfortunate.

Yushitai is a group of people who like to meddle in their affairs gathered together in the imperial court, these people are of little use on weekdays, when it comes to governing the country and the country, they are not as good as the three provinces and six ministries, and the export is often nothing in the words, to put it bluntly, when it comes to state affairs, they only know nonsense, so governing the country is not their strong point.

It's just that if the east and the west are short, which courtiers have a loss of virtue, which nobles are not neatly groomed, which prince's son passes by the East City and takes a porcelain bottle and does not give money, etc., the imperial historians are in good spirits, and one by one they are beaten to death, crying bitterly and heartache, and a porcelain bottle is not given money from their mouths, and it becomes a bad omen for the collapse of morality and etiquette and the collapse of the country, that is, in front of them.

The acting skills are superb, the expression is exaggerated, the words are like knives, and the rebuke is like an arrow.

This kind of people have always been very disgusting in the court, because they are too perfectionist, and any little flaw falls into their eyes as a great rebellious crime, in their eyes, except for themselves, the entire court ministers have become bad people, the object of their dictatorship, even including the emperor.

Li Shimin originally liked to play with birds (note: literally, the bird that plays is the kind of bird with feathers and wings, not anything else), one day the bird was amused, the famous minister Wei Zheng suddenly entered the hall, Rao is Li Shimin's majestic strategy, and he was a little afraid of the most disgusting official in the court, for fear that Wei Zheng would make a big fuss about his bird, so he quickly held the bird in his arms and chatted with Wei Zheng.

And Wei Zheng, the old man, is also extremely bad, I don't know if he has found the bird in Li Shimin's arms, sitting in the hall as if nothing happened, chatting for an hour or two without saying goodbye, until the old man Wei finally retreated, the bird in Li Shimin's arms had already been covered alive by himself.

The power of the official can be seen from this.

As the saying goes, "If you are willing to cut your body, the emperor will pull off the horse", this sentence is very rebellious, but the officials really dare to do it. Wei Zheng, the minister of Zhenguan Dynasty who is not afraid of death and likes to touch the tiger's butt and challenge the limit of survival, has made a textbook-like classic demonstration of how to die perfectly for countless descendants who carry on the past and forge ahead into the future.

Li Su was made a county duke, and the discussion in the Chang'an court began with the official.

There are many reasons, prestige, virtue, merit, age, etc., don't look at Li Su's pretending to be tender in front of the courtiers on weekdays, each uncle is long and uncle, but he has also won the love of the courtiers over the years, and basically did not make enemies for himself, that is because Li Su has not touched everyone's interests, a little young man, relying on the grace of His Majesty, has also made a few contributions, and the sealing of a county marquis should be to make the young man happy, and also make His Majesty happy, so the matter of Li Su's marquis did not make much waves in the court.

However, this time it was different, this time Li Su was the Duke of Juejin County.

"Gong", a young boy in his twenties, has no hair on his mouth and often gets into trouble, how can he be crowned a duke? If he is crowned a duke, should we all die after following His Majesty for many years without merit and hard work?

"Do not suffer from poverty, but suffer from inequality", this sentence is also suitable for the court. Li Shimin has intentionally or unintentionally reduced his title over the years, and everyone knows that since there is basically no hope for the title of Datang, we are seeking an official position, anyway, what I can't get, others can't get it.

But now there is a person who is swimming against the current, and he was made an exception to be crowned a county prince at a young age, and under the jealousy, the courtiers can't figure it out.

The wind and waves rose suddenly, and the city was full of wind and rain.

Headed by Shi Di, the superintendent of the imperial history, a total of five imperial historians from the imperial history platform jointly signed a letter to ask Li Shimin to withdraw his order, and it was not appropriate to reward too much.

After two days, the matter became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more courtiers who couldn't see it, and gradually, more than 100 ministers in the court went up one after another, asking Li Shimin to carefully consider the matter of Li Sujinjue.

Rumors also spread in Chang'an City, and the subjects talked about it openly and secretly, and Li Su passively became the center of the storm.

**************************************************************************

Li Su did not have the slightest sense of trembling in the center of the storm, at this time, he was like a piece of hob meat that had gone through thousands of pots, looking indifferent, lying leisurely in the pavilion of Dongyang Taoist Temple, pillowed on Dongyang's soft and elastic thighs, tilted his head sideways and let Dongyang pluck his ears.

It is spring, everything is recovering, the long-lost sunshine has also emerged from the thick clouds, ten thousand golden lights are sprinkled all over the world, spring flowers are quietly blooming, fine willows are swaying with the wind, the spring breeze blows across the cheeks, a little itchy, but very comfortable.

Dongyang plucked her ears very carefully, a small silver ear spoon in her hand, her expression was serious and careful, like a surgeon who was performing major surgery on a patient.

"There is a commotion in Chang'an City, and even I, a Taoist temple who doesn't care about the world, have rumors coming in, saying that the courtiers almost didn't lift the golden palace of my father for you, but you are good, you still have the leisure to come to me to bask in the sun......"

Dongyang was holding Li Su's ears and thinking about it in pieces, and by the way, he glanced at him angrily.

"Shhh...... Tap! Stab me deaf, I called the whole family to live in your Taoist temple, and rely on you for the rest of your life. Li Su's cheeks twitched, and his eyes squinted carefully, as if painful and comfortable.

Dongyang sneered: "That's good, I'll make you deaf now, and have the ability to move your wife, Li Jia's Ah Weng and your family's maids and servants into the Taoist temple, although I am just a monk, but the most important thing is money, not to mention supporting your whole family for a lifetime, even if you support you for ten lifetimes, it is more than enough." I dare to raise it, do you dare to move here? ”

Li Su's eyes widened suddenly, obviously Dongyang's words were very refreshing.

"You have that much money? Do you want to give it to me? Anyway, I am also your man, a woman's family, what to do with so much money, come, leave it to me, and I will help you keep it...... Hiss! Tap! ”

Dongyang deliberately made a slight heavy hand, and said angrily: "When it comes to money, you are energetic, but you don't care about such a big thing as Jin Jue!" ”

Li Su blinked: "I'm in a good mood today, let's not talk about Jin Jue, let's talk about money...... Tell me, how much money have you saved over the years? You are a princess, and every month in the palace and the province are sent by the month and the degree, what do you do with so much money? Well, give it to me, or invest or not, I'll help you operate, big money gives birth to small money, small money regenerates big money, imagine that one day when you open the door, find that the door is full of money and silver cakes, and block the door of your house tightly, think about how joyful that picture should be, joy from the sky, crying with joy......"

Dongyang sneered, slapped him lightly, and said: "I'm talking nonsense again, hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you, I have money, a lot of money, but I won't give it to you, I won't give you anything, let you look anxious, do you think I'm the stupid girl who didn't understand anything back then?" I was coaxed by you to obediently send the money into the tiger's mouth as soon as you said a few words, and you will try to cheat money from me again in the future? ”

Li Su was taken aback, and then looked at her with burning eyes and affection: "Dongyang, I still like that stupid you at the beginning, you who can easily cheat you out of money, tell me, who did you learn badly from?" Shall I smoke him to death? ”

Dongyang glared at him playfully, and said angrily: "After so many years with you, don't try to hide your tricks from me, if you say that you learn badly, you will learn badly from you......"

Li Su sighed and said Xiao Ran: "Even you have become smarter, won't I have another way to make money in the future?" From now on, the only way I can choose is to embezzle the official treasury in the fish and meat country, and these methods are obviously much more dangerous than cheating you out of your money......"

Dongyang was so angry that he pushed Li Su's head off her lap, and said angrily: "Tell you seriously, you are always not serious, there is a commotion in Chang'an City, and more than a hundred courtiers are negligent to you, why are you not in a hurry at all?" If the crowd is angry, my father may have to cut your county dukeship, won't you become the laughing stock of Chang'an City in the future? How to hold your head up! ”

Li Su sneered: "You have to figure out, if your father cuts my title after being promoted to my knighthood, do you think I am a laughing stock or your father is a laughing stock?" Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan, the holy decree of the official Jin Jue has been issued, it can be said that it is difficult to collect, not to mention more than a hundred courtiers, even if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty jumped out to oppose it, your father's will is also rooted in the ground, and there is no change, besides, I am only promoted to a first-class knight, and I have not done the evil thing of killing people and setting fires, even if your father takes back my title, there is no loss to me. ”

Dongyang sighed faintly, and said: "What a glorious thing it is to be crowned a county duke, those heroes who followed their father at the beginning all wanted to be crowned a prince, and some people waited for a lifetime without waiting, and you, in your twenties, got it, and then your Li family became a real noble gatekeeper, not only for you, but also for your children and grandchildren, even if there are one or two of the descendants who are not angry, with the holy grace and family property of the ancestors, it is not easy to lose the light from generation to generation, this is a great thing for the descendants of Yu Yin, Why didn't you take it seriously? ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why do you want me, an old ancestor, to worry about it?" It's really a bad one, a cramp in my brain to pull the flag and rebel, no matter how much grace and family property I have saved, I can be completely defeated overnight, if this kind of thing really happens, who do you say I have worked hard for in my life? So, I only live for myself, I just want myself and my family to live comfortably, the knighthood is an embellishment, the county marquis what, I will smile and accept it, and then go to the heights, but it will be a little cold, the goal is also big, it is easy to be used as a target, a smart and handsome person like me, even your father often praises me for being a heroic young man who only came out of a thousand years, do you think I look like a target? ”

Dongyang glared at him and said angrily: "I understand, any fallacy and crookedness can be turned into insight when it comes out of your mouth, and I don't know who to learn from this mouth." People in the world say that you are cultivating this life for the next life, but your life is to eat, drink, have fun and bask in the sun, obviously a belly of knowledge and ability, so that it depends on your mood, and even benefit your children and grandchildren, do not take this kind of thing to heart, beware of a hundred years later, your children and grandchildren will not even want to worship your tablet, you will be satisfied. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "The wealth in my life is all earned by my own ability, and my children and grandchildren have not done anything, why should they enjoy ready-made blessings?" I really want to seek a rich and famous, find a way to earn it myself, whether it is killing enemies on the battlefield, or studying and taking the top prize, what I can get with my own ability is called real ability, I am such a lazy person, I don't even want my own title and wealth, and I really don't have time to leave something for my children and grandchildren. ”

Dongyang sighed and said, "That's it, I know your temperament, I have known it since the first day I met you, even my father can't do anything about your temperament, what can I do?" ”

Li Su smiled and lay down on her soft thighs again, and said with a smile: "Come, change the other side, you continue to pluck my ears, I am such a clean person, even if I am split horizontally and vertically, the inside should be clean, as white and flawless as snow, unstained with mortal dust, this is the real me......"

Dongyang slapped him on the head and said, "Okay, it's just the two of us here, boasting, expect me to praise you a few words?" ”

While speaking, Dongyang obediently plucked his other ear with a small white ear spoon.

Li Su squinted comfortably and sighed contentedly, looking like an elegant and lazy cat.

When a woman does anything, her mouth is always not idle, unless she is gagged with food, don't expect her to be quiet, the closer the person she nags, the more she nags, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, Dongyang is not exempt from vulgarity.

"Recently, you have come to me less and less, I heard Luliu say, you have been very close to King Jin recently?"

Li Su didn't bother to speak, he was squinting comfortably, and only hummed faintly from his nostrils.

Dongyang sighed: "Recently, the King of Wei has been busy connecting the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in order to compete for the position of the crown prince, I heard that he has also wooed you, but you refused, the King of Wei is the next prince recognized by the world, you rejected him, maybe you have planted a disaster for the Li family, and you haven't had a heartless time to play so happily with the child of the King of Jin, what do you think?" ”

Li Su still didn't even open his eyes, and only said lightly: "Don't worry, you can't bury the disaster, King Wei's birthday is not enough, and he didn't have the life to be the prince." ”

"How do you know that his birthday is not weighty enough? Do you still know how to tell fortunes? ”

"Of course I won't count, but last year we passed by a Taoist grandfather in our village, that old man looked like a fairy wind and bones, and at first glance he was about to ascend to the immortal realm, so I gave him the birthday of King Wei and asked him to calculate the passing years for His Royal Highness King Wei, who knew that Grandpa Shi died like me and asked for money, and one mouth would cost eight Wen, and I returned half a day to two Wen, and the Taoist grandfather was not happy......"

Listening to Li Su's nonsense, Dongyang was so angry that he gave a little heavy hand.

"Oops, it hurts! It's so deaf! Li Su screamed.

"It's not serious to call you nonsense! When people tell you about business, you are always so perfunctory. "Dongyang Qidao.

Li Su sighed: "Okay, I'm also serious about it, His Royal Highness King Wei really doesn't have the life to be the crown prince, don't look at it like everyone thinks he is the best candidate for the East Palace, but I admit that he doesn't have that life." ”

Dongyang snorted: "Since the failure of the prince's brother's rebellion, the position of the East Palace has been vacant, almost a year, the world's gate lords and scholars are uncertain, although no one dares to mention this matter at the moment, but they are also about to move, the father will not let the prince's position vacant for too long, and the new prince will inevitably be re-established within this year, according to you, if even the king of Wei does not have the life to be the prince, who among the dozen princes of the father is still qualified?" ”

Lowering his head and glancing at him, Dongyang snorted: "Could it be that no decent King Jin can enter the East Palace if he is playing with you all day long?" ”

Li Su suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Dongyang's eyes full of smiles, and sighed: "I have known you for so long, but you are the wisest and most insightful in today's sentence......

Dongyang said blankly: "What did I say?" It is known to the world that the father is about to re-establish the East Palace, and there is also the King of Jin......"

The voice suddenly stopped, Dongyang's slender hand trembled, and his face suddenly became a little sluggish.

Li Su bared his teeth in pain, hurriedly turned over from her thigh and sat up, glared at her and said angrily, "Will you get it?" My maids are more dexterous than yours, and I warn you seriously, if you hurt me again, you will lose the honor of plucking my ears forever! ”

Dongyang couldn't refute this shameless sentence, his face was shocked, and he couldn't help but lower his voice, and said, "What do you mean, the new Donggong candidate is ...... King Jin? ”

Li Su blinked: "It's good to know yourself, don't say it outside, it's going to be fatal, especially if it's your man and my life......"

Dongyang grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Will you bet on the wrong treasure?" King ...... Jin He is still a child, and it is impossible for his father to consider him, how can it be...... You have to think twice, the battles for succession in all dynasties are extremely dangerous, they are all piled up with countless corpses and human lives, your whole family is pointing to you to live a good life, you don't be stupid! ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Others think it is a natural thing, but I just do the opposite, before this year, maybe the King of Jin had no hope of winning the position of the East Palace, but since the beginning of this year, the hope of the King of Jin has increased infinitely, because I am standing behind him and supporting him and pushing him." ”

Dongyang looked at him fixedly, and sighed faintly: "I'm afraid that your push will not only push King Jin into the fire pit, but also take you in." ”

Li Su froze for a moment, glared at her angrily, for a long time, shook his head and muttered to himself: "This woman not only can't pick out her ears, but she can't even chat, and suddenly she wants to go home......"
