Chapter 177: Get on an errand
Early the next morning, He'er came to report, and Zhao Tuiguan asked to see him.
Li Xiu felt a little headache, he knew that Zhao Xiong wanted to enter Beijing as an official, but he didn't plan to let Zhao Xiong enter Beijing.
Although the two of them can be regarded as allies, Li Xiu is planning to rebel, and Zhao Xiong does not know about it. This matter is very important, and Zhao Xiong is not his cronies, so naturally he can't let him know.
Zhao Xiong is a capable person, and Li Xiu's plan is to keep him in Kaifeng for his own use. When the time comes, drag him to his thief ship.
Let's perfunctory him first.
Li Xiu made up his mind in his heart, so he let He'er go out to invite someone.
In the hall.
Li Xiu smiled and flattered: "Lord Fuzun is busy with official business, how can you have time to come to the door today?" ”
Zhao Xiong was promoted to six levels in a row, which is not quite logical. It's just that at that time, the Kaifeng Mansion incident, and the officials of the government let the pot be served, but Zhao Xiong had no bad deeds, but he also had good political achievements.
If you rashly transfer others to Kaifeng and are not familiar with the local situation, it will be difficult to take over this mess. After Zhu Youzhen watched Xiao Yun's recital, he actually wrote a batch of pens and promoted Zhao Xiong to the prefect of Kaifeng.
Today's Zhao Xiong can really be described as a spring breeze. But in front of Li Xiu, his prefect is really nothing. He smiled and said, "How can the old man compare with the son?" ”
He didn't use official titles, apparently to show that the two were close.
Li Xiu smiled: "You are old and confused, I have only learned from the fourth grade!" ”
In terms of rank, Li Xiu's pacification envoy is really one level lower. But is it a Beijing official, or a yamen like Jinyiwei, can it be compared?
Knowing that he was squeezing himself, Zhao Xiong smiled, and then got to the point and said, "I came over today because I wanted to ask my son for help." ”
Li Xiu pretended to be surprised and said, "What's the matter with Lord Zhao?" ”
Zhao Xiong glanced at him and said, "The dog has no interest, and he is idle all day long, I want Gongzi to find him an errand in the capital." ”
Li Xiu pretended to mutter: "Well, this."
Zhao Xiong has been in officialdom for a long time, so he naturally knows that the other party is pinching himself. It stands to reason that at this time, it is necessary to give silver to show your heart. But he knew very well in his heart that Li Xiu was not short of this money.
He suddenly asked, "The Li family is now changing farming?" ”
Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and said strangely: "Lord Zhao knows this?" ”
After asking, it suddenly dawned on me that the matter of changing farming was public, and anyone who had a heart could notice it. Now it is only carried out in scope, and the government will not interfere. If you expand the scale of cultivation, it will be a bit troublesome.
Zhao Xiong smiled and didn't explain, but said bluntly: "This official thinks that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." I plan to go to the imperial court and carry out a range of trial cultivation in Kaifeng Mansion, what does the son think? ”
Li Xiu's previous plan was only to unilaterally recultivate himself and the palace, and he had also thought about refarming within the scope of Kaifeng Mansion, but considering that the resistance was too great, he had not thought about it in depth.
Although the important officials of Kaifeng Mansion today have brought themselves and Zhu Shaoye together, they only stop at not interfering in the trouble.
If Zhao Xiong can support the farming, it is indeed a good thing.
In fact, he deliberately pinched Zhao Xiong just now, just to show that things were a little difficult to do, and when Zhao Xiong proposed to enter Beijing as an official again, it would be easy to be perfunctory. It didn't work out, but it got a benefit.
Li Xiu said with a smile: "Now that my Nanzhen Fusi is short of manpower, Brother Zhao and I have a good relationship, I plan to let him serve as the general banner, what does Lord Zhao think?" ”
Zhao Xiong is naturally very willing, the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, it is not counted. Besides, with Li Xiu's means, his son follows him to do things, isn't it the same as playing in the future?
Zhao Xiong's wish was fulfilled, so he got up and said goodbye and left. This made Li Xiu a little puzzled, didn't he want to enter Beijing?
Zhao Xiong was sent away, and a string of officials came behind him, all of whom came with gifts to ask for a meeting.
These people began to visit Li Xiu the day after he came, but unfortunately they couldn't touch Li Xiu at home. Now that it's easy to catch the opportunity, it's natural to rush to stutter.
Since they plan to run Kaifeng as their base camp, although these people do not have a high official position, they still have to treat each other with courtesy.
Li Xiu patiently met with them one by one, trying his best to make them satisfied. In fact, there are not many people who ask to see each other, and most people just come to give gifts and ask for favors so that they can plan for the future.
A morning was spent in this kind of boring socializing. Fortunately, in Kaifeng City, there are not too many officials who are qualified to come to the door, and by noon, no one has asked to see them.
In the afternoon, Li Xiu took Wang Bing and went to visit his father-in-law Wang Wu. The Yang family is also going to go, but the road is a little far, so it's better to go again tomorrow morning.
South of the city, Wang's house.
Li Xiu is now in a prominent position, but Wang Wu's attitude towards him has not changed much. When he saw the two of them coming, he just smiled and patted Li Xiu's shoulder and said, "Let's have two drinks?" ”
Li Xiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Two glasses are not enough?" ”
Wang Wu laughed when he heard this, asked his subordinates to set up their seats, and ordered the kitchen to prepare dishes for wine. Looking at that posture, I really don't want to get drunk and go home.
Wang Bing's temperament is a little following him, so he can naturally drink. However, she knew how much Wang Wu had to drink, and she was mainly serving to help Li Xiu block some wine.
Wang Wu was so angry that he scolded: "My daughter's family is extroverted, I can see it!" ”
Wang Bingcai was not polite to him, and countered: "Daddy knows that his daughter's family is outgoing, what did he do before?" ”
Wang Wu's face turned red when he heard this, weren't these two people exactly what he intended to match? I had to pick up the big bowl with hatred, tilt my neck and take a big sip of wine.
Li Xiu watched the father and daughter arguing on the side, and he thought it was quite interesting.
Several people opened their minds, drank and chatted, and soon became a little drunk.
Li Xiu and Wang Bing were only slightly drunk against each other, but Wang Wu was so drunk that he was a mess.
Although he scolded and scolded, he was actually really happy in his heart. The more promising Li Xiu is, the better his relationship with Wang Bing, and the more he knows that he has the vision to pick such a son-in-law.
By the end, Wang Wu was already lying on the table, unconscious. just muttered in his mouth: "Child, mother, I can finally give you an explanation." ”
This tough guy also has his soft side in his heart.
Li Xiu and Wang Bing took matters into their own hands and helped him out of the room.
Sitting at the table in the room, Li Xiu sighed with emotion: "For so many years, it is not easy for your father to be alone."
After Wang Bing saw it, he continued: "Persuade him to find a steproom." ”
Wang Bing shook his head and said, "My father won't agree, he only has my mother in his heart." ”
When Li Xiu heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. Isn't that blaming yourself?
Wang Bing offered to stay at home and spend a few more days with his father. Li Xiu has no opinion on this, this request is not a matter. (To be continued.) )
