After Zhu Youzhen wrote the holy decree, he handed him over to the eunuch and asked him to hand it over to the celebrant Wang Tiqian, and seal it for issuance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the court revealed a bit of weirdness, Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian had the same feeling of precariousness, after getting the holy decree, he did not dare to delay, after covering the jade seal, he filed the ceremonial supervisor and immediately sent it to Liaodong.

After Li Shuo visited a few colleagues, he returned to the mansion, and it was almost evening.

Li Shuo's mansion is very simple, not at all like the residence of an emperor's favored ministers, the whole mansion is a housekeeper and a maid who pours tea and water, and the diet on weekdays is prepared by Li Shuo's wife, as for the two sons, they are not at all like after the official eunuch, life is hard, if they are greedy, they can only go to their grandfather's house to enjoy some delicious desserts, but after a trip back, Li Shuo's reproach is inevitable.

Li Shuo was originally a native of Hejian Mansion, and after entering Beijing to catch the examination, he married the daughter of Zhang Yuanwai, who had considerable financial resources in Beijing, but Li Shuo was high in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was unwilling to accept the help of his wife's mother's family, so his residence was very simple, and Li Shuo's wife was virtuous and knowledgeable, and also read some books, although her husband has been depressed, but he never gave up, often encouraged him, and the two were also very affectionate.

After Li Shuo came back from the palace, his face was full of excitement, and after sitting down, he said happily: "Madam, you go and pack your bags and go to Shaanxi with me tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Li was a little puzzled, in the evening he had heard her husband say that the emperor might want to reuse him, since he reused, what kind of trip to Shaanxi?

"Master, what's the matter with going to Shaanxi?"

"The emperor has appointed me today as the servant of the Ministry of Officials and the governor of Shaanxi."

"The servant of the ministry, the governor of Shaanxi, you have no great merit, how can you serve it? What's more, you don't have any experience in governing a place, sir. Mrs. Li, who was a little calm-headed, spoke.

After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Li Shuo stood up, and said with a trace of worry on his face: "The emperor trusts him so much, even if he fights for Weichen's life, he doesn't dare to disappoint the emperor." Madam, don't worry, the husband has some plans, everything in the world, there is a law to follow, after going to Shaanxi, as long as Weichen remembers the sixteen words, he will not let the emperor down, act according to the law, convince people with virtue, be diligent and love the people, strictly govern the army, let the husband start from Shaanxi, assist the saint, and create a prosperous world. ”

Seeing that Li Shuo was so confident, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Then I will let Shouli and Shouxiao also clean up and follow us to Shaanxi." "Shouli and Shouxiao are Li Shuo's two sons. One is eight years old and the other is five.

"No, let the two of them stay in Jingshi and go to their father-in-law's house." Li Shuo waved his hand and refused.

The two children have grown up so big and have never left Mrs. Li's side, but now they want to stay in Jingshi, even Mrs. Li, who is sensible, does not agree.

"What about bringing two children?"

Li Shuo took two steps and explained: "I am the governor of Shaanxi, and I have jurisdiction over all the officials and soldiers in Shaanxi, and the emperor has given me such great power, I must also let the emperor rest assured, and leaving my two sons in Beijing can be regarded as lenient for the emperor." ”

"Master, don't you often tell me that today's saint is wise and decisive, and he is a wise man, how can you think about it too much?"

Li Shuo smiled and said: "Madam, you still don't understand, the ancient Mingjun, there have never been open-minded people, they never really believe in a person, and the current emperor is no exception, although this time is good for me, if one day my power is so big that he is a little jealous, kill me, and I will never be merciful, I go to Shaanxi, is to make a big move, leave the etiquette and filial piety, but also let the emperor understand, I care about the court and society, dare not have the slightest idea." ”

Mrs. Li remained silent after listening, he knew her husband's hardships, and he also knew that accompanying him was like accompanying a tiger, but his husband's ambition was here, and he could only support it.

At this time, the old housekeeper arrived in the house and said to Li Shuo: "Master, there are more than a dozen carriages outside, as well as hundreds of Jinyi guards, and the leader says that he is the commander of Jinyi Guards, Luo Yangxing, this is his worship." As he spoke, he handed the greeting note in his hand to Li Shuo.

After Li Shuo took it, he glanced at it and said, "What is the matter with the villain who is cultivating sex and fighting for power and profit coming to me?" ”

"Master, Commander Luo is also a celebrity around the emperor, don't be offensive in your words, otherwise you will annoy him, and you will inevitably say bad things about you around the emperor." Mrs. Li hurriedly said.

Li Shuo hates Luo Yangxing, this matter has been told to Mrs. Li more than once, Mrs. Li has also been routinely persuaded to him, as an official in the court, not to be bad with others, not to mention that Luo Yangxing is such a powerful minister, if you don't like it, stay away, and you can't embarrass your family.

"Madame doesn't know, this Luo Yang has a lot of deficiencies compared to Tian Ergeng, if it weren't for the emperor not being able to find a credible person, this Luo Yang didn't know when he would be able to serve as the commander of this Jinyi Guard, I'll go and see, what is Commander Luo looking for me?" After speaking, he followed the butler out of the room.

Outside the gate, Luo Yangxing was waiting anxiously.

Li Shuo greeted him with a smile and arched his hand: "Commander Luo is here, the humble house is shining, please come in." Although he didn't like it in his heart, Li Shuo didn't show it in the slightest.

Luo Yangxing also smiled and said: "Disturb Governor Li, and look at Haihan." ”

After finishing speaking, the two entered the mansion, and after walking a few steps, they arrived in the house, and after another politeness, the two sat down to talk about things.

"Commander Luo is busy with business, how can he have time to come to the cold house to talk?" Li Shuo said with a smile.

"Governor Li, the emperor has prepared a big gift for you."

"The emperor has never said anything to this official?"

Luo Yangxing smiled and said: "Governor Li is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he is extremely favored, how can the emperor let you go to Shaanxi empty-handed." This time, the emperor asked the lower officials to bring you 300,000 taels of silver, which has been used for other purposes. ”

"I see, the emperor's kindness is remembered by the official, and I don't know where the holy decree is, where the household documents are, and let the official check it."

Luo Yangxing's old face was red, a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say that this silver tael was his own embezzlement, otherwise it would definitely make Li Shuo look down on him, Luo Yangxing was a smart person, and he could see that the emperor valued Li Shuo very much, and he would definitely be in a high position in the future, so he couldn't look down on him at this time, and it was not good for his career, so he decided to panic.

"Lord Li doesn't know that this silver tael has not passed through the household department, so there is no official document, this is the emperor's private instructions, and there is no holy decree."

"It turned out to be from the inner library, where is the father-in-law in the palace? This official can't be rude. He said that he was going to stand up.

Luo Yangxing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Governor Li, this is not from the inner treasury. ”

After Li Shuo heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart, neither the household department nor the inner treasury, so where did this money come from.

"And where did the money come from?" Li Shuo asked.

"Governor Li doesn't know, when the lower officials went to raid the house, the emperor instructed me to leave a sum of silver not to post the account, and give it to Governor Li.

"This silver is dirty silver, the dirty silver in Cui Chengxiu's case, there is no holy decree, there is no official document, how can the official accept it." Li Shuocai didn't believe in Luo's nonsense.

Luo Yangxing was stunned for a moment after listening to Li Shuo's words, and came over to send silver taels, which Li Shuo didn't want to accept.

"This is all the emperor's heart, and Governor Li must not let it down."

Seeing that Luo Yangxing was a little anxious, Li Shuo also guessed that he was not far from ten, and said softly: "This is Commander Luo's greedy silver, can't he be on the stage?" ”

After listening to this, Luo Yangxing's old face turned red and said: "Governor Li, you are right, this is indeed the silver that I embezzled ink from Cui Chengxiu's case, and the emperor was extrajudicial and spared the life of the lower officials, so that I would hand over the silver to Governor Li, and I hope that Governor Li will take it as a civilian use." “

After listening to Luo Yangxing's truth, Li Shuo didn't like Luo Yangxing even more, but he said with a smile: "Commander Luo, do you understand that a gentleman loves money?" This official is going to Shaanxi, far away from the Beijing Division, and when there are some rumors in the court, I hope that Commander Luo can help me more. “

Li Shuo knows a truth, if he wants to become a figure like Zhang Juzheng, he must unite all the forces that can be united, this Luo Yang is in charge of military affairs, although he doesn't like it, but forming an alliance with it is of great benefit to himself.
