Everyone talked about it, and stepped out of Donghua Gate under the guidance of people with a heart, and when they walked not far away, they saw that the front was very noisy, and dozens of people surrounded a sedan chair carried by four people and came majestically.

"Whose sedan chair is this?" Song Shixiang frowned and said, "If you make such a big movement, you will send the gongs and drums to cheer." ”

"Well, that's too much."

"Find out who it is, we can make a fuss."

"You don't have to." Fang Youdu suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid I can't do this article, that's Li Shaoqing." ”

"Li Shaoqing?" Song Shixiang frowned, and then relieved: "It turned out to be Li Fan." ”

Judging from this title, Song Shixiang is afraid that he hates Li Fan.

The faces of the rest of the imperial history are not too good-looking, Li Fan is their same year, and his character was quite bad when he was a teenager, but people are really smart, they are all the same year of Wanli forty-one years, and they are still walking and wandering in a car.

Li Fan is very smart, but also good at judging the situation, two years ago Wei Zhongxian has not really gained power when he put into the eunuch camp, in the battle with Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin pen poles, Li Fan is also a strong figure, up and down jumping very energetic, his article is also well written, in the imperial history soon became a well-known figure, is the eunuch party in the imperial history camp number one thug.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian gained power, and in terms of meritorious deeds, Li Fan was promoted several levels, and directly became the Taifu Siqing, although his status was far from that of important ministers such as Shilang, but he had already entered the ranks of Jingqing to the letter.

And what makes Song Shixiang and others shameless is that this guy doesn't care about the friendship of the same year at all, but he is perfunctory in face, and he refuses to really ask this person for help.

Li Fan was so powerful in front of him that the eyes of several imperial historians of the same year present were red.

Fang Youdu sighed: "Look at Mrs. Li, and then look at us, the same Jinshi of the same year, different life experiences, tens of millions of miles apart." ”

"What's there to envy about that." Song Shixiang said viciously: "It's nothing more than recognizing Father-in-law Wei as a godfather, but in the final analysis, he is just a grandchild." ”

Everyone was silent.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian also accepted his son, but like Mao Wenlong, he also had to engage in seniority, and the door of the Wei family was not so easy to enter, especially now Wei Zhongxian's status and status, how could ordinary people enter the eyes of his old man? Those who are attached early are godsons, and those who are later or have a lower status, that is, Li Fan is a godson.

Although it is a grandchild, he has a real relationship with Wei Zhongxian, and ordinary people definitely don't dare to provoke an existence like Li Fan, no wonder this person dares to make such a big show in the capital, and change the disgraced face of others who have long been impeached by the imperial history of the city.

Jingshi is an official, of course, it is not better than outside, there is no way to open the way, and there is no way to sound the gong to open the way, and you can drink twice when you meet the people or something, the city is full of officials, and it is too common for small officials to meet big officials, like when Song Shixiang went out in the morning, he had to give way at least five or six times all the way, and gave way to those officials whose official positions were bigger than himself, and then looked at Li Fan, naturally his eyes were red.

"This man is not the son of man." Fang Youdu also said angrily: "After Xianda, I went to see him with the friendship of the same year, and I also wanted to borrow some silver to repay the Beijing debt, but he said no, and when he left, he wrapped a red envelope of five yuan, and I threw it back to his porter as a door bag." ”

"It turns out that Brother Fang Nian also had this encounter." Song Shixiang hated: "Last year, I also went to borrow money from this person, but he directly refused. ”

"I asked him for help with a trivial matter, but he didn't give him the slightest affection."

All the imperial histories are hateful, Li Fan rose too fast, and he was flashy and jumping when he was a teenager, and there are really a lot of people who have offended him in the past year or so.

At this time, someone suddenly flashed from the side of the street, and a middle-aged man blocked the way of the imperial history with an unkind face, and there were several attendants with big round waists who looked like tigers following him.

"Lord Song." The middle-aged man said to Song Shixiang: "The three hundred taels that were sent to us should be repaid at the end of last year, and at least half of them must be repaid, or all the interest must be repaid, but your boss has no money, and it has been delayed for another half a year, and now you have to give us an explanation, right?" ”

"What a bold man!" Fang Youdu stepped forward and scolded: "Your Litong Money Village is becoming more and more bold, even the court officials dare to force debt collection on the street?" ”

"Hey." The middle-aged man smiled and said calmly: "Our money village is the business of His Royal Highness King Fu, who dares to rely on his old man's money in the whole world?" What about the officials of the imperial court, can they not pay their debts? ”

Song Shixiang's expression was very ugly, this money village was still introduced by Fang Youdu, saying that the interest rate was not high, and the debt was relatively relaxed, but there was this one in front of him, he was really ashamed to death.

Qingliu nobles, who were stopped on the street by a group of scoundrels to ask for debts, spread the word, and his imperial history must have no face to do it anymore.

Fang Youdu couldn't help but be bluffed, and stepped forward to persuade him to do evil, after all, Song Shixiang was an official, and the people of these money banks did not dare to be really presumptuous, and they agreed to repay half of the principal and interest within a month, and the rest could be repaid when Song Shixiang was released.

Seeing Song Shixiang's ugly expression, Fang Youdu comforted: "That generation is like this, from time to time they will come to the door to make a nuisance, and if they haven't been released for a long time, they will collect debts, this fact is common, and there are too many officials in Beijing who have such experience." ”

Others also stepped forward to convince them, but everyone thought of their own family, they were all for the imperial history for several years, for this kind of clear stream official position, of course, don't want to take too many benefits, unlike the six ministries with real power, just the seal knot and ice charcoal are enough to maintain a life, when the imperial history is fundamentally beyond the means, the hands are a little more generous, a few years of officials will be allowed to owe a lot of Beijing debts.

It is not easy to live in the capital, all kinds of prices are much more expensive than in the countryside, not to mention, everyone has a residential field in their hometown, the least to live in and eat without money, at most some exquisite things, such as paper, ink, pen, inkstone and antique utensils to play, or gold and silver jewelry, or turbans and boots need to spend money to buy. The rest of the daily necessities can be self-made, the so-called small peasant economy is mostly a closed economic circle, an ordinary peasant woman can complete the whole process from picking cotton to spinning clothes, or making shoes with their own soles, it can be said that in addition to buying salt and medicine and paying taxes need to use cash, the rest of the life is all year round without using money.

In Beijing, it is different, you have to buy rice and vegetables with cash, you have to pay a lot of money to buy a house to live, or you have to pay rent to rent, you need a lot of clothes and robes, you have to spend a lot of money to buy or make, headscarves, hats, boots and shoes, you have to sit in a sedan chair when you go out, whether it is a sedan chair driver you raise yourself or a sedan chair shift hired from a sedan chair shop, it is also a lot of expenses.

After a few years of official life, unless the original family is quite wealthy, otherwise they will more or less owe a lot of Beijing debts.

The so-called Beijing debt is the debt specially issued by the pawnshop of the money village to the officials, and the interest is not too high. Being an official is about the most profitable business in this world, and if you really want to make money, you can go out on your own, and several governors of the county will come down now, and they will not be greedy or fishy, and thousands or tens of thousands of silver will also be in hand.

These people who lend debts to Beijing do ask for debts every once in a while, and there is no other reason, it is to put some pressure on these officials who owe money, but this time they are a little too faceless to Song Shixiang, so that the same people present have a sense of sadness for the death of rabbits and foxes.

"Alas," Song Shixiang sighed heavily and said, "It seems that I can only seek to let go, so that you young brothers will laugh." ”

Song Zhenhan said: "How can this be, Zhou Yuxian is the first one in my generation to let go, but the people are Shao Zhan Shi is in charge of Nanjing Hanlin Academy, and when he returns to the dynasty, he can enter the six ministries as a waiter, if you want to release it, the most likely thing is to put a state capital Zhengyin, from the Qing Dynasty into the turbidity stream, although it is a pro-people official, it is very difficult to return to the dynasty as an official." ”

"So what?" The fire in Song Shixiang's heart came up one after another, he was not jealous of Zhou Yanru, although he was younger than himself and was the same year, but Zhou Yanru was an out-and-out champion, even Zhonghui Yuan and champion, and his knowledge was first-class, much stronger than his own people. Hate is to hate Li Fan, who was arrogant and proud just now, obviously far inferior to himself, but he is so wanton and arrogant, he is more proud than himself, people are more than people, and he can really anger people.

"It's really a last resort." Song Zhenhan groaned and said: "There is one thing, people have entrusted me, I think this matter is a bit dangerous, I was originally going to refuse, but if Brother Song Nian really needs silver taels, I think we can work together to do this, as long as we make a move, no matter whether it is successful or not, everyone has this number." ”

Song Zhenhan stretched out his hand and slapped it back and forth four times.

Pang Shanglian's eyes lit up and asked, "How much is two thousand gold?" ”

"Yes." Song Zhenhan said: "They want to spend money to buy ginseng and create a lot of momentum, this matter, let's take the lead to do it, it is the most suitable." ”

Song Shixiang was a little hesitant, two thousand taels is a lot, and the Beijing debt he owes is only a thousand taels in total, this silver is in hand, not only can he pay off the debt, but he can also live a few years very comfortably. However, if you offend someone who can't be offended for the sake of two thousand silver, the trouble will be great, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

"Who are you going to do?" Pang Shanglian also had the same opinion, and asked with a frown.

"Whoever he joins!" Fang Youdu said very energetically: "We were not involved in the last big storm, and we successfully stayed in Beijing, are we willing to go out for the sake of silver?" Anyway, I plan to stay in Beijing, transfer to the middle of the matter or go to the sixth department to mix, not to mix to the fifth grade, and directly let the fourth rank appear, the red robe upper body, I can't go out. I have taken this money, as long as it is not the father-in-law of Wei, I dare to do it to the emperor. ”

"What is the emperor?" Several of the imperial histories laughed.

To be honest, as long as the rhetoric is not too excessive, such as the famous wine color and wealth in the Wanli period, the current emperor picks a little fault and scolds, there is nothing at all. Although the Apocalypse has made it clear that he does not like the Yanguan several times, the emperor has not personally dealt with the Yanguan, but only eradicated some of the most troublesome through party fighting, such as Yang Dahong, but most of the imperial histories have not been touched, and the imperial histories are as bold as they are, except for Wei Zhongxian and a few of his core henchmen, these people still dare to bite, and the least afraid is to bite the emperor.

Even Emperor Chongzhen, who has a stern and resolute personality and a very heavy imperial majesty, has beheaded countless governors and generals in his hands, and has killed Shoufu among the auxiliary ministers, and killed the military department in the six departments, but he evaluates himself as Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou and others who are vain and straightforward, Chongzhen can only suppress his anger and degrade officials at most.

Fighting the emperor can be described as a fine tradition of the Ming Dynasty.
