Chapter 764: Old Friends
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin did not stay in Jiujiang for a long time, and soon set off to Yueyang to go to Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake to play, anyway, the Chen family is finished, and Zhang Shan and Lu Xiaoming are in charge of it, and the two are very relieved about this. Bayi Middle School? Wen? (1) (8) ?. (8) 8 (1) 1 (1)
What is particularly important is that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are really unwilling to get too involved in the Chen family's case, there are too many filths in it, the two of them can be said to be out of sight and out of mind, as long as they can bring Master Chen and others to justice, it is enough to return the people to a peaceful and peaceful life.
Otherwise, if Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin really want to investigate, I am afraid that the entire Jiangxi officialdom will be implicated, this is not a scene that the two want to see, and they have no energy to care about those messy things.
For the people, the fall of the Chen family made them happy, which was simply a very happy thing, so that their lives could finally get back on track, at least a few years of stable life to live, and they were extremely grateful to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin in their hearts.
After the Chen family's case was concluded, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin jointly wrote to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, praising Zhang Shan and Lu Xiaoming who handled the case, and recommending Lu Xiaoming to be promoted to the imperial history of the Zuo Tuo Du of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Although the imperial history and the prefect of Zuo Lidu are all officials of the four grades, but the imperial history of Zuo Yudu is one of the four officials, and the imperial court is an out-and-out official, so it can be described as a big leap in Lu Xiaoming's career.
Emperor Tianqi naturally approved Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's letter, and the Donglin party members in power in the court had nothing to say, after all, they wanted to give Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin this face.
Moreover, the two did not push the Chu Party and the Qi Party but the officials of the Zhejiang Party, considering the great impact of the Chen family's case, it can be regarded as selfless, and Zhang Shan, who presided over the trial, also benefited a lot from the case, so there is no need for them to prevent Lu Xiaoming's promotion.
Anyway, the court is full of people from the Donglin Party, and Lu Xiaoming's only Zuo Du Yushi can't make any waves, and he will definitely be obediently holding his tail and being a man.
This morning, Dongting Lake.
A winter snow made the 800-mile Dongting white, and on the silent lake, a painting boat leisurely cruised on the lake, and melodious music and laughter came from it.
In the cabin, two large braziers with red coals made the room unusually warm, and several young scribes sat around the wine table and drank merrily, and the atmosphere seemed warm and harmonious.
Among these scribes, Li Hongyu was naturally sitting in the seat, with Zhao Xin on Li Hongyu's left and a round-faced young man on his right.
The round-faced young man is Wang Hongyun, a new person in Changsha Mansion, who participated in the township test in Huguang with Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, because Wang Hongyun's future brother-in-law Xu Tao was killed, and he led the students of Changsha Mansion to quarrel with the students of Xiangyang Mansion.
Later, Li Hongyu showed his skills to solve the case of Xu Tao's murder, and no one could have imagined that the person who murdered Xu Tao was not Li Hongyi of Xiangyang Mansion, who had a conflict with him, but Han Tai, a student of Changsha Mansion whose scientific examination results were second only to Fang Yun.
After this incident, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and others became inseparable friends with Wang Hongyun and others, and they can be regarded as not knowing each other.
The rest of the young scribes in the cabin were also students who were in the same department as Li Hongyu that year, although Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are now important ministers of the imperial court, but there is a friendship between the two sides in the same year, so Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin naturally have to inform Wang Hongyun when they come to Yueyang this time.
Knowing that Li Hongyu was coming to Yueyang, Wang Hongyun was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed over from Changsha, and gathered several local students of the same year in Yueyang to go boating on the lake with Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, and drink and talk.
Li Hongyu has always attached importance to the weaving of interpersonal networks, don't look at his high position in the temple, if he wants to really control the situation, he must have a strong enough force in the local area to support the center.
Therefore, Li Hongyu took good care of the students and people of the same department and the township examination and the general examination, and became the foundation of his local interpersonal network.
Of course, Li Hongyu didn't just make up the interpersonal network, he also guided the people on the interpersonal network to act, and secretly arranged for the future.
Today, more than half of the local suppliers of Daming's overseas trade are Li Hongyu's fellow students and promoters, and more and more people are investing in Shanghai, Xiaoliuqiu and Nanyang, and Li Hongyu is not afraid that they will not be able to get returns.
"Boxian came back during the Chinese New Year last year, and we were still talking about when Brother Li would be promoted to the third young master, but now in the blink of an eye, Brother Li has become the young master of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that the position of the Taishi is just around the corner."
While talking and laughing, Wang Hongyun remembered something, and couldn't help but smile and said to Li Hongyu, the Boxian in his mouth naturally referred to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun is now a well-known rising star of the Donglin Party, and is the superintendent of the Shanxi Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although he entered the Donglin Party through Yang Lian, but he is a moderate faction of the Donglin Party, so he later got closer to Sun Chengzong and Li Zongyan and other moderates of the Donglin Party.
In fact, Fang Yun wanted to join the Chu Party back then, but he lost the bet with Li Hongyu, but he didn't expect the Ming army to be defeated in Salhu, so he joined the Donglin Party, and was Li Hongyu's most trusted person in the officialdom except for Zhao Xin.
"Yes, Brother Li will definitely become the fourth in-service master of our Ming Dynasty." Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help laughing and laughing, you must know that in the two or three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only Zhang Juzheng, a Wenchen, has become a master alive, which can be described as infinitely honored.
"Your brothers have won the award, but they have just done some things that have been exhausted, and it is all the emperor's grace to have today's glory."
Hearing this, Li Hongyu arched his hand obliquely upward, and said with a humble face, but there was a hint of pride between the corners of his eyebrows, after all, the position of Taishi is extremely noble in the officialdom of Daming, and if nothing else, he will definitely be named Taishi.
"Brother Li, you are now weak, I don't know what word to take?" Everyone suddenly laughed, and then Wang Hongyun remembered something and couldn't help asking.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't expect to be able to step into the official career at all, I just wanted to accept the family's industry and live a leisurely life, and now everything is like in a dream, so I take the word 'dream life'."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied methodically, the so-called "dream life" naturally means that he has been reborn here.
"Dream Born! Good words, good words! ”
Wang Hongyuan and others immediately clapped their hands and applauded when they heard this, and they have to say that the word "Mengsheng" is very similar to Li Hongyu's experience, who would have thought that someone could become the young master of the Ming Dynasty at the age of twenty, just like Nan Ke's dream.
"My lord, Yueyang Tower has arrived." At this moment, an escort entered the cabin and reported to Li Hongyu in a deep voice.
"Let's go, let's see." When Li Hongyu heard this, he got up with a smile, first intimately draped Zhao Xin in a big coat, and then picked up his own big coat and put it on.
After seeing the scene in front of them, Wang Hongyun and the others couldn't help but show a strange look on their faces, and secretly remembered the situation in front of them.
Obviously, Li Hongyu's move made Wang Hongyun and others misunderstand the relationship between him and Zhao Xin, and they all thought that he had a habit of breaking his sleeves, otherwise why not bring his new wife with him on this trip but with Zhao Xin.
They knew that the woman dressed as a man was Li Hongyu's wife who had married a woman, and this kind of situation where both husband and wife were university scholars could be described as unheard of.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Hongyun secretly ordered someone to call back the Qingqi people who had found the Qing people who warmed the beds for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, so as not to embarrass the two.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin naturally noticed the strange eyes of Wang Hongyun and others, but since the two are already husband and wife, they naturally don't care about other people's eyes, and they will naturally understand when they reveal their identities in the future.
After all, Zhao Xin can't dress up as a man for the rest of her life, and one day she will change back into a red dress and officially become the head of the Li Mansion.
Yueyang Tower is located on the city wall of the west gate of Yuezhou City, overlooking Dongting downward, looking at Jun Mountain in front, it has the reputation of "Dongting Tianxia Water, Yueyang Tianxia Tower" since ancient times, and Wuchang Yellow Crane Tower, Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion and called "the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River".
Li Hongyu has already visited Tengwang Pavilion and Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, so it is natural to see Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake in Yuezhou, and when he goes back to Wuchang City after the year, he will climb the Yellow Crane Tower again, the reason why he says "again" is because he has already climbed the Yellow Crane Tower when he took the township test.
Speaking of Yueyang Tower, we have to mention the popular "Story of Yueyang Tower" by Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty, which made Yueyang Tower famous all over the world.
Speaking of which, the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are inseparable from the famous poems, the Yellow Crane Tower is Li Bai's "Yellow Crane Tower to Meng Haoran's Guangling", and the Tengwang Pavilion is Wang Bo's "Tengwang Pavilion Preface".
For this reason, the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River have always been the places where literati and ink writers chanted poems, leaving countless ink treasures of their predecessors, and the cultural atmosphere is very strong.
Yueyang Tower in the snow has a hazy beauty, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and others stood on the bow of the boat and talked about the past of Yueyang Tower with a smile, in addition to poetry, Yueyang Tower naturally has many touching legends.
Soon, the painting boat docked, Li Hongyu and his party entered Yuezhou City, climbed the Yueyang Tower standing on the city wall, because there were few visitors to Yueyang Tower on a snowy day, but also saved a lot of trouble.
Just when Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and others climbed high on the top floor of Yueyang Tower and looked down at the lake and Jun Mountain in the snowflakes in the distance, the prefect of Yuezhou Mansion in civilian clothes hurriedly came to visit.
Although Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin came secretly this time and did not want to disturb the place, Wang Hongyun and others still informed the prefect of Yuezhou Mansion for the safety of the two, after all, the prefect is the parent official of Yuezhou Mansion, and the few students in Yuezhou who are in the same department as Li Hongyu should also have a good relationship with him.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin knew this, so they naturally wanted to give this favor to those fellow students of Yuezhou Mansion, and gave some encouragement to the prefect of Yuezhou Mansion, and then took them to visit Yueyang Tower together.
When leaving Yueyang Tower, the Yuezhou prefect implored Li Hongyu to leave the ink treasure, considering that the Yueyang Tower was going to be rebuilt again, so Li Hongyu wrote the article "Rebuild Yueyang Tower", which was engraved on the stone tablet by the Yuezhou prefect to pass it on, and really patted Li Hongyu a big fart.
