Everyone was a little stunned.

No one expected that Li Chuan would ask Bian Yujing in a lesson-telling tone, which was too incomprehensible.

You're a scholar, and you don't even understand the pity of the jade.

Even Wan Youqing was a little stunned, it was really a bit of a surprise.

Bian Yujing's face turned red, and he said unconvinced: "The state affairs are not quiet, it is the eunuch party chaos, and the emperor cannot appoint meritocracy." ”

Li Chuan asked: "Then who do you say is virtuous, is this surname fake?" ”

Bian Yujing was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Mao Xiang's face was not good-looking, and he said coldly: "Those who are gentle and benevolent in the court are all traitors, incapable of harming the country, the emperor appoints such treacherous villains, and the world is not chaotic, such as Yuan Gong and other pillars of the country, but they are victimized by villains." ”

"It's useless to be a scholar, and right and wrong all depend on one mouth."

Li Chuan unceremoniously reprimanded: "The major affairs of the country are all tools for inviting fame and fortune in your mouths, you know better than anyone what is going on, those who form a party for personal gain, and those who are friends with me are all heretics and can be degraded, and the major affairs of the country are like this woman on the Qinhuai River in your eyes, and you are all wrong about the beauty and ugliness." The literati advocated the unity of knowledge and action, but when it came to the mouths of you hypocrites, the taste changed, you tell me, what is the unity of knowledge and action? ”

He was furious, thinking about when he was reprimanded like this by one of the four sons.

Not only was he reprimanded, but he was also a businessman who couldn't be relied on.

As one of the four dignified sons, how not to be angry.

Mao Xiang said coldly: "Those who know are reasonable, and those who do practice also!" ”

Li Chuan said: "Have you achieved the unity of knowledge and action?" ”

Mao Xiang replied proudly: "There is treachery and evil above the temple, and the talents below are not accepted by the court, how to practice." ”

Li Chuan was quite speechless, and had a new understanding of the shamelessness of these readers, and said with emotion: "To be able to use shamelessness as a grandiose excuse, this is the character of the fourth son." If you can't do it yourself, you will find an excuse to find someone to take the blame, don't you hear that Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin and had a private meeting with Fan Yuzhi, according to what you say, is it true that Prince Dan can't bear to kill Fan Yuzhi, and Jing Ke will not assassinate the King of Qin? ”

Mao Xiang's face changed, and he instantly turned iron-blue, speechless.

Bian Yujing was also slightly stunned, revealing a touch of deep thought.

"Let's go!"

Li Chuan got up and didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Wan Youqing was stunned, and hurriedly pushed away the woman next to him and followed.

I sighed secretly in my heart, this time my thoughts were in vain.

I never thought that looking for flowers and asking willows would give birth to so many twists and turns.

However, Wan Youqing gradually realized that this Young Master Li seemed to be very concerned about state affairs, and all kinds of signs showed that these behaviors of Young Master Li that were detrimental to the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty did not have a good impression of the readers.

It seems that he has to be careful, if he wants to continue to get Western goods, he can't arouse this master's bad feelings.

came to the Qinhuai River, but there was no encounter, but Li Chuan was disgusted with the atmosphere of this era.

So in the next few days, he didn't go to the Qinhuai River again, but found an excuse to get rid of Wan Youqing's house, and took his family to visit several scenic spots in Jinling, and finally melted away the depression in his chest.

didn't want to return to Zhuangzi, but unexpectedly found that Zhao Yuan, the eunuch, was here.

"Why did Father-in-law Zhao come to Lijiazhuang in person?"

Li Chuan was very surprised, this big eunuch had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he would take the initiative to come to Lijiazhuang to find him, which could be regarded as the first time that the heavens and the earth were split, and he didn't have to think about it, he knew that this big eunuch must have something important.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "The emperor wants to see you, so our family came in person." Fortunately, we didn't let our family stay for a long time, otherwise if you don't come back, our family will have to go to Jinling to find you in person. I heard that Wan Youqing invited you to go to the Qinhuai River for recreation, the scenery of the Qinhuai River is infinite, presumably Lord Li must have a great harvest, right? ”

"There's a fart catch!"

Li Chuan is familiar with this eunuch, and now he has the emperor's support, and he is not afraid of this eunuch, so he speaks much more casually, shaking his head and sighing: "I wanted to go out to relax, but not only did I not have a good mood, but I encountered some troubles." Not to mention, Gonggong Zhao came to Lijiazhuang in person, I guess there must be something to explain, why did the emperor summon me to Beijing? ”

Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "There is news from the palace, the emperor is very pleased with your loyalty to the monarch and the country, and intends to give you a chance, the prince sent me a message to ask you what you are capable of, and by the way, let you be mentally prepared." ”

"The emperor wants to be my official?"

Li Chuan was a little surprised, maybe he would be happy when he first came.

But now, he has long lost interest in being an official.

The more he learned about the Ming bureaucrats, the less he wanted to step into that quagmire.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "Exactly, the emperor favors you, but it makes our family envious!" ”

Li Chuan said with a smile: "This is thanks to Zhao Gong's care, otherwise how can the emperor know who I am as a businessman." ”

Zhao Yuan was greatly used, so he felt that his vision was still good, and he said good things to Li Chuan at the beginning, also because Li Chuan was his big benefactor, and he wanted to give some benefits to buy people's hearts, but unexpectedly, Li Chuan was directly summoned into the capital.

At that time, Eunuch Zhao regretted wanting to die.

Li Chuan fell into the eyes of the emperor and was summoned to the capital, and there was nothing for him after that.

Fortunately, Li Chuan had no hope, although he did not give him filial piety again, but when the second batch of goods was tendered, he gave him a Western goods that were not planned for bidding, so that he could make a fortune, and Eunuch Zhao felt that Li Chuan was interesting and worthy of making friends.

Li Chuan asked, "What is the situation in the north?" ”

Zhao Yuan sighed and said: "A month ago, Jiannu successively captured Changping and Liangxiang, and I heard that Shunyi was also breached, and the Tartar soldiers were looting around the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division was already under martial law, and I don't know when these damn Tartars will be able to retreat." ”

Li Chuan asked again, "Where is the imperial army?" ”

Zhao Yuan said: "The emperor has ordered Lu Dushi to return to Beijing. ”

Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Xiangsheng is still very capable of fighting, he is one of the few cadres of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he brought the most elite border army, and he will deal with the Tartars, the Manchus are just here to rob, and it should not take long to retreat.

Otherwise, the Tartar soldiers did not leave, and they went north to the Beijing Division, which was really dangerous and unpredictable.

"Does the emperor have any other edicts?"

Li Chuan asked again, since he was going to be summoned to Beijing, how could he not want silver.

There is no way to hide the bidding, he has already said it in the excerpt.

Zhao Yuan said: "There are no other orders, you should enter Beijing as soon as possible." ”

Li Chuan thought about it for a moment and quickly understood.

Jingshi is under martial law, even if there is silver, it can't be transported in, maybe it may be robbed by the Tartars, if Emperor Chongzhen lets him release the silver into Beijing at this time, it will definitely be a brain into the water.

Although he didn't want to enter Beijing at this time, the order of Emperor Lao Tzu was too big to delay, so he had to take a group of family members to set off, charter a big boat, and go to the capital by water.
