Chapter 193: Idle Things

Seeing Mu Yunyao come in, Li Meng's mood was a lot more relaxed, and he asked with a smile:

"You must be lonely with me alone, and those two new girls happen to be your playmates, so you need to be closer and closer."

Hearing Li Meng's words, Mu Yunyao suddenly felt a burst of deflatedness, she was so nervous, Li Meng didn't take those two women to heart at all, but although Li Meng didn't care, Mu Yunyao knew how to prevent the slightest problem, and he always wanted to nip these things in the bud.

At that moment, he replied with a smile:

"I'm from the north, and the two people who came from the south are not in tune with each other, and these days people have been collecting pond newspapers and the like in the south, but they have seen something related to that woman."

As he spoke, he took those papers and put them on the coffee table beside Li Meng, after so many years, Li Meng's ability to read ancient characters has improved a lot, he himself thinks it's nothing, if this is placed outside, it can already be called Nengwen and Wu.

The gossip of the literati in the Ming Dynasty was quite intense, and many historical truths were altered beyond recognition by these gossip literati, but they could also see some real things through these proclamations.

This time it was a note from a southerner, saying that Liu Ru had lived with Chen Zilong for a short period of time, and later broke up because of their incompatible personalities. As for the other note, Gu Hengbo once made a private agreement with someone for life, but he reneged on this alliance of life and death, and the scholar jumped into the river and died because of this incident.

If Li Meng pays more attention, he can see that these "gossip tabloids" are handwritten, which are not written by ordinary people, but are the handwriting of the county lord.

After Li Meng finished reading it, he smiled dumbly, and asked Mu Yunyao, who was looking forward to it, and said:

"How old are those two girls?"

Unexpectedly, Li Meng actually asked this question, Mu Yunyao was dumbfounded for a while, and then guessed and replied:

"They must all be fifteen or sixteen years old, younger or older than me."

"That's right, what kind of children are they, they can know something, even if they have done something wrong, they can forgive."

As he spoke, he touched Mu Yunyao's hair with his hand, completely with a spoiled child's expression, seeing Li Meng like this, Mu Yunyao's heart suddenly leaked, and he wanted to say something, but he felt that he had nothing to say, and he was about to leave with a pout.

At this time, Li Meng saw something in several Tang newspapers from the south, which were actually taken by Mu Yunyao, and couldn't help frowning and asking:

"In the past few days, I have read the documents in various places, and it is said that when the head of the court is Wen Tiren greedy for ink and forms a party, this attack is suddenly so powerful, could it be that there are any changes in the court?"

If Li Meng is still the garrison of the capital, the replacement of the first assistant in the DPRK and the Central Committee naturally has nothing to do with him, but now he is a general of one side, and there are only 100 military attachés with this title in the world, and the change of the political situation in the DPRK and China must always keep up in time, for example, after the title of general was added last time, according to the guidance of the old eunuch.

The military department, the ceremonial supervisor, the cabinet and the relevant yamen of the Beijing division all sent silver to the past, which can be regarded as a kind of meeting gift, and the governor of Shandong, the patrol press, and the inspection of each yamen are also handled.

Mu Yunyao heard Li Meng say this, and hurriedly walked a few steps to him, holding the proclamation and watching it carefully, Li Meng waited for the girl to give an answer, but noticed that Mu Yunyao's face was a little flushed, looking very cute and cute, Li Meng was a little fascinated.

He didn't know that the girl's recent focus was on collecting negative news about Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru is two daughters, but there was a lot of work behind her in the analysis of the government.

However, the reaction was also fast, because Wen Tiren has been in the position of the first assistant for more than six years, and many contradictions are known to everyone in the world, looking at who wrote the article to attack, he can quickly figure out the context, Mu Yunyao cleared his throat and said:

"Wen Tiren in the impression of today's saint is not to form a party, when the saint is in the palace, looking at the eunuch party in the court, the Zhejiang party, the Chu party, and the Donglin party are already afraid, Wen Tiren is known as not forming a party, this is a big credit, but Wen Tiren is a native of Zhejiang, naturally there is some prejudice against Donglin. For the sake of the official position in the DPRK and China, the Donglin Party tried its best every year to bring down Wen Tiren. ”

Mu Yunyao flipped through a few pages in that stack of documents, but pulled out a piece of paper, which was also an article attacked by a person from Nanjing, this person claimed to be the world's famous, famous genius Qian Qianyi, Mu Yunyao picked this out but had her own intentions, Qian Qianyi is said to have always been interested in Liu Ru and openly pursued, which is a recognized rhyme in the Jiangnan literary circle.

This matter was in a stack of articles that Mu Yunyao rushed over and handed to Li Meng, Li Meng didn't care at all, and if he brought it up again this time, it obviously had to arouse the impression, but the effect was still no, Li Meng just nodded "oh" when he saw this article, and said with a smile:

"I've heard of Qian Qianyi, and he said he was a great talent."

Seeing that there was no effect, Mu Yunyao continued to hang her head, but still explained:

"Back then, Qian Qianyi was driven out of the court by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru in partnership, and the resentment between the two sides was very deep, and Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren gradually had contradictions in the past two years, Qian Qianyi must have seen this, so he participated in the activities of Donglin to pour Wen."

The matter of "the party fighting for the country" is really embodied in Li Meng's eyes, there are the Eastern Jurchen eyeing the tiger, and there are the rebels and the people crisscrossing the Central Plains, which can be used as the ruling class, the people who are the basis of the rule, all the time are attacking each other's private morality and trivial matters, fighting endlessly for this power, the above is so chaotic, how can the following work together, the Ming Dynasty fell in the hands of the barbarians, although it is pitiful, but it may not be without hate.

After listening to the girl, Li Meng felt a little dizzy, but he still grasped a key point, pondered there, and still said:

"Someone went to Beijing to send some silver to Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, but don't say that we sent it, it will be good afterwards."

Gifts, this gift list is often also the evidence of judging factions and strain, Jingshi gives gifts to nobles, especially in this kind of fighting, it is not only a good opportunity to bet, but also the most risky time, the side that does not keep the power will take advantage of this gift to find trouble. Therefore, there is also a safe way among the Jingshi, which is to find a store, which will take the initiative to prove the giver of the gift to the party receiving the gift after placing the bet accurately.

Where did Li Meng know so much about the Flower Flower Dao in the past, but since he became a general, there were immediately people who understood this method to teach it.

Mu Yunyao is also a teenage girl, but she is so valued by everyone in the Jiaozhou camp system, and thinks that she is a character who counts in the courtyard, just because she is also a counselor, and many of these things such as gift-giving and communication relations also need her to take ideas.

At this time, after listening to Li Meng's arrangement, Mu Yunyao really opened his mouth and asked:

"What about those literati in Jiangnan?"

Li Meng shook his head with a smile, thinking that those people in Jiangnan, Eunuch Liu had already given tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he would take a favor by himself.

Speaking of this, there was nothing to say, Mu Yunyao was already a little embarrassed because of today's events, and he didn't want to stay here longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Just about to go out, a famous woman came in and said:

"Eldest lady, let's go through the side door, Chen Liuye has been waiting for half an hour outside."

Although Mu Yunyao said that she was very arrogant and didn't care much about the difference between men and women, she was already regarded as Li Meng's daughter, and the following generals were all cautious and did not dare to go beyond it.

Chen Liu is already the garrison of one side at the moment, and it is also the garrison of the Jiaozhou battalion, although everyone in the system knows that the real elite are all under the hands of Li Meng, Ma Gang, and Zhao Neng, and the soldiers on Chen Liu's side are mainly guards, blacksmith shops, salt works and warehouses everywhere.

But in the eyes of outsiders, this Chen Liuzi is the commander of the old battalion of soldiers and horses, the cronies of his cronies, of course, Chen Liuzi himself knows the details, and he can be sent out from Li Meng's side as a personal guard to be a garrison, this lost and regained position, as well as this ups and downs process, makes Chen Liuzi deeply grateful.

Although he was ruthless in the past, he had a somewhat impetuous temperament, but now he is much calmer, which can be regarded as honed by Li Meng's side.

"Master Li, the Zheng family sent someone to send a message over, saying that the artillery we want to buy has already been bought, saying that it will be delivered in five days, and it is also said that their old shopkeeper has prepared a big gift for the adult, but I didn't say what it was."

"Oh?"

Today's Li Meng rarely feels excited about things, but this artillery is one of them, in his conception, after having artillery, his army's combat effectiveness can really be said to have improved the level, and it can be called a strong army.

Listening to the meaning of this Zheng family's treasure, I don't know what the gift is other than the cannon, but Li Meng has no hope at all, all the Zheng family can think of is nothing more than gold, silver, beauty and the like, not what he wants at all.

However, this news made Li Meng unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and got up and said to Chen Liu:

"Let's go, let's go to the barracks outside the city together, rotate for many days, the sons must have different spirits."

Someone behind him led the horse, in this kind of windy and sunny weather, Li Meng likes this feeling of walking, turning a street, Li Meng looked at the street corner, felt that something was wrong, turned back and asked the guard:

"When did you get a fruit stall here?"

Before the words fell, someone on the side of the street burst out and rushed over......
