Chapter Seventy-Five: Everyone Wants to Win Over the Emperor

Just four days after the New Year, Du Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came to the house of Li Di, the governor of political affairs, with two boxes of snacks in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, Li Di was splashing ink in the study, and after he wrote down the four capitals of the heavenly way reward for diligence with a big wolf hair, he was carefully looking at it, and the servant walked in and said: "Master, Du is here, I can't see it!" ”

Li Di nodded and said, "See, how can you not see it, please invite him to the study." ”

Du Xian came to the study, and Li Di smiled: "My in-laws are here, please sit down." ”

Li Di's daughter is married to Du Xian's son, so the two are in-laws, but Li Di always puts on a selfless appearance, so the two basically rarely interact.

Du Xian did not sit down, but walked to the bookcase to admire Li Di's calligraphy, and praised it again and again while reading: "Good, good calligraphy, my in-laws are worthy of being the champion, and the four capitals of heaven reward diligence are really amazing." ”

Li Di's calligraphy was indeed very famous at that time, although he was old-fashioned, but when he heard Du Xian praise his calligraphy, he was also very happy in his heart, and said humbly on the surface: "There, there, it's just unsatisfactory." ”

Du Xian said: "If this calligraphy of my in-laws is unsatisfactory, then I, Du someone, may only be worthy of you to take off your boots compared to you." ”

This is really a thousand wears, only sycophants can't wear it, people in the world, no matter who they are, love to listen to other people's beautiful words.

Li Di said: "In-laws, don't stand there." Come sit down and talk. ”

The two sat around a small stove in the study, Li Di lifted the boiling water on the small stove, made a pot of good Longjing tea, and then poured tea into their respective cups, picked up the teacup and gently signaled to Du Xian: "In-laws, I came in the cold and snow, I should have treated each other with wine, but you also know that I Li Retro is really not good Du Kang, so I replace the wine with tea and wish my in-laws a happy New Year." ”

Du Xian smiled and said: "My family, this is very good, there is an elegant style." Although it is a substitute for tea, it has fun in it. Didn't Bai Lotian write a little poem, green ant new roasted wine, red clay small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? Our old brothers are even more funny. ”

Li Di said: "What the in-laws said is very true. Come and taste what my tea tastes like. ”

The two of them slowly tasted the tea, and after the two cups of tea were down, Du Xian put down the teacup and leaned his head towards Li Di, pretending to be mysterious: "Brother Retro, I don't know if you heard the rumors in the palace a few days ago?" ”

Li Di was slightly stunned and said: "In-laws, you also know that I have been on vacation in recent days and have not been able to enter the palace, what rumors can I hear there." Besides, rumors are rumors after all, so you don't need to pay attention to them, you don't know! ”

Du Xian said: "Brother Retro, this rumor is extraordinary, involving our Long Live Lord." ”

Li Di was a great loyal minister, and when he heard this, he hurriedly widened his eyes and said, "My family, is there any rumor against the emperor, hurry up and listen to it." ”

Du Xian saw Li Di's anxious appearance, and was secretly proud in his heart, and deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said: "Is this really bad for Long Live." ”

Li Di said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, don't talk there." ”

Du Xian said: "Brother Retro just now you said that the rumors don't need to be taken seriously, why are you more anxious than anyone else at this time." ”

Li Di couldn't wait to give a few big slaps to Du Xian's shiny face, and said with a sinking face: "In-laws, the rumors about long live are too many days old, how can you ignore them." ”

Du Xian saw Li Dila's old face, and said, "Brother Retro, don't worry, listen to me tell you what happened slowly." As he spoke, he added fuel to the hearsay of the eunuchs and told Li Di again.

When Li Di heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this is the matter, what kind of big deal should I do, so he said: "In-laws, don't you think these rumors are purely groundless!" ”

Du Xianzhen said eloquently: "Brother Retro, how can this be groundless!" You said that the eldest princess of the ascending kingdom was not trapped by love and became a monk. ”

Li Di nodded.

Du Xianyou said: "You said, did you ever summon you to discuss the princess with Kou Zhun, Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo, Zhang Qi and others." ”

Li Di nodded and said, "What's the matter, this matter has passed." ”

Du Xian slammed the two slaps together, and said: "Oh, my retro brother, our Long Live Lord is a rare Ming Jun since ancient times, of course you can't take Ding Qian's kid like that, but Long Live is to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he is bitter in his heart, as the saying goes, he thinks of his relatives every festival, otherwise can his old man say that kind of thing to Liu Niangniang on New Year's Day, it can be seen that Long Live hates that Ding Qian." ”

Li Di sighed when he heard this: "Alas, what you said is also right, the one who is a father is willing to escape into the empty door with the pearl in his palm!" ”

Du Xian picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea and said, "Brother Retro, you are right to think so." ”

Li Di picked up the teapot and poured tea into the two teacups and said: "However, this is the private matter of the Banzai family, what can we do as courtiers." ”

Du Xian sneered: "Hehe." As the retro brother often says, the master has something, and the disciple is responsible for it, so long live something, of course, we have to be courtiers to share his worries and solve problems. ”

Li Di stood up, paced a few steps in the study, and said, "So, Brother Yuan, how do you say that we, as courtiers, should solve the problems for Banzai?" Could it be that we are looking for someone to slaughter Ding Qian's kid? ”

As soon as Du Xian heard that Li Di had already called himself a distant brother, he secretly rejoiced that this retro brother was in the trap, because in the Great Song Dynasty, officialdom generally only called official positions, and at home only called the relationship between relatives, if two people began to call themselves brothers, it meant that they were on the same front. Then he said: "Brother Retro, the murder and overstepping goods are all done by robbers, you and I are both people who read the books of sages, how can we do that bloody thing, this is too insulting!" ”

Li Di blushed and said: "Brother Yuan, I am just talking about it with righteous indignation, I don't know what your brother's plan is?" ”

Du Xian said triumphantly: "It's not a clever plan, but it's more than enough to rectify Ding Qian's kid who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

Li Di sat back on the stool, leaned forward and said, "Brother Yuan, retro is willing to smell its auspiciousness." ”

Du Xian said thoughtfully: "Brother Retro, what do you say is the most fatal blow to businessmen?" ”

Li Di lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Is this, Brother Yuanyuan, you also know that I have always been afraid of getting the smell of copper, and I have never dealt with businessmen, what is the most fatal blow to businessmen, I really don't know." ”

Du Xian smiled slyly and said: "Brother retro, you really deserve to be called retro, and you really don't look like you cannibalize the fireworks of the world." What do you think, what we are most afraid of as officials in the court is losing our official positions, because this is the foundation of our survival, and businessmen, they are afraid of bankruptcy and losing money, and money is their lifeline. ”

Li Di nodded approvingly and said, "Brother Yuan, what you said is extremely true, but what does this have to do with the rectification of Ding Qian's kid?" ”

Du Xian said: "Alas, my retro brother, why don't you open up after talking for so long, what is Ding Qian's identity, he is also a businessman, what kind of development is this kid doing in the freezer street now, we might as well find someone to check there, I don't believe that Ding Qian has made such a big move, there are no loopholes in finance?" ”

Li Di said disdainfully: "Ding Qian is a private business, what can I check financially." ”

Du Xian straightened his waist and said: "What's wrong with the private business, it is also developed on the land of our Great Song Dynasty, does he not have any tax evasion and donations evasion!" ”

Li Di pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, it's possible in this regard. ”

Du Xian laughed and said: "Haha, isn't this enough, as long as he is found to have evaded taxes and donations, he will be punished for bankruptcy, and he will not be able to find the temple gate when he cries." ”

Li Di said cunningly: "Well, although this says that Ding Qian's kid has been rectified, what good can it do for us!" ”

Du Xian slapped his right hand on his thigh twice and said, "Brother Retro, this benefit is great, listen to me tell you one by one." As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea: "First, let's rectify Ding Qian, it can be said that it is long live his old man's evil anger, so that this kid knows who is in the world; Second, after rectifying Ding Qian, you will easily suppress your political opponent Ding Wei, that insidious guy. Isn't that Ding Wei always unaccustomed to your brother, let him know this time, whether Lord Ma has three eyes; Three, let's come out and give Banzai angry, can Banzai not look at us differently, you don't need to say it, it's the minister of Humerus who is valued by Banzai, what about me, this old position for many years, should also be promoted up, otherwise not to mention anything else, it is the income of Fenglu every year, I don't know how much less silver it will be! ”

Li Di said with a smile: "Hehe, yes, this is really bustling for profit, I said that you are far away brother, why are you very concerned about this matter, it turns out that it is driven by your own interests." ”

Du Xian said with a blushing face when he heard this: "Of course, as the saying goes, no profit is not early, who in this world can not eat the fireworks of the world!" ”

Li Di said pretending to be high: "Although this is the case, if Ding Qian is rectified and bankrupt, what is the relationship with Ding Wei, and what impact does it have on Ding Wei." ”

Du Xian stiffened his neck and said: "This is deeply related, and the impact is great!" Retro brother, in addition to reading books at home all day long, writing and then going to the palace, you never like to inquire about some private affairs, where you know that Ding Wei and Ding Qian are tired! ”

As soon as Li Di heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Eh, could it be that there are really some unsightly things between these two surnamed Ding." ”
