Chapter 458: Celebrating Father's Immortality (8)

This kind of coldness is a person who plays with the court, and wants to use a lonely and helpless poor woman to deal with himself, this kind of coldness is more because of a kind of helplessness.

Manly husbands, just take out their skills to fight with each other, just like dealing with Yin Keshu, Xiao Gan, and Yelu Dashi! Any deathmatch is more refreshing and neat than the situation in front of you! Why did he have to involve such a poor woman with the fetus in his womb? All kinds of thoughts came and went in Yang Ling's mind with a rapid degree, making his little white face become greener and greener.

Yang Zhi couldn't help but speak: "General, they can't easily kill them!" If there is a break, things will be even more difficult! Now you have to know where Yang Lingyun and the others are, if they have been sent to the capital by this guy! ”

Speaking of this, large beads of sweat oozed from Yang Zhi's head, you must know that now Yang Keshi is a thief, a "unwarranted" thief, Yang Ling finally stabilized his mind again, and smiled coldly: "He Guan handed over the token to me first, but he hasn't sent it there yet, and he doesn't get the biggest benefit in Lao Tzu's hands, how can they be willing to let go?" When the benefits are in hand, they will hand Yang Lingyun into the hands of the big turban, which is nothing more than this set! Okay, just leave them alone, talk to them, and see what tricks they can play. ”

Yang Ling's tone, at this moment, was unprecedentedly cold, as if it was a bit like: "Hmph, you can't kill anyone, so how did Brother Yang get poisoned?" I really think that Lao Tzu can't kill you, just fight a civil war, and it's no wonder that Lao Tzu will be in the back! ”

……

Where Bianliang was, Li Ruoshui, the household attendant, returned home, changed into civilian clothes, it was dark outside, and he had to hurry to the meeting, he didn't sit in the grand sedan chair. Instead, he sat in an inconspicuous double sedan chair and went out of the alley to Fanlou.

Fan Lou is the biggest place to seek pleasure, the left is the golden area where Bianliang singers gather, the song tower dances, the rows are lined up, the wine shop and the restaurant are densely packed. After dark, when shops are closed and the streets are empty, here it is the opposite, and it is even more lively than during the day.

In the easternmost end, there is a side street called Miaoyou Street, which is the most prosperous place of the whole night market, on this Miaoyou Street, there are concentrated the most magnificent, luxurious, and high-end restaurants in the capital, all of which are decorated magnificently. Splendid. Especially at night, each family lights up all kinds of lights like pearls, which is even more dreamlike, which makes people feel in it, and suddenly feel that they don't know what day it is, and they think that they have come to the fairy garden.

Li Ruoshui sat in the sedan chair, and couldn't help but raise the curtain to watch the prosperous imperial capital of singing and dancing. Among them, there are not a few that have been adopted, and the most direct effect is that the price of goods in the capital has been directly reduced by half. Many people suddenly feel much more relaxed, and there are obviously more people who come to such high-end places to consume.

When I was thinking about it, the sedan chair flickered into the courtyard of the 'Welcome Building', which is one of the high-end restaurants in the capital, not only with a sedan hall. On the ground floor, meals are also arranged for the palanquin guards......

As soon as Li Ruoshui got off the sedan chair, the attentive acquaintance sang a fat voice: "My lord, Wanfu, dare to ask if you have an appointment or a treat?" ”

Before he finished speaking, a shrewd butler-looking man came over and bowed his hand. "I have seen adults as small, I am Lord Li Gang's housekeeper, and my cheap name is Qin Feng......" Although he said it respectfully, he talked and behaved with a bookish atmosphere, and he looked like he was higher grade than his housekeeper.

"I heard this guy is a showman? actually made someone a housekeeper......" Ruoshui remembered some rumors, of course, it was not easy to confirm, so he nodded and said lightly: "Your master arrived early?" ”

"Just arrived, just arrived." Qin Feng replied with a smile while respectfully inviting Li Ruoshui to walk through the main building and go to the backyard.

Different from the noisy and lively front building, the backyard is for the nobles, and the small single courtyard is quiet and elegant, which is a good place to talk about something.

followed Qin Feng into the innermost courtyard, Qin Feng knocked on the door and whispered, "My lord, Li Shilang has arrived." ”

A hearty laugh came from inside, "Come in." As he spoke, the door opened, and he saw Li Gang wearing a stone blue and flowered satin shirt, with a dark green jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a neat and neat long beard standing there, like a natural nobleman of Yanju, which made people secretly applaud.

"I didn't expect Li Shilang to come so early." Li Gang leaned sideways and invited him in.

"Adults are feasting, how can a certain drag mud and water." Li Ruoshui smiled, entered this noble quiet room, entered the warm quiet room like spring, the two sat in line with the guest of honor, and the waiter made a pot of big red robes and brought a few exquisite refreshments up, this is the rule of the swallow drink in the capital, before the official banquet, put the refreshments for the guests to chew and appetize, and when they eat hot dishes later, the stomach will be much more comfortable.

The two of them drank tea and ate refreshments, while talking not too light gossip, until the banquet was set up, looking at the table full of delicacies, and then looking at the empty elegant room, Li Ruoshui smiled: "Didn't invite others?" ”

"Who else can I invite?" Li Gang raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Today, how many people are qualified for this?" ”

"Hehe......" Li Ruoshui laughed and said, "There are still a few." The two men looked at each other and smiled.

Li Gang teased: "Why don't you find two Northland Rouge and sing music and wine for us?" ”

"Forget it," Li Ruoshui thanked Bumin and said, "If you invite me to eat flower wine, you won't come here." ”

"That's right." Li Gang nodded and smiled: "Fan Lou is not much stronger than here. As he spoke, he touched a glass with Li Ruoshui as the master, and he had a lot of confusion in his heart, but he found it difficult to speak, so he had to drink the stuffy wine one after another.

Li Ruoshui didn't urge him, picked up a few light side dishes, and tasted them carefully, but it was a little strange, how to cook the dishes in this welcome building in the capital, but the taste was the same as chewing wax...... In fact, it's just that the problem is the dish, it's just that he can't eat it.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two officials who were proud of Song Chunfeng on the surface fell into deep distress at the moment.

After a long time, Li Ruoshui broke the silence and said softly: "Between us, it is no different if we don't say a lot of things, but saying them can always make my heart happy......"

Li Gang glanced at Li Ruoshui and said: "Sure enough, it's 'the father and mother of the one who gave birth to me, and the one who knows me is like water'." After a pause, he picked up his glass and said, "Something." It's not something I can control......"

Li Ruoshui smiled and said nothing, gently pinching the wine cup, but he was not in a hurry to clink glasses with him, "I know your difficulties!" ”

Li Ruoshui smiled, clinked glasses with him, and drank all the wine in the cup. He poured another cup with his backhand, raised it and saluted Li Gang and said, "Me too." ”

Li Gang's expression froze when he heard this, and after a while, he began to laugh, first laughing, and then laughing louder and louder, until the tears came out of the laughter, and the two white-bearded officials turned out to be a little childlike at this time, Li Ruoshui looked at him with a smile. The arm hung all the time, and when he finished laughing, he touched him and drank a drink.

"I'm convinced." Li Gang happily drank the wine in the cup and said: "If water, if water, if water, you can speak more bluntly." "It's not just about the art of speaking, it's about the strength of the heart.

"I just don't want to tell lies." Li Ruoshui said lightly: "Be kind and benevolent, good words and letters, how good it is." ”

"Oh well. Don't tell lies in front of the Ming people. Li Gang said: "Let's open the skylight and say something." ”

"Let's talk about it...... Li Ruoshui nodded and said, "I'll listen." ”

"......" Li Gang stroked his beard. A little helpless, he said, "Okay, how are you doing with the errand of the household department?" ”

"To tell you the truth......" Li Ruoshui seemed to ask him, and said to himself: "It's like a dog biting a hedgehog, there is nowhere to put it, during this time, Cai Dang and ****** seem to have reached an agreement, my strength is too small." Speechless. ”

"Hmm......" Li Gang nodded and said, "If you don't move in personnel, it's really hard to interfere." ”

"Yes...... Li Ruoshui said, "What about you?" ”

"Hehe......" Li Gang subconsciously wanted to prevaricate a few words, but thinking of Li Ruoshui's premise of 'good words and letters', he had to smile bitterly and said: "I also have a good comparison, 'Wang Xiaoer celebrates the New Year." One year is not as good as one year'. ”

"How?" Li Ruoshui asked softly, "What's the problem with your Privy Council?" ”

"Hmm......" Li Gang nodded, poured himself wine, and sighed: "I, the Privy Council, have completely become empty......" He was too depressed during this time, and finally found a chance to vomit it all......

Since Yang Keshi was overthrown by Qin Hui of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Li Gang temporarily took charge of the government, coupled with the three fires of the new officials, the full support of the officials, and his measures to rectify the military affairs and inventory the military accounts were vigorously implemented.

But Li Gang realized that it was not the case, "I am not the kind of person who is unwilling to be subordinated, I just hope to do something." Li Gang's face was slightly red, and he didn't know if it was because of drinking or because he was excited: "If I am like-minded, what if I am a pawn of Cai Jing and his party?" As he spoke, he slammed the cup on the table.

Li Ruoshui sighed with Li Gang, but he knew in his heart that in fact, Li Gang had a deep and majestic temperament, and after entering the Privy Council, he was even more considerable, and it would inevitably give people the impression of 'arrogance', he didn't think that this was Li Gang's temperament, thinking that he was in charge of the Privy Council, he prided himself on being a prime minister and had no eyes left, but this is still secondary, because if it is only for the sake of honoring and humbling qualifications, according to the demeanor of the scholars and doctors who do not hit the smiling faces in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Gang will not be difficult to move an inch.

The point is that both the prince's party and Cai Xiang's party are ********** Li Gang -- they are both staunch conservatives when it comes to dealing with military affairs.

Just like his own household department, to this day, these conservative parties still think that to deal with the financial crisis of the imperial court, it is necessary to start from throttling, and his reasons are also very tough, starting from the first emperor, the taxes of the imperial court are these, and at that time they could be perfunctory, but now there is no reason to do it, the reason why it can't be done is because there are too many places that have been corrupted and wasted, and the problem lies with the officials, not the people.

Therefore, they oppose any government-led reforms, believing that they will eventually turn into bad governments that bring disaster to the country and the people because they are out of touch with reality and undermined by corrupt officials.

Therefore, it is advocated that the administration should be lenient and simple, the officials should be restrained, and the people should not be disturbed......

This is obviously incompatible with Li Ruoshui's drastic reforms, in which even Geng Nanzhong's opposition to the book talks very earnestly about his views on Li Ruoshui's reform of the book.

Said: "At the beginning of the country, the money and grain were levied, the military department opened the name of the warehouse and the value of the number of stones, the small people paid according to the warehouse, the number of arrears is clear, the law is very convenient, the minister just went down to the place, when the service is still the same as the old, the historical view of the characters Yin Fu, fertile and fertile, a prosperous scene, after there is Jingnan Meng prefect, unusual, with Wang Anshi's average loss law, recruitment law, Baojia law of Jingnan, the court rent and taxes are all combined with the land, regardless of the household and other rules, only the number of fields, according to the land but the craftsmen because there is no land and exempt, As a result, the more land they had, the more they suffered, the more they had no clothes, and the peasants who toiled all year round suffered from it, so they followed suit, giving up their own land to avoid the imperial court taxes...... This is a scholar's misleading country and making the people of Li even worse. ”

"When the minister was appointed as the governor, the entire barren land in Jingnan was overlooked, and the people of Li were haggard. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of barren land have been left unpopulated, and the government has recruited people to cultivate crops for hundreds of miles around the week, but there is no one to respond, and this is the result of the implementation of the new law. ”

Later, the minister called for the suspension of the new law, and ordered the old rules to be reviewed, and the same taxes and grains were paid according to the households, and the taxes were also paid according to the mouth, and the people were happy to rehabilitate and farm, and the fugitives gradually resumed their careers...... A few ministers moved officials, and the followers did not notice, and reverted to the local department, and now its troubles have not ended, I don't know what the cheating is like, this can also be a precept. ”

"It is the right way to follow the law of the ancestors and rule the world by hanging the arch!"

Geng Nanzhong's recital, immediately caused a fierce response from the government and the opposition, many of them had opposed Li Ruoshui's reform method in the past, although Li Ruoshui's reform method was very subtle, this is also his smart place, otherwise he would not be able to turn over like Wang Anshi, even so, it was still subject to huge countermeasures, and Li Gang had implemented some reform policies before, but he couldn't figure out the reality, and now he didn't dare to oppose Li Gang's ministers, and he also understood the attitude of ****** and Cai Xiang......

So everyone was ruthless and impeached Li Ruoshui one after another, pushing Li Ruoshui to the forefront, although Li Ruoshui tried his best to defend himself, but the momentum was too small and he was completely drowned in the wave of crusade.

As a result, even some of the household functions and powers that were easily controlled were gradually separated from him, and they were about to be hollowed out, and the Privy Council in charge of Li Gang seemed to be far more complicated and tragic than himself...... (To be continued.) )
