Chapter 25: The People of the Prosperous World

As soon as he heard that it was Wei Xuan's beloved son who was bullying here, Li Xi immediately keenly grasped something.

Wei Qian is the first person under the crown prince Li Hong.

Of course, according to common sense, just by virtue of the children's affairs, even if the son is, it is not so easy to bring down his Lao Tzu, not to mention that although this Wei Qian's son is bullying, he has not done evil to the last step in the end, and second, Wei Fei's official residence is too Changqing, that is the head of Jiuqing, and his status is extraordinary, just by virtue of his son's intention to molest women from good families, it is impossible to shake the status of such a big man in the DPRK and China.

However, if you don't want to shake his position, you just want to use this incident to leave him with the impression that Emperor Xuanzong is "not good at teaching his son, his son is still like this, what can he do"? Isn't it much easier this way?

And once he left such a bad impression in front of Emperor Xuanzong, not to mention anything else, at least the possibility of him taking the stage to worship the prime minister would have to be sharply reduced by fifty percent, right?

Wei Qian is the right-hand man of the crown prince Li Hong, and even in recent years, he has been praised by the government and the opposition as the future ruler of the world, which should have made Emperor Xuanzong, an emperor with a strong desire for power, jealous, Li Xi secretly figured out that maybe the position of the new prime minister has lasted for so many days and has been unresolved, not necessarily because Wei Qian is too vocal in the court, and Emperor Xuanzong is not very willing to use him, but he can't find a suitable excuse to suppress him.

Therefore, this matter can just provide Emperor Xuanzong with an excellent excuse.

Originally, with Princess Yuzhen's words there, Li Xi was already ready to take care of this matter, but now with such a clause, there is no reason to stand idly by now.

hit Wei Qian and made it difficult for him to worship the prime minister, but in fact, it was a disguised blow to the crown prince Li Hong! Li Xi has always been extremely interested in dismantling his opponent's platform.

It's just that now this thing is going to be done, but it's not so easy.

At that moment, after Li Xi asked from the mouth of the man that the name of the bullying Wei family was Wei Min, he looked back at Geng Xin and Gao Sheng, who were sitting opposite each other at a table near the door.

Geng Xin put his head and face here, although he didn't come over to see the excitement, but his desire to join in the excitement had already been written on his face. And Gao Sheng usually has a bitter face, although he is also looking at this side, but from his face, there is no obvious tendency.

"This is a jealous guy with a fiery surname!" Li Xi thought secretly.

He left the crowd and slowly walked to the door, and when he saw him coming, Geng Xin and Gao Sheng stood up one after another.

Li Xi traveled, Geng Xin, the dogleg, and Gao Sheng, the big bodyguard, naturally had to follow him as usual, but Li Xi wanted to live a two-person world with Princess Yuzhen, so he and Yuzhen sat inside, and Gao Sheng and Geng Xin sat at the door.

"Childe, what do you command?" Geng Xin asked. When he saw that it was only Li Xi who came by himself, he turned his head to see that Princess Yuzhen was still sitting in place, and knew that he was not leaving, but that there must be other things to be assigned.

Li Xi stretched out his hand and patted Geng Xin's shoulder, and said: "You go out now, untie the carriage on the carriage, you ride a horse and go directly to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, I have it in your arms, and when I see Pei Yaoqing and Master Pei, I will tell you about the matter here, and say that Wei Min, the third son of Taichangqing Wei Xuanwei's family, is here to bully men and women...... Other words, you don't need to say more, go and come back quickly, remember? Don't go to the Yamen of Wannian County, go to Jingzhao Mansion. ”

The reason why I want to go to Jingzhao Mansion instead of Wannian County is that Li Xi is not familiar with Wannian County, and has nothing to do with it.

Moreover, the most critical point is that although Pei Yaoqing has little hope of worshipping the prime minister, as a minister, especially a minister like Pei Yaoqing, who has been in the prime minister for decades, it would be nonsense to say that he does not want to go on stage to worship the prime minister. If he wants to pay homage to the prime minister, then Wei Qian will be one of his most important opponents.

And right now, what Li Xi asked Gengxin to bring over is a powerful weapon that can hit Wei Qian in one fell swoop, thinking that Pei Yaoqing doesn't give himself face at all, and he can't help but give face to the position of prime minister anyway, right?

Therefore, Li Xi judged that as long as he heard that Wei Qian's son was making a fool of himself here, then he would come out of ten! Even if he doesn't come, he will definitely send his most capable men to deal with the matter!

And as soon as his people arrive, things will definitely be controlled immediately, and then, there is no need to say it himself, Pei Yaoqing has been an official for decades, how to fight political opponents without leaving a handle, he is definitely better than himself.

It's just that Li Xi naturally won't say these things clearly to Geng Xin, besides, there is a Gao Sheng around him at this time, and there are some things that make him see it too clearly, but it is not beautiful.

Li Xi's words made Geng Xin a little confused, it is said that this place is very close to the Yamen of Wannian County, but Li Xi didn't let him go, just let him go to Jingzhao Mansion, which is relatively far away, so he couldn't turn the corner.

However, as such a powerful dogleg by Li Xi's side, his biggest advantage is that no matter whether he understands it or not, as long as Li Xi tells it, then he will do it immediately.

So, after Li Xi's voice fell, he immediately nodded and agreed, picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his neck, and lowered a glass of wine, and then hugged his fist at Li Xi, "Son, don't worry, it's over to the villain!" Then he immediately got up and left.

At this time, only Li Xi and Gao Sheng were left next to the table, Li Xi turned his head to look at him, and saw that the look of surprise on his face had not faded so far, and when he saw Li Xi looking over, he couldn't help but look up at Li Xi, hesitated, and asked, "My lord, do you want to take care of this matter?" ”

Li Xi frowned when he heard this, and raised his hands behind his back to squint at him, "What?" Do you think it shouldn't be bothered? ”

"Uh......" There was an abrupt snort in his mouth, Gao Sheng's heart flipped back and forth a few times, and he felt that since he came to Li Xi's side, he had always been a wretched person, and it was hard to believe that he was actually meddling on the street now, and the other party was still a powerful figure.

So he asked tentatively: "You just said that the one who bullied men and women, but the son of Master Taichang Qingwei's family, you are not afraid of ......."

"Afraid?" Li Xi laughed when he heard this, "Of course I'm afraid!" But what if I do? As a dignified court official, you can't just see this kind of thing, right? ”

At this time, Li Xi caught a glimpse of Gao Sheng's somewhat moved face, so he smiled and said: "I know, you have always looked down on me, and you think that I relied on the relationship between the left and the right to get to the top, and I became an official, as a central official, I went down to the place, but I actually shrank my head and tail, without a trace of spirit, right?" ”

Gao Sheng is a straight surname, and any thoughts can be seen on his face, as soon as Li Xi said this, his face immediately became a little sneering, but he also heard that Li Xi must have something to say behind him, so he stared at him with good eyes.

Li Xi said: "But in my opinion, it's just a little personal honor and disgrace, I am an official of the imperial court, and I am an official to do things for the people and the imperial court, as long as things can be done, don't care if I am personally prestigious, I am an official, I am competent, and on the contrary, if I can't do what the court asks me to do, then even if I have great prestige, what's the use?" In the end, it's still a corpse vegetarian meal! ”

His words were really something Gao Sheng had never heard before, so when Li Xi's words fell, he was completely stunned. I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart at the moment: Is this Lord Li's way of being an official?

And at this time, Li Xi had already said again: "I'm not afraid that you will look down on me, and I don't need you to look down on me, in a few years, you will know why I became this deputy envoy of Jianghuai transfer, and now, you are my subordinate, you only need to obey my orders, and be worthy of the money you receive from me, it is enough." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xi looked at him quietly.

And Gao Shengke was so stunned that he almost didn't dare to look at him.

As Li Xi said, before, he really looked down on Li Xi from the bottom of his heart, firstly, he felt that Li Xi was young, had no fame, and had no background, so he suddenly became an important person, so this official has a bad background.

You must know that Gao Sheng hates this set the most. He had saved enough military merits, but he had not been promoted, because he refused to say flattering words to Shangguan and refused to give gifts, and later his father asked someone to help him give gifts and get him an official.

Although he couldn't stand his father's repeated urging, he finally decided to work under Li Xi's account, but once he thought in his heart that Li Xi's official son came like this, how could he look down on him?

And with such an understanding of Li Xi, he traveled with Li Xi a few times, and saw that Li Xi couldn't show a trace of the majesty of Shangguan in front of the magistrates below, and his impression of him became more and more serious. Even when Li Xi suddenly got the holy decree, the imperial court agreed to rebuild the Guangtong Canal, which made many captains of Jingzhao Mansion change their eyes on Li Xi one by one, but they only got a ridicule from him behind his back, "Sure enough, there are still people in the court who are good officials".

But today, all of this is suddenly overturned completely!

Li Xi did not flaunt how noble he was, nor did he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, he said very frankly that he was not willing to meddle in affairs, and he was also very afraid of the other party's origin, and he was unwilling to offend Taichangqing Wei Xuan, but since this matter was encountered by him, then, he must take care of it!

This responsibility and sincerity in the event of an incident was in sharp contrast to his lack of concern about personal honor and disgrace before, which made Li Xi's image in his mind suddenly taller.

It can be said that by chance, Li Xi skillfully took advantage of what was happening at the moment, and successfully established in the other party's heart that he was just a down-to-earth official, dedicated to the public, and did not care about personal honor and disgrace, but when he encountered social ugly phenomena, he did not hesitate to offend the officials above, and he had to resolutely fight against it.

Well, this should actually be regarded as a kind of domineering spirit.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva very excitedly, Gao Sheng, who was flushed, clenched his fists fiercely, his eyes ejaculated, and said, "My lord, you say, what should I do if I need to be humble?" ”

Li Xi waved his hand, looking unconcerned, "You don't need to do anything, you go and protect the eldest princess of Yuzhen, even if it is your great achievement!" ”

The more Li Xi looked like he didn't take him seriously, the more he felt a breath of rebellion in his chest, and endured it a few times at the moment, although he still agreed loudly, but when he looked at the lively crowd in the store again, his face was already a completely undisguised anger.

Seeing his expression clearly, Li Xi smiled and thought to himself, this expression may be the truest portrayal of his heart.

At that moment, he sent Gao Sheng to Yuzhen's side, Li Xi's heart was steady, he took a deep breath, walked towards the crowd, and when he walked to the periphery of the crowd, he had already shouted loudly: "Stop!" Who are you who dare to bully men and women so openly at the feet of the Son of Heaven, do you know the law of the country? ”

Li Xi shouted in his voice, not to mention, the scene was really suddenly quiet.

Then, the crowd turned their heads to look at him in a hula, Li Xi stepped forward, and the crowd hula-la-ladodge a passage, so Li Xi walked into the circle in a few steps, and just saw what was happening in front of the counter.

Two young men dressed in satin cotton clothes, at first glance, looked like a family member, and at this time they were pressing down a person who was less than thirty years old in the same grade with his fists and feet, and looking at the dress of the beaten person, he thought that he was the shopkeeper here.

At the same time, there were already several shopkeepers on the ground next to him who were beaten and vomited blood, two of them were lying there holding their stomachs and wailing, and one was slightly injured, but he was standing up and kneeling in a fancy dress with a bitter face.

Just because of Li Xi's shout, the movements on the scene seemed to be frozen.

Then, when Li Xi walked to the counter, the crowd exploded all at once.

"Look, I'll just say, we're at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the end, someone has to stand up and uphold justice, or what else are we called the Tang Dynasty?" It was a man's whispered muttering.

"I said this young man, you don't know the number of roads, don't meddle in your affairs and get into trouble!" This is a kind reminder from an old man.

Of course, some other voices are naturally inevitable - "There is a lot of excitement now, there are really people who are not afraid of death to take care of this matter, who are they, Wei Sangongzi, there are so many sons and brothers in Chang'an City, and people can also rank in the top three." Do you know, I've heard that this Third Prince Wei is a character who can directly talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes, and say, how can his gossip be easy to manage? ”

"Then you can't just let him bully men and women like this, right? Tell me that someone should have been in charge a long time ago, but ...... Although this little brother has an extraordinary bearing, he is so young, and he doesn't even bring a subordinate with him when he goes out, this identity, I'm afraid it's not high, I'm afraid that he will take care of this matter, not only can't manage it, but will also put himself in! Tell me, this Taichangqing boss is really, the kind of high-ranking official he is managed, everyone in the world can manage it, why don't you know how to discipline your son? ”

………… In the midst of these chaotic discussions, someone suddenly said loudly: "This brother said it well, no matter how powerful the Wei family is, don't you know that there is a national law above?" ”

As he spoke, a tall and burly man squeezed through the crowd and walked in.

This person is a head taller than Li Xi, with a bronze face, a mighty posture, and a short beard under his jaw that explodes like steel needles, and his eyes are fierce, looking like a white-fronted tiger suddenly bursting out of the deep mountains and old forests.

After squeezing into the crowd, he stood beside Li Xi and said loudly: "If I don't see such a thing, just do it, if I do, I have to take care of it!" Then he turned around again, glared angrily at the people who had gathered around, and angrily reprimanded: "You have always boasted about the characters at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but you are so timid and, as soon as you hear that your father is a big official, you don't dare to stretch out your head, but fortunately, you can watch the excitement on the side, but you are not as good as a ten-year-old brother, Lao Tzu!" There's a bird's buzz to look at! ”

No one paid attention to it just now, but when everyone heard it at this time, this guy had an authentic Henan Dao accent, and it sounded like it was from Caozhou, but although he was a foreigner, but he said these few words, but no one in Chang'an at the scene was embarrassed to refute, even if he was scolded, he had to bow his head with his eyebrows.

As the people of the Tang Dynasty, as the people of Chang'an City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, although they know more about the power and are more good at change, so they dare not risk offending Taichangqing Wei Qian to meddle in affairs, but now after all, it is the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous era, and as the people of the Tang Dynasty, they still have such a little bit of shame.

This person's voice fell, and the scene was silent, and everyone was ashamed of him. Then a few young men couldn't stand his excitement, and stood up on the spot, "Well, you are from Henan Province, Hugh has to talk nonsense, who said that there are no good men in Chang'an, wasn't that little brother the first to stand up just now!" We will also take care of this matter today! ”

Li Xi was a native of Shandong in his previous life and worked in Yanjing, so he spoke Shandong dialect and Yanjing dialect very neatly, and Sichuan, Henan, and Northeast dialects could also make do with seven or eight colors, so he could be called a language talent.

At this time, Li Xi naturally didn't have time to defend these things, so he just looked coldly at the noble prince standing not far from him, and said, "You are the third son of the Wei family, don't you see the excitement of the crowd?" Don't let your dog's leg let people go! ”
