Chapter 235: Sweat rains down on a cold night

It is said that Li You has asked for Qian Huangshang, so he is very respectful, and he immediately sees Master Qian on the sedan chair. Looking at the sedan chair in the distance, he suddenly remembered that there was a big case on Qian Huangshang, and once the Zhejiang Haitang stone case happened, if he was implicated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Master Li thought for a moment, he and Qian Huangshang were not in-laws, second, they were not old friends, and third, they had no common crimes. It's just a few social exchanges, this is too common, even if the Qian Huangshang case occurs, even the ten clans should not be able to implicate themselves.

According to Li You's observation, no matter how this Qianhuang commodity store is, it is still relatively solid and indurated, and he is not a person with empty words and white teeth. Since he agreed to help intercede, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's not difficult to reinstate himself, just use him to ask for a favor in front of his cousin.

Li You patted the soil on his body and turned around to leave the gate of the Horse Mansion. But he saw the doorman come to Li You's side and whispered: "The return lord Chitose has spoken, if Li Sheren comes to visit the Horse Mansion, please ask me to stay."

Li You didn't think about it, refused to be retained by the doorman, shook his head and left.

He accepted a thousand taels of silver from the eldest princess of Guide, and gave her 1,608 psalms, which can be regarded as money and goods that do not owe each other. As for the reinstatement, if the rich emperor goes to the joint, he doesn't need to ask His Royal Highness Chitose, so why do you still grovel to stay here?

It is best to break off the relationship so you are your eldest princess and I am the book of my vote li you made up her mind. It's not that Li You doesn't give face, it's that His Royal Highness Chitose has ruthlessly broken his heart these few days.

After being forced to ** that night, he originally realized that he had this intimate relationship, and in the future, he could cheat a few mouthfuls of soft rice and take advantage of a few small advantages, such as begging for a rank and honor. However, he encountered the first few blows, first after the vexatious picking quarrels and provoking troubles at the banquet, and then instigating the Queen Mother to suspend him.

His Royal Highness Chitose made him feel that he couldn't grasp it, and the lessons of the past had not passed for a few days, and he could not repeat the mistakes of the past. Besides, it is not worth it to live very closely with the eldest princess, and to provoke any gossip in life and politics.

Back at the apartment, it was already dark, Li You had dinner casually and went into the inner room. The maidservant Xiaozhu also came in and raised her hand to take the fire and light the lamp.

Inadvertently, Master Li saw the candle flame reflecting the folds and glaze of Xiaozhu's delicate nails, but it touched a certain heart of his heart. There seems to be a five-finger mark on his buttocks, and now the time is still short, and it is estimated that it has not been eliminated, which is a hidden danger of breaking the thread.

Xiaozhu turned his head and saw the old man in a daze at him, and called out in a coquettish voice: "Master? Master? ”

Master Li woke up, and while beckoning, "Xiaozhu come here", he lifted his coat and was about to take off several layers of pants inside and out.

The little maid was fascinated by the lust of her master's movements, kicked back two steps, covered her chest and said in surprise: "What is the master going to do..."

Master Li turned his back to Xiaozhu, held his pants in one hand, pointed to expose half of his buttocks with the other, and said angrily: "I've said it countless times, don't think about crooked things at a young age!" Let's see if the scar here is still there? ”

Xiaozhu was full of disappointment, picked up the fire candle slowly, approached the back of the master, looked down and said, "There are indeed a few traces." ”

Li You made up his mind and said: "You, use your fingers, grab a few times here, cover up the old traces indiscriminately, don't be afraid of hurting the master and me." ”

Oh?! The little maid's eyes widened in surprise, what kind of fetish is this, master? I heard my brother say that some weirdos in the capital like to be tied with whips, sticks, punches, punches and kicks, is the old man also infected? Could it be that she is a very fierce woman in the master's heart? Aggrieved and aggrieved: "The slave family can't do it, so the master will find someone else." ”

"What's wrong with this, it's really useless, if you can find someone else, you can still be used?" Master Li urged. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, and if you destroy the evidence, you can sleep peacefully and not worry about being "slandered".

Xiaozhu reluctantly stretched out a few thin fingers and scratched the flesh of the old man's buttocks, not to mention the scars, not even a red mark came out.

The physical traces did not appear, but the chemical reaction was a little slight, and Li You actually found that his little brother was about to move.

When I was thinking about whether to ask Xiaozhu to get a knife and make a few cuts on his buttocks, I heard Zhang San shouting outside: "Master! There are guests visiting. ”

Li You is very strange, the night in the capital is cold these days, and there are few people who go out at night, who has the strength to run over? I fastened my pants and went out of the house and asked, "Who's visiting?" ”

Zhang San replied: "It looks like a nobleman, and he just said that he asked the master to greet him." ”

Li You walked through the front hall and saw two men standing outside the door, the one in front of him seemed to be the master, wearing a dark red cloak, his head covered with a hood, and his face could not be seen clearly in the night light; The other should be an attendant, standing with a lamp in one hand and a suitcase in the other.

When he got closer, the man looked up and said to Li You: "I heard that Li She people have good news, and they have brought good wine and food to visit by moon." ”

Today's moonlight is pretty good... Li You glanced at the familiar face in front of him a few times, suddenly shocked, gasped a few times and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

If this person is not the eldest princess of Guide, who is it? The entourage next to him is not a middle-aged female official, who is Wang Yannu?

In any case, I never thought that it really made Li You's soul tremble a few times in fright. This Chitose Highness is so bold, and when there are few pedestrians, he goes out at night, which can be called shocking.

Where to go? What do you do with him? The small temple can't accommodate the big Buddha. Master Li subconsciously thought, don't have any accidents, let yourself be affected and suffer, the private interview of Weifu is not so fun in the TV series.

He immediately persuaded the uninvited guest bitterly, "Why did Your Highness put yourself in danger at the expense of ten thousand dollars?" Please also return home quickly, the official is willing to escort the front drive. ”

Guide Chitose tightened his cloak, looked left and right, and said: "What kind of dangerous place, Li Sheren is this Longtan Tiger's Den?" Don't let me in? ”

You're so fed... Li You was afraid of blocking the eldest princess at the door, alarming the neighbors and passers-by, and seeing that the other party refused to leave, he had to invite Guide Chitose and Wang Yannu into the hall and persuade them again.

In the alleys on the left, most of the residents are Beijing officials like Li You, and if they are still entangled at the door, it is difficult to guarantee that they do not know the discovery of the eldest princess Feng Yan of Guide.

Zhang San and Han Zong burned the brazier, Xiaozhu served tea, and was sent away by Li You. Only he, Chitose, and Wang Yannu were left in the hall.

The room was a little warmer, and the eldest princess of Guide took off her cloak and hood, revealing a narrow sleeved python pattern red troll, but on her head was a black gauze winged crown, full of male dress, or the kind of royal relatives.

Very bewitching and handsome, Li You's eyes were dizzy, and then he was speechless. Your Highness, do you want to keep a low profile? Fortunately, she put a cloak on the outside to cover it tightly, otherwise it would have been too eye-catching for A, B, C and D all the way.

Guide Chitose seemed to know what Li You was thinking, "You are too worried, I didn't come alone, the sedan chair man and attendants were waiting outside the alley." Of course, another implication of the eldest princess is that the attendants only know that she entered this alley, and do not know where she went.

He sat down on the upper seat again, looked around and said, "Li Sheren is really poor. ”

Poverty is poverty, and whoever compares you is poor. The frightened Li You was not in the mood to chat with her, so he asked directly: "Your Highness came at night, what do you have to say?" ”

"Bring wine and food to congratulate Li Sheren on his reinstatement."

Although he didn't want to talk to him, when it came to his official position, Li You couldn't help but say: "I haven't heard of it before." ”

"At the family banquet in the palace, the queen mother entertained her relatives and was very happy. A cousin who made gold bricks in Suzhou said a few words and resumed your errand. Li Sheren is really exquisite, I really admire it. ”

Master Qian is really neat, he hasn't seen him for a few hours, and he has done it... Li You praised it in his heart when he heard this, and gave a five-star praise. But he couldn't believe it on his face: "I saw Uncle Qian by chance today, and I mentioned a few words, but I didn't want Uncle Qian to mention it like this." ”

The eldest princess of Guide stared at Li You and said, "Then have you ever blamed me for not mentioning you?" ”

"People are light and don't dare to hope." Li You replied concisely, but showed a trace of resentment.

"What do you really want in life?" The eldest princess of Guide changed her words, "Power? Money? Beauty? Fame? ”

Li You felt that everything he said was wrong, and it was even more unreliable to discuss the outlook on life and values with the eldest princess, so he asked rhetorically: "What does Your Highness want?" ”

The eldest princess smiled slightly: "I want you to be a person..."

Li You panicked for a moment, as if he was not comfortable with such a straightforward and explicit confession. But I heard her continue: "Along with your position." ”

Speaking of which, the errand of dividing the book is still coveted.

Guide Chitose suddenly raised his voice, "Most of the officials are greedy for power. Now you have a great time, still blind and ignorant? ”

Without waiting for Li You to react, she said to herself: "Back then, the celebrant supervisor was blazing, and the weight of his authority was called the internal minister, have Li Sheren ever heard of it?" ”

Of course Li You has heard of it, and he has heard it too much. Anyone who knows a little bit about the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know the power of the celebrant eunuch. But what does that have to do with him? The head can be broken and the blood can flow, and he will not harm himself into the palace.

"What do you think of the abolition of the celebrant and the celebrant?" Guide Chitose didn't know why he was admitted to the school from Li You.

Li You thought about it, this Chitose is a person in the palace, and emotionally he will not have a deep hatred with the inner prison like the outer court, so he replied with an attitude of not offending people: "The rise of the celebrant eunuch back then was just that the Son of Heaven needed these by his side. ”

Chitose praised, "That's a good point. There is always a need for such people around the Son of Heaven. Far like the former Han Dynasty, he set up 600 stone Shangshutai in the inner court, opened the atmosphere of humble officials, and finally suppressed the foreign dynasty and handled state affairs. As close as this dynasty, there is a five-grade cabinet first, which receives the work of the inner court and the outer court, and then there is a celebrant supervisor, and receives the effect of the cabinet of close servants. All kinds of causes and effects are both internal and external. Master Li is a humble position, as if he was a former sage, and now he is recruiting talents around him, and it is the right time to make a difference! ”

This is incitement, this is agitation, this is incitement!

The words of the eldest princess of Guide are not just hints, they are simply naked and clear - as long as you are willing to sincerely belong and assist the Son of Heaven with the right to divide votes, it is not impossible to become the so-called "inner minister" by the side of the Son of Heaven in the future! There are precedents in all dynasties, and a lot of successful experiences are written in the history books, it is easy to follow the cat and the tiger, what is there to hesitate about?

Hearing this made Li Da's mouth dry and almost out of shape, is there a chance to become the Ming Dynasty version of Shangshu Ling? The civil version of the celebrant?

"You're a talent." Guide Chitose added a fire and said: "It's a pity that I don't have a background, and I can't be of great use in the foreign court, don't you hear that the good birds choose the wood and rest?" ”

There is another sentence that adds fuel to the fire: "With the relationship between you and me, how can I harm you?" Can't the people of Li She believe me? ”

If it was so intimate, Li You stabilized his mind and politely refused: "Thank you Chitose for your advice, but it is difficult for this official to be a big responsibility." ”

"You deserve it. It is naturally best to use internal supervision in the inner court, but it is difficult to achieve it with attention from China and abroad. There are very few people who use Wenchen, and your surname and background are the most suitable. If you are of great use to the Son of Heaven, how is it different from the work of the dragon? My Ming Dynasty Wenchen can't rebel, and the Son of Heaven can reverse it at any time, can't you see this clearly? ”

I have to say that Guide's words are very true, and Li You was almost moved. couldn't help but confide in a few words, "Since ancient times, the companion of the king is like a tiger, and seeing the fate of the internal supervisor of this dynasty, this official does not dare to imagine it." ”

The eldest princess of Guide smiled: "Wei Zhongxian, Liu Jin, Wang Zhen and others can you refer to?" But there are still Wang Yue, Xu Zhi, Fan Heng, Qin Chang, etc., all of whom are loyal and honest for a while! There are more elegant such as Xiao Jing, prudent as Chen Kuan, loyal as Wending, honest as Jin An, Geng Jie as Xing'an, knowing people as Jin Ying, holding as Huai'en, brave as Zhang Yong, and righteous as Wang Cheng'en! There is also Zhang Hong's self-cultivation, Tian Yi's selflessness and publicty, and Chen Hong's sage as the criterion! ”

Li Youyun Mountain Fog Cover, who are these names? It seems to be the big leaders of various eunuchs in this dynasty? I have so many excellent fathers-in-law? Why haven't most of them heard of it?

Dizzy, Li You couldn't help but fantasize that he was living in the cabinet with high spirits, and the heroism of pointing out the country under the quill pen.

Suddenly, he shuddered, and remembered the things he couldn't understand when he first took office in the chapters... I immediately returned to reality, as if I was not that material with my own level of knowledge.

It is not easy to govern the country, but letting yourself mess around is a disaster for the country and the people. It's acceptable to do a little evil, but it's a little scary to be pointed out by thousands of people to cause trouble in the world.

Or is it more comfortable to be a petty bureaucrat without responsibilities ... In the end, Li You smiled bitterly and said: "Chitose is kind, this official does not know the current affairs, and he is not sensitive." ”

Having said so much, saying so thoroughly, is it still the result... The eldest princess was extremely disappointed by this reply, pursed her lips tightly, and sat for a long time. His face gradually turned to sadness, and his eyes were hazy in the candlelight.

She sighed leisurely and said, "I brought some palace food to congratulate Li Sheren on his reinstatement, and I almost forgot it." ”

Wang Yannu, a female official who had almost no sense of existence, immediately put out the food box. Given by Chitose, even if Li You was not thirsty or hungry, he poured a glass of wine symbolically, nodded to the eldest princess, and opened his mouth to drink it all.

"Wait!" The eldest princess of Guide shouted softly, stood up and walked in front of Li You, stretched out her hand to carefully rub Li You's face, her eyes seemed to be fixed, and she wanted to see Li You's face carefully.

Li You's body stiffened, and it was this ambiguous action again... Guide Chitose frowned, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly raised his other hand and smashed Li You's wine glass to the ground.

Li You is inexplicable, what does His Royal Highness Chitose mean? You don't have to be so to vent your frustrations. It's too gaffe.

"This is poisoned wine prepared, and if you drink it, you will die." The eldest princess said lightly, "But I don't want you to die." ”

On this cold night in early winter, Lord Li sweated like rain.
