Chapter 447: A Ridiculous Threat
This banquet of kings and ministers did not end until the end of the afternoon. At the banquet, Li You was very low-key, only playing a service role with He Yuanwai, arranging more arrangements than drinking and having fun, and did not make any poems that shocked the four seats.
First, he has no fame, he doesn't want to leave the impression of a simple poet in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and second, who will make a name for him among these ministers here? Writing good poems here is tantamount to throwing flattery to the blind, which is useless, so it's better to save some poetry resources!
Li You kept a low profile, but it made Xu Shizi's masterpieces a blockbuster. However, Master Li did not feel jealous at all, this kind of thing of making a limelight with poetry, he had already experienced the habit of numbness.
As everyone knows, when Xu Shizi was proud, he was also a little bored in his heart, Li You, a well-known little master in the poetry world, was silent here, and he only let him be in the limelight on purpose, what else can he be proud of in this kind of limelight?
Junchen got off Shugang, re-boarded the boat, returned along the Slender West Lake, and then got off the boat from the imperial pier to rest in the palace.
Jinghe Tianzi remembered the words of the prince of the country on the boat today, and said very thoughtfully to the courtiers who sent him to the main hall: "I have nothing to do today, and the ministers can rest in peace." It is enough to have an internal supervisor on duty, and do not wait for the hard work of the secretary. ”
After thanking the ministers with emotion, they dispersed. Li Taishou didn't have to guard the palace gate, so he went home early to rest.
From here, it can be seen that the majesty of the young son of heaven is far from enough, and it can be said that there is a long way to go.
What if he were to be the emperor who was majestic and ordered his courtiers to go to rest without attendants?
The ministers must have thanked them first, but those who should be on duty and those who should be called will not really be scattered like birds and beasts. As for the saint, he must be helpless, and it is better to smile bitterly, indicating that it is not that he is unkind, but that his subordinates are too loyal.
How can it be like now, Jing and Tianzi are a little considerate. The ministers tended the sheep. It's not that I don't know the rules, it's really subconscious. Everyone has not yet established the behavioral inertia of treating the Son of Heaven as a boss.
However, he said that Li You returned to the back office of the Tongzhi Branch Office and looked at the sun in the west, and even had the idea of going home early today.
I remembered that I was busy taking over the car, and I hadn't asked about the family for a long time. So Master Li sat in the front hall and called the chief housekeeper Li Si to inquire carefully about the recent family affairs.
Li Si took the booklet and reported the recent details to the master one by one. After only a quarter of an hour, Li You caught a glimpse of Mei Zhi, the bedmaid in the big room, probing her brain outside the threshold. [Literature] shouted: "You little girl, what are you doing sneakily! If you have something to say, come in and talk about it! ”
Mei Zhi originally wanted to secretly check if there were any outsiders first, but as soon as he was scolded by the master, he came up with courage and crossed the threshold. walked up to the old man and muttered, "Master, you are unreasonable, you should have gone to my young lady yesterday, but you went to the third room." ”
Li Si pricked up his ears and heard the argument about intercourse. Immediately slipped out quietly. So as not to be killed by the fish in the pond. As he walked, he secretly thought that this old man was only in his early twenties, and he had five or six wives and concubines, and he had lived so long. Haven't seen anything like this anywhere else.
Faced with Mei Zhi's questioning, Master Li said indifferently: "It's just an accident." Is it worth it for you to be indignant, so that others can see it, and think that I have committed a great sin, master. ”
Mei Zhi complained angrily: "Master, you set your own rules for turns, and you also said that everyone in the family must abide by the law, and if you set the rules, follow the rules." Otherwise, if everyone wants to disrupt the order according to their own ideas, won't there be endless strife and no peace at home? We all obediently listened to the master, but the result was that you broke the rules. ”
Li You sighed in his heart, he was really a dead-eyed little maidservant, and said domineeringly: "Don't you know that the rules are all used for you to obey, the lord as the head of the family is not included, and has the highest right to explain!" If you are not convinced, you will rebel! ”…,
Seeing that she was very angry, she teased: "Do you understand why I didn't have the heart to go to you yesterday?" It's because you haven't been willing to go into battle with your young lady recently, so it's very boring. ”
"Phew! Sir, you're not ashamed! Mei Zhi spit duplicitously, and whispered: "It's a big deal tonight as the master wishes, but I must let the young lady conceive as soon as possible." ”
When the two of them were bored and arguing, Menzi reported loudly outside the house: "Master! Jin Guozhang's family sent someone to find the master! ”
Seeing that there were outsiders, Mei Zhi stopped. It turned out that a steward of the Jin family came to him, and Li You recognized him. When the steward saw Li You, he hurriedly said, "Auntie! There are two uninvited guests in my house, and the lord has sent me to ask you to go quickly. ”
Li You was very surprised, Jin Million was so urgent? Looks like there's a problem. Then he asked, "Who is the uninvited guest?" ”
The steward replied: "It's Xu Gongzi of Nanjing and Master Qian of Jingshi." ”
Li You immediately guessed who these two people were, and they could make Jin Million embarrassed, and the ones he still knew were none other than those. Isn't Nanjing's Xu Gongzi the prince of Wei who only arrived yesterday? Master Qian, Master Qian, Bacheng is the uncle of Qian Guo who seems to be very close to Xu Shizi today?
Li You couldn't figure it out for a while, why did the two of them get together to find a golden million? However, since Jin Million came urgently to ask for help, it was not good to sit idly by, thinking about this, Li You Huoran got up and ordered: "Prepare the sedan car quickly!" ”
Riding in a sedan chair, Lord Li headed towards the golden house. When they arrived at the place after a quarter of an hour, they were led directly inward.
After passing through several moon gates, he came to a candlelit flower hall, and Li You saw at the door that there were three people sitting inside. The host is Jin Million, and the two guests are as he guessed, the short and thin middle-aged man is Uncle Qian Guo, and the other is the prince of Wei Guo, who is newly met today.
Seeing Li You coming in, Uncle Qian Guo sneered a few times, "Brother Jin, I said that you didn't squeak for a long time, it turned out that you asked for help." ”
Li You and Uncle Qian Guo glanced at each other and found a place to sit down.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng has two brothers, the eldest brother Qian Tai, who attacked the Marquis of Xinning, and the second brother Qian An, who is the person in front of him, but has no title, and is called Uncle Qian.
It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't want to give Qian An the title, but the ministers are very opposed. As a national relative, the Qian family has already sealed a hereditary marquis who is slightly over-specified, or is it for the sake of the face of the Empress Dowager Qian's political achievements, and the rest of the Qian family has no size merit, how can there be a reason for two titles? After making trouble a few times, in the end, Uncle Qian, who was hot-eyed as a prince, didn't even get a third-grade position.
This Uncle Qian, who has no title, is still an enemy with Li You. One of his sons, when he was studying in the Guozi Prison, made up the trick of the six prison students to ask the Son of Heaven to pro-government, and also instructed the officials to poison and kill the six people.
In the end, Li You found out the truth when he investigated the case, but fortunately, the Queen Mother relented and thought about her family affection, and in the name of inconclusive evidence, she was only sentenced to exile. Presumably, on the way to exile, he will not be able to endure great hardship.
Li You and Uncle Qian Guo have seen each other almost every day as attendants in the past few days, but they never talk to each other. And this is the first time to face each other in private. Master Li calmly lowered his head and drank tea, but still didn't speak first.
Uncle Qian Guo stared at Li You a few more times, remembered his main purpose, and made sure that Li You didn't speak, so he continued to say to Jin Million: "Brother Jin, you must think about it, you take this son-in-law as a backer, he is just a magistrate, can he manage the affairs of the capital?" Can you manage the affairs of the palace? ”
Li You heard Uncle Qian mention himself, and despised himself for being far away from the capital, so he interjected: "Uncle Guo, what is the matter, and I still need this official to go to the capital to solve it?" ”
"Not now, not necessarily in the future."
Syllable! Li You patted the case and shouted: "Uncle Guo, are you threatening this official?" ”…,
Li You, as a famous figure in the civil official group, is not something that Uncle Qian, a weak relative, can move. I could only hum and said, "Where do you dare to threaten you, Lord Li, I'm talking to Brother Jin, what are you talking about as a junior?" ”
Li You said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, what did Uncle Qian do when he found me, an old man?" I came late and didn't hear it, can I say it again? ”
Qian Jia pretended to say: "I heard that Brother Jin paid 50,000 yuan to my Qian family as atonement money, but my brother has it, but I don't, what is the reason?" You can't favor one over the other. ”
Qian An's elder brother is naturally Xinninghou Qian Tai. Li You had heard that the eldest princess of Guide made a circle between him Li You and the Queen Mother, but the Empress Dowager Qian was rich and wealthy, and her descendants were all emperors, so she didn't need to use Gang Yan Wo Ben as a family business, so 50,000 yuan of gold million was given to Xinninghou.
Listening to Qian An's tone, it seems that Xin Ninghou didn't give him a penny, and he was very unconvinced by this, so he wanted to find a million dollars and ask for a copy of his own...
Lord Li was angry, this person is really a complete villain, no wonder he is not welcomed, and there are countless people who oppose him if he wants to be knighted. is indeed an insatiable and shameless person, no wonder your son was able to do such a brain-dead case at the beginning, and he deserved the queen mother to alienate you!
If you have the ability, you should go to the brother of the Marquis of Xinning to settle accounts, or find the Queen Mother to reason!
Jin Million smiled helplessly at his son-in-law a few times, and gave a big gift and gave it away, and it was annoying enough to meet such a shameless and somewhat identious person.
When Li Youzheng was thinking about how to phrase it more powerfully, Uncle Qian Guo began to talk to Jin Million again: "Don't forget that your daughter is still in the palace, and during the draft, you spent money to buy off Wu Guangen's help, it seems that Guide Chitose also spoke?" But don't take it too seriously, it's a one-shot deal, and if you want to be safe and long-lasting, you have to rely on something else. In the future, Concubine Xian is in the palace, and she can't ask for a place to come to me..."
Everyone here can hear the threat. The very straightforward explanation is that if you give me benefits, I won't harm your daughter, otherwise I can't say for sure.
If there is no relationship with the eldest princess of Guide, Li You will have to weigh a few times in the face of this threat, he can be a thief for a thousand days, but he can't prevent thieves for a thousand days.
However, Jin Million is the main subordinate of the eldest princess of Guide who plotted the imperial salt, and Concubine Jin Xian is a nail planted in the palace by the eldest princess. In this context, Uncle Qian's threat is ridiculous. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
