Someone dug a gold mine in Huashan, what does this have to do with Li Ang's imperial examination?

Ordinary people want to break their heads, and it is estimated that they can't connect these two things.

Li Ang also pondered for a long time, and vaguely had a thought, but he couldn't smooth out the two for a while.

Yang Nan seemed to say casually: "Due to the increasingly serious land annexation of the Tang Dynasty, the government military system is unsustainable, since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court has had to adopt the strategy of recruiting soldiers, and the military expenditure has increased from one or two million yuan a year to more than 10 million. ”

Li Ang knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, and roughly guessed what Yang Nan meant. In fact, Yang Nan didn't dare to say something, military spending increased several times, in fact, it was secondary, the key was that the emperor was getting tired of government, content with pleasure, and rewarded his subordinates excessively;

For example, the reward of the Yang family is so large that it is simply appalling. It is said that when Mrs. Qiu Guo repaired a garden, the reward for the workers alone was two million dollars, so how much did it cost her to repair the garden?

The emperor's tiredness and contentment with pleasure also led to another serious problem, that is, the intensification of partisan disputes in the imperial court, and the internal friction was very serious.

If at this time, someone reported to the emperor that Huashan had dug up a gold mine, then the emperor must be Longyan Dayue...... No, this matter still doesn't have much use value for me?

Even if he went to report the matter to a certain official of the DPRK and China, it would not prove his ability.

Besides, Huashan dug up a gold mine, Yang Nan heard such news, and it is likely that the princes of the court and the central government have also heard about it.

Yang Nan added at this time: "Huashan is the place where Emperor Xuanyuan will gather immortals, and it is also where the dragon veins of the Tang Dynasty are located. ”

Leon listened. I felt a thrill in my heart, and I suddenly felt a sense of surprise.

After leaving the Yang Mansion. Li Ang returned to Chongrenfang's mansion, where Gongsun Jingyu had been waiting for half a day. When he came back, he greeted him with great joy and said, "Big brother, I can look forward to you coming to Beijing!" ”

This guy was like changing his face, and after saying this sentence happily, he immediately complained with a bitter face: "Big brother, you are really true!" I won't give you a letter when I enter Beijing, so I'll pick you up. ”

Li Ang smiled: "Between our brothers, we don't need to see each other so much, what to pick up." Isn't that what you see? ”

"That's different, ...... anyway"

"Less nonsense, come to something real, you have a treat tonight."

"Hehe, do you need to say that? The younger brother has already asked people to go home and prepare the banquet. By the way, how do you live in a place like this? Quickly pack up and go back with my little brother. There is a vacant house in the younger brother's house, so you can live in the same courtyard with me, eldest brother. ”

Gongsun Jingyu hasn't changed at all, and he is still as affectionate as he is in Jiannan.

Leon stopped him and said, "Go to your house and stay." I don't feel comfortable, don't go! It's good to live here, you don't have to worry about this, this wine. Let's eat out and drink at your house, so can we still eat to our heart's content? ”

"Big Brother ......"

"You're talking nonsense again, aren't you. If you don't want to invite me, I'll invite you tonight. ”

Gongsun Jingyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Big brother." How can you please! I please, I please! ”

According to the regulations of the imperial court. The commodity trading in Chang'an City should be concentrated in the east and west cities, but in fact, other squares also have commercial activities;

For example, Chongrenfang is the most concentrated square in Chang'an City, such as mansions, inns, restaurants, and cash cabinets.

Li Ang and Gongsun Jingyu chose a private room on the third floor of the Zhuangyuan Building in the northeast area of Chongrenfang, overlooking the street view outside the square.

After the wine and food were served, the two chatted while eating, but Gongsun Jingyu still couldn't help but complain about Li Ang, and he didn't go to him immediately after entering Beijing.

Li Ang drank a little wine and said, "Brother Xian, I didn't go to you immediately, because I had a hard time. Your father is a servant of the Ministry of Justice, and if nothing else, it will not be a problem for you to enter the office with grace; But big brother is different, you have to rely on your own efforts, understand? ”

"Big brother, why are you talking about this, doesn't my little brother want to help you."

"If you want to help me, listen to me. Now not only can I not live in your house, but I also have to keep a certain distance from you on the surface. The chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites exam next year is Da Xixun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Da Xixun and your father have political disagreements, if I move to your house at this time, what will Da Xixun think? ”

"The younger brother knows that the eldest brother is because of this."

"You know, you're still letting me live in your house? Okay, I don't care about you, during this time, you try to cooperate with me in a play, and wait for the Ministry of Rites to try it. ”

Gongsun Jingyu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Big brother, let's talk, what kind of play?" The younger brother must cooperate with the eldest brother. ”

"How did you get along with your father after entering Beijing?" Leon asked seemingly casually.

As soon as he mentioned this, Gongsun Jingyu was a little deflated, drank and said: "It's not like that, it's a little better than before, but it's not much better." If I hadn't said it this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come out. I can't live this day! ”

"You, if you accept your temperament, your father won't be so strict with you. When I asked you to go to Beijing, study hard and learn from your father how to behave in the world, it seems that you didn't listen to it at all. ”

"Big brother, I have listened, but don't expect me to become a saint all of a sudden, okay? How can I stand this? ”

"Expecting you to become a saint? Hahaha......" Li Ang laughed, probably understanding his distress, Gongsun Jin must be eager to see his son Jackie Chan, it is inevitable that it is a bit overkill, "Okay, big brother will give you another trick here, so that your father thinks that you are a talented person, and he may relax with you." ”

"Really? Big brother quickly say, what tricks? Gongsun Jingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, the thief was bright, and he couldn't wait to come over and hug Li Ang and kiss him.

Li Ang felt a chill in his heart, and said solemnly: "Brother Xian, you sit down, and the following words must not be leaked out." Now among the ministers of the court, your father is in the same faction as Cheng Wang Jie, Chen Xilie and others in the imperial history, and Li Linfu, the right minister;

The Ministry of Rites Lang Da Xi Xun, the water and land transport envoy Wei Jian, the Longyou Jiedu Huangfu Weiming, as well as Pei Kuan, Han Chaozong and others are one faction with Li Shizhi, the left minister;

Now the dispute between the two factions has intensified, and it has reached the point where either you die or I live. As the saying goes, shoot people first and shoot horses, capture thieves and capture kings first, as long as Li Shizhi, the left minister, loses his favor, the faction headed by Li Shizhi will collapse.

Brother Wei just heard a news, someone has found a gold mine in Huashan, and now the court is nervous, as long as the news is reported to the saint, the saint will be happy. ”

"Big brother, what do you mean...... let my father report this news to the Holy Lord?"

"Nope! Let your father and the right minister try to indirectly reveal this news to the left minister Li Shizhi, and Li Shizhi will report it to the saint. ”

"Huh? Big brother, this ......"

"Before the huge profits, most people will ignore one point, Huashan belongs to the Qinling Mountains, and the Qinling Mountains are the places where the Tang Dragon Vein passes, understand? Once Li Shizhi is fooled, he will report the matter to the Shengshang, and the Shengshang will definitely ask Li Linfu, the right minister, to inquire about the mining of yellow ore, and at that time, he can throw stones into the well. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Jingyu couldn't help but pat his thigh and applaud, he said excitedly: "Big brother, don't say anything else, just with this strategy, if you can bring down Li Shiyi's faction, what is the difficulty of letting the right minister recommend you to join the office, big brother, what kind of imperial examination do you take?" ”

If this strategy can really bring down Li Shizhi, it is not difficult for Li Ang to be appreciated by Li Linfu, and with Li Linfu's recommendation, it is indeed not difficult to get an official and a half-job.

But Li Ang didn't want to tie up too tightly with Li Linfu, and Li Linfu didn't seem to be able to jump for many years; Putting this aside, if you tie up too tightly with Li Linfu, you will lose your freedom.

And it is still very beneficial to have a Jinshi background, which is not a small character from a family, and the Jinshi background will greatly increase his weight, and the chances of promotion in the future are much greater.

Leon once again solemnly warned him, "Remember, Brother Xian, don't reveal that this is my idea. You can't reveal it even to your father, otherwise the eldest brother will be killed, remember? ”

"Big brother, it's not so serious, how is it possible?" Gongsun Jingyu looked puzzled.

Li Ang sighed: "As the saying goes, the king's heart is unpredictable, and no one dares to guarantee whether the emperor will immediately cure Li Shizhi's crimes." Big brother I am just a small role now, if I let others know that it is my big brother's move, as long as Li Shizhi still has a breath of air, my life will not be guaranteed;

In this world, there are often some small characters who don't measure their own strength and want to be greedy for heaven's work, and such people will definitely not end well. Brother Xian, you also have to remember that even if some of the credit is really yours, but you also have to see if you can afford it, if you can't afford it, you must not ask for it, and let it out honestly.

Moreover, there are still two months before the spring of next year, and I am still ready to deceive a Jinshi from Li Shiyi's faction, you have confessed me, do I still have a show? ”

"Oh, little brother remember, big brother, don't worry, I won't say anything if I kill you." After hearing this, Gongsun Jingyu immediately patted his chest and made a guarantee.

Li Ang still believes in him, and Gongsun Jingyu promises that he will not say it, and he will definitely not say it.

But on the other hand, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Gongsun Jin must be able to guess that this idea was not something his son could come up with, so it is not difficult to guess that this is an idea that Li Ang helped behind his back.

In this way, Li Ang is not greedy for this merit, but he can make Gongsun Jin look up to him and owe himself a favor.

In short, this is definitely much better than directly stealing the limelight from Gongsun Jin. This incident made Li Linfu think that Gongsun Jin came up with it.

After talking about business, the two of them had a drink upstairs. Li Ang looked at the street scene from time to time, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, riding a horse from the direction of Daming Palace, who was not Yang Zhao?

From Yang Zhao's radiant demeanor, it can be seen that he mixed quite well after entering Beijing.

Li Ang's heart moved, and he chanted at the window: "Green ants make new wine, red clay small stove." If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? ”
