Chapter 273: I'd rather be a snake's head than a dragon's tail

readx;

Liu Jian's questioning did show his generosity as a cabinet scholar, the Ming cabinet, although there is a lot of harmony on the surface, but there are also a lot of intrigue, if the scholar is strong, of course the other bachelors are dissatisfied, so intrigue is indispensable, on the surface to maintain politeness, but everyone is afraid of each other.

But Liu Jian is different, Liu Jian does not take power, he knows very well that Tao Strategy is not his strength, and dialectics and details are not his strengths, so he often encounters major events, and often calls Li Dongyang and Xie Qian together, Li Dongyang is good at making ideas, and Xie Qian is suitable for doing things, after Li Dongyang has an idea, Liu Jian will come to make a decision, as for how to implement it, it depends on Xie Qian.

Liu Jian's bearing really made the entire cabinet twist into a rope.

Hearing Liu Jian's inquiry, Li Dongyang didn't hide any personal secrets, and said straightforwardly: "The top priority at the moment is to immediately let Guangxi Governor Chen Yao thoroughly investigate this matter, and as for the rest, the cabinet doesn't have to pay attention to it." ā€

Liu Jian was about to drink tea while holding the teacup, and when he heard Li Dongyang's words, he immediately put down the teacup, forgot about drinking tea, and began to ponder and digest Li Dongyang's words.

never mentioned Liu Chengfeng, which means downplaying the influence of Liu Chengfeng, and not making people think that cleaning up the Jingjiang Palace is because of Liu Chengfeng, so that the vassal kings have nothing to say.

And the focus is on thoroughly investigating the case of this squire's trouble, which is to set the tone for cleaning up the Jingjiang Palace, and there is nothing to criticize for this reason.

Liu Jian's eyes lit up, and then he said: "Bin Zhi is right, this matter can only be done like this, and it is appropriate to let Chen Yi thoroughly investigate this matter, he is the right deputy capital of Guangxi, the governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this is his duty, we are only in charge of official affairs, if the Jingjiang Royal Mansion is really wronged, it is naturally easy to say, but if it really violates the ancestral system, the court cannot tolerate it." ā€

He set the tone, which can be regarded as determining the cabinet's attitude towards what happened in Guangxi, and then Liu Jian relaxed, smiled at Li Dongyang, and said, "Binzhi, how is your body?" You might as well go back and get some rest. ā€

In the excitement, Li Dongyang's illness has indeed eased a lot, but now that he is relaxed, he also feels very uncomfortable, and nodded his head and said: "Then the cabinet matter, there are Lao Liu Gong and Xie Gong." ā€

After saying that, he reluctantly got up, and Li Dongdong, who had been silent on the side, hurriedly came to pick him up.

Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongdong, but he had some impressions of Li Dongdong, after all, he occasionally went to Li Dongyang's side to walk around, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this Binzhi's brother?" Why, still studying in the house? ā€

Li Dongdong smiled at Liu Jian and said, "Yes, student Li Dongdong, I have seen Liu Gong." ā€

Liu Jian showed a look of regret, sighed and said, "It's a pity, you wrote an article before, called on the spring ploughing strategy, isn't it?" This article is good, it's just a pity ......"

Liu Jian shook his head, in fact, who has reached their status, which one doesn't have a little regret, such as this Li Dongdong, who is so good at learning, but can only stay at home and study, why? Because even if they go to the imperial examination, it is okay if they don't have a middle brother, but once they go to high school, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the Qing Dynasty, and others will only say that the cabinet elders cover up their relatives and even leak the test questions.

Therefore, a child like Li Dongdong, on the surface, his clan brother holds the authority of the world, but in fact, he also knows that he has suffering, and once the clan brother is not a scholar, he will never come out.

Li Dongyang is not too old now, at least for the cabinet ministers, he is already very young, even if he works for another ten or twenty years, it will not be much of a problem, but can Li Dongdong wait? There are several decades and twenty years in this life, and now Li Dongdong is almost forty years old, thirty and six, and in another ten or twenty years, I am afraid that even if he can enter the science field, the future of this life can only be settled.

Becoming an official also depends on luck, some people are in high school at the age of 20, even if they are poor, after 20 or 30 years, at least they can get a prefect or even a political secretary. But if you enter the government at the age of forty or even fifty, even if you are hand-picked by Hanlin and become a Shujishi, I am afraid that the future is limited and tight.

Li Dongyang said that Li Dongdong's creation could only stop here, and it was no wonder that Liu Jian felt sorry for him.

Liu Jian's sigh naturally touched Li Dongyang's heart, and his pale and paper-like appearance couldn't help but become even more gloomy.

Li Dongdong was also in pain in his heart, but of course he knew that he could not hinder the future of his clan brother, and with his clan brother here, he must be willing to live behind the scenes. However, Li Dongdong smiled, a smile that covered the bitterness in his heart, and said: "It's good to study in the mansion, many people want to calm down and study, but they don't have this luck, as for entering the office, the students have long looked down on it." ā€

Liu Jian knew that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, although Li Dongdong said it freely, but the man's husband, who didn't care about the title of the gold list and showed his ambitions, he didn't say anything more, and sent Li Dongyang and Li Dongdong out.

Out of the palace, Li Dongyang and Li Dongdong entered the sedan chair in silence, no one spoke, they were all thinking about their hearts.

After a long stick of incense in the sedan chair, Li Dongyang glanced at Li Dongdong and suddenly asked, "What you said to Liu Gong just now was not your original intention." ā€

Between brothers, there is nothing to shy away from, although Li Dongyang's words are straightforward, but his face still shows concern.

Li Dongdong was silent, he wanted to deny it, but he didn't want to lie.

Li Dongyang then said: "I was thinking about it for my brother, and entering this cabinet for my brother is indeed sorry for you and delaying your future......

Li Dongdong hurriedly said: "How can my brother say such a thing, I am willing, and I have no intention of blaming my brother." ā€

Li Dongyang sighed and said, "Brother Wei knows that you don't blame your brother, but the more this is the case, the more uncomfortable it is for your brother." He was silent for a moment and continued: "It is said that you have read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and you have almost read this book, and your knowledge and skill in handling things have improved. It's time to go out for a walk and show what you've learned in your life. ā€

Li Dongyang is also a brother and a teacher to Li Dongdong, and he can be said to have taught his own skills, and what he said about what he has learned in his life is not knowledge, but strategy.

Li Dongyang is in the cabinet, and he is already known for his good strategy, and Li Dongdong is under his influence, and his level is no longer under Li Dongyang.

Li Dongdong still didn't speak, what his brother said to him was not his wish, but unfortunately, he didn't have a place to use it, and they all said that he learned literature and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family, except for the emperor, who wants his ability?

Li Dongyang said lightly: "So, for my brother, I want to take precautions for you, no matter what, I want to earn a future for you, I had this idea for my brother before, but I have been hesitating, and I just listened to Liu Gong's sigh, and now I have made up my mind." Dongdong, you are not young, you can't afford to delay any longer, it's better to ...... You go to Lianzhou. ā€

"Lianzhou ......" Li Dongdong was stunned for a moment.

immediately understood what Li Dongyang meant.

Lianzhou is to go to Liu Chengfeng, except for Liu Chengfeng, there is really no one to turn to.

Li Dongyang explained: "During the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Xiu wanted to surrender Yuan Benchu, but Jia Xu stopped him, Jia Xu told Zhang Xiu that Yuan Benchu's subordinates had thousands of generals, and there were countless staff members. At that time, Cao Ying's strength was weaker than Yuan's original, and there were not many celebrities, if the general voted for him, he would be reused. Originally, you were arranged to be in the Governor's Yamen, no matter what, there will always be a chance to earn a background, but these people are all princes, even if you are willing to go, people may not be willing to value you, at most they will give you some care in the face of your brother. ā€

To take care is to take care, but to entrust it is another matter. If Li Dongdong goes to take refuge, people say that you will be raised in captivity and give you fine clothes and food, but they don't want to and dare not let you do things, which is against Li Dongyang's original intention.

Of course, Li Dongdong understands these words.

Li Dongyang continued: "And this Liu Chengfeng is different, his side, except for a few martial artists and scribes, there is no one worth relying on, although he is now a marquis, but the position is only a thousand households, sooner or later, there will be a cloud, Pengcheng thousands of miles, if you are willing to follow him, with your ability, you will definitely be relied on by him, but don't forget, he is the East Palace Washing Horse, and the relationship with the prince is like a brother, you help him, you will definitely be able to earn a good future." ā€

Li Dongyang looked at Li Dongdong's changes, and Li Dongdong was obviously a little moved.

He continued: "What's more, although this person is young, but the means are ruthless, you see that this time he fought with the Jingjiang Palace, it can be said that he is in the ring step by step, anticipating the enemy's opportunity, such a person is very terrible, by his side, the old man can rest assured, after all, although you have read a lot of things, but you have to sharpen and sharpen again, otherwise you will suffer." ā€

Li Dongdong faltered. Li Dongyang's analysis is not wrong at all, he would rather be a snake head than a phoenix tail, Li Dongdong is such a person, although he is dormant, but his ambition is very great, let him enter the staff of the governor, what he says is not taken seriously, even if he is given a good future, he is reluctant. On the other hand, Liu Chengfeng is here, Liu Chengfeng does not have a staff member by his side, as long as Li Dongdong is willing to put down his body, he will definitely be valued by Liu Chengfeng, although he will not obey his words, but there is a lot of room for display.

"Dongdong, what do you think?"

Li Dongyang looked at Li Dongdong without the slightest expression on his face, if it weren't for his brother, Li Dongyang would not have made this choice, because for him, Liu Chengfeng has a big distance from him after all, and this distance is impossible to bridge. But now, he has to plan for Li Dongdong, Liu Chengfeng's future is big enough, and it is just right for Li Dongdong to go.

Li Dongdong thought for a while, and then said, "Listen to my brother's orders." ā€
