Chapter 653: Farewell Outside the City
The convoy stopped, Li Dongyang lifted the curtain, but saw that there were many guards scattered around the abandoned pavilion next to the official road, Qin Kan was sitting alone in the pavilion, the dilapidated stone table was already full of delicate side dishes, and a pot of wine was burning on the red clay oven.
Qin Kan was dressed in green clothes and plain face, with a jade crown and gold belt, sitting quietly in the pavilion, looking at Li Dongyang with a smile, never being angry, elegant and elegant, and his eyes seemed to have a magic power that turned snow into spring.
Li Dongyang's eyes were hot, Ha Luha laughed twice, got out of the carriage and walked to the pavilion.
Qin Kan stood up with a smile and bowed his hand to Li Dongyang: "Mr. Xiya is going to say goodbye, I don't see much, today the juniors put a glass of thin wine in the roadside pavilion, how about Mr. Xiya after he drinks it and then goes on the road?" ”
Li Dongyang smiled: "How can the old man of Ning Guogong's wine not drink it?" ”
With that, he raised his hand and took the wine cup on the table and drank it all.
"Good wine!" Li Dongyang praised loudly, it was not enough to praise it, he drank three cups in a row, and today the hundred officials outside the city saw him off, Li Dongyang had already drunk a lot, and at this moment, three cups were in his stomach, and his body suddenly became a little shaky.
Qin Kan smiled elegantly, but there was no mercy in his mouth: "Mr. Xiya's taste is really unique, in fact, this wine was temporarily bought from Fubin Building, half a tael of silver and a jar of two pig's trotters, the younger generation really can't drink such a rough wine, so they have to bring it to entertain guests, it is difficult for Mr. Xiya to praise it as 'good wine'......"
Li Dongyang almost vomited when he heard this, and immediately glared at him: "Sure enough, it's a bastard, and he cheated the old man before leaving!" ”
Qin Kan sighed: "The younger generation is not talented, but he also thinks that he can be regarded as a confidant of Mr. Even vinegar should be the first beautiful vinegar in the world, drink it like a sweet spring, Mr. is old, why is he still obsessed? ”
Li Dongyang smiled: "Yes, the old man has lived a lifetime, but when he is old, he is not as good as you, the son of the weak crown, it is indeed the old man who is in good shape, come, full!" ”
Qin Kan smiled and poured Li Dongyang full, and Li Dongyang raised his head and drank it all. With Qin Kan's explanation. This time, he tasted it carefully, Li Dongyang smacked his mouth, and his face was a little weird.
"Is it good?" Qin Kan blinked.
"You didn't say it just now, you don't think, when you talk about vinegar. Why does the old man think this wine has a sour taste? There is wind, snow, and confidants. This wine shouldn't taste like this......"
"Because I literally put vinegar in it."
Li Dongyang stopped talking. He was silent for a long time with his long beard, and then he said expressionlessly: "You went out of the city today to seek revenge, right?" ”
"Mr. Xiya has too much heart, and the junior is really here to send you. In addition to sending you off, there is also a reluctant ......"
Li Dongyang is worthy of being an old fox who is famous for his good strategy, and his eyes narrowed when he heard this: "The old man knows why you came." ”
Qin Kan hurriedly said sincerely: "Of course, I came here to send the old man back to his hometown. ”
Li Dongyang snorted coldly: "If the old man doesn't know each other again, I'm afraid that there is more than vinegar in the wine, it's time to poison it, right?" ”
"It's serious, hehe, the boss is serious."
Li Dongyang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it to Qin Kan angrily: "I just waited for you outside the city for a long time and didn't come, the old man's heart was on fire, and he was about to burn it with a fire." ”
Qin Kanru took the piece of paper as if he had received a treasure, and hurriedly swept it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
I went out of the city early this morning, in addition to bidding farewell to Li Dongyang, the main reason was this piece of paper, only a list was written on the paper, all of them were ministers of the DPRK and China, Bai Yue, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Zuo, the new secretary of the household department, Hong Zhong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, etc., the first name in the row was the newly appointed secretary of the ministry, Li Dongyang's junior brother Yang Yiqing.
From this string of names, you can see how precious this piece of paper is.
Qin Kan solemnly put away the paper, stood up and gave Li Dongyang a long look: "Junior, thank you, boss, I'm afraid this situation will be difficult to repay in this life." ”
Li Dongyang said slowly: "These people are all colleagues or juniors of the old man's good friends, yesterday the old man has entrusted them one by one, and they have also agreed, try to be convenient with you in the future, but whether you can accept them depends on your own ability, Qin Kan, although you are now the same in power, but you are not a civil official after all, there is a big difference between you and a civil official, the old man can only do his best to do this for you, and he can't give you any help, but I just want to reduce your resistance a little." ”
Qin Kan nodded silently, Li Dongyang is right, the names on this list are not Li Dongyang's little brother left to him, at most they are part of the civil officials who can be fought for, Li Dongyang has been operating in four dynasties, and has been in the dynasty for 50 years, and the accumulated contacts can be described as extremely rich, but Li Dongyang's connections are not necessarily Qin Kan's connections, except for Yang Yiqing who owes him favors, the rest of the people have no contacts, Qin Kan wants to establish his own power in the court, and the road ahead is still difficult.
This is the last big gift that Li Dongyang left to Qin Kan, although these people can only be fought for theoretically, but it is enough for Qin Kan to be overjoyed.
Qin Kan, who was full of joy, saw Li Dongyang frowning and handed the vinegared wine to his mouth, looking like he had been given to commit suicide, and he was very entangled.
Qin Kan hurriedly put on a heroic look: "The old man is old and old, how can such an inferior wine be worthy of you?" Hurry up and put it down, the younger generation has a better ...... here"
Saying that, he clapped his hands, and a guard walked into the pavilion with a wine jar in his hand, the mouth of the altar was completely sealed with mud, revealing the freshness of the soil, Li Dongyang's eyes lit up, and the extraordinary product with soil outside the wine jar had obviously been buried in the ground for many years.
"The thirty-year-old Chen daughter red sent by Tongzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu has a soft entrance and a long aftertaste, the most correct choice for high-end Zhishi people, you are worth having!"
After speaking, Qin Kan took the wine, patted off the mud seal at the mouth of the altar, and a rich and almost formed aroma of wine wafted out, spreading in the small pavilion.
Li Dongyang was stunned, not for his thirty-year-old daughter, but for Qin Kan's face of being condescending.
"You...... If the old man doesn't come up with this list, won't your thirty-year-old Chen's daughter Hong show up? ”
Qin Kan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mr. Xiya knows that I am honest, and I won't hide it from you, the junior gets up early in the morning and rushes to ......a place thirty miles away from the city to say goodbye to Mr.
Li Dongyang was stunned for a long time, and finally broke out and laughed, trembling with laughter, Bai Huahua's long beard trembled, pointing at Qin Kanha and laughing for a long time before stopping.
"Villain, typical villain! When I first met you, you burned down the old man's house, and today you said goodbye to the old man, and you pit the old man again, we can be regarded as having a beginning and an end, you are only in your twenties this year, the old man must live hard for another twenty or thirty years, open your eyes and take a good look at what a miserable situation you will make those civil officials in the court, come, fill the wine for the old man! ”
The amber daughter red poured into the wine cup, thick like a bowl of boiled thick porridge, the wine buried in the ground for 30 years naturally cannot be drunk directly, and the seven-point old wine must be mixed with three points of new wine, so that the wine taste can be brought into full play.
The guards carefully mixed the wine for the two of them, and then respectfully withdrew.
Li Dongyang raised his glass and drank it all, then pursed his mouth and opened his eyes wide, as if he had been immobilized, and after a long time, he reluctantly swallowed the wine, and sighed long: "The old man has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, but it is extremely difficult to drink such a good wine in the world, and today is considered to have fulfilled his wish." ”
Putting down the wine cup, Li Dongyang looked at Qin Kan, with a little emotion in his eyes.
"At the beginning, there was a small inner city hundred households in Jinyiwei, Doudong Factory, Doudong Factory, Eunuchs, Civil Officials, Tartars, and Power Rape...... Fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, several desperate situations, the court and the central government all said that you have no physiology, but you just gritted your teeth and fought a bloody road, the old man has been an official in the court for fifty years, and has seen countless young and handsome people, and has also seen countless figures rise and fall, but you are an outlier, Qin Kan, the old man will say goodbye today, and you will be more and more lonely in the future in the court......"
Qin Kan's heart trembled, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
How many people in the world know that he is lonely?
Who knows what kind of ambitions are hidden in the eyes of the people of the world? This is an era of black and white confusion, loyalty and treachery, the justice in the eyes of the people of the world is only in how generously stated in the court, only in the music of how benevolent and righteous, send a team of people to copy the homes of those loyal and upright ministers, one is dirtier than the other, but as long as they are not down, they will always be the pioneers of morality, they represent Confucius and Mencius, represent justice, all the glorious and great positive words are represented by them, and those who are not tolerated by them are heretics, evil, and the scourge and traitor referred to by Wanfu.
Li Dongyang is right, Qin Kan is really lonely, this loneliness is not only the weakness of the court, but also the spiritual torment, he needs more than just political allies.
Silently drank a glass of wine, Qin Kanqiang smiled and said: "When Liu Jin was in power and caused chaos in the dynasty, wasn't Mr. also lonely?" ”
Li Dongyang's eyes suddenly turned red, it was really a dark period of internal and external difficulties, the traitorous party in the DPRK and China was rampant, loyal ministers were killed, the traitorous party was hostile to him, and his colleagues despised him, on such days, didn't he Li Dongyang grit his teeth and survive?
There was silence in the pavilion for a long time, and the two raised their glasses like a god, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"This glass of wine, a poem, 'The poor season is seen'."
Qin Kan hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I hope that the world will be peaceful from now on, and there will be no more times when you are poor." ”
The two of them drank it all and let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and said: "The old man knows that you have been very busy recently, the captain of Jinyi frequently travels back and forth between Beijing and Tianjin, and the shipbuilding of Tianjin Donggang is in full swing. ”
