Chapter 743: Helping the World
Soap Li fell into a dog eating, with a lot of snot and tears on his face, and howled vaguely in his mouth: "The villain doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and the marquis of Zhenyu spares his life, spares his life!" ”
Seeing that the companion who went in to report had become this dejected virtue, the soap li, who had the most arrogant attitude at first, was also dumbfounded, and a chill followed by a bone-chilling feeling. Who doesn't know the reputation of the Hou of Zhenzhen in Nanjing? First, Ruan Dacheng was cleaned up and scattered his family wealth, and he rolled out of Yingtianfu. Then there is the great monk of Linggu Temple who died quietly in prison, and the entire Linggu Temple was copied inside and out, and the temple property accumulated for more than 200 years was wiped out. There is even more Shi Kefa and the Three Guards are embarrassed, and they are also lost by the gray face of the Hou Cheng, if it weren't for Shi Butang, who is still a good official who is public and serves the country, I am afraid that the end will not be much better than the previous two.
Thinking of these piles one by one, Soap Li only felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave in the middle of summer, cold from the inside to the outside. The whole body involuntarily softened, and he sat down under the stone steps like a mess of mud, muttering muttering.
"My mother, really, really a captive marquis?"
One sentence suddenly made him beat him hard, and then he crawled on the ground, crying out loud, "The marquis of Zhenyu spares his life, villain, villain is blind dog's eyes, no, no, no villain just doesn't have the one below, that ......"
Fear made this soap who had been arrogant for a quarter of an hour suddenly turn into an echo worm that could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
Li Xin laughed, "I just want you to remember in the future, you can't judge people, this world is ups and downs, how do you know if there is no miracle?" ”
After that, he ignored the soap li, raised his legs and stepped on the stone steps, and entered the door.
When he passed by the door, the soap who had received the silver held the ten taels of silver that Li Xin had given him in his hand, as if he had touched a red-hot iron lump, trembling.
"Town, town captive marquis, the villain doesn't dare to accept your old man's silver, now the original bi will be returned!"
The last sentence unconsciously grabbed a sentence. Li Xin smiled faintly, "The so-called ignorant are not to blame, ten taels of silver should be rewarded to you, so take it with peace of mind." ”
Soap Li kowtowed and thanked him repeatedly, until Li Xin's figure disappeared into the door, and the two of them lost their souls and couldn't recover for a long time.
Soap, who still received the money, was the first to come back to his senses, came to the bottom of the stone steps, and helped his companion up.
"I said brother, we have suffered a loss today, and we have a long memory. How many people came in and out of the door of this prince and princess were fuel-efficient lamps? If Zhang Ge is developed in the future, our brothers will be able to be people with their tails between them in the future, and they will be able to see each other with a good line. ”
"Can Zhang Ge Lao still be developed?" Previously, the soap subordinates in the palace had reached a consensus, that is, the fall of Zhang Gelao was only a matter of time, so many talents behaved dissolutely.
"How confused is my brother, today the town marquis is light and simple, are you here to play?"
The dejected soap li slapped his head and made a sudden realization.
"No wonder! No wonder! ”
At this time, he thought of Wu Zhen who was rectified by the soap subordinates, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang. It is said that feng shui takes turns, this Wu Fuzun is unlucky today, and tomorrow may make a comeback? This ready-made cold stove is placed in front of you, if you don't burn it well, you have to grudge with others, why bother?
To rectify Wu Zhen's manpower, these two soap subordinates have contributed a lot, and now that they think about it, they feel that they should treat this person well, otherwise he may be developed again in the future, and they can still have their brother's good fruit to eat?
As soon as they thought of this, the two of them glanced at each other, and they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
Li Xin turned past the wall, but saw that the soap servants in the temporary yamen were crooked, and there was no prestige of the governor, and he couldn't help but sigh for a while. This Fang Yan can have today, I have to say that he is to blame, but what this person did was the court in his heart, in his opinion, even if he caused a disaster, he was willing to bear it, right?
Today's Zhang Fangyan's image in Li Xinxin is becoming more and more three-dimensional, but their respective positions are different, if he still insists on doing so...... Li Xin no longer wants to go on, he is now shouldering more than just one person, in a narrow sense, there are tens of thousands of three guards and followers behind him, in a broad sense, he wants to change the historical fate of the Han family being fragmented and the foreign barbarians poisoning China.
Although Li Xin has done a lot of things in the past few years, but now that he thinks about it, which one is not pushed by the shape? Even if there are dozens of victories, the people of the Ming Dynasty can't eat or wear, so what's the difference between the foundation of the building and the loss of the foundation?
The reason why Li Zhang and the thieves have been repeatedly suppressed for more than ten years is because the Ming army is not brave and good at fighting? Obviously not, on the contrary, before the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it was often thousands of Ming soldiers who dared to chase after the buttocks of hundreds of thousands of thieves. But even so, why is it corrupted to such a mess now? The current situation is even more sinister than the history that Li Xin is familiar with, the Central Plains has fallen, only a few isolated cities remain, and the whole of Sichuan has completely fallen into the mouth of Zhang Xianzhong. And Shaanxi was controlled by King Shen and Zuo Liangyu.
Looking at Jiangnan again, the Huangmei thief in history was finally killed by Shi Kefa, but now? not only rebelled against the King of Huai, but even threatened to stay in Nanjing, how can this not make people worried? To put it bluntly, who loves rebellion among the people of the Ming Dynasty? If you can't get just one bite of food that can live, if you don't rebel, do you have to wait to starve to death?
Li Xin believes that such a simple truth, Emperor Zhu Youzhen can understand it, and the important ministers of the cabinet can understand it, but why did they all become ostriches, thinking that if they hide their heads in the sand, they will be out of sight when they are outside? On the contrary, everyone will kick their exposed ass mercilessly.
"Marquis of the Town?"
It wasn't until someone called out on the side that Li Xin came to his senses and found that he had unconsciously entered the back house of the temporary governor's yamen, but although the courtyard was not very spacious, it was surrounded by rockeries and strange stones, covered by green leaves, and stone tables and stone benches were located under it, which was also eye-catching, and it was a good place for the situation. And Zhang Fangyan, the governor of Zhejiang, was sitting upright on the stone bench, with a thick cushion under him, obviously afraid of the cold air soaking his body.
Li Xin glanced at Zhang Fangyan a few times, the old man was not fat, but now after a serious illness of real and false, his cheekbones protruded, and the whole person was as thin as a pair of skin and bones.
Seeing this scene, for some reason, Li Xin's heart couldn't bear half of the hatred. Although he knew that the old man in front of him had done many things that wanted to kill him, he didn't care.
Li Xin can understand that their respective positions are different, but when it comes to personal morality, Zhang Fangyan is still impeccable.
"The marquis of the town came to look for the old man, I don't know what happened?"
Zhang Fangyan's voice was not loud, and there seemed to be a mouthful of phlegm in his throat that he couldn't spit out, muttering, and hoarse. But Li Xin could hear that every word of this word was oozing with the coldness of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and where there was the decadence of the half-fallen governor.
"For the public and for the private!" Li Xin bowed and replied calmly.
Zhang Fangyan took a deep breath and finally spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which happened to spit into the spittoon placed at his feet.
"The difference between the words of the marquis of the town, the old man and the marquis of the town have no selfish friendship to talk about. If there is business, just say it! ”
Li Xin sighed, he didn't come to see Zhang Fangyan's jokes, let alone to raise the bar with him, so after taking a deep breath, he sat down on the stone bench next to the stone table, just opposite Zhang Fangyan across the stone table.
"Let's talk about private matters first......" Li Xin didn't seem to understand the words of "selfless friendship", Zhang Fangyan closed his eyes disappreciatively, and he didn't know whether he heard it or pretended not to hear it.
"Li Xin has something to understand, and he asks the elder to solve his doubts." Li Xin paused, Zhang Fangyan closed his eyes slightly, and did not react. "May I ask what the old man is an official for? Glory to the ancestors? Come home rich or famous? Or is it for the sake of the world? ”
Li Xin's title is a bit marginal, but it is the proper meaning of the question, and he tries to discover whether Zhang Fangyan is the king or the world in his heart.
This question really aroused Zhang Fangyan's interest, and his eyes suddenly opened.
"Although the old man wasted a good time, he still knows the words 'loyal to the monarch and serving the country'!" His answer was deeply defensive.
Li Xin smiled indifferently and continued: "Li Xin has read few books, and he has also heard such a sentence, 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world', I don't know what the elder of the pavilion explains? ”
The corners of Zhang Fangyan's mouth involuntarily turned up a disdainful smile, this sentence Li Xin just said the opposite, what Mencius said is to help the world at the same time, and the poor are good for themselves, although it is a person's attitude to enter the world and be born, but how many people can do this? However, Zhang Fangyan obviously didn't plan to tell Li Xin, the old rough martial artist, these truths, in his opinion, what is the difference between a chicken and a duck?
Although Zhang Fangyan didn't answer, Li Xin still said to himself: "Li Xin reads books, but he has some experiences, I don't know whether it's right or wrong, and I ask the elder to solve my doubts." Is it possible to understand that the greater the strength of a person, the greater the responsibility on his shoulders? ”
Zhang Fangyan nodded involuntarily, Li Xin's statement is actually very novel, Mencius's original intention is good, but after all, it is self-centered and emphasizes external influences. And Li Xin's statement that the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility on his shoulders, although the words are very rough, but it makes people's eyes shine. Compared with the former, the former emphasizes itself more, while the latter emphasizes the world more.
In other words, there is a kind of enthusiasm in Li Xin's rhetoric, which is rare at this time, which makes people feel a sense of wind and waves, rather than the detachment of being born into the world.
Zhang Fangyan nodded after all, "It can be so understood!" The old man also wants to ask the Marquis of Zhenyu, what does the Marquis of Zhenyu mean when he says today, 'Reaching will help the world'? After saying this, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at Li Xin with blazing eyes.
