If the edict prison is compared to a zoo, the tourists standing outside the cage at this moment are undoubtedly of poor quality, which makes a certain beast surnamed Qin who is being watched in the cage feel very bad.

Qin Kan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quietly looked at the old man in Chinese clothes.

The light in the edict prison was dim, but Qin Kan could still see his face clearly, his face was square, his bearing was calm, he stroked his gray beard, and smiled calmly and kindly.

After looking at it for a long time, Qin Kan finally determined that he really didn't know the old man.

Everyone who comes is a guest, no matter whether the person who comes is good or not, so Qin Kan smiled and said: "The younger generation has never met the old man, dare to ask the old man's surname?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "The old man's name is Liu Ji, I don't know if Xiaoyou has ever heard of it?" ”

Qin Kan's heart jumped.

Liu Ji and Liu Mian, a wonderful flower of the Chenghua Hongzhi Dynasty, actually saw him in prison today, but helplessly, Qin Kan was the target of the prison visit, and he really wanted to change with him......

Liu Ji is a scholar in the orthodox years, if you say to do learning, Liu Ji is still very good, as a Shu Jishi, the Hanlin Academy editor, the East Palace attendant, and even as a banquet official, the officialdom promotion is also very smooth, the Hanlin Academy has survived enough qualifications to successfully get out, the Ming Dynasty Hall shines on the stage, tired officials to the Ministry of Rites Zuo Shilang, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, until Hongzhi ascended the throne, until Hongzhi five years, even as the first assistant of the cabinet for five years. For a while, it can be described as powerful, and the party is like a forest.

The reason why Liu Ji is strange is because of his cheek.

Qin Kan thinks that he is very thick-skinned, but compared to Liu Ji, Qin Kan is simply an innocent little virgin who is easy to be shy and blush.

Liu Ji's career was almost scolded all the way by the officials and imperial historians, his corpse is vegetarian, and he is good at selfishness, which is the kind of extremely selfish character who is good for me to come and send you to death, because of these problems. Liu Ji is often scolded by the officials. According to the violent temper of the officials of the Great Ming Dynasty, the possibility of being beaten in the Golden Palace cannot be ruled out, but it is admirable. Lord Liu still goes his own way, oil and salt don't enter, and others scold others. What should he do or how to do it, I do it, so I am, while laughing and listening to the jumping feet and scolding of the officials, while greedy for money, pushing things that are not beneficial, and grabbing things that are beneficial.

Finally, the officials were tired of scolding and scolding, because the more they scolded this guy, the higher the officials rose. In the end, he was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, a very popular minister, I have to say. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there has only been such a hob-like first assistant. So the people of the time had to give him the nickname "Liu Mian", because Cotton was not afraid of impeachment (impeachment).

At that time, the cabinet and the court were in a miasma. The other two cabinet scholars, Wan An and Liu Yi, were not good goods, the upper beam was not correct and the lower beam was crooked, so the people at that time called the imperial court "the old man of the three pavilions of paper paste, and the six books of clay sculpture".

How thick is Liu Ji's skin?

But anyone who has a little self-esteem, when he is scolded, he either returns the mouth, or retreats in shame, and Liu Ji is different, he occupies the official position to the death, and would rather die than resign, it is common for the official to scold him, he has long regarded it as a floating cloud, when Hongzhi was five years old, finally Emperor Hongzhi also began to look at him unpleasantly, so he sent the eunuch to his house, hinting that he should say several times that he should not tell the old man or something like that, Liu Ji's strange flower pretended to be confused, and he couldn't understand the elegance outside the eunuch song. sent the eunuchs several times in a row, and returned in a huff.

In the face of this thick-skinned Shoufu, Emperor Hongzhi learned from the pain and decided not to play with him anymore, so he simply ordered the eunuch Huaien to go to Liu Ji's house in person, pointed to his nose and told him directly, Your Majesty looks at you unpleasantly, if you want to die, you should obediently play Zhishi, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, Liu Ji stayed for a long time, and then he had a sad expression that was more sad than his dead father, and reluctantly went to the book to tell the old man.

Generally for the treatment of the old recital, the emperor has to ask three times to stay, and then add a title to the face, and only after the most reluctance seems to be reluctant to approve, only for Liu Ji's special affairs of the old recital, Emperor Hongzhi is afraid that Liu Ji will regret it, Huai En 100,000 anxiously sent the recital into the palace, Emperor Hongzhi rose up in the starry night, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and it was approved without saying a word. A monarch and a minister were in such a hurry that the DPRK and China were called beautiful talks for a while.

Hongzhi five years to Shi, Liu Ji has never been used again, but after all, Liu Ji has been in the court for a lifetime, and has been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and even the first assistant of the cabinet, the protégé and the former officials can be said to be all over the world, and there are many henchmen like stars.

…………

A bachelor who used to be a beautiful and extremely popular minister, and the other was a thousand households in brocade who were in prison and dismissed from office, Qin Kan didn't think that there would be any intersection between him and Liu Ji, but the fact is that now Liu Ji is standing outside the prison door, looking at him with a calm smile.

Qin Kan had no choice but to arch his hand: "It turned out to be Liu Ge Lao, the lower official...... No, now I'm a grass people, and the grass people have seen the elder of the pavilion. ”

Liu Jiha laughed and waved his hand towards the end of the aisle, and a servant walked up to him with a food box and opened the food box, which was full of sumptuous wine and food.

Liu Ji made a "please" gesture towards Qin Kan, and then he was not too dirty, and sat cross-legged in the aisle. Qin Kan also sat in the cell door like him, and the two sat cross-legged across the iron fence of the cell.

Liu Ji personally poured a full bottle of wine for Qin Kan, handed it to him through the iron fence, and then poured a glass himself, and the two touched lightly and drank it all.

The wine is a good wine, the entrance is soft and mellow, Qin Kan tasted it for a long time, and sighed lightly like admiration.

Liu Ji poured it for him again, and said with a smile: "This wine is a self-brewed wine in my house, and the old man gave it a name, called 'Wu Ji Wine', and the poet Immortal Taibai has a poem: 'The wind blows the willow flowers all over the store, and Wu Ji presses the wine to persuade the guests to taste." The children of Jinling came to see each other off, and they did everything they could. ’……”

Looking at Qin Kan with a smile, Liu Ji said with a smile: "The ancients said that the dark fragrance and sleeves were elegant things in spring, but in fact, the old man prefers the elegance of 'Wu Ji pressing wine' in broad daylight, what can Xiaoyou hear from this poem?" ”

Qin Kan laughed dryly.

Radish and cabbage, each has its own love, flirting with women compatriots, each has its own hobbies, some like to close the door and flirt, such as himself, he often closes the door to help Lianyue and Xingxing expand his small chest, and cares about their development and growth, and Liu Ji is about the kind of person who likes to have someone next to him to cheer for him during sex.

From this point of difference, Qin Kan can be sure that it is difficult for him and Liu Ji to become confidants or old friends. Otherwise, if he proposes to have a three-P or group P with Qin Kan in the future, Qin Kan will ask himself, he will probably not be able to do such a shameless thing.

Qin Kan drank another glass of wine, and then sighed long: "I only know that whether it is dark incense sleeves or Wu Ji pressing wine, both must have silver, without silver dark incense will not give you a good face, Wu Ji will probably not press the wine, but pour the wine directly on your face......"

Liu Ji's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I never thought that Xiaoyou was a wonderful person, this subtle insight coincides with the old man, and he is right, only the copper smell can be exchanged for dark incense, and Wu Ji will be diligent in persuading wine after paying for wine. ”

Picking up the cup, Liu Ji and Qin Kan drank it all, and when they looked at Qin Kan again, the smile on their faces slowly converged.

Qin Kan was still smiling, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile: "I've been thinking, what kind of strong background is behind the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Zhejiang Political Division, and the adults who are qualified to rank in the Golden Palace of the Imperial Hall have been screened by me over and over again, and I even wonder if it is Li Dongyang's old fox who is behind the scenes, and now I find out that I am wrong, my eyes are only staring at the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace, it is too narrow, those who live in the temple are worried about the world, and those who are far away from the rivers and lakes will harm the world without any worries......"

Liu Ji poured himself a glass of wine, took a shallow sip, and smiled unchanged: "What does Xiaoyou want to say?" ”

Qin Kan's eyes stared at Liu Ji like a blade, and his tone had unconsciously become indifferent: "Liu Ji, you big fish has finally floated up, it turns out that everything is directed by you behind the scenes, and only you have the ability to call the wind and rain behind the scenes, although you have been a leader, but the party is still numerous, and the first secretary of the cabinet for many years is not in vain, only you have the ability to cover the sky and the sun, pointing to the deer as a horse, With just a single command, a five-rank prefect can be dismissed from office, and he will be trapped in a place of no return. ”

Liu Ji had been quietly listening to Qin Kan's story, without interjecting a word, until this moment, Liu Ji nodded slowly, and said: "You are very smart, the old man never beats around the bush when talking to smart people, yes, Du Hong's case is indeed the old man's doing." ”

Closing his eyes, Qin Kan raised his head and exhaled a long breath, the mystery that had been lingering in his heart for a long time was finally solved at this moment, he had a deep feeling of prostration and tiredness, and at the same time, a deeper worry was born in his heart.

He is a small person with no foundation and no power, and he is competing with the old man who used to be the old court, but now he has deep roots and many henchmen, what are the odds of winning?

Looking at Liu Ji bitterly, Qin Kan sighed: "Elder Liu Ge, why don't you keep your shameless style and what kind of mastermind you are behind the transformation, aren't you harmful......

Liu Ji didn't seem to understand it, but he probably understood the meaning, so he smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed in exchange for benefits, black hearts are good, as you said, silver can be exchanged for dark fragrance sleeves, Wu Ji pressed wine, shameless in exchange for saliva at most, the civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty have scolded the old man for so many years, how can the old man ever deal with them face to face?" It is the old man's self-cultivation not to care, but he can't scold the old man in vain, and the old man always has to charge a little price to come back to make up for the damaged face to be called balance. ”

Qin Kan was speechless for a long time, it turned out that in Liu Ji's eyes, being an official for so many years was just a job for him to be paid after being scolded willingly......
