Chapter 123: Waiting to Start from the Beginning (6)
Ding Yi's reward still didn't come down, but after staying out with nature and going crazy for a few days, Yu Qian sent the old servant to look for him, and every afternoon he had to go to Guozijian to be tortured by Xueba. Li Xian, who was so busy, took the time to come over and told him that he had nothing to do to accompany the old lady of the Li family, saying that Ding was idle anyway; And that night, the housekeeper of the merchant came to Ding Yi, saying that there was a subordinate in the merchant government who borrowed the money from someone else, that is, usury, and the backstage of the money was in the circle of nobles, and the housekeeper couldn't help if he wanted to, so he came to find Ding Yi.
"Aren't you going to beg your master about this? The second brother seems to be hot at the moment, if this person is really the same as you said, the money he borrowed to buy a coffin for his father is loyal and honest on weekdays, and it is just a matter of your master's eyes, right? "Ding Yi felt a little strange, how could this matter also find him?
The housekeeper said that he was instructed by Shang Chen, and there was something in the house that could not be solved, unless there was a major matter such as a family member being sick, he was not allowed to bother him, and he came to Ding Yi to solve it. Not long after he was promoted to a bachelor's degree, he was promoted to a scholar of Zuochunfang University, that is, a cabinet bachelor -- if you want to understand it better, it is equivalent to the assistant to the British prime minister thousands of years later.
Although Ding Yi heard that it was not easy to refuse, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, what is this called? He told the steward to wait, and then rode his horse to the noon gate. The cabinet office is on the right side of the noon gate and enters the Huiji Gate, near the Wenhua Palace. Along the way, Ding held his breath, preparing to take out the ambassador card of the Security Bureau who had not yet handed him over, and detained all of them for questioning, and if he dared not go, he would be beaten up to relieve his anger.
Who knows which gate the guards are, when they see him, they all desperately straighten their waists and try to make a mighty appearance, there are quite a few people, not a few. It was many guards who looked at him and praised: "Ding Fengyi is mighty!" "There was even a fanatic who could have tears in his eyes and a look of adoration.
All Ding Yi could do was to slow down his steps, put on a look of Han official majesty, and replied: "Daming is mighty!" It felt like being in a military parade, touching the tearful in his eyes, Ding Yi had to walk over, pinched other people's robes, and sighed, "It's very thin." In the difficult autumn, our generation should be in the same boat, for the rise of the Ming Dynasty, we must be patient! "Or beat the soldier's chest and praise it." Well, what a strong man! The admiration in the eyes of the soldiers intensified.
It's not that he Ding Rujin wants to pretend to be forced. Instead, he rescued the emperor from the enemy first. He left many legends in the defense of the Beijing Division, and finally before the military formation, he burned thousands of Vara Iron Cavalry with Greek fire, and for the people in the army, Ding Yi was highly respected like the emperor superstar of later generations. There is not necessarily anything surprising about star-chasing, but there is nothing surprising about star-chasing.
Everyone has such an expression, what can he Ding Rujin do? Is it like air to be guarded like this? The military brand in his bones cannot be erased, and he knows this situation very well. That's all I can do. In just one section, Ding Yi was miserable, and he felt that his facial muscles were as rigid as masks.
Finally caught Shang Chen, and as soon as he said that the housekeeper in his house came to Goldfish Alley, Shang Zhen said impatiently: "As long as you are idle, naturally you will deal with it." As soon as Ding was about to say more, Shang Shi lowered his head and began to make official documents, but his mouth said, "Come and see brother, I don't know how to bring some soup......
Ding Yi was speechless, because he saw Yu Qian coming from afar, so he had to resign and go back to honestly help the businessman's subordinates settle the matter of the seal money. In these years, the human touch is much stronger than after thousands of years, not to mention the brother who changed Lanpu, that is, the officialdom colleagues who are slightly closer to the same imperial examination and Jinshi, if someone dies and the family is ruined, the same year that the children go to their father to become an official, they will generally be taken in.
Therefore, when Ding Yi and his own brother came to send him, it was really impossible for Ding to be alone.
Who told him to shout for his resignation?
Indeed, he is the most free.
However, the only thing that taught Ding someone to be happy was that his reward did not come down, which was also the motivation for him to honestly go to the Guozijian every day to be tortured. In this era, the clan was not allowed to take the imperial examination, and it was not until the Wanli year that the clan below the general of Zhenguo was allowed to go to the imperial examination, and then gradually relaxed the restrictions, needless to say in the year of Chongzhen.
However, in the present years, there are no examples of people with the titles of duke, marquis, and earl, and no one has participated in the imperial examination until this time.
If it is the title of Zuyin, it is just a matter of losing the family road.
But if this freshly baked title is to go to the imperial examination with the Hanshi, it is not fair to the candidates from the Hanshi at all, and it is completely inconsistent with the fundamental reason for the imperial examination. Xungui has a noble way to get in, and this thing can't get across the border.
If Ding Yi is rewarded, no matter how small he is, there will be no less earl. If Wang Zhi and Chen Xun are willing to say a word for him, there is no suspense in fact. But after sealing the marquis, it is impossible to go to the imperial examination again, which means that the way to the center will be cut off forever, at least in this era, the first assistant and the like, the cabinet bachelor and the like, don't think about it.
Resign and resign? Okay? Yes! If someone wants to be a saint, then he has to be too prepared to be too humble to live like an adult, and only a few taels of silver after death. Otherwise, if you want to be a saint, others will catch you and drop a grain of rice and not eat it, you can talk about it, and then push out the human face and beast heart, the appearance is not the same, and so on.
Of course, for Ding Yi, what is more important is that there is no excuse for the imperial examination.
Then how did he go back to Rongcheng to climb the technology tree?
So there is no reward, for Ding Yi, it is the best reward.
As for the matter of settling the people in the Shang Mansion, in fact, it was not very difficult for Ding Yi, even Liu Tie didn't have to go, and directly asked the newly accepted disciple Wang Yue to take Ding Yi's token and run away, and the matter was over.
But on this night, there was an uninvited guest in Goldfish Alley.
It is also Ding Yi's old acquaintance: Xingtian.
Xingtian, who was like an iron tower, looked at Ding for a long time before he spoke: "You are stronger than me." ”
Xingtian, who ranks among the top ten in the Daming Jianghu, this kind of affirmation can no longer give Ding Yi any sense of accomplishment at this time.
No matter how you rank in the top ten, no matter how hard you work hard, you are also a Jianghu person.
Ding Yi is now a five-grade high-ranking official, and the nineteen-year-old five-rank high-ranking official will definitely not be moved by a person from the rivers and lakes, let alone the top ten, even if it is the praise of the first good man in the rivers and lakes. This is also a matter of one level, not at one level, there is no strength or weakness.
Ding Yi just smiled indifferently and said to Xingtian: "This tea is good, you might as well try it." ”
"I'm not here for tea." Xing Tian said in a deep voice, but there was a desire to fight on his face.
Even if Dante likes to kill again, he will not fight him.
So he still smiled faintly: "This osmanthus cake chef has been studying for a long time, and the student has tried it, and it seems to be good......"
"I didn't come here to eat." Xing Tian stood up suddenly, his huge physique, like a mountain, even the light of the candle flame was much dimmer, but he said to Ding Yi, "The rivers and lakes of the Jingshi are not something that you can decide with a word. It seems that Xingtian feels that it is not convincing enough, and adds, "Even when the old man is there, he can't make a decision in one word!" ”
The old man, of course, is the British public Zhang Fu.
Ding Yi laughed.
"Do you know who the boss behind the Red Mansion is? Do you know where the income of Tianxian Casino is paid every ten years? Do you know......" Xing Tian kept asking Ding Yi, and at the same time, he was also revealing to him how deep the water was in the rivers and lakes of Jingshi at the feet of this son of heaven.
Ding Yi put down the tea bowl and interrupted Xingtian's words: "The student can let Brother Xing continue." ”
"You don't want to hear it? Or do you already know? Xingtian was a little surprised by Ding Yi's attitude.
"No, I want to hear it." Ding Yi smiled silently, but said, "It's just that if Brother Xing is willing to confess these behind-the-scenes bosses who hide dirt, the students can also ask them to see if anyone has collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country for their own interests." If the criminal brother is interested, he will continue to talk slowly. ”
Xingtian's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he didn't know how to continue the topic. Ding Yi's attitude is obvious: That is, if you dare to say who is the backstage of Jingshi Jianghu, I will dare to engage him, say one by one, if you have the ability, you will report the name of the dish, and the charges will be fine, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
At this time, don't talk about Xingtian, or the backstage boss behind Jingshi Jianghu, even Emperor Jing and Yu Qian don't dare to toss Ding Yi too much, unless they make a mistake and give him a "trumped-up" charge. The problem is that Yue Fei did not welcome back the two emperors after all; Ding Yi welcomed Yingzong back. If you want to give him a "must-have", at least Yu Qian, who is determined to be a saint, will definitely not do it, how will he be scolded in the future! That is to say, regardless of whether there is such a will or not, only the possibility - even the emperor and the great Sima did not dare to put Ding Yi to death for the time being.
What can they do?
Is it a frame in the officialdom to make Ding Yi lose his position? People are about to resign, let's get it, Ding Yi will probably feel that it is a very happy thing to be able to avoid the torture of the national eunuch every afternoon. And according to Ding's current reputation, even if he resigns or is dismissed, he will beat someone to death in broad daylight, as long as the grade is not too much, and then throw a sentence: "This bureaucrat betrays the country and collaborates with the enemy!" "Not to mention the results of the triage of the three divisions, the people and soldiers in the Beijing Division, I'm afraid that at least seventy percent of them believe that the guy who was killed by Ding Yi is a traitor, and the remaining three adults are probably the characters in the chain of interests of the deceased, and most of them dare to attack Ding Yi's behavior is not in accordance with the law.
So Xingtian doesn't know how to pick it up, Ding Yi, even the thugs on the street dare to use knives against him, he can get it, a guy with no lower limit! Don't expect this guy to care about style or status. If Ding Yi has any bottom line, it is not to use the knife against him, but not to use the knife at him, he will not kill people after all.
"The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes." Xingtian thought for a long time, and finally held back such a sentence, "It's the old man back then, the best of the people, and it's still a matter of the rivers and lakes, you can't break this rule after all!" He said it categorically, but in fact, Xingtian, who was as tall as a mountain, felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He didn't know what to talk to Ding. (To be continued......)
