Chapter 119: The man she fancies doesn't love her
Li Ling is not just talking.
In the past few days, the ministers have pointed at him, and several ministers who had been friends with him in the past have ignored him, and when they see him, they hide away like a plague god.
On the way to the court, it is the norm to be thrown eggs and stones by the people in the market.
The emperor doesn't like him anymore. After all, he is a tanhua, in the past, his recitals, the emperor did not say that he could definitely approve it, even if he did not agree, he had to spend time discussing with him, but in recent days, the emperor ignored him, and the recitals handed in were often sent back the next day without moving.
Let's go back home, the last time Guo Caiping's sister-in-law came to make trouble, Guo Caiping had no choice but to accept Cai Xin'er as a concubine, and Guo Caiping has ignored him since then. Cai Xin'er is too childish, she is afraid when she sees him, it's not interesting, and she is pregnant, he doesn't want to, and he can't get close to her.
Even the stinky stray dog in the alley behind Li's Mansion used to wag his tail when he saw him, and recently he has also avoided him.
In short, Li Ling has been particularly lonely and depressed recently.
After he was smashed by the people in Xishi today, he was covered with green cabbage leaves and rotten eggs, and went home very embarrassed, Cai Xin'er saw it and came up, and reached out to take off the things on his body for him, Guo Caiping saw it, sneered, and said: "Yes, Xin'er, you got all the vegetable leaves and eggs on his body, and went back to fry a plate of vegetables for him to eat." Xianggong, how good it would be for you to come back like this every day in the future, so that our family doesn't have to buy groceries. Anyway, the Li Mansion doesn't have much money, and you don't have much future. ”
Li Ling trembled with anger, this is Guo Caiping's dislike of him for being poor and having no future.
Really, she still has the face to dislike him? When the marriage was not decided, he was supposed to be with Liu Pingle, but she Guo Caiping ran to him and said that her family background was better than Liu Pingle, and that she could help her better than Liu Pingle......
She's a fart!
She is Guo Fuyi's unfavored concubine, when she returned to the door that day, her father-in-law Xu Shi also heard about Cai Xin'er, and knew that this son-in-law was going to be unlucky, and his face was longer than a donkey! I almost didn't knock the two of them out!
I knew that I was with Liu Pingle at the beginning, and Liu Pingle was Liu Zongfang's only concubine, if Liu Pingle fell into such a situation, the old man would definitely not care.
At this time, there is no way, Liu Pingle can't be with him anymore, he and Guo Caiping's marriage, which was established on mutual deception and use, still has to go on.
Li Ling didn't have time to worry about Guo Caiping for the time being, so he went down to change his clothes, and he didn't eat, so he went to the palace.
He knelt at the door of the imperial study until it was dark, and Yin Mu asked someone to take him in.
Yin Mu, who was on the throne, looked uncertain and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty......" Li Ling kowtowed his head heavily, and said in a deep tone, "The minister has something important to do!" The minister wanted to sue the tabloid "Beijing Daily", which specializes in chasing after the wind and shadows, to tarnish the reputation of the imperial court. This is a big conspiracy, the purpose of which is to sow discord between kings and ministers! Please ask the emperor to call the shots for Weichen! ”
If it was really a folk tabloid talking nonsense about the officials of the DPRK and China, Yin Mu would definitely not let it go.
But others don't know that Jinglan is behind the scenes of "Beijing Daily", but Yin Mu has already gotten the news, so naturally he will not listen to Li Ling's words and deal with it at this time.
Yin Mu said coldly: "I just want to ask you one thing, is the thing written in the Beijing News true?" ”
Li Ling gritted his teeth, he had already accepted Cai Xin'er, and he couldn't panic about this matter, so he could only admit: "Yes...... But how can the minister be as unbearable as the "Beijing Daily" said, and the man's three wives and four concubines have not violated any laws in Dali......"
Yin Mu"
snapped the book case in front of him with a heavy sound, and said angrily: "But Da Li didn't have a wife and concubine, and he still felt justified when he abandoned the chaff and cheated on marriage and went home!" ”
Li Ling was suddenly trembling with fright, and his good eloquence was gone, so he could only keep kowtowing and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, and he knows that he is wrong......"
Yin Mu looked at the people on the ground with cold eyes, and said with a light sigh: "Li Ling, do you know why I know that you are so virtuous and have not yet disposed of you?" ”
Li Ling hurriedly said: "Yes...... It is the emperor's benevolence and cherishing ......"
"Yes, I have deep expectations for a poor student like you who is not admitted with the help of family background, if you are virtuous, you and Xu Qi will become my humerus in the near future, but you are eager for quick success, in order to win over high-ranking officials in the court, do such a thing as abandoning the dregs!"
When Li Ling heard this, his heart stagnated and he could barely breathe. With this sentence, he could almost conclude that his future was hopeless......
He was a big man, and he left tears in front of Yin Mu.
After being silent for a long time, Yin Mu finally sighed and said, "Go back, you are also the Tanhualang I appointed." Stay in your current position for five years, don't make things that ruin the collective reputation of the officials of the Dali court, don't make the people disappointed in the court, I may be able to continue to reuse you. ”
After getting Yin Mu's promise, Li Ling's tearful eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Five years, what is five years? I've survived so many years, is there still five years left?
Thanks to him, Li Ling straightened his waist again and walked out.
After Li Ling Xie En left, Yin Mu thought that although the "Beijing Daily" was managed by Jing Lan, it was really not very similar to let him write about the imperial court officials like this.
In fact, Li Ling's matter can be big or small, if it is not made out by the "Beijing Daily", Li Ling will solve it at home, he will also turn a blind eye, the court will not make such a big joke, and he will not be indifferent to a talented man who is really capable because of the matter of Fengyue.
I have to talk to Jinglan.
Soon, Jing Lan was called to the palace, Yin Mu gave him a seat, skipped the politeness and said directly: "Jing Lan, I called you over today for the sake of "Beijing News". ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"In the future, the Beijing Daily will stop writing about court officials."
After thinking about it for a while, Jing Lan guessed that it might be Li Ling who entered the palace to complain.
For this kind of man, Jing Lan also felt disgusted, and asked Yin Mu rhetorically: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong about the article that wrote Li Ling?" Li Ling's wedding night when he asked his wife for a dowry was also seen by the minister. ”
Yin Mu said: "It's not wrong, it's just that the impact is not good." The officials of the DPRK and China are under the watchful eye of the Jinyi Weidong Factory, so don't worry about it. ”
Jing Lan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Weidongchang is secretive, and it does have a deterrent effect on the courtiers, but once they find something, those ministers will either die or be injured." And the "Beijing Daily" only wrote out the wrong things they did for the people to judge, and there was no substantial harm in the end, so that it could not only urge the ministers to correct themselves, but also draw in the relationship between the courtiers and the people, what was wrong? Besides, we're not making things up, what we write is true. ”
What's more, this is An Ge's chance to display his talents, and he will definitely keep it for her.
Yin Mu also has some truth when he thinks about it, and Jinglan doesn't care much about the affairs of the court and the central government on weekdays, this is the first time he has seen him care so much about a thing, Yin Mu didn't have much to say, so he nodded and acquiesced.
changed his words again and said, "By the way, I told you last time that I told you to get married as soon as possible, do you have someone to choose?" want
Don't ask the queen to help you find another search? ”
"No need, the minister has already been chosen."
"Oh?" Yin Mu asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”
Jing Lan generously admitted: "It's the Ange that the emperor arranged for me before." ”
“…… Didn't you say you didn't want her? ”
Jing Lan was a little uncomfortable, he still remembered what he said badly, he smiled embarrassedly, and said: "After some observation, Chen found that she is still good." ”
Yin Mu frowned and asked, "Where is she good?" ”
Jing Lan recalled the quarrel between An Ge and Wanyun when she was appreciating chrysanthemums in the Nine Kings' Mansion, recalled the suicide of Tan and Bai's henchmen who she scolded in a few words before, and remembered that he pointed at Yin and scolded him for being disloyal, unfilial, and unkind......
Then he replied earnestly: "It's especially cute when you swear." ”
Yin Mu: "......"
Yin Mu really didn't understand Jing Lan's thoughts, maybe he liked to be spicy when he was fighting outside, but he still said thoughtfully: "I will give you a marriage tomorrow." ”
"No need, just come by yourself." The young man's eyes were clear and bright, he looked at Yin Mu, and smiled confidently, "After so many years of fighting, what opponent can't I conquer?" ”
Liufu.
An Ge and Liu Pingle finished chatting about Li Ling's current downfall, and talked about Mr. Xi Guo's new script, and in the evening An Ge remembered that today's business had not been done, so he simply didn't go back this night, and stayed directly here with Liu Pingle, and chatted with her about the things behind the "Beijing Daily".
Liu Pingle heard that An Ge was looking for a good-looking man, and immediately said, "How about looking for Lord Xu?" ”
An Ge thought about it carefully, and replied helplessly: "I think Lord Xu ...... It's really good-looking, but, but it's not particularly good-looking. ”
"No, I just think Lord Xu is very good-looking!" Liu Pingle's eyes shone brightly under the dancing candlelight.
It turned out to be a lover's eyes.
An Ge understands that from Li Ling to Xu Qi, Liu Pingle likes this kind of man who is polite and full of poetry and books.
Although An Ge was not so optimistic about Xu Qi's appearance, he thought that the words "young and promising and unmarried champion of the right age" could also attract many people to buy, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then we will make an appointment with Lord Xu tomorrow to discuss this matter with him." ”
After speaking, An Ge leaned into her ear and said with a smile: "By the way, I will help you hint at Lord Xu'......"
"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Pingle blushed and reached out to tickle An Ge's itch.
The two girls laughed together and fell asleep late at night.
On the second day, Liu Pingle entrusted Liu Zongfang to invite him back as a guest when he went to the court, saying that there was something about women's studies to discuss with him, Liu Zongfang did not suspect it, and after the next court, he really came back with Xu Qi.
Liu Pingle and An Ge went to the front hall to discuss with him, and Liu Zongfang was also on the side.
After pretending to discuss some things related to women's studies at the beginning, An Ge cut to the chase again: "Lord Xu, in fact, there is one more thing I want to ask you for help, don't hide it from Lord Xu, I have some relationship with the "Beijing Daily", and I want to ask for a portrait of Lord Xu and publish it in the "Beijing Daily...... Most of the women who read "Beijing Daily" are not married, and Lord Xu has not yet been married, so if he can connect ......"
"Matching?" Before An Ge's words were finished, Xu Qi interrupted her, looked at her quite affectionately and said, "Miss An, I already have a marriage contract with you. ”
After saying this, Liu Pingle was stunned, and the tea cup in his hand "snapped" and shattered.
