Fortunately, Shi Heng was a smart person, and he reacted very quickly, and immediately changed his mouth to Xu Youzhen and said: "Lord Xu, don't worry, from the current situation, disaster relief will not cause any big mess, although the contemptible nephew is not very proficient in disaster relief, there are not enough things to learn." And the rebellion will never happen, and when the time comes, Shi Heng will send his subordinates to escort the grain and grass with my nephew. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's expression, Xu Youzhen nodded and said: "Since Lord Shi is willing to personally send people to escort the virtuous nephew, there will definitely be no chaos on the way here, so Lord Ben will rest assured." ”

Shi Heng grabbed Li Kelin and said to Xu Youzhen: "This matter can be concluded so smoothly, thanks to Lord Xu's mediation in front of the emperor, and this matter is thanks to Lord Xu's deep affection." ”

Li Kelin still had eyes on such things, so he walked up to Xu Youzhen, knelt down and kowtowed to him, and said: "I can save my life this time, thank you Lord Xu for reaching out to save me, and in the future, Li Kelin will repay Lord Xu for saving him this time." ”

Seeing Li Kelin's expression, Xu Youzhen pretended to hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "The virtuous nephew is serious, this is just a gesture, why worry about it." Young people, it's good to be strong, but it's not a good thing to be too self-satisfied, and I hope to be thoughtful in the future, and don't be too reckless. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's admonition, Li Kelin said: "Thank you Lord Xu for your kind words, Kelin should keep it in mind and never forget." ”

After saying that, Li Kelin struggled to kneel down and kowtowed to Xu Youzhen three times.

Xu Youzhen saw him act like this, but he didn't step forward to dissuade him, and accepted his three heads safely.

In Xu Youzhen's heart, he felt that Li Kelin could be safe this time, thanks to his ability to exculpate in front of Zhu Qizhen, so that the emperor could turn back to the will of heaven and order Li Kelin to preside over the disaster relief.

Xu Youzhen's body did not move, but he said in his mouth: "Virtuous nephews don't have to be like this, they don't have to be like this, Xu can't afford this kind of big gift." ”

He praised it in his mouth, and there was a movement in his hand, and after receiving three heads, he wanted to step forward to help him.

After helping Li Kelin, who was kneeling on the ground, Xu Youzhen spoke: "The virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, although the saint has already changed his mind and ordered you to go to disaster relief, this is an opportunity to test, as long as you can cope with the law, you will be safe this time, if you mess up the errand, I am afraid that the consequences will be dangerous." ”

Li Kelin opened his mouth and said: "Thank you Lord Xu for reminding me, the younger generation naturally understands what the emperor means, but this time it can be like this, or it depends on Lord Xu to speak tactfully in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can have this grace." All in all, Lord Xu is really my life-saving benefactor. ”

Shi Heng also said from the side: "Exactly, thanks to Lord Xu's help this time, otherwise the life of the little nephew will not be saved." Lord Xu is very kind to us, and if Lord Xu needs me to do anything in the future, he just needs to give me an order. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Lord Shi is really outside, you and I are not outsiders, why bother with each other." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Shi Heng laughed and said: "Nephew, you see what my uncle said is right, Lord Xu is such a good person, even if he saves your life, he will not take credit at all." You see, what my uncle said is wrong. ”

Li Kelin heard Shi Heng's words, so he opened his mouth and said: "This matter is indeed not bad at all, Uncle is right, Lord Xu is really a good person, even if he is grateful for a thousand thanks, he can't express the gratitude of the younger generation." ”

Hearing Li Kelin's words, Xu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Alas, this little thing, why worry about it." ”

Shi Heng hurriedly said, "This matter is a trivial matter for Your Excellency, but it is by no means a trivial matter for us. If it weren't for Lord Xu's help, I'm afraid that the life of the little nephew would have been gone. How can I not thank Lord Xu for helping. ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Xu Youzhen bowed slightly: "Things are good, not enough, judging from the current situation, it is not easy to pass the test smoothly in front of the emperor, and you still need to make a little preparation now." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he was slightly stunned, so he arched his hand to Xu Youzhen and said, "What else do you have to prepare, please let Master Xu make it clear." ”

Xu Youzhen pointed at Li Kelin and said: "The emperor has already intended to forgive Li Kelin, and this matter is naturally the best, but from the current situation, there is still something inappropriate." ”

"If there's anything wrong, please make it clear." Shi Heng opened his mouth and spoke.

Li Kelin on the side also stared at Xu Youzhen with great concern and said, "What is going on, please ask Lord Xu to name a way to live." ”

Hearing that the two of them had questions, Xu Youzhen waved her hand unhurriedly and said: "In fact, the matter is extremely simple, although the emperor has expressed this, he has not made a will, obviously he wants Li Kelin to take the initiative to ask for disaster relief." ”

After Xu Youzhen broke the matter, Shi Heng suddenly opened his mouth and said: "It turns out that the emperor still has such a meaning, Lord Xu is really clever, if it wasn't for Lord Xu to break this matter, this matter would not have been realized for a while." ”

Li Kelin also opened his mouth and said: "Exactly, if it weren't for Lord Xu to mention it, the villain really didn't know how to change it." At the moment, this is not a difficult task. ”

Xu Youzhen said: "Yes, if this matter is revealed, things will be like that." The emperor has the emperor's thoughts, and those of us who are courtiers should think more about the emperor, and everything must be in line with the emperor's wishes. ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Kelin opened his mouth and said: "Thank you Lord Xu for your advice, it's just how the younger generation should do it." ”

Xu Youzhen smiled slightly and said: "Judging from the current situation, this matter is not difficult, Kelin, you can ask for peace with the saint, and you are willing to personally lead the people to all parts of Henan to help the people, and the emperor will definitely agree." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Kelin opened his mouth and said: "What Lord Xu ordered is, from the current point of view, this is the only way to be the most appropriate. ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he nodded and said, "Lord Xu, you are somewhat sure of this matter. ”

"The old man is ninety percent sure, what does Lord Shi think." Xu Youzhen said to Shi Heng.

"Since I am 90% sure, I think this matter is already 9 out of 10 sure, and from the current situation, it seems that this is the case. If the emperor intends to maintain it, it is the best. Shi Heng said from the side.

Xu Youzhen nodded and said: "Lord Shi Heng has seen it thoroughly, and what he said is extremely true, judging from the current situation, the emperor still has a good perfunctory appearance." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Shi Heng spoke: "Lord Xu's words are exactly Jin Yu's good words, and he wants to fool the emperor who is a chaotic minister and thief, but perfunctory to the emperor is a last resort." ”

Shi Heng agreed with this law, and Li Kelin naturally did not dare to disobey it.

Li Kelin spoke to the two of them: "It depends on the situation, and this is the only way to do it now." ”

Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen nodded.

Li Kelin understood that this matter had inevitably fallen on him.

After having such a thought in his heart, Li Kelin opened his mouth and said; "According to Lord Xu's meaning, shouldn't the little nephew go up to the fold and tell the emperor that he wants to make meritorious contributions."

Xu Youzhen pondered for a while and pointed at Li Kelin and replied: "No, it can't be like this, the upper fold can't be said to be guilty of meritorious service, but to tell the emperor to ask for punishment." ”

At first glance, Li Kelin was quite surprised and asked: "Punish yourself with the emperor, will this matter be self-defeating." ”

Shi Heng's reaction was very different, and he said to Xu Youzhen: "Lord Xu is really smart, judging from the current situation, although the emperor has the idea of letting Li Kelin go, he does not make a clear will, looking at the situation, the emperor really has such a meaning in his heart." ”

Xu Youzhen nodded and said: "It's still Lord Shi's mind is clear, and the old man asked Kelinxian's nephew to do this, that's what he meant." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Kelin suddenly realized: "I see, thank you for mentioning it." ”

Xu Youzhen bowed slightly, then opened his mouth to Li Kelin and said: "The children can be taught, the children can be taught." The emperor is benevolent by nature, and the love words in the excerpts of the virtuous nephew must be depressed and sad, so the emperor will definitely not bear it, so that things can be turned into big things and small things. ”

Li Kelin heard Xu Youzhen's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and spoke: "Thank you Lord Xu for your guidance, if the little nephew can be safe and sound this time, he will be rewarded." ”

Shi Heng also bowed his hand to Xu Youzhen from the side and said: "That's right, Shi Mou also has this intention in his heart." ”

Xu Youzhen smiled and said, "You two don't have to be polite, this matter is just a gesture, so why worry about it." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Shi Heng hurriedly spoke: "Lord Xu is really too modest, Lord Xu, how dare you not repay him." If the little nephew is lucky enough to save his life this time, he will be grateful. ”

Xu Youzhen said: "Lord Shi is gracious, and the old man understands it." As for the matter of Kelin's virtuous nephew, please rest assured, once the turmoil is settled, the virtuous nephew will not only be safe and sound, but will still be able to maintain the position for a long time in the future. ”

Xu Youzhen said this, Li Kelin was naturally extremely happy, so he said to Xu Youzhen: "If this can be the case, the little nephew is really grateful and loved." In the future, he will definitely regard Lord Xu as a reborn parent. ”

"The virtuous nephew is serious, the words are serious, it's just a trivial matter, and he doesn't work so much." Xu Youzhen said with a smile.

"No, no, no, if the nephew can worship Lord Xu as his godfather, Shi also has glory on his face, Shi feels that if Lord Xu doesn't dislike the rude and stupid nephew, he might as well accept the little nephew."

Hearing this, Li Kelin immediately opened his mouth to Xu Youzhen and begged for permission: "Lord Xu, the uncle of the younger generation also said the same, so I asked Lord Xu to accept this reluctant request of the younger generation." In the future, the younger generations will treat each other as fathers. ”

Hearing Li Kelin's words, Xu Youzhen smiled and said, "Since the virtuous nephew is so sincere, this matter is not unavoidable." ”

Li Kelin's face suddenly turned golden when he heard this, and he knew in his heart that if he worshiped this godfather, he would have a strong backer in the court in the future, and it would be just around the corner to rise to the top in the future.

Shi Heng was very happy to see that Xu Youzhen agreed to this, so that he and Xu Youzhen had a layer of in-law relationship, and with Xu Youzhen's Austrian aid, there would naturally be fewer people to do things in the court in the future, and it would be more convenient to act.

"Then thank you Lord Xu, if you can be safe this time, it is to thank Lord Xu for your help." Shi Heng spoke.

Xu Youzhen smiled slightly and said: "Things are gratifying, but for now, it's important to think about how to intercede with the emperor." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Shi Heng spoke: "What Lord Xu said is, but my nephew and I are both from martial arts, and we are very isolated from this dance and ink, so I still ask Lord Xu to catch a knife and write an article, Lord Xu is the holy hand of the article, if you get the help of Lord Xu, the emperor must be a quasi." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's praise, Xu Youzhen said: "If Lord Shi is so entrusted, how dare Xu refuse, or not, this article will be written by the old man when he walks, and after he finishes writing, please ask Kelinxian's nephew to transcribe it again, and then it can be submitted to the emperor." ”

Li Kelin was very knowledgeable, and climbed up the pole and said, "Thank you godfather for maintaining your godson so much." ”

When Xu Youzhen heard this, he opened his mouth with a smile and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, the current thing is not successful, how dare the old man take credit." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he said from the side: "Lord Xu doesn't have to be too humble, the emperor has always been obedient to Lord Xu, and no one in the court knows about this matter." ”

Xu Youzhen was praised by Shi Heng like this, so he opened his mouth and said: "Lord Shi laughed, where does the old man have the ability to influence the emperor, it's just that the saint knows people and is good." ”

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Shi Heng opened his mouth and said: "Lord Xu is too modest, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, don't I know this, the emperor can be said to have a lot of trust in Lord Xu." ”

As soon as Shi Heng finished speaking, Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and said, "Thanks to Lord Shi Heng's good words, there is no need to talk about it now." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he spoke: "What Lord Xu said is that things always come step by step, as long as the emperor can get by, things will be much easier." ”

Xu Youzhen said: "Yes, that's exactly what I said, if I want to pass in front of the emperor this time, I have to take it step by step." What's more, even if the emperor has a grace to come down, the disaster relief cannot be messed up, otherwise the emperor's face will not look good. ”

Hearing this, Shi Heng spoke: "What Lord Xu said is that these things are like this. ”

When Li Kelin heard this, he also said to Xu Youzhen: "Godfather, rest assured, as long as the emperor gives a grace to his godson to go to disaster relief, his godson will definitely make this mission beautiful, so as to earn face for his godfather." ”

Hearing this, Xu Youzhen deliberately pretended to be a black tiger and said: "It's not to earn face for me, but to earn face for the court and for the emperor." ”

Seeing Xu Youzhen's attitude, Li Kelin opened his mouth and said: "The lesson of the godfather is that the child's words are incorrect, and from the current situation, it seems that it is important to earn face for the court." ”

"Yes, yes, children can be taught, and the future of others must be limitless." Xu Youzhen opened his mouth and spoke.

After several people discussed the matter, Shi Heng took Li Kelin to leave the Xu Mansion.

The next day, Xu Youzhen sent someone to send the written piece to Shi Heng's mansion, and the servants in Shi Heng's mansion gave things to Shi Heng for a look, and Shi Heng summoned Li Kelin in the guest house.

Unpacking it in person, the two of them opened the chapter and read it once, there was no problem, so they ordered someone to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of the four treasures of the study, and Li Kelin copied Xu Youzhen's folded bottom with a wave.

After copying it, Shi Heng was very careful to take it and compare it, word for word, so he nodded and said: "Xu Youzhen, this old guy is still quite capable, if you let Uncle Wei write such sad love words, it will definitely not be written." ”

Li Kelin also smiled when he heard Shi Heng's words: "Uncle, you are from the army, but in terms of knowledge, you are much more powerful than many Wenchen in the court, Xu Youzhen's old horseman's literary scheming is not bad, but it is a pity that this person has no military power in his hands, and the emperor is still respectful to him now, if he and Cao Jixiang make a fuss in the future, Cao Jixiang is the first to get the moon near the water, and go to the emperor to tell a few words of right and wrong, I am afraid that this old man will not have such a prosperous curtain now." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he nodded and said: "What Kelin said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, these two people have not yet fought on the bright side, and the matter is fine, if there is a real fight between open guns and hidden arrows one day, Xu Youzhen, an old horseman, may not be able to fight Cao Jixiang in the palace." ”

"In that case, why did my uncle get so close to him." Li Kelin opened his mouth and spoke.

"You don't understand this, you are still far from the knowledge in the officialdom, learn from this uncle in the future." Shi Heng smiled slightly.

When Li Kelin heard this, he opened his mouth and asked: "What my uncle said is very true, and Kelin still has to learn more from my uncle about the way to be an official." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he nodded and said: "Kelin, you have to remember that officialdom pays attention to balance, and the most important word for an official is circle, and being round is the best way to be an official." ”

Li Kelin heard Shi Heng's words, so he spoke: "What my uncle taught me is that there is still some estrangement for Kelin as an official. ”

Shi Heng laughed and said, "You will understand these things in a few years." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, Li Kelin lowered his head and said: "What uncle meant, Li Kelin understands, uncle is saying that his nephew is not experienced enough. ”

Shi Heng nodded and said, "That's not bad, judging from the current situation, your experience is still a little worse, and it is difficult to be competent." ”

Li Kelin opened his mouth and said: "What my uncle said is very true, Li Kelin still needs to be sharpened and trained well, and I hope that one day I can reach my uncle's level." ”

Hearing Li Kelin's words, Shi Heng spoke: "This sounds quite promising, but from the current situation, you are still a little tender, if the emperor has a grace to ask you to go to disaster relief, how are you going to deal with it." ”
