Chapter 554: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
Zhang Jingyi ate the wine and then left the palace.
By this time, it was already overcast.
It was getting darker, and when he was in the palace, he still looked drunk, and it was strange to say that as soon as he left the palace, he was in good spirits.
The true meaning of drinking lies in performance, performance is an art, as long as you have the skills of old drama bones, you can be invincible after how many drinking venues.
On the contrary, honest people like the Emperor of the Apocalypse can't do it, they often pretend to be forced at the beginning, and pretend to be dead in the second half.
There was already a team of guards waiting outside, and Zhang Jing took the people and then set off to Fusi in Beizhen.
As soon as they saw Zhang Jing coming, the clerks and the military attache on duty immediately wanted to come to visit.
Zhang Jing waved his hand, and his heart was also full of joy at this time, thinking of the great changes that Rye's success would bring to the world, and he felt a sense of accomplishment at this time more than ever.
So he sat down in the hall, and then summoned Liu Yiqi, the servant.
Liu Yiqi came soon, stepped forward respectfully, and saluted: "Governor...... Eat drunk? β
Zhang Jing said: "Don't talk about these gossips first, I'll just ask you ......"
Saying that, Zhang Jingyi asked people to spread out the map of the capital, and then nodded in the direction depicted by Zhu Youzhen, and said: "Here, where are the people?" β
Liu Yiqi stepped forward obediently, he had been in the capital for decades, and he was indeed very sophisticated, just looking at it, he immediately said: "Here? There are several mansions here, one is the Marquis of Fengcheng...... Lee Seung-joo's mansion, but ...... This is his family's old home...... The people have long since moved to the new house, and the house here has long been abandoned. β
After a pause, he said: "There is another place, which is the right capital Yushi Zhao ......."
Before Liu Yiqi could continue, Zhang Jingyi shook his head and said, "I only said that the surname is Li." β
"Then this is the residence of Li Guo, a member of the current cabinet."
"Li Guo?" Zhang Jingyi's eyes narrowed, staring at this mansion deadly, there seemed to be a light circulating in his eyes, and he continued: "The scale of this mansion is not small! β
Liu Yiqi said: "His family was poor at the beginning, in his early years, his family was surrounded by walls, and after he became an official in the court, he was also clean on his sleeves, so during the Wanli period, the first emperor saw that he was incorruptible, so he gave him a mansion ......"
"Oh." Zhang Jing nodded: "Is he very honest?" β
Liu Yiqi said: "This is the truth, in the cabinet, when it comes to honesty and self-discipline, it may be this Li Gong." I heard that he even asked distant relatives to do it, if he hired someone else, the price was too high, and he couldn't afford to use it, and his sedan chair was not as good as the sedan chair of the Jiupin official. In his house, there are almost nothing of value, but there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings, but they are all gifts from some friends in the officialdom, which is not unusual. β
Zhang Jingyi frowned, feeling a little unbelievable, so he said, "What about Jinyiwei here, haven't you checked it?" β
Liu Yiqi smiled bitterly: "Factory guard, factory guard, isn't this factory guard an eagle dog?" If you don't have an order, go and check it yourself, this is okay, if you really find out something? β
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
Zhang Jing straightened his face: "What are these words, the reputation of the factory guard is so bad, that's why, eating and waiting for death all day long, what are you doing to eat, we are investigating hundreds of officials, we must have the appearance of detective." β
Liu Yiqi was startled, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's really a death to be humble, but even if you really go to investigate, this Li Gong's official reputation has always been very good, and it seems that he is indeed very honest, and he is really impeccable. β
Zhang Jing said: "Check him first, remember, don't startle the snake, I'm not retaliating, I just want to know what my first honest minister in the Ming Dynasty looks like." β
Saying that, Zhang Jingyi looked at Liu Yiqi with pity: "You won't have any collusion with people, and you will leak any news at that time, right?" β
Liu Yiqi was taken aback, now he is obedient to Zhang Jingyizhi, although it is not his turn to enter the military academy to study, and he still needs to wait for the third training class to go, but at this time, where does he dare to have any careful thoughts?
So he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Governor Mingjian, even if you dare to deceive your own father, you don't dare to deceive the governor." β
Zhang Jingyi didn't like his style.
But at the moment, there are really not many adjutants around, but it's a pity that his second brother Deng Jian ...... Haven't come back yet.
So Zhang Jing said: "That's good, I'm a person who listens to his words and watches his deeds, if he is really loyal, naturally you and I are a family, how I Zhang Jingyi treats my brothers, you can go and inquire." But if you dare to have other thoughts, then it is not family. β
"Yes, yes."
Since he had ordered the serious things to be done, Zhang Jingyi was a little tired at this time, so he yawned and said, "Okay, go and do it." β
With that, he went to the cottage to rest.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the duty, Li Guo returned home.
In the cabinet, because of the rye in Liaodong, Huang Liji was jubilant, and even Liu Hongxun praised Zhang Jingyi for his miraculous achievements.
But Li Guo still felt that something was not good.
But whether it was a taste or not, he soon began to rejoice again.
When he returned to the mansion, the porter said, "Master, Liu Yushi will meet you." β
This Liu Yushi, called Liu Chen, is Li Guo's protΓ©gΓ©, and he usually likes to come to Li Guo's mansion to walk around.
Li Guo also admires this person, so he can be regarded as his confidant.
Li Guo nodded to the porter and said, "See you in the small hall." β
After a while, Li Guo first went to the small hall to sit upright, and then took a sip of tea.
Then Liu Chen arrived, Liu Chen looked at Li Guo deeply, and said, "The student has seen Enfu." β
Li Guo smiled and said, "Okay, don't be polite, Ziyi, just sit down and talk." β
In this small hall, it is very simple, there is almost no superfluous decoration, that is, the tables and chairs, most of which are many years old, and the paint on them is mottled.
At this time, Liu Chen sat down and said with a little worry: "Today's court is in the middle of the court...... After the students saw that King Nashin had offered rye...... I was quite worried, so I came to see my teacher and asked him to solve my doubts. β
Li Guo said with interest: "Rye? This rye is a treasure for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is a great joy to offer it today, so why worry about it? β
Liu Chen glanced at Li Guo deeply before he said, "But...... That Zhang Jingyi is clearly not in harmony with his teacher, and now this Zhang Jingyi has made this great contribution, he, the king of Liaodong County, is not only more favored by His Majesty, but also Liaodong ...... In the future, it will be Saiwai Jiangnan, this Zhang family...... Isn't it double happiness? β
Li Guo took a sip of tea with a teacup, smiled and said: "These words, the old man does not agree, the old man is a cabinet scholar, personal honor and disgrace, it is really nothing, but should look at the world, if the people of the world can get the benefits of this rye, why not?" β
When Liu Chen heard this, his face turned slightly red, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Guo has long been like a mirror.
He was well aware...... At the level of his own, whenever someone sees a clue, someone will take the initiative to come to the door, hoping to share his worries.
Some people see that they and Zhang Jingyi are not on good terms, and those who are willing to be pawns for themselves will take the initiative to come to the door.
This is actually nothing, after all, a person like Liu Chen who is aspiring to rise to the top, his favorite thing to do is to stand in line, and if he can't be a gun in someone else's hand, he wants to create conditions and make this gun.
The reason is very simple, only by helping someone like Li Guo bite someone, can he be regarded as having a backer, and he will have the opportunity to soar into the sky in the future.
Seeing that Liu Chen was slightly disappointed, Li Guo was quite interested in this person, so he said: "The old man knows that you are worried about the old man, and he is afraid that Zhang Jingyi, a traitor, will kill the old man." But...... The old man told me the truth, if there was no rye, it would be fine, now that there is rye, this one is quiet...... will die. β
"Ah......" Liu Chen couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this: "What is the reason for this?" β
Li Guo said lightly: "One: Liaodong is no longer a bitter cold place, even if Your Majesty can tolerate the Zhangjia guard, can you rest assured?" Even if you are relieved today, what about him tomorrow? Without rye, Zhang Jingyi is the Mu family in Yunnan. With rye, he, Zhang Jingyi, will be Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo sooner or later. β
Liu Chen hesitated: "It's just that I see His Majesty and Zhang ......"
Li Guo shook his head: "The reason why it is a certain death situation is because in addition to this, there is a second point, once rye is promoted, the Zhang family occupies Liaodong, how much land does it control in their hands?" That's tens of millions of acres, and even more than these! There are many people in the customs and few places, the gentry in this world, as well as the families of those ministers, in order to get a piece of land, which one is not searching for intestines and stomachs, thinking day and night? Now that this day-old fat is in front of you, who is willing to let the Zhang family go? Unless he Zhang Jingyi invites the gentry of the world to his Liaodong, everyone will share a piece of the pie, otherwise, so many people will be red and eyeing each other. β
"The Zhang family is in Liaodong for a day, everyone will be red for a day, and it is impossible to get a piece of land from Liaodong. A gentry, a minister, is nothing, but what about thousands? This elephant is terrifying, but ...... Tens of millions of ants can also bite elephants to death. β
After hearing this, Liu Chen suddenly realized: "The teacher is high-minded. β
"It's not a high opinion." Li Guo said with a smile: "In fact, it's just a matter of being happy alone and not being happy with everyone, if the Zhang family is smarter, it will be easier to do." But this Zhang Jingyi is the most greedy, forgetting his righteousness for profit, how can he be willing to share a piece of the pie with others? That's why the old man doesn't worry about ......"
After hearing this, Liu Chen immediately said: "Where can he, Zhang Jingyi, be as indifferent to fame and fortune as his teacher?" If he was as good as his teacher, why would he be so infamous and reviled today? β
Li Guo smiled again and said: "Fame and fortune are just floating clouds for me, and the most precious thing in the world is your own name, not your wealth." β
