Chapter 838: Li Da Wronged
Li You said a word, and Li Qinzai immediately knew his intention.
The chief examiner of the imperial examination, although he is only a clear arithmetic subject, Li Qinzai also has a very heavy weight in it.
After the news spread, the magnates of the major families came to the door to give gifts, Li Qinzai had to close the door to thank the guests, obviously Li Youdao in front of him was one of the guests who came to the door, but he ate a closed door soup in Ganjingzhuang, and then he found out Li Qinzai's whereabouts, and specially waited for him on the avenue outside the city.
Li Qinzai knew what he was coming for.
Li Zhina, Li Qinzai's advice, this year's scientific examination plans to increase the number of scholars in the Ming Mathematics Department by 50.
Don't underestimate these fifty places, throwing them into the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty is nothing, but for the family, if you can install fifty places into the court, no matter which family is a huge new force.
Think about it, once there is any state controversy in the court, and 50 officials suddenly stand up and speak out, the influence on national policy, the transfer of personnel, and so on, 50 officials can play a huge role.
Of course, these fifty places cannot be swallowed by a certain family alone, and it is simply unrealistic.
Since it is the interests in front of them, there will definitely be scramble, and when they can't be monopolized, the major families will also secretly collude behind their backs, and after reaching an agreement on mutual assistance, they will work together to swallow these fifty places.
Li Qinzai probably understood what Li Youdao meant, but he didn't know if this was the idea of the Li family in Zhaojun, or if the major families had reached an agreement, and then let Li Youdao come forward to lobby.
"I don't know that Li Shaoqing is waiting for me outside the city today to ......" Li Qinzai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he went straight to the point.
Li Youdao said with a smile: "I came here to make friends with Li Xianhou, and it is really presumptuous to block Li Xianhou's way, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I'm timid, just now you and a group of people stopped in front of me, I thought someone robbed the road, so scared that I almost planned to report to Dali Temple......"
Li Youdao pointed to his nose and laughed: "I am the official of Dali Temple, and the Hou Baoguan of Li County doesn't have to go too far." ”
After a few jokes, Li Youdao pointed to the side of the road and said, "It's a bit rude for us to stop in the middle of the road and talk, why don't you ask Li Xianhou to move and go to the side of the road to talk in detail?" ”
Li Qinzai looked at the side of the road and found that two square things had already been set up on the flat ground on the side of the road, and flannel cloth had been laid on them.
Come prepared, take a good time.
Li Qinzai smiled, walked over, and sat on the square platform.
The buttocks were just next to each other, but they were stopped by Li Youdao, and said with a smile: "Li Xianhou is slow, these two boxes are not for sitting." ”
As he spoke, Li Youdao lifted the flannel cloth spread on it, revealing two wooden boxes under the flannel.
The wooden box is very large, and looking at the lacquer and color on it, it should be made of red sandalwood.
These two boxes alone are worth a lot of money.
Li Youdao opened the lid of the box, and the pupils of Li Qinzai's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The jewels in the box were very dazzling, on the top were two tusks as white as jade, and below were piles of gems of various colors on a hill, Li Youdao opened the piles of gems, and under the gems were countless pearls, corals, and gold.
Li Qinzai was stunned, and his breathing couldn't help but become rapid.
Although he was born in the Guogong Mansion, Li Qinzai has never seen so many treasures in his life.
Kneeling in front of the box and respectfully calling it an ancestor, isn't it too much?
Li Qinzai almost wanted to kneel, making money, not chilling.
Li Youdao saw his expression in his eyes, smiled slightly, and then opened another box.
The other box was also unremarkable, still a pile of valuable treasures, many of which Li Qinzai couldn't even name, but just looking at their appearance, he felt that they must be very valuable.
"These ...... Sent to me? Li Qinzai stuttered a little.
You can't blame yourself for not being angry, it's really someone else who gives too much......
Li Youdao said with a smile: "Of course it's for you, if Li Xianhou feels that it's not enough, you can still discuss." ”
Li Qinzai immediately said: "Friends are valuable in making friends, I never care if he has money or not, because the friends I make are richer than me......"
"Since Li Shaoqing is so gracious, if I refuse, it will be hypocritical...... Okay, you're just giving gifts, I'm just just receiving gifts, you give gifts, you get my friendship, and I, get gifts......"
Li Youdao's smile gradually stiffened.
The style of painting seems to be a bit off......
"Uh, Li Xianhou, I want to give you a gift, of course I ask for something......" Li Youdao racked his brains to organize the wording.
Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Li Shaoqing, if you give a gift, you will give a gift, if you make friends, you and I know each other, in addition, don't get involved in anything, otherwise this friend will not be pure, this is a great blasphemy against your friendship." ”
Saying that, Li Qinzai clapped his hands and said loudly: "Ah Si, come a few people, carry the box away for me, smile, smile!" ”
Then Li Qinzai bowed to Li Youdao and sighed: "A good man has a safe life, thank you Li Shaoqing for your generous gift, I'm not welcome, say goodbye, I have a chance to meet again, I have a treat." ”
Li Youdao stood in place with a confused face, and when he saw Liu Assi and the others stepping forward, they had already lifted the two big boxes, Li Youdao woke up like a dream, pressed the boxes tightly, glared at Li Qinzai, and said: "Li Xianhou, if you leave like this today, it will be a great blasphemy against me." ”
Li Qinzai pretended to be angry: "Li Shaoqing, don't make trouble, I haven't touched you, where did I blaspheme you?" I'm not good at this, Dali Temple Shaoqing can't create an unjust case. ”
Turning to glare at Liu Asi and the others, Li Qinzai said angrily: "What are you doing? Move quickly, don't you see people going to regret it? ”
Liu Ah Si and the others immediately lifted the box, and Li Youdao didn't care about decency, so the whole person threw himself on the box, and glared at Li Qinzai in shock and anger.
I didn't expect this product to be so unsophisticated, do you really think that such a valuable gift is given for free? Just to make you a friend? Is this thing so shameless on weekdays?
"Li Xianhou, let's talk first, how about moving after chatting? Just a few words, just a few words! Li You said urgently.
"You can't do things that violate public order and good customs, what is public order and good customs? It is public order and good customs to accept gifts first, and then chat, Li Shaoqing, get out of the way, I will accept the gifts first, let's talk again. ”
Li Youdao didn't dare to get out of the way.
Originally, he was full of confidence to stop Li Qinzai on the way, according to the rules of the game in the world, people agreed, and the gift was naturally given without distress, if they didn't agree, they would consciously refuse this generous gift.
But after meeting Li Qinzai, Li Youdao suddenly realized that this thing didn't look like a person who abided by the rules of the game.
If he really let go and let him move the gift away, Li Youdao dared to swear to the sky that he would not admit the account after receiving the gift, and in the end the gift was received and nothing was done.
Do I look like a pure injustice?
