Chapter 106: Jealousy
When Liang Hongzheng was talking to his third grandfather and eating vegetables, Jia Jun, the magistrate of Hui County, led some gentry from Hui County over and met Liang Hong as a familiar face.
Then as if it had been agreed, the magistrate of which county brought the gentry of which county over and toasted Liang Hong.
Those gentry naturally held their glasses, and a glass of wine was dry, but Liang Hong just sipped a little, so that those gentry were still happy as if they were something.
After all, these gentry are all gentry in the county and township, and they can also be said to be squires, and the gentry in big cities such as the capital, which are naturally different.
Liang Hong could also guess that the banquet upstairs was not the handiwork of Jia Jun, the county magistrate.
It must be the money paid by these gentry and the field of the package.
Why, do these gentry look like a "wronged man"?
In fact, this is not a big deal, this is a very shrewd business.
Imagine when talking to outsiders or talking about business, I said casually: "I know Liang Hong, and I am right to the Liang Hong who almost destroyed the Yan Kingdom with his own strength, and now his official position is ......."
How big will it be? It speaks for itself.
Besides, I am familiar with Liang Hong, maybe there will be a place to ask Liang Hong in the future, and when I see Liang Hong, at least there is a common topic, maybe people will help.
Of course, the chances of helping are small, but there is always one, and it will make the squires pay some.
What's more, the banquet in the private restaurant is still made up by many gentry, so what's the matter, everyone shares it evenly and puts it on themselves, and there is not much money.
So why not? There is no harm in yourself!
Liang Hong eats other people's short mouths, and if people want to come to toast, he naturally can't stop it.
So one by one, they received their toasts.
After eating this banquet, Liang Hong was already full of wine and food, drunk, and let people support his third grandfather Liang Yuan, and walked to the house arranged by Jia Jun, the magistrate of Hui County, to temporarily settle down.
And Zhang Tingyan, who has been very low-key recently, was at this time after Liang Hong turned around, and he was originally the same as the gentry officials on the table, all of them were smiling, and after Liang Hong turned around, Zhang Tingyan's eyes suddenly flashed a fierce color.
……
Originally, according to the laws of Dakang, all officials, passing through the place, were only allowed to stay in post houses.
Of course, after more than 200 years, many of these systems are no longer suitable for the present, or are marginalized and formalized, and no one cares too much.
Therefore, Nazhi County talked about a big mansion prepared for Liang Hong at the wine table, and let Liang Hong temporarily settle down, Liang Hong didn't say anything, and nodded directly in agreement.
Of course, Liang Hong was naturally very concerned about the soldiers who went south with him, and Jia Jun, the magistrate of the county, also said that they had made reasonable arrangements, and he also told Liang Hong that he also lived in the courtyards of several mansions.
Of course, those big courtyards are not as good as Liang Hong's.
Liang Hong was really drunk, and when he arrived at this big mansion, he naturally didn't have time to see how big the mansion was and how beautiful it was, and after personally arranging the residence of the third grandfather, he came to his own residence directly under the leadership of his subordinates, and then fell asleep.
Unbeknownst to him, two beautiful looking women followed him into the house, and then loosened their clothes for him......
What Liang Hong didn't know was that in the big mansion where he slept, there was another small courtyard, and it was Zhang Tingyan who housed this small courtyard.
Zhang Tingyan was in this mansion, which was obviously much smaller than the courtyard where Liang Hong was, at this time, on a desk, laying out the folds, and writing on them.
He held the pen and wrote more seriously, and this piece of music was relatively long, so it was not until about half a column of incense that he finished writing this piece.
As soon as he put down the brush and stretched, there was a knock on the door outside.
Zhang Tingyan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, he looked at the fold on the table, the handwriting on the fold was not dry, he took the fold around trying to find a place to hide, but looked back and forth in the house, the room was very simple, and there was no place to hide, he suddenly saw the bottom of the bed, and was ready to hide the fold under the bed, but then the knock on the door sounded again.
He thought that he could not fail to answer in the room, so he walked softly to the side of the bed, as if he had just been woken up, and his mouth was filled with a sleepy voice: "Who? ”
He had just reached the bedside, and was about to bend down to shove it under the bed.
A small voice suddenly came from outside: "My lord, it's me, Hou Qi." ”
Zhang Tingyan, who was bending down to put the fold in his hand under the bed, was slightly stunned when he heard this familiar voice, and then stood up, and the fold in his hand was not stuffed under the bed, but directly took it and put it on the table.
He also complained softly, "You scared me to death, I thought ......" He opened the door as he spoke.
As soon as he opened it, he saw that it was Hou Qi standing outside, and Hou Qi was wearing a night suit.
Letting Hou Qi come in, Zhang Tingyan asked casually: "You are dressed like this, how did you come in?" ”
Hou Qi, who was dressed in night clothes, was a man who looked more than 1.7 meters tall, with a slender face, like a horse's face, and a lot of freckles on it.
Then he said carefully: "How else can I come, of course, I jumped over the wall." But as soon as he spoke, his whole face, the face with many freckles, freckles surging back and forth, looked very funny.
"Look at what you said, it seems to be very relaxed, after all, this house is Liang Hong's resting place, and the officials of the entire Weihui Mansion are stammering him, you better be careful." Zhang Tingyan felt that he should remind him a little, don't end up capsizing in the gutter and everything will stop.
Horse-faced Hou Qi smiled and said, "Understood! But speaking of which, it's similar to this house, don't say that I, Hou Qi, am a hundred Jinyi Wei households, even a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi can come and go easily. ”
After showing off proudly, Hou Qi said again: "How about my lord, have you written your recital this time?" It's really strange that a great hero like Liang Hong has a heart of disobedience, what a pity! ”
"Nothing to worry about." Zhang Tingyan said with a cold face, "From his words at the graves of the fallen soldiers, although he deliberately didn't let me go that night, I still heard some of his words afterwards.
Those words, was it said by him, a Hanlin Academy who was no more than a six-grade cultivator? What else does the self-proclaimed 'my soldier' and 'my soldier' want to do, a civilian official, who calls himself like this? Abundantly clear! ”
Horse-faced Hou Qi said: "But having said that, we have no substantive evidence after all." ”
"What other evidence do you need, you Jinyiwei don't have rumors, as long as you let the saint know that this Liang Hong has a heart of disobedience, even if you can't move him for a while, you will always let the saint understand that this Liang Hong is not a loyal minister!" Zhang Tingyan said sympathetically.
"Yes, too." Horse-faced Hou Qi touched his pockmarked face, responded like this, and then asked, "My lord, didn't you say that another piece of exposing Liang Hong will be written today?" Is it written now? I quickly took it back and sent it to Beijing. ”
Zhang Tingyan immediately picked up the fold on the table, then put it in a sealed bag, and carefully handed it to Hou Qi, Hou Qi took the clothes in his arms, and was about to leave, but Zhang Tingyan grabbed his arm and told him seriously:
"Hou Baihu, you must not lose it, there is a second assistant standing behind that person, once you are not careful, not only the official is unlucky, but you Hou Baihu will also not be able to eat and walk around!"
When Hou Qi heard this, he was a little impatient, but he knew that Zhang Tingyan was telling the truth, so he also said: "I know, I know, we are always grasshoppers on a rope, okay, okay, I can go now, right?" ”
Zhang Tingyan then put down Hou Qi's clothes, Hou Qi opened the door and quickly hid in the dark.
And Zhang Tingyan looked at the figure of Hou Qi who disappeared in the dark, and let out a long sigh, he admitted that he was indeed jealous of Liang Hong's credit.
Why, why did a kid who was not more than the age of a weak crown make such a contribution!
He also made his own trebuchet, so young, he made Shi Mao, the former chief military officer of Datong Town, bow down to him and be respectful!
I just can't see it! I'm going to him! Why, why is he conscientious in the imperial court, mixed for more than ten years, or a seven-grade petty official, this time when he returns to Beijing, he will be promoted by one level at most, and this Liang Hong is afraid that he will be promoted several levels.
Hurry up and join the ranks of several people in the center of the imperial court!
Yes, I am jealous. But what Liang Hong did later was indeed suspicious. The few memoranda I wrote to expose him are also truthful, but, hey, with these few memoranda, at least in the saint, Liang Hong can't be Jian in the emperor's heart, maybe he will return it, hehe, hehe......
Zhang Tingyan thought of this, and there was a sad smile in his heart.
Then, he looked at the night outside, and recalled in his heart how he had contacted Hou Qi of Jinyiwei in Yanjing.
He knew Hou Qi, when he was in Jingshi in the past, Jingshi City had not yet been broken by the Wuzhen coalition army, and at that time, he knew through some things that this Hou Qi was a spy in the Jinyi Guard.
This time, after Liang Hong made that great achievement, Zhang Tingyan thought about pulling Liang Hong down, and heard some of Liang Hong's words in front of the grave of the dead soldier, Zhang Tingyan felt that this was an opportunity.
So he took a lot of effort to find Hou Qi, a secret agent of Jinyi Wei in Beijing.
said to Hou Qi: "I want to pull Liang Hong down, but Hou Baihu, as soon as you are a hundred households in Jinyiwei, you have the right to hear about it, and you can report the matter of Liang Hong to the saint when I tell you."
Second, you don't want to rely on a big credit, and now, stepping on Liang Hong's top position, isn't it a big credit?
No matter how bad it is, you step on Liang Hong and report these deeds to the saint Liang Hong, he is not in the emperor's heart, so can't you be in the emperor's heart? ”
