Master Li! My lord is invited! ”

As soon as he came out of Xuande Gate, Li Kui was stopped, and he was a middle-aged man, not dressed luxuriously, but there was a kind of stability in his demeanor, if he didn't speak, no one would think that a person with such a bearing would be a slave.

Obviously, the owner of the other party is a person with status.

Looking back at Ruan Xiaoer, this guy swallowed saliva at the shop that sold meatloaf.

Li Kui raised his eyelids, and he didn't have to look at people squarely, and said quite unhappily: "Who! Such a big spectrum? ”

"My lord is the secretary of the criminal department."

The person who came was neither humble nor arrogant, and it seemed that he was not displeased because of Li Kui's neglect, but as if he hadn't heard Li Kui's words at all, and his tone and attitude were still the same. Obviously, the cultivation is also good, and it is much better than the people in Li Kui's family.

The book of the criminal department?

This can't be Xing Shu, right?

Li Kui didn't want to see Xing Shu at all, this guy is a traitorous minister, and he should be a capable minister no matter how he says, right?

It's not that he doesn't want to be a loyal minister, it's just that the difficulty is too high to do it.

Also, the conditions do not allow it.

The little emperor Zhao Xu, although he is in better health now, has congenital deficiencies. Li Kui thought about it for a long time before he remembered that Zhao Xu seemed to be dying of illness because of his only son, and his body plummeted, which was a matter of mentality. But Li Kui can't complain about Zhao Xu's bad mentality, whose child dies young, but will be happy? Isn't that a madman?

And let him save Zhao Xu's little son, don't be stupid, he can't even catch medicine, how can he have the ability to treat a very incurable infant emergency in any era?

Therefore, Li Kui never thought about holding the emperor's thigh and not letting go. No one can guarantee how long the emperor will live.

As for Xing Shu wanting to see him, there was only one reason. I'm afraid this one will hug his thighs and hug the emperor's thighs. Although the official of the Criminal Department is not small, among the six departments, it is not embarrassing or embarrassing. The six saddest parts of the Great Song Dynasty must be the military department. The duties of the continuous training of non-commissioned officers were taken away by the front division of the palace, and the responsibility of manufacturing ordnance was taken away by the Ministry of Works, not to mention commanding the war.

But the Criminal Department is not much better than the Military Department.

Even a book, the real authority is not as big as that of the four products.

Obviously, Xing Shu is not satisfied with being the secretary of the criminal department, and wants to tie up with the emperor's thoughts.

And Xing Shu has a very bad reputation, he always likes to hide behind and come up with poison schemes, he has to share the credit, and he can't take the risk, this kind of goods, Li Kui can see the hell. As soon as the upper and lower mouths touched, Li Kui opened his mouth and made Xing Shu's henchman half angry: "I don't know." ”

"You ......"

That is, respecting Li Kui, he shouted Master Li, and Xing Shu said that he was also a scholar, a high-ranking official from the second grade. Although the position is high, the power is not heavy, and it is not enough to whisper to Li Kui, the young man.

When Shaofu was in the Qin and Han dynasties, he was still a very good official.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, eight pins.

There is always a way for the Great Song Dynasty to turn the official position that sounded very high and high in the Great Song Dynasty to become very low-end. But you can't blame the Great Song Dynasty, the title of the main Shaofu was rotten in the Tang Dynasty, and it was generally used to call the county lieutenant. It can be seen that this official position is small enough, right?

This is also a dispatch officer that can only be obtained by newcomers to officialdom. From the high-ranking officials of the second rank, they are polite to the Shaofu of the eighth grade, even if they are slaves in the house, I am afraid that they have to take care of the reputation of the mansion and put up a shelf, right?

After Li Kui finished speaking, he took Ruan Xiaoer to the Imperial Boxing Gym, he recently spent money to buy off the steward eunuch of the Shangqi Academy, got a good horse, and was practicing riding, but he didn't want to be delayed.

"Li Zhimi!"

Although Xing Shu sent his cronies to invite Li Kui, what he didn't expect was that Li Kui still didn't give face.

But Xing Shu is not a person who is too embarrassed, kneeling and licking Brother Gao Gonghua, he has also done it, kneeling and licking the eldest king was kicked, Wang Anshi didn't want to see him, and he didn't let him be discouraged. Anyway, he is a person with perseverance, and when he saw Li Kui turning his head to leave, he immediately chased after the rich coachman.

"I've seen the book of punishment."

It's okay to slap Xing Shu's slave in the face, but Xing Shu came up from the high-ranking officials of the second rank and stopped him, if Li Kui didn't even talk about the rules, if he committed the following crimes, there would definitely be a copy of the imperial history of the Taiwan admonition.

Speaking of which, Xing Shu's official position is very bluffing, but he doesn't even have a bachelor's post, which is the same thing in the court. It can be seen that no matter whether it is Sima Guang or Zhang Dian, they don't trust him very much.

Xing Shu got out of the carriage with the support of the servant, and smiled kindly, as if he was not angry at all because Li Kui did not give face just now. Instead, he enthusiastically took Li Kui's hand and praised him vigorously: "Li Zhimi's article is earth-shattering, and he breaks the shortcomings of my dynasty in one sentence; The palace tried the Xiongwen, shocked everyone, the old man had a lot of insights after reading it, I don't know if Li Zhimi can give the old man a chance to communicate? ”

Li Kui looked at Xing Shu in surprise, if he wanted to say shameless, he used to think that Hao Sui should be shameless enough, obviously he was a eunuch, even if he married a daughter-in-law, he had to take a concubine.

But he found that the civil officials were shameless, it was really shameless, and they didn't even want bones.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Li Kui was pulled into the thief car by Xing Shu.

The reason why he said that he was stealing a car was because Li Kui always felt that Xing Shu was holding back his bad intentions and wanted to harm him. He is a petty official with the highest grade from the seventh grade, when will he be able to let the Shangshu from the second grade hold hands and talk freely?

Also, the handles are disgusting.

But the problem is that this kind of gesture of friendship is very popular in the Great Song Dynasty. When Li Kui saw the scene of Su Shi and Fan Chunren holding hands in Yingzhou, he was frightened by trachoma.

Two old men, wouldn't it be nice to do something else?

When this kind of thing happened to him, Li Kui had a kind of horror that the hairs on his back stood up, and he secretly broke free, and the latter didn't care, thinking that it was hot.

Especially Li Kui is tall and big, and the original carriage space of Xing Shu is very spacious to accommodate him, even if there are many people, it will not be crowded. But Li Kui's figure also made him feel a lot of pressure. The carriage turned around into a small alley in the city, and although Li Kui said that he did not go out to be vassal, he had also heard that this was a meeting place for literati in the capital.

When the poem is opposed, other Jinshi will try their best to make it up to the literary meeting of high-ranking officials, but Li Kui will not.

Poetry solitaire is too terrifying for him, and he may be the one with the worst level of poetry in the first year of Shaosheng.

Xing Shu did not invite someone to accompany him, but invited a famous singer in the capital to sing two new songs, and when he saw that Li Kui was not interested, he waved his hand and let people go down. He looked at Li Kui for a while, and suddenly asked, "Li Zhimi, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Guess!"

The wine glass raised by Xing Shu suddenly stopped in mid-air, he knew that Li Kui was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that Li Kui would be so rampant. Xing Shu suppressed the anger in his heart and still didn't change his face.

I really have no one to talk to, so I thought about contacting the emperor through Li Kui.

Why don't you use your official position as a second rank to meet the emperor in private?

There was really no private matter in the palace, and it was known to others in a blink of an eye. At that time, the emperor did not stammer, and it was not good to attract the dissatisfaction of Zhang Dian and others. Speaking of which, Xing Shu is already an official position from the second rank, and further, he is an important minister such as a privy envoy. Isn't this a clear attempt to drive Li Qingchen and the others away, and he will come from behind?

"Hahaha, Li Zhimi is really funny, they all say that Zhimi is a funny person, and now the old man can be regarded as having seen Li Zhimi's true temperament, speaking of which, the old man is also a person in temperament, you and I are like old friends at first sight, like old friends for many years. The old man called you a good person? ”

"Shang Shu is free!"

Li Kui was stunned, this Xing Shu wants to recognize his brother with him?

If these words continue, I'm afraid it will be a year-old friend, and the brothers are commensurate.

Li Kui didn't want to call Xing Shu a brother, besides, many of this guy's brothers don't stick a knife in his back. Li Kui already had the intention of going, but he left the table angrily, and he didn't know what Xing Shu would do, so he simply listened to what he said: "Xing Shangshu, you and I don't want to play dumb riddles." I, Li Kui, am just a petty official with a humble status. You are a dignified second-class courtier. When you see me, most of the time it is to make the lower officials embarrassed, if it is really embarrassing, please don't say it. Li Kui said goodbye! ”

"Li Zhimi, have you ever seen that the post is a second-grade member to be systematized?"

Xing Shu pointed to his nose and sneered at Li Kui: "The old man is, this is humiliating the old man, the old man has worked hard for the court for many years, in exchange for such a result, the old man is not convinced." As for Li Zhimi, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Li Qingchen's popularity is extremely small, and you have made him unhappy many times, and his suppression may come soon. ”

"Suppression?"

Li Kui didn't have the slightest awareness of being targeted by the big guy, but felt that Li Qingchen wouldn't be so tasteless, right?

From the privy envoy of the first grade, bullying the direct secret pavilion from the seventh grade, but if you want to make a face, I'm afraid you won't be able to do such a tasteless thing. And it just so happens that Li Qingchen still wants to be the one who wants to nod face.

Xing Shu saw the suspicion on Li Kui's face, and didn't seem to believe what he said, so he leaned closer and said: "Renjie, the old man is helping you, of course, although the old man can make a move at a critical time, he also needs your help." ”

"This old liar actually tricked me!"

Li Kui secretly said in his heart, help you at any critical time, this is all a liar's method, wait until Li Kui has no use value, and then kick Li Kui away. This kind of thing, can Li Kui let him succeed?

Pretending to be surprised, Li Kui sat down and said to himself, "Demean me? ”

When Xing Shu heard Li Kui's words, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood in anger. You are an eight-grade Shaofu, plus a post from the seventh grade, degrading you, where can you belittle? Li Kui was like a mirror in his heart, this was Xing Shu drugging him! Can he be kissed by Xing Shu on the nose?

Xing Shu also wondered, Li Kui is not easy to coax. In the past, the new branch jinshi was like a stupid robe in the officialdom, so that he, an old courtier, couldn't find the north in a flicker. Why is this guy Li Kui so difficult to deal with.

Just raised you two sentences, really do you want to be a character?

But Li Kui finally had the heart to talk to Xing Shu, this person didn't dare to deliberately take Li Kui away, and sat down with Li Kui, with a meal table in between, but he could reach it. Xing Shu's tone was softened, and he couldn't wait to dig out his heart and say sincerely: "Renjie, you should know that there is a saying in officialdom called Mingsheng and Secret Descent. ”

"But I don't care!"

Li Kui's words are really not said casually, the rise and fall are useful to others. It was of no use to Li Kui.

The Straight Secret Pavilion is a post, and even the Pavilion has been occupied by the author. As for the official position of the Shaofu, he has become a loose official who is not much better than a loose official. Nominally speaking, Li Kui has no power at all. Only the Taishi Bureau is a bit large, but this is a technical department, and civil officials and military generals look down on the officials of the Taishi Bureau.

A director who can be the leader of the eighth grade, it is strange that he can be valued.

What's more, to build a big clock, others are not as suitable as Li Kui. Therefore, if Li Kui is promoted, the scope of his responsibilities will not change, but he can increase his salary, benefits, and official position...... Where can I find such good things? Li Kui rubbed his hands excitedly and said in surprise: "Lord Xing, what kind of official did you say the teacher would arrange for me?" If it is the seventh grade, it is not considered a bright rise and a dark fall, it is almost the same. Anyway, it should be from six or above, right? ”

In less than three months, Zhongjinshi had to move from Liupin. Li Kui felt that there was nothing wrong with it, this was the treatment that had caught up with the champion.

Although it is not realistic to be a Beijing official from the sixth grade, being a general judge of a state can also make Li Kui satisfied.

Xing Shu was a little bit waxy, it was useless to threaten, Li Kui was stupid and bold, which made Xing Shu, who had countless means, helpless. This guy is either really stupid, or he is pretending to be stupid.

Xing Shu leans towards the latter, is he really stupid to be a jinshi?

But if you pretend to be stupid, it will not be easy for Xing Shu. If you use those means that can't be put on the table, I'm afraid that Li Kui can pretend to be stupid enough to leave, so that all his plans will fail.

Xing Shu is also a decisive person, and immediately revealed the thoughts in his heart: "Renjie, I won't tell you that the system of the imperial court, the left and right scholars and servants are the left and right prime ministers. But Zhang Xiang was unwilling to govern with Su Zhe, and this Shangshu left servant shot was still empty. The old man has been fond of this for a long time, but unfortunately he has not had the opportunity to show loyalty to the official family. As long as the virtuous nephew helps, within three years, the old man will try his best to push you to the position of secretary and young eunuch. ”

This is an exchange, it stands to reason that when it comes to this part, Li Kui should weigh it and make a statement.

But dealing with Xing Shu, how could Li Kui believe it, he chattered: "Secretary and young eunuch, this is an official position from Wupin." If you can get it within three years, Xia Guan will have to fight for his life. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

After speaking, Li Kui shook his head at Xing Shu.

Xing Shu frowned, except that he didn't have a good personality and liked to hug his thighs, he didn't have anything to be pinched, right? Why did Li Kui look at him like he was looking at a moldy star, which made people wonder through?

Li Kui quickly uncovered the puzzle and said heavily to Xing Shu: "Xing Shangshu, others have a chance, but you don't have a chance. ”

"Why is that?"

Xing Shu's face changed suddenly, and he pondered that if that secret matter was known to the emperor, I am afraid that he would not want to live in peace in this life. Not to mention being an official, if you don't send a trip to Salmon Island, it's already a lot of luck.

Li Kui leaned close to Xing Shu and said, "If the name is not right, Your Majesty's mother and son have been resentful of you for a long time!" If you want to gain Your Majesty's trust, you can only atone for your sins. This skill, if the lower officials don't say it, I'm afraid they also know about it, right? ”

As he spoke, cold sweat came out of Xing Shu's forehead, as if it was smeared with a layer of crystal clear sand and reflected the light.

When Li Kui left, Xing Shu scolded resentfully: "The brothers of the Gao family are really waste!" Such a secret thing actually sold the idea, old man...... I can't wait to kick these two balls to death. ”

Xing Shu just wants to be a strategist who makes suggestions behind the scenes and gets some benefits by the way. Unexpectedly, these two brothers sold him. It was his idea to make the emperor's biological mother a concubine. If the emperor knew, he would have to swallow him alive.
