Chapter 419: The old man is not such a person at all
Adult, spare me, the villain will never dare again! ”
Gary lay on the ground, like a dog with a broken backbone, and crawled to Xing Shu with all his might, hugging Xing Shu's thigh, begging for mercy.
Gary is like this, Rao is Xing Shu is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and his bearing has been cultivated to the thickness of the city wall, and he has also changed color. What Xing Shu was most afraid of still happened.
Xing Shu pointed at Gary and scolded angrily, "What did you do to my virtuous brother? ”
"Spare your life!"
Where did Gary figure it out, he originally thought that Li Kui had no backstage, and the strongest was just a friend of the commander of the forbidden army. wanted to squeeze some oil and water out of Li Kui, but he didn't expect Li Kui to really have a backstage, and the backstage was so hard that he couldn't afford to offend at all. The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is Li Kui's backstage, why don't you say this thing that lacks virtue and smokes?
As long as Li Kui said that he knew the Shangshu of the Criminal Department......
Gary won't believe it!
What to do, what to do.
It's not that Gary is bold, but if Li Kui has a friendship with Xing Shu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, it is impossible to send a few forbidden troops to the prison of the Criminal Department. It is more likely that Xing Shu appointed his cronies in the yamen to send them in person. If that's the case, if you really eat the bear-hearted leopard, Gary won't dare to send Li Kui to death row.
Fortunately, Gary is still a little bottom, and Li Kui did not suffer in the death row.
But the problem is that an ordinary prisoner is sent to death row. It's not in accordance with the rules in the first place, so it's okay if you don't check it up, and if you check it up, Gary won't be able to escape the relationship.
"Fuck off! Dog's eyes look at people low......"
Yu Hou, who was beside Xing Shu, saw that his master was embarrassed, and kicked Gary away. I don't blame Xing Shu, any old man who has no power to tie the chicken, is hugged by a young and strong man, and he has to stop cooking. Relying on Xing Shu himself, he couldn't break free at all.
As for Yu Hou?
said that it was Yu Hou, but in fact, they were all martial artists with martial arts, and they couldn't join the army, so they could only take refuge in the powerful.
Speaking of which, it is about the same as the status of the chief of the guard next to the high-ranking official, the elite dog leg of the dog's leg. The executives above the third grade in the capital are basically raised by a few.
Gao Yu watched Xing Shu act, if he hadn't been an official and hadn't messed around in front of the emperor, he would have stupidly thought that Xing Shu was a good old guy. But when he became familiar with the set of methods used by civil officials to invite people to buy people's hearts, he only had disdain in his heart, this old guy is too chicken thief, and he didn't forget to clear up his involvement at this time, who to show it?
Of course, Xing Shu wanted to show Li Kui, showing that he didn't know at all.
But the problem is that he is the secretary of the Criminal Department, even if the process of forcing the palace is unpredictable, it is not difficult to arrange someone to answer in the Criminal Department, right? This old guy is also a scheming old yin man, but he has no such preparation at all, and he has to make people think deeply.
In addition, Xing Shu's character has always been criticized, and he is a model of no bottom line and no discipline, which confirms Xing Shu's treacherous plan to monopolize the credit and kill Li Kui.
Xing Shu couldn't say it, he didn't dare to kill Li Kui at all, and he had the idea of swallowing the benefits by himself.
He had this idea of eating alone, but the problem was that Li Kui was an indispensable person. It was precisely because of Li Kui's appearance that Xing Shu was able to coordinate Su Zhe, Fan Chunren and others remained silent; At the same time, Li Kui also communicated with Zhang Dian and others, although Li Qingchen did not like Li Kui very much, but the problem was that Li Qingchen would rather believe in Li Kui, who had an upright personality, and not far from believing in Xing Shu, who was generally undisciplined and undisciplined.
This embarrassed Xing Shu.
If Li Kui dies in the prison of the Criminal Department, he will immediately be trampled to death by conservatives and reformers because of the negligence of the prison of the Criminal Department. Even forcing the palace to the queen mother and giving Concubine Zhu the credit of being the queen mother will be deprived. Then the imperial history played, and the emperor in anger derogated him, so that he could not see the city wall of Bianliang in his life.
Regardless of whether they are conservatives and reformers, they are willing to see Xing Shu, who cannot be regarded as their own person, miss out on great achievements, and finally leave their sight in disgrace.
The deeper he walked into the prison, the darker it became, even if it was a torch and an oil lamp, Xing Shu still came to Li Kui's prison door with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Open!"
The jailer was so frightened that he took the key and inserted it in the wrong place several times, so Xing Shu angrily snatched the key and went to open it himself.
It took the boss to open the prison door.
The moment the musty, sour, and pungent smell wafted into the tip of Xing Shu's nose, Xing Shu's whole person's emotions were mobilized to an explosive state: "Brother Xian, brother is late!" ”
"Xing Shangshu, it's wrong! I'm a prisoner, and now I'm on death row. ”
Li Kui didn't even lift his eyelids and sat on the haystack, while Peng Hu, the unlucky guy, stopped his mouth and looked at the purple-robed civil official in front of him in surprise.
On the contrary, Gao Yu rushed into the cell from the narrow door, touched the ground on one knee, supported Li Kui's shoulders with both hands and said: "Renjie, where is the injury, don't worry, today's matter, even if you give up your name, you have to let Your Majesty know." ”
Xing Shu was also secretly annoyed when he heard Gao Yu's decision not to break through the sky and not give up, and he didn't wait for him to say a few words of comfort to Li Kui.
When Gates, the prison secretary on the side, heard the words 'Your Majesty', coupled with the nervous reaction of Xing Shu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, his eyes rolled up vigorously, he hiccuped, and fainted.
The jailer wanted to save people, but in front of Xing Shu, who broke out, he really didn't dare to save him.
On the contrary, Peng Hu, who was originally living on death row, saw Xing Shu's official robe, and secretly thought in his heart: At least it is an official position above the third grade. This is in the northwest, and that's a big guy at the level of Dashuai. And in the capital, the military and political bigwigs in the northwest can't be arrogant. Even a big guy with such an identity called Li Kui 'virtuous brother', what does it mean?
Does Li Kui really have an older brother who is a high-ranking official?
Don't make trouble, it is impossible for the two of them to look like a litter at all, Xing Shu is dry and thin, and he looks like a very calculating traitor. And what about Li Kui? Tall and mighty, with a fierce appearance and an indifferent aura, can this be a breed born by the same parents?
If it is really the same father and mother, then the time to mourn a pillar of incense for the old man, his old man must be green.
If he is a half-brother and puts a pillar of incense on the old man's fearless courage, he can even gnaw on the yaksha, even if he is shorter, but his courage is commendable, and he is not an ordinary person.
But such an attractive thought didn't shine in Peng Hu's mind for long, like a bright light in the night, he was suddenly startled by one of his own thoughts, and looked at Li Kui with a dull gaze, condensed for a long time, and a ridiculous thought came out - how can today's civil officials be confused?
If I had studied diligently, maybe I would have ...... There are opportunities for yourself.
On the contrary, it was Xing Shu, for the first time in his life, he could stand in the sunshine and say openly that he had no idea of monopolizing the credit, but at this moment, there was no conspiracy in his heart, and he was out of words.
This made Xing Shu very resentful of his incompetence, couldn't the old man be an official openly?
"Brother Renjie, brother, I ...... it"
"Don't say it, I believe it!" Li Kui was eager to know the news in the palace, and asked, "Xing Shangshu, how is the birthday banquet in the palace?" ”
"A big victory, a big victory, thanks to my brother's planning......" Speaking of this, Xing Shu glared at the surroundings and scolded angrily: "Eyeless bastards, get out, get out of here." ”
After scolding his subordinates, Xing Shu whispered to Li Kui: "Brother Xian, this is not the place to talk, how about a different place?" After entering the cell for a while, Xing Shu felt the strong smell in the cell, which made him feel a kind of suffocation and drowning. I was too nervous before, worried that Li Kui would have an accident, so I didn't notice it at the first time.
"Is there a clean place to go in this prison of the Ministry of Punishment?" Li Kui didn't want to move, since Xing Shu said that he had won a complete victory, then it was inevitable that the holy decree that he would be driven out of Beijing would come down in a few days. I don't care about the delay of these three or two days. And he insisted on going to the northwest, and the emperor would not refuse.
The biggest official in the prison of the Criminal Department is also the prison director, who is simply an insignificant little person in the capital, where can they listen to the news of the palace forcing the palace? If Xing Shu really said it regardless of it, and went back at night, he would definitely not be able to sleep, thinking about killing everyone who had heard him talk to Li Kui. Gao Yu doesn't count, this guy is the person in front of the emperor, what kind of secret can't be heard?
Even Xing Shu wanted to listen to the news from Gao Yu, Hao Sui and other emperors' close attendants and install eyeliner, but unfortunately, Gao Yu and the others would not be moved.
The book of the criminal department?
What a big face. In fact, it is the same thing in the court, and even the status of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not as high as the status of the Zhongshu Sheren. Although the former is a member of the second rank, the latter is just an official of the fourth rank. But can the third-in-command of Zhongshu Province be comparable to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?
Li Kui didn't want to move, changing the cell was actually about the same, the conditions of the prison of the Criminal Department were clear, and it was definitely not better than the private room in Fengle Building.
But Xing Shu didn't think so, and the emperor was in the way of the queen mother's face and sent Li Kui to prison.
He also wanted to put on a banquet to show that the host was not thoughtful, so that Li Kui was apologized for being wronged.
But this is a prison, and if you want to be clean, you really have to think too much, Xing Shu saw the prison director who looked like mud on the ground, and said angrily: "Come on, wake him up." ”
"Oops-"
"Am I dead!?"
Poor prison secretary Gary, who is the king and hegemon in the prison of the Criminal Department on weekdays, did not expect that the prisoner, who seemed to him to be a fat sheep, actually recruited the book of the Criminal Department. On weekdays, only when he entertained the prisoners and overdone it, he used the trick of pouring cold water, but he didn't expect that one day, this cold well water would be splashed on his body for the first time. Chilling through the cold, Gary woke up and thought he was dead. When you meet a bad star like Li Kui, it is enough to catch up with it once in a lifetime, and it is enough to explain the future.
What's more, the eldest man rushed to apologize to Li Kui, can Li Kui not be able to get out of the prison of the Criminal Department?
This person didn't come to the prison of the Criminal Department at all, but came to harm people!
"Go, vacate your official residence, and let Li Zhimi move in."
Gary, the prison priest, shuddered, and hurriedly got up from the ground to prepare. Waiting for them to leave, Li Kui said leisurely: "Is this appropriate?" ”
"It's a good fit, it's a good fit. If you really let the official family know that my brother and I treat my virtuous brother so slowly, my brother's sin will be great. Xing Shu has made a full gesture, his career in this life is very bumpy, and he has taken refuge in Wen Yanbo, Han Jiang, Wang Anshi, Cai Qu, Sima Guang, Lu Dafang, until today's Zhang Dun...... It can be said that he hugged all the thighs after the Renzong Dynasty.
But except for Cai Qu, the thighs of the others are not very hugged.
Especially Wang Anshi, he was so enthusiastic that he was kicked by Wang Anshi, a guy who didn't understand the amorous feelings. Xing Shu couldn't figure it out, why was he identified as a bad guy by Wang Anshi? Besides, Wang Anshi, don't you look at the cronies around you, how many high-quality and virtuous gentlemen are there? It's all a bunch of villains, okay?
Xing Shu felt that if he lived in Fan Zhongyan's era and couldn't tie up Fan Gong, he would admit it. After all, Fan Zhongyan uses people to look at character, and then look at talent. In the Qingli Change, is the participant not an upright gentleman?
But Wang Anshi, the host of Xining's law change, is completely different from Fan Zhongyan, when Wang Anshi presided over the law change, he paid attention to talent and not character, Lu Huiqing, Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Li Qingchen, are not good birds, and they have all been reused. Xing Shu is the only official who is disgusted by Wang Anshi and has a problem with his character, even Xing Shu can't help but be afraid when he thinks of the past, what does he have to stink like to be disliked by Wang Anshi?
The banquet was the first-class banquet in Cai's house, and as soon as it was done, it was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department by the fastest carriage.
The singer is the person sent by the restaurant to help the fun.
It's a pity that Li Kui is not interested in this, Xing Shu waved his hand and asked people to retreat. Outside the door, the prison secretary Gary looked at Peng Hu with big eyes, he couldn't imagine that Peng Hu, this guy was going to be knifed, and he could meet a lucky star like Li Kui, Li Kui just showed that he wanted to use Peng Hu, and Xing Shu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, patted his chest and said to Li Kui, a matter of words. Li Qingchen has a problem, he goes to communicate, and he must hand over people to Li Kui's hands alive.
Xing Shu was not afraid of Li Kui's request, but he was afraid that Li Kui would not kick any of his requests, and he would not leave in the death row. Or talk to him about it and say something decent about it. but in his heart he was holding back his bad intentions to him. Although Xing Shu has a hand in engaging people, if he is really remembered, he will be uncomfortable. If that's the case, he's going to have to sit on wax.
"Brother Xian drank this cup full, this Queen Mother's birthday banquet can be so smooth, thanks to the brother's mention, this time, the elder brother must be the first credit." Xing Shu raised the wine cup, and Li Kui also pretended to do so, and he saw that Xing Shu had completely drunk the wine, so he dried it up.
Li Kui smiled and said: "This is the difficulty of His Majesty's body, how can Li Kui dare to call it meritorious?" Please also ask Xing Shangshu to drink first, and pay tribute to Lord Shangshu below. ”
At the beginning, Xing Shu was still excitedly talking about the confrontation in the court.
Li Qingchen bore the brunt of the problem, he didn't speak, but the handwriting couldn't be wrong, that is, the edict he wrote, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the authenticity of the edict, which really made the Empress Dowager Xiang very passive. But Li Qingchen couldn't shake the Empress Dowager Xiang, the time he entered Beijing was not long before the death of the Empress Dowager Xuanren, and the edict most likely had nothing to do with him. As long as you go in this direction, if you don't make a good fuss, it will become the crime of bullying the monarch by forging the edict.
But the conservative Fan Chunren's statement became the first arrow to the Queen Mother.
The second is Su Zhe's acquiescence, which makes Empress Dowager Xiang not even have the last chance to fight back.
In this battle, it turned out that the conservatives were the ones who decided the final outcome. This made Xing Shu puzzled at first, why did Li Kui have to pull Su Zhe because of his master? Or is there another mystery?
It seems that there is another mystery!
When Xing Shu figured out this, he was also terrified in his heart, and almost made an unforgivable mistake. If Empress Dowager Xiang still had a chance, Zhang Dian and the others would never have a chance to win, even if he was now the prime minister. But the prime minister is not qualified to interfere in the matter of deciding to establish the queen mother. Only the ministers left by the Empress Dowager Xuanren have this qualification. And now there are only three ministers in the court in the Yuanyou period, Su Zhe, Fan Chunren, and Su Song, who doesn't care about anything.
If these three people nodded, Rao is Empress Dowager is the first emperor and queen, the royal mother-in-law, and there is no reversal at all. If the three of them don't nod, Zhang Dian can only stare dryly.
It can be seen that Li Kui thinks farther than him. He thought that the fewer people involved, the greater the credit. But sometimes, some people are too critical to take credit for not being able to get things done.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, this stewed lamb is Cai's housekeeper Cai, Brother Renjie loves mutton, you might as well eat more."
"With my brother here, how can there be a reason for the younger brother to move first, my brother will invite first."
"Then you're welcome!"
Eating, eating.
Xing Shu sensed that something was wrong, and Li Kui seemed to have a sense of guarding against him.
Drinking, Li Kui will not move until he finishes drinking.
If it is a dish, Xing Shu has never touched the chopsticks, and Li Kui definitely does not need to put it down.
Could this be that Li Kui was afraid that he would poison the wine and food?
Thinking of this, Xing Shu was angry, but he couldn't complain about Li Kui, it was completely because his subordinates didn't have the eyesight to see it, and they caused him a lot of trouble. If it weren't for Li Kui's civil and military skills, he would have been on death row for more than an hour, and he wouldn't have died many times. Coupled with Xing Shu's bad past in the past, Li Kui had to think more, Xing Shu had no way at all.
But in fact, Xing Shu really wants to have a good relationship with Li Kui, the emperor's quasi-brother-in-law, if he really dies in his territory, he won't be able to pass the pass of Concubine Xian.
Xing Shu sighed in his heart: "The old man is not such a person at all, why doesn't anyone believe it!" ”
