Chapter 505: My Lord, You're Gone!
Jinshi is such a good thing?
Chong Jianzhong hated Li Kui's behavior, what all evil and lewdness are the head, the villain is pregnant with soil, and other sage words are like Hong Zhong Dalu in his ears over and over again. Thinking about the meaning of being an official...... He decided to fight against wicked people like Li Kui.
Suddenly, someone on the side reminded him: "Master Plant, my lord is invited!" ”
Chong Jianzhong came back to his senses and found that it was Li Bangyan, the book history next to Li Kui, and smiled lukewarmly at him with a shy face. Li Bangyan is a consistent person, he admires scholars, but he is quite disdainful of people like Chong Jianzhong who rely on grace to be an official. He is a person with great ambitions, and he will definitely be a great talent in the future, how can he be a stammering official of Enyin?
Li Bangyan, as always, only stammered with real scholars, Juzi and Jinshi. Now that he is following Li Kui, he can't look down on ordinary lifters, unless it is a top-ranked lifter such as Taixue, he can focus on it.
Obviously, in the eyes of Li Bangyan, Chong Jianzhong belongs to a relatively low-grade bureaucrat, and this is the end of his life. To put it bluntly, Li Bangyan is a dog who looks down on people. Seeing that Chong Jianzhong was unhappy, Li Bangyan deliberately stopped the other party and said in a low voice: "Master Chong, there is a way for officials to protect each other, and those who are officials do not help those who are officials, why should the imperial court regard the same subject as the same door when taking the imperial examination?" ”
"You ......" Chong Jian shook off his clothes angrily, turned his head and left. After taking two steps, he felt uncomfortable, so he simply turned around and went to the back office. He had to talk to Li Kui and said, a gentleman has something to do and something not to do, he knows what he can do and does it, and he doesn't do it when he knows what he can't do. As an official, you can't treat the people as grass mustard. In particular, how can such despicable acts of robbing people's daughters become an example for the people?
Li Bangyan then followed Chong Jianzhong.
Li Bangyan's words to Li Kui, that refers to where to fight, and it is also worthy of being a hardcore dog. The dignified Tanhua master was sent to a bitter cold place like the Northwest, what about finding a woman who warms the bed? Which woman is this blessed blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes? Besides, it's still a few hands of experienced goods, and they have already wronged our old Li family. Also, Nie herself doesn't want to live with her husband anymore, our lord accepted it, it was a place for weak women to shelter from the wind and rain, this is benevolence.
As for why it is called a kind of Jianzhong?
Li Bangyan simply thinks that his adult should find a colleague to witness. Most of the Jianzhong wants to give Li Kui the identity of taking the lead in pulling the line, let's just be a matchmaker.
This is a lift, don't know each other!
When he came to the back office, he walked forward with his head buried in anger. Xuanfu made Lu Huiqing concurrently the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, but the situation of Yanyan Road was very special. Yan'an is a military government, and the city is not as lively as Yanzhou, and the scale is very small, only two states. It's not like Qin Fenglu, which has seven or eight states. Therefore, the state's transshipment, propaganda, and promotion yamen are all in the office of Dunzhou.
If Lu Huiqing hadn't been in the war, he wouldn't have come to Yan'an Road.
In fact, Yan'an Road is a government controlled by the army. This is a very special situation in the Great Song Dynasty. Generally speaking, the prefectural-level government is larger than the state. But Yan'an Mansion has another reason. Because of the long line of defense bordering the Western Xia border, Yan'an was basically dominated by garrisons. The common people were few in number, and most of them were craftsmen and merchants who served the army.
"Renjie, you did this to let Su Gong know, how should you be extremely disappointed?"
After thinking about it, he still felt that the danger of a head-on conflict with Li Kui was very high, and others didn't know that Li Kui was willing to be the head of the arrow on the battlefield, chasing the demon of the Western Xia lord. Although Lao Chong is also from the Jiangmen family, when it comes to force, even the most outstanding general of the Chong clan, his uncle Chong Ge is not Li Kui's opponent.
The deputy marshal of the Iron Harrier was bullied by him like a monkey, and finally he was bored and gave his subordinate Luda practice. Even the enemy, Chong Jianzhong felt humiliated by his death. It's too aggrieved, the Great Song Dynasty has been in the imperial examination for a hundred years, and only then did Li Kui come out with such a person. The dignified battlefield general is bullied by the scholar and has no temper, where to reason!
Thinking of letting Su Zhe's prestige make Li Kui restrain himself from the precipice, what puzzled Chong Jianzhong was that Li Kui didn't seem to hear it, and said to Chong Jianzhong: "Old Chong, I decided to go to Xixia to have a look!" ”
"What? Don't you want to take a concubine? ”
Chong Jianzhong hurriedly shook his head and said in surprise: "You want to go to Western Xia?" ”
The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty went to Western Xia, not as envoys, what did they want to do?
Thinking of when Su Zhe was leaving, he told him to let him watch Li Kui, and Chong Jianzhong finally understood how difficult this sentence was. As for saying that Li Kui went to Western Xia to seek refuge in Western Xia? He won't say anything about this kind of stupidity, when did the Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty surrender to the alien race?
Only unlucky people who have tried and failed, perhaps forced by resentment against the imperial examination and paranoia for half their lives, can take risks. But such people are also very rare.
Then Li Kui's purpose of going to Western Xia is obvious, it must be to sabotage!
Chong Jianzhong shouted: "Renjie, you don't want to die!" ”
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated, you look at my Great Song Dynasty, and now the war with Western Xia is like an arrow on the string, and it is imminent. If I and other border army officials don't know the terroir of Western Xia, how can I defeat it? The Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia have been fighting for more than fifty years, and in these fifty years, you have thought about how much money my Great Song Dynasty consumed and how many soldiers' lives were paid. The Western Army consumes 30 million guan a year, 30,000 guan in ten years, and 150,000 guan in 50 years, which is enough for the ordinary people of my Great Song Dynasty to be exempted from all agricultural taxes forever. ”
"You and I are both officials of the imperial court, how can we be a vegetarian meal, and we can protect the people by just shouting that it is our duty to defend the land. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner, and those who do not seek the general trend are not enough to seek a moment; Finding out the crux of subverting the Western Xia royal power is to seek the well-being of my Great Song Dynasty for all eternity! If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? That's why I went to Western Xia. ”
"Nie Cuicui's younger brother works in the palace, and he must be the palace steward of the year-old coin trade. Now most of them are in this Fushi city, and the royal caravan that followed him into Western Xia avoided the danger of sneaking across the river from the border, not to mention disguising the caravan as a foreign race, which is the best and safest way. ”
As soon as Li Kui's words came out, Chong Jianzhong suddenly felt that Li Kui was extremely tall. But before...... By the way, what about the Nie family? Why didn't you see it?
"My lord, what are you going to do with the Nie clan?" Asked in the middle of the construction.
Li Kui said strangely: "Your eyes are wrong!" It seems to be hostile to this officer! ”
"Renjie, you misunderstood, I'm afraid that Renjie will leave the Nie family for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, besides, how can the Nie family's Puliu posture be worthy of you?"
Chong Jianzhong laughed awkwardly, ashamed of his dirty thoughts. I thought that Li Kui was greedy for Nie's beauty and was ready to attack her.
Of course, from the point of view of Jianzhong, although the Nie family is not stunning, it is also quite good, and it is reasonable for Li Kui to covet such beauty. But Li Kui said angrily: "Am I such a person? I just heard that her brother was running an errand in the palace, apparently in charge of business here in the northwest. I've asked her to take her with me to fetch my brother. It is better to be able to enter Western Xia in the caravan than to be lucky with two eyes in the dark. ”
"But why is Qian Zhou imprisoned again?"
The man spoke in a flickering manner, clearly with reservations. And this person is a water worker, Xixia has also begun to plant now, and needs irrigation, such a talent as him in Xixia should be rare, and he will definitely not be a cow or a horse as he said. This guy should have been unlucky to be captured, and I estimate that the treatment of this product in Western Xia is definitely not bad, and it is even possible to become a low-level official. However, after the previous war, it was indeed too difficult to screen prisoners. The party and the natives have different words, aren't these two dogs just talking? ”
Li Kui has a strong interest in Qian Zhou, before the battle of Haoshuichuan, the Western Xia made an amazing move, that is, to dig the Yellow River irrigation canal of the Western Xia, and trapped the main force of the Great Song Dynasty on the plain, 100,000 troops, and finally more than 10,000 people lived.
Why can the Tangut people dig ditches, but the Great Song people can't dig them?
It should be convenient to have a hydraulic engineer to lead the way.
Moreover, the irrigation canals of Western Xia are changing every year, and there is a familiar plumber, who is much stronger than him digging indiscriminately. In addition, don't think that the party members are of a different race, so they will definitely treat the captured people of the Great Song Dynasty as slaves. With talent and professional skills, scholars can enjoy preferential treatment even after being captured in Western Xia. Li Kui even thought with bad intentions that Qian Zhou might even have wives and concubines in Western Xia.
The Western Xia's thirst for talents was much more urgent than that of the Great Song Dynasty.
Although Li Kui said it easily, Chong Jianzhong still did not recommend Li Kui to go to Western Xia to take risks. It's one thing to be bold, it's one thing for an artist to be bold, but his life is his own, and only once, if his life is gone, wouldn't Li Kui's good future be ruined overnight?
Li Kui's plan didn't scare Chong Jianzhong, but it scared Hao Sui out. Since following Li Kui, Hao Sui really hasn't had a few days of stable life, running all the way, shouting all the way: "Renjie, are you willing to kill our family?" ”
"Grandpa Hao, this is the government affairs of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with you!" Li Kui made it clear that he didn't want to talk to Hao Sui, and it was not difficult for him to convince Chong Jianzhong. The gentleman is righteous, as long as he convinces Chong Jianzhong in righteousness, Chong Jianzhong will only cooperate with Li Kui, and will definitely not drag Li Kui back. But Hao Sui is different, he is a eunuch, and sometimes he is more paranoid than women.
If you want to understand the reason with him, it will be difficult in this life.
Since reasoning could not be achieved, Li Kui could only use unreasonable methods.
Hao Sui was stunned, then walked to Li Kui's side, and said softly: "Renjie, don't be confused, it is a big crime for officials to leave their posts without permission, if it is really known by the court, if it is meritorious, it is fine, if it is not an inch, it will be a big trouble." Goshidai alone won't let you go. And Renjie, think about it, how difficult is it to study and take the imperial examination? You don't have an heir yet, so if something happens, won't you leave no successor? ”
For Hao Sui, Li Kui is really convinced, no matter what this product does, it can involve the birth of a baby.
The most annoying thing is that Hao Sui himself is still a master who has no ability to give birth to a baby.
You are a eunuch and instigate others to have children, so you don't feel uncomfortable?
But the question is, is Li Kui a person who listens to persuasion? He is not this kind of person at all, and the confrontation between Hao Sui and Li Kui has never been won. Because of his meritorious service, Luda, who was selected into the Beijing camp, is now the leader of Hao Sui's guards, and this thing said to Li Kui very insightlessly: "My lord, are you discussing going to Western Xia?" ”
"Hmm!" Li Kui dragged out his voice and said, "You also came to persuade me?" ”
"No, sir." Luda suddenly straightened up, straightened his clothes, and pleaded with Li Kui: "My lord, I want to go too!" ”
Hao Sui couldn't deal with Li Kui, and he couldn't stop Luda, so he turned around and pointed at Luda and scolded: "What kind of mess are you making? Get out! ”
While speaking, Hao Sui continued to say bitterly to Li Kui: "Renjie, it's not worth it, Your Majesty knows that you are loyal, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." The rafters that come out rot first. Your current identity, as long as ten years, the fourth-grade official is at your fingertips, and the future is unlimited, why do you have to risk yourself? Besides, the Li family is struggling to support you alone, in case you fall, even if Your Majesty thinks of your good, there should always be someone to take care of! ”
Hao Sui seemed to recognize Li Kui's incomprehensible amorous feelings, and said ruthlessly to Li Kui: "Renjie, you can go, after taking a concubine, as long as you have descendants, even if you have three long and two short, I Hao Sui will take care of your wife and children for you." ”
Chong Jianzhong was quite speechless on the side, and a eunuch said to a civil official, I will try my best to take care of your wife and children. This sounds like a deep brotherhood, but when you think about it, it makes people frightened, which seems to have a secret that makes people spicy!
Of course, the benefits of eunuchs taking care of their wives and children are not impossible, even if the main owner dies, there is no need to worry about the grave being green.
Not long after, Ruan Xiaoer took Nie Cuicui, followed by a young man who seemed to be quite clever. After entering the courtyard, the young man immediately said to Li Kui: "The villain Nie Shiqu pays a visit to Li Zhimi. ”
Li Kui was condescending, and he didn't let people get up, and waited for a while before he slowly spoke: "Are you the steward of that house?" ”
"Lord Qiyu, the villain is the steward of Duanwang's Mansion."
"Duanwang, he is also short of money?"
Li Kui was stunned, feeling that the world was so small, and after walking around, he actually bumped into the steward of Duanwangfu.
Nie Shiqu smiled bitterly, is Duanwangfu short of money?
It's missing.
Duanwang's temperament, he likes to play games, and he is simply self-taught for playing. However, the annual income of the royal palace of the Great Song Dynasty is numerous, and even if King Duan is the emperor's younger brother, there is no way to make a fuss about the offering. Besides, what can you do about making a fuss about it?
Twice as much as the palace offerings, Duan Wang Zhao Ji is still not enough.
In addition, Duanwang Zhao Ji was born to a palace maid, and there is no family member outside to help. As a last resort, we can only take risks. Fortunately, although the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia fought wars every year, trade was not cut off. Business went on and the looting continued. Everyone turned a blind eye. Nie Shiqu saw that Li Kui didn't speak, for the red man next to the emperor in front of him, he was the steward of the palace, he didn't dare to offend at all, so he could only kneel stiffly.
Li Kui obviously gave Nie Shiqu a dismount, deliberately dragging it, Nie Cuicui couldn't stand it, their sister and brother had only seen each other for a few days, and secretly wanted to pull the brothers, but found that Nie Shiqu didn't dare to get up at all.
Only then did Li Kui speak: "Get up!" ”
"Master Xie." Nie Shiqu got up from the ground tremblingly.
The obscene eunuch Hao Sui's gaze fell on Nie Cuicui's face, and then looked at Li Kui, touching his bare chin and knowing what he was thinking. On the contrary, Li Kui spoke first: "When will your caravan leave?" ”
"I have to wait until after May, after Shudi's brocade last year is sent out, and then I can leave for Western Xia. The adult asked if he wanted to ......, "Nie Shiqu thinks that it can't be Li Kui, who also wants to do business, right?" But will Li Kui be short of money? Who in the capital doesn't know that Li Kui has accumulated millions of family properties because of snowflake salt? Li Kui is so valuable, how can he look at this little money?
But Li Kui's next words made Nie Shiqu half frightened: "There are not many days left, I'll go with you then!" ”
"Adult, how dare the villain take the adult with him? Ask the adults to take pity on the villain, don't scare the villain! Nie Shiqu lay on the ground again and begged bitterly.
Li Kui was the one who listened to the persuasion, waved his hand and said, "That's it!" ”
Suddenly, Hao Sui pointed at Nie Cuicui and said, "Does this woman have a marriage match?" ”
Nie Shiqu shook his head blankly and said, "Sister, just leave." ”
"Are you willing to be a concubine for Lord Li?"
Nie Cuicui was stunned, she found that she still couldn't escape the catastrophe of being occupied by the wicked. On the contrary, when Nie Shiqu heard Hao Sui's words, he hesitated slightly for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?" ”
"The leader of the guard in front of the provincial palace in our family, Hao Sui." Hao Sui straightened his slightly pregnant stomach and said proudly.
Hearing Hao Sui's identity, Nie Shiqu was pleasantly surprised, and said in his heart: "Where did my sister get her good luck, such good things have caught up." She is still a second marriage, no, she is a remnant of a third marriage. How can you be so good? ”
Hurriedly bowed down and said gratefully: "Lord Xie favors him, and he also asks the adult to accept his sister." ”
Nie Cuicui secretly said bitter in her heart! It's just enough to meet a cousin who only recognizes money and doesn't recognize people, and I also met a brother who sold his sister in a blink of an eye when he met an official eunuch. Why is her life so miserable?
Secretly glanced at Li Kui, in addition to being a little darker, his appearance is also considered Zhouzheng, the key is that the aura of civil officials adds countless points. I felt that it was not impossible, and suddenly I suffered from gains and losses in my heart. Lowered his eyelids shyly, not daring to look at people. Li Kui is tall, tall and heroic, and of course, there is no shortage of righteousness among scholars. The main reason is that Li Kui's sense of justice is sometimes too strong, and many people can't stand it. Especially the unlucky people such as the thieves and the heroes of the green forest who are targeted by him, as long as they are targeted by him, they are destined to embark on the road of destruction.
Even Li Kui, who was thick-skinned enough, glanced at Hao Sui, who was assertive, angrily, and said with annoyance: "Don't talk nonsense, this official doesn't mean that." ”
Nie Shiqu secretly looked at Li Kui, but still found that Li Kui was blushing. How did he know that Hao Sui was sure that Li Kui would not accept Nie Cuicui as a concubine, and he said that it was impossible to find a married woman, although the other party was not very old, and she was also the daughter of an official eunuch in the past.
But what is Li Kui's identity?
Jinshi and the first background, the future is bright, so you won't be labeled as a lustful person at a young age, right?
Hao Sui deliberately disgusted Li Kui, so that Li Kui knew the difficulty and retreated, and obediently became an official in Yan'an Mansion. But Nie Shiqu looked at Li Kui's embarrassed red face, and suddenly thought that it was another situation - I'm sorry!
