Chapter 682: Cai Jing wants to seize power
Xiuxian has a long history in China.
Basically, there are two types of people, the emperor and the super powerful are the first type of people, and the hermit and celebrity are the second type of people.
The representatives of the first category are the First Emperor, as well as Liu An, the king of Huainan.
The former is the pacification of the four seas, the unai salty, and the journey of the first emperor seems to have lost its goal all of a sudden. The First Emperor patted his head, and then he thought of conquering the fairy world. It's a pity that there are basically no people who have the ability in this field, and no one dares to deceive them. An emperor as smart as the First Emperor can also be deceived. In the end, there was no infamy of cultivating immortals, but there was no experience in cultivating immortals.
If there was an empire as powerful as Great Qin around the Great Qin Empire back then, how could the First Emperor ignore the opponent at his doorstep, but spend huge financial and material resources on the bottomless pit of cultivating immortals?
Impossible, with the character of the First Emperor, he would never be able to do such an ignorant thing.
In essence, the First Emperor was certainly not a faint monarch. It's a Ming Jun. As for why he is a tyrant, the main reason is that he is a scoundrel who stole the unification of the Qin State.
A person like Liu Bang could not have become a hero in any other dynasty.
But at the end of Qin, he also met Xiang Yu, an opponent who was too upright, and he won the throne. Whether it is a historian or a literati, it is impossible to oppose the old Liu family on the foundation of the Han Dynasty. And Liu Bang ...... There were really no deeds to promote, so the literati could only smear the First Emperor and the Qin Empire.
But the root is not in this, but the emergence of the Qin State, which has made the privileges of the aristocratic class gone.
Liu An, the king of Huaiyang, is essentially a literati with extremely soft ears. At the same time, he is also a prince with a vast fiefdom. There is not much hope of usurping the throne, but after the success of cultivating immortals, he should be able to defeat the emperor easily...... This is called a successful counterattack. Crushing the other party on the realm is a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
Of course, there is also a kind of plot, the plot of the literati's cultivation of immortals.
Not to mention, Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty threw himself into the ground for Li Bai's admiration. They met in Chang'an that year, and after they met, Li Bai invited Du Fu to visit the immortals together. There is also a good friend Gao Shi who also participated in this immortal search trip.
Starting from Chang'an, they crossed Tongguan all the way, entered the Central Plains, and then turned north.
Looking for fairy grass, refining elixir, the road fee is exhausted.
The point is that the road is exhausted, and that's the point. couldn't even eat, Li Bai was still determined, but Du Fu couldn't stand it, and he went up halfway.
Although it is very unrighteous to do this, at the same time, the road to seeking immortals makes them see each other clearly, not all the way.
But even so, Li Bai and Du Fu still cherish each other.
Du Fu also wrote no less than a dozen poems remembering Li Bai.
"The crown is full of Jinghua, and the people are alone and haggard."
"Drink and sing wildly, and spend your days in the air, who is the male for flying."
……
It can be seen that the people who read are very duplicitous.
Then speaking of Su Shi, this one also has a plot of cultivating immortals, and he is quite top. It's a pity that cultivating immortals is not something that ordinary families can afford, can ordinary people afford the big tripod of light equipment and alchemy? The threshold for cultivating immortals is amazingly high, which is prohibitive.
It is estimated that the threshold for cultivating immortals is too high, so Su Shi had to change his career to study medicine.
Studying medicine is also commonplace, Su Shi prescribes his own prescriptions, he dares to take them, and firmly believes that the medicine can cure the disease. But if you want Su Zhe to eat, you won't kill him. Su Zhe had already seen through his second brother's medical skills and treated his brother, which was not a brother-in-law, but a brother-in-law.
Li Kui pondered that Su Shi should have a magic stick by his side.
This is not difficult to solve, as long as Gongsun Sheng is sent, he can basically bully the god stick and doubt life. But Li Kui thought more, what if it was another intention?
He asked someone to call Zhu Gui and handed him a letter: "You immediately go to the Taishi Mansion in the capital and ask Gongsun Sheng to go south to Jiangnan with you." Find out who is bewitching him by the Bachelor's side. ”
"My lord, do you want to?" As Zhu Gui spoke, he made a gesture of extinguishing his mouth on the rivers and lakes.
Li Kui shook his head with a smile and said, "No." This incident made Gongsun Sheng decide that he was a Taoist official of the fifth grade, and he had the right to dispose of Taoist priests in the world who were lower in rank than him. ”
"The subordinates set off immediately."
Zhu Gui finally waited for the new task, said goodbye to his brother when he turned around, and prepared to rush into the city. Before going out, Ruan Xiaowu sent a thousand yuan of activity funds, which made Zhu Gui want to cry. Their brothers, for the sake of wealth, are about to become thieves, but they never thought that wealth would be in front of them after Zhao'an.
At the time of parting, he instructed his brother: "Second brother, you follow the adults and do things well." I'm waiting for riches, it's all on adults. ”
After speaking, he said leisurely: "Don't be careless." Do you want to know who I am doing on my errand? ”
"Gongsun Sheng!" Zhu Gui looked up at Fang Liang, and said with a long thought: "I have also inquired about this person, although his background is good, he is a disciple of the Dao Palace. But if you go astray, you are not a good person. ”
"Back then, he was just a bandit who made a rebellion in Yuncheng, and he was captured by an adult, and in just a few years, he became a Taoist official of Wupin. If we do our job well, we may be able to change the door that day. ”
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely follow the adults and not let the young people have the opportunity to get the adults."
……
Not to mention the Zhu brothers.
After Meng Kang joined the shipyard, he immediately inspected the timber in the shipyard.
The shipwright at the shipyard is selected, and the drawings are decided to be made, and when the drawings are completed, the model is ready to be built.
Li Kui saw that although the shipyard had not started, it was already on the right track, and he was not worried. simply took people back to their hometown and returned to Beijing with Venucia.
He left Beijing a few years ago, and now it is almost three months.
When entering Beijing, spring is full of joy.
When the boat arrives at Pratunam Pier, it is transferred to a horse-drawn carriage.
The lady went home, and he took the people to the Toshido.
When he passed through the Baokang Gate, Zhu Fu's nervous legs were trembling. He muttered, "This house is too big!" Your Majesty lives, isn't it lonely? ”
The imperial palaces of the Great Song Dynasty belonged to small ones in all dynasties. But for Zhu Fu, who has only been to a big city like Linyi a few times, Tokyo Bianliang City is too big and too prosperous. And the palace is an existence that he can't even imagine. Unexpectedly, he was a poor child who lived in a market family in Yishui County since he was a child, and he still had the opportunity to enter the palace in this life.
The imperial palace is divided into two parts, and the one where the emperor lives is called the harem. And the imperial city is where the prime ministers work. In all dynasties, the more important the yamen, the closer it was to the main hall of the palace.
"Wait here, don't run around."
"Look at the feet, go to the wrong yamen, but you have to lose your head."
Regardless of whether he was intimidating him or not, Zhu Fu listened to every word, and he acted vigorously, like a kowtow worm.
"Renjie, you're back, go to the bureau and take a look, after Cai Jing came, the entire Military Command Bureau is now a miasma, which makes people angry." When Zhang Zhu saw Li Kui from a distance, he yelled at Li Kui. Obviously, he didn't have a good time in the Military Command Bureau.
Cai Jing's character is definitely not trustworthy, but Li Kui doesn't think that this guy dares to act nonsense and argue with himself when he first arrives.
He grabbed Zhang Zhu, smiled, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, after you go to the ministry, I'll go and have a look." ”
Only then did Zhang Zhi find that Li Kui was followed by a living person, and he couldn't help but be curious: "What is this brother's name?" ”
Zhu Fucheng said with trepidation: "The villain is fortunate to be able to follow Master Li, and now he is a member of the Military Command Bureau. ”
Zhang Zhu looked at Zhu Fu, and then his eyes rolled: "If you can enter the eyes of a master, obviously your ability is not bad, and if you enter my military command bureau, can you have a superior?" ”
Most adults understand what this means. Hurry up, offer your knees, and mess with Uncle Ben.
Although Zhu Fu said that he had not gone through the officialdom, he was also clever, and he heard that Zhang Zhu wanted to recruit him. But what about Li Kui on the side? Besides, as soon as you wear a green robe, you dare to compete with a high-ranking official in a scarlet robe for your subordinates, what are the conditions at home!
Seeing that Zhu Fu didn't agree, Zhang Zhu was a little embarrassed, coughed, cleared his throat, and said leisurely: "My father is a big man." ”
Big Wash?
Zhu Fu didn't think this was a great person, he had never heard of it. The tone is too big, and it is estimated that he is arrogant. Besides, he and his brother have already followed Li Kui, how can they do something that changes the door and makes people laugh?
Zhu Fu refused: "I am loyal to Lord Li, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Please don't joke about it. ”
Thanks to Zhu Fu being a foreigner, if he was a local official in the capital, he would immediately be able to kneel to this seemingly arrogant title.
Who is Da Di Weng?
This is Zhang Dan's self-appointed nickname, in the capital, Da Di Weng is Zhang Dan, and no second person dares to call such an arrogant name.
But Zhu Fu doesn't know!
Li Kui saw something deep from Zhang Zhu's eagerness to solicit people, and the prime minister's son was not happy in the military control bureau. As for the reason, it is not difficult for Li Kui to guess. It's already very good that Zhang Duan can pinch his nose and let Zhang give him a career, and he will still recruit a team? Don't even think about such unrealistic thoughts.
In order to recruit his subordinates, Zhang Zhu also fought hard. Even the identity of the prime minister's son was brought out, but unfortunately he didn't even have the strength to be angry when he met an illiterate fool.
As for the talents in the family, who dares to mess around with the third son!
In the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Dian attached great importance to discipline and would never allow his son to make profits outside under his banner, even if he was soliciting people. If Zhang Dian hears it, Zhang Zhu will be unlucky to go home.
But even if he took such a risk, but met an illiterate person, Zhang Zhu glanced at Zhu Fu sadly, and said in his heart: "This unfortunate person deserves not to be reused." ”
But Li Kui saw different traces from Zhang Zhu's lost eyes, it seemed that after Cai Jing returned to the capital, there was no place for Zhang Zhu to speak in the Military Control Bureau.
This is not surprising, although Zhang Dian said that it was hindered by Li Kui, he agreed to Zhang Kui's request. But there is one thing he will never agree, Zhang Zhi was exceptionally promoted. Don't look at the fact that it has been more than ten years since Zhang awarded the Zhongjin Shi, his career has to be the same as the officialdom newcomer who has just been promoted to the Jinshi, climbing forward step by step.
This is also the reason why he entered the Military Command Bureau and could only be a Bapincheng.
And what about Cai Jing? The deputy commander of the Military Command Bureau is the young eunuch.
If Cai Jing respects Zhang Dun, for the sake of Zhang Dan's face, he may also give Zhang a little courtesy. If you really ignore it and wear small shoes, it is possible to suppress everywhere.
There is also a possibility that after Cai Jing returned to the capital, he was instructed by Zhang Dian to deliberately stumble his son. So that Zhang gave up the hope of being promoted as an official.
Li Kui said secretly: "Uncle Zhang's life is not easy! ”
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and what rules the prime minister Zhang Dian has in his family, Li Kui can't control it, and he doesn't dare to manage it. But if someone fanned the flames in his Military Command Bureau, he would never agree.
Li Kui asked Zhang Zhu: "The yamen has already been chosen?" ”
"It's chosen, it's in the Baokang Gate, on the edge of the north-south straight."
Li Kui raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Zhu, and said in his heart: If you have the eyesight to see him, you know that he lives in Baokangmen, so he arranged the yamen at the door of his house.
Li Kui nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”
Speaking of the location of the yamen, Zhang Zhu was also angry, and complained: "I originally chose the vicinity of Xinzhengmen, but after Cai Jing came, he found the inner government and rejected the original yamen location. The house was being repaired, and he said he didn't want it. Then he took the person who chose the place where it is now. Renjie, you said Cai Jing didn't mean to embarrass us?
It turned out that it was not a chapter award?
It was Cai Jing who deliberately showed goodwill, and Li Kui was not easy to say about this issue. He touched his chin and muttered, "Yuan Chang is also an old minister, so he still has to be treated." After all, he was also Zhang Xiang's right-hand man before. ”
Zhang Zhu said indignantly: "I also looked at him as an old courtier, and I didn't care about him." But Renjie, now this military command bureau is all his people, inside and out, he is the master of the house alone, if you don't come again, this military command bureau is his Cai Jing's yamen. ”
But in his heart, Li Kui was on fire, and he had previously instructed Zhang Zhu to choose the place to attach the government outside the city. The reason is that in order to manage the convenience of the iron-smelting workshop, when did it be said that the office of the yamen should also be placed outside the city.
Also Xinzhengmen?
After Li Kui's early dynasty, this didn't force him to cross the Bianliang City of the Great Song Dynasty every day, but also wore the inner city and the outer city together, what kind of heart!
Fortunately, Li Kui didn't have a hot head, and stubbornly asked that Zhang Zhu be arranged to be his deputy.
When the time comes, is it better to run him away, or to keep it as an eyesore?
As for the installation of people by the Military Unification Bureau, Li Kui had to pay attention to it. This yamen even installed two or three kittens himself, how could he allow Cai Jing to install his cronies as soon as he came, and who in the yamen would listen to him in the future. Isn't this a busy job and making a wedding dress for Cai Jing?
"Third Uncle Zhang, come with me to the yamen to have a look?"
Li Kui invited.
Zhang Zhu hesitated for a while, but retreated and said: "Cai Jing is very bad, I'm afraid that he will go to my father to complain." If I don't know if I go to the government tomorrow, I won't go today? ”
"Okay."
Li Kui took Zhu Fu and others to see Zhang Zhu leave, his back was very miserable, but he was full of ambition but finally achieved others, not to mention how uncomfortable Zhang Zhu was.
"My lord, such villains should be vigilant. After the person stirs up right and wrong, it is not a gentleman's act. He also said unashamedly that his father was a 'big cleaner', and most of the people who were so arrogant were not reliable people. This is the same as the truth in the rivers and lakes, the cowhide blows the earth-shattering sound, if you really try hard, you can run faster than anyone else. If his father is capable, can he still be a petty official in a green robe? After all, Zhu Fu has read for a few days, and he also attaches great importance to festivals. determined that the chapter was a villain's behavior, and he looked down on the other party a little. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the imperial city, he was afraid of being punished by the forbidden army patrolling everywhere, so he would have spat on Zhang Zhu's back.
Li Kui stared at Zhu Fu in a daze, and only after a long time did he speak: "His father has completely arrogant capital. ”
"Ahh Could it be that his father is a member of the fourth grade? ”
"Bigger than the fourth official?"
Zhu Fu was shocked: "It won't be a second-grade master, right?" ”
"Don't guess, it's the Prime Minister. Everyone in the capital knows that the prime minister Zhang Dun is called 'Da Di Weng'. He is the third son of the prime minister's family, didn't he see that the officials called him the third uncle? After Li Kui handed over the identity plate to the forbidden army of Deshengmen for inspection, he went out of the palace gate and got on the horse.
And Zhu Fu looked at the direction where Zhang Zhi disappeared in a daze, and regretted in his heart: "The former prime minister's son recruited me...... I'm blinded by eating lard, and I'm going to reject him! ”
