Chapter 54: Blue Jade, Beware of Misfortune Coming Out of Your Mouth!!
"Reward?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold instantly, and he snorted coldly:
"He, Li Jin, as an official of the imperial court, actually went to the painting boat in public."
"It's good that we didn't let people arrest him, and you still want us to reward him? Dream! ”
"And Li Jin also beat the imperial court officials, we have to settle accounts with him in this matter."
Zhu Biao was speechless for a while, not knowing how to whitewash Li Jin.
After all, the Ming Dynasty decree that court officials are not allowed to solicit prostitution has been clearly stipulated.
"Father, what are you going to do with Li Jin?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then said:
"Even if Chen Huaiyi is a bastard, it is also the imperial history of the dynasty."
"Li Jin beat Chen Huaiyi in front of the public and broke Chen Huaiyi's legs."
"If you don't punish Li Jin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
"Let's see that this Li Jin should not be the imperial history, let's honestly go to be his county commander, the province will embarrass us in the capital."
"Father, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to drive Li Jinqi out of the capital, and immediately called up.
"No matter what Li Jin says, he is also a great talent, and he always has something to say."
"Leave him in the capital, and if anything happens in the future, you can ask him."
"Wouldn't it be too condescending for you to drive him back to be a county magistrate?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Biao valued Li Jin so much, and said a little unhappily:
"What kind of talent is he? It's just that the stomach is full of bad water, and it's just crooked. ”
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still belittling Li Jin, Zhu Biao was a little anxious:
"Father, although Li Jin is a little out of the ordinary, but..."
"Alas, Biao'er, why can't you see our hard work?"
Before Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted and sighed:
"This Li Jin is also a restless person in the capital, how long has it been, and he has already been with those generals in Huaixi."
"Who are the Huaixi generals, don't you know?"
"If Li Jin stays with them all the time, I'm afraid that he will be assimilated by these people soon, and then he will be a group of like-minded bastards."
Zhu Biao's mouth opened slightly, remembering the picture on the painting boat.
Before they went in, they clearly heard that Li Jin was going to take these Huaixi generals to make a big deal.
Li Jin has only been in Beijing for less than two days, and he has already hooked up with these domineering Huaixi generals.
After a long time, what Zhu Yuanzhang said is really likely to happen.
Zhu Biao nodded lightly and agreed:
"Father is right, Li Jin really shouldn't fool around with these people."
"He is a talented person, and the court will be important to him in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Biao already attached great importance to Li Jin, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then continued:
"Not only that, but each of these generals has great power."
"We have given them more tips, hoping that they can have self-knowledge and take the initiative to give up military power."
"It's a pity that these people are all obsessed with power and pretend to be crazy and stupid for us."
"Li Jin's ability, you should also know."
"Although people are bastards, they do have the ability to make money."
"If they are united, when they have soldiers and money, they will really no longer be able to check and balance."
"So you must not give them a chance to be together, and when you wait, you will let the Ministry of Rites draw up an order, and let Li Jin, this bastard, go back to be the county commander."
"Don't set foot in the capital again."
Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was so decisive, and he didn't want to say anything, so he had to turn around and find someone to draft a will.
...
When Li Jin took a figure-eight step and came back from listening to the music from the Qinhuai River Goulan, he saw a group of internal guards waiting for him at the door of the inn.
"Li Jin took the order."
Before Li Jin could understand what was going on, the little eunuch led by him began to read the holy decree aloud.
"Carried by heaven, the emperor said."
"Supervising the Imperial History, Li Jin beats the imperial court...."
After the holy decree was recited, Li Jin was stunned on the spot.
What do you mean? As soon as I arrived in the capital, you asked me to go back again?
Even the seventh-rank official position that had just been promoted was demoted back to the eighth-rank county order?
What does this Lao Zhu mean? Playing with yourself?
Just when Li Jin was puzzled, the little eunuch who announced the decree had already walked up with a pleasant face:
"Master Li, I haven't seen you for many days, but I still remember the villain."
It was the little eunuch who gave Li Jin instructions many times, Ma He.
"Yes, of course I do."
Li Jin took out ten taels of silver with a familiar car, quietly stuffed it into the sleeve of the little eunuch, and said with a pleasant face:
"Is the Emperor's Sacrament well?"
Ma He weighed the weight of the silver, and was extremely satisfied, Master Li never let him down.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, Holy Bow."
"It's just that I heard that your lord beat Lord Chen, and I was more angry, but fortunately, I was persuaded by His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Your Majesty, this is why you will return to Shanghu County and be your county commander."
When Li Jin heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang didn't scream angrily to kill himself, Li Jin felt that there was no big problem.
"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, do you want to go in and have dinner together?"
"That's not necessary, the emperor is still waiting for us to go back on a business trip."
The little eunuch refused directly, and then whispered:
"Master Li should leave the capital as soon as possible, the emperor is not very satisfied with what you did in the capital."
After finishing speaking, Ma He turned around and left, leaving only Li Jin with a stunned face.
What did I do in the capital? In addition to playing Chen Huaiyi, isn't it just to listen to music?
Li Jin, who couldn't figure it out, had to shake his head, and was ready to go back to the inn to pack his luggage and run away tonight.
....
The next morning.
Before the sky was bright, the civil and military officials had already appeared outside the palace gate, and there were many discussions among themselves.
The topic of discussion is naturally the king of the border.
Lan Yu arrived much earlier today than in the past, and as soon as he arrived at the place, he saw Xu Dazheng standing in front of the palace gate with his eyes closed.
Lan Yu walked up to Xu Da in a few steps and said:
"Wei Guogong, did you write the excerpt that the emperor asked you to write?"
Xu Da slowly opened his eyes, and after seeing the blue jade clearly, he said casually:
"Naturally, I wrote it."
"What's written?"
"Then I don't need to ask, I naturally agree with the decision of the upper position and support the king of the throne."
Lan Yu heard Xu Da's answer, but he smiled:
"It seems that Wei Guogong is not a person who is willing to tell the truth!"
When Xu Da heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked, but on the surface, he pretended to be indifferent, and asked:
"Lan Yu, what do you mean by that?"
Lan Yu lowered her voice and said in Xu Da's ear:
"Sealing the king and defending the border is to weaken the national policy of our generals, and you will agree to it?"
"I said you weren't telling the truth, were you wrong?"
Xu Da's eyes shrank suddenly, and he looked at Lan Yu seriously, and his heart was turbulent.
When did Lan Yu, a reckless man, have such insight?
Xu Da never believed that this was Lan Yu's own idea.
But no matter whose idea this is, Xu Da will not allow Lan Yu to say it, otherwise Lan Yu will not be the only one who is unlucky.
"Lan Yu, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth."
Xu Da's face was extremely serious, and his tone could not be refused:
"This kind of thing must not be heard by the superiors!!"
