Wang Gui decided to meet Lin Jianyue before he officially met the saint, but how to meet needed to be carefully considered, Qi Yunji touched his nose and showed that Lin Jianyue was very different from the ordinary local feudal towns, and he was a little worried about the country and the people.

Li Zili and Li Ziyang did not go back to Xuanwu Lake's house as usual, but stayed together in Lin Jianyue's temporary residence.

Lin Jianyue hadn't taken a few sips of wine, and Li Ziyang had already gone down a few pots.

"Brother-in-law, I'm very happy today, I'm really angry. Qi Yunji's old dog relied on the sycophants to shoot well, he has always had no scruples, and he has done a lot of things that are angry with gods and men, you slap him in the face a few times, and there are many people in Jianning City who applaud. ”

Li Zili was much more steady, and said with some worry: "Qi Yunji has no other skills, and he has a lot of bad skills, so I am afraid that he will be annoyed and angry, and do something unpredictable, so I still have to be careful." ”

"Qi Yunji should have a lot of scheming, but I don't think he has enough courage and won't have much trouble in the future. Don't hide it from the two elder brothers, this time I came to Jianning, just express the attitude of respecting the orthodoxy of the imperial court and not confronting the imperial court, there is no loss in righteousness, and the rest is not important. I still have one more thing to do, the two elder brothers want to send a message to the palace, Yun Xi asked me to go to see Concubine Shu, bring something, and see if Concubine Shuniang sees me. ”

Li Zili was a little gloomy and a little sad.

"In the court, the Li family and Qi Yunji are political opponents. In the palace, Qi Yunji's daughter is also the imperial concubine, and she is quite favored by the saints, she has always been arrogant and domineering, and she has dealt with a lot of bullying by Yunlan. Yun Lan is introverted and weak, probably because she is afraid of affecting her family, so she doesn't say anything, she doesn't see her family much, and even if she meets occasionally, she doesn't have a chance to say anything. I'll send a message into the palace first, it's hard to say if I see you. ”

The emperor does not have to go to court every day, there is a great court every five days, and it would be good if the current saint could show his face, and it will be the court after three days.

Lin Jianyue had nothing to do, and he didn't know anyone, so he decided to take a few people out in civilian clothes to see the situation in Jianning, and the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River made him a little uncomfortable.

The streets near the station are relatively prosperous, with all kinds of luxurious and luxurious restaurants, teahouses, and inns, and there are several large-scale money houses and pawnshops, and there are many people who sell snacks, clothes and cloths, and jugglers.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was about to let someone report it, and he didn't want a housekeeper to look like a person next to him and immediately stepped forward to visit, saying that Wang Xiangye asked him to go to Zhongshan to play, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time, and he has been prepared for a long time, so he is waiting for him to go out.

Lin Jianyue was about to meet Wang Xianggong, an ally of the Li family, but he didn't hesitate, and went directly to follow.

As Wang Gui and a civil official, it is impossible to ride a horse and gallop like Lin Jianyue, so he can only sit in a sedan chair. did not sit in the eight-lift sedan chair that belonged to him, it was the sedan chair of an ordinary official eunuch's family.

The road to Zhongshan is also exquisite, obviously there is a plan, and the walks are all remote and poor places, along the way, I actually saw the starvation, and I have seen several cases of planting grass and selling myself, and most of the poor pedestrians passing by have yellow faces and thin muscles, these cannot be arranged in advance, and it is the current situation outside Jianning City.

Lin Jianyue silently followed the sedan chair slowly, and did not salute Wang Gui in the sedan chair or anything, as if there was something blocked in his heart.

Lin Jianyue is not a saint, but he is a human being, and he is still a person with compassion and status, and he didn't think about Wang Gui's purpose at this time, but he just felt that he should do something, and he was not clear.

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Wang Gui stepped out of the sedan chair, and Lin Jianyue stepped forward to greet him.

Wang Gui is much smaller than Li Boyu, with two long beards, brocade clothes and white robes, a clear face, eyes and a gloomy face.

The two walked side by side towards the mountain, and the retinue only followed from a distance.

"Jianyue, you don't have to think too much, the place I showed you is indeed intentional, but it is the current situation in Daning." Wang Gui didn't call Lin Shuai anything, calling him by his name seemed cordial, and it was more respectful than calling Lin Shuai or something.

"Wang Xiang, don't talk about other places for the time being, but this is Jianning, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, so it's a little too much to say. If the king doesn't know, someone below must be blinded. But the prime minister of the imperial court is the prime minister of the imperial court, and he knows it, but he is still like this, I don't quite understand. ”

"Because my name as the first assistant doesn't live up to the truth! Since his ascension to the throne, the current saint will only reuse such a treacherous and morally corrupt person like Qi Yunji, and those who can do things and want to do things are basically excluded and suppressed, and the places with power are basically occupied, such as your father-in-law, whose reputation is high, what can he do for the people's livelihood? If I hadn't been the elder of the Three Dynasties, and I needed to keep the court stable, I would have been kicked out a long time ago. ”

"The saint only cares about having fun, he is not very old, and his body is about to be hollowed out. He never served as a director, and he didn't want to listen to anything he didn't like, and the government was corrupt and filthy officials were rampant. If it goes on like this, you don't need to call Hu people, or it won't take many years for you to collapse first. ”

Lin Jianyue thought for a while and said, "If even the king can't do it, then who has the way?" I'm just a small local feudal town, so I'm afraid I can't help much. ”

The truth can be said, but it cannot be said in a simple way.

Wang Gui didn't say anything more, just shook his head and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Zhongshan was not high, and the two soon reached the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is surrounded by purple clouds, surrounded by pines and cypresses, which makes people feel happy.

Looking up, you can see Xiaomao Mountain in the southeast, Tianbao Mountain in the west, Xuanwu Lake in the north, and Yanque Lake in the south of the mountain. Mountains and rivers are connected, and tigers are standing on the dragon plate.

Wang Gui sighed: "Such a great river and mountain, but I can't protect it well, my heart hurts." ”

Lin Jianyue said: "Isn't it just to protect the Tatars and protect the people by throwing away my family and disregarding my life in front of us?" I, Lin Jianyue, can't do what Wang Xiang said, but I can do what I should do, so I don't have to sigh. Wang Xiang, maybe we have such and such problems, but it is still worth fighting for. I'm just a martial artist, I can't speak, which makes Wang Xiangjian smile. ”

Wang Gui stared at Lin Jianyue, and at this time he no longer thought about any interests, and said directly: "Jianyue, what you said is very good, but you also underestimated yourself, you can do more." You can't expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains by desperately, you have to become strong yourself. And to be strong, you must remove the cancer from your body. ”

"Jianyue, I need you to lead troops into Beijing when necessary, to admonish the Qing monarch, and restore the real order of the imperial court, do you dare?"

Lin Jianyue was shocked, he didn't expect to hear these words, and couldn't help but say: "If you lead the troops across the border without an edict, you will rebel." What's more, if you are still in Beijing, and you are thousands of miles away, how can you succeed? "It's not that he doesn't dare, it's just that there are no conditions, and there is really no hypocrisy at all.

Wang Gui laughed and said: "There will definitely be an edict when the time comes, when you include Jingxi Road, Huainan Road, and Jinghu Road in the future, what is the difficulty in entering Beijing?" The key is to have a heart for the country and the people! ”

I was bent on finding allies, and before I started, I found them myself.

Lin Jianyue felt that Wang Gui was the best ally.
