Chapter 7: An Anecdote from the Inn
In Li Shanchang's study
Li Shanchang and Li Cunyi sat opposite each other, silent. Xu Ruyi had been away for about an hour, and the two of them had been sitting quietly for an hour.
"Brother" Li Cunyi spoke, "I have done this, I think it's okay." β
Li Shanchang glanced at Li Cunyi and said in a deep voice, "If our lives can be exchanged for the life of a madman, of course the old man will not hesitate." But... Li Shanchang shook his head, "It is still unknown whether Zhu Yuanzhang will stay Fei'er, after all, there are still some risks." β
Li Cunyi slapped the table, "Brother, the left and right are dead, the little eunuch is right, you can fight, and it is worth fighting." Anyway, it's not a loss, if it happens, our Li family can also stay behind. Besides. If we can ... He will also beg His Royal Highness the Emperor to speak for us!"
What can it be? Li Cunyi did not say it.
"This is just what he said, and it is still unknown whether he can say that he can move the emperor's eldest grandson. Li Shanchang was still a little hesitant.
Li Shanchang has been cautious all his life. He is not like Xu Da, who is as good at fighting as Chang Yuchun, and is not as good as Liu Bowen who strategizes and wins thousands of miles. But in that year, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and set up six national princes, and in terms of merits, Li Shanchang ranked first. It depends on stability. For Li Shanchang, everything must be done or not done, and it must be more than 90% sure to be feasible. At that time, he accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, mainly responsible for logistics, internal affairs, and the supply of grain and grass. It is precisely because of him that Zhu Yuanzhang can fight outside without worries. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of trust in Li Shanchang, and Li Shanchang was also worthy of this trust, and he never made a mistake or omission, the reason was that he was stable enough and unwilling to take risks.
"Oh, brother," Li Cunyi continued to persuade, "When Hu Weiyong was young, you sought stability, and now you still seek stability." β
Li Cunyi is talking about when he and Hu Weiyong wanted to pull Li Shanchang against Zhu Yuanzhang.
Note that it is a confrontation, not a rebellion.
In fact, since ancient times, the power of the monarch and the power of the vassal have always been opposed, and one has gone and the other has never been an exception. In the Song Dynasty, it was said that the monarch and the scholars ruled the world together, but in fact, to put it bluntly, the power of the ministers overtook the power of the monarch.
After Hu Weiyong eliminated Liu Bowen, he wanted to unite the civilian-official group against Zhu Yuanzhang, not to rebel directly, otherwise Li Shanchang would have to kill him. Hu Weiyong and Li Cunyi formed a family of sons and daughters at that time, so as to win over Li Shanchang, the first civil official. It's a pity that Li Shanchang felt that the timing was wrong (at that time, Jinyiwei had just been established. ), also understood Zhu Yuanzhang (ruthless), so he refused. But he couldn't stand the persuasion of Li Cunyi and Hu Weiyong, so he said, "You will do it yourself." Li Shanchang knew in his heart that no matter what his attitude was, since Li Cunyi had already been involved, he would not be able to run away in the future. The phrase "you will do it for yourselves" means, I am not optimistic about you, but you can try, don't overdo it. As a result, Li Cunyi and Hu Weiyong's understanding of this sentence became "You can do whatever you want, there is me." Coincidentally, Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of this sentence is the same. That's what happened after that, and it's really in vain.
"Brother, listen to me once, try it" Li Cunyi accentuated his tone, and pleaded in his voice, "This is also for Fei'er"
Li Shanchang slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a faint light in his eyes.
Li Cunyi was happy in his heart, and the brother in his heart appeared again. β
"Cunyi" Li Shanchang spoke, "Things can be done, but what is the way to do it." Fei'er is crazy, not enough to save his life. β
Li Cunyi didn't say anything, he knew that his brother should have made up his mind in his heart, he just had to listen.
"I'll give Fei'er medicine at night, and tomorrow if Fei'er is really crazy, you find someone, cut off Fei'er's arms, and then let that person commit suicide. Later, I would claim that an assassin had entered the house and cut off Fei'er's arms, and Fei'er was momentarily irritated and went mad. β
"This... Li Cunyi was stunned: "Is this necessary? Fei'er is crazy, and I want to... β
"It's necessary," Li Shanchang waved his hand violently, "I know Zhu Chongba, he is a person who does things absolutely and is suspicious by nature." A madman can pretend, and he may not be able to cure it in the future, but Zhu Chongba will not take this risk and stay this root. But a madman without arms is different, plus my little exploits back then, Zhu Chongba may let Fei'er go. β
"What did the little eunuch say?" Li Cunyi hesitated.
"Do it too, and Fei'er's assassination will make this matter more logical. After that, you arrange the people, and then γγγγγ β
In a few simple sentences, there are hundreds of lives lostγγγγγγ
"Okay, brother, don't worry. Leave it to me," Li Cunyi nodded.
After saying something, Li Shanchang closed his eyes again and waved his hand, "You go and arrange it." β
"En" Li Cunyi agreed, turned around and walked out.
Looking at the sky, the sun was about to set. I don't know if I'll be able to see it tomorrowγγγγγ Li Cunyi shook his head, "What do you think, my corpse should be cold by this time tomorrow." β
Let's talk about Xu Ruyi.
When I left the Li Mansion during the day, it was lunchtime.
Now that he has finished talking to Brother Li Shanchang, then he will finish his business. The seeds are planted and they just sit back and wait for them to bloom. After a long time, Xu Ruyi came to the Tongfu Inn located in Dongzhimen. Tongfu Inn is not far from Yanwang's Mansion. Xu Ruyi is here to step on some for tomorrow's good show.
Entering the Tongfu Inn, Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him, "Xiao Gong Kilometer, please, you are the only one, what do you want to eat?"
The shopkeeper saw Xu Ruyi wearing the eunuch uniform in the palace, but he didn't dare to slack off, no matter how young he was, he was also in the palace, who knew who his godfather was, and whether he had a backer?
"On the second floor, by the window, find me a clean table, a good banquet on the table, and a pot of wine. Xu Ruyi said, and walked to the second floor. Throw a piece of silver about two taels to Xiao Er. (In ancient times, two taels of silver were enough to buy a good banquet.) οΌ
When the banquet was ready, the shopkeeper shouted, "The dishes are ready, the guest officer, you use it slowly" and went to work elsewhere.
Xu Ruyi first poured himself a glass of wine to quench his thirst, and then began to eat slowly. Xu Ruyi couldn't finish a table of dishes, he mainly wanted to taste the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, there was enough money.
When the money was enough, Xu Ruyi was never willing to wronged himself.
Anyway, who came up with the name Tongfu, and what else is Yuelai, it seems that it has been in every TV series before. I always thought it was made up, but I didn't expect to encounter one in the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, if this is a chain store, how much money does the boss have to make. β
Xu Ruyi was eating while thinking nonsense.
Suddenly, I heard a commotion in the private room not far away. Xu Ruyi looked intently, only to see that the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a Humpty Dumpty man rolled out of the door and fell to the ground. Before he could stand up, a young man rushed out of the private room, dressed in a gorgeous costume, wearing a Wensheng son's scarf, wearing a Wensheng son's clothes, and a small folding fan pinned to his waist, his face was delicate, but a pair of thin eyes looked a little prodigal.
The young man came out of the private room, punched and kicked the fat man on the ground, and said something in his mouth: "Mom, you are sick, think clearly, it was not the master who robbed your daughter-in-law, it was your daughter-in-law who hooked up with me! Besides, are you worthy of such a daughter-in-law who sells firewood? The man on the ground screamed when he was beaten, and he never stood up. The young man kicked the fat man in the stall. The fat man rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Slep" the young man spit on the fat man with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and saw that he really fainted, so he kicked a few more times, hating and hating.
"Little two," the young man shouted.
"Master" Xiao Er hurriedly came
"I'm not in a good mood, I won't eat it," said the young man, taking out a piece of silver from his bosom and throwing it to him. Turn around and go downstairs.
Xiao Er's hand tested the fat man's snort on the ground, and he still had air. Shaking his head, he beckoned the two guys, ready to throw the fat man out.
"Alas... Sighs abounded all around,
"What kind of sin have you done, my wife has been robbed and beaten," said one guest
"Don't talk nonsense," a person next to him said, "This time it really wasn't Zhang Gongzi who robbed it"
"Oh, what's going on?" said one of them
"Hmph... The man didn't answer, just snorted twice.
"Xiao Er, come and give this man a pot of wine, and it will be counted in my account" The one who asked asked asked for a pot of wine for this person.
"Okay," said the man, who nodded when he saw that there was wine, "I heard that this fat man is a woodcutter, and his lady was originally a young lady in a wealthy businessman, and she was not very favored at home, and she fell in love with this woodcutter, so she eloped with him and came to Nanjing." After taking a sip of wine, he continued, "As a result, this little lady was not used to living a hard life again, and then regretted it, so she hooked up with our Zhang Gongzi again." The woodcutter chops firewood and sells firewood during the day, and this little lady has a private meeting with Zhang Gongzi at home. Later, it was discovered, and this scene was born... β
"Oh~" The people around nodded their heads
"I see"
"I'll just say it."
"No, I said how Zhang Gongzi beat people so justifiably this time. β
"What does it mean to be reasonable?"
"Originally, Zhang Gongzi never did it himself when he beat people before"
"Haha"
"Hahaha"
γγγγγγ
A tragic event slowly turned into a joke on the lips of the spectators.
Xu Ruyi listened, shook his head, didn't take it to heart, and continued to eat his own food.
"This Yun Zheng is also pitiful, in fact, he didn't do anything wrong. β
Xu Ruyi put down his chopsticks suddenly, "Yun Zheng, this fat man is called Yun Zheng?"
I only heard the other side continue to say, "I know this woodcutter, Yun Zheng from Lazy Lane in the north of the city, I said why I haven't watched it for two or three days, it turns out that something happened at home." β
Fate is like that. I don't know when I came, and I thought about it. Xu Ruyi stood up, walked out of the inn, and saw the fat man moaning low at the base of the wall on the corner of the street, obviously awake.
'Yun Zheng, how can someone with this name be so cowardly, it's a shame. Shaking his head, Xu Ruyi walked towards Yun Zheng, "Can you still stand up?"
Hearing the voice beside him, Yun Zheng struggled to open his eyes, "Who are you?"
"If you want revenge, come with me. Xu Ruyi didn't answer Yun Zheng's words, after saying it to himself, he turned around and left.
Looking at Xu Ruyi's thin back, Yun Zheng didn't know what to think, gritted his teeth, stood up, and followed step by step.
For about half an hour, Xu Ruyi and Yun Zheng stood in front of the door of Renxin Hall.
The door of Renxintang was closed, and the door panels were not removed.
Xu Ruyi looked at Yun Zheng and "went up and knocked on the door"
Yun Zheng was sweating profusely, and when he walked this way, he was about to faint from the pain on his body, but he still obediently stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Knock Knock"
"Who's the shopkeeper is sick and won't be open today. Xu Ruyi heard Li Er's voice
Yun Zheng wanted to answer, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was angry, and he fainted again.
Xu Ruyi ignored it, stepped forward and knocked on the door again, "It's me"
Li Er, who was inside, heard Xu Ruyi's voice, so he removed the door panel and opened the door, "Little father-in-law, why are you here again?"
Xu Ruyi pointed to Yun Zheng on the ground, "Help him in." After speaking, he walked into the pharmacy.
Li Er looked at Yun Zheng on the ground, "This guy can't have seven or eight hundred catties?"
Qian Kemu in the room looked at Xu Ruyi in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "What's the matter... β
It's no wonder that Qian Kemu is reluctant to see Xu Ruyi. As soon as Xu Ruyi left in the morning, a brocade guard came to check and asked Qian Kemu what Xu Ruyi had done. Qian Kemu didn't hide it, he said it 1510, and gave some silver to send everyone away. I didn't expect to see Xu Ruyi again in the afternoon.
It is said that for Jinyiwei's inquiry in the morning, Qian Kemu wanted to hide it, but after thinking about it, as long as Xu Ruyi used that crazy drug, this matter would definitely not be hidden. It's better to just say it. So that's it.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Qian Kemu asked, "What is the little father-in-law doing this time?" β
Xu Ruyi said softly, "I have a friend who was injured, you can help him diagnose and treat him, use good medicine, money is not a problem." β
"Yes," Qian carved wood arched his hand.
Xu Ruyi turned around, saw that Li Er hadn't dragged Yun Zheng in, shook his head, and stepped forward. Stretched out his right hand and grabbed the placket of Yun Zheng's chest, but he didn't see how hard he could, so he grabbed Yun Zheng. "Where to put it?" Xu Ruyi asked, turning his head.
"Here, here," Qian Kemu said, pointing to a chaise longue in the southwest corner. I thought to myself, 'The strength of the right hand of the little door master is no less than 200 catties, so it can be seen that there is still some skill.' β
In fact, Li Er also has kung fu, but it is mostly light kung fu, and he is not good at these strength work.
After Xu Ruyi put Yun Zheng on the recliner and put it away, Qian Kemu stepped forward and grabbed Yun Zheng's wrist and began to diagnose the pulse.
On the other side, Li Erzhong closed the door again and began to open the door panel. 'This day, the door is cleaned'
The effort was not great, and Qian Kemu's brows gradually furrowed. Put down Yun Zheng's wrist. The probe touched Yun Zheng's underneath. He said in a deep voice, "Little father-in-law, this friend of yours has some skin injuries on his body, and he is not in the way. It's just that his crotch seems... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the future. β
"En" Xu Ruyi nodded and did not speak.
Qian Kemu stood up, came to the counter, picked up a small casserole, and began to grab the medicine "Li Er"
"Shopkeeper's. β
"I'll fry this medicine in a moment. Three to one. Give that fat man a drink. β
"I know the shopkeeper," Li Er responded.
Xu Ruyi closed his eyes and waited for Yun Zheng to wake up
