Li Yuanying brought such a large group of people over, so it was natural that some people would move their seats. His Majesty Li Er had already prepared for this. During the year-end assessment, some seats had been vacated for Li Yuanying to put the people he brought in.
The governor's surname is Cui, he is a kind and fat man, his fat is quite uniform, he doesn't look ugly, but he is kind.
Cui Inspector Cui had only been in office for only a year, and the exams were not bad. He heard that Li Yuanying was going to become a feudal clan this year, and he was worried.
Others may think that there is no need to pay too much attention to Li Yuanying. After all, His Majesty Li Er has so many younger brothers. At most, Li Yuanying only took advantage of his late birth before being hugged and raised by His Majesty Li Er. But Cui Jieshi is not an ordinary person, his ability to see things from small things is far superior to others.
It would not be surprising if they were simply brought up in the palace. There are so many princes who grew up in the palace. Isn't King Qi next door the real son of His Majesty Li Er? It's not like killing and killing!
Li Yuanying was different.
Others don't know, but Cui Jieshi knows that Xu Jingzong, who was ranked as the 18th scholar of the Prince of Qin's mansion back then, was raped because of Li Yuanying. Although he saved his life because of his in-laws, his future is gone. For a person who is devoted to power and wealth, it is more cruel than killing him!
If Li Yuanying had no weight in His Majesty Li Er's heart, he would definitely not be able to touch Xu Jingzong.
Cui Jieshi was very vigilant in his heart, he would vacate any position that was vacated by the superiors, and he would never struggle at all. You must know that His Majesty Li Er is a person who can make a hereditary governor for many heroes and his teenage sons. He is not at peace when he sits in the position of governor. He is always worried that His Majesty Li Er's brain is hot again. !
After picking up Li Yuanying, Inspector Cui asked Li Yuanying when he would have a welcome banquet and left. He was neither cold nor courteous, and seemed to be a good person.
Li Yuanying had a good impression of Cui Cishi, but he didn't put too much energy into exploring Cui Cishi's personality. Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he can see people's hearts over time. Anyway, he has to take root in Tengzhou, and he will always be able to see clearly in the future!
Now Li Yuanying has devoted himself to his Prince Teng's mansion.
The location of Prince Teng's Mansion was in line with his preferences. It was obvious that the Palace was built later, but it looked like the entire city of Tengzhou was built around this Palace, which is very grand!
The back mountain is also very big, and you can overlook the whole city when you climb the mountainside. If you go over the back mountain, you will find a small fertile plain, and this small plain also belongs to Prince Teng's Mansion.
What pleased Li Yuanying the most was that there was a lake in the palace, the water of the lake was drawn by running water, and it looked clear and beautiful. Li Yuanying ran around the palace in and out, and was really pleasantly surprised. He immediately went back and wrote a long letter to his imperial brother to flatter him, saying that he couldn't be more satisfied with this palace. up!
In the end, he also mentioned something about Cui Jieshi to His Majesty Li Er, saying that Cui Jieshi was fat and reminded him of his fourth nephew. I heard that people who are fat are less afraid of the cold, but I don’t know if it’s true, so he will ask Governor Cui later!
After Li Yuanying finished writing the letter, he asked someone to send the letter back to Beijing for him. It doesn't matter if you send it slowly, since it's nothing important. He still doesn't know that His Majesty Li Er has a hobby of sharing his flattering letters with his confidantes, so he just feels that he is chatting with his elder brother.
According to Li Yuanying, it is false to say that blood is close relatives and brotherhood is deep. Even if he was not born in the royal family, it is not uncommon for father and son to fight each other and brothers to fight. If you want to really have some feelings, you still have to maintain it on your own!
Li Yuanying was quite complacent.
Look, how hard he is!
Wei Shu didn't know what Li Yuanying wrote to His Majesty Li Er from time to time. She didn't know that Li Yuanying had been blacklisted by Changsun Wuji and others until she received a letter from Wei Zheng, stamping him as the most shameless person in the world. people.
Even through the letter paper, Wei Shu could see Wei Zheng's ferocious look, which showed that Wei Zheng was also tormented by Li Yuanying's flattering letters.
From Wei Shu's point of view, Li Yuanying is a bit shameless as a writer, but His Majesty Li Er is even more shameless! Others receive this kind of letter because they are secretly comfortable. His Majesty Li Er is different. He not only enjoys it, but also develops a hobby of sharing flattering letters with others!
Wei Shu quietly talked to Li Yuanying about it.
The purpose of Wei Zheng writing this to her is to ask her to persuade Li Yuanying not to write so flatteringly!
Li Yuanying heard this, but he was very fond of His Majesty Li Er's hobby. He even educated Wei Shu: "If I were the one who received the letter, I would share it with you. Why can't the emperor share it with Lao Fang and the others? It's human nature, you can't just not allow the emperor to do this or that just because he is the king of a country! This doesn't affect the emperor's governance of the world, and the people may even praise our brotherhood after hearing about it. !"
Wei Shu felt that people who read these letters would only think that the brothers were really stinky and shameless.
But thinking about it, if Li Yuanying got a compliment from His Majesty Li Er, he would definitely tell the world, so Wei Shu would not persuade him.
His Majesty Li Er would like to hear Li Yuanying bragging so much, it's better than replying and scolding Li Yuanying. Anyway, only Fang Xuanling, the emperor's close ministers, was tortured.
After Li Yuanying wrote the letter to His Majesty Li Er, he ran around to see whether Liu Baolin, Wang Yifang and others were satisfied with their residences and whether they needed to change their residences. After a lot of work, the first day they arrived in Tengzhou passed.
Li Yuanying rested happily in the palace that belonged entirely to him, feeling so good that he had two lovely dimples in his dream.
Compared to Li Yuanying's joy, many people didn't sleep well that night. Di Renjie didn't fall asleep, and walked out of the courtyard he had chosen to walk around in the garden. It had just snowed, and the garden was covered with frost and silver everywhere, making the moonlight even colder.
Di Renjie walked outside a gazebo, but saw a lamp in front of him lighting up the night. He looked up and saw Wu Mei standing in the courtyard looking at the lake, thinking about something.
The night is dark, and the lake is also deep. Yiren stands alone under the moonlight. Looking from a distance, people feel a sense of coldness and emptiness.
Di Renjie didn't think much about it for a while, so he went up and asked, "It's so late, haven't you rested yet?"
Wu Mei came back to her senses, turned her head to see Di Renjie, smiled, and said, "I just read some books, and I can't fall asleep, so let's go for a walk." When dealing with her own people, she always restrained her edge, and she couldn't see the slightest sharpness. .
Di Renjie took advantage of the situation and asked, "What books did you read?"
Wu Mei said: "It's nothing special, it's just "Clan Records"."
"Clan History" not only ranks and ranks, but also records the rise and fall of many families. In "Clan Chronicles", the Li family ranks first, the relatives rank second, and the rest are the aristocratic families. For this ranking, many people are not convinced, and the whole Shandong gentry is the same. Even Fang Xuanling and the others secretly choose among the Shandong gentry when they choose their in-laws.
Wu Mei's rereading of "Clan Chronicles" was not a temporary idea, she was thinking about it along the way.
The Li royal family belonged to the Guanlong nobles. This so-called Guanlong nobleman had only been up for less than a hundred years. In the eyes of many nobles, it was no different from the mud-legged ones.
Moreover, the Guanlong aristocrat Hu Feng is prevalent, even if His Majesty Li Er pursues civil governance, many of his ways also reveal that he is not particular about etiquette and ethics. His Majesty Li Er listens patiently on the surface, but in his heart he does not care. Why take it seriously.
If there were not so many confidantes who followed along the way to persuade and persuade, His Majesty Li Er didn't know how much trouble would have happened!
The Li royal family is like this, so naturally they can't be expected to have much awe from the gentry around them, and they can't be expected to let the children who have exhausted the whole family's efforts to cultivate them be loyal to the court.
His Majesty Li Er also whispered about this matter in private, saying that these gentry clans advance and retreat as one, are very united, express the same opinions, and choose and obey the government's decrees deliberately.
His Majesty Li Er noticed the negligence of these gentry, but there was nothing he could do about them.
People would rather not be an official than to praise your Li family's stinky foot, what can you do? If you want to betroth the princess or let someone else's daughter become a princess, they will not be happy!
Li Yuanying felt in his heart that it was kind of His Majesty Li Er to give him half of Henan Province as a fief, but Wu Mei had to think about it: Did His Majesty Li Er really want to give Li Yuanying a big fief, or was it just a broken can? Let Li Yuanying turn the Qilu area, which has always been prosperous in culture and education, upside down, and suppress the arrogance of the aristocratic family
Wu Mei was not sure of His Majesty Li Er's intentions, so she couldn't calm down after reading "Clan History".
Although Li Yuanying has made many friends, it is not enough to ask him to wrestle with the Shandong gentry. Their foundation is still too shallow. His Majesty Li Er, even the emperor, can't do it. What will Li Yuanying do
Since no one else was there, Wu Mei didn't hide her worries, and told Di Renjie everything she was thinking about.
Di Renjie was also silent after listening.
He was born in Taiyuan, and grew up listening to the reputation of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Even if the dynasties change, the family is still a family, and their foundation has not been shaken by the change of owner. In other words, it is a family of iron, the emperor of flowing water, your Li family may not last long, who will do their best to help you stabilize the country
Di Renjie said: "Your Highness won't think about these things."
Li Yuanying didn't have these things in his mind, he was so happy to be able to come to the fiefdom that he jumped three feet high, how could he be in the mood to think about these twists and turns. Li Yuanying didn't ask about his background when making friends, he was willing to make friends with those who could play well with him, and he would not hesitate to post those who looked down on him. Therefore, even if the Qilu nobles despised him, he would not care. According to Li Yuanying's thinking, it must be "If you don't like to play with me, I won't take you to play"!
Wu Mei heard Di Renjie say this, and she also felt the same reason.
Li Yuanying would never think about these issues, he just wanted to have fun.
Wu Mei said: "Then I don't want to either."
Li Yuanying was born with a kind of wonderful luck, and he could bump into good things that others couldn't ask for with their heads smashed! Instead of thinking about it here, they should first think about how to play Tengzhou with Li Yuanying first! Maybe after playing around, their worries will be solved!
The two stood in the pavilion and chatted for a while, they were not worried, and went away separately, resting peacefully for the night.
Early the next morning, Li Yuanying got up early, and called his friends to go out to play and take a good look at his fief.
