Li Xiangrong put down his chopsticks, faced the table full of delicious food and wine, and sighed softly, looking a little lonely. Master Bai, who was accompanying him on the left, immediately asked sensitively: "Why did Li experience sigh, but are the dishes not to your taste?"
Ye Xiaotian also stopped chopsticks, and looked at Li Xiangrong strangely. Li Xiangrong didn't answer, just shook his head, and said to Ye Xiaotian in an inscrutable way: "Master Ye, you and I went to Mercury Mountain for business together, so we can be regarded as good brothers who went through life and death, don't you think so?"
Ye Xiaotian nodded with a smile, and said: "That's natural, the officials have always regarded Brother Li as their elder brother."
Li Xiangrong sighed again, patted Ye Xiaotian on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "But now that my brother has come to your territory, you brother Ye are not interesting, very uninteresting!"
Ye Xiaotian was at a loss, he looked at the table, all of them were delicacies from mountains and seas. This is the third day that Li Xiangrong has come to Huxian County. Except for breakfast, every meal is delicious food of water and land, which is extremely grand. "Taibaiju" has now become Li Xiangrong's designated canteen.
The big shopkeeper Sheng Long was repeatedly instructed by the Huxian officials to treat Li Xiangrong as the emperor who visited him privately. He bought the most expensive and best ingredients and used them all to entertain him. Put on an apron.
Wine is also good wine, you can choose from the year of the crane in Kyoto, the apricot blossom in Shanxi, the Xifeng in Liulin, and the sauce in Bozhou. Tea is also good tea, Yuye Changchun, Guzhu Zisun, Bijian Mingyue, whatever you like, why is Li Jing not satisfied
Li Xiangrong chuckled, ignored Ye Xiaotian's suspicious eyes, just took a toothpick, picked his teeth, drooping eyes, mouth curled up, looking very unsatisfactory. Master Bai's eyes rolled slightly, as if realizing something, he quietly left the table after a while, and went outside to whisper to the shopkeeper Sheng Long.
After the banquet, Luo Xunjian, Ambassador Li and others who accompanied the banquet left one after another, and Ye Xiaotian and Master Bai sent Li Jingjing to the back room. This Taibaiju is not only a big restaurant, but also the best inn in Huxian County. The best room is now Li Jing's residence.
Ye Xiaotian and Master Bai sent Li Jing to the door and left immediately. When they left Taibai Residence, Ye Xiaotian said to Master Bai: "I serve you with good wine and meat every day. What's not satisfied with Lao Li? How do you say it?" Are we not mean enough?"
Master Bai smiled without saying a word, and when they parted, he said to Ye Xiaotian: "Your official figured it out a bit, whether you guessed it right, we will see tomorrow." After saying that, he cupped his hands at Ye Xiaotian and left with a smile , leaving only Ye Xiaotian confused.
Besides, Li Xiangrong pushed open the door unhappily. His upper room is so big that it can cover four ordinary guest rooms. There is a study room, a bathroom, and a living room. The middle lamps and candles shine brightly, as bright as day.
When Li Xiangrong raised his eyes, he saw a pair of beauties standing in the room. As soon as he saw him coming, he prostrated himself, and said softly, "Nu Nu has seen the elder."
I saw these two beauties, one was slender, her skin was as snowy as jade, she was wearing an evening gown, her breasts were half exposed, her white, tender and tall body trembled and fell silently, the round hemisphere was shiny and white Fluffy, about twenty-five or six years old, the sweetness, maturity, plumpness, and beauty of the flesh filled his vision...
Li Xiangrong finally took his eyes off, and then looked at the woman next to him, his eyes lit up again, this girl was at most fifteen or sixteen years old, with a small waist like a willow, immature eyebrows, petite figure, and a little baby fat powder balls She has a pretty face, wearing a Miao dress and silver ornaments, her body sparkles when she moves slightly, and Li Xiangrong's eyes are also shining.
Mr. Li's drunkenness seemed to suddenly become a little more serious, and he asked, "You... are you...?"
The two beauties, one big and one small, pursed their lips and smiled at the same time, they came up to him and grabbed his arms, and said softly: "Nu Nu Hong'er (Yao'er), wait for the elder to sleep!"
The next day, Li Xiangrong dragged his two soft cotton legs, and when he saw Ye Xiaotian and Master Bai, he said with a smile on his face: "Oh, two adults, you are so interesting, so interesting, hahaha, this makes Li What an embarrassment."
Master Bai bowed his hands to him, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has worked hard, and it's a small gesture, just to express the hearts and minds of my whole Hu County, it's not a respect, it's not a respect."
Li Xiangrong smiled from ear to ear and said: "Where is it, Li is very satisfied with your hospitality. The two adults are so attentive, and Li is really embarrassed. Since you are so interesting, Li will definitely be enough. I Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood! Understood!" Mr. Bai smiled, but Ye Xiaotian was still at a loss. Taking a chance, he quietly asked Mr. Bai for advice: "Old Bai, what does Old Li mean?"
Master Bai smiled, and said meaningfully to Ye Xiaotian: "My lord, you have a beautiful concubine in your family, who is attentive to you. Li Jingli is alone outside, but he is cold and sleepless. We can't be full. I don't know if I'm hungry. I'm hungry. You understand." I mean it?"
Ye Xiaotian muttered to himself: "So that's what it means..."
※※※
When Li Xiangrong was in Hu County, Zhao Wenyuan had already carried the coffin back to Bozhou. According to the system, if the parents of an official die, no matter what official position the person holds, they must return to their ancestral home for 27 months from the day they learn of the funeral.
If it is an important figure in the cabinet or a border guard, because it involves the country's political situation or military, it is generally necessary to file a letter to the court and wait for the court's permission. After writing a letter, he left Hu County in a hurry.
To Yu Junting's surprise, Zhao Wenyuan didn't send someone to report the funeral to Bozhou at all. He was worried that he was out of town. Once the brothers in the family heard the news, they would divide the family property first, and the dust would be settled when he returned, even though he had a father. "Wills", it is difficult to take out the fat in other people's mouths.
So Yang Yinglong got the news from the eyeliner he arranged in Si Yamen, the chief envoy of Guiyang, and learned that his powerful arm, Zhao Xin, had died. The promotion of any one person will cause vacancies in other positions, and a series of adjustments is bound to be necessary.
The Yang family has been operating Bozhou for nearly 800 years. The Zhou Dynasty in ancient times, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty added up to less than 800 years, which shows the vigorous vitality of the Tusi family. After eight hundred years of operation, Bozhou has formed an independent and stable bureaucratic system. The determination of any important position needs to consider all aspects of the relationship. Yang Yinglong needs to consider carefully.
At the same time, he also learned that Tongren Zhang Zhifu intends to promote Ye Xiaotian as an official of the government, and the master Bai will be promoted to the county magistrate on the spot. A new official, and this idea was actually proposed by Yu Junting.
Yang Yinglong is plotting against Tongren, and he really doesn't want Ye Xiaotian to go to this place. Yu Junting only thinks that Ye Xiaotian can keep an eye on the monkey by assigning him an idle job, but he knows that Ye Xiaotian has another identity, so this person's energy cannot be underestimated. watch for.
It's a pity that he and Yu Junting used each other, including their secret marriage contract as part of the cooperation, so they both concealed something from each other, and neither of them revealed all their cards to the other party, which caused an unequal information, and thus They often do things that undermine each other.
Before, Yu Junting didn't know that he had a secret agreement with Zhan's family, so he made a self-defeating decision. This time, because Yu Junting didn't know Ye Xiaotian's identity as the Gu Sect Venerable, he once again made a decision that contradicted Yang Yinglong. When Yang Yinglong got the news, the Chief Secretary of Guizhou had already reported the report to the imperial court. If Yang Yinglong prevented the appointment of a promoted official, it would be too eye-catching, so he could only swallow his anger and secretly hoped that the imperial court would veto the proposal.
The turmoil in the court has not subsided so far. The liquidation of Zhang Juzheng is coming to an end after more than a year. The person who presided over the matter was Zhang Siwei, the successor chief assistant. Zhang Siwei originally joined the cabinet by ingratiating Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng did not value him as much as Shen Shixing.
After Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei became the chief assistant. If he wanted to keep his position, he had to step on Zhang Juzheng according to the holy will. In order to establish his own prestige, he still had to step on Zhang Juzheng, so Zhang Siwei stepped on Zhang Juzheng. He was very happy, not only stepped on Zhang Juzheng, but also stomped down the great eunuch Feng Bao who had lost his holy family.
In addition to these two achievements, he also imitated Zhang Juzheng and made his son a Jinshi during his tenure as chief assistant for more than a year, but his prestige and authority were far less than Zhang Juzheng back then, so he did not dare to be as blatant as Zhang Juzheng and directly give My son arranges a champion.
As Zhang Juzheng's heir, Shen Shixing did not agree with Zhang Siwei's series of actions, but under the current general environment, he could only protect himself, and it was inconvenient to fight against Zhang Siwei and the emperor in these matters. It was not until the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng came to an end and the two had differences in political views that they began to confront each other.
Zhang Siwei's stomping had already been done well, and he was about to stomp Shen Shixing half to death again, but God refused to let him go, so he let his father die at this moment.
Thinking back when Zhang Juzheng died of his father, he was begging for nothing and refused to leave the position of chief assistant, so that he was scolded when he was alive, and he was still scolded when he was dead. Reluctantly, he had no choice but to resign and leave, and went home to observe his filial piety.
This time, Shen Shixing was successfully promoted to become the chief assistant of the dynasty. When the memorial about Hu County was sent to the court, it happened to be the time when Zhang Siwei left and Shen Shixing came to power. Shen Shixing is more inclined to Zhang Juzheng's policy ideas, but although he is open-minded, his temperament is very gentle, not as radical as Zhang Juzheng.
Running Guizhou, turning Huling into Huxian, and setting up officials to govern, intends to use this as a breakthrough to break the self-reliant and autistic situation in Guizhou for thousands of years. The radical measures were all taken by Zhang Juzheng when he was in office.
As Zhang Juzheng's heir, Shen Shixing also attaches great importance to the management of Guizhou, but he does not agree with Zhang Juzheng's unscrupulous practices to achieve his goals. He hopes to use dignified means to change Guizhou with subtle effects.
After the news about Hu County was reported, Shen Shixing thought it over carefully. Master Bai was the former magistrate of Jiangpu County, and he had no background in Guizhou. use. If the master book is used, the original county magistrate will be promoted to the county magistrate, and the former county magistrate will have to be transferred away, so that the new county magistrate will be able to preside over government affairs. Therefore, Shen Shoufu also agreed to the proposal to promote Ye Xiaotian as the official of Tongren.
So, with a swipe of Shen Shixing's pen, that scourge, that Tai Sui, that monkey who caused trouble, was sent to Tongren Mansion.
