"Tsk, tsk, this grace is truly amazing!"
There was a bit of sourness in Xie Jin's words, "Since the emperor came to the throne, no one has been praised so highly? This time, Li Yixing... is in the limelight!"
Li Jinglong glanced outside. Li Zhigang was standing in the corridor outside the South Study Room, smiling and greeting the courtiers coming and going. His face was full of unconcealable pride and ambition.
"It's so sour!" Li Jinglong smiled at Xie Jin, "Did it taste bad?"
"Me?" Xie Jin curled his lips, "Do I deserve it?"
"As long as you're not a fool, you can tell!" Li Jinglong leaned back, the iron egg plate in his hand clattered, "Xiaojie, you are still immature!"
Xie Jin turned his head and looked directly.
"You can't even lie!" Li Jinglong laughed.
Jie Jin's face turned red and he muttered, "It's not like you don't know who I am!"
"Well, it's just because you know that I talk too much. I don't even bother to talk to others! I don't like to see jokes!" Li Jinglong leaned over and whispered, "You are just too lonely and self-admired. Just follow whoever you like.
, leave them alone if you don’t like them! It’s immature..."
"My true temperament is not a hypocrite!" Xie Jin lowered his head and polished his ink, preparing to write the edict for Li Zhigang's promotion.
"Look!" Li Jinglong grinned, "You unknowingly scolded me!" He said, paused, "Do you think true temperament is a good thing? Do you think it's a good word? What sounds good is true.
As for temperament, the worst thing to say is that he has no brains!"
"Do you know why now you have only been responsible for drafting edicts for the emperor and teaching the prince in the East Palace, without any actual errands?"
Xie Jin didn't like hearing it anymore and corrected him, "I'm still the general manager of Yingtian Times!"
"Yeah!" Li Jinglong nodded, "So what? It just looks good, sounds good, does it have real power or benefits?"
Xie Jin was silent, his mind a little confused.
Tie Xuan, who served as the emperor's companion at the same time as him, was already the governor of a province. The next step will definitely be to ascend to the throne and rank in the sixth department of the court. Jing Qing at the beginning was penniless compared to him, but now he is also the governor of a province.
, in charge of the power of life and death.
Although he, Jie Jin, was the Minister of Nanshufang and had access to the core secrets of the Ming Empire, he knew in his heart that he, the Minister of Nanshufang, was incomparable to the other seven. His greatest role was to decorate the reputation of scholars.
"Well, that's all I have to say, you are no longer young! Think for yourself!" Li Jinglong said, patted Xie Jin on the shoulder with a somewhat awkward hand, and said with a smile, "We are true friends, and I am your age.
I came here, so I see some things more clearly than you!" He said, sighing, "Official circles... There is no room for true temperament in this world, it's all fucking hypocrisy!"
Suddenly, Xie Jin felt that there was something in Li Jinglong's words.
"Is there something on your mind?" Xie Jin asked.
"Nothing!" Li Jinglong smiled bitterly and sighed, "It's just a sigh!" As he said that, he looked out the window.
The news that the emperor had promoted Li Zhigang spread like wildfire, and the courtiers who came and went gathered around Li Zhigang and kept saying good things.
"Earlier, I, Li Jinglong, said that I have friends all over the world!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "If someone asks me for something, as long as it does not violate the principles, I will almost never refuse them! But as for me, I am afraid of causing trouble to others, so I rarely do anything.
ask for help!"
Hearing this, Xie Jin curled his lips.
The words sounded a bit like trying to beautify oneself, but I couldn't find anything to refute.
Lao Li is still good as a person and good at work!
"In the past, there were big and small things going on in my family. I didn't even need to post anything about it, but the people were just crazy!" Li Jinglong said again, "But this time I'm sick, who do you think came to see me?" He sneered again.
He said, "The day I fell ill, everyone in the capital knew about it, but no one came to the door."
"That day was different..." Xie Jin whispered, "Didn't something happen?"
"Hmph!" Li Jinglong turned his head and sneered, "But the day after the accident, there was a whole city manhunt! The threshold of my house is almost flat!"
Xie Jin was a little confused and couldn't figure it out for a while.
"No one came to see me because I was scolded by the emperor. People thought I was sick because they were scared! They thought that I, Li Jinglong, would be a bastard who cheated on me from now on, and it would be difficult for me to stand up!" Li Jinglong added, "But after what happened, I
There’s an endless stream of guests, guess why?”
Jie Jin rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty..."
"That's right!" Li Jinglong curled his lips, "The emperor went to see me in person! He also took the prince with him and called the imperial doctor. His concern was beyond words, and his sadness came from his feelings, right?"
Xie Jin understood and nodded with a smile.
"They saw that the emperor cares about me, and I survived the catastrophe!" Li Jinglong said with a bit of disdain, "This person always makes his move according to the wind. So, are you really hot-tempered? Who are you really hot-tempered with?
?You think you are really stupid, but others look at you stupid. Ha!"
At this moment, Xie Jin violently kicked Li Jinglong under the table.
Li Zhigang walked in square steps with his hands behind his back, and the spring breeze came in proudly from outside.
"Zhang Butang!" Li Zhigang smiled at Zhang Meng first, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have lost your temper!"
"I'm old and weak!" Zhang Yan smiled, "I can't compare to you in your prime!"
"You have to take care of yourself!"
"I can't die!" Zhang Yan smiled heartily.
Not far away, Li Jinglong gave Xie Jin a look.
He said silently, "Look at the man with the tail raised meeting the old fox!"
Jie Jin looked back, meaning, "Li Zhi just joined the Ministry of Finance and was protesting to Zhang Yan! Zhang Yan should be telling him that as long as I don't die, you will never be able to take up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance!"
At this time, Zhang Yan smiled again and cupped his hands, "Yi Xing, congratulations!"
"What the hell! I'm ashamed of myself!" Li Zhigang said with a smile.
"Hey, now that you have the title of Shangshu, don't say the word "lower official" in front of me!" Zhang Yan looked kindly.
"You are a senior, you deserve it!" Li Zhigang couldn't hide his pride on his face, but he was still very humble on the whole.
But people, either they are proud or humble, the combination of the two makes them look awkward and fake!
Later, Li Zhigang said to Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, "Wei Guogong, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Xu Huizu was gritting his teeth and arguing with the official document from the Fifth Army Commander's Office. He raised his eyelids and smiled, nodding silently.
This is in line with his usual style of keeping a distance from everyone.
Li Zhigang looked around again. Hou Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was not there, Ru Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Bao Zhao, the Minister of the Integrity Council, were not there...
"What a pity, they are not here!" Li Zhigang felt a little disappointed.
Then his eyes fell on the meticulous Xin Yande in the corner. He wanted to speak but didn't dare.
"It's better not to ask for trouble!"
He thought again that fortunately Bao Zhao was not here, otherwise he would have started spraying directly.
I want to show off, but there is no one to show off to. This feeling is like a short night, but the output is only three minutes, which is really a fly in the ointment.
At this time, he looked around again and said curiously, "Hey, why don't you see His Royal Highness?"
"His Royal Highness is not feeling well and is being treated at home!" Li Jinglong stood up with difficulty and said with a smile, "I am so happy and congratulated!"
"My lord, you have disgraced Xianguan!" Li Zhigang hurriedly returned the greeting, and then said with concern, "I heard that you were sick just after Xianguan returned to Beijing! I didn't believe it at first, you are in such a strong body... My father-in-law
Master, your health is still important!"
"Hey! It's not uncommon for people who eat whole grains to get sick!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Actually, illness is not a bad thing. Nothing in life is smooth sailing. A minor illness is a warning from God! It's better than being careless in the future.
A serious illness and death are much better!"
"You are right!" Li Zhigang didn't seem to understand the meaning of Li Jinglong's words. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and asked seriously, "I heard that your family has a lot of property, sir?"
