Chapter 52
"Are you Li Xiao?" Yang Lian looked at Li Xiao curiously.
Although the news from Yushitai was not as good as that from Jinyiwei, it was definitely not that slow. Although they didn't believe the rumors coming back from Shanhaiguan, these two couldn't help but take a look when they saw Li Xiao.
Li Xiao is not tall, and can only be said to be of medium height. Wearing a grass-green cotton military uniform, his eyebrows are not good-looking, but he has a heroic spirit.
"That's right!" Bao Zong can be considered a seventh-grade official, and now Li Xiao is a serious regimental cadre.
"What's going on here?" Zuo Guangdou also looked at Li Xiao and then asked.
"My subordinates don't understand the rules and didn't give me money for traveling, so...! Shame on you!" Mao Wenlong hurried over and held his hands with his smile.
"Brother Mengbai's reputation has been ruined by you! Mr. Mao, it just so happens that we are also here to pay a visit to Lord Shangshu. Come together! Please!"
After Yang Lian finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into Zhao Nanxing's Shangshu Mansion. The disciples looked at it blankly, thinking that they had already fucked the women in Yang Lian's family. But they did not dare to say it out loud, and could only look at Yang Lian and Zuo
Guang Dou brought Mao Wenlong, Li Xiao and others into the Shangshu Mansion.
Arriving outside Zhao Nanxing's study, Yang Lian stopped Mao Wenlong and Li Xiao. After all, this was Zhao Nanxing's study. Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were juniors, so it was extremely impolite to bring people in without permission.
"Commander Mao, please wait for a while. The two of us will go in and greet each other." Zuo Guangdou was quite polite to Mao Wenlong. He cupped his hands to Mao Wenlong and then walked straight into Zhao Nanxing's study.
The study is where officials work at home, and Zhao Nanxing is reading a book with several staff members. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the country's sacrifices, celebrations, and the marriages of the emperor and clan members, etc. Although it is busy, it is not busy with serious things.
To say that I am not busy is pure nonsense!
Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian entered the study and saw Zhao Nanxing sitting in the center of the study. On the guest seat next to him, Li Sancai, an old friend of the Donglin Party, sat.
"I'm here to pay my respects to Lord Shangshu!"
"No need! Sit down! What happened outside just now? It was so noisy. Could it be that I am hiding at home and I am not clean?" Zhao Nanxing pointed at the seat casually and asked these two Donglin Party backbones who were about fifty years old.
Zhao Nanxing still admires his strength. They are all his students, so they can be regarded as indifferent to others.
Zhao Nanxing has been having a headache recently. When Liaoyang had just fallen the year before last, he proposed that Li Sancai be appointed as the Liaodong manager, but he was attacked by a group of people.
Now I want to nominate Sun Chengzong as the governor of Jiliao, but he has been widely opposed before he even submitted a letter. After listening to the emperor's tone, the emperor said nothing and had no attitude at all. This makes Zhao Nanxing like a tiger catching a tortoise, and there is no place for him.
Scratching.
Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou first saluted Li Sancai, then sat down and said, "Just now, the general of the Liaodong Army came to visit the house. Because he didn't understand the rules of the capital, he offended the disciples. So...!"
"General Soldier of Liaodong, is that called Mao Wenlong?" Before Zhao Nanxing could speak, Li Sancai interrupted Zuo Guangdou.
"Yes! It's that General Mao."
"Hmph! The eunuch's wings, I think this guy has some eyes for you, he should be rewarded!" Li Sancai let out a heavy "hmph" in his nose.
"Uh...!" Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou looked at each other. After all, Li San is the senior. He has been friends with Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing, and Zou Yuanbiao for decades. It is not easy for them, the younger generation, to refute them face to face.
"Oh! By the way, this General Mao's uncle is Shen Guangzuo, the Chief Minister of Shandong Province. Just now he said that his father had an old relationship with his teacher. His father's name was Jianquan, and he was from Suzhou."
"Jian Quan...! It turns out that Mao Wenlong is his son. It's a pity that Jian Quan lived a life of benevolence and righteousness, but he gave birth to such a son. The party is attached to the eunuch, and he is the accomplice of the tiger!"
"Uh...! After all, he is the son of an old friend, do you want to meet him?" Seeing Li Sancai interrupting again, Yang Lian hurriedly asked Zhao Nanxing for instructions, hoping that the big boss would like to meet him. Both Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou felt that although Mao Wenlong It was recommended by Wei Zhongxian. But it seems that they are among the people who can be rescued!
Zhao Nanxing glanced at Li Sancai, then at Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian. Before he could speak, Li Sancai said bitterly: "Old friend Zhizi! See Quan Wuzi!"
This sentence was groundbreaking, and Mao Wenlong, who was waiting outside the study, could hear it clearly. This was a slap in the face. My father has no son. Then where did I come from?
Mao Wenlong's face turned blue with anger, and he clenched his fists tightly. He stared at the study room with eyes like a bloodthirsty wolf. Li Xiao had never seen such ferocious eyes on Mao Wenlong!
You don't bully people like this! Even if you are a big shot in the imperial court, even if you are a disciple and former official all over the world, you can't bully people like this.
"I originally thought that the Donglin bosses were all Taoist masters, but now they seem to be no different from those who share the same party and oppose dissidents. We, Mr. Mao, came to visit Mr. Zhao with respect for our elders. Unexpectedly, we were first asked for bribes by the disciples, and then by others. Humiliate yourself.
What a minister of the Ministry of Rites, what a big boss of Donglin. When we killed the Tatars in Liaodong, only a few kittens came to greet us when we triumphed. Where did the court etiquette go at this time? Our soldiers risked their lives to fight, and they sacrificed their lives for Where is the glory to come?
Now there is another person who is not known to be singled out to insult us. Even our ancestors! Zhao Nanxing, you are a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. If a person like you is in charge of the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, it is inevitable that the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty will collapse. Bad." Mao Wenlong's silence does not mean that Li Xiao will not speak either.
"Okay!" Hearing the eldest brother scolding, although he didn't understand what he was scolding, Li Hu saw the eldest brother scolding happily and shouted "ok" in a rough voice.
"Humph! I don't know who is causing trouble, old man Li Sancai." Li Sancai heard a sound at the door, and it was because he was talking. With the help of a servant, he stood up, walked to the door, lifted the curtain and walked out.
Zhao Nanxing, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were following behind!
"Oh! It turns out to be Mr. Xiu Wu. Sorry! Sorry!" When Li Xiao heard Li Sancai's name, he was stunned for a moment and then saluted Li Sancai.
"Hmph! Ignorant child, you must be afraid now. It's too late!" Li Sancai saw that the person speaking was a teenage child, and his temper immediately rose. Now that he has no official position, he can't deal with Mao Wenlong, but he can't deal with a kid like Li Xiao. The role is still not a problem.
"Yes! The boy is scared. A person who can betray even the teacher without hesitation. You are the first person in the world to be ruthless. If you deal with the boy, he will not survive. Just like you My teacher Wang Xijue, you just published the letter between him and the emperor to the world, so that he no longer has any hope of an official career. Your heart is cruel and your skills are tough.
I admire you! I admire you!" Li Xiao held his fists in his hands, but the words coming out of his mouth were shot out like flying knives.
"Boy! Don't talk nonsense!" Li Xiao mentioned Wang Xijue, and the faces of everyone present changed color.
When Emperor Wanli wanted to invite Wang Xijue to come back and serve as his chief minister, Wang Xijue sent someone to send a letter back to the emperor. When the person who sent the letter passed by the official office of Wang Xijue's favorite protégé Li Sancai, he was drunk by Li Sancai.
Originally, Li Sancai wanted to tamper with this letter, but this letter was written by Wang Shimin, Wang Xijue's grandson. Wang Shimin's other identity is a famous calligrapher and painter. Li Sancai's two strokes of calligraphy are incomparable with others. He can't tamper with it even if he wants to!
Li Sancai had no choice but to copy the letter, and later discussed with Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing, and Zou Yuanbiao to publish the letter to the world, because the letter hurt Yan Guan. The courtiers rallied to attack it, and Wang Xijue
His career was interrupted.
In any case, this kind of deception and destruction of ancestors is not a glorious thing. Now that the Donglin Party is popular again, as an old friend of the Donglin Party, no one dares to mention this matter in front of Li Sancai.
In fact, not many people knew about this matter. People like Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, etc. only heard something vaguely from Zhao Nanxing's mouth. Unexpectedly, Li Xiao was exposed as soon as he came up today.
How could Li Sancai come to Taiwan!
"Am I talking nonsense? Ask Mr. Xiuwu if there is anything wrong with what I said. Who copied Mr. Wang Ge's reply to the emperor, and who published this letter to the world. For their own selfish interests, regardless of teachers and students
Friendship. Cultivating me means neither cultivating one’s character nor cultivating one’s virtue! If you still cultivate yourself, bah!”
Li Xiao grabbed a little bit and attacked Li Sancai violently. Li Sancai was so angry that he didn't dare to fight back. He knew that if today's incident became a big deal, his reputation would be ruined if it got out. Let alone entering the cabinet, his own
The official career is likely to end just like that of his teacher Wang Xijue!
"Boy! You...!" Li Sancai's heart was filled with confusion. He didn't understand how such a young man knew such an obscure thing.
"Are you afraid? Don't be afraid. It's such a fun and pleasant thing. How can I have it all to myself? When I go back, I will find a dozen storytellers to go to the overpass and repeat the story. Let the people in the capital know that my Mr. Xiu Wu, Li Sancai,
How on earth did you kill your relatives and abruptly end your teacher's career!"
"You...!" Li Sancai was really anxious this time, and now he even wanted to silence him. At the beginning, he, Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing, and Zou Yuanbiao discussed this matter in a secret room. How could this kid
Know so clearly!
This is not the point. The point is that if this matter is leaked, then my reputation in this life will be ruined. Even if I return to my hometown, my ancestral grave may be scolded and broken. The consequences will be too serious.
"Come here, catch this nonsense and arrogant boy." Zhao Nanxing's face darkened. This was the time to witness the loyalty of brothers. Zhao Nanxing intervened decisively and supported his brother.
Scholars also need to have a bit of hooliganism.
