Chapter 1,157: Expelling guests and clarifying one’s ambitions
People like Zhang Shunjin are speculators in the officialdom.
The purpose of speculators becoming officials is not to serve the country, the people, and the country, let alone being loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
They are like parasitic vines that cling to thick tree trunks and absorb nutrients from the trunk. The taller the tree grows, the higher they climb, eventually reaching the sky in one step.
If the tree they are attached to dies, they will switch to another big tree and continue to absorb its nutrients until they achieve their goal of reaching the sky in one step.
Li Qinzai really couldn't be polite to such people. This kind of parasitic vine can be seen everywhere in official circles, and the one in front of him is a very typical one.
It's just speculation. Li Qinzai can't change the atmosphere of the entire officialdom.
But don't harm my student by inducing him to do such dangerous things.
What's the difference between bewitching clear and stupid children and trafficking in mentally retarded people? It's a great evil.
"Do your duty as an adviser and don't do anything to seek death," Li Qinzai stared at Zhang Shunjin and said coldly: "Since you are the governor of Luozhou, you should go back to Luozhou to help the King of England manage the military affairs and govern the people well, instead of spending all your time
Stay around the King and stir up trouble."
"The King of England will follow me back to Ganjingzhuang in three days to continue his studies. You and other advisors should leave Chang'an quickly to avoid causing trouble for him."
Zhang Shunjin lowered his head and gritted his teeth, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Why is Duke Li so afraid of fighting for the throne? What's wrong with the King of England taking it one step further? Don't you think Duke Li's move has delayed the future of the King of England?"
Li Qinzai said patiently: "The King of England cannot be the crown prince. He is not the candidate in the minds of the emperor and the queen. It will be useless to fight, but it will cause trouble for the King of England."
"As for the future of the King of England, I, the teacher, am responsible for it. You don't have to worry about it. If you feel that the King of England is not a wise master, you can switch to others now. There is no need to keep some demagogues around the King of England. If you bring up bad children, you will never be redeemed.
His crime."
The words were already spoken very rudely, and Li Qinzai didn't bother to be tactful with him. This kind of person didn't deserve to organize his own vocabulary for fear of hurting his self-esteem.
Zhang Shunjin was very angry, but he dared not speak out in front of Li Qinzai.
After all, he was just a long historian, while Li Qinzai was not only the teacher of the King of England, but also a prince of the imperial family. Their statuses were very different and they were not of the same class at all.
Zhang Shunjin couldn't help but said: "If the King of England does not fight today, in the future, the King of England will always be an idle vassal king. He may have only one chance to make progress in his life. Lord Li, if we don't help him fight, how can we know?"
No chance?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "Why should the King of England fight? What capital does he have? Is he powerful in the court, or is he praised by the world for his knowledge and character? Even if the emperor and the queen gave him hints, they are considered his capital. These are his capital."
Do you have them all?”
Zhang Shunjin said unconvinced: "He has Duke Li as his teacher, isn't it enough?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "What are you so sick about? I am a teacher with great powers in heaven and on earth?"
"The importance of Duke Li in the hearts of the emperor and the empress. As long as you say a word, the emperor and the empress will have to consider it carefully. This is enough."
Li Qinzai squinted his eyes and looked at him: "I don't know whether to call you innocent or to praise you for being stupid and ignorant. With just one word from me, the emperor will change the candidate for the throne. So, in your eyes, it is so easy to be the prince."
thing?"
Zhang Shunjin's words were stagnant, and he opened his mouth not knowing how to answer.
Li Qinzai sighed: "After this incident, I really should go to the emperor and ask him to pay attention to the quality of the advisers around the princes. They are all just fake things. They are stupid and bad."
Zhang Shunjin finally couldn't help but said: "Master Li, why do you need to hurt others with harsh words? The reason for lowering your rank is for the future of His Royal Highness."
"Tsk, you are amazing, you are noble, you are so great, you only benefit others and do not benefit yourself at all. Can I ask the emperor to give you an award?" Li Qinzai looked at Zhang Shunjin with increasingly disgusted eyes.
It's understandable to be a bitch, after all, it's for life.
It's outrageous for you to build a chastity arch for yourself. Do you want to lose face?
"How about you give me a military order?" Li Qinzai looked at him jokingly.
"You will make a pledge to help the King of England fight for the throne this time. If the King of England fails, you will risk your own head and the lives of your whole family. In order to show your loyalty to the King of England, the day the King of England fails,
, that’s the day when you and your whole family’s heads fall to the ground, how about it?”
Zhang Shunjin was startled and his eyes immediately dodge.
Li Qinzai saw his expression and couldn't help laughing, the laughter full of mockery.
It's okay to speculate, but not to risk your life.
This is the nature of this type of person.
Zhang Shunjin was completely desperate at this moment. From the moment he saw Li Qinzai, his momentum had been suppressed by Li Qinzai. In front of Li Qinzai, he could not find any self-confidence to argue, but was completely beaten.
Li Qinzai looked at him, pondered for a long time, and said: "Since you came to visit on your own initiative, you might as well do something for the King of England..."
Zhang Shunjin said dejectedly: "I wonder what I can do for His Majesty the King of England."
"This matter is very simple, but I need to borrow something from you..."
Zhang Shunjin was shocked: "Do you want to borrow my head?"
"That's not necessary, but I need to use your face."
"Uh, what does Duke Li mean?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Feng Su immediately appeared outside the door.
Li Qinzai pointed at Zhang Shunjin and said: "Open the gate of the Duke's Mansion and drive this man out with sticks. It is best for everyone on the street to see it."
Zhang Shunjin said angrily: "Why did Duke Li humiliate my subordinates? The King of England is your disciple, and I am the King of England's adviser. We are obviously one family..."
"A family must sacrifice and pay for its family. Don't you understand this truth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Su and several of his subordinates came forward with sticks, and struck Zhang Shunjin hard on his back. Zhang Shunjin screamed loudly.
One after another, Zhang Shunjin was hit with a violent storm of sticks. Step after step, Zhang Shunjin was driven out of the Duke's Mansion.
Today, Chang'an City has actually canceled the curfew, and even at night, there are many people wandering on the streets.
The scene in which Zhang Shunjin was driven out by the government officials was witnessed by many passers-by.
Until the scarred Zhang Shunjin was kicked down the steps of the Duke's Mansion, and the door of the Duke's Mansion was slammed shut. Zhang Shunjin endured the severe pain, pointed at the door of the Duke's Mansion and cursed angrily for a while.
to leave.
…………
Early the next morning, before Li Qinzai woke up, guests already came to the Duke's Mansion.
What's interesting is that the guest is a civil servant, I don't know whether he is an official from the three provinces or the six ministries.
Of course Li Qinzai was not that patient and went to entertain guests early in the morning.
The guests had been waiting in the front yard, and no one in the Duke's mansion dared to wake Li Qinzai.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Li Qinzai slept leisurely until he woke up naturally. After washing and slowly finishing his breakfast, he yawned lazily and came to the front yard.
The guests who came today were very interesting. They came in batches one by one as if they had made an appointment.
One person went into the courtyard of the Duke's mansion and waited, while the others stood outside the gate of the mansion in a tacit understanding.
Li Qinzai simply asked his servants to prepare drinks and snacks in the side hall of the front yard, and then like a stunning and enchanting oiran, he received his patrons one by one.
The first benefactor came in. He put on a smile and tentatively asked Li Qinzai about his attitude towards the fight for the heirloom before even saying a few words.
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that he drove Zhang Shunjin out of the house last night, and the results were achieved today.
Li Qinzai looked at this patron. Well, he was not familiar with it, but it could be inferred that it should be related to a certain prince. He came to test on behalf of this prince. As for which prince it was, it didn't matter. Anyway, Li Qinzai had no intention of getting involved in the dispute.
The matter of storage.
As for the benefactor's temptation, Li Qinzai laughed. The oiran could meet whenever he wanted. How can you make the oiran smile if you don't shed some blood?
You are old and don’t understand the world at all. You have never given gifts, haven’t you visited a brothel?
"You came empty-handed?" Li Qinzai glanced outside the door.
There was no one outside the door, and Li Qinzai's expression suddenly became very cold. The snobbishness and greed in his eyes didn't seem to be fake, but simply his true nature.
The benefactor awkwardly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
I just asked a question when I was ordered to come to the door. Who would have thought that I would also need to give a gift...
You are already a county official, should you pay attention to how you eat?
"I'm busy with official duties today..." Li Qinzai smiled apologetically at him, and then said in a loud voice: "Come here, see you off, next one!"
