At Shen Shi, it was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. After Ji Gang and his group left, it was already getting late. [] Things were being tidied up here, and Miss Dong happily got into the sedan chair, and the two bearers got a ride.
The bride was happily carried away in a luxurious sedan chair. Concubines rarely entertain guests, and the guests are only a gathering of three or five friends. It is impossible to invite someone with status, especially someone with a very high status like Xia Xun.
It is very rude to invite a person to your house for a banquet to celebrate your taking a concubine.
So Xue Lu didn't invite Xia Xun to come over. He just thanked him profusely, then mounted his horse and went back to the house happily to be his groom. Xia Xun called Liu Yujue and Chen Dong, and Ye An took them.
After taking those craftsmen back to Da Baoen Temple, he took Lao Pang back to his hometown in a leisurely way.
On the way, Lao Jing said worriedly: "My lord, the way Ji Gang looked at you just now made Lao Jing sweat. If he is so arrogant, he will not put you in the eyes of Fu Guo Gong."
In my eyes, how can you lower yourself and fight with him? If not, what can you do to him? Wouldn’t that be a loss of face for you, the duke of the country?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "I know Ji Gang is very deep, but he doesn't dare!"
Lao Jing thought for a while, smiled and said: "What the Duke said is that no matter what, the Duke is still the Duke after all, and he is a second-grade official..."
Xia Xun said: "You are wrong! We have already fallen out with each other, why is he afraid of me? He is afraid of the emperor!"
Lao Penqi asked: "Your Majesty?"
Xia Xun said: "That's right! Even if I lose favor, I will still be the hero of Jingnan, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor's brother-in-law. The emperor doesn't want to kill me, but I have the emperor's face and prestige on me. He
Calling me too humble means that I don't know how to love myself and don't give the emperor face. He is not afraid of me, but he is afraid of being too arrogant and losing the emperor's favor. Do you think that no one is looking for excuses for him this time? Chen Ying is not a vegetarian.
Yes, others don’t dare to talk about his Ji Gang. I, Yang Xu, don’t bother to report his scandal to the emperor, but that doesn’t mean that others don’t, and they don’t dare!”
After hearing this, Lao Jing said angrily: "How much contribution did the Duke of our country make to our Ming Dynasty? Not to mention anything else, just the proper management of Liaodong is a feat that benefits all generations. That Ji Gang only knows how to flatter, but now he dares to follow
My lord, you are making a noise. It is only because you are afraid that the emperor will be displeased that you dare not attack you!
In the past few years, there have been few officials who have offended you, the Duke. We are too young to mention them. The older officials are like Sun Guanghe, the prefect of Guide, Wanshiyu, the prefect of Fuzhou, and Chang Ying, the prefect of Huzhou.
Lin, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion, Xie Guangsheng, the Commander-in-Chief, Xiao Meng, and the Commander-in-Chief of Guanhaiwei, Chang Xi, which official is younger?
Counting further up, the Prince Consort Mei Yin, the Marquis of Changxing Geng Bing, the Duke of Wei Xu Huizu, and even the Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, who is listed as one of the six Dukes of Jingnan along with you, are all ranked above you.
In your hands, the Duke, now there is a discipline. The official may not be very old, but he is happier than anyone else. There will be no end to this kind of villain who becomes rampant when he succeeds. When will he be the leader?"
Xia Xun laughed and said: "Weeds grow in the fields every year. Which farmer complained that pulling out the barnyard grass last year was in vain? Don't complain. Just because there are traitors, we need loyal ones. If everyone is kind, then there will be no need for loyalty.
What do we need to do?”
Lao spray said: "Since he didn't dare to openly disobey the Duke and cause embarrassment to the Duke, the Duke should have given him more color just now!"
At this time, it was almost dusk, and they were passing by a temple. The evening bell rang in the temple. They didn't know whether they were gathering monks to have a meal or to hold evening classes. The bell sounded slowly, drifting in the wind. Xia Xun listened to the bell and said,
Then he laughed and said: "Then tell me, how should I punish him? I made a huge bell that has never been seen before, and integrated the discipline into the bell. Every morning and night, someone would beat him and curse him, so that he would live forever for eternity.
How about we sound the alarm against corrupt officials and ruthless officials?"
The old man grinned and said: "Okay, what a good idea! The Duke of Guo is the Duke of Guo after all. What else do you want to do to kill his head? It's better to do this, even if you want him to die.
He can't live in peace. As long as this clock exists, his soul will not be able to live in peace. Hahaha, this is how happy it is!
If the Duke of Guo really does this, I will tell him about it when he gets married and has children, and his descendants will remember it. Three to five hundred years later, my descendants will arrive.
Go to the temple with the big bell and ring the big bell, and you will remember that there is a great traitor named Ji Gang cast there. You will also remember that the official who cast the Ji Gang into the big bell is the ancestor of their family.
For those who have served me, I can also benefit from the honor of the Duke."
Xia Xun just said it casually, but he didn't want Lao Pang to take it seriously.
He is a traitor, but the emperor doesn’t know. He has not done enough bad things. Now if we punish him and slap him twice, what will happen? Even if we can sue him, can we let him die? "
Lao Jing thought for a while and hesitated: "I'm afraid...can't..."
Xia Xun said: "That's it. If you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed by it. Therefore, you can't kill the snake easily. You have to wait for the right opportunity and wait until he has a reason to die before you can take action. Furthermore, Ji Gang is now
It’s still useful.”
Lao Jing asked doubtfully: "What use is there for a bad guy like Ji Gang who has sores on his head and pus on his soles?"
Xia Xun said: "He is good at biting people, so now he still needs to bite Chen Ying. Lao Jing, don't keep Chen Ying silent. In my heart, Chen Ying is more terrifying than Ji Gang. In Ji Gang's case
There is a dog there, and although its barking is a bit noisy, it can still scare an old thief like Chen Ying. Just wait, after he kills the thief, it's not too late to stew his meat!"
Xia Xun pointed the riding crop forward and said with a smile: "Just be good, Ji Gang will become more and more crazy!"
The old man said angrily: "This man named Ji is shameless. He came here with a sedan, but no one took it away. The sedan was left behind and was ridiculed by the Duke. How dare he be so crazy?"
Xia Xun shook his head: "You are wrong again! Just now, he was angry, so he was embarrassed and inexplicable. When he thinks about it later, he will be very happy, proud, and even more arrogant. Haha
, I have worked with Lao Ji for so long, I can still grasp his thoughts!"
After Xia Xun finished speaking, he lightly whipped his whip and sped up. Lao Jing blinked and followed Xia Xun's horse with a blank look on his face. He couldn't understand at all how Ji Gang could not stop after being so humiliated.
What about anger turning into joy?
※※
Ji Gang walked on the road with a sullen face, his hands almost holding the saddle to pieces.
What a shame, what a shame! Especially in front of so many subordinates!
Ji Gang's lungs almost exploded with anger, but he didn't want his subordinates to be in his embarrassment, so he could only barely suppress his anger and control himself not to lose his temper. The eight kings followed his horse with their heads down, who
They didn't dare to speak. Yu Jian and the few Jin Yiwei who slapped their faces until they looked like monkey butts were afraid that they would be even more humiliated and angry when Master Ji arrived, so they hid far away.
The evening breeze blows slowly and the sun sets in the west. More than ten horses are riding on the road, dragging the shadow of the setting sun very long...
Although there are many of them, in the eyes of passers-by, they have a rather desolate feeling.
Gradually, Ji Gang's expression seemed to become much calmer. He was still sullen, but his anger was no longer so uncontrollable. There was a crossroads in front of him. Ji Gang was distracted as he rode on his horse and passed directly. Regardless of whether he was looking back.
You should turn right from here to go home or to the Jinyiwei Yamen. The eight kings just looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward to remind them, so they had to follow behind one by one, as if they were mourning their heirs.
Ji Gang rode away on horseback. The further he went, the more desolate he became. Suddenly he woke up. He reined in his mount and looked around blankly. He saw that this was a strange and desolate alley. He couldn't help but ask: "Where is this?"
The Eight King Kongs breathed a sigh of relief, quickly raised their horses, and said, "Sir, we took a wrong turn. We should have turned right at the intersection just now."
Ji Gang frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you remind me?"
The Eight Great Vajras were silent, and no one dared to speak. Ji Gang glanced at them, and suddenly showed a half-smiling look: "Haha, you all think that I am angry and you don't dare to touch me, right?"
The Eight King Kongs Weiwei Nai Nai, still did not dare to answer, Ji Gang raised his neck and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, hahahaha..."
Ji Gang laughed unbridled, and the eight kings were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all just looked at Ji Gang blankly.
Ji Gang's laughter stopped suddenly, and he said with a smile: "You are very strange why I am so happy, right?"
One head of the Eight Great Diamonds.
Ji Gang smiled and said, "Because, I figured something out!"
The eight Vajra's eyes widened together.
Ji Gang smiled and asked: "You want to ask me what I have figured out, right?"
The Eight Great Vajra is another one.
Ji Gang smiled slightly and said: "What is my identity? What is his identity? When he wanted to help others, with the dignity of the state, he had no choice but to come in person and use his qualifications and identity to suppress me.
, tell me, what else can he rely on? What else can he rely on? Hahahaha..., hahahaha..., Fu Guogong, how pitiful! Yang Xu, I pity you!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Some of the Eight King Kongs reacted quickly and already understood that Ji Gang was so happy because Yang Xuqian, the auxiliary prince, was incompetent and was about to decline. Others reacted slowly and did not understand it for a while. But when others smile, wouldn't it be stupid not to smile oneself? So they also indulged
Laughing loudly, and laughing louder and happier than those who understand!
For a time, ghosts howled, wolves howled, and countless crows flew in this desolate alley.
Ji Gang was happy. After he went back that day, he asked someone to cook a few dishes, had a hearty drink, and called his concubine Qinghan over to make her his bride for the day.
Xia Xun was also happy, very happy. He humiliated Ji Gang. Just after returning home, he bumped into Qiao Da, the gynecological expert in Jinling City. Dr. Qiao gave Xia Xun a smile and said: "Congratulations, Duke.
Sir, Qiao Mou has just cut Madam’s pulse, and in just three or two days, the little father-in-law will be born!”
:For Ji Gang’s cleverness, please! For Yang Xu’s cleverness, please! For the Yang family to have a successor, please! I want both recommendation tickets, one and two!
