Chapter 413 Li Yuanfang, who cannot be called by his first name
Inside a luxury carriage.
Qiu Shenji leaned on the soft cushions, smelling the spices that happened to be everywhere. He had to admit that these nobles from Guanzhong really enjoyed it.
Seeing him looking around, Li Jingyou felt a little disdainful. He also found that Li Jingye was wrapped in a quilt, twitching from time to time, looking panicked, frowning and saying: "What kind of torture did my brother endure in the inner guard? How did he become so weak?"
?”
Qiu Shenji assured: "My brother has definitely not been executed. Under my special care, the cell he is in is the most spacious. The guards held him gently without any bumps or bumps."
After saying that, he sighed: "Perhaps your brother is not suitable for the environment of internal guard after all, and was frightened, so he acted like this..."
Li Jingyou checked carefully and found that Li Jingye did not have any injuries on his body, but to be simply frightened like this is not contemptuous. He immediately frowned and corrected: "It was obviously Li Yuanfang who was cruel and intimidated, so that my brother suffered this serious injury."
It’s difficult, do you understand?”
Qiu Shenji's round face showed a confused expression: "This... Li Ge's prestige in the internal defense is extraordinary..."
Li Jingyou looked at Qiu Shenji and saw that he was dressed in casual clothes. He was not wearing an official robe or a fish charm. He couldn't help but use his smart brain to analyze: "Do you only have the position of internal guard and no foreign or domestic positions?"
Qiu Shenji answered honestly: "Yes, I only work in the inner prison on weekdays and rarely go to other places."
Li Jingyou thought to himself that he really didn't understand. He rolled his eyes and started to lie: "He is the leader of the cabinet, not the leader of the big cabinet. It is not the inner guard's turn. Li Yuanfang has the final say. You know Jingzhao Webster's
Mr. Chengqing?"
Qiu Shenji nodded: "I know."
Li Jingyou said: "Gong Chengqing was recommended to be the leader of the Interior Guard, but he didn't take the position seriously. He would rather stay at home than work with Li Yuanfang. This shows that this person is arrogant and domineering, and he also knows that the leader of the Interior Guard is not as good as him.
It’s as important as you think…”
Qiu Shenji blinked his eyes: "It's the first time I heard such a statement. It's really eye-opening. Li Erlang is indeed a descendant of meritorious service, and he is well-informed!"
Li Jingyou smiled and said: "It's good to know. Anyway, if you work hard for my British government, your benefits will be indispensable."
With that said, as the carriage drove smoothly, the British government had arrived. Li Jingyou and Qiu Shenji took Li Jingye out of the car together, and a healthy servant stepped forward to support him.
Li Jingyou glanced at the long motorcade in front of the mansion, showed a satisfied look, and ordered: "Take your brother into the inner house to rest, and then go to the Imperial Medical Office to ask a few familiar doctors to come and examine the injuries. Go quickly!"
The servant took the order, and Li Jingyou led Qiu Shenji to the main hall. Before he reached the hall, he heard a strong voice from inside: "That man is a barbarian who grew up in the border state. We are ashamed to be associated with him..."
Qiu Shenji exclaimed, "Who is that person?"
Li Jingyou explained: "It's Li Yuanfang. When we get together for a banquet, it's better not to call him by his name than in private, so as not to be caught by the inner guards! You should have heard of the Meihua inner guards. Although the inner guards are different from them, Li Yuanfang is extremely powerful."
Big, if the Plum Blossom Internal Guard is also involved, we have to guard against it!"
Qiu Shenji really couldn't hold it back: "So you don't even dare to call Li Yuanfang by his name, but you get together to resist him?"
Li Jingyou didn't think anything of it before. When he was told this, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He stiffly changed the subject: "The person who spoke was Dou Huaizhen. You don't have to worry. We in the Tang Dynasty have never been punished for our words. I, a descendant of Guanzhong,
When we get together, we can criticize the ills of the times and speak out for justice."
Qiu Shenji smiled even more: "Don't worry, don't worry. After all, I didn't mention him by name. Who knows who that person is? It's just that I am an internal guard after all, so I can't show my face directly, so I'll just sit down quietly!"
Li Jingyou then remembered that he had not asked this person's father's name, but looking at his appearance, he must have a mediocre background, otherwise the children of Guanzhong would be feasting all day long and would never have invited this person. When he thought of asking someone from a poor family,
Pingbai has lowered his grade, and the other party does not go with him, which is exactly what he wants: "Don't worry, I will remember your kindness in helping my brother, and I will promote you later..."
Qiu Shenji thought to himself that you didn't even ask for your name, and you were so perfunctory. Do you really think that everyone else is a fool? How did the noble descendants of Guanzhong get to this point?
But this was exactly what he wanted. He had prepared a speech, but he didn't need to use it now. He went around in a circle and entered the main hall through the side door.
As soon as he walked in and before he could find a place to sit down, he saw the person who had just spoken out swinging his long sleeves, almost raising his arms and shouting decisively: "Although that person is powerful and arrogant, he has already made countless grudges.
If you want to get rid of it, there will be no good reward. Even if we, the disciples of Guanzhong, are trapped in a prison, we should not give up our ambition and resist to the end!"
Someone immediately echoed: "Brother Huaizhen, great advice! That man inflicted atrocities on the British Duke. We must first welcome the British Duke out, and then give him retribution, so that we can show our ability in Guanzhong!"
Someone else stood up and analyzed: "Yes, we can't let that person go on so unscrupulously. Today we are taking away the British Duke. Who knows who among the people here will be taken away tomorrow?"
Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Wei Chengqing, who was sitting at the front of the seat, gently stroked his beard and was quite pleased: "Guanzhong Erlang, our morale can be used!"
Since the implementation of the imperial examination reform, Jingzhao Webster's interests have been further damaged, and the secret targeting has become more obvious. Since they are against Li Yuanfang, Wei Chengqing and Wei Xuanzhen's uncles and nephews, as representatives of Webster, were naturally the first to arrive.
At this time, Wei Chengqing was quite pleased to see everyone discussing the matter. For example, he was cautious in his address. Although it seemed a bit humble, such an attitude could make things happen. Couldn't the combined power of the United Family be used against that person?
Compared with Wei Chengqing's prestige, Wei Xuanzhen was far behind him. He could only sit in his back seat, looked at Dou Huaizhen who was talking eloquently, leaned over and whispered: "Uncle, why does this person give me the feeling of boasting? Is he really capable of doing so?"
Reliable?"
Wei Chengqing said: "After all, he is the son of Prime Minister Dou Zuo, and his uncle did such evil things again. Now if the Dou family wants to reintegrate into our Guanzhong gentry clan, they must start well and deal with that person."
Wei Xuanzhen: "..."
Dou Huaizhen was the eldest son of the former prime minister Dou Dexuan, and was also the nephew of Dou Decheng. Dou Decheng sold poison pills to various governments, which had already ruined the Dou family's reputation. Now that he had a new target, the Dou family reluctantly
Integrate into the Guanzhong noble clan and take the lead in the charge.
He could understand all this, but what he couldn't understand was why his uncle, who was once qualified to be prime minister, also called Li Yuanfang that way?
After the uncle-nephew conversation and excitement, Dou Huaizhen returned to his seat and sat down.
Despite the impassioned speech he gave just now, as if he was the leader of the rebellion, he sat quite far back and became humbled immediately after he returned.
There is no way, his title is very low, he is only a fifth-grade male from Jianguo County, ranking at the bottom of the rank.
Above it is the son of Kaiguo County, who is on the fifth rank; then there is the county uncle of Kaiguo, who is on the fourth rank; then there is the marquis of Kaiguo County, who is on the third rank; and then up there is the Duke of Kaiguo County, who is on the second rank; followed by the Duke of Kaiguo County, who is on the second rank
, and finally the first-grade Duke.
The Duke is the pinnacle of ministers. From the first-rank princes and heirs to the first-rank kings, only the Li family can arrange it.
The most important thing for the noble children of Guanzhong is a title. Just as Li Jingye inherited the title of British Duke when he was not thirty years old, most of the noble children present have titles. Dou Huaizhen, a male from Jianguo County,
You really can only stand aside.
However, when he returned to the table, he found a fat man sitting not far behind him. He had an extraordinary appearance, but he was also very unfamiliar.
Others would have just looked at it and passed away, but Dou Huaizhen took a closer look and vaguely felt that he had seen this person somewhere, so he took the initiative to go over and said, "Dou Qing, courtesy name Huaizhen, I have seen this person before."
Langjun!"
Qiu Shenji returned the favor: "I have seen this man from Dou County before."
Dou Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be like this. We are not hiding from the public, so why don't we reveal our names? That person can't take care of the banquet party held by my disciples in Guanzhong..."
Qiu Shenji explained: "I'm not afraid of Li Yuanfang. I'm just here for the first time and I'm not familiar with him, so I can't reveal it."
Dou Huaizhen took a breath of cold air and turned pale with shock: "How could you just say that person's name?"
Qiu Shenji said with great integrity: "I think some people are afraid of him, but I am not afraid. I even met Li Yuanfang when I was in Liangzhou."
Dou Huaizhen frowned and said quickly: "This is rare. The disciples from Liangzhou are close to him, but they don't want to come here. They want to ask your Excellency about the old things about that person!"
Qiu Shenji chatted with him and then looked outside the hall, wondering why Li Jingyou didn't enter the hall.
He walked around in a circle before coming in, and chose a position that was most suitable for observing everyone in the hall. Logically speaking, Li Jingyou should have arrived long ago. Was he delayed by something?
What could be more important now than opposing that person?
Indeed, a quarter of an hour later, Li Jingyou led another man with a slightly sickly face into the hall, with excitement on his brows. As soon as he entered, he said loudly: "Allow me to solemnly introduce this Danyang County man to you.
male!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a moment, and then there was a stir: "Okay!"
Qiu Shenji was stunned: "What's going on?"
Dou Huaizhen didn't care to listen to that man's old stories in Liangzhou, and said with surprise: "I didn't expect him to show up directly. Don't you recognize him? This is a younger brother of the Danyang family of the Longxi Li family, and his grandfather is Lao Wei
The Duke's younger brother, in terms of relationship, is a direct cousin to that person, close by blood!"
Speaking of this, Dou Huaizhen's expression became cheerful: "You're doing a good job, Lord Danyang, for coming forward. There is internal strife in the family and brotherly feud. Even if that person can suppress it, it will be disgusting for a long time!"
Hearing this, Qiu Shenji's expression became cruel: "This is interesting. It seems that I came at the right time!"
