Chapter 504: Falling out is faster than turning the page in a book
In the winter at this time, the capital is extremely cold, especially as the Little Ice Age is approaching. By the third and ninth day of the year, the temperature will reach about minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The weather is so cold. None of these party leaders are too young to go out. But when they arrive at Li Shantang, the temperature in the hall is definitely above 20 degrees. Plus, they have just taken off their clothes.
When I was wearing shoes, I was so nervous that my whole body was stiff. At this moment, everyone's head was covered with sweat and they felt extremely uncomfortable.
Several maids were somewhat surprised by this kind of thing. After everyone had changed their shoes, they took them to another hall to wash their feet... This was also the first time that the leaders of the various parties met 'barefoot'.
It is also the birth date of the first collective foot-washing event in the Ming Dynasty...
After struggling for a long time, they put on the various clothes and pants prepared by Li Mansion in advance, and then the few bosses walked out refreshed. In other words, they can experience the comfort of summer in this cold winter season.
It is indeed a kind of enjoyment. It would be better if there were no embarrassing moments like before.
As soon as they came out, they saw the door open again. Li Shantang was walking in from the outside. They saw two maids coming forward to serve him. One took off Li Shantang's long mink coat, and the other helped him take off his long riding boots and legs.
After simply taking off the fur leggings he was wearing, Li Shantang was left with only a pair of summer clothes and walked towards the big guys.
"It's a great honor for me to have these adults come to my residence!"
Looking at Li Shantang's smiling face like a blooming old chrysanthemum, several people looked at each other and couldn't help but curse in their hearts, "Slut!"
Today, everyone was tricked by Li Shantang and suffered a dumb loss. In addition, the two sides were originally hostile camps. Naturally, they didn't look good at this time. They were not even willing to smile.
After a group of people sat down and exchanged some casual greetings, Fang Congzhe asked directly: "Master Li asked me to come to your house, isn't it just to show how unique your house is?"
"Master Fang is joking, of course not!"
"Then just tell me if you have anything to do." Although it was comfortable to stay here, seeing his opponent's cheerful appearance made him feel uncomfortable.
"In that case, I will tell you directly!" Li Shantang looked solemn, and after scanning the faces of Fang Congzhe and others, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, my family master already knows about the transfer orders for all officials in the three provinces of Fujian.
, and has no intention of blocking it, and has already announced it in the newspaper."
The words "newspaper" hit the hearts of these people in the court, making their faces even more ugly.
Since ancient times, various policies and measures of the imperial court, including various local decrees, have only been conveyed to the ears of local wealthy families and then stopped. How to interpret them or whether to publish them depends entirely on the wishes of these local wealthy families.
Basically all government decrees will be deliberately distorted at the local level. The specific interpretation depends on which one is more beneficial. As for the original meaning of the court, who cares about that!
First, the people were illiterate and could not read.
Secondly, those government decrees are all quoted from scriptures, written in a verbose way, and deliberately written in a cloudy and foggy way. Even if you are literate, you still have to guess the meaning from it bit by bit, which is all kinds of modern literature...
Thirdly, there is no channel that can be used to publicize the decree, and these messages were deliberately cut off early on.
As a result, when Wang Xuan came here, he built a chalk blackboard and began to popularize basic education on a large scale. He also created a newspaper, which was issued every seven days.
Those ordinary people can know the major events of the world, which simply breaks the general ethics!
Don’t you know that a sage once said that people can follow it but cannot understand it?
This will cause chaos in the world!
By the time they found out about this, several months had passed. They were all horrified when they saw the various issues of newspapers brought back from Fujian. If such evil items were allowed to spread, it would definitely shake the foundation of the world.
.
At that time, they issued a collective order to resolutely prohibit anyone and anywhere from spreading such newspapers under the Ming Dynasty. Those who violated the order would be severely punished!
Of course, this does not include themselves. They do not publish newspapers like this every time. They have special people to transport them from Fujian to the capital. Knowing yourself and the enemy will always win, especially the interpretation and suggestions on some major events between the DPRK and China.
It makes some sense.
"What does Wang Xuan mean?" A group of people looked at each other and Fang Congzhe asked proactively.
"It's not interesting. If you want to stay, stay, and if you want to leave, go."
Li Shantang leaned back, not caring about the oppressive power of the four major party leaders, and said very casually: "My master acts openly and upright, and will never force anyone to lock up a man. Of course, I will also inform everyone here,
No matter who they are, as long as they are willing to stay with us, the imperial court will never allow any form of persecution against their family members. I hope everyone here will remember this and don't say it was unforeseen."
"After all, according to the rules of the Tao, no harm will come to the family, and my master is not willing to do something that makes everyone feel uncomfortable."
As soon as Li Shantang finished speaking, the expressions of several big bosses turned even uglier. What does it mean to "inform them"? This is putting themselves on the same level as the imperial court!
Furthermore, none of us, who are not well-read in poetry, taught by saints, respected by others, and highly respected, can do anything to persecute other people’s families, just to prepare to move them to the capital and give them more care.
Good treatment, a dedicated person will be assigned to serve around you every day, and food and accommodation are free!
However...since Wang Xuan is unwilling to accept the kindness, he should just follow the rules of the 'Tao'.
"Of course, there is no need to worry about this." Several big bosses expressed their opinions at the same time, and the matter was settled. After all, who doesn't have a family...
"That's great." Li Shantang laughed, "My family leader often said that most of the conflicts in the world are caused by poor communication. Now it seems that it is indeed true. Our communication will solve the problem!
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let's talk about the second thing today. I believe you all have read the memorial of Qi Hongliang, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. I wonder what you think!?" After saying that, Li Shantang started to stare.
Looking at everyone's reaction, this is the main topic today. Since the court has tested his hand, he will naturally return it.
Qi Hongliang?
Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi?
How could you, Li Shantang, have been dismissed from your post so long ago? Why are you pretending to be confused?
Gao Panlong squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shantang carefully, wanting to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Fang Congzhe frowned, "Why don't I know what memorial it is?"
Everyone was looking at him. He walked around the cabinet every day to give memorials. How could he not pay attention to the news from the south? How could he not know about it?
"What do you mean, Mr. Chief Minister? The memorial was presented yesterday. There is no mistake about it!" He prepared so much just to see the court's reaction. Now that Fang Congzhe is pretending to be confused, how can Li Shantang look so good?
Furthermore, he has also read the contents of the memorial, and the things involved are closely related to Li Shantang. If he can force the court to agree this time, then the Li family will have a way out, and he will have nothing to fear. Therefore,
Only then did he become tougher.
Others also looked at Fang Congzhe. Obviously, this matter is today's topic. What kind of trouble Wang Xuan is going to do is all in this memorial, and if he goes through such a formal channel, the issues involved must be very serious. Now Fang Congzhe
Even if they say they don't know, they are dissatisfied.
"I really didn't see it, how could I still lie?"
Yes! You little bastard has said a few truths, but you don’t have any secrets in your heart!
"Hehe, since Mr. Fang said so, let's just say Mr. Chief Assistant didn't see it." Li Shantang stood up directly and said with a sneer: "Since you don't know anything, forget it. Let's talk about it after we know it.
"
"Everyone, it's getting late, please come!" As he said that, Li Shantang made a gesture to invite people.
In any case, they did not expect that Li Shantang would turn against him faster than flipping through a book, and would actually do something like expel someone. The faces of the group of people turned completely dark.
What is everyone's status? How many times have they been kicked out over the years? It's such a shame!
But this was Li Shantang's house, and a group of old men had nothing to do. Their mouths trembled with anger, and they pointed at Li Shantang, trembling and speechless.
Li Shantang followed Wang Xuan's example and became more and more tough. He ordered the maids to bring the clothes and trousers of these old men and threw them directly on them. He even had no time to put on the clothes and drove them out mercilessly. He was wearing single clothes and was blown by the north wind.
, and sneezed loudly.
All of them were in their fifties or sixties. They couldn't bear the cold wind and didn't care about anything else. They hurriedly put on their clothes and hurried out of Li Shantang's mansion. Fortunately, it was dark and they couldn't see their embarrassed appearance. It was dark.
They put on their warm sedans with a smile on their faces and went straight to their respective mansions.
Regarding today's workshop, Li Shantang didn't think there was anything wrong. Everyone had already reached the point where they were fighting to the death, but they still had their own concerns. If it was normal, they would still have some respect, but when it was time to fall out, he would naturally not have anything to do with it.
scruples.
Turning around, Fang Congzhe brought Gao Panlong and others to the cabinet early in the morning with a livid face. After entering the door without saying a word, he shouted: "That's the memorial from Qi Hongliang of Guangxi!"
This loud roar made more than a dozen people in the cabinet tremble in fright. Looking at the furious Fang Congzhe and at the group of big bosses behind him who were staring at him, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to say.
"Are they all dead? Let's talk. I'll let you eat the memorial!" Fang Congzhe, who was in his sixties, walked over angrily, grabbed a guy by the collar, and stared at him, "Say!"
"Yes, yes, in the trash can." After saying this, his whole body collapsed to the ground, and sweat flowed out as if he didn't need money.
(Originally, I promised to make ten thousand a day today, but as a result, something happened at home, so the recent updates may not be effective, so I’ll give it a try.)
