Chapter 2 The second round of public Xiaolian supper discusses Kejia group and raises people to talk about loyalty and treachery

Cao Xibao benefited Tongji Wu Province Qinfang Lingcheng Ma Xiangzu went to Xishan today to get drunk with poetry and wine. At this moment, the excitement is still not over, and he completely ignored what they said that "Li Zhitai" is right in front of him.Hearing the examiner's test questions, I was tired and hungry, and I forgot.Seeing the waiter serving the meal, Fang Lingcheng stretched his neck to look at it and said, "Isn't it just noodles with fried sauce? Give it to the people in the other room first, and let's eat the last pot!" Then he said to everyone: "I guess, it must be Ji He is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the world-renowned Master Hengwen, the president of the "Siku Quanshu", and now he is being enshrined, if he is not the examiner, who should be?" His eyes were aggressive: "Ji Xiaolan is different from Ah Gui, This is a great Confucian who studies heaven and man and understands the poor world. It’s like a boy doing eight comparisons to his teacher. You just write down the principles of nature and human nature for him to read. After reading a few lines, you become impatient and brush your paper, and you will appear in disgrace. The principle must be mellow, the smell must be spicy, and the six classics should be quoted accurately. You should neither be petty, nor dare to show off at will. Only then can it suit the old man's wishes!"

"You only know one thing and don't know the other!" The tall Wu Shengqin sat on a chair with his legs propped up, playing with the braids with one hand and said: "—Don't forget that he is a great talent! How can he please him? You also need to pay attention to literary grace and elegance, the rhythm is more sonorous, the avenue is refined and elegant, and the yin and yang complement each other, so it must have caught his eyes!" He paused, "Ah Guiye He pays attention to grandeur and heroism in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and he is happy when he sees it; if he clicks Liu Yong, the pen goes down to reason layer by layer, such as wadding cotton, peeling bananas, and spinning silk, and pays attention to rigor and precision; or he clicks Li The platform maker—he is a rough talent, he has been doing errands in the army outside, and has never presided over a general examination. Only because of this, maybe because of his lack of family opinion, it is difficult for a scholar to guess the questions blindly—he was indeed selected, but It’s hard to figure it out.”

Li Shiyao was listening intently, when suddenly it was his turn, he couldn't help being startled, thinking that the word "rough scholar" is not an insult to himself, and "no opinion of the family" is still a good word, he calmed down a little, and sat and carried the pot to drink for himself. Tea is obedient.It was the fat man named Hui Tongji who interjected. He leaned back halfway in the chair, straightened his arms and pressed the teacup cover firmly, and said with a determined expression: "Now General Zhaohui is sending troops to Xinjiang, and Gui Zhongtang is in charge of the military department. You can't preside over Chun Wei separately. Dali will cause troubles in the White Lotus Sect, and Master Liu Shi'an can't point out this errand. Have you read the preface written by Sheng Shiyan to Ji Zhongtang?" He glanced at everyone with a little pride, cleared his throat and recited road:

Confucianists can say nothing about writing to convey Tao.Husband and Taoism, how can it be that deep and unpredictable secrets are not passed on, like the heart seal of Buddhism, or the formulas of Taoism?The principle that everything should be done is the way.Therefore, the Tao is in the heaven and the earth, like water pouring down on the earth, and all the particles are round; like the moon reflecting on the water, it can be seen everywhere.As big as governing the country and leveling the world, as small as every thing, every movement, and every word, the Tao is everywhere.Wen, one end of the way.The greatest text is the Six Classics, which is the foundation of the Dao, and it is reduced to the history of the dynasties, and it is the book of the philosophers, and it is the collection of hundreds of thousands.

Fang Lingcheng interrupted him with a smile: "According to Brother Hui Xian, if Ji Dajun takes the exam, we must first memorize all the complete books of the classics and history collections and four libraries before we can perfunctory? What are you talking about? Understand." Son, hurry up and say something you can understand!" "Brother understands it in just one sentence. Ji Zhongtang is not easy to serve." Hui Tongji laughed all of a sudden, "Li Gaotao (the word for Shi Yao) is so foolish!" Li Shiyao gulped down his tea, and cursed with a smile in his heart: "Your fat pig, I'm so foolish"—wait and see!" When he turned his face to look, it was the reunion-faced man named Ma Xiangzu who retorted: "Li Shiyao is so foolish ? Don't look at him saying "Damn fart, fuck your mother" to the subordinates. He seems to be a rough man in the ranks, and he is also bold in admiring others. In fact, he is the most caring person. The problem brought out by the soldiers - he went to Jiangxi to inspect the school and searched for scholars. So where is the entrainment? It was the government who caught the Jiangyang thief and searched for the stolen goods! It is shameful to say that it is insulting to the gentleman, even the patch of the robe is taken apart, called The scholar bent over and broke his buttocks to check--" At this point, everyone laughed. Li Shiyao did have this matter. Fu Heng also wrote a letter to call him "an act of a philistine and a rascal. It must be a scholar who hurts others and hurts his own virtue." The scoff."Today I really bumped into Jing Er, and I felt my face heat up as soon as my heart warmed up.Ma Xiangzu didn't care about the thoughts of the old man sitting in the corner, he just said to himself: "This group of scholars are really gnashing their teeth, and there is nothing they can do. There was a poem about him at that time." He cleared his throat and groaned in a strange tone:

The sky taught us to be affected by flying disasters, and Si Kou came to inspect this year. Students in the year-old exams pretend to be sick, and the toasts in the village are afraid of losing their talents. The old boy's arms were searched, and the newcomer's hands were all opened. Even if the punishment of porridge is taught in the Ming Dynasty, you must know that peaches and plums must be cultivated! Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Li Daiyao took a sip of the tea with a sullen face, but he didn't feel any taste at all. He put down the teacup and got up and went back to the East courtyard.

"Master Li, Mr. Li..." The boss has been standing by the side with trepidation. Seeing him walk away with a sullen face, he hurried out a few steps, walked beside him, and said with a smile in a slow voice, "Don't worry about them youngsters... How many years have the villain’s store been here, and this kind of thing has been seen a lot. Hehe... If the judges try to figure out the test questions, if they have no intentions, they can go in one ear and come out the other! That year Huguang Li Ju came to Futai as well, and several people commented that he is' Hypocrites are really villains' - what a cruel word! It's so hard to swallow, and Li Futai just smiled and let go. Hehe... Don't look at them talking nonsense at this moment, it's so real When Longmen watched the dragon and tiger list to pay homage to the house master, he still spun around you like a dog's tail to have fun..." Li Shiyao smiled, and said: "My measure may not be smaller than Li Futai, don't care! Copy their names to my servants, maybe I will take care of some of them! I will go back and rest, and report to me anytime when He Shen comes." Boss Cai looked at his expression, it really didn't look like he was angry, and boasted a few more words The sentence "Really the prime minister measures the majesty's style", tiptoed back to the front shop, arched his hands and smiled at several Xiaolians: "Men went out for a day, even if you go back and forth in a sedan chair, you can still straighten your legs if you go around the mountain. People who are exhausted, it’s cold, eat a bowl of noodles with fried sauce, and drink a bowl of sheep’s blood soup, warm and sleep under the covers. How beautiful!” Calling the waiter to serve the meal, he kept saying: "Writing articles and writing poems, there is a day to show off your talent and learning..." Everyone was busy eating, and Cao Xishi took a sip of soup from a bowl, said "yes", and praised the boss: "This is no less than that of Xi'an Laodong." The mutton from the door is ready for soup—the boss can speak and do things, no wonder the business is booming!" "Borrow the auspicious words from Master Cao!" The boss hurriedly replied with a smile: "My master will definitely win this time, and he will sit firmly as the second prime minister of Taiping in the future. Ten years, every day will make a lot of money!"

"This old boy is so exquisite, he can pour a big bowl of rice soup without any hassle!" Hui Tongji chewed a piece of meat and said with a smile: "Xibao is blessed to carry a house with you. You can assist the government for twenty years and make a lot of money every day. We are Little bald follows the moon, everyone will be stained!" "Who decides about fame?" Fang Lingcheng had finished eating the noodles, and stirred the meat in the broth with a spoon, and said with a smile: "I will do it to Xiangguo. It has been more than 20 years, and the Xiongci Lu Mingzhu Suo'etu who was in front of Kangxi also has 20 years. Zhu Guangbiao and Yin Tai are not genuine brands. Needless to say, Zhang Tingyu, from his twenties to Jishu Counselor, seventy is not allowed Retirement is an odd number. Master Fu Liu is the number one Red Army plane in the hands of Lord Qianlong. Although Ji Zhongtang entered the military plane early, he only became a bachelor last year, and Agui Zhongtang and Yin Zhongtang are not old enough... I am the second son of the fair and righteous There are really not many prime ministers in ten years—" He suddenly thought that the three former prime ministers of Xiong Cilu, the pearl Suo'etu, were deposed or imprisoned; The relative even became a ghost under the knife. Although Fu Heng and Yin Jishan were not replaced by the holy family, they died of illness at a young age... "Moreover, the prime ministers of this dynasty are not happy."

Seeing that he stopped suddenly, bowed his head to fish the meat in the soup without saying a word, and looked focused, they all thought it was funny. Wu Shengqin sighed: "The length of the prime minister's reign is related to the fate of the country. Generally speaking, the stability of the country is long, and the prime minister also Just sit firmly. Han Zhou Bo was thirty-four years old, Guanying was thirty-four years old; Twenty years for Yang Rong and thirty years for Xie Zhengting. As for the prime ministers in the late Southern Song Dynasty who even changed every few months, and the fifty-four prime ministers in the 16th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty... these prime ministers are also outstanding among men, but the country is exhausted. Just follow the bad luck." Fang Lingcheng retorted with a smile: "If the country's fortune is not good, the prime minister will be replaced frequently? Wei Sima Yi was 22 years old, Sui Yangsu was 26 years old, and Feng Dao Changle of the Five Dynasties lived through four dynasties. It’s okay to change dynasties! There’s also Cao Cao, who worshiped Sikong in the second year of Jian’an, until the end of the prime minister, King Wei, and reigned for twenty-five years—tell me about it!”

"What Lingcheng said is that the length of the prime minister's reign has nothing to do with the fate of the country. If the ancestors have virtues, cultivate virtues themselves, and loyal ministers assist the Ming Lord, they will naturally be well-clothed and well-fed, and the high-ranking officials will do a long-term job." Said: "I don't dare to say anything else. Cao Cao is a loyal minister, and so is Sima Yi. How can the emperor be worried about such a minister in charge of the court? The holy family is good, and naturally it will be long-term." Ma Xiangzu is not pedantic in his daily life, he is addicted to art making, Bafu Zhiyi is the leader of Su Dong, he has published several ink scroll sermons, when he suddenly said such a sentence, everyone thought he was joking, and didn't care much.Only Fang Lingcheng had read his article and knew some details. Seeing Ma Xiangzu's solemn and awe-inspiring expression, he tentatively asked, "Have you read it?" "How can there be books that are older than the Four Books? My father taught us a lesson when we were sensible. Guan Hanqing's, Shi Naian's "Sou Shen Ji", Luo Guanzhong's... These books can all be burned! Wasn't it written by Pu Liuxian? Yes When I was young, I secretly read the witty book. It was full of officials and unofficial histories, Qi Dong’s wild words were not enough to read, or it was about ghosts and foxes, gods and Buddhas. It was very boring... Later, the adults met, After a beating, the books are also burned, and I will not read those books from now on." He licked his lips, and drank the soup as if no one was around.The crowd had long been dazzled by what they had heard, and only now did they realize that this person was completely ignorant of classics, history, and wild history novels, and couldn't help laughing.Fang Lingcheng said sternly: "Your father's court precepts are admirable. How many people still understand this truth? In fact, even Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" can be burned. The next "Mencius", "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are enough for my generation of scholars." Ma Xiangzu said: "Yes, this is exactly what my father taught me."

"However, admission is always to be an official, and you must remember the names of loyal ministers!" Fang Lingcheng said to the dazed Ma Xiangzu with a serious face, "Cao Cao and Sima Yi, as Brother Ma just said, are role models for my generation. But Brother Ma knows I don't know, the number one loyal minister in history is not Cao Cao, there is a 'Lingyan Pavilion Ranking List'!" "Then... who is number one?" "Zhao Gao, Qin Shi's." "Oh... What's next?" "Wang Mang." "This is the second." "Then came Cao Cao and Sima Yi." Fang Lingcheng suppressed a belly laugh, and broke his fingers like a treasure. Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu, Lu Qi, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty, Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Wang Zhen, and Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty—these are all role models for courtiers, and they must be remembered. , Who is your typical example in history as a courtier? ’ You just kowtow and say, ‘I want to learn from Cao Cao, devote myself to death, and be a prime minister of Wei Wang to assist my lord! '—how proud of that! Ma Xiangzu hurriedly waved his hands in thanks and said, "How can I be so lucky!"It would be nice to be able to do Wei Zhongxian. " As soon as the voice fell, he was already laughing.Hui Tongji clutched his stomach against the wall and couldn't straighten up, Wu Shengqin laughed until tears flowed, pointed at Fang Lingcheng with one hand, and coughed while leaning on the back of the chair with the other: "You should gouge out your tongue and cut off your head, it's really a sin! " Ma Xiangzu stared at himself and asked: "What's so funny?" Cao Xibao wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Brother Ren Zhai fell for him... You should really read it carefully... Let them deceive you like this!" At this time, Fang Lingcheng laughed heartily, blowing his nose and wiping his tears, and said to Wu Shengqin: "If Ma Renzhai wants to be Wei Zhongxian, then he must cut off his head before he can have fun! ... Let's not talk about it, let's talk about it." , it’s time to rest...I still have to talk to Xi Baodi, and ask him to make a fuss. The boss arranged for us to be in the same room—I won’t have fun with you..." Boss Cai agreed repeatedly Then, he ordered the buddy to clean up the dishes.Everyone got up one after another, and Hui Tongji still asked himself: "What article? Do you want us, Brother Ma, to write it?" Suddenly someone outside the shop asked: "Cai's family, we are here with your lord——Has lord Li rested yet?" As he spoke, he saw Liu Quan come in, and then several yamen servants came in through the door, a gust of cold wind came in with the people, blowing the candles to shake, all the people immediately suppressed their smiles, and followed the shop assistants into the back shop.Boss Cai hurriedly told his assistant, "Come to the East Courtyard to report to Master Zhitai" and ran all the way to welcome him out of the shop. He saw that He Shen had dismounted from his horse and was standing in the shadow of the lamp in front of the tethering post, rubbing his hands together, as if he was in a trance. This is a very handsome young man who looks to be in his early twenties.A pair of almond eyes on a square face with a long arc, black and thin eyebrows that look like they have been drawn with an ink pen, the nose under the high bridge of the nose is slightly raised, and the face is as free as five lips with red teeth and white teeth. The sky-blue Ningxia silk jacket is tied with a black embroidered gold thread Wolong belt, and a rose-purple Batulu lambskin wind-fur vest is worn on the upper body. A piece of Chinese jade is embedded in the black satin six-in-one hat. from the back of the head to the waist.Boss Cai sees him every day and this is the first time to meet this noble person so close, he can't help but think to himself: His figure looks like a Guanyin in the competition, but he said with a smile: "Greetings to my father--you are auspicious! It's so cold God, it’s raining again, Lord, please put it inside!” He Shen looked up at the sky, stretched out his palm to try, and smiled, “I can’t tell if it’s rain or snow, this can only make God sneeze——throw Xing'er, you can't call it raining." After saying that, he entered the store, walking from one end to the other, "Where does Lord Gao Yao live? Take me to see you." "I have already gone in to report, my lord will stay here for a while." Boss Cai and a group of four or five guys surrounded He Shen and the group of people to serve attentively, wiped the table and dusted the chairs, made oolong tea for He Shen, and called "Bring buns for snacks for the men."He Kun smiled and waved his hands to stop, and said: "Don't be busy, I have something to do, I will leave when I see the adults." He didn't sit down, just wandered around the ground.Suddenly, I saw the man who went in to report brought Xiao Wuzi into the front shop through the side door of the east courtyard.Little Wuzi raised his face and glanced around the crowd, nodded politely at He Shen, with an undisguised indifference in his tone: "Are you Lord He Shen?" With a smile on He Shen's face, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes." "My lord is writing a book and just burned incense. Please wait here with your lord. Your lord said that this place is no better than the Guangdong Yamen. Please forgive me for the brevity." "Please report back to Mr. Taiwan. I came out to see you tonight, and I still have urgent matters. Your Excellency is busy, so let the official go back first. Come back tomorrow morning to say hello. We have to wait for a short time to see you. I will wait for your Excellency to finish writing See you and go back." "Please wait with the adults." After finishing speaking, Xiao Wuzi gave his hand to the chair, turned around and left.He Shen ignored it, took out his watch, walked around the room for a few steps, and asked, "You have a strange name, which is elegant, who named it?" Boss Cai took the hot towel from the clerk. Hold it to He Shen: "Wipe your face—the name of this shop has a history, and there is a story! When my father opened the shop in the early years, there was a living god in Beijing named Jia Shifang, who often came to the shop to drink. Once he showed his magical powers. The crowd turned a wine jar like a leather cloth bag, with the pottery side facing out and the glazed side facing in. This story spread, and people from far and near called us "Fantandian". The homonym of this name is not good, I don't know. People often ask, "Is it the meaning of the old turtle turning over the pond?" It was changed to "Tan" of epiphyllum, and some people said it was like the name of the temple. Later, a lord Xiaolian gave this name-it was said to be suitable for both refined and popular. This kind of fairy spirit, good meaning and good name, all the gentlemen love it." He Shen nodded again and again.Although his rank can only be regarded as a sesame official in Beijing, one end is connected to the Military Aircraft Office and the other is attached to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Use 30% to pay back the national treasury, the official is not big, the six ministries and the Shuntian Mansion, and the infantry command the yamen, no official yamen can really control him, officials from other provinces who come to Beijing, Beijing businessmen and foreign businessmen on their way back will hit the net here, look at Heshen Faces, pennies and bahts are all about fighting for every cent, and keeping money to buy roads is the best small yamen that can sweep officials' face.It's just that He Shen has no airs, and at the moment there is no official style at all. The parents have short conversations with Boss Cai, from housework to business, about the weather and about the year, talking about it like family members.Boss Cai was flattered and dealt with it carefully and thoughtfully. When He Shen asked about the ghost market outside the door, he hurriedly smiled and said: "This kind of weather is not possible, it is too cold and humid, there are few people shopping in the market, and naturally there are no more stalls. Xingtou—I want to buy some rare things, and it’s not convenient for me to come here, so I’ll run errands for you.” “There’s nothing taboo.” He Shen listened attentively to the movement in the east courtyard, sipped his tea with a smile and said, “I want to buy some Yazizhang’s feeding utensils and snuff bottles, several reams of Song Dynasty paper, have not been able to get the real ones, and people say that the ghost market is full of goods, so I don’t know if it’s real or not.” "Really! Except for dragon eggs and phoenix eggs, there is no ghost market that you can't buy." The boss said with a smile: "Dongchenggen, Yuwenqiao, Qipan Street and Chongwenmenwai are the four major ghost markets. Why? It’s a kind of stolen goods that are sold in the city for fear that the owner of the government will catch them, and there is nowhere to escape. Once the family is ruined, it’s embarrassing to sell antiques for fear of being bumped into by acquaintances. This place is remote, and the ghost market thrives This half-street alley, looking from the west end, Hujiadian jade wares, Lingzizhang's Dingdai Hualing, Yunlinzhai's Beijing silk fan, Bingyuzhai's jewelry. Then there are Nanzhi, Songzhi, ancient Inkstones, Chinese tiles, calligraphy and painting, old books, rubbings, tobacco materials, ancient swords, old books, singing books, plasters, flowers and trees, all kinds of small dogs... I want smoke pots and Song papers, there are! I told Qi Liu that I will definitely get them for you Here are the real ones..." He added another example, someone bought a Guqin for two taels of silver, and went to Yunlinzhai to appraise it. It turned out to be an object from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it could be worth ten thousand. , overturned and scratched the paint leather, it turned out to be made of gold... How come the children of the shabby households under the banner are useless, and they dig out antiques behind their backs to exchange money, Dong Xiangguang's calligraphy and painting, Gao Shiqi's calligraphy, Song Huizong's eagle, Wu Daozi's Avalokitesvara Sending a Child The picture is worth three or not two shots... After spending time with him, He Shen just waited for Li Shiyao's letter.Looking at the watch again, it was past Xu and it was early Haichu, but there was still no movement inside.Liu Quan had been waiting anxiously for a long time, knowing that Li Shiyao intended to take money to amuse his master and servant, he swallowed and said: "My lord, the girls bought by Mrs. 22nd Lord of the Chengqin Wang's family are practicing in the mansion tonight. Several side wives are watching, and Master Yizhu is also there. If we go back late, we will not say that we have something to do, but it seems to be deliberately slow. There is also the statue of Lu Dongbin, Handan Jade Pillow, which you invited from Wutai Mountain to the Twenty-Second Lord, If you don't go back in person, how can you ask your family to give them to others? In this way, the slaves are waiting here. If Master Li wants to ask, it will be clear, and the master will come to say hello early in the morning. Is this possible?" He Shen Biting his lower lip, he pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "I have no feud with Mr. Gao Tao. You go in and report again, just say that I have repeatedly paid my respects, and there is indeed something urgent. Please Mr. Li take the time to deal with it. Mr. Li is really busy. I'll rush over to plead guilty tomorrow morning." He stood up and waited.Still with a slight smile on his face, he said to the boss: "You know what happened. Tomorrow, when I have time, I will take a look at the jar in your house, and then take me around the ghost market." Liu Quan came back in a blink of an eye after arriving at the East Courtyard. His head was red with anger, his neck muscles were bulging, and he said to He Shen, "Where are you writing his mother's memorial? You are clearly bullying! Go to the room!" It’s all in the dark! Dare to stand up and ask us to wait! The surname Wu said that Mr. Li’s nature is to lie on the bed in the dark and write some "belly manuscripts", telling us to wait honestly! —— Isn’t this just making fun of us men? ?" He was panting heavily, his face was pale, and he cursed rudely: "I have seen the prince, I have seen the minister of military aircraft, other people are not human beings, the roots are not tree hatred—" He didn't finish his sentence He Shen has already stopped him: "Presumptuous! Do you think you are still a desperate gambler in Santang Town? You are still the young shopkeeper of the Liu family's pawnshop? You must speak properly! Master Li needs a rough draft after finishing the draft, which is inconvenient late at night. Disturb the old man again. I would like to trouble Boss Cai to report on your behalf, anyway, I came here early in the morning." After Wen Cunwen quietly ordered, all the angry scribes and government servants in the room turned back, and no one shouted and shouted.The boss sent them straight out of the alley before stinging back, wishing Heshen to measure his utensils, still feeling deeply moved.Seeing that there was no movement in the east courtyard, the lights on the windows in the east chamber of the north courtyard were shining brightly. It was Fang Lingcheng and Cao Xibao who were writing articles together, so he didn't dare to go to sleep. Wu Zi came in and immediately asked: "Where's the person? Where's the Heshen person? My lord wants to summon him!" "Well, ah!" The boss was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he realized that he was asking himself, and hurriedly got up to make an apologetic answer, and euphemistically explained the situation when He Shen left, and said: "He respects Li Zhitai very much. I apologize again and again, please forgive me, I will come over early tomorrow morning to say goodbye to the master..." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Wuzi had already gone.Boss Cai still stood there in a daze: Comparing this way, the producer is also unreasonable, looking like he is deliberately finding faults to make trouble, why bother? ...Little Wu Zi went to the upper room of the east courtyard and relayed the words of the boss.Li Shiyao was silent for a while, rolled up his sleeves and lightly rubbed the ink in the inkstone. Looking at the faint candlelight, his pupils were as dark as black stones embedded in the earthen walls, the muscles around his cheeks twitched a few times, and a sinister smile hung from the corner of his mouth, and said : "This little boy, I want to show him some color, hum!" "My lord," Little Wu Zi looked at his superior in bewilderment, "You want to impeach him?" "Impeachment!—is he worthy?" Li Shiyao gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "This is not what you asked. Tell the brothers to dress up and enter the city tomorrow. Whoever dares to stop, obey my order, just arrest people!" Little Wuzi's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Master! This is Beijing City!" He wanted to continue talking, but Li Shiyao's eyes stopped him, and he retreated repeatedly.Li Shiyao just spread the paper, soaked the ink, burned incense, and wrote in the memorial booklet: The slave Li Shiyao knelt and played: I was ordered to inquire before, and you left Guangzhou. Who can replace him?Li Shiyao is recommended by the public in good faith for verification and appointment.This!According to slaves, since the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign, Mengsi was awarded the deputy chief officer, and then promoted to chief officer. He successively served as the deputy governor of Zhenglan Banner and the governor of Rehe. General.Although he was repeatedly employed in Beijing, he actually went on business abroad.Whether managing copper politics, or handling military affairs, or assisting in the investigation of cases, it's not like living in the center of the machine for a day to see the overall situation.Slaves are by nature sparse and lonely, but they only know how to serve their master with sincerity, diligence and care.Although the friendship between gentlemen does not abandon personal friendship, there is no such thing as a personal friend of a slave.He stopped the pen, pondered for a moment and wrote: The governor is the national barrier, and the most important thing is to shepherd the people on one side of the territory on behalf of Tiantian.Guangdong and Guangxi are adjacent to the outer feudal vassals, where Han and Yi live in mixed places, and the folk customs are hawks and birds of prey, which are easy to gather crowds to cause trouble, so it has been called difficult to rule.As far as the servants know, Sun Shiyi Congcha, the governor of Yunnan, is capable, and Le Min, the governor of Huguang, is sensitive to history, and they may be able to take up the post.At this point in writing, looking at the coherence of the context, it immediately shows a flaw: confession and show off.It is slow to say that Ren Que, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is far inferior to Ren Que of Liangjiang. Even if it is really "the most difficult problem in the world", it is not appropriate to say that it is none other than yourself.He sucked his lips and leaned back in a daze for a while, then wrote quickly: The slave is originally stupid and talented, and he has been taught by the language of the heavens in his successive posts. The book slips are carefully folded, and everything goes straight to Jiuzhong. Mistakes and omissions are everywhere, and you should go to the Lord to face you, one is to be happy, and to comfort the slave's desire to love the master; the other is to feel ashamed, fearing that the slave will miss the place soon, and cause the master to worry .In the deserted and cold suburban post with green lights and lonely shadows, Lin Ying thought of the Lord's thoughts, and couldn't help crying... He looked again, and put down his pen in satisfaction.Listening to the movement outside the house, there are still gusts of wind, the whistling sound seems to be louder, and sometimes there is a fine rustling sound like fine sand on the window, the window paper is a bit damp, and the color looks dim under the lamp.Only in this way, it looks more quiet and peaceful, peaceful and warm, warm and hypnotic.He stretched his hand and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to bed..." Li Shiyao has developed the habit of getting up at the sound of chickens for many years, and there is also a fixed schedule for morning classes. When he gets up, he reads books for half an hour, plays a set of long fists, and plays a hole song before doing business. Therefore, Yinchu got up and read by candle.A group of accompanying Ghoshha knew his rules and stood neatly under the eaves of the wing, holding their breath and waiting for orders.Li Shiyao from the Yin Zhengshi card came out of the hospital on time, stretched his arms in the cold wind and took a few deep breaths, opened his posture and was about to punch, when he heard a voice from the front shop, he thought it was He Shen, so he ordered: "He Shen Shen is here and tell him to wait outside." Just after finishing speaking, the person has already entered the hospital, but it wasn't He Kun, it was Li Bashiwu, the housekeeper in the capital, and Zhang Yongshou, the master who returned to Beijing earlier, to pick him up of.Li Shiyao wrinkled his head and said: "Didn't Little Wu say anything last night? Tell you to wait at home. In case there is any order in the palace, you all come out. Are you telling the women to take the order?" Zhang Yongshou and Li Bashiwu rushed up a few steps to greet Li Shiyao, Li Bashiwu said with a smile: "There is a message from the Guizhongtang mansion that Fu Xiangye has arrived at Luhe Station when he returned to Beijing today. In other words, if Li Shiyao is going to Beijing, he will meet Ah Gui first, and then introduce him. Ji Zhongtang has gone to pick up Mr. Fu, but there is no one in the military plane. Yes. After discussing with Master Zhang, we will report to you." Li Shiyao heard Qianlong's words, put his hands on his waist and said: "Yes." Turning around, he called: "Little Wu!" "exist!" "Take the car and go to the city!" "tie!" There was a rush of horses neighing and mule kicking, and the mule cart had stopped.Boss Cai and his staff also rushed to open the door to see him off. Li Shiyao no longer rode in a mule cart. In the back and forth tour, the car prints and mud marks all over the street were sticky, and a few people who got up early to endorse stood on the side of the street and watched from afar.Li Shiyao didn't pay any attention, he swept his whip backwards, and the motorcade arrived at Chongwenmen.In fact, Huitandian and Chongwenmen are only a short distance away, and it is only a stone's throw to the east and about half a mile to the north.Li Shiyao was still afraid that he would be late to enter the city, so he hurried to ride and arrived at Chongwenmen in an instant. He saw that the gate of the city had already opened, and the carts pulling water and soybean milk, charcoal coal carts, earthen carts, and radish carts were shouting. The drink was rumbled and rolled to the city from time to time, and a few taxpayers sat at the door, lighting the wind lamp to collect money. Except for the charcoal cart, which was three cents per car, the rest was paid for a penny. Although it was such a small business, Tax collection is also serious and meticulous.Li Shiyao saw that the tax office hadn't opened yet, so he ordered Li Bashiwu and Xiao Wuzi: "Go and have a look!" "Yes!" Li Bashi hurriedly replied, and rushed over with Xiao Wuzi.There were two people collecting the bill. Seeing the two of them approaching, and hissing his eyes, Xiao Wuzi rapped his whip on the table twice, and said, "Hey! Get these cars out of the way. I'll be with you." Master said, we adults have to pass the test!" The bill collectors were startled when they saw his aura, and when they stared at him, one of them recognized Li Bashiu and said with a smile: "It's Master Bashifi! So Master Li went to the city early in the morning? He told me last night that Master Li is different from others and told us to wait carefully. He will definitely arrive before the right time and personally send Master Li into the city." Li Shiyao reined in immediately. Holding the reins, he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, but his tone was very calm, and he said, "It will be too late until Maozheng, I have to rush to the military aircraft. Come with your lord, and thank you for me." Li Bashiwu also laughed Said: "Agui Zhongtang is waiting for our master." As he said, he handed a small package to each of the two tax collectors without saying a word, winked and said: "Brother Geshu, I have something to say when I look back, brother here." The man named Geshu seemed to be a leader, he pinched the torn paper with his fingers and pinched it, and he knew it was a small golden pancake. Stop the car! Make way for Li Zhitai, hey! What are you doing? Stand back, I don’t collect taxes, you dare to pass this gate? Hey, what are you looking at? You! Drag your old donkey back— — Hurry up!" He said with a grin at Li Shiyao, and said: "I told you that I will personally pick you up into the city. This is all money from the palace, and the tax collection is limited. Please take the car in first, and then we will go with the master. I’ll go to you again, and I’ll settle it according to the account book—” Before he finished speaking, there was a string of four lanterns inside the city gate, all of which were the size of watermelons, and the word “和” was written on the lanterns, winding meandering near.Ge Shu smiled and said, "Here comes." Li Shiyao said "hmm", looked at He Shen in the shadow of the lamp and got off the sedan chair, went forward to pay homage, and said, "I'm sorry for you. Come pick me up so early. " "This is a humble job, and I never dare to neglect it." With a smile on his face, He Kun stood up straight, "Please serve tea at the door and talk." "I'm in a hurry to go into the city, and Lord Long Live ordered me to go in from the Military Aircraft Department." "Your Excellency is going into the city, I didn't say anything." He Shen gave up his hand and said, "You are welcome to drive—but the mule cart must be left behind for customs inspection and tax payment." Li Shiyao blushed, suppressed his anger and said, "In the car is the customs lijin, and the imperial gang—do you understand?" "My lord, in addition to the military salary, there is the seal of the Ministry of War and the seal of the emperor, and the rest must be inspected-this is the duty of a humble job." He Shen looked away, still with an unbreakable smile on his face, and said slowly: "Last night The humble official asked Zhao Weisan, the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who also serves as the servant of the household department. Lao Zhao said that the customs lijin can be exempted from inspection, and the internal affairs department and the household department will convert the winning and losing accounts, but the rest of the property still needs to be checked. Just talking about my lord, the original I didn’t say anything, but the messengers here are responsible to Lord Long Live. Every five days when you come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to withdraw money, you have to check the accounts. You are such a high-ranking official, there is absolutely no reason not to ask. Besides, if you don’t check this time, your lord I will try to investigate again when I come to the Governor-General. I am just a watchdog for the emperor in Chongwenmen, and I have to suffer unavoidably. Please forgive me." After finishing speaking, he licked his lips and lowered his hands. Li Shiyao saw the iron-headed hozen's invulnerable posture, and wanted to chuck his head and whip him away. The muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he asked sullenly: "There is no such thing as Li Shiyao's private goods here, and I am not like some You bastard, like a bamboo stick with its head cut off, piercing everywhere. Except for Lijin, they are all assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the things bought for Mrs. Nala, Mrs. Niu, are you also allowed to search and collect taxes?" "Look, my lord." He Shen didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words at all, and pointed to the back of the long-formed convoy, "Those carts of pigs, carts of sheep, and those waterwheels with live fish, they will be dragged eastward when entering the city." When Huamen enters the palace, the royal kitchen must also be taxed for the same day. Here, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has requested the rules, and low-ranking officials dare not be rude." "Should I not?" "My lord, that humble position has to be closed. Please make a decision!" "Damn it!" Little Wu Zi couldn't bear it, and cursed: "Don't say you are a dog with a tail, you are the governor and governor of Zhili, can you stop us adults outside the city? Things that grow up on grass - shame on your face!" Several Goshhas were already irritated and writhed, and they took off their muskets on their shoulders with a "swish" and raised them, and one Goshha shouted: Get out of the way, or you'll be damned sacrificed!" The soldiers who followed the car also held their knives in their hands, staring at He Shen angrily.The tax collectors usually only blow their beards and stare at the common people. Wherever they have seen this battle, they were dumbfounded for a moment. One of the lanterns rolled down to the ground as soon as he let go of the lantern, and the rest of the tax officials shrank to the door. ．All of them were pale and had cramps in their calves.Only Liu Quan was very wild. He stepped forward with his hands on his hips and yelled at all the soldiers: "Beijing is not your turn! ——Damn it, fire if you have the guts!" A trace of cowardice flashed in He Shen's eyes, and he immediately calmed down.He himself once served as a soldier with Ah Gui, but Ah Gui is a commoner, unlike Li Shiyao who has served in the frontier for a long time abroad, who prides himself on being versatile in both civil and military affairs, and has an air of arrogance and domineering.思量着，喝退刘全，对李侍尧又一躬，说道：“我也是当兵出身。在西大口跟阿桂中堂剿过马贼。但请制台约束下人，不要无礼。这里是我的辖地，验关又是我的差使，卑职不敢难为大人，大人也不必让卑职过于难堪。这里多少人看着，失了官体大家不好看相。” 李侍尧在马上回头张望，其时已近卯时，天色渐渐朦胧清亮，果见不远处人头攒拥，拉货伕、进城的乡民被税丁拦着，痴痴茫茫伸脖子瞪眼看着这边，他绷紧了嘴唇，从鼻子里透一口气，说道：“这个你看看。”说着从袖中抽出一封明黄缎子小包递给张永受。张永受捧转给和珅，和珅展开看时，是李侍尧奏说广东任上百姓私自勾结西洋人，学说西洋话的折子。尾处敬空赫然写着御批。和珅忙跪下展读，上边写道： 览奏甚慰。丈夫一怒，血溅明堂五步，卿之诛刘亚匾一举何伟哉！今广州之屑小匪类，罔顾天朝体尊，蔑视理法政令，或图斗升小利，或存枭猿之志，乃效鹦鹉学舌子西夷，擅自教授外人华语。事虽琐细而体大，宜卿防微杜渐，卿之斩刘某，圈禁洪仁辉于澳门，处置甚善，非惟无须请罪，肤且发旨礼部、四夷馆着天下周知，恩旨表彰矣，卿其来京再作详奏。This!又，圣母皇太后七旬华诞，为铸发塔所用黄金白金，卿可于海关厘金中可动用者，暂行兑换一二千两，以资急用。由户部盈余补出。此事宜密，慎勿外泄，切切。下面钤的是乾隆随身小玺： 长春居士 和珅心里轰然一响，大冷天儿．额前蓦地冒出一层细汗，原以为自己占足了理的，这一道密谕，粑自己的“理”剥得精光。这怎么处？ !他毕竟天分极高机警过人的人，心知李侍尧有意给自己穿小鞋，但此时只要一开口，说什么都是错的。 “宁肯不说，绝不说错”八个字在脑海中一划而过，因什么话也不说，头轻轻在地下碰了三下，双手捧还折子。 "Walk!" 李侍尧冷笑一声，朝马屁股一鞭。骡车队滚滚而过，圆头包钉轮子在门洞石板地上隆隆辗过，发出像坛子里那样的闷声——
