Chapter 28 Section 28

On the way home, Li Lianying thought of a good vacancy for Li Shan, but this vacancy could not be transferred casually, so one had to look carefully to see if there was any chance to get rid of the old one before filling in a new one. Therefore, when he returned to the palace that day, he only praised Lishan's benefits, saying that he was sincere in his work, capable and quick, responsible and willing to work hard.Then it was mentioned to pick a date to prepare for Shangqing Yiyuan to conduct a field survey, and then draw a picture and submit it.He talked a lot, but he never revealed how to transfer Lishan to direct command.

"Okay!" Empress Dowager Cixi agreed with Li Lianying to take a look.Because every time he came back from seeing something, he heard and saw it clearly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, "You just have to take a good look at it in these three or two days. Draw a topographic map first. " "The slave will go the day after tomorrow!" "The day after tomorrow?" Empress Dowager Cixi thought for a while and said, "I originally wanted to see the stage set up by the Changchun Palace the day after tomorrow, so I will go to see it tomorrow instead."

Changchun Palace set up a stage is a trick that came out this year, for the convenience of summoning outside theater troupes. For this reason, Empress Dowager Cixi moved to Chuxiu Palace specially, and the stage of Changchun Palace has a deadline of "reporting" at the end of September. September 26th, four days before the deadline, according to the practice of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it must not have been properly arranged.Li Lianying wanted to dissuade her, but when the time limit came to see her again, her words were on the verge of her mouth, she had an idea, she retracted what she was going to say, and replied loudly: "Yes!"

The next morning, after lunch, the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Li Lianying, "Go round and round!" Every day after meals, she always walks in front of and behind the hall. It is called "Zuowaner", which is actually for digestion.As usual, there was a group of eunuchs and maids accompanying her when she made a detour. I thought she was just strolling in the corridor of Chuxiu Palace, but I didn't know that she went out of the palace and walked straight south. Knowing her whereabouts, Li Lianying took two steps forward and greeted a young eunuch, "Hurry up to the Changchun Palace and tell the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Lafayette is here, and let those who are not involved quickly avoid it."

The little eunuch dashed away from the aisle, and when he entered the Changchun Palace, he shouted: "Lafayette is here, anyone who has nothing to do with it, get out!" The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were present were shocked. The Empress Dowager Cixi arrived suddenly, so why did she come?Tang Lang Zhongwen panicked, and while driving the craftsmen out, he went to the eunuch of Changchun Palace to prepare the throne.In the midst of this chaos, Empress Dowager Cixi appeared. As soon as he stepped in, his face was ugly. Looking at the piles of messy wood and hemp ropes, he kept sneering, and kowtowed to the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs led by Wen Zhen, but the Empress Dowager Cixi ignored them at all.

"Where's the stage?" The words came out of nowhere, the voice was as cold as ice, and Wen Cheng shuddered. "Lafayette is asking: Why hasn't the stage been set up yet?" "Yes, it's time to report at the end of the month." Wen Li muttered, "Today is the 27th, and there are still three days left." "Listen," Empress Dowager Cixi turned to Li Lianying and said, "he still has reason!" In such a situation, Li Lianying is in the hands of all the misfortunes and misfortunes of the people kneeling on the ground. If he is willing to explain, or pretend to scold in front of the face first, to calm down the Empress Dowager Cixi, at least the big event can be resolved. Otherwise, even if it is a small matter, it can make a big difference.

Li Lianying wanted to make a big fuss that day, so she asked Wen Zhen at that time, "Can it be done in three days?" "Yes, yes!" Wen Li said repeatedly, "Even if it takes a day and a night, it can be built." People in Beijing do have such abilities. Of course Li Lianying knew it, but she deliberately ignored it, and said coldly: "Since this is the case, why do you have to report it at the end of the month? Pick a good day and set it up early. Now that it's over, you can pass on the play while Lafayette is happy, isn't it just a little bit of filial piety for the gentlemen to serve their errands?"

This statement was like adding fuel to the flames. The Empress Dowager Cixi scolded: "They still know filial piety? They are all mortal things!" After finishing speaking, she turned around and left. who's there?" This is the Minister of Internal Affairs.It happened that only Shi Zeng was there, and hearing the news was particularly frightening, because not only his own responsibilities were at stake, but also his eldest son Wen Lin was now working as a doctor in the manufacturing office, and Changchun Palace sent six directors of the manufacturing office to co-operate on the stage. , Wen Lin is one of them.

Trembling and trembling, he rushed to Chuxiu Palace and handed over the green card, but he was never summoned. He wanted to inquire about the news, but he said he didn't know.After waiting for an hour, the little eunuch came out and announced: I will not be summoned.However, a Zhu Yu was issued: "The official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Chinese 铦, and the director of the Manufacturing Office, if there is a delay, he will take off his hat immediately and punish him with silver." Next is the list of fines, 50,000 for the hall doctor, and 30,000 for each of the six directors of the Manufacturing Office, a total of 230,000 silver. together.

In the eyes of those who were punished, it is really unconvincing to receive such a severe punishment for such a fault that cannot be counted as a fault.As the saying goes, "If you are beaten, you will not be punished, if you are fined, you will not be punished."Where does this make sense?Only while urging the craftsmen to quickly build the stage, they discussed finding ways to beg for mercy and waive fines. If you want to beg for grace, you must first ask why the Empress Dowager Cixi is so angry?This level of writing is relatively clear, because at the time I was stunned and stunned, and I was incoherent when I dealt with it. After thinking about it, I was able to find out the crux. The bad thing was that Li Lianying refused to help.However, why did he not help?Thinking about it, I didn't offend him!Why did you come up with such a poisonous hand that fell into a well and smashed people's heads and blood?

This doubt was quickly dispelled.The next day, the military aircraft received the decree: "The doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will go to Lishan." As soon as the decree was passed on, everyone except Wen Zhen was not surprised, because Lishan had long been famous, and he was in the "Emperor's Teacher, Wang Zuo, Ghost Messenger, and God's Messengers". Two of these four shortcuts are taken.Walking in Yuqing Palace is the "Emperor's Teacher"; under the family of King Jin, it is called "Wang Zuo"; the country where the "foreign devils" are sent as envoys is "Ghost Envoy";If one of the four identities has one of these, one can be proud of oneself, and besides, Li Shan is not only "Wang Zuo", but also an errand of Shenjiying! The doctor of Fengchenyuan and the doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the same doctor, but just like the governor of Jiangsu and the governor of Guizhou, the prosperity and decline are very different.There is no fixed number of ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and most of them have their own positions, which are often not much different from holding a false title. Most of the real power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in the hands of Tang Langzhong. Minister of the Interior of the High Commissioner.So this transfer is really a success in Lishan, of course, I am very happy. And when Zhou Xuanying was congratulating guests, there were two people he couldn't forget, one was Chun Wang and the other was Wen Chan.The King of Alcohol is next in line, and Wen Zhen's frustration must be expressed immediately. So he made an excuse to plead guilty, slipped out through the back door, and drove to Wenzhen's place in a car. The post was handed in, and the servant came out to block the drive, saying that the master was sick and could not see him. "Let me take a look!" Li Shan couldn't help but rush into the room, shouting as he walked, "Second Brother Wen, Second Brother Wen!" After all, they are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Li Shan is very interesting on weekdays. Wen Li couldn't refuse firmly, let alone avoid it, so he had to welcome him out, and said with a forced smile: "Why do you have the time to come and see me now?" "I'm here to apologize to my second brother!" He said with a deep bow. Wen Li was indeed full of anger. He didn't dare to be angry with Empress Dowager Cixi, nor did he dare to be angry with Li Lianying. He just wanted to vent his anger on Li Shan.Unexpectedly, he came unexpectedly and messed up his formation first, and accepting this gift from him at this moment is really the so-called "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face", this annoyance seems to be only stuffed in the stomach. "Cough!" He sighed, "Why am I annoyed? I only blame my fleeting years for not being as good as you." "Second brother and I still share each other? It's not cheap, I will look at this seat for second brother first. When the boss calms down and thinks of the benefits of second brother, at that time the property will return to the original owner. I will use it again If you have first-level qualifications, you'll be the second brother!" Wen Zhen laughed, "Yufu, you're really good at it!" He said, "Even if it's a lie, I can't help but believe it." As soon as we started talking, the master's hostility not only disappeared, but also led Lishan as a confidant, extended it into the study, and spoke to his heart.Wen Li believed that Li Shan would not be enough friends to dig out his roots, but he felt very sorry for Li Lianying, thinking that even if he wanted to help Li Shan, he would not use such means. Of course, this was because he was sure Li Shan would not betray his friends. Go tell Li Lianying, and then you dare to speak out. Naturally, Li Shan could only comfort him, saying that Li Lianying must also have an apology in his heart, and he would try to make up for it in the future.Then he talked to Wen Tong as an important person.This is a very clever move, not only to appease Wen Zhen and his group, but also for the group who received Wen Zhen for their own use. In Wenzhen, he couldn't ask for it, and he unreservedly handed over his relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Li Shan promised to reuse it as much as possible, but left a tail in his words. If someone handed over Li Lianying, it would be a different matter.These are words prepared to be evasive, but to be honest, Wen Li can be forgiven.
