Qian Song

Chapter 492: Grandson of Emperor Daqian (please vote for me!)

...

Although they were thousands of miles apart, separated by hundreds of vassal states, and passed through most of the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, Li Cun and his party arrived at Jinling, Yingtianfu, Nanjing, the capital of the Daqian Dynasty, without any danger. city.

The reason why Li Cun's trip went so smoothly was not only because Li Cun, who had been living there for more than ten years, had an experienced escort, but also mainly because Li Cun, who had already handed over the power, had no interest in any of the parties, and now he has no interest in it. Few people would go to the trouble of Baal to assassinate Li Cun, an old man who lives in idle clouds and wild cranes.

Of course, those who want to seek revenge on Li Cun do not count.

However, Li Cun always cuts the grass and roots when doing things, so most of the people who want to seek revenge on Li Cun can't make much noise.

In addition, Li Cun has always been cautious about his own safety and does not give any enemy any space.

Therefore, although the journey back was very long, the special train Li Cun took successfully crossed the Yangtze River and approached the capital...

Upon learning that Li Cun was back, Li Biao sent the prime minister Chen Kangbo, the privy councilor Chen Tao, his eldest son Li Yunwen and others to lead the civil and military officials of the court to greet Li Cun's return at the Nanjing Railway Station.

Li Biao also specifically told Chen Kangbo, Chen Yu, Li Yunwen and others not to bring too many guards. His father had the world's most powerful army, the Tiger Army, by his side, so he did not need other guards.

As expected, it was not what Li Biao expected.

Officials from the Li Cunxing Palace who arrived at Daqian Station of Nanjing Railway Station first told Chen Kangbo, Chen Tuo, Li Yunwen and others that His Majesty did not need other guards, and asked Chen Kangbo, Chen Tuo, Li Yunwen and others to remove all the irrelevant entourage. After being evacuated, the security work here at Nanjing Railway Station was all taken over by the Huben Army soldiers. Even Li Cun's car did not need to be prepared by the imperial court.

Moreover, the officials of Li Cunxing Palace who were standing before the attack carefully inspected every car and carriage brought by the court, and conducted inspections on all the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty who came to greet Li Cun. In order to rearrange and arrange them, they were all under the control of the Huben Army.

Seeing this scene, Chen Kangbo, Chen Yu and others who knew Li Cun's cautious character naturally didn't say anything. However, a young official named "Wang Liang" next to Li Yunwen muttered dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty is too cautious, Holy Spirit." We have arrived in the capital, what else are you worried about?"

Wang Liang's voice was not loud. Normally, only Li Yunwen and a very few people around him could hear what he said.

But a young man who came to fight in front of him happened to be passing by, and he heard Wang Liang's complaint along the way.

Although the young man was dressed as a civil servant, he walked with an air of style, somewhat like a military commander.

Hearing Wang Liang's words, the young man didn't even hesitate and went straight to Wang Liang.

Before Li Yunwen and others could react, the young man grabbed Wang Liang, then opened his bow from left to right, and hit Wang Liang's two big mouths firmly, directly knocking Wang Liang unconscious.

After reacting for a while, Wang Liangcai grabbed the young man with all his teeth and claws, and cursed angrily: "Who are you? What grudge do you have against me? Why did you hit me?"

The young man kicked Wang Liang away with one kick, and then said loudly: "A certain person does not change his name, but does not change his surname. His surname is Xin, and his given name is Qiji. He is the right steward of the palace. I beat you because you are so presumptuous. The officialdom rises in time. , Clear out the middle land, shine the sun and the moon again, rebuild the rivers and mountains, restore the great righteousness, show the origin, clear the four seas and wastelands, and collect all the world. No one in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, can compare with it. How can you allow a small person like you to dare to criticize it? Not only do I want to beat you, but I also want to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Qiji pulled out the sword from his waist, and then wanted to kill Wang Liang.

Seeing this, Li Yunwen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Li Yunwen, I would like to ask Xin Chengwu not to be angry. Counselor Wang just said something indiscriminately. Chengwu hit and scolded him. How about leaving him alive?" ?”

It's no wonder Li Yunwen was so polite to Xin Qiji.

In fact, even though Li Yunwen was the grandson of the emperor, he did not dare to put too much pressure on the third-rank officials in front of the prime minister, let alone the officials under Li Cun.

Moreover, Wang Liang was indeed a coward in this matter. He even dared to question Li Cun's arrangements and even intended to provoke him. He deserved to be beaten and scolded like this.

After hearing that the emperor's grandson Li Yunwen was pleading for Wang Liang, Xin Qiji put down the sword that was ready to stab him, but he still said without being humble or condescending: "Since the emperor's grandson is here, if this person has any objections to the official affairs, then Please ask the emperor’s grandson to make a decision.”

"This……"

Xin Qiji kicked the ball to Li Yunwen, which made Li Yunwen suddenly embarrassed!

According to Li Yunwen's original intention, Wang Liang didn't actually say anything. He just took this opportunity to show his loyalty to him. Under normal circumstances, there was really no need to go online.

But what a coincidence, Wang Liang's words were heard by his grandpa Huang's people.

Since ancient times, there has been no trivial matter in the royal family.

What's more, this was the first thing his grandfather did when he came back after more than ten years.

Therefore, if this matter is not handled properly, the impact will be immeasurable.

But then again, although Wang Liang speaks carelessly, he is still Li Yunwen's person no matter what. He is also showing his loyalty to Li Yunwen by saying this. If an eighth-grade official under his grandfather makes a casual threat, he Li Yunwen If Wang Liang is dealt with, what will the other people who join him and Li Yunwen think?Will you feel like "the fox is sad when a rabbit dies, and an object hurts its own kind"?

Precisely because he had too much to think about, Li Yunwen couldn't help but hesitate!

At this moment, Chen Kangbo, who came after hearing the news, said bluntly: "Wang Liang has criticized the current emperor. His crime cannot be forgiven. He is dismissed on the spot and awaits His Majesty's handling."

Chen Tao, who was next to Chen Kangbo, heard this and said mercilessly: "In my opinion, there is no need to alarm His Majesty over such a trivial matter. He can just slap him fifty times, expel him from the imperial court, and never hire him again."

Chen Kangbo nodded: "Yes, His Majesty is newly returned and must have many things to do. I'm afraid he won't have time to deal with such trivial matters. It's better for you and me to handle it for you."

Having said this, Chen Kangbo immediately ordered: "Someone, drag this man down for execution."

As soon as Chen Kangbo said this, Wang Liang's face suddenly turned pale!

He never expected that just because he wanted to take the opportunity to express his loyalty to the current emperor grandson and future emperor Li Yunwen, he would be slapped fifty times in public and his face would be disgraced.

Forget it, who dares to complain about the decisions of the emperor who has not yet abdicated?

But is it too strict to never hire someone?

Nowadays, it is true that under the sky, there is nothing but the king's land; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers.The whole world belongs to the Daqian Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, if the Daqian Dynasty never hired Wang Liang, then Wang Liang would definitely have no chance of an official career in his life.

For Wang Liang, who was very thoughtful in his official career, this was like mourning his heir.

The key point is that the Daqian Dynasty has always advocated freedom of speech. Even if you speak directly to the emperor and criticize him in public, you will not be blamed by the emperor. How come it was his turn and he just made a casual comment and ended up in such a miserable end?

Wang Liang quickly went to see Li Yunwen with a look of help, hoping that Li Yunwen could help him.

Facing Wang Liang's request for help, Li Yunwen became even more hesitant.

This is not to say that Li Yunqi's view on this matter has changed. In fact, Li Yunqi still thinks that this is just Wang Liang's unscrupulous words. If Xin Qiji hadn't happened to hear it, he would have ignored Wang Liang at most. In other words, just a few words of verbal education to Wang Liang, and forget it.

Let's put it this way, in Li Yunwen's opinion, Wang Liang only said two sentences in total, and he didn't say anything big, let alone anything treasonous. Why did he hold on to Wang Liang so hard?

The reason why Li Yunwen became more hesitant now was entirely because Chen Kangbo and Chen Yu, the two most powerful prime ministers in the dynasty, one civil and one military, were also involved in this matter, and they also wanted to confront Wang Liang. He was dealt with severely and even wanted to kill Wang Liang.

However, the more this happens, the more Li Yunwen feels that he should give Wang a hand so that he can better win over the people who are with him, right?

Thinking of this, Li Yunwen was ready to open his mouth to plead for Wang Liang.

But just as Li Yunwen was about to open his mouth, two changes suddenly happened!

The first change was that Yang Yizhong, the commander of the front division of the capital, who was in charge of most of the troops in the capital, actually took action personally, grabbed Wang Liang by the neck, and then lifted Wang Liang out.

This surprised Li Yunwen!Don't say that Wang Liang's matter has not yet been finalized.

Okay, let's be honest, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. After all, Wang Liang is Li Yunwen's man. He hasn't even opened his mouth yet. Why did Yang Yizhong just take action?

Moreover, for this small matter, even if it needs to be done, Yang Yizhong, the powerful military attaché of the second rank, does not need to do it himself, right?

Also, to be honest, Li Yunwen felt a little unhappy at this moment. He felt that Yang Yizhong disrespected him too much. After all, he was also the grandson of the emperor, the eldest son of Li Biao, the crown prince who currently rules the Daqian Dynasty. , the person most likely to take over the Daqian Dynasty in the future, how dare Yang Yizhong deal with his people without even asking him a question?

After all, Li Yunwen was young and vigorous, and believed that his status was extraordinary, so he wanted to resist the pressure of two first-class prime ministers and a second-class military attache with real military power, and rescue Wang Liang, who had only made a small mistake. .

But at this moment, the second incident happened.

The second change was that someone pulled the corner of Li Yunwen's clothes without leaving any trace.

Li Yunwen looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that the person tugging at the corner of his clothes was Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi lost his father when he was young, and settled in Chong'an with his mother. He lived with his father's friend Liu Ziyu, an official in Xinjiang during the Qian Dynasty, and was educated by Mr. Hu Xian, Liu Mianzhi and Liu Zihui.

Liu Ziyu, who has now become a third-rank official, regards Zhu Xi as his own son and has been paving the way for Zhu Xi.

Under the auspices of Liu Ziyu, Zhu Xishi passed the Gongsheng examination in the Jianzhou Township Examination, and his teacher Liu Mianzhi then betrothed his daughter Liu Qingsi to Zhu Xi.

In March of the same year, Zhu Xi took the imperial examination in the capital, ranked fifth and No. 90 on the imperial examination list, and was granted the title of Jinshi by imperial edict.

Three years later, Zhu Xi entered the capital Quan examination again and passed the middle level, and was awarded the title of Zuo Di Gonglang and the chief registrar of Tong'an County in Quanzhou.

During his tenure, Zhu Xi managed county affairs with the county governance method of "upholding etiquette and righteousness, respecting customs, impeaching traitors, and caring for the people", resolved conflicts between Tong'an and Jinjiang counties, rectified county schools, and advocated the construction of "Jiaosi Hall". He advocated the construction of the "Jingshi Pavilion" in the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple, and thus came into Li Biao's sight.

After Li Biao got to know Zhu Xi, he felt that Zhu Xi had the potential to become a great Confucian, so he promoted Zhu Xi to Li Yunwen and became Li Yunwen's companion.

Li Yunwen was also impressed by Zhu Xi's knowledge and thoughts and followed Zhu Xi's advice.

At this moment, seeing that the person who stopped him was Zhu Xi, Li Yunwen opened his mouth and immediately closed it again.

in fact--

Until this moment, Li Yunwen didn't realize what his problem was. He kept his mouth shut simply because Zhu Xi stopped him, which meant that the matter was not that simple. Moreover, Zhu Xi stopped him. There was also an excuse not to save Wang Liang.

Without Li Yunwen to stop him, Yang Yizhong carried Wang Liang out of the team that welcomed Li Cun like a chicken.

Not only that, before Wang Liang could be carried far, Yang Yizhong, regardless of his identity, used his bow to slap Wang Liang fifty times in the mouth.

Who is Yang Yizhong? He is a fierce general who came out of the battlefield. His hands are as strong as [-] kilograms.

Before Yang Yizhong's fifty big mouths were finished, Wang Liang was almost like a dead man. He was breathing in but not breathing out. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have fallen to the ground.

In this regard, Yang Yizhong didn't act cruelly, otherwise Yang Yizhong would probably have killed Wang Liang with one slap.

Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by Yang Yizhong and Wang Liang, Zhu Xi said in a voice that only he and Li Yunwen could hear: "After all, this world still belongs to your Majesty."

Hearing these words said by Zhu Xi, Li Yunwen's body shook violently!

Li Yunwen finally realized where he had gone wrong.

Yes.

This thing is not big.

Even Chen Kangbo and Chen Tao thought this was a trivial matter as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.

But for such a trivial matter, let alone Chen Kangbo and Chen Tuo, they handled it extremely seriously. Even Yang Yizhong, the famous political non-stick cook, did not hesitate to take action himself.

What does this mean?

This shows that in the eyes of Chen Kangbo, Chen Tao and Yang Yizhong, this is not a trivial matter at all, or it can be said that they want to use this trivial matter to express their attitude.

What attitude?

This attitude is that they are loyal to his imperial grandfather.

To be more precise, they wanted to show that they had always been loyal to his imperial grandfather and had never changed even a little bit because his father, Crown Prince Li Biao of the Daqian Dynasty, had been in charge of the Daqian Dynasty for more than ten years. .

Li Yunwen looked at the Manchu civil and military ministers of the Daqian Dynasty who came with them to greet his imperial grandfather.

I saw these civil and military ministers, especially those who were a little older, all looking at Wang Liang with disgust. Some even wished that they were the ones slapping Wang Liang in the mouth now.

Undoubtedly, these civil and military ministers also loved his imperial grandfather.

These elderly ministers are the current humerus ministers of the Daqian Dynasty. All the power of the Daqian Dynasty is in their hands. As for the young civil and military officials, few have even reached the seventh rank.

Even among these young civil and military officials, most of them admired his great grandfather who conquered the whole world and became the master of the world. Some of them even worshiped his great grandfather blindly. Open your mouth and say, "Shut up, your majesty." He said that he was afraid that others would not know that they were followers of his grandpa Huang.

And those young officials who were a little more rational saw that their superiors were all hating Wang Liang, so they naturally followed suit and hated Wang Liang.

In this way, Wang Liang, the clown, suddenly seemed to have become a public enemy of the Daqian Dynasty.

As for his imperial grandfather who created countless legends, his power had already been established before he arrived.

"Hey~"

Li Yunwen knew that his grandpa Huang was very powerful, the most powerful in history. Countless people, including him, admired his grandpa Huang.

But after all, his imperial grandfather had ignored the affairs of the Daqian dynasty for more than ten years. During these more than ten years, his father had clearly been in charge of the affairs of the Daqian dynasty, including the vassal states of the Daqian dynasty.

However, why did all the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty collectively "rebel" before his grandfather arrived in the capital?

Is his grandpa Huang really so invincible?

At the same time, Li Yunwen also felt unworthy of his father.

His father had worked hard for the Daqian Dynasty for so many years. For more than ten years, he got up before dawn every day to work, and lit the lamp and boiled oil late at night without taking a rest.

Moreover, his father was not fond of women, and he only had more than a dozen concubines, two sons and one daughter.

It can be said that his father dedicated everything he had to the Daqian Dynasty.

In the end, all the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty turned out to support his grandfather, who had tens of thousands of concubines and nearly ten thousand children, and had gone out to play for more than ten years without returning home.

This is too unfair!

Li Yunwen suddenly felt a feeling of depression condensed in his chest...
