Chapter 403 You Traitor
Is it difficult for the third uncle to become an official?
It's really not difficult.
Li Kui fooled Zhou Yuan, a county magistrate, and he became a student.
The third uncle was lucky enough to fool the emperor when he was old. He was about to become an official. He could easily become a sixth or seventh rank official.
This is the gap! If Li Kui had fooled the emperor back then, he would have become a big celebrity in the court.
When Li Kui thought of this, he sighed: "This person! One life, two fortunes, and three Feng Shui, what he said is really accurate." As for noble sentiments such as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, people in Baizhang Village probably don't have them very well.
Li Kui then got rid of his third uncle, stood up and walked out of the yard. He saw Gao Qiu, Hao Sui, and Han Deqin surrounded the young emperor Zhao Xu on the steps in front of the screen wall, and thought to himself: Are these people too lawful? The emperor was standing outside the door waiting? He suddenly transferred the third uncle's official position to the fifth rank or above and below the third rank. After Li Kui bowed to the emperor, he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, why don't you enter my family?"
Zhao Xu was obviously in the play, so he made a low gesture to Li Kui and pressed his throat and said, "Li Qing, don't make a sound, so as not to disturb the old senior." Then the little emperor asked Li Kui with caution and courage: "You, won't tell me my identity, right?"
Li Kui shook his head and said, "I dare not do without His Majesty's permission!"
"Good!" Zhao Xu expressed his satisfaction. He didn't want to make the third uncle speak timidly because of his identity as emperor. Speaking of which, he grew up so old that no one has ever spoken to him as rudely as his third uncle. But the problem is that the third uncle is rudely or not, but what he said makes sense and interesting.
Zhao Xu knew that once his identity as an emperor was leaked, this kind of friendly conversation would break down.
Before, Li Kui really didn't believe that the emperor could be fascinated by his third uncle, but now, in one sentence, he understood that the emperor had been deeply poisoned. He originally thought that Gao Qiu said that the emperor wanted to take his third uncle as his teacher, but this was just a deliberate way to scare him. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was really possible.
Of course, the process of becoming a disciple must have twists and turns. The official position of the imperial teacher is an honorary official position - Taifu. The official position of the Taifu was appointed in the Song Dynasty, not as an insignificant person, and he only received a salary and was not responsible for his affairs. However, his status was a transcendent and he was a first-rate rank. No matter which dynasty or generation, the person who held this official position was a respected and important minister of the court, and he could only be an old minister.
Don’t look at the emperor’s Nine Five Priests, you can’t do whatever you want.
If an old country man who has no fame and no title is given a great event, wouldn’t this civil and military official in the court be a big deal?
Li Kui leaned his head and looked at the street outside the door. Han Deqin muttered from the side: "Don't look, the officials in front of the hall, the warrior in front of the gold spear, the silver spear, the 90% of the people walking on this street are ours. In addition, the houses on both sides of your house were also occupied by the people of the Imperial City. Li Zhimi, you are so lucky, you are protected by the people of the Imperial City every day."
Li Kui just felt that the pedestrians on the street seemed to be wrong. Why did the neighbors on weekdays disappear, and the people walking around the street turned into tall and mighty and strong men, with a strange look. Han Deqin explained, he felt relieved. After all, if something happened to the emperor in his house, he might have to take his family away.
It turned out that everything had been arranged, no wonder even Han Deqin looked fearless.
But the question is, is this a good thing? Especially the people from the Imperial City Department actually bought all the yards on the left and right of his house. The Imperial City Department is a spy agency in the Song Dynasty. No one would be willing to be neighbors with these guys who are full-time reporting. Li Kui scolded in his heart: "Did you guys invite you? Is there a great virtue missing? Who would be neighbors with the spies of the Imperial City Department? There is also a side of the left and right? Will Li Kui have a little thought in the capital and be found out by the emperor?"
As soon as he spoke, Zhao Xu tidied up his clothes, and happened to be golden crown, and walked into the yard: "Senior, I'm here again."
The third uncle hurriedly got up from the mat and said politely to Zhao Xu: "Sir, please give me a seat."
Zhao Xu felt something was wrong. Why did the third uncle who was free and easy on weekdays become much more restrained today? Could it be that Li Kui had already told his third uncle about my details, and then the old man seemed to have become a different person, completely different?
How could he know that Li Kui did not reveal the emperor's secret. He was just worried that his third uncle would not be able to hold on, so he drew a cake for his third uncle. After all, he would be very unhappy to be annoyed every day. But if the emperor wants to meet someone, who dares to stop him from seeing him? The third uncle has no enthusiasm and will naturally lose his temper. He can't do anything to the emperor, right?
So Li Kui had an idea and thought of a solution that was either a solution, just to let the third uncle know and curry favor with Zhao Xu, so that his dream of becoming an official would be realized.
The result was that the third uncle's enthusiasm had increased greatly. If it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to go to the door to greet Zhao Xu in person. His status has increased now, but some obstacles are still unbearable for him. For example, if he was short of his official position. If he really flattered himself, he could make him an official, with his third uncle's nature, he could sincerely burst out the enthusiasm of "love him to death", which made the other party feel like he was being slaved and served meticulously.
Third Master is kind to you, but I thought he was really good to you?
Disgusting thing, this is what Master San has liked your house.
But the third uncle didn't know that official positions may be the most in the hands of the emperor. He wanted as many as he wanted, even if he didn't have an official position, the emperor could create one in an instant.
But the third uncle didn't know! He felt that this was difficult and even hesitated whether to take out the coffin to operate it.
He accompanied him carefully and served the master in front of him carefully. This made the little emperor feel disappointed. The third uncle stopped curling his lips, no longer laughed at him with big teeth, and even stopped calling him "boy".
Speaking of which, the status of these two people has not changed, but they are in a bad mood. One is a young man who has a bad bones when he wants anything, and the other is an old and adulterer who cheats him.
They got together and always felt out of place.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu came with a question today. Today, the emperor was entangled by his husbands in the palace for a long time. So much so that he forgot to choose gifts in a hurry. Zhao Xu was a little surprised and opened his mouth and said, "Senior, we came in a hurry today. We didn't choose the right gifts. Please don't be surprised by them."
The third uncle was always in charge of being an official, so he would not care about these things. A smile appeared on his face and said to Zhao Xu: "If you can come, you can respect the old man. If you bring gifts, wouldn't you be dissatisfied?"
"Actually, today the boy came here to ask the old senior for advice."
Zhao Xu was a little embarrassed. The questions he asked for in the past were mostly big issues. For example, how to deal with discord between ministers and what should I do if my subjects have too much temper?
But today he really encountered a dilemma.
So, after Xiaochao, he rushed over, hoping to find a solution in front of his third uncle.
As for Li Kui and others, they were arranged near the screen wall. They could see Zhao Xu and his third uncle face-to-face conversations from afar, but were restricted from getting closer to prevent them from eavesdropping on their conversations.
Originally, Li Kui was not restricted by this. After all, this was his family, and Zhao Xu would not be too cautious about Li Kui. Their identity of brother-in-law was confirmed. But Han Deqin and others were not happy. Why can't we listen? You can come and listen? Pull Li Kui and sit together.
Li Kui listened innocently to Han Deqin complaining: "Li Zhimi, when will your third master leave? If he really doesn't leave in the capital, maybe I have to buy a house in this alley."
Lao Han has an ancestral home, and the high-gate house in the capital is near the imperial city. He doesn't even look down on the houses in the noble and luxurious residential area of Baokangmen, which is out of the inner city.
This guy clearly felt uncomfortable and wanted to argue with Li Kui.
Can Li Kui make him happy?
He deliberately changed the topic and asked Gao Qiu: "Why don't you follow His Majesty?"
Although they could all see the emperor, the distance was relatively far. As long as Zhao Xu didn't speak loudly, they couldn't hear a word clearly. Gao Qiu sighed and said, "It's not that we don't want it, but that Your Majesty doesn't let it go."
"Why?"
Li Kui was curious. Although Emperor Zhao Xu was not old, Empress Dowager Xuanren had passed away now. Even if the young emperor wanted to rebel, he would not have the opportunity. What's more, the emperor was always very careful about his life. How could he give up the master Han Deqin, who protected him?
Gao Qiu nodded and said to Hao Sui: "What else can it be? Let's have a traitor!"
When Hao Sui heard this, his face turned green and glared at Gao Qiu, "Gao Qiu, don't swear by others. I can tell you, I am Your Majesty's slave, how could you have a second heart? But you, I heard that you were a gangster on the street and had countless bandits. I also doubt that you have told the emperor's whereabouts?"
Although Hao Sui was so aggressive that he was at striking, even outsider Li Kui felt that the tone of this guy's speech made people feel guilty?
It turned out that not long after Zhao Xu left the palace, the husbands knew about it. As the leader of all officials, Zhang Dun naturally had to remind the emperor that he could not ignore his safety so much.
After hearing this, the emperor was furious.
But he was just furious. He knew that if he continued to investigate, it would be a mess. Someone around him informed his husbands. However, the mutual communication between the internal ministers and the external ministers was a rule that had been passed down for fifty or sixty years in the Song Dynasty. Zhang Dun did not want Zhao Xu to express his opinion. After all, it was very common for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to leave the palace privately.
Even Mr. Fan Zhongyan, such a decent gentleman, has eyeliners around Renzong.
Both the ministers and the emperor were too open-minded, and the result was that this seemingly unreasonable system was preserved.
But as the eunuch's inner minister who conveyed the message, it would be fine if he was not exposed. If he exposes it, he would be disliked in front of the emperor. Even if the emperor knew what he had done before, without the emperor's consent, it would always cause trouble in the emperor's heart.
Gao Qiu was not scared. He had long ignored Hao Sui, who was strong outside and had sex with the others. He sneered: "You think you were so elusive that you went out in the middle of the night and went to the husband's mansion. No one knew? I have seen you go to the neighborhood of Zhang Xiang and Li Xiang's mansion several times. Your house is not there, and you dare to say that you have not reported the news?"
Gao Qiu changed the subject and said, "Besides, who do I have to contact with? The gangsters on the streets and proletarian military households. If I tell your Majesty's whereabouts, wouldn't it be known to everyone in the city? On the contrary, my husbands may still be kept in the dark."
Gao Qiu directly reasoned that Hao Sui was a traitor, which made Hao Sui unable to argue.
The eunuch leader with a fair face, the old man in charge of the palace pointed at Gao Qiu and said tremblingly: "You, you... you... you are not at home for a good rest in the middle of the night, why are you wandering around your husband's mansion? What's your intention?"
"It's not me who is He Juxin. You have to know that Zhang Xiang's house was given by the emperor, and you also know that there is a special place outside the imperial city, close to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy." Gao Qiu deliberately kept it a secret.
"Where?" Hao Sui fell into the trap.
Gao Qiu showed pain and said, "Jiufang! This place is good, and it is welcomed and sent in the middle of the night. Can I go to watch the fun?" After that, he and Han Deqin both giggled, quite a thief.
"So what about Li Xiang's mansion?" Hao Sui hated Gao Qiu so much that his back teeth were chewing. He was a eunuch. He didn't know much about the happiness of a place like a sect. But it didn't prevent him from experiencing the loss of a miserable loss if he continued to get entangled with Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu said with a solemn expression: "When it comes to Li Xiang, he is much more miserable. He lives near Panlou Street. Do you know that place is also very lively in the middle of the night, right?" Well, one is the official school hall and the other is the Yanliu Street, the highest-end Beijing city. Of course it is impossible to go there in the middle of the night, but it is very capable of coming out in the middle of the night.
"You don't sleep in the middle of the night just because of such shameless hobbies?" Unlike Gao Qiu, Han Deqin, Li Kui, and Hao Sui, although he was a eunuch, he also had... his wife and a concubine.
The problem is that when he marryes a wife and takes concubines, he mostly follows the crowd. After all, the eunuchs in the Song Dynasty do this. Will it seem pitiful if others have ones but not their own? Officials are also very sensitive people and cannot stand this kind of neglect. Even if they marry a beautiful wife, they are of no use to eunuchs, and they can only see it. But in the Song Dynasty, eunuchs will also fall in love and have loyal love. Other eunuchs enjoy the beautiful life of gods and fairies. How pitiful would it be if he was alone?
Of course, the love of eunuchs is almost sacred. In Li Kui's view, incredible family members can often stir up a spark like Plato.
Therefore, Hao Sui felt that he was not at all in this regard, Gao Qiu and others had despicable despicable thoughts. Standing on the commanding heights of morality, he despised Gao Qiu's evil taste: "That thing is so interesting?"
Gao Qiu was stunned, then laughed and said, "Yes!"
I have to say that the general Han Deqin, who also learned bad things, followed him and said, "Yes!"
Hao Sui looked at Li Kui in grief and anger. The latter grinned and showed a white teeth, but opened his mouth, but Hao Sui wanted to strangle him to death: "Don't look at me, I'm about to get married, of course, my purpose of getting married is not much the same as that of Eunuch Hao."
Hao Sui, who was hit in all directions, turned his head and muttered, "Isn't it that big difference if there is more than two taels of meat?"
"Two taels?"
Gao Qiu looked at Hao Sui with contempt. Han Deqin said that he underestimated him. Li Kui didn't want to talk nonsense with the unsavvy Hao Sui at all.
Hao Sui's heart felt a pain like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. He thought he was wrong, so he had to whisper: "When I was a kid!"
