Chapter 299 Accidental Retribution?(1/2)
~~~~~~~
It was already noon, and as the news about Li Yuanqing piling up the capital with Tatar heads became more and more widespread, there was a crowd of people outside Dongzhimen, which was even busier than during the Chinese New Year.
Since the tragedy of Sarhu in the last year of Wanli.
Many people in the capital have heard of the cruelty of the Tatars. They slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Han people. They were ruthless and cruel. They seized most of the Ming Dynasty land in Liao and used the people of the Ming Dynasty as slaves. They were worse than pigs and dogs.
But all this was described in the mouths of others, but they had never seen the Tatars.
At this time, when they heard that the world-famous Li Yuanqing had arrived in Beijing, he actually built a crowd of spectators outside Dongzhimen. How could they let go of this excitement?
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
Even old ladies in their seventies or eighties, with the support of their families, went outside Dongzhimen to see this unprecedented excitement.
Li Yuanqing did not expect that the emotions of the people in the capital would be so high. In order to prevent accidents, he immediately ordered all his soldiers to go out and built a human wall around the capital to prevent the people from coming into close contact with the dead Tatar heads.
Although these heads have undergone antiseptic treatment, the weather is already very hot at this time. Under the scorching sun, they will soon attract mosquitoes and flies and cause decay. If an epidemic occurs and spreads, this is Li Yuanqing.
sinned.
Fortunately, Li Yuanqing's reputation was so great that although the people were crowded, they did not dare to go too far, and most of them watched from the outside in an orderly manner.
It's just that occasionally there are some green-skinned bastards who intersperse among the crowd and take advantage of the women's families.
Li Yuanqing soon discovered what these people were doing, and immediately ordered Niu Gensheng to lead a patrol. If he was caught, he would show no mercy, with 50 military sticks at his service.
Soon, these green-skinned bastards no longer dared to mess around. Although the order of the crowd was slightly chaotic, it was still within a controllable range and there was nothing abnormal.
…………
At this time, in a well-known restaurant near Dashilan, the capital, Li Qi, a doctor in the Ministry of War's Military Selections and Cleaning Division, was drinking and having fun with several colleagues.
The doctor is of the fifth rank.
The chief doctor of the Wu Xuan Qing Li Division, his position is second only to the right servant. Although his rank is not high, he has great power. Especially for the generals of Jiubian to report their merits, he is the first hurdle they have to overcome.
Therefore, Li Qi is only in his mid-thirties this year, but he is already wealthy and a leader among his colleagues.
He has a serious academic background. Although he is not in the top three, he is within the fifteenth place, and he has the hope of joining the cabinet.
In addition, he is handsome and handsome, and his family belongs to a prominent family in Nanjing. His wife is the youngest daughter of Yang Lian, a powerful figure.
At this time, although Yang Lian lost power and suffered misfortunes, it was precisely because of Yang Lian's loss that he stood out and became a new generation leader in Donglin.
Li Qi was indeed in high spirits these days.
In particular, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong won a great victory in Fuzhou. He Heli had already been escorted to the capital. His name appeared on the emperor's desk several times along with He Heli. It was impossible not to be jealous of such a trend.
ah.
However, although Li Qi was in the limelight, he was still on duty at this time. Even if he pretended to be sick, he did not dare to make too much of it and went to a brothel to drink and have fun in broad daylight.
But this restaurant is very close to Fireworks and Willow Alley, so it would be no problem to find a few upright officials of the same rank to come and sing.
At this time, accompanied by a beautiful little girl from Wuyu Pavilion singing the pipa solo, Li Qi was in an extremely happy mood.
He picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and glanced at everyone condescendingly, "Humph! This Chen Zhong is really a vulgar and reckless man. I gave him face, but he actually dared to disobey me in public. It's really a toast and no penalty."
Wine! But I don’t know if this Li Yuanqing can be a human being."
Next to him, a seventh-rank official from Dali Temple hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Li, with your reputation at this time, how can Li Yuanqing not give you face? The lower official has heard that Li Yuanqing is extremely sensible. You should
There are inevitable benefits.”
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Even if Li Yuanqing is a tiger, he will have to lie down obediently when Brother Li is around in our capital."
"That's right, that's right! Just a vulgar martial artist who wants to be arrogant after winning a few battles? Don't you know that the country of the Ming Dynasty is still the world of us scholars!"
"..."
After everyone complimented him, Li Qi felt more and more comfortable.
After a few glasses of wine, he was already feeling a bit drunk and started to feel a little drunk.
He could even imagine Li Yuanqing kneeling in front of him with generous gifts, begging him to repay the merits of these mud-legged people.
But when he looked up and saw this pretty little girl playing and singing, Li Qi felt itchy in his heart.
Although his wife was Yang Lian's daughter and her appearance was unparalleled, this woman was too strict and orderly, making it impossible for Li Qi to enjoy the pleasure of a man.
In the past, with Yang Lian around, Li Qi didn't dare to act rashly.
But at this time, he was able to hold up the sky by himself, and was about to become a scholar leader. In addition, Yang Lian had already left Hexi, and the desires in his heart continued to expand.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Everyone, everyone, how well do you know this Wuyu Pavilion? I have heard of the name of Miss Wan'er a long time ago."
The seventh-rank official of Dali Temple hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss Wan'er has been admired by the lower officials for a long time. I heard that the second young master Zuo spent a lot of effort, but he was not as beautiful as his first relative. In my opinion, Wan'er
Only Brother Li has the qualification to enter the girl's boudoir!"
"That's so true! How can the second young master Zuo, who is ignorant and incompetent, be compared with Brother Li, who is knowledgeable and talented and has the world in mind? The guest of honor for Miss Wan'er is none other than Brother Li!"
"..."
Seeing the compliments around him getting louder and louder, Li Qi felt that every pore was extremely comfortable and couldn't help laughing loudly, "Everyone, everyone, it's not possible now. In the evening, I'll treat you tonight, let's fog up."
Yuge, see you or not!"
"Haha! Brother Li is so heroic! Then we will take advantage of Brother Li."
"No, no, no! How can this be a blessing? We are all witnesses. Witness that Brother Li will be Miss Wan'er's guest tonight!"
"Hahaha……"
But just as everyone in the private room was laughing wantonly, a servant hurriedly ran up from downstairs, pushed open the door of the private room, and said hurriedly: "Master, something bad is going to happen. Then
, then Li Yuanqing actually gathered in Beijing outside Dongzhimen. Now, everyone in the capital knows it. It is said that Madam Fengsheng is also very interested in this and is on her way to Dongzhimen."
"What?"
Li Qi couldn't help but turn pale with fright. He was so angry that he almost fell to the ground and cursed: "How dare you, Zhuzi? You are really bullying others too much! You are bullying others too much!"
Around him, all the colleagues who had been cheering and laughing just now became silent in an instant. No one dared to answer this question.
Although they claim to be members of the so-called Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party is at its peak at this time, and naturally everyone is happy to make a name for itself by following the large group of people.
But if we really want them to be pawns and spearheads, no one is a fool.
Who would have trouble with their own future?
Seeing that everyone around him was silent, Li Qi also knew that he had gotten away with this matter.
Li Yuanqing has no intention of bowing to him!
This clearly means wanting his life!
If Mrs. Fengsheng gets angry and the emperor knows about it, then...
Li Qi didn't care about the group of colleagues around him and shouted quickly: "Hurry, prepare the carriage quickly. I am going to Dongzhimen to test my merits!"
"Yes!" The servants around him didn't dare to neglect, so they hurriedly prepared the carriage.
Li Qi didn't even bother to say goodbye to his colleagues around him, and hurried downstairs.
Everyone in the private room looked at each other, and one person said hurriedly: "Shall we also go and have a look outside Dongzhimen?"
"Yes, yes! Without further ado, let's set off immediately!"
…………
At this time, there were more than a thousand imperial guards outside Dongzhimen, separating the flow of people and forming two areas.
Feng Sheng's Lady Hakka, accompanied by the eunuch Li Chaoqin, slowly walked in the corridor separated by the imperial guards.
Li Yuanqing laughed along with them and followed them closely.
Chen Zhongze is still a little behind.
Keshi smiled and said to Li Yuanqing: "General Li, in front of you is the Jingguan built with the heads of the Tatars?"
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "In reply to Madam Feng Sheng, the front is Jingguan. However, the weather is too hot now, and these heads have been left for almost two months. I'm afraid there will be some peculiar smell. Madam Feng Sheng had better stay away.
Watch a little to avoid hurting your body."
Mrs. Ke couldn't help but giggle, "General Li, I'm not as weak as you think. Your Majesty is a little tired today, otherwise, he would have come to see you in person today. If I don't look carefully, how can I talk to the Emperor when I get back?"
Where is the explanation?"
Mr. Ke said and glanced at Li Yuanqing with a smile.
Li Yuanqing thought to himself: "This woman is really a temptress! She is obviously teasing him!"
It's a pity that this is not the place after all, otherwise...
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs. Fengsheng is really a hero among women. I admire her for her humble position. Madam, please be careful where you step and follow me here."
At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind, "General Li, General Li. Wait for me, wait for me!"
Everyone turned around, and Ke Shi could not help but frown slightly. She was here, who would dare to barge in?
After a moment, everyone saw clearly that the person coming was actually King Xin Zhu Youjian.
To be continued...
