Chapter 150 Shot while lying down
Shusun Li was indeed an old acquaintance with Li Jinong. When the Li family was not in decline, Shusunli was not an official at that time. He and Li Jinong had a close relationship. Naturally, there would be contrasts between them. Comparisons would cause harm, and hurts would lead to resentment.
The Li family was wealthy and generous, while Shusunli was shy but had a strong vanity. This contrast greatly frustrated his vanity. Later, with the help of Shusun Tong, he was recommended to serve as an official in the court.
job.
At this time, he had the capital to show off with Li Jinong, but the Li family was in decline and Li Jinong could no longer be found.
I recently learned that Li Jinong returned to Chang'an Township and relied on his nephew's protection to show off his power. He felt very unhappy. When he was looking for an opportunity to talk about the past with Li Jinong, he received an edict, which made him very proud.
That day, he came to Chang'an Township with an order. He looked so arrogant, not to mention how arrogant he was, and wanted to talk to Li Jinong about the past.
As for preaching to Li Zhao, haha! He is not stupid, what is he, and what is Li Zhao? Shusun Tong is stupid, he is not stupid, what he wants is to show off his son in front of Li Jinong, and let Li Jinong know that in
In terms of teaching his son, he is not as good as him. Let Li Jinong also try the feeling of frustrated vanity.
"Brother Li, you are fine!"
"Congratulations, congratulations to my uncle and grandson for becoming a senior official."
"That's a senior official there. He's highly praised."
The two exchanged pleasantries and seemed to have a very good relationship.
While we were chatting, Shusun Tong suddenly changed the subject, and his words immediately changed.
"I heard that no one has taken the imperial examination in Chang'an Township. Is this true? It's a pity that there are no talented people in such a big place."
Li Jinong's face darkened, and he secretly thought that this animal still had no change in its previous urinary behavior. Naturally, he understood the meaning of the words, but he did not give in. "Who said that? I, Xiao He from Chang'an Township, signed up."
"Xiao He? Yes, yes, yes, he seems to have signed up, but I heard that he is reading miscellaneous books. Is it useful? What is the difference between this and not signing up?"
"Brother Li! You are so brave. Aren't you afraid that he won't even have a chance to be shortlisted and will embarrass you?"
"I think you'd better cancel your registration as soon as possible."
Shusunli responded teasingly, and Li Jinong's face turned red when he heard this, and his arms were veined with anger.
"My son, uncle Sunfu, is different. Don't you know? He is a popular candidate for this imperial examination. Your Majesty already knows about him. If nothing else happens, my son will be the first on the list."
The words became more and more unpleasant to listen to. They were clearly showing off his son and thereby belittling Chang'an Township. No, they were more looking down on him, Li Jinong.
This was a result of a run, but Li Jinong was unable to refute it.
Indeed, if this continues, signing up for Xiao He will be equivalent to not signing up.
"see a visitor out!"
Li Jinong didn't want to pay attention to this animal anymore. This animal just came to see his joke. He gave the order to expel the guests without letting him in, and he did so neatly.
Shusunli didn't care, nor did he say that this was the emperor's will. He just smiled strangely and left.
It can be said that he came in a hurry and left in a hurry, but his goal was achieved.
Uncle Sunli came to Chang'an Township just for a quick glance. At the same time, he visited the Dongjiao Paper Shop.
As usual, there was a constant flow of people, but today, the flow of people did not decrease, but they all gathered in one place to watch the excitement, that is, in front of the paper shop and bookstall, and there was a lot of discussion.
On the ground, there were dozens of bamboo scrolls, cloth and silk classics piled there, and a raging fire was burning.
I don’t know who caused the farce and burned the classics here, causing a crowd of onlookers.
Most of the onlookers were students. They pointed at the burned classics and cursed, pointing directly at the Dongjiao Bookstall because it was at the door of the bookstall.
You must know that classics are sacred and inviolable in the minds of students, but burning them in front of everyone is not only an insult to the classics, but also an insult to the students.
"It must be the bookstall. Everyone, you must not let Xiao He and others go and destroy the bookstall."
"Yes, isn't the purpose of destroying and burning the classics obvious enough? It's just to benefit from the other three books, how shameless!"
"Yes, destroy it."
Suddenly, the students' emotions were stirred up, and they all rushed to the bookstall in anger.
It doesn't take a while.
The bookstall in the eastern suburbs came under an unprecedented attack. The entire store was almost destroyed and all the books inside were torn to pieces. Xiao He had no choice but to flee back to Chang'an Township in a hurry and report the situation here.
In Zhangtai Palace, Feng Quji met with the emperor as usual.
When the imperial examination came, he walked closely to the palace. It was of course the emperor's order. The imperial examination was related to the national economy, and the emperor had to control the overall situation. The source of the information came from Feng Quji.
After Feng Quji reported the imperial examination situation, he mentioned one thing.
"Your Majesty, I have something you don't know whether to say or not?" Feng Quji said very vaguely.
Ying Zheng was in a good mood today and signaled to Feng Quji, "Let's talk! There is no need to worry between the monarch and his ministers."
"No!" Feng Quji paused and said, "Yesterday I heard gossip from people in the Shaofu, and it seemed that it was aimed at General Li."
"It's Li Zhao again. Did he also offend Mr. Han?" Ying Zheng was worried about Li Zhao's affairs.
"Not really, it's just some gossip."
"Oh! Tell me!"
"The gossip was spread by Gao Qiu. He said that his son bought miscellaneous books from Li Zhao's bookstall."
Yes, since his son did not study law or Confucianism, but read miscellaneous books all day long, Gao Qiu was depressed and tried to persuade him to no avail, so he went to investigate and found that the two books were from Xiao He's bookstall, and found out that Xiao He was from Chang'an Township, so he
By blaming the two books on Li Zhao, it is natural to blame Li Zhao for his arrogance.
"But he only reads miscellaneous books all day long, and does not follow the principles of hundreds of schools of thought. You must know that the imperial examination is coming soon, and his son has also applied for the imperial examination. If he reads miscellaneous books at this time, he can naturally think of the consequences."
"So, he was full of resentment and complained all day long when he was on duty. Everyone in the Shaofu Palace knew about it."
Feng Quji said slowly.
"Hey, this Li Zhao really doesn't make people worry. He knows that the imperial examination is coming, but he still sells miscellaneous books! Isn't this harmful to people? It is understandable that Gao Qiu complains like this."
Ying Zheng felt a little resentful for Gao Qiu.
"He is real. I asked him to engage in business because I had my own intentions. If he doesn't engage in business well, he will always cause trouble. How can I be his backer?"
He was a little strange, wondering why he listened to Li Zhao's words and became his backer? Isn't this letting the fox fake the power of the tiger? It's fine now, it's only been a few days, and he has been hearing about his bad qualities one after another. How should he deal with the aftermath?
?
"Since it's gossip, I don't need to pay attention to it." Huang still stood on Li Zhao's side.
Feng Quji knew the emperor's thoughts, so naturally he didn't mention it again.
"By the way, Uncle Sun Rico has returned from Chang'an Township. Has the student's mood calmed down?"
Ying Zheng suddenly remembered this.
This put Feng Quji in a difficult situation. He had been worried about this matter for the past two days, but he did not dare to mention it to the emperor. Now when the emperor asked him how to answer, should he just tell him directly?
"What? You dare to hide something in front of me?" Ying Zheng was slightly angry and shouted softly.
