Chapter 387 Retaliation, Orioles
Cui Dunli was born in the Boling Cui family, and the Boling Cui family can be regarded as the top family of today.
He is very interested in diplomacy, has traveled to various countries many times, and is well versed in the situation of various countries.
He has seen many scenes, but today he was still shocked.
According to his arrangement, Yu Kun will firmly refute Li Ji's views, and then create distrust of the Ministry of War for senior officials of the Shangshu.
In this way, he paid the meeting gift and established his prestige, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Yu Kun agreed with Li Ji's opinion as soon as he opened his mouth.
What's happening here?
Why did Yu Kun backtrack?
Cui Dunli immediately stabilized his emotions.
He glanced at Yu Kun.
Li Ji looked calm, but he clenched his right hand and slowly opened it.
Why did Yu Kun speak for the old man?
Could it be that it is suppressed first and then raised?
Or there are other plots.
Li Ji remained calm.
Cui Dunli's glance made Yu Kun's heart tremble.
But he knew he had no way out.
If he violates Cui Dunli's arrangement, he still has a way to survive, but if he violates Jia Pingan's arrangement, he will be ruined in retrospect.
This is an era of etiquette, righteousness and shame.
Of course, the royal family and the Guanlongmen clan who like to pick up ashes are not among them.
But the mainstream of public opinion is still propriety, righteousness and shame.
Property, righteousness, integrity and shame are the four dimensions of a country. If the four dimensions do not expand, the country will perish.
Once his scandal is exposed, it is inevitable that he will lose his official position, and then his family will not be able to hold their heads up, his children and grandchildren will be cast aside, and there will be no future in the future.
I shouldn't be swayed by desire!
Yu Kun sighed secretly, and continued: "The albums of various places are made every three years, but there are many mistakes. Honglu Temple's inquiries are perfunctory, and there are many falsehoods. In this way, the Ministry of War sent people to check everywhere. necessary."
He looked up, Cui Dunli's eyes were warm.
Hopeless!
Yu Kun took a deep breath, "I think what the British government said is true."
Snapped!
The hall was silent after Yu Kun finished speaking, but everyone seemed to have heard the sound of slapping.
Chu Suiliang glanced at Cui Dunli with disdain in his eyes.
Strictly speaking, Cui Dunli is not a member of their circle, but a cooperative relationship. But Cui Dunli was proud of his birth, and looked down on the Guanlongmen Clan who had the blood of the Hu people, so he had a rather high profile on weekdays.
At this moment Cui Dunli was slapped by the Ministry of War, Chu Suiliang actually felt a little gloating.
Changsun Wuji glanced at them and knew that there were some other changes.
Li Zhi was also quite surprised.
Yu Kun is Cui Dunli's person, but why does this person talk back?
Official cheating is the most despised, you cling to this today, cling to that tomorrow, no one will treat you as one of your own in the end.
That's why Yu Kun's anti-eloquence is so surprising.
Li Zhi frowned slightly, as if he was in a dilemma, he glanced at Li Ji, "Can you add something to the British?"
Emperor What does this mean?
Cui Dunli had various thoughts in his mind.
Is this to make Li Ji make up the knife?
Li Ji got up, glanced at Cui Dunli, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Baiqi has sent people to various countries to investigate the news, but one family's words are prone to errors after all. The Ministry of War independently sends people out to inspect and compare the information of the two sides. This is the most secure way."
He glanced at Cui Dunli again, "Cui Xianggong has traveled to many countries, do you have any objections to this?"
If Yu Kun hadn't betrayed, Cui Dunli could use his diplomatic attainments to refute Li Ji.
But now he can only shake his head dumbly.
say what?
Saying it is also bringing shame on oneself.
Li Ji smiled, and just when everyone thought he would sit down, Li Ji said calmly: "All of you here have been officials for decades and have gone through many places. Today's prefectures and counties, tomorrow's court ministries, go as soon as you leave. If Reluctant to give up, I still point fingers at my old job after I leave..."
His gentleness suddenly changed, his eyes were like a knife, and he stared at Cui Dunli sharply, "How many ministers have served in the Ministry of War? If everyone is dictating the affairs of the Ministry of War after leaving office, how can the Ministry of War remain in chaos? "
It may seem like a derogatory term, but for this kind of official department, it should be a commendatory term.
If you transfer to another place, you still have to dictate to the original unit, or even intervene in the affairs of the original unit, which will only cause confusion.
So it is the most honorable farewell for people to leave for tea.
Cui Dunli clenched his fists, slowly got up and came out, bowed and said, "I'm guilty."
Everyone thought that Li Ji would choose to calm down as usual.
When he showed his majesty, Changsun Wuji was also shocked.
Is Li Ji angry?
Gao Jifu looked at Li Ji with satisfaction, and said, "What the British Duke said is absolutely true."
This is the only support.
But it looks extraordinarily sonorous and powerful!
Li Zhi took a look at his eldest grandson Wuji, "The Duke of England is a famous general, and he is in charge of the Minister of Ministers and works hard. I am very relieved..."
He glanced at Changsun Wuji again.
Changsun Wuji raised his eyes slightly, avoiding his gaze.
Li Zhi said: "British company plus Sikong."
Changsun Wuji's hand moved slightly.
Three Dukes: Taiwei, Situ, Sikong.
San Gong did not have a specific role in Datang, but an honorary title. But look at Sangong's candidates...
Elder Sun Wuji himself was a Taiwei, Fang Xuanling was a Situ when he was there...the clan Li Yuanjing was a Situ, and Wu Wang Li Ke was a Situ.
Even if you are the prime minister, if you don’t have the honorary title of Sangong, you can’t be considered top.
This is the sign of an extremely human minister!
Li Ji added the honorary title of Sikong, and his momentum suddenly rose.
Taiwei vs. Sikong!
Li Zhi stood up, "It's over now... Huh!"
He snorted, thought for a while as if he had forgotten something, and then asked a little uncomfortable: "Does Cui Qing want to be the prime minister, or continue to stay in the Ministry of War?"
Cui Dunli's heart tightened, knowing that this was a reproach from the emperor. The emperor used such cryptic words to hint at him: I am very upset that you are digging pits for Li Ji in the Ministry of War while you are pointing fingers at the court.
Cui Dunli bowed, "I'm... guilty."
Li Zhi said indifferently: "It is not appropriate not to be punished if there is a fault. If so, Cui Qing will be fined for half a year."
The Boling Cui family is not short of this money, but this is a blame.
Go out separately later.
Cui Dunli glanced at Yu Kun, then fell silent.
Yu Kun just wants to go back and squat. As for being transferred to a local government...Boling Cui really wants to mess with him, and it is more likely to be unlucky if he goes to a local place.
He approached Li Ji without hesitation.
In officialdom, cheating is often just for self-protection.
Li Ji was wondering how this happened, and he didn't speak when he saw him approaching.
But since Yu Kun wanted to cheat, he naturally wanted to show off his figure...
"The lower official made a mistake and was caught by Uncle Wuyang and Lingsun..."
The corners of Li Ji's mouth curled up slightly.
It turns out that these boys are busy for the old man!
He hummed an inexplicable song, and his steps became much lighter.
Staff member Wailang Chen Fei returned to the duty room, and someone came in.
The person who came was Li Ji's little official.
"The British public said, but Yu Kun's details will not be revealed for the time being."
Chen Fei smiled and said: "I almost said it in the court today, so that's fine."
People come and go.
Chen Fei said quietly: "Everyone thinks that the British Lord is forbearing, but if he makes a move..."
…
"The British government added Sikong!"
Ming Jing entered the duty room out of breath, and brought the news to Jia Pingan.
"You are an extremely human minister."
Cheng Da said enviously: "If I become Sikong one day, it will be worth it if I die on that day."
These words are similar to Meng Liang's saying that if he can marry the white lotus in his heart, he is willing to die in the bridal chamber.
Changsun Wuji is a Taiwei, who overshadows the sky with one hand in the court, but Li Zhi immediately pushes out Sikong Li Ji, who is playing chess.
Old Li has become a **** this time, I wonder if he will be unhappy.
But it is too late to regret.
Jia Ping'an was about to run away.
And Changsun Wuji just ended his first anger recently.
Chu Suiliang was ashamed.
Wang Qi knelt on the side and shivered.
Changsun Wuji sat there, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, calmly as if the roar just now did not come from him.
"Cui Dunli's plan for this matter is to make the old man not embarrass him. If necessary, he can help and get Li Ji out of the way. The plan of this matter... let the official secretary come forward to refute, peeling off Li Ji's face, and then the old man is here. If you are ready to go back, if you say less than four of the six films, there will be a response. But Yu Kun suddenly retorted, and everything became a joke!"
His eyes swept over Wang Qi.
…
Yu Kun felt that he escaped a catastrophe.
But many people know that he bit Cui Dunli back. It's nothing more than cheating in the officialdom, but it's embarrassing to actually give the original lover a knife.
This is the social death of Datang.
But compared to his ruin, he feels lucky.
It's just that being despised by everyone makes him a little unhappy.
When he arrived in Xiumu, he took his family on a small outing.
Out of Chang'an City, head towards Zhongnan Mountain, and enjoy the scenery along the road. As for going to Zhongnan Mountain...that's impossible, it's too far away, unless it's a long vacation, I can't go there.
It was heard that the emperor wanted to go to Zhongnan Mountain to rest for a while, but was immediately advised by Li Mo, the censor, that it was too dangerous to stay away from Chang'an because he was the body of the emperor.
There was Wei Zheng in the time of the first emperor, but who didn't know that Wei Zheng was just a showman, why did he accept advice like a stream, why did he smash the monument after Wei Zheng went?
In order to win the title of Mingjun, the first emperor gave Wei Zheng the unlimited right to fire and allowed him to impeach him.
But clay figurines also have earthy nature, Wei Zheng became more and more complacent, and his words and deeds became more and more out of control.
In the end, the first emperor became a Ming emperor, and Wei Zheng gained a good reputation, which is a win-win situation. But in the end, the first emperor smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone to vent his anger.
"It can be seen that this person is not perfect!"
Yu Kun was laughing at himself.
More than ten riders came slowly, then suddenly started to accelerate, and drew out their short knives.
Yu Kun raised his head, his color suddenly changed, "Turn around!"
His roar startled the carriage driver behind him, and asked, "Ah Lang..."
"Turn around!"
Yu Kun pulled out a short knife and roared, "Run!"
The dozen or so riders were accelerating.
Yu Kun knew that he had misjudged Cui Dunli.
After he betrayed Cui Dunli, he was still staying in the Ministry of War. Whenever Cui Dunli thought of him, he would be shocked, and his anger would surge up.
And the person who betrayed Bolingchoi...
No!
Even if Cui Dunli sent someone to kill him, he would not choose to be on the official road!
He doesn't have that much guts!
Bo Lingcui must consider his reputation, and will not do anything to intercept and kill a family of officials from the DPRK and China in broad daylight.
"who is it?"
Yu Kun turned his horse around and was about to hit the horse, when the coachman's panicked voice came, "Ah Lang, there is someone in front!"
Ahead, more than a dozen riders are speeding up on horseback.
The horse's hoof hit the ground, Yu Kun's face was pale, he looked at the side, what if he escaped from there?
But if so, he must abandon his family.
"Aye!"
The thirteen-year-old daughter opened the curtain and asked in panic, "Who is it?"
Behind her, Yu Kun's wife said in panic: "Husband, report to the official!"
This stupid woman, here in the wilderness, where can she report to the police?
Yu Kun looked at the two women with ever-changing expressions, and finally shouted: "Take them to the side!"
He rode his horse and rushed straight over.
These people wanted to kill him, so they would naturally chase after him.
"Aye!"
The cries of his daughter broke Yu Kun's heart, and made him only regret that he shouldn't have stayed in the capital.
Phew!
There was the sound of a beeping dysprosium.
Suddenly there is an extra ride on the hill on the left.
The man pointed in front of him, and dozens of plainclothes men with knives poured out from behind the hill.
Li Ji and Liang Jianfang came out last.
"Xiao Jia and your grandson did a good job, but they forgot to follow up." Liang Jianfang said triumphantly: "How can those people be reconciled after being frustrated? They don't know how to send someone to watch Yu Kun. If Yu Kun is killed , without a morale drop."
"They dare not kill Yu Kun!"
Li Ji stroked his beard, "At most, he pretended to be a robber, killed the coachman, and then broke Yu Kun's hands or legs. If Yu Kun was smart, he would have to ask for it quickly. This is deterrence."
The thieves from both sides turned and rushed to this side without hesitation.
Both sides are approaching.
Suddenly a rider came forward, and then changed formation.
This is the arrow array for charging!
Some of the thieves knew the goods and shouted: "This is a fierce soldier in the army, withdraw! Withdraw!"
Some people do not believe in evil, but still rush to kill.
When Li Ji and Liang Jianfang rode out, all morale was lost.
The current No. 1 general of the Tang Dynasty and General Zuo Wuwei came in person, even if they were the only two, they would not dare to face it directly.
"It's the British Duke! Withdraw!"
Immediately followed by hunting.
Liang Jianfang was a little depressed, "Why did they mention you, old man?"
Li Ji smiled, "British public is easy to address, but you are in trouble, General Liang? Or Liang Jianfang, both are troublesome."
"Who do the British public think did it?" Liang Jianfang felt itchy as he pressed the handle of the knife.
"It's nothing more than Changsun Wuji's group." Li Ji said indifferently: "They want to make an example of others, and they want people to know...it will be bad luck for anyone who favors the old man."
"Huh!" Liang Jianfang suddenly said in surprise, "Look at the other side."
Li Ji looked up, and saw dozens of cavalry coming over.
"Who is it?" Li Ji squinted slightly, but couldn't see clearly.
Liang Jianfang's eyesight is good, he slightly raised his head to observe, "It's Baiqi."
Li Ji: "..."
The two smiled at each other.
Jia Ping'an had already made preparations, laid a trap, and waited for those people to make a move.
But Baiqi came out late.
Liang Jianfang was a little puzzled, "Xiao Jia's timing is too late. If we don't move, Yu Kun's legs may not be able to keep."
Li Ji said lightly: "Perhaps he wants Yu Kun to break his leg at all."
"Why?" Liang Jianfang was puzzled.
"Think for yourself." Li Ji rode his horse over, and on the opposite side, Jia Pingan also rode his horse over, looking at him with a pleasant smile.
"I have seen the British Duke and the General."
Liang Jianfang asked, "Why did you come out late?"
Of course I want Yu Kun, a scumbag, to break his leg!
Jia Ping'an laughed and said, "Before I was in a hurry to urinate, I got off the horse, and I didn't find out what happened here until I was done."
Liang Jianfang was relieved, "I see."
Old Liang is so easy to deceive!
Jia Pingan was secretly happy.
Li Ji said indifferently: "I can't finish it when I'm old, but he's only in his teens..."
Liang Jianfang blushed and said, "This old man sprinkles cleanly."
Frequent urination, urgency and incontinence, nocturnal frequent urination...
Jia Ping'an silently recited these symptoms, and hurried out of the way.
If you don't leave Lao Liang, you will become angry from embarrassment.
"Wait." Liang Jianfang stopped him, "Who do you think did this?"
"those people."
Jia Pingan rode his horse and ran away.
Young people are full of energy, which makes people enviable.
Liang Jianfang suddenly said with a sullen face: "Mr. Ying, Xiao Jia has ruined several important events for them. This old man is worried that those people will deal with him cruelly."
Li Ji nodded, remembering Changsun Wuji's cruelty, "If Changsun Wuji really wants to get rid of Xiao Jia, the method will make his scalp tingle. But at present, he doesn't want to turn against His Majesty."
Baiqi is the emperor's confidant, if the leader of Baiqi is killed, it is a slap in the face of the emperor.
That's why Changsun Wuji didn't care much about Jia Ping's jumping up and down.
"What are you worried about?" Li Ji looked at him, "I'm waiting!"
Liang Jianfang smiled and said, "Yes! I'm waiting!"
…
Jia Pingan chased and killed those thieves all the way, and it was past noon when he returned to the city.
As soon as he arrived at Daodefang, he saw Li Yuanying.
"How is sir?"
Li Yuanying flicked her long hair freely and freely.
"It's okay." After returning to Beijing, Jia Pingan hasn't taught these scumbag students yet. It's not that there is nothing to teach, but that he is 'busy' and lazy.
"The weather is nice today!"
Li Yuanying was sweating all over his forehead, but he was pretending to be unrestrained.
Jia Ping'an knew that this guy had something to do, but he didn't ask.
All the way in, the villagers bowed their hands when they saw Jia Ping'an.
"In ancient times, there were sages who lived in remote places and the people were ignorant. The sages read poems and books every day to enlighten them, and everyone in the same town was polite. This is a great sage."
Facing such flattery, Jia Pingan remained indifferent.
Mr. is really determined!
Li Yuanying said with a bitter face: "Sir, I feel that the so-called imperial accountant is not stable."
"Why, someone is arguing with you?"
"Yes!" Li Yuanying said with a wry smile, "I just want to find a peaceful life, but how can I go on like this? Please teach me, sir."
"Do business."
Jia Pingan dismissed the suggestion casually, and waved at Ah Fu who was turning around ahead.
dad!
Ah Fu kept coming.
Li Yuanying's body shook, "Yes, the royal family...Your Majesty is also short of money! If you can do business and make some money, then the king's position will be as stable as Mount Tai. Wonderful! Wonderful!"
He felt that this was his best choice, and he couldn't help feeling deeply grateful to Mr. Ai Wuji Wu also loved Ah Fu a lot, so he stretched out his hand, "What an iron-eating beast, come, this king loves you."
Ah Fu approached and waved his claws.
"Get out of the way!"
Jia Pingan yelled, but Li Yuanying was late, and even if Ah Fu took some, he was still caught.
Chila!
The gorgeous clothes were torn apart from the waist by the sharp claws, and then the wind blew by, splitting them to the two sides.
Li Yuanying bowed his head, "..."
A woman in front covered her eyes and shouted, "Shameless!"
Jia Pingan hurried away with Ah Fu, but later the mud clods came densely, and Li Yuanying fled with his head in his arms.
…
Good night.
