Daming prepares the emperor

Li Bin did not believe that Li Shanchang would be intimidated by Liu Ji.

The prime minister has followed His Majesty all the way, and has experienced all kinds of storms. How could he be so anxious because of a mere party dispute.

It must be that the value of his performance is not enough, so the prime minister is hinting at himself.

Thinking of this, Li Bin took out a bank note from his pocket, put it on the table beside him, and moved him with reason: "Prime Minister, I still have a thousand acres of land in Hangzhou, and I will use it when I get home." The hostess sent them here, and there are also a few beautiful dancers who are filial. I have followed you for so long, and I have no credit for it. No, I still have credit for my subordinates, let alone hard work. You just think of a way."

Li Shanchang sat down, picked up the silver ticket and looked at it: "Did you bring the test book?"

Li Bin is indeed Li Shanchang's confidant, and he handles many troublesome things for Li Shanchang. After getting along for so many years, people's hearts are strong. Even if Li Shanchang is sensible enough, he can't help but have some friendship with him.And just as Li Bin thought, Li Shanchang would not be intimidated by Liu Ji, and he felt a little annoyed to shrink back because of the general situation.

No matter in terms of interests or emotions, he should at least resist appropriately. After all, pretending to be sick is an expedient measure. Hope to retire in due time.The purpose of doing this in front of the court officials this time is to lay a foundation, otherwise it will appear abrupt in the future.

"Bring it with you." There is no shortage of geniuses and fine men in the officialdom. The copy was read once, written silently, divided into several copies and spread like snowflakes in Yingtian City. Li Bin had already obtained it. The hand is exactly the same as what Liu Ji showed Yang Xian.

"The content here is very detailed." Li Shanchang read through the ten lines at a glance, and he memorized the articles of impeachment in an instant, "The Yushitai put a lot of effort into it."

"Your subordinates know." Li Bin was worried about this. "My subordinates have said that they found it cleaner than a dog licks it. Even when I first became an official, I even wrote down the bacon that I gave to my superiors. So much The words are placed there, adding oil and vinegar, and the subordinates are almost heinous."

"That group of people are the best at playing word games, it's nothing." Li Shanchang said, "I want you to know that there is no escape from disaster, and punishment is certain."

"Then I beg the prime minister to protect my family." Li Bin was still kneeling on the ground at this time, his head was covered with sweat, and he kept wiping his sleeves, his legs shaking like sifting chaff. For some crimes, it would be better to fight for an exile."

"I will help you think about it. Even if I can't keep you, I will definitely not treat your family badly. I will take them to my hometown."

While Li Shanchang was talking, he got up and brought Li Bin a cup of tea himself, and covered his body by turning away, he smelled the purse lightly.

Li Bin was so touched that he burst into tears. When he was about to thank him, he suddenly saw Li Shanchang's body shaking, and the teacup fell to the ground and split in two. Regardless of the water splashed on his body, he quickly got up to support him, and bowed his head. After seeing Li Shanchang fainted in shock, he lost all doubts about his illness.

The meeting between the two was kept secret, and Li Bin didn't dare to shout out, so he picked up Li Shanchang and put him on the couch, and hurriedly wanted to find a servant to call the doctor.

As soon as he took a step, Li Shanchang woke up slowly, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know where to look. After a while, he focused on Li Bin, grabbed his hand and said, "It seems that I have to wait a while." It takes time to go to court, you listen to me, go to Hu Weiyong first, he is very capable and has many ideas, he usually helps me deal with relationships, you go to see him, just say I want to protect you, let him think of a way."

"Prime Minister..." Li Bin had tears in his eyes.

"Go quickly, my illness is fine, Madam will come to see me in a while, you go while the night is dark, you can still see him before dawn."

"This, this..." Li Bin originally came here to save himself, but at this moment he was aroused with real concern, and held Li Shanchang's hand and refused to leave, "It's all the damn literati in eastern Zhejiang, who An official will not be greedy? Who can get out of the mud without being stained? The birds are as good as their bows, and they kill them like this, and they will come back sooner or later!"

Li Shanchang let out a breath, and slowly said in a weak voice: "Yes, the bird is a good bow... Which emperor is not like this."

Li Bin just complained, he didn't expect him to say such outrageous words, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Go, go." Li Shanchang looked up at the ceiling and waved his hand.

The sound of the watchman making the watch came faintly. Li Bin didn't dare to delay any longer. He knelt down, kowtowed, got up, put on his cloak and left.

Some cool green highlights floated outside the window, Yingying stood alone, exuding a cold and clear shimmer.They fly gently, as if they want to fly to a place that does not belong to the human world, to a brand new, insignificant world.

Li Shanchang stared at these short-lived insects. Their green light reminded him of many things, including memories of summer nights when he studied hard as a child, the first meeting with Zhu Yuanzhang, the corpses on the battlefield, and Liu Ji's day. The gray sideburns in front of the Fengtian Hall, and the scattered memories finally gathered into the seal quietly placed on the imperial case of the Hall of Martial Arts.

He came to his senses.

Chen put her hand on the door frame and looked at him worriedly.

"Ma'am." Li Shanchang smiled.

"Li Bin left?" Chen asked.

"Let's go." Li Shan said long, "I asked him to find Hu Weiyong."

"Hu Weiyong?" Mrs. Chen walked in and helped him to sit up, "Is Hu Weiyong the Huaixi man you just picked up?"

Li Shanchang didn't say much in this regard, he picked up the bank note on the table and handed it to Mrs. Chen: "Madam, take it to the account, and buy me some chickens and ducks."

Mrs. Chen took it over and looked at it, and was surprised by the number, then looked at her husband, he had already closed his eyes, so he put the things in his sleeves and said, "Then I'm going out."

Li Shanchang nodded slightly, and Mrs. Chen left the room and walked towards the courtyard.

After a while, a young man with his head bowed came in, knelt down and said, "Master, I have searched the study in Li Bin's house, but I didn't find your letter. Instead, he has a side courtyard where he kept A few concubines, let's find something from there."

Li Shanchang opened his eyes, and the servant held the things high in both hands and held them up in front of him.

He turned it over on his body, counted it, and said: "There are quite a few. Set fire to that side courtyard, and then notify the hidden piles in Li Bin's mansion, and all of them will be withdrawn after dawn."

"Yes." The boy withdrew.

Hu Fu.

The owner here is from Haozhou.As early as the first year of the dragon and phoenix, he took refuge in today's holy majesty, and served in many official positions such as county magistrate, general judge, and Qianshi. Relying on his intelligence and agility and his relationship with the same hometown as the prime minister, he was appreciated, promoted step by step, and worked steadily. He became the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, one of the five temples, and later promoted to the minister of this temple.

Hu Weiyong is short in stature, fair in complexion, not fat, and looks handsome, and he can be regarded as a good-looking talent.It was late at night, and he heard that someone was visiting, so he only put on a Taoist robe over his obscene clothes, and came to the living room.

With a creak, Li Bin squeezed in the door, looked around, and took off his hood.

In order to keep the secret, Li Bin didn't tell the gatekeeper who he was. Although Hu Weiyong agreed to meet, he didn't know who it was. He suddenly saw the face that stirred up the officialdom today under the dim light, and said in surprise: "Brother Li ?”

Li Bin could kneel down without hesitation when facing Li Shanchang, but when facing Hu Weiyong, his face was somewhat uneasy, so he had to salute and put a sincere expression of asking for help on his face.

"Brother Hu, I offended you by nagging late at night."

"Ah, it's nothing." Hu Weiyong said, "I didn't sleep well. Brother Li, you came to see me so late, is there anything urgent?"

People from one camp are naturally closer when talking about things.

"It's just for today's matter!" Li Bin said, "You already know, that book!"

"I know, it has already spread in private."

"This matter is linked to the death of my neck and the lives of my whole family. You also know that I am in a hurry. Before I see you, I will go to the prime minister."

"Oh!" Hu Weiyong suddenly said, "What did the prime minister order?"

"The prime minister asked me to come to you for advice."

"Me?" Hu Weiyong was stunned, "Why..."

Li Bin interrupted him: "Brother Hu, do you think I was rejected by the prime minister?"

Hu Weiyong said: "Yes, of course not."

"I thought so too at first." Li Bin didn't listen to him at all, and explained to himself, "But the prime minister passed out in front of me, and when he woke up, he ignored his health and told me to come to you, so I knew I was wrong."

"Is the prime minister really sick? And it became so serious overnight?"

"Who said it wasn't?" Li Bin said, "It came too suddenly, too coincidental. But the illness came like a mountain, so who can do anything about it."

Hu Weiyong was skeptical.He keenly felt that this was a test for Li Shanchang to push himself to the fore. No matter whether he could keep Li Bin or not, as long as he made a plan this time, as long as he showed enough level, he would show his face in front of Huaixi forces.

After a short conversation, Li Bin took out the transcript and showed it to Hu Weiyong carefully. Hu Weiyong was silent for a moment, and asked the same content as Li Shanchang: "Is this true?"

"Really." Li Bin was numb and didn't make any excuses.

"I can't see that you have a big appetite." Hu Weiyong was stunned in his heart, Zhongshu was just a matter, and he was able to buy so many shops in Suzhou.

"Help me, Master Hu."

Li Bin can be regarded as being able to bend and stretch, and immediately knew to change Brother Hu into Master Hu.

Hu Weiyong coughed lightly, and paced the room: "In this way, you will definitely not be exonerated. We can only find a way to make the crime less serious."

"Of course that's good."

"First of all, these officials who bribed you in your hometown all made mistakes and wanted to manage your relationship, not to exchange any benefits with you."

Hu Weiyong paused: "Secondly, ask your family to introduce a person. He is domineering, causing resentment in the village, and using your reputation to buy things."

A few words made Li Bin's eyes brighten, and his lifeless face became more lively, and he couldn't wait to ask: "And then?"

"Then I'll figure out a way." Hu Weiyong said, "These censors may not be innocent. Officials of the sixth and seventh ranks, with such a small salary, I don't believe they have confiscated the money."

"What if." Li Bin said, "What if, they are like that, uh, that Lu Jinai."

"Lu Jinai is a fool, are they fools too?" Hu Weiyong said, "What do you mean dripping water into ink? Greed or not is up to them. Don't worry about it, just leave it to me."

"Ah." Li Bin is not Yang Xian, he has no self-esteem and pride. Hu Weiyong's all-inclusive words gave him a sense of security and made him happy all of a sudden, and he said, "What else?"

"There are also those letters, the letters you left at the bottom, burn them quickly, if you want to drag others into the water, you have to see who it is."

Li Bin is not shy at all: "I have been taught."

"Do you know anyone in the palace?"

"No." Li Bin said, "The Holy Majesty hates eunuchs, and the Crown Prince doesn't like being served by others, so there is no room for us to intervene."

"Is there always something for the concubine?"

"There are a few maids in charge who are listed as ours."

"You tell them to pay more attention. If there is any trouble, please write quickly." Hu Weiyong pulled the corner of his mouth down, full of arrogance, "I think Liu Ji is using you as a trump card! It's really not possible, he and the Holy One asked for it." Time to find a way to intervene."

"This won't work! This won't work!" Li Bin said, "Lord Hu, how dare you!"

Hu Weiyong frowned and said: "How can you be stingy when you do something big. If you delay for one more day, you will prepare an extra copy."

"Then I'm Zhu Liangzu!" Li Bin said, "His head is still hanging on the wall of Panyu City, it's almost drying! Mr. Hu, this incident has just passed, let's not do this, such..."

Li Bin wanted to find a word to describe it, but he only thought of rampant and arrogant.

Hu Weiyong didn't pay attention to his stuttering, turned around the table again, and said: "I heard that Liu Ji has abandoned his cultivation, and his body is no longer as good as ordinary people."

"Yes." Li Bin nodded, and looked at Hu Weiyong with gradually understanding eyes, "You mean..."

"Poison, assassinate!" Hu Weiyong said, "Of course you can't kill him, you can kill his family's servants, wives, concubines or children, and force him to take back the memorial."

"No, no, no." Li Bin shook his head like a rattle again. He never imagined that Hu Weiyong's heart was so cruel, but at this moment he had to rely on him. He was so anxious that he took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and wiped it as he went. Said, "Doesn't this show the murderer?"

Hu Weiyong hated that iron could not be made into steel, and stared at Li Bin and said: "This is not good, that is not good, you'd better be exiled, do you still want to be an official?"

"Exile is good, exile is good." Li Bin said, "It doesn't matter whether you become an official or not, as long as you keep your head."

"...Okay, then I'll listen to you." Hu Weiyong said, "Go back and prepare, we will work hard on both sides."
