I am the king of the dead

The clearing workshop where His Majesty's Tai'an Palace is located is just outside Donghuamen. The sergeants in the clearing workshop stood on the wall of the clarification workshop, staring at the Donghuamenwai Street below.

The street outside Donghuamen is one of the roads of His Majesty's clarification workshop. Naturally, this arresting son-in-law can't arrest people with a set of sacks like in the past.

Li Sui was one of the few high-quality candidates, the one who deserved to be arrested, and the one who got the best test.

The people in front of him basically have families, and they have already reported to the court before taking part in the examination.

Moreover, after Li Sui sounded the Dengwen Drum, his reputation was so great that he dared to go to His Majesty to cry out for injustice, and he even won the call.

And Li Sui was handsome and handsome, and suddenly became a hot favorite.

At this time, Li Sui fell into deep distress. Although he was not married, he already had someone. He had an appointment with the old man, but he went to Beijing not only for reference, but also to sue the imperial court. His future was uncertain, so he left. Time to say goodbye to old people.

Beimen Street does not sing Chen Shimei, and Qinjialou does not sing Qin Xianglian.

There is a common folklore that Chen Shimei, a heartless man, went to Beijing to rush for the exam, abandoned his wife and son, and was finally beheaded by Bao Gong's tiger head.

Naturally, Li Sui didn't want to be Chen Shimei, so he shirked all kinds of betrothal matters.

But one of them couldn't shirk it, and that was Xiang Wenyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Speaking of this Wenyuan, his ability is not very good, and he was disgusted by Wang Zhi, the official of the Ministry of officials. It was not until Wang Ao, who had worked in the local area for 25 years, returned to Beijing, that Wang Zhi handed over the affairs of the ministry to Wang Ao to take care of .

Now Wang Ao's reputation is not enough, Wang Zhi has already handed over half of the affairs to Wang Ao to take care of, everything is in order.

Xiang Wenyuan is a bit like Chen Ruyan, both of them are not capable enough.

Chen Ruyan has self-knowledge, he directly entrusted the virtuous to the Temple of Heaven, and now he obeys the orders of his servants to serve as a bachelor's student in Wenyuan Pavilion. His grace is tireless, His Majesty often summons Chen Ruyan.

Xiang Wenyuan was transferred from the position of the left servant of the official department to the position of the right servant of the official department. Although they were both servants, the position of the heavenly official of the official department was in Wang Ao's pocket.

Xiang Wenyuan's ability is not good, but he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is good at drilling camps. There is a young girl in the family who has just grown up, so he aimed at Li Sui.

Li Sui was born in No. [-] Jia, and he served as an official outside. After the nine-year term expires, he has a bright future, is handsome, and upright. This Wenyuan intends to betroth his daughter to Li Sui.

Li Sui was not happy.

It is one aspect of him to have the old man in his heart.

On the other hand, Xiang Wenyuan's daughter, the third daughter of the Xiang family, is really too heavy, fat and heavy, and the flesh on her belly trembles when she walks.

Li Sui himself was arrogant, so naturally he refused.

The first time Xiang Wenyuan sent a matchmaker to talk about this matter, Li Sui refused, and Xiang Wenyuan didn't take it seriously. Anyway, there are other Jinshi who can be arrested.

But her third daughter was crying, fussing and hanged herself, Xiang Wenyuan had no choice but to intercede with a matchmaker, but Li Sui refused again.

This time, Xiang Wenyuan lost his face a little bit.

"I also ask the matchmaker to go back and tell Mr. Xiang that the student is already married and will marry soon. It is really impossible to agree." Li Sui said politely to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker was a man and a woman. The matchmaker was about to speak, but the matchmaker stopped the matchmaker, and said with a smirk: "Mr. Li has thought it through? If he thinks it through, I will report back to Lord Xiang."

This was a threat, and Li Sui's face immediately became painful.

Chapter 494 Shabby, very shabby

Li Sui's pain was not with his old man. With the mentality of going to prison, he went to Beijing to make a fuss. In order not to involve innocent people, he made an appointment with his old man, but it was before he broke up and traveled five thousand miles.

When he left, he didn't plan at all that he would be able to marry his old man alive.

He didn't look at it when the rankings were released in the meeting. After thinking about it, he went to beat the Dengwen drum.

As a result, he passed the Jinshi examination, actually sued the imperial court, and won.

The pressure from the third-rank officials in the court made him a little out of breath.

"I've made up my mind." Li Sui finally refused to give in, and in the face of threats, he still respected his heart.

If you don't want to be coaxed, whoever coaxes you is not a man!

He is just like you.

If he is willing to kneel, then he knelt in the Zhenxiong Mansion, so he still has to wait until the capital, when he is a Jinshi?

The matchmaker and the matchmaker stood up and left the Huitong Hall.

Li Sui's eyes were a little gloomy, the old saying is good, it is repeated again and again, this time, Xiang Wenyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of officials, was completely offended.

It's normal to refuse for the first time. It's normal to be unwilling to refuse.

The second time was when Xiang Wenyuan was so troubled by his daughter that he let the matchmaker come to his door.

This third time, Xiang Wenyuan did it out of face.

He was the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and even though he had been transferred to the Minister of the Right, almost everyone in the court knew that Xiang Wenyuan could not be a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, but Li Sui, a small Jinshi, could not offend him.

Xiang Wenyuan's mentality is not surprising.

Li Xian offended Yang Shiqi, went around as an official for 19 years, and became a servant after returning to Beijing.

Wang Ao offended Yang Shiqi, and he served as a foreign official for 25 years. If he hadn't followed His Majesty to suppress the rebellion in the south, and made meritorious deeds in Guangdong and Guangxi, he would have no idea whether he could return to Beijing.

The most correct thing Li Sui did was to agree to the Xiang family's marriage at the second time, so that Xiang Wenyuan would have face and Li Sui could enjoy the shade by leaning against his father-in-law's big tree.

But the matter has come to this point, Li Sui can only shake his head.

Li Sui is very confident in his talent and learning. Before he read the list, he had already determined that he could become a Jinshi. Now, his future has been cast a heavy shadow.

Even if Xiang Wenyuan didn't do anything, there would be people in the court who would trip him up.

The matchmaker arrived at the mansion, handed over the greeting card, and came to Xiangfu.

"Thank you two matchmakers." After hearing the matchmaker's description, Xiang Wenyuan's mouth twitched, and each of them gave five silver coins to send the two matchmakers away.

After the matchmaker left, Xiang Wenyuan finally couldn't hold the teacup in his hand, and fell to the ground forcefully.

"Father, he is toasting and not eating fine wine!" The third daughter of the Xiang family had been listening behind the screen. After the matchmaker left, she came out carrying the meat from her waist and said angrily.

Xiang Wenyuan's eyes were a bit fierce, and his tone was even more suppressed and angry, he said: "You all know that once I, Xiang, lose power, even a small Jinshi will start to push his nose on his face!"

Xiang Wenyuan's wife Cui closed her eyes and didn't look at the father and daughter at all.

When this incident got to this point, the Xiang family lost face, and it shouldn't have done this at all.

Is this the problem of Li Sui?

Cui's face was a bit sad, these three daughters were usually used to being arrogant and indulgent, but now they were getting older, and when they reached the age of marriage, they couldn't get married, so they started to cry, make trouble and hang themselves.

Her husband's official luck has not been going well recently, firstly because the officials of the Ministry of Officials were not happy.

This Wang Zhi is very old, and last year because of a relationship with Xie Zhenqi, she was impeached and almost stepped down. Originally, her husband's position as a heavenly official was very secure, but was snatched away by a backward Wang Aosheng.

All of a sudden, Xiang Wenyuan was a little out of his mind all day long, and he also became a little hysterical. He would never do such things on weekdays.

I saw the third daughter still said angrily: "We can't let him have good fruit to eat! One day, let him kneel in front of our house and beg our family to marry a daughter!"

As soon as Cui heard this, she opened her eyes in horror and said: "Husband, there is absolutely no way to force it. The capital is full of horses. If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's..."

"Daughter! What time is this? Do you still want to marry him? Go back to the house! You don't have a place to talk here."

"Husband, don't be arrogant."

Xiang Wenyuan suddenly woke up. The capital is the most benevolent place, but the more benevolent it is, the more dangerous it is. If he really wants to do something, let His Majesty know, let alone the right servant, it will be difficult for him to retire safely and return home .

"My lady is right, you can't do it, you can't do it." Xiang Wenyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, this is really a step away from being regarded as a typical example by His Majesty!

Xiang Wenyuan said with some lingering fear: "I'm also confused. My official career is not going well. If my daughter makes a noise again, she will become impetuous and almost bring disaster to the whole family."

Xiang Wenyuan said with a little embarrassment: "Is it okay to let him go like this?"

"What else do you want? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?" Cui became impatient when she heard this, slammed the table and stood up and said.

After thinking about it, Xiang Wenyuan turned his depression into a long sigh.

"Forget it, forget it, a down-and-out phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. What did they look like when I was the left servant before? What do they look like now? This is a cold world." Xiang Wenyuan was a little depressed.

Cui said a few more words of relief, but this matter is not something that can be comforted by words.

Suddenly, Xiang Wenyuan's face was ashen, and he said tremblingly: "It's over, it's over, it's over."

"What's wrong?" Choi asked suspiciously.

The corners of Xiang Wenyuan's mouth trembled, and he said inexplicably: "If I don't do it, someone will do it."

He, Xiang Wenyuan, had expected that some people had already secretly attacked Li Suiming.

The people who please Xiang Wenyuan are because Xiang Wenyuan is still the right servant, with great power.

There are many people who intend to take advantage of this incident to bring down Xiang Wenyuan. They wait for Xiang Wenyuan to be unlucky and vacate the position of the right servant. As long as Xiang Wenyuan falls, everyone can move .

So these two kinds of people formed an undercurrent in tacit understanding, and Li Sui was arranged.

Li Sui received two pieces of bad news. His old man... got married.

On the seventh day after he left central Sichuan, the woman's family, fearing that their family would be implicated by Li Sui, forced his old man to marry someone else.

This made Li Sui feel lost.

The second piece of bad news is that Li Sui was assigned to the military department and went to Shaanxi Xingdu Division to inspect the border affairs military department.

During the inspection of the Military Affairs Department of Border Affairs, Zhu Chun was in a similar position, the painter who was in the military department of Xuanfu, and later presided over the Gongshi of Xuanfu.

This position is generally given to officials who have no fame and come from grace.

These two bad news made Li Sui breathless, he was a little depressed, and then his eyes when he looked at the sky became more determined, and the depression on his face disappeared.

Can't you break through the bright hall when reviewing the border affairs?

At this time, Hu Mixiao came to Juxian Pavilion, found His Majesty, and wrote a memorial on how to arrange the Jinshi this time, and sent it to His Majesty.

"Play a game of chess, let's talk about a game." Zhu Qiyu took out Go, and Hu Wei didn't know how to push the chessboard, so Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei started to play Go.

Zhu Qiyu's go skills are probably the result of Hu Yi giving up both hands. Zhu Qiyu may not be able to win that kind of chess skills, and Hu Yan can't let go of the water if he wants to.

Too dishes.

"Your Majesty, Xiang Wenyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, forced the marriage of Li Sui, a new Jinshi. There was an uproar. Does Your Majesty know about this?" While playing chess, Hu Wei talked about everything in Beijing. He was asking a question, and His Majesty must Already know.

In the absolutely loyal Shuntian Mansion, where even spies can't survive, how can His Majesty not understand such a big public opinion?

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I heard."

Hu Wei said with a lot of emotion: "Li Sui is also unlucky. He went to inspect the frontier and went to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to do military affairs."

Where is Shaanxi Xingdu Division?It is the Hexi Corridor.

The location from Jiayuguan to Jingtai County is where Shaanxi Xingdusi is located. There are three hundred military forts. Except for the official road and post road, it is a desolate land.

Zhu Qiyu had already read Hu Min's memorial, so he naturally knew where Li Sui had gone.

He thought for a while and said: "I will announce him later, ask him if he is willing to go, and if not, just change to another one."

Hu Yi bowed his head and said: "Da Ming has such direct ministers, and I congratulate His Majesty. Your Majesty values ​​such direct ministers, and I congratulate Daming. But I think it is better to let him go."

"Pulling the seedlings will help them grow, but the seedlings will not produce ears. When I first entered the officialdom, I was tempered like this. If I sharpen it in the future, it must be a sharp knife."

Being targeted is never a bad thing. In Da Ming's officialdom, the most feared thing is being useless and a waste.

Hu Wei doesn't think it's a bad thing to go to Shaanxi to travel to the capital. Over the years, with the complete recovery of the Hetao area, the Hexi Corridor is returning to its former bustle. With this development, there are more problems.

It is also a good thing to have a capable minister and official go to Shaanxi Xingdusi.

Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

"I'm talking about this matter, not about Li Sui, what I'm talking about is the methods of the courtiers, and I'm still too anxious." Hu Wei said with a look of disgust.

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Oh? How do you say this?"

Hu Yan stroked his beard and said with a sneer: "If I do this, I will rub it in secret. Li Sui will fall to the bottom for such an open-minded arrangement."

"Is Hu Shangshu talking about Xiang Wenyuan?" Zhu Qiyu asked in a daze.

Hu Wei shook his head and said: "Xiang Wenyuan lost his mind and went crazy, and went to the door again and again, and lost his face."

"I'm talking about those who want to bring down Xiang Wenyuan and curry favor with Xiang Wenyuan."

Zhu Qiyu understood that Hu Shangshu was going to talk about the dog fighting in court again, which is something Hu Wei is very good at.

He smiled and asked, "How is that a way to take things slowly?"

Hu Yi made a move, he besieged and killed His Majesty's big dragon, and had already won, but Xing'an, who was the referee, did not move at all.

"This is the next move, just like they are in a hurry, throwing Li Sui to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division."

"The best policy is to take your time, first give Li Sui a seal and ribbon of a Beijing official, and then hang the seal and ribbon of a Beijing official. This is called Xianli."
