Li Shui had already reached the palace gate, but he had been hiding nearby and did not go out.
Because Wang Jian was kneeling there, it might be dangerous if he went out rashly.
Although Wang Jian is old, he is still a military commander. Although he was asking for forgiveness, what if some of the tendons were wrong and I went crazy and suddenly hit him like this while he was passing by, wouldn't it be bad?
I am a person who wants to do great things, but I cannot capsize in this kind of gutter.
Li Xin was waiting impatiently beside him and said to Li Shui, "Brother Huai, how about I borrow a set of armor for you?"
Li Shui said: "No need."
Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "He finally wants to show off."
Who knew that Li Shui then said: "The armor is too heavy. If you wear it, you can't run fast."
Li Xin: "..."
At this time, Ji Ming limped over. He was worried and wanted to leave the palace to find out the news.
Now that Wang Li is dead and Wang Ben has been arrested, the future of the Wang family is very uncertain. Should you find another backer?
Who should I look for? Lord Li Si? Master Zhao Gao? Lord Wang Wan? Is Chunyu a great man?
Ji Ming thought about the Manchao Gongqing over and over again and hesitated.
At this time, he looked up and saw Li Shui and Li Xin. And these two people were looking directly at him.
As soon as Ji Ming saw Li Shui, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his butt.
Li Shui asked with a smile: "Where are you going?"
Ji Ming bowed carefully and said, "Leave the palace and take a walk."
Li Shui chuckled: "Please do as you please."
Ji Ming walked past Li Shui cautiously and was relieved when he saw that he didn't make any big moves.
However, just as Ji Ming calmed down, he heard Li Shui shouting from behind: "Huai Guzi has left the palace."
Ji Ming was startled and thought to himself: "You leave the palace as soon as you leave the palace. Are you making such a noise?"
At the same time, a loud shout came from Ji Ming's ears, and a figure rushed towards him.
It's Wang Jian.
Wang Jian, who was already kneeling on the ground, was dizzy and in a trance. When he heard the three words Huaiguzi, his blood suddenly surged and he staggered to his feet.
Wang Jian stood up suddenly, feeling like the world was spinning. His eyes were blurry, and he saw a figure walking out of the palace gate, and he subconsciously thought that this was Huai Guzi.
Wang Jian had a copper hammer in his hand, and he couldn't help but smash it at Ji Ming.
Ji Ming was so frightened that he screamed and shied away. But he was still hit in the leg by the hammer, and he screamed and fell to the ground.
Wang Jian held the copper hammer and cursed breathlessly: "I have been a general for three generations and have contributed to the Qin Dynasty. My son and my grandson have been framed by you. Even if I teach you a lesson today, I don't think your majesty will blame you."
Then, Wang Jian jumped on Ji Ming and hit him with his hammer.
It can be seen that Wang Jian struck very carefully and did not hit the fatal place. It seems that he just wanted to beat people to vent his anger, not kill anyone.
Li Xin scratched his head and said, "Wang Jian is asking for forgiveness. At this time, he still dares to hit people? Is he really an old fool?"
Li Shui analyzed: "Wang Jian is actually very smart. He pleads guilty and uses his old age to win the emperor's sympathy, but this is not enough. Beating his enemy can show his affection for his beloved son, and the emperor's sympathy must be increased by 30%. Although He hates me so much, but he can’t kill me, he can only beat me up. How pitiful is that? The emperor’s sympathy must be increased by 30%. If I were Your Majesty, I would probably be moved too.”
While the two of them were talking, Ji Ming had already received more than twenty blows. He screamed and shouted: "I am not Huaiguzi, I am not..."
But Wang Jian couldn't hear it at all. He had been kneeling at the gate of the palace for several hours, being exposed to the scorching sun for several hours, and his body was on the verge of heatstroke.
Now he was beating Ji Ming emotionally, and his body could no longer bear it.
At this time, Wang Jian felt dizzy and his ears were buzzing. He tried his best and after one last blow, he fell to the ground with a plop.
Li Shui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and walked out from the palace in a swaggering manner.
Ji Ming was in severe pain all over his body and struggled to stand up, but as soon as his right leg hit the ground, he felt a sharp pain. This leg is probably broken.
Li Shui bent down and said with a surprised look on his face: "Ji Ming, why did you fight with General Wang? The old general has outstanding achievements. If you beat him to death, you will probably be killed."
Ji Ming's face suddenly turned pale.
Li Shui and Li Xin ignored Ji Ming, but got on the carriage with a smile and rushed to Shang Jun's Courtyard.
In the past, Shangjun Courtyard was deserted and deserted, with few people coming here.
But today, it was crowded with people coming in and out in an endless stream.
Li Shui hurriedly called a craftsman over and asked, "How many tickets were collected today?"
Takuto was a little dazed: "What ticket?"
Li Shui scolded: "Idiot! Don't you need to charge a ticket to visit Shangjun Courtyard?"
The craftsman hesitated and said, "These people are here to give gifts."
Li Shui became even more angry: "Don't those who give gifts need to charge tickets? They are asking me for help. They are willing to give you whatever you charge."
The craftsman had no choice but to agree and asked cautiously: "Is one hundred thousand dollars too much?"
Li Shui said calmly: "It's not much, just go and collect it. By the way, who gave me the gift?"
The craftsman scratched his head: "Young people can't read either. Their gifts have greeting notes on them."
Li Shui waved his hand and sent the craftsman away.
He and Li Xin entered Shangjun's courtyard. Li Xin found a jar of wine and poured himself a glass of wine. And Li Shui started to look at the gifts.
There were just some gold and silver jewelry on the left and right, and Li Shui didn't have much interest in them. Money is just a bunch of numbers, and Li Shui doesn't love money. His focus is on the person giving the gift.
Some of these gifts were given by Mr. Wu, some were given by Mr. Zhao, and some were given by Mr. Zhang.
Li Shui didn't know any of them.
"To be courteous for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief. You are such a good person, why are you giving me a gift?" Li Shui was a little confused.
At this time, a man walked in from outside, bowed and said, "I know the reason."
Li Shui looked up and saw that it was Zhou Qingchen.
Zhou Qingchen said: "These people are not part of the Wang family, and they have no grudges against Lord Huai. Moreover, they have no backers in the court. A few days ago when they were harvesting Sumai, these people were bewitched by the Wang family. They added insult to injury and wrote slanderous memorials. Mr. Huai. I want to get promoted through this."
"I never thought that Lord Huai would be victorious and Wang Li would die. They were afraid, worried that Lord Huai would cause trouble for them. So they gave them gifts to ask for forgiveness."
Li Shui suddenly realized: "That's it."
Zhou Qingchen asked curiously: "I wonder, Master Huai, how do you plan to deal with them?"
Li Shui said to Zhou Qingchen: "I see that you are literate and talented. How about you do something for me?"
Zhou Qingchen was overjoyed: "I will let you be driven by your Majesty."
Li Shui snorted: "If you let the wind go, say that I will only forgive the ten most sincere people. Before tomorrow's court meeting, whoever has the most sincerity, I, Huai Guzi, will let go of our past feud with him."
Zhou Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then racked his brains and praised: "Master Huai, you are so magnanimous."
Li Xin almost spit out his wine: "Brother Huai is such a shameless person."
Seeing Zhou Qingchen turning to leave, Li Xin stopped him again and said: "When you spread the news, by the way, I am Huai Guzi's best friend. Brother Huai will take my opinions into consideration. Also, my most important thing is She likes swords and famous horses, and my wife likes jewelry the most.”
Zhou Qingchen was choked for a moment, and it took him a while to say something: "Master Li dotes on his wife, and the love between husband and wife is deep, which is enviable and admirable."
That night, many people didn't sleep.
The group of courtiers gave gifts to Li Shui like a competition. Often they don't dare to leave after giving gifts. They have to wait at the door of Shangjun's courtyard to see what other people have given. Seeing that their gifts are not enough, they quickly go back and bring more treasures.
Li Shui looked at the gold and silver jewelry and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, look at how many treasures these princes, generals and ministers have accumulated. If they are distributed to the poor, I don't know how many people can fill their stomachs." "
Li Xin asked: "Are you planning to break up?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said: "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. I plan to replace it with fertile farmland and vigorously promote my farming method."
Li Shui and Li Xin chatted for a while, then went to see Cang Fu and Wang Laoshi.
These two people have woken up, but they are still a little weak. I estimate that I will be able to get out of bed after a few more days of rest.
A night of silence. The next day, Li Shui dressed up, got into the carriage, and prepared to go to court.
When he walked out of the gate of Shangjun's courtyard, he saw that there were still courtiers making a last-ditch effort, ordering their family members to bring gifts to make amends.
"Alas, everyone in the world doesn't understand me. I, Li Shui, am a person who will retaliate for my anger and care about everything?" Li Shui shook his head: "Forget it, let them think what they want. Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know something but don't be stunned?"
…………
At the entrance of the government hall, hundreds of officials gathered there, whispering to each other.
Li Shui and Li Xin arrived late. As soon as they arrived, the officials fell silent.
Everyone looked at Li Shui with a somewhat complicated look. Yesterday, Li Shui killed Wang Li and captured Wang Ben, forcing Wang Jian to plead guilty and plead with the emperor. Everything is amazing enough.
Some are timid and no longer dare to provoke Li Shui. Everyone who had provoked Li Shui hated himself for being so mean-mouthed.
Especially the courtiers who followed Lishui in the past two days, now they want to slap themselves in the face.
Li Shui coughed dryly and took out a few pieces of bamboo from his arms. After looking at it, he said, "Excuse me, who is Wu Yue, Mr. Wu?"
A courtier with a goatee responded nervously.
Li Shui walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Wu sent you a generous gift yesterday. Huai is very grateful. We will be friends from now on. Haha."
Wu Yue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shui ordered nine more people. Made friends with them.
The remaining people are like mourning their heirs.
Many people are thinking: "There is nothing you can do if you offend Huaiguzi. But I also gave you a valuable gift yesterday. Could it be that it was of no use at all in the end?"
"Forget it about giving gifts. The key point is that every time you go to Shangjun Courtyard to give gifts, you have to pay an entrance fee of 100,000 yuan. This money is also a big expense."
These courtiers felt very shortchanged.
Chunyu Yue stood not far away, watching with cold eyes, shaking his head repeatedly: "The ministers in the dynasty are all shameless people. Is it okay if we don't educate them with Confucianism? Is it okay if we don't learn etiquette, justice and integrity? It seems that there is a long way to go to help the world. ah."
The more Chunyu thought about it, the more he felt that he was very pure. I was the only pure person among all the dirty people in the world.
Little did he know that those courtiers who failed to give gifts looked at Chunyu Yue with some jealousy: "If I had known...if I had known, I would be like Dr. Chunyu, shameless enough to make friends with Huaiguzi. In that case, there would be no need to give gifts yesterday, and today So you don’t have to worry anymore."
