Everyone knows the truth.
However, not everyone can calmly face years of hard work being wasted.
Xu Yong's expression kept changing, and he knew in his heart that what Concubine Li said was the best way to deal with it.
But there is still a sense of luck in his heart.
Even, constantly looking for various reasons and self-persuasion.
But, unfortunately, the reasons they are looking for always have various loopholes.
In other words - risk.
Concubine Li took a deep look at Xu Yong.
Then he turned around and walked up to the top without saying a word.
She had already said everything that needed to be said.
Now it depends on how Xu Yong chooses.
Time passed by breath by breath.
The struggling expression on Xu Yong's face gradually receded.
What replaced it was a look of incomparable pain and severity.
Seeing this, the expressionless Concubine Li couldn't help but feel relieved deep down.
"Huh~!"
Xu Yong exhaled heavily.
Then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, concubine, for the advice. The child already understands what to do."
Concubine Li looked deeply at Xu Yong, stared into Xu Yong's eyes, and asked word by word: "How to do it?"
Xu Yong took a few deep breaths again, and then slowly answered: "Broken arms to survive."
Concubine Li stood up slowly and walked towards Xu Yong.
Looking directly into Xu Yong's eyes, he reminded her word by word: "Yong'er, remember today's lesson. Don't let me easily mess up your mood in the future. You must know that the more confused your mind is, the more mistakes you will make."
Xu Yong's heart trembled, he couldn't help but think of today's performance, and then he clasped his fists again and said: "Thank you, mother and concubine, for the advice, I will definitely keep it in mind."
The words are over.
Xu Yong then lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of Xu Yi?"
Concubine Li's face paused, and after thinking for a moment, she slowly replied: "It's so wise that it's almost like a demon, it's unfathomable."
The words just fell.
Xu Yong was stunned on the spot.
Hearing this kind of comment from Concubine Li is like the sun rising in the west!
As the only son of Concubine Li, he clearly knew Concubine Li's evaluation of Xu An.
"It's just a talent, my son can easily replace it."
After saying that, only half a year later, the witchcraft disaster completely broke out.
But now, Concubine Li's evaluation of Xu Yi is: "He is as wise as a demon and is unfathomable." "
How could this not shock Xu Yong.
Unknowingly, the sense of crisis in Xu Yong's heart was so strong that it was beyond words.
My back felt like it was soaked in an instant.
After hastily regaining his composure, Xu Yong asked with a slightly trembling voice: "May I ask my mother and concubine how to break the situation."
This situation is broken, not that situation.
Concubine Li's beautiful eyebrows instantly knitted when she heard this.
In an instant, the apse fell into a dead silence.
Xu Yong wanted to open his mouth to urge him several times, but unfortunately, he couldn't make the slightest sound.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
It was as if she was afraid of disturbing Concubine Li's thoughts.
Time passes breath by breath.
I don’t know how long it took.
Concubine Li sighed slightly, and then slowly said: "My mother knows very little about Xu Yi. After Yong'er returns, she will sort out everything he did during this period."
The words are over.
Concubine Li taught with a solemn face: "No matter when, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger. Yong'er must remember this."
Xu Yong lowered his head in response, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Update without error@
suddenly.
Xu Yong raised his head and spoke out the strategy he had formulated last night.
"Concubine, does this plan work?" Xu Yong looked at Concubine Li anxiously.
Concubine Li pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Let's give it a try and see how Xu Yi responds."
After all, no one expected that Xu Yi would take advantage of the severe drought in Guanzhong to walk out of Zongzheng Temple.
And during his eight years at Zongzheng Temple, he had a lot of feelings for Li.
As far as the imperial concubine is concerned, it is almost blank.
As she said just now, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.
How to know each other only through some one-sided information?
The words are over.
Concubine Li couldn't help but remind: "Leave this matter to others. Now you must not get too involved in disaster relief."
The more you do, the more mistakes you make.
Similarly, this sentence is equally valid when applied to Xu Yi.
Concubine Li didn't want Xu Yong to fall into Xu Yi's hands again before she could study Xu Yi thoroughly.
"According to what the mother and concubine said. _o_m" Xu Yong's face straightened, he cupped his hands and saluted, assuring himself.
...
Outside Guangdefang, where Jingzhao Mansion is located.
Fang Yi, the master and servant who had returned from Prince Jin's Mansion, drove into the avenue outside the square gate.
He couldn't help but stop his horse.
Nothing else.
What you can see in front of you is a sea of people! The avenue that could originally accommodate carriages running parallel was now blocked.
Countless officials in various official uniforms, with flushed faces, mingled among the people.
There were also countless government officials, red-faced and yelling, to clear the roads.
"Sixth Master, what is this?" Zhao Shou looked at Xu Yi beside him in stunned silence.
Xu Yi looked at the officials wearing various official uniforms, slightly curved the corners of his mouth, and chuckled: "The iron rooster has been plucked."
Don't wait for Zhao Shou to ask.
Xu Yi pointed at the group of officials mixed among the people and said softly: "Your Majesty had an order yesterday. All those who are officials in the capital must set an example for the people."
The words are over.
Zhao Shou instantly understood in his heart that, speaking of it, it was all caused by the two disaster relief monuments.
Zhao Shou glanced at the red-faced officials in the crowd, many of whom were impatient.
He reminded softly: "Sixth Master, if this happens, won't you be hated by others?"
"It doesn't matter." Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Officials don't care about this little money. On the contrary, when they arrive at Jingzhao Mansion later, they will donate more money than each other."
"As for the officials, although their faces are full of resentment at this time, it won't take long for the resentment in their hearts to disappear, and they will be grateful to me in their hearts."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shou was as confused as Monk Zhang Er, his head was full of confusion.
Zhao Shou was puzzled and said: "Why is this, Mr. Liu?"
Xu Yi glanced ahead. Although there were government officials trying their best to communicate, there were simply too many people.
Without two or three quarters of an hour's effort, it would be impossible to pass normally.
Immediately, Xu Yi turned to look at Zhao Shou and asked, "Let me ask you, when is next year?"
Zhao Shou scratched his head and replied in confusion: "After the New Year, it will be the 30th year of Zhengde."
Xu Yi laughed and pointed at the officials in the crowd.
Asked again: "What year is the thirty years of Zhengde to them?"
Zhao Shou pondered for a moment, constantly thinking about what year next year would be.
suddenly.
An idea flashed in Zhao Shou's mind.
He exclaimed loudly: "I know, I know, next year is the year of Beijing and Chaoyang!"
Xu Yi smiled, and then slowly said: "You understand now."
"Understood!" Zhao Shou said happily: "Sixth Master taught Zhao Shou before, this is called human nature...it is also called equivalent exchange."
The words just finished.
Zhao Shou took a deep breath and continued: "If the iron rooster is asked to pluck its feathers for no reason, the iron rooster will definitely not be willing to do it, and will even try every means to find various excuses to pluck less or delay the plucking."
"However, Mr. Liu set up two disaster relief monuments beforehand, and the result was different."
"They seem to be plucking hair, but in fact they are just using money to buy public support."
"The more donations they make, the better their reputation will be among the people. As next year is the year of Beijing inspection, a good reputation may be able to get them a good evaluation."
"The better the evaluation, the greater the chance of promotion."
"It is precisely because of this that instead of resenting Mr. Liu for causing them to lose money, they will also be grateful to Mr. Liu for creating something for them.
Such an opportunity was created. After all, before this, even if someone was willing to exchange money for fame, it would be half the result with twice the result because of the wrong timing! "
Xu Yi couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "You can teach a kid."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shou's face instantly burst into a proud smile.
However, soon, the proud smile on Zhao Shou's face disappeared.
Instead, there was deep confusion.
Zhao Shou looked at Xu Yi and said doubtfully: "But, as an official, there is no need for Beijing inspection."
Xu Yi smiled, and then pointed at the crowded people not far away.
He reminded: "Then tell me, why do they come all the way to donate money and food?"
Zhao Shou didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Some people are kind-hearted, but more people actually want to get on the disaster relief merit monument."
Xu Yi's face straightened, and then he slowly opened his mouth to teach: "Being kind-hearted and being on the merit monument does not conflict with each other."
"The common people are human beings, and the officials are also human beings. They also have the thoughts that the common people have."
The words are over.
Zhao Shou nodded thoughtfully.
A few dozen breaths later.
Zhao Shou bowed his hands and said, "Zhao Shou has memorized Sixth Master's teachings."
Xu Yi nodded, then looked up at the still extremely crowded people in front of Guangdefang.
No words were spoken for a long time.
After a long time.
Xu Yi laughed and then turned to look at Zhao Shou beside him.
He said in a low voice: "Do you think it would be interesting if in a few days we arrange for government servants and civil servants to carry these merit monuments around the major shops in Chang'an City and sing?"
"Singing skills?" Zhao Shou exclaimed.
Immediately, the scene of a group of government servants and civil servants carrying disaster relief merit tablets and singing kung fu could not help but emerge in their minds.
If in front of the neighbors, the government servants loudly praise one's merits.
this......
this......
Guangzong Yaozu! ! !
Think of this.
Zhao Shou couldn't help but shudder, and his whole body was covered with goosebumps.
Looking at Xu Yi, his eyes couldn't help but be filled with admiration, and he kept saying: "Sixth Master! High! High! It's really too high!"
In this way, Xu Yi became the biggest beneficiary.
And in this way, no one can choose one, two, or three.
Xu Yi laughed and ignored Zhao Shou's flattery.
Xu Yi's idea of singing was not an impromptu idea, but had been planned for a long time.
However, he has been hesitating in his heart whether he should do this.
The benefits of doing so are of course unlimited.
But at the same time, it will inevitably attract the attention of Emperor Zhengde.
Whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages requires careful consideration.
...
The expected two or three quarters of an hour.
In the end, it took half an hour to clear the road.
It's not that the officials in Jingzhao Mansion are not capable enough.
In fact, there are too few manpower and too many people, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion are often operating under high load these days.
The moment the road is cleared. _o_m
Xu Yi and Zhao Shou quickly walked towards Jingzhao Mansion under the protection of the Yamen servants.
Even though they were escorted by government officials, when the two arrived at the open space in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
He couldn't help but break out in hot sweat.
Kaiyuan, who originally directed many affairs in an orderly manner.
Seeing Xu Yi and the two men walking hard with their horses, they couldn't help but rush forward to meet them.
"Sir." As he approached, Kaiyuan greeted him with a respectful salute.
When and what kind of name to use, Kaiyuan knows better than anyone else.
Xu Yi slightly cupped his hands in return, and everything was as before.
After returning the gift.
Xu Yi handed the reins to Zhao Shou.
Then he walked with Kai Yuan and said, "How is the situation today?"
Zhang Kaiyuan quickly replied: "After yesterday's incident spread, an especially large number of people came today. It is roughly estimated that the amount of money and food donated today should be far higher than in the past."
"First time.
In addition, there are the officials. From the beginning, the officials have been competing with each other. If you two, I will give eighty taels, and if I give eighty taels, the other person will give one hundred taels. "
After speaking, Kai Yuan grinned and said: "I have been an official for many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a wonderful sight."
Everything was not beyond Xu Yi's expectations.
Xu Yi smiled and then ordered: "Bring them all to the house and arrange for some government servants to sing the amount!"
As soon as this statement came out.
A trace of astonishment flashed across Zhang Yuan's face, and then his eyebrows curved and he agreed repeatedly: "I'll do it now!"
After saying this, Kai Yuan bowed his hands and said goodbye, running towards the main entrance with unusually cheerful footsteps.
Xu Yi glanced at the red-faced officials arguing not far away.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "You want the name, I want the money, it's an equal exchange, no one suffers."
This means that Qin Fuping donated early and surrendered early.
If Qin Fuping were here, I really don't know what he would feel in his heart.
It doesn't take a while.
Officials one after another were invited into Jingzhao Mansion by Kai Yuan.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of government officials slowly extended outward from Jingzhao Mansion, two steps apart.
There were ten more people, each holding a large copper trumpet. Standing upright at the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.
The unusual movements of the Jingzhao Mansion officials instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Gradually, the noise in front of Jingzhao Mansion gradually subsided. @·No mistake first release~~
It won’t take a while!
The government officials passed word of mouth on the situation in the mansion to the main entrance.
At the main entrance, the ten government officials who received the news looked at each other.
Immediately, they raised the big copper trumpets at the same time in tacit agreement.
They shouted out the news they received in unison: "I would like to advise Dr. Lou Yongqi to donate one hundred taels to the victims!"
The lingering sound has not yet dissipated.
The ten people said in unison again: "Censor Zhongcheng Jing Yuanlin donated one tael to the victims!"
The lingering sound has not yet dissipated.
The ten people quickly added: "Admonishment doctor Lou Yongqi felt sorry for the victims and added an additional one hundred taels! A total of two hundred taels!"
Next.
The style of painting in front of Jingzhao Mansion has completely changed.
: "Censor Zhong Chengjing Yuanlin feels sorry for the victims! He also added one hundred taels! A total of two taels!"
: "Admonition to Dr. Lou Yongqi! Add another one hundred taels! A total of three hundred taels!"
: "Jing Yuanlin added another hundred taels! A total of three taels!"
: "Lou Yongqi! Four hundred taels!"
: "Jing Yuanlin! Four taels."
In an instant, it seemed like an auction was held in Jingzhao Mansion.
In the end, the imperial censor Zhongcheng Zoujing Yuanlin defeated the admonishing official Lou Yongqi with his salary of nearly two years and one thousand and three taels. With a slight advantage of two taels, he won the final victory.
It doesn't take a while.
Jing Yuanlin walked out of Jingzhao Mansion with a face full of joy.
On the other hand, Lou Yongqi's face was full of depression, and his eyes looking at Jing Yuanlin's back were filled with overwhelming anger and hatred.
Fortunately, the people's applause slightly alleviated his inner depression, but it could not alleviate his resentment towards Jing Yuanlin.
Political opponents, political opponents, are life-and-death enemies. The scene played out today is just a ruthless tearing apart of the pretense of the past.
Xu Yi hid in the crowd, looking at the two people's retreating figures with a smile on his lips.
This move is naturally of no benefit to people who have been in court for a long time.
But this is not the case for Xu Yi.
After this incident, he was able to understand the intricate relationships in the court as quickly and efficiently as possible.
At the very least, it can be easily and clearly seen who is at odds with whom, and who is a sworn enemy in the political arena.
Moreover, this move has no harm to him, and the conflict has long been transferred to both parties.
Why wouldn't he do it?
The battle between Lou Yongqi and Jing Yuanlin seems to have kicked off this overt and covert struggle.
In the next two or three hours.
In the Jingzhao Mansion, it was really you who sang and I came on stage, and the fight was endless.
Only Jingzhao Mansion and Xu Yi are the only ones, so they really win. .
I don’t know when.
Zhao Shou came over again.
With a worried look on his face, he said: "Sixth Master, if we continue like this, nothing will happen."
Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the government officials who had changed several times at the main entrance, recalling the struggle just now in his ears.
Unknowingly, someone has already raised the intensity of the struggle to the level of two.
Fortunately, no one did anything too outrageous, and the money they took out for the fight fell within the scope of their normal income.
Xu Yi then glanced at the people who were a little numb in their cheers.
After this incident, the people are bound to have a new understanding of imperial salary.
In this way, it can reduce people's tolerance for corrupt officials.
Secondly, it will arouse countless people's yearning for officialdom.
To a certain extent, Xu Yi can be said to have done a great thing for the country and the people.
Xu Yi looked away, calmed down, and then said softly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The words are over.
Xu Yi immediately added: "Do you really think they don't know that Jingzhao Mansion is behind this? Each of these people is more ghostly than the other, and their hearts have long been like a mirror."
"Then the Sixth Master still asked Zhang Fuwei to do this?" Zhao Shou looked at Xu Yi confused like a monk Zhang Er was confused.
Xu Yi sighed softly, and then slowly said: "I just praised you as a teachable boy, why can't you turn around now?"
As he said that, Xu Yi looked at Zhao Shou and explained in a low voice: "As I said just now, next year will be the year of Beijing Supervision. Every time it comes to the Year of Beijing Supervision, some people will be promoted, some will be demoted, and some will lose their official positions. Someone lost their life."
"At this time, if they can spend money to eliminate disasters and keep their official positions, what do you think they will do?"
"When everyone is spending money to ward off disasters, if they have a little more money, they can overwhelm their political opponents and get more opportunities than their political opponents. What do you think they will do?"
"It's too late for them to thank me by then, so how can they resent me? After all, money is easy to lose, but opportunities don't come often."
"As for those losers, after they fail, they will attribute their failure to the suppression of political opponents and their own lack of financial resources. How can they blame me, the person who provides the platform?"
The words are over.
Zhao Shou looked thoughtful and said nothing for a long time. .
Xu Yi chuckled, and then set his sights on the main entrance office again.
At the end of the day, it's just human nature.
If Zhao Shou can straighten out its internal logical relationships, his achievements will naturally reach a higher level in the future. .
