Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Li Yuchun, the Straight Man of Steel

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Li Yuchun, the Straight Man of SteelI only wish that my child is stupid and rude, and can become a noble without any disasters... Hiss, what a poisonous mouth.

The meaning of this poem is that the poet laments that he is too smart and has wasted his life. If he were a stupid person, he could become a noble without any disasters.

This is a satire on the civil and military officials, princes and ministers in the court as brainless fools.

The officials around looked at each other, their faces were so strange, they came to see Sun Shangshu laugh, but they were stabbed in the back out of the blue.

Don't mention how uncomfortable it is.

"Sangpo Case-Gift to Sun Shangshu"... He is satirizing my stupidity, satirizing that I am shooting myself in the foot... He wants to nail my name on the pillar of shame... Sun Shangshu's mind echoed with the name of the poem, and his heart was full of anger.

The most noble pursuit of scholars is to be remembered in history, which is more attractive to them than teaching and educating people. But at the same time, the more they desire to be remembered in history, the more they fear being infamous for thousands of years.

How can I bear this?

This is intolerable.

"Come here, capture this beast, capture it!!!" Sun Shangshu was so angry that he trembled all over, and his face turned red.

Because of his presumptuous attempt to kill the chief night watchman Xu Qi'an, the Sangpo case had this follow-up. I was already regretting and wanted to overturn the table, and at this time, the most unbearable thing was to add insult to injury.

And Xu Qi'an's poem was not a stone, but a mountain. Even a veteran official like Sun Shangshu was upset.

The people from the Ministry of Justice rushed up in unison to capture Xu Qi'an outside the imperial city.

"Lord Sun, calm down." Wei Yuan's calm and gentle voice stopped the angry people from the Ministry of Justice.

The big blue-clothed man walked over slowly and stood in front of Xu Qi'an.

"Wei Yuan, this boy slandered me in public and insulted a minister. He should be exiled according to the law." The Minister of Justice held back his anger and said word by word:

"Today, even if it is you, don't think of saving him."

"Slandering the minister is indeed a serious crime." Wei Yuan stared at Xu Qi'an sternly. Just when everyone thought he was going to scold the little Tongluo who was outspoken, he looked at Minister Sun seriously and said, "Telling the truth is not slander."

"You..." Minister Sun shook his body and pointed at Wei Yuan with a trembling hand.

Wei Yuan smiled and turned away. Xu Qi'an followed his father happily and got out of the siege of the Ministry of Justice.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again and turned back and shouted, "Congratulations to Minister Sun, your name is known all over the world and the Confucian scholars are famous." Minister Sun was stunned. After a few seconds, he couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

"Mr. Shangshu, Mr. Shangshu..." Everyone in the Ministry of Justice was panicked.

.....

Back at the government office, Xu Qiyan followed Wei Yuan into the Haoqi Building and poured tea for Wei Yuan and the two Jinluo.

"Duke Wei, there are a few things I don't understand." Xu Qiyan asked.

Wei Yuan is a strategist and a wise man. It is better to ask questions first than to guess blindly. It is just like asking teachers when you have questions in school, which is convenient and fast.

"Why does Your Majesty let the Ministry of Justice try this case?" Wei Yuan held the teacup and smiled faintly.

"There is only one stone of talent in the world, Duke Wei alone has eight buckets, and Yunlu Academy and I share one bucket." Xu Qiyan flattered.

"Puff..." Jiang Luzhong spit out a mouthful of tea.

Yang Yan's mouth twitched.

The faint smile on Wei Yuan's mouth quickly expanded, and it was obvious that he was very happy with Xu Qiyan's flattery.

This is how scholars are. You praise him: Wow, awesome, 666. He doesn't bother to pay attention to you.

But it doesn't mean that scholars don't like being flattered, they just need to change the way. Xu Qiyan's flattery is very accurate. He flatters Wei Yuan in a way that scholars like.

Wei Yuan is a very proud scholar.

"The Minister of Rites is a member of the Wang Party. If he is handed over to the night watchman's office for trial, a large number of Wang Party members will be implicated." Wei Yuan said.

At that time, the court parties will be unbalanced.....One or two dominances are not what Emperor Yuan Jing wants to see, which hinders his control of the court situation, especially when he has been practicing Taoism for many years... Even if the Wang Party colluded with the demon clan, blew up Sangpo and the Dharma image of the ancestors, compared with his own power, the ancestors are nothing... Xu Qiyan analyzed and extracted the core content from Wei Yuan's words.

Therefore, his impression of Emperor Yuan Jing was a few points worse.

Emperor Yuan Jing may be an emperor with superb means, but he is not a good emperor. Pseudo-historian Xu Qi'an divides emperors into three levels: wise emperors, mediocre emperors, and incompetent emperors.

A wise emperor is a good emperor who can make the people well-fed and well-clothed.

A mediocre emperor is an emperor who has no achievements and no great achievements. Most emperors in history belong to this category. In fact, for the people, a mediocre emperor who does not disturb the people is already a wise emperor.

An incompetent emperor who listens to villains and stays away from wise ministers usually makes the court and the country a mess.

Why don't tyrants be included? It's because the first three may all be tyrants.

In Xu Qi'an's eyes, Emperor Yuan Jing is a incompetent emperor, because as an emperor, he only has his own power and status in his eyes. The chaotic situation of party struggles in the court is actually caused by Emperor Yuan Jing.

He practices Taoism and does not care about the government, so he needs a chaotic court situation to consolidate his position. Otherwise, it is easy to be sidelined.

"There is another thing. I can't understand why the Minister of Rites didn't kill Zhou Chixiong to silence him." Xu Qi'an said.

I thought it must be the night watchman who came to interrogate the Minister of Rites, and I would ask him later, but I didn't expect Emperor Yuan Jing to be so showy.

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Don't worry about these small issues. The Sangpo case has come to an end. His Majesty didn't mention your case, which means it has been revealed."

Xu Qiyan laughed sincerely and immediately said: "I plan to invite my colleagues who cooperated with me in investigating the case to go to the Jiaofangsi for a drink, but I don't have money, please ask Lord Wei to allocate funds."

This is like a company has completed a performance, and everyone goes to a restaurant for a meal. Of course, the expenses are paid by the company.

Wei Yuan glanced at him: "Get lost."

After driving Xu Qiyan away, Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Yang Yan, you give him two hundred taels of silver as a reward from the government."

After that, he glanced at Jiang Luzhong and Yang Yan: "You two can go together."

Jiang Luzhong shook his head again and again: "Lord Wei, I won't go to a place like the

Jiaofangsi."

Yang Yan also shook his head.

Wei Yuan did not force it, and drank tea leisurely: "With him here, I guess there will be many

courtesans accompanying him."

...

As night fell, the lights in the Jiaofang Division were bright, and the sound of stringed instruments and wind instruments echoed melodiously.

In the Yingmei Pavilion, Fuxiang played the piano, Mingyan performed dances, and Xiaoya acted as the commander, a lively scene.

Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong were each accompanied by a charming courtesan to serve wine.

Xu Qian'an raised his glass and smiled, "Everyone, don't be restrained, eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink."

The copper and silver gongs were a little uncomfortable at first, after all, the presence of two gold gongs made them quite stressed.

But Jiang Luzhong was a veteran in the wine scene, and knew how to liven up the atmosphere. He kept raising his glass to signal, and even said dirty words, which was completely different

from when he was on duty.

Gradually, the silver and copper gongs let go. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

There were only two people on the scene who were serious and did not look like prostitutes at

all, Yang Yan and Li Yuchun.

"You two are indeed superiors and subordinates, with the same moral character." Jiang

Lvzhong joked with a smile.

"Jiang Jinluo's words are not right," Xu Qi'an drank a lot of wine and was a little drunk. He

boldly teased his two immediate superiors:

"Yang Jinluo is not interested in women, and the boss is too prudish. There is still a difference

between the two."

At this time, the atmosphere on the scene must be relaxed, and everyone laughed and filled

with a happy air.

They drank until 2:30 pm (9:30 pm), and the banquet finally dispersed. Jiang Lvzhong hugged the plump courtesan and left, while Yang Yan returned to the government office.

Li Yuchun also wanted to go back, but Xu Qi'an, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao desperately stayed and stuffed a pretty young lady into him and locked him in the house.

As the "host", Xu Qi'an arranged everyone properly before entering Fuxiang's room.

"Why are there so many people today?" Fuxiang, who had just finished bathing, sat cross- legged on the bed and wiped her black hair.

"It's to make sure the girls in the courtyard are in good order." Xu Qi'an took off his outer

robe and sword, turned around and left the room:

"I'll be back later."

He stepped slowly and tiptoed to Li Yuchun's room, and then saw Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao who were also sneaking around the corner.

Xu Qi'an signaled with his eyes: "Are you also here to eavesdrop?"

The two nodded and asked back with their eyes: "The boss is in the realm of refining spirits,

be careful, control your breathing..."

Finally, they slowly walked to the window of Li Yuchun's room and found that there was no

sound of rocking the bed, and a conversation came from inside:

"Master, I've finished washing, you go and wash."

"Hmm..." Li Yuchun replied in a slightly low voice.

After a long time, after washing, the woman's voice came: "Master, the quilt is warm, what

are you walking around in the room for?"

"The furnishings in the room are too messy, a mess, a mess. Staying in this room makes me feel like sitting on pins and needles." Li Yuchun said with great sorrow. "Ah?" The woman was stunned. "It's already very tidy. I clean the house every day."

"No..." Li Yuchun said seriously: "The teacups on the table should be around the teapot, keeping a certain distance... The potted plants by the window have been placed two inches to the left... The stools are too messy, they should be placed in the same way as the teacups around the teapot... Shouldn't the painting on the wall be hung in the center... The screen was tilted, I just put it straight... Well, your embroidered shoes are not neatly arranged..."

".... How can these be neat? Who can do it?" The woman said softly: "Master, I have been

waiting for you for a while."

Li Yuchun was unhappy when he heard it, and said in a deep voice: "Who said it can't be done?

Just watch and learn. I will teach you how to clean the house."

Woman: "???"

Under the window, Xu Qian'an and the other two were stunned.

Leaving quietly, Xu Qi'an was heartbroken: "Boss, you haven't got married yet?"

"Yes, you have."

"Why do you feel like a novice?" Xu Qi'an said.

"Isn't this your first time at the Jiaofangsi?" Song Tingfeng was a little bit unbelievable.

Although he had worked under Li Yuchun for many years, he didn't know much about his private life.

Xu Qi'an thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to the room and make a bigger noise." "Good idea." Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao thought this was a great idea. So, the rocking sound in Yingmei Pavilion was particularly intense tonight.
