Chapter 346.

Chen Li, that night, personally sat down at the Jin Yi Wei and ordered the hidden stakes in every place to be ready at any time.

Compared to Chen Li’s nervousness, Zhang Anshi looked much more relaxed.

In fact, Zhang Anshi already knew that everything had been finalized in a big way.

And now, it’s really just time to settle the score.

The next day, early in the morning, the city of Nanjing, still under an atmosphere of frustration.

There are too many readers living here.

They all had land in their own hometowns, and now King Zhu Chun of Shu had pulled such a stunt that gave birth to despair.

But despair was followed by a surprising amount of anger.

Taking a man’s property is like killing his parents.

Though checking the hidden fields would have been, by definition, inexcusable.

But the knife is on his neck, who cares ……… if he is not justified.

There are already many people who have begun to think privately about it.

Think of anything you want.

All in all, there’s just anger right now, and everyone has a nameless fire.

And this is by no means a joke, the entire capital city, as if piled up with dry wood, as long as there is the slightest spark, it is enough to ignite a blazing fire.

If they had any sense at all, the only ones who did were probably Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi.

His Majesty won the world immediately, and the generals and colonels are all loyal to His Majesty since they followed him to kill their way out of the war.

Zhang Anshi’s Model Battalion is also rumored to be unrivaled in battle.

Can’t beat it, really can’t.

At this time, in the State House.

Li Shimian, with a tired face and dark circles under his eyes, entered the State Prison on duty.

He is the State Prison Supervisor is very noble, in fact, the State Prison is not much to do, every day is to drink tea, look at the diary just.

But right now, he was in a bad mood.

He regretted it.

That King of Shu, Zhu Chun, really disappointed him.

If I had known that the king of Shu was like this, I would have ……

Li Shimian’s hometown, is in Hunan, but now he can’t help but worry.

Coming from a family of squires, the family’s main source of wealth is the field, if the future ……

He winced at the thought.

I heard that quite a few people have already started repairing letters to their parents and brothers at home, asking them to sell off some of their fields.

But Li Shimian couldn’t let go.

In this day and age, selling land is a matter of apologizing to one’s ancestors.

This one family, all seem to be like taotie, only in and out, always only thinking about how to annex the land, as long as the sale of land, in their view …… this is almost not even dare to think of the option.

Li Shimian walked into the duty room with a full heart, his mood was already bad, seeing that his tea had not yet been poured, so he lost his temper, called the clerks to him, and rebuked them bitterly, “Have they all broken their hands? What is the use of having them?”

The clerk was so frightened and trembling that he hurriedly bowed down and said, “Ten thousand deaths.”

Li Shimian droned without mercy, “Get out, get out ……”

This clerk’s face was like dirt, but he didn’t dare to say anything and could only retreat in a panic.

Li Shimian sat down behind the paperwork with an exasperated sigh, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

At this time, the more he thought, the more angry he felt, only wishing to eat the flesh of that damned king of Shu.

Compared to that King of Shu, even that Zhang Anshi has actually become clear-eyed.

He casually opened the diyu newspaper resting on his desk, and among the diyu newspaper, naturally, was the announcement about the Left Governor’s Office clearing the hidden fields.

He tossed the diary aside in annoyance; the news in it only made him feel angry.

Just then, someone outside said, “Superintendent Li, Superintendent Li.”

Li Shimian stood up and said in a deep voice, “What is it.”

The man was busy saying, “There is a decree, there is a decree.”

When Li Shimian heard it, his heart thumped, could it be that …… revenge is coming?

It didn’t matter to him, he had a straight face.

So what? If you are doing the right thing and sitting up straight, the big deal is, you can just depose him.

In this capital as an official, anyway, no fun, it would be better to go back to his hometown, groveling in the countryside, but also to avoid the capital to suffer these gas.

You should know that in this era, the level of official position is actually meaningless, and what people value is actually merit.

Li Shimian’s jinshi merit in, back to the countryside, the local parental officials naturally also respected him.

If he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, somehow it was actually more cozy than in the capital.

He sprinted out of the duty room, but he saw the lobby, where eunuchs were already waiting.

The eunuch smiled at him and saluted.

Li Shimian faintly said, “What is the decree?”

The eunuch only said, “When you receive the decree, you will naturally understand.”

Li Shimian nodded his head, so he bowed down and mouthed, “I, Li Shimian, accept the decree.”

The eunuch then said, “By the Emperor of Heaven’s Bounty, the edict says:”

Hearing this, Li Shimian’s face changed slightly.

He was actually a little surprised that it wasn’t what he expected.

Only to hear the eunuch continued: “I heard, not filial piety and friends is not enough to Dunben, not etiquette and righteousness is not enough to maintain the wind, the State Prison Supervisor Li Shimian, Poetry and books to set up training, loyalty and generosity to pass on the family, since joining the dynasty, conscientious and dedicated to their duties, more than one remonstration, really get my heart. This time I also heard …… Li Qing rule of the State Children’s Prison, well organized, great popularity, this edict Li Shimian into the position of the Secretary of the Taishang Temple, admirable.”

When Li Shimian heard this, he was even more dismayed.

He is from the fourth rank of the Supervisory Chancellor, and the Taishang Temple lesser secretary, it is completely into the six ministries and nine secretaries of the threshold.

This is a serious from the third rank, equal to all of a sudden, a promotion of two levels.

Not only that, the duties of the Taishang Temple, in fact, and the Ministry of Rites is a lot of overlap, it is in charge of the work of sacrifice.

In ancient times, do not underestimate the sacrifices, the so-called state of the matter, in the rituals and ron, sacrifices, to some extent, is a dynasty legitimacy of the fundamental.

Because of this, it is like the six ministries, although the Ministry of mandarins is regarded as the power of the dynasty, but the status of the Ministry of Rites, but also by no means under the Ministry of mandarins, the nine secretaries of state, the Taishang Temple is also the same.

The imperial court would be more strict in selecting the ministers and junior ministers who would preside over the sacrifices, because any stain on the person would mean disrespect to the heavens and the ancestors.

This is the same as, the emperor have recognized Li Shimian is the Qingliu of the Qingliu, the gentleman of the gentleman.

And the position of the young secretary, both touching the threshold of the nine ministers of the six departments, then in the future, no accident, may be the main secretary, or the ministers of the high position.

It was equal to Li Shimian’s life, which came to a huge stride.

Li Shimian froze because …… he couldn t understand, he was going against his majesty, but why did his majesty still pay so much attention to him?

Only now, his heart was in turmoil, but he could only first thank the grace to receive the decree.

After taking the decree, he still held it incredulously and looked at it again and again.

Only a few clerks came to congratulate him.

Immediately …… Li Shimian felt strange.

Because …… he found that the other colleagues, especially those who were extraordinarily familiar with himself in the past, but seemed …… to be nowhere to be found at once.

…………

“No way, no how ……”

In the Hanlin Academy, a man hurriedly rushed into the Chongwen Pavilion.

Here, many Hanlin are making repairs to the actual records, or organizing the decrees and former sangs.

The sound was so sudden that people looked up in dismay.

The visitor is a Lingnan Hanlin, this Hanlin is anxious, with a mouth of not quite standard official language said, “YIN Mao, YIN Mao ah …… ”

Someone’s face immediately pulled down when they heard that.

“Liu Xiuzhong, what …… you …… you say?”

“I said YIN hair ah, amazing YIN hair ah.” This Liu Xiuzhuang was in a hurry.

He continued, “It’s that gross, the gross that is set in motion, the gross that comes out, the gross that moves.”

“……”

In the Chongwen Pavilion, there was a deathly silence.

After a good half a minute, someone finally said, “Conspiracy? What conspiracy?”

This compiler anxiously said: “Aiya aiya …… you Department of hen la, His Highness the King of Shu …… into the capital …… is YIN hair. You know, that Li Shimian, and when the court pushed to let His Highness the King of Shu do the left governor of …… His Majesty have made an exception to give them a reward, you chicken chicken? That Li Shimian, the official promoted two levels, became the Secretary of the Taichang Temple. There is also that Wen Zhengxin, for all the Royal Historian, and …… hey ……”

The crowd was in a state of shock.

This writer said, revealing a face of pain, then said: “Now outside are saying, this is YIN Mao, that Shu Wang, has long been in collusion with Zhang Anshi, so they bought through the Li Shimian people, etc. …… let them in the court push, push Shu Wang His Highness! Their purpose, you chicken not chicken? You are to …… break the cultural lineage, to kill us which.”

It’s really a word to the wise.

Yeah!

Who ever thought at first, His Majesty the King of Shu came to do this Governor, which thought not even dare to think about.

It does not really matter even if the court pushes a person out at any court, and this person, even if he is pandering to His Majesty, supports the New Deal and wants to conduct a thorough investigation into the hidden fields.

After all …… all, this person is only a civilian minister, how dare he do things so absolutely? After all, this person is not Zhang Anshi, nor is he the king of Shu.

But now …… he has recruited the king of Shu, which is really stupid.

A life and death of the vassal king, the son of Taizu Gao emperor, the emperor’s own brother, iron will also want a new government, I heard that he also mobilized his Shu Wangwei to come.

If this wasn’t a deal, hell no.

Reconnect to ……

This Li Shimian and these other people who pushed for His Highness the King of Shu in the first place were suddenly rewarded with a favorable decree, and such a generous reward at that.

Then the truth …… is self-evident.

Then someone said angrily, “Darn it, thanks to the fact that, at first, I praised that Lord Li for his righteousness, we’ve been fooled!”

“Damn it, what Lord Li, this person, Li Dog, is unpardonable.”

“Aiya, you chickens are not chickens, how many people have been killed now? Many people …… don’t want to live, Li Shimian …… harmed people ……”

A stone has stirred up a thousand waves.

Now, the entire Hanlin Academy was abuzz, and the flames of anger burned brighter and brighter.

Many gnashed their teeth.

Even Hanlin, at this time, there is no Sven, some people angry eyes red, hate to directly curse.

Occasionally, mixed in with this cussing was the phrase, “Hang him mother.”

There was a lot of cursing in the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, it’s still just cursing.

After all, Hanlin are from all over the world into the capital as an official, and now at most they feel cheated, thinking of this treacherous sycophant so shameless, angry.

But those …… who are about to lose everything after they really start clearing the land and who were originally resentful and angry are now …… numb.

Lack of virtue, lack of great virtue ah.

Put on a loyal look, recommend Shu Wang, in fact, is the people used to get their own means of death, and at first, they are still stupid to see people praising Li Shimian these people for the people to do the Lord.

That Shu Wang …… everyone is definitely not able to mess with it.

But anyone with a tiny bit of brains wouldn’t dare to dip him a bit, this is after all a serious Prince!

But …… Li Shimian and these people are even more hateful.

These murderous things …… are now even promoted ……

Who can bear to think of them gloating at this point?

This is tantamount to some of these assholes, selling all their lives and families, and turning their heads, they are still grateful to say thank you to these assholes.

“Traitor of the State!”

“I do not share the same fate as this thief.”

On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there were red-eyed people everywhere, cursing endlessly.

Taking someone’s money is like killing their parents.

This is really going to steal everyone’s land.

But on the contrary, many people have held their breath and have nowhere to vent it.

Because, you can neither go to the Forbidden City to settle scores with the Emperor, nor can you go to that Emperor’s brother, the King of Shu.

Even Zhang Anshi …… this guy is like a hedgehog, not to mention that he is the wife and brother of the current crown prince, this guy s side will always have a number of clear guards, and the brocade guards are all over the place, everywhere to spy on anyone who wants to be unfavorable to Zhang Anshi.

And now …… the most hateful, it seems that it is no longer the king of Shu and Zhang Anshi.

For these two, hateful as they are, at least in themselves they stand against you.

The enemy is trying to get you, you can’t beat them, it’s called a willingness to bet.

But Li Shimian and these people …… are different, they are their own people!

The grief of being killed by one of your own is far beyond being killed by an enemy.

Throughout the capital, there was a sky-high rage that had nowhere to be vented.

Of course, there are also people who are calm, and hasten to say to the people around them, I see …… that this may be a plan of separation, and Li Gong is not such a person.

But how can anyone be calm at this point?

Not to mention the fact that no one can say what the truth is.

So …… the man who was called Calm was actually the first to be surrounded and beaten and pounded.

A group of red-eyed people are now like headless flies in the capital.

There were even many people who, unannounced, went to the State House.

Inside the State Prison, a group of officials and supervisors also rushed out, also cursing.

“Where is the Lee thief?”

“We are also looking for the Li thief; this thief, having obtained the decree, went to the Taishang Temple with joy.”

“Go ……”

…………

Li Shimian, as a rule, should first go to the Taishang Temple to order.

When he arrived at the Taishang Temple, unfortunately …… the Secretary of the Taishang Temple, who was his superior officer, did not see him.

At this time, Li Shimian felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because since he came within this Taishang Temple, the eyes of many people looking at him were a bit odd.

As an afterthought, Li Shimian seemed to start catching a little something.

He did his best, trying to start thinking deeply ……

It’s just a pity that …… whether he has figured it out or not, it’s not really of much use anymore.

At this time, outside the Taishang Temple, there was a lot of commotion.

Jin Yi Wei began to appear to take people, some of the readers who made trouble in the street, Jin Yi Wei directly take arrest.

This time …… many people who had come to hold to reason, or to curse, suddenly exploded.

There was a scholar, beaten by the jin yiwei, who cried out under his breath, “The Li traitors have sent the jin yiwei to beat up the people, and the Li traitors have sent the jin yiwei to kill them.”

Seeing the situation, that brocade guards gave a whistle and immediately retreated like a tidal wave and dispersed to nothing.

The local Jinyiwei Thousand Households occupies a high point on a distant street and scolds those who beat up the lieutenants: “It’s enough to beat up a few people to scare them, do you really intend to hit them hard? The Governor has explained that he is still counting on these sad and desperate scholars to be taken in! Don’t break them. Set up a defense at a distance and let them make a scene. As long as they don’t make a scene, let them make a scene.”

One of the lieutenants couldn’t help but say, “Thousand Households, I think this is bound to kill someone.”

Thousand Household glared at this new lieutenant and scolded, “Damn, that also has to be said when people are killed, he didn’t kill anyone, how do you know he’s going to kill someone, are you a roundworm in someone’s stomach?”

The lieutenant was so frightened that he couldn’t dare to utter a breath.

……

Li Shimian finally understood.

For …… he had heard a terrible thing from several clerks.

Zhao Wenjun is dead ……

Yes, it was the same Lord Zhao who had recommended the King of Shu with him in the court deliberations, and then heard that he had been promoted this time as well.

Just on the way to his appointment, he was surrounded and beaten by a group of people.

His attendants pulled him out of the pile with great difficulty; he had seven or eight broken ribs, and before the doctor could come, he simply died.

A bunch of readers …… They’re crazy.

And at that moment, he finally had it all figured out.

With a panicked face, he pulled a bookkeeper in a panic and said in a shaking voice, “I …… I didn’t collude with His Highness the King of Shu …… I didn’t …… ”

The clerk was startled and had to say, “Yes …… yes, Li Gong did not ……”

Li Shimian whitened his face and said, “I …… I …… have to explain to them …… I… …Quickly, quickly go and invite Zhengqing to come, I want to report.”

The clerk looked sympathetically at Li Shimian, hesitated, and finally said, “Chen Gong he …… sued for illness.”

“Ah ……” Li Shimian said with slightly widened eyes, “When did he …… he got sick… …”

“Before you go to your office ……, Li Gong,” the clerk answered honestly.

It all seemed to make sense to …… at this point.

True to form, the Secretary of the Taishang Temple would never stand under a wall of danger, and would never put himself in a dilemma.

Li Shimian said, “I’m staying here today, I don’t believe …… believe ……”

The clerk did not say anything, in fact, Li Shimian is already a high position for this clerk, and the status between the two can be said to be a world of difference.

But at this point …… the bookkeeper didn t even bother to go around this new young secretary.

“I want to …… I want to ask His Majesty …… to ask His Majesty …… No, the Brocade Guards . . where are the Brocade Guards, there is a rebellion here, the Brocade Guards should be invited to quell the rebellion.”

Li Shimian exclaimed, he tugged at the clerk and said, “You …… you quickly fix the book, tell people to send it to …… send it to the Southern Zhenfu Division, send it to the Governor Zhang Anshi, say that … . there is a rebel here …… quickly go ……”

The scribe only laughed, then forcefully broke Li Shimian’s hand tugging at his own, made a bow, and then ran away in a huff.

Li Shimian froze, and then as if all of a sudden, he sat down powerlessly in place, the whole person was dumbfounded, and in his mind, he was actually blank.

Reason told him that he couldn’t wash himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River now.

What’s more …… these people, pressed care is not the truth, what they want …… is actually just out of anger.

Think about it, he drummed up the wind and manipulated public opinion.

But who would have thought that it didn’t take long for it to backfire.

He is now left …… with a broken body, and now …… there is only nothing left.

He winced.

It …… was getting dark.

Many down values.

The officer of the Taishang Temple, who was off duty, indifferently walked out of the yamen, and then once he took off his black hat and official robe, he immediately mingled with many of the readers, and also roared after him, “Li traitors come out to suffer death.”

“If we don’t kill this traitor of the country today, where is the justice of heaven?”

……

The crowds are surging.

Everyone refused to disperse.

The more they waited, the less they felt chilled, and even felt their blood boiling.

All the worry, fear, and aggravation of so many days had now turned into rushing anger.

At that moment …… someone cried out, “Here comes …… him out ……”

At this moment, it was even more of a crowd commotion, many people cursing and swearing, their eyes overflowing with indignation, and some even began to clutch the stones in their hands.

“Hahahahahaha …… hahahahahahaha ……”

The man who rushed out from the Taishang Temple let out a wild laugh with reckless abandon.

He came out bouncing, clutching his oubliette and cloaked.

Someone exclaimed excitedly, “That’s right, this is this Li Shimian.”

The crowd was even more enraged at these words.

However, he saw Li Shimian continue to bounce out and laugh maniacally with his cape, “Yah, what are you guys playing at? You guys play with me.”

“……”

Li Shimian was still bouncing.

Just as someone hates to rush forward.

Li Shimian, however, was directly in front of everyone, and broadened his clothes, while …… starting to poop.

Bared ……

This silver light ran and pissed all over the reader in front of him.

This reader broke out in anger.

Li Shimian smiled cheekily, “Good evening, I’m no longer a child, I can go out at night too, take me out.”

“……”

Li Shimian did not copy his breeches, but only continued to bounce around as the crowd backed away.

He added, “Hot, so hot ……”

At that moment …… began to undress.

It didn t take long, directly stripped clean …… and then began to run wildly.

As if suddenly reacting from their daze, the crowd snapped, “Don’t let him get away.”

But who would have guessed that when he reached the street corner, Li Shimian suddenly paused, and then squatted down, staring at a pile of horse dung on the ground, and said with a smile, “Can I eat this? I haven’t had dinner yet.”

Crowd: “……”

Then they were treated to an unpleasant sight.

Many people just felt their stomach juices roll.

Li Shimian laughed out loud, his face showing his smugness, with certain dark things still remaining on his mouth, and shouted cheerfully, “Yummy, yummy …… really yummy …… You guys come and eat too, all of you! ……”

He said, naked …… and then gleefully toward the end of the street, running wildly.

Crowd: “……”

The brocade guards hiding in the shadows on the side were all speechless.

After a long time, that Qianhu frowned, as if thinking hard about something, and scratched his head, “Who is this guy …… he is emulating?”

Turning back, he saw that the lieutenants were all tense and silent.

“Ahem ……” Chito coughed, as if he had hit on some unspeakable secret.

…………
