Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 714 "Qing Qianlong (Knot)"

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Outside the high mansion, lanterns are still hanging happily.

The Lantern Festival lasted for five days, and different lights were put on every day. It was also the choice of some wealthy families.

Among the dozen or so people hanging the lanterns, the most eye-catching one was Gao Qiu, who was wearing a scarlet robe. He climbed up the ladder himself, hung up the lanterns, and his face wrinkled with a smile.

Gao Lian secretly observed his cousin's face, and found that the other party's smile was genuine, and couldn't help being very surprised.

After Gao Qiu came down, he clapped his hands and turned to his cousin: "Why, I can't figure out why I'm in such a good mood because those scholar-bureaucrats are taking credit for me?"

Gao Lian found that the elder brother was becoming more and more perceptive, so he didn't dare to quibble, so he could only nod his head: "Brother Yu really doesn't understand."

Gao Qiu took the only cousin in the family who could help him to the side, and said earnestly: "The matter of getting rid of eunuchs is very sensitive, I don't want this kind of credit, and I care more about the trust of the officials. What the scholar-bureaucrats did was exactly what I wanted."

"Look, although I haven't caught Lan Congxi yet, the officials have already ordered me to be re-appointed as the Imperial City Secretary. In comparison, what use is the prestige of the Xunjie Party?"

"The influence of the Imperial City Division has to go out from the capital and reach the states and counties. This is the goal we are working hard for!"

Gao Lian suddenly realized: "Big brother said, we want to be bigger and stronger, and create greater glories!"

Gao Qiu reminded: "Although we are at home, when we talk about official business, we still have to refer to our position!"

Gao Lian: "..."

When I become a high official in the future, I must call them uniformly!

Gao Qiu repeatedly emphasized that seeing this cousin still didn't understand what he meant, and he called out a few more times to listen, he was still a little disappointed.

However, he turned his eyes and landed on the "Jifu" in front of his own gate, and suddenly let out a light snort: "Whose famous assassin is that?"

Compared with the front gate of the civil official's mansion, every year and festival, the "Jiefu" is always full of famous stabs. Gao Li, the chief of the Imperial City Department, has been neglected so far, and no scholar-bureaucrats are willing to come and go.

But at this moment, he actually saw a beautifully crafted name badge in it, and it didn't look like he had to vote indiscriminately, so he couldn't help being curious: "Go and take a look!"

Gao Lian walked over quickly, took the name thorn and unfolded it: "The name of the candidate is Cai Jing, with long characters, and he did not declare himself an official position. It sounds familiar..."

Gao Qiu raised his brows: "This scholar Cai is not ordinary. He used to be a waiter in Longtu Pavilion and knew Kaifeng Mansion. If his younger brother Cai Bian was not in charge of the Privy Council, he was blocked by Zeng Bu on the grounds that he could not be promoted at the same time. Now he said Maybe it's fair."

Gao Lian wondered, "Such a capable minister actually came to visit Eldest Brother...to visit Gao Tiju?"

"Let's call him Big Brother at home from now on!"

Gao Qiu was also very awkward when he heard it, and after correcting it, he explained: "After the official ascended the throne, Cai Yuanchang was demoted. He originally wanted to go out of Beijing to know Taiyuan. I have been demoted again and again, and I am going to Jiangnan to take up my post."

Gao Lian understood: "Once the eunuch party is eliminated, the officials who used to deal with those eunuchs will be implicated. It seems that Cai Jing wants to join the eldest brother?"

"Will these people trust me?"

Gao Qiu was a little hesitant. After all, the other party was born as a Jinshi. He was also highly valued in Shenzong and Zhezong, and was highly praised by Wang Anshi. Now, although he is down and out, he has come to rely on him, the Imperial City Secretary, is the bottom line too low? ?
However, thinking that Mr. Lin asked him to recruit more talents, the current manpower is indeed far from enough, Gao Qiu nodded and said: "Since this Cai Yuanchang is the first civil servant to vote for a famous assassin, we still have to give him a chance, let him... wait, What time is it now?"

Gao Lian said: "Three quarters before the hour."

Gao Qiu immediately handed the badge to his younger brother: "Let Cai Jing wait, Mr. Lin is leaving Beijing, I'm going to see him off!"

Gao Lian was puzzled: "Mr. Lin is really going to leave? He is famous now, and he is also known as Sui'an Academy. If he didn't take the opportunity to recruit a group of disciples, wouldn't it be a pity to leave like this?"

Gao Qiu said with a smile: "If ordinary things affect the original plan, then it's not Mr. Lin, prepare your horse!"

……

"The reason why a gentleman is a gentleman lies in his noble character and unconventional aspirations. This is exactly what Sui'an layman is like!" It was also a beautiful talk!"

"When you send off the dean later, do you know what to say?" "Study hard! Do more papers!"

When Gao Qiu rode his horse and galloped out of Kaiyuanmen, before arriving at Jinming Lake, he found that the farewell party had already arrived, but the two groups of people were completely different from each other.

A group of scholars of all colors came here admiringly, gearing up, preparing to use poems and works to make famous scholars famous.

The other group was all college students, all of them were holding the test papers, their eyes were focused, and they were going to use practical actions to reassure the dean.

Gao Qiu naturally went towards the academy students.

Seeing that Gao Qi, who has been notorious in the scholastic circles recently, is almost equated with fame-seeking and traitor-like loyalty, the literati showed strange expressions. Although they did not point and point in person, the hostility in their eyes Still clear at a glance.

Gao Qiuli ignored him, went to the academy, rubbed this student's head, tugged at that student's test paper, and managed to get the dislike from this side after a while.

Fortunately, at this moment, a carriage arrived, which attracted everyone's attention, especially the old man who got off the carriage, which was even more moving.

"Is it Duke Fan?" "It's really Duke Fan!"

The scholars showed excitement.

This Shangshu Youcheng is still a deputy prime minister now, but it is a sure thing to become a real minister in the future. It is really a good thing that they have been waiting here early to be able to appear in front of a prime minister.

There was also commotion in the academy. Many of the newly hired professors showed excitement and wanted to come forward to greet them, but the students were still staring at the test paper in Gao Lian's hand with burning eyes.

Gao Qiu laughed, first handed back the test paper, and then took the initiative to greet him: "Fan Youcheng!"

Fan Chunli's expression was flat: "High lift."

Gao Qiu said directly: "Does Mr. Xiang feel guilty, thinking that Mr. Lin left the capital because he was avoiding the cusp of the storm?"

Fan Chunli looked at him with more vigilance, and said in a deep voice, "Please lift yourself up."

Gao Qiu understood that this was because he was afraid that he would harbor resentment and cause trouble at the farewell ceremony outside the city, so he said calmly, "Fan Youcheng not only doesn't understand me, he also doesn't understand Mr. Lin, he wouldn't be someone who ran away because of this, he left Beijing early It's decided... that's all for now, let's say goodbye!"

After all, he clasped his fists and rode away.

Fan Chunli frowned slightly, cupped his hands, and continued to wait.

A quarter of an hour later, a long convoy came out from Kaiyuanmen.

Those who left Beijing this time were not only Li Yan and the heroes of the academy, but also his mother Li Shi who was planning to reunite with Lin Yuanjing, Li Gefei's family wife Wang Shi, daughter Li Qingzhao, and son Li Hui.

Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, was ready to resign and go home after experiencing the thrilling coup attempt, but he did not resign so quickly. He decided to send his family away first and return to his hometown Zhangqiu, Qizhou.

Zhangqiu in Qizhou is the Jinan of Shandong in later generations. Shandong and Hebei were originally the destinations for Li Yan's trip. Li's mother also asked him to take care of this distant relative before and agreed to go with him.

In addition to this family, there are also the employees of the Fanlou branch such as Aunt Yan and Shishi, the stewards and craftsmen of the book printing workshop of the Houjiang Guild, and the management personnel assigned by the Shangqiu Guild.

There are all kinds of people, there are about three to four hundred people, Li Yan simply contacted Zhou Tong's Yuquan Gym, and introduced some good bodyguard masters to prevent robbers on the road, and just got enough five hundred people to go on the road.

Seeing such a team with such a strong atmosphere of life, the scholars were stunned. This is a completely different style from the imaginary confidantes who go on the road in twos and twos. Fan Chunli realized that it is really Gao Li who knows this person better After pondering, he ordered the coachman to come forward.

Soon, Yiqi rode over from the convoy, and it was Li Yan who took the initiative to meet him.

Fan Chunli looked at this great talent who had repeatedly rejected the official, and now resolutely left the capital, and comforted him: "Erlang is loyal to the family, and has his own character. He cherishes this trip all the way, and hopes that when he returns, he can serve as an official in the same dynasty and serve him well." The imperial court!"

Li Yan saluted: "Thank you Fan Gong for sending me off!"

When the two were talking, a group of scholars watched eagerly, wanting to move forward, but they didn't dare to be rude.

Finally, Fan Chunli left, and Gao Qiu seamlessly connected, and came to him: "Mr. Lin, if it wasn't for the affairs of the capital, I really want to go to Daming Mansion with you!"

Li Yan smiled: "There will be opportunities in the future. I also hope that in Hebei and Shandong, you can hear the name of Qingtian."

Gao Qiu rubbed his hands excitedly: "There will always be a day when the Imperial City Secretary will go out of the capital, go all over the prefectures and counties, and listen to Mingyuan, the frontier war, and everything will be known!"

Li Yan said seriously: "Take care!"

Gao Qiu's eyes were slightly red, and he clasped his fists heavily: "Take care!"

When Gao Qiu left, the Academy came forward again, led by Jiang Jing and Cao Zheng, and An Daoquan also came over, Qi Qi said: "Brother!"

In the Suian Academy in Bianjing, Li Yan left these two for development. While An Daoquan took care of the Suian Medical Center, he could also come to the academy to take care of him from time to time.

For these three, Li Yan has already told a lot before, but there is no need to say more. He patted them on the shoulder, and then came to a group of sobbing children, and gently stroked their heads: "My husband is not without tears, and he does not shed parting time." ,study well!"

"Dean, take care, we must study hard and do more papers!!"

"OK!"

Li Yan smiled freely, and returned to the convoy without delay.

Regardless of whether they were sent off by each other or came here for nothing, they all stood in place and watched the convoy march to the distance.

And the tall and straight figure who swept Wuyou, opened the academy, captured the cult, and punished the party, clasped his fists at the end of the official road, turned around freely, and rode his horse towards the wider and great rivers and mountains.
