Qian Song

...

"The lower official has a gold medal to avoid death, and the official family will not punish the lower official for spending two small money."

Qin Hui was taken aback by what Zhao Mingcheng said.

Qin Hui had never heard of Li Cun awarding such things as a gold medal for avoiding death, iron coupons for alchemy books, etc.

Furthermore, even if Li Cun distributed such things as death-free gold medals and Danshu iron coupons, wouldn't he distribute them to Lu Jiang, Zhang Shi and others, but to Zhao Mingcheng, what could Zhao Mingcheng do?How can you deserve to enjoy the highest treatment such as the death-free gold medal and the iron coupon of the book of pills?

Seeing the unbelief flashing in Qin Hui's eyes, Zhao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Does Mr. Qin think that the reason why the official welcomes Mr. Qin is because the official has something to ask of Mr. Qin?"

"Isn't it?" Qin Hui thought to himself.

Zhao Mingcheng seemed to know what Qin Hui was thinking, he said with a smile: "No, no, in business matters, I don't ask for anything from Mr. Qin, the reason why I welcome Mr. Qin warmly is because I appreciate Mr. Qin , this is also a thank you banquet."

Qin Hui suddenly became more confused, he thought to himself: "I helped Li Cun take your wife away, you don't hate me, but appreciate me, what's the reason?"

Zhao Mingcheng obviously guessed what Qin Hui was thinking, and he took the initiative to say: "Mr. Qin, do you know when the next official was reborn?"

"reborn?"

Hearing Zhao Mingcheng's question, Qin Hui couldn't help but look at Zhao Mingcheng carefully.

After sizing it up, Qin Hui was surprised to find that Zhao Mingcheng looked younger than before. The key point was that Zhao Mingcheng no longer looked as depressed, suffering, and Alexander as before, but had a positive and optimistic look.

"How did Zhao Mingcheng change so much?" Qin Hui wondered.

And if Li Cun was here, he might be more surprised than Qin Hui, because Li Cun knew that Zhao Mingcheng in history would die in at most one year, but judging by the current Zhao Mingcheng, there is no sign of dying at all?
Qin Hui tentatively asked: "Brother Defu's complexion is much better than before, I wonder if you can share with me the secret of brother Defu's health?"

Zhao Mingcheng said with a smile: "The secret of health preservation of the lower official is also simple, but the lower official is willing to teach it, and ordinary people can't learn it."

"Oh? So amazing?" Qin Hui said.

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Actually, there is nothing magical about the health-preserving secret of Xiaguan, it's just that there is a little green on the head."

"?"

Qin Hui thought to himself: "Did Zhao Mingcheng know something from Li Qingzhao? That's why he was so insinuating? It shouldn't be. How courageous Zhao Mingcheng would have to be to contact Li Qingzhao again? Besides, even if Zhao Mingcheng dared to contact Li Qingzhao, Li Qingzhao had to be willing." Contact Zhao Mingcheng. Judging from Li Qingzhao's attitude towards Zhao Mingcheng at that time, it should be that he wanted to keep away from Zhao Mingcheng. Then what does Zhao Mingcheng mean by accusing Sang and scolding Huai..."

Seeing that Qin Hui didn't speak, Zhao Mingcheng said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, don't misunderstand that this official is blaming Mr. Xianggong for helping the lower official reconcile with Yi'an Jushi. On the contrary, Xiaguan is really grateful for Xianggong's help. Leave."

Without waiting for Qin Hui to ask the reason, Zhao Mingcheng took the initiative to explain: "Xiaguan was born in a wealthy family, and he was quite talented in literature. When he was young, he was a famous gentleman in Kyoto. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by stars, okay? Happy, happy."

After a pause, Zhao Mingcheng continued in a complicated manner: "Until the next official brings Layman Yi'an back."

"Jie Yi'an was born in a scholarly family, and he is very beautiful and elegant. This should be a match made in heaven with the lower officials."

"Nevertheless, Layman Yi'an's refining place can win the dream window seat, and his beautiful place can directly participate in the class of pieces of jade. Gai Butu looks down on the woman, and wants to overwhelm the eyebrows. The wind and spirit are the best for a while, and he wants to be with the old fairy Baishi According to the advocacy, women who can speak have their own people, and there is no such thing as Layman Yi An's emptiness of the former and the latter."

"It's better to have too many subordinates."

"After marrying Layman Yi'an, although Layman Yi'an seldom went out, it still made the lower officials lose their self. Everyone knew that the lower officials were Yi'an Jushi officials, but everyone forgot that the lower officials were Zhao Mingcheng."

"To tell the truth, Mr. Qin, Xiaguan had a very miserable life at that time, and even feared to meet Layman Yi'an."

Speaking of this, Zhao Mingcheng's tone suddenly became more relaxed: "Until the Xiaguan reconciled with Yi'an Layman, by the way, and the Xiaguan faced up to the matter of his infertility, the Xiaguan was relieved all at once."

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Mingcheng lowered his voice and said to Qin Hui again: "For a woman like Lay Yi'an, don't say that officials are ashamed of themselves in front of her, and so are others. hold her."

Hearing what Zhao Mingcheng said, Qin Hui, whose mood was a little messed up, rarely asked what he really wanted to ask:

"Brother Defu, don't you blame the officials for taking away Layman Yi'an and making Brother Defu a laughingstock?"

As soon as this remark came out, Qin Hui felt a little regretful for clarifying these words that everyone can only comprehend but not express.

When Qin Hui wanted to come, it was like saying to Wang, "I want to give birth to you, but the problem is, you have to let me give birth!" It was almost like adding salt to Zhao Mingcheng's wound.

Therefore, Qin Hui wanted to explain that he, who is especially sympathetic to Zhao Mingcheng now, really didn't mean to humiliate Zhao Mingcheng.

Who would have thought that Zhao Mingcheng smiled openly, and said indifferently, "Strange? It's too late for the officials to thank His Majesty. How can you blame Your Majesty."

Qin Hui thought that Zhao Mingcheng said this because he did not dare to speak ill of Li Cun.

No, Zhao Mingcheng's next words dispelled Qin Hui's thoughts:

"Look, Mr. Qin, how well the officials are living now. The mansion is beautiful and the maids are delicious. They spend their free time fishing on the Bixi River, and suddenly come back to the boat to dream of the sun. They are not as happy as before, and all of these are due to your majesty. gift."

Qin Hui has a lot of eyes and ears in the court, and these coastal port cities are under Qin Hui's jurisdiction. Therefore, if there is any major event in the court, especially in these coastal port cities, it is impossible to hide it from Qin Hui.

In Qin Hui's impression, Li Cun did not give Zhao Mingcheng any special rewards.

But what Zhao Mingcheng has now doesn't look like a fake.

"Is it true that as Zhao Mingcheng said, he has the gold medal for avoiding death, and then Li Cun acquiesced to this kind of thing with the money he obtained by using the gold medal for avoiding death by taking advantage of his position?"

After thinking about it, Qin Hui realized that this was the only possibility.

Zhao Mingcheng went on to say: "The official family has a kind heart. After accepting Layman Yi An, they couldn't bear the subordinate officials, so they sent the subordinate officials to Guangzhou for a general sentence. The following year, Guangzhou was promoted from a state to a government. An inch of merit has not been achieved, but it has been promoted to a rank."

"The official family treats the subordinate officials like this, and the subordinate officials will naturally tie the grass and tie the ring, in order to repay the imperial family's great kindness."

Hearing this, Qin Hui was confused again.

According to what Zhao Mingcheng said, Zhao Mingcheng wanted to repay Li Cun for helping him take away Li Qingzhao who made him Alexander, and let him serve as a judge with real power in the affluent Guangzhou. He should help the prefect of Guangzhou to govern Guangzhou, but Zhao Mingcheng is now in Guangzhou Corruption is rampant here, and it is not covered up.

What's the point of this?
Zhao Mingcheng didn't keep Qin Hui confused for too long, so he took the initiative to say: "There are many talented people in the government to govern the world for the government, just like Xu Cai, the prefect of Guangzhou, who is not only skilled in government affairs, but also conscientious. He must be the pillar of the country. also."

While talking, Zhao Mingcheng poured wine for him and Qin Hui, and asked the beautiful maid to remove the dried fruit and serve a good meal, and then the two drank freely, and Zhao Mingcheng said to Qin Hui: "If you can do what a subordinate official can do, save it." Your Majesty is famous..."

Following Zhao Mingcheng's narration, Qin Hui realized that Zhao Mingcheng's corruption, and he did not shy away from it, was actually polluting himself.

The reason is simple.

Li Cun robbed Zhao Mingcheng's wife Li Qingzhao, no matter what, it's easy to say it's not good.

But if Zhao Mingcheng ruined his own reputation, it would be different.

you think.

If others mentioned Zhao Mingcheng and gritted their teeth, they would definitely say that Zhao Mingcheng deserved to be the living king, and His Majesty should take away the wife of this corrupt official and villain. If Li Qingzhao followed Zhao Mingcheng, he would be blind for nothing.

Also, Zhao Mingcheng is so corrupt, Li Cun turned a blind eye to Zhao Mingcheng because he was "ashamed" of Zhao Mingcheng, which shows that Li Cun has a bottom line in doing things and will not easily kill people. But there is still salvation, which will make it easier for the courtiers to accept this "mistake" made by Li Cun.

In addition to what Zhao Mingcheng said, Qin Hui also realized something, that is, what Zhao Mingcheng did was actually for self-protection.

Zhao Mingcheng purposely ruined his own reputation. Here in Guangzhou, he bullies men and women, covets money, appoints young men, and persecutes Zhongliang.

Qin Hui sent people to inquire about the bad things Zhao Mingcheng had done in the past few years, and he couldn't finish talking about them for three days and three nights.

for example.

It is said that Zhao Mingcheng's pet dog was lost, and Zhao Mingcheng actually asked everyone in Guangzhou to help him find the dog. Zhao Mingcheng even asked a lot of painters to draw portraits of his pet dog, and then posted them on the streets and alleys of Guangzhou. They were everywhere, and later people found all the dogs that looked similar in the city and asked Zhao Mingcheng to identify them.

In the end, Xu Cai had no choice but to send people to bribe the people around Zhao Mingcheng to persuade Zhao Mingcheng, and the matter stopped.

Qin Hui never expected that Zhao Mingcheng would be so arrogant.

Qin Hui had known Zhao Mingcheng for almost ten years, and he would never believe that Zhao Mingcheng would be so bad.

Soon, Qin Hui understood that Zhao Mingcheng was so bad, he was bad for the people of Guangzhou, for the people of the Daqian Dynasty, and even more so for Li Cun.

Let's put it this way, what Zhao Mingcheng is most afraid of now is that he will win people's hearts and make others sympathize with him and pity him. If this is the case, others will say that Li Cun is too stupid to steal the wife of a courtier.

To be honest, most people would not go to research whether Zhao Mingcheng was Song Chen when Li Cun slept with Li Qingzhao.

And if Zhao Mingcheng's relationship with the masses is extremely poor, all the ministers of the Daqian dynasty hate Zhao Mingcheng, they all hate Zhao Mingcheng, and even the literati scold Zhao Mingcheng, then no one will sympathize with Zhao Mingcheng, and Zhao Mingcheng is bad, Li Cun naturally Just good.

The key point is that Zhao Mingcheng also handed over the handle of the knife to Li Cun, so that Li Cun can kill Zhao Mingcheng at any time, so that Li Cun can feel at ease with Zhao Mingcheng.

Therefore, when Zhao Mingcheng did bad things, it was carefully planned by Zhao Mingcheng.

The more Qin Hui thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Mingcheng was brilliant.

Thinking hard.

As far as Zhao Mingcheng's current role is concerned, he always wants to do good things and accumulate a good reputation for himself.

I'm sorry, Zhao Mingcheng is looking for death.

On the contrary, Zhao Mingcheng does not do good things, eats, drinks and plays every day, is domineering every day, dares to be shameless, dares to ruin his own reputation, and dares to use his legacy for thousands of years to whitewash Li Cun.

Let me ask, how could Li Cun kill such Zhao Mingcheng?

Therefore, what Zhao Mingcheng said was correct, he did have a gold medal for avoiding death.

This gold medal for avoiding death is not only the result of Li Cun taking Li Qingzhao from Zhao Mingcheng, but also the result of Zhao Mingcheng's own management.

It can be said that as long as Zhao Mingcheng doesn't die himself, Zhao Mingcheng will live happily until he dies.

Qin Hui was completely enlightened.

Qin Hui felt that he also had to do something bad to make Li Cun feel at ease.

Qin Hui even felt that perhaps only in this way could he realize his political ambitions.

Qin Hui's thinking like this is not aimless.

In the power structure of this era, if a minister always wants to do good deeds and accumulate a good reputation for himself, then you are Wang Mang.

You know, before Wang Mang usurped the Han, he was famous all over the world.

Moreover, Qin Hui, who was smarter than Zhao Mingcheng, also summed up two more important ways to protect himself.

The first one is that Qin Hui must show his talents more.

Otherwise, Qin Hui felt that he would soon join forces with Zhao Mingcheng, who was not popular.

This is something that Qin Hui, who has an extremely strong desire for power, cannot accept anyway.

Therefore, after Li Cun made Wang's pregnant, Qin Hui not only could not slack off in his duties, on the contrary, he had to do better.

In this way, Li Cun would not have an excuse to replace Qin Hui.

The second is that matters related to the emperor must not be taken lightly, and must be extremely careful and cautious.

Zhao Mingcheng is the best example.

If Zhao Mingcheng hadn't been smart enough, then Zhao Mingcheng's life would not be the life in heaven, but he might have disappeared from this world.

If you think about it, for an emperor like Li Cun, if he wants to kill a person, or even let this person die for thousands of years, there may be ten thousand ways, and Li Cun doesn't need to do it himself.

After thinking about this, Qin Hui's back was soaked in sweat.

"I almost asked for my own death!"

Qin Hui hurriedly finished his official duties in Guangzhou and returned to his home in Quanzhou.

Unlike the fact that he almost didn’t give Wang a divorce letter before he left, when he came back this time, Qin Hui not only brought a lot of special products to Wang, but also bought a lot of delicious and fun things for Wang’s future children .

In addition, Qin Hui also bought more than [-] smart maids and mothers-in-law to serve Wang.

What's more, Qin Hui used his power to buy a large house site at a low price in the city of Quanzhou, where every inch of land was expensive, and planned to build a mansion that was bigger and more luxurious than Zhao Mingcheng's mansion.

Wang advised Qin Hui: "The so-called wealth is not revealed, and the officials act like this, fearing that catastrophe will be imminent."

Qin Hui smiled and said to Wang: "Madam, you don't understand the truth. When there is a chance, Qin Hui will talk to Madam in detail."

Although Qin Hui was very polite when he said he wanted to tell Wang the reason, but Wang could see that Qin Hui had begun to alienate her.

This is not difficult to see from the fact that Qin Hui's address to her changed from "Lady" to "Madam", and when Qin Hui deliberately separated the east and west when building a new mansion, and built two houses.

Wang understands that although Qin Hui chooses to forgive her, her marriage is still in name only.

At the same time, Qin Hui wrote another memorial to Li Cun, expressing that his wife was pregnant, and hoped that Li Cun could give his future child a name to show the mighty grace of the emperor.

Soon after, Li Cun issued an imperial edict to Qin Hui.

There is only one word in this decree - "Hazel"...
