Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 876 0871 [Qin Hui’s heroic spirit is inspiring]

Qin Hui is a person who wants to work hard to make progress. How can he contact a dismissed cabinet minister?
It’s too late to hide!
"Ms. Li, this business can't be done. My brother-in-law refuses to see you at all. He even scolded me and told me to stay away from you." Wang Huan said helplessly.

Wang Huan is Qin Hui's brother-in-law and the grandson of Wang Gui, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The cheap son raised by Qin Hui's family is Wang Huan's illegitimate son!
Wang Huan did not get an official position in the Ming Dynasty, but he had many old relatives in law who could help Qin Hui weave a network of relationships.

Li Bangyan smiled and said: "Why bother Shangshu Qin with some things? You and I can do it."

Wang Huan waved his hands repeatedly and said in a low voice: "It's not like you don't know that the court is tightening its grip. Selling land at low prices in violation of regulations can still be done in local areas, but who dares to do it in Luoyang? You will lose your official position at every turn, and things will get messy. If you get too big, you’ll lose your head!”

Li Bangyan asked: "It's been several years and the news hasn't passed yet?"

"That gust of wind has passed, but I don't know when the next gust of wind will come!" Wang Huan said.

"Understood," Li Bangyan took out a treasure note, "I still want to thank Brother Wang, and I can keep in touch in the future."

It's just a hundred guan of banknotes, the amount isn't big, it's purely for good luck.

"I know." Li Bangyan smiled.

It's not that he was lustful and insisted on getting one to take home. But why can't I get it home? Even his biological son must be raised outside?

If you want to sleep with a Bodhisattva, you must first win the beauty's favor. You can spend money like crazy, or rely on your talent and looks. Anyway, you have to talk about love first, and going to bed directly would be too out of style.

The Buddha statue had been moved away by the monks a long time ago, and the Bodhisattva could perform in the temple. The Buddhist temple perfectly fits the theme atmosphere.

……

"Finally back to my home again." Mrs. Wang sighed happily as soon as she arrived in the inner courtyard.

This temple has been outlawed for eight years and still has to be repaired.

After sending this guy away, Li Bangyan lamented alone.

Those who lend money are also very open-minded. The interest rates are so damn high!
It seems that we can only buy land through formal channels and make it bigger and stronger bit by bit.

First, I bought a small abandoned temple in the city. I didn't need to tear it down and rebuild it. I simply decorated it and it was ready for business.

Celebrities are entertained regularly and the number of places is limited.

He prospered in Hangzhou, but after all he failed when he came to the capital. Officials regarded him as the god of plague.

Wang Huan accepted it with satisfaction: "If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to me. Mr. Li is also a decent man, so I will help if I can. But there are some things that I definitely can't help with. After all, the Ming Dynasty is not the former Song Dynasty."

Qin Hui left Shangshu's official residence and returned to his private residence.

I only sell my art, not my body.

Li Bangyan took out a pen and paper and wrote the name of his brothel: Alan Ruo.

Li Bangyan personally visited the entire city of Luoyang and finally selected a smaller abandoned temple.

Ten days off.

The two Bodhisattvas who have been trained, as well as more than a dozen girls in training, together with a team of servants and musicians, all live in the monk's residence.

Regarding Bodhisattva Man, Qin Hui became angrier the more he thought about it.

He decided to show off his cards to his wife!

In order to show their diligence and integrity, he and his wife usually lived in the official residence of the minister.

The area there is not large, the decoration is simple, and it is very close to the imperial city, so it is impossible to enjoy it. Even having a few more servants would make it a bit crowded.

The maid had brought a deck chair, and Mrs. Wang lay down in the courtyard to enjoy the air.

Then a servant took ice from the cellar to make a cold drink and carefully brought it to Wang.

Mrs. Wang slept on a recliner and enjoyed cold drinks while two maids beat her legs and fanned her. After feeling aggrieved in the official residence for several days, Wang sighed with emotion: "This is how people live."

"You guys go out first." Qin Hui walked over slowly.

The servants did not move, but all looked at Wang.

Wang said: "Go down."

The servants then resigned and left.

Qin Hui stood with his hands behind his hands and mustered up the courage to say: "As a minister, it is not good to divorce my wife."

"What?" Wang thought she heard wrongly.

Qin Hui repeated it again.

"It's the other way around!"

Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly, pointed at Qin Hui and cursed: "Qin, you were originally from a poor household. You couldn't afford to rent a good house in Kaifeng! If it weren't for the dowry from my Wang family, you would have starved to death in Kaifeng." ...It’s true that you won the title of Maoke, but without the support of my Wang family, how could you be directly promoted to Imperial College? There were many people competing for that official position at that time!”

Qin Hui has been psychologically affected. His liver trembles when he hears his wife's behavior. He subconsciously takes two steps back and says, "This moment, that moment."

"Yes, you are now the minister of the new dynasty, and my Wang family has lost power a long time ago. Now it is my Wang family who is begging you..." Mrs. Wang said, suddenly burst into tears, "Why is my life so miserable? Marry. I gave him food and shelter to a poor and lowly Jinshi, and even asked my parents-in-law to get him an official position. In the end, when he became rich, he despised me for being an old man... wuwuwu~~~~"

Qin Hui bit the bullet and said, "You are a smart person and you should know very well."

"Of course I know it. You just think my Wang family is powerless and you want to divorce me and start a new family. I...I..." Wang rushed over, "I will fight with you!"

Qin Hui was afraid of being scratched on his face, so he quickly pushed Wang away and said angrily: "You are a shrew, you only know how to use strong words to make excuses, and you will act violently if you can't explain your lies!"

"You dare to fight back?" Wang showed an expression of disbelief, and then rushed forward even more frantically: "This life is over, I want to die with you!"

"Go away!"

Qin Hui kicked out and hit Wang's lower abdomen.

Mrs. Wang held her stomach in pain, squatted on the ground and said sternly: "Okay... okay... you want to divorce me, right? Just kill me. As long as I don't die, I will go to Dali Temple to sue you for corruption and perversion of the law! According to " "The Law of the Ming Dynasty", you will be beheaded, and I will be exiled. I am a female family member, and I am old, so I might be able to stay in Luoyang, you old man will definitely die!"

After hearing this, Qin Hui was really murderous.

He suppressed his anger and said: "I am the minister, and divorcing my wife will have bad consequences. Don't you understand?"

Wang understood this time and said in a cold tone: "What are you going to do?"

Qin Hui said: "You and I are still husband and wife, and you can continue to enjoy happiness. However, your brother, that bastard, can no longer live in my house. I, the Ming Dynasty Minister, can have children myself, so why should I raise a son for others?"

"You want to take a concubine and give birth to a child?" Mrs. Wang sneered, "You are like that. You can do it in just a few moments on the bed. Can you still give birth?"

Qin Hui said angrily: "I am only in my forties and in my prime, why can't I give birth?"

Wang was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qin Hui said: "From now on, you and I will still be a loving couple. But don't meddle in my affairs. I have to make the decision in this family. You can also report it to the official. The fish will die and the net will be broken, and no one will be pleased."

Ms. Wang was still silent. She was used to being domineering and could not bear this breath.

Qin Hui continued: "I have a son outside. I will raise them in the official residence. You and your close servants must move out of the official residence. During holidays, I will return to the private residence with you. How about inviting friends to a party?”

Wang did not agree.

As if nothing happened, she lay back on the chair, picked up a cold drink and continued eating. She even shouted outside: "Are everyone dead? No one is here to beat my legs when they are sore!"

Qin Hui smiled, feeling extremely comfortable.

If it weren't for the change of dynasty, with the Wang family's network, he wouldn't dare to be tough even if he became prime minister.

Long live the Great Tomorrow!

There are not many relatives of the Wang family who are officials now.

One is Meng Zhonghou, Qin Hui's brother-in-law and the husband of Wang's cousin.

Because of historical reasons, Ju Ming had a very good impression of Queen Mother Meng. Moreover, Meng Zhonghou also led the former Song Imperial Army and actively surrendered when Ju Ming took control of Tokyo, so this guy is doing well now.

As the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, Meng Zhonghou, who stayed in Kaifeng, has been promoted to the third-in-command of the Kaifeng police system.

There is also Zheng Yinian, the son of former Song Dynasty Prime Minister Zheng Juzhong, and the cousin of the Wang family.

Zheng Yinian was suppressed by Wang Fu and demoted to a local magistrate. But it was a blessing in disguise that after the fall of Kaifeng, he brought a state to join the Ming Dynasty.

It was considered a meritorious service anyway, so he was promoted back to the court and given a casual position.

In the last major national corruption case, Zheng Yinian managed to survive safely because he had no real power. Moreover, he was transferred to the outside world and was transferred to Shaanxi Province to become the governor with real power.

There is another man named Li Qiu, the father-in-law of Wang's younger brother, who is currently participating in politics in Hebei Province.

These three people do not hold high official positions, but they have many close relatives by marriage.

After relying on Qin Hui, he can also help Qin Hui weave a network of relationships.

There are similar people, such as Wang's brother-in-law Zhao Shipeng, who is also a local official. I won’t give examples one by one.

Qin Hui became minister, and his own relatives gradually moved closer.

Xu Fu, the former Taipu Temple Minister who was transferred by Ju Ming because he was not familiar with the full-time business, was the cousin of Qin Hui's cousin.

There is also a prefect in Fujian named Wang Yi, who is Qin Hui's cousin.

Among Qin Hui's brothers, one was a Jinshi and has now reached the fifth rank. Several others, through Qin Hui's operation, took the path of promotion as scribes and were promoted to eighth or ninth grade miscellaneous officials.

There are also Qin Hui's classmates and old friends who are willing to rely on him, and the highest level ones are already in the fourth grade.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were gradually controlled by Qin Hui for one-third.

In the household department where he once worked, several of his confidants who he personally promoted were also released.

Qin Hui also married his eldest brother's daughter to the son of a local official.

A small faction is taking shape.

The couple had a quarrel but quickly reconciled.

Qin Hui officially took the outer room as a concubine and moved into the official residence with his mother, son and servants. However, the Wang family moved out from the Shangshu's official residence with her loyal servants and lived honestly in a private house.

One wife and one concubine, do not interfere with each other.

The cheap son Qin Xi went back to the Wang family and changed his name to Wang Xi.

People feel refreshed when happy events happen. When Qin Hui went to work again, it was like a spring breeze.

Then he secretly took in two more concubines, hoping to have more children before he turned fifty.

Qin Hui didn't know that his brother Qin Zi, who was a Jinshi, was secretly embezzling and occupying land by building official roads and water conservancy.

Moreover, not a penny will be given to Qin Hui!
