Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 65 Yan Xiyao’s sincere advice to Wang Xifeng received a golden lock

Impeach?

How could he be impeached by the imperial censor because he was only a mere scholar?Moreover, Yan Xiyao was the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the censor's official was not under his control.

Could it be that the censor was a disciple of Yan Xiyao?

Li Weijian's face remained unchanged, but after careful consideration, he suddenly felt something was wrong.This bullet sounds scary, but in fact it can scare people, so what can it do to him?
Moreover, Yan Xiyao has always been ruthless in doing things. He either doesn't do it or does it absolutely.This kind of painless impeachment really doesn't look like Yan Xiyao's handiwork.Thinking about the time when he sang the double act before, he first threatened himself, then turned around and threw a thigh... Li Weijian thought for a long time, and he felt more and more that Yan Xiyao seemed to be testing himself.

Thinking about this, Li Weijian showed a smile on his face, tentatively cupped his hands and said, "Sir, don't scare the students. You know, students are really annoyed these days, and most of them hide at home every day."

Yan Xiyao said with a half-smile but not a smile: "That stock changed hands a lot?"

"Yes, people are so sophisticated that they can't escape it. At first, they didn't realize it, but after buying hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, the student became worried. The stock was changed hands for 160 million taels, of which the student had already paid 100 million early this morning. The reward is given to the saint.”

Yan Xiyao stroked his beard and stared at Li Weijian, speechless.

Li Weijian looked at it secretly, and then said: "The student just happened to be wandering around accidentally and came across a calligraphy and painting——"

"Hahaha..." Yan Xiyao smiled and shook his head: "Don't talk about your calligraphy and painting. As soon as you left, the shopkeeper came looking for you - 10 taels - the shopkeeper was afraid that you wanted to rescue King Dongping. Ah." As he spoke, Yan Xiyao took out a thick stack of banknotes from under the desk and threw them on it, saying, "Count them and take them back quickly."

"what?"

Yan Xiyao smiled and said: "Don't pretend to be stupid anymore. I have tested it several times, so how can I not know the true meaning with my resurrected mind?"

Li Weijian thought for a moment, then stepped forward and put the banknote into his cuffs.Yan Xiyao waved his hand, and Li Weijian took the opportunity to sit aside.

I heard Yan Xiyao say: "I won the Jinshi in my youth. Although I have many disciples and former officials, there is no one who can pass on the mantle. I have two sons, the eldest son is stupid and the second son has no intention of officialdom. In the blink of an eye, I have to know the destiny and always have to do it. It’s for the sake of your future.”

While speaking, Yan Xiyao looked over with stern eyes.

Li Weijian thought to himself, it is indeed the case.But he secretly complained that Yan Xiyao went through too much trouble to find a political heir.

I heard Yan Xiyao say again: "Resurrection is wise and resourceful. When faced with big events, he is not alarmed. When he gets huge profits, he is not arrogant. He has his own plans in his heart, and his grudges are clear. It is expected that I will treat Resurrection sincerely, and he will take care of me one day after resurrection." It’s something.”

"This... Your Majesty is ridiculous."

"Where is the absurdity?" Yan Xiyao said seriously: "I betrayed you on purpose, and you dealt with it afterwards. Aren't you just calm about everything? I introduced you to the saint, and you made a statement in front of him. Wasn't it because you had a plan in mind? What's more? The last ten percent, if it were anyone else, they would rather offend the saint than to keep it in their pocket, but they would not be stingy when they were resurrected, which shows that they have a sophisticated mind."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "The student is staying in Jia's house, but he doesn't hesitate to sell Xue Pan. I'm afraid he can't afford to have a clear distinction between grudges and grievances, right?"

"What do you think of relatives who are beyond your reach? Li Shouzhong's daughter only took care of you for a year, and you just transferred a share of her shares this time. Isn't this a clear distinction between grudges and grievances?"

Feeling that nothing he did could escape Yan Xiyao's discernment, Li Weijian admitted it, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, your discernment is as sharp as a torch, and the students admire it."

"Are you still calling me Sir at this moment?"

Li Weijian no longer hesitated, stood up and bowed to the ground respectfully: "Student Li Weijian, I have met my mentor!"

"Okay, come back and sit down quickly." Yan Xiyao was greatly relieved.

After the name of teacher and student was decided, Yan Xiyao smiled more and more cheerfully. He looked at Li Weijian and said, "Fan Tiaochen has done everything before resurrecting, which shows that he can do his job. After autumn, may he have the intention of entering the court?" ah?"

"grown ups--"

"Hey?"

"Teacher," Li Weijian said, "Chen Duxian is about to enter the capital. In such a turbulent time, the student is just a practical scholar, so it is better to keep a low profile and bide his time."

"Oh? Not going to court?"

"Entering the court is just a chore, why not go into the inner palace and do some real things."

Yan Xiyao was more and more appreciative and said: "This puts me at ease. Reformers in the past dynasties rarely have a happy ending. If he resurrects and enters the dynasty at this time, his ability will definitely fall into the eyes of Chen Hongmou. When the reform is successful, I am afraid that he will be resurrected." At that time, everyone in the dynasty was an enemy.

The saint is now in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, but everything is subject to eventuality.When this saint is around, he will pity the ability of resurrection, and he will naturally be able to preserve his resurrection.But once the saint is gone... and the new king comes to the throne, I'm afraid he will have to be resurrected to bring peace to the world. "

These remarks were sincere, and Li Weijian was determined, secretly thinking that Yan Xiyao would not lie to him again this time.Because he said casually: "The student also thought about it in this way, so he decided to avoid going to the inner palace. Besides, students can show their talents better in the inner palace. I'm afraid the things they do may not be smaller than those in the outer court."

"Oh? Could it be that the resurrection has another plan?"

Li Weijian smiled and nodded, and then stated the follow-up plan on the previous terms.This plan is extremely simple. With our volute water pump, its suction and lift are far higher than those of previous water pumps. The abandoned Xishan coal mine in Wannian County can naturally be mined again.

During these days, the inner palace led by King Zhongyong had already spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy all the abandoned mines and many nearby coal mines.In this way, the imperial government controlled the coal supply to the capital.

Subsequently, whether it is briquettes or heating systems, the coal consumption in Jingshi will increase dramatically.When the shares of Jingxi Coal Mining Company are released in winter, wealthy people will flock to the company.

After hearing this, Yan Xiyao sighed and said: "Resurrection has such great power, why worry about not being able to use it in great ways in the future?"

"The teacher is overly praised, but the student is just a little thoughtful."

"Young people should be arrogant when they should be proud. Why should Fusheng be too humble in front of me?" After a pause, Yan Xiyao asked: "I wonder if Fusheng will have great ambitions in the future?"

Li Weijian blinked, raised his hands and said, "My teacher thinks too highly of his student. The student didn't lie just now. He was really obsessed with learning and creating things. If learning and creating things based on reality can make my country prosperous and strong, and not subject to foreign aggression, this life of the student will be enough." "

Yan Xiyao nodded and said: "Neither arrogant nor impetuous, down-to-earth, I was not wrong." After a pause, he said: "Since you have joined my disciples after being resurrected, teachers should always give you some warning."

Li Weijian leaned forward and said, "Teacher, please speak."

"It is better for nobles like the Jia family to stay away from each other in the future. It should be noted that the more forbearing the saint is, the more powerful he will be when he breaks out in the future."

Seeing Yan Xiyao's words being so serious, Li Weijian frowned. Why did he feel that in Yan Xiyao's eyes, the Jia family had already become bones in the grave, as if the outcome was not as simple as confiscating the family?Yan Xiyao added: "Ten years ago during the mutiny, Yu Chengdong came from the Jia family's personal soldiers; Jia Jing was previously the prince's attendant. The Jia family's disciples and former officials are all over the army, and Qian Tianguan of the current dynasty even had a close relationship with the Jia family. .If he were reborn as a saint, how could he not be afraid of the Jia family?
And...the saint is just because of..." Yan Xiyao frowned and said: "It's not a good thing to know such things, so I'd better not say anything. "

Eh?What happened to the saint?It's really uncomfortable to say half-heartedly.

However, Li Weijian also knew that the matter involved the saint's personal secrets, and he was afraid that it would not be publicized, so it was better not to pursue such matters.

"Yes, the students know."

"Well, resurrection has its own rules. I can stop it as soon as I tell you. It's not like my dog, who sometimes tells the truth in person. He turns around and gets stubborn and still goes his own way."

Li Weijian chatted with Yan Xiyao for a while, and only after half the time did Yan Xiyao send him back.

After leaving Deyan's mansion and sitting in the carriage, accompanied by the sound of wheels, Li Weijian frowned and thought secretly.

Although Yan Xiyao never said it explicitly, his secret meaning was very clear. In the end, the Jia family would not just be confiscated, but they would also be confiscated and exterminated!
In this case, wouldn't eldest sister Li Wan and nephew Jia Lan also be implicated?
If it was just a house confiscation like in the TV series, Li Weijian could have rescued him afterwards, but if it was a house seizure and annihilation of the clan... Under the wrath of Saint Thunder, even Li Weijian, who had extraordinary abilities, could not be saved.

Considering that I have just started out now and have never been an official, it will still be a few years before the incident occurs. At this time, I can only slowly think of ways.The plan for now is to get Li Wan out of Jia's house first, so that the eldest sister will not be exhausted before the emperor's decision.

The carriage returned to Rongguo Mansion, and Li Weijian returned to his small courtyard worriedly.

It's drizzling today, and even though I'm covered by an umbrella, I'm still wet.Li Weijian changed his clothes, then took the gold lock he bought, ordered the two maids Hongyu and Xiangling, and went to find Wang Xifeng.

Being able to go in and out of the inner house during the day, Li Weijian led the two maids into the east courtyard, passed through the east and west corner gates, and arrived in front of Sister Feng's children's courtyard.

Ming Hongyu went to call the door, but learned that Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were not here at this moment, saying they were busy checking the warehouse.

The maid who stayed behind invited Li Weijian in, offered him tea and asked him to wait, and then hurriedly sent people to look for Sister Feng.After a long while, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er hurried back.

As soon as the curtain was opened, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Why are brothers Jian here? I heard magpies chirping early in the morning, and I didn't see anything good at the end of the day. I didn't expect it to happen to brother Jian."

Li Weijian quickly stood up and smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Second sister-in-law, it's really presumptuous to come here in a hurry."

Wang Xifeng invited him to sit down, and she also sat down. She said with a smile: "It doesn't make sense. They are all relatives. How can they be hasty and presumptuous? If we say it is hasty and presumptuous, didn't Brother Jian even say that to me last time? Already?"

"Ha, the second sister-in-law is right." Li Weijian smiled and winked at Hongyu.

Hongyu placed the small bundle on the table and opened it, revealing the exquisite necklace and golden lock inside.

Wang Xifeng glanced at it and said in surprise: "Hey, brother Jian, what do you mean?"

Li Weijian said: "I was walking around the manufacturing office today and happened to see such a set of items. I thought it would be suitable for Sister Qiao, so I bought it. No, I just gave it to my second sister-in-law when I came back."

"It's hard for Brother Jian to have such thoughts, but..." A pair of phoenix eyes glanced at him: "Is there something wrong with Brother Jian?"

"Second sister-in-law has a keen eye," Li Weijian said, "I have something that I need help from second sister-in-law to talk about."

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er looked at each other, breathed out slowly, and then said: "Brother Jian, tell me, I have narrow shoulders and low energy, so I can't help with everything."

Li Weijian briefly told the story about the female teacher in the palace, and then said: "Your Majesty asked for information. I couldn't think of anyone else for a moment, so I recommended the eldest sister. Your Majesty agreed on the spot. After thinking about it afterwards, I was afraid that this would be the case." Things are not easy. But I have already made a promise to the prince, so it’s hard to change my mind midway.”

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Xifeng was secretly shocked.

Everyone thought that Li Weijian could do great things, but Wang Xifeng only thought that he had become successful and had gold and silver in his hands, but he didn't expect to have such a friendship with that loyal and brave king.

Wang Xifeng picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly, thinking secretly in her heart.Li Wan left the palace to become a teacher in the palace, which was only good for her, but not harmful.

Looking at the entire Rongguo Mansion, it seems that there is no harm in this matter.The only thing I'm afraid of is that my aunt, Mrs. Wang, will stop me.Firstly, Li Wan is a widow after all, and secondly, Mrs. Wang doesn’t like Li Wan!

Although Mrs. Wang is now said to be in charge of the business, due to her filial piety, in the final analysis it is the old lady who calls the shots.Later, Li Weijian mentioned this matter in front of the old lady. She, Wang Xifeng, did not need to do anything else. She only used Taipingquan and spoke fair words. She expected that she would not hate Mrs. Wang for this.

I glanced sideways at the necklaces and gold locks on the table, and estimated that I couldn't buy this set for less than 400 taels of silver.Wang Xifeng was moved, put down the tea cup and said, "Brother Jian, have you asked your sister-in-law?"

"After asking, the eldest sister seems to be a little moved, but also a little hesitant."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "In that case, when brother Jian comes up later, it's okay for me to say a few fair words in front of the old lady."

Li Weijian was secretly happy, and immediately raised his hands and said, "I know that my second sister-in-law is eager for justice, so I would like to thank you here first."

"Gee, it's still a matter of debate whether it will succeed or not. The old lady has to make the decision. Brother Jian will be grateful this time."

Li Weijian said: "Whether it succeeds or not, I will remember the good son of my second sister-in-law."

"Sure, when will Brother Jian say it?"

"Choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun."

Wang Xifeng glanced at the clock and said, "The old lady is about to have dinner now. After about an hour, please see Brother Jian."

"Okay, then just follow what the second sister-in-law says."

After the plan was completed, Li Weijian did not stay any longer and immediately stood up to leave.

Returning to his small courtyard, he only lingered for a while, and just when he was about to go out, Siqi came to the door.

Qingwen and Hongyu cautiously led Siqi to Li Weijian, and Siqi smiled and said: "Fourth Master Jian, our girl looked at that book of stories and thought about how to polish it every day without having to eat or drink at home. It's just that I only read half of this book, but the girl kept thinking about it, so she sent me to ask if Fourth Master Jian had any leftovers."
