Aspiration

Chapter 74 Palace Exam
Li Wei was thinking of marrying his daughter to the number one scholar.

Someone also guessed his thoughts, and flatteringly said to Li Laiheng: "Young Master Li, behave well, our eldest brother has a beautiful daughter, maybe she can be the son-in-law of the east bed."

Li Laiheng is young and energetic, he trains troops on weekdays, he is busy with military affairs, and thinks less about his children's personal affairs. Now when he hears the description of beauty and beauty, the image of a beautiful woman naturally pops up in his mind, and unconsciously, his blood is racing.

His face flushed.

This is how beautiful boys are, white and tender, ruddy and energetic.

At this moment, two women peeked at the scene from behind the screen.Li Wei's daughter has reached the age of Sichun, and she heard from the girl that there is a beautiful young man who is the champion of the dynasty and is answering the interview in the lobby.

When the daughter heard it, her heart was pounding.She hid behind the screen and looked at it, and was stunned.

Li Wei had made up his mind, and thought to himself, let's continue the interview, don't rush to tell about his daughter marrying him, lest others think that her daughter can't get married.

He asked the second question.

What is the best way for the Ming Dynasty to govern the country in the future?
Ha, is there a recipe?
Li Laiheng said: "There is no cure for the Ming Dynasty!" He took this opportunity to confuse the people, and it is difficult to control tens of thousands of people without reasoning. Therefore, some public opinion preparations must be made before the coup.

His purpose of acting as a loser is for this purpose.

"How do you say there is no cure?" Li Wei asked back.

"Since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, there were very few emperors who worked hard to govern, and most of them were muddled and bastard emperors. Since Wanli took charge, it was destined to last for a day. Eunuchs controlled the government, big landlords annexed land, and the Manchus grew stronger. In case of natural disasters, the fate of Daming can be clearly seen, and he is bound to perish. Although Emperor Chongzhen worked very hard to become the master of Zhongxing, he was conceited, stupid, arrogant, and indecisive. Therefore, in his Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will die quickly. Now, looking at the situation, the Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles, no matter how hard it is, it will be in vain, and the time is ripe for a change of dynasty. You say, right?" Li Laiheng paused.

"Yes, that's right." Everyone felt that it made sense.

It was the first time for Li Wei to hear this discussion, and it was also the first time for other civil servants and military generals to hear it.

Li Wei asked again, you said that the dynasty must perish, so whose hand will it perish?This is the third question.

Li Laiheng said that there is no suspense about this matter, and the Ming Dynasty will surely perish in the hands of Li Zicheng!

"Li Zicheng?"

"Li Chuang?"

Everyone asked in surprise.

"Yes, it must be him, there is no other person besides him!"

Li Laiheng was categorical and could not have been firmer.

This sentence shocked some people.

Li Wei was not happy.

He said: "Since Li Zicheng broke out from Shangluo Mountain last year, he has disappeared now, and his life and death are unpredictable. How could Daming die in his hands? I failed this question."

Li Laiheng laughed, and said: "Ordinary people think so. It seems that, my lord, you are only mediocre, and you don't even see this simple truth? Alas, what a pity."

What, didn't you say I'm an ordinary person?Bold, Li Wei thought, I wanted to use you, but I can't use you for your rude words.Just as he was thinking, Li Laiheng then made another reason.

He said that looking at peasant armies everywhere, Li Zicheng is the only one with great ambitions.In the military, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and Lao Huihui all have strength, and even you, General Li, are also capable. However, in terms of talents, no one can compare with Li Zicheng.

These words deeply hurt Li Wei.

With a gloomy face, he said disdainfully: "Li Zicheng has no soldiers and no generals, so what can he use to fight for the world?"

"Those with great ambitions have millions of heroes in their hearts!"

Li Wei couldn't help laughing out loud, and asked sarcastically, "Then why don't you go to Li Zicheng? What's the point of you coming to me?"

Li Laiheng smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Wei was startled: "Tell me! What is your purpose in coming here? Ma Yun, tell me, what is Li Xiang doing here?"

Ma Yun said unhurriedly: "Boss, Mr. Li is right. He said that Li Zicheng will win the world. What has it to do with us? He is the emperor of his court. We occupy Xiong'er Mountain as the king. What is the conflict?" ?"

"Why not? Won't he come to clean us up?"

"Oh, since the boss thinks so, it means that we are not safe here, so why don't we make a long-term plan?"

Li Wei smelled a strange smell, and seeing Qiu Yunsong was there, he felt relieved, "Ma Yun, what do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting. Boss, you said that in the future, Li Zicheng will come to clean us up. I think, if this is the case, why should we change from passive to active? Isn't it a good thing to have the best of both worlds now? At least, He is also the founding minister, enjoying endless glory and wealth."

Li Wei was angry.

He shouted: "What? You want me to surrender to Li Zicheng? Someone, take Ma Yun down!"

Niu Jinxing spoke: "Wait a minute! Listen to me."

Li Wei has long paid attention to Niu Jinxing, who is full of officials. His temperament can still scare some people. After all, he is a person, and his quality and temperament are still different.Li Wei was in awe of him, so he held back his anger and said, "Go ahead."

What is Niu Jinxing doing here?He is here to make contributions, so he has already prepared the draft and memorized the articles fluently.

However, he couldn't perform on the spot. When he got nervous, he messed up and forgot all the words he had recited.

Niu Jinxing said: "My lord. Oh, no, General Li. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are the best. The current court is rotten and the time is ripe for a change. It would be unwise for you not to join this great torrent; In the heat of the water, it is unrighteous for you not to understand the people hanging upside down; it is inhumane for you to settle in the remote mountains and neglect the happiness of your brothers and subordinates; you are willing to be a bandit and bandit, how can you face your ancestors Lie Zong? Since you are not loyal to Daming and the new emperor has appeared, you are not loyal if you don’t lead the people to vote; you are not filial if you don’t lead the people to prosper and glorify their ancestors. You are unwise, unkind, unrighteous, and Loyalty, not filial piety, so you are guilty of a big crime, no."

He was going to say the word "heinous crime", but before he finished, Niu Jinxing noticed that what was originally intended to persuade Li Wei to join Li Zicheng, has now turned into criticizing and humiliating him. Isn't this intended to stimulate him?It can even be said to be a call to arms.He quickly changed his words.But, at first glance, it was too late, Li Wei was glaring angrily, clutching the handle of the knife tightly.His heart skipped a beat, and he cried secretly, it's over.

The scholar is angry.

Scholar are easy to get emotional.When Niu Jinxing saw that Li Wei was going to kill him, he trembled in his heart, and then his temper came, and he said, "What? Do you still want to kill someone?"

"I'll kill you, lest you disturb the morale of the army with your nonsense here." Li Wei stared, "Crack!" The steel knife was unsheathed.

"Hahahaha, it's ridiculous, ridiculous. Am I talking nonsense? Tell me, where am I talking nonsense? Li Zicheng, you know him, he is not lustful, he is not greedy for money, he is easy to remonstrate, all the soldiers are happy, and the soldiers work hard for him. Repeated battles and defeats, but he was defeated and fought repeatedly. Wherever he went, the people slaughtered cattle and sheep, prepared wine, and welcomed the arrival of King Chuang. But you, a mere Xiong'er Mountain, have become the emperor of the land, Sangong Sixth Court The 72nd concubine, the bridegroom of every night, doesn't try to make progress, just listens to the truth, and kills people with a knife, it's ridiculous, ridiculous."

What Niu Jinxing said was passionate and hearty.He felt that he still couldn't let go of his hatred, and then said: "Li Wei, you kill me. If you kill me, you can save your brothers, and you can become wise, benevolent, righteous, loyal, and filial, then my death is worth it." .But this son, Li Xiang, you have to protect him, talent, don't waste your life."

Before dying, Niu Jinxing did not forget to flatter Li Laiheng, he was a life-saving straw.

However, Li Laiheng did not respond.He was laughing in his heart, no wonder some civil servants remonstrated with death and only said that once he got a stubborn temper, he really wasn't afraid of death.

Niu Jinxing's attitude of seeing death as home is not a bad thing, and the bandits who want to conquer Xiong'er Mountain must use a multi-pronged approach.

Seeing that Li Laiheng didn't respond, Niu Jinxing was heartbroken and said loudly: "Come on, Li Wei, you kidnap tens of thousands of people to spend your whole life with you in the mountains for the sake of enjoying yourself alone. If you kill me, someone will come to their senses. Sooner or later, you Will be torn to pieces by your subordinates.

Li Wei laughed loudly, "Who dares?"

"I dare!"

Changwei, the imperial historian, stood up. He was also a general, and the knife was placed on Li Wei's head.

"Brother, as long as you dare to touch Mr. Niu's hair, I will cut off your head! Mr. Niu is right. We are in a corner, poor and poor, and we rob and plunder every day. What is the difference with wild beasts? We are men. It's time to stand up and do something vigorously. Now that the Great Ming is exhausted, it's time to establish a new dynasty. What Mr. Niu said is absolutely right, you are not benevolent, loyal, filial, wise and brave."

Doctor Yushi is one of his three princes, and he has a high prestige. When he said this, many people thought it made sense.

"You want to oppose me too? I'm not mean to you." Li Wei said angrily.

"Hmph, you are really good to me. But, think about it, are you good to other people? Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, what have they got?" Chang Wei, the censor doctor, said grandly.

"Hmm. Rebellious ministers and thieves, keep saying benevolence, righteousness, morality, loyalty, filial piety, wisdom and courage, Ma Yun, Changwei, aren't you rebelling?" A beautiful voice came from behind the screen, and then a very beautiful woman came out.

Li Laiheng said "My God" in his heart and was in great pain.

How is it a bitch?
