Chapter 130 Honest people are best bullied

After Shi Kefa left Nanjing that year, he did not return to his hometown in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng, but chose to stay in Yangzhou.

He applied for household registration in Yangzhou, and then bought a hundred acres of land near Meihualing outside Yangzhou to live.

He did not hide his name, let alone go out of his door, but actively participated in local governance and became the patriarch of the Yangzhou Local Congress.

After five years of his tenure in the local council, he could enter the Nanking Prefecture Congress, and then at the five-year meeting in Yushan, he would be an invited guest to observe the achievements of the Lantian Empire in the past five years and make suggestions for the next five-year plan.

He also built a small school near Meihualing, and personally served as a teacher to teach the local people.

In his primary school, not only children are taught, but anyone who wants to read and write, so in his primary school, up to 60-year-old farmers and 6-year-old boys, sit in a classroom and listen to the lectures.

When Yun Zhao came to Meihualing, he happened to encounter a rare light snow.

Winters in Yangzhou are short, perhaps less than January, and during this coldest month, there is a lot of rain and snow is rare.

The snow in Yangzhou is different from the snow on the plug, because there is a lot of moisture in the air, and the snowflakes here are bigger and lighter than the snowflakes on the plug, unlike the snow on the plug, more like ice beads hitting the face with the help of the wind.

The snow of Yangzhou can be seen in the sky, in the treetops, in the plum blossom petals, in the black hair of the beauties, in the folding fans of the Confucianists, in the lily hats of the fishermen, and in the firewood of the woodcutters, but not in the ground.

The soft white snow melts and disappears when it falls to the ground, and finally mixes with the mud and becomes a puddle of mud.

Yangzhou sees a lot of clay, even if Yun Zhao is stepping on clogs, it is still very difficult.

"Your Majesty, the road here is slippery and difficult, so it's better to wait for the snow to stop before coming."

Li Guocheng saw that the emperor's clogs were full of mud, so he carefully admonished.

Yun Zhao glanced at Li Guocheng and said, "This weather is a good day specially selected by me, hurry up." ”

Li Guocheng said with a smile: "Shi Kefa will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's visit on a snowy day. ”

Yun Zhao chuckled and said: "Dream it, people are people who have been champions, they have seen a lot of big scenes, and they have been played by Zhang Feng and Tan Boming in Nanjing, and they have been glorified and down, and now the whole person is sober, not so easy to deceive." ”

Li Guocheng said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, we are sincerely coming to visit Mr. Shi Kefa, don't you need to say the word deceit, right?" ”

"Anyone who asks someone to do something that is not in their mind is called cheating."

"Why can't you use persuasion?"

"I'm not that hypocritical!"

Li Guocheng stopped asking questions after a sigh of silence, he had been following His Majesty for a long time, and he had become accustomed to His Majesty's shameless behavior.

This is a visit without prior notice.

It's a very rude thing to say, but because it's Yun Zhao, people still stubbornly think that the emperor doesn't need to abide by the etiquette too much.

It can be seen from this that people's attitude towards the emperor has always been so tolerant, and even for the emperor's moral bottom line, they have never counted on it, after all, tyrannical, deviant, obscene, and incestuous ...... And so on, which is not uncommon among the actions of hundreds of emperors in history.

Beyond the small hill, there are several families in the col.

At this time, the plum trees planted on the mountain bag are too small, the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, and they cannot form the artistic conception of iron hooks and silver strokes, all the branches are tender and upward, and some have some flower buds, but they do not mean to open.

A mountain spring poured down from the mountain, passed by the plum groves, turned a corner in the dark earth, passed in front of the door of one of the tallest tiled houses, and finally disappeared into the bushes behind the yard.

"The environment is good, if you want to live here for a long time, you have to ask me after all."

"Your Majesty, Shi Kefa should still have the heart to enter the office, you only need to see how much he attaches importance to current affairs and actively participate in the construction of the local representative association, you will know that Your Majesty is sincerely inviting this time, and Shi Kefa will be happy to obey."

Yun Zhao smiled, he also felt that this should be the result.

Along the path to the gate of the mountain house, the guards came forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a boy opened the door, and when he saw clearly that there was a group of armed men in front of him, he ran away, and shouted as he ran: "Disaster is coming, disaster is coming, the official family has come to arrest the master." ”

After a while, many people hurried out of the house, among which Shi Kefa, whose beard was gray, was the most conspicuous.

Li Guocheng coughed and said, "Shi Kefa, Your Majesty is here." ”

Shi Kefa was taken aback when he heard this, and when he looked out of the door, he immediately found the emperor in a robe standing at the door of his house and looking at him with a smile.

Seeing that the person who came was not from the Prudent Criminal Division, Shi Kefa was no longer panicked, and said to Yun Zhao from afar: "Your Majesty came to the door on a snowy day, is there anything to teach Shi Kefa?" ”

Hearing that it was the emperor who came, Shi Kefa's family knelt in the muddy water without thinking about it.

Yun Zhao smiled and looked at Shi Kefa who was standing and said, "Calm down, in order to let everyone in the world stand and speak, I have abandoned the kneeling ceremony." ”

Shi Kefa was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised, some people have been kneeling for a long time, and they are not used to standing and talking. ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, I won't go in and bother, there is a bamboo forest path over there, let's take a walk there and talk about our hearts." ”

Shi Kefa glanced back at the ecstatic family members, sighed lightly and said, "Dare not obey your fate." ”

The emperor invited, Shi Kefa had obviously seen deep malice in Yun Zhao's eyes, but there was no way to refuse.

He knew that the emperor in front of him was completely different from the emperor he had served before.

This is an emperor with the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and great perseverance, and an emperor with a heart like iron who will not change his mind because of a certain person or a certain thing.

In his eyes, the world's talented people are chess pieces that can be played at will, and they don't pay attention to methods at all, and only ask for results.

Recalling his nightmarish experience in Ying Tianfu, a nameless anger rose from the soles of his feet to the back of his head.

"In that case, the old man will lead the way for His Majesty."

The guards rushed into the bamboo forest like wild boars, and in an instant, the bamboo swayed wildly, and the snow that had stagnated on the bamboo also fell to the ground one after another.

When Yun Zhao and Shi Kefa walked into the bamboo forest path, the guards even used cut bamboo to clean the gravel paved path.

Yun Zhao looked at the clean bamboo and said to Shi Kefa: "The solitary yang does not grow, and the solitary yin does not grow, Aiqing should understand." ”

Shi Kefa said with a smile: "Your Majesty hated to sweep away the heresy when he was cleaning up the world, and now, how can he say the words that the lonely yang does not last long and the lonely yin does not give birth?" ”

Yun Zhao looked at the angry Shi Kefa and said strangely: "I heard Zhang Feng say that Aiqing's heart is already empty, and it doesn't hinder anything, why are you still haunted by the past?"

You know, it wasn't my idea to calculate you in the first place, and you should know that I've always been an upright person and wouldn't do anything like that. ”

Shi Kefa looked at the emperor mockingly and said, "Oh? This is the first time I have heard that the reason why the old man forgave villains such as Zhang Feng and Tan Boming is entirely because they are villains themselves and have never covered up anything.

However, His Majesty said that he was above board today, and the old man was really surprised when he heard it. ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, but the current court is full of villains, doesn't a gentleman like Aiqing have the idea of going out to the country and the people?"

After all, with Mr. Yi's great talent, it would be a waste to stay in this remote place. ”

Shi Kefa laughed and said: "Okay, it's not impossible to want the old man to go out of the mountain, but I don't know what kind of official position Your Majesty is going to use to impress the old man?" ”

Yun Zhao said categorically: "Prime Minister! ”

Shi Kefa's originally rampant face immediately calmed down, and said word by word: "Why did you humiliate me so much? ”

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "Isn't the position of state minister still satisfying Aiqing?" ”

Shi Kefa said lightly: "As far as the old man knows, today's Minister Zhang Guozhu is quite loved by the people, and although he can't say that everything goes well in the world, he is also a rare cadre.

In terms of ability, the old man thinks that he is not as good as Zhang Guozhu. ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "Vice Prime Minister." ”

Shi Kefa's face finally softened, and he arched his hand: "It's just that the old man doesn't want to be with Hong Chengchou." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "I said it at the beginning, let him be incognito, and also gave him a fake name of Mr. Qinglong, who knows, he just didn't listen, relying on his own small achievements in the development of Nanyang, so he arrogantly leaked his real name, which really made me embarrassed." ”

Shi Kefa said: "His old man heard about it, but he didn't bury his talent, the old man just didn't like his personality, when Liaodong was in the first war, half of the elite of the Ming Dynasty died with him in Huangquan, if he died, the old man should respect him and look up to him."

Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict for him and cried for him three times...... In the end, he came back alive and became an important minister of your Lantian lineage. ”

Yun Zhao looked at Shi Kefa happily and said, "Oh? Sir still thinks that the emperor's order cannot be violated? The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die? ”

Shi Kefa nodded and said: "If you are heavy and bear the expectations of the world, you should repay him with death." ”

Yun Zhao let out a long breath, and bowed to Shi Kefa and said: "Now, there is a big thing that I am going to entrust to Mr., this matter cannot be done without Mr., I hope Mr. can give up his past suspicions, for the sake of the people of the world, reappear in the Plum Blossom Valley, and seek happiness for the people of the world." ”

Shi Kefa said: "I asked Your Majesty for an official before, but I was angry in my heart, this was not Shi Kefa's original intention, now, my Ming Dynasty is thriving, and the prosperity is just around the corner."

Although the old man lives in seclusion in the Plum Blossom Valley, he still sings and dances for this new era, and he can't wait to participate in this grand wave in person, only in this way can the old man really feel that he has come to this world in vain.

Your Majesty, please say, what do you need the old man to do in Nanyang? ”
