Chapter 368: Two Paths, Two Lives
Li Bangyan shook his head and said, "Dazai, you are too thoughtful in your work. ”
"Such a person will not live long. If you don't like poetry and songs, the poetry club has never been there. ”
"I don't like to go to brothels, and I am far from the word Yake. There is no act of accepting concubines, and there is no friendship of giving concubines. ”
"For a short time, you are a powerful minister, and you are the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, no one dares to say anything about you, but if the Holy Grace is not there that day, your reputation for private virtue will harm you. It's better to defile yourself. ”
"That's why I said a good thing."
Li Bangyan is nearly fifty years old, tears flow fast, and he walks fast, just sighing about his life.
He wrote long poems of tens of thousands of words, and he wrote them to those talented people who were Jinshi and Di, don't learn from him, and do not do anything.
"Self-defilement?" Li Gang chewed on these two words and said with a smile: "It's not what I want." ”
"You are a moral saint! You're dedicated to the public! That's it! ”
"Is there anyone like you in this world?" "Others will only use people with selfless desires, and they will ask for a lot to go to the official family to chew their tongues."
"Wait until one day when others say that you follow Wang Mang's example, see what you should do!"
Li Bangyan was angry, grabbed two broad beans and threw them in his mouth, chewing them rattling.
Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty is a typical way for a powerful minister to ascend the throne.
During the reign of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang served as the Great Sima and was already a very popular minister.
However, the ministers still vigorously encouraged the court to violate the old system, conferring the title of "Duke of Anhan" on Wang Mang and expanding the fief.
At that time, Wang Mang resolutely did not want Xinye's fiefdom!
As a result, more than 487,572 people wrote to Emperor Ping of Han to give Xinye to Wang Mang.
The number has zero and round, which is clearly recorded in the Han living note.
Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, has a population of more than one million, and 480,000 people have written to ask for advice. They are all readers, and they can hand the recitals to the scholars in the palace.
It is conceivable that Wang Mang ascended the throne at that time, how much everyone expected it!
Li Gang's current appearance is the only way for powerful ministers to move towards imperial power!
Moreover, the official family was seriously ill for three days this time, and no one in Li Gang's national dispatch did not respond!
That's the scariest thing!
If one day Li Gang blocked the Chongde Gate, surrounded the palace city, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or simply killed the emperor directly!
It's a no-brainer.
And this time, when Zhao Huan was seriously ill, Li Gang also designed the Emperor Taishang.
He's ready to do it to the royal family!
That's why Li Bangyan let Li Gang defile himself, whether it is Master Li or Mrs. Zhang, if you use it well, you can definitely clean up Li Gang's reputation.
In this way, Li Gang will be safe.
Li Bangyan did say this for the sake of Li Gang's good, but unfortunately Li Gang did not want to say a word, and denied the method of self-defilement, which made Li Gang quick and safe.
Although Li Bangyan did not explain it, he believed that Li Gang knew what he was talking about when he spit out the word dirt.
"If Li Dazai insists on personal morality, he doesn't want to defile himself. That Dazai was dying. Look at you, isn't it just marrying a two-room wife? What a big deal. Li Bangyan said jokingly.
Li Gang was still shaking his head and said: "In the law of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no equal wife at all, monogamy, and there is no such thing as three wives. ”
"Besides, Master Li can stand the matter of taking concubines, what about Mrs. Zhang? That's Princess Kang, I can't stand the wretched spirit of such a concubine, is it possible that I still want to divorce my wife? ”
Li Bangyan rattled the broad beans, at his age, there was not much time to bite the broad beans like this.
He smiled and said, "Why did Master Li and Princess Kang find you Li Gang, have you thought about it?" ”
"Both women know better than you think! They need to find a powerful minister to keep their identity and status. ”
"You need two women with a bad reputation to lower your Li Gang's reputation! Keep yourself safe! It is based on this principle that the two of you are entangled with you. ”
"Master Li is obviously much smarter than Mrs. Zhang, and after Zhao Ji returned to Beijing, she realized the danger of your Li Gang. Take the initiative to approach you. Mrs. Zhang showed her fangs after the official family became seriously ill and sent something to your house. ”
"To put it simply, it's just a political marriage to each according to his needs. It's just a divorce, and it's just a divorce. ”
Li Gang sat on the couch dejectedly, drank two glasses of stuffy wine, and said, "I don't like Master Li. What about a prostitute, how good is she looking? I can't see it yet. Even if she is the woman of the Emperor, she is now a female official of Genyue. I don't like it either. ”
"Not to mention Mrs. Zhang, you can't give up your ruined wife, and I can't divorce my wife." Li Gang still said worriedly.
His wife is just a woman, how can she understand these tricks of the court?
"Why don't you take a concubine? Bring Master Li into the room? Let the official family give Mrs. Zhang a child of the Zhao family, how can you say that Zhao Yang is also a national prince, and a lot of relatives of the Zhao family are waiting. Li Bangyan thought for a while and said.
Li Gang thought for a long time and said, "Forget it." The state has national law, and a man must be forty years old and childless to take a concubine, and I obviously don't meet it. Is it a flagrant violation of the law of the land? ”
"What you want is to blatantly violate the law of the country, otherwise you Li Gang is such a thoughtful and upright person, and the official family has no handle at all, can An rest assured?"
"Stupid!" Li Bangyan pointed at Li Gang and said.
Li Bangyan is not very interested in the word private morality, and he is extremely disgusted with moral saints!
Li Gang is the only moral saint he doesn't hate.
That black coffin, Li Gang was locked up for three days!
It's been three days! How did you get through it?
After he Li Gang came out, he brazenly turned the eight gates into Beijing and killed the world!
In Li Bangyan's view, his perseverance is invincible!
He is also in the spirit of persuasion, he can persuade if he can, and Li Bangyan can't help if he can't persuade him.
Li Gang is such a stubborn person, once he recognizes it, ten cows will not be able to pull it back.
Why does Lee Bang-yan hate moral saints?
It's not that he hates the word morality, but he hates some people in front of them and behind their backs.
For example, that Liu Jian, Wandao Liu is this kind of goods, on the surface he is a righteous businessman, and after his death, tens of thousands of people robbed Liu Jianchuan madly, and then after Liu Jian's case, Liu Jianchuan wiped his buttocks.
Moral saints of bullshit! It doesn't exist at all!
But there was a Li Gang in front of him, and this guy was becoming more and more like a moral saint.
"I've said everything I need to say anyway. Consider it yourself, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, and tomorrow will be sorrowful tomorrow. Come, Dazai, drink the contents of the cup, who can take care of the worries outside? Li Bangyan raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Is there no way to do it?" Li Gang said with a sigh.
The official family trusts themselves as always, and the big things, small things, the regular dynasty, and the court meeting are the same as in the past, and even when there is an argument, the official family likes to slap the table as always, and get angry like a child.
But the more this is the case, the worse Li Gang feels.
What he did to Zhao Ji has not been punished by the official family so far, which really makes him a little worried.
"Then you have to count on the official family to be a heroic lord with great ambitions, and he can accommodate you, a saint walking in the world." Li Bangyan laughed, pointed at Li Gang and said, "Do you think the official family is the British master?" ”
Li Gang thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, no." ”
"The official family has an extremely accurate and long-term vision in terms of right and wrong, the overall situation, and the major rights and wrongs. But when it comes to dealing with things, it's a little childish? ”
"It's too ideal, which is why the official family is angry when he slaps the table on weekdays."
Li Gang finished laughing and shook his head again and again.
"I am not by the side of the official family, so I can't give you a reference. Alas, I can only accompany Dazai to drink two more glasses of wine. Li Bangyan said abruptly.
With that, he glanced at the crack in the door.
He is a person who blatantly violates the law of the country, and accepts more than one concubine, which is not uncommon in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the norm, when did the scholars and doctors take the law of the country in their eyes?
One of Li Bangyan's concubines is the chazi of the Imperial City Division.
A weak woman who is powerless, it is absolutely easy for Li Bangyan to clean her up.
But Li Bangyan didn't dare.
On the contrary, he hoped that the more power he had left in the hands of the official family, the safer he would be for Li Bangyan.
He Li Bangyan is not Li Gang.
There are two ways to be a courtier, two people are completely different directions, and they have lived different lives.
When Zhao Huan received the secret report from Li Bangyan's mansion, he was eating.
Zhao Ying stewed rabbit leg meat, smoked a barbecue slice, and made two dishes of vegetarian dishes, a bowl of gruel, and two large white flour steamed buns.
"Isn't the official family too simple?" Zhao Ying asked cautiously.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm eating well." Zhao Huan shook his hand again and again, and the four words of superb cooking skills were extremely accurate to Zhao Ying's evaluation.
Color, flavor, and taste!
Beauty!
According to the requirements of the palace dinner, eighteen dishes should be placed on the table in front of him.
When Zhao Ying went out to raise the army before, Zhao Huan almost didn't vomit at this palace dinner!
Don't talk about the rules, just a little bit of each course!
Precious is precious, delicious is also delicious, and the chef is extremely attentive and dedicated.
But don't be hungry!
He would stay up late at night to read the notebook and read books, and he would go hungry in the middle of the night after eating only a few bites of food.
But he has people who can't let the Imperial Catering Bureau make him supper in the middle of the night.
This means that the official dinner is not good, and the people in the Imperial Catering Bureau are going to be hanged up.
In order to prevent the people of the Imperial Diet Bureau from eating and hanging, Zhao Huan did not hold him accountable.
The emperor is also a human being, and he will also consider it for his subordinates, otherwise the people's hearts will be lost, and one day he will be cut off in his sleep, wouldn't it be ridiculous for ten thousand years?
Zhao Huan did this, also referring to Song Renzong's practice.
Song Renzong Zhao Zhen once went on a trip, but forgot to bring water, he was unbearably thirsty, and when he saw that his subordinates did not bring water, he endured it until the end of the trip, and then let the inner servant bring water, also for the sake of his subordinates, not to be punished. From the canonical history
Zhao Huan felt that he was also a good young man in later generations, and he couldn't do worse than these feudal emperors, so he didn't hold him accountable, Zhao Ying came back, and he was fine.
"You still know what I like." Zhao Huan flipped through the notebook and ate again, and there was only one Zhao Ying waiting in front of him.
Can't talk while eating! Can't read! Can't eat whatever you want! If you eat a dish, you have to feed it to the mouth of the eunuch?
What a mess of rules!
Zhao Huan really can't stand this kind of disciplined thing.
"Two old foxes, their eyes are really accurate." Zhao Huan looked at the discussion between Li Gang and Li Bangyan on the notebook, and was amazed.
"The official, the minister stewed a ginseng chicken soup for the official, and now it's time to drink it when it's cool, and serve it?" Zhao Ying said with a smile.
The body of the official family is the heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, and it can't collapse.
Recently, he has also racked his brains to combine the dietary supplement prescriptions of the imperial hospital with the preferences of the official family.
The official family eats comfortably, and he can make up for his body, which is the most important thing for him Zhao Ying at the moment.
"What he Li Bangyan can't do, he thinks Li Gang can't do it. Treat others as you please. But Li Bangyan, an old fox, has a really poisonous eye, maybe he can guess what I want to do! Zhao Huan said with a smile.
Zhao Huan tasted a bite of ginseng chicken soup, and the aroma of ginseng penetrated into the soup, and the taste buds exploded deliciously, full of aftertaste.
"This chicken soup is good! Stay up more tomorrow and send some to Zhu Guifei and Zhang Jieyu. Zhao Huan pointed to the chicken soup and said.
"It's good if the official family likes to drink it, but the old minister specially asked the celebrity chef to boil it, and the official family likes it." Zhao Ying changed her tricks again, took out a fruit platter, put it on the table, and said, "Yogurt fruit plate." The cheese that Lao Chen got from the Khitan people and made yogurt helped digestion. The official family tastes it. ”
