Chapter 897: Meeting Li Taixing
,
Even he, who is an entourage, knows that the consequences of doing this will be unimaginable, can Li Taixing still rebel?
As long as he is still a court official, he has to bear the wrath of the emperor.
"Humph! Did this Li Taihang eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? He thinks I'm just like Master Hu and doesn't care about him? ”
Gu Chengyu snorted coldly, he hadn't been held accountable for Mrs. Li's bribery, but he didn't expect the other party to be fearless.
I wanted to wait for the resettlement of the victims, and then the emperor would hold him accountable. Because the amount of bribes is not large, it is more likely that they will be fined or demoted.
But Gu Chengyu now feels that this is too cheap for the other party, Li Taixing doesn't care about the lives of the victims at all, and he is far worse than Yang Chaoying of Hangtianfu.
And such an official must be a big corrupt official, judging from his bribery behavior, it is estimated that he has accepted a lot of bribes from others on weekdays.
"My lord, do you want some food?" Ming Mo saw that his adult spirit had recovered a lot, but he slept for a day today, and he still hadn't eaten a drop of water, how could this body be able to eat.
Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and then a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"There are ready-made ones, do we still need to prepare them ourselves?"
Gu Chengyu straightened the clothes on his body and asked Mingmo to comb his long hair for him, "Let's go!" Let's go and meet this Li Taixing! ”
With that, he got up, wrapped the sword of Shang Fang on the table with strips of cloth, held it in his hand, and went straight out of the room.
In the Yingnan Mansion, Li Taixing sat on the top, drinking red.
He has been in a good mood in the last few days, but he didn't expect that Lord Shousuke would write to him personally, what an honor is this?
It seems that it was a wise move to befriend Min Feng at the beginning, otherwise how could Lord Shoufu write a letter to ask him to take care of Min Feng?
It's a pity that Li Taihang didn't know that Min Feng had been temporarily imprisoned in prison by Gu Chengyu, otherwise he would never be as calm as he is now.
Looking at the businessmen below who were staggering and flushed, a trace of disdain flashed in Li Taihang's eyes.
With his identity, how could he drink and talk with these businessmen on weekdays? If it weren't for Gu Chengyu's big noise in Hangtianfu, he wouldn't have entertained these copper-smelling businessmen.
Several officials who accompanied him raised their glasses and toasted, "Lord Li, I heard that Lord Shoufu appreciates you very much, if you are promoted in the future, don't forget us old people!" ”
Guo Haoshou, a fellow acquaintance of Yingnan Mansion, was quite surprised that Li Taihang was suddenly appreciated by Lord Shoufu.
Yingnan Mansion is the ancestral land of the Xia family, Li Taixing has been in Yingnan Mansion for many years, and he has not seen how close the Xia family is to him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Min Feng arrived in Jiangnan, Li Taixing stammered. This time, Li Taixing was lucky, didn't you see that Lord Shoufu actually wrote a letter in person?
It seems that as long as Min Feng is coaxed, are you worried that you won't be able to rise to prominence in the future?
Guo Hao kept his little Jiujiu in his heart, thinking that when he had the opportunity, he must be close to Min Feng.
Hate that when Min Feng was in Yingnanfu before, Li Taixing branched himself away and went elsewhere. Otherwise, how could I perform well and have a good relationship with Min Feng.
"Where? Where? Isn't that much appreciation? How can this official be able to win the appreciation of Lord Shousuke? Lord Shoufu is busy with official business, working hard for the court and the people every day. And this official is mediocre every day, compared with Lord Shoufu, this official is really embarrassed! ”
Li Taixing saw that Guo Hao's words were a little sour, and he knew that Guo Haoshou was jealous that he had been appreciated by Lord Shoufu.
After all, when Min Feng arrived in Yingnan Mansion before, Guo Haoshou was sent by him to the prefectures and counties below to inspect and supervise grain.
"Patriarch Xia, it is a great fortune for the people in the world to have a good official like Lord Shoufu in your clan!"
Li Taihang suddenly toasted a glass of wine to an old man with gray hair on the first hand side, and the flattering words in his mouth were also true.
Patriarch Xia Mingqun raised his eyebrows, and also raised the wine in the cup to salute in return, and drank it all.
In fact, he didn't bother to participate in such a banquet, but he came mainly for the Chamber of Commerce this time. And he also brought important news, which Li Taixing estimated and didn't know that Min Feng was put in prison by Gu Chengyu.
It's just that he can't say this now, otherwise Li Taixing, the old fox, won't be on his side, this is a wallgrass.
After the other party completely offends Gu Chengyu, then they can only take refuge in their Xia family.
In the past, he looked down on this Li Taihang very much, otherwise Li Taixing had been in Yingnan Mansion for so many years, and their relationship between the Xia family and Li Taihang would not be so dull.
Befriending the prefect is what all the families in the city must do. It's just that their Xia clan is backed by Lord Shoufu, so naturally they won't take it seriously.
"Lord Li is serious, Lord Shoufu is indeed a good official, but you, Lord Li, are also a good official for the country and the people! The people of Yingnan Mansion can live and work in peace and contentment, isn't it all the credit of you and the adults here? ”
Xia Mingqun laughed, who wouldn't say anything about the scene?
Several people praised each other, and everyone at the banquet couldn't help but echo. At the banquet, the cup was pushed and changed, which was regarded as the joy of the guests and the hosts.
After three rounds of drinking, Xia Mingqun began to say the purpose of his banquet today.
"Master Li, I don't know if you've heard of it. Two days ago, it was rumored in Hangtianfu that the imperial court was going to set up a chamber of commerce in our Jiangnan. I don't know what this chamber of commerce is saying, why didn't the court come down with an official document? ”
Li Taixing put down the wine glass in his hand when he heard this, and sneered.
"Patriarch Xia also heard about it? In my opinion, this is simply nonsense. The imperial court never mentioned this matter, let alone issued a relevant official document. I'm afraid that some people's own minds are pulling the banner through the imperial court! ”
Since he decided to join Xia Shoufu's disciples, it is naturally impossible for Li Taixing to befriend Gu Chengyu, who is against Xia Shoufu.
And he had a bad relationship with Gu Chengyu before, so Gu Chengyu was even more unpleasant.
"Oh? But when the old man heard the news from Hang Tianfu, he swore that this chamber of commerce would definitely be able to implement it. Master Li, you also know that the Xia clan has business in all major state capitals, and after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, I wonder if it will have an impact on our Xia clan? ”
Patriarch Xia's eyebrows were raised, and he thought he was very worried about this matter.
"Actually, I won't hide it from you, this official invited you to come over today to discuss this matter."
Li Taixing sighed deeply, and saw that everyone's eyes were instantly sobered up a lot, before he continued: "Don't believe such rumors, you guys, there are many disadvantages of the Chamber of Commerce. If you really join any chamber of commerce, you will definitely lose a lot of benefits. And I don't know if this law can be passed at the court meeting, if the chamber of commerce is established at this time, it must not be recognized by the court. ”
"Oh? It seems that Master Li knows a lot about the Chamber of Commerce! I wonder where Master Li came from? ”
A clear voice sounded from outside the side hall, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look.
