Chapter 797: People must have a bottom line after all

Today is Xunxu. Li Xun rarely has free time and has never gone anywhere. It is easy and comfortable to stay at home and accompany his wife and daughter.

After lunch, You Min took her daughter to have lunch break, while Li Xun went to the study to ask Xue Chengsong to explain the classics of history books and some classic meanings.

Recently, during the ten-day break, Xue Chengsong would come to Li's house to teach Li Xun. This is not considered teaching. However, Li Xun heard that although Xue Chengsong is not a big official, he is very knowledgeable about literature, especially in historical classics, he has extremely high research and unique insights. Li Xun just happened to have a crush on history, so he found an opportunity to let Xue Chengsong tell him about this. When he heard it, he was very helpful and liked, but he learned something. So Li Xun invited Xue Chengsong to teach him for an hour every day on the ten-day break. Xue Chengsong naturally couldn't get it for this request and happily agreed.

Xue Chengsong was born in a poor family and had a very poor family. His ancestral home was Guangchang County, Rongzhou, Lingnan. It was the most remote area in Lingnan. It was close to Anyue Kingdom and was poor and chaotic.

Xue Chengsong's life experience is a typical example of a phoenix coming out of a chicken coop. In the small county where he lived, for nearly two hundred years, he was the only one who passed the Jinshi exam. Moreover, he was a little lucky to get a Jinshi. In the first year of Chengping, Xue Chengsong took the scientific exam for the sixth time. Compared with the first five exams, the scores were the best this time, but the rankings were still two different. He did not pass the Jinshi exam. Fortunately, when Zhao Zhi saw Xue Chengsong's test paper, he felt that this person was very unique in his views and comments, his article was average, and his talent was a bit mediocre, but his calligraphy was excellent. Yang Daosi happened to be by his side. He accidentally said, the small county where Xue Chengsong is located is located in a border area, with strong folk customs, and the locals have a strong martial arts atmosphere, but his culture and education are backward. No one has passed the Jinshi for almost two hundred years.

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Zhao Zhi felt that such a local atmosphere is not a good thing for the government and should be controlled and improved, so he made an exception and pointed out Xue Chengsong's name and gave him the Jinshi origin.

Perhaps because of his poor background, he was able to pass the Jinshi exam and enter the official career, this was a shocking turning point for Xue Chengsong to completely change his life. Therefore, although he had been in the official career for a full ten years and was still a small seventh-rank official who could not be promoted, Xue Chengsong still cherished and cared for his official position very much, which led to him being timid and doing things, and no one dared to offend him.

Li Xun did not appear arrogant or arrogant because of the huge gap in status between the two. Instead, he gave people a sense of approachable and gentleness, which made Xue Chengsong feel a little bit like a spring breeze.

Li Xun glanced at Xue Chengsong. Today is a private break, not a official business. It is a private time. It is a private communication. It is a very easy thing to ask him to teach him a book. However, Xue Chengsong spoke very seriously and was meticulous. From this point of view, it can be seen that he is probably in this style of doing things on weekdays.

Li Xun picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, thinking about the recent internal and external situation.

Many things have already come to fruition today.

Yang Binglin was publicly executed three days ago. Of course, in addition to Yang Binglin, more than 30 people in the entire Yang clan were killed, implicated, and hundreds of officials were punished. Compared with Yang Binglin's death, it was relatively easy. As for Zhao Xun, this was almost very kind. Zhao Xun's methods were extremely cruel and vicious to those who implicated the royal family in the coup.

Although the Wing King Zhao He, King Hengshan Zhao Ke, and Zhao Xun and others were brothers with close relatives, they obviously had never had a trace of brotherhood. Instead, they hated each other to the core, and they all wanted to die sooner. The conflict between them, with the sudden outbreak and end of a coup, Zhao Xun was forced into a desperate situation, his emotions collapsed, and he showed up all his ugly appearance, which greatly deepened his hatred for Zhao He and Zhao Ke. This hatred was to the core.

Zhao Xun's revenge and attack on the Wing King Zhao He and King Hengshan Zhao Ke were perverted. Both of them were ruthless and were killed by the whole family for their crime of killing the king and usurping power. Although Zhao He and Zhao Ke were killed one by one on the day of that coup, this did not alleviate Zhao Xun's hatred. Zhao Xun not only killed all their families, but the bodies of Zhao He and Zhao Ke were also pulled out to pieces and cut into meat paste. The bones were like beasts. They were buried in the wild. Monuments were not allowed to be erected or worshipped.

However, at the end of the matter, Zhao He and an illegitimate daughter survived. Li Yi came forward to plead with her. Zhao Xun finally reluctantly agreed to save her life. Zhao He left a trace of blood and traces in this world.

The situation has not completely ended today. In fact, in the coup that night, only three of the six prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall stood up and firmly supported Zhao Xun, He Zhongkai, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Guanghui, Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zheng Renjie, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The three of them were closed-door at home on the day of the coup. No matter what the situation outside, they did not participate from beginning to end. However, when the situation developed that day, Liu Jie made efforts, and with his influence, Zhao Xun temporarily excluded Liu Guanghui. As for He Zhongkai and Zheng Renjie, there might be a lot of hatred in Zhao Xun's heart. Zhao Xun will never let them live a better life in the future.

Xue Chengsong glanced at Li Xun and saw that he was in a daze. So he put down the book in his hand and whispered: "Sir, have you heard of something recently?"

"What's the meaning?"

Li Xun came to his senses and was suddenly asked by Xue Chengsong, which made him a little confused.

Xue Chengsong stood up and came to Li Xun, lowered his body, and said in a mysterious manner, "Prime Minister Qin Anming took advantage of the opportunity of the coup trial to accept bribes. Those who have the advantage were light sentences, while those who have no benefits were heavy sentences. Many people who cannot give the benefits could only die with hatred, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many people."

"You've always found out?"

Li Xun looked at Xue Chengsong strangely and after a long time of trouble, he turned out to be talking about this.

Xue Chengsong said with a firm word: "What else do you need to inquire about this? Qin Anming's recent actions are blatant and extremely greedy. No one knows the entire Fengjing, and no one knows it. Prime Minister, if you impeach Qin Anming with this, you will definitely be able to take it down, and you will be very pleased and grateful to many people."

Li Xun knocked on the table and said unhappily: "Xue Chengsong, some things you hear don't mean you can say them casually. It's one thing, but another thing. The reason for disaster comes from the mouth. Do I need to remind you?"

ah!
Chapter completed!
