Chapter 926 Put the wine to heart

The dinner that was entertaining Li Rusong and Shen Yourong was naturally placed in the main hall of the house. Wang Fulin also asked Chen Bingchang to go to the Cheng family and called Cheng Naixuan. He followed Guangmao to the Liaodong Cheng Naixuan. Even if he didn't have a lot of contact with Li Rusong and Chen Yourong, he was familiar with everyone, but with Master Cheng's attitude of being familiar with him, of course he was familiar with everyone.

However, Wang Fulin watched coldly and saw that although Cheng Naixuan was good at revitalizing the atmosphere, Li Rusong's purpose was obviously not here. The eldest son of the Liaodong general used very skillful means to get drunk one by one, and even Cheng Naixuan was not spared. In the end, he brought the wine pot to him.

He glanced at the guy who was tilted and drunk on the table and sighed inwardly that these people were all too honest and had too weak combat power. After taking the wine glass, he said with a smile: "Brother Li is unbeaten on the battlefield. I didn't expect that he is unbeaten at the wine table. He is very capable, and I really admire him."

Li Rusong was still drunk just now, but when he heard Wang Fulin's words, he saw that Wang Fulin, who was drunk all over, looked clear and drunk. He was not at all drunk. He was sitting crookedly and immediately sat upright, sighing: "I thought I had underestimated you once in Liaodong. Later, I felt that I had tried my best to look up to you, but I still didn't expect that you were like no limit and could do anything big. From this point of view, the storm that Liaodong was originally light."

"Probably." Wang Fulin shrugged and said self-deprecatingly, "I have long seen myself with a halo of disaster stars, and there are accidents everywhere. When encountering small people, there are small things happening, and when encountering big people, there are big things happening. After repeated experiences, sometimes I have to avoid something. You should be glad that I recommended Xiao Cheng to Liaodong before, if I go in person...haha."

Li Rusong was so terrified by Wang Fulin's laughter. He quickly held his forehead with his hand and said, "Don't laugh. Just make trouble in the capital, and Liaodong will complain. If you go to Liaodong in person, I don't know what kind of situation will the civil and military officials in Liaodong become. OK, okay, we are also old acquaintances. Don't say secret words in front of the wise people. I ask you, is your house safe to speak?"

Wang Fulin narrowed his eyes for Li Rusong's straightforward question, and finally said two words concisely: "Safe."

In the capital city where factories and guards are everywhere, Wang Fulin actually has such confidence? Why does he have such confidence?

Li Rusong was confused, but he did not intend to question Wang Fulin's confidence. Judging from this guy's past, this confidence should not be unreasonable. Therefore, he sorted out his ideas and promoted the promotion of Liaodong civil servants and demoted them. Therefore, the officialdom was turbulent, and even complained about military generals directly made it clear. However, while he was talking and observing Wang Fulin's expression, he found that the other party was always smiling. Rather than being surprised by his words, it was better to say that it was... It was just a premeditation in advance!

"Tao Cheng-kun killed the surrender and took credit, so no one has any objection to what this person should do. I'm right?" Wang Fulin slowly raised his head. Seeing that Li Rusong didn't say anything, he didn't care about the other party's attitude, and continued to say, "Why did he have this courage? It's just that he is sure that the superior Li Dashen trusts him very much. The supervisors under the governor of Liaodong have become accustomed to sharing the contributions from the victory of Liaodong generals, so they will not verify it at all. And after something happens, they will try their best to help wipe their butts behind, so they are fearless, right?"

Li Rusong was a little embarrassed about Wang Fulin's naked judgment, but whether he was a general in Liaodong or the son of Liaodong General Li Chengliang, he had to ask in a deep voice: "Why did you point your finger at those civil officials, not Liaodong generals?"

"It's very simple, because I already know and confirm that killing surrender and reward was not Li Dashui's idea. Therefore, removing the corrupt civil servants in Liaodong is just to dig up the rotten parts of the rotten peaches. But if the knife is pointed at Li Dashui, then it is equivalent to cutting off a good place for a rotten apple, and the court must do a good job in Liaodong's situation to the point where it is corrupt. Or, Brother Li, do you think those corrupt civil servants are more important than Lingzun?"

Li Rusong would not take over the second half of Wang Fulin's comments. He knew very well that while Wang Fulin affirmed Li Chengliang's achievements and victory and clearly stated that he would save his position as the general of Liaodong, he also vaguely warned that Li Chengliang wanted to advance and retreat together and work together by tying Liaodong civil servants to his ship, and let civil servants finish their work of cultural etiquette and decorating evil. This is at least a failure at the moment. Previously, the cabinet votes planned to be held, on the list of new batch of Liaodong civil servants who were approved by the Lishui Supervisor, the names were very unfamiliar, but just looking at the resume, they were all first-class personnel.

He had read Zhang Juzheng's private message to his father Li Chengliang, and it was clearly written on it. The biggest requirement of the court for these new officials was to carry civil and military officials on their shoulders. If there were any more people in the army to kill, surrender and abuse prisoners, escape from the captives, and escape from the common people, and to raise men from other races to serve as servants, or to keep them as military achievements in the future, they would never tolerate them, and would not be allowed to shirk responsibility!

Is this Zhang Juzheng's bottom line or Wang Fulin's bottom line?

Li Rusong seemed to know each other for the first time. He stared at Wang Fulin for a long time, and finally raised his neck and drank a glass of wine in his hand completely. Then he asked, "So, has the matter in Liaodong ended here?"

"That's right, that's all." Wang Fuling paused, and then said meaningfully, "But the emperor seems to be quite interested in Brother Li. Maybe he might summon you especially, or even let you stay in Beijing."

If this were the other martial arts clans, they would not be overjoyed about such a good thing, and at least they would be unsuccessful. However, Li Rusong suddenly frowned and realized that the rumors that Wang Fulin was very holy relatives outside were most likely true.

Thinking about the past few years, Wang Fulin and the Li family did not seem to have too much contact, but the two female relatives, Xiaobei and Mrs. Su, often gave each other specialties, and they were often polite and ceremonial during festivals. When they came to Liaodong to inspect the Changding Fort victory, Cheng Naixuan, who was recommended by Wang Fulin, successfully avoided the big trouble caused by Guangmao. He quickly made a judgment after he made a decision.

"Brother Wang, we are always acquaintances. I want to hide it from you. Although this wealthy nest in the capital is good, it really doesn't mean much to me. I also know that my father is the general of Liaodong, and my eldest son is under his command like other Liaodong generals. It's not unruly. But I can go to Ningxia, Xuanfu Datong, and anywhere in the Jiubian, but I must not leave me in the capital. To put it bluntly, I would rather go to the battlefield in the wind and rain than be a nameless chief general in the three camps. I originally planned to say this to Yuanfu, but since he is sick, I can only beg you."

Wang Fulin immediately smiled. To talk about those who were familiar with Ming history in later generations, when it came to Li Chengliang and his son, they really loved and hated him.

What I love is that the father and son of the Li family built a Liaodong iron cavalry, which completely stabilized the Liaodong, which was once attacked from three sides and leaked from all sides. The three guards of the Duoyan, the left-wing Chahaner tribes of Mongolia, and the Jurchen tribes, all these enemies became the cornerstone of the rise of the Liaodong iron cavalry; what I hate is that Li Chengliang tried his best to support Nurhaci, and even helped Nurhaci crippled all the Jurchen tribes that could cause threats, giving Nurhaci a chance to unify the Jurchen tribe. As a result, the father and son who were the most capable of fighting in the Li family could no longer control the situation, which led to the later Qing army entering the pass.

But no one can deny the talent of the Li family father and son, especially Li Chengliang and Li Rusong as military generals.

"Brother Li, don't worry, maybe I will shirk other things from you, but wouldn't it be a waste of talent for throwing the seeds of famous generals like you into the three camps of the capital and joining the veterans?"

Li Rusong originally thought that he would at least have to be soft and hard, and finally pay some conditions and prices, but Wang Fulin agreed so readily. After he was stunned, the grudges in his heart immediately fell out of the sky.

The children of the Wumen should make achievements on the battlefield and wrap their bodies around the horse and shine their lintels. How can they spend time in a wealthy and gold-selling cave like the capital?

Without saying a word, he brought the wine pot over, filled Wang Fulin first, and then poured a glass for himself, and then said sincerely: "Then I will do it first!"

This time, Wang Fulin clinked glasses with Li Rusong and drank them all. When he raised his hand to signal Li Rusong to sit down, he whispered: "I suggest that Brother Li not go to the Grand Secretary Zhang's Mansion in Dashamao Hutong. At least don't go to the Zhang family before someone above summons you to report your work."

Li Rusong suddenly widened his eyes. When Wang Fulin came to Liaodong, it was said that it was Zhang Juzheng's instructions. At that time, there were even rumors that Wang Fulin, the ranking of the three-level priest, was obtained by Zhang Juzheng's instructions. Moreover, since the other party was the nephew of Wang Daokun, who was the minister of the Ministry of War at the time, he made friends with him. Even his father and mother treated people differently, it was because of this. Now, Wang Fulin, the hard-core Zhang Juzheng confidant, has clearly stated that he would not visit the Zhang family? You should know that in previous years, he would not say that he went to Beijing in person, even if his father sent someone to the capital, the first thing he did was to give a generous gift to the Zhang family!

Could it be that Zhang Juzheng's illness has really reached such a dangerous level, so Wang Fulin has no longer ignored the identity of Zhang's confidant in the past and stood directly on the side of the little emperor?

Although he knew that this kind of thing could only be understood, not spoken, and was not suitable for asking, Li Rusong could not help but ask: "Yuan Fu's disease..."

He had only had time to ask these four words, and Wang Fulin put his index finger on his lips to make a gesture of silence, and then he changed the topic: "For this storm, you, a person who has just come from Liaodong, don't step in, because no one can guarantee that this is not a thousand-year pit. If you can return to Liaodong quickly after meeting the saint, that would be the best. As far as I know, Li Dashui may not be able to see the spring, autumn, winter and summer of war. If you miss a war and lose the opportunity to make achievements, it will be too late to regret it in the future."

Wang Fulin was half joking and half serious, and Li Rusong was naturally confused and suspicious. However, rashly involved in the struggle between the court was indeed the most taboo thing for generals like them. Wang Fu Lincoln reminded him like this, which was definitely because of the old friendship.

"Okay, I understand." Li Rusong was decisive. He nodded immediately. After looking at the guys who were drunk and sleeping loudly, his eyes fell on Chen Yourong, but he immediately expressed his opinion, "Shi Hong is skilled in martial arts and good at military tactics. He can be said to be brave and resourceful. His father will definitely cultivate him more in the future."

Wang Fulin has always admired Chen Yourong. Li Rusong made such a promise on behalf of Li Chengliang, and he was naturally very happy and satisfied. As for himself, he had no extravagant hope to win over the Li family. He immediately looked forward to the beautiful blueprint of Liaodong with Li Rusong, wishing Li Chengliang a prosperous martial arts, and asking Li Rusong and others where they live... In short, it was completely a rhythm of gossip.

Because it was too late, he could not have let these Liaodong generals who had just arrived in the capital today challenge the night ban. It was not suitable to send people to escort them back to the Zhenlong fur shop at Dengshikou, so he simply left the people at home for a while. Of course, there were not so many empty houses in the Wang Mansion alone, but there was also the Cheng Mansion next door? Fortunately, the front yard was not as deliberately designed by Li Rusong on the side. They were all drunk. After half an hour of work, they were finally all settled. When Wang Fulin returned to the room, it was already after midnight.

Wang Fulin took Cheng Naixuan to accompany the guests, so Xiaobei naturally accompanied Xu Yao and his two children in the Cheng family. Just now, Cheng Naixuan was also drunk by Li Rusong and sent him back. At this moment, she learned from Wang Fulin about what Li Rusong and Zhang’s family had to talk separately. She smiled and said, “It’s okay if Li Rusong gets everyone else drunk, even Cheng Naixuan doesn’t let it go. It seems to be a small revenge. But you don’t make things clear about him, aren’t you afraid that he thinks you are a snob who breaks the bridge and doesn’t remember the old love, and you will hide away when Yuan Fu is sick?”

"It would be better for people to think that I am a snob than for people to think that Yuan Fu is pretending to be sick. What's more, you heard that where he was staying? Maybe he and Zhang Sijiao are also old friends." Wang Fulin hugged his wife next to him tightly and said with a smile, "This time, every party is gambled a lot. If you are not careful, you may lose all your capital. The variables outside of the chess game in Li Rusong are of course to leave early and get better, or stay there well and not get involved. Regardless of whether the father and son of the Li family have all kinds of shortcomings, it would be a pity that they would be in a turbulent place like the capital." (To be continued.)8
