Chapter 115 Fleeing from the Wilderness

Sun Xiang couldn't help but be puzzled, after all, without mentioning the teacher-student relationship between Cai Wen and Xie Qian, just because of the 10 taels of silver, it is impossible for Xie Qian to not do things after receiving the silver.

Over the years, Cai Wen has given many gifts to Xie Qian. Without the support of Xie Qian, a cabinet veteran, it is impossible for Cai Wen to sit in the seat of a provincial procuratorate before the age of 40.

It's really easy to get promoted in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Many officials may spend a lifetime being able to get a sixth or seventh rank official position, which is already quite good.

After all, it was the teacher-student relationship of more than ten years, and the Xie Mansion collected the money so simply, everyone thought that Xie Qian was fully sure that he could transfer Cai Wen back to the capital.

It can be said that in order to be safe, Sun Xiang came here this time under the order of Cai Wen, and brought 20 taels of silver notes to Beijing again.

Fortunately, as a member of Cai Wen's family, Cai Changgui was arranged to open this restaurant in the capital. On the surface, it is a restaurant that mainly serves Fujian dishes. In fact, it is a restaurant specially set up by Cai Wen in the capital. An intelligence gathering place and a foothold.

If there were any major changes in the capital, Cai Changgui would send people to notify Cai Wen as quickly as possible. Similarly, once the people sent by Cai Wen to the capital entered the capital, most of the time they would come to see Cai Changgui immediately.

Cai Changgui glanced at Sun Xiang and said: "At first things went very smoothly. After Xie Ge received the filial piety from the lord, he has already agreed to mobilize the lord to Beijing. Not long ago, I specially visited the eldest son of Xie's mansion. At that time, the eldest son mentioned that Regarding this matter, it is said that Elder Xie Ge has already submitted the suggestion to the Ministry of Officials, and it only needs to go through a formality with the Ministry of Officials, and the final transfer order will come down."

Sun Xiang couldn't help saying: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be great? But since the last process is left, why do you..."

Shopkeeper Cai showed a bit of a wry smile on his face and said: "Mr. Sun, you don't know something. Not long ago, the situation in Beijing suddenly changed drastically. Mr. Xie Ge was dismissed by the emperor, and he is no longer the elder of the court."

"What, Mr. Xie Ge was dismissed. How is this possible? He is a veteran minister of several dynasties. He has stood firm in the cabinet for more than ten years. He is also an important minister of the late emperor. How can Mr. Xie Ge be dismissed today?"

Obviously this news was too unbelievable for Sun Xiang, and he stared at Cai Changgui in astonishment.

Cai Changgui could understand Sun Xiang's mood, sighed softly, and said with great emotion: "It's unbelievable to say that, the reason is that there is a young talent in Fujian, and somehow he has gained the respect of the emperor. "

While sorting out his thoughts, Sun Xiang slowly accepted the news of Xie Qian's dismissal while listening to Cai Changgui explain the reasons.

Hearing the words, he couldn't help but said: "Isn't that a good thing? In this capital, those who are not familiar with the place of birth are naturally the most reliable people from the same hometown and the same clan. Isn't it a blessing for Fujian to have such a young talent? "

Cai Changgui nodded and said: "That is to say, at that time there was Luo Wenxiang, a censor from Fujian, who went to win over the other party, but unfortunately the other party did not buy it at all, and was determined to cling to the emperor."

Sun Xiang hesitated and said: "Since the other party is valued by the emperor, it seems that there is no problem in being attached to the emperor."

Sun Changgui smiled and said: "But he is a member of Jinyiwei, and he also received the order of the emperor to reorganize the guards..."

Sun Xiang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then took a breath and said, "How could the princes of the court agree."

Sun Changgui nodded and said: "So not long after, Luo Wenxiang joined some officials to impeach Li Huan for plotting rebellion at the Great Court Meeting, but in the end it angered the emperor. After getting the news that day, Li Huan, who must repay Luo Wenxiang, took Luo Wenxiang and others out of the brothel. They were caught, stripped naked, and paraded through the streets..."

Hearing all this, Sun Xiang was dumbfounded, his eyeballs almost fell off, and at the same time, Sun Xiang could probably guess what happened next.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Xie Ge and others will definitely not agree, and they will tell the emperor directly. However, no matter how serious the matter is, it will not be so troublesome as to dismiss an elder."

In Sun Xiang's view, Xie Qian and others would definitely not let it go. The impeachment of Li Huan is certain, but no matter how it develops, it is impossible to make trouble to the extent of dismissing the old man.

Cai Changgui said with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "I heard that at that time, the elders and all the officials were unable to see the emperor, and some officials were so angry that they beat the emperor's servant to death, which led to Xie Qian. The two elders, Liu Jian and Liu Jian, were furiously dismissed by the emperor, and many officials were even implicated."

Sun Xiang was stunned. If Cai Changgui hadn't said something serious, he would have suspected that Cai Changgui was fooling himself with a little story he didn't know where he heard it.

Taking a look at Sun Xiang, Cai Changgui said: "Now Mr. Xie Ge has been dismissed from office, and there are no birds in front of the gate of the mansion where there used to be endless streams. I'm afraid there is no hope for your lord's transfer to the capital."

Taking a deep breath, Sun Xiang looked at Cai Changgui and said, "Did you ever send someone to report such a big matter to your lord?"

Cai Changgui immediately said: "How is that possible? I confirmed the news that day and sent someone to send the news back as soon as possible. I'm afraid that within a few days, the adults should have received the news."

Sun Xiang was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xie Qian was still the court elder when he set off from Fujian to the capital, even if Cai Changgui sent someone to send the news back, he couldn't possibly know.

Just thinking that there was so little hope for what he was going to do in Beijing, Sun Xiang couldn't help feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

Suddenly, Sun Xiang thought of something, his eyes lit up and he looked at Cai Changgui and said: "Cai Changgui, you just said that Xie Ge was always dismissed by the emperor because of the impeachment of the Jinyiwei official who came out of Fujian?"

Cai Changgui nodded and said: "That's right, that's exactly the case. Mr. Sun, you haven't seen the scene where the man is only eighteen years old, the young man is heroic, and he leads the guards in Jinyi across the long street. With such a youth, he is so favored by His Majesty. Even without hesitating to dismiss the two elders, the future will surely lead to great success, riches and glory will be enjoyed endlessly, and I am really envious of countless others."

Sun Xiang's eyes gradually lit up, he stared at Cai Changgui, and suddenly said: "Who is that person? You said that if we go to follow his door, will the adults be transferred back to the capital?"

I have to say that Cai Changgui was stunned when he heard Sun Xiang's words, and then his face showed excitement, he looked at Sun Xiang with admiration and said: "Mr. Sun, you are so quick-witted that you can think of this. "

Speaking of Cai Changgui walking back and forth excitedly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely great, he raised his head and nodded fiercely at Sun Xiang: "I think I can give it a try."

Sun Xiang calmed down and looked at Cai Changgui and said, "Since Cai Changgui thinks it's feasible, you should immediately send someone to inquire about any useful information about Li Huan. Where is he from Fujian and what are his hobbies? You must inquire. Clearly."

Cai Changgui smiled and said: "This is my job, Mr. Sun just don't worry, in a few days, I will give you the detailed information about Li Huan."

Sun Xiang had no doubts about Cai Changgui's ability. If he didn't even have this ability, it would be impossible for Cai Changgui to be highly valued by Cai Wen, and then to sit in such an important place as the capital.

Here, Li Huan returned to his residence after eating.

But when they arrived at the residence, they saw a carriage parked at the door from a distance, and several people were standing there.

Stepping forward quickly, Li Huan's figure appeared at the gate, and the servants guarding in front of the carriage quickly stepped forward to salute Li Huan: "Your servant, I have seen you!"

Li Huan waved his hand, and at this moment it seemed that he heard the movement outside. Qiu Ju, who was welcomed into the Dengkou of the house, came out with a smile and said to Li Huan: "Brother Li, you really made our family wait a lot. It's been a long time, and you just came back."

Seeing that Qiu Ju was quite curious, Li Huan went up to meet him with a smile and said, "I didn't know that old brother Qiu was here. If I had known this, I must have come back early. How dare I let my old brother wait here. "

Walking into the living room, Li Huan saw where Cao Yu and two young eunuchs were serving. Needless to say, after Qiu Ju came, it was not easy for Lianqiao, who was a maid, to entertain her, but Cao Yu was very suitable.

Nodding to Cao Yu, Li Huan said, "Cao Yu, hurry up and prepare good tea for Old Brother Qiu."

Qiu Ju waved his hand directly and said: "Okay, we saw at home, you don't have any good tea here, so I'll come back next time and bring you a pot!"

Li Huan laughed and waved his hands, Cao Yu and the two young eunuchs retreated behind Li Huan and stood with their hands tied.

Qiu Ju also knew the identities of Cao Yu and the others, so he naturally didn't care, but looked at Li Huan and said, "Guess what good things I brought you here, brother?"

In fact, after entering the living room, Li Huan had already noticed the huge sandalwood box in the living room.

Such a big box, although it is not clear what is contained in it, but it can be packed in such a top-grade mahogany box, one can imagine that the things inside must be extremely precious.

With a move in his heart, Li Huan suddenly said: "Could it be the precious medicinal materials bestowed by His Majesty?"

Hearing what Li Huan said, Qiu Ju immediately giggled, pointed at Li Huan and said, "Your Majesty's favor for you, my brother, we brothers are a little envious of. You listed the medicinal materials you needed at that time. After returning to the palace, Your Majesty immediately ordered me to go to the Imperial Hospital to collect medicinal materials for you."

As he said that, Qiu Ju raised his hand to open the huge box, and at once it was densely packed, and the medicinal materials sorted into different categories came into view.A strong medicinal fragrance rushed over.

The medicinal materials this time are better than the medicinal materials sent by Pan Gu Dayong in terms of obvious quality. After all, the medicinal materials sent by Gu Dayong were collected by him by virtue of his own power, but this time Qiu Ju sent them. According to the will of the emperor, the high-quality goods were directly selected from the imperial hospital.

Qiu Ju giggled and said, "Thank you so much for our family, our family almost ransacked all the high-quality medicinal materials in the imperial hospital, you didn't see the heartache of those imperial doctors at that time, it seems Our family seems to have touched their hearts."

Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said at the same time: "Isn't that their heart and soul? But those medicinal materials are prepared for the nobles in the palace. Although His Majesty rewarded them, but Brother Qiu, you really don't..."

Qiu Ju waved his hands and said: "Our family is awake, if we really want to say, how many of those precious medicinal materials can actually be used by a few noble people, most of them did not end up in those too hands."

Speaking of which, Qiu Juman said with disdain: "Where did those people from the Imperial Hospital get the precious medicinal materials that occasionally flow out from the pharmacies in the capital? It's not that they drifted away from the Imperial Hospital. Otherwise, those precious medicinal materials, relying on them alone, where can I get them."

Li Huan couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, everyone really had their own way of corruption, even the medicinal materials of the Imperial Hospital could be lost in a reasonable way.

Seeing Li Huan's expression, Qiu Ju smiled and said: "So instead of keeping those medicinal materials and falling into the hands of those people, it is better to use them for your cultivation according to His Majesty."

Li Huan cupped his hands at Qiu Ju and said, "But there is Brother Laoqiu!"

Qiu Ju took out a few pieces of paper from his cuff and put them on the table, saying: "All the medicinal materials are recorded here, you can order someone to count them later."

Li Huan said with a smile: "Brother Qiu was joking, can I still not trust you?"

Qiu Ju giggled, stood up and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for our family to go back to work."

Li Huan hurriedly said: "Why don't Li order someone to prepare a table of meals to accompany Brother Qiu..."

Qiu Ju waved his hands and said: "No need, no need, it's getting late today, I won't go again, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the palace, I'll talk about it in another day, I will have to ask my brother to treat our family to a table."

While speaking, Qiu Ju had already left the living room, Li Huan could only escort Qiu Ju out the door, and watched Qiu Ju get on the sedan chair and gradually disappear into the night.

Back home, Li Huan said to Cao Yu, "Cao Yu, you should bring someone to organize these herbs and put them away by category."

After all, although these medicinal materials have been prepared by the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, they still need to be stored properly. If the efficacy of the medicinal materials is affected due to improper storage, the loss outweighs the gain.

Cao Yu responded, and his eyes fell on the few sheets of paper on the table, and he saw that the information of each medicinal material was densely recorded on it.

"what!"

Cao Yu picked up a piece of paper, glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Li Huan took a sip of tea, looked at Cao Yu in surprise and said, "What's wrong?"

Cao Yu handed the piece of paper to Li Huan and said, "My lord, you should take a look too. These medicinal materials are indeed from the Da Nei Tai Hospital. I am afraid that it is true as Chief Supervisor Qiu Ju said. He evacuated the Tai Hospital. The warehouse is also unknown."

Hearing this, Li Huan stretched out his hand to take the piece of paper, and he couldn't help concentrating his gaze. To be honest, although Li Huan knew that the medicinal materials bestowed by the emperor must be very precious, when he actually saw the year of those medicinal materials, Li Huan was still shocked. The royal background was shocked.

Dozens of medicinal materials, it can be said that among the more than a dozen most precious medicinal materials, almost none of them are more than a hundred years old. There are even more than a dozen of ginseng that can nourish qi and blood, and the oldest one is more than 300 years old.

Ginseng that has been in the folk for hundreds of years is already quite rare, and even wealthy families will treasure it as a treasure for emergencies.

But now there are as many as a dozen ginseng alone, Li Huan's eyes twitched, and then he understood why Qiu Huihui said that the people in the Tai Hospital seemed to have been poached.

But soon Li Huan couldn't help the impulse in his heart and said: "Okay, okay, with the help of these elixir, I may be somewhat sure of breaking through this time."

Cao Yu, who was arranging the box of medicinal materials at the side, couldn't help showing joy when he heard the words: "So you can break through this time, sir?"

These days, Cao Yu assisted Li Huan in his practice. Cao Yu was no longer ignorant of martial arts. Although he didn't know when Li Huan would be able to break through, just looking at Li Huan's hard work in his daily practice, he could guess that it didn't take three or two days.

Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "I never thought that the elixir Your Majesty bestowed this time would be so precious."

Li Huan shouted: "Forsythia, forsythia..."

Soon a pretty figure came over, and said with some surprise: "Why did you call me?"

Li Huan pointed to the medicinal materials and said: "You took the medicinal materials and went to make a pair of Chunyang Babao soup."

Lian Qiao was stunned and said with some surprise: "My lord, you... Didn't you say that you will need to use Chunyang Babao Tang to assist in your cultivation for at least one month?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "With these treasures from last year, naturally there is no need to wait so long."

Speaking of which, Li Huan pinched Lianqiao's nose and said, "Okay, let's get ready."

Lianqiao responded, carefully selected the medicinal materials needed, and quickly walked into the kitchen to prepare the medicinal soup for Li Huan to practice.

After glancing at Cao Yu, Li Huan murmured for a while and said, "Cao Yu, you go and invite me to invite Chen Ke, Zhao Yi, and Ma Ming."

Although Cao Yu didn't know why Li Huan summoned a few people to come, but Li Huan had an order, he complied and hurriedly arranged to go.

As the night fell, Li Huan walked into the room, and saw that Lianqiao had prepared a hot medicinal soup, her sallow arms were exposed, and her forehead, which was as smooth as jade, was covered with crystal beads of sweat.

Seeing Li Huan approaching, Lian Qiao stepped forward and undressed Li Huan while saying: "My lord, Chunyang Eight Treasure Soup is ready."

Li Huan's naked body was quickly exposed, Lian Qiao just glanced at it, and blushed in shock: "I'll go outside to guard the door for you son."

Seeing the appearance of Lianqiao running away, Li Huan looked down at a certain place and couldn't help but smile wryly, it's not his fault.

Young people are already full of energy and blood, let alone a person with full energy like him is full of energy.
