Chapter 536: Everyone is drunk and I am the only one awake(2/3)

!"

Li Chengzhi let out a long breath, "If we really let him return without success, I'm afraid he won't be the Minister next time!"

Li Shixian couldn't help but sneered: Could it be possible that she could still be the Queen Mother?

"Then go ahead and call your father sick!"

"That's fine!"

……

Cui Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, feeling very angry.

Li Chengzhi is simply a demon. He has left the Duke's Mansion in the inner city alone, but he has to come to this mass grave?

He was afraid that if he arrived too late, Li Chengzhi might run into Mang Mountain to look for monks and find paths to explore the secluded areas, so Cui Guang got up before the fifth watch.

After another dozen or so miles of jolting, my bones were almost falling apart.

So when he saw Li Chengzhi, he first complained loudly:

"It's just a funeral, so why move outside the city? If you really have filial piety, why don't you build a house in front of Li Shiliang's grave?

Don't give me the excuse that you are disheartened and don't want to be an official again in this life, so you asked to resign three times. Not only did you move out of the Duke's Mansion, but you also resigned from Lord Ying. You are obviously pretending to be wronged, for fear of the Queen Mother

Isn’t it embarrassing enough to show off to the imperial court? It’s so unbecoming of a man to be pretentious and pretentious..."

Just like a bloody dog, Li Chengzhi was speechless and stunned by the scolding.

Has this old man taken some gunpowder?

You think I'm just showing off, but I'm just afraid of chaos in the capital and don't have time to run away...

Li Chengzhi secretly slandered, still smiling, and asked Cui Guang to take a seat.

Hmm?

Cui Guang discovered something was wrong again.

There was a handwriting posted on the nave, and he could recognize it as Li Chengzhi's handwriting at a glance. But compared with before, it was much less sharp and a little more smooth.

Cui Guangben is a master in this field. He firmly believes that words are used to understand people and cultivate one's character. When he looked at the content, he even frowned:

If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if it has immortals.

If the water is not deep, there will be a spirit if there is a dragon.

This is a humble house, but I am virtuous.

The upper steps of the moss marks are green, and the grass color enters the curtain green.

There are great scholars when talking and laughing, but there are no idle people when interacting.

You can tune the plain qin and read the golden scripture.

There are no messy ears of silk and bamboo, no labor of writing documents.

Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, Yunting in Western Shuzi.

Confucius said: What is so shameful?

The words are good words, and the poems are even better poems. They can be called masterpieces. But why does Grandpa become more and more depressed the more he reads it?

The whole article conveys the meaning of "Everyone is drunk, I am alone drunk, everyone is muddy, but I am alone pure".

That's all, there seems to be a hint of indifference, tranquility and far-reaching hidden in it.

To put it bluntly, it’s just accepting your fate...

Thinking again about Li Chengzhi's experiences in the past few months and his behavior after returning to Beijing, Cui Guang's brows couldn't stop beating: Is this little thief really feeling cold?

After enduring it again and again, Cui Guang finally couldn't hold it back. Cui Guang opened his mouth and cursed: "You are capricious and go back on your word. Are you really a shameless kid?"

Are you lighting up your house, or are you digging into your ancestral graves? Wouldn’t you like it so early in the morning?

Li Chengzhi squinted his eyes: "It means beheading for questioning, but also a canonical punishment. Is it unreasonable for Ping Enhou to curse like this when he comes in?"

"The truth? Okay, I will explain the truth to you..."

Cui Guang shook his beard, rolled up his sleeves, and his tongue seemed to be equipped with springs.

"Where has 'Heaven behaves unfavorably, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement'?

Where has the phrase "Don't lose hope if your fortune is shallow, and don't rely on current events" gone?

Where has the perseverance gone? Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Where has it gone? Where has the wealth gone?

The saliva was sprayed out in random directions, and his finger almost poked Li Chengzhi's nose.

He couldn't laugh or cry: Just because this "Inscription on the Humble Room" is contrary to the "Ode to Determinations" I wrote in the palace on Chinese Valentine's Day last year, you want to scold me for being capricious?

What was the situation then and what is the situation now?

He originally wrote it casually because of his feelings. But both his parents and brothers said it was well written, and all the aunts and sisters-in-law were full of praise. For a moment, he was so happy that he simply hung up in the middle hall.

Who would have thought that we could even summon a squirt?

Knowing that Cui Guang was well-intentioned and somewhat resentful that iron cannot become steel, Li Chengzhi was not annoyed and just smiled and let him scold him.

The calmer he became, the angrier Cui Guang became. If he hadn't still had a trace of reason left and knew that he couldn't even defeat Li Chengzhi's hand, he would have taken action long ago.

The more he scolded, the angrier he became, but Li Chengzhi was so thick-faced that he remained completely indifferent.

On the contrary, he scolded Cui Guangqi till the end. He simply waved his sleeves and turned around to leave: "A strong man can't make a plan, and I can't be angry with you..."

Hey, why are you leaving?

"Shang Shu stays!"

Li Chengzhi hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Is it possible that the Queen Mother sent the minister away just to scold Li?"

How could this little thief guess so accurately?

Cui Guang stopped and squinted his eyes angrily: "Will you tell the truth if I ask?"

"If you didn't ask, how would you know I wouldn't tell the truth?"

Li Chengzhi pulled his sleeves and pushed him down on the chair: "Shang Shu and I haven't seen each other for a while, so it would be good to just have a drink and catch up on old times!"

Cui Guang seemed to be angry and sat down reluctantly.

"The Queen Mother asked me to ask you, apart from Jinming County in Xiazhou, where else produces kerosene? If you say yes, I will listen. If you say no, I will not go into details. Then go back to the palace and tell the Queen Mother the truth.

Ming..."

Is this why you came here?

Li Chengzhi became a little annoyed when he thought of what Li Feng said in his urgent report.

Even if one general succeeds and many bones wither, Gao Zhao and Gao Meng are too unscrupulous.

He pondered for a moment: "To be honest with the minister, I looked through ancient books and found only two mentions. One of them is "Yi": Xiang said, there is fire in the lake, and the fire is in the lake. The second is in "Han Shu"

》: Gaonu (belonging to Jinming County, Xiazhou) has water, which is flammable!

The former cannot be traced, but the latter points directly to Gaonu County, and other than that, there is no trace."

Cui Guang's eyes widened: "So, doesn't it mean that there is no such thing elsewhere?"

"Shang Shu, don't be impatient!"

Li Chengzhi looked around and saw the writing on the case, so he took it over and showed it to Cui Guang.

"Please see, Your Majesty, although the Mishui River is hidden underground, it is like an underground river, flowing in all directions, so Gao Nu is just one of them. But in my estimation, most of it is buried under a thousand feet, so it cannot be extracted by manpower."

"From what you say, it's Jinming County, so the kerosene isn't limited to just this lake?"

"A lake?"

Li Chengzhi frowned in a pretentious manner, "There should be seven or eight lakes, and they are spread over three or four townships. How can there be a limit to one lake?"

"Then why did Yuanhui send people to investigate and only found this place?"

"Then I don't know!"

Don’t you know a bird feather?

When he saw Li Chengzhi smiling like a fox, Cui Guang knew that he was not telling the truth.

If it weren't for Li Chengzhi, no one in heaven would have thought of this water... Oh, this kerosene can be used in war, and can even be used to make sharp weapons like thunder. And it was he who went to Jinming County in person to investigate and discover the talent.

Make the best use of it, so there is no one in the world who knows it more thoroughly than Li Chengzhi.

He said there are seven or eight places, so there must be seven or eight places.

Today, Yuanhui cannot protect himself, so he does not dare to deceive the Queen Mother. If he says that he has directly investigated one place, then he will definitely only investigate this one.

What was the difference then?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Cui Guang's mind, and Cui Guang suddenly thought of Gao Meng.

He suddenly realized why Li Chengzhi smiled so treacherously.

This little thief was clearly hinting to himself that Gao Meng had done something wrong.
