Chapter 27
After eating chicken soup and making rice, Xu Jingzong and Jia Ping'an took a walk in the village.
Xu Jingzong looked at the lazy chickens and dogs in the village and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be a blessing if he could return home to support his old age."
Jia Ping'an felt that this was the occasional flash of human nature. If Old Xu was willing to abandon his wealth and wealth and return home to retire, he would be willing to go to Tubo to persuade Lu Dongzan to become a peace envoy. Sure enough, Xu Jingzong said coldly: "Stop me from returning to Chang'an, this is Changsun Wuji's idea. When I thought that Your Highness was bullied by this traitor in Chang'an, I wish I could fly back and fight for my life and death with him!"
Changsun Wuji is currently controlling the government and is very happy. He wants to get Xu Jingzong, but he just wants to get Lao Xu, the messing stick.
As for Lao Xu's statement that he would fight Changsun Wuji for a lifetime, under the current situation, Jia Ping'an felt that Lao Xu would definitely be beaten up and was no match at all.
Jia Ping'an has learned a lot of the current dynasty from Xu Jingzong in the past few days. Combined with the research of later generations, he has basically judged the situation.
"The people who assisted the government in the court were Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. With them here, Yu Zhining and others could only watch." Jia Ping'an felt that the lineup of the government left by Li Shimin for his son was a bit weird.
Changsun Wuji is his brother-in-law, Chu Suiliang and Changsun are in the same group. With these two big guys standing in the court, why does Li Shimin think that Li Zhi can stand out?
Is he trying to hone his son?
Jia Ping'an felt it was impossible.
These days, aristocratic families can be cannibalistic. The old Li family is a model of successful rebellion among aristocratic families. So why is Li Shimin so at ease with Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang?
Jia Ping'an was puzzled and felt that it was honey confidence.
Li Zhi later brought Sister Wu back to the palace, which was not as simple as rekindling his old love, but also the meaning of finding a helper.
Old Li, Old Li, is it interesting to force your son to find a woman to help?
The big bosses in the court were able to provide decisive help to Li Zhi in the end, which was a woman, who could be called a strange one among the strange ones.
However, Sister Wu is indeed awesome. She started her journey of cheating after entering the palace until she became the queen.
"Yes! Yu Zhining and the others are useless at all." Xu Jingzong said confidently: "Your Highness is looking forward to Chang'an. You should plan to go back as soon as possible. Ping An, you are so unique, even if you come up with an idea, I will work hand in hand for Your Highness. From now on, I will definitely be in history with the same name... Hahahaha!"
When Xu Jingzong thought of his joy, he couldn't help laughing.
But, he was too optimistic.
In history, he was the number one loyal dog of Li Zhi and Wu's sister, but those families who control public opinion were the ones, so his reputation was inaudible.
Famously in history, you are dreaming!
However, thinking that he and Lao Xu were already tied to each other by the outside world, both of which were both detrimental and prospered, Jia Ping'an couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
He also wants to save face, would he feel good if he appears in history as a treacherous person in the future?
Retreat? You can't. Once you retreat, you will not only have a complete reputation, but even the shield of Lao Xu is gone. That's a pity.
Then I can only push forward step by step, control what... and control public opinion in my hands, and become a famous positive figure in the Tang Dynasty in history...
When later generations looked at the history of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Xu Jingzong, an old treacherous minister, met the broom star Jia Ping'an, fortunately, otherwise he would have lost his reputation.
Thinking of this, Jia Ping'an couldn't help but look at Xu Jingzong more, feeling that it was not worth it, "Emister, we must work hard!"
Xu Jingzong didn't know that he was thinking about this, so he said with relief: "Okay, I will definitely fight back all the way back to Chang'an City!"
A villager in the distance saw Lao Xu Qiyu being so majestic, and couldn't help but praise: "The envoy is indeed a sign... what does it mean?"
The villagers next to him said, "A good example of talent."
"Isn't a talented man a name in the palace? He is the emperor's woman!"
"Hey! Haha! The emperor's woman said she was so beautiful."
"Yes, I also said that I would wait for the emperor to go to bed for them all day..."
The two villagers quickly turned aside, but Xu Jingzong asked Jia Ping'an, "Xiao Jia, why do you teach me?"
This is a sincere consultation. Jia Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Huazhou has many mountains and few lands. If you want to make the people's lives better, you cannot take the ordinary path."
"What should I go?" Xu Jingzong was good in general, but at this time he was still a traditional official, just thinking about education.
Why?
Because education has been an important indicator of the political achievements of officials since ancient times, not only in the court, but also among the people. As long as you pay more attention to education during your term, you will be sure to be a wise minister when you step back.
But in Jia Ping'an's eyes, the most important thing in Huazhou is to make the people rich.
When Xu Jingzong saw Jia Ping'an thinking, he felt that the young man was still not safe enough and said, "In this way, you and I went to the state yard to slowly think about it. I have been in power for many years, and you are smart and you and I will definitely come up with a solution."
"I want to go and see everywhere." Jia Ping'an came from later generations and knew very well that there would be no right to speak without investigation.
So Xu Jingzong gave him a carriage and a coachman, and asked someone to teach him and Yang Deli to ride a horse.
The money earned by the old Jia family in a month tofu can basically buy a horse, so buying a horse is inevitable in the future.
A day later, Jia Ping'an set out.
Sometimes he rode a horse and sometimes got on a carriage, wandering around in Huazhou. Whenever he went there, he would definitely see local specialties and petition the suffering of the people.
After Xu Jingzong received the news, he couldn't help but feel relieved, "That young man has made some progress under the tempering of me."
When Liao Quan heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little inconsistent, but he habitually defended Lao Xu in his heart: Yes, the envoy must have taught Jia Ping'an privately. He just made the envoy humble and refused to say it out.
A minor official came outside, "Encourt, Chang'an sent someone to come, saying that he was the new Sima."
Xu Jingzong was stunned and then said dissatisfiedly: "Huazhou already has a chief minister, why do you still need Sima to do?"
What does the Chief Secretary and Sima belong to... Officials who do not have specific positions assist the governor, collectively known as the "Superior". Xu Jingzong had an admirer, Changshi, and what does it mean to have Sima?
The new Sima came later, in his thirties, and looked very humble, "Yu Wen has met the envoy and the Changshi Liao."
Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "There are not many things in Huazhou, so don't come if you have nothing to do."
This is said: If you have nothing to do, just play by yourself, don’t get in the way of my husband’s eyes.
Why is Lao Xu so rude?
Because Huazhou is close to Chang'an, most of the officials who have some status in the minds of the emperor are demoted here or in Tongzhou next to him. It is convenient to transfer back in this way. Why did Changsun Wuji bring Lao Xu to Huazhou instead of not getting farther away? It is because of this unspoken rule. If it is too far away, it will directly slap Li Zhi.
Now that Sima comes, it goes without saying that it is probably due to which company.
Yu Wen raised his head slightly and said humbly: "You are polite. Your servant has just arrived in Huazhou. He must come to learn from you every day..."
Hey!
Why is this person so humble?
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but after looking at Liao Quan, he felt guilty of falling in love with someone else, and said with a straight face: "Go."
He felt so happy that with his personal charm, he would definitely capture many admirers.
As an official, Lao Xu understood this principle, but he chose the path of loyal dogs, so he was naturally rejected by the mainstream officialdom.
He had always been alone in the past, and Li Yifu, the East Palace, came to discuss with him the way of loyal dogs from time to time. After Liao Quan became his admirer, he was completely awakened.
It doesn’t matter if I refuse to do so in the mainstream officialdom! I can develop my own personnel and live together in a group, who will be afraid of whom!
"Broom Star... Jia Langjun is here."
Someone outside shouted, and before Lao Xu nodded, Jia Ping'an came in.
Liao Quan noticed that his legs were left aside, which was mostly the price of learning to ride a horse.
"Water!" Jia Ping'an's face turned a lot darker, his lips were a little chapped. As soon as he came in, he found the kettle and drank it when he lifted it up...
Seeing that he was haggard, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but say with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, peace."
Jia Ping'an drank all the water in the pot, exhaled, and said, "It's hot!"
His eyes turned, and when he saw Yu Wen standing beside him, he looked at Lao Xu.
Xu Jingzong coughed dryly, "New Sima Yu Wen, this is... Jia Ping'an."
There was a humble smile on Yu Wen's face, "Langjun Jia looks quite arrogant..."
Hey!
This person actually knew that I was a broom star and still remained calm. He was so brave!
Jia Ping'an moved his heart and walked over.
His speed is getting faster and faster, and Yu Wen can still maintain that humble smile at first. When he approaches, he can't withstand the pressure of the broom star. He retreats and says, "Stop! Stop!"
But Jia Ping'an said in a daze: "Why, when someone saw Yu Sima, he felt kind and couldn't help but want to get close to him. Why did Yu Sima keep others from thousands of miles away?"
Let's have fun together!
The humble smile on Yu Wen's face disappeared for half of his angrily: "I won't retreat yet!"
He felt that a farmer would not dare to talk to him, but he forgot about Lao Xu.
Lao Xu claimed to be a promise and said that he wanted to protect Jia Ping'an, so he would be unambiguous. Seeing that Jia Ping'an was scolded by Yu Wen, he scolded: "Bitch slave, get out!"
Well!
Jia Ping'an stopped, Yu Wen looked at Xu Jingzong in shock, "Eunuch, this broom star is aggressive, the official is just in a hurry."
He said and started that humble smile again.
But who is Xu Jingzong?
A famous treacherous official.
"roll!"
What is directness?
That's it?
What is stupid and cute?
That's it.
If someone else is changed, he will definitely comfort Yu Wen. At least he cannot let his subordinate be disconnected from him. But Lao Xu directly scolds him. What kind of subordinate is disconnected? As long as I feel happy, let alone being disconnected, even if it is divorced.
Jia Ping'an was a little confused, and then a little moved.
Yu Wen's expression changed slightly, "The emperor retired and came again tomorrow."
After he left, Xu Jingzong said disdainfully: "I am here as the governor. He either bow his head or get out! There is no third way to choose?"
Tsk tsk!
Shouldn’t Liao Quan advise or even refute such a domineering and arrogant statement?
Jia Ping'an took a look, but saw Liao Quan looking at Lao Xu with admiration...
This is……
Mad fans?
Seeing his idol Lao Xu so arrogant, Liao Quan was so excited.
