Chapter 57(1/2)
When Cui Jian woke up, it was already dark.
The old man was named Cui Xin, who was an official in Chang'an. When he woke up, he said softly: "After hearing about you in Chang'an, I was worried and rushed over. This matter is about the people in Long that are making fun of Cui's children being shameless. I was anxious and just let it go..."
Cui Jian, who was innocently hit by a stick, was lying on the bed, with a slight pain on his forehead, and his eyes were a little distracted, "Uncle Second, this is a trap."
"Yes." Cui Xin smiled bitterly, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Those people frame you, Cui will not forget this."
"Everyone thought it was true." Cui Jian's tears slid from his eyes and he choked up.
"Yes." Cui Xin was a little ashamed, "Even I thought you did such a scandal."
"Second Uncle!" Cui Jian wiped away his tears, "I was really desperate at that time and felt that I had no chance to turn over again. But Jia Ping'an felt that this was wrong from the beginning."
"I am ashamed!" Cui Xin's old face turned red, "What did he say?"
"He said that Cui's clan style is not as good as this."
Cui Xinran. Cui’s people don’t believe in their own family. Instead, they are a family style that is supported by an outsider, which is embarrassing!
"Everyone doesn't believe in someone, just him..." The whole world thinks you are a bad person, and only one person firmly says you are a good person, which touched Cui Jian's heart. He really wants to hold Jia Ping'an's hand again and get close to him.
Cui Xin sighed, "I heard that broom stars can defeat people in Chang'an. I thought that when I see him in the future, I must stay away from him. But I didn't expect that this person would have such a sharp look and trust you so much, alas!"
"This matter must be the work of the Guanlong group." Cui Jian's eyes were full of hatred, "But no matter how many of their plans were, they were seen through by the young man at first sight. This was God's will! That was not a broom star, but a certain, no, it was Cui's lucky star!"
Cui Xin nodded and said lightly: "The family will thank him for this matter, but beware of him taking advantage of this and making requests. I have seen many such people. When I heard that it was Cui, my mind was full of calculating..."
A minor official came outside, "Mingfu, Jia Wenshu and others are leaving."
Cui Jian glanced at his second uncle, felt dissatisfied in his eyes, and suddenly sat up, then got out of bed, "Quick! Quick! Stop him! Stop him!"
Cui Xin blushed and ordered: "Stop him, I will prepare some thank you gifts and you will arrive soon."
But when they came out with the gift, Jia Ping'an had already left.
"Jia Wenshu said that the world is not far away, and if you are destined to be together, you will naturally be able to get together again." The little official looked respectful, and the mouse was whispered up, "He was so kind. He gave him a bunch of money and said that he would run away."
Cui Xin sighed, "I saw him wrong."
"He is so noble and honest, I feel sorry for him." Cui Jian got on the horse and galloped all the way.
He chased after him all the way. When he reached a dangerous place, there was water below and mountains beside him. A road winded up from the mountains and rivers, which was very steep.
He looked up and saw the three riders on the mountain road.
"Jia Wenshu, the journey is smooth." Cui Jian bowed.
Jia Ping'an on the mountain bowed and laughed a long time.
"Thank you, Cui Mingfu, thanks for sending you."
Cui Jian below sighed: "If you don't take credit, you won't be proud. This young man should make friends with him sincerely."
On the mountain, Bao Dong bent down and clenched his feet through his boots a few times. It was both refreshing and painful, "Jia Wenshu, we can obviously go back later, why are we in a hurry?"
Of course, Jia Ping'an could leave later, but since he wanted Cui to have a good impression of him, the best way was to keep a distance.
Just like pursuing a woman, if she doesn’t hate you, many times you keep a distance from her will be a way to attract her attention.
Although fierce pursuit is good, it is easy to be regarded as a dog licking dog. A dog licking dog... has nothing and is regarded as a lowly person.
Master Jia used the tricks of pursuing women in his previous life to Cui, and it worked.
Looking at Cui Jian, he was clearly moved by chasing him in such a hurry and felt that Master Jia was worthy of gratitude.
Hahaha!
Jia Ping'an laughed a few times, then said seriously: "You must do things quickly. Since the matter is over, you should go back in time. You are lazy, he is lazy, I am lazy, who will do the last hundred horses? Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows... I will live to tomorrow, everything will be wasted. When doing things, you must be conscientious!"
Bao Dong bowed solemnly, "I'm wrong."
Lei Hong also said in shame: "I just want to be lazy. Jia Wenshu's words made me ashamed. I will definitely work hard in the future."
The two exchanged a glance, and when Jia Ping'an rode forward, Bao Dong whispered: "This Jia Wenshu is just a poem casually. Although he doesn't understand it very much, he... he feels amazing."
"Yes!" Lei Hong glanced at Jia Ping'an in front of him, and pulled the thick beard on his lips. "Those people in Chang'an City have to wait for a long time to write poems, but Jia Wenshu wrote as soon as he wanted to do it, and came as soon as he said... Such a talented person turned out to be my colleague, which was really like a dream."
...
Chang'an.
After talking to a governor, Li Zhigang recorded some local customs and customs, as well as the means and feedback of governance, and felt that he had gained a lot.
He was not the late emperor and did not have that kind of experience. But he had his own way, which was to summon the governors below to ask about the situation below, even their methods of governing, including the effect.
After thinking about it over and over again, the entire Tang Dynasty would form a contour in his mind and gradually become more and more familiar.
This is his learning method.
"Your Majesty." Wang Zhongliang is here, "Li Yi Mansion is here."
"Let him come in." Li Zhi collected the information he had sorted out, wrote it clearly on which state it belongs to, who the governor was... and then put it away.
Li Yi's mansion came in, saluted, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, someone impeached Cui Yixuan."
"Why?" Li Zhi's eyes were slightly cold, and the file in his hand was rolled up. "Cui Yi-hyun is the chief minister of the Han Palace. Impulsing him is impeaching the Han Dynasty."
Li Yifu raised his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise."
This dog! It's natural that he doesn't even have old wishes.
Wang Zhongliang watched from the side and compared Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, thinking that Lao Xu was a good person and Li Yifu was a traitor.
Li Zhi obviously felt that Li Yi’s flattery was not as natural as Lao Xu, and asked in a deep voice: “Why are you impeached?”
Li Yifu’s subjective initiative is not enough!
Wang Zhongliang felt that this person was not proactive enough in his work. If Old Xu had been there, he would have explained his analysis long ago.
"He said he recommended Cui Jian, the magistrate of Lantian County. He said that Cui Jian was noble in character, but Cui Jian was shameless and openly hang out with a married woman, and his morality was corrupt..."
There was no warmth in Li Zhi's eyes, "This is to use Cui Jianzhi's affairs to make Cui's family look dirty. Who can do this?"
Li Yifu trembled for a moment and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, there are only... those people."
Those people refer to the Guanlong small circle that is currently at its peak.
Li Zhi recently praised several officials from Shandong gentry, including the Cui family. Unexpectedly, Cui Jian's incident occurred just a few days later.
"They then impeached Cui Yixuan, and they wanted to slap Cui and a Shandong family..." Li Zhi was a little annoyed, but he knew that he could not have an attack, otherwise his uncle and Chu Suiliang and others would join forces to make him fall into the mud.
The small circle not only controls the court, but also has strong strength in the army. This is a pattern that has been formed many years ago. When helping Yang Jian become emperor, the forces in these army played a huge role. When helping the old Li family rebel, these forces were also of great importance.
But now the world is peaceful, and such a huge force makes the emperor feel as if he is on his back and cannot rest assured.
"Drag!" Li Zhi said lightly: "Hold it first."
He was about to give a friendly glance at the Shandong family. If he was immediately slapped by a small circle, his emperor's face would really be unbearable.
People from the Shandong family will think that he is unreliable, and then abandon him and find other partners to cooperate.
It's really difficult to be an emperor!
Wang Zhongliang rushed to the front of Li Yi Mansion and said, "The Hundred Riders are already on the road and will not be able to arrive soon."
Li Zhi pondered for a moment, "Let the Grand Historian come and watch."
After a while, someone came to report.
"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson asked for a visit."
Li Zhi's body tightened first, then relaxed, and said with a smile: "Let your uncle come."
The file in his hand had been pinched into a ball, then let go of his hand and closed his eyes... When he opened his eyes again, a shy young man appeared.
Changsun Wuji came in, and after saluting, he asked with concern: "Is Your Majesty's health okay?"
"It's okay if my uncle is worried about it." Li Zhi smiled and said with a gentle look: "Uncle also needs to take care of his health. I will ask the imperial doctor to go to the mansion to see him. If so, I will let the imperial doctor take turns to watch at my uncle's house. I will feel relieved."
"This is not in accordance with the rules!" Changsun Wuji declined this kindness with great satisfaction, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Cui Jian has an affair with a married woman. There are many discussions everywhere in Chang'an. The old minister thinks that he should take action to punish him as soon as possible and severely punish him!"
Li Zhi smiled shyly, "What my uncle said is, it's just that Cui Jian... I sent someone to investigate, and I'll talk about it when I come back."
His responsibility is to delay for a while, and the rest is Cui's own business. If Cui cannot protect Cui Jian, he cannot blame him for sitting there.
Changsun Wuji looked at him and suddenly stepped closer. His obese body looked like a hill, which made people feel depressed.
Li Zhi smiled and even rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed, but the pressure dissipated.
Changsun Wuji stopped and sighed, "Zhi Nu... Cui's family is unreliable! There is only oneself in this aristocratic family, and there is nothing else. No matter how the world changes, they will never change, so... the old minister thought that if he should take action immediately and take down Cui Jian. Cui Yixuan recommended Cui Jian back then, he was also wrong and should be demoted!"
He has a bright eyes and will win!
Wang Zhongliang clenched his fists tightly and really wanted to rush up and punch Changsun Wuji.
Uncle, do you really think I don’t know what you are thinking? It’s just that you think the Shandong gentry is a big enemy and keep trying to weaken them.
Li Zhi was still smiling, like a boy next door, "Uncle said this very much... I'll let me think about it carefully, okay?"
Changsun Wuji laughed and was about to speak again when someone came outside and reported, "Your Majesty, the Hundred Cavalrymen are back from Lantian. Please see them outside the palace."
Li Zhi wanted to delay, but the Baiqi people came, and they must have brought news from Cui Jian.
Changsun Wuji wanted to laugh at his nephew's childishness, but he still held back.
