Chapter 833 It turns out that there is really no gentleman in the world
The young leaves on the branches are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more insects. You can even see a beetle crawling on the trunk.
A hand appeared in front, the beetle raised its horn, and the clip opened and closed.
The hand was white, and with a flick of the finger, the beetle flew up.
Wang Zun stopped his hand and looked at the buds with his hands behind his back, "How about over there?"
Lin Xi said: "Lan Jing used to teach in Taixue, and many of his students were high-ranking officials. Later he became ill and returned home. After he recovered, he opened a private school at home.
This man prides himself on his lotus flower, his conduct is flawless, his reputation is good, and he is known as the gentleman of Northern Xinjiang."
"Um!"
At this time there was a commotion outside.
"Chang'an bows his head!"
"Xianggong Huang is safe!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"The deputy envoy is indeed the mainstay of our Northern Territory!"
"With the deputy envoy here, I can wait without worry!"
"..."
Wang Zun was shocked, "Chang'an bowed his head?"
Lin Xi said: "I don't know what means Yang Gou used to send the message. After he took countermeasures, it took us a while to get the news from Chang'an."
"There are many ways." Wang Zun said calmly: "For example, birds. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that the emperor actually bowed his head?"
He asked himself and answered, "Yang Xuan used the pressure of the northern Xinjiang army to fight to the death. What the emperor is good at is power. He can't fight desperately. He can predict what will happen."
Lin Xi praised: "Sir, you predicted in advance that Chang'an would bow his head, which persuaded Lan Jing to take action. At this moment, when the news came, Yang Gou's intention to rebel was clearly revealed."
"Heaven and earth are kings and masters. Not to mention heaven and earth, the emperor is the sky and the gods. This is the understanding of the people of the world for thousands of years.
Yang Gou took Huang Chunhui's incident as an opportunity to mobilize the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang.
He seemed to have succeeded, but he forgot that this sky is still the emperor's sky."
Lin Xi praised sincerely: "Sir, you are wise."
"Lan Jing wants to return to Chang'an." Wang Zun said sarcastically: "I gave him this opportunity, and the matter has been completed. I will send a letter to my family and arrange for him to enter the Sixth Department."
"Yes." Lin Xi responded, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Is the emperor really a god?"
Wang Zun sneered: "Have you ever seen a god playing with his daughter-in-law?"
Lin Xi suddenly realized, "Isn't that an animal? No, even an animal can't do such a thing."
…
Lan Jing looks like a standard gentleman.
The three strands of beard are dark and thin, and the eyes are so majestic.
It seems that if you say something wrong, he can scold you.
At the moment he is writing in the study.
Next to him, a man in his twenties looked at him with a smile.
"Good words!"
Seeing that Lan Jing had finished writing, the man took the brush and put it on the pen holder. "Sir's handwriting has become more and more majestic."
"I'm not old yet."
Lan Jing looked at what he had written, stroked his beard and said, "First of all, I want you to find those people who are meeting in the afternoon. How is this going?"
The man's name is Yuda, whose nickname is Xian, and he is Lan Jing's student.
"Most people said they wanted to come, but a few poor people said they had family matters and couldn't come."
"Those people are afraid of Yang Gou's authority, and they won't have any future prospects." Lan Jing picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned it to make the ink dry faster, "Thank you for your hard work running back and forth."
Yoda smiled and said: "Over the years, my husband has loved me very much, just like a mother-in-law. I have done some things for you, how can I still complain?"
Lan Jing smiled, "You and I share the same love as father and son. I think it will be a good story in the future. This matter needs to be urgent. Once successful, you will follow me to Chang'an."
"Yes!" Yoda said with concern: "Sir, Yang Gou is arrogant, you must be careful!"
Lan Jing sighed: "Yang Dog is domineering in northern Xinjiang, doing whatever he wants, leaving a fishy mess all over the ground!
Before I went to Chang'an, I was honored to have contributed to Sangzi's efforts to eliminate this great harm. As for the consequences, I had already ignored them. What's more...
I am a righteous man, what can they do to me?"
Yuda said: "Sir is known as the Gentleman of Northern Xinjiang, and even the Zhao family in Lu County praises him. However, Yang Gou is a murderer without batting an eye, so it is better for you to be more cautious."
Lan Jing waved his hand, "I walk upright and sit upright. Even if the gods come, I can still sit upright as before. I have no guilt in my heart, so why should I be afraid? Let's go!"
Yoda resigned.
Lan Jing sat down and closed his eyes to relax.
The sages said that if your mind is empty, you are a god.
He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.
Later, the guests arrived.
Lan Jing smiled and went out to greet the guests.
Then there was a banquet.
Scholars are naturally different when entertaining banquets, so they have to compose poems.
Everyone gave their reviews one by one, and most of the reviews of the orchid spots were good, so everyone was very happy.
"Everyone."
Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Lan Jing clapped his hands, and when everyone looked over, he said: "This time Northern Xinjiang threatens Your Majesty, and even wants to kill the whole family of emperors. I was very panicked after hearing this.
The emperor is the leader of a country. If the emperor's majesty is no longer there, the entire Tang Dynasty will fall apart. How will you wait?"
"It's okay, not bad."
Everyone who came today was not short of money.
But I still humbly say it’s good.
Lan Jing sighed: "But if the Tang Dynasty falls apart, you are all scholars. Think of the tragic situation in the last years of the Chen Kingdom. There are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild! Every time I see this, I will..."
He flicked away tears from the corners of his eyes, "Not long ago, Northern Xinjiang sent troops southward, but fortunately they did not take action. But even so, such actions are close to treason. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, have you ever heard of anyone being so domineering?"
Everyone looked grim.
Yoda said: "Only in the last years of the Chen Kingdom, when those generals were like vassal towns, could there be such domineering generals."
Lan Jing sighed, "The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty is about to begin. I still thought that this prosperous age would last for tens of millions of years. But it turns out that the deputy envoy is very ambitious and is ready to break all this."
"Sir, be careful that the walls have ears." Yoda looked nervous.
Lan Jing sneered, "I have prepared a suicide note. If Yang Xuan wants to kill someone, then he will come after me. If you can use my sex to make the world alert, I will die without regrets. I just want to die quickly!"
A man was moved and said, "Mr. Lan has no hesitation, how can we fall behind?"
"Exactly so!"
"..."
Then comes the crusade.
After half a drink, Lan Jing said: "Everyone, Chang'an is watching Northern Xinjiang!"
Everyone understood and raised their glasses.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"I wish your Majesty a long life without borders!"
"I wish Daqian a prosperous life for thousands of years."
The banquet was a great success.
Immediately, news of Yang Xuan's rebellion spread in many places in northern Xinjiang.
Liu Qing caught Yang Xuan who was about to inspect the spring plowing, "There is a commotion outside and you actually ignored it?"
Yang Xuan said: "Mr. Liu, I have handed over this matter to Han Ji and Bao Dong."
Those in positions of authority should not do everything personally, otherwise they will die of exhaustion before any great undertaking is accomplished.
Moreover, if you do everything yourself, what will your subordinates think?
So after Yang Xuan left the matter out, he only listened to the report and did not interfere much.
Han Ji and Bao Dong are discussing this matter.
"Lan Jing took action, why don't you move?"
Han Ji also has a lot of things to do. As a counselor, he usually needs to collect a lot of information, characters, situations... Only by integrating these people can he make a plan easily.
Bao Dong said: "Wait until he gets carried away."
"What means?"
"Jinyiwei, I would like to ask Mr. Han to say hello and ask them to cooperate with me."
"Okay. However, I would like to ask, what means have you prepared?"
"Sir, just watch."
Bao Dong found He Lianyan.
"Please also ask Commander Helian to send some capable personnel to investigate Lan Jing."
Helianyan just received the greeting from Han Ji, "What are you checking?"
"Check out his misdeeds!"
He Lianyan said: "Lan Jing is a well-known gentleman in Northern Xinjiang. He follows the rules in everything he says and does, and never violates them.
I heard that Lang Jun ordered you to deal with this person, but it took you until today to come up with this method..."
"There has never been a true gentleman in this world!" Bao Dong said sincerely.
"You mean, that's a hypocrite?"
"A true gentleman must be dull." Bao Dong said.
"What if he is truly a gentleman?" He Lianyan crossed his arms, wanting to see what he was like.
Bao Dong lowered his eyes, "He must be a hypocrite."
He Lianyan clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, he is a talent that Mr. Lang values. Jielong, please arrange for someone to go."
"yes."
He Lianyan went to look for Han Ji.
"What did he say?" Han Ji asked.
"He asked me to come here to investigate Lan Jing's misdeeds."
"Something interesting."
"He also said that Lan Jing must be a hypocrite."
Han Ji raised his eyebrows, "You can still be shameless. I am becoming more and more interested in him. What does Commander Helian think?
He Lianyan smiled sweetly, "You are forming gangs under Lang Jun's nose, aren't you afraid that Lang Jun will take action against you one day?"
Han Ji said: "There are more and more people around Lang Jun. This is the so-called birds of a feather flock together. Everyone has different ideas, so just stay polite."
Why can we get along with each other? It’s because we have the same goals..."
He smiled and said, "We all hope that Lang Jun can take that step as soon as possible, but other people, some say it should be slower, and some say... Isn't it good to live in peace? Maybe when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be right
Northern Xinjiang looks at it differently."
"Impossible." He Lianyan shook his head, "In the eyes of the emperor, any minister who has ignored the emperor, no matter who he is, cannot be used. In fact, he will have to die to feel at ease.
Therefore, since Lang Jun slapped the emperor, he can only keep moving forward in this life. If he stops, it will be a disaster. And you and I will also die without a burial place."
"It's good if you can understand this." Han Ji took a sip of tea and said, "Bao Dong thinks the same way. Let's all prosper together."
"A humiliation for all!"
"so……"
"Jin Yiwei will do our best to help him!"
He Lianyan left, and before taking him away, he asked: "Mr. Han, is it terrible that he will be ruined and die?"
Han Ji was sitting in the duty room, the spring breeze blowing in from outside, making people feel intoxicated.
He held the tea cup and said with a smile: "In this life, I will help my lord reach the summit of Chang'an and leave his name in history! If I can't, life is worse than death!"
…
The Jin Yiwei started to move.
Lan Jing's past experiences were found out one by one.
"Flawless!"
Bao Dong came to Jinyiwei and looked at the information, "No!"
Jielong said: "We who went to check him out all admired him... This man can be said to be a breath of fresh air.
When entertaining guests, the dishes were no more than three flavors, and the wine was the worst, watery and sour.
Wear two pieces of clothing interchangeably and mend any tears.
The same is true for my young family. The whole family doesn't look like former Imperial College professors, but rather like common people."
Bao Dong looked up after reading the news, "There is no true gentleman in the world! The more innocent you are, the more evil you are!"
Jielong frowned, "Why?"
Bao Dong said: "Humans have desires. Even if I can suppress them, what about my wife, children, and children? Can I just sit back and watch?"
"But there are some people who are dedicated to serving the country!" Jielong felt that Bao Dong was overgeneralizing.
"I admit this." Bao Dong said: "But most of those people are sincere... Anyone who is dedicated to serving the country is passionate about doing things and being a good person.
What does it look like for a person to have ideals? Hmm!"
Jielong thought for a while, "It should be... no hesitation!"
"Think about Lan Jing again, what is he passionate about? What is he sincere about? What ideals does he have? Why does he hesitate to spread rumors to slander the husband?"
Bao Dong said sincerely: "Believe me! Go and investigate, and continue to investigate. If people like him are gentlemen, I will return to metaphysics and never leave the mountain!"
Jin Yiwei's men were dispatched again.
…
"Sir, the situation is great!"
Yoda hurriedly came to Lan Jing's house.
"Calm it down!"
Lan Jing was reading, holding a scroll in one hand and holding the other behind his back. He frowned and said, "I taught you not to panic when something happens. Look at you. Take a deep breath and suppress your emotions."
Yoda stopped and took a deep breath, "Many people outside say that you are a gentleman from Northern Xinjiang. You said that Yang Xuan's actions are tantamount to conspiracy and rebellion, so that must be the case."
"Is there still talk about Yang Xuan giving Chang'an a slap in the face?"
"If most of them are missing, the people will keep silent about this matter."
"It can be seen that the idea that the emperor is a god is deeply rooted in people's hearts."
Lan Jing said with a smile: "This matter is finally done, and you have contributed a lot."
Yoda looked at Mr. Kelanjing and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
Yoda resigned.
Later, a guest came to the Lan family.
"Mr. Lan has high prestige and good methods."
"That thing..."
"Yang Gou is domineering and there is no way he will take revenge on you sir. We will set off for Chang'an in three days."
"good!"
The person who came has left.
Lan Jing changed into a cloth, took a bamboo hat and left the house.
After leaving the house, he walked around a few alleys and put on his bamboo hat.
Look left and right.
No one.
He walked all the way deeper into the alley.
When he arrived at the door of a house, he looked around again and gently knocked on the door.
The door opened, and there was a woman inside. After seeing him, she said angrily: "Damn you, why haven't you been here for half a month?"
Lan Jing went in, looked around again, and closed the door.
"I'm going on a long trip in a while."
"How soon will you be back?"
"Most of the year!"
"What about the money to get Yue Tower?"
"I'll leave the money with you first...I'll see, why don't you advance some money to me first?"
"How much?"
“Just advance two years’ income!”
"So many?"
"Without my connections, how can you open your brothel?"
"Okay, okay! Damn it, come quickly."
"I'm not very interested today."
"Then why are you touching my butt?"
"..."
Immediately, there was some faint movement inside.
Outside the door, a man leaned against the door, as if taking a rest.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"It turns out that there really are no gentlemen in this world!"
