I have a backstage in Datang

I Have a Backstage in Datang Text Volume Chapter 398 [The favorite talent of the superior! 】 "Come, come, let's register for you."

Old He looked very happy, turned around and walked back into the house.

I saw him pick up the brush from the table, and first habitually stick out his tongue to add it lightly. Just this action left Gu Tianya and Li Shimin stunned.

The little girl Li Mingzhu was equally stunned, subconsciously stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of Gu Tianya's clothes, and shouted in amazement: "Uncle, uncle, have you seen that this official, Lao He, licks the brush with his tongue..."

Gu Tianya nodded subconsciously, and said dumbfoundedly: "This should be his habit!"

At this time, Lao He in the room was already sitting behind the table.

He put on a solemn posture, and his whole person revealed an inexplicable solemnity.That extremely serious look didn't seem like he was going to write, but rather like he was going to write a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.

He dipped the brush in the ink, carefully took out a booklet from the drawer, suddenly frowned for some reason, and muttered with a long sigh: "It's time to write again. Why did scholars invent writing?"

While speaking, he had a frowning face, the back of the hand holding the pen was tense, and his eyes were wide open as if he was about to go to the battlefield.

Suddenly he glared fiercely, and said in a voice that almost gritted his teeth: "Damn, fight, our old He has been reading for half a month, how can we be stumped by this writing, I will write what I can write, and I can't write." Just draw a circle."

As soon as these words came out of the house, everyone outside felt like they were struck by lightning.

circle?

Can't write calligraphy and painting circles?

The little girl Li Mingzhu opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Gu Tianya in disbelief and said, "Uncle, did you hear that? This official wants to use circles instead of writing."

Gu Tianya took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "I suddenly realized that I was very wrong. I shouldn't have imagined that I could train these veterans to become civil servants. They are suitable for the military, not these meticulous working office."

Just when Gu Tianya sighed bitterly.

He suddenly heard a loud laugh from Old He in the room.

Just listen to this guy proudly said: "Let's follow the suggestion of the scholar just now, and directly register a dispute with this group of migrating military family members. With this controversial registration, the military family members can go to the headquarters in the city to fight. The lawsuit, hahahaha, it's really wonderful..."

After he finished speaking triumphantly, he stabbed the booklet with the brush in his hand, but although he had put on a good posture, it was a pity that he couldn't write the first word, his face flushed immediately, and he hummed softly: "Damn, How do you write the word '文' in the document? I seem to have written it once yesterday, why did I suddenly forget it today? Please, please draw a circle first..."

So with a swipe of the pen, he suddenly drew the first circle on the register.

The faces of everyone outside the house twitched collectively, and there was a strange look in everyone's eyes.

However, Lao He in the room didn't care about other people's opinions at all. This guy took a brush and scribbled there by himself. Finally, he succeeded in writing a word. He was so happy that he couldn't help himself. He laughed and said, "That's all right." Is it? Our old He is also a person who can write! From now on, we are also scholars..."

After finishing speaking, his face suddenly changed, his head shook like a rattle drum, and he said again and again: "No, no, why can't we become a scholar, scholars have too many minds, and their minds are full of twists and turns. For example The two scholars who made suggestions just now, we can see that they are full of bad water."

The last sentence was a muttering, but the voice could still be heard clearly, the corners of Gu Tianya's eyes twitched a few times, and there was a look of dumbfounding on his face.

As for Li Shimin, it was even more serious, he gritted his teeth, and said with a muffled grunt: "It's very good, it's very good, dare to say I'm bad, dare to say I'm bad..."

As for the ministers hiding in the crowd, one or two of them all had strange expressions at this moment.

Suddenly Liu Hongji gently pulled the corner of Li Xiaogong's clothes, lowered his voice and said with a chuckle: "Jun Wang Hejian, do you think this official surnamed He has something wrong with his mind? Could it be that he can't detect it at all? Opposite him are His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and Lord Youyun..."

Li Xiaogong glanced at Liu Hongji, and said sarcastically: "If you didn't know His Majesty and Brother Gu before, I'm afraid you might not be as good as this official surnamed He. You even joked about other people's brain problems. Does your Liu Hongji have a good brain?" ?"

Liu Hongji was taken aback for a moment, then a little annoyed, staring and said: "Please explain to me clearly, why is our old Liu's brain not working?"

It's a pity that Li Xiaogong no longer paid attention to him, but turned his head and continued to pay attention to the situation over there.

Liu Hongji was so bored, he couldn't help but leaned in front of another minister, stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of the other minister's clothes, and asked with a low smile again: "Xu Shiji, do you think this official surnamed He is out of his mind?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Shiji was even more unwilling to talk to him, and directly squeezed to the side to avoid him far away. Liu Hongji immediately froze on the spot, his face embarrassed and a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, one of the ministers had a very good relationship with him. Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun, walked up to Liu Hongji quietly, and sighed in a low voice: "Brother Hongji, stop talking nonsense. The more you talk, everyone will laugh at you." You are more ruthless."

He is Liu Hongji's own brother-in-law, and he couldn't bear to see his brother-in-law being ridiculed.That's why I stood up to persuade, after all, broken bones are connected with tendons.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hongji frowned slightly, and said very puzzled: "Why is this?"

Zhang Liang turned his head to look at the other side of the room, and explained to him in a low voice: "This official, Lao He, may have fallen into Gu Tianya's eyes, and even our Majesty may have developed a love for money. As far as the superiors are concerned, they like this kind of subordinates the most. First, they have a straightforward temper, do things in a daze, and don't know how to twist and turn, and second, they insist on principles. let……"

Zhang Liang paused while talking, then continued to explain to Liu Hongji, and said: "For example, among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, there is a fellow who belongs to this situation. Brother Hongji, you may wish to recall the way that fellow Cheng Zhijie behaved." Is it very similar to this official, Old He? It's just that Cheng Zhijie is pretending to be crazy and stupid, deliberately pretending to be simple and vulgar in front of His Majesty, but this official, Old He, is because of his nature. The sentence he muttered just now is because of his personality... "

Zhang Liang stopped talking again, looked at Liu Hongji and said: "You understand now, this old man is the favorite talent of the superiors. Whether Gu Tianya or our Majesty, we have already developed a heart of appreciation for this man. Once they admire someone, how can they not give a position to reuse?"

Liu Hongji's eyes were dizzy when he heard it, and he said in a daze, "Only by this old He's muttering, you people can analyze so many things?"

Zhang Liang nodded slowly, and said with a smile, "It's so simple, only you can't figure it out."

While speaking, he suddenly looked at Liu Hongji with deep meaning, smiled lowly and said, "Actually, you also belong to Lao He."

Liu Hongji was in a daze, and said in astonishment, "Me?"

Zhang Liang smiled leisurely, and said with a bit of sobriety: "Otherwise, how could His Majesty tolerate your vulgarity and indulge you to often talk nonsense in the court. Hongji, you are actually the kind of subordinate that the superiors like most."

Liu Hongji stood there blankly, lost in confusion.

This guy was the son of an official in his early years, but what he likes most is to hang out with a bunch of street thugs. What he is best at is fighting with people, using his brain to think about things that he doesn't understand at all.

Later in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this guy defected to Li Shimin by chance. He was not smart enough, but he was a good fighter in battle, so he was deeply loved by Li Shimin, and gradually became a fierce general under the command of Tiance Mansion.

However, although this guy was trained by Li Shimin to be a fierce general, he himself didn't know the reason at all. He only thought that he was brave enough to fight, but he didn't understand that it was because his character reassured the superiors.

Zhang Liang suddenly stretched out his hand, patted Liu Hongji on the shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice: "Hongji, work hard. Now both of us have the chance to prosper forever. It is because of your personality that you have caused Your Majesty trusts you, and even Gu Tianya admires you very much. Although I belong to the same level in the court, my family's Yi'er has worshiped under the Gu family!"

He paused slightly while speaking, and said in a lower voice: "Gu Tianya has only seven true disciples in total, and these seven disciples are equivalent to his children. After Gu Tianya founds the country and proclaims himself emperor, all seven disciples will be crowned kings. Maybe... this also means that my family's Yi'er will go farther than me, and the future of our Zhang family rests on this child."

Liu Hongji's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "What did you say? Can Yi'er become king?"

His elder sister died early after marrying Zhang Liang, leaving behind only a single heir. As a real uncle, Liu Hongji has always pitied that child. At this moment, when he suddenly heard that the child could become king, one can imagine the surprise in his heart .

Zhang Liang was afraid that he would yell, so he quickly signaled him to shut up with his eyes. Liu Hongji responded very well this time, and he quickly shut his mouth obediently.

This guy even covered his mouth with his hands, for fear that he wouldn't be able to hold back his yelling, but he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, so he finally muttered with a smirk, "My nephew can become king!" , that little guy in Yi'er can become king, Gu Tianya, Gu Tianya, hurry up and become emperor..."

Zhang Liang was speechless and turned his head away from him.

……

It took a full cup of tea time for the old He in the room to finish writing the beginning of the register booklet.

At this time, according to the regulations, some questions have to be asked of the migrant people.

But seeing old He Dalala sitting in the house, looking at the women who had been led into the door by Tan Jiujiu, he said solemnly: "The next rules, let's ask, you answer, no nonsense, let alone talk. Make it up and make it up, do you understand?"

The women nodded quickly, feeling a little kicked in their hearts.

Lao He looked extremely solemn, and said solemnly again: "First of all, we want to ask you, where did you migrate from? What is your surname, what is your name, why did you come to Youzhou, and what did you bring with you? Is there any food to eat? ? Is there any money available? Who are you here to go to? Or is it purely fleeing famine?"

Good guy, there were several questions, and the eyes of the group of women were dizzy, obviously they couldn't remember so much at the moment.

Fortunately, Gu Tianya and others also squeezed into the room, and stood aside with a smile to remind them, so the women began to answer related questions one by one according to Gu Tianya's reminder.

"We came from Shandong. The name of our hometown is Jeju Prefecture. We live at the foot of Mount Tai. The village is called Zhaojiacun."

"My family's surname is Tian, ​​and the man in the family is named Zhao Laosi, so people in my family are called Zhao Tian."

"My man made great achievements on the battlefield, and now he is serving in Liaodong. I heard from the people in the yamen that he will not be able to return to his hometown in the future, so the slave's family moved with their children. We did not come to Youzhou to escape famine. .”

The woman who answered the question was Zhao Laosi's eldest daughter-in-law. At this time, she seemed very nervous, her voice was very incoherent.

However, Lao He suddenly raised his head, looked at her with flashing eyes, and said, "You just said that your man's name is Zhao Laosi? And he is still a person who works in Liaodong?"

Zhao Tianshi nodded subconsciously, and said in a low voice, "Yes, that's what the slave family answered."

Lao He suddenly waved his hand and said, "No, this answer doesn't count. You repeat it, and repeat it with a different way of saying it."

Zhao Tian was stunned for a while, and asked with a confused expression: "Why?"

Lao He's face pulled, and he said in a deep voice: "No reason, anyway, you have to say it again."

Gu Tianya looked on coldly, and explained to Zhao Tianshi with a low smile: "He is kindly helping you to answer the question again. This time, don't say that your man has military merits, let alone that you are here to join your own man Yes. You should answer that you are a refugee fleeing famine, so that you can note in the register that there is a dispute..."

Zhao Tian suddenly realized, and was inexplicably grateful.

She hurriedly reorganized her words, and replied: "My family is Zhao Tian's family, and they brought their children to Youzhou to flee famine."

Old He was very satisfied immediately, he laughed and said: "That's right, you are refugees."

After being instructed by Gu Tianya, Zhao Tian finally understood how to answer the questions, and then she no longer needed Gu Tianya's advice, and answered all the questions very 'reasonably'.

For example, 'Is there any food to eat? 'this problem.

Zhao Tian began to cry and Mo Yan wiped his tears, and replied: "My family has been hungry for several days, and the children have also been hungry for several days."

Another example is the question of 'is there any money available'.

Zhao Tianshi hugged his small package containing the money with all his strength, shook his head and said, "No, I have spent all my money."

This kind of scene of lying with wide-eyed eyes, and Lord Youyun personally pointing out the lie, is simply unprecedented in all ages, and the ministers in the courtyard are collectively dumbfounded.

……

Finally, the initial registration of this group of migrating military dependents was completed.

At this time, Lao He's face was serious again, and he took out a stack of papers from the drawer again. Those papers were all documents, and he wrote the words 'controversial' on the documents very solemnly.

There are three characters in which he can't actually write, but when he was about to draw a circle, Gu Tianya called out to him, so Gu Tianya personally helped him hold the pen and taught him each stroke by hand. Finished writing the words on the document.

The ministers outside watched this scene with envy.

Many people have already secretly recorded this official, Lao He, in their hearts.

Chapter 399 [We have no laws in Youzhou, rules are the greatest laws]

I have a background in Datang Chapter 399 of the main text volume [We have no laws in Youzhou, rules are the greatest laws] After a few cups of tea, outside the registration office.

Gu Tianya and Li Shimin stood side by side, with their hands behind their backs under a big tree beside the official road. Not far away was a bullock cart, which was slowly driving towards the gate of the city.

Suddenly Gu Tianya exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "It's really not easy, they finally got the registration documents!"

Li Shimin nodded, and said with a deep meaning: "Yes, it is not easy. But what is even more difficult is that you and my brother have really worked hard to pretend. Fortunately, no one saw through, otherwise it would be a big embarrassment..."

The emperor paused slightly while speaking, his face showed resentment, and he said again: "I am a majestic emperor, but I was scolded by a fat man. If this matter is spread, it will probably be written into the history books, even after thousands of years , but also be ridiculed and useless."

"Second brother, you are wrong. I don't think this is useless. On the contrary, it is a shining point in your life."

Gu Tianya glanced at Li Shimin, smiled and said: "If this matter is really written into the history books, people of later generations will be deeply moved after reading it. They may say, look, this is Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a dignified generation of emperors, But he can do it on his own terms, with a big heart, he goes after Yao, Shun and Yu..."

Li Shimin was quite moved, his eyes sparkled and he said: "Really? Will people in future generations really comment on me like this?"

Gu Tianya slowly raised his head, looked at a white cloud in the sky, and continued to smile: "It will definitely, I can guarantee it."

Li Shimin was in a good mood immediately.

At this time, Li Mingzhu, a little girl, stretched out her hand, gently tugged at the corner of Gu Tianya's clothes, raised her head and asked, "Uncle, there is something unclear about my niece. I want you to explain it to me so that I don't feel uncomfortable..."

Gu Tianya withdrew his gaze from the sky, lowered his head to look at the little girl, and joked, "You little girl is smart, and you were born with Su Hui. What you say you don't know is probably trying to make things difficult for uncle, right?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mingzhu's small face was serious, and she shook her head solemnly: "No, uncle, this time I am really puzzled, so I want to ask you for clarification."

Gu Tianya's expression immediately turned serious. He has always paid the most attention to the cultivation of juniors, so his tone is no longer joking, but solemnly said: "Okay, you ask a question! No matter what the confusion is, uncle, I will try my best to help you answer it. If even I can’t answer it clearly, then let’s go to someone else to ask. There are many learned people in the world, and someone will definitely be able to answer your question.”

Li Mingzhu pursed her lips, shook her head slightly before opening her mouth, and said, "No, you don't need to ask others. You should be able to answer this matter, because it is related to you."

With a slight movement in Gu Tianya's heart, he guessed the little girl's confusion in an instant. His eyes revealed a touch of gentleness, and he said softly: "Your confusion is because of the group of migrating military families just now, right?"

Li Mingzhu turned her head to look at the official road, looked at the bullock cart approaching the gate of the city, and said softly: "Yes, uncle. The reason why I am confused is precisely because of this group of military relatives... I got Baiqisi before. The spy’s urgent report said that someone was making trouble in the registration yard here. As for the reason for the trouble, it was to illegally register the military family members. At that time, my niece felt that this matter was serious, so she rushed to your study to disturb you.”

The little girl paused while talking, and then said: "My original idea was to ask you to come and take a look for yourself. As long as you see the scene of Tan Nineteen's quarrel, you will definitely punish this violation severely." And by punishing him, deter others from making mistakes, so that no one dares to touch the loopholes in the illegal registration of people's migration."

The little girl stopped talking again, and said again: "But to my niece's surprise, you didn't punish Tan Nineteen at all after you arrived. Instead, you and the emperor's second uncle personally helped this group of migrating soldiers. idea……"

"And that's where my niece's confusion lies. I don't understand what you mean by doing this. If you sympathize with the group of military dependents, you can help them in private. There's no need to act like this and ruin what you set yourself. Rules, right?"

"Breaking the rules is no small matter!"

The little girl said with a serious face, and said: "There is no law in Youzhou, and everyone knows that the rules you set are laws. And throughout the ages, the law is the foundation of stability. In the end, you took the lead in breaking the rules. This doesn't seem like your style, does it...?"

Gu Tianya listened with a gentle smile, and asked softly: "Is there any more? Keep talking!"

Li Mingzhu took a light breath, and continued: "If you realize that your policy is inappropriate, then you can issue a decree to amend it... You are the master of the entire Nether Cloud Land, and no one dares to disobey Your will, so as long as you issue this kind of decree, any policy can be modified instantly. But why? Why don't you do it?"

The little girl raised her face, with confusion in her eyes, and said: "You would rather pretend to be ordinary people with your second uncle, and let that official Lao He register in violation of the regulations by making suggestions, but why don't you want to amend the decree? Are there any hidden worries?"

Gu Tianya quietly listened to Li Mingzhu's question, and then smiled slightly: "First of all, my uncle wants to answer you. There is no hidden worry in doing this. The reason why you and your second uncle the emperor pretended to be ordinary people, and gave advice to others. I came up with an idea because I didn't want to make a big splash, but wanted to subtly change this matter..."

Li Mingzhu blinked, shook her head and said, "My niece didn't understand!"

Gu Tianya smiled, and said again: "Subtle and subtle, to put it bluntly, it is silent. It will not cause large-scale controversy, nor will it arouse too many people's suspicions. You will be surprised to find out, hey, we have a rule in Youzhou that is different from before."

Li Mingzhu continued to raise her face and asked, "Why?"

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the little girl's hair, and taught softly: "Girl, you just said that the law is the foundation of stability. It is precisely because it is the foundation that it is very taboo to change the order overnight. For example, the subsidy for the relocation of military relatives was a policy that my uncle and I just made a month ago. At that time, my idea was that a large number of soldiers would be stationed in Goguryeo from now on, and they could not be left alone away from their hometown, so I I want to take over their families, so that the soldiers will not suffer from homesickness..."
