Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Finally, the clouds opened to see the moon, and the days of wasting time in Hua Nian were over, and the cold heart was hot again. This time, the Holy Son of Heaven was recruited to return to the imperial capital. Straight to the sea!

After a song, when the lingering sound has dissipated, Kong Gui put down the wine bottle and stood up leisurely, "It's hard to find a bosom friend, but only this one song has exhausted the meaning of mountains and rivers in the Ming Dynasty. The song is exhausted, and the wine is also exhausted. It's time to go, let's go!"

When Tang Cheng was about to get up and send them to the carriage, Kong Gui smiled and pressed his hand to him, and then walked to the row of carriages under the pavilion first.

……

After returning to the city from the Ten Mile Changting Pavilion, Tang Cheng's carriage drove directly to the Longmen Inn.

Still in the small backyard of the inn, Tang Cheng, Jia Zixing and Tu Yezhuo gathered together.

Jia Zixing and Tu Yezhuo's faces were very solemn, and for a moment the whole room seemed to be relatively silent.

Waiting quietly to eat up a cup of tea and seeing that no one spoke, Tang Cheng put the empty tea cup on the table next to him, "Rao Le is in such a situation, we have to have a way to deal with it, since you don't Said, then do it according to me", and then clearly laid out the regulations that he had thought about a few days ago.

Hearing that Tang Cheng wanted him to open the border and allow Qian Tiancheng's army to enter, Tuye Zhuo's already solemn face changed again, not only him, but also Jia Zixing who was sitting next to him also looked distressed.

Seeing them like this, Tang Cheng looked at Tu Yezhuo and sneered coldly: "There is a big fight over Rao Le, not to mention the current business, the Longmen Grassland can't keep it, even today the Tuye patriarch still has the mind to play tricks, hum ,admire!".

After saying this, Tang Cheng didn't wait for Tu Yezhuo to answer, and continued to turn his head to Jia Zixing with a sneer and said: "Now the captain's salary in Longmen County in January is more than the salary given by the imperial court in a year. At that time, Lord Duwei was quite straightforward, why is it so embarrassing now! Hey, Lord Jia, don’t forget that once the Dragon Gate suffers, it will not only cut off your fortune, but also the livelihood of thousands of brothers. brought his family to Longmen County."

"You..." Cannibalism is short-mouthed and soft-handed, Jia Zixing's anger finally turned into a helpless sigh in Tang Cheng's cold eyes, "You don't know, the military order was issued by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion two days ago, strictly The Tiancheng army is guarding Suoyang Pass tightly, and must not interfere with Rao Le's affairs."

"Suoyang Pass must be guarded well, but there can't be 8000 troops on this pass." Tang Cheng refused to give up half a step, "I just borrowed thousands of idle troops to show off on the Longmen grassland. The place where the Tiancheng army is trained, and when the situation is urgent, it is only natural for your lord to take soldiers and horses to the Longmen grassland to practice riding and archery, so why is it just meddling in the joy of life?".

Tang Cheng's current appearance only made Jia Zixing involuntarily think of the scene when the two met for the first time in Baiyang Town. Now he is even more dangerous than then, which is clearly revealed in his eyes. Jia Zixing, who dares to do any risky things, has no doubt that as long as he shakes his head and refuses now, Tang Cheng will definitely be able to do something to instigate Tiancheng's army to mutiny. With so many ladder fields in Xigu, he has the capital!

Thoughts turned sharply in his mind, Jia Zixing finally gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, I will do as you said. I will personally take 4000 people to the Longmen Grassland, but there is one thing I have to say first. It is okay to put on a posture, but the headquarters will not fight with Rao." Le Xi will take over the battle, unless there is a military order from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, otherwise it will not work under any circumstances."

"It's up to you! We are all on the same boat, and I can still see with my own eyes that the captain was dismissed for violating military orders." Tang Cheng laughed a few times and turned around, "Clan Chief Tuye, everyone is here. At this time, the strong man in your clan who can ride and shoot should also move. Since you need to be strong in order to shock people. In addition, you should also use the relationship you have maintained with Rao Le for many years. Useful, if there is any news, it is better to know earlier!".

After the meeting of the three of them ended, Baiyang Town and Longmen Grassland burst into commotion. A few days later, 8000 members of the Tiancheng Army came out in full force, leaving 4000 troops stationed at Suoyang Pass, and the remaining 4000 troops went straight without stopping. Outside the customs, under the personal leadership of Captain Jia Zixing, he rushed all the way to the Longmen Grassland.

The desolate sound of ox horns sounded everywhere on the Longmen Grassland, each Xi Ren Ding Zhuang put down the shepherd's whip in his hand, picked up the bow and knife that had been sharpened last winter, and gathered in the patriarch's tent.

Eight days after the meeting that day, a cavalry team of nearly [-] people had gathered by the boundary river separating Longmen Grassland from Rao Le. Hehe.

Chapter 2 Seventy: Tang Cheng's New Official Position

Since Zhang Liang followed Li Longji, although he has been mainly responsible for logistics, and he has a lot of contacts with merchants in order to raise money, he is still a scholar in his bones, and his daily pastime is reading and chanting Fengyue. It can be said that it is well deserved for Gui and others to travel together.

Yunyue traveled three thousand miles, and there was almost no other way to relieve the loneliness of the journey except chatting in the rocking carriage, and these demoted officials were also willing to chat with him to get the latest news about Chang'an and the court.

After running for thousands of miles, under Zhang Liang's deliberate actions, he not only established some personal relationships with these officials, but also explained many other situations clearly, such as why the court thought of them at this time, The reason for recalling it to Chang'an...

The long journey was tiring, so when they finally left Xinfeng County and saw the Baqiao and the Chang'an City Wall behind the bridge, almost the whole team couldn't help cheering, even Kong Gui couldn't help but walk away. Get off the carriage and walk towards Baqiao like everyone else.

The willows are full of smoke and spring on the banks of the bank, climbing and folding into pedestrians every year.As soon as you cross the Baqiao, you will be Chang'an, so this place has become the most famous place to welcome and see off guests. The woman who sold willow branches in bamboo baskets, Kong Gui and others all stopped in unison.

One year spent similar, each year is different.The foreground remains the same, but the personnel and affairs are completely different. Three years later, when they walk on this bridge that can be called the dividing line of the imperial capital, how can Kong Gui and others not be full of thoughts.

A sudden welcome ceremony dispelled the newly raised thoughts of the officials. The tune was really abrupt. After Kong Gui took a few steps forward so that his eyes could bypass the shelter in front, he saw Baqiao. On the other side of the pavilion, which has been emptied, there is a group of musicians manipulating musical instruments, which is where the welcome song comes from. A wealthy young man wearing a top-quality single-silk Luo Ming yellow tunic shirt stands on the steps of the pavilion. However, behind him on the official road was a group of scholars in green robes and Confucian uniforms. Looking at the green area, there were no less than a hundred people.

Although the Li and Tang courts did not forbid officials and common people to wear yellow clothes, this pure bright yellow color can only be used by the royal family. When Kong Gui was looking at these people, Zhang Liang walked up to him with a smile on his face, "His Royal Highness Come and welcome, Duke Gui, just wait here and go."

"Prince!" Kong Gui and the others were shocked, and walked over while stroking the clothes that were a little wrinkled from sitting for a long time.

Before his group got off the bridge, Li Longji had already reached the bridge head from there, bowed his hands and said in a loud voice: "You are all close ministers of the prince Jiemin, the elder brother, and they are sincere only because Wei Ni exercised power. I am wronged and demoted thousands of miles away, and my servant Chengji's elder brother lived in the East Palace. It is only now that I can avenge my grievances. I often feel ashamed when I think about it at night. Fortunately, the holy son of heaven is so wise that I can meet with you today. I am very fortunate!"

As Li Longji said in his mouth, he had already walked up to Kong Gui and stretched out his hand to support his arm. Seeing this scene, there was a lot of restlessness among the scholars on the roadside outside the pavilion.

Looking at the heroic Li Longji beside him, and then looking at the group of young scholars not far away, Kong Gui finally did not break free from Li Longji's support, and his lips trembled slightly: "The imperial court's will for the former prince is..." .

"The Holy Son of Heaven issued an edict a few months ago to chase after his elder brother as Crown Prince Jiemin and to be buried with him in Dingling." Hearing this, Kong Gui shook his head, "This servant has heard that what I am asking is the original text of His Majesty's imperial decree." .

Li Longji, who was walking forward with Kong Gui on his own, stopped at his pace and pondered for a while, then recited the content of Li Chongjun directly mentioned in the imperial decree of the day, "Chongjun, son of the great thousand, Yuanliang guard. Go to the room, Trapped in slander and jealousy. Don't look at the iron battleaxe, stealing armored soldiers lightly, and punishing the barbarians in the north, all of them are sad; now the four evils are salty, how can they chase after ten, Fang Shen's injustice of red dizziness, and the pain of Huangquan, can be given to the crown prince." .

After Li Longji finished reciting, all the officials behind Kong Gui clapped their hands to the north and said: "Your Majesty is holy!" After saying that, they were all sad, and some even had tears in their eyes because they couldn't hold back their emotions. of.

After listening to Li Longji's silent recitation of the imperial decree, Kong Yu, who had always acted steadily, suddenly had his eyes reddened. The former emperor's prince did all kinds of things, and it's all due to his ineffective persuasion!" As soon as he finished speaking, two old muddy tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Brother Xian couldn't bear to see Wei Wu go against the party and exercise power, and it was also because of his carelessness. Sir, he had fulfilled his duty as a courtier, so there is no need to blame yourself too much," Li Longji said, raising his hand and pointing at the green-coated scholar: "These Guozi scholars all came here spontaneously after hearing the news of Mr.'s return to Beijing today. Fortunately, the news is not too widely spread, otherwise the Guozijian will be empty today." Diluted the mourning with laughter After the atmosphere, Li Longji continued: "The scholars are full of respect for their masters, and the husband should come forward to comfort him."

After returning from exile, the gentleman with half-spotted hair on his temples and the passionate Imperial Academy scholars got together, and the scene where the teachers and students met outside the pavilion was really touching. Seeing the venerable gentleman so exhausted and haggard, the scholars were certainly heartbroken, and their hearts were broken. The excited Kong Gui also burst into tears.

This welcome commotion lasted for a long time, and it was more than half an hour when everyone set off for the city.In Li Longji's large felt car, Zhang Liang looked through the window at the scene of those young scholars surrounded by Kong Guixuan's car, sighed and said with a smile: "The descendants of Kong Sheng and the identities of the leaders of Shilin are indeed true." Well, His Highness's citation of these people back to Beijing not only gives them more help in the court, but also draws their attention to scholars, which is really a wonderful strategy that kills two birds with one stone! Tang Wuque's idea is really a stroke of genius!".

"The authorities are confused!" Li Longji by the car window looked away from the outside and sat up straight, "You said in your last letter that you had been in Longmen County for several days. How is Tang Cheng doing now?".

"It was good to see him when I went to Rao Le last year. When I see him again this time..." Zhang Liang shook his head wordlessly, "Your Highness, how is the situation in Rao Le now?".

Hearing Zhang Liang ask about this, Li Longji frowned, "I'll talk about this later, while there is still some time before returning to the city, please tell me about Tang Wuque."

"According to what I saw in Longmen County this time, Tang Cheng is not only good at planning, he is also capable of appeasing the people..." Amidst the rumbling of the carriage, Zhang Liang will prepare the two meetings with Tang Cheng and the situation in Longmen County After speaking in detail, Li Longji listened attentively, with extra care.

"This Tang Wuque... What a Tang Wuque...Mingzhi, your trip to Yangzhou in the past was good!".

"A lord who descends from the sky must be accompanied by good ministers. This is the so-called meeting between monarchs and ministers in history books. From Tang Wuque and others, we can also see that His Highness is the bell of destiny, and his subordinates should congratulate His Highness!", Zhang Zhang After Liang Gong cupped his hands, he continued: "Before leaving Longmen this time, Tang Wuque personally told his subordinates that he would like to return to Chang'an. It is a pity that such a good talent as him is sent far away. What is the best arrangement, Your Highness?" .

"I'll talk about this matter later," Li Longji waved his hand, and Zhang Liang was surprised to find that His Highness not only did not have the joy he expected after hearing the news that Tang Cheng was willing to come back, but a layer of helplessness welled up between his brows color.

After entering Chang'an City, he first went to the official building specially set up by the Ministry of Officials for local officials who came to Beijing, and then Li Longji personally hosted a banquet for Kong Gui and others. Zhang Liang helped Li Longji, who was drunk, get on the felt car and go back to the East Palace.

The East Palace is located in the palace city behind the imperial city. The felt car entered the imperial city directly through the Suzaku gate instead of the small side gate. Zhang Liang was surprised to see the Honglu Temple in the imperial city, which used to be quite leisurely. The yamen actually showed a rare busy scene.

"For more than a month, Honglu Temple has been the busiest among all the temple supervisors in the imperial city." Li Longji, who was also looking out of the window, spoke with a strong hint of alcohol, "Not only Songmo and Shiwei in the north The Governor's Mansions of Heishui, Heishui, and Bohai successively sent Wenhonglu Temple to invite missions to go to Beijing for pilgrimage. Even the small states such as Kucha and Gaochang within the jurisdiction of the Anxi Governor's Mansion followed suit. Li Yanji's death is really a wild Restless."

"Your Highness means..."

"Are these people really here for the Son of Heaven? They are all here to inquire about the situation of the court. They have noticed something from Rao Le's affairs, and they are afraid that the court will change the regulations for the various tribes." At this point, Li Longji sighed helplessly, "Now it seems that the imperial court's direct intervention in the matter arranged by King Xi this time is indeed a bit too much, and it has caused the hearts of the four tribes to be unstable."

It seems that these Tibetan tribes are worried that Rao Le’s precedent will eventually affect their own tribe, but Zhang Liang did not expect that the death of Li Yanji would cause such a big shock in the whole Tang Dynasty. After a moment, he hurriedly asked Said: "How will the court deal with this matter?".

"On the first day of next month, Father will summon all the envoys stationed in the capital to accompany the Taimiao, and recite the old edict of Emperor Taizong's "Hai Nei Ru Yi" in the ceremony to calm the hearts of the four barbarians," he said with his eyes slightly closed. When he said these words, Li Longji's hands were clenched together without knowing it, and a look of humiliation was faintly visible on his unwilling face.

"This... what about Rao Le Li Chengzhong?", every time Rao Le takes over as King Xi, the imperial court will also give him a national surname in the imperial edict, and Li Chengzhong is the name of King Xi who just took over the throne.The emperor reiterated the imperial edict in front of all the envoys in the imperial temple. This move itself was undoubtedly the most obvious signal that the imperial court gave up directly intervening in the affairs of Rao Le. Zhang Liang was thinking about Rao Le all the way. This question.

"Old Zhao of Honglu Temple lost Qingzheng's position due to this incident. As for Li Chengzhong, the imperial court will send an official to the Raole Governor's Mansion to protect his life. King, the court still has to take care of this face, as for the throne... It is impossible for the court to directly intervene in the current situation, let alone send troops." When Li Longji said this in a waning mood, Li Longji suddenly opened his eyes. With slightly closed eyes, "It is a great humiliation to the imperial court that the kingdom of heaven should be coerced by barbarians. Tomorrow, you can witness that if there is a day in the Japanese palace, you will be humiliated by Yixue today."

Zhang Liang was a personal participant in the Rao Le incident. He was a little flustered when he heard the news. At the same time, he naturally thought of Tang Cheng who worked closely with Rao Le. "Your Highness, the more so, Yifa should have transferred Tang Wuque back sooner."

"It's late." When Li Longji uttered these two words heavily in his mouth, Li Longji closed his eyes again as if he didn't dare to look at Zhang Liang's eyes. Rao Le Dudufu Sima".

Zhang Liang stood up abruptly, "What?".

"I have tried my best to refute this matter, but... Father Emperor has accepted his request."

"Tang Cheng is only the magistrate of the eighth rank now. Although the previous Sima of the Rao Le Dudu Mansion is just a decoration, he is a rank of the sixth rank after all. He moved two ranks to the fifth rank at a time! How can His Majesty agree to such a recommendation?".

"Mingzhi, do you still remember Yu Dongjun's road construction in Shannan Dongdao? After the road construction was completed, Yu Dongjun asked Tang Cheng for his merits and intended to transfer him to the Ministry of Industry after the road was completed. The meritorious service was suppressed in the political affairs hall due to Taiping's instruction, until it was submitted to the father's case yesterday; in addition, Tang Cheng's meritorious service in the Wanqi army was also revealed. With these two great achievements, It is enough to relocate two ranks. In addition, he is in Longmen, so he is the most familiar with the Rao Le situation among the current officials of the imperial court. At this sensitive moment, the officials sent by the imperial court to the Rao Le Dudu Mansion cannot It’s too high, and Tang Cheng really became the perfect candidate after several times, so much so that Bengong was indisputable in the Imperial Study Room yesterday.”

Speechless, Zhang Liang was completely speechless. After standing in a daze for a while, he said with great difficulty: "Tang Cheng has made great achievements many times since he followed His Highness, but...he even made a wish before his subordinate came back." Going back to Chang'an, now that he is inadvertently serving in Rao Le, he will be killed, and the imperial court issued an edict, but let him... ".

"I know, Mingzhi, I have thought about what you said..." At this moment, the atmosphere in the felt car was extremely serious, and Li Longji still closed his eyes tightly, "I have owed him a lot, But what if there is Taiping holding back everywhere now? We can only remember his merits first and reward them together in the future."

After another period of silence, Zhang Liang asked suddenly: "Longmen is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, Tang Cheng is just a county magistrate, how could Taiping suddenly think of him?".

"Fortune comes with misfortune! Although Kong Gui and others were able to return to the capital this time, it was precisely because they made Taiping notice Longmen that Tang Cheng naturally..."

After hearing this reason, Zhang Liang really couldn't say anything. After a long time, all the thoughts in his mind turned into a deep sigh, "God's will, God's will!".

Chapter 271

Because Tang Cheng, the magistrate of Longmen County, was transferred to Sima of Rao Le's governor's mansion, it was the emperor's order, and Rao Le's current situation was really critical, so the Ministry of Officials showed unprecedented efficiency in handling this matter. Even the transfer documents, silver tortoises for official identification, sixth-rank official uniforms, and court boards were sent to Longmen by the frontier troops without going through the normal post-transmission system. The officials who delivered the official documents still felt uneasy, so they spent nearly half an hour in the Ministry of War, and finally carried the emperor Lao Tzu out, and finally succeeded in sticking three feathers on the package.

When Ji Jiaobi, who was on duty for this task, saw the three feathers on the package, he immediately had a bitter look on his face like eating coptis, "Damn it, I'm out of luck this time!", spit from the bottom of my heart It was spitting and scolding, but his movements were not slow at all.

The captain's feather book flies to the vast sea, and Shan Yu hunts the fire to shine on the wolf mountain.The feather book is not easy to use, but once it is used, the book can't be stopped, from the moment it is issued until it is finally delivered, there is no stop, even at night.

As soon as the feather book came out, he was as anxious as sparks. When Tang Cheng received the package with his signature and seal in the hands of the dripping hands, it was only more than ten days before the official department sent these things.

After hearing that the object was delivered by the official department, Tang Cheng's heart suddenly tightened, "Are you going to leave Longmen and return to Chang'an so soon?" Issued a letter to Yu about the transfer of a foreign county magistrate back to the capital.

"Haosheng will arrange board and lodging for him." After explaining to the porter, Tang Cheng stopped guessing and walked into the yamen. Just entering the gate, he happened to meet Zhang Xiangwen who was walking across.

"Brother", as soon as Zhang Xiangwen opened his mouth, he noticed the package in Tang Cheng's hand. The three feathers on it were really eye-catching. "Feather Shu! What's the matter?" he asked, and his feet turned around Follow Tang Cheng and walk in.

"Aren't you going out?".

"I've only heard about Yu Shu before, but this is really the first time I've seen it. Brother, what's the big deal?".

"I haven't watched it yet, and I don't know." Tang Cheng shook his head, and after a pause, he said, "But looking at this posture is probably not a good thing."

After Tang Cheng unpacked the package in the office, the first thing that appeared was the sixth-rank official uniform, "Brother, you have been promoted, tsk tsk, you are still a sixth-rank official!" The tortoise bag grabbed it, "That's right, it's a silver tortoise, mother, the officials are also snobbish, and the workmanship of the sixth-grade silver tortoise is much better than that of the eighth-grade copper tortoise."

The silver tortoise bag was snatched by Zhang Xiangwen, and Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to pick up the court board. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, only officials of the sixth rank and above were eligible to participate in the Great Court Meeting. Now that there are all these things, it seems This promotion is real.

While the two brothers were looking at the items in their hands, there was an untimely knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in!".

The door opened, and Jia Xu, Qian Sanma, and the judges from the yamen came in together, and Qian Sanma, who was behind Jia Xu, walked in and said loudly: "My lord, there are more than 4 people with nine surnames." Hu Du has moved here, and there are so many things to do, we have to figure it out together..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already seen these things spread out on Tang Cheng's case, so he couldn't speak the original words anymore, and after waiting for a while, his throat became dry: "My lord... want to go?", his words As soon as he came out, the judges all turned their eyes from the official uniform to Tang Cheng's face.

"Congratulations, my lord." Jia Xu, who was the first to react from this unexpected incident, said something that should be said on this occasion, but even he himself could hear how insincere the words of congratulations were, and there was nothing wrong with what he did. A little festive!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole office room became extremely strangely dignified, and the eyes of the judges were intertwined with panic.

Tang Xianzun has been promoted and is leaving...how can he leave?He left here... what will happen to Longmen County?

"The county magistrate jumped from the eighth rank to the sixth rank. This is a super move, and it is a great thing. Look at your dejected looks." Zhang Xiangwen stopped calling elder brother when there were outsiders, and looked at Jia Xu and others with dissatisfaction. After a glance, he turned his head and urged with a smile: "My lord, open the official document quickly and see what official is promoted?".

The county magistrate with the highest rank in Longmen County is the magistrate of the eighth rank. No matter what official he is promoted to, this small yamen will not be able to accommodate him after he reaches the sixth rank. Thinking of leaving Longmen at this time, Tang Cheng feels the same as Jia Xu and the others were equally complicated. When he finally picked up the official document after hesitating for a long time, he didn't feel the joy of being promoted in his heart.

No matter how complicated the mood was, the official document was finally opened, and when the result finally came out, these few dozen words poured Tang Cheng from head to toe like a basin of ice water.

Because there are subordinates here, Zhang Xiangwen can't go up to read the content of the official document casually, as if he was scratching his anxious heart. After waiting for a while, Tang Cheng didn't speak, so he couldn't help asking: "My lord, what's the matter?" , What fat vacancy did the Ministry of Officials arrange for?"

Tang Cheng slowly put away the official documents and waved his hands to the judges, "County Zhao, Jia Lushi and Mr. Qian will stay here, and the others will go back first."

After the bewildered and depressed judges left, Tang Cheng said in a deep voice, "The official department wants to transfer me to the post of Sima in the Raole Governor's Mansion, and the county's government affairs are temporarily handed over to County Captain Zhao to take over."

"what?".

"what!".

"what?".

The three of Zhang Xiangwen spoke in unison, and Tang Cheng was not in the mood to repeat this, so he threw the official document with the bright red seal of the official department over.

Zhang Xiangwen didn't expect Tang Cheng to throw such an important official document, but he didn't catch it for a while. After picking it up from the ground and looking at it carefully, his rather fair face slowly turned red. , "Brother, what are your plans?".

Jia Xu and Qian Sanma only knew that Zhang Xiangwen and Tang Cheng were fellow villagers and had a good relationship, but they didn't know that there was such a relationship between them. Follow this up.

Sitting behind the case, Tang Cheng took several long and deep breaths before barely restraining the urge to throw the chaoban and other things out, "I'm in a mess right now, what do you think?".

"Go to the bird! Can I go to that place now? According to my opinion, the eldest brother should write a reply to the official department to argue. It is good to be willing to change the post. If the official department refuses to change, the eldest brother simply learns." After leaving Tao Yuanliang, once the official seal is issued, whoever they want to go to, they can’t live a good life just relying on their talents and skills? If they still want to be an official, they can find someone to recover after the limelight passes.”

The excited Zhang Xiangwen had just finished speaking, and Qian Sanba who was standing beside him took up the conversation, "Lieutenant Zhang is right, my lord must go now, and I will not be happy, even if I miss a chance, I will not be able to save my life."

After Zhang Xiangwen and Qian Sanma had said it, Jia Xu thought about it and added, "The governor's mansions set up by the Tibetans in the north are not comparable to the governor's mansions in Yangzhou and Youzhou in our dynasty. The barbarians hold power on the ground. The Sima in the Dudu's mansion, the position of the chief historian is nothing more than a display, so put aside the safety and dangers, what can the adults do?"

"Hey, the official document you mentioned, Jia Lushi, is clearly written. After the eldest brother takes office, he must protect Li Chengzhong's life." Zhang Xiangwen sneered. Baoshang is too busy to protect people's lives? I am afraid that the officials who came up with this arrangement must have lost their minds."

"Forget it, don't say any more, you go out", Zhang Xiangwen was not allowed to say anything more, Tang Cheng said coldly: "Go out, let me think about it!".

Jia Xu winked at Qian Sanscar, took Zhang Xiangwen's arm and walked out, and the office room became silent again.

After they all left, Tang Cheng stood up from Hudeng, and with a wave of his arm when he got up, the new official clothes, court board, silver turtle and other things were swept to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Tang Cheng, who was pacing in the office with his hands behind his back, ignored the things that fell on the ground, and walked over without looking at them. Behind him, there were two more people on the brand-new official clothes that countless people dreamed of. The black footprints looked extraordinarily glaring.

It wasn't until Tang Cheng felt his feet hurt and there was a rattling sound that he lowered his head to look, and then he kicked, and the board that had been broken into two pieces was kicked to the dark bookshelf and could no longer be seen .

This was just a small episode. Tang Cheng, who raised his head indifferently, continued to pace, and received such an official document under the situation of Rao Le. It is impossible to say that he is not chilling or disappointed. , even Li Longji and even Zhang Liang were very disappointed.I have done so many things for you, Li Sanlang, how can you just sit back and watch the Ministry of Officials issue such an official document!Asuka is good at hiding bows, and now he is hiding bows before the birds are exhausted?

The more he felt that he had been treated unfairly, the stronger the energy in Tang Cheng's bones exploded. At this moment, he no longer had the depression he encountered a while ago, but felt a fire of anger in his heart Burn non-stop.

After pacing around the room three times in a row, Tang Cheng finally suppressed his anger towards the court and Li Longji to the deepest corner of his heart, and began to think about the immediate countermeasures.

Rao Le to go or not to go?Although Tang Cheng's steps were slow, his mind turned extremely fast, and he turned around to analyze the pros and cons.

From a practical point of view, going to the muddy waters of Rao Le now is simply the most stupid choice. If the court does not give soldiers or generals, how useful is it to give a title?When it comes to the battle for the throne, even father and son brothers can draw their swords against each other. A title has a bird!Almost instantly, Tang Chengcheng decisively rejected this choice first.Now he is not just a person, but also a whole family behind him, the old and the young, even if it is just for the kittens, he has to live well.

Why don't you go?Officials definitely don’t need to do it, if you don’t do it, you don’t do it!In the past two years, they have made a lot of money. Although the family wealth is not too much, it is still enough to return to the territory of Zhangzishan in Jinzhou to be a rich man.If you really want to be an official again in the future, relying on the foreshadowing you planted in the court before, it is not impossible to find a way to recover after a few years. The environment is better and smoother.

When weighing these two options from the most realistic and utilitarian point of view, Tang Chengcheng has already come up with the answer: the risk and cost of going to Rao Le are too high, but the actual return is almost zero. It's a deal that will accompany you until you vomit blood.

Therefore, Tang Cheng made the final decision to go to your mother's official department. I will not do this official for the time being, and I will not go to Rao Le.It's just that it's not in the extreme situation of war, and there was no law against people's resignation during the peaceful years.

Once he made a decision, his mind completely settled down. After flicking the whitebait bag on the ground a few times with his feet, Tang Cheng walked to the side of the case with a mocking smile and picked up the official seal of Longmen County Magistrate.

The heavy official seal was a bit chilly. When Tang Cheng held it in his hands and played with it, he felt inexplicable feelings in his heart, empty, astringent, and melancholy with some faint pain.
