Chapter 1113 Am I that kind of person?
Li Yifu and his son Li Jin were talking in the study.
"Back then, my father relied on his knowledge of articles. However, no matter how good an article is, someone must appreciate it. When Li Daliang was inspecting Jiannan Road, he seized the opportunity for his father. An article moved him... As a father, he used white clothes When I arrived at Chang'an Gate, I went to the province."
Li Jin smiled and said, "Aye's luck is really good."
"It's not luck." Li Yifu said, "Without talent, you won't be able to catch luck when it comes. If you are talented, you won't be a man, and if luck comes, you won't be able to catch it. Talented people have to be able to manage things, and they have to be able to look at people." ...After arriving in Chang'an as a father, he was immediately appreciated by Ma Zhou and others. Do you think this can be done by talent?"
Li Jin said: "Or is it Aye's ability to read people's eyes?"
Li Yifu nodded, "Those who can achieve great achievements mostly have backgrounds. Dalang, don't believe that you can succeed just by working hard. This is deceiving. Go and see the important ministers in the court, who started with nothing? No Even the father is an official, otherwise you think a commoner can fall into Li Daliang’s eyes? In their eyes, no background, no birth is a crime, and it’s hard to control…”
Li Jin asked: "Aye, what about Ma Zhou?"
"Ma Zhou is an anomaly." Li Yifu said: "His nobleman is Chang He. What's more important is the first emperor. During the reign of the first emperor, many officials were promoted. But as the Tang Dynasty became more and more stable, the promotions became more and more frequent. Less and less."
Li Jin nodded, "Jia Ping'an is considered Jianba, right?"
When it came to Jia Ping'an, Li Yi's mansion was obviously indifferent, "Jia Ping'an is even more desolate than Ma Zhou. He was almost buried alive by the villagers, and he was in desperate situation several times when he arrived in Chang'an. But this person was lucky. He even recognized a sister. became queen..."
"Alang."
The servant is outside the door, holding a letter in his hand.
"Whose letter?" Li Jin went over.
The servant said: "It is said to be a letter from Liao Youchang, the governor of Huazhou."
"Liao Youchang?"
Li Jin smiled very comfortably, took the letter and turned around, "This person gave a lot of Huazhou specialties last time, one of them is... Bambooware, the servant felt that it was too heavy, opened it, and there was a lot of stuff in it." Little money, hahahaha!"
"Smart guy!"
Li Yifu smiled and took the letter.
He looked from top to bottom, from bottom to top.
"Bitch!"
Li Yifu slapped the letter on the case table, his face livid, "Liao Youchang planned to recruit 300 civilian men from Huazhou to assist in the excavation of the tomb, but Zheng County Magistrate Di Renjie blocked it and detained the civilian men."
Li Jin was furious, "Aye, this is against us!"
Li Yifu sneered and said: "Knowing about this but deliberately obstructing it, this person is either stupid or doing it on purpose. Regardless of whether he is stupid or doing it on purpose, I can't let this person go, otherwise I will become a laughing stock!"
…
Jia Ping'an is drinking tea.
He likes to sit under the eaves and look at the spring scenery outside. There is a small teapot in his hand, and he takes a sip from time to time, which is so comfortable.
The two women in the room were talking about the children.
"Husband."
"What?"
Jia Ping'an was lazy, thinking that such a day is what he likes.
Wei Wushuang said, "It's time to teach."
"I said I should hire a gentleman!" Jia Ping'an's comfort was gone, and he was a little dissatisfied.
Wei Wushuang came out and stood behind him, gently kneading his shoulders, "My husband is the most outstanding gentleman, do you want to sit and watch those gentlemen teach the children to be mediocre?"
"There's nothing wrong with mediocrity!" Jia Pingan got up angrily.
Wei Wushuang smiled and said: "My husband is joking again, naturally the better the child, the better."
Jia Pingan handed out the small teapot to Su Ho, and walked down with his hands behind his back.
"Everyone adopts a son who hopes to be smart, but I have been fooled by being smart all my life. I only hope that the child will be foolish and unruly, and come to the court without any disasters or difficulties."
Jia Pingan walked slowly towards the study.
Behind him, the two women froze.
After a long time, Su He praised: "My husband really speaks well."
Wei Wushuang praised secretly in his heart, but refused to admit defeat in his mouth, "My husband has not been fooled by his cleverness all his life."
"Wu Shuang, you are wrong." Su Ho shook his head.
Wei Wushuang smiled and said, "Where did I go wrong again? If it's not right, you will be responsible for today's account books."
"Think about your husband's temperament." Su Ho said confidently: "My husband serves as Minister of the Ministry of War, but he refuses to be a director of the Ministry of War. This is the temperament of idle clouds and wild cranes. But why is my husband so busy? It is because he is so talented and wants to If you don’t get promoted, you won’t succeed.”
yes!
Wei Wushuang suddenly figured it out.
"My husband didn't like being an official at first, he felt dirty. But now he is sailing against the current, if he doesn't advance, he will retreat... Yes, my husband probably hates his own intelligence, and he hopes that his children will be mediocre and have a stable life."
Teaching children, especially teaching one's own children, is the most painful.
"Da Hong!"
Jia Hong, who was taking a nap, suddenly raised his head, and said blankly, "What?"
Jia Ping'an wanted to slap this silly son, but he couldn't do it because of the joyful look.
"Sit down."
"oh!"
Jia Hong sat upright.
Jia Pingan looked down at the textbook and spoke slowly.
Less than five minutes later, Jia Hong began to doze off again.
"Is this the possession of a sleepy bug or what?"
Jia Pingan picked up the ruler, ready to clean up the son.
"Erlang be careful!"
Doudou pinched Jia Hong vigilantly.
"ah!"
Jia Hong screamed in pain, seeing his father holding the ruler with a bad expression on his face, he couldn't help crying.
Jia Pingan said angrily: "Did you become a robber last night?"
Jia Dong said: "Aye, the second brother heard that catching fireflies and keeping them inside the house can live longer. Last night, he squatted outside the house and kept watch. He wanted to catch some fireflies for Aye and Auntie..."
Silly son!
Jia Hong choked up, "I'm so wronged!"
Jia Ping'an's heart was soft.
Xu Xiaoyu appeared outside the door, "Mr. Lang, there is a letter from Mr. Di."
Jia Pingan took the letter and read it.
"Li Yifu?"
Jia Pingan knew about the relocation of the ancestral grave by Li Yifu.
Moving the ancestral tomb to the edge of Li Hu's mausoleum is a means of clinging, actively moving closer to the royal family.
But Li Yifu's ending is doomed, what will happen if he buries his grandfather beside Li Hu?
Jia Ping'an didn't know.
Di Renjie's letter was about blocking the Huazhou civilian husband, and he was suspended.
"If you block it, block it." Jia Pingan sneered, "Suspension?"
Wang Bo came, "Sir, Li Yifu's relocation of the ancestral graves actually used the peasants from the seven counties, isn't this too much?"
Jia Ping'an said: "Li Yi's mansion can be said to be full of flowers at the moment, adding fuel to the fire, and the prosperity is in a mess. But Zian, you have to remember, when you are proud, you must introspect yourself, and don't make a high profile."
Wang Bo nodded, "When it comes to flowers and brocade, I still think of one thing. In order to make a gimmick for all nations to come to court, Emperor Yang made people treat foreigners preferentially, and made people wrap silk and satin on trees..."
"Flowers bloom!" Jia Pingan said: "This is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence. If you are really strong, why do you need outsiders to recognize it? You just need to be strong. The stronger you are, the more you are like a magnet. The stronger the magnet, the stronger the magnetism." , those people will naturally move closer..."
"Lang Jun!"
Du He came to report.
"A lot of nobles outside sent people to deliver the funeral ceremony."
"Li Yifu?"
"Yes, it is Li Yifu."
Du He looked at Jia Pingan, "Almost all of them have been given away, our family..."
Jia Ping'an said indifferently: "If you move an ancestral grave, you will have to send a memorial ceremony from the civil and military courts. It's so grand. Don't care!"
…
"Princess, many people have given funeral ceremony!"
Today is a beautiful spring day, and people in Xincheng take out the books that have been kept at home for a winter and turn them in the sun.
She bent down and picked up a volume of books on the desk, slowly unfolding, and said casually, "Which one?"
The maid said: "Li Yifu's family."
Xincheng shook his head, "I don't know you well, so I won't give it away!"
Huang Shu really wanted to roll her eyes.
"How about Gaoyang?" Xincheng asked.
…
"Let him die!" That's how Gao Yang replied.
Xiao Ling agreed, "Li Yifu is so proud."
Xincheng hangs books at home, and Gao Yang hangs clothes at home.
There are several desks piled up in the big cloak, and the inside is still being moved out one by one.
Gao Yang was tired, so he sat on the side and watched.
"Li Yifu is too proud now." Gao Yang took a sip of tea, "Look at Xiao Jia. The more proud he is, the more he keeps a low profile. He goes fishing outside the city or goes home to take care of his children when he has nothing to do. Then look at Li Yifu, the whole family The son collected money without any scruple. Li Yifu is still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he sold a lot of officials... This is death!"
…
Li Hong led people out of Chang'an City.
He went to several villages along the way and interviewed some villagers.
"It's hard for the five-household joint insurance!" Li Hong sighed.
The old farmer on the opposite side was squatting outside the door, with his grandson crawling around on his back.
"That's what I said... the old man was just joking. This means that the neighbor owes the debt and the old man has to help repay it. Is there any reason for this?"
Old farmer can see that he dares to talk.
Li Hong was overjoyed, and pulled the coarse clothes on his body, "Then do you think you should return it?"
The old farmer sneered, hugged his grandson in front of him with his backhand, and slapped his **** lightly, "The prime ministers in the court committed crimes, will they be involved?"
"Don't you just think that we people are easy to bully?"
Boom!
Li Hong seemed to hear a thunderbolt.
He wandered around the village in a daze.
A woman came over with a wooden basin and asked with a smile, "Young man, don't go to the river, be careful of falling into the water."
Li Hong let out a cry, and suddenly asked: "Dare to ask my lady, I heard about the joint guarantee of five households, but the neighbor fled, why should I blame others?"
The woman's wooden basin contained freshly washed clothes. She leaned the wooden basin on her waist and said with a smile, "The lives of common people are worthless."
Slowly return to the city all the way.
Several teams of people and horses came ahead, as well as a convoy.
Someone was blowing and blowing, it was very lively.
"Where is this going?"
Li Hong was puzzled.
Zeng Xianglin said: "His Royal Highness, Li Yifu's family moved the grave, and the nobles in the city sent more funeral ceremonies."
Li Hong narrowed his eyes and watched these gorgeously dressed servants leave slowly.
"On the one hand, one is hardworking but can only eat enough, and on the other hand, one person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven. What's wrong with this world?"
Zeng Xianglin's heart tightened, "Your Highness, be careful with your words."
Li Yifu has just taken down several officials, and he is in the limelight in court.
Li Hong said: "The lives of the common people are worthless, why?"
He was at a loss and arrived at Daodefang unknowingly.
"Ah Fu!"
Ah Fu in black and white runs wildly in the field.
DouDou led his two younger brothers to chase after him.
"Foo, don't run away!"
Ah Fu rushed over like lightning, Zeng Xianglin trembled, "Protect Your Highness~!"
Before the guards arrived, Ah Fu slipped away from the side.
Boom!
Ah Fu easily opened the door and rushed in.
It feels that playing with the child is punishment, and wishes to climb a tree to hide.
"Ah Fu!"
I went around and found it with ease.
"咱咕咱!"
Help!
"Your Highness."
The arrival of Li Hong rescued Ah Fu. Taking advantage of the time to go around and salute, Ah Fu climbed up the tree in a hurry.
Boom!
Ah Fu landed at Wang Xueyou's house next door.
"Ah Fu."
Zhao Xianhui was rejoicing when Jia Hong shouted from the next door, "Ah Fu!"
Ah Fu trembled and continued to climb the tree...
Boom!
This time he landed at Yang Deli's house.
"Ah Fu!"
Zhaodi was sweeping the floor, and couldn't help waving happily when he saw Ah Fu.
Human cubs are really troublesome!
Ah Fu felt relieved.
Bah bah bah!
Someone knocked on the door, Zhaodi went over and opened the door, seeing that it was Jia Hong, he asked, "Is Erlang here to play?"
The relationship between the two families is good, and the children often visit each other.
Jia Hong shook his head, turned his eyes, and suddenly said happily: "Ah Fu!"
Baba help!
Ah Fu was wailing, and Jia Pingan was sighing.
“They say their lives are worthless, and the common people are easy to bully.”
Li Hong was a little dazed, "Uncle, the gentlemen said that the people are the foundation, and the first emperor also said that water can carry a boat or overturn it, so we should treat the people kindly. But why do I feel that the people are so pitiful?"
This baby is confused.
"Get a cup of tea."
Jia Pingan asked him to sit down, and casually threw a piece of dried meat over.
Later generations received guests with beverages and sweets and snacks. At this time, there were no fruits, but only tea and dried meat.
"There are tens of millions of people, how can you ensure that everyone is treated kindly?" Jia Pingan said: "What you have to do is to treat the people kindly to the best of your ability, that's all. What do you think of this, Zi'an?"
Wang Bo is smart, but has a pitiful low EQ. Jia Pingan is a little worried that if he becomes an official, there will be no good results, so he is hesitating.
Wang Bo said: "Human nature is inherently evil, so there are ugliness happening all the time. As an official, as an emperor, what we should do is to minimize these ugliness. It is absolutely impossible to stop it... and the reason is that human nature is inherently evil." .”
Li Hong is somewhat idealistic.
"But I feel sorry for the poor people." Li Hong felt that this was wrong, "The people pay taxes, this is their best effort. And the government should also do their best..."
Jia Pingan smiled wryly, "You...take it for granted."
How can there be so much best effort, more is turning a blind eye.
Li Hong said: "When I returned to the city, I saw a lot of convoys. It is said that Li Yi's mansion moved the ancestral graves. Most of the dignitaries in the city sent funeral ceremonies. It is vast and mighty, stretching for tens of miles..."
So Li Yifu must die in the end!
And Li Zhi is like a hunter, calmly watching his captive hounds tearing those people madly.
“The more proud you are now, the more unlucky you will be in the future.”
Jia Ping'an could only comfort Li Hong in this way.
Li Hong was puzzled, "Uncle, Li Yifu has done a lot of bad things, why can Aye tolerate him?"
"Because there are still opponents."
It's that simple.
When the emperor still has opponents, the hound still has the value of existence.
Li Hong was a little angry, "Uncle, what you said is inappropriate. Many people in Li Yi's mansion are enemies of the court, but many are good people and good officials! Why does Aye want to indulge?"
Jia Pingan said: "Emperors need majesty."
Li Hong's body shook.
Jia Pingan patted him on the shoulder, "You shouldn't pay attention to such things."
Politics is too dirty, Jia Ping'an is worried that his eldest nephew is lost.
"But Ayer is very kind."
In Li Hong's heart, his father Li Zhi is a kind person, but what Jia Pingan said made him know a truth...
"That's the emperor."
The amiable emperor did not end well.
Look at Song Renzong.
Li Hong sighed, "Uncle, did you send the funeral ceremony?"
Jia Pingan smiled faintly.
…
"Magistrate of Zheng County, Huazhou!"
An official threw the documents on the desk, looked up, and sneered, "How dare this person be rude to my husband, find a reason to get him!"
The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the official hats of officials all over the world, and a single election can determine the life and death of countless people.
"It's just a county magistrate, a trivial matter."
Someone slapped his forehead, "By the way, the taxes in Zheng County were a little less last year, and the Ministry of Households scolded the governor of Huazhou for this matter."
"So let's find this excuse to mess with him!"
The official said very complacently: "Hurry up and report."
A small official looked at the document, and said cautiously: "This person resigned from office before, and then re-entered office. Do you want to check his background?"
The Ministry of Officials must be cautious in doing things, that is, to check the background of the person involved.
Almost every official has someone behind him, or someone who admires him, or his relatives and friends, or a large group... Dealing with it without finding out the background is a dead end.
For example, when the Guanlong Clan was very powerful, you dealt with an official casually, and then found out that this person turned out to be from Guanlong...Damn it!
So the official department seems to be majestic, but in fact it is a bit restrained in doing things.
but…
The official sneered, "The Minister of the Household Department is the gentleman, who has a strong background?"
The little official smiled and said: "That's right, Xianggong is now majestic in the court, who are we afraid of?"
Subsequently, this disposal suggestion was sent to Li Yifu.
Li Yifu took a look, "Removed from office?"
The official smiled and said, "Sir, is it wrong?"
Li Yifu threw the documents on the case table, and said indifferently: "You must uphold the public spirit in doing things. It is extremely inappropriate for you to wait like this! Since this person has made a mistake, he should follow the rules. Demotion."
"yes!"
When the official went back and said, everyone was amazed, but the little official suddenly realized, "What's the use of dismissing an official? Di Renjie can start a business and farm. Maybe he has money in his family and can be a rich man. Removing an official After that, he became a free agent. But the demoted official is different, he has to go wherever we let him go!"
Everyone laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The official glanced at the little official, his eyes full of approval.
"Looking at those remote places like this, there are still job vacancies. I think it's the county lieutenant."
The people in remote places do not obey the rules, and the county lieutenant has the most affairs and is the most dangerous.
Turning his head, the official pointed to the little official and said to his confidant: "This person is good. It happens that there is a shortage of people in Mobei. Let him go."
The confidant nodded and smiled.
Shangguan has omissions and omissions can only be reported privately, remember that it is a report, not a correction. This little official seems to be smart, but his cleverness seems to be dull.
Fools!
The confidant sneered.
Then the document will be issued.
Someone ran to tell Cui Jian.
Cui Jian told Jia Pingan.
"The madness is boundless!"
Jia Pingan was angry.
Brother Cui shook his hand, and said very seriously: "Li Yi's mansion is domineering, but its momentum is in full swing, so don't confront it head-on."
Jia Pingan took the opportunity to free his hands and said, "Am I that kind of person?"
Cui Jian said seriously: "Yes!"
