Later, Li Po replied to Wen Yanbo, "The death of a brother has its own etiquette. Going too far is not enough. At this time of employment, everyone is looking forward to it. How can it end halfway when there is peace? I hope you can express your condolences, so as to complete the great event.
.”
This was the gentlest word that Li Po could think of. In fact, he still vaguely criticized Wen Yanbo, but because his brother had just died, he didn't criticize him harshly.
It's not surprising that he was dissatisfied. It's true that people in the world value etiquette, but today, the dead people in the world are piled up in one place, which is probably higher than Mount Tai. Even in a powerful family that has always maintained good etiquette, abandoning their parents
There are many people who have their wives and children working for them everywhere, so what does it mean if a brother dies?
In Li Po's view, Wen Yanbo was a bit pretentious. Are the Wen brothers really so close to each other? Well, not necessarily. Otherwise, would Wen Dalin still be able to stay in Jinyang so safely?
What he was thinking here was a bit unkind, but the world is like this. The family ties between people in the family are praised, and everyone knows how much they weigh.
No matter how close the relationship between father and son or brothers is, once it involves family property, power, etc., their taste will change, and they are far less real than the relationships between ordinary people.
Yang Xu fulfilled his duties for the first time, ghostwriting for Li Po, and handed it back to Li Po. Li Po carefully tasted his handwriting, well, there are "not many" better than him, Zhao Wen Dalin
Far from it.
When Li Po waved his hand, Yang Xu bowed and retreated, but Zhang Liang stood firm there.
Li Po looked over, grinned, and said, "What else can you do?"
This showed that he was in a very unhappy mood. Zhang Liang, who had just surrendered, did not realize this yet. He just bowed and said: "Report to the manager, when we were passing by Linfen County, someone reported that Pei Yanqian should not be used to embezzle people's land. It's just that we were waiting for him."
I'm escorting food and grass, so I can't ask you in detail..."
Originally, after Yang Xu's words and deeds, Zhang Liang didn't have to talk too much, and it really didn't have anything to do with him.
But this is what makes Zhang Liang different from others. There are only a few people in his eyes. When he is around Li Mi, he only sees Wei Gong. When he comes to Xu Shiji, he only recognizes Xu Shiji.
In Jinyang, apart from the hostesses of the General Manager's Mansion, the only one who had eyes on him was his Shangguan Xue Wanche.
When he came to Jiangjun, let alone the Hedong Pei family, he would not pay attention to him. As long as Li Po said a word, he would dare to capture Pei Yanqian and torture him to extract a confession.
This is obviously a way of life that he figured out in Henan.
To put it simply, when hugging your thigh, you need to hug the thickest one, and the hug should be firmer. What you rely on? What you rely on is loyalty. How to show loyalty? Zhang Liang feels that he has already mastered three of them.
, Loyalty means not being able to do anything else.
The relatively crude official philosophy allowed Zhang Liang to survive in the chaotic Henan, which shows that there is a certain truth in it.
Li Po stared at Zhang Liang for a long time, until Zhang Liang lowered his head instinctively, with a trademark silly smile on his face, Li Po said with a half-smile, "Since there is such a thing, then go and investigate."
Investigate it and come back and report it to me."
Zhang Liang was very frightened when he heard this, because this routine was not quite right.
If Wei Gong were to grasp everything big and small, as long as you said something bad about someone, there would definitely be a reaction. Even if you didn't say anything at the time, you would definitely remember it in your heart.
Xu Shiji and Xue Wanche are similar. They definitely put things aside if it doesn't concern them. If it concerns them, they will let the small things go. Only big things can make them take things seriously.
He has not yet met the mistress of the steward's house. It is said that she has a hot temper, and he will probably call someone over directly to interrogate her.
This guy in front of you is so nice. If you throw something at him, he will throw it back at you. The scary thing is that you don’t know whether he really wants you to check Pei Yanqian, or he is annoyed by your complaint.
I want to embarrass you.
Oops, I'm impatient. Based on what I heard in Jinyang, I dare to speak in front of this person. I'm not too impatient.
Seeing that Zhang Liang remained silent, either out of fear or embarrassment, his face gradually turned red, and Li Po finally felt that this bandit leader from Henan was somewhat interesting.
"I'll give you an idea..."
Li Po said with a smile.
Zhang Liang's heart was twitching now, and he quickly shook the head on his neck, "No need... no need for the manager to bother..."
"What? You have an idea, why don't you tell me about it?"
Huh? I haven't thought about it yet. Even if I did, I would be scared out of my mind now. "I...I feel..."
Li Po has always been willing to play tricks on people who are more thoughtful, such as Bu Qun and Cheng Dabeard. Of course, this has to be done on a case-by-case basis.
Some guys, especially those in powerful circles, can't take jokes. If you tease them a few words, they might be forced to resign. Especially the Kansai people. Majesty and solemnity are their basic characteristics. It doesn't hurt or itch.
It's okay to make a few jokes, but if it makes him feel humiliated, then it won't be a joke anymore.
However, for a fan of officialdom like Yu Wenxin, no matter how outrageous your joke is, he will always come back to you, and maybe even make fun of you in the face. He is one of the more shameless people in Kansai.
For example, the few people from Henan have relatively strong endurance and are very cunning. This is the case with the person in front of you. You can tell by looking at him. His eyes are rolling, and he may have many bad ideas popping up in his mind.
"Okay, as for you, take my military order and go to Longquan County to talk to Pei Yanqian. He will definitely defend himself. First listen to what he has to say. Then you can find someone who is familiar with him and ask him what he is like.
No matter what the official reputation is, we can almost tell whether what this person says is true or false."
"According to my estimation, the children of the Pei family... After the war, so much fertile land was left uncultivated, but they still occupied some civilian land. Most of them were false accusations, or they were done by relatives without their knowledge, or they allowed their relatives to do evil...
"
Zhang Liang's heart was up and down. He understood everything Li Po said, but he didn't seem to understand anything. When he left the room, a cold wind blew, and Zhang Liang shivered, unable to understand.
, but still resembles a ball of paste.
After walking far away, he muttered to himself, did he come back after causing a lot of trouble for himself? He was going to Longquan County soon?
Li Po was very happy. He came up with some tricks for others and tried to find out how he felt back then. When he saw Zhang Liang walking away in a daze, his mood immediately changed from gloomy to bright.
Of course, since this matter has reached his ears, he must check it out. Pei Yanqian has just been appointed as the head of a county by him, which is a kind of compensation for Pei Shiqing's departure as the prefect of Jiangjun.
But it would be disgusting if you took on a lot of debt in Linfen. Are you trying to ruin the reputation of Pei's family, or are you trying to make Li Po have a reputation of being an unknown person?
If it is a false accusation, then the person who made the false accusation really deserves to die, not because of the matter itself, but because your choice was extremely wrong.
In fact, this is really not a big deal. It's just that the young Zhang Liang has to be entrusted with an important task. He wants to see if this person is really that smart and capable. The important thing is to be able to understand his intentions and keep up with him.
his thoughts.
What does it mean to be capable? In the Department of Military Justice, ruthlessness is a prerequisite, obedience and loyalty are the core, and being able to understand the fate is a necessary condition.
If you have an elm head, then just float...

When he left Jiangjun, there was a man and a woman beside Li Po. The man was short and thick, and the woman was tall and strong. It was Gu Yanlai, Huang Qu and his wife.
Now Li Po already knew that Gu Yanlai was a well-known stabbing master in the Jingxiang area. Her swordsmanship was completely different from that of the Yanlu people who killed many people. She gave him a broad-edged sword and she used it.
The swordsmanship that emerges is broad opening and closing, just like a warrior who breaks the formation.
Give her a thin sword and she can use it as fast as the wind and with unpredictable changes.
Compared with others, Yan Lu's swordsmanship is... too lacking in technical content...
This fits the standard of a knight in Li Po's mind. Of course, it would be better if the two of them weren't so weird.
Hongyanzhu'er dislikes these two people. There are many rough men in Western Turks, but with such ugly eyes, he would probably be strangled to death by his father after she was born. Gu Yanlai is quite majestic, but she only needs one
When he opened his mouth, the red-eyed man's body was electrified, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wished he could cut him with a knife.
But Li Po could still bear it. Yan Lu was now an uncle and had disciples to respect him, so he easily refused to follow Li Po.
That guy Yuan Muye was a bit mentally disturbed, and Li Po didn't want to have Ouyang Feng around him all the time, so Yuan Muye was almost unemployed.
Now that Gu Yanlai is here, although it is quite strange, at least his thinking is still within the scope of normal people, so he can be put to use.
Now Li Po actually wanted to know what it was like when Gu Yanlai fought against the Yanlu people.
Of course, now that he is busy with big things, he rarely has time to find this kind of fun. There are many things waiting for him when he returns to Jinyang.
The first thing that didn't need to be asked was to be crowned king. He had already thought of the title, but before crowning himself king, he had to meet Empress Xiao, the most beautiful woman in the world...
Li Po tried to imagine for a moment, but he couldn't imagine what the woman who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world would look like. Is there really such a color in the world that would captivate a country?
As a man, Li Po does have expectations and hopes to get a surprise...
Next is the tax system. The three counties of Daizhou will collect taxes this year. The old system of the Sui Dynasty will definitely not work. Even the tax system during the Kaihuang period is too heavy for the current Daizhou.
But as for the level to be determined, we still have to discuss it with others.
Then there is the matter of employing people. He has no shortage of officials here. The ethnic groups in the Jin region have indeed suffered heavy losses, but there are still many left, but he does not want Jin people to fill the officialdom of the Jin region...
