"Since the teacher's ambition remains the same, of course the students must fulfill the teacher's wish..."
Li Jing's heartbeat almost stopped. He wanted to go back to Mayi, a bitter cold frontier place far away from the sky and the emperor. Only after drinking too much would he miss the "simple" folk customs there.
I just said that, do you still take it seriously?
Fortunately, Li Po only joked a little with his father-in-law. You said you always tell us jokes, so I’ll tease you a little bit, so don’t you have to continue?
"Teacher is well versed in military affairs and is good at running the army. It would be better for him to serve in the Ministry of War... Although Wang Zhibian, Minister of the Ministry of War, has been with me for many years, his talents are a little mediocre. It is better to take the lead as a teacher. What do you think, teacher?"
A big pie was smashed over hard. Even though Li Jing drank a little too much, he still stood up and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, absolutely no. You must not be nepotistic when employing people. Apart from being a relative of the king,
If you have no achievements outside, how can you convince others once you are in a prominent position?
Your Majesty has also said that Wang Shangshu has been following you for many years. Once the power is lost, won’t it make the people close to you feel chilly?”
Li Po nodded inwardly. This father-in-law was actually more sincere, but he was not the kind of person who was greedy for power and did not know what was important.
The name Li Jing is not insignificant in his mind. It is a name with a shining aura. Although he does not know what Li Jing has done, he just knows that this man seems to have fought many battles with the Turks and established an
A great contribution, otherwise how could he become famous later?
But he always felt a little unreliable, because Li Jing was a bit too old. When he first met Li Jing, Li Jing was already in his forties. After so many years, Li Jing was already in his early fifties, and his hair was much whiter.
What other earth-shattering things can you do?
A late bloomer? Well, my body and bones look good, but I don’t know if I can still ride a horse or wear armor?
"What did the teacher say? As you know, my family is very small, I have no parents or brothers... the only one I can rely on is the teacher, so even if I get a higher position, I don't think anyone will say that I am nepotistic.
Think about it, Li Yuan made a large number of relatives and appointed them to key positions. There are countless dignitaries in the Li family, and even his in-laws have been promoted to noble positions. How many of them dare to say that he is not good?
If his relatives were as humble as the teacher, they wouldn't be in today's disaster... If I want to see the teacher, there is no need to refuse. After some time, I will issue an edict to let the teacher take charge of the military department..."
Li Jing was very excited. He was the Minister of the Ministry of War. This was naturally a position he longed for, but he was not a newcomer to the officialdom. He had been in the officialdom for so many years. Even though his emotional intelligence was low, he was already familiar with the rules of the officialdom.
He has not made much achievements in the past half of his life, and his achievements are not impressive, let alone his prestige. If his son-in-law had not become famous, how many people would know who Li Jing was even in Chang'an, where he has lived for a long time?
If he rushes to become Minister of the Ministry of War, what is the same as committing suicide?
Thinking of this, he had sobered up a lot. He had suffered too much and his nerves were quite sensitive. Thinking that if he agreed today, the consequences would be extremely miserable in the future. He couldn't help but look up at his son-in-law several times, thinking that this guy didn't do it on purpose.
?
You must know that when running the army, he has heard a lot of dramas about using the head of a relative to convince everyone, and the results are really good. Does that mean that he, Li Jing...
This is the advantage of being at a disadvantage and eating too much. You are extremely alert. Once someone has bad intentions, you can always more or less notice it.
Although looking at his son-in-law's "sincere" words and smile can make people feel his sincerity, Li Jing still refused to accept his words and was determined not to jump into the big pit. He didn't even think about stretching his feet to try.
With such a firm attitude, Li Po withdrew his suggestion in "embarrassment", "Compared with teachers, would Pei Ji and his like be worthy of the shame?"
Li Po praised him repeatedly, and took Pei Xuanzhen out for comparison. Of course, he was not unfairly accused. Pei Ji could be said to be mediocre in talent, but he was in a high position, not only the right servant of Shangshu, but also the Duke of Wei.
Even if he is quite popular among the six tribes, everyone behind his back might say that he is a lucky person.
Li Po had only been in Chang'an for a long time, but he had already heard a lot about Pei Ji. Neither his eldest son Shunde nor Xiao Yu had anything good to say about Pei Ji. Xiao Yu bluntly said that Pei Xuanzhen had no merit or virtue.
, was not worthy of his position, but made good friends with Li Yuan, and thus he was placed in front of everyone.
With a very resentful look, when Li Po asked the eldest grandson Shunde again, the eldest grandson Shunde made it clear that Pei Ji was used to making trouble in front of Li Yuan, and that Xiao Yu was demoted twice because of Pei Ji's fault.
Even he himself was inevitably slandered by Pei Ji... Of course, it was the political dispute between King Qin Li Shimin and the false prince Li Jiancheng that caused this situation, not just villains like Pei Xuanzhen.
So Li Po knew a few things. The eldest son Shunde seemed to be fair in his actions. Xiao Yu was probably not very generous. It was probably because of the aloof nature of the Xiao family, so Xiao Yu had no scruples when speaking.
Others speak ill of you with confidence.
Character determines fate. In this way, it is understandable that Li Yuan does not like this brother-in-law. If Xiao Yu had a fight with Wen Yanbo and others, he would probably give Xiao Yu a stick first to make him sober up, and then talk about it.
other.
Li Jing kept giving in. Of course he knew who Pei Ji was, but compared with a famous person like Pei Ji and a prime minister, this was his first time and he had to be frightened.
When Li Po met Li Jing back then, his impression of Li Jing was that he was steady, wise, and knowledgeable, and the aristocratic demeanor shown in his conversation and behavior made him very envious, but he didn't like his son-in-law and student very much, which was quite annoying...
…
At that time, Li Po had little knowledge and felt that an official should be like Li Jing, with a dignified appearance.
But now his identity and status have undergone earth-shaking changes. After the two people sat down and talked deeply, Li Jing's true colors were revealed. The stingy look that wanted to be reused but did not dare to take on big responsibilities made Li Po dumbfounded.
After repeated testing, Li Po almost got his pulse and said with a smile: "It seems that the teacher has made a choice in his mind? Why don't you talk about it and listen to it? It's the same sentence. Everyone knows inside and outside that we are a family, even if the position is more prominent.
, and no one dared to say anything.”
After years of waiting, a big pie fell from the sky and finally landed on Li Jing's head. He was slightly dizzy after being hit.
Li Jing was not only dizzy, but also quite confused. When Wei Jie got together with him a few days ago, he chose many official positions for him and explained the pros and cons one by one. He also really liked a few positions, neither high nor low, and he could perform them well.
If his talent fails, he can still be at ease and contentedly by taking a step back.
Now his son-in-law spreads his hands and is so generous that it makes him feel that the positions he chose are quite stingy, which makes this king, student and son-in-law laugh.
Well, this is Li Jing, Pharmacist Li. He is humble on the outside, but noble and proud on the inside, and he also has a tendency towards perfectionism.
Li Po tilted his head and thought for a long time. Li Po looked at him and was worried for him. He had not thought about where to go before. Thinking about it here? Thanks to you, you have a new understanding of this father-in-law.
"Teacher, if you don't have a plan, then go back and think about it carefully. I'm just here to stand by..." At this point, Li Po added for his sake, "For example, do you want to work in Chang'an, or do you want to work in Chang'an?"
When you want to go somewhere, do you want to be closer to your wife and children, or is your career more important?"
Li Jing nodded in agreement, drank two more glasses, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. He bowed his hands and buried his head in his sleeves.
I don't dare to miss an important event. I feel that if the king has an assignment, feel free to tell me. Selecting like this will not only be frivolous, but may also damage the king's ability to recognize people."
Li Po straightened up a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After spending a long time with smart people who were obedient and knowledgeable, talking to people like Li Jing felt particularly strenuous.
From the time the two met until now, they were almost drunk from the wine, and only then did they hear something from this man's mouth that he wanted to hear, "Are you tired?"
Moreover, in Li Po's view, if Li Jing could not straighten his identity, it would only matter where he held the position. The problems in this were very concretely reflected in Yuen Long.
This person has never been able to find his place. He can only live as a child and cannot take on any big things.
And Li Jing obviously finally realized this, otherwise he would not be able to say that he is both a monarch and a minister, and he is also a relative. Hearing this, Li Po was really "rejoiced". Having a relative like Li Jing to help... it will be easier in the future.
?
However, when looking at people, Li Jing's performance was not good, but his loyalty was highlighted.
Li Po also imitated Li Jing and pondered for a long time before he said cautiously: "Teacher knows the military, I know it... I also heard that the teacher once led an army into Shu and achieved many victories in one day... I just don't know if the teacher is interested in military glory?"
This sentence tickled Li Jing's itch again, and his lips wriggled. In the end, he just said, "It's true, but it's a pity that I couldn't do my best."
Li Po smiled, but said in his heart, what you said is really wrong. If you kill Xiao Mian, what will happen to your son-in-law?
While making a gesture of hesitation, he said, "Now that Guanxi has been settled for a while, there are still remnants of the Li family entrenched in Shu. If they cannot be defeated as soon as possible and let them gain a firm foothold, for fear of fear of separatism, the teacher has led troops into Shu. If not,
…”
At this point, Li Po himself began to shake his head, "It's impossible, it's impossible. How can I bear to be separated from my teacher when we meet each other? The teacher is not young anymore, and the journey is long and dangerous... He will definitely be blamed by others.
Let’s forget it.”
Li Jing's heart was rising and falling, and he had begun to dance with the baton. At this time, he finally couldn't help it, "I am not old yet, and I am familiar with the terrain in Sichuan. I will not miss the important military affairs, but... Could it be that the Northwest Qu
