Chapter 302: The Dream of the Tang Dynasty Realized
At Haishi, the night was already dark, and Jin Liangtu returned home covered with wind and frost.
His wife came out to welcome him, took off his armor and put on thick clothes, and said with some distress: "Why have you come back later than usual these days?"
Although Jin Liangtu was physically exhausted, his mind was full and he replied: "The thieves are still in the city and want to do evil. I have to patrol carefully to be prepared for any eventuality."
The wife hesitated to speak, swallowed her words of dissuasion, and took out the beautifully wrapped gift box from the cabinet: "Husband, do you think this is this kind of drink? It's called 'tea'?"
Jin Liangtu smelled the taste and said with a satisfied smile: "That's it. We should get used to drinking tea in the future, and so should our sons!"
The wife frowned and said, "But this tea tastes weird and is very expensive. I don't think it tastes as good as the fruit drinks from my hometown..."
Jin Liangtu shook his head: "That's because you still don't understand the value of tea. I have inquired clearly. The nobles of the high-ranking gentry have gradually become popular with drinking tea. In the future, you will have to move around more with other ladies. What if you don't get used to it?
OK?"
The wife whispered: "The ladies from other families don't care about me..."
Jin Liangtu's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly cheered up: "That's because I don't have the value to be flattered yet. Don't worry, when I get promoted, everything will be different!"
The wife sighed softly: "I don't expect others to fawn over me. I just hope that my husband is safe and that our children can study well and achieve success in the future."
Jin Liangtu smiled: "It's a woman's opinion. In the final analysis, what you are looking forward to is for me to achieve success. Otherwise, how can these young men become talents without good doctoral guidance? Rest, we have to get up early tomorrow...
…”
Just as he was about to go into his room to rest, there was sudden movement outside the hospital, and a voice shouted: "Jin Changshi! Jin Changshi!"
Jin Liangtu heard that he was a confidant, his face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Wear armor for me!"
His wife skillfully helped him put it on, and he put the knife on his waist and strode out.
When he saw his confidants walking around outside the house, Jin Liangtu shouted in a deep voice: "Did we find traces of the thief again? Or did we interrogate Jin Hanlin and Jin Sanguang and get new clues?"
The confidants came forward with joy on their faces: "No, not at all, we are in for a great event! Does Chang Shi still remember that Dr. Duan who was crying all over the place when he was taken away by the inner guards during the day?"
Jin Liangtu nodded: "Of course, that's the person arrested by the inner guard Huang Jiyi. A doctor in charge of the capital's lawsuits seems to have committed a serious matter. Judging from the posture of the inner guard, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out!"
The confidant said: "He will definitely not be able to get out. It is said that this person had an affair with slave traders and allowed Goryeo slaves to use the Shence Crossbow. He had evil intentions. Fortunately, Li Jiyi cleared him up, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Jin Liangtu's color suddenly changed: "Shen Ce Crossbow?"
Ordinary officials have no special impression of the Shence Crossbow, they just know it is a crossbow weapon, but as a guard, they know very well that it is the crossbow weapon held by Beiya Baiqi, and it is extremely sophisticated.
Jin Liangtu felt that the divine crossbow in his heart had been tainted. He held the handle of the knife at his waist and said, "Gaoli's slaves to the divine crossbow? This is simply ridiculous! This thief deserves to be killed!"
The confidant said: "It's right to kill him, kill him well, he made way for Chang Shi!"
Jin Liangtu's anger was stagnant, and was replaced by an indescribable expression, which seemed like surprise and fear. It was extremely complicated, and he said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean by this...?"
A confidant hurriedly said: "I heard from the colleagues guarding the East Palace that Li Jiyi met with His Highness the Crown Prince after the initial review by the internal guards. He has only entered the palace very rarely. This time he went specifically to rectify the capital's lawsuit. I proposed to let him go."
You succeed the Du Guan Langzhong."
"At that time, some officials disagreed because Chang Shi was from Silla, but Li Jiyi argued against all opinions and believed that Chang Shi had guarded the palace for many years, was very dedicated to his career, and was more familiar with the situation in Luoyang than the officials in Chang'an.
This time we also discovered the assassin who had previously planned to burn down the dock and captured Silla's proton, which is enough to prove his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees..."
Later, his confidants said a lot, but Jin Liangtu could no longer hear them.
There was only one idea in his mind, and Li Jiyi took it seriously, so he took the initiative!
Du Guan Langzhong represents the fifth rank!
Changshi starts from the sixth rank, not to mention the lower rank of the sixth rank, and there are two levels above the sixth rank. The step from sixth rank to fifth rank is a gap for many officials.
Officials in the capital are already noble enough, but most officials are still in the seventh and sixth grades. How many of them will be in the seventh and sixth grades throughout their lives!
To give the most intuitive example, the officials in Du Guansi include one doctor, two Yuanwailang, two chiefs, nine people making history, twelve people writing history, and four people holding hands.
Among these thirty officials, only the leading doctor was from the fifth rank, while the others were all junior officials from the sixth, seventh and eighth ranks.
Jin Liangtu is nearly forty years old, but being able to become a fifth-rank official at this age, even for a doctor with limited room for advancement like Du Guanshi, still makes countless people envious and jealous.
When his confidants said this, they saw that Jin Liangtu was in a trance and understood very well. They were happy for him: "The long history has become the fifth grade of Neng Enyin's heirs. The elder can also directly become an official in the future. What a great joy!"
Jin Liangtu gasped for breath for several times before he gradually recovered. Knowing that he might not be able to sleep tonight, he said in a trembling voice: "This matter has not been finalized, and there are still variables. What is the lawsuit for?"
In fact, he knew every official position in the imperial court by heart, not to mention important departments such as the Fourth Department of the Ministry of Justice, but as if he was sure that he was not dreaming, he asked subconsciously.
The confidant replied: "Managing slaves, prisoners of war and relatives of criminals is a very good job. I heard that the thieves made a lot of money. I can wait for Chang Shi... and wait for the doctor to take over..."
Jin Liangtu was furious: "That's nonsense! It's just enough money, how can it make me derelict in my duties and follow in the footsteps of thieves?"
He suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and waved it forward several times: "I, Jin Liangtu, swear that I will not be greedy at all and will never let down the trust of Li Jiyi and His Highness the Crown Prince!!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this man being so excited, his confidant hurriedly said: "Yes! It's my subordinate who is talking nonsense! Whether the doctor wants to go to Li Jiyi's house to thank him or not depends on his recommendation this time.
…”
Jin Liangtu thought for a while and said: "Thank you, of course, but Li Jiyi wants more than just thank you. You have never seen it outside his house. There are really long queues of cars and horses. Li Jiyi wants to promote people and choose those who are not good."
Well, why did you choose me?"
The confidants were also puzzled and looked like they were listening.
Jin Liangtu hammered his chest: "Because I can do things, and I can do things for the traitors of Goryeo and Silla!"
"That's what happened to the slave this time. That lowly Goryeo slave can actually hold a divine crossbow. It shows that the involvement is very high. I must follow Li Jiyi closely and investigate the case thoroughly!"
"Li Jiyi once asked me what the current situation in Silla is like, and warned me not to tell others from hearsay. You should also gather people from Silla on weekdays to inquire more about the situation in the country for the future..."
He came to his confidant and said in a sonorous voice: "If I can make a difference, so can you! Only by working hard and uniting can we go further in the Tang Dynasty, do you understand?"
The confidant's face flushed with excitement, and his blood surged: "Yes! Yes! I understand!"
Now neither of them could sleep.
Jin Liangtu sent his confidants away and stood in front of the door for a long time before returning to the inner courtyard with slightly staggering steps.
The wife was about to turn off the lights, but she was very happy to see her husband go and come back: "Don't you have to chase the thief? Come wash up and go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Jin Liangtu, however, didn't even bother to take off his armor. He knelt down with a clang, tears pouring out uncontrollably, and he tried his best to suppress his voice: "Wow wow wow wow!"
His wife's expression changed drastically and she hugged him into her arms: "What happened? What crime have you committed? Are we going to flee back to Silla?"
Jin Liangtu stopped crying when he heard the cry and yelled: "What nonsense!"
When his wife closed her mouth, he continued to cry: "Wow, wow, wow, wow!"
It wasn't until his wife's clothes were soaked with tears that he explained the matter intermittently: "My dream... my dream... finally came true!"
The wife was stunned and tears fell from her eyes. They held each other's arms and cried one after another.
It wasn't until a few children in the back room were startled and the servants gathered outside in panic, looking like they were trying to escape back to Silla, that the wife wiped away her tears and went out to announce the good news: "Alang is going to be promoted! He's going to be promoted.
!”
Soon there was another group of people outside who couldn't sleep.
Jin Liangtu in the room finally calmed down his emotions, stopped crying, and held his wife's hand: "Madam, it won't be long before many ladies will come to invite you!"
The wife held her hand and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely learn how to drink tea, and I won't lose face to you!"
They couldn't sleep anyway, so they simply took out the tea cakes they bought: "Let's make tea together!"
…
early morning.
Li Yan rode out in high spirits. Officials passing by him kept saluting and asking questions, and even some people looked at him with suspicion.
The latter made him even happier.
Because this means that the situation has opened up.
[Fame: unknown (Luoyang)] → [Fame: slightly famous (Luoyang)]
【Achievement Points 100】
[Fame: Small fame (Luoyang)] → [Fame: Famous (Luoyang)]
【Achievement Points 200】
[Achievement Point 2] [Achievement Point 2] [Achievement Point 2]...
The famous movement in the Chang'an period was due to the help of the prince and Wu Minzhi, and the current famous movement in Luoyang is due to the publicity among the people in the market.
The Shandong gentry have always been good at conducting public opinion offensives. In order to repay the kindness of saving his son, Zheng Rentong also worked hard to publicize it among the gentry.
In addition, he went on a mission to show off his power, which is a real deed, so it naturally spread very quickly.
Li Yan was in a happy mood and was ready to dig out a potential cancer for the people of Luoyang. He happened to pass by Beishi and took a look over there.
It didn't matter. I saw a Tang Dynasty man standing in front of the square gate with a horizontal sword.
Although his face looked tired and he smelled of strong tea, his cold gaze towards the slave venue made Li Yan nod.
