Huang Yukun said with a smile: "Congratulations to County Magistrate Li, congratulations to County Magistrate Li. This is an opportunity for County Magistrate Li. Da Sima and Xi Canjun have always cherished talents, valued young talents, and promoted them. Lord Fu, too.
People who love talents will recommend you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hahaha, I am really envious."
Li Hui frowned and remained silent.
Huan Xu smiled and said: "What? Is it possible that Magistrate Li doesn't want to do it? Hahaha."
Huang Yukun smiled and said: "I am so surprised that I am speechless. If it were me, I would do the same after hearing the news."
Li Hui said in a deep voice: "Prefect Huan, I appreciate your respect, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
"What?" Huan Xu asked in shock as the smile disappeared from his face.
"Why?" Huang Yukun also asked in surprise.
Even Xie Xuan on the side looked surprised and looked at Li Hui in surprise. He did not expect that Li Hui would refuse such an opportunity.
Li Hui cupped his hands and said, "Li Hui doesn't have much talent. The thing about Nianzi Mountain was that Governor Huan used his troops well and captured Yuan Jin. It's not my fault. I don't dare to be greedy for credit. So, if I go to see Huan
Da Sima and Xi are afraid that joining the army will disappoint them and embarrass Grand Administrator Huan. I would like to thank Grand Administrator Huan for treating me highly. I am grateful to you, but I don’t need to."
Huan Xu listened to these words and said slowly: "Li Hui, I'm afraid you don't mean what you said. Who wants to miss this opportunity? Don't play with your own future. Whether you have talent or not, I want Xi to join the army.
It’s up to you to decide, not yourself.”
Li Hui frowned and said: "Prefect Huan, I really can't go. I live in Chao County and there is a flood in the new year. Everything is complicated, so I can't leave. Please forgive me, Prefect Huan!"
Huan Xu's face was already a little sulky. He didn't expect that Li Hui actually rejected his invitation and didn't seem to show any interest at all. This was a bit irritating both in attitude and psychology. I originally thought that he
I will kowtow to say thank you and shed tears of gratitude.
Huan Xu suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Young people don't know how to cherish. Do you know how many people in this world want to see Huan Da Sima, and want to see Xi join the army? I promised to ask for merit and recommendation for you before.
For you, that's why you are like this. You should think twice. There are as many talented people in the world as crucian carp crossing a river. Most people can only live a mediocre life without opportunities. You must cherish it."
Li Hui cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Grandmaster Huan. Li Hui was born in a poor family. To be here today, he is grateful to the court for its support and he is very satisfied. I have no great ambitions, and I have no desire to rise to the top. Therefore, I would also like to invite Grandmaster Huan."
Forgive me. I still think it’s better not to go.”
Huang Yukun on the side said loudly: "Li Hui, what are you doing? Do you really think that you are a famous person in the world and indispensable? What else can you do to show off? Do you think you are Zhuge Wolong? You have to pay attention to me?"
Li Hui cupped his hands and said: "Huang County Magistrate, please calm down. How dare you call me a famous scholar, let alone Zhuge Wolong? You are really flattering me. I can only be a county magistrate because I have no ability. The county magistrate is actually me."
It’s also a bad thing. I was almost robbed of food by the rebels and almost had my farmland flooded. If the people’s food was robbed and their houses and farmland were flooded, I would be ashamed to death. It is precisely because of my lack of talent that I don’t
You dare to think about other things. Please don’t misunderstand me.”
Huang Yukun's face turned purple and he was choked and speechless. Li Hui's words were extremely ironic. People's food was robbed and farmland and houses were flooded. Isn't this exactly what happened in his Hefei County? This guy was taken for granted.
Even though he was mocking himself, he still acted so humble.
But what he said was true. Although Huang Yukun was angry, he could not refute it.
Huan Xu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Li Hui, do you have any resentment against me?"
Li Hui shook his head and said, "I don't dare."
Huan Xu said slowly: "I understand, you are probably because of the incident that I reported to Wang Muzhi. I heard that Wang Muzhi went to attack you to accuse you, so you are venting your anger on me. Is that right?"
Li Hui sneered in his heart, Huan Xu was self-aware, and he also knew that he had done such an unethical thing. However, he did not refuse because of that grudge today.
"Prefect Huan is worrying too much, and it has nothing to do with that matter. It's really because the official has no talent and doesn't dare to show his cowardice. Moreover, there are many things at hand, and he is very busy every day. I also ask Prefect Huan to let the official go back to deal with the affairs.
." Li Hui said in a deep voice.
Huan Xu sneered and nodded: "You have a lot of things to do? As far as I know, you are very carefree. You wander the streets every day with nothing to do. A few days ago, you celebrated the birthday of the concubine next to you.
I heard that you carefully arranged a lantern festival dinner for your concubine, which is really leisurely and relaxing."
Li Hui was startled and frowned: "Who is chewing on my tongue? Can't I even celebrate the birthdays of those around me? Prefect Huan has a good ear and eyes, and he even knows these things."
Huan Xu said in a deep voice: "You did these things in a big way, and the people of Juchao County saw it. Someone came to Lujiang County to tell you about it. So you can see that you are making excuses and are not telling the truth."
Li Hui cupped his hands and said: "If Grandmaster Huan thinks this way, I can't help it. In short, I don't want to go to Shouyang with the army, that's all. Thank you for your consideration, Grandmaster Huan. I just don't know how to promote him."
Huan Xu sneered and said, "What if I insist on you going?"
Li Hui looked at Huan Xu and said slowly: "Prefect Huan will not do this. Prefect Huan is not a person who forces others to do something difficult."
Huan Xu said: "That's not necessarily the case. What if I just want to force others into trouble?"
Li Hui laughed and said: "If Grand Administrator Huan talks like this, then I will not accompany you. I am the magistrate of Juchao County under Liyang County and is not under the jurisdiction of Grand Administrator Huan Lujiang County. You can't control me, let alone
You can't force me. Unless the prince of Liyang County gives an order, the subordinates have to obey the order. Does Grand Administrator Huan think that since all the county magistrates in the world are under your jurisdiction, you can force them to obey your orders? I am afraid that this is not the case in the Jin Dynasty.
The powerful governor."
Huan Xu was furious and shouted: "How dare you talk to me like this. I have no control over you. Where is Xi joining the army? Where is Huan Da Sima? Don't I have the power to control you, a little county magistrate?"
Li Hui said in a deep voice: "I am just a small county magistrate. Everyone has the power to control me. However, there must be evidence. It is empty talk. Does Huan Da Sima Xi have a written order to join the army? Does he want me to go? If not
, it’s just the empty talk of Grand Administrator Huan, how can you believe it?”
Huan Xu seemed to be a well-educated person, but today he was so angry that he lost his temper. He didn't expect that Li Hui not only refused to shed tears of gratitude, but also used clever words, excuses, and rude words to him. He held the corner of the case tightly with his hands and controlled
His own emotions. He had never been contradicted so face to face, and he was actually getting angry from embarrassment.
Huang Yukun said loudly from the side: "County Magistrate Li, don't be so presumptuous. Prefect Huan recommends you with good intentions, but you don't know how to recommend it. How can you be trustworthy? In any case, Prefect Huan is a superior official, how can you be disrespectful? Besides, Huan Da
Sima is the biological uncle of Grand Administrator Huan, so why do we need any written orders? If you are so disrespectful to Grand Administrator Huan, you are disrespectful to Sima Xi, the great general of Huan, for joining the army, and you should be punished."
Before Li Hui could say anything, Xie Xuan burst out laughing.
"I have really learned a lot today. There is actually a person like Magistrate Li. Prefect Huan recommended him, and Xi joined the army and summoned him, but you refused in every possible way? It's really interesting. Prefect Huan was so kind-hearted, but he was treated like a donkey, hahaha.
"
Huan Xu frowned and glared at Xie Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "Teach Xie Canjun to laugh."
Xie Xuan said with a smile: "Prefect Huan, if someone doesn't want to go, why force him to go? Everyone has his own ambitions. County Magistrate Li said that he has no ambitions and doesn't want to become a successful person, so why force him to go? This is not surprising.
, How many people in our Jin Dynasty live in seclusion in the mountains and fields, focusing on the mountains and rivers? This is a personal ambition, and the court doesn’t force it? Didn’t my fourth uncle live in seclusion in Dongshan before he was forty years old, not asking about the affairs of the world? When will I
Does Dajin need to force others to do things?"
Huan Xu snorted and said nothing.
Xie Xuan looked at Huang Yukun and said: "Magistrate Huang, you have lost your composure. How can you threaten Magistrate Li? Da Sima has a broad mind, and Xi Canjun is wise and peaceful, and never forces others to do anything. Magistrate Li has done nothing wrong.
Why should I be charged? When word spread, others thought Da Sima and Xi Canjun were narrow-minded."
Huang Yukun hurriedly smiled and cupped his hands and said: "What Xie Canjun said is true. I am being arrogant in this post."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I also heard that County Magistrate Li did have some abilities. He helped arrest Yuan Jin before, which is indeed a credit. Prefect Huan acted fairly and was thirsty for talents, so he recommended County Magistrate Li
Ling. Magistrate Li is indifferent to fame and wealth and does not want to take credit. This is a good story. Why is there still a quarrel? Let me see. Let’s talk about this later. There is no need to make a joke. Prefect Huan, we still want to
Going to Shouyang to assist in the battle is more important than suppressing the rebellion. What do you think?"
Huan Xu nodded solemnly and said, "What General Xie said is absolutely true. I have lost my grace."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Prefect Huan is indeed very personable. Magistrate Li, what do you say?"
Li Hui bowed and said: "Xiaguan's words are rude, please don't worry about it. I'm useless. I have failed to live up to Grandmaster Huan's expectations. I'm extremely sorry."
Huan Xu waved his hand and said: "That's all, think about it carefully and come to me when you have figured it out. We will leave for Shouyang soon, and we don't have time to stay here. You can leave."
Li Hui bowed his hands and resigned from the camp.
The moment he walked out of the camp, Li Hui turned around unintentionally. He saw Huan Xu's eyes, and he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. Huan Xu looked at him with a sharp gaze, like two blades. Li
Hui had never seen such a look in his eyes, maybe it was the so-called murderous intent.
However, the look in his eyes flashed away and was quickly replaced by gentleness. Huan Xu cupped his hands and said, "Have a good journey."
