The next day, Wang Tao met Liu Yu again in the flower hall of Jiedushi Mansion, accompanied by Wu Li, the chief secretary.
Wang Tao said directly to Liu Yu: "I read the battle report you Kaipingwei sent me. I still didn't believe it, so I sent someone to verify it. This person next to you is my chief secretary Wu Li, so I will
Send him back with you to inspect the head and record the military merits. If all the facts are consistent with the military reports, the credit this time is indispensable to thousands of your families. If you lie about the military merits, you will be dealt with according to the military law. Do you understand?"
Liu Yu respectfully said to Wang Tao: "I understand everything you said, but our military exploits in Kaipingwei are real. The Jiedushi Master sent people to check, in order to confirm that our military achievements are real, and we naturally welcome them."
I just don’t know when to set off.”
Wang Tao said: "The military situation is urgent and there is no time to delay. You should set off now. Chief Wu is my right-hand man and cannot be away for a long time. You should leave early and come back early. Once the military merits have been verified, you and I can rest assured."
Liu Yu had no doubts about this and expressed that he completely obeyed the arrangements of Lord Jiedushi.
Wang Tao was quite satisfied with his attitude. Originally, he thought that Liu Yu was afraid of being exposed for lying about military information, so he wanted to shirk the blame. Now that Liu Yu had agreed, Wang Tao ordered the two of them to set off immediately so that he could know what Kaipingwei was like as soon as possible.
Defeat the Tatars.
So in the morning, Liu Yu rode a horse and Wu Li took a car with a few guards and immediately set off for Kaipingwei. They stayed overnight at Xiaoxing along the way and were careful. They were really afraid of being harassed by Tatars on the road, but they did not
They didn't meet any Tatars, which made Wu Li feel more favorable towards Jia Ke. Although he was suspected of pretending to be a military leader, at least they kept the Tatars out of the Kaiping Guards, and they had no hope for the hundreds of people behind them.
The people here are still kind.
Liu Yu and Wu Li walked for three or four days before arriving at Kaipingwei. After entering Kaipingwei from the south gate, Wu Li opened the car window and looked outside, and found that the markets were very prosperous. There was no depression after the war. It seemed that
People's hearts are very peaceful.
When Liu Yu and Wu Li arrived at the gate of Qianhu Mansion, Liu Yu dismounted first, and then told the soldiers at the door to ask Jia Ke to come out to greet him, saying that he was the chief clerk of the Jiedushi Mansion and came to inspect the military merits.
When the soldier heard what Liu Yu said, he immediately went into the inner house to report to Jia Ke. Wu Li also got out of the car and waited for Jia Ke at the door. Soon he heard the sound of footsteps, and Wu Li saw a young man running out from inside.
.Wu Li knew that Jia Ke was very young, so he thought that this person was Kaipingwei Qianhu.
Jia Ke quickly came to the door and saw a middle-aged scribe standing next to Liu Yu. He had a broad forehead and a pair of thick eyebrows. His face was very dull, like a taut drum skin.
Jia Ke had just received the report and knew that this was the chief registrar who came to inspect his military achievements, so he did not dare to offend him. So he hurried forward, bowed to him and saluted him, and said in a humble voice: "It turns out that the registrar is here, and the younger generation will greet him.
I'm late, please forgive me, Lord Registrar."
Wu Li saw that although Jia Ke was young, he was well-mannered and not as arrogant and domineering as other children from aristocratic families. His favorable impression of him increased.
Wu Li stepped forward to help Jia Ke up and said: "Jia Qianhu, you have fought for the country and fought off the Tatars with great merit. How can I, a weak scholar, dare to accept your great gift?"
After listening to Wu Li's words, Jia Ke's face became more respectful, and he saluted again: "Sir, I studied the knowledge of saints. When I was at home, I also studied classics and articles, and studied with famous teachers for a while, but because of my limited qualifications.
I deeply regret that I cannot stand out in the imperial examination. When I see a learned person like my husband, I unconsciously feel close to him and feel as if I have met my teacher again."
Wu Li heard that Jia Ke had also studied under a famous teacher, and he couldn't help but become interested. He asked him which master he was from.
Jia Ke quickly replied: "My teacher is in the first class, fifth in the second class, and his surname is Li Wenbin. He is now working in the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Wu Li thought about it carefully, and he really remembered that there was such a person. He heard that he was in charge of Shaanxi's money and grain in the Ministry of Household Affairs and had made some achievements.
When Wu Li heard that he was his disciple and that he also came from the imperial examination, he felt a little closer to him. He knew that he was not a pure martial artist, but just abandoned his writing to join the war, and he could be considered a half-Confucian. No wonder he knew etiquette so well.
I wanted to give him a slap in the face first, but now seeing how respectful he is, there is no need.
Jia Ke introduced Wu Li into the lobby of Kaiping Mansion and asked Wu Li to take a seat. Although Wu Li was willing, he couldn't follow the instructions, so he said that only Jia Ke, the chief official, could sit in the lobby of Kaiping Wei. How could he, a civil servant, sit there?
Such a location?
How dare Jia Ke sit in front of him now? He kept giving in and insisted on asking Wu Li to sit on the throne.
Wu Li couldn't put it off, and he thought he was Jia Ke's superior official, so he followed the trend and became the chief official.
Jia Ke bowed and stood in the hall to accompany him. In fact, it was not that Jia Ke had much respect for Wu Li. He just thought that the king of hell was easy to meet, but the devil was difficult to deal with. Wang Tao, the governor of Jiedu, might also be taboo about Jia, Wang, and Shi.
The power of the four big Xue families gave him some face, but the little devils below him, as long as they do a little harm to Jia Ke, they may turn Jia Ke's great achievements into small achievements, and his small achievements into insignificant achievements.
Where there is merit, there is fault. This was also Jia Ke's last life, and he summarized some small personal experiences.
Wu Li saw Jia Ke standing obediently in the hall, and did not dare to be disrespectful to him. Although he was old-fashioned, he was still a human being after all, and he felt very relieved about this situation. So when he spoke, his tone was much gentler: "Jia Ke
Qianhu, did the Jiedushi government receive your military report? There are a lot of oddities in it. Jiedushi is worried and asked me to check it again carefully. Don't report it to the court when the time comes. Something went wrong.
Everyone is at fault."
Jia Ke respected him and answered him: "What the Chief Registrar said is that Kaipingwei may be a little careless in doing things, which makes Master Jiedu worry about it. Since you have to check it again when you come, everyone in Kaipingwei will cooperate fully.
Don't dare to make any obstruction. You can go wherever you want to see."
Wu Li was very satisfied with Jia Ke's attitude and said nothing more.
Jia Ke and Wu Li had already finished what they had to say, and then said: "Your Excellency, you have just come to Kaipingwei, and it has been a long and tiring journey. I have already prepared an upper room for you. You can take a rest first. We will prepare an upper room for you in the evening."
Let’s have a banquet to catch the wind and wash away the dust. Please forgive me for your honor.”
Wu Li listened to Jia Ke's thoughtful arrangements, nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's up to you to do whatever you want. Master Jia has already arranged it, so I can't refuse. It's all up to Master Jia's arrangements."
As soon as Jia Ke heard that Wu Li had agreed, he immediately made arrangements for his family, sent Wu Li to the Qianhu Mansion, and arranged for maids to serve him. After everything was arranged, he withdrew.
Jia Ke returned to the study, called Liu Yu to him, and asked him in detail about the situation in the Jiedushi Mansion.
Liu Yu reported to him 1510 times, and the key points were reported to him. Jiedushi did not believe that they had achieved a great victory in Kaipingwei, so he sent Wu Li to look at the military achievements again to see if Jia Ke was in a hurry to pretend to have military achievements.
