Before Tang Chen finished speaking, Li Yong said coldly: "Of course not. I guess this must be Zhongshu Ling's idea, asking me to take you there. If you don't go, the crime will definitely be pinned on you and me.
"
Tang Chen lowered his head and thought that it would not be a bad thing to go out and gain experience now. Since to understand this planet, you must first understand the creatures on this planet. See if the officialdom here is the same as that in ancient China, and you can also give some advice.
Some of your next actions as a reference: "Okay then!"
"Well." Li Yong still looked thoughtful: "You go and prepare first, we will set off later!"
"good!"
"Wait a minute!" Tang Chen was about to go out. Li Yong seemed to have thought of something and stopped him. When Tang Chen turned around, he hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "Go back quickly!"
Li Yong and Tang Chen were riding in the same carriage. Li Yong stretched out his hands in the carriage to straighten his sleeves and then said casually: "You killed the general of Jiang Liao and now you can be regarded as a hero in the whole country. This
The Jiang Liao Kingdom has been harassing our territory for decades, and I was actually not sure of winning that battle. If you hadn't killed that general, I might not have been able to come back to the capital for a while."
"I also hit him by mistake. If he hadn't wanted to kill me, I would never have killed him."
"No!" Li Yong's tone was unusually firm: "You have to say that you are loyal to the imperial court in this matter, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause big trouble."
Tang Chen knew that it would be safer to listen to Li Yong here and just do whatever he said. Tang Chen looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside and asked casually: "Just now you told me that when the emperor saw that I was a Chinese
Shu Ling’s idea, what is the origin of this Zhong Shu Ling, and why does he want to see me.”
Li Yong snorted coldly: "This Zhongshu Ling has quite some background. His father was the prime minister of the former dynasty. He grew up in this environment. He started as the magistrate of Liuzhou, then the magistrate of Xuzhou and later became the director of the Department of Etiquette.
He compiled books and later served in the Ministry of War. Although this official position had its ups and downs, he basically served as a civil servant and a military attaché. After the death of the former prince, many officials resigned due to dissatisfaction with the emperor's rule. The emperor had no support.
He could only choose to appoint Chi Dao, put him in charge of Hanlin, recruited many officials into the officialdom, and with the support of those officials, he became the Secretary of the Central Committee. It can be said that he is the most powerful person in the dynasty today.
, because he usually behaves quite rogue, many officials are alienated from him, but on the surface they still have to be friends with him. In recent years, he has let his daughter marry the current prince, and his arrogance has become even more impressive. I am not afraid of you laughing when I say it. That’s why
When I was dissatisfied with the prince's marriage and would only attack him on the street, I was sent to guard the border for three years. This is also the first time I have come back in these years."
Tang Chenruo pondered: "Then Zhongshu Ling has a very high status in the court."
"No one except the emperor dares to touch him. Now that he has become the prince's father-in-law, it is even more difficult to touch him. But I am not afraid of him, as long as the water in the well does not interfere with the river." Li Yong finished speaking and looked at Tang
Chen said: "By the way, don't call me Uncle Li in the court, call me General Li by my official title."
"good."
The carriage reached Dingchemen and could not go any further. They had to walk the next section of the road. As soon as General Li got out of the car, a man with a gray beard, who was older than Li Yong and dressed in official uniform, came over: "
General Li, what is going on today?"
At this time, a voice came to Tang Chen's ears: "This is Zhao Shi, his soldiers killed me!"
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment and didn't know when this Sun Hang actually followed him. He whispered: "When did you follow me? Aren't you afraid of being heard by others when you talk like this? Don't get me involved!"
"Don't worry, the spiritual power in your body is enough to block the spiritual energy in me. No one can feel me on you. Don't worry, they can't hear my voice!"
Tang Chen was really helpless with this guy. Li Yong looked at the man walking towards him and patted his shoulder as if to remind him something: "Zhao Shangshu, things have been going well lately. I was fighting on the border but I often heard
Look at Master Zhao’s great achievements in this court!”
Li Yong's words seemed to shock Zhao Shangshu, and he quickly lowered his head: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Zhao Shangshu saw a young man getting off the carriage and looked at Tang Chen: "Is this Tang Chen who single-handedly killed the general of Jiang Liao on the battlefield?"
"Exactly." Li Yong turned around and looked at Tang Chen: "Tang Chen hasn't met Zhao Shangshu yet."
Tang Chen raised his hands and saluted: "I have met Zhao Shangshu."
Zhao Shangshu hurried over to support Tang Chen: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." He lowered his head and faced Li Yong: "Then I will go in first, General Li."
"Go!" Li Yong looked at his trembling figure, sneered and said to himself: "This old bone is still not honest at such an old age!"
"Who is this?" Tang Chen asked.
Li Yong walked towards the main hall and said: "This is the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhao Shi, who is in charge of the appointment of officials. You may be in contact with him in the future."
"This guy is not a good person, but you must be careful. He is an out-and-out corrupt official!" Sun Hang said.
"Shut up!" Tang Chen whispered: "Stay well with me, and get out of me if you are talking nonsense!"
Many officials were waiting outside the Yanming Palace. Tang Chen stood next to Li Yong. Li Yong always had his eyes closed. Tang Chen looked around. Many officials gathered here. They were in pairs and seemed to be talking.
From time to time, a few people would point at him. After a while, a man wearing the same official uniform as them came over and many people gathered around him. Only Li Yong did not move. Tang Chen thought that Li Yong did not move.
Yong was old and might be able to fall asleep even while standing. He shouted: "General Li, those officials have gone over, don't we need to go over?"
Li Yong's face suddenly turned cold, he opened his eyes and looked ahead: "Chi Dao is coming."
I saw the man walking towards Li Yong after saying a few words to the officials, but Li Yong still remained calm. At this time, Na Chidao said: "General Li, I have made great achievements in conquering the country and killing the enemy.
I would like to say congratulations on your return to the capital."
How could Li Yong not hear the ridicule in these words? He turned to look at him and continued with a smile: "I also heard that Zhongshu Ling became famous in this court and managed the court in an orderly manner.
It also gave Mr. Li a reassurance, so that I can fight with peace of mind on the border! If you want to say the merit is half as good as your Zhongshu Ling!"
Zhongshu Ling looked at Tang Chen with a faint smile: "This must be Tang Yingxiong?"
