Wang Jue didn't know what he meant and asked loudly: "Loyalty and filial piety are the two words, loyalty comes first! For those of us who are ministers, besides the emperor and the future emperor, who else can we serve?"
At this moment, He Zhizhang no longer looked like a sullen old man. His outstretched sleeves were full of momentum and he pointed angrily at Wang Jue: "Who else? Can my fortune of more than 120 years in the Tang Dynasty be inferior to that of the emperor? I am thousands of years old.
The prosperity of China cannot be compared to the emperor? The stability of the fifty million people in our country cannot be compared to the emperor?!"
Wang Jue thought that Old Man He was unreasonable, and angrily accused him: "What do you think these have to do with what you are doing! In order to hint the saint to abdicate, you wrote a letter requesting to retire and return home! At that time, the saint was aware of the intentions of you and the prince.
, deliberately revealed that he wanted to rule by inaction, and appointed the political affairs committee and Li Linfu to force you to take action! I didn’t expect that the prince could bear it, but you, the teacher, couldn’t bear it first! "
Supervisor He said sadly with trembling lips: "Of course the prince can bear it, he can become the emperor if he endures it. Of course I can't bear it, I, the Tang Dynasty, can't endure it!"
"You keep talking about the Tang Dynasty, but do you know that the king is the country?"
"The king is not the country!"
Supervisor He stood by the pavilion with his hand on the railing, looked at the lake and said: "Take back a word for your saint, young people are weak, old people are faint. Only when you are young can you work hard, make achievements, and build your country. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyone can sit in the state, country or country, but only the weak and faint cannot sit."
When the people who followed Wang Jue heard these words, their bodies trembled involuntarily. The people who said these words were fearless, but people like them didn't know if they had the courage to spread the word.
Supervisor He seemed to have exhausted all his energy in this argument. He hunched over and turned around. The hands of the man behind him holding the wine plate were trembling.
"Is this the blessed wine given to me by the saint?"
He Zhizhang picked up the wine bottle on the tray, poured a bowl into the wine cup, and drank it down.
"Thank you saint for your blessing!"
Old Supervisor He let out a long laugh, but it sounded very sad. Everyone could hear that he was not sad for himself, but sad for the sun that was about to set in the dusk, and sad for the fate of the country that was about to decline.
…
The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun above Wuwei City turned yellow.
A guest came to the residence of Li Guangbi, the military envoy of the Great Dou Army, and delivered a greeting card to the residence. After receiving the greeting card, the housekeeper was not in a hurry to deliver it to the owner.
Ambassador Li had just returned from the school grounds. He was standing in the hall wearing shining bright armor and spreading his arms. The servants gathered around him and began to remove his armor from his shoulder pads. The removed armor was hung on the armor rack in the center of the hall.
superior.
The maid brought a basin of hot water, washed the towel in her hands, wrung it out, and handed it to the master. Li Guangbi grabbed it and wiped the sweat from his face and the back of his neck.
After Li Jun sat down in front of the desk and took a few sips of the boiled tea that had been left to cool down, the steward came closer with the invitation in hand.
"Who else is coming to visit?"
The steward crossed his hands and reported, "The person who came here claims to be Li Siye, the envoy of Shule and Khotan, the governor of Anxi."
"Li Siye?" Li Guangbi raised his head and asked in confusion: "I have no friendship with the generals in Qixi, why did he come to me?"
The steward couldn't answer this question, so he just lowered his head and hesitated.
"Then please invite General Li to come in."
"Here."
After a while, Li Siye followed the steward, followed by his entourage carrying items.
Although the visitor was a stranger, his official rank was the same as that of Li Guangbi. To show respect, he stood in front of the hall and greeted him. Opposite him was a strong man with thick eyebrows and heroic spirit. This made Li Guangbi feel good.
Starting with appearance is how most people identify people.
Unexpectedly, this visitor did something that made Li Guangbi's favorable impression of him fall drastically.
"This is a little greeting gift from a certain person. I hope Ambassador Li Jun will accept it." Li Siye indicated with his eyes, and Yan Xiaosi behind him placed a cloth bag on the table in front of Li Guangbi.
Li Guangbi leaned over and stretched out his hand to shake off the rope on the pocket. It was filled with brown peppercorns. He squinted his eyes and squinted at Li Siye. Sure enough, you can't just look at people's faces. Who would have thought that he looked brave and loyal like this?
How can such a person still make money and push ghosts?
"What do you mean by honoring me? Are you using these properties to buy my head, Li Guangbi?"
"Mr. Li has misunderstood. I do have something to ask of you, but I won't let you take bribes and pervert the law."
Li Guangbi smiled sarcastically and said, "The pepper is all in my face. Isn't that considered greedy or accepting bribes?"
Li Sizhu took the initiative to sit in front of the desk, tapped his fingers on the table and spoke in a calm voice: "Last year, I followed Fu Meng Lingcha, the governor of Qixi Province, to the capital to express his merits. This year, I followed Fu Meng Zhong, the military governor of Hexi Province.
When Cheng returns, he will only stay in Wuwei for a few days and will return to Shule in a few days."
"What does this have to do with me?" His self-cultivation is much better than that of many of his colleagues. If he were replaced by An Sishun, the commander of the Great Dou Army, he would probably use swear words directly.
"Alas," Li Siye sighed out of thin air and said: "There is a brother in our army. He is still young and has his father. It was his elder brother who accompanied him and raised him up. The two brothers lived in poverty and relied on each other until the 23rd day of Kaiyuan.
In 1999, he went to Qixi to join the army and become a Long March runner. He stayed there for twelve years... In this way, he personally killed the enemies of his brother's family, the magistrate of Changsong County and the Zhang family, a large family in the county."
After listening to this, Li Guangbi rubbed his face in embarrassment and said, "You told me so much that tears almost fell down. It turned out to be a major murder case that caused a sensation in Wuwei City recently. But this is not my business. I'm just here to help."
The new Jiedushi is in charge of the Chishui Army. The so-called unjust cases and strange cases are under the jurisdiction of Sima Facao, a subordinate of the Liangzhou Governor, so I say you have found the wrong person."
He pushed the bag of pepper from the table towards Li Siye.
Li Siye, however, grabbed his pocket with both hands and pushed it over with a smile: "Envoy Li has misunderstood again. He is not asking you to contribute to the case, but he wants to recruit a few soldiers from your command to help with this big case."
On the day of the trial, he shouted that he was wronged outside the Liangzhou Mansion and pleaded for Dai Wang’s acquittal as a representative.”
Li Guangbi's eyes widened and his voice became louder: "Are you asking me to send people to disturb the public? Are you asking me to send people to interfere in the trial? What on earth do you think? The new Jiedushi took office.
At this juncture of his life, are you asking me to give him eye drops?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood again. First of all, I have already appealed to Fu Meng Zhongcheng to explain that he also wanted to excuse Dai Wang, but he couldn't find a good reason. So if there are athletes from the Hexi Army
If you speak up for Dai Wang, it will be much easier for him to step down. Secondly, if Commander Li is still worried about offending anyone for this matter, then you don't need to do anything. You only need to agree with me and the guards and captains under your command.
Contact, you have the right to pretend that you don’t know about this matter, how about.”
Li Guangbi pulled his beard and hesitated for a moment, unable to make a decision.
"Li Junshi, this Dai Wang is an athletic boy from Changsong, Hexi. Although he has not served in the Chishui Army, he is also a man raised by the soil and water of Hexi. Now he is righteous and avenges his brother, but he has to be sentenced to death. Since ancient times,
There is a precedent for avenging one's father and obtaining a pardon. Presumably these soldiers who were born in the same hometown would also be willing to go out and tell each other for it."
"Okay, I can pretend not to know about this, and you can just mobilize my subordinates, but you will not receive any reward for your efforts." Li Guangbi pushed the bag of pepper over again.
Li Siye pushed it forward again: "Please ask Ambassador Li Jun to accept it, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"Okay." Li Guangbi nodded bravely.
"Then I'll take my leave first. There's no need to see me off."
When Li Siye came out of Li Guangbi's house, he still felt like he was in a trance. He checked his stomach carefully and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he just said. The main reason was that this person had such a great name. Although he was not yet a capable person, he already had the potential to be a famous general.
. But after a little contact, I discovered that there is no perfect person in the world. I am afraid that Li Guangbi put all his attributes into fighting, but he is very unfamiliar with interpersonal communication and officialdom.
