Chapter 951: False Heavenly Son Becomes a Monk
Li Yan's behavior made Zhang Jie very nervous, for fear that he would lose Qin Jin's trust by dealing with it appropriately, but from Qin Jin's attitude, it seemed that he didn't care much about Li Yan's behavior. However, he was only afraid that Qin Jin was testing himself, so he said very resolutely that Li Yan's behavior should be exposed, and warned the princes not to be clever, but to be clever and mistaken.
Faced with Zhang Jie's statement, Qin Jin pondered for a while, and finally agreed to his suggestion. Indeed, after Li Yu announced the edict for the selection of the crown prince, his performance was too ugly, and he even did something to invite people to buy people's hearts.
Qin Jin naturally knew a lot more than Zhang Jie, and in addition to sending someone to persuade Zhang Jie to add credit to his wife and brother in violation of regulations, he also sent at least 10,000 gold to Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Fortunately, Xia Yuanji was a person with a bit of a sense of the overall situation, and truthfully informed Qin Jin of this matter, and proposed to hand over the 10,000 gold to the Shenwu Army as military salary.
Xia Yuanji was not moved in the face of such a huge amount of money, which was a bit unexpected by Qin Jin, after all, this old man's official reputation was not very good, and now he can recognize the situation clearly, which naturally makes Qin Jin take a look at it to a certain extent.
As for Zhang Jie, was Li Xuan so stupid as to think that he could buy him with just a few words? Qin Jin secretly sneered, and really thought that he would be able to make an empty promise? With Qin Jin's understanding of Zhang Jie, this person is definitely a person with great ambitions, otherwise it would not have been possible to cooperate with Tian Chengsi at the risk of breaking his family, and it was precisely because of this that he promoted this person. Now it seems that the previous judgment of Zhang Jie was generally not wrong, and if he dared to sue King Xiang, he naturally accepted a letter of nomination.
So, Qin Jin accepted the petition.
"Okay, the matter of King Xiang is like this for the time being, tomorrow Qin will order the officials to issue a warning, let him do it himself, otherwise he will ......"
Although Qin Jin didn't say the next words, Zhang Jie was already trembling in shock, he knew that if he made this Qin Doctor angry, there would definitely be no good end. However, Zhang Jie's mind was far more than that, and he muttered:
"King Xiang's biological mother Pei Zhaoyi and ......"
Pei Zhaoyi and Pei Jing in the Shenwu Army are sisters and brothers of the same sect, and in terms of seniority, King Xiang has to call Pei Jing an uncle, and it is precisely because of this that this prince, who is a little ignorant, is so arrogant and unscrupulous, and actually dug the corner of the wall to Qin Jin's body.
Zhang Jie reminded Xiangwang Li Xuan of the relationship between Pei Jing that he didn't want Qin Jin to do anything impulsive, and if something went wrong, he would blame himself in the future.
When Qin Jin heard this, he laughed, he had long known the relationship between Li Heng and Pei Jing, this was not the main issue he cared about, he also believed that Pei Jing would definitely be able to distinguish the priorities, and now the only question was how to make these Li Heng's princes do their part and recognize the situation.
Although Qin Jin didn't say it, his purpose was very clear, that is, to set up an obedient emperor, so as not to fight for power and profit just after succeeding to the throne.
Compared with an emperor who competes for power and profit, the current Datang needs an obedient emperor even more.
"Pei Zhaoyi went there and Qin Mou said that you are drafting official documents in the Ministry of Officials, and if anyone wants to bribe to achieve the goal of being promoted to the knighthood, they will be disqualified from the merit examination!"
"Yes, the Admiral has written it down!"
Zhang Jie secretly praised in his heart, this is what Doctor Qin did in his mind, if he throws a mouse trap, the result can only be unsatisfactory.
After explaining the matter, Qin Jin's tone softened again, and he pointed to the tea soup served by the servant and said:
"Drinking tea, drinking tea, talking for a while, my mouth is dry......"
As he spoke, he picked up a bowl of tea in front of him, lifted the lid, the fragrance was on his face, and he took a sip of it and felt clear. In front of Zhang Jie, it is still the tea soup that the officials and dignitaries of the times love to drink, the tea bricks are finely ground into powder, and then supplemented by pepper and other ingredients to make a tea soup.
The aroma of tea in Qin Jin's bowl obviously attracted Zhang Jie's attention, feeling that this was an unprecedented tea, and his eyes were full of curiosity. This curiosity naturally did not escape Qin Jin's eyes, he put the tea bowl in his hand on the desk, and said with a smile:
"Qin is not used to drinking tea soup, so he only fried and dried the tea buds, and brewed it with boiling water, which is not only convenient, but also simple and fragrant, and it is also a certain mind!"
Zhang Jie realized that he was now Qin Jin's henchman, so he had the courage to ask Qin Jin for a bowl of tea.
Qin Jin readily agreed, this is not a rare thing, if someone is happy to drink tea, he is willing to promote it.
Soon, the servant brought another pot of tea and poured it for Zhang Jie.
In the porcelain bowl with a white background, the pale yellow tea soup is gradually poured, in Zhang Jie's opinion, it is simply a unique enjoyment, although there is no miscellaneous spices, but only a taste of fragrance makes people feel that they have returned to the true nature of nature.
"The doctor's way of drinking tea is really unprecedented......
This is not that Zhang Jie deliberately complimented, but he really felt that Qin Jin's method of brewing tea made people feel a refreshing sense of purpose.
Qin Jin smiled very satisfied, and said:
"Since you like to drink tea, Qin still has a lot of it here, so I will order someone to wrap a bag for you in a while, and go back to brew it!"
"In that case, the subordinates will be disrespectful!"
Zhang Jie smiled and thanked him, on the one hand, he felt that the vote he received today was definitely worth it. Although it was just a simple bag of tea, it was enough to prove Qin Jin's trust in him.
However, Qin Jin's conversation suddenly changed again, and he jumped to the body of Li Qi, the king of Qi.
"Now, all the princes are not only one King Xiang who is ready to move, in order to win the position of the crown prince, they are all racking their brains and trying their best, which is really a headache!"
Qin Jin said this, which made Zhang Jie even more flattered, in his eyes, Doctor Qin rarely showed his heart, and now he actually expressed his anxiety about the princes so obviously, obviously he didn't regard himself as an outsider.
Zhang Jie also tried his best to plan for Qin Jin, and after thinking for a while, he suggested:
"The Ten Princes' Mansion has been loosely managed since the Tubo soldiers retreated, and the princes also feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, so it is better to find an opportunity to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger!"
When Qin Jin heard this, he still shook his head, for Li Heng Zhuzi, he felt that it was better not to be too tough, there were already many people who questioned his practice of not welcoming Li Heng back, if he suppressed Li Heng Zhuzi so obviously, he would only get more criticism.
Qin Jin was not afraid of criticism, the problem was that it would bring a lot of resistance to his plan, which was not what he was happy to see.
However, we can't let a few older and innocent princes act arbitrarily, and it is also necessary to remind them tactfully.
"Don't do this, if you don't get it right, it will make the court complain, and the situation of the Shenwu Army will be embarrassed!"
Zhang Jie disagreed with Qin Jin's caution in his heart, the officials of the imperial court have always seen the wind and steered, and now the Shenwu Army has absolute authority in Chang'an City, and there is no contraceptive pill at all to blindly care about the so-called public opinion.
As long as Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army hold the lives of these officials, it is really rare to dare to jump out and bark and prickly the hair. However, since Dr. Qin has confessed, Zhang Jie also has his own way to deal with it, he has been a local official for more than ten years, and there are many such methods.
"In that case, please rest assured that the subordinates will do it properly!"
After leaving the Zhongjun Shuaitang, Zhang Jie returned to the official office of the Ministry of Officials non-stop, and ordered the officials to transfer the file of King Xiang's wife and uncle, he planned to study it in detail, and then make an example of killing chickens and monkeys.
Suddenly, a scribe came in mysteriously, and when he saw Zhang Jie looking at the file, he lowered his head and went to the desk to deal with the official documents that had not been disposed of the day before.
However, the expression on Ling Shi's face in the book was not at all in Zhang Jie's eyes, and it was clearly written that something had happened.
"What happened today?"
At first, the officials of these officials did not look down on Zhang Jie, who was promoted by the county commanders, but after his rectification, everyone put away their contempt and was cautious in front of him, for fear of touching the mold.
That book Ling Shi is obviously also a character who likes to say right and wrong, and when he saw Zhang Jie talking, his eyebrows flew and he said:
"The subordinate just came to see a lively scene on the way, does Lang Zhong know that Li Chenghong has become a monk in Qinglong Temple?"
"Who, who is a monk?"
Zhang Jie thought that his ears had heard it wrong for a while, just now he also discussed with Qin Jin how to deal with the puppet son of heaven set up by the Tubo people, Qin Jin once said that it is appropriate to be lenient and not strict with this person, and the method of dealing with it should not be introduced now, so it will be delayed for a while, and then it will be said when the resentment in people's hearts has reached some.
Although he didn't know why Qin Jin wanted to treat Li Chenghong well, he was very clear about one thing, that is, he followed in the footsteps of Doctor Qin.
But who would have thought that he had just returned to the official court and heard such a ridiculous thing.
"It's Li Chenghong, the puppet son of heaven set up by the Tubo people!"
"Really, isn't someone playing around maliciously?"
The book made Shi Zhitian swear by the curse:
"Everything the subordinate said is true, if there is a word and half that is not true, teach the subordinate not to die well......"
It's just a matter of right and wrong, and the serious look of the book makes Zhang Jie can't help laughing. But there was no smile on his face in any way.
"Send someone to verify it immediately, if Li Chenghong acted without authorization, Doctor Qin must not know yet!"
"Yes, the subordinates understand!"
The book made Shi Xing rush away, and today's little episode of right and wrong made him feel that his relationship with this Zhang Langzhong had taken another step. However, Zhang Jie, who stayed in the court, felt that there must be something strange in Li Chenghong's fanfare to become a monk in Qinglong Temple, otherwise why didn't even Dr. Qin know about it?
