Chapter Ninety-Eight: Wandering Horses and Traveling in Chang'an

I wish my friends a happy Chinese New Year!――

A wine finally broke up unhappily, compared to the last night drink in the wine shop, although the identities of the two people have been judged to be the same as before, but because of the importance of the matter, they have become a little silent, not to mention the atmosphere of the joy.

After the last glass of wine, Chen Qianli also planned to ask the deacon of the wine shop to arrange a bedroom for the night, but the deacon smiled.

"Why does Chen Jun need to be like this? General Zhonglang's car can even drive straight into the south, and the curfew can stop it?"

Chen Qianli was stunned and turned his head to look at Qin Jin.

Qin Jin smiled and said, "With the Son of Heaven giving you a copper coupon, the curfew is fine!"

What kind of person has never been here in the wine shop where the two of them are? What kind of person has the deacon been here for more than ten years, and what kind of person has never seen him? Ever since Qin Jin's car stopped outside the door, he had already paid attention. Chen Qianli and Li Cao are frequent visitors here, and the deacon of the wine shop has long known that although they are both Beijing officials with good rank, they are nothing in the powerful Chang'an City, and in the eyes of the deacon, they are just two unambitious petty officials.

Today, when he saw the Son of Heaven in a car, the deacon of the wine shop immediately glanced at Chen Qianligao. The officialdom in Chang'an City rises and falls, and there are those who ascend to heaven one day, and those who fall into hell one day. And once again, he was fortunate to witness the rise of the children of the poor family.

Chen Qianli looked at the deacon, looked at Qin Jin's eyes, suddenly confused and confused, and gradually clarified again, and then suddenly burst into consciousness and laughed.

"Happy, happy! Let's go down today and go with Zhonglang to go to Chang'an at night!"

Out of the wine shop, the torches outside the door were bright, and the ten armor soldiers were firmly fixed on the stone floor like wooden stakes and did not move, and the war horses that had been prepared snorted slightly uneasily, and a four-horse chariot appeared in front of them. Chen Qianli sighed, after a little more than a month, Qin Jin jumped from a small official to a servant of the Son of Heaven, and he was only a miscellaneous officer in the county court before, and with the strength of his life, it was already the limit to be promoted from a miscellaneous official to a foreign official.

At the beginning, he never imagined that he would one day become a confidant of the Son of Heaven, a person that General Longwu relied on very much.

And all this started because of the rebellion launched by the thief against Hu, if An Lushan was still in Fanyang at this time as his envoy to the Three Towns Festival, how could Qin Jin and him have today's status? They would still be in Xin'an as an inconspicuous assistant.

If it was normal for the door to be closed, it would have been forbidden to swagger in the street with torches like this, but at this time, none of the annoying Nanya forbidden troops in the past were gone.

The chariots drove away from the liquor store, and the noisy and bustling Chang'an Avenue was empty and silent during the day, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels was particularly loud.

Chen Qianli, who saw all this through the curtain, couldn't help but sigh again.

"With Jun's scenery tonight, I'm afraid that the prince will also be dwarfed!"

What Chen Qianli said was indeed the truth, because of his special status, the prince had countless pairs of eyes staring at his words and deeds, and it was too late to be cautious in his words and deeds, where did he dare to follow Huache and walk to Chang'an City on such a swaggering starry night? Then, Chen Qianli changed his words again, and said with a bit of playfulness: "This kind of scenery is really a charcoal group for you, and you sit on it and look at the scenery, but your butt hurts to be roasted!"

Of course, Qin Jin could hear that this was Chen Qianli's euphemistic persuasion. He didn't know the principle of being a low-key person, but this was only after following Zheng Xianli's advice. In front of a powerful monarch, there will be no concealment of any disguise, especially those who do not know how to defile themselves, and have always been the first choice of the Son of Heaven's suspicion.

On the other hand, when today's son is reused, which of the border generals and commanders does not have obvious shortcomings? Hebei's Three Towns Jiedu has always made An Lushan show people with vulgarity and bravery, Anxi Jiedu has made Gao Xianzhi have the merit of destroying the country but has the reputation of greedy for money, and Hexi Longyou Jiedu has made Ge Shuhan chivalrous and brave and trapped in wine.

The three jiedu envoys with the most military power in the imperial court have such and such shortcomings, which makes the Son of Heaven feel at ease to appoint them to control the place, but even so, Gao Xianzhi, who has the merit of destroying the country, is still deeply feared by the Son of Heaven, and was dismissed from the post of envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and was transferred to Chang'an in the open and dark. If it weren't for the sharp rise of civil strife in the Central Plains, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to command the army.

Zheng Xianli also confided in a news that is difficult for outsiders to know, Gao Xianzhi's so-called greed for money is just a self-defilement of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, the Western Regions and Chang'an are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the transportation is inconvenient, and the border generals and commanders command the army to control the place, how can the Son of Heaven be at ease?

Qin Jin was just a son of a poor family, and he was not related to the Son of Heaven, so did the Son of Heaven have no suspicion of him except for appreciating and valuing him? Just think about it, the person who suddenly gained reuse and ascended to a high position as a general, one is deeply sophisticated, the other has a loss of personal morality, which one is reassuring? The answer, of course, is the latter.

The Son of Heaven has always used his ability to rule the world, but not his virtue. For example, Wei Zheng of the Taizong Dynasty, this person was originally a subordinate of Yuan Baobao, and later voted for Li Mi, who voted for the Tang Dynasty after Li Mi lost to the Tang Dynasty, and as a result, he became a prisoner of Dou Jiande and voted for Dou Jiande. It was not until Taizong defeated Dou Jiande that Wei Zheng re-voted for the Tang Dynasty, and won the courtesy of the crown prince Li Jiancheng and washed the horse for the prince.

Finally, after the Xuanwumen Incident, the prince's party was defeated, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed, and Wei Zhengcai took refuge in Emperor Taizongwen, who achieved his first name.

Looking at it this way, Wei Zheng has betrayed the master several times, which in the era of attaching importance to loyalty and filial piety, private morality has been a mess. However, Taizong still did not blame him for the past, and even listed him as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion after his death.

If the subordinates only seek to be cautious and sell their reputation, in the eyes of mediocre masters with mediocre qualifications, they may be favored, but in today's sons, who are proficient in power and old in politics, the result of exchange may be counterproductive.

In the end, Qin Jin was persuaded by Zheng Xianli and adopted his opinion. From now on, it is no longer possible to hide the low-key, and the glory and special treatment given by the Son of Heaven will not be rejected by anyone who comes.

The horse team chariot soon arrived at Shengye Fang, and the guards at the gate of the fang did not dare to slack off when they saw the chariot and copper coupons of the Son of Heaven, and immediately opened the door of the fang and let Qin Jin enter the fang.

Shengye Fang is close to the Xingqing Palace in the south, and the people who live in it are either rich or noble, and they are all the top magnates of the entire Tang Dynasty, how could there have been such a hustle and bustle in the middle of the night.

Many of the gatekeepers in the gatehouses of the mansions were awakened by the sudden commotion and peered through the windows to see what was going on. According to the usual experience, if there is a horseshoe convoy entering the workshop in the middle of the night, eighty percent of the doctors and servants of the unknown family will be convicted again.

In the darkness, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this horse team that is like no one around, and the armor soldiers on the horses are aggressive, and every time they pass through a mansion gate, they don't know how many people pat their chests and rejoice, it is not their own home, but then they gloat at the excitement, wanting to see which one of the unlucky ones tonight is.

Soon, the horse team stopped in front of a mansion. There was a slave who stretched his neck to look at the excitement, and suddenly realized, isn't that the home of Wei Jiansu, the servant of the door? It seems that tonight is destined to be Wei Xianggong's unlucky night.

However, after these people dismounted, they walked to another mansion across the street, and who did not know about that mansion in recent days?

Shenwu Army Zhonglang General Qin Jin!

Could it be that he is the one who will be unlucky tonight?
