Chapter 198: Fifty Strings of Jinse
Qin Jin's ideological work has finally been fruitful this time, which has a lot to do with his uninterrupted subtlety for several months. Far from complaining, the troublemakers began to work harder than before.
Qin Jin also lived on the construction site as promised, and personally participated in the construction, which made the forbidden soldiers who were born in the sons of Xun Qi full of enthusiasm. But things are not just going to be at ease from now on, Qin Jin still has one thing on his mind that he can't let go. That was the contradiction between Lu Qi and Yang Xingben, which did not attract enough attention from him before, but now it seems that it was obviously a serious mistake and almost caused a catastrophe.
It's just that the contradiction between the two people has been around for a long time, and if you want to resolve it, it can't be achieved overnight, and you can only reasonably arrange their rotation time in a short period of time, so as not to cause conflict.
In this sudden crisis, it was not without gains, Wei Ji's performance was remarkable, and the handling was also in place in a timely manner. It seems that this person's potential still needs to be tapped.
"General Zhonglang, the shovel is here!"
The words of the entourage made Qin Jin come back to his senses from his thoughts, looking at the construction site in front of him, Qin Jin took off his robe, revealing a capable short fight, took the shovel and jumped into the pit.
"Nakaro will ......"
This abrupt move startled everyone.
Wei Ji and Du Fu were next to them, and they were also stunned by Qin Jin's actions, they never imagined that Qin Jin would do what he said, completely ignoring the decency of the officials.
"If you can eat and live here, you have already done what you say, so why really pick up a shovel?"
Wei Ji sighed lightly. Du Fu, who was beside him, didn't say a word, his eyes radiated a light of thought, as if he had woken up.
"General Zhonglang, this, such a cheap servant, but you can't ...... it"
Yang Xingben was very close to Qin Jin's position, so he immediately wiped the sweat on his face and came to dissuade him.
After all, at the time of the Tang Dynasty, there was still a difference between the noble and the low, and it was very appalling for an official to do these rough and lowly work without regard to official etiquette and decency.
Qin Jin said, "What's the matter?
Yang Xingben stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head before he said: "Someone has to do this work, so why should Zhonglang do it himself." ”
Qin Jin's words made him sigh greatly, and although his words were still dissuading, his tone was no longer as firm as before.
Subsequently, Qin Jin actually said another sentence, which shocked Wei Ji Du Fu's intuition.
"There is no shame in the work of the body, not only is there no shame, but it is even more glorious than anything else. Only those who do not work hard and sit back and enjoy what they do should be ashamed!"
These words were immediately exchanged for high-fives. The forbidden soldiers high-fived, not because they felt that Qin Jin's words were reasonable, but because this sentence came from Qin Jin's mouth, in addition to the recognition gained by practicing weal and woe, a large part of the reason came from the prestige he had established in the army over the past few months.
Wei Ji's face had already turned pale, so it didn't matter much to say that the nobles and magnates in the court were not much of a problem, but the problem was that Qin Jin's attack was too wide, and even the Son of Heaven was implicated, if it was passed on to the palace by someone with a heart, the consequences would be big or small.
But seeing that this trick was very effective, he couldn't openly dissuade it. And Du Fu, who stood side by side with him, suddenly felt emotion and resonance, which had a lot to do with his experience in the past ten years.
Because he has been hovering on the edge of the bottom, he has seen a lot and experienced the injustice of reality. Just last year, he also personally wrote poems such as "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road......
But once the official fortune comes, even if it is only half a year later, for Du Fu, there is a feeling of being in a different world.
At this time, Du Fu remembered that after Qin Jin first revealed his identity, when he was surprised and did not calm down, he had said something that sounded fresh and quite intriguing.
"Don't forget the original intention"
What is the purpose of diligently seeking office, for the glory of the ancestors, for the sake of showing one's talents, or for the sake of the world? Du Fu couldn't help but be stunned for a while, he felt that he was almost lost in the light of power and status, and he almost couldn't extricate himself.
Wei Ji has lived a prosperous life since he was a child, and after he became an adult, he has never suffered setbacks, and his mood is naturally different from Du Fu's. For Qin Jin's words, he had no feeling at all, and only sounded endlessly frightened. At the same time, he was also glad that fortunately, he was surrounded by henchmen of the Shenwu Army, and he would not leak such rebellious words.
At the moment when the two of them had their own concerns, suddenly a person who looked like a eunuch came to the construction site and asked in a sharp voice:
"Which one is Wei Zuocheng, and which one is Du Langzhong?"
Wei Ji's eyes were sharp and his memory was good, and he immediately recognized this eunuch as a close confidant of the prince, named Li Fuguo.
Li Fuguo came to the two under the guidance of the forbidden army, but saw that he saluted the two very respectfully, and then said politely: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited the two of you to the political hall!"
After the two of them returned the salute, Wei Ji asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned him, what did he ask?"
After conveying the prince's order, Li Fuguo showed his trademark smile again and replied, "His Royal Highness the prince is concerned about the progress, please ask the two of you to consult." ”
"Please wait a while, wait for Wei and Du Langzhong to change their clothes. ”
At this time, Wei Ji and Du Fu were covered in dust and mud, and it was obviously inappropriate to meet the prince like this. Who knew that Li Fuguo waved his hand and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already explained, the two of you can go as usual, and you will have to have some new atmosphere, and red tape can be avoided." ”
Du Fu couldn't help but be moved, these words came from the mouth of the prince, which was the blessing of the Tang Dynasty.
……
Wei Ji unnaturally wiped the folds on his robe, and the prince in front of him in such a disheveled manner made him feel like he was on pins and needles. Du Fu's feelings are almost less than his.
The crown prince Li Heng calmly observed Wei Ji and Du Fu who were sitting on the left and right, these two people were recommended to him by Qin Jin. At first, Li Heng only gave it a try with the attitude of giving it a try, but it was hard to predict that the two of them would be so down-to-earth and willing to work. Regardless of the skills of these two people, this diligence alone is ten times and a hundred times stronger than those who only know how to speak loudly.
This was the first completely autonomous errand given to Li Heng by the Son of Heaven, of course he didn't want to mess up, and with two officials who were so dedicated to assist him, he gradually relaxed his heart. What's even more rare is that both Wei Du are from famous families.
Wei Ji's father was the prime minister Wei Sili, and Du Fu's grandfather was also a famous minister of the Gaozong Dynasty. The backgrounds of these two people can be called perfect, and if they are used, they will not provoke the criticism of the Qingliu people in the DPRK and China, and their own obstacles will naturally be much less.
If it is an official from a poor family, it will obviously be a lot of trouble.
In view of this, Li Heng only briefly inquired about the progress of the construction period, and then said no more, for nearly half an hour, half of them were talking seemingly inconsequential gossip.
Wei Ji and Du Fu naturally did not dare to hide the contradictions on the construction site, and the two of them briefly told it with reservations, and Li Heng listened attentively, and also appreciated Qin Jin's methods of controlling the soldiers.
You must know that most of the soldiers in the Shenwu Army are from the sons of the nobles and powerful, and they can be driven to be willing to do the cheap labor that only the people and strong men do.
Wei Du and the others left the Jingfeng Gate of the Imperial City, bypassed the streets of Chongrenfang and Shengyefang, and prepared to turn south to the construction site between Anyi Fang and Xuanping Fang. But suddenly I saw two luxurious four-horse chariots galloping in the direction of Xingqing Palace.
Wei Ji was surprised: "How did Princess Huo and Princess Changshan go to Nannei together?"
In sensitive times, these abnormal events can always affect people's sensitive nerves.
Seeing Wei Ji's worried look, Du Fu said: "No matter how anxious the carriages and horses of the two princesses are, how can they be related to state affairs? Brother Wei is too worried!"
Wei Ji raised his hand and patted his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "What Brother Zimei said is very true, and it is also that there have been many things that have happened in the past few days, and his brain is too sensitive and suspicious. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then beat Manan together.
The eldest princess of Huo Guo and the princess of Changshan did meet again, and the important event was to meet Li Longji, the son of heaven.
The aunt and nephew came together, and they met Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty who was about to wake up from a nap, very smoothly.
Coincidentally, the protagonist of today's talk is also by Li Longji's side.
"The insect girl is getting better and better!
The eldest princess of the Huo Kingdom praised two sentences in a row, and the insect girl lowered her head very embarrassed.
Li Longji was in a very good mood, and he didn't know if he had a sweet dream from the nap just now, and he was smiling very much.
"Huo Guo Mokua went to the sky......"
"Brother is different, the insect girl is dignified and virtuous, where can I use my sister to praise me?"
Although Li Longji has never liked insect girls, he still responded happily:
"Ah Mei's wonderful mouth is like smearing honey. ”
Li Longji and Princess Huo have always had a good relationship with their brother and sister, and the two talk very casually. And Princess Changshan, who followed behind Princess Huo Guochang, did not dare to have a trace of words and deeds. After all, she is Li Longji's daughter, and she has only awe for this father who was born cold, but has no family affection.
After laughing for a while, Li Longji slowly asked, "Say, what is the important matter for the two of you to come to Nannei together?"
The eldest princess of Huo replied: "Brother is still like a god, and there is indeed something important, but it is not Ah Mei and Chang Shan's. ”
Between the words, her eyes glanced at the insect girl.
Li Longji is so smart, he will immediately understand one or two, but he is not in a hurry to ask questions, he only pretends to be confused.
"Don't sell it, if you have something to say, as long as it doesn't involve the importance of the militaristic state, you will be allowed to do it. ”
The eldest princess of the Huo Kingdom sighed twice, "It seems that Ah Mei has always only begged Ah Ge for something, but this time it is not, Ah Mei wants to do a good thing for Ah Ge." ”
The brother and sister sold each other, not to mention what it was for, the insect girl beside Li Longji opened her eyes as wide as water, felt very interesting, and asked curiously: "What is my aunt doing?"
Concentrate:
Qingliu: Different from the concept after the Song Dynasty, the Qingliu of the Tang Dynasty refers to officials from a family of gate valves, and the turbidity corresponding to Qingliu refers to officials from a cold family.
Nannei: During the reign of Xuanzong, Xingqing Palace was also known as Nannei.
