127 127: Rising to the Top(8)
In fact, this is also Li Chen's first letter to Song Jing, how to handle it, there is not much sense of proportion in his heart. In the past, when her father and mother went out somewhere, in order to avoid her being a follower, she would promise to write a letter to her, and she would also write a letter to her parents, but most of the letters were made by her and her parents, asking her parents to bring her something delicious and fun.
Now I write a letter to Song Jing, probably because the princess thinks that it is not very good for her to have an underground lover outside, although in her case, what is wrong with even multiple underground lovers? Can Song Jing manage it? But since they are already husband and wife, there is no need to divide any dignity, Li Chen thinks that he will at least report to Song Jing about what he has done recently before he comes back, so as to save him from being smashed by the overwhelming gossip after he returns to Chang'an.
But it is probably that Li Chen's specialty is not to appease people, so in the letter she sent to Song Jing, she first told Song Jing what she had done recently, and entered the palace to ask An Father to be in good health, and everything was fine when she went to Princess Taiping's mansion...... It is the British Gong Li Jingye.
At the back of the letter, the princess also listed some things, probably saying that she was worried that the horse would not be suitable in Luoyang, and that there might be an epidemic in Luoyang, so she sent some daily necessities and some pills, and of course, she didn't know how to conjure up an epidemic prevention precautions that I didn't know where to collect.
Although the princess's concern was very sincere, the colt felt that it was all because of the princess's weak heart, which is why she was so eager to send so many things.
On the surface, the horse who is immovable, in fact, has long been laughed at by the princess's family letter in his heart.
When he stuffed the family letter back to the letter, he couldn't handle everything and rushed back to Chang'an immediately.
also said that as long as she was in Chang'an, she would not let him be distracted. Song Jing felt that the princess was too good at talking nonsense with her eyes open, and before he went out, she was still worried about whether Li Jingye should marry a wife, and after she went out, she asked Li Jingye to escort her to Buxian Garden?
The colt sat down in his chair and closed his eyes a little tiredly.
I've been running around Luoyang for a while, and everyone else thinks that the Yushitai supervision and disaster relief is just a formality, swaggering, and then walking around and making a look. But how can it be that simple?
If everyone in the Imperial Observatory is like that, how can the local disaster be faithfully transmitted back to the central government?
When the politics were clear, there were still people who had a vegetarian meal, not to mention the natural disasters in the eastern capital, naturally some people were fishing in troubled waters, after Song Jing arrived in Luoyang, in order to facilitate the dispatch of materials and manpower, he set up a group with the Luoyang Thorn History who presided over the disaster relief to lead the work.
In Luoyang's mansion, the room where the disaster relief team worked was brightly lit even at night, and when Xiaowen pushed the door in, it was already a watch, and Song Jing was leaning on the back of the chair, frowning slightly.
Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, thinking about whether to wake him up. Outside the door, it was the Luoyang County Order, who said that he had come to discuss things with Song Jing. At this very time, no one has a normal schedule, and the Luoyang County Commander has also been running around for a day, and now he has time, and when he sees that the lights in the house are still on, he will come over for a walk.
Xiaowen thought about it, after his master arrived in Luoyang, he hadn't slept peacefully, and although he was just asleep like this now, it was better to sleep than not to sleep, so he didn't want to alarm him.
Xiaowen hesitated slightly, then took a coat and draped it over him.
At this time, Song Jing was probably still thinking about the princess's family letter when he was resting, and when he was half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly saw the scene of Li Jingye and the princess snuggling up to each other in the Buxian Garden, and his heart was murderous, so Xiaowen's actions immediately alarmed him.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw that the usually gentle and elegant horse had a fierce look in his eyes, Xiaowen had never seen his calm and calm master so cold, and he was so shocked that the coat in his hand fell to the ground.
"Saburo?"
Song Jing was completely awake at this time, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "What?" โ
Xiaowen came back to his senses and said, "Yang County Ling said that he wanted to discuss something with you. โ
Song Jing was slightly stunned, then sat up straight, poured himself a cup of tea that had already cooled down, and drank it all, "Please." โ
Yang County, who was introduced into the house by Xiaowen, sat down opposite Song Jing and said, "Song Yushi said yesterday that someone wanted to take advantage of the Luoyang Rebellion to empty the granary, and it must be investigated immediately and severely punished. I thought about it and thought it was inappropriate. โ
Song Jing: "What's wrong?" โ
Yang County Order: "But in this way, Luoyang was affected by the disaster, and the people were displaced, and there were already complaints, Song Yushi's move, didn't it tell the people of Luoyang, saying that there were people in the government who were full of private pockets?" In this case, where is the face and prestige of the government? Will the people still believe us? Is it better to deal with this matter after all things in Luoyang are rectified? โ
Song Jing glanced at him coldly and asked rhetorically: "Yang County Ling doesn't think that letting the corpses of the people below eat vegetarian meals is very dignified and prestigious?" โ
Yang County Ling was choked by Song Jing's words. Speaking of which, Luoyang County Order, as the Eastern Capital, is not the first political center, but the Tang Dynasty uses the double capital system, and Luoyang's county order status is also very important, which is equivalent to the general level of Chang'an and Wannian County Order, and it is on the top five products. The level of Luoyang County Order is higher than that of Song Jing, but Song Jing is a person from Yushitai, and the central officials are directly responsible to the emperor, and no one can afford to offend the people of Yushitai, otherwise people will find fault full-time, and the eggs will not be able to withstand the picking, not to mention that they are local officials in the first place.
Yang County Order: "I am only worried that now that the whole body is affected, the people are displaced and homeless, and there is already resentment, and if such things happen in the county government at this time, it will cause the people to become more and more dissatisfied." โ
Song Jing smiled when he heard this: "Yang County, please rest assured, natural disasters, now that someone is fishing in troubled waters, you will selflessly pull people out and punish them severely, which will only benefit your reputation." Moreover, in the process of dealing with the Yang County Order, although it was a big fanfare, it was forbidden for anyone to take advantage of the fire to rob, and if anyone violated the order, they would be punished, and it would play a role in killing chickens and setting an example. Jing had heard yesterday that in Luoyang City, there were grain merchants who took the opportunity to raise prices, and if Yang County ordered that it would be inappropriate for him to come forward, then Jing would write an excerpt and report it to the imperial court. โ
The implication is that if you don't do it, then I'll do it.
Yang County Order: "But in this way, aren't you afraid that grain merchants will gather to make trouble?" "If you are good and dignified, you are in the way of other people's wealth, how can others be so easily willing?
When Song Jing heard this, he smiled coldly: "The idea was made by Jing, Jing is not afraid, what is Yang Xianling afraid of?" Could it be that there is someone behind the grain merchants in Luoyang, so that Yang County Ling does not dare to offend? โ
Yang Tingshi was made cold by Song Jing's merciless words, and the cold sweat was almost left, "Song Yushi's words can't be nonsense, it's just for the sake of the overall situation, if the grain merchants report a mess, now the customs are full of disasters, but relying on the Luoyang granary, it may not be able to survive this crisis." At that time, starvation will be everywhere, but Song Yushi can be responsible for this? โ
Song Jing turned his head sideways and glanced at him lightly, "Could it be that Yang County Ling forgot that in the early years, the โกโก of Guannei, the filial piety emperor who had not died back then was still the crown prince, did he do it?" โ
Yang County Ling was stunned.
Song Jing: "Tomorrow, Yang County will take an army to the grain merchant to buy grain." Don't lower the price, according to their usual price, if they don't want to, you can give them an extra 10% of the price, so that they can sell all the grain to the court. โ
Yang County Order: "......" doesn't that make it clear that if you don't sell it, you will grab it?
Song Jing also said: "If the Luoyang treasury is not enough, give them an IOU, as long as the IOU clearly states when it can be paid off." โ
Yang County Order: "Song Yushi's move...... Is there something wrong? "He has not seen the state give IOUs to the people.
Song Jing glanced at Yang Tingshi very inexplicably and asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the Luoyang County Ya will repay the debt in the future? โ
Yang Xianling sweated silently, he found that the upstart Song Jing in front of him was soft and hard, and sometimes the words he said were so sharp that they could make people choke to death. His approach, while absurd, is not impossible. After all, no matter how big a merchant is, he can't be an official, and now that I buy your grain at a fair price, there is no reason why you should not sell it.
And the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, but all grain merchants must have the support of forces behind them, and at this time, if the government has a tough attitude, they have nothing to do. Otherwise, in the future, when the government has recovered its strength, they will go to find some small troubles for them every once in a while, which will be enough for them to be disgusting.
It's just that...... Yang County Ling felt that a person who was an official, how could he be so rampage and not give face to anyone?
But Song Jing, the servant in front of him, is so unkind. Yang Tingshi was also afraid that Song Yushi would not be happy, so he really wrote an excerpt directly to the sage, and then the problem would not only be a headache now...... Yang Xianling felt that during his reign, the flooding of Luoshui was unlucky enough, who knew that he would encounter a Song Yushi who was more serious about everything, and it would be even more bad luck for eight lifetimes.
But he can't fight Song Jing to the death, he is now a celebrity in front of the saint and Her Royal Highness the Queen, and he is the concubine of Princess Yongchang, so Yang County Ling can only admit it and follow Song Jing's advice.
Song Jing looked at Yang Xianling, who was walking away, closed his eyes, and felt that his head was actually a little cloudy.
Xiaowen, who had been waiting outside the house, saw that Yang Xianling was gone, so he walked in, and as soon as he came in, he saw Song Jing's very tired appearance, and couldn't help but remind: "San Lang, why don't you go and rest?" Yesterday, the person sent by the princess also told me, let me make sure that you take care of your health, so that the princess can rest assured. โ
Xiaowen didn't say anything, but when he talked about the princess, Song Jing's face turned dark again.
Seeing that Xiaowen was terrified, what the hell is going on? In addition to sending a letter to the family, the princess also sent a lot of pills to come, I heard that they are all too good treasures, the princess should be very happy to be so concerned about the master, but why is it that the master of her own family is blackface when she hears the princess?
Song Jing's feelings for Li Chen have always been targeted. He has always known very well that unless Li Chen trusts him completely and completely hands himself over to him, he is just a chess piece to Li Chen.
But even if it is a chess piece, they also have the name of husband and wife, and she is quite active in the relationship between the two, at least they can feel each other, even if for both parties, they are still insignificant, but they are trying to accept and tolerate, and they are also trying to touch each other's hearts.
Song Jing felt as if he was blinded by months of peace and happiness, he did have strange feelings for Li Chen, and even had a little greed and wanted to catch her.
But he forgot that no matter how approachable she was, no matter how happy she was to integrate with him, she was still the princess who grew up in the deep palace since she was a child.
The twists and turns in her heart were incomprehensible to him.
After he entered the imperial court as an official, many people around him were Xungui, including Zhou Jitong, who was also the eldest princess's son-in-law. These people are born in a high-walled compound, and there is never less strife in it.
But he had heard of those strife, but he had never experienced them. Even so, they know that the surface scenery of the noble house is actually dirty. The emperor's harem, even more so, although Li Chen was deeply loved and grew up, but as far as her eyes could see, it was a completely different side from him.
She didn't say anything in her family letter, she just asked Li Jingye to escort her to Buxian Garden. Song Jing also believed that Li Chen didn't have any thoughts, if he had, why write a letter to him, and made a series of moves to make up for it, and sent so many things over.
But Song Jing also began to understand that Li Chen was destined to be in the whirlpool of political struggle.
And he, as her colt, may be just a pawn of hers. And she is in the game, and she definitely needs more than one chess piece, so she went to Buxian Garden with Li Jingye.
But Song Jing couldn't figure out what she wanted with this move?
He stood up, rubbed his forehead, and slowly walked out of the house, there was a bright moon hanging in the purple-black sky, the bright moon was bright, under the same bright moon, some people laughed and some were sad, some people slept peacefully on the couch and some people were displaced.
Since this is the case, what does it matter if the chess pieces are not chess pieces?
His original intention remained the same, and the princess let her go as she wanted.
The affairs of the heavenly family are not something that a mere Song Jing can meddle in.
The man with his hands behind his back stood on the corridor, looking worldly and independent.
Song Jing thought: I think too much, and the top priority is to finish the matter at hand first.
However, the day after the colt felt that he was thinking too much, another letter came from the princess's mansion. The princess probably felt that her first letter was a little vague, and although the second letter to her family could not be said to be straightforward, she always wrote about her daily life in the garden of envy, and then wrote that the osmanthus in the princess's mansion seemed to be about to bloom, and then she asked the concubine-
I don't know when the osmanthus flowering period, Guangping can be in Chang'an. If you are in Chang'an, I will make a Mid-Autumn Festival appointment with you to enjoy the moon and drink.
In view of the fact that Li Chen's previous letter to his family was really quite annoying, when Song Jing received the letter from the princess's mansion, he didn't think too much about it, and took the letter with a straight face, thinking that I would like to see if you have anything else that makes me angry. Who knew that when the letter was opened, it was a letter from the princess who wanted to make a Mid-Autumn Festival appointment with him.
The horse was stunned for a moment, and then the condensed facial features instantly softened the lines, like a spring breeze and rain, and the officials around him were stunned.
Just when the horse was running around in Luoyang and dealing with all the things in Luoyang, Li Chen, who was in Chang'an, was in the princess's mansion, listening to the person who had just returned from Luoyang to report the situation to her, "The horse is very busy, when I went to Luoyang, I was met by Xiaowen next to the horse, and I didn't see the horse." โ
Li Chen was stunned, didn't you see it?
Li Chen looked at the dusty guards and asked, "Does the horse have a letter to me?" โ
When the guard heard this, he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Li Chen, Li Chen took it and weighed it with his hand, it seemed to be very thin?
She smiled and said to the guard, "You have worked hard all the way, go and receive the reward." โ
"Thank you, princess."
When the guards walked away, Li Chen raised the envelope in his hand, very curious about what Song Jing would say to her. After all, she sent the letter to her family first, and she was a little weak-hearted. Even if she really didn't have anything to say to Song Jing, the rumors outside were already very unpleasant, and as soon as he came back, he had to face the rumors, and Li Chen was very sorry in his heart.
The first time he received Song Jing's family letter, Li Chen was a little excited, and he was faintly looking forward to it like Song Jing who opened the family letter, but when the princess opened the envelope, her pretty face turned red.
Because there was no word on the letter sent back by Song Jing, there was a painting.
In the painting, a man stands under a red bean tree, he looks up at the sky, but there are red beans falling under his feet.
Li Chen: "......"
Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely.
Although Wang Wei didn't know where he was at this time, Li Chen couldn't help but think of this famous poem that had not yet been published.
It turns out that Song Jing is also so flirtatious, and her girlish heart is about to be touched by him!
