Chapter 80: Fortune and Misfortune (I)
"Bi Long is preparing to take advantage of his old age to be a lonely minister!" In the afternoon of the same day, after listening to Zhang Qian's relay, Zhang Ruoxu held the table with his hand, shook his head and sighed.
"Lonely? Uncle Shi means that he can't find a single supporter in the court? Zhang Qian didn't seem to understand, blinked a pair of blank eyes, and asked in a low voice.
When it comes to politics, he is a pure layman. And Guo Nu and Ren Cong are limited by age and experience, and they can't say that they are tall. Therefore, at noon, the three brothers discussed and discussed, and in the end, Zhang Qian could only come out and ask for help from Zhang Ruoxu, an old-timer.
And although Zhang Ruoxu has resigned and lived in idleness at present, his experience and vision are far from being comparable to those of several young people. Seeing that Zhang Qian didn't seem to understand what he meant, he sighed again and added faintly: "Not counting before, just from this spring to now, from General Wei, Princess Anle and Shangguan Jieyu, the official positions sold are probably thousands. Those who bought officials spent money, don't they just try to make up for the real shortcomings, and double them in the future? Bi Long's choice of this fire will pass, which is equivalent to cutting off the financial routes and futures of many people? ! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is not the same hatred of Dai Tian! And General Wei, Princess An Le and Shangguan Jieyu, how can they not hate them to the core? Therefore, whether the Holy One finally accepted his advice or not, he put himself in the position of public criticism. Alas, he's probably not sitting in the position of serving the imperial history, so he has to give it to someone else! ”
"This? Alas-" Zhang Qian listened, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Not only because of his plan to buy an official to protect himself, but before he could achieve it, he suffered a slap in the face, but also for the bleak end that Bi Gou was about to face.
In his heart, he is not familiar with Bi Gou, and he doesn't care much about the other party's appreciation of him. However, under the influence of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture, from the bones, he has a respect for Qing officials and those who dare to ask for their lives for the people.
According to what little he knows about Bi Gou, this person seems to have been degraded for many years, and only recently returned to Chang'an to report on his work because of the expiration of his term. As a result, this person did not cherish the opportunity given by the imperial court again, and on the first day of serving as the imperial historian, he gambled his own life and future, and aimed the spearhead at the behavior of the imperial court's traitors, and tried to rely on his own strength to bring the selection and assessment of officials in the Tang Dynasty back on the right track!
Such a feat, I am afraid that Lin Zexu will sacrifice his life to destroy opium in later generations, and some of them will fight. "*******, don't you avoid it because of good and evil." Zhang Qian asked himself if he didn't have the same courage, however, it didn't prevent him from paying the highest respect to the warriors!
"Yong Zhao is worried about his future?" Hearing Zhang Qian's sigh was very heavy, Zhang Ruoxu thought that he was depressed because he was not sick for the sake of throwing the papers. Glancing at him, he hesitated to ask.
"Uncle Shi misunderstood!" Zhang Qian's face was hot when he was asked, and he hurriedly explained: "The younger generation is not good at poetry, and I didn't expect that article to enter the eyes of Longweng's predecessors. The juniors are just worried about whether Long Weng's life will be threatened. He offended so many people at once, and, and ......"
Quickly lowered his voice, and with a little hesitation, he quickly added, "And the main offense is General Wei." ”
"Long Weng has always been honest as an official, as long as he is in office, he has not been caught. If others want to punish him with a capital crime, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Hearing that Zhang Qian was not sighing for his own future, Zhang Ruoxu was suddenly relieved. After thinking about it, he analyzed it very seriously: "After all, after all, today's saint is wise and powerful, even if he trusts General Wei again, he understands that Long Weng's move is not selfish. And in the court, some people can't cover the sky with one hand! ”
"So, the worry about his life, Long Weng doesn't have it for the time being!" After a pause, he shook his head with a wry smile, "However, being degraded thousands of miles away is probably an inevitable ending." Last time, it was the history of the assassin in Xiazhou, this time, I'm afraid the history of the assassin can't be done, there are individual drivers, Sima and the like, it's lucky! ”
"Oh! That's a lot of worry for the younger generations! I just don't know how much Sima's year is? Long Weng, his old man is not enough! Zhang Qian nodded stunnedly, and then began to put himself in Bi Gou's shoes and worry about his life after the debasement.
"Long Weng's grandfather is a don't drive in Gunzhou, his father was a guard lieutenant Shaoqing, and he himself was a jinshi in his early twenties, and he has been up and down in the sea for many years until now." Zhang Ruo glanced at him blankly, and counted angrily, "Do you think that everyone is like you, you are penniless from the mountain, and you have to make a living by making those six god flower dew!" ”
"I don't plan to do this, if Long Weng and his old man are having a hard time, I want to find a way not to embarrass him and help him?" Zhang Qian was embarrassed to be counted, and scratched his head with a smile.
"You're a man of conscience. It's not in vain that he once tried to recommend you to the company! Zhang Ruoxu rolled his eyes, and his words quickly changed from counting to praise, "However, let's take care of yourself first!" You are now famous, and you have a treasure like the Six Gods Flower Dew hidden in your home, and if you are recommended by Long Weng to join the office, you can reduce a lot of prying eyes. If it's still a white ding, I'm afraid I won't have to trouble coming to the door in the future. Although the Baoguo Mansion is a big tree, you are too far away from the trunk after all. ”
This is obviously really taking Zhang Qian as his own nephew, which is why he said it so directly. After Zhang Qian heard this, he was greatly moved in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down to salute, "Thank you Uncle Shi for reminding him!" After the juniors returned, they packed their bags and went to the mountains to collect medicine. When will it be forgotten by the world, and when will it come out again! ”
This was the first countermeasure he thought of after hearing that there was no hope of buying an official at noon. It directly borrowed from the practices of some CEOs of listed companies in later generations, but it is not sure whether it is feasible to get the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century.
"It works. You, the main owner, are not here, and others can't just seal your family's Liushen Flower Dew workshop for no reason. And Guo Nu and Ren Cong, the two little guys, rely on their respective fathers, and they are more than enough to protect themselves. After listening to Zhang Qian's countermeasures, Zhang Ruoxu frowned, smiled and nodded, "The old man originally wanted to remind you a few days ago, but it really didn't work, so I went to buy a false job and took it first." Being troubled by Long Weng, Shangguan Jieyu and others will definitely be more restrained, and the road of buying an official will definitely not work in a short period of time. Therefore, it is better for you to go out and hide, and when your alcohol and disinfection secret methods attract the attention of the saint or a pillar minister in the army, if you come out again, it will definitely be a different situation! ”
"Hmmm! Since Uncle Shi also agrees with the younger generation to go into the mountain to collect medicine, the younger generation will go back today to clean up and set off tomorrow morning! Seeing that Zhang Ruoxu's judgment of the world coincided with his own, Zhang Qian felt more and more that there were many dangers around him. He smiled and made a decisive decision.
"Go, alas-" Zhang Ruoxu raised his hand and put it down softly, and in an instant, he seemed to be several years older. "In this world, if you don't become an official, you may be living a happier life. The old man is different from Ji Weng, who has read sage books all his life, always thinking of waiting for the opportunity to serve the country. And the old man hopes that the younger generations around him can live more comfortably and happily. ”
"Then, the juniors will go back and prepare first!" Zhang Qian's heart is also empty, and it is not a taste of good life. Qiang smiled and stood up straight, saying goodbye to Zhang Ruoxu.
Zhang Ruoxu himself seems to have encountered something difficult recently, so he is not in the mood to leave him for supper. He stood up and put on a coat to send him out.
Along the way, seeing the chrysanthemums in the house, wilting and bald, the old man couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Just for the flowers to bloom late, you can't report the spring breeze." With the first song of Zhao on the day of the chrysanthemum, although the artistic conception is a little decadent, it is actually in line with the situation. In these years, it is not that the spring breeze cannot be reported, but that the spring breeze cannot blow. Forget it, the cold and heat in the world have their own fixed numbers, how can plants and trees and people interfere? ! Let's go, take advantage of the crisp autumn weather, you can walk around, maybe there is a scenery in the mountains! ”
"Uncle Shi, take care too!" Although they haven't known each other for a long time, it's rare for someone to truly regard themselves as juniors. Therefore, at the time of parting, Zhang Qian's heart also swelled with a little reluctance. "Uncle Shi will be short of wine in the future, even if he sends someone to get it from the younger generation's Zhuangzi, the younger generation will arrange for someone to prepare it at any time. But you must not drink too much, although the wine relieves your worries, drinking too much will hurt your body after all......"
was about to say a few more words, but when he saw Ren Cong's figure, suddenly accompanied by the steward of Zhang's mansion, he rushed in at the door.
didn't bother to give Zhang Ruoxu a salute, and when he saw Zhang Qian, the latter immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Senior brother, senior brother, go back quickly." The second senior brother got into a fight with others. If you don't go back, I'm afraid that once he can't stop it, he will definitely get into big trouble! ”
