Chapter 172: Deputy Envoy of Jiedu (1)
The fifth day of the first month.
Li Xun had just finished lunch, leaning lazily on the chair, picking out his teeth while looking at the letter in his hand.
The letter was sent by Sima Tu, and after Wang Qili's matter came to an end, he returned to his hometown in Shudi.
Sima Tu's ancestral home is Mianzhou, Jiannan Province, in the generation of his great-grandfather, transferred to Langzhou as an official, this is done for decades, and the position is no longer transferred, so Sima Tu's great-grandfather lineage, also settled down in Langzhou, developed and reproduced, decades have passed, living is not bad, and it is also a well-known family in the local area, but unfortunately twenty years ago, Tubo took advantage of the weakness of the Jin Dynasty, a large-scale attack, in one fell swoop to break through the city of Langzhou, the lives were devastated, countless casualties, Sima Tu's whole family of more than 50 people, except for himself, none of them were spared, All killed.
Sima Tu wrote in the letter that he had recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and because he had been a jinshi, he was recommended by the elders of the family to be a small official in the local county government, and for this reason, he asked Li Xun's opinion.
Li Xun put down the letter and shook his head, the unexpected encounter with Sima Tu, and the conversation about the entire desert situation, Li Xun felt that Sima Tu was a very strategic and talented person, and he planned to stay by his side at first, but unfortunately Sima Tu obviously had his own ideas, he wrote this letter to himself, saying that it was to ask for his own opinion, in fact, from Sima Tu's heart, I am afraid that he has already made a decision, and he has to let him stay by his side to do things, but it is a little difficult for a strong man.
Fan Zhongyun once said that Sima Tu has a very strong sense of power, and because of the twenty years of indifferent tribulations, he has become very timid and cares for his life very much, from the bright side, following Li Xun is obviously a very promising thing, but since returning to the Central Plains, Sima Tu has always maintained a certain distance from Li Xun, if he is about to leave, it can be seen from this point that he just wants to take a regular official career, no matter whether the official is big or small, at least he is very comfortable and can live a plain life. Following Li Xun is different, it will be involved in a political storm, once he fails, he will definitely be implicated, his life is not guaranteed, Sima Tu has lived a frightened life in Momeng for more than 20 years, he doesn't want to live such a life anymore.
"If you have a personality, let him go!"
Li Xun sighed, didn't say anything whining, and in his heart, he wasn't angry with Sima Tu, after all, he saved him that day, but he just felt that this person was very talented and insightful, and staying by his side might be able to help him, not really trying to do anything for him, now that he has his own ideas, Li Xun feels that there is no need to force it, and it is fate to get acquainted, and everyone can be friends in the future.
"Send someone to return the letter to Sima Tu, let him stay in his hometown and do things with peace of mind, if there is anything you need my help with in the future, just ask."
Jiang Daxiong took the letter, pursed his lips, and muttered: "This person really has no conscience, the boss shouldn't have brought him back in the first place, the whole white-eyed wolf." ”
Li Xun glared at Jiang Daxiong: "They are all friends, don't talk about this." ”
Jiang Daxiong nodded and stopped complaining.
Li Xun got up and walked out of the living room, today he had an appointment with a beautiful woman, Chen Shishi asked himself and Shan Qiu, Mao Anfu and others to go to the suburban villa to play and have dinner together.
"Young master, there is a person named Zhao Wei who is visiting."
As soon as Li Xun walked out of the living room, Da Hei trotted over.
Li Xun was stunned, Zhao Wei? I don't have any image of myself.
Da Hei saw that Li Xun was stunned, so he added in a whisper: "This person said that he came from Longyou." ”
Tubo general, Zhao Wei?
Li Xun suddenly realized, it turned out to be him, he was no longer staying in Longyou, why did he come to Fengjing?
"Ask him to come in... Forget it, I'd better go out and meet him! ”
When I went out of the gate, I saw a familiar face, it was the Tubo general with Han blood, and the Tubo general Zhao Wei who stayed in Liangzhou.
Zhao Wei's whole person looks quite down, this kind of downfall, not that he looks sloppy and chaotic, but refers to his mental outlook, such a battle-hardened general, but the whole person looks quite sluggish.
"General Zhao, it's really you, when did you come back?"
Li Xun hurriedly greeted him.
Zhao Wei looked at Li Xun and said silently, "It's been more than a month since I came back. ”
Li Xun was quite surprised, he had been back for more than a month, and he hadn't heard the slightest rumor.
Zhao Wei saw Li Xun's doubts and said: "I was summoned back to Fengjing by the secretary of the Ministry of War, saying that the emperor wanted to summon me, but..."
But more than a month has passed, Zhao Wei has been cold there, the military department cares about him eating, drinking and lodging, but no one pays attention to him, seeing that other people's families are happy and happy to reunite with a large family for the New Year, but he is single, and Zhao Wei, who has been low-key and does not go out, couldn't help but find someone to inquire about Li Xun's residence today, and found it.
Li Xun didn't know what to say, after all, the two were not very familiar with each other, and they could be regarded as friends, so he had to comfort him: "A lot of things have happened in Fengjing recently, you should have heard about it, the emperor must be very busy, and after a while, he will summon you." ”
Zhao Zhi definitely didn't deliberately put Zhao Wei there on purpose, no matter what Zhao Wei had done before, but after all, he surrendered as an enemy general, whether it was to show others, or fake benevolence, Zhao Zhi would never kill Zhao Wei, kill him, who will surrender in the future? Li Xun is sure that no matter how bad Zhao Zhi's impression of Zhao Wei is, he will not treat him badly, but it is very likely that he will give Zhao Wei a big official, of course, it is difficult to say whether this big official has the right or not.
Zhao Wei nodded and said silently: "Li Xun, the two of us will find a place to have a drink!" ”
Zhao Wei has no friends in Fengjing, and he doesn't know anyone, and he has only had a few encounters with Li Xun, but he can see that Li Xun has a very approachable personality and is very cheerful, so he boldly came over today, wanting to pull Li Xun to drink and talk together to relieve the depression in his heart.
"Find me for a drink, of course no problem."
Li Xun smiled: "It's also a coincidence, I happened to have dinner and drinks with my friends today, General Zhao, you can go with me!" ”
Zhao Wei shook his head: "Those are your friends, I don't know them, I still won't go, I'll come to you another day." ”
"It's Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu, when you were in Liangzhou, you didn't see it, everyone is a member of the military, where are you so polite, go for a walk, and drink with me."
Li Xun pulled Zhao Wei and left.
Zhao Wei smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Li Xun's personality to be so straightforward, seeing him so warm and polite, how could he refuse, he could only follow along.
