Chapter 112: Cold Face (Shouting for Support of Monthly Passes)
Once born, second ripe, under the recommendation of Wang Hongjiang, in just over half an hour, Li Zhongyi got to know more than a dozen first-class petty officials in various counties in the suburbs of Beijing. ``
These people are not the chief officials, except for the county lieutenant and the county officer, who are the chief bookkeepers. There are also two Jinling of Linxian Ferry, and Li Zhongyi is a peer.
Everyone sat in the gazebo, chatting quietly while waiting for the Shangguan inside to summon them.
However, after sitting for more than two hours, Wang Hongjiang and the others were gone, and Li Zhongyi was still struggling in the pavilion.
Whenever there is a big event, there is calm, which has always been Li Zhongyi's motto, even if everyone is gone, he always waits patiently without hurry.
In his previous life, in addition to liking opera, Li Zhongyi's favorite documentary was the animal world, which was changed to man and nature.
In the animal world, Li Zhongyi admires the African poisonous spider the most, this animal is not good at maneuvering, but it is the best at slowly forming webs and waiting patiently.
After moths and other insects fall into the net, the African poisonous spider sees the opportunity and pounces on it to kill with one blow, without ambiguity.
Wang Hongjiang originally sent his subordinates to guard outside the palace and wait for Li Zhongyi to come out. However, left and right, Li Zhongyi was never seen.
So, Wang Hongjiang immediately realized that Zan Jurun, the prefect, had an opinion on Li Zhongyi and deliberately hung him.
It was almost dark, and Zan Jurun never met Li Zhongyi. Li Zhongyi was still sitting in the gazebo, pondering in his mind the question of how to expand the tax source in Xiaoyaojin.
Li Zhongyi understood in his heart that the reason why Zan Jurun wanted to show him his face. I'm afraid it's because I look down on his status as a second minister, right?
Hehe, if Lao Tzu doesn't sabotage, it will be another three and a half years. When Chai Rong died, Zhao Lao Er became the Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, aren't you Zan Jurun the same as Lao Tzu, and you have become the second minister?
Li Zhongyi automatically ignored it, and when that time came, he would not be the 2nd minister, but the 3rd minister. Hey!
Of course, when the Northern Song Dynasty replaced the Later Zhou, there were also hard bones. The Han Tong who doesn't want to be a 2 minister. His entire family, old and young, was slaughtered by Wang Yansheng.
"Li Jinling, Gong Zan ordered you to come in." When it was dark, an errand officer of a government office. ran over and asked Li Zhongyi to go in.
Li Zhongyi slowly stood up. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, Lao Tzu expected that you would definitely see me today, so you just didn't leave.
When a new official takes office, there is always a honeymoon period, right? In other words, Li Zhongyi has not yet started to officially run errands, and it is impossible to find fault with official affairs, and Zan Jurun will at most rely on his official authority to embarrass him.
Li Zhongyi followed behind the errand officer. Walking into the spacious back office, I saw an old man in a purple robe sitting on it. He bowed and said, "Xiaguan Li Zhongyi pays a visit to Duke Zhan." ”
"Excuse me." Zan Jurun flicked his hand disdainfully, "Since you have already voted for me in Da Zhou, you should do your best, don't be half-hearted and distracting, understand?" ”
Li Zhongyi had expected that Zan Jurun would speak ill words, his cultivation had already reached home, how could he be so angry that he would be angry about trivial matters?
Besides, Li Zhongyi has invested in Da Zhou, and he has not made an inch, what capital dare to argue with Chai Rong's close ministers and high-powered top bosses?
This is like a new employee of a state-owned enterprise who reports for the first time, and the department manager in charge of the department counts a few words, do you want to beat him?
"Wow. The lower officials must listen to the teachings of the Duke of Zan, strive to do the errands within their duties, and live up to the vast imperial grace. Li Zhongyi arched his hands and "humbly" accepted Zan Jurun's "guidance".
"Talismans, seals and other things, the old man has already asked people to prepare them for you, just go down and get them." Zan Jurun didn't want to wave his hands in disgust, and wanted to drive Li Zhongyi out.
Li Zhongyi was cheeky and said: "Don't hide it from Gong Zan, the lower officials are very thirsty when they are waiting outside, please give me a cup of tea to moisten my throat." ”
Zan Jurun's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, just a small official, he actually dared to touch his moldy head, didn't he want to die?
"I have a cup of tea here, which I haven't drunk." Zan Ju Runcheng wanted to insult Li Zhongyi, the second minister, so he deliberately pointed to the cup of tea in front of him and asked Li Zhongyi to drink it.
Li Zhongyi arched his hand and smiled: "Xie Zhangong is generous." He walked up to Zan Jurun, picked up the teacup, and pretended to drink it.
"Boom." Li Zhongyi deliberately let go of his hand, and the teacup instantly fell out of his palm, fell to the ground, and shattered.
"You are so big and ...... guts" Zan Jurun was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Li Zhongyi's nose and was furious, but Li Zhongyi didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, turned around and went out.
After leaving Zan Jurun's official hall, Li Zhong easily felt that there were many people sneakily hiding on the side, peeping at the scenery.
Hehe, that's right, that's what you want!
Li Zhongyi looked at the little errand who had just led him in with a smile, and said politely: "Take the subordinate to get the sigil?" ”
"Vertical ...... 2 Minister ...... "Zan Ju in the official office was so angry that he coughed and wheezed unevenly.
The corners of Li Zhongyi's mouth curled slightly, playing the unspoken rules of officialdom with Lao Tzu, you old dog, are still a little tender!
In the face of Zan Jurun's rampant insult, Li Zhongyi simply pulled him into the water together, rather than waiting for Zan Jurun to slowly find a reason to clean him up, it was better to tear his face in advance.
Once, after tearing his face, once the news spreads, no matter what tricks Zan Jurun wants to use to rectify Li Zhongyi, he must take into account the influence of public opinion.
Even if you sue the emperor and kill Chai Rong, you won't believe that Li Zhongyi, the second minister who has not yet taken office, dares to openly smash the cup in front of his boss and vent his dissatisfaction.
Chai Rong could only think that Zan Jurun was narrow-minded, intolerant of people, and had nothing to do.
In the past, Li Zhongyi had no less dealings with this kind of pseudo-Taoism. There is a professor who pretends to be morally noble, but secretly uses his power to deceive ignorant young students.
This is exactly what it is to be a professor during the day and a beast at night.
For this kind of hypocrite, as long as it is committed by Li Zhongyi, he will adopt the method of publicly slapping his face.
This time, Mr. Daoist Zan Jurun became Li Zhongyi's first victim and suffered his dumb loss. There are words of suffering.
In the future, as long as Zan Jurun has a slight unfavorable move against Li Zhongyi, public opinion in the officialdom. Especially his political enemies, there will be something to say.
In fact, according to the logic of officialdom, Zan Jurun's actions are indeed unwise.
At the next level, what I am most afraid of is that the leader obviously hates you in his heart. But he says good things about you everywhere and is unusually affectionate to you in public.
However, once you have the handle, it falls into the hands of the leader. This leader will try his best to put you to death, and you will have nothing to say when you wear small shoes.
This Zan Jurun also made Li Zhongyi angry, anyway, he is just a big fart Jinling, and he is willing not to be an official. Dare to make Zan Jurun's pseudo-Taoism a good reputation. It's stinky.
Hey, hey, see who has the most to lose?
Li Zhongyi is more of a method of getting money, and it is impossible to stretch out his black hand to embezzle. Moreover, these days, as long as you have money, who will care if you have a few concubines, mistresses or outer rooms?
To put it bluntly, this era is really good, and there is no such thing as a problem of work style among leading cadres.
Once you have the sigil in your hand. Li Zhongyi waved his hand at the people in the Grand Office and left Kaifeng Mansion in a dashing manner.
This Kaifeng Mansion is within the government. It's like a sieve turning sand, leaking air everywhere, and there is no way to hide the news.
Not long after Li Zhongyi returned home, the news that Zan Jurun deliberately repaired the 2 ministers and dropped the teacup had already reached Chai Rong's ears.
After someone learned the news, he first shook his head, and then laughed on his back, "This old dog has always cherished feathers, and he has today, haha, happy to die." ”
"Alas, Brother Zan is fallacious, why bother to lose face for the sake of a 2 ministers?"
"I heard ......"
"Did you know ......?"
Good things don't go out, gossip spreads thousands of miles!
Within three days, almost all the officialdom in Beijing knew about Zan Jurun's Taoist style and the gossip news of Yan zhòng's broken work.
Li Zhongyi returned home, but there was no trace of peony and bottle, he secretly wondered in his heart, on weekdays, this should be the time for dinner, where will these two Nizi go?
"Master, are you back?" Xi'er didn't know where to get out of it.
Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed, and he asked her, "Why didn't you see the bottle?" ”
Xi'er's eyes rolled slightly, and she pretended to be shy and said, "If you go back to your master, the slave saw the two of them together just now." ”
Li Zhongyi thought to himself, it is not a matter of a day or two for the bottle and the peony to fight in secret, I am afraid that these two Nizi are hiding in a corner again, bickering, right?
Well, Xi'er said this deliberately, obviously trying to lead him to think in a bad direction, Li Zhongyi sighed secretly, the women in the family are not worried.
As the saying goes, three women in one play! Now, the two concubines and a servant girl in the family are already fighting hard.
Another Fei Meiniang with a strong desire for exclusivity, alas, Li Zhongyi's brain hurts when he thinks of this.
Li Zhongyi didn't feel anything on weekdays, but now that the two concubines were not by his side at the same time, he felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something.
Walking slowly to the pond in the back garden, Li Zhongyi casually found a lawn and sat down.
The house that Murong Yanzhao bought for Li Zhongyi did take a lot of thought, and Li Zhongyi could see that the exquisite lake pavilion in the middle of the fake lake alone was worth a lot of money.
Not only that, Murong Yanzhao also secretly put a few large wooden boxes in the master bedroom of the back house, in addition to the antique jade, it was a full 100,000 copper coins.
Li Zhongyi once again felt glad that he had the idea of connecting with Zhao Lao Er and did not kill Murong Yanzhao, which was really a wise decision.
Li Zhongyi didn't ask for any of the beautiful girls sent by Murong Yanzhao, and they all returned back.
What kind of joke, after the edification of the school flower wife and the peerless Fei Meiniang, with Li Zhongyi's current taste, he can't see the general vulgar fans at all.
To put it mildly, unless he has been "hungry" for a long time, he doesn't even bother to clip his eyelids.
Just when Li Zhongyi was looking at the starry night sky, alone and melancholy, missing his wife and beloved son, suddenly there was a familiar whisper on the path by the bushes. (To be continued!)
ps: The monthly pass is really too few, and it is unusually bleak, and in the long run, it is likely to affect the love of Sikong code words!
