Chapter 440: Wooing
Li Xin had long known that the car had arrived in Chang'an, but he had never arranged a meeting. What he was waiting for was actually Che Guan taking the initiative to come to the door. Therefore, as soon as he received the name from the other party, Li Xin directly asked people to invite him in. As for the meeting place, it was arranged in a side hall.
After Che Guan got permission, he left his entourage to wait outside, and followed the people into the General's Mansion. On the way, he was still constantly looking at everything around him, especially the officials at all levels who had been in the past.
Of course, the most eye-catching are the rooms on both sides of the lobby where the six departments are located. No matter when you look at it, those two places are the most lively places in the entire Great General's Mansion, and there are many people coming and going.
"There were a lot of people coming and going, but they were orderly and there was no confusion. Everyone was in a hurry, but their steps were steady, and there was no sign of the corpse vegetarian. From this point of view, there is indeed a different atmosphere in this Huashan army! After looking at the road, Che Guan had to admit it.
He has been an official in the Jiangzuo court for so many years, and he knows too much about the affairs in the court. Although the Jiangzuo Imperial Court has only been established for decades, due to the style of the Western Jin Dynasty, there are too many people in the court who do not do anything.
If the impression of today's Huashan Army on Che Guan is that of a vigorous young man, then the Jiangzuo Imperial Court is like an old man in the twilight.
Everyone's thoughts and thoughts are not at the same level at all, Huashanjun is constantly thinking about how to strengthen himself, and officials are also thinking about how to do their part every day.
And those officials in the Jiangzuo court, from the princes of the court to the officials in the county government at all levels, are now only studious and talkative, and only take the wind and the moon as beauty. Those who really wanted to do practical things were instead squeezed out of the core of the imperial court.
Of course, Che Guan himself is also one of them. Therefore, although he saw all this in front of him, he would not reflect on what was wrong with the Jiangzuo Imperial Court, but would only think about the purpose of Huashanjun's actions. In the end, when I thought about it, I naturally thought of ambition.
"It seems that the Huashan Army is very ambitious, if it is allowed to develop like this, sooner or later it will become a scourge of the imperial court!" Before entering the side hall, Che Guan had a conclusion in his heart.
"Your Excellency, please, our general is inside!" The man who led the way walked to the door, bowed and said.
Che Guan nodded, and stepped into the door. He is now very curious about what kind of person this Li Xin, who has become famous all over the world in recent years, and he inevitably has some expectations in his heart.
When he entered the side hall, he saw at a glance the seat opposite, and at this time there was a young man sitting on his head, wearing a military crown and no armor on his body, looking at him with a smile at the moment.
"Is this Li Xin? So young! After seeing it, Che Guan couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, and said secretly.
In fact, everyone in the world knows that Li Xin is young, but under the war in recent years, many people have slowly ignored his age. Therefore, even if you have heard about it for a long time, you will inevitably be surprised when you meet for the first time.
"This is Che Sikong! Lord Sikong came from afar, and Li failed to greet him, which is really a violation of etiquette, please forgive me! When the other party looked at himself, Li Xin was also looking at Che Guan, and I have to say that the other party was elegant and good-looking. After looking at it twice, Li Xin stood up and said.
"Don't dare, General Li is busy with official business, how dare this official dare to greet the general in person!" Che Guan hurriedly arched his hand.
The conversation between the two sides felt a bit estranged, because everyone called each other by their own names, and there was no connection at all. Of course, this is also normal, after all, the official systems of Huashan Army and Jiangzuo are originally two systems.
If it is said that the officials of the same regime have to be humbled at this moment. The two of them knew the mystery of this, but no one tried to find out. After all, everyone only meets once, and they may never see each other again in the future, so they can't talk about these useless things.
"Lord Sikong, please be seated! I heard that Lord Sikong entered the customs and wanted to sacrifice for the soldiers who died in the Battle of Chang'an, I wonder if I have prepared things these days? If there is anything that needs our assistance, please feel free to say it, if you can help, Li will do his best! Li Xin stretched out his hand to the right and gestured, and said.
Che Guan looked at the somewhat strange chair on the side, and sat down with some curiosity, but after all, he looked a little uncomfortable. After all, this thing is much higher than the cushions and stools.
Over the years, the Department of Commerce has come up with a lot of new things, many of which were inspired by Li Xin. Generally speaking, these things spread the fastest in various places under the rule of the Huashan Army, and then slowly spread out.
Naturally, those places in Jiangzuo also have these things, but compared to ordinary people, those dignitaries and nobles are not so easy to accept. Especially for some old Confucians who are very self-confident and have to pay attention to the source of allusions in everything, it is even more difficult to accept new things.
Therefore, although Jiang Zuo has these new gadgets, Che Guan has never sat on this kind of chair, so it is inevitable that he will not be adaptable. Li Xin saw it in his eyes, and he treated it as if he didn't see it.
"General Lao Li cares, Chang'an City is extremely prosperous, and everything you need has been purchased in the past two days." The car poured politely.
"That's good! The general is still thinking that if you lack something, I will transfer it to you from the palace! Li Xin nodded and said quite enthusiastically.
"Don't hide it from the general, before this official entered the customs, he did have such worries. After all, Guanzhong has been in constant turmoil for many years, and the prosperous imperial capital of hundreds of years has long since ceased to be what it used to be. Unexpectedly, since entering the pass, everything I saw in front of me was refreshing, and it was clearly a prosperous world in the world. This official is really full of emotion! Che Guan listened, groaned for a while, and then said slowly.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of Sikong-sama's jokes! Everyone in the world knows that our Huashan Army was just a group of homeless people hiding in Huashan a few years ago. At that time, Guanzhong could be said to be starving all over the field, and the bones were scattered. It is precisely because we have seen that tragic scene, and we are all from a poor family, that after taking Guanzhong, we will work hard and think about giving the people a good life. Otherwise, when Lord Sikong enters the customs today, what he sees is not what he looks like in front of him! Li Xin smiled and said.
"Well, with General Li's ability, he is really a rare talent in the world! Even in the imperial court, when the public heard about this, they were full of praise for General Li! Now that the Jin family is in decline and lives in Jiangzuo, it is the time when someone is needed to support Sheji and defend the imperial court. Your Majesty is also thirsty for talents, and hopes to build Weibin people! If you can get the assistance of a handsome man like a general, why worry about the uncertain world! Hearing this, Che Guan couldn't help but glance at Li Xin, and after brushing his beard, he said leisurely.
"This old guy has finally revealed his fox tail! What do you say to sacrifice, it is clear that you want to win me over and make me surrender to the Jiangzuo court! The words are good, what kind of people build Weibin, when I am Fu Shuo or Jiang Ziya? Even if I am, is the emperor of Jiangzuo qualified to be the king of Shang Wuding, or is he qualified to be the king of Wen Jichang? Don't look in the mirror and look at yourself! Che Guan's words suddenly made Li Xin slander in his heart.
The other party's words sounded as if he was lamenting that there were no real talents in the Jiangzuo Imperial Court today, but he was just using these words to express the intention of solicitation.
To put it bluntly, whether it is Fu Shuo or Jiang Ziya, although it is a famous historical record, in the final analysis, it is not all about serving others and being someone else's courtier.
The other party's words are already very clear and saying, you Li Xin surrender to the court! Be a good Fu Shuo or Jiang Ziya, how good it is!
After the car poured out, he picked up the teacup next to him and drank tea. However, drinking tea is fake, and it is true to take the opportunity to drink tea to observe the changes in Li Xin's expression. It's a pity that he is destined to be disappointed, because the expression on Li Xin's face has not changed at all.
Li Xin scolded secretly, but he still maintained a faint smile on his face, and after a deep groan, he said: "The place of Jiangzuo, the place where talents gather, the literary style is prosperous!" How can there be no talent? If you want to say that the people who built Weibin on the board, wouldn't General Huan be exact? Moreover, the Xie family, the backbone of the Wang family, Yu Chen Yuanlu and other big families are all generations of ministers, how can it be said that there are no talents? What the car said is too much! ”
Li Xin didn't accept the offer, even if the other party complimented himself to this point, it would be impossible to move his heart. If you really want to be that famous minister with a hot head, the final outcome will definitely not be much better.
There is no way, if there is even a glimmer of hope in the current Jiangzuo Imperial Court, Li Xin will not be so absolute. But obviously, the current Jiangzuo court is just a dou who can't be supported.
Let yourself let go of this free and easy day, but run over and listen to other people's orders to do things, unless your own brain is in water.
Therefore, he simply pointed it out directly, saying that you Jiangzuo are full of talents, so what does it matter if you go or not? ?
When Che Guan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, he couldn't be clearer about those things in the court. Jiang Zuo does have a lot of talents, but the problem is that these talents are fighting with each other and not using their talents where they are really needed!
"Well, although Jiang Zuo has many talents, such as General Li, it is also rare. Besides, who would have too many talents! Wouldn't it be beautiful if you could enter the court and serve the court! After thinking about it for a while, Che Guan had to say.
