Liu Rui is fond of hunting, this is a well-known thing in Jiangling Mansion, since hunting then there are naturally good horses, although there are many good horses in Liu Rui's Mansion, but the war horses in the Western Regions are not something that can be bought with money. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty has been extremely strict in the management of war horses, if there is no special channel, it is impossible for an official of Liu Rui and other levels to have a war horse in the Western Regions, not to mention that since the invasion of Longyou by Tubo, it can almost be said that most of the trade routes to the Western Regions have been cut off, and the exchanges between the Western Regions and the Central Plains have been decreasing day by day.

In this case, the goods from the Western Regions that can be transported to Datang are even more precious, not to mention this kind of hard-to-find Dawan war horse.

Even if Liu Rui was unhappy in his heart, he had to give Li Chengye face to these two Western Regions war horses.

And Li Chengye's words were also cleverly said, and he undoubtedly admitted that he had abused his power for personal gain by asking Yan Shuo for the matter, but it was this sentence that made Liu Rui suddenly have a wonderful feeling that everyone is a fellow believer, and since they are fellow practitioners, then everything is in plain sight.

And Li Chengye showed his sincerity to Liu Rui at the same time, he was also very unkind to pull Yan Shuo in, there is no doubt that Yan Shuo's behavior of giving the war horse to himself without permission also violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if it is put in the Zhenguan period, there is no suspense in degrading the official and exile according to the law.

But after all, at this time, the Tang Dynasty had just come out of the years of war, and it also adopted a blind eye to the actions of such local warlords, but it was good to ask for peace.

It is precisely because of this attitude of the imperial court that people like Yan Shuo, who hold military power, become more unscrupulous.

Anyway, this made Liu Rui very pleased, and the two horses were also very relieved, and they suddenly had a tacit understanding with Li Chengye that they cherished each other.

And Li Chengye also indirectly showed Liu Rui that he had a close relationship with Yan Shuo, even if Liu Rui wanted to retaliate, he had to weigh whether he was enough in advance.

Although things were not done kindly, Li Chengye gave this step very cleverly, and he also added a lot of weight to himself.

It can be seen from this that if there is a father, there must be a son, and there is ample evidence that a large part of Li Zhen's shamelessness was learned from Li Chengye.

Before leaving, Li Chengye did not forget to add a sentence: "I heard that Bai Xiang attaches great importance to the virtuous brother, and it is just around the corner to be crowned a marquis with the talent of the virtuous brother, and in the future, I will rely on the virtuous brother to say a few more kind words in front of His Majesty!" ”

As he spoke, Li Chengye still lightly placed the gift list in his hand on top of several cases, with a flattering face.

"Hahaha, it's easy to say!" Liu Rui was very proud, and the fat on his face was about to burst out with a smile.

......

After Li Chengye left, a young man with an equally fat body pushed the door in, and his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Liu Rui.

This person is Liu Rui's son Liu Kuo, the third in line, because the two brothers died young, so they became Liu Rui's only son.

"Hmph, what is this old man doing here?" Liu Kuo said angrily.

"Hehe, naturally do what he should do!" Liu Rui smiled indifferently, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the gift list on several cases.

Liu Kuo walked to the side of a few cases, grabbed the gift list, and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile in just a moment: "This Li Chengye is really generous, he has been silent since he sat in the position of Yin of this mansion, and he can't see that he has saved a lot of furniture!" ”

"Hahaha, small officials are greedy, big officials are greedy, I really can't find an innocent one these years! He Li Chengye has been sitting in the seat of the Dangyang County Commander for ten years, and he has suffered for ten years, but fortunately, he finally opened his mind, and this soared to the sky, otherwise it would not be his turn to sit in the seat of Yin of Jiangling Mansion! Liu Rui laughed.

"That's natural, but if you talk about real talent and real learning, Aye, you are the best choice for Jiangling Mansion Yin, if it weren't for the fact that he climbed the high branches of the Sixteenth Mansion back then, this son would not have been able to take his turn anyway!" Liu Kuo nodded in agreement, his words full of anger, "Hmph, I don't know how those princes and grandsons in the Sixteen Mansions fell in love with Li Chengye and gave him such a big piece of fat!" ”

Liu Rui didn't speak after hearing this, but frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"What is Aya thinking?" Liu Kuo asked.

Liu Rui replied: "I was thinking that no matter which nobleman Li Chengye climbed into the sixteen mansions back then, the big gift must not be small, and Li Chengye has been a county magistrate for ten years, so where does this money come from?" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Rui's brows furrowed even tighter, while Liu Kuo shook his huge head and frowned without saying a word.

The father and son originally looked very similar, and the same facial expressions at this time were even more like replicas, except that one was the original and the other was a miniature copy.

For Liu Rui, Li Chengye has too many secrets, and the person who can go from the six-pin county order to the three-pin Jiangling Mansion Yin in just a few years should definitely not be underestimated.

After a while, Liu Rui suddenly asked, "Is the matter done?" ”

"Well, it's so clean that the father and daughter can't even find the bones! It's just a pity, that little lady is so beautiful! Liu Kuo didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while, and replied with a melancholy face.

"What a worthless bastard! In the future, your father and your uncle will be officials in the same dynasty in Beijing, and when the time comes, you will be able to choose a woman from Chang'an, and you will not be able to find a beautiful woman?! Liu Rui said angrily.

When Liu Kuo heard this, he immediately smiled, and said, "I don't know when my uncle summoned you to the court, and I haven't seen any movement in the past few months!" ”

"Shut up! When to enter the court is up to Your Majesty, is it your uncle who will call him when he says so?! Although he is the chief assistant of the court, he is still a courtier of His Majesty, and if such a big rebellion is spread, it will be connected to the nine clans! Liu Rui's voice was so fierce that Liu Kuo suddenly turned pale.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Rui said: "Next year, you should perform the crown ceremony, and you can enter the office according to the door after the crown ceremony, you still don't understand the things in the officialdom, some things should be said, and some things can't be said to death, in short, talk less and do more things, so even if you make some small mistakes, your uncle and I have room to turn around!" ”

"Aya has learned a lesson, Kuo'er knows!" Liu Kuo bowed and replied.

Liu Rui nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "How did the thing I told you to do?" ”

"Aye, rest assured, the people sent out this time are all fresh faces, every move of the officials above the sixth rank in Jiangling Mansion is under our control, once anyone has any private dealings with Li Deyu, they can't escape our eyes!" Liu Kuo replied.

"Well, this is what your uncle and father confessed, and it is very likely that Feng Zhi was exposed last time, so this time it must be secret, and any official who has been in close contact with Li Deyu cannot let it go, as long as this matter is done well, I believe we will be able to go to Chang'an soon!"

After saying that, the fat on the two fat faces of the father and son laughed again.
