The pole of prosperity must decline, and the pole of decline must flourish.

Whether it is a country or an individual, it is impossible to escape this law.

General Hou escorted the princes and nobles of Gaochang back to the capital, and His Majesty Li Er held a banquet to celebrate and praise the meritorious soldiers.

The merit of destroying the country, Hou Junji can be said to have reached the pinnacle of his life and became the first general in the Tang Army. That's right, Li Jing has been an otaku honestly, and he Hou Junji is a well-deserved military god.

Of course, Hou Junji thought so, but others hadn't put the hat of the god of war on his head.

It's a pity that within a few days of Lehe, there was a royal history to take money and property in Gaochang, so that the military discipline was scattered and the east window incident occurred.

General Hou thought that this was just a trivial matter, but His Majesty Li Er had already ordered a review. As a result, Hou Junji was thrown into prison and depressed.

Before waiting for the court interrogation, the text of Zhongshu Lang Cen was played, believing that Hou Junji was a general who had contributed to the destruction of the country and could not be humiliated. His Majesty Li Er followed the advice and released General Hou, who had been in prison for a few days.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty Li Er is beating Hou Junji, lest he be arrogant. Although he was imprisoned for a few days, he was not treated harshly, and he was not allowed to return the treasure he had stolen.

It's a pity that Hou Junji is not an understanding person, and he is resentful of this matter, and he also laid the groundwork for his tragic ending.

Character determines success or failure, and this sentence is not false at all. Hou Junji belongs to the kind of ungrateful person, no matter how good he is, as long as there is one thing that is not agreeable, he will turn his face.

Li Jing is an example, teaching the art of war should be grateful, right? But Hou Junji didn't, he complained to His Majesty Li Er, saying that Li Jing had the intention of rebellion and did not teach him the art of war.

It's good to teach you, what's wrong with people keeping one hand? But Hou Junji is such a thinking, such a bad person, not only resentful, but also revenge.

His Majesty Li Er beat Hou Junji and did not punish the other plundering soldiers. This is the art of leadership, if you win a battle, if you rob it, you will rob it, and you have to count on the army in the future!

When the news reached Ganzhou, Xu Qilin just laughed it off. I knew that this would be the result, and it had nothing to do with him.

After the Spring Festival and the organization of spring ploughing, he will return to Beijing to report on his work, which means that he will not return to Ganzhou.

In this regard, Xu Qilin is not surprised, and he has a corresponding plan. If he returns to the capital to continue to serve in Dayingku, he will go to the Xin'an Industrial Base and not flutter in the muddy waters of Chang'an.

The news that she wants to return to the capital has spread in the house, Scarlett and Adjani don't care, follow her own Ah Lang, and don't suffer anywhere. It's just that when you return to the capital, you may not be able to be the boss in the house.

Fang Er was nervous for a while, and was comforted by Xu Qilin, so he went with the flow. Now it seems that His Majesty Li Er may have changed his mind and doesn't want to marry the princess to this bastard.

Ke, well, Xiao Ye has become a little more normal. Anyway, Sister Ah has something to say, just follow Xu Qilin, and it's almost the same where.

Although there are still a few months to leave office, Xu Qilin still asked his officials to sort out the documents and accounts, and they are all clean, so that they can be handed over and will not leave any tail.

And there are still a lot of official positions in the imperial court, and next year the Anxi capital will be taken over by Guo Xiaoke, and Wang Fangyi's assassination history is very stable. The main reason is that Gaochang's business has recovered well, and his political achievements have satisfied the imperial court.

Du Zhenglun is in the position of Suzhou Assassin, and it looks like he will stay for another year or two. angered His Majesty Li Er, and he could only continue to wait for His Majesty Li Er to dissipate.

The news that attracted Xu Qilin's most attention came that Li Sipang's "Chronicles of the Ground" was all compiled, with a total of eight volumes. It is indeed commendable for its extensive reference and preservation of a lot of valuable materials.

But His Majesty Li Er's reaction was a bit excessive, not only did he collect this work in the secret palace of the royal library as if he had obtained a treasure, but also rewarded it one after another.

first gave "ten thousand pieces of things", and then rewarded a large amount of property, the amount even exceeded the prince's specifications, which provoked the minister to have to go up and advise.

His Majesty Li Er gladly accepted the advice and praised the ministers who advised him, but he did not change at all. In order to balance, he canceled the spending restrictions of the crown prince Li Chengqian, indicating that the prince was still above Li Tai.

Although on the surface, the crown prince Li Chengqian got more. But the etiquette is overstepping, which in itself speaks for itself.

Moreover, Xu Qilin felt that lifting Li Chengqian's spending restrictions and giving him a blank check to write and spend casually seemed to be a bit of a pit digging.

Because when Li Chengqian resigned, His Majesty Li Er replied: The tomb of the Ru family is the prince of the country, so there is a destiny to show the difference. If you enter the school, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and the treasury of the same government, the father and son are one.

Meaning: This is the world of our old Li family, I am your father, and mine is yours.

But the latter words said: It is a gentleman who is rich but not arrogant, humble and profitable, and extravagant is not grand, and those who lose the covenant are rare. Reluctant to keep the way, no trouble to thank.

Since you let Li Chengqian spend it casually, what kind of gentleman do you make, what kind of luxury do you do without grandchildren and modesty to benefit? There is also Mian Si Shoudao, what do you ask Li Chengqian to think about, and what kind of Tao does he let him keep?

The wind is about to rise, Xu Qilin put down the letter, knowing that Li Chengqian must be afraid because of this. Even if he doesn't understand, the kobold military advisors under him can figure out some flavors, right?

If you change your past mistakes and wake up, maybe there is still some room for salvation. But Li Chengqian is that kind of person, Xu Qilin doesn't believe it.

As long as Li Sipang continues to wait and doesn't do dizzy things, the throne should be stable.

Xu Qilin took the pen and wrote a letter to Li Sipang, which should have been written a long time ago, but he has been lazy and has been dragging on for more than ten days.

The profits of Cao Lu and the profits of the big surplus made His Majesty Li Er put the rebuilding of the Luoyang Palace on the plan. It is estimated that from next year's spring ploughing, it will start gradually.

As the governor of Luozhou, Li Sipang naturally has to take the main responsibility. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for performance. If the palace can be repaired without making the people's grievances boil, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement.

Actually, it's easy to do, as long as you have money. You don't have to do any forced labor, it's just a hire, the salary is good, and no one has done it?

In terms of funds, as long as it is not a one-time large supply, there is still no problem. The Luoyang Palace is not in a hurry, and it will be completed within five years, and it will be in time.

Of course, Xu Qilin also gave Li Sipang a few ideas. Not only repairing the palace room, but also allowing the people of Luozhou to enter more items.

In the letter, Xu Qilin once again reminded Li Sipang that he should never send someone to make friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and honestly wait for a big pie to fall from the sky.

From previous correspondence, Li Sipang mentioned this matter. It's not that he wants to do it, it's that his subordinates want to make meritorious contributions.

Although these people are well-intentioned, they want to make Li Sipang's power greater. But with good intentions to do bad things, Xu Qilin is also the most opposed.

You must know that the reason for Li Sipang's failure in history is also related to what Li Chengqian said to His Majesty Li Er.

Li Chengqian attributed his rebellion to Li Sipang's pressing step by step, and Li Sipang did send his subordinates to win over some people with money, showing his desire to seek succession.

It can be said that Li Chengqian's final blow is very crucial. In addition, Li Sipang was dizzy and said nonsense about killing his son and passing on his brother, which finally made His Majesty Li Er decide to pass the throne to Li Zhi.

Xu Qilin made it very clear, it is useless for you to win over the ministers now. When you get what you want, that is, to obtain the right to inherit the throne, there will naturally be ministers who will be loyal, and His Majesty Li Er will also arrange it properly.

In fact, Xu Qilin said things similar to these meanings to Li Sipang. But he is not by Li Sipang's side, who knows if Li Sipang will be moved by his subordinates and change his mind?

After writing the letter, Xu Qilin read it carefully again, and felt that there was no problem, so he closed it and put it away, and sent someone to Luoyang tomorrow.

After simply packing up the bookcase, Xu Qilin walked out of the study slowly, and heard the melodious sound of the piano in the distance.

Xu Qilin smiled, which was also one of the changes in Xiaoye. In addition to delicious food, in addition to loving the sun, playing the piano and singing has gradually become her hobby.

I was going to the back garden to admire, and the next person came to report, and the people from the capital were waiting in the hall.

Xu Qilin didn't know what was going on, turned around and went to the hall, and only after going in and looking at it did he realize that it was a master of investigation sent by His Majesty Li Er.

"Xia Guan has seen Xu Cheng." The master is nearly forty years old, and he can't see that he is a person in the yamen at all, but Xu Qilin noticed his eyes, and occasionally flashed a fine light, knowing that this guy is thoughtful and not good-looking.

Xu Qilin bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Sun is polite, but what clues did you find?" ”

Master Sun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am incompetent, and there are no clues in many investigations." ”

Xu Qilin said with a smile: "Mr. Sun is serious, there is no clue about this case, and it is natural that it cannot be found." A certain meeting will be made clear to the imperial court, and Mr. Sun will investigate in many ways and work hard. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Master Sun to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea.

After Master Sun sat down, he said, "If Xu Cheng can think of someone to make a grudge with, he can continue to investigate." ”

Xu Qilin waved his hand and said, "If it is said that there is a festival, then there must be." But if you want to say that you have a mortal enemy, you can't think of it. That being the case, how can a certain nonsense be implicated. ”

Master Sun nodded and said, "Xu Chengzhai is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want to be implicated, so he can save it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The poison on the crossbow arrow, after many inquiries below, seems to be one used by the fangs. According to Xu Cheng's description, the Assassin was short and agile, similar to the Fangman. ”

"If it's a fang-" Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "The image is so peculiar, it must be difficult to escape." ”

Master Sun said: "I thought that the assassin might no longer be alive, so I couldn't hunt him down. ”

Xu Qilin agreed with this, the assassination failed, disappeared, and it was very likely that he was killed. It was precisely because of this that the people he sent could not find the slightest trace of the assassin.

"Mr. Sun doesn't have to care, he will return to Beijing to resume his life, and a certain side will also play the detailed situation." Xu Qilin felt that Master Sun couldn't solve the case, so he came to ask him to do something.

Master Sun smiled and said, "Xu Cheng doesn't have to worry about not being able to hand over the difference, and Jingzhao Mansion does not say that he can't solve the case and be held responsible." In fact, there is indeed a reluctant request below, and I hope that Xu Cheng can fulfill it. ”

Xu Qilin said: "Mr. Sun is in charge of himself. ”

Master Sun pondered for a moment and said, "I want to stay in Ganzhou, I don't know if Xu Cheng can agree?" ”

Xu Qilin was a little confused, how good it is in Jingzhao Mansion, although Ganzhou is also good, but in the end it is still a remote place in the northwest.

Seeing that Xu Qilin didn't answer immediately, Master Sun continued: "It's not a secret, I offended the powerful and high-ranking officials in Beijing, and I really don't want to go back." ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "A certain person still has some connections in Beijing, if you talk about it, what does Mr. Sun think?" ”

Master Sun shook his head and said, "The water in Jingzhao Mansion is too deep, and whenever the investigation involves high-ranking officials and dignitaries, there are always many constraints. is a more serious person in the next place, and if he doesn't check the facts, he is always depressed in his heart. ”

"That's it-" Xu Qilin groaned, and only raised his head after a while and said: "Please ask Mr. Sun to temporarily serve in the Ganzhou Yamen, and only say to the court that he is still solving the assassination case." As for the future, it will be too late to arrange it after next year's spring ploughing. ”

Master Sun understood that this was to test his ability to see if he could handle the matter of anti-theft and investigation in the yamen.

"I dare not do my best." Master Sun arched his hand and said, "But please Xu Cheng observe, if you are not talented enough, you will let Xu Cheng fall." ”

"What to say, it's serious." Xu Qilin smiled and waved his hand, "In Jingzhao Mansion, he can be called a master, and in this small Ganzhou, for Mr. Sun, it is indeed a bit condescending." ”

Master Sun hurriedly humbled him, chatted casually for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

I don't know who this guy offended in the capital, and he wanted to run to Ganzhou to avoid trouble.

Xu Qilin sent Master Sun away, and while thinking, he slowly walked into the back garden.

Although the weather is cold, the atmosphere in the warm pavilion in the back garden is warm. The aroma of meat grilled on the charcoal fire is overflowing, and the wine and side dishes are placed on the table, which makes the mouth spit.

Xiao Ye just played a song, returned to the table, and drank skewers, so happy.

Seeing Xu Qilin, Scarlett smiled and got up to greet him, complaining that he was late.

"After writing the letter, it happened that another guest came." Xu Qilin explained, took a seat at the table, and said to Fang Er with a smile: "I heard that someone is here at home, but what's the matter?" ”

"Send some money and clothing." Fang Er said disapprerovingly: "I also asked when I would go back." ”

Xu Qilin nodded, took the wine glass handed over by Scarlett, took a sip lightly, and said, "When you return to Jingshi next year, you will be honest for a while." ”

Fang Er Kabakaba looked at him and asked, "Something happened?" I haven't heard of it! ”

"Although nothing happened, Jingshi is not very calm!" Xu Qilin raised his glass and said, "You have a real heart, don't let people take advantage of it." ”

Oh, Fang Er seemed to understand, and said: "After we go back, let's contact more often, with you as a counselor, I am not afraid of being deceived." ”
