Chapter 5: Troubled and Worried

"Duke Qin, the white-clothed Qin Sanlang, who was passing by here before, instructed a certain to tell the Duke of Qin, and Sanlang and his party were waiting for the Duke of Qin at the Risheng Restaurant, the largest inn in the market town in front."

"Hahaha, that's great! Then Qin Mou thanked this errand officer, Qin Liang! took out 300 copper coins to reward the officials with some money for eating and drinking. ”

"Thank you Gong Qin! Hehe, thank you Duke Qin for the reward! Oh! There is another thing that I think should be reported to Qin Gong in time, at noon yesterday, there was a pickled Taoist priest who did not know the age of the geometry with a girl in a pink shirt, and in the market in front of him, he inquired about the whereabouts of the nobles from the pedestrians and vendors. ”

"After learning about this, I thought that it was a wandering warlock who pretended to be crazy and stupid, and wanted to deceive some money in the name of a nobleman, how could a sloppy pickled and dilapidated miscellaneous Taoist have anything to do with the high-ranking officials and nobles above the court, and the brothers laughed and didn't take this matter to heart."

"It's just that later I got a few people who reported that they were all related to the miscellaneous warlock, and they felt that this guy was suspicious and afraid that he had very selfish thoughts, so he immediately went to arrest and torture the pickled Taoist priest first, but unexpectedly since then this guy seemed to disappear out of thin air, and a certain brother almost turned the ancient city market town upside down, and failed to find the trace of the pickled Taoist priest and the girl, today I specially reported this abnormal situation to Qin Gong, and asked Qin Gong and the left and right guards to be more careful and careful."

Qin Su, who has always been calm and unfazed, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the abnormal situation of the Wuhou leader's announcement.

Qin Su has only been in office for a year when he arrived as the Shaoyin of Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong Province, and when he wanted to show his ambitions in this office, he received a Pegasus biography and an official diploma from the Ministry of Officials.

Although this Shaoyin of Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong Province is also an errand with an excellent position, it is dwarfed by the dispatch of Shangshu Province Shangshu Youcheng.

One is the Beijing official who is at the foot of the Son of Heaven who is the pivotal of the capital, the other is the local official of the Longxing Land of the imperial family of this dynasty, one is the official rank under the fourth grade, the other is the official rank under the fourth grade, the other is the important Taiwan cabinet secretary who is in charge of the administrative affairs of the prefectures and counties of the Tang Empire, and the other is just the deputy governor of the Taiyuan Mansion in the eastern province of the Tang River who assists the Fu Yin in managing government affairs.

For Qin Su, who was a young man who studied hard and was already full of economy and Yonghui four years of Jinshi, who didn't want to have a higher and broader world, he fully displayed his talents and ambitions in his chest, and lived up to the sages of the kings and sages of the sky and the earth.

It's just that in such a situation where there is no clue or signs, he suddenly received an appointment from the official position of Shangshu Youcheng of Shangshu Province, which really made Qin Su and Qin Shaofu suspicious in his heart.

These official positions in Shangshu Province are already worthy of the position of the core cardinal, from the left and right servants under the Shangshu Zuo Cheng, is the right of the Shangshu under the four products, which is in charge of the six official ceremonies, correcting the affairs of the province, impeaching the imperial history of the improper things, in charge of the military department, the criminal department, the Ministry of engineering, although there is still a big distance between those who are left and right, the servants, the Pingzhangshi, and the heavyweight ministers and assistants under the Tongzhong Shumen, there is still a considerable distance between the rank, power, and all the courtesies. But it is also an indisputable fact that it has entered the core of the power of the Tang Empire.

However, it was precisely because of this that Qin Su, who had almost no foundation in the capital, was very worried.

Qin Su clearly remembered that twenty years ago, he was elected as the lieutenant of Xiangwu County, Weizhou, Guannei Province, and before he took office, he had a great favor to his left servant to shoot the old minister of Ying, and specially ordered someone to quietly bring Qin Su into the mansion of the British duke.

Remember, no matter how good the position of the Beijing official is, it is better to hold the official position of the corresponding grade above the locality.

Remember not to have any private communication with any of the emperor's relatives, the prime minister and the minister of the central government, and the cabinet officials of the three provinces and six ministries, even the old man Qin Su.

Hard-working, diligent and loving the people, fair and honest, clean and self-conscious, can do these can be foolproof and worry-free!

Since then, Qin Su has firmly remembered the earnest teachings of the old man Yinggong, and in the past 20 years, Qin Su has almost always served as a local official far away from the capital.

Guannai Province Weizhou Xiangwu County Lieutenant (Zheng Jiupinxia), residence in Xiangwu County.

Kannai Province Danzhou Yoshikawa County Cheng (Zheng Jiu Pinshang), residence in Yoshikawa County.

Kannai-do, Gyeongju Anhwa County Cheng (from Bapin), residence in Anhwa County.

Henan Province, Yingzhou, Ruyin County Order (from the seventh grade), residence in Ruyin County.

Deputy Supervisor of Guannai Province (Zheng Qipinxia), resides in Yanzhou.

Deputy Supervisor of the Middle Pastor of Longyou Province (from Liupinxia), residing in Taozhou.

Longyou Dao Lanzhou Changshi (Zheng Liupinxia), living in Lanzhou.

The history of the governor of Yingzhou, Hebei Province (from the five products), the residence of Yingzhou.

Luoyang County, Henan Province (Zhengwupinshang), the eastern capital of Luoyang.

Shaoyin, Taiyuan Prefecture, Hedong Province (from Sipinxia), resides in Taiyuan Prefecture.

Even three years ago, when Qin Su was promoted from the governor of Yingzhou, Hebei Province to the county magistrate of Luoyang County, Henan Prefecture, he was alone and only took the housekeeper Qin Liang and several children to go to the post, while the family stayed in his hometown in Qingyuan County, Bingzhou, afraid of the endless entanglement between the relatives and friends of the family and the relatives and nephews of the high-ranking officials and nobles at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

After serving as the county magistrate of Luoyang County, Henan Prefecture for more than two years, he had to dutifully manage the livelihood affairs of tens of thousands of ordinary people, and he had to always abide by the earnest teachings of the old minister, carefully manage Qin Su's own principles of conduct in the world, and tremble on thin ice as if facing the abyss, trembling and cautious in words and deeds, and finally spent more than two years of his tenure as the county magistrate of Luoyang County.

A year ago, he was promoted from the county magistrate of Luoyang County, Henan Province to serve as Shaoyin of Taiyuan Prefecture, Hedong Province, and originally thought that he would show his strength in this term and do more political achievements for the people and villagers in the land of Sanjin, but he never expected that just when his ass was not yet hot and sat firmly, a set of official diplomas from the Ministry of Official Clerks in Zhongshu Province dragged Qin Su from Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong Province back to the familiar and unfamiliar Luoyang City in front of him.

When he just received the official diploma, Qin Su originally thought that he, the right man of Shangshu Province, was going to Chang'an, the capital, to take up his post, but the official document issued by Zhongshu Province specifically pointed out that after Qin Su and Qin Huaiyuan stepped down from the post of Shaoyin of Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong Province, they did not have to go to Chang'an, the capital, but went directly to Luoyang City, the eastern capital.

Compared with Luoyang, the eastern capital of Luoyang, the eastern capital of today, there is a treacherous and intangible sense of artistic conception.

Just two years ago, His Royal Highness Li Hong, who was only twenty-three years old, died without warning in the Qiyun Hall of the Hebi Palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

After experiencing the sudden death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Hong, Qin Su, who was fortunate not to be implicated in this incident, was alone in the secret room, and raised his fingers to count the series of major events that had occurred in the past ten years.

Taizong entrusted a lonely minister, and the powerful Shangshu right servant shot, and the governor Chu Suiliang Chu Gong was deposed from the post of prime minister, and was demoted and released, and finally died of illness in the post of Aizhou Assassin.

Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were deposed by His Majesty together because of their disgust with victory, and were tortured and killed by Empress Wu.

The former queen's uncle, Gongzhongshuling, resigned immediately after his niece was deposed, but in the end he did not escape the fate of being killed.

Tongzhongshu's Sanpin Lai Zhining, Shizhong Han Ying and Zhongshu Ling Laiji and other ministers and assistants were successively deposed and demoted, and they suffered a miserable end.

The famous Taizong Dynasty Zhenguan Taiwei, Tongzhongshu Sanpin, and Yangzhou Governor Sun Wuji were implicated because of their resolute opposition to the abolition of Empress Wang Liwu, and were deposed as prime minister, and finally hanged himself and died in a foreign land.

A generation of literary masters, Xitai Shilang, and the three products of Shangguanyi, with Dongxitai, were tragically exterminated because of their collusion in drafting the edict of the deposed Empress Wu for His Majesty.

Today, His Majesty and Empress Wu are in the court to listen to the government, and they are called the "Two Saints in the Dynasty".

Today, His Majesty and Empress Wu enshrined Mount Tai together, and Empress Wu made a sacrifice to the earth.

……

How many heroes of the noble family have disappeared in the court forever and forever with the secret confrontation between you and me in the past ten years.

The cruel facts of these bloody struggles are vividly in my mind, and Qin Su can't help but secretly sigh at the wisdom and foresight of the old man Ying.

However, now that the dispatch and appointment of Shangshu Province Shangshu Youcheng really caught Qin Su off guard, even if Qin Su, who was very concerned, wanted to find a person who was well versed in the entanglement of political interests and asked him for advice on the true meaning of Samadhi, although the world is big, except for the old minister who is worthy of Qin Su's trust, there are no others.

It's just that for Qin Su, his greatest sorrow is that the old man who has a great favor to him has also traveled west a few years ago.
