The biggest problem now is that he has not yet found a suitable replacement for him. Since he had the heart of retiring, he has also made some arrangements in the past few years, and there are a few people in the hospital who can afford to take the position of prefect in terms of talent alone. However, Wang Bingchen knew very well that the prefect of the Shangdu Jinju Academy must not only be capable, but also gain the trust of the festival envoys, and both are indispensable.

However, the people he is optimistic about have all grown up in Chang'an, and they have no experience as officials in Ziqing, and some have not even been to Ziqing, let alone have the trust of Li Shigu.

Wang Bingchen thought that Ziqing Li treated him well, and left suddenly, unable to explain his feelings. In addition, Li Shigu is not an easy person to deal with, if he annoys him halfway, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Last night, a close friend came to urge him again, asking him when he could leave his post and go to the Eastern Capital.

Wang Bingchen was as big as a bucket for this, this morning, he drank a bowl of black rice porridge in the porridge house, dragged his two legs filled with lead and came to the concert hall slowly, there were several students of his own, and he didn't have to worry about daily affairs at all, and they would find him in a hurry, so he walked very slowly, and he was very leisurely on the surface, but his heart was like frying in oil.

The Jinjuan of the Lu Army in Ziqing Ping has been relocated several times, and is now located in Chongrenfang in the east of the imperial city, which is only one street away from the imperial city. The advantage of being located here is that it is close to the imperial city, convenient to do things, close to the East Market, convenient for buying gifts, and inviting guests to drink. The disadvantage is that there are many residents in the workshop, there are many ears and eyes, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the big things.

Because of this, his two proud protégés persuaded him to move the public party to a farther place, Wang Bingchen refused, Chongrenfang is mixed with dragons and snakes, but there are more nutrients in the muddy place, what is the concert hall for, not self-cultivation to find a quiet place, what he wants is to be well-informed, only in this pool of muddy water can he find what he wants.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the concert hall, Shushi Qin Zaomian trotted all the way to greet him, and the grinning back tooth socket could be seen. Qin Zaomian and Wu Shuangquan have followed Wang Bingchen for many years, not only his right-hand man, but also his quasi-son-in-law, because of this, Wang Bingchen looks very cordial when he sees Qin Zaomian.

Seeing his behavior Meng Lang, he took out the majesty of Quasi-Mount Tai and reprimanded: "The wolf is running suddenly, what kind of system is it." ”

Being scolded by his own quasi-Taishan, Qin Zaimian didn't care at all, he bowed again and again: "The doctor is very happy, very happy." "Wang Bingchen is now with the official Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and outsiders call him Dr. Wang when they meet, but the subordinates of the Jinju Academy generally call him the dean or sir. Give the power of the literature network

Wang Bingchen glanced Qin Zaimian up and down, as if it was the first day they met. Qin Zaomian's heart was furious when he looked at him, so he didn't care about selling Guanzi, and said bluntly: "Someone from Yunzhou is here, Li Mao, Li Maohua." ”

The Shangjuan communicated with the capital and Yunzhou, and was very sensitive to the personnel dynamics of the two places, and Li Mao was a close confidant of Li Shigu, the envoy of the festival, and was among Wang Bingchen's attention. More than a month ago, he received the news that Li Mao was coming to Chang'an. Li Mao served as the government for less than a year, and he did several earth-shattering things, one was to block the assassin's secret weapon for Li Shigu and save him. The second is to act as a picket, even picking the four major families of Wang, Wang, Li, and Fang, plus the Pei family, a relative.

The third major event was that he set up Penglai County Lieutenant Li Zhun in Dengzhou, which was incompatible with the water and fire of the deputy envoy Li Shidao.

Recently, in his capacity as the deputy envoy of the Yangdao Army of the Guard, he secretly sent thousands of people from the old Qing Navy to Liaodong for resettlement, and actually presided over the plan to restore Liaodong.

Yunzhou said that Li Mao's trip to Chang'an was to hire a celebrity Zhang Ji, Wang Bingchen knew in his heart that this was just an excuse, and now Li Shidao has entered Yunzhou with the support of the Li clan elder to observe the deputy envoy, and is sprinting to the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Ziqing's political situation is dominated by Li Shigu alone, and gradually evolves into two brothers competing for power, the inside story, he is far away from thousands of miles away to see clearly, but it must be thrilling.

Ziqing officialdom compared Li Mao to Li Shigu's sword, and it must be known that the sword is a double-edged sword, which can hurt others and easily hurt oneself. This sharp sword is left in Yunzhou at the moment, or it is broken by the enemy, or it is used by the enemy to fight back, it is better to send him out to save worry.

Zhang Ji is in Chang'an, but Wang Bingchen concluded that Li Mao came for nothing this time, and he couldn't invite Zhang Ji, what should he do?

"I have to give him a reason to stay in Chang'an."

Wang Bingchen thought of this, and instantly quickened his pace.

Qin Zaomian saw that his quasi-Taishan understood what he meant, and he was overjoyed in his heart. Old Taishan has made up his mind, no one can stop him, his life merits are complete, and there are no regrets. But his career has just begun, and he still needs to go further on the platform of the Concert Academy.

has been in the officialdom for a long time, doesn't he know that once he is a son of heaven and a courtier, people will be cold when they leave tea? For his own sake, he naturally hoped that Wang Bingchen would be replaced by someone he could talk to.

Li Mao is the righteous son of Mrs. Dingtao, the righteous brother of Su Zuoming, the judge of the Inner Garden Bureau, just right, he and Su Zuoming have a good temper, and Su Zuoming can help him talk.

"The old man has to keep Li Mao."

Qin Zaimian was like stepping on a gust of wind under his feet, and accidentally rushed to the front of Wang Bingchen, and immediately received a reprimand from Quasi-Taishan. Wang Bingchen is an old man, and he knows the lesson of bullying the old and not the young in the officialdom, and rarely scolds the younger generations in person, and naturally his own family is an exception.

Therefore, although Qin Zaimian was reprimanded, his heart was like swallowing honey, and his heart was sweet.

Qingmo was hooked by the secret prostitute raised by the hotel last night, **intestinal battle, unable to get up in the morning**. Li Mao only brought Mo Qi Shentong to the Jinju Academy.

While Mo Qi Shentong was sitting upright and drinking tea, Li Mao held the tea bowl in one hand and the other behind his back, leisurely admiring the paintings on the wall.

"Li Zhiya is really good Yaxing."

Seeing an old man with gray hair and a thin face coming with a smile, Li Mao hurriedly put down the tea bowl and greeted him.

Li Mao's official position is not as high as Wang Bingchen's, but his status in the Ziqing Shogunate is slightly higher than that of Wang Bingchen.

Wang Bingchen's face was full of smiles, his hand twisted his beard, looked Li Mao up and down, and said with a smile: "I have heard Li Maohua's name for a long time, but when I see it today, he is indeed a hero." ”

After a few words of greeting, he sat down for tea. Li Mao Daoming came to his senses, and Wang Bingchen said: "This is easy to do, I will ask Qin Zaomician to go to Chang'an County to ask, there are our acquaintances there, as long as others are in Chang'an, they will definitely be able to find it." ”

He also said: "Zhang Ji is a person, he is talented and arrogant, when he debuted, he relied on Han Yu's recommendation, Han Changli and I have some friendship, when I was young, I handed over a post to the past, if he is free, let's go to meet him together, with his words, this matter is much easier." However, Han Changli is very tight-mouthed, and he may not be able to ask for the truth. It doesn't matter, as long as we go and drink wine, we can use his guise to the outside world, and he is always embarrassed to say that we are lying. Ha ha. ”

Mo Qi Shen Channel: "We came from afar, we didn't bring any decent gifts, seeing that Mr. Han is not good to go empty-handed, please send a small envoy to the city to buy some gifts." We will give all the money. ”

Wang Bingchen said: "What are these words, this is the Ziqing Ping Lu Army stationed in the Shangdu Jinyuan, and Yunzhou is a family, the family does not speak two words, the two of them come to Beijing on business, how dare you bother with such a trivial matter." ”

Qin Zaumian, who was accompanying him on the side, said: "The ceremony has been prepared, and someone has been sent to deliver the name post." The two of you can just wait for good news. ”

When Li Mao and Wang Bingchen were greeting, Qin Zaomian had already arranged these things properly, and Li Mao was impressed by being so capable.

After chatting for a while about the officialdom changes in Yunzhou and Chang'an, Wang Bingchen looked at Li Mao with a smile and said: "Maohua is young and promising, and his future is unlimited. ”

He also said: "The old man has not done much in his life, the sea has been ups and downs, and he is still depressed at the age of forty. Speaking of this, Qin Zaomian interjected: "Recently, there have been several ministers in the court who have marched to the Son of Heaven, and the old man is the imperial historian, and he is in charge of the Eastern Capital. ”

Wang Bingchen's face sank and shouted: "Duh, how can hearsay be taken seriously. ”

Qin Zaomian was speechless and didn't dare to make another time.

Wang Bingchen served a bowl and invited him to drink tea, diverting the topic. Not long after sitting, a small official came to report that he had found out the whereabouts of Zhang Ji through acquaintances in Chang'an County.

Li Mao got up and said, "The old gentleman has a lot of opportunities, Mao won't bother, just go back to the inn for the time being, and wait for the call." Wang Bingchen pressed his hand and said: "Maohua's words are bad, when you get to Chang'an, you should live in the concert courtyard and go out to live in the inn, wouldn't it seem to be a child?" He also said: "The old man is sixty years old, and his energy has long been low, and he has such a big mess in the Shangjuan Academy, how can he take care of it, but fortunately there are a few capable helpers to maintain it, and to say a big thing that should not be said, even if the old man is lying high at home, the courtyard will not be chaotic." It's not as tiresome as outsiders think. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mao chuckled in his heart: It was not a big deal for him to come to Beijing to hire Zhang Ji, he met with him as usual, and just gave a few orders. If he had put it aside before, he had his own reasons to sit and chat, but since he had a stalemate with Li Shidao, Ziqing didn't hide from him, for fear of getting into trouble, why wasn't he afraid?

He glanced at Wang Bingchen, then at Qin Zaomian, and suddenly realized: Wang Bingchen was old, and he had the idea of retreating, and he seemed to have found a good way out. It's just that because of the special status of the prefect of the Academy, I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so I didn't dare to resign rashly. Hearing him mean that he wanted to coax himself to stay and take over as the prefect.

Li Mao immediately considered the pros and cons of taking over as the prefect in his heart, and concluded that it was indispensable.

His body has been branded with the mark of Li Shigu's faction, this time he came to Chang'an, called to visit Zhang Ji is really for refuge, the political situation in Ziqing is treacherous, how long he wants to stay in Chang'an, but no one can say.

Whether to live in Chang'an or replace Wang Bingchen as the prefect, Li Mao is inclined to the latter, he is an idle person, and he is unwilling to be kicked out like this.

He is also an ambitious man who is eager to make a comeback. (Dissertation College)
