Chapter 324: This official is good
There are not many people who can sit and drink with Zhen Qian in Yangzhou, not because Zhen Qian refuses to be thousands of miles away, but because there are few friends who have made friends at all, even if they are passable in face. When Wang Jian told himself that he was rewarded, there was no trace of envy in his eyes at all, this era is about being crowned a marquis with outstanding merits, Zhen Qian knows how he got this title, and it is not surprising that he is looked down upon.
The dishes were spread all over the table, and Zhen Qian was not ready to invite anyone today, so he and Fujiwara Shuxiong were two people.
A large pot of grilled fish and mutton rolls, a few plates of side dishes, took a sip with a full wine glass, gave a long hiccup, patted his belly and said: "Fujiwara-kun is the first to congratulate today, another drink!" ”
Zhen Qian's face was full of thoughts, and after listening to the introduction of Pingzhou Ma Cheng, Fujiwara Shuxiong slapped the table and scolded the shamelessness of the officials of the Ministry of Officials, how can you be an official in such a place?
"That's right! Resign from the official, let's do it! "Fujiwara Shuxiong can't wait for Zhen Qian to be an official, since he hasn't opened his mouth to persuade him, Zhen Qian has already said that he won't be an official, so naturally he won't persuade him again.
"Anyway, the county barony of Luquan County is good, there are three hundred households, and there are six or seven hundred yuan a year, although Zhen Lang will not be eye-catching, it is a good honor, and when Zhen Lang returns to Zhen's house, I am afraid that ......the ancestral hall will be opened again, haha!"
Zhen Qian is not as long-term as Fujiwara Shuxiong thinks, everything is associated with Guangzong Yaozu, it's tiring!
As an official, Zhen Qian can't learn it for eight lifetimes, and he doesn't know if he is a hard-working life, or a quiet and casual personality in his heart, he can't fight with being an official.
Resignation was not a big deal before the Tang and Song dynasties, only after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial power was flourishing, and the scholars sharpened their heads and wanted to be officials, and at the same time, the feudal etiquette of the monarchs and ministers was overwhelmed, and if they wanted to not be officials, they would be scolded to death by the clansmen.
"What a headache! I want to get away from this whirlpool as soon as possible, and the time to return to the Japanese country has been set? ”
Fujiwara Shuxiong's face stiffened, and he thought that there was no news about the plan to send the Tang ambassador, so he hurriedly said: "Could it be that Zhen Lang really wants to secretly leave the Tang Dynasty, your identity is different now, and there is no problem with leaving before, but if you disappear now, I am afraid that you will be impeached by the imperial history, so the chief and deputy ambassadors have discussed it, and sent a letter to the Tang Emperor, requesting that you be named the deputy envoy to send the Tang Dynasty, I think it shouldn't be a big problem?" ”
Zhen Qian was stunned for a moment, his current identity is indeed a trouble, the problem of ordinary people secretly going to the Japanese Kingdom is really not big, the court officials want to leave the Tang Dynasty, if there is no emperor's will, it is the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and it is possible to destroy the nine clans, fortunately, now that he has resigned, and he has not gone to the Ministry of Rites to accept the reward, the matter is not too bad.
If he can justifiably go to the Japanese country, it is a very good thing, in the eyes of others it is a chore, but in the eyes of Zhen Qian, it is a great good thing.
"What the hell is going on, why haven't you mentioned it before?" Zhen Qian said unhappily.
Fujiwara Shuxiong smiled awkwardly and said sorry, "This matter is my fault, I very much hope that Zhen Lang can return to China with us and give some suggestions to the Japanese country, this is my selfishness, and I hope Zhen Lang will forgive me!" ”
Zhen Qian pretended to be very angry and said: "I treat you as a friend, but you are calculating me, and we cut off our robes and break our righteousness!" ”
Fujiwara Shuxiong immediately begged for mercy: "It's all my fault, it's up to you to admit the punishment and accept the punishment, we Japanese people are bent on making our hometown strong, just like Zhen Lang wants his country to be strong, but Datang does not allow ordinary people to leave the border, this is also a helpless thing, didn't Zhen Lang also say at the beginning that he wanted to go to the Japanese country to see?" After we learned that Zhen Lang was knighted, we did not hesitate to let the prince of the Wa Kingdom study in the Tang Dynasty in exchange for the consent of the Tang Emperor. ”
Zhen Qian's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the envoy sent to Tang would use the prince to study in Datang in exchange for his identity as a deputy envoy to send Tang to welcome and send off, his heart was about to bloom, this official was simply tailor-made for himself.
It is completely different from secretly leaving Datang, you can go to the country of Wa justifiably, your identity is different, your status and treatment are not the same, and you have a lot of power in your hands.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed, but on my face I expressed strong dissatisfaction with Fujiwara Shuxiong's decision to make without consulting him, thinking that it was an insult to myself and hurt the relationship between the two.
Fujiwara Shuo kept apologizing, and if he changed a scholar, he would think that his self-esteem had been greatly insulted, and he would have left the table with a long time of waving his sleeves.
"Good! For the sake of your sincerity to your own country, I won't care about you", Zhen Qian will accept it when he sees it, if this kind of thing is overdone, it will become true.
An Lushan is obviously accumulating money to prepare for his rebellion, he is also a big fat sheep in An Lushan's mouth, this time he ruined his plan in Yangzhou, it is likely that the next target is himself, it is too dangerous to stay in the Tang Dynasty at this time, he is now a member of the court officials, as long as An Lushan opens his mouth to ask for someone, Li Longji will definitely stuff himself as a gift to An Lushan, and then he will really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and he will not be able to become An Lushan's minions obediently.
"It's rare that Zhen Lang can understand my heart of fist, if Zhen Lang has any difficulties in the future, I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire!"
"Then Fujiwara-kun should tell me now, your plan to return to China is ready, and I also have to prepare in advance?"
The two drank a glass of wine, and the displeasure just now was put to the back of their minds: "Last year's strong wind, so that the sea ships sent to the Tang Dynasty suffered a lot of losses, the original plan should be about the end of February, but there was a riot in the canal warehouse, and many of the Tang envoys were injured, and the two chief and deputy envoys meant to wait until early March to set sail and return!" ”
Zhen Qian is worried about the long nights and dreams, and he can't wait to sail away from Datang tomorrow, of course, this is not realistic at all, but it is too dangerous to continue to stay in Datang now, and when An Lushan reacts, he doesn't know how to deal with himself?
Things are one after another, it seems that they all have something to do with him, Zhen Qian doesn't know what will happen if he waits for another month, but this is an internal matter of the Tang envoy, and it is difficult for him to urge.
"What is the condition of the wounded widows?"
Fujiwara Shuxiong slapped his thigh, and his eyebrows danced: "I was just about to tell you about this matter, ninety percent of those seriously injured survived, and none of the lightly injured died, when is it convenient for you, come with me to the warehouse, they want to thank you in person!" ”
