Chapter 155: Don't seek merit, but seek no fault

"Zhao Ji, is it that Zhao Ji?"

When she came out of Pingyang Jun's Mansion, Mingyue was still thinking about the fox-like girl. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

The words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, and seeing that Pingyangjun had no intention of retaining, Mingyue said goodbye. Then Zhao Ji said angrily that her father was rude, saying that she was going to send him off his "cousin" and accompany him out of the house. It seems that she is a young girl who admires famous sons, speaking softly, looking at Mingyue with eyes like water, but Mingyue always feels that her words are quite provocative and seductive......

Although she knows that she is lustful, she admires Shaoai, which is the temperament of both men and women, but Mingyue is her cousin.

Mingyue left the mansion, and Zhao Ji was still leaning against the door, reluctantly watching him disappear into the street, saying that his cousin would come again. Mingyue agreed, and only felt relieved after leaving her sight.

"I'm afraid not to meet a female driver in Handan again, how did Pingyang Jun give birth to such a fairy-like daughter by such an old-fashioned person......"

At the same time, he was also thinking, this Zhao Ji is not the wife of another person, the mother of Qin Shi Huang?

But then, Mingyue herself denied this idea, because the Warring States period is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period, and the tradition of women's surnames has long been lost. People in this era give their daughters names very casually, in Handan City, there are many children of the Zhao family, among which there are no less than hundreds of people who take "Ji" as their daily name, maybe it's just a coincidence?

What's more, if Mingyue is not mistaken, in history, Qin Shi Huang's biological mother is said to be LΓΌ Buwei's dancing concubine, how could it be the concubine of Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao?

Mingyue now has more troublesome things, and soon left Zhao Ji's identity behind, and visited Pingyang Jun again tonight and found nothing, which hit him a little hard. For a while, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered the unit, at that time, he was young and energetic, and he was ambitious and wanted to do something, but whenever this time, his boss and colleagues would pour ruthless cold water.

There is nothing new in the world, whether it is the Warring States period or two thousand years later, most of the bureaucracy operates according to inertia and human feelings, and within this kind of institution, the simplest thing is to follow the rules, get by, and the most difficult thing is to do things.

People who really want to do things are ostracized in these institutions.

There is no risk in following the rules, but when it comes to trying new things, there is a possibility of failure, and most people are shy away from this.

"Could it be that the good things I have hidden for half a year have been abandoned just because of Pingyangjun's words?"

Standing on the streets of Handan, Mingyue was a little hesitant, this is the disadvantage of being under the people, he could taste enough of it when he was a small civil servant, and he had a leader who "does not seek no merit, but seeks no fault", and his subordinates will follow the rules in their lives, don't think about any amazing achievements.

Just as he was hesitating, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"Isn't this Chang'an-kun?"

……

Mingyue looked up, but saw an old man with Huafa wearing a regular suit, accompanied by three or two attendants, walking slowly from the end of the street, although he was old, his eyesight was not bad, and he greeted Mingyue in an old and thick voice.

It's none other than Touch the Dragon!

"Master Zuo!"

Mingyue was a little surprised, but she didn't expect to meet the dragon here.

Lao Touchlong is one of the few old ministers of Zhao State who is full of kindness and appreciation for him, plus Mingyue and Shu Qi are friends, and they also regard Touchlong as a respected elder.

Touching the dragon looked at Mingyue and said with a smile: "The old man is still the same as usual, after eating the food, he has to reluctantly walk outside the house, walk three or four miles a day, increase his appetite a little, and make his body more comfortable...... I remember that Chang'anjun's mansion is still far away from here, and Chang'anjun didn't come from the official office, could it be that something came here? ”

Mingyue didn't hide it from Touch Long, and immediately told him that he wanted the workshop to build a new car, but was vetoed by Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, and asked Touch Long: "Master Zuo, the kid can't convince Pingyang Jun, and now there is nothing to do, can Master Zuo give the kid some advice!" ”

"I see."

Touching the dragon stroked his white beard, shook his head and smiled: "Young man, I really don't want to be idle for a day, unlike our old decay who has stepped into the coffin with one foot, always thinking that more things are better than less, and one day is a day." ”

Seeing Mingyue's firm attitude and vow not to give up until this matter is completed, he said again: "Actually, it's not that there is no way to ......."

"Please teach me!" The bright moon bows to the ground.

"Pingyangjun has always been stubborn, what he is determined not to do, it is useless to persuade him himself."

Touching the dragon paused for a moment and said with a smile: "But if Chang'anjun can persuade the other person and let him put pressure on Pingyangjun, maybe Pingyangjun can change his mind." ”

Mingyue pondered: "The person who can make Pingyang Jun obey is the queen mother and the king?" ”

He looked embarrassed, of course King Zhao didn't want to beg, if he begged the Queen Mother, in the eyes of others, he was still a child, and he would only cry and ask his mother for help when he encountered difficulties.

Touching the dragon said: "Otherwise, Pingyang Jun is the son of a noble relative, an important minister in the court, even if the prince moves out of the king and the queen mother, if he can't convince him, Pingyang Jun will be stubborn." ”

"And who else?" Mingyue was still unfamiliar with the relationship network of Handan's courtiers, and he couldn't think of anyone else who could help him for a while.

"The man's mansion is within a hundred paces."

Touching the dragon turned around, raised the dove cane, and pointed to a house at the end of the street and said: "He is the secretary of Zhao State, Lin Xiangru!" ”

……

The night is twilight, Lin Xiangru is still wearing clothes, sitting in front of the lamp to check the mountains of slips, because his eyes are not good, he needs to bend down when he lifts the pen on it to read, after a long time, he straightens up, beating a little sore waist, Lin Xiangru can't help but sigh: "Old, really old......"

The power of time can make the younger generation of Zhao grow up and step onto the stage one after another, and it can also push him Lin Xiangru from a young and strong name to the ranks of the old ministers in the court.

I think that back then, when the first king promoted him from cloth clothes to doctor Qing in one fell swoop, Lin Xiangru selected important matters for the first king in the sea-like bamboo slips, but he was able to stay up for three nights in a row and be full of energy.

Now, it's only night, and I'm a little sleepy......

Although in order to make room for Tian Dan, Lin Xiangru has stepped down as the prime minister of Zhao State, but everyone knows that it is impossible for the Queen Mother and King Zhao to really hand over the power to Tian Dan, an outsider, and the real power is still controlled in the hands of Lin Xiangru, who has done the "internal history" and is responsible for managing the finances.

But in this way, it has invisibly aggravated Lin Xiangru's work, these days he has to be busy with the autumn harvest, and he has to finish the mausoleum project of King Zhao Huiwen, and he has to arrange the logistics of the Northern Expedition of the Zhao army, Lin Xiangru is really busy.

So when his nephew Lin Lishi came to report that Chang'an Jun had come to the door, Lin Xiangru's first reaction was to find an excuse not to see him......

Since the death of the first king, the new king and his younger brother Chang'anjun between the open and secret fighting, Lin Xiangru naturally saw in his eyes, in the general direction, he supported the new king to suppress Chang'anjun, after all, Zhao Dan was before the meeting of Michi, he and Lian Po urged the first king to quickly become the crown prince in case of accidents.

In the history of Zhao State, there are countless political crises caused by the seizure of power by brothers, and the Dune Palace is not far away, Lin Xiangru certainly does not want to see the sons and daughters of the previous king kill each other, since the name of the monarch and the minister has been determined early, let the king take power sooner, and Chang'an Jun'an is naturally the best choice.

Therefore, Lin Xiangru tried his best to get the Queen Mother to agree to the request of Qi and send Chang'an Jun to Qi as a hostage, just to avoid the occurrence of brothers' rivalry.

As for Chang'an Jun recruiting rangers and shouting out the slogan "For the country and the people, the great man of chivalry", Lin Xiangru said that he was tied to Xinlingjun, the famous son of Wei, and that was later.

I thought that Chang'anjun went to Qi, and King Zhao's authority in the country was increasingly consolidated, and the two could be at peace with each other, but Lin Xiangru's prophecy became true, Chang'anjun was not at all at ease in Qi, and he argued, scolded Teng Geng, was assassinated, and finally returned with the credit of Qi and Zhao's alliance.

In this way, Zhao admires those who take refuge in Chang'anjun, and the number of scholars who hope to be his disciples is increasing day by day, and King Zhao's fear of Chang'an Jun is still undiminished, even if Chang'an Jun has been extremely low-key recently, even if the Empress Dowager Zhao mediates, but Lin Xiangru can see that the thorn in King Zhao's heart will not disappear.

In this situation, Chang'anjun came to visit overnight, and Lin Xiangru should avoid it......

But after thinking about it, Lin Xiangru decided to meet this son again.

"Uncle, let me find an excuse to send him away, why do you want to see him! If it weren't for Chang'anjun who brought back Tiandan, his uncle wouldn't have to quit! ”

Lin Xiangru has no son, only one nephew Lin Lishi, this nephew is not very good-tempered, and he still holds a grudge against Chang'an Jun and Pingyuan Jun to Qi and Zhao, which caused Lin Xiangru to lose his phase.

As a smart person, how could Lin Xiangru not see that after Tian Dan, this Zhao Xiang would be the turn of Pingyuan Jun? Chang'anjun is just working for Pingyuanjun.

What's more, with the death of the first king, Lin Xiangru's heart gradually faded, and he didn't care much about the phase, all he cared about was the hazy future of the country.

Pingyuan Jun is only a middle-aged talent, Lin Xiangru has always had a low opinion of him, can he be a good minister? Can you manage Zhao Guo well? Don't ruin the painstaking management of the former king and their old ministers......

So Lin Xiangru got up and said, "I still have to see it." ”

This cadre's eyes were profound: "The old man wants to see with his own eyes, the light of the prince who rises like the moon, listen to his words and watch his deeds, and see whether he will become the son of Zhao Guo or Meng Weijun!" ”
