Chapter 253: Everything is just a transaction
, Tang Cheng's master and servant were hung in the Xinglong Inn, and there was no response at all
Laifu also knew that his master came to Daocheng privately, and the rules of the court were to leave the jurisdiction privately, and he still didn't observe the shadow of the embassy when he went out and walked around, and when he came back, he couldn't help but say dryly: "Big official, it's been three days, Min He hasn't shown his head yet, let's go, if there is anything to do, go back and find a way."
Tang Cheng held a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" bought at random on the street and sat cross-legged on the couch, this year the movable type printing has not yet been clear, and the stereotype cost of engraving printing is too high, so the most popular printed matter in the market is the Buddhist scriptures, since the day before yesterday after buying this Buddhist scripture outside the inn, he has not come out of the door in his free time for the past two days, just sitting on the couch and reading the scriptures like an old monk who has entered the house.
Seeing Tang Cheng like this, Laifu, who was already anxious, was even more anxious, and he obviously ran out privately, so he didn't know how to be in a hurry.
There are so many things in the county, how can Tang Cheng not be in a hurry? If it weren't for the fact that he wouldn't have been able to take a single step at all. But what can be done in a hurry? The future of Longmen County's grand blueprint has been closely linked to his official position, and to solve the problem of unstable official position, the root is not in Longmen County, but here, in the observation of Daocheng Yamen, if this problem is not resolved, what is the point of going back?
Why did he buy this "Diamond Sutra", it was not to use the Buddhist scriptures to calm down his impatient mood.
"When you encounter problems, you must be calm, how many times have I told you this. Look at your hot pot ant, sit down! Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and turned over a page of the scriptures, and said without raising his head: "Wait."
Min He did not bring any good news, but he also did not send any news of refusal, after saying so many words, Tang Cheng firmly believed that it was impossible to observe the embassy without saying anything, from this point of view, no news itself may be good news.
If you want to catch a big fish, you have to be patient! While waiting in front of you is uncomfortable, it's also a good opportunity to hone your patience.
Waiting for the final result, ten days later, Min He, the chief butler of the Observation Embassy, finally set foot in the Xinglong Inn again, along with the news that Min Qian was summoned by the Observation Envoy.
After getting the news. Tang Cheng put down the scroll in his hand and stood by the window for a long time. He was lying on the couch behind him. The "Diamond Sutra" that I just bought has a layer of scattered raw edges.
It was dusk in the afternoon. The location is the Observation Embassy Study. Tang Cheng met Min Qian, the No. 1 person in the officialdom of Hebei Province.
When Tang Cheng came in with the little guy. Dressed in light home clothes, Min Qian was holding a book in his hand and was looking at the ground.
After leading him to the moment, the little guy turned around and went silently. Tang Cheng waited for a while, and saw that Min Qian didn't mean to release the volume. I found a stool and sat down quietly.
Min Qiandi's eyes fell on the scroll in his hand. But the corner of his eye swept over Tang Cheng from time to time. It's the same as the Astrich. Although I had heard Min He's report on Tang Chengdi's situation earlier. But at this moment, after really seeing people. Tang Chengdi's youth still impressed him.
Handsome facial features. The characters are romantic. is also a scholar, and Min Qian's first impression of Tang Chengdi is not bad. At least it's much better than the ghostly Niu Zude. Leave these outward things behind. Tang Cheng's calm temperament, which is not commensurate with his age, is what Min Qian is more interested in.
Scholars can be on the high school Jinshi Gold List at this age, no matter how you count it, you are a teenager who is proud, and it is common to be arrogant, but this kind of thing that should be the norm is not seen in Tang Zeng at all, and he has been in for a while, neither sincere and fearful, nor the slightest deliberate snub of anxiety, sitting quietly, with a condensed and calm between his eyebrows.
Such a young man has not been seen for a long time!
"Are you Tang Cheng?" After a long time, Min Qian put down the scroll in his hand, turned around and said shallowly: "Tang Cheng who can be killed in Chang'an City on the night after the abolition of Wei? ”。
Tang Cheng withdrew his gaze from the "Historical Records" that Min Qian put on the bookcase, "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune." Xia Guan is Tang Cheng, who was chased by the whole city of Wanqi Dasuo that night."
"The life and death of the country is not because of misfortune and fortune", Min Qian repeated these two lines of poetry, and a smile appeared on his face that did not see the meaning, "Speaking of which, the envoy is also curious, where are you staying that night, and you can escape the search of more than 10,000 soldiers all over the city."
When Min Qianruo asked this inadvertently, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and Tang Cheng was hardly any late about this, "I really don't hide it, my lord, Xia Guan lived in the palace of the emperor that night, and the city was full of wind and rain."
"As far as this envoy knows, His Majesty didn't know about the palace change that day, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess of Zhenguo worked together to make a big deal", Min Qian pondered for a while before he spoke again: "In this way, you went to the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army because it was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”。
Tang Cheng didn't say much, and when he got up, he gently put an object on the bookcase in front of Min Qian.
This is the jade plate that Zhang Liang gave him according to Li Longji's instructions when Tang Cheng left Yangzhou that day, representing the identity of his confidant, and it is also the thing he brought with him when he left from Longmen to Jinyang this time.
The fine Hetian jade glowed warmly in the light passing through the window, but Min Qian's attention was only focused on the three small characters on the back of the jade plate, which were the name of the current prince.
It has been more than half a year since that palace fight, and although Princess Taiping of Zhenguo has taken advantage of the court and is so prominent that the seven prime ministers of the political hall are out of the house, she still can't push Li Longji down from the crown prince's throne, and there is a faint rumor in the inner palace and the court that His Majesty is tired of political affairs and has the news that the Zen throne has retired to the emperor.
has experienced two palace changes in less than three years, and Min Qian can't see where the current court situation will go, he just knows that when it comes to Li Longji and Princess Taiping, no matter who can back down.
"If the envoy doesn't see you, do you want to inform the capital of the >> state", said Min Qianyang, raising the jade plate in his hand.
"Yes", Tang Cheng nodded, "For self-preservation."
It has to be so".
Hearing this, Min Qian smiled silently, and the jade plate in his hand was put back on the bookcase, "Do you know that Hebei Province is the first avenue of the national dynasty?" ”。
This is something that three-year-old children know, Tang Cheng didn't understand why Min Qian suddenly said this, but he didn't ask much, "Yes."
"Just three months ago, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo had intended to transfer the envoy to Beijing to add Tongping Zhangshi, and this is the second time since the palace change."
According to the current rules of officialdom, Fan Jia Tongping Zhang Shi has the power of the prime minister, which also means that Princess Taiping promised Min Qian the position of the prime minister of the political affairs hall, hearing this, Tang Cheng was not too surprised by this news in addition to wondering why Min Qian told him this, after all, it is not too unbelievable to be promoted to the Chang'an political affairs hall as the world's first avenue observer.
"But the envoy thanked him politely", Min Qian, who smiled lightly, stood up, walked to the desk next to Tang Cheng's seat and lifted the teapot, and continued in a light tone while pouring tea: "The envoy is already old, and after quietly serving for three years, it is time to tell the old man to return to his hometown and laugh at his grandson, the servants of the Chang'an court don't want to worry about it, and they can't afford to worry about it, so let those changes stay away from the servants and away from Hebei Province", at this point, Min Qian picked up one of the two teas poured on the ground and handed it to Tang Cheng, "So, do you understand what the envoy means?" ”。
"Yes".
"This is not Chang'an, even if it is Chang'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet taken over the throne. Tang Cheng, you remember, this is Hebei Province, Hebei Province has its own charter of Hebei Province, whoever breaks the charter is self-destructing the future", Min Qian avoided Tang Cheng's outstretched hand and put the tea cup on the table beside him, "You are far away, this is the warning given to you by the envoy."
Tang Cheng stood up from the stool and agreed in a deep voice again, "Yes."
"You have a lot of affairs in the yamen, so the envoy will no longer keep you, so let's leave early tomorrow morning", Min Qian looked Tang Cheng up and down again and said kindly: "As a subordinate official, you can not avoid hardships and dangers to sue the official for corruption, just this point shows that you are loyal to the court, and the envoy will live up to your heart, if the state assassin Shi Niu Zude is really corrupt, the envoy should be severely punished according to the law of the imperial court, and the Taoist government will punish the department to handle it, if you have any testimony, evidence and even witnesses, you will hand them over."
"Yes", Tang Chengqiang suppressed the feeling in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "The lower officials should cooperate with themselves."
Hearing this, Min Qian looked at Tang Cheng with a warm smile for a moment and nodded, "Well, go ahead!" ”。
Walking out of Min Qian's study, Tang Cheng held his breath for a long time and didn't spit it out, when he saw Min He waiting in the front yard.
"Congratulations to Tang County Order", Min He's intimacy at this time is really different from the coldness of the day.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng was also full of smiles, and walked out side by side with Min He, "If there is no help from Min Guan at home, how can a certain person see the observation envoy?" This love has been recorded, and it will be made up later."
"The family doesn't talk about the two families, Tang County Ling is too polite", Min He laughed, and took out two notes from his arms with his right hand, "This is for Min Su'an, the younger brother of the She family, and he is > now." > Zhou, Tang County's order was directly handed over to him, and since then, the trade with Longmen Xi has been bothered by the Tang County order, but Tang County's order can also rest assured, this matter has not let you work in vain, and you have 30% of the profits."
"Steward Min, how is this ......".
"This matter has been decided, Tang County's order should not be rejected anymore", Min He smiled and helped Tang Cheng's arm, "In this way, it can really be called sharing weal and woe, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other."
"Since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Steward Min."
Seeing that Tang Cheng was so governor, Min He patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "As for this second letter, it is handed over to >> Prefecture Don't drive Anruo Haiti, if Niu Envoy Jun really has a corrupt matter, he should be temporarily retained by this person, and Tang County will order him to meet him."
After putting away the two letters, the two said goodbye with a smile, and when Tang Cheng turned around to leave, Min He specially instructed him again, "It's cold and cold, Tang County doesn't have to rush too much on the way back, just pay the money."
"Okay", Tang Cheng smiled when he heard this, bowed to Min He and turned around.
Compared with the wind and rain of the time and place, the master and servant on the way back from Jinyang were too relaxed, Tang Cheng refused to ride a horse, and spent a lot of money to hire a best Xuan car from the car dealer in the city to sit all the way back, the Xuan car is wide, with a built-in fire cage, and the warm Shanghao Sanle pulp in the fire cage evaporates from time to time with a slightly sweet aroma of wine, soaked in such warmth and comfort, and the bitter sins that Laifu suffered when he thinks about it again are really like a world away.
All the way back to >> Zhou, just got off in Huairong City, the master and servant heard a hot discussion in the streets and alleys of the city of the explosive news that Niu Zude, who had been in charge of >> Prefecture for several years, had been suspended from his post by the people sent by the Taoist government for corruption, and at present, only the flying tickets and cash found in his house have reached more than 1.8 million yuan, and there are still no less than a dozen land deeds and house deeds.
Facing the knowing smile from Laifu, Tang Cheng couldn't laugh a little, listening to the righteous indignation of the people next to him talking about Niu Zude's greed and the wisdom of observing the adult, all his emotions only turned into a low sigh.
It's all just a deal!
