Chapter 888: Evil Grows from the Side of the Gall
"Lord Cen, you know who the lower officials are, although he has been an official in the Li family, but he is a minor official, hey, I thought I could do something for the Li family, but the Li family is not destined to return to heaven in the end. This is not to come to the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty Shengming, the destiny of heaven, this is the prosperity of today's Tang Dynasty! Xia Guan thought, if he didn't come out and do something, wouldn't he be sorry for His Majesty's holy grace! Please take care of me. ”
"Well said, well said. Lord Chen, please come back! The text will be seriously considered. Cen Wenwen had a smile on his face, looking at the gift on the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Chen, please come here." A handsome young man sent the man out, but Cen Wenwen sighed softly, I don't know how much this kind of thing happened, since the imperial court announced that Cen Wenwen was the head, Pei Xuanji was supplemented, and presided over the first Jingcha of the Tang Dynasty, Cen Wenwen's mansion was lively. There is an endless stream of people coming and going every day.
"Huaiyu, look at how much silver money you have collected today. Tsk, it's a good thing for Your Majesty to raise the rank of official, but now it seems that these guys are taking money and giving gifts. Cen Wenwen looked at a small bag next to him, which was left on the chair after the person left just now, and it was also given to Cen Wenwen, which has an unspoken rule in officialdom, which is used to give gifts, if you don't accept it, you will say that the other party has lost something, so that both sides can get by.
"A hundred gold coins." After Qin Huaiyu sent the person to the dripping eaves, he picked up the money bag in the corner of the chair, weighed it with his hand, and said, "It's not that he is a wealthy official. ”
"A hundred gold coins, this is how many people can spend a lot of effort to earn back." Cen Wenwen said indifferently: "The emperor asked me to preside over Jingcha, but it made me rich." Put it away! These officials must have been accustomed to doing it there by the Li family or the former dynasty. Look, how many of those officials in the past came to this official to send money? ”
"If they knew that Lord Cen had received the money and would not do anything. I'm afraid that Lord Cen will be impeached together. Qin Huaiyu only knew at this time why Cen Wenwen wanted to let himself follow, on the one hand, it was to remind himself, but on the other hand, it was for Li Xin to see.
"Go back and send the money to Your Majesty." Cen Wen said without looking back: "My family only has one daughter and one son, what do you need so much money for, and now I only need to be a Tang official to be crowned a county official." They don't care about money. Huaiyu, do you know why? ”
"Your Majesty wants to divide the princes, so naturally you don't look down on this money." Qin Huaiyu said without thinking. Cheng Biting Jin's matter is spreading, although it is not the Central Plains, but in the end, it is a family inheritance, if he gives up his title because of the family inheritance, he is a fool!
"Not bad." Cen Wenwen suddenly thought of something and said, "I heard that Pei Lin went to Pei's house, hehe." It's a little interesting, that Pei Lin is also a smart person, just after entering the Tang Dynasty, he went to meet the King of Zhongshan, and wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and the King of Zhongshan was generous, so that he returned to the Pei family, tsk, now the Pei family is no longer his master. has already fallen on Pei Xuanji's head, and he will go to talk to Pei Xuanji. The thickness of the skin. It's shocking! ”
"The kid heard that Master Pei also worked as an official in the Li family back then, and then he returned to Datang unexpectedly." Qin Huaiyu thought for a while and said: "If Pei Lian knew that it was my Tang Dynasty who was the leader of the world, I am afraid that he would not know how much he regretted it, and he would have known that he should have been nicer to Master Pei." ”
"He's probably going to be disappointed." Cen Wenwen said nonchalantly. Pei Xuanji's ability may not be as strong as his Lao Tzu, but there is one thing that Pei Xuanji has, what kind of person should help. What kind of people can't help, he still has a clear distinction, especially people like Pei Lian.
Pei Xuanji did know this, so he sent Pei Lin out very respectfully, even though Pei Lin was extremely unhappy in his heart. His face was gloomy, but Pei Xuanji was still smiling, at least he didn't feel anything to outsiders.
"You offended Pei Lin this time." Li Dewu looked at his brother-in-law and said with some sighs: "I don't know what the emperor thinks, he actually asked you to participate in this errand that offended people." ”
"If the Pei family wants to prosper, it can only follow behind Your Majesty, otherwise, it will be eliminated by Your Majesty sooner or later. What's more, the main person in this matter is not me, but Lord Cen, and Lord Cen will handle this matter well. Pei Xuanji sighed, he is a relative, although he inherited Pei Shiju's title of duke, but in fact, he knows that his talent is not as good as his father, and it is also for Pei Shiju and Pei Fu to let himself participate in this matter. Only with enough merit can the Pei family not be looked down upon.
"But Pei Lone!" Li Dewu was still a little worried.
"If Your Majesty had used Pei Lin a long time ago, where would you need any Jingcha, so he is destined to be a character abandoned by His Majesty, such a character, do you still need to be afraid?" Pei Xuanji's expression was faint, and there was a faint hint of disdain, his talent was not as good as Pei Shiju, but he was not a fool, he naturally saw Pei Lian's situation in his eyes. If such a person provides convenience for him himself, I am afraid that he will be out of class. Pei Xuanji is not a fool.
"Let's go!" Li Dewu also nodded, looked at Pei Lian's back, and sighed softly.
Pei Lin in the distance spit viciously at Pei Fu, the old face showed a gloomy color, and there was a trace of madness, after listening to Cen Wenwen presiding over Jingcha these days, the heart that had sunk came back again, although Cen Wenwen was not from a family like Wei Yuancheng, but Cen Wenwen was kind and treated the officials below very well, he had never blushed, he was a typical moderate, such a person presided over Jingcha, which is enough to explain Li Xin's attitude.
Pei Lin thought that this was a signal, so he came to Pei Xuanji gradually, thinking about opening the opening from Pei Xuanji, but he didn't expect Pei Xuanji to look left and right, but he didn't answer his words, which suddenly made his heart cold, and he walked out of the Pei family gate with a trace of shame.
"Li Xin, you forced me, you have countless official positions in your hands, and you can divide the title at your disposal, so you look down on the old man so much, then don't blame me." Pei Lin looked at the majestic and solemn palace in the distance, his face hideous. He knew that if it weren't for Li Xin's instructions, whether it was Cen Wenwen or Pei Xuanji, he would never treat himself like this. Li Xin attaches great importance to this Jingcha and must have given some orders. As soon as he thought of this, Pei Lin suddenly felt evil. (To be continued.) )
