Bitter smile, Su Dingfang in addition to a bitter smile or bitterly smile Liuzhou Su Dingfang has never been there, but as a secretary of the ministry, Comrade Lao Su is still well aware of the new situation of the officials in that place, and he knows that the so-called Liuzhou Thorn History is actually not nameless, saying that it is the history of the Thorn, in fact, it is inferior to the small officials of the ninth rank in the Beijing officials, it is just to send him to death, as for who Liu Dake is in the Dubu Langzhong, Comrade Su also knows in his heart, it is obvious that Li Zhen's so-called sponsor Liu Dake is just under the banner of promotion, Blatantly exclude dissidents, it is true that the elimination of dissidents is something that every chief official has to do after taking office, but there is no such impatient law as Li Zhen, this is simply using the ministry as a gunman, but the question is whether he has the intention to do it, but it is very rare, after all, this is the first time Li Zhen has come to the ministry to do things, and Comrade Lao Su is not good not to give face, is it really going to be done, but he is a little embarrassed, at this time, Comrade Lao Su really doesn't know how to do it except for a wry smile.

Your Highness, is this two days in the evening? Su Dingfang saw that Li Zhen was just sitting upright with a smile and didn't say anything to urge, he really couldn't hold back, so he asked tentatively with a little embarrassment.

As soon as Su Dingfang's voice fell, Li Zhen immediately said with a smile: Su Shangshu, Liuzhou Thorn History has been vacant for two months, and government affairs cannot be delayed, Liuzhou's father is looking forward to the arrival of the new Thorn History, if it is delayed, I am afraid that the place will change, it will not be good, well, Liu Langzhong's promotion, although he has crossed two levels, but he has both talent and morality, it is the first choice for the imperial court to promote talents, Liuzhou can be taken care of by talents like Liu Dake, and the great governance is expected, and the father has a saying: Employing people should be eclectic, talent and virtue first, what does Su Shangshu think?

How is it? Li Zhen has said everything to this point, and how else can Su Dingfang work with Li Zhen, he knows what kind of person Li Zhen is, and he also knows that at this time, the princes have reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, but seeing that Li Zhen has moved out a lot of big truths, he pushed Liu Dake into the fire pit, and he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating, and secretly made up his mind in his heart. Maybe the next Liuzhou assassin will be him Su Dingfang himself.

Well, what His Royal Highness said is very true, but the position of assassin is a local official, but the procedures are a little cumbersome, if this is good, this chapter will be explained by the official first, and everything will be done according to the procedure, as for the appointment of Chen and Li, the left and right are the internal adjustments of the Criminal Department, and His Royal Highness can do it himself, just prepare a case for this official, so it can be done? Su Dingfang frowned and thought for a while, but he still didn't dare to do what Li Zhen wanted, and planned to leave a room for the master behind Liu Dake.

The reason why Li Zhen wants to rectify Liu Dake is naturally not only to vacate the position of Dubu Langzhong to install his own people, but also to kill a hundred people, naturally he refuses to leave any room, at this time, seeing Su Dingfang hesitating, he immediately laughed and said: Lord Su, we are officials, beware of the people, and now there is no one to control the government affairs of Liuzhou, if there is really a mess, it must not be played, special matter, it must be done specially, this king thinks that no one in Liuzhou has anyone to take care of, and his heart is uneasy.

As soon as Li Zhen's words came out, Su Dingfang was forced into a corner, and there was no way back Liuzhou didn't have an accident, once something happened, then this responsibility would have to be borne by his old Su, the trouble was that the wild land in Liuzhou would be a little chaotic for three days, and those things that were burned and plundered were gone, and Su Dingfang didn't want to carry this responsibility, and he couldn't afford it. It really made Su Dingfang depressed, but he was helpless, he rolled his eyes at Li Zhen angrily, got up and walked to the copywriter, picked up the brush, and some of them were unwilling to sign their own names behind the two guarantees, and then handed it to Li Zhen with a bitter face, and snorted unhappily: Take it.

The fathers and villagers of Liuzhou on behalf of this king are grateful to Su Shangshu. As soon as the matter is done, Li Zhen will not care about the attitude of Comrade Su Lao, haha smiled, stretched out his hand to take the two guarantees, and did not stuff them into his big sleeves, in front of Su Dingfang, he handed it to Li Qianhe, the servant of the ministry who was accompanying him, and said with a smile: Li Shilang, this matter is important, do not delay, and do it as soon as possible.

Li Qianhe held back a smile, bowed down to take the fold in Li Zhen's hand, and replied respectfully: Yes, the lower officials obey the order, and the ticket can be issued today.

Well, that's good. Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and arched his hand to Su Dingfang with a smile: There is Lao Su Shangshu, this king has just taken over the criminal department, and there are still some hands that have not been straightened out, so I won't bother you too much, and I will leave. As soon as the words fell, he didn't look at Su Dingfang's black face, and was about to go out as soon as he turned around.

Your Highness, please stay. Su Dingfang saw that Li Zhen was about to leave when he got a bargain, and he was unhappy with the boss in his heart, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly spoke out to stop him.

Is there anything else to do, Lord Su, please say it, this king will listen. Although Li Zhen didn't know what Su Dingfang's intention was, she still replied politely.

The corners of Su Dingfang's mouth curved, and a rather embarrassing smile appeared on his old face, and he said: It's not a big deal, well, it's just that the official of the Xiangzhou case is a little curious, and he wants to hear what regulations His Highness has?

Haha, this Lao Su is really a master who refuses to suffer, this is to repay and repay. Li Zhenzi knew what Su Dingfang was worried about, but first, this matter was still undecided, and secondly, it was a matter of confidentiality, Li Zhenzi would not elaborate, but smiled indifferently and said: This king just knew about such a case, and there is no statute to speak of, so I don't think the problem is too big.

Li Zhen's words sounded rough and didn't have much content, but in fact, this was telling Su Dingfang that if he Li Zhen came to investigate the case, the problem of the officials was not big, and Comrade Su had been in the officialdom for a long time, so he could naturally hear the subtext of this, hehe smiled, and he didn't say more, and returned the salute: Your Highness is busy, and the official doesn't dare to delay more, you can go.

Li Zhen smiled, didn't postpone any longer, and was accompanied by Li Qianhe and other officials of the Ministry of Officials, but he did not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment not far away, but led Yingda and others straight out of the gate of Shangshu Province, got into the carriage, and went to the south of the city

Five miles south of Chang'an City is where the Lower Horse Tomb is, most of the magnates of the Tang Dynasty live here, even if the eldest grandson family who lives in the city also has a small manor here, the rest of the estates such as Li Jing, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Cheng Zhijie and other magnates are in this Xiamaling area, can be among the people in this list, not the rich and noble can not get, of course, most of these manors are new in the early Tang Dynasty, although it lasted nearly 30 years, but still lack the sense of vicissitudes of history, most of them are still new, Only located on the west side of the Lower Horse Tomb several old dock forts have a sense of history, and here is the location of the five major counties of Jingshi Du, Wei, Huangfu, Song and Yang, one of the largest dock forts is the Jingzhao Du family's other courtyard Jingzhao Du family's base camp in Duling, here the dock fort is just the Du family for the officials to go to and from work when resting, the area is actually not too big, compared to Li Ji and others who often hundreds of acres of Zhuangzi, the total area of the Du family's dock fort is only more than 80 acres, deduct four, After fifty acres of grain fields, the main body of the dock fort is only about thirty acres, which is not big, but the slightly blackened stone wall and the tall old locust tree in the dock fort all reveal the antique atmosphere, which is the heritage of the Du family's thousand-year-old family, which can be compared with the house of the nouveau riche.

In the back garden of Dujiawu Fort, there is an ancient pavilion Yiqu Pavilion that was erected in the early Han Dynasty, at this time, Du Xuandao, the modern head of the Du family in a cyan robe, is kneeling on the mat in the pavilion, holding a sunspot in his hand, looking at the chess game on a few pieces with a solemn face, and sitting on the opposite side is a young man with a delicate face, this person is Du Xuandao's most beloved young son Du Ping, who has just turned sixteen years old at the time, has not yet stepped into the Huan Sea, originally studied hard in the old house of Du Ling, received a message from Du Xuandao a few days ago, and rushed to the dock fort, Because Du Xuandao only served as an idle doctor, except for the court, there was no need to sit on duty, and the father and son played chess for fun in this dock fort.

Master, His Royal Highness King Yue has arrived outside the castle gate, please give me advice. Just when Du Xuandao was thinking about the chess game, the housekeeper hurriedly walked into the pavilion, bowed down, and reported softly.

Oh, I know, open the middle door, and the old man will go to greet him. Du Xuandao was not surprised at all, he didn't raise his head, but just gave an indifferent order, and then threw the sunspot in his hand onto the chessboard, got up with a smile, and looked at Du Pingdao very lovingly: Ping'er's chess skills have made great progress, and this game is lost for his father.

The father is overrated, and the child is just lucky. Du Ping's young face did not show the slightest color in the slightest from his father's praise, but only bowed down and replied modestly.

Hahaha, that's it, now that His Royal Highness King Yue has arrived, Ping'er will go to see the world with his father. Du Xuandao laughed and patted Du Ping's shoulder, and ordered with a casual look.

Although Du Ping is calm by nature, but after all, he is still a teenager, and he has the same blood of a teenager, as soon as he heard that he could meet Li Zhen, the famous Yue King who shocked the world, his face instantly flushed with excitement, and he got up in a hurry, and replied with a little nervousness: Yes, the child obeys.

Although Du Xuandao has always been low-key, he is an out-and-out old fox, the reason why he called his young son Du Ping this time is naturally to wait for Li Zhen's arrival, as for whether to send Du Ping to Li Zhen and when to send it, Du Xuandao has not yet made up his final decision, at this time seeing Du Ping is so excited that he is about to see Li Zhen, his heart is also quite emotional, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't even give Du Ping any orders, just smiled and patted Du Ping's shoulder, and strode to the front yard, Du Ping lost his mind slightly, Soon woke up, and hurriedly followed, but the extremely steady steps on weekdays actually had a little more sense of floating.

See His Royal Highness King Yue. As soon as Du Xuandao walked out of the gate of the dock fort, he saw Li Zhen standing beside the carriage with a smile in front of him, and hurriedly walked over, bowed and clasped his fists in salute.

Du Lao, Xiao Wang took the liberty to come, there was a lot of disturbance, and he also looked at Haihan. Li Zhen returned the salute with a smile and greeted him very politely.

Du Xuandao is a child of the family, and he is very familiar with etiquette and other greetings, and he waved his hand with a smile and said: Your Highness is polite, you can come, the old decay is full of snail dwelling, it is an honor, please inside.

Nagging. Li Zhen raised his feet to leave, but stopped again, looked at Du Ping with interest, and asked with a smile: Old Du, this young talent is

This is the dog Dupin. Du Xuandao also seemed to have just woken up, and pulled the corner of Du Ping's clothes and said: Ping'er, I haven't seen His Royal Highness King Yue soon.

Du Ping was originally secretly looking at Li Zhen, but when he heard his father's prompt, he hurriedly rushed forward to see Li Zhen with a big gift: Under Du Ping, knock to see His Royal Highness King Yue.

Du Ping has no official body, he saw Li Zhen had to kneel and bow, but Li Zhen naturally would not let him kneel, haha smiled, stepped forward, held Du Ping's hand, and said with a smile: There is no need to be so, there is not much difference between you and me, this king will hold a big one, call for a virtuous brother, well, this king came in a hurry today, I don't know that the virtuous brother is also here, this jade pendant will be a meeting gift. Li Zhen reached out and pulled the jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into Du Ping's hand with a smile on her face.

I don't dare to resign, thank you for your kindness. Du Ping was not pretentious, took the jade pendant with both hands, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully.

Du Xuandao's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that the jade pendant was also worth a thousand gold, and seeing that Li Zhen gave this thing to Du Ping casually, his heart moved, but he didn't stop talking, but said with a smile: The little dog is formless, let His Highness smile, His Highness invites him to sit in the house.

Okay, hehe, Xiao Wang is in a hurry, and he hasn't eaten yet, so he can't say it, so he has to nag Du Lao with a thick face. Li Zhen smiled, said a casual word, raised his feet and walked to the dock fort.

It should be, it should be, His Royal Highness is so busy with state affairs that he forgets to sleep and eat, and he is extremely admired by the old age. Du Xuandao smiled and agreed, and accompanied Li Zhen to the castle

The great family is the great family, all the things for entertainment are always prepared, Li Zhen and the others just sat down, a light of tea has not yet been drunk, the banquet is prepared with four meat and four vegetarian exquisite dishes, a jar of wine, neither seems extravagant, but also not shabby, it can be seen that the people of Du Fu are attentive.

If Du Xuandao is an old fox, Li Zhen is definitely an out-and-out little fox who has become a fine little fox, these two foxes get together to talk about the world, it is really everything in the north and south, ancient and modern China and foreign countries are everything, but no one talks about the current political situation, and no one goes to mention the destruction of the Du family branch in Longzhou, the guests and hosts laugh and talk very happily, if the people who don't know are here, I am afraid that I will think that this old and young are friends for many years, but who knows that these two foxes are constantly testing each other's hole cards, and constantly hide his true thoughts, that fun is only clear to the parties themselves, at least Du Ping, who is sitting with him, can't see it, he has already been completely conquered by Li Zhen's extensive knowledge, and his eyes are full of admiration stars when he looks at Li Zhen.

Full of wine and food, and enough gossip, Li Zhen turned to the topic with a smile: Du Laoshi is a model of virtue and talent in my dynasty, full of officials, all sons are court officials, and his father once had a cloud: I am fortunate that the Tang Dynasty can get the help of the Du family. Xiao Wang thought so.

Li Zhen's words are naturally hidden, that means, if I, Li Zhen, are on the throne, I will never change the situation of Li Shimin's reuse of the Guanlong nobles, which Du Xuandao understands, but he did not react, just smiled and shook his hand and said humbly: Your Royal Highness is too presedent, too reputable, the old man really dare not be, as a person of the Tang Dynasty, he should do his best for the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and he should not be so praised by His Royal Highness.

Ha, this old fox hasn't taken the bait yet, hey, it's funny! Li Zhen can understand the meaning of Du Xuandao's words, then even if Li Zhen agrees to this matter, it is just his duty, it is not a promise, these words are full of the self-satisfaction of the thousand-year-old family, and Li Zhen is angry and funny in his heart, but Li Zhen's acting skills are good, and he will not show any flaws, haha smiled and said: The duty is good, only the duty shows the true temperament, Du Lao's mind is really admired by this king, and today I can ask Du Lao for some benefits, and Xiao Wang Sansheng is fortunate to be. Speaking of which, he didn't give Du Xuandao a chance to speak, looked sideways at Du Ping, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and asked with a smile: What did Du Xian's brother learn? Do you have any plans to join the company?

Du Pingzheng listened with relish, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to suddenly ask his head, and he was a little flustered for a while, but fortunately, the children of the family had a deep foundation, so he hurriedly bowed down, took the opportunity to stabilize his mentality, and replied in a humble tone: Back to His Royal Highness, I was fortunate to have the "Four Books and Five Classics" advocated by His Royal Highness back then.

Oh? It's rare, it's rare, the virtuous brother can know the "Four Books and Five Classics", and he should be a curator, fortunately, Xiao Wang's house is now empty, and there is a great lack of manpower. Li Zhen stroked his palm and smiled, and threw out a thick olive branch The record of the prince's mansion to join the army is from the official rank of the sixth grade, this starting point is extremely high, once you boil up some qualifications, you can immediately jump to the position of the five-grade courtier, compared to the positions of Du Ping's brothers, not to mention that Li Zhen is the one who has the highest call to enter the East Palace, once Li Zhen enters the East Palace, under the rising tide, Du Ping will immediately become the upstart of the court, such a good thing is difficult to find with a lantern, Rao is Du Ping is also a calm person, When he heard this, his face immediately flushed, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth and agree, but fortunately, he was still stable, and he didn't speak immediately, but looked at his own son.

How did Du Xuandao not know that the purpose of Li Zhen's coming here was not only to return the feelings of the previous early dynasty, but more importantly, to win over his Du family, but in the face of the temptation of such a high position as joining the army, Du Xuandao also felt that the temptation was not small, but Du Xuandao was an old man after all, and he was very calm, and he did not express his position directly, but said with a smile: Thank you for the kindness of Your Highness, but the dog is still young, and he is suddenly in a high position, and he is afraid of being discussed by the characters. And then go to find His Highness?

Of course, Brother Du Xian is only eight buckets high, a little fame, easy to hear, Xiao Wang is waiting for good news, hehe, it's not too early, Xiao Wang won't bother much, farewell, farewell. Li Zhen's words have been passed on, as for whether he can kidnap Du Ping to his own mansion, Li Zhen actually doesn't care, seeing Du Xuandao say this, he got off the donkey, got up and said goodbye with a smile.

Li Zhen left in a chic manner, but Du Ping was angry, and as soon as Li Zhen was sent away, the father and son had just turned back to the hall, and before they had time to sit down, Du Ping asked a little depressedly: Father, why

Well. The smile on Du Xuandao's face was long gone, he calmed his face, raised his hand, signaled Du Ping to shut up, frowned and thought for a long time, and then sighed and said: This matter is not something you can predict, and you have to talk nonsense outside.

Yes, Father. Although Du Ping was not very happy in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, and replied respectfully.

That's it, Ping'er, you are not small, and you should also know the current situation, it is not the right time to enter the Yue Palace, rest assured, your father will not let you suffer, go down. Du Xuandao knew what Du Ping was thinking in his heart, and he couldn't bear to see his beloved son sad, so he vaguely mentioned it.

Yes, the child understood. Du Ping is definitely a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he came to his senses, secretly called it a fluke, and hurriedly replied and withdrew from the hall.

Come on, prepare the car, the old man wants to go to the Changsun Mansion and his party! After Du Ping retreated, Du Xuandao pondered silently for a long time, and suddenly shouted loudly, which immediately alarmed the whole house
