Chapter 581: I Will Live Up to the Divine Trust
"Chen Yushi, we heard from the Governor that you are going to return to Beijing in the near future, right?" Gonggong Li opened the curtain of the sedan chair.
Chen Letian nodded and said, "Back to Master Li, yes, I was packing my luggage at home this morning, and I was about to leave, if the person who came to give the order was a moment late, the kid might have left." ”
Gonggong Li nodded, and suddenly said solemnly: "Chen Yushi, our family is touched by His Majesty's light, it seems to be a little higher in front of you, Chen Yushi can't call himself a kid, our family can't afford it." ”
Chen Letian was stunned: "Yes, yes, the student knows." ”
"The students are not right either. Gonggong Li was still serious: "Chen Yushi should call himself his own official." The Shu land appointed by His Majesty has full authority to deal with the imperial history. ”
"Ben..." Chen Letian felt too awkward, and after eating a few times, he said: "This official... Understood, Master Xie Li. ”
"Hey, that's right, Chen Yushi next has to mobilize the personnel of the entire Shu to deal with the affairs of the people of Bashu Road and complaints, the matter is very heavy, big and small things are decided by Lord Chen, Chen Letian must care about the people, but also have the prestige of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Li Gonggong spoke earnestly.
Chen Letian heard that this was Gonggong Li's advice to himself, not a ridicule of his background, let alone a contempt for him as a temporary official, but a real advice, and it may even be that His Majesty instructed him to tell Chen Letian. A person who has never stepped into officialdom, of course, does not understand all of this, maybe he knows the solution to the problem, but the handling methods of the intermediate as an official still need to be mentioned. Gonggong Li's reminder immediately made Chen Letian understand that from now on, he has to look like a royal historian, and he can't laugh anymore.
"How long is it, Chen Yushi?" Gonggong Li sat in a sedan chair and was a little bored.
"It's about half an hour smaller. Chen Letian replied.
"Then I'll sleep first, Chen Yushi, you can also get on the sedan chair to rest, what do you say after me. ”
"Yes. Chen Letian obediently returned to sit in another sedan chair.
It's hard to sit on it, and I always feel like I'm going to be thrown out.
But now that he had a rare opportunity to be alone, he just thought about the situation he was facing.
When he was pulled by the governor to his knees in front of the eunuch who announced the decree, when he heard Chen Letian's five words of receiving the decree, his brain was confused.
He never dreamed that there would be a holy decree for him to take it, at least at the moment he definitely didn't expect it.
When he knelt down to listen to the order, he was nervous. What holy decree can Your Majesty give him? Accuse him of meddling in Shudi? Or praise him for serving the country and the people in Shudi?
But Chen Letian never dreamed that His Majesty would assign him such an arduous task, leading the ten imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory, uniting the Shu Prince's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, and handling the cases of the people of Shu against their respective local officials in an arbitrary manner.
Suddenly, he became the prime minister of Bashu Dao, and he was also the leader of the 300 forward battalions of the Northern Army who were about to suppress the bandits.
Chen Letian didn't know, but he knew that he was not an official, he could only be regarded as an official, but because he was appointed by His Majesty's holy decree to specialize in supervising this matter, he had more power in real power than a third- or fourth-grade official like the governor.
Therefore, when the decree was read, Chen Lotian understood what His Majesty wanted to do, and he was deeply impressed by the foresight of His Majesty and the imperial court.
Shu Di has come to the current situation, even he, the initiator, has not thought of a way to break the situation, the only thing he can be sure of is that Shu will definitely be better in the future, after all, after the big turmoil, whether it is the officials themselves or the people, they will pay attention, the former has convergence, and the latter has thinking.
But he never thought that the imperial court would take advantage of his fame in Shu, so he asked him to do it directly.
If you think about it seriously, I am afraid that there is no one more suitable for the future.
In the sedan chair, Chen Letian thought about this, and his heart gradually stabilized.
Well, not bad.
This big pie fell on my head, and I must make good use of it, and I can't waste this opportunity. We must appease the hearts of the people of Shudi.
From the original initiator to the current one who solves the new problems of his own making, there are dangers and opportunities.
The two sedan chairs finally arrived at the door of Chen Letian's new house, if it weren't for Li Xuan'er to buy a house here, there would be no place to receive Gonggong Li now.
The guards at the door felt a little strange when they saw the two sedan chairs coming to their door. But when I saw these two sedan chairs, I knew at a glance that they were not ordinary sedan chairs, and the people sitting in them would not be ordinary people.
Chen Letian jumped out of it without waiting for the sedan chair to stop, came to Grandpa Li's sedan chair, snatched the work of Grandpa Li's forbidden army guards, and opened the curtain for Grandpa Li: "Grandpa Li, please." ”
Gonggong Li stepped off the sedan chair and walked into the house, along the way, Chen Letian gave Feng Shan and Liu Daming a look, they immediately knew that it was a distinguished guest, and quickly ordered the next person to bring tea and water.
Sitting down in the main hall, Gonggong Li drank tea, his eyes swept over the people and things in the main hall, and said leisurely: "Chen Yushi's house is newly bought, right?"
Chen Letian said: "Lord Li is really discerning, he only moved here a few days ago, and everything was done." As he spoke, the servant brought up a tray covered with a red cloth, Chen Letian stood up and took the tray and handed it to both hands: "Lord Li, boy... The official was rude before, and Lord Li has worked hard all the way, and I hope that Lord Li will not be polite. ”
Gonggong Li stared at the wooden box covered with red cloth for a long time, and then turned his head to Chen Letian and said: "Chen Yushi is polite, this is not necessary, what are we doing here, we can't make mistakes ourselves." ”
Push away Chen Letian's plate.
Chen Letian said: "Lord Li's words are wrong, this is a little bit of the official's heart. It's like the official invited Master Li to have a drink and a meal, this is not illegal anywhere, even if His Majesty knows about it, he will never blame the official. Master Li, you're welcome. Saying that, Chen Letian forcibly turned the wooden pallet upside down, wrapped the silver two without revealing the silver taels, and handed it to Gonggong Li with both hands.
Gonggong Li smiled, no longer refused, and asked the accompanying eunuch beside him to accept the silver taels.
The next two chatted for a while, but in fact, there were only two people in the main hall.
The entourage was driven away.
The servants of Chen Letian's family were also waved away by Chen Letian.
Gonggong Li stood up and said, "Chen Letian received His Majesty's secret order. ”
Chen Letian immediately knelt down and said, "The minister accepts the order." ”
Chen Letian, I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, you must not abuse your private power, and you must not live up to my expectations.
......
There are ten royal historians to assist you, and you must consult with them before you decide.
Chin this.
"Commandment. Chen Letian kowtowed three times, and then stood up.
Li Gonggong said in a word, and arched his hand: "Chen Yushi, Your Majesty asked me to tell you, let Yushi check and balance you, not because I don't worry about you, but because I am afraid that you are young and vigorous and do things without consideration, you must understand Your Majesty's good intentions." ”
Chen Letian said: "This official knows that this official will live up to the trust of the saint, and he will definitely do things well, and he will not make random decisions when he encounters things." ”
