Chapter 70: Don't hurt the peace
Lee Qin-jae has no intention of grudging with anyone, and a person who lives a small life in peace will never take the initiative to make his life too exciting.
Because wonderful means turbulent.
Today an enemy comes to the door, and tomorrow he stabs him in the back or something.
If life is like this, is it still called living? It's obviously a river and lake.
Li Qinzai doesn't want to grudge with Wu Yuanshuang, this guy is the brother of Empress Wu, if there is such an enemy for some reason, he will be the one for the rest of his life, he will be the one who will be stimulated, and it will never be him.
Wang Xu stood in front of Li Qinzai, so worried: "Young Eunuch Li, please help us, if the incident happens, I am afraid that many officials and craftsmen will be imprisoned and questioned." ”
"What did Wu Yuanshuang and Sun Xinlan do, what do you have to do?"
Wang Xu said sadly: "After the incident, the DPRK and China will inevitably investigate, no matter who investigates, Wu Yuanshuang will definitely not dare to investigate further, in this way, of course, the officials and craftsmen in the ordnance prison must be found out and convicted, otherwise how to explain to Your Majesty?" ”
Li Qinzai was shocked: "Wu Yuanshuang is just a young eunuch in the Shaofu, and he can actually cover the sky with one hand?" ”
Wang continued to sigh: "Of course he can't cover the sky, but his sister can." ”
Li Qinzai had nothing to say.
I heard Li Tao say that after the beginning of spring this year, Li Zhi has been guilty of wind dizziness, and Empress Wu writes and approves the government on weekdays.
No one dared to say whether the recital approved by Empress Wu was the meaning of the Son of Heaven or herself.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she covers the sky with one hand.
If she has the heart to protect the shortcomings of the martial arts, it is really difficult to say the direction of the ordnance superintendent.
After all, Empress Wu has just become the queen not long ago, not to talk about feelings, but only interests, at this time, she trusts and needs the help of her mother's family the most, if something happens to her mother's family, do you expect her to enforce the law impartially?
Maybe, after all, Empress Wu's courage to do things is not inferior to Xu Mei, otherwise the only empress of the ages will not be able to take her turn.
But does Lee Chin-jae dare to bet?
Li Qinzai didn't dare to bet.
Big, as for gambling your net worth and life?
Li Qinzai is the largest of the officials in charge of the Ordnance Supervisor, and Wang Xu has said so seriously that Li Qinzai can't care about it.
After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai said slowly: "This is suppressed in advance, and it cannot be publicized." ”
Wang Xu hurriedly nodded in response.
Li Qinzai said again: "You don't have to worry about other things, I'll solve it." ”
Wang Xu was so overjoyed that he almost knelt down.
After sending Wang Xu away, Li Qinzai sat in the side hall for a long time without moving.
Since he has become a young eunuch, there are some responsibilities that cannot be shirked, and of course Li Qinzai understands the way of the official oil, and no one can do anything to him if he pushes everything.
But Li Qinzai is not an official after all, he can't watch the officials of the Ordnance Prison innocently implicated, after all, they are all his subordinates.
After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai called Wu Tong.
"Are there any recent holidays?" Li Qinzai asked.
Wu Tong was stunned, and then immediately said: "Fifth Shaolang, it looks like the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming." ”
"Mid-Autumn Festival? Good, good festival. ”
Immediately, Li Qinzai said: "Prepare a famous post for me, prepare a gift in the house, and give a copy to the acquaintances and elders in Chang'an City, it doesn't have to be too valuable, just get your heart." ”
"Yes. Arrangements have been made in the government for this matter. ”
Li Qinzai said: "In addition, prepare a separate name post, and my title on the name post only notes 'Weapons Supervisor Young Eunuch', and I will also give a gift to Wu Yuanshuang, the young eunuch of the Shaofu." ”
Wu Tong was stunned: "You also have a relationship with the young eunuch of the Shaofu?" It's a miscalculation, so I'm going to prepare. ”
Li Qinzai didn't explain, but just advised: "Remember the title on the name post, this is very important." ”
Wu Tong didn't understand why Wu Shaolang deliberately emphasized the title on the post, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately stepped back and complied.
…………
Wu Yuanshuang has been a young eunuch of the Shaofu for less than a year, and he is considered a new official.
Before this, Wu Yuanshuang was just a Sihu from Anzhou who joined the army, what kind of official is "Sihu joining the army"? In layman's terms, it is the person who manages the household registration and looks at the warehouse, from the sesame official of the seven products.
The half-sister Wu suddenly became the queen one day, and then someone came from Chang'an, respectfully invited him to Chang'an, and gave him the official position of a young eunuch in the Shaofu.
A seven-rank petty official who no one cares about suddenly came to the power center of the capital, holding huge power in his hands, as well as those rolling financial resources that can't be stopped......
Wu Yuanshuang knew that all this change was because of his half-sister.
After coming to Chang'an to take office, Wu Yuanshuang entered the palace to meet Empress Wu.
She was more beautiful and more mature than before, but she only sat upright in the hall, dozens of paces away from him, and only the outline of her face and her cold and haughty tone could be seen from a distance.
Wu Yuanshuang knew that this sister, who had been bullied by him badly, was now unattainable, and I don't know if she had completely let go of the grievances back then.
Greeting him like a loyal courtier, and saying a few words about the trivial matters at home that seemed to have been rehearsed in advance, Wu Yuanshuang left the Taiji Palace tremblingly.
When the name and fortune are piled up in front of you, few people can resist the temptation.
So Wu Yuanshuang gradually changed a little, he no longer trembled, he began to stretch out his hand, asking for fame and profit.
He regards himself as a relative of the Heavenly Family, is sought after and respected everywhere, and enjoys extraordinary treatment like a royal family member everywhere.
However, when the name of Li Qinzai, the grandson of the British Gong, and the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts were delivered to the mansion, Wu Yuanshuang was still slightly surprised.
The British Duke is almost the first person in the DPRK and China.
After the death of the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, whether in the court or in the army, the status of the British Duke is absolutely extraordinary, deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, and the glory of the saints is unmatched in the world.
I saw that there was no mention of the title of "grandson of the British Gong" on the name poster, but the official name of "Minor Inspector of Ordnance" was written.
Wu Yuanshuang was puzzled at first, the first thing he was puzzled about was that Li Qinzai, the grandson of the British Gong, had no contact with him, and even each other was strangers who had never met each other, why did Hao Duanduan give him a Mid-Autumn Festival gift?
Secondly, why is the name of the official deliberately written on the name post, it is normal for large families to give gifts to each other these days, but the name post is very particular.
Either write about the family background, such as "British Mansion", or write nothing, whether there is a friendship or not, add a sentence such as "friends and greetings", which is also a way to get closer.
It is quite rare to write an official position, unless it is a big holiday and there is a business to discuss.
Wu Yuanshuang was also mixed with officialdom when he was in Anzhou, and he barely had some experience in officialdom.
After pondering carefully, he suddenly thought of the 20,000 catties of pig iron allocated by the Shaofu to the ordnance supervisor half a month ago, and then looked at the name of the ordnance supervisor on the name post.
Wu Yuanshuang suddenly seemed to understand something, and his face instantly became ugly.
is worthy of being a son of the Guogong Mansion, I only heard that he was a notorious bastard before, but I didn't expect to be so clever.
gave a polite gift, didn't say a word, but like a close friend for many years, as a heavyweight of the grandson of the British princess, he took the initiative to post to him, the young eunuch of the Shaofu who had just come to Chang'an.
What does this mean?
The face is enough, and the steps are left to you, neither hurting the peace, nor offending people.
However, do you know what the official name on the name card means?
20,000 catties of pig iron, you'd better have an explanation, don't be embarrassed, everyone is a person who can directly enter the palace to face the king, and it doesn't look good to tear your face.
This is the subtext on Li Qinzai's famous post.
Wu Yuanshuang understood.
Clever, indeed clever.
There is Empress Wu behind Wu Yuanshuang, but there is also a British Duke behind Li Qinzai, if everyone really tears their faces, and things get bigger, Empress Wu may secretly favor him, but what about the Son of Heaven?
There is a thing in the world called "Wang Fa", Wu Yuanshuang is called greedy ink, he is digging the corner of Tang imperialism, if things are in front of the Son of Heaven, it is definitely Wu Yuanshuang who suffers.
Li Qinzai has enough face, and he is obscure enough to do things, but Wu Yuanshuang still feels angry from the bottom of his heart, at this moment, he should not be called Wu Yuanshuang, he should be called Wu Bushuang.
The face was given, but Wu Yuanshuang's interests were moved.
In 20,000 catties of pig iron, there is at least half of the ore, that is to say, Wu Yuanshuang should have earned 10,000 catties of pig iron, and this famous post that Li Qinzai threw at the door instantly blew his interests away.
How can you not be angry?
Anger is anger, but reason prevails in the end.
Li Qinzai only had a famous post, which made Wu Yuanshuang completely passive, he knew very well that he should give Li Qinzai an explanation, otherwise it would be difficult for things to end.
If he had known that His Majesty would appoint this goods as the young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, Wu Yuanshuang would not have the idea of beating 20,000 catties of pig iron anyway, and even if he wanted to fight, at least he would have dragged Li Qinzai into the water first.
People are not as good as heaven, when the matter is done, the money is almost in the pocket, but Li Qinzai has fallen from the sky to become a young eunuch.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Yuanshuang finally made a decision.
"Someone, pass on the treasurer of the Shaofu, the 20,000 catties of pig iron that I gave to the ordnance supervisor half a month ago are insufficient, and then I will make up 10,000 catties for the ordnance supervisor."
"Let the housekeeper send my name card to Li Qinzai, the young superintendent of the Ordnance Prison, and return a generous gift."
