Chapter 325: Take off your boots and stay in office, the tide will ebb and go
Not long after Li Qinzai was appointed as the assassin, he was more like a policeman who handled cases under the official position of the assassin, which was also the original intention of Li Zhi to transfer him to the state, not to let him govern, but to investigate the case and make peace with the matter.
But the people of Bingzhou didn't know Li Qinzai's task, they only knew that this newcomer had done a lot of things for Bingzhou, and everything was a great good deed that benefited all the people and countless living people.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Qinzai gave the people of Bingzhou a way to live, and also gave the people of Bingzhou a future.
Suppress food prices, raise grain relief, and let the people get through the current difficulties.
The construction of reservoirs, the digging of ditches, the diversion of water from the Fen River, and the state will no longer suffer from drought, a future that can last for thousands of years.
For a short term, Li Qinzai's name has been deeply remembered in the hearts of the people.
The scene of 10,000 people kneeling to see each other off has never been seen not only by Li Qinzai, but also by Liu Asi and the Li family.
Such a scene was never seen even by the old man back then, and these people in front of him worshiped the five young men of the Li family.
Liu Asi and his subordinates were shocked by this scene, and their emotions were also infected, and they rode on horses one by one and straightened their waists, their faces were expressionless, but their faces were flushed, like javelins standing straight behind Li Qinzai, and they were honored.
After Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly picked up the two elders who were kneeling and said, "How dare the younger generation be a great gift for the elders and torture the younger generation." ”
The two elders refused to get up, broke free from Li Qinzai's support, and bowed to him three times uprightly, with respectful and pious expressions, as if they were worshipping the gods who came down from heaven.
Li Qinzai used some strength to help the two elders up, looked up at the crowd of black pressure, and said loudly: "Get up, you don't have to do this big gift!" ”
After Su Lao got up, tens of thousands of people followed suit.
An old man shed tears, holding Li Qinzai's hand and trembling uncontrollably, and swallowed more: "The old man has lived for decades, and he has seen a lot of natural and man-made disasters, this year is the most dangerous, the old man thought that he couldn't survive this year, but fortunately, Li Tingshi saved his life and gave the people of Bingzhou a way to live......"
"And the state has the rule of Li Thorn History, Li Min is very lucky, the Son of Heaven has the ability of Li Thorn History, and Sheji is very lucky!"
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "The elder is serious, Li Mou just did a few things at the behest of the Son of Heaven, so you don't have to hold me up too high." ”
Su Lao shook his head: "To live the lives of thousands of families, to make merits for thousands of years, what the Bodhisattva can't do, Li Tingshi has done it, and the people of the state have the eternal grace of the Assassin History, but there is nothing to repay, it is the great favor that the people owe you." ”
The two elders knelt down again with tears in their eyes, and the people also bowed silently.
"Is Li Tingshi willing to stay in office and join the state? The people are willing to enter the book of all the people to the Son of Heaven, and ask the Son of Heaven to plan for the people, and leave it to the state for a bright day. ”
Li Qinzai helped Su Lao up and said with a wry smile: "The Son of Heaven ...... me Sorry for the appointment. ”
Su Lao wiped away his tears, nodded and said: "Yes, such a capable minister as Li Tingshi, staying in office and merging the state is really humiliated, if Li Tingshi can dominate the court, it will be blessed in the world, not only in the state, the old and the people of the state can not be selfish." ”
The old man said respectfully: "The four counties under the jurisdiction of the state have been the Li Thorn Shi Lisheng Ancestral Hall, and the incense has been offered for generations. The old man is not talented, please take off his boots on behalf of the people of the state, and ask Li Tingshi to fulfill the wishes of the people. ”
The two elders stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and then one of the elders gently lifted Li Qinzai's right leg, and the other veteran took off the Qingyun official boots on Li Qinzai's feet.
After taking off the official boots, Su Lao held the official boots in both hands, held them high above his head, and showed them to the people.
Ten thousand people suddenly let out a landslide and tsunami-like cry: "Stay, stay." ”
"Meritorious achievements, blessings for eternity, thank Li Thorn for the grace of life!"
Take off the boots, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when the local officials leave office, the people have no choice but to leave the officials' boots, to show that the people hope that they will not stay in office.
This is the highest courtesy that an official can receive.
In the sonic cry, Li Qinzai looked around in a daze, and his eyes were red.
The water also carries the boat, and the water also overturns the boat.
At this moment, what he hears is the ebb and flow of the tide, and the voices that are most easily ignored by the history books are extremely real at the moment.
In Yin Yin's voice, Li Qinzai pursed his lips, bowed to the people, and did not get up for a long time.
Liu Asi and his subordinates were also moved to tears, and they dismounted one after another, pressing the knife and bowing down.
After the long farewell, Li Qinzai boarded the carriage, and the people consciously gave way to a road, knelt down and watched the carriage drift away.
Li Qinzai sat in the carriage, and his mind could not be calmed for a long time.
His soul seems to have undergone a thorough baptism, and everything he has done in Bingzhou these days, he originally only acted according to his conscience, but he did not expect that the people would remember his kindness deeply.
Everything makes sense.
He finally did something to show off to his children and grandchildren, and when he grew old and had children and grandchildren, he could tell his grandchildren stories with a smile, telling the true story of his youth.
There is no shining in this life, and this is the only thing that is to live up to this life and future generations.
…………
The carriage was bumpy, swaying, and finally arrived in Chang'an after more than ten days.
The familiar Chang'an City was in sight, Li Qinzai sat in the carriage and moved his long-sore arms and back, and exhaled a long breath: "Finally home......
After entering the city, Li Qinzai first went to the official office of the Ministry of Officials, handed over the official seal of the assassin history to the Ministry of Officials, and after leaving the official office, he went to the Taiji Palace.
After noon, Li Qinzai did not wait long in front of the palace gate, and soon a eunuch came out and respectfully led Li Qinzai into the palace gate.
In the Anren Palace, Li Qinzai saw Li Zhi again.
Entering the hall to salute, as soon as he bent down, Li Zhi quickly rushed over to support his arm, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Jing Chu is back, not bad!" ”
Li Qinzai still said with a straight look: "The ministers are ordered by His Majesty, and they are fortunate not to be dishonored in their appointments, so I will reply to Your Majesty." ”
Li Zhi seemed to be in a very happy mood, and said with a smile: "I know, I have listened to it, haha, Jing Chu is worthy of being a genius of the Tang Dynasty, any errand handed over to you can be done properly, this time the appointment of the state is particularly neat, I can't help but applaud you after seeing your performance." ”
"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister is just doing his duty." Li Qinzai said humbly.
Li Zhi shook his head: "If I change someone else, I'm afraid it's not as good as Jing Chu's ability, and it will be done with mud and water, which is also against my original intention." ”
"Only Jing Chu knows my intentions, this trip suppressed grain merchants, lowered grain prices, and also put an end to the corrupt officials and evil officials in Hedong Province in one fell swoop, eliminating the catastrophe of the year, the credit is not small, I am very fortunate at this time, fortunately, you were appointed as the assassin of the state, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no civil uprising."
Li Qinzai was praised by Li Zhi and blushed a little, after all, when he first went to work, he didn't have such a great and noble purpose, and he just had the mentality of completing the task.
Li Zhi smiled again: "When I returned to Chang'an at the beginning of the listening period, I sent all the people of the state to each other, and asked me to take off my boots?" ”
Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "Everything is the grace of the Son of Heaven, and the minister is just receiving it on behalf of the Son of Heaven." ”
Li Zhi sighed: "Take off your boots...... Since I ascended the throne, I have rarely heard of the local people performing this ceremony, but there have been a few cases when Zhenguan, and those are all officials who have great kindness to the local area, so they are eligible for this courtesy, to be honest, I really envy Jing Chu......
