Chapter 1164: A Clear Conscience

Two people in the next generation may have very different understandings of the same thing.

At this moment, Liu Renliang was thinking about it, the little rabbit cub and the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting.

What Li Qinzai thought to himself was that the calf was finished, and the meat bun beat the dog.

Two thoughts, five animals.

Chinese is so vast and wonderful.

Both of them held the brocade box in their hands and did not let go, pulling each other very seriously.

Li Qinzai kept in mind the purpose of his visit today, he came to test Liu Renliang and find out if he was behind his back to make a trick for Li Tao and make a fuss about deserters.

The two families were already not dealing with each other, how could Li Qinzai give him such a valuable gift.

turned around and beat Steward Wu, and the old loser killed him.

Liu Renliang didn't know why, he competed with this brocade box, and he didn't let go.

I don't want the dignity of the Qing officials, I like money so much, you go to embezzle.

"Uncle Liu, today is the kid who made a mistake and apologizes to you......" Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile: "The people below don't know how to do things, they took the wrong gift, and the kid will go to clean him up when he turns around, you are here...... Can you let it go? ”

Liu Renliang said calmly: "The kid is too rude, everyone has entered the door, and the ceremony has taken out his hand, how can there be any reason to take it back?" If it spreads all over Chang'an City, do you want the face of Li Jungong anymore? ”

"Face? What do I want that thing for......" Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "To be precise, the kid went to the wrong door today, I actually want to visit that person...... Well, Grandpa Cheng's house, that's right, the kid is planning to visit Grandpa Cheng, I'm really sorry, the doors of the two families look too similar. ”

Liu Renliang smiled: "The door of the Cheng family is magnificent, and the door of the old man's house is shabby, this can also be mistaken, does the kid use a little bit of thought to talk nonsense?" ”

Li Qinzai blinked, and was about to make up a more reasonable nonsense, but Liu Renliang suddenly exerted his strength, and with a whoosh, the brocade box fell into his hands.

Looking at the empty hands, Li Qinzai sighed.

Well, don't make up any nonsense, it's completely finished.

Liu Renliang opened the brocade box, looked at the dozen or so gems of various colors inside, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, Li Jungong has a heart, it's worth a lot of money, right?" I taught you to break the bank, but the old man was disrespectful, so he reluctantly accepted it, haha. ”

Li Qinzai laughed with him, and began to hesitate to pick up the table and smash Liu Renliang's dog head and snatch back his brocade box.

Liu Renliang immediately called his subordinates and instructed them to take the brocade box back into the warehouse.

Li Qinzai was completely desperate, and his spirit was much weaker.

At this time, Liu Renliang brushed his beard and said lightly: "Say, Li Jungong came to the door today, what are you doing?" ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, there is nothing else, I really came to visit you." ”

Liu Renliang said with a smile: "The old man is busy with official business, not to mention that the old man is going to send off guests." ”

Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched a few times, the old guy didn't understand the world at all.

The convention in officialdom, to meet at least half an hour of nonsense, such an important procedure is omitted?

"Ahem, Uncle Liu has taken care of the government and assisted the Holy Lord for many years, the kid knows that Uncle Liu is righteous and jealous like hatred, the court has Uncle Liu, the Tang Society is as stable as a rock, and Uncle Liu is important to the Tang Dynasty, just like the sun ......"

"Uh, Uncle Liu, don't be impatient, sit down first, you can finally accept ten gems from the kid, don't you be too patient with the kid?"

Liu Renliang said coldly: "If you talk nonsense, you have to add money." ”

Li Qinzai looked at him in shock, he couldn't see that the old guy was hiding deeply, how did he know such a brazen law of adding money?

"Yesterday, the Goguryeo Army reported that Wang Shi broke the enemy's capital Pyongyang, which was an exciting and happy event, but the kid heard that someone in the court made a fuss about deserters......

"My grandfather has not yet returned to the court, and now there are people in the Chang'an court who plan to suppress the heroes and implicate my grandfather in the desertion, Uncle Liu, have you heard about this?"

Liu Renliang said without being salty or indifferent: "The old man has never taken the empty words to heart. ”

Li Qinzai was stagnant, the god is "out of nowhere", you are an official, what you do is the wind from nowhere, and the wind is heard.

What do you mean by "wind and news"? That is to say, no matter what the official hears in the court, whether it is true or not, whether there is evidence or not, he has the obligation to play the Son of Heaven, even if it is found to be untrue, the official will not be convicted for his words.

Nowadays, the political environment of Datang is very relaxed, so officials like Liu Renliang can scold anyone in the court, including the Son of Heaven.

Li Qinzai carefully observed Liu Renliang's expression.

The words were broken by the crown prince Li Hong, Li Qinzai believes that Li Hong will not talk nonsense, he now wants to know whether Liu Renliang is involved in this matter, and if he is involved, is he the mastermind.

Seeing Li Qinzai staring at him for a long time, Liu Renliang finally couldn't help laughing.

This laugh couldn't be contained, Liu Renliang actually held his stomach and laughed, and he didn't know who clicked on the laughing point, regardless of his manners at all, and the green beard under his chin trembled, like touching an electric door.

After laughing for a long time, Liu Renliang finally stopped, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, calmed down and said, "The kid came to the door today, I'm afraid it is ill-intentioned, right?" ”

Li Qinzai said with a straight face: "Uncle Liu has wronged the kid, the kid is really just an ordinary visit today......"

"Your grandfather almost beat me when he saw the old man, our two families don't have such a deep friendship, you will visit the enemy family if you have nothing to do? Ha ha. ”

Li Qinzai blinked: "The affairs of the elders, the juniors are not involved, in the kid's heart, the elders are the elders, you elders have played brains among themselves, and the juniors still have to salute according to the rules when they see them, this is the upbringing of my Li family." ”

Liu Renliang sneered: "To put it soundingly, aren't you just here to find out if the person who made a fuss about deserters is an old man, thinking that the old man is blind?" ”

Li Qinzai grinned.

What to do, it seems a little embarrassing.

Why bother to say it so bluntly, leaving no room at all, and talking to death......

Liu Renliang squinted at him and said, "Do you know why the old man accepted your gemstone gift?" ”

Li Qinzai said weakly: "Because your old strength is greater than mine......"

Liu Renliang sneered and said: "You came to the door with bad intentions, the old man accepted your gems, which is regarded as an apology for your insult to the old man's conduct, the old man has been an innocent official all his life and never accepts bribes, but your gems, the old man deserves it." ”

Staring at Li Qinzai's eyes, Liu Renliang's expression suddenly became serious: "The old man is a doctor of the imperial history and an official, but the things he has done over the years are well-founded, and he has never deliberately framed his colleagues. ”

"The matter of losing conscience, suppressing the things that frame heroes, the old man has never done it, you are a hero of the Tang Dynasty, your grandfather is also a hero of the Tang Dynasty, you have great achievements and brilliant deeds, you stand in the light and are admired by the subjects."

"But the old man is no worse than you, it's just that I am in this position of offending people, and no one sees the old man's efforts."

"In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, the old man participated in the impeachment of Ling Zu's army to loot and slaughter the city, because Ling Zu did do these things, and the old man couldn't look past it, so he had to participate in the impeachment."

"In the second year of Lin De, Ling Zu commanded the king's army to the east, and the cold weather in the north caused deserters to appear in the army, and this matter has nothing to do with Ling Zu."

"Not only that, Ling Zu was able to decisively delay the siege of the city when the army's morale was gradually chaotic, first boost the army's morale, first settle the interior and then break the city, Ling Zu not only has no fault, but has merit."

"In the old man's opinion, this achievement is not inferior to breaking the enemy's capital, you must know that in the dangerous environment of foreign warfare, if the army's spirit collapses, it will be a terrible consequence, but Ling Zu turned the tide, and in the end he can reap the victory, it is not easy to do this, and he is worthy of being a famous general of the Tang Dynasty."
