Chapter 94: Liu Qi's Prosperous Era 2 Zhi Du Qi
Zhidu, a native of Yang County, Hedong County (now Hongdong, Shanxi), nicknamed "Goshawk", the year of birth and death is unknown.
The above opening sentence is usually used in the context of introducing members of triad gangs or terrorists. However, this brother nicknamed Goshawk is not a member of an underworld gang, let alone a terrorist.
Zhidu's hometown is Hongdong County, which is inevitably reminiscent of "there are no good people in Hongdong County".
But in fact, Zhidu is a rare good comrade. This duke is honest and fair, loyal to his duties, it is not difficult to be a clean official in those years, and the reason why Zhidu can be admired is because he is one of the few officials who does not regard the royal family and nobles as a strong official.
Brother Zhidu often said that he wanted to "serve as a dead official", and in order to realize this ideal, even his wife and children could be ignored.
From the moment he stepped into his career, Zhidu decided to leave everything behind.
Zhidu was not born as a child of high-ranking officials and nobles, and his way to enter the official career was the same as that of thousands of young people, and he entered the court full of dangers and opportunities through the election of Lang.
Although Lang Guan is very inconspicuous in the palace, this profession is very promising.
Lang officials are divided into four classes, Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang, Lang Zhong four and so on. Their specific work is varied, the main duties are to guard the palace gate, charge cars outside the palace and ride the guard of honor, and they can also act as the emperor's adviser at any time.
If the work of gatekeeper and charging is not high, then the job requirements for being a consultant are high.
Since the requirements are high, the selection method of Lang officials is relatively special, and there are two ways to become a Lang official at first, one is to appoint the son (selected by the merits of his father and brother), and the other is to be selected (pay money directly), and later added the inspection (similar to the imperial examination).
These ways show that Lang Guan is a person with some background, either with money, background, or special talents.
Because of this, Lang Guan has an innate advantage over the eunuchs and Wei Wei around the emperor. Wei Wei is a military soldier and uneducated, and a eunuch is a disabled person and even more uneducated.
In the process of getting acquainted with the emperor, Lang Guan has a lot of opportunities to show his talents. And in the eyes of the emperor, Langguan can actually be regarded as a study and training class for ministers. The majority of the people in this study and training class will be eliminated, and a small number of people will enter the ranks of the three princes and nine secretaries.
Like his countless predecessors, Zhi Du started from an inconspicuous Lang official and moved towards the rank of minister.
During the time of Emperor Wen, Zhidu gave Liu Heng a guard, but his official position was never promoted.
However, Brother Zhi was lucky, and in the early years of Emperor Jing, he finally got mixed with Zhonglang General.
Zhonglang will rank Lu to 2,000 stones, and his immediate boss is Lang Zhongling (later renamed Guangluxun), one of the Nine Qings, who is in charge of the emperor's guards.
It seems that Zhonglang will be in a high position, but unfortunately, Zhonglang will not be the only one, but there are three people. Moreover, the status of General Zhonglang is lower than that of generals in the army, so after many comparisons, General Zhonglang is not ranked in the center.
In other words, Zhi has to come out of the hall of fame, and he must continue to be promoted.
The hard work paid off, and an accident opened the prelude to Brother Zhi's continued ascension.
Liu Qi took Zhidu to Shanglin Yuan to hunt.
When Liu Qi's concubine Jia Ji went to the toilet, there was a scene of Beauty and the Beast at the scene. A wild boar followed Jackie inside. Liu Qi's face turned pale when he saw it, and he gave Zhi Du a look.
Brother Zhi, who was the chief of the guard, stood still alone, as if he was fine.
That means that I am protecting your emperor, and your wife has nothing to do with me.
Liu Qi saw that the Bodhisattva of Zhidu was not moved, but he was on fire in his heart, but he didn't have time to say more, so he simply rushed in with his own knife.
If you don't save me, I will save it.
Seeing that Liu Qi was going to do it himself, the entourage was stunned for a while.
Zhidu suddenly blocked Liu Qi, knelt in front of Liu Qi and said: "Your Majesty, you can choose another concubine if you die, there are many in the world, why should Your Majesty take the risk?" Your Majesty, even if you don't cherish yourself, you should think about your ancestors and the Queen Mother! ”
Liu Qi was awakened by a word.
He looked at Zhidu with angry eyes, thinking to himself: "If it's not your wife, of course you're not in a hurry!" But when the words came to his lips, he felt that what Zhi Du said was not unreasonable.
After a long time, Liu Qi listened to Zhidu's statement and made a very inhumane decision - to leave.
Liu Qi left Jia Ji to fend for herself.
Luckily, Beauty and the Beast ended as a comedy, and Jaggie was unharmed.
Not long after, the Empress Dowager Dou heard about this, and the mother's biggest worry was that her son married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, and Zhidu's advice made her son see that the old lady was actually more important than the wife.
This made the Empress Dowager Dou very happy, and she did something she didn't usually do, and sent someone to reward Zhidu with 100 gold. Liu Qi was happy to see the old lady for a rare time, so he was naturally very happy, and he also rewarded Zhidu with one hundred gold.
Zhi is not greedy for money, gold does not have much effect in his eyes, and the biggest gain of Zhidu is that Liu Qi's eyes have changed when he looks at him, and he has become more important, and it has the meaning of reuse.
Liu Qi focused on inspecting Zhidu's behavior, and found that this courtier was really not afraid of heaven and earth, and the little lieutenant general dared to accuse the minister in person, even if it was the imperial family and nobles, Zhidu never gave face.
In the fourth year before Emperor Jing, a piece of music flew on Liu Qi's desk.
Jinan Taishou sent a twist, reporting that the local powerful clan surnamed Yu family dominated one side, and did evil in the local area, Jinan Taishou could not govern, and asked the court for help.
Liu Qi's first feeling after watching the recital was that Jinan Taishou was here to ask for help, but to complain.
Liu Qi couldn't help but be furious, the local officials couldn't even rectify the local snakes, but were insulted everywhere, which shows how arrogant the heroes are. Liu Qi knew very well that he had to deal with the local snakes of the people, and if he didn't find some ruthless officials to rectify and rectify them, the face of the court would be gone.
He thought of Zhidu, this guy is famous for his bravery, how about letting him fight the head snake?
Liu Qi didn't have time to think about it, because he had long wanted to try Zhidu's talents.
Liu Qi made a will, and Zhonglang let Zhidu go to the post of Jinan Taishou and went to his post immediately.
When Brother Zhi received the holy decree, some brothers advised him not to go to Jinan, Jinan is a place that is powerful, mixed, and difficult to govern.
Zhidu smiled and shook his head.
If things are easy to do, the emperor will not look for him in Zhidu. If he can't handle these people, there will be no officials in the world who can do it.
Zhidu has cleaned up and gone on the road, but the heroes of Jinan are still dreaming of being the king and hegemon.
