Chapter 53: The Father-in-law
Of course, having said that, this matter cannot be decided by him Tang Jianqiu alone.
Although he is in charge of the Beizhen Fusi and has a lot of power, there are some things that still have to be reported to the commander and the commander, and many things can only be stopped if they agree to this matter.
The people were very happy when they heard this, although they were used to living a hard life, they also understood the principle of Entu's retribution.
What's more, they had already received Tang Jianqiu's favor, and now that they heard him say such words, it was even more difficult to say anything.
"My lord! You really are! The grace of adults is unforgettable! In the next life, it will be like a cow and a horse! If you can return to your homeland in the future, you will definitely raise funds to build a temple for Engong and pray for Engong! ”
However, those who had previously pointed out that Tang Jianqiu was not lowered their heads in shame when they heard this,
Others didn't dare to speak as if their throats and eyes were blocked, they only felt a little hot on their faces, and some people began to play a round game:
"I'll just say, how can Lord Tang be as hateful as the rumors? It must be someone who lacks the heart to make a mistake! ”
"Now it seems that rumors are really harmful! I've always been on the side of Lord Tang! Lord Tang is really the lucky star of our Beiping East City! ”
"It seems that this Lord Tang is really a rare Qing official! In this way, we are blessed in the East City! ”
The people have their own rhetoric, and the vast majority of them are saying good things about Tang Jianqiu, but there are always a few who like to pick thorns.
Tang Jianqiu didn't care about these people who were attached to the flames, he thought that these were just things he should do, and those who bullied others were what he really looked down on.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, first attack the heart for the top, the city for the bottom, move the hearts of the people first, and then attack the city!
This soldier in the middle of the court is like fire and water, and the hundred officials are like a battlefield, and if you secretly build your basic strength over time, it is the best strategy to attack again when the enemy is tired!
What Tang Jianqiu did was a good deed, and it was even rumored in the local area, which could be said to be spread by ten or hundred, and this matter even spread to the palace very quickly.
Tang Jianqiu's relief of the victims has been completely spread in the streets and alleys, and the neighborhoods in the township have been completely spread, and the old, young, women and children all know about it, and Tang Jianqiu has naturally become a celebrity in Beiping, and there are more and more people who appreciate him.
Even if what Tang Jianqiu did was known to the world, some people still expressed dissatisfaction with it, especially when they heard the people in the world talking about Tang Jianqiu's good deeds.
Even if Tang Jianqiu is relieving the victims, it is inevitable that he will be tongue-in-cheek.
Those people may be jealous, or they may be novel in their brain circuits, they always like to pick bones in eggs, and they even questioned Tang Jianqiu's kindness;
About a few hours later, there was a group of people with broken mouths gossiping about Tang Jianqiu behind their backs: "You say that this Lord Tang is really as good as rumored?"
Beizhen Fusi is a place to eat people, not to mention the pacification envoy in charge of the Zhenfu Division, in my opinion, this is contrived! This person's heart can be separated from the belly! ”
"Maybe it's uneasy and kind, no matter how good you do, you can't cover up the ferocity of Beizhen Fusi! Could it be that you want to take this opportunity to spread the word? It's good to win the sympathy of the world,
In this way, the reputation of Beizhen Fusi can naturally reach the ears of the emperor, and he is quite scheming! ”
As if they had found a springboard, they endlessly ridiculed Tang Jianqiu behind their backs, as if he had done something unseemly, and their words were full of ridicule.
The other was a little less daring, and he hurriedly made a gesture of silence, and became frightened by this:
"I'll see you keep quiet, don't let the pacifier hear, or watch your heads!"
I thought that saying this would make them restrain themselves, but who would have thought that this would not get their comfort, but in exchange for endless ridicule and complaints;
"What am I afraid of? What he did didn't let people say, huh? Also, didn't you notice that the soothing envoy was particularly close to the son of the prime minister? Maybe the two of them have some unseemly deal! ”
"If you want me to see, these two people are the fetish of broken sleeves and the good of Long Yang, don't look at his usual face to others who owes him two silver and never repays, that treatment of the son of Xiangye is completely a different attitude!
I've lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard of this strange thing! I really don't know where to put this old face! ”
The man patted his right cheek as he spoke, eager to tear off Tang Jianqiu's "hypocritical" face now.
Listening to the words of these gentlemen who can only chew the root of their tongues, Ah Fei, who was sitting on the seat and drinking, couldn't listen to it anymore, he slammed the cup he was holding on the table hard, his eyes were fierce and murderous.
"Humph! These crumbs! Dare to be so lawless and disrupt the court officials, see that grandpa doesn't clean them up! ”
Saying that, Ah Fei was about to clean up these short-sighted guys, but was stopped by Tang Jianqiu.
"Ah Fei, slow down, don't care about this bit of gossip, punishing them can only be an expedient measure, without this measurement, how can I take the position of a pacification envoy?
Even if violence is used to counter violence, it may not convince the local people, and if you do something to criticize it, you can defeat yourself.
It is human nature to resist the unknown, and it is not a big deal, and now it is necessary to deal with all the matters that His Majesty has explained. ”
"What Lord Tang said is extremely true, it is that his subordinates are too worried."
For some reason, Ah Fei was relieved, this was a little different from the appeasement envoy he had seen before.
In the past, Tang Jianqiu was the kind who could solve it by force and never moved, but now he chooses to convince people with virtue, which can be described as a big man, who can bend and stretch!
Tang Jianqiu can become a hero in the eyes of everyone, but he is inevitably jealous, and this includes the thousand households who always hate Tang Jianqiu in Jinyiwei;
And this scene was all seen by Zhao Jingzhong, who was one of the thousands of households in Jinyi, and he clenched the teacup in his hand very resentfully, eager to crush Tang Jianqiu completely!
"Next!"
At that moment, he was quite jealous, his eyes shot out of hatred, and as a Jinyi guard, he hated Tang Jianqiu extremely much.
If it hadn't been for Lu Kui's recommendation to him, Tang Jianqiu would not have been able to sit in the position of the pacification envoy!
Obviously he can almost be served, he has already reached the age of establishment, but he is only a few Jinyi Wei thousand households, and Tang Jianqiu became a fourth rank at a young age, how can he not hate?
The father-in-law obviously said that he would help him, but in the end, it was just a thousand households, although this official position is not low, but compared to this thousand households with heavy responsibilities, he wants the admirable Jinyi Wei to calm the envoy!
Zhao Jingzhong even thought that the position of the pacification envoy should belong to him!
Jinyi Wei Qianhu thought to himself: "Tang Jianqiu, you wait for me!" This position is only reserved for you for the time being, and I will go and ask my stepfather for some instructions, and be careful that you don't have a black veil on your neck! ”
Jin Yiwei Zhao Jing Zhong has made up his mind, and by chance he came to the palace to find Wei Zhongxian, who was in charge of the East Factory, he was loyal to Wei Zhongxian, and he had no two hearts!
Hearing the footsteps from far and near, the corners of Wei Zhongxian's lips inadvertently hooked up a smile:
"Is your character finished? How can you have time to come and see our house? ”
Wei Zhongxian made a rare joke, even if he didn't have to look back, he could guess who the other party was.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingzhong hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and replied, as if he saw his biological father, he hurriedly stepped forward to offer his courtesy, and he was very excited in his words, for fear that he would be a little sluggish.
"Recently, I have been busy with official business and have not been able to come to see my father-in-law, and I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian just glanced back at Zhao Jingzhong, who was smiling, and instantly understood what the other party meant, and said unhurriedly:
"Don't we know you yet? If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, tell me why you came this time? ”
Zhao Jingzhong, a thousand households in Jinyi, was overjoyed when he saw the opportunity, as if he couldn't wait, and hurriedly stepped forward:
"Father-in-law! Jing Zhong wanted to get the post of pacification envoy, no matter north or south, not to mention that you didn't promise to give me one of the pacification envoys? ”
Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry, he calmly stopped the water, as if he was accustomed to it, and said slowly:
"This matter is not in a hurry, our family didn't expect to kill an Anyuan general Lu Kui halfway, Jing Zhong, endure the calm for a while, and when the time is ripe, I will leave this position to you."
Besides, he was just thinking about it, and his nephew Fu Yingxing hadn't benefited yet.
In addition, there are his sons-in-law, aunts and cousins, all kinds of relatives and even old friends have never been brought up, and now he is in such a hurry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great things.
It seems that he didn't expect to end up in such a situation, Zhao Jingzhong panicked instantly, and asked again and again: "But the father-in-law ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Zhongxian couldn't listen anymore, he just made a gesture to stop.
"There is nothing, not to mention that Jianqiu, this kid, our family still appreciates it, it is best to grasp it without fighting, grabbing, being humble or arrogant, you should learn from him, if you can become a righteous son for my use, it is also a beautiful thing!"
Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed with calculation, and at this time he was thinking about how to make Tang Jianqiu, a man who was not afraid of power, deign to come to his command.
If you can conquer this kind of people who are not afraid of violence, who are awe-inspiring and upright, and who are loyal, what a free thing it will be! What a pleasure!
"Father-in-law!"
Zhao Jingzhong was in a hurry, he was already anxious because of this matter, and now Wei Zhongxian said such a thing, how could he not be in a hurry? Isn't that a slap in the face?
Besides, he already hated Tang Jianqiu, if Tang Jianqiu really agreed, wouldn't he become a righteous brother? He's not unusual!
"How? This is not like you, Jing Zhong, you have to calm down in everything, don't make too much trouble, you go back first. ”
"Father-in-law!"
Zhao Jingzhong was going to say something more, but when he met Wei Zhongxian's fierce eyes, he suddenly changed his mind.
"This ...... Be! ”
Zhao Jingzhong dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, he could only hold the resentment in his stomach and keep scolding in his heart:
"Damn! Tang Jianqiu, you have to rob me of the post of Jinyi Wei's envoy, even your father-in-law has a good impression of you! This matter won't just be settled, Tang Jianqiu! We'll see! ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Jingzhong left with anger and hatred, and his resentment towards Tang Jianqiu had reached its peak.
He swore that when the time came, he would get rid of Tang Jianqiu!
However, Tang Jianqiu didn't know what Zhao Jingzhong was thinking, but he just knew that Zhao Jingzhong would defect to the eunuch party, and he naturally didn't know the specific details, but he just knew a rough idea;
