Xu Fengnian came to the Jingluo Envoy's Mansion alone in Beiliang Specifications only lower than Qingliang Mountain, familiar with the Li Mansion, and did not need to lead the way, and went to the back garden where Xu Xiao and Li Gongde rested, there are locust trees in the courtyard, Beiliang officialdom knows that Li Gongde likes to plant acacia in recent years, many foreign acacia have been moved to the mansion, the house is full of rich and noble houses, there is the meaning of Kedi auspicious omen in it, Li Gongde himself is not obvious, now the scientific examination is more in the Huai autumn season, the month is also called Huai Huang, It can be seen that Lord Li is still angry about his many times in the past, Xu Fengnian walked on the deep path of a branch of hollyhock, saw a sandalwood couch under the tree, Xu Xiao was drinking green ant wine alone, Li Gongde knelt in front of the King of Beiliang and sat less, and now he is a strategic envoy, he stands aside holding a wine jug to help pour wine, and other vassal kings have jurisdiction, and the economic envoy is a first-class eunuch with the same rank as the six Shangshu products, and he can't find such a groveling figure as Li Gongde, not to mention Sun Xiji, the envoy of the Western Chu Dao Sutra, Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, visited him several times in person, but he was not seen, just like the two Huaidao scriptures made Dai Yuzhen, and the grandiose oppression made Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, breathless, which shows the weight of the authority of the meridians.
As soon as Xu Xiao saw Xu Fengnian appear, he immediately wanted to let go of the sandalwood couch, Xu Fengnian ignored it, and asked Yuan Zuozong to ask for two chairs with the housekeeper, and sat down with Li Gongde, the afternoon sun was shining on his body, warm, and a few cups of green ant wine in the lower abdomen, dispelling a lot of cold, Li Gongde had never spent any thought on the commentary of the scriptures in his life, and it was used to figure out people's hearts.
He also had to sit and drink with him, tell some Lingzhou anecdotes, gags, and a few sycophants by the way, all of which were talking about how His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's trip to the capital won the hearts of the people, Xu Xiao believed it or not, but it was always comfortable to listen to in his ears, a little more warm smile, Xu Fengnian smiled and looked in his eyes, mixed feelings, Yan Chiji and Yan Dongwu's father Yan Jiexi was the assassin of Lingzhou, and his official position was roughly equivalent to that of Li Gongde, the governor of Fengzhou, who had not yet been incorporated into Youzhou, and now Yan Jiexi has betrayed Beiliang and went to Tai'an City to become a relative of the emperor, Maybe he will become a national ruler in the future, Li Gongde is not bad, he failed to become a Beijing official, but he has achieved the ultimate in the local official department, in fact, Xu Fengnian was closer to Uncle Yan a few points, and he can get by with this Uncle Li who has a bad reputation, but the two Yan and Li families each carp jumped over the dragon gate, but the women of these two families still hate him very much, the female bachelor Yan Dongwu is considered to have climbed the high branches, and has become the crown princess, Li Chengzhen is "ghost-obsessed", and he is a poor scholar, Who said that Xu Fengnian has been friends with Li Hanlin and Yan Chiji for so many years, but they didn't get a good look from their sister.
Xu Fengnian didn't really think about them, but he was half-true and half-false at the beginning, and he liked to tease and tease everyone who was serious about them, Yan Dongwu would also compete with him, Li Chengzhen was even more absolute, mean and cold words were indebted, and he was cold-eyed and cold-faced all the year round, Xu Fengnian leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and couldn't help but smile, Uncle Li was quite open-minded when he treated the Han Shi who was not in the right household, not only did he beat the mandarin ducks, but also secretly paved the road and built bridges several times, tampering with and raising the pedigree for him, from the poor to the scholar, and then from the small official to the official, Pinliu and two things, both of which have been settled generously, but I don't know if this Lingzhou officialdom is upside down, will it take the opportunity to shoot again Xu Fengnian did not mean to embarrass that Han Shi, although he saw the scholar's face and the city government outside the Stopping Horse Temple, that guy was also sinisterly calculated by Xu Beiji once, and felt that Li Yingzhen was not a person, but since this Li Hanlin's sister was enjoying it, Xu Fengnian was too lazy to point fingers, and even if the Han Shi really had the ability to be an official, Xu Fengnian didn't mind giving a slightly larger mink hat, For Bei Liang, it doesn't matter whether he is a clean official or not, whether he can be a good official is the key, and the scholar may not be able to become the second Li Gongde, who dares to say that Li Yingzhen must be wrong, a woman is stupid, and there may be a foolish blessing.
Xu Fengnian saw that he was almost happy with drinking, so he looked at Li Gongde half-drunk and smiled: "Uncle Li, do you know that there is a young man named Xu Beizhi in Longqing County?"
Li Gongde, who hurt his face as soon as he drank, didn't see any words and weighed his words, and said with a smile: "Of course, although Xu Beitong's official position is not high, he is only a secretary, and he is subordinate to the lord of Longjing County, but Uncle Li knows that Longqing County is too protective of Zhong Chengxin, and he is also respectful to Xu Beitong, because this person learns to be rich and has five cars, and what is more difficult is to learn for his own use, and be able to be proficient in governance, not the nerd who prides himself on being high, Zhong Chengxin has repeatedly endured the pain and cut his love, and he strongly recommends this person to Uncle Li, if it is not for His Royal Highness to mention it, Uncle Li has decided to come after the spring of the next year, Xu Beitong was promoted to Lingzhou to persuade students to engage in school, and served as a state school official, so as to make the best use of their talents. ” The corners of Xu Fengnian's mouth curled, nodded, and turned his head to look at the old man who had been smiling and not interjecting, "Xu Xiao, which official university is engaged in persuading students to engage in or classics to engage in?"
Xu Xiao insisted on being the shopkeeper, raised his glass and pointed at Li Gongde, "Don't ask Yu Blind, my father is also a layman, I have to ask you Uncle Li." ” Li Gongde hurriedly smiled and said: "The rank is comparable, but the classics are engaged in the general leadership of the state and politics, which is slightly higher than the persuasion of the scholars." ” Li Gongde slapped his head, and the snap was very crisp, this time the force was definitely not light, and his face suddenly realized, "Look at Uncle Li's memory, Lingzhou Classics is not young Yang Qianli, not long ago I complained to Uncle Li about his poor physical strength, and he had the idea of returning to his hometown to live in his hometown. ” Xu Fengnian poured a full glass of wine for Li Gongde and himself, and after drinking it all, he said drunken and hazy: "Uncle Li, you don't know, when Xu Beitong was deceived by me to come to Beiliang, I promised him to be a big official in the local area, but how big is it to be a big official, and there is no accurate number, my nephew still knows a little bit about military affairs, and when he arrives in officialdom, he doesn't know anything.
But since the nephew boasted about Haikou at the beginning, he was afraid of losing his trust.
Besides, I cheekily begged Xu Xiao to show off the Lingzhou general, if Xu Beiji became a classicist, he would look down and not look up all day long, and he would be embarrassed to drink flower wine with him, Uncle Li, do you say this is the reason?"
Liyang's official position, according to the law below the three grades, the products are not only divided into two levels, but also divided into two levels.
For example, it is the same four grades, but in fact there are four levels, Beijing officials and local officials, the main official is subordinate to the deputy official position, and the real lack of fat and Qingshui Yamen, all of which hide many mysteries.
As an official, the matter of entering the stream is the first dragon gate, regardless of whether it is from the nine products, the difference between officials is tantamount to a chasm, and the next four products are the second more towering and difficult to jump dragon gate, the so-called feudal marquis worships the prime minister, most of them are above the four products, most of them can be counted, if you want to climb to this position, rely on the family background and rely on the ability to rely on the ability, you can't be missing, like the big and small masters of the Song family, father and son have jointly dominated the literary world for more than 20 years, and the little master is just from the third grade of the country's right sacrifice wine.
Therefore, don't look at how docile and humble Li Gongde is in front of Xu Xiao, a sneeze in Lingzhou can make those county guards tremble.
At this time, Li Gongde still did not have the courage of a second-grade official, and the chick pecked the rice and nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, yes, it's this reason, His Royal Highness promises a thousand gold, how can he break his promise, if you want to blame Uncle Li for not thinking about it, there are still two positions of Lingzhou Huangnan County County Shou and Fengyu County County Order, which are suitable for Xu Beitong, how does Your Highness think that Fengyu County is the largest county in our Beiliang Road, with a special rank, which is equivalent to a county Taishou, and it is not far from our Lingzhou Prefecture City" Xu Fengnian suddenly snorted, put down the wine glass, got up and said with a lazy face: "Huangnan County Taishou Song Yan is in the prime of life, and the reputation doesn't seem to be bad, as for the county order, although Fengyu is the leading county in Beiliang, after all, it doesn't sound good, forget it, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, Uncle Li doesn't need to worry about this matter."
My nephew is a Lingzhou general who is a mess, and if he chatters about Lingzhou's government affairs, he is afraid that the next time he comes to the door, Uncle Li's family will not give him food and drink. ” Li Gongde slapped his thigh heavily, Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian both got up, how dare he sit there with a shelf, hurriedly stood up and whispered: "Your Highness, since Xu Beiji has joined the army as a soldier of Longqing County, or let him be the driver of Lingzhou."
Xu Fengnian smiled: "Let's talk about it again." ” As an important adjutant of the head of a state, when the assassin patrols the territory, he can bring his own carriage and horse to accompany him, which is why he has the name of another driver, which can be regarded as worthy of the name.
Officials take the position of don't drive, as long as they don't make a big mistake in office, half of them can smoothly advance to become the history of the assassin, Liyang set up thirty states under the road, as a candidate for the history of the assassin, and the other driver is also a very powerful local minister, no one underestimates it.
Xu Beitong jumped from a county official to a state, which is equivalent to easily crossing the second dragon gate in the officialdom, and even the entire Beiliang Road will be looked at.
But what makes Li Gongde uneasy is that His Royal Highness the Prince is still in a state of mind, and he seems to be absent-minded and easy to speak, but Li Gongde, who has always mastered the fire to the peak, has no bottom in his heart.
Xu Xiao didn't let Li Gongde see him off, and the adults were well versed in the essence of sycophancy, so they didn't bother the purity of the father and son going out of the house together.
After Xu Xiao bypassed the shadow wall, he said with a smile: "Is it that you have a big appetite, or Xu Beitong has a big appetite for Li Gongde and the position of the assassin who refuses to let go of the position in peacetime, Li Gongde will not be so reluctant, but now that the younger scholars are pouring into Beiliang, most of them will stay in Lingzhou, many words are actually inconvenient to say, but many things are more convenient to do, this is called the county official is not as good as the current management, Li Gongde even if he has not recovered at this time, but with his eyesight, he can quickly guess what you want."
Dad has a lot of mouths, snakes have snakes, rats have rat roads, Beiliang military affairs, even if you make trouble with a Huaihua general who unloads his armor and returns to the field, it is not a big deal, you say that you can be the same as the general of Lingzhou, but the circle of civil officials, large and small, interlocking, and even more intertwined, can not solve all the troublesome things with fists alone, which is also the root cause of Dad has always been unconcerned about local political affairs, and he really can't take care of it.
Officialdom is a river and lake, and everyone can't help themselves.
Officialdom is not a river and lake, and you can't just convince people with force. ” Xu Feng laughed youngly: "I know the severity.
In fact, Song Yan, the county guard of Huang Nan, is Li Gongde's proud protégé, this official position is very sincere, Xu Beitong went to Huang Nan, and the protégé of the Li family will not make trouble even if he will not support him.
But it's ridiculous not to drive in Lingzhou, I know better than anyone that the adult is waiting for the kid from Hanlin to return to his hometown, this position is simply tailored for his son, and it is reasonable to become the assassin of Lingzhou in the future, if it is someone else, even if he knows that Xu Beitong is valued by me, he is destined to do not go well.
But to be honest, whether Hanlin will be promoted from joining the army to the deputy general of Lingzhou and then moving to the general, or taking the path of the county order not to drive the assassination history, I am happy to see it happen.
No matter how unkind I am, Uncle Li is still a little selfish towards this brother Hanlin, Uncle Li, I am still a little childish. ” Xu Xiao walked forward and said with a smile: "The size of the pattern is not static, and it may be helpful to have a broad vision after promotion, but it is still not as good as some people's natural pattern."
Li Gongde became the envoy of the scriptures, not because of how capable he was, but because he was suitable for this position.
Having said that, if it weren't for Li Gongde's petty family, he wouldn't have been able to get to this point today.
Speaking of which, Dad is going to nag and talk about some experience, many people may not do well at the moment, but you still have to be patient, don't say that others are good, just like Dad, but not at the beginning of the current mind, before joining the army, he was not angry with the market green skin every day, and later became a captain, and never thought that one day he would be on an equal footing with those unattainable temple elders, and when they begged for money and food for soldiers and horses, there was still no face left, and there was only no kneeling.
The hardships involved, even the old brothers who left Liaodong with those gangs, my father never said half a word. ” Xu Fengnian nodded.
Xu Xiao laughed without warning, and said with relief: "Just now I saw you and Li Gongde grinding there, intriguing while drinking, my father is really happy when he thinks about it." ” Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, sighed, and laughed at himself: "As a result, I still couldn't get the history of the Lingzhou Thorn, and I was still worried about how to see Xu Beitong. ” Xu Xiao smiled even more happily, "Why don't my father go to Xu Beitong for you to support the scene" Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "Forget it, you go back to Liangzhou first, I will definitely rush back for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at that time, before the New Year's Eve and the border school martial arts parade, I will be here honestly as a scaring Lingzhou general."
When the matter of Lingzhou is over, it shouldn't take long for me to go back to Qingliangshan. ” Xu Xiao nodded and walked out of the gate of the Li Mansion, Xu Xiao said with a playful smile: "I was affected by your kid, and the scourge was that Li Yingzhen's Nizi hid in the shadow wall, and when you saw my uncle, you didn't shout, so you didn't look back."
Xu Fengnian didn't turn his head, and sent Xu Xiao directly to the carriage outside the mansion and glared at him fiercely.
Yuan Zuozong rode a horse to escort him, Xu Fengnian raised his head and said: "Second brother Yuan, don't let Xu Xiao drink more on the road, I'm really greedy, let him drink at most, no more." ” Yuan Zuozong rarely had the leisure elegance of not telling jokes with a straight face, the silkworm smiled and smiled, looked at the carriage and asked: "Father-in-law, who should Zuozong listen to in this matter?"
The old man in the carriage said with a smile: "You will listen to him in the future." ”:
