Chapter 540 (1/2)
At Yangzhou wharf, Li Hong waved to Li Jingye and others who came to see him off. They took Bai Chun and boarded the boat for Hangzhou again under the escort of grain cob and cheetah.
The river breeze was slow, and Li Jingye and others looked at the five tooth warships gradually offshore. They saluted across the river, and then waved their hands vigorously. This made Li Hong, who was enjoying the morning breeze on the deck, couldn't help laughing at himself: ”I felt that after I left, they seemed to be relieved. This wave is not like a farewell.”
Turning to the cabin, Li Hong heard Bai Chun's voice: ”what is that?”
”Don't you feel like you want me to go?” Li Hongtou also does not return to say.
Bai Chun turned his head, and a group of officials on the wharf gradually turned into a little black shadow. Under the leadership of Li Jingye, he began to go to Yangzhou City in an orderly way.
”The Duke of England, his Highness has never asked you about Chen Jingzhi. So, can we continue to press Chen Jingzhi slowly as planned until he agrees?” Du Qiuren, riding a fine horse, followed Li Jingye's carriage and said in a low voice, lying on the horse's back.
”So what? The person you sent didn't let Chen Jingzhi agree to sign the autograph?” Li Jingye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Just now, when he was facing the prince's Highness's warm spring breeze and reluctant to leave, he had already disappeared. Even compared with the previous days, he was quite different.
Du Qiuren looked at Li Jingye in awe. He swallowed his words to his lips, but he wanted to speak again. However, looking at the black face, Du Qiuren did not know how to open his mouth and defend his subordinates. So he had to ask, ”is the autograph so important, British Duke? Now that you have bought people, although Liu Dewei, the supervisor of Dali temple, is dead now, he can't forge evidence, testimony, and documents from the execution ground of officials of grade five or above, Wang Pei
”Du Qiuren, do you know too much?” Li Jingye glanced at Du Qiuren, then sighed and said, ”if Chang'an officialdom is as simple as you think, I don't have to worry about it.”
”This is what the Duke of England said How What do you say? ” Du Qiuren pricked up his ears and asked.
Chang'an officialdom is a place that any local official yearns for. As long as you want to continue your official career, you can't get promoted faster than Chang'an and Luoyang.
Therefore, naturally, in the minds of local officials, Chang'an and Luoyang are like the holy land of every official after they enter the official career. Even in their ”simple” thinking, they even think that as long as the officials transfer themselves to Chang'an or Luoyang, they will be promoted once every three years, and be promoted once every nine years.
If you are more flexible in mind, handle affairs and handle things more smoothly, have a better family background, and have some relationship with the five surnames and seven hopes, it would be better. Basically, there should be no problem to be a three rank official in this lifetime.
However, how could he know that Li Jingye, who grew up in Chang'an with his grandfather Li Ji, was deeply touched by the treachery of Chang'an officialdom. How could he know that in Chang'an, not to mention the five grade officials, they were the fourth grade officials, and the third grade officials were the most important officials in Chang'an and Luoyang.
In Chang'an, a fourth grade official, even a third grade official, is nothing but bullshit. Who knows if you're in Chang'an, you'll run into your relatives, your relatives and your family.
Li Jingye pulled his mind back from Chang'an a long time ago, sighed again, and said in a low voice: ”Chang'an and Luoyang are the nightmare places for local officials like us. It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Isn't a good party member better than an official from both Chang'an and Luoyang?”
Du Qiuren blinked his eyes and listened attentively. Li Jingye continued: ”now, there are no more loopholes in Chang'an court as before. Dali temple, Yushitai, and the Ministry of punishment are indispensable. Before Liu Dewei died, it was extremely difficult to pull Chen Jingzhi off his horse, not to mention most of them The credit of Peiyan. As for Pei Wang Hum, I'm afraid Now, because of the suppression of his highness, he is shivering in Chang'an city. I'm afraid I have no courage. I'll stretch out my hand to other officials of the court. ”
”The Duke of England, even if the king Pei dare not put his hand above the court, but But the relationship between Pei Wang and the five surnamed Qiwang has always been very close, which is not comparable to the prince's highness. ” Seeing that Li Jingye didn't speak, Du Qiuren continued: ”the lower official thought that by contacting the five surnames and seven Wangs through the king Pei, we might be able to find suitable candidates for us from the Ministry of punishment, the Ministry of officials and the Dali temple. However, it's strange that you said that the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes was so great in our Tang Dynasty. Why didn't the prince see this? He had to fight with the five surnames and seven Wangs. It was not for nothing that King Pei picked up a ready-made one. ”
”Du Qiuren, I think you are very suitable to be an aide to the prince's highness. Yangzhou seems a little small and can't accommodate you as a giant Buddha.” Li Jingye said painlessly and suddenly, and then fell down the curtain of the car, indicating that the carriage would speed up to leave.
If you can see clearly the political struggle above the court hall, then those three grade officials in Chang'an don't have to live. They will die one by one!It has long been no secret that the prince's highness and the five surnames and seven Wangs were inseparable from each other.
Everyone knows that since his majesty Lizhi and Empress Wu Mei disintegrated the Guanlong group headed by changsun Wuji, the crown prince stretched out his hand to the five surnames and seven looks to divide and disintegrate their forces. It is not the emperor, the queen and the crown prince who are working together to strengthen their royal rights over the imperial court.
What's more, the prince's highness is now a secretary of state, and all six of them are under control. It is even more difficult for the five surnamed and seven Wang forces to be inserted.
