Great Tang Broom Star - v2 Chapter 1112

  Chapter 1112 How can a Tang man be ungrateful

  The spring of the second year of Linde came very early.

   Zheng County, as the governor of Huazhou, has a lot of things to do, but the trouble is that small things are easy to handle, but big things are difficult.

  As a county magistrate, no matter how good you are, you don’t dare to be complacent. Otherwise, when you look up, you will find a big man squatting on top of your head… Liao Youchang, the magistrate of Huazhou.

  Di Renjie has been in Zheng County for a long time.

  The long absence from the officialdom made him a little unfamiliar, so he spent a lot of time re-familiar with those rules and procedures.

   Three lives do evil, magistrate attached to Guo. The magistrate of Zheng County and the magistrate of Huazhou both work in the county seat of Zheng County, and the distance between the prefecture and the county is not far away. That is to say, Di Renjie’s every word and deed are under the watchful eye of Liao Youchang, the governor.

  Many people said that the county magistrate of Zheng County is not a good position, especially when Liao Youchang, an old official in the officialdom, is on the job.

  But Di Renjie was very calm, what to do or what to do.

   “Mingfu!”

  Di Renjie was reading a book when he heard the sound and raised his head, “Fan Xiancheng.”

  The person who came in was Fan Jin, the magistrate of Zheng County.

Fan Jin, whose face was pale from being blown by the wind, came in and shivered, “The evil wind just now made the bones cold. By the way, Mingfu, the lower official met a good friend from the state side earlier, and said that it was the envoy Liao. When Jun just received the letter, he was very excited and ready to ask someone to do something.”

   “Mingfu, there are people from the prefecture.”

   Squatting on the edge of the state house to be the county magistrate, this feeling is really hard to describe.

  An official came in, looked at Di Renjie and Fan Jin with a calm expression, and said: “The envoy has ordered that Zheng County recruit a hundred civilians and assemble within three days.”

  Di Renjie asked: “But there is something to do?”

  The official frowned: “Your envoy’s orders, you just have to do it.”

  Di Renjie took a deep breath… If he had followed his style in the past two years, he would have gone mad and questioned him now.

  But in the past few years in Jia’s house, he has been reflecting on his past, and deeply reviewed his official career.

  So he smiled and said: “If the emperor recruits civilian husbands, I will obey here…but I have to have a name. Please tell me where you are going and how long it will take to come back.”

   Otherwise, how could he talk to the family members of those civilian husbands?

  And as the magistrate of Zheng County, he has the right to ask.

  The official said with a cold face, “Why, do you still want to question the envoy?”

  Fan Jin laughed dryly: “Mingfu is too tired these days, I’m afraid I’m a little dizzy.”

  Di Renjie is tired and dizzy, don’t blame him.

  The official looked pale, “Do it.”

   Di Renjie gritted his teeth secretly, and the official went back to deal with his business contentedly.

  As soon as he walked outside the door, he heard Di Renjie speak in the duty room.

   “Where is the man going? How long will it take to come back?”

  This person has some shafts!

  The official turned around and said angrily, “Are you sure you want to know?”

  Curiosity in officialdom should not be too strong. Most of them are petty officials, but it is a taboo to spy on officials and colleagues.

  Fan Jin bowed slightly, “This matter…”

  The official pointed at him, and said coldly: “I didn’t ask you! Di Ming Mansion, this matter is the envoy’s order!”

  The official emphasized the word envoy, and his eyes became more stern.

  The governor ordered you, a county magistrate, dare to disobey? Go back and clean you up!

  Many times, a high-ranking official crushes someone to death. If you anger your immediate boss, you will seek your own death, and there will be countless small shoes waiting for you to wear after that.

  Fan Jin smiled flatteringly at the officials, “This matter will be handled by the lower officials, and the lower officials will handle it!”

   In this way, there are steps.

   This Fan Jin is not bad!

  The official sneered, “I’ve made a note of this matter.”

   It stands to reason that Di Renjie should bow his head, right?

  The official squinted at him, just about to go out.

  Di Renjie thought of his previous career, which was ruined by all kinds of ignorance.

   What should I do?

  …

  Di Renjie asked again: “Where is the husband? How soon will he be back?”

  Fan Jin opened his mouth: “…”

   No one has ever contradicted Shangguan like this.

  What does this Di Mingfu want to do?

  The official stomped his feet, “Of course, this old man will report this matter to the envoy, so that the Di Ming Mansion can take care of itself!”

  Di Renjie took a step forward and said seriously: “Where is the husband going? How long will it take to come back? If you can’t explain this matter clearly, please forgive me and I won’t agree.”

  The official snorted coldly, and then went out.

  Fan Jin smiled wryly behind him, “Mingfu, this matter… hey!”

  …

  Liao Youchang was an official through the imperial examination. He has been in office for many years and has been struggling at the bottom. He is familiar with the underlying administrative structure and operation. But being promoted is not because you think you can be promoted if you are awesome, so he has not been very complacent. It wasn’t until he took the line of Li Yifu a few years ago that Liao Youchang embarked on the fast lane of promotion.

  Liao Youchang has a dignified appearance and an upright face. Just raising his eyes, there is a majesty in the heart.

   “Di Renjie asked the whereabouts of the civilian husband?”

  The official nodded, “This official is incompetent. Di Renjie kept asking, and the official hinted several times, but was ignored by this person.”

Liao Youchang smiled and said: “After this person arrived in Huazhou, the old man has inquired about him. He was also an official in the imperial examination, but he was ignorant of world affairs. He offended many colleagues and superiors, and finally resigned. After that, there was no news. I didn’t expect to appear again. He came to Zheng County.”

  The official said: “So that’s the case. In this way, this person is a stunned young man, and he is still the same all these years.”

  Liao Youchang frowned slightly, “Zheng County is blocked by Di Renjie, what will happen to other counties? If this matter is not handled properly, Prime Minister Li will definitely say that I am incompetent.”

  But Li Yifu didn’t ask you to recruit civilian husbands from Huazhou to help.

   It’s just that you want to please Li Yifu yourself.

  The official said: “Di Renjie is tough, the lower officials think… how about recruiting more laborers from other counties?”

Liao Youchang tapped lightly on the case table, and suddenly sneered, “Li Xiang is in full swing now, wouldn’t it be a joke if a county magistrate stopped this matter? That Fan Jin said he was willing to do it, so let him do it. As for Di Renjie …After this matter is over, the old man will argue with him again.”

  Officials went immediately.

  Liao Youchang was writing a letter to Li Yifu. In the letter, he talked about the Huazhou officials who heard that Li Xiang moved to the ancestral grave. Although there are not many 300 civilians sent by Huazhou, it is the heart of him and the officials…

  If you want to be promoted, you have to find your thigh, that is, find someone who appreciates you. If you say that brother has the ability, he can counterattack with his ability…Countless proud fledglings have fallen on the shore of the official sea, and they can’t even see the middle of the sea.

   “Envoy!”

   Liao Youchang, who was considering his words, said dissatisfiedly, “Why can’t we talk about it later?”

   Officials come in.

   “Master, I went to find Fan Jin, and Fan Jin agreed, but I didn’t expect Di Renjie to come forward and scold the official…”

  Liao Youchang said with a cold face, “Is he trying to embarrass this old man on purpose?”

   There is evil spirit in these words.

  The officials stood with their hands tied, “Di Renjie acted recklessly, that’s exactly what I see from the officials.”

“This is blocking all the roads.” Liao Youchang’s expression changed, “Di Renjie originally offended his colleagues and superiors, so he resigned sadly. Now he has reverted to his old ways. Once he is beaten, he will be out of office ever since. gone.”

  The official said: “My lord, but the matter of Li Xiang is important!”

  Liao Youchang nodded, “Yes! Let’s talk about this matter first.”

  The official said in embarrassment: “But Di Renjie won’t accept it.”

  Liao Youchang stared at the teacup on the desk, and said calmly: “Get rid of him first. Find something to throw on his head afterwards. When the old man goes to court, who can protect him?”

  The official said with a smile: “I’m afraid that the officials will have a headache for this man, and he will never want to be an official again.”

   “It would be best if he could go to prison.” Liao Youchang raised his eyes, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

  …

   “Ming Mansion, the governor ordered you to go to Chang’an to report the lack of taxes in Zheng County last year.”

   Fan Jin brings this ‘good news’

  Let’s go, out of sight, out of mind.

  Di Renjie was silent for a long time.

“good!”

  Fan Jin heaved a sigh of relief, looked back to see that there was no one outside the door, and then said in a low voice: “Mingfu, the envoy’s side… I’m afraid it won’t be kind.”

  …

  At noon on the day Di Renjie left Zheng County, officials from the prefecture and county were dispatched.

   “Wang Fu, there is only one child in your family.”

  This is an ordinary family. Wang Fu is the father, with three sons and a daughter.

  The eldest is 21 years old and just married.

  The old man is twenty-nine years old, a little stunned, but physically strong.

  The old man is thirty-five years old, half a child, and I am overwhelmed.

  My daughter is twelve years old, and she is the most delicate. She is timidly watching Aye talking to the official from inside the door.

  Wrinkles on Wang Fu’s face were all open, and he smiled and said, “This year’s taxation hasn’t started yet, right?”

  The little official said with a cold face, “When will it start?”

“Yes Yes Yes.”

  Wang Fu nodded and bowed, “I’ll pack up my things now, I’ll go now.”

  The little official glanced at his gray beard and hair, and scolded: “Boss Wang, you bastard, seeing you, Aye, working at such a young age, can’t you do it?”

  Boss Wang stepped forward, “I’ll go!”

  Wang Fu scolded: “Where are you going? You just got married, so you were born at home.”

   Wang Lao Er came over in silence.

   “That’s him!”

  The little official said: “Let’s go right away, hurry up if you need to prepare anything at home.”

   “Erlang…”

  Wang Fu stared, but Wang Er said: “Aye, you are old, and I heard you say that your leg hurts last night.”

  The little official shouted: “It’s the second son of the king, hurry up!”

  The family hurriedly prepared dry food and a change of clothes, and gave some scattered copper coins. The family sent Wang Laoer outside the door, and Wang Fu quietly gave the little official two pennies.

   “Dare to ask where this is going?”

  The little official weighed the copper coins, and the two copper coins rolled and fell in the palm of his hand, and the sound of the collision was clear and crisp.

   “To Yongkang Mausoleum.”

  Wang Fu was stunned, “Where is Yongkang Mausoleum?”

  The little official looked at the copper coin in his hand, and said impatiently, “It’s in Sanyuan.”

  Wang Fu blinked, “What are you going to do?”

  The little official made a gesture of cursing, Wang Fudui laughed, “I’m worried about my second child… I’ll treat you to a drink later.”

The little official said: “There is no need to hide this matter from anyone… Li Xiang in the court knows, right? He is the one who is most favored. Li Xiang Shangshu moved his grandfather’s tomb to the edge of Yongkang Mausoleum in Sanyuan, and His Majesty allowed it. Li There is no shortage of manpower from the seven counties, but our envoy is deeply favored by Li Xiang, so we plan to get hundreds of peasants to help. Don’t regret it if you go today. This year your second child’s labor will be reduced Exempted.”

  Yongkang Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Li Yuan’s grandfather Li Hu. Just like those heroes of the Tang Dynasty who were buried around the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong, it is honor and blessing to be buried around Yongkang Mausoleum.

  Wang Fudui laughed and said: “The old man sees Li Xiang as if he is a god. He wants to go to worship but has no way to go. The second child can go, so maybe he can get some blessings!”

  Wang Fu watched the second child go away, the flattery on his face gradually dissipated, and all the expressions were worried.

   “Old man!”

  Wang Fu turned around, and saw a man coming from the right.

  The man is carrying a bag and leading a horse, looking like he is hiking.

  Wang Fu smiled, “Mr.

  The man cupped his hands, “I’m going to Chang’an, the water bag is out of water, and I’m thirsty, is it convenient for my husband’s house?”

   “Convenient and convenient.”

  Wang Fu said: “Come in and rest.”

  The man lowered his head, “Excuse me.”

  The two of them entered the yard, and Wang Fu said, “Sanlang, go get some water for the bowls, let’s wash the dishes!”

  A bowl of water was brought, the man glanced at Saburo and said: “What a spirited young man, I’m afraid he will be able to join the army in the future.”

   “I’m afraid it won’t be my turn!”

  The two started chatting, the man was well-informed, and Wang Fu couldn’t help nodding frequently.

   “By the way, did you see a small official coming to your house just now?”

   “Yes! The county wants a civilian husband.”

  Wang Fu smiled.

  The man sighed: “It’s spring! There’s a lot of work in the field, who will wait for the time to work?”

  Wang Fu smiled wryly, “It is said that the ancestral grave of Li Xiang’s family in the court will be relocated to Sanyuan. Sanyuan is far away from our Huazhou, but we still have to send civilian husbands to help. It will take a lot of time to get there.”

  The man took a sip of water, frowned, and said, “Sanyuan and Zheng County are completely different. They shouldn’t be recruiting civilian husbands. Why don’t you ask?”

  Wang Fu smiled, “What about the nobleman! What can we say? Just do it.”

  The man stared at him in a daze, and asked for a long time: “If you go this way, you might get sick on the way, or… If you ask questions, you can’t go if you have to.”

  Wang Fu shook his head and said with a smile: “There may be accidents along the way, but if you refuse to question, it is a family accident. One person may have an accident and the whole family will definitely have an accident. I have no choice!”

  The man sighed, “But why are you still smiling?”

  Wang Fu smiled, “That’s how life is. Crying is a day, and laughing is also a day. The old man is the head of the family. If the old man is depressed, the whole family will be depressed. The old man smiles, and the children look at it with confidence.”

  The man’s lips moved, he hesitated to speak, and asked, “If something happens to your second child, can you still laugh?”

   Such a long journey to build a tomb is the most prone to accidents.

  Wrinkles on Wang Fu’s face seemed to get deeper, and he said with a smile: “We are ants! What is it to die an ant? At most, we can find a place where no one is around and cover our mouths and cry… What else can we do?”

  The man murmured: “I see. Then let me ask you, do you hate these officials?”

  Wang Fu is silent.

  The man nodded, “I understand. But while you hate these officials, you want your children to join the army and guard the Great Tang…why?”

  Wang Fu raised his head and looked outside, his eyes brightened, “Look forward!”

  …

  Outside the state, three hundred civilian husbands gathered.

  Wang Er Er was inside, carrying a burden on his back, staring blankly at the officials in front of him.

   “Going to Sanyuan, you have to do your best. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don’t do well… the whole family is unlucky! Did you hear that?”

  Wang Lao Er followed the crowd and shouted: “I heard it.”

  Someone shouted: “However, Sanyuan is so far away! After all the trips, plus one or two months without doing anything, the work in this field has been delayed. Who will take care of it?”

  The official had a fierce look in his eyes, “It’s your blessing to work for the nobleman, what kind of work are you thinking about. Who said that? Find out, yeah, beat him to death today!”

   Wang Er Er trembled, and took a step back.

  A man was caught out.

  The officer raised his whip.

   “Yeah, **** you today!”

   “You try smoking him?”

  A man rushed out from the slanting stab and stood in front of the civilian husband.

Snapped!

  The whip fell and hit the man’s shoulder.

  The man punched without hesitation.

  Boom!

  The official was punched in the face, and his face suddenly blossomed.

   “Take it!”

   He covered his nose and shouted.

   “It’s the Diming Mansion!”

What?

   A group of people were dumbfounded.

   Isn’t Di Renjie standing in front of the civilian husband!

  The official held his nose and was stunned.

   “Di Renjie?”

“Do you think I’m on my way to Chang’an at this moment?” Di Renjie looked at the peasants with anger in his eyes, “Liao Shijun ordered me to recruit the peasants, but he refused to tell the whereabouts of the peasants. The old man refused, and then Liao Shijun ordered I’m going to Chang’an. How can everything be so coincidental? I just went out of the city for five miles and turned back, just in time to see the officials expropriating civilian husbands.”

  Wang Er was stunned, “Why does this person look like the one I saw when I left the house?”

  The official said angrily: “Di Renjie, just wait,” he turned around and ran into the state house after speaking.

  Di Renjie turned around and shouted: “Everyone go back! Everyone go back!”

  Three hundred civilian husbands did not move at all.

   “He is just the county magistrate, but Liao Shijun is the one who decides in Huazhou.”

  Wang Er Er muttered: “Di Mingfu is a good man, but good people often end up with bad results!”

   Di Renjie saw that no one was moving, so he said: “This matter is not official, you don’t need to go, just go back!”

   “Di Renjie!”

  There was a roar in the state, and then Liao Youchang came out.

He looked gloomyly at the commotion of the civilian husbands, and said: “Your Majesty nodded when Li Xiang moved to the ancestral grave. Not only did he mobilize the civilian husbands, but all the officials in the court and the nobles in Chang’an all sent funerals. There are only 300 civilian husbands in Huazhou. It was just for show, but you, Di Renjie, sabotaged it many times.”

   Those civilian husbands immediately stood upright.

  Di Renjie felt sad in his heart.

  Liao Youchang said: “The old man has been lenient to you several times, but you have not changed after repeated admonitions. In this way, the old man’s treatment of you is not regarded as punishment for ignoring your education.”

  Di Renjie said: “Dare to ask Mr. Liao, is there an order from the court to enlist the civilian husbands this time?”

  There is wool!

  Liao Youchang sneered and said: “Your county magistrate’s responsibilities are temporarily suspended, and Fan Jin will take over. Wait for the old man to go to the court to explain this matter…you just wait until you lose your position and resign!

  Di Renjie was angry, “There is no order in the court to enlist civilian husbands, but is there an order in the state? Your Liao envoy voluntarily conscripted civilian husbands to Sanyuan in order to flatter Li Yifu.”

  The official said coldly: “So what?”

yes!

so what?

  There are so many things that local officials recruit people to work at will, can you, Di Renjie, handle it?

  Di Renjie was furious, “This is the common people, not your servant!”

  Liao Youchang said lightly: “Go back and wait. From now on, the affairs of Zheng County have nothing to do with you!”

   This is being suspended.

   Di Renjie felt sad in his heart, thinking that this time he hated Shangguan again, stepped down for the second time, and thought that there would never be a third recovery.

  Do I regret it?

  Di Renjie shook his head and said stubbornly: “I will write this matter to the court.”

  The officials around Liao Youchang sneered: “How majestic Li Xiang is, if he doesn’t write the letter, he will be punished. How can Li Xiang spare him lightly if he writes the letter? He might be exiled with just a crime.”

   Li Yifu is particularly quick in doing things like this.

  Liao Youchang nodded, “By the way, is there any power in Di Renjie’s family?”

  The official shook his head, “It has long been defeated.”

  Liao Youchang laughed, “If this is the case, you are asking for your own death!”

  The official said: “Look at those civil servants, who would listen to him? This is how officials and senior officials crush people to death!”

  Di Renjie walked over slowly.

  The folks bowed their heads.

   They don’t understand anything.

  So I should call the shots for them!

  Di Renjie thought so.

  Liao Youchang and the others looked at him coldly.

   “How can a man in the Tang Dynasty be ungrateful?” A man suddenly raised his head, his face flushed, “Mansion Di Ming, thank you very much!”

  The peasants raised their heads one by one.

   Hand over!

   “Thank you Di Mingfu!”

  …

Good night!
