Crown Tang emperor

But the situation is different now, he is now in the fourth grade of government, and he has a real job in his body. No one can tell when he will be under the young king's office. Work hard, even if you don't make deep friendships and just seek a face-to-face relationship, you still have to maintain the harmony that should be maintained.

The Chang Dynasty is due to the occasional meeting and ranks by position. That is to say, although Li Tong has the title of first-rank county king, he can only be ranked behind the Lintai officials in the ranks, and cannot surpass the provincial officials.

Lintai Supervisor is also a member of the third rank, before Suzheng and Jiusiqing.Li Tongguan lives in the Shaojian of Lintai, and the train is also located in front of the Shaoqing of the temples.Such trains also reflect the nobleness of Lintai Secretary Province.

However, due to his own noble title, Li Tong has no need to be courteous to other temple dignitaries except that he is inferior to the high-ranking official Lintai Supervisor. He can be directly behind the Lintai Supervisor, so his position is also very high.

The supervisor of Lintai, named Shen Junliang, is over 60 years old, not too tall, and has the demeanor of a young man with white hair and a high moral character.He once served as prime minister briefly in the early years of Chui Gong, and after a few years of ups and downs in the officialdom, now he lives in this prestigious position, quite a bit of optimism, tranquility and self-preservation.

The day before yesterday, Li Tong went to Lintai to take up his post, and had already seen the officials of Lintai. At this time, seeing that the superintendent Shen Junliang was already in the squad, he went straight to greet him.

If we talk about it strongly, he and Shen Junliang, a Shangguan, still have a relationship of friendship.Shen Junliang is from Wukang, Huzhou, that is, the Wu Xingshen family in the Jiangdong family in the Southern Dynasty, and Li Tong's mother family is also the Wu Xingshen family.

However, this relationship is just a gossip, and no one will take it too seriously. After all, the family has a long history and many clans.Especially after these noble families from the Southern Dynasties entered the Sui and Tang Dynasties, either for their own futures or to avoid disasters, they had already moved to different places, and their kinship with each other became more indifferent.

"The Great King Zongzhi Qingjun suddenly entered the imperial court, can he endure the hard work of the stars and the moon?"

Seeing the young king entering the class, Shen Junliang also nodded to him, with a very kind demeanor, and took the initiative to take a step forward to make room for the young king in the train behind him.

"Since I have entered the post, I will be dedicated to the affairs of the minister. I enjoy a lot of grace and wealth, follow the sages, Baoyu is a mere laggard, and shallow people, how dare they boast."

Li Tong replied to Shen Junliang with a smile, and at the same time nodded to Yang Zaisi and Li Sizhen, the Suzheng doctors on the left and right, and then stepped into the front class to stand still.

Basically, those who can get to this point are all old courtiers who are five or sixty years old.Before the Wangshuo Dynasty, Li Tong was accompanied by his second brother Li Shouli, but now a young and handsome little fresh meat mixed with a group of old guys and senior officials, it always feels a little weird.

But fortunately, the front and rear trainees are not sharp-edged, such as Shen Junliang, who has been exhausted by the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years, and is just dawdling in being kind to others.

As for Yang Zaisi behind him, he was originally an official of Shangshu Shenglang, and the reason why he was promoted to Suzheng doctor of Zuotai was because of the benefits of the young king.He was one of the first batch of courtiers who reacted quickly and responded to the auspiciousness of the Baoyu Jing.

So after seeing the young king entering the class, Yang Zaisi reacted very enthusiastically, and took the initiative to take a big step back, sweeping his robes to Li Sizhen, a doctor from the right station behind the train, and raised his hand to make false quotations. Shi waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty is too modest. The quality and endowment of a stranger are not good enough. With years of hard work, you can gain the ability to be diligent and diligent. This is true for you gentlemen. If you are young and intelligent, the quality of jade is natural, and this is true for Your Majesty!"

Although Li Tong also knew that Yang Zaisi was a person with little integrity, but he was a little flattered to hear a third-rank official of Xiantai flattering himself so blatantly.

But before he opened his mouth to respond, there was a slightly abrupt shout from the front class: "The king is here already? I've been waiting for you for a long time, why stop at Weiban? Hurry up and stand side by side!"

With such a big tone, it is Xue Huaiyi who regards the third-rank train as humble. Needless to say, it can only be Xue Huaiyi.Li Tong looked forward outside the first class, and saw Xue Huaiyi with a red face waving to him in front of the prime minister's class. Because of his actions, everyone in the front and back also looked at the two of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle and embarrassing .

Li Tong was also a little helpless, and raised his finger to point to the front and rear trains, and made a gesture of placing himself here, but Yang Zaisi behind him had already raised his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and Master Xue have a deep friendship, It is really enviable to be a beautiful branch in the world."

Hearing this, Li Tong's face darkened even more, and he tried to hold back so he didn't stare at Yang Zaisi, but his heart was already filled with slander, your whole family is beautiful!You are so envious, why don't you take Xue Huaiyi's beautiful branch and insert it into your own wife!

Shen Junliang in front also nodded to Li Tong, and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be confined to work, you might as well go straight."

Xue Huaiyi was still waving his hand in greeting, Li Tong didn't want to attract people's attention too much, and apologized to Shen Junliang for being rude, and then walked forward quickly.It's just that when he passed a group of Wenchang Shangshu trains, he heard Xia Guan Shangshu Wu Sansi's slight evil laugh.

Xue Huaiyi has never been a delicate person who cares about other people's feelings, and he doesn't feel that his chaotic shouting is disgusting, and there may even be a censor who has already secretly poked his belly to participate in his chaotic rituals.

"I said goodbye to Wang Qipan a few months ago, how did I know that today I am honoring the city?"

When Li Tong walked in front of him, Xue Huaiyi laughed loudly, raised his hand and patted the young king's shoulder, with a look of relief and pride on his face.

Feeling a lot of strange eyes around him, Li Tong felt dizzy even more, just waved his hands dryly and said with a dry smile: "Master Xue broadcasting the fortress, it's a true deed of generosity. Occasionally, Baoyu Que got a little lucky, how dare you compare it to beauty."

When Xue Huaiyi heard the young king claiming his name, a trace of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously glanced at Wu Sansi in the class, then laughed and patted Li Tong on the back to welcome him into the class.

Li Tong kept these details in his eyes, and sighed again in his heart, judging from this posture, life should no longer be the same as before.The situation is different, and the relationship between him and Xue Huaiyi may not be the same as before.

Chapter 0172

Today Asahi is also lackluster. It is basically the aftermath of the previous incidents, mainly related to the adjustment of Nanya's military power.

If it is said that before Wu Zetian was afraid of the constraints and pressure from the prime minister and ministers from other states, and did not dare to place his mediocre nephews in important positions, then after winning the prime minister Zhang Guangfu and several governors of big states, There is much less fear in this regard.

Originally, the warriors of the Wu family had been assigned to the imperial guards of the northern and southern yamen, and they were still set up as expedients such as school inspectors and outsiders, but in the following period of time, they gradually removed the expedients and became custom-made.

In addition, the newly transferred Nanya generals, such as Qu Chongyu and Quan Xiancheng, also did not have high political appeal because of their status as generals, and they did not pose a threat.

In addition, there are all kinds of rewards and rewards. As many as several people have been promoted or given casual positions of up to five or six ranks for nothing because of their compliance with Xianrui.Hearing the contents of this aspect, Li Tong just looked at his nose and his heart calmly, and did not reveal his sense of shame as the instigator.

As the morning sun was drawing to a close, Xue Huaiyi, who had been standing peacefully in front of the class, suddenly rushed out of the class, and said loudly, "I have played!"

His voice was loud and loud, and all the officials in the hall were startled. Even the emperor Wu Zetian looked at Xue Huaiyi in surprise, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "How can the general benefit the country?" Is it urgent for the court to report?"

"The minister may not dare to say that it is beneficial to the country, but it is actually beneficial to the support of scholars..."

Xue Huaiyi gave an impassioned speech, and the next thing he said was that the court, especially the prime ministers in the political affairs hall, were procrastinating and slack in doing things, and they were unable to implement the awards and rewards for the state and county officials who conquered the fortress and worked hard to help the military: "All The army is brave, all of them are heroic and strong, and the government ordered them to go to the frontier, not daring to resign or act cowardly..."

Xue Huaiyi's words were impassioned, he only said that if the soldiers were not rewarded generously, the bravery of the army might be hurt, and the country might no longer have the courage to defend against the strong bandits.If it weren't for the shiny brain, it would make people look a little bit playful, and this powerful declaration would undoubtedly stand as a hawk and titan.

It's just that his words failed to arouse much resonance, but instead made the whole hall and all the officials whisper.Li Tong couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Wu Zetian who was sitting upright in the hall, and seeing his grandma's face was calm, neither happy nor angry, he couldn't help but sighed again, Xue Huaiyi was really lost during his trip.

Some people have a shallow city, unrestrained emotions, and are easily confused by foreign objects.Many poets and writers have such characteristics. When they are proud, they look down and sing wildly, and when they are frustrated, they are sad and fashionable.This kind of personality is not necessarily bad, it is sensitive and full of emotion, even if it cannot show itself in the present, but it can be left behind by singing or chanting.

But if you have such a character, but unfortunately you don't have a wonderful pen to express your thoughts and feelings, then driven by enthusiasm, you can only change your tricks to die.

Xue Huaiyi is naturally very popular right now, and he is out and out the top traffic of the gods.To be honest, with such honor and favor, even a person with a firm mind and deep self-knowledge finds it difficult to maintain a normal mind, let alone a bastard like Xue Huaiyi who, after a long trip, returns as if he regarded himself as a real person. The pillar of the country and the famous general of Dingbian.

But the problem is, it's all right if you misjudged your ability, openly challenge the prime minister in the hall, ask for merit for the soldiers, and seek titles for the state ministers, what do you want to do?

Li Tong didn't think what Xue Huaiyi wanted to do. He had a relatively comprehensive understanding of Xue Huaiyi during the previous relationship.This guy is smart, but he has absolutely no great wisdom. He can be tricky and domineering in the street, but if he is really in a complicated interpersonal relationship, there is really no trade-off between pros and cons.

According to Li Tong's understanding of Xue Huaiyi, there is a high probability that this guy was used as a gun.

The soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition traveled all over the world, and seeing Xue Huaiyi gain such respect after returning to the capital, they were naturally more or less unwilling to waste their journey in vain. Even if these soldiers from other states have limited ways to claim credit, they can only appeal It's just Xue Huaiyi.

This guy Xue Huaiyi is a wanderer and a knight-errant in his hometown, and he couldn't bear the incitement of three sentences. He felt that he had three iron friendships with those people, so he made a big deal to speak out for them. This scene happened because he didn't give him the face of General Xue.

But the prime ministers also have to face. Now everyone knows what kind of thing is this meritorious deed in the frontier. Letting you, Xue Huaiyi, boast and show off, is already frightened by the emperor's lust, and has to hold his nose and bear it. , but you old boy still wants to set up a big wholesale business to make a personal favor, so everyone in the world will be blind that day?

Not to mention the whispers of the ministers, among the prime ministers, even Wu Chengsi, who always liked to cater to Xue Huaiyi, kept his head down and stared at the ground to count the ants, not daring to speak out at this moment.

As for the other prime ministers, they all showed more or less anger on their faces, while Nei Shi Cen Changqian turned his head and looked at the new prime minister Yang Zhirou, meaning that you can handle this matter.

Being so resented by his colleagues, Yang Zhirou had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave the class, and his tone slowly echoed. What he said was nothing more than the complexity of the ranks of soldiers in this expedition. There is no unified standard for all kinds of rewards for slave-like servants, and the political affairs hall also needs to make a ruling, and a unified standard cannot be come up with in the short term.

In the end, Yang Zhirou did not forget to pick himself out. Since Chen Xin entered the political affairs hall, he is not yet familiar with the affairs of the political affairs hall. In addition, he is also a recruiter and goes in and out with the army, so he needs to avoid suspicion in the determination of meritorious deeds. Please God Emperor Appoint another prime minister to handle the matter.

After watching this farce from beginning to end, not to mention Wu Zetian's intentions, Li Tong understood the crux of the current situation.

That is, his grandma's selfish desires are unstoppable, and all political behaviors revolve around the purpose of acting as the Tang dynasty, and it is not a typical political norm for a female protagonist to rule the country, so many personnel arrangements around this purpose naturally become inappropriate. normal.

Those who can be used by him must be people with great defects in personality or ability. Apart from other things, the superficiality and irresponsibility shown by Xue Huaiyi and Yang Zhirou just fell below the bottom line.

Of course, when evaluating others, Li Tong did not forget to reflect on himself. Why is he not like this in the eyes of others?

In the end, it was Wu Zetian who spoke out to temporarily suspend the farce, and ordered Yousi to draw up a detailed merit list as soon as possible and hand it over to the Political Affairs Hall for approval and implementation.

Not to mention how other people feel about this, after retiring from the court, Xue Huaiyi was very proud.

He had always held resentment towards the prime ministers, and it wasn't just against a specific person. When the upstarts suddenly appeared, in order to avoid the prime ministers' censure, he didn't even dare to linger in and out of the Nanya imperial city, and had to choose the north gate to enter and exit the palace.

This psychological shadow has continued to this day. He returned to the court with great achievements and disobeyed the prime minister in front of the palace, but the prime ministers did not dare to be harsh. This made him feel very satisfied, as if he had won the battle .

"Is the king free today? During this expedition, we will enjoy many folk songs from other states. Although they are not elegant, they have their own taste. Let's go to the inner Jiaofang, let's work together to expand, present music and feast, Cheng Xinmei!"

After exiting the court, Xue Huaiyi pulled Li Tong and said with a smile.

After Li Tong heard this, he felt even more speechless. Your brother was a blockbuster in the court and scolded the prime minister, but after retiring from the court, you are so happy to engage in this kind of entertainment, isn't this a bit of a contrast?

"I want to interrupt Master Xue's elegant interest. Today is different from the past. The God-Emperor grants me a new post, and I don't dare to ask for a vacancy immediately. I always have to support it for a few days to block the population, so as not to be ridiculed by others."

Li Tong cupped his hands to apologize and smiled wryly.

"That's not bad. If I was appointed at that time, I'd be leaving today. If I hadn't been so loyal and diligent, I wouldn't have been able to achieve today's glory. Wang Yi encourages himself, lives up to the emperor's grace, and sings a little song. You can choose another leisure time."

Xue Huaiyi didn't express anything special when he heard this, but his expression was a little disappointed and regretful: "I have the freedom of living at home, and the hard work of doing things. This is really a gain and a loss. Forget it, I'm too lazy To deal with the boring idlers, return to the temple for now."

Li Tong sent Xue Huaiyi outside Duanmen, waved goodbye, and agreed to return someday.

Xue Huaiyi was led towards Tianjin Bridge by the soldiers of the imperial army, and his own attendant led the mount, suddenly another figure flashed out, it was the Xia official Shangshu Wu Sansi who had come here.

Wu Sansi stepped forward to grab the reins, led the horse up to Xue Huaiyi, and said in surprise, "Where is Master Xue going? I also invited some colleagues to pay a visit and ask about the majesty of the army."

"Haha, what's the prestige to talk about, it's just a boring trip. What I've seen recently are all idle people who tend to disturb me, so I don't have time to hang out with old friends."

Xue Huaiyi took advantage of the situation to get on the horse, while Wu Sansi continued to hold the reins and guide him. He didn't feel embarrassed by the crowd watching, but he just laughed and said as he walked: "Seeing Master Xue and the young king coming out together, the affection is enviable. But I don't know the young king Why did you abandon the follower and let Master Xue ride the stubborn horse?"

"The young king has his own rank. He is elegant and clean. He is an arrogant young man. How can he take care of innocent people carefully?"

Xue Huaiyi replied casually, and sensitively raised his whip and tapped Wu Sansi's arm holding the rein: "I have whipped and killed fierce horses for a long time in the army, but there is no need for Shangshu to be so stingy, but let the left and right laugh at my weak horse .”

Wu Sansi was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but he still raised his face and said to Xue Huaiyi: "It is the official position of Shangshu Xia to reward the soldiers of the expedition. I also want to thank Master Xue for his words and guidance. Master Xue, don't leave me alone."

Wu Sansi's attentive attitude also made Xue Huaiyi feel useful, so he led his mount and chatted about his affairs in Jinei during the time he was not in the city while walking forward.

Wu Sansi chased after him, naturally he didn't have any good intentions, and after chatting for a few words, he said: "Master Xue is really a rare hero in the world. He built bright halls and mansions in Ji, and bravely built bows and horses in the border. It's the method of Shamen. Kui. It's just that there are always gossips in the capital, because of the incident of the Ruijing a few days ago, there are a lot of rumors, and the knowledge is biased..."

Xue Huaiyi originally felt good about himself, but he frowned after hearing the words, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me carefully."

Chapter 0173

After sending Xue Huaiyi away, Li Tong returned to the imperial city inside Duanmen and headed for Lintai official residence.

Lintai Guanxi is located on the fourth horizontal street in the south of Xichaotang, which is the west of the first horizontal street in Duanmen.The first official residence on this side street is the Suzheng Terrace that all the courtiers fear to avoid, and it is also the most active place in the entire imperial city.

The censor is an official who specializes in picking pricks, and the official house is arranged next to the Duanmen. There is probably a feeling that officials will be under surveillance as long as they enter the imperial city.

Li Tong also unconsciously straightened his waist as he passed the gate of Suzhengtai official residence, without looking sideways.But even so, a green-robed official rushed out and stopped him. Although his tone was polite, it was meant to question: "Zhang Conglian, a low-ranking supervisor, may I ask the two guides at the front and back to walk, whether they are officials or not?" out of the house?"

The so-called insiders are similar to Li Tong's outsiders, they are all extra members outside the establishment, while insiders refer to the non-staff members of Yushitai.This system started in the Zhenguan period, when Emperor Taizong of Tang appointed Ma Zhou Buyi as the supervisory censor Lixing, and then gradually increased, usually half of the Lihang was in the number of employees.

But when Empress Wu came to the court, Wu Zetian's urination must be carried forward, and the procedure of appointing Lixing is much simpler than that of the official censor, so the servants and supervisors are very popular. , I am afraid there are dozens or hundreds of people.

Li Tong pointed to Yang Sixuan behind him and said with a smile: "These two middle-ranking officials are employed by the government. They have been around for a long time and are familiar with the gate orders of the city gate. Please allow them to walk on the road."

Ordinary courtiers, even prime ministers, are not allowed to bring their own servants to work in the imperial city.There is an exception that the emperor is sympathetic to his courtiers and rewards servants for their service, and they can only be brought in by applying for the right to pass through the door.

Of course, whether this is sympathy or surveillance is a matter of opinion, anyway, ordinary courtiers try their best to shirk this honor.Li Tong's status is special, and he can't shirk it even if he wants to.

But there is no need to shirk it, as long as Yang Sixuan is by his side, apart from those Nanya military positions, his force value is second to none, who dares to stare at him and release Yang Sixuan to tear you apart!

Although the young king had explained it very clearly, Zhang Conglian, the supervising censor, still meticulously copied down the entry and exit certificates of Yang Sixu and his family, and then stepped aside with an apology, as if he was looking for a secretary to ask for proof.This kind of correct work attitude is reassuring.

But this reassurance is only limited to Wu Zetian, a high-ranking person. Anyway, Li Tong was a little upset when he was stopped in the street for questioning.

But he had to hold back his displeasure. He just turned his head to look at the grand official building of Suzhengtai, and couldn't help but slander him. Maybe it was because the official building of Suzhengtai was not big enough to accommodate too many people, which limited his grandma's life. Play, otherwise, according to his grandma's pissing nature, it is very possible to organize a monitoring team of tens of thousands of people.

Of course, this is not Li Tong's malicious speculation. Yushitai has a long history of monitoring officials.Probably because Wu Zetian felt that Suzhengtai was too famous and not conducive to infiltrating into the official group, so he simply added official positions for picking up relics and making up for the vacancy in Luantai and Fengge, directly monitoring the prime ministers, adding There are dozens of members.In this way, it is not considered that the various official positions are different from the inner worship of the outer dynasty.

However, there is nothing wrong with this point. Throughout the dynasties, there is no emperor who is not guarded by officials, not to mention Wu Zetian is not so justified.Anyway, Li Tong felt that if one day he became the master of the family, this tradition must be maintained. After all, the family business is too big and it is too much to be missed.

After passing through Suzhengtai, we arrived at the official residence of Lintai.Unlike Suzhengtai’s tall and majestic official gate with two ferocious Xiezhi statues crouching in front of it, Lintai’s official palace looks a bit inconspicuous from the outside, and it’s far less crowded and noisy than Suzhengtai’s. .

When Li Tong walked to the gate of the official office, an official under the order Shi Xing came up to greet him and bowed to salute: "The supervisor has ordered that after the king enters the palace, he can go directly to the straight hall."

Li Tong nodded and went up the stairs. When he stepped into the door, he saw a tall wall. There was no painting on the front of the wall, but it was amazing to turn around and see the back. There were many treasures of ancient sages, such as Yu Shinan, Wei Zheng, Yan Shigu and other famous ministers of Zhenguan, or classic aphorisms, or famous sayings.

In Li Tong's bones, there is an arty literati sourness. When he first came to Lintai and saw this wall, the first thought flashed in his mind was to break it and steal it. If this can be preserved for future generations , It is definitely a national treasure cultural relic, and it will be handed over to the country when the time comes, why can't the big red flower be worn!

The layout of Lintai's official houses is rather quiet amidst the noise. There are several clumps of bamboo, surrounded by verandahs, weeping willows under the corridor, potted branches of Lanzhi, and an open courtyard. It is far from the crowded layout of other official houses that Li Tong has seen. , The voice is noisy.It seems that as long as one walks into it, even the most rude and noisy people will naturally be imbued with a refined and quiet temperament.

The entire official residence is not small in scale, when Li Tong walked around the wall, he saw many officials in the corridors walking to both sides of the atrium road, bowing their hands to him, the new chief in the office, there were all kinds of people. Several people lined up to the front of the straight hall steps in the middle hall.

The position of this arrangement is also very interesting, basically the lower the official position, the closer to the peripheral position.But there was one exception, and that was Li Tong's friend Li Qiao.

Li Qiao was in his early forties, and he was 30 years younger than the young king, so they seemed to have forgotten their friendship.He was dressed in a scarlet robe, standing in front of other officials in mottled soap robes. Seeing the young king bypassing the wall, he clasped his arms and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday I waited for the imperial edict. Before the court, just wait for the king to enter the palace."

When Li Tong saw this, he walked quickly for a few steps, and also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The scholar who has been waiting for a long time may not be Xiao Wang. "Chun Jiang" can't be completed for a long time. You must live up to your expectations!"

After Li Qiao heard the words, he sighed and stamped his feet again, and then pulled the young king up and said, "Fortunately, the king happened to enter the idle office and urged him day and night. Are you afraid that the Chinese chapter will not be completed?"

While speaking, he led the young king to the middle hall and walked straight to the hall, and introduced the young king to Lintai officials on the way.

Li Tong followed behind Li Qiao, while nodding in response to the officials' greetings, he remembered a historical story in his heart.That is, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Emperor Sima Rui of Jin and Yuan moved south. Because he was a partial branch of the clan and his reputation was too weak, he was not valued by the Jiangdong gentry. Rui led the horse and drove, so that Sima Rui could gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong.

The reason why I thought of this story was that it was somewhat similar to Li Tong's current situation.Although he belonged to Li Tang's family, he was more politically sensitive, and he was suddenly placed in such an honorable position as Lintai Shaojian by his grandmother, which inevitably aroused criticism.

The officials in Lintai might not openly ridicule them like those election idlers in the village, but they would inevitably be left out in the cold.

This is also a very interesting phenomenon in the officialdom. Before he came to Lintai to go through the entry procedures, even the No. [-] chief officer, Shen Junliang, was very polite to him. On the contrary, almost none of those low-ranking officials such as school books and orthographic characters have seen him. It was clear that this was not giving the young king face.

But now that Li Qiao stood up to meet him in person, and showed a deep friendship with the young king, it immediately caused quite a stir among the officials. Li Tong could already see many people who were still sideways in the veranda It can be seen that Li Qiao still has great prestige and appeal in Lintai, even stronger than Lintai supervisor Shen Junliang who once served as prime minister.

There is nothing surprising about this, literati are inherently tangled and hypocritical, with both aloofness and snobbery.Although Shen Junliang served as the supervisor of Lintai, his reputation was far inferior to that of Li Qiao, both academically and literaryly.More importantly, he has no promising prospects in his official career.

Official rank was never the only criterion for Tang people to evaluate a person's political future.Li Qiao was born in the Li family of Zhao County, far from being comparable to the Jiangdong gentry whose reputation plummeted after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The age of 40 is the prime of life, when a political figure is full of opportunities.

Moreover, Li Qiao has rich qualifications. He has served as Jiwei for a long time, and once served as the supervisor of the censor and supervisor of the army. After returning to the court, he waited in the ban for many years.Although he was originally a sixth-rank Lintai Lang, his promotion was only a short period of time. It seems that he was promoted to a fifth-rank author not long ago, and he was released from the writing bureau under Lintai. Anyone can see that the future is boundless .

I am in a different situation, even if I make different behaviors, I am afraid that it will be judged differently in the eyes of others.Shen Junliang is so respectful to the young king, in the eyes of these young people, he is afraid that he is following the power and fearing the powerful.Li Qiao's courteous reception may show that the young king really has something worthy of respect.

The despise of the old and respect for the strong in the officialdom is fully revealed at this moment.There are many truths in the world, which are roughly the same as ancient and modern.

Li Tong had been in the officialdom for a few years in his previous life, and he had a deep grasp of the psychology of these young school books and orthographic characters. There is a kind of arrogance and resentment.
