Tang Dynasty Never Night

It is said that the symptoms of falling out of love will be alleviated with the passage of time, Li Xian felt...even if time passed, he did not feel that his symptoms had alleviated, but every day when he saw Zheng Qi, he had to remind himself that this one was engaged again.

Zheng Qi's fiancée's surname is Mi this time, which is not the surname of a rich family. Even the girl's father, the governor of Jingzhou, was originally from a noble family, but he was from a small family. Central is unlikely anymore.It can be said that this girl's background is far worse than that of the previous little lady of the Pei family.

Everyone thought that Zheng Qi was affected by the death of Miss Pei, but Li Xian knew that was not the case. Zheng Qi didn't care much about his wife's family background at all, as long as his character was good, he would be fine, because At his level, even without the support of his wife and family, he is confident that he can go further.

Zheng Qi didn't say this, Li Xian guessed it himself, but it's useless for him to know Zheng Qi better.He is going to marry another girl.

In the past two days, the court has been secretly teasing about Zheng Qi getting married, even if it is the people of the Pei family. Surely - the date of Zheng Qi's marriage is scheduled to be in April next year, and this date is also approaching.

As a result, as soon as Zheng Qi got engaged, his father-in-law was demoted. Of course, it is not accurate to say that he was demoted. He was transferred from the governor of Jingzhou to the governor of Fengzhou.

Although Jingzhou is not a particularly rich place, it is better than Fengzhou. What kind of place is Fengzhou? It is next to the Turkic territory. Although the relationship between Datang and Turkic seems to be good now, Turkic is also attached to Datang. , but there are too many tribes in Turkic, and not all tribes are very friendly to Datang. Fengzhou is far worse than Jingzhou in terms of climate and environment. It is not easy to make achievements here.

In addition, the folk customs of Fengzhou are tough. As the governor of a state, the governor of Mimi has to find a way to get along with the locals before he can start his work. No matter how you look at it, he seems to be downgraded.

It is impossible for officials such as governors to be transferred without going through the central government. Zhan Dabo left a while ago, and Li Xian asked Zheng Qi to return to his post to be his servant, but the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was not accepted. It was removed, that is to say, Zheng Qi, he... Those who can do more work are working part-time.

Of course, this is mainly because...Although the King of Borneo and the envoy of the Ring King have gone back, but!The Japanese envoy is still there!This guy is still brazenly begging Datang to give them more discounts and quotas for sending overseas students, as if he wished they would move the whole country to live in Datang, which is simply a headache.

The official department still welcomes the return of this old colleague, not for anything else, because this kid is simply a genius. The work he has done before has increased the efficiency of the official department among the six departments. The most important thing is What's more, neither the saint nor the lady objected!He didn't show up when he was there, but when he left, everyone realized that there was no such a capable person, not to mention their work efficiency dropped, and there were more and more places where the saint and the lady were dissatisfied.

It is true that the Ministry of Officials is rich and vacant, but now the court can be said to be multi-headed politics, His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness Pei Wang are about the same, but it is not easy to mix with the saint and the lady.

It’s good to be back, but Zheng Qi received an order that his future father-in-law would be imprisoned by Fengzhou as soon as he went there, and then he found out that when he was busy receiving envoys from Borneo and Huanwang a while ago, his father-in-law was imprisoned.

Mi Shi was not only recruited, but he was recruited for good reasons, such as occupying fertile land and accepting bribes. However, Mi Shi was very careful. After being recruited, he naturally had to defend himself. He didn't hide the fertile land he occupied and the bribes he received, he just said it out, and said that he was forced to follow suit, otherwise he couldn't work.

What convinced the above was that the owners of the fertile land occupied by Mi Cishi all said with one voice that he was a good person and made their lives better. In addition, Mi Cishi would keep accounts every time he accepted bribes, and he directly returned the accounts to the presenter. Come up, the only thing is that there is no name written on the account book.

Mi Cishi did this after thinking about what he wanted. He knew what the atmosphere in the court is, in fact, the sage and the lady knew it well, but they just turned a blind eye. After all, even the crown prince and King Pei were accepting bribes , if it is really necessary to conduct a thorough investigation, half of the people who are going up must be reduced.

If he does this, it may make the higher-ups feel that he is not capable and his position is not firm, but that is much better. Help him speak?

This matter is due to the slow communication system of the Tang Dynasty. It has been a long time since Yushi Canren and Mi Chai have been defending themselves. After Zheng Qi came back from the work at hand, he just came to discuss how to deal with it. The question of his prospective father-in-law.

Zheng Qi: ...

Li Xian felt a little sympathetic to him. They were busy a while ago, and they didn't have the heart to take care of many things. The transaction between the two countries involves all aspects, and he is still a waste... Cough cough, mascot, many things are handled by Zheng Qi In the end, he didn't hear the news, and then he went back to his hometown, and then he was tricked into being a son-in-law by Mi Shishi in the dark.

What kind of person Zheng Qi is, needless to say, he can analyze one or two just by looking at the self-defense of Mi Cishi. Corruption and bribery are certain, but they are not so cruel, so the sentence will not be too harsh, but now The country's finances are tight and dare to run into it at this time, it can only be said that the brain is not so easy to use.

The so-called cunning of Mi Shishi is nothing to Zheng Qi. What is real cunning?The real cunning is to turn this matter into something beneficial to oneself after taking bribes, and then take this opportunity to show his face in front of strangers, making the saint think that he is really a talent for the country and the people!

But if this kind of thing really needs to be done, there will be a lot of follow-up processing. If you have this kind of brain, you can get it done. If you don’t have this brain... Even if you tell him, he can mess up the follow-up processing.

That's all about the ability of Mi Shishi. Zheng Qi never thought of talking to the prospective father-in-law. To be honest, in his opinion, if the prospective father-in-law is demoted, he can just stay there honestly. It's not him. Not helping relatives, but he doesn't need to hold back!

What's more, the daughter of Mi Cishi was rumored to be as beautiful as a fairy and infinitely virtuous. Many people didn't agree to propose marriage, but she took the initiative to propose marriage when she went back. If it wasn't for the fact that Mi's family is also a family , His parents probably wouldn't agree.

The timing is so good, who knows if Mi Cishi is "selling a girl for glory"?Zheng Qi acted very impartially on the issue of the governor of Mi, so that those who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to impeach him died down. Some people appreciated this, and some secretly murmured that it was too impersonal, and their relatives didn't care.

Li Xian had heard that on this matter, Li Xian had always wanted to defend his family's ex-Wang Fu. When he knew that Mi Shishi was involved, he knew that Zheng Qi's situation was a bit embarrassing. All the letters from Mishi asking for help are on Zheng Qi's desk.

Although it was a lie in his heart to say that Zheng Qi was not sour when he got engaged again, if necessary, he would still help a group of Mi assassins. As a result, he didn't even have a chance to speak from the beginning to the end. The governor's judgment was handed over, and the handling was extremely in line with the wishes of the saint's wife-the court is now in a state of balance, and with the new year approaching, no one wants to make any big moves.

As a result, Mi Shi was transferred, and the matter seemed to be over.Li Xian was a little depressed and couldn't help Zheng Qi, but as soon as he came out, he heard someone say sour words, he walked over with a sneer and said: "It seems that you are very "human", and someone in the family will cover up if someone breaks the law. .”

Those few people were dumbfounded for a moment. To be honest, those who dare to mutter here like this are actually not capable people. No one who is capable will leave any excuses.

These people are actually not people who can't talk back after being sprayed. Even in front of the prince, they would say something openly and secretly, but they were surprised by Li Xian's sudden irony——His Highness has become more and more low-key recently. No one in the court said a word, why is it because Zheng Qi came here to ridicule them?

After they reacted, Li Xian had already escaped with a single blow, and it was impossible for them to argue again, and then the topic changed to the story His Royal Highness Zhou Wang and Zheng Qi had to tell ==!

After Li Xian returned to the palace, he was a little depressed sitting in the study. He really wanted to comfort Zheng Qi, but when Zheng Qi lived alone, he could still go there from time to time. Now that his parents are here, he can It was not so good in the past. Although visiting friends and parents is a very legitimate reason, but different identities have to act differently.

Zheng Qi could come to visit him in the palace, but he couldn't often go to Zheng Qi's place, Li Xian was depressed.

When he was depressed, the time went unhurriedly to the beginning of November. This time was the day when the governors from all over the country returned to Beijing to report on their duties. The transfer of the governor Mi was not released until this time.

Li Xian didn't see Mi Sanniang's expression, but it's said that... Mi Shishi brought his family members here when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. When Zheng Qi asked this question, he almost suffocated himself to death.

Of course, he had a breakthrough soon, because Li Xian found that Zheng Qi was obviously not in a good mood since Mi Shishi brought his family to Beijing.Of course, nothing can be seen on the surface, Zheng Qi's actions are the same as usual, and many people have not noticed.

It's just that Li Xian often observes him vaguely. Based on his understanding of Zheng Qi, he knows that the standard arc of that smile is not sincere. After several days of smiling sincerely, Li Xian feels... He needs to talk to his family Wang Fu, if there is anything he needs, he doesn't mind lending a hand.

Li Xianrang followed his own Chenggai to inform Zheng Qi unobtrusively, um, he said that he would invite him to dinner. After hearing this, Zheng Qi nodded and agreed, but he was a little strange in his heart. It can be said that after they broke up unhappy, Li Xian didn't pay him much attention, so what's the matter?

After Zheng Qi passed by, Li Xian had already prepared a table of dishes. When he saw the colors that he had never seen before, he knew that His Royal Highness King Zhou had recently begun to delve into various dishes. Zheng Qi...was a little helpless.

After eating, each of them had a glass of water—Zheng Qi, who was not a tea drinker before, also started to drink water under the influence of Li Xian.

Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi's face hesitating to speak, what should he ask?Why are you unhappy?

Zheng Qi said decisively: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Well, Li Xian was half relieved, Zheng Qi should not be angry anymore, when he was angry, he called Li Xian His Highness King Zhou.

"Qingcheng doesn't seem to be of a very high quality these two days. The court has not changed much, and the world is stable. What are you worried about?"

Zheng Qi glanced at Li Xian with a half-smile, okay, I'll talk to him in a bureaucratic way.

Zheng Qi poured himself a glass of water and was silent for a while before saying, "It's just a housework."

Li Xian was choked up immediately. They said it was a housework matter, and it seemed a bit out of bounds to ask further.But don't ask... He finally called people over and let them go after a meal?

Li Xian straightened his mind and asked directly: "Has Mi Cishi ever made things difficult for you?"

Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows: "Is it so easy for me to be embarrassed?"

"Then you still look unhappy."

Li Xian's deceitful expression made Zheng Qi's hands very itchy, and he wanted to beat up this brat, but he still endured it, put the teacup on the table and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, Mr. Mishi is such a r...personal character is not correct."

The reason why Zheng Qi dismantled his father-in-law in this way was mainly because Mi Cishi was too good at exploiting the situation. The fact that he had a close relationship with His Royal Highness King Zhou was basically known to the entire court, and he was really afraid that Mi Cishi would come and go regardless. The back door of His Royal Highness King Zhou.

He knew about Li Xian, and he was a little soft-hearted. Even if he didn't like Mi Cishi, he might help if he could because of his own sake.

What Zheng Qi has to do is to get rid of Li Xian's dangerous idea, no matter how Mi Cishi gets his way, he doesn't care!

After hearing what Zheng Qi said, Li Xian immediately looked at him nervously: "Then you are still married to his family?"

Zheng Qi's current achievement is not to marry anyone, and Mi Sanniang's conditions are not so good that she must, right?Did Zheng Qi fall in love with him at first sight?

Speaking of this, Zheng Qi also felt a little helpless: "The order of the parents is the words of the matchmaker."

Of course, the fact is that his father relied on his reputation to "run wild in the countryside", and then kicked the iron plate, and was saved by the governor of Jingzhou, and then the two parents agreed that it was quite suitable, so they decided on it up.

Zheng Qi went home in such a hurry a while ago because his father got into trouble again.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to bring his father and mother close to Beijing so quickly. Although it is the right thing for a son to take over his parents when he is promising, his father is a blank slate, and he doesn't even have any fame on him. His mother...hasn't ordered yet .

Datang stipulates that the edicts of women with foreign orders are civil and military officials of the first rank, and those who are not the first rank of the Duke of the State, and those with the third rank or above, are also the same.Of course, Zheng Qi now has a fourth-rank official position and can be hired, but these days the government is very slow in doing anything. His mother can be called a county monarch, but in fact she still has no orders.

Zheng Qi originally wanted to wait for his mother's order to come down, and then bring his parents close to Chang'an to set up a banquet, which can be regarded as a comfort to his mother. After all, it has been really difficult for his mother these years, and he must be careful not to let a husband who is heartless look at him. The son was led astray by her husband, it was a tear of bitterness.

When Zheng Qi said this, Li Xian felt strangely relieved. His first thought was: Fortunately, Zheng Qi didn't fall in love with that girl at first sight.

Later, he was even more thankful that Zheng Qi had never liked Miss Mi San.

This matter has to be started from the beginning. The transfer of Mi Shishi to Fengzhou was a huge blow to their family. Mrs. Mi San once approached Zheng Qi's house, wanting him to speak good words for her father.

After hearing this, Li Xian was a little speechless. Although the atmosphere of Tang Dynasty is open, there are really few people like Mi San.He didn't know how Zheng Qi comforted Mrs. Mi San. Later, the governor of Mi San was ordered to go to the post years ago. When he took office, Mrs. Mi San was not taken away, saying that it was to let her get acquainted with the life in Chang'an and prepare for the wedding in the coming year— —Even if the prospective son-in-law didn't speak up for him, it's impossible for Mi Cishi to just cancel the engagement, after all, this is a way out.

In the end, no one expected Mi Sanshi to be robbed when he walked halfway—it was almost the Chinese New Year, and the robbers also wanted to make a big ticket to celebrate the New Year. Then Mi San’s mother, Shen, was attacked and killed. Hearing this, he cried and passed out.

Because Mi Cishi is on the way, Shen’s body can only be transported back to his hometown’s ancestral grave and buried in the earth for safety, but because Mi Cishi has to go to his post, it is not safe for Mi San to go back alone in Chang’an, Zheng Qi...even if it is Her fiancé is not yet married, so it is impossible to accompany her on this trip.

Zheng Qi is considered considerate to this fiancée. Within the scope of his limited ability, all kinds of daily necessities and supplements are sent to Mrs. Mi San. Li Xian collects such news every time like self-torture. My heart was sour but I couldn't help but pay attention.

Then he knew that Mrs. Mi San seemed to be complaining about Zheng Qi in her heart. No matter how considerate and gentle Zheng Qi was, she never gave Zheng Qi a good face. What's more, although he delivered things, he seldom went to Miss Mi San, that is, Zheng Niang often went to visit, but every time she came out, her face was not very good-looking.

However, it’s not that Zheng Qi doesn’t care about his fiancée’s mental state, but that he doesn’t have time, and at the end of the year, there are always various summaries and commendations to sort out. As a result, at this time, the rest of the Yantuo tribe came out to make trouble up.

In the Yantuo tribe, Li Ji led his troops to break them up in the 20th year of Zhenguan, but these years they have never been contented, and they have always wanted to make a comeback. trouble.

To be honest, the entire court is very annoying, and this matter cannot be resolved, but in this cold weather, people have to be sent out to fight, and they have to coordinate food and grass, as well as soldiers and horses... these are all things.

Li Zhi's face is not good-looking anymore. Everyone wants to make a good fortune during the Chinese New Year, but this is what happened to him. The saint lady's face is not good-looking, and the work efficiency of the people below has doubled. The charter came up - let the Turks send troops to fight!

This Turkic refers to the internal attachment of Datang. Their territories are all nearby, and it was convenient in the past. It is better than Datang deploying troops around. What's more, the Yantuo tribe is said to be on the side of Urod Jianshan. The Turkic environment over there is more adaptable.

After reading it, Li Zhi also felt that this method was good, so he directly issued a decree for the Turks to beat up the Yantuo tribe. Of course, various benefits must be indispensable if they want to let them send troops. Otherwise, it is said to be attached, who knows these What will happen to Turkic people who are naturally rebellious?

But if this is the case, everyone did not expect that the Turks were actually defeated!The moment the news came, everyone was shocked. The Yantuo tribe...Although it is still called a tribe, but there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled left in that tribe. Back then, Li Ji brought two hundred Qingqi and some Turkic soldiers Just crippled this tribe, and now... defeated?

Later, news came one after another, it is said that the Turkic civil strife led to the defeat, and the court was in an uproar in an instant.Among them, Zheng Qi's expression was a little too serious. In Li Xian's impression, Zheng Qi was always calm and unhurried. He had almost never seen Zheng Qi with such an ugly face.

After the next court, he went directly to Zheng Qi, but he didn't see Zheng Qi's parents—it was said that he had gone out.

Facing Li Xian's question, Zheng Qi said very cautiously: "Something is wrong, back then... this battle was won."

The loss of this battle is indeed very suspicious, but Li Xian can't tell the reason, so he can only comfort Zheng Qi, after all, many things are different, and no one can say what's going on.

It's just that what happened next was even more unexpected-the Governor of Toyosu surrendered to the enemy!Mi Shishi once acted as a leading party, and directly let the rebellious Turkic soldiers and Yantuo tribe enter Fengzhou, and the people of Fengzhou suffered a catastrophe!

When things got to this point, Li Xian was already a little dizzy, one thing after another was too unexpected, Mi Shi... What is this for?

Facing such a situation, the imperial court hadn't discussed who would clean up the mess, but the censor stood up and said, "Zheng Qi, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers and Officials, is collaborating with the enemy."
