Chapter 383 Double Happiness
Seeing the strange expression on Li Chengzhi's face, the emperor thought he was afraid of difficulties, and said with a sneer: "You dare to beat Yuan Yue, and even kill Yuan Yi. Now you are just a few anointed disciples, and you are scared ?”

Can it be the same?

Yuan Yue and Yuan Yi are only two if they are tied together, but now they are trained by a brigade, a total of five hundred?

They are full of dudes, maybe some tough measures will be used.At that time, if the young one is beaten, it is difficult to guarantee that the old one will not come out...

Li Chengzhi groaned for a while, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty treats my ministers with great kindness, and I have nothing to repay them. I can only work hard and work hard. I am afraid that I will lose the grace of God, so I would like to ask Your Majesty, can you give me the right to make decisive decisions in military affairs!"

Liu Teng frowned.

Li Chengzhi is clearly afraid of being restrained, and he is going to kill chickens as soon as he takes office, or is he going to kill others to establish his prestige? .

It is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to kill the army first and then act decisively.

Is it true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and are not afraid of poking a hornet's nest?

I thought that the emperor would not agree no matter what, but he waved his hand without any hesitation: "So what if you are allowed?"

Li Chengzhi blinked his eyes and stared at the emperor in a daze, thinking that his ears were not listening...

It shouldn't be: To tell the truth, Li Chengzhi is also a brigade commander, and above him there is General Huben, who is the commander of the army, and Sima Huben, who specializes in military discipline.Further up, there are General Huben and General Huben Zhonglang.

I wanted to lay an ambush for the emperor: Don't you think I'm timid, so I'll show you the older one.Thinking about hearing that Li Chengzhi wanted to kill him, the emperor would most likely not agree.

That would be easy: if the job is not done well then, Li Chengzhi will have an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Don't you know that Yuan Ke is not so straightforward?

Surprised in my heart, I raised my head slightly, and saw the emperor seemed to be sneering.

It's over...it seems to be fooled?

"It's rare for you to be so responsible. It seems that you know the truth about eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king. Therefore, I will not approve the resignation form you submitted to the palace affairs..."

Li Chengzhi screamed in his heart: Don't...

How could he be allowed to complain, the emperor pointed at Liu Teng: "Later, I will send an order to my disciples, Zhongshu, Xuanbu, etc., and give Li Chengzhi the title of officials: Jia Wuqi Changshi Appreciation of hunting, from the sixth rank). Adding an attendant to the imperial master (imperial doctor, sixth rank). Adding Zhang Lang (serving the emperor’s diet, from the sixth rank)...and the previous invitation to the court, together with the decree..."

It's not just the pain in his heart, Li Chengzhi was stunned.

At first glance, it sounds like there are many officials, and all of them are close servants, all of which are jobs that ordinary people dream of.But the question is: How can there be an official lower than his own job?

The key point is that his salary has been fined by the emperor for eight years or ten years, even he himself forgot.

It means that from now on, he will have to work for the emperor for many years in vain, and there are several jobs...

Just beep the dog?
Li Chengzhi was about to decline, but before he even opened his mouth, he heard the emperor say: "If Mrs. Guo doesn't allow it, let her enter the palace to see me..."

This is following the words of Li Chengzhi's memorandum, blocking his mouth: Isn't your mother not allowed, then let her ask me...

You don't even let her enter the city, but also enter the palace?

Can she get in?
Cursing secretly in his heart, seeing the emperor waving his sleeves impatiently, he meant to stop making noise and get out of here.

The emperor has learned a lesson: as long as Li Chengzhi shuts up, he won't have to be angry with him...

On the contrary, Li Chengzhi only felt his breath stuck in his chest, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it.

"My minister... according to the order!"

He bowed with a depressed face, ready to leave.Seeing that the emperor suddenly remembered something, he summoned his hands: "I don't ask you about the crime of murdering the clan, and you don't go to find Yuanyi to ask for your orbs. If Yuanyi dares to retaliate against you, you I came here to find me..."

Li Chengzhi suddenly realized: No wonder the emperor didn't give you a stick first when entering the door as he did a few times before, and then give you a sweet date depending on your mood. So he was waiting here?

As long as you are willing, the so-called Xuanli Orb can pull a cart a month.It's not too cost-effective to exchange Yuan Yi's leg...

"Reduce his ice tax to [-]%. The smoothies and tofu tributed to the palace will also be paid to him every month. Don't be in arrears... Well, tell the Ministry of War to buy his spirits for a thousand shi , add rosin to make kerosene for emergency needs. If it is suitable for use, buy more, or it will become a standard..."

After explaining it to Liu Teng, the emperor turned his head again: "It's my compensation for you..."

This last sentence actually warmed Li Chengzhi's heart.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no turning back, maybe he would have to be a good minister loyal to the emperor and the country for a few days.

What he told the emperor was that at least ten or twenty catties of grain could be used to produce one catty of strong oil that could be used to make kerosene.

Also known as: the central plains are humid, which is not conducive to the distribution of water vapor.Therefore, if this wine is brewed, it is best to choose it in hot and dry places such as Hebei (north of the Yellow River) and Hexi...

This was because he was afraid that the emperor would force him to hand over the formula.I was also worried that the emperor would be happy to see Lie Xin, and he had a whim, what if he was asked to make wine and kerosene?
Even if you want to go, you have to go to Hexi.At that time, the sea will be wide enough for fishes to leap, and the sky will be high for birds to fly...

Didn't expect the emperor to directly ask for wine?
How and where to brew it is naturally Li Chengzhi's final say.

What's more important is: one thousand stone wine is more than 1 to [-] stone grains. Li Chengzhi can justifiably purchase grain from Central Plains, Hedong, Guanzhong and other places, and transport it to Guanzhong, or Hexi...

Why do we need to use the names of Hu merchants and Zahu tribes to buy grain?

There is no need for Zhang Jingzhi, Li Shixian, etc. to rack their brains to think about how to transport tens of thousands of stone grains to Hexi without being discovered by Xi Kangsheng and other local officials in Hexi?

Your Majesty is really...so considerate...

For a moment, Li Chengzhi didn't know whether he should be grateful or feel guilty.

This grain was transported to Hexi, but it was used to raise soldiers.This soldier was raised, but it was used to rebel...

After a little silence, he bowed deeply: "Chen... Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Ke took a deep breath: It's not easy, to see a day when this rebellious minister is completely convinced by me?
"Don't just talk about it."

The emperor waved his hand, "Be courageous in doing things and fulfill your duties to live up to my expectations..."

Li Chengzhi even claimed yes, bowed down again, and then retreated respectfully.

Seeing him exiting the hall backwards, he turned and left after stepping over the threshold with both feet.Liu Teng's eyeballs straightened.

It was right in the past, when didn't Li Chengzhi turn around and leave after resigning?All the emperor saw was the back of his head and his butt every time.

This is really the first time I have experienced such respect...

Liu Teng's heart moved, and he thought of the emperor's words and deeds when he and Yu Zhong mentioned Li Chengzhi when he was poor and bored: look at his beating Yuan Yue, angering Hu Chonghua, and his words and deeds when he was right with Zhen Zuo , we know that Li Chengzhi seems to be rude and arrogant, but in fact he acts very well.At least it won't let you easily grasp his mistakes or handles...

Later, when talking about the stability of the Hu family, the emperor mentioned Xi Kangsheng's evaluation of Li Chengzhi: "It seems to be cunning, but it is actually gentle and kind, and it values ​​love and righteousness."If you can master it well, you will be a strong help... This is about Li Chengzhi's past before he fell out with Hu Baozong.

At this moment, it seems that His Majesty should have found a good way to control Li Chengzhi according to Xi Kangsheng's sentence?
Didn't expect it to work so fast?
Liu Teng really admired: Your Majesty is indeed His Majesty...

……

The joy on Li Chengzhi's face was almost overflowing, and he hummed a ditty all the way.

Once the food problem is solved, it is equivalent to avoiding serious troubles.As long as we persist for another three or four years, the farmers in Hexi will be able to be self-sufficient.At that time, Li Chengzhi barely had the qualifications to spy on the world.

But who would have thought that this great gift was actually delivered to him by Yuan Ke himself?
Sighing in secret, Li Chengzhi walked out of Guangmo Gate with a brisk expression.

As soon as I left the city gate, there was an occasional cool breeze, and I could smell the aroma of caramel and burnt soybean milk in my nose.At most, if you walk half a mile forward, you will hear the sound of "squeaking" running water and "creaking", sometimes accompanied by the sound of dozens of people singing in unison.

The further you go, the louder the sound is, the former is like a waterfall hanging down the river, flying down.The latter is like a hundred rats gnawing, so sour that it makes people want to gnash their teeth.

The former is the sound of drawing and draining water when making ice, while the latter is the sound of grinding soybean flour and soybean milk with a stone mill.

Just passing by Xuanyin Temple, Li Chengzhi felt very funny when he saw the Zhike monk in front of the mountain gate twisted like a bitter melon.

It should be too noisy. During the day, the frightened monk can't clean up his meditation. At night, it disturbs the monk's clear dream. The monk is actually annoyed?
If Li Chengzhi came to the door to explain it properly, Li Chengzhi knew that he was wrong, and it would definitely make the craftsman restrain himself a little bit.Or it doesn't matter if the construction is stopped at night.

But the monk pretended to be a ghost in the middle of the night to scare people, almost killing Li Rui, who was watching the night.

In the end, he reported to Henan Yin, and Li Xian ordered Li Chengzhi to pay for the monk's decoction and medicine, and fined Li Rui to show the public with a shackle for one month.

Fortunately, Li Chengzhi is rich, so the fine will be reduced by one hundred gold.

Since then, the two families have become enemies...

Seeing Li Chengzhi, the retainers who guarded the gate came up to him from a distance and helped him hold the reins.

Li Chengzhi got off his horse and entered the door. When he walked in, he saw a double carriage parked at the ear door. The exterior decoration was very gorgeous.

Gao Zhan usually rides a horse when he comes here.And Yuan Yue's car is many times more luxurious than this one.

It must be these two people, Li Chengzhi couldn't help wondering: "Who came to the door?"

"It's Gu Zangbo and his wife who came to visit... Mrs. Zheng was talking with the mistress in the middle hall, and Gu Zangbo went to the middle garden, saying that he wanted to see the method of making ice that Mr. Tang turned stone into gold..."

So it was Li Shao?
He and his mother visited Li Shao's mansion the day before yesterday, and Li Chengzhi specially gave him a colorful glazed bead the size of an egg.

For ordinary people, even if this thing is not as valuable as a night pearl, it can be said to be priceless.But Li Shao accepted it without any refusal, which made Li Chengzhi secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Not for other reasons, just because Li Shao also knew that Li Chengzhi had sent soldiers in Hexi Tibet.But thinking about it, I just thought it was Li Chengzhi's helpless move when he was riding a tiger. I didn't dare to think that Li Chengzhi had the heart of disobedience...

I made a special trip to visit today, it should be a round-trip gift.Li Shixian is not here, logically only need Li Shao's wife Zheng to visit Guo Yuzhi.Li Shao also came to the door in person, this ceremony is a bit heavy.

"Quickly order Li Xie to prepare the banquet..."

Li Chengzhi confessed, and hurriedly walked to Zhongyuan.

As soon as he passed the ear door, he saw Li Shao standing on the archery tower in the courtyard, seemingly looking at him casually.There was no one else beside him, only a servant and Li Xie waited downstairs.

"I don't know Shi Bo came to the door, this junior is rude..."

This Shibo is not barking indiscriminately.Although the two do not belong to the same clan, they belong to the same origin.In terms of county prestige, Li Chengzhi must also be included in the Longxi Li family.

Moreover, in winter at most, the two families will become real relatives: just last month, before Li Shao stepped down as governor of Qizhou and entered Beijing, Zhang Jingzhi's concubine gave Li Shao's eldest son Li Yu as a concubine .Guo Cunxin's eldest daughter, that is, Guo Yuzhi's cousin Huai Shu who had always wanted to marry Li Chengzhi, promised to Li Shao's third son Li Zan as his wife.

For Li Chengzhi, Zhang Jingzhi and Guo Cunxin can be said to be grey-haired and exhausted...

"You entered the palace to listen to the imperial decree, why did you say that you were rude? Could it be that you still dare to resist the decree..."

Li Shao scolded, but his face was full of smiles, it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"Come up, talk to me..."

Li Shao pointed at Li Xie and his servants and said, "Stand back..."

Li Chengzhi didn't know what he meant, so he went upstairs respectfully.

"What did your Majesty say, did you ever punish Yuan Yi to make amends?"

"No, I just ordered the younger generation not to go to Xun Yuanyi to ask for orbs and goods!"

"One son, just exchanged some goods?"

Li Shao was slightly taken aback, then shook his head again.

No matter how expensive the night pearl is, it is still a dead thing, and Yuan Yi is disabled, and there is no hope of being a son in this life.Calculated in this way, Yuan Yi is losing money again and again.

Furthermore, even if you beat Li Shao to death, you wouldn't believe it. As Li Chengzhi said, there is only one orb left...

Although Guo Yuzhi is not as greedy for money as Li Huaide, he is by no means a prodigal.If it was something of priceless value, how could you see Li Chengzhi dropping the treasure in the palace without a trace of regret?
Li Shao sighed softly: "It's also due to your luck: Yuan Ji is used to meeting with wind and wind, and has always been submissive. If he didn't mistakenly think that Yuan Yi has no luck, how could he change his servile face and annoy His Majesty? Otherwise it would be To appease him, His Majesty will definitely punish you..."

This is indeed the case, and that's why Li Chengzhi felt that the emperor had changed from his usual indifference and suddenly became nice to him.

"After I left, His Majesty left Cui Liang alone, and called you into the palace again. It should be for your civil service, but has he ever appointed an official?"

Li Chengzhi responded in a low voice: "It's settled, the recruiter Huben General should be from the fifth rank!"

This time, Li Shao was stunned.It was even more surprising than hearing that Li Chengzhi shot and disabled Yuan Yi, but the emperor did not blame him for the slightest crime.

It's nothing more than a sudden promotion to the fifth rank, but he is still a tiger general?

Regardless of the rest, let's look at Gao Zhan.Based on His Majesty's favor towards Gao Zhao and the queen, Gao Zhan served the emperor for three years before he was named Habayashiro, one level lower than Li Chengzhi.

Even myself, I only came to Huang Menlang in the double [-]th year.Although he was also favored by the first emperor, it was all thanks to the shadow of the sixth uncle (Li Chong)...

But after thinking about it again, it seemed natural.

Not to mention that Li Chengzhi is amazingly talented, even if His Majesty can't put it down because of his elephant show, he will surely get lucky sooner or later.

The reason why Ru Hao got Pang was because he was good at playing the flute horizontally.

The reason why Zhao Xiu was lucky was that he was handsome and good at dancing.

As for Hou Gang, he is just good at shooting...

Compared with it, Li Chengzhi's meeting is more than ten times more?
"Pity!"

Li Shao said with a sigh, "I still think that if I don't like the selection of officials, I will ask you when I go to Liangzhou to take office..."

Take office?

Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he asked suspiciously, "Shibo has moved?"

"En!" Li Shao nodded, "No accident, it should be Chijie, the governor of the military in the east and west, and the governor of Liangzhou..."

Li Shao wants to be governor of Liangzhou?

Li Chengzhi was ecstatic.

What day is it today, double happiness?
