Chapter 127 Fiction and Reality

Following Ding Daquan's questioning, his eyes were filled with coldness, coupled with that blue face, he seemed to be an evil spirit who could see through people's hearts.

Li Xia met his gaze calmly, and said: "I only want to join the army in Shu, and stay away from the disputes in Lin'an Mansion. Naturally, I won't sneak around Prime Minister Ding Shu to catch him."

Ding Daquan looked Li Xia up and down, not sure whether he believed it or not, and finally let out a light snort, sneering: "Join the army? Only fools would like to be military officers. The real commanders of the Song Dynasty are all civilian officials."

Li Xia said: "I can't read, and I don't want to read."

"You saw Cheng Shenfu, that rotten scholar, he told you to study in the Imperial Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xia knew that 'Shen Fu' probably belonged to Cheng Yuanfeng, and replied, "Yes."

"This old man is not Cheng Shenfu, he keeps some broken rules." Ding Daquan said flatly.

In his tone, he seemed to look down on Cheng Yuanfeng, and said casually: "Since you want to go to Shu to make meritorious service, this old man arranges this and finds you a good official position."

"Xie Dingshu." Li Xia cupped his hands.

This surrender may also represent a stain on his official career.

In comparison, Cheng Yuanfeng's arrangement at that time was really considering him.

Ding Daquan agreed readily, not because he was more sincere than Cheng Yuanfeng, but because he had no bottom line.

And Li Xia followed Ding Daquan to break the rules, and when he became an official and promoted, he would inevitably be scolded as a treacherous minister, which was accused by Wan Fu.

Although he didn't care about these things, he didn't think about who he wanted to be a 'subject', treacherous minister or loyal minister, whatever others thought.

Ding Daquan asked again: "Everyone calls this old man treacherous. Are you afraid of ruining your reputation if you join me?"

Li Xia said: "It's better than being slandered as 'understanding Mongolia' and being sentenced to death."

"that's it?"

"Yes."

"You should pay more attention to the old man."

"Just tell the truth." Li Xia said.

Ding Daquan looked at Li Xia's straight back.

Turning his eyes again, he saw the neither humble nor overbearing eyes, and the indifference in the eyes.

Ding Daquan hesitated slightly.

People in the world looked at his blue face with more or less disgust, fear, and taboo in their eyes... they regarded him as a monster.

He can keenly feel the avoidance and dislike of "you must be a ghost if you grow up like this", no matter how subtle it is.

However, Li Xia did not.

It was almost the first time Ding Daquan encountered such a calm gaze in his whole life.

He suddenly felt a little emotional, took a few steps, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and sighed.

"Since the old man soared to the top, surrounded by snakes, insects, rats and ants, for many years, I haven't seen someone as handsome as you come to work."

Li Xia knew that he wasn't talking about appearance, but about posture.

"Prime Minister Ding Shu is overrated."

"Snakes, rats, rats..." Ding Daquan muttered with his back to Li Xia, and suddenly became emotional.

"Everyone in the world says that the old man is evil, but they hate the old man, and the old man also hates them, but they are just good-looking people and corrupt scholars. In the early years, the old man was the head of Ningde County, Fujian Road, where the mountains are remote and the roads are inconvenient. The people travel , Trapped in the fog and dangerous walls, the poison of snakes and insects. The postal pavilion is a rebellious journey, and it is a warning to enter Ningde. Only the old man resisted all opinions and was not afraid of difficulties. He opened up Baiheling, passed through Luoyuan stacked stones and went straight to Fuzhou, benefiting the two counties of Ningluo Common people. Do you think this old man is right? Wrong?"

Li Xia said: "If it can benefit one party, it should be right."

"Do you know how the rotten Confucians impeached this old man?"

"I don't know."

"Using the reason that 'Qingluan has changed, morale has not improved', impeaching the old man has broken the local feng shui."

Li Xia said, "I don't understand."

"They say that Ling Road shoots directly at the county seat, which will hurt the culture."

Li Xia was still a little puzzled, and said, "I still don't understand."

Dr. Ding said: "The home of the local scholar-officials does not like accessible roads. If the roads are open, the style of writing will flourish, and if the style of writing is strong, the number of test places in prefectures and counties will be reduced. People's literary fortune... At that time, the old man was only a master, and he never clinged to eunuchs, and he was still scolded as treacherous."

Li Xia was speechless.

Ding Daquan turned his head around, walked up to Li Xia, and brought that blue face closer.

"People say that this old man is like a ghost like a ghost, but the old man sees the world as a ghost. People say that this old man is vicious and greedy, but is he more poisonous than the hearts of the world?"

He seemed a little lonely at this moment.

He looked down on both the villain around him and the gentleman who pointed at him and scolded him.

Li Xia didn't speak, he couldn't tell which of these high officials said was true and which was false.

Maybe it was Ding Daquan's hypocrisy, just buying people's hearts.

There is really nothing to say.

Ding Daquan sighed: "This old man has a crush on you, and I have talked too much today... In short, in the future, you will follow the old man and don't have to pay attention to the world's slander."

"Yes."

Ding Daquan then patted Li Xia on the shoulder and walked out.

Instead, there was an order left.

"Wu Yan, you discuss the details with Li Xia... Don't belittle him, and remember, the old man regards Li Xia as a nephew..."

"Yes, I would like to follow Ding Gong's order..."

Guihepu rushed into the hall, only to see Jia Sidao had returned home from the court, and was leaning on the couch to take a nap.

"Ah Lang, Prime Minister Ding Shu really went to Xinglifang Guanchao Bieyuan, and he must have already talked with Li Xia."

"En." Jia Sijia responded vaguely, opened his eyes, and said, "He should have gained Ding Qingpi's trust."

Gui Hepu couldn't help but asked: "The villain really doesn't understand, why did Alang let Li Xia go?"

"He's right. Even if Xie and Cheng are overthrown, it's just a common phase with Ding Qingpi. What's the difference compared to now?" Jia Sidao murmured, "That phrase 'Long things are long should be measured' is really good. vision."

"But in this way, Prime Minister Ding Shu knew that A Lang sent someone to him, wouldn't he offend him?"

"If not, can Ding Qingpi treat me as a good friend?" Jia Sidao casually said, "It's because Li Xia said it bluntly that Ding Qingpi thought that I was nothing more than that, that he had no one around him, so he relaxed. alert."

Guihepu understood and couldn't help smiling.

"In this way, all the people that Ah Lang placed next to Ding Shuxiang will not be suspected?"

"Ah."

"Ah Lang, it's wonderful. Li Xia insists on saving Nie, Lin, and Liu. If he doesn't let go, let him save it by himself. A Lang doesn't need to work hard, but he can get a piece of information and a piece of credit. And this time he got it The left side, keep the right side to fight with Ding Shu, and then lay out a few dark chess pieces. It's a clever plan."

Jia Sidao smiled, kicked him lightly, and cursed: "The flattering is not good, it's time to practice."

"Yes, yes... the villain hasn't fully understood yet? So what if Li Xia really voted for Prime Minister Ding Shu?"

"will not."

Guihepu said: "Yes, yes, since he has met Alang, how can he fall in love with Ding Shuxiang again? One day he went up to the immortal, and the other time he went down to the ghost. The villain really worries too much. It's ridiculous that Ding Shuxiang is so old that he can't compare with him. A Lang and Li Xia are both big together, but they were played around like crazy."

"It rang." Jia Sidao murmured, "But it didn't rang."

"The villain is not flattering, he really thinks so."

Jia Sidao shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Do you really think I'm doing this just because I can't succeed? The battle in the Southwest is like a fire, the shadow is incompetent, and the danger of national subjugation is imminent. Thanking Uncle Fang for the phase and replacing Commander Shu is the top priority. Do not hesitate."

Guihepu was taken aback, unable to tell whether his Alang was joking or deceiving himself?Or is it this time to let yourself shoot a different ass?

Could it be that A Lang really thought so?

Gui Hepu was confused, he couldn't express the flattery that came to his lips...
