Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 212
"Brother, are you full?"

After Her Royal Highness left, Jiang Lin asked.

Well, he and Su Han are both big eaters. Among the three, Xue Lang eats a normal amount of flying cakes. After joining Her Royal Highness, Jiang Lin and Su Han both felt unsatisfied.

Xue Lang was full, so he gave each of them a bowl of noodles to fill their stomachs.Having nothing to say the whole night, Xue Lang had a good night's sleep, and when he got up early the next day, Lamei cooked millet porridge and steamed buns for them, as well as salted duck eggs.

Before Xue Lang finished eating, Wanfu came to report: "Speak to Dalang, Gong Shanzhi, Gong Cangcao, please see me."

Xue Lang put down the porridge bowl and said, "Take him to the outer study, I'll come right after I finish eating."

"Here."

Wanfu went to spread the word.

Xue Lang ate another salted duck egg slowly, then put down his chopsticks, tidied up and went to the outer study——

"This subordinate has seen Xue Jianyi."

As soon as Xue Lang entered, Gong Shanzhi stood up and saluted, with a rather anxious expression on his face.Xue Lang sat down on his knees, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Gong Cangcao, let's sit down too. I was drunk yesterday, so what's wrong with me today?"

Gong Shanzhi's old face flushed instantly: "I am ashamed, thank you Xue for asking, there is nothing uncomfortable about it."

Xue Lang: "Since there is no uncomfortable place, let's talk about your problem of calling yourself sick for no reason and passively sabotaging your work!"

Gong Shanyi shrinks back: "This subordinate is guilty, please consult Xue for punishment."

Xue Lang said slowly: "Punishment or not, we will discuss it later. I just want to know why now? Tell me, anyway, you even pretend to be sick and not work, so I will give you a chance to defend yourself."

Gong Shanzhi looked up at Xue Lang and saw that there was no trace of anger on Xue Lang's face, he pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "If the subordinates are not fair, Xue Zhiyi is unfair to the subordinates, and the subordinates are biased."

Xue Lang couldn't help laughing, and read: "Being unfair to the superior, biased towards the inferior? What a big crime! How did this come about? Please ask Gong Cangcao to clarify."

Gong Shanzhi had probably already said the beginning, so he simply spit it out quickly: "In Your Highness's mansion, there are both old people who came here with His Highness from Chang'an, and newcomers recruited from Weizeguan. Changan is an old man who came here with His Royal Highness. When Han Changshi was in charge, he believed in the old man, used me highly, and gave me the merits. Although it is not biased against the old man, there is a certain emphasis on the old man. After Xue Zhiyi took office, But you only believe in newcomers, and don't pay attention to me and other old people in Chang'an, so biased, how can you convince the public?"

Xue Lang was directly annoyed: "In the eyes of Gong Cangcao, it is fair and just to reuse the old people from Chang'an, and it is partial to use the new recruits recruited from Weizeguan. You are called double standards, do you know?"

How did you meet a double-standard bitch these two days? !Xue Lang wanted to doubt his life!Could it be that he actually has a halo, but the name of the halo is "double the chance of encountering strange flowers" halo? !

Gong Shanzhi was reasonable: "The so-called Xiao Gui and Chen Sui, Xue counseled a newcomer, and when the new official took office, he changed the rules without authorization, and his subordinates refused to accept it."

Xue Lang was too lazy to tell him, and said directly: "Since you think so, then I don't need to say more. In my opinion, there is only one standard for me to employ people, and talent is the only way! You can express your emotions, but You can't affect your job. However, you actually play passive sabotage for me, so I'm sorry, I don't use the idlers here, Gong Cangcao, please find another job!"

"you!"

Gong Shanzhi suddenly stood up, his face full of anger.Xue Lang calmly met his angry eyes, unmoved.

Gong Shanzhi said angrily: "The owner of this princess' mansion is Her Royal Highness, and you, Xue Lang, can't be the one to make the decision! Someone will uphold justice in this matter."

After all, he walked away.

Xue Lang wasn't angry either, he just sat quietly drinking water.So, is this because the contribution of sweet potatoes and potatoes is too great, and it is too enviable?The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit to death.It's really exhausting.

Xue Lang sat silently and drank a glass of water, called Changjian, and went straight to Cangcao Yamen.It is said that it is Cangcao Yamen, but it is actually just a small courtyard, and with Gong Shanzhi included, there are only three people in the whole Cangcao.Now that Gong Shanzhi is not here, only two officials are there.

"I met Xue Jianyi."

The two saluted Xue Lang.Xue Lang nodded, returned the salute, then turned around and asked Chang Jian: "Which one is it?"

Changjian understood, and immediately said: "Report to Dalang, this is the internal historian."

Changjian pointed to the person on the left, and that person was immediately surprised and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Xue Jianyi."

Xue Lang nodded, didn't even want to ask the name, and said directly: "Excuse me. You clean it up, and you won't be used in the future. My subordinate Cang Cao won't use you again."

The man was still full of joy, but when he heard the back, his face changed, and he exclaimed: "Why?"

Xue Lang said: "Changjian, give him twenty guan."

"Here."

Changjian took out twenty pennies from the bookcase he was carrying.Xue Lang said: "Gong Shanzhi is passive and sabotages his work and does not perform his job. You can make up for him and avoid the shortcomings and problems that may be caused by this matter. This is my reward. But..."

Xue Lang paused, and did not hide his disgust: "However, I don't like your behavior of secretly poaching the boss's corner and framing the boss! There are gaps and mistakes in the boss. You can make up for it, or you can make up for it. Report it to me openly, and I will naturally see your talent and reuse you. However, you chose to inform my personal servants, such a villain's trick. If I keep you, I will tell all my subordinates, all of you I can learn from your style. In the future, there will be no bright and dignified people around me, only people like you! It is almost foreseeable that intrigues, mutual informers and exposing will become common! I hope my subordinates can unite and cooperate with each other. cooperation."

The man's face was pale and white, he let out a long sigh, and said, "I'm ashamed of my mistake. Thank you Xue Zhiyi for your advice, I'll just pack up my things."

Xue Lang nodded: "I asked Wanfu to stay. If you need a car, you can ask him to help you."

"Here, thank you Xue for counseling."

The man was convinced, and went to pack his things in a polite manner.

Xue Lang turned his attention to the only one left: "Your name is Xie Zhiqing?"

……

When Xue Lang took the Cangcao internal history exam with only one person left in the school, in the main hall of Her Royal Highness, Princess Pingyang was at the top, and Changshi Han Jin sat at the bottom.Her Royal Highness did not go to practice soldiers today, but called Han Jin early in the morning, and ordered them to burn Han Jin's favorite incense, and boiled tea soup with the taste he liked, saying: "It has been a long time since I met Yue. Let’s drink tea together first.”

Han Jin said respectfully: "Your Highness is busy with affairs, and this subordinate is ashamed that he has not been able to share your worries for His Highness."

Her Royal Highness smiled lightly, took a sip of the tea soup, and said, "Speaking of which, how many years has Yue Xian worked under my account?"

Han Jin said: "Since Daye entered the residence of His Highness in the 11th year of the former Sui Dynasty, exactly five years!"

Her Royal Highness was surprised: "It has been five years? Time flies like water, and you are so busy every day that you don't realize that time has passed."

Han Jin continued: "That's right. It's been five years before I know it. His Highness is still the same as before, but his subordinates are getting old. Recently, they feel that their talents and energy are lacking, and they often feel powerless in the face of things. .”

Her Royal Highness suddenly raised her head, and looked straight into Han Jin's eyes. It was peaceful, but also terrifying. Han Jin didn't dare to look at him, and immediately lowered his head and bowed his eyes as a respectful gesture.

Princess Pingyang said: "When I first opened the mansion, the sage asked me who could be the chief historian, and I needed to send someone else. I told the sage, I am a woman, and with the grace of the sage, I opened the mansion as a woman. Han Jin is loyal and upright. My subordinates have complicated backgrounds. Han Jin treats everyone equally, convinces others with reason, and establishes himself with virtue. .”

Han Jin was extremely ashamed when he heard the words, and he bowed down: "This subordinate has failed His Highness's trust, His Highness please punish him."

Princess Pingyang didn't move, she didn't ask Han Jin to get up without courtesy, nor reprimanded him, but asked in a harmonious voice: "Yuexian is worried that I will let Youyang take your place?"
