Chapter 15 The Dark Horse Knight Offline

Tan Yushu and Chi Li chatted while walking towards the high place in the temple.And at the same time, the two places had the same conversation at the same time——

Tan Yushu said very seriously to Chi Li: "If there are no accidents, I will be promoted soon, and I will be the third-rank Minister of the Household Department."

And Song Ming, who was far away in the prime minister's mansion, also said to Feng Junyan who was serving beside him: "Shangshu of the Household Department, I am going to let Tan Yushu take the top."

The two people who heard this at the scene expressed their dissent almost at the same time.

Chi Li frowned: "Although I'm not very good at history, Hubu Shangshu should be a civil servant, and you are a military officer."

Feng Junyan was full of disbelief: "But Tan Yushu is a general!"

The prime minister, Song Ming, snorted coldly: "The Jinshi who was tested by the Yongzheng scriptures, the Tanhua who was hand-picked by the emperor, was turned into a military officer by others, it must be the people in the official department who are messing around."

Feng Junyan coughed to cover up his embarrassment. In fact, most of the officials belonged to them, but who made Tan Yushu rely on no one?

Back then, the Northern Rong came in such a way that they captured five cities within half a month, and all the commanders sent by the imperial court died in battle as soon as they arrived. No one in this court is afraid of being sent to the front line.

Fortunately, there was a Tan Yushu who sneakily beheaded the leader of the Northern Army, Zalmu Duoji, and took advantage of the leaderless Northern Army to rectify the remnants and regain the lost ground.He also resisted Bei Rong's crazy revenge, and fought with Bei Rong on the border for three years, until Bei Rong sent envoys to negotiate a peace two years ago.

However, the psychological shadow that Beirong brought to the officials in the court was too great, and even if the peace talks started, they couldn't relax.Although Tan Yushu was a young boy, he was quite reliable. After checking, his father was once a frontier general, so with a swipe of a pen, he let his son inherit his father's career and go to guard the border.

This kind of appointment is really unreasonable after careful calculation, and Tan Yushu's temper is not a defense, otherwise, Wen Ju Tanhua was changed to a side general for no reason. This kind of shame and humiliation will make all the students complain about him.

But despite this, Feng Junyan still hesitated: "Back then, he was appointed as a general of Huaihua, the third rank, in order to compensate him for his grievances. Now, if he is transferred to the text, it seems unreasonable to directly transfer him to a third rank general. Bar."

Song Ming squinted her eyes: "What's wrong with being ordered to guard the country in times of crisis, such great achievements?"

Feng Junyan was silent, and Tan Yushu from the Efa Temple in the distance also explained to Chi Li the reason why he was transferred back then.

"It's probably a blessing in disguise. It's not easy to accumulate political achievements as a civil servant, but it's easy to accumulate military merits as a military commander. Whether the merits of the year are more or less, it's all in the hands of the lords in the court. If Prime Minister Song speaks for me, use Brother Chi In other words, by relying on these credits, you can save years of hard work."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and looked into the distance: "I guess Song Xianghui will make another contribution for me, and then let the people under him either recommend Mr. Liu Suibi or Mr. Kang Dingfu."

Song Ming handed the birdcage to the housekeeper: "Junyan, with your position in the Ministry of Etiquette, once again honor Tan Yushu, and then ask our people to recommend Kang Dingfu together."

"But teacher, is Kang Dingfu the right minister?"

"Hehe, you kid, are you still pretending to be stupid with me?"

Feng Junyan couldn't hold back anymore, he covered his sleeves and snickered.

Tan Yushu, who was in the distance, seemed to be thinking of something funny, turned around and asked Chi Li an unrelated question mysteriously: "Brother Chi, guess what is the relationship between Your Majesty and the Prime Minister?"

Chili echoed blankly: "What's the relationship?"

Tan Yushu leaned on his ear mysteriously and whispered, "Same as us..."

Pond: ...

For some reason, Chi Li suddenly had a lot of terrible imaginations in his mind.

Tan Yushu laughed again and said, "Brother Chi, you are my purse, and Mr. Xiang is also His Majesty's purse."

Pond: ...

Was it just that?I always feel that something is not right...

Tan Yushu didn't notice the subtle change in Chi Li's expression, and continued to tell him this interesting story: "Master Liu is called 'Liu Dadarer', and Mr. Kang is called 'Kang Mutou'. All affairs in the Ministry are in the hands of the officials, but His Majesty certainly does not want to set up two such door gods at the critical juncture of the Ministry of Households. Of course, Mr. Kang will be more difficult to deal with, so he may be more likely~"

Tan Yushu's guess was accurate, and Feng Junyan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the character of Mr. Kang: "Mr. Tan is not only outstanding in appearance, but also won His Majesty's heart, and now he is bestowed by an eminent monk. Your Majesty chooses between the two. It should be an easy decision~”

"But how can the people on the right side let go so easily?"

……

"Song Xiangquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, but he and the right minister have always been at odds, and the two of them are fighting like a raging fire. Others, the people on the right side will not let go. But I am different. I have been fighting outside for so many years, and I have never provoked the right. The people over there were even able to fight in Qingzhou with peace of mind back then, thanks to the care of Qingliu, the right minister's subordinate, so if it was me, they would not have too many opinions."

Hearing this complicated relationship, Chi Li rolled his eyes: "So your emperor is a fool, your prime minister is a traitor, and only the right prime minister is a good person?"

"Shh!"

Tan Yushu covered his mouth in fright: "Brother Chi, stop being so outspoken when we get here."

Chi Li pulled him down: "What you said just now is also very energetic."

Tan Yushu looked at the empty valley under his feet, no ghosts could come here, but...

"Brother Chi, I know what to say and when, but you may still need to learn, Brother Chi."

Pond: ...

"I don't want to learn, can I just shut up?"

"Oh~"

Tan Yushu was caught off guard by his laughter, but he quickly restrained his expression and said, "Brother Chi, the environment in your place is very peaceful, so it may be difficult for people living there to understand us, but once political struggles are involved, whether it is It's hard to tell the difference between a 'power traitor' or a 'clear stream'."

"Heh, you are a general at the border, you really know the affairs of the court."

"Before I joined the army, I used to be a housekeeper. I stood next to His Majesty and took a pen to record the affairs of the court meeting. This job has no hands but words. Fortunately, I still have ears and listened to a lot. Although I haven't been in the court center for five years, but luckily there hasn't been much change in the court~"

Chi Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then you gave Prime Minister Song a box of very precious 'Pearls', do you want to stand in line and become his?"

Not only did Chi Li want to know this question, but Feng Junyan, who was far away in the prime minister's mansion, also asked Song Ming the same question before he left: "Teacher, I have met Mr. Tan several times. This person is really a He is a very unpredictable person. With all due respect to the students, do you think Mr. Tan is really relying on us?"

Tan Yushu's answer is very easy: "Why do I have to be one of these two types of people? Why can't I be the emperor's person, the court person, the world's person, or simply be my own person. "

But hearing Feng Junyan's question, Song Ming sighed: "Junyan, Junyan, I'm already old."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Junyan showed a dazed expression for the first time. In this situation, even if he was eloquent, he didn't know what to say. He bowed and retreated sadly.

As for Efa Temple, Tan Yushu also bowed and said goodbye: "This temple is only a field away from my house, and you can see the door of my house from here. I have worked hard to make Brother Chi closer to my house, so that it will be easier to come and go in the future. And brother Chi, don't worry, the field across from me is all my family's."

Pond: ...

"Your family is so rich..."

"Oh, because my grandfather was a big businessman in Jinzhou, with a lot of money, and my mother was also good at business management since she was a child."

Speaking of this, Tan Yushu remembered something, and bowed to salute: "Brother Chi, please don't misunderstand my mother because of what happened in the morning. When I was in my hometown in Huizhou, my mother took care of the family property, and I was stationed at the border for five years. , it is also my mother who manages the farmland of the store single-handedly at home. She manages a large family, and it is difficult to deter the servants if she is not strong-tempered, but she is really a kind-hearted person. If she is lucky enough to be born among you, she must be a very Powerful...uh...strong woman!"

Pond: ...

"It wasn't me who was beaten. Why are you telling me this? I'm just an unfilial son who ruined his family."

"Ha~"

Tan Yushu hid his smile: "Brother Chi, don't be angry, and I don't want to smear Brother Chi like this, but if you don't say that, His Majesty will definitely come to you every day to talk about scriptures, and it really can't be perfunctory."

He has said that, what else can Chi Li say?It can only be said that it is worthy of Tanhualang's level of storytelling ability, and the storytelling is the same as the real one.

After Tan Yushu went down the mountain, he rode his horse and left. Chi Li stood on the mountain and watched his figure melt into the afterglow, and finally disappeared in front of his house.

Slowly pacing down the mountain, the Zen room where the abbot of the temple lives is not as "luxurious" as Tan Yushu's house, but it is still quite big.

Chi Li was lying on the couch, and no one around him was grabbing the quilt with him, which was quite unaccustomed to him.

Tossing and turning in bed—

I really have to start a career, otherwise not only will I not be able to become Tan Yushu's pocketbook, but I may even have to ask him to help...

The next day, Chi Li got up with a dark face and was ready to do business. The greenhouse had been covered, and the next step was naturally to grow vegetables.

The monks in the temple were about to start working after reading scriptures and meditating. Chi Li ordered them to go down the mountain to plant vegetables in these sheds, but no one moved.

Yuan Rong saluted him with a smile: "Abbot, you are not from a serious Buddhist background, so I don't know. I'm afraid I don't have time to study Buddhism together after meditating."

Chi Li's eyes slowly fell on his fat face: "I am the abbot, or you are the abbot. Listen to you or listen to me."

Yuanrong didn't panic at all, and said with a smile, "Of course I listen to what the abbot said."

However, the monks under him still remained motionless, telling Chi Li one thing plainly: Even if I listen to you, none of my subordinates will listen to you, let alone I can listen to you?

Chi Li looked at Yuanrong motionlessly, and Yuanrong looked back with a smile without any hindrance. The two of them remained in a stalemate, and the monks lowered their heads and dared not answer.

At this moment, Chi Li missed Tan Yushu a little bit. He must have thousands of ways to make this monk speechless, and there are also thousands of punches to make this round face into a cake face.

After being silent for a while, Chi Li said slowly: "Okay, then everyone should disperse."

"Thank you abbot."

The rounded face was full of smiles, and his heart was extremely proud: Even if it is the abbot bestowed by the emperor, so what, can't I deal with you in my territory?

Chi Li continued with a blank expression: "Prince Yuanrong, if you have time, show me the ledger in the temple. You probably won't have time all the time."

Yuanrong's chubby face froze for a moment, and squeezed out a smile: "It's natural...natural..."

Turning around, he scolded the monk viciously: "What are you looking at, didn't you hear the abbot say that you are gone!"

The monks below witnessed the outcome of this confrontation, and they all bowed their heads and retreated obediently.

Chi Li watched everyone go away, his eyes darkened: this big guy, I can't stay.
