Chapter 304 The Great Tang Dream Comes True
At Haishi, the night was dark, and Jin Liangtu returned home covered in wind and frost.

His wife greeted him, took off his armor, put on thick clothes, and said with some distress: "These days, why are you coming back later than usual?"

Although Jin Liangtu was physically exhausted, but his mind was full, he replied: "The thief is still in the city, and if he wants to do something wrong, I have to patrol carefully, just in case."

The wife hesitated to speak, swallowed back the dissuading words, and took out the beautifully packaged gift box from the cabinet: "Fu Lang, do you see this kind of drink? It's called 'tea'?"

Jin Liangtu sniffed the smell, and said with a satisfied smile: "That's it, we need to get used to drinking tea in the future, and so do the sons and daughters!"

The wife frowned and said, "But the taste of this tea is weird, and the price is very expensive. I think it's not as good as the fruit drink from my hometown..."

Jin Liangtu shook his head: "That's because you don't understand the value of tea. I've already found out that the nobles of the noble family are gradually drinking tea. In the future, you will have to walk around with other wives and ladies. What if you are not used to drinking tea?" Row?"

The wife whispered: "The wives of other families don't care about concubines..."

Jin Liangtu's expression was slightly gloomy, but he quickly lifted his spirits: "That's the value that I don't have to curry favor with, don't worry, when I get promoted, everything will be different!"

The wife sighed softly: "I don't expect others to flatter me, I just hope that my husband is safe and our children can study hard and achieve something in the future."

Jin Liangtu smiled: "It's a woman's opinion. What you expect, in the final analysis, I still need to be successful. Otherwise, how can I become a talent without a good doctor's teaching? Let's rest, and I have to get up early tomorrow... ..."

Just about to enter the room to rest, there was a sudden movement outside the courtyard, and a voice shouted: "Jin Changshi! Jin Changshi!"

Jin Liangtu heard that he was his confidant, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Put on the armor for me!"

His wife helped him dress skillfully, he put the knife on his waist, and strode out.

Seeing his confidant walking outside the house, Jin Liangtu shouted in a deep voice, "Did you find the trace of the thief again? Did you interrogate Jin Hanlin and Jin Sanguang and found new clues?"

The confidant greeted him with a happy face: "No, not at all, there is a big happy event! Chang Shike still remembers that Duan Langzhong who was crying when he was taken away by the inner guard during the day?"

Jin Liangtu nodded: "Of course, that's the person arrested by the inner guard Huang Jiyi. A doctor in charge of the capital's lawsuit seems to have committed a serious crime. Judging by the inner guard's posture, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out!"

The confidant said: "I'm sure I can't get out. This person is said to have fornicated the slave merchants and let the Korean slaves wield the magic crossbow to plot against the law. Fortunately, Li Jiyi paid it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Jin Liangtu suddenly changed color: "Shen Ce crossbow?"

Ordinary officials didn't have any special impression of the Shence Crossbow, they knew it was a kind of crossbow, but as guards, they knew very well that it was the crossbow held by Beiya Baiqi, which was extremely sophisticated.

Jin Liangtu felt that the divine crossbow in his heart had been tainted, and he held the knife handle at his waist: "Gorino slaves holding the divine crossbow? It's ridiculous! This thief deserves to be killed!"

The confidant said: "It should be killed, well done, he made way for Chang Shi!"

Jin Liangtu's anger stagnated, and he changed into an indescribable expression, like surprise or fear, complicated to the extreme, and said in a trembling voice: "What... do you mean?"

His confidant hurriedly said: "I heard from my colleagues guarding the East Palace that Li Jiyi had an audience with His Highness the Crown Prince after the preliminary examination by the inner guards. He has rarely entered the palace. You will take over from Duguan Langzhong."

"At that time, some officials disagreed because of Chang Shi's Silla origin, but Li Jiyi tried his best to overcome all opinions, thinking that Chang Shi had been guarding the palace for many years, worked hard, and was more familiar with the situation in Luoyang than the officials in Chang'an. Discovering the assassin who plotted to burn down the pier before and capturing the Silla proton is enough to prove his loyalty to Datang."

"His Royal Highness agrees..."

The confidant said a lot of words later, but Jin Liangtu could no longer hear them.

There was only one thought in his mind, and Li Jiyi valued it, he was in his prime!
Duguan Langzhong, representing the fifth rank!
The long history is from the top of the sixth rank, not to mention the lower rank of the sixth rank, there are two levels above the sixth rank, and the step from the sixth rank to the fifth rank is a gap for many officials.

Beijing officials are already noble enough, but most of the officials are seventh and sixth ranks, and how many of them will be seventh and sixth ranks all their lives!

To give the most intuitive example, the officials in the capital lawsuit include one Langzhong, two Yuanwailang, two principals, nine Lingshi, twelve Shulingshi, and four Zhanggu.

Among the [-] officials, only the leading Langzhong was from the fifth rank, and the others were all sixth, seventh and eighth rank officials.

Jin Liangtu was nearly forty years old, but at this age, he was able to become a fifth-rank official, even if he was a doctor with a narrow room for advancement like a lawsuit, countless people still envied him.

When the confidant said this, seeing Jin Liangtu's expression in a trance, he understood it very well, and was very happy for him: "Changshi has become the fifth rank of Neng Enyin's heir, and Dalang can directly become an official in the future. It is a great joy!"

Jin Liangtu took a few breaths before gradually recovering. Knowing that he might not be able to sleep tonight, he said in a trembling voice: "This matter has not been finalized, and there are still variables. What is the lawsuit for?"

He actually memorized every official position in the imperial court by heart, let alone such an important department as the Fourth Division of the Criminal Ministry, but he asked subconsciously as if he was sure that he was not dreaming.

The confidant replied: "Management of slaves, prisoners of war and relatives of criminals, this is a lucrative job. I heard that the thieves made a lot of money during that period. Wait for Chang Shi... wait for the doctor to take over, and you can..."

Jin Liangtu was furious: "Nonsense! Mere money is enough, how can it make me desecrate my job and follow in the footsteps of thieves?"

He suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist, and swung it forward a few times: "I, Jin Liangtu, swear that I will never be greedy, and will never let down the trust of Li Jiyi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!!"

Seeing that this man was so excited, his confidant hurriedly said: "Yes! This subordinate is talking nonsense! Whether the doctor wants to go to Li Jiyi's residence to thank him, this time it all depends on his recommendation..."

Jin Liangtu thought for a while and said: "Thank you is for sure, but Li Jiyi wants more than thank you. You have never seen him outside his house. There is a long line of cars and horses. Li Jiyi wants to promote people, choose those who are not good. So, why did you choose me?"

The confidant also felt puzzled, showing the color of listening.

Jin Liangtu thumped his chest: "Because I can do things, and it's about those Koryo and Silla thieves!"

"The slaves this time are like this. That lowly Korean slave is actually able to hold the magical crossbow. It can be seen that there is a lot involved. I must follow Li Jiyi closely and investigate this case thoroughly!"

"Li Jiyi once asked me what's going on in Silla now, and told me not to hear it from hearsay. You also have to gather people from Silla on weekdays to find out more about the situation in the country for the future..."

He came to his confidant, and said sonorously: "I can have a bright future, so can you! We have to do things well and unite together so that we can go further in Datang, understand?"

The confidant was so motivated that his face flushed, and his blood surged: "Yes! Yes! This subordinate understands!"

Both of them couldn't sleep now.

Jin Liangtu sent his confidant away, and stood in front of the door for a long time before returning to the inner courtyard with slightly staggering steps.

The wife was about to turn off the lights, but she was very happy to see her husband go and come back: "Don't you need to chase the thief? Wash up and go to bed quickly, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

Jin Liangtu didn't even bother to take off his armor, he knelt down with a bang, tears poured out uncontrollably, and he tried his best to suppress his voice: "Wow wow wow!"

His wife's complexion changed drastically, and she hugged him into her arms: "What happened? What crime did you commit? Are we going to flee back to Silla?"

Jin Liangtu stopped crying as soon as he heard it, and scolded: "What nonsense!"

When his wife closed her mouth, he continued crying: "Wow wow wow!"

It wasn't until his wife's clothes were soaked from crying that he explained the matter intermittently: "My dream...my dream...has finally come true!"

The wife was stunned, and tears rolled out of her eyes, and the two of them hugged each other and cried, one after another.

It wasn't until the children in the back room were alarmed, and the servants gathered outside in panic, that they looked like they wanted to flee back to Silla, then the wife wiped away her tears and went out to announce the good news: "Ah Lang is going to be promoted! He is going to be promoted. !"

Soon there was another group of sleepless people outside.

Jin Liangtu in the room finally stabilized his emotions, stopped his tears, and held his wife's hand: "Lady, in a short time, many wives will come to invite you!"

The wife shook hands instead, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely learn how to drink tea, and I won't lose face for you!"

They couldn't fall asleep anyway, so the two simply took out the tea cakes they bought: "Let's make tea together!"

……

early morning.

Li Yan rode out in good spirits, officials passing by kept saluting and saying hello to him on the road, and even ordinary people paid attention to him.

The latter made him happier.

Because it means the situation is open.

【Fame: Unknown (Luoyang)】→【Fame: Little Famous (Luoyang)】

【Achievement Points +100】

[Fame: Little Fame (Luoyang)] → [Fame: Fame (Luoyang)]

【Achievement Points +200】

[Achievement Point +2] [Achievement Point +2] [Achievement Point +2]...

The famous movement in Chang'an period was due to the help of the prince and the fight against Wu Minzhi, and the famous movement in Luoyang now benefited from the publicity among the market.

The Shandong gentry has always been good at engaging in public opinion offensives. In order to repay the kindness of saving his son, Zheng Rentong also worked hard to promote it among the scholastics.

In addition, his mission to show off his prestige is a real story, and the speed of transmission is naturally extremely fast.

Li Yan was in a happy mood, and was about to dig out a potential cancer for the people of Luoyang. He happened to pass by Beishi, so he took a look there.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, you can see a Tang Dynasty man standing in front of the gate with a horizontal knife.

Although his face looked tired and his body smelled of strong tea, Li Yan nodded his head coldly looking in the direction of the slave meeting place.

What he wanted was this kind of look.
