Chapter 1064 Langya's old friend
"Only when I saw Shiyu did I know that the virtuous still exist in this world. That child from the Shen family is really disgusting. He took my position and took advantage of me. Anyone who has the eyes to wait and see makes people thorn in their backs. He doesn't know when he will use him for fraud." !"

After crossing the river, Xi Jian saw Liu Chao who came to greet him, and thinking that Yu Jiangbei was let go after Shen Zhezi exhausted his last use, he couldn't help laughing and cursing with emotion.

Although it was just a joke, it also expressed a part of his true feelings. After realizing the fact that Shen Zhezi was stationed in the name of seeing him off, and when he looked at Shen Zhezi, Xi Jian really gave birth to some shadows. The exploitation of people is almost impossible to guard against.

Compared with Xi Jian who was unofficial and light-hearted, Liu Chao looked much more serious. After hearing this, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. If a person is able to participate in his own plans, he will not worry about using his talents to the best of his ability to help the community. What the Taiwei said is a little off the mark."

Xi Jian was just teasing casually to vent his depression, but he didn't expect Liu Chao to give a serious and rigid answer. He felt bored for a while, and stopped talking after a few laughs. It doesn't make sense.

Liu Chao is too rigid to say that it is light, but he is ignorant of current affairs if he says it is serious.Therefore, although he replaced Zhuge Hui as the governor of Yangzhou, he was still arranged to accompany the capital in the capital, and the Taifu probably couldn't bear this temper.

Although Xi Jian didn't speak anymore, Liu Chao didn't let him go, and said in a serious voice with a straight face: "I have something to say, I don't want to vomit, and I hope the Taiwei will not commit any crimes. If the Taiwei leaves his post, if It is natural for Liang Gongcheng to choose a successor. But the alternation of Fangzheng, how can there be no reason to give and receive privately without applying for the center? The Taiwei and Lianggong are both important ministers of the society. If they act like this, where will the law be placed? Besides Taiwei Zhuchen, there are even more virtuous elders, how can you allow Liang Gong to do such a bad thing like Meng Lang's reputation?"

When Xi Jian heard this, his face suddenly became ugly, and he felt that Liu Chao was so lonely that it was unbearable.If this matter could really be resolved through normal channels, why did he bother to do so?Earlier, because of Tao Kan's similar behavior, even his reputation after death was implicated, and it's not like he couldn't see it.

Everyone can tell the truth, but the most important thing is to solve the problem.Letting Taichung intervene in the handover is indeed a rule of law, but Huainan's current bad relationship with the center, who can guarantee that there will be no side effects?Who should be held responsible if any changes and turmoil are triggered by this?

But for this reason, Xi Jian only recited it in his heart, and did not say it out, because he knew that if he said it out, Liu Chao would say in the next sentence that this was not something he should worry about, as long as he guarded Xuzhou, he would be done. The duty of a minister.

Although Xi Jian is not lacking in depression, he also understands that Liu Chao's nature is like this, and he is not deliberately targeting him.This person insists on principles too much, and respects the emperor as the only criterion in everything. Although he is ignorant of current affairs, he can still persist in such an atmosphere of the current situation. It is worthy of admiration, but it is not worth imitating.Because what the world needs is to solve practical problems, rather than blindly clinging to principles.

And Liu Chao's own situation also just illustrates this problem. The official residence of the general and the governor of Yangzhou, who regarded himself as a king's minister, was dispatched to the capital, and he could not even see the emperor's face. Jun?
For Liu Chao's questioning, although Xi Jian could tolerate it, his mood was completely destroyed, and he simply did not stay in the capital, and directly changed cars at the pier, and went straight to Jiankang.

After crossing the river, Xi Jian's treatment can be described as a double-edged ice and fire. There is no more the scene of being sent off by people near Guangling. For basic post house services, even local officials seldom pick them up.

At such an age, Xi Jian has already cultivated the self-cultivation of not being surprised by favor or humiliation. He also understands that the purpose of the warm reception from Guangling villagers is not pure, and the cold reception he suffered in Jiangdong is not because he is completely useless.

Although he still ranks as a high-ranking captain, he is just an old man who has no power in the end, and local officials can't afford to risk offending Taifu to burn him, a cold stove that is about to collapse.

When passing through Jincheng, the prefecture of Langya, an invitation was sent to Xi Jian, which disrupted Xi Jian's itinerary plan.The one who made the invitation was the Taifu Wang Dao who had already returned to his hometown.

Holding the invitation card sent by Wang's family, Xi Jian fell into deep thought for a moment.Director Wang's invitation to meet him was both reasonable and unexpected.

After pondering for a while, Xi Jian ordered the team to temporarily stop in Jincheng, while he led his eldest son, Xi Yin, to the appointment.

Although the Langya Wang family is completely current in the current situation, the reputation of the village has not been greatly affected. After all, ordinary villagers are not very sensitive to the ups and downs of the current situation.

What's more, even if we don't talk about the reputation of the Wang family in the hometown in the early years, after going to the south, he used his own power to set up a real county in Danyang County and set up a county to provide a habitat for all the villagers. The high reputation enjoyed by the Wang family in the village There is no sect that can stand out, not even the Zhuge family in Langya who is in the right position.

Moreover, as Wang Taifu was lying in the hometown, and many of the Wang family's children returned to the hometown to support their studies, the reputation of the Wang family in Langya has improved.When Xi Jian went to the village, even the ordinary soldiers of Daozuo knew that there was a noble family in the county, and they were eager to guide the direction.

The house in Wang's township is several times larger than the mansion in Wuyi Lane. This is the advantage of the family status without losing the township capital.The Wang family has done a very good job on this point. Except for the special case of the Wu Xingshen family who have been in power since Jiangdong Zhongxing, the rest of them do not have this advantage.

When Xi Jian arrived, Director Wang had already gone out of the house to greet him. The two white-haired old men met on the wild road, each other's eyes reflected the other's old appearance, and for a while there were miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, which he couldn't suppress.

"Teacher, it's been a long time!"

With the support of his son, Xi Jian got out of the car, raised his hand tremblingly and gave a deep bow to Director Wang. When he said this, his cloudy eyes were slightly moist.

All Jin officials who have experienced Nandu Zhongxing have a natural respect for Wang Dao.Although Xi Jian arrived a few years later and did not directly experience the turmoil of the ZTE establishment, he had a close relationship with Director Wang in his early years.

It can even be said that to Jiang Biao Jinzuo, Wang Dao is not just a simple courtier, but also a symbol.

It is precisely because of such a gracious and calm helm that Jiang Biao, a small court, has been able to weather the storms but always manage to save the day without collapsing.And with Wang Dao's retirement, the current situation has actually undergone a fundamental fault, the atmosphere has changed greatly, all parties have selfish desires, and the feeling of forbearance for the country has disappeared.

But for Xi Jian, there is another layer of emotion.As early as the end of the Su Jun Rebellion, he was trapped in the real problems at the time and chose to marry the Yu family and the Shen family, and gradually drifted away from Wang Dao. Since then, the entire situation has fundamentally changed with his personal career on the deflection.

Seeing Dao Wang, who is as old as himself, and needs support from his family because he can't even stand upright, Xi Jian couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't made any changes back then, but had always echoed with Taifu Wang internally and externally. , and work together, then what will be the similarities and differences between the changes in the current situation and the present.

"Unexpectedly, I was able to meet Xi Gong again. This reunion of good friends can be described as a rare joy in recent years!"

Director Wang took a step forward, raised his hand to hold Xi Jian's wrist, his face was full of complicated meanings besides the joy of reunion.The feeling in his heart is much more than that of Xi Jian, and he even wanted to ask a question without lack of resentment: the current situation and situation, but the result you wanted when you made a choice back then?

But now he couldn't say anything, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, he looked Xi Jian up and down seriously, and then he laughed: "Recently, I often hurt myself behind closed doors, and I always feel that the deceased is forcing me too much. Now I see Xi Gong Only in this way can I realize that this old man is not alone. We are all old..."

Hearing Director Wang's emotion, Xi Jian's heart trembled again. It was not until this moment, after hearing Director Wang's long sigh, that he finally accepted the fact that their era had indeed passed.

Director Wang kindly invited Xijian to the chariot, and then told his family to go home. Along the way, he introduced many scenery of the village to Xijian with great interest, especially when passing a stream, he pointed to the water reels erected on the stream. Show off: "Wu people often praise raccoon dogs for being good at weapons, and cleverly making chains to make the people reap great benefits. In fact, this chains was originally issued in China. In recent years, I have nothing to do, so I summoned all the villagers who are good at making weapons to copy them It takes a lot more than Wuzhong Li..."

When Xi Jian heard this, he wanted to tell Wang Dao Lai'er that the company in Huainan was no longer the old one. It could not only process rice, but also crush ore.But seeing Director Wang showing off his gesture happily, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.Sometimes ignorance is also a blessing, at least you don't have to be like yourself, thinking of that little raccoon is full of frustration.

After returning to Wang's house, Director Wang called all the children of the family out to meet Xi Jian, and then he warmly entertained him.During the meeting, Director Wang tried his best not to talk about current affairs, but an occasional sentence revealed that his state of mind was at least not as indifferent as he showed: "The same is fading out of the current situation, but I envy Xi Gong. People who can continue to use it."

When Xi Jian heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. Since he was envious of his successor, wouldn't it mean that Director Wang entrusted him with a wrong person?In other words, in his mind, he is actually dissatisfied with the actions of the incumbent Taiwan assistants and looks down upon them.

On this day, the guests and hosts had a good time, but as the banquet was nearing the end, Director Wang still couldn't help it. He looked at Xi Jian curiously and said, "I heard that there seems to be some twists and turns during the handover of Xuzhou this time? I don't know what happened to Shen Weizhou response?"
