Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 127 Refuse to ridicule
Seeing the invitation, the steward of the Li family, who was so proud and claimed to be Mr. Li's slave, was filled with thoughts.

Chen Qingsi did not expect to face Li Yifu so soon.

However, Chen Qingsi had already made up his mind about Li Yifu's attitude on the road.

Along the way, Chen Qingsi was speculating on Li Zhi's deep purpose.

He believed that Li Zhi had traveled thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River to recruit him to the capital. He would not be idle just to meet him. He must have had special advantages that Li Zhi took notice of.

What did Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, see in him?
He repeatedly took out the advantages and advantages he had shown and kneaded them.

Find them one by one and eliminate them one by one.

Contribution to governing Qingxi County?
This is indeed Chen Qingsi's best skill. He has accumulated a lot of grassroots work experience in his previous life. Not to mention governing Qingxi County, a county with less than [-] people. Even if he is given a state and a prefecture, it will be a waste of time. Take a pinch.

But Chen Qingsi eliminated him first.

It is impossible for Li Zhi to know the strategy he has in mind. As for the governance of Qingxi County, it is indeed worth mentioning and impressive, but Qingxi County is a lower county after all.

It's like asking a junior high school teacher and a mathematician to take a primary school exam in later generations. Their levels are very different, but the result is [-]%.

It was impossible for Li Zhi to see anything from the results of governing Qingxi County.

Poetry?

This is impossible!

This is not an era when poetry is booming, and the influence of poetry is not as great as it will be in the future.

Li Zhi was not an emperor who loved poetry.

Through the process of elimination, Chen Qingsi peeled off her own advantages bit by bit, and found that the only thing about herself that caught Li Zhi's fancy was her low status.

In order to deal with Changsun Wuji and the Guandong gentry, Li Zhi's habit of employing people was to have one level of imperial examination and two levels of background.

There are currently six prime ministers: Lai Ji, Cui Dunli, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Du Zhenglun, and Sun Chuyue. Except for Cui Dunli and Li Yifu, all the others came from the imperial examination.

Cui Dunli relied on military merit to become prime minister, so the situation was different.

Shangguan Yi, Xu Yushi, Wei Siqian, and Zhang Wenguan, who were also highly employed by him, also came from the imperial examination...

As for Li Yifu, Yuan Gongyu, Wang Dejian, and Hou Shanye, who have been in the limelight recently because of the deposed Wang Liwu, they all came from poor families.

His own origin has become a bright spot.

As he traveled north, he learned more and more about the situation in Beijing, and Chen Qingsi's thoughts became clearer.

Li Zhi reused talents who came from the imperial examination and promoted poor families to deal with the Tang gentry's monopoly on promotion channels for subordinate officials, not just to deal with Changsun Wuji.

As a result, Li Yifu has now gathered together all the poor families promoted by Li Zhi, forming a notorious party.

Under the influence of Li Yifu, a poor family is now synonymous with a villain's success, which is almost equated with a bad smell.

Chen Qingsi guessed that Li Zhi wanted to use himself to restore the reputation of the poor family, so he could not get involved with Li Yifu.

Chen Qingsi originally wanted to confirm whether his guess was true through contact with Lai Ji and Sun Chuyue, but he didn't expect that Li Yifu came directly to the door without giving him a chance to confirm.

Then take a gamble!
Chen Qingsi immediately entered the scene, put her hand on her forehead, and said: "I must disappoint Xianggong Li. I have to rush on the next road. I am weak and exhausted. I hope the manager will inform Xianggong Li. I accept Xianggong's kindness. In order to avoid being exhausted and colliding Mr. Li, it is really inconvenient to attend." If he guesses wrong, he will return to Jiangnan at worst.

People like Li Yifu can't be arrogant for long...

In short, we can't get involved with people like Li Yifu, and we can't be hypocritical or coercive.

Too dirty and smelly.

We will be polluted if we walk together.

The manager of the Li family never thought that Chen Qingsi would refuse, and he didn't react for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

"Mr. Qingxi, my husband-in-law invites you..."

This time he emphasized his tone and said, "He has already set up a banquet and will lead distinguished guests to the banquet. Are you going to reject my husband's kindness?"

Chen Qingsi said displeased: "As I said, I'm not feeling well. Is it possible that Mr. Li's way of treating guests is to forcefully ask for help?"

He said and turned to leave.

The manager of the Li family is also a villain, and he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone a manager?
Chen Qingsi is just a county magistrate or a lower county magistrate. What's so crazy about that?

Seeing that Chen Qingsi was so unappreciative, the steward of the Li family said solemnly: "Magnificent Chen, don't regret it. If you refuse today, it will be difficult to get in if something comes to visit in the future."

He stopped calling me sir and called him County Magistrate Chen instead.

Chen Qingsi didn't intend to argue with the other party, but when he heard him threatening her, she knew that he was a man who relied on his power and had often abused Li Yifu's name to do evil, so he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

When the steward of the Li family saw Chen Qingsi pause, he thought his intimidation was effective, and complained in his heart that he was pretending to be aloof.

Chen Qingsi looked at the manager of the Li family coldly and said, "If Mr. Li's servants are all people like you who rely on human power, I, Chen Qingsi, really don't dare to come to your door."

He laughed loudly as he spoke, leaving behind only a brisk verse: "A needle is hammered a thousand times, and the cloth is moved up and down. The eyes are on the buttocks, and they only recognize clothes and not people."

The steward of the Li family was angry and angry. Then he thought of something and his face suddenly turned pale. He slumped on the ground like mud, and his body was trembling slightly.

The situation outside the house soon reached Master Xu Yu's ears.

Master Xu Yu came to the door with a bit of uneasiness, and asked bluntly: "Confused! Why is my nephew so confused? Did you know that Li Xianggong has another name?"

Chen Qingsi said: "Of course I know, Li Mao!"

It is said that Li Yifu is like a cat, soft on the outside and fierce on the inside.

Master Xu Yu said: "Since you know, why are you still so tough? My nephew is not a reckless person in life. How come he got to Chang'an, but he doesn't care about the importance."

Of course, Chen Qingsi couldn't say that she was trying to figure out what was going on, and was destined not to have contact with Li Yifu. She said in a serious and upright voice: "I should be respectful and polite to a virtuous elder like Mr. Xu. Li Yifu is arrogant and domineering, and he is greedy for Chunyu's beauty. , but forcing others to commit suicide, it is lawless and abominable. I, Chen Qingsi, a seven-foot man, do not want to be associated with him."

When Master Xu Yu heard that he called himself a virtuous elder, he couldn't help but beam with joy. Then he frowned and said, "A good nephew is upright and upright, but it is rare. But Mr. Li is gentle, courteous and thrifty in front of others, and he talks with others with a pleasant appearance. But in his heart, he is sinister and intolerant, and he treats him Anyone who offends or disobeys will definitely go to great lengths to falsely accuse and frame him, and then put him to death quickly, so there is also a saying that there is a knife in the smile of Yifu."

He took two steps back and forth and said: "Today my nephew has offended Mr. Li, and he will not give up. In this way, I have a personal relationship with Mr. Xu. You come with me to visit him. Asking him to come forward can resolve this disaster."
