Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 158 The "ball game" in the Xu family's high-rise building

Liu Jun did not dare to force others to do anything difficult.

How could Chen Qingsi do something that even Prime Minister Lai Ji couldn't do?

If Xu Jingzong hadn't praised Chen Qingsi in a high-profile manner and Yuan Zhixin admired Chen Qingsi so much, Liu Jun wouldn't have the audacity to ask for it.

"It is enough to confirm my father's current safety situation."

Chen Qingsi did not hesitate, and immediately wrote a greeting note, came to the Xu family's residence in Yongjiafang again, and handed over the greeting note.

Xu Jingzong was instructing his grandson Xu Yanbo on his homework.

Xu Jingzong hated his son, but had high hopes for his grandson.

Xu Yanbo did not disappoint Xu Jingzong. He had outstanding literary talent and was outstanding among his peers.

only……

Xu Yanbo's scheming in the city government was somewhat lacking, but he was a famous figure, but he could not control the officialdom like him, play both sides, and hold a very popular position.

This is what Xu Jingzong is most worried about. For many years, he has offended many people openly and secretly. Without his own protection, the Xu family may not even be able to become a rich man.

"Ms. sir, this is the greeting card sent by Chen Jiancheng!"

Xu Jingzong was not surprised when he heard this. He invited Chen Qingsi to the living room, and then said to Xu Yanbo with a smile: "Whether this boy is really worthy of evaluation depends on today."

Xu Yanbo frowned slightly, not understanding.

Xu Jingzong sighed secretly, but said patiently: "Do you know why this Superintendent Chen is here?"

Xu Yanbo thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of Liu Gai's trouble?"

His tone was a little uncertain.

Xu Yanbo did not become an official, but in order to cultivate his grandson's ability to be an official, Xu Jingzong often told him what happened in the temple and cultivated his political ability.

Through the influence of his ears and eyes, Xu Yanbo knew many important events in the temple and also had a certain political sense.

Xu Jingzong continued: "Then do you know what Grandpa meant by saying it depends on today?"

Xu Yanbo pondered for a long time.

Xu Jingzong was not in a hurry to meet Chen Qingsi, but just waited quietly.

"My grandson is stupid!" Xu Yanbo had no clue.

Xu Jingzong was a little disappointed but did not show it. He just smiled and said, "Do you think Chen Jiancheng and grandpa are of the same mind?"

Xu Yanbo glanced at his grandfather and shook his head.

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Yes, grandpa and Chen Jiancheng have different personalities and are not the same people. However, just because we can't walk to one place does not mean that we can't walk all the way. The road is very wide. He goes to the right and grandpa goes to the left. As long as he doesn't What's the harm in coming to steal grandpa's way and move forward together? Why do you have to fight to the death like that cat?"

Xu Yanbo said hurriedly: "Grandpa is right, but my grandson doesn't agree with Mr. Li's approach either."

Xu Jingzong continued: "We are all walking on the same path. When he encounters trouble, he comes to ask for help. This is a good thing, or it may be a bad thing."

Xu Yanbo was confused when he heard this.

Xu Jingzong said patiently: "The fact that I come to beg you shows that I am not alienated from you and that I am not afraid of owing favors. Of course, you have to be wary of certain people. They only know how to get and don't know how to give. You must not have close friendship with such people."

Xu Yanbo immediately said: "Chen Jiancheng is responsible and responsible, and he is definitely not this kind of person."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Grandpa thinks so too." He paused and said: "There is another situation that needs to be vigilant. If he falls while walking on a road, you can help him. But he has provoked a powerful enemy, life and death. People who are on the front line but come to ask for help should remember to hide as far as they can."

Xu Yanbo suddenly understood and said, "I understand. What grandpa said is that he does not want to offend Mr. Li for Chen Jiancheng."

Xu Jingzong shook his head and pointed out: "This is completely wrong. Grandpa has never looked at Li Mao. He is just a dog that has been raised crazy. Once the mad dog has no one to bite... hum... ..." He smiled contemptuously and said, "Grandpa is afraid of..."

He didn't say anything, but pointed to the sky.

Looking at his frightened grandson, Xu Jingzong stopped explaining. How much he can understand and experience depends entirely on his own destiny. "Grandpa is gone!"

Xu Jingzong strolled towards the living room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Qingsi stood up from the mat.

Xu Jingzong still had a pleasant look on his face, and he was also polite when facing Chen Qingsi's bow.

The Confucian leader of a temple, the youngest Confucian scholar, was like a friend. After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Qingsi explained the purpose of his visit.

"Ms. Xu, I took the liberty to come to the residence today because I have something to ask for!"

Xu Jingzong said: "But it doesn't matter. It's within my ability. I will never refuse."

Chen Qingsi said: "Xiaoguan and Liu Gai have been friends for many years. I learned that he had been detained in Dali Temple for many days and there was no news at all. I was worried and longed to see him."

Xu Jingzong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Just a meeting?"

Chen Qingsi affirmed: "It's just a meeting!"

Xu Jingzong looked at Chen Qingsi, who only wanted to see Liu Rengui, and suddenly felt that he was about to become obsolete.

The young people today are really amazing.

During the last meeting, Xu Jingzong was amazed by Chen Qingsi's ability, but he was not so emotional. After all, there were too many talented and beautiful people in history who had a bumpy career because they didn't know how to behave or be an official.Today, Chen Qingsi is well versed in the way of being an official, has strategies, and knows how to be an official. His future is unpredictable.

"Supervisor Chen is coming with me. Let's talk in another place..."

Xu Jingzong did not answer directly, but led Chen Qingsi to the top floor of the Xu family residence.

Chen Qingsi was once again shocked by Xu Jingzong's luxury.

He has always wondered why Xu Jingzong designed his home to be like a high-rise building, with rooms connected to each other.

After going up to the top floor, Chen Qingsi finally understood.

It turns out that the top floor is actually a racecourse...

The houses on the top floor were connected to each other. Chen Qingsi estimated that there were at least sixty or seventy connected rooms.

Xu Jingzong looked at the shocked Chen Qingsi and smiled and said: "I don't have any good things, I just like polo. You and I can enjoy polo and have a drink at the same time."

Xu Jingzong took Chen Qingsi to sit down, and the beautiful maid had already filled her with wine.

Chen Qingsi was in a trance. Twenty women in cool clothes, riding short horses, were fighting each other amidst the rapid beating of drums.

"how?"

Chen Qingsi racked her brains, but only five words came to her mind: "You fucking know how to play!"

After a pause, he choked out a sentence: "Being able to watch such a wonderful game on this high-rise building will be something I will never forget."

Xu Jingzong laughed proudly: "There are only a handful of people who can watch the polo match on my flying tower."

Chen Qingsi said: "Thank you for your love and respect me."

Xu Jingzong raised his glass and drank it in one sip, and said: "You can choose a time tomorrow to go to Dali Temple, and someone will take you to see Liu Gui Shizhong."

The top leader of Dali Temple, Dali Temple Minister Xin Maojiang, was from Xu Jingzong.

Today, Dali Temple is controlled by General Xin Mao and Yuan Gongyu.

For Lai Ji, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to enter Dali Temple, but for Xu Jingzong, it was just a matter of words.

　I originally planned to update it earlier, but when I was editing it, my daughter woke up and I had to change her diapers and feed her milk, which was delayed, haha!
