Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 243 Students are taught
  Chen Qingsi calculated it forward through the rebellion of the nine surnamed Tie Le in history, with the benefit of hindsight.

It would be really difficult for him to ask for evidence.

But Di Renjie was able to achieve a lifetime of fame through many ups and downs in the hands of Wu Zetian and her ruthless officials. How could he be ignorant of the twists and turns in officialdom?
  It's just that now that he is entering officialdom for the first time, no matter how talented he is, he still needs a chance to adapt.

What's more, Di Renjie hasn't gotten to the core yet, doesn't understand Li Zhi's temperament, and doesn't know that Li Zhi is an emperor who only wants results and doesn't care about the process.

Di Renjie was stunned, a little hard to accept. The problem that I have been struggling with for a long time was solved violently because of this reason.

This Mr. Chen had no evidence at all and relied on civil and military collusion to forcibly arrest and investigate him.

Even if he is wrong, he can still rely on smuggling refined salt to close the case and put an end to the matter.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.

Eating empty pay is an unsolvable problem, and this situation extends far beyond the Lingxia border army.

There are more than [-] people in the Tang Dynasty who charge into the government. Not to mention [-]% of them are unpaid, but also [-]%. It's just a matter of quantity.

If Mr. Chen really wants to hold on to his free salary, he is sure to cause nationwide riots.

Your Majesty may not be unaware of this situation, but just turn a blind eye. As long as it is not excessive, it can be tolerated.

Your Majesty also doesn't want to make the matter a big deal, so if there is no Tiele rebellion and the smuggling of refined salt is discovered, that would be the best result.

Maybe even if he really finds out the truth, Mr. Chen will not pierce this layer of paper, but will deal with it as appropriate in a heart-to-heart way.

I have to say that Di Renjie's political consciousness is indeed remarkable, but he has already figured it out by thinking about it on his own.

"Students are taught!"

Di Renjie bowed and returned the gift.

Chen Qingsi quite enjoyed being a teacher to Di Renjie and wanted to say more.

In the end, people just gave me a hint and figured it out on my own, without any sense of accomplishment.

Chen Qingsi held back her words and said, "What are your plans for the future?"

Di Renjie was a little confused.

Chen Qingsi said: "Do you want to stay in the capital, or go out to serve as an official? It is unnecessary and a waste of time to hone your talents at the grassroots level. You will make great contributions to the north with me this time. After returning to the capital, I will report to Your Majesty , Mr. Xu recommends you. If you want to stay in the capital, Dali Temple is very suitable for you. Just raise it to the top appropriately. If you want to be an official elsewhere, it is also a good choice."

He said with some seriousness: "Both choices have pros and cons. How can I put it, in the capital, after all, at the feet of the emperor, there will definitely be more opportunities. However, opportunities are often accompanied by risks, and they will be involved in various situations involuntarily. In the midst of unpredictable events, it would be better to serve as a local official. You can avoid the turmoil in the temple, do things that are beneficial to the people in a down-to-earth manner, and improve your qualifications."

Di Renjie first bowed and thanked him, and then said: "The student is a young man and wants to imitate the teacher and do some practical things for the people and the world in a down-to-earth manner."

Chen Qingsi respected Di Renjie's choice and said with a smile, "It's great that Huaiying has such a good intention."

The two chatted and discussed some things about governing the place. Di Renjie's father, Di Zhisun, served as a county magistrate. Di Renjie learned a lot from the sidelines and knew the common problems encountered in governing the place, so he took the opportunity to ask Chen Qingsi for advice.

This aspect is Chen Qingsi's specialty. He has rich grassroots experience, and his opponents are not the simple people of this era. There are many educated local ruffians and even local tyrants. They have seen all kinds of things. Bidi Zhi He is not weak at all.

Until news of the arrival of the imperial edict came from outside the house.

Chen Qingsi had a bad premonition instantly.

What he was waiting for was the order to withdraw the troops. All he needed was an order from the Prime Minister's Ministry of War, and the imperial edict would be passed.

really……

"Chen Qingsi, the official of Chaosan and the deposed envoy of Guannei Dao, is both wise and courageous. He has insight into the opportunities ahead and is resolute. He is determined to defeat the thieves behind. With prestige and prestige, he is a man from Jiangzuo County. Your Majesty Xiansan accepts surrender to the city. I read the policy and I am very happy. It is really a strategy to stabilize the country. I specially appointed you as the pacifier to appease the northern border and supervise the construction of Sanshou surrender city..."

Chen Qingsi pursed her lips and said with some reluctance: "I accept the decree!"

This Li Xiaojiu really caught him alone!

"congratulations!"

"Mr. Chen was awarded a title at a young age based on his own merits. This is the only one in our dynasty!"

The chamberlain who delivered the edict handed the edict to Chen Qingsi and couldn't help but congratulate him.

Chen Qingsi held on to thank her and sent the waiter out.

Cheng Boxian, who came to congratulate Chen Qingsi, saw that Chen Qingsi was a little disappointed and not very happy. Thinking that he often counted the day when his child would be born, even he, who was very nervous, guessed the reason and said: "Isn't there still six months left? Three The surrender city is just a military fortress, not a fortified city. It will not take much time to complete it. At worst, we can increase the progress and find a way to complete it ahead of schedule."

Chen Qingsi frowned, glanced at him dissatisfied and said, "Don't mention this again."

He took a breath, softened his tone, looked at his student, and said, "The tone is a bit harsh, Bo Xian. You come from a wealthy family and have never understood the hardships of the common people. Some things are not as simple as you think."

"Lingxia Prefecture has a sparse population, and the people's lives are not as good as those in Gyeonggi Province, so they are under great pressure. There is a war again, although they are not harmed. But the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness that Mr. had implemented before inevitably caused a lot of losses to them. Jian Sanshou surrendered Building a city is a matter that consumes a lot of people's resources, and the limited people's power in Lingxia and Lingxia must be used rationally. If you abuse the people's power for your own selfish interests and put the people of Lingxia into poverty, how can you feel at ease?"

"That's all! Nothing goes smoothly in life. I proposed Sanshoujiang City, and it is reasonable for me to supervise its construction."

Chen Qingsi adjusted her mood, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Huaiying is not in a hurry to go back and recover, is he? Stay and help me. Lingzhou happens to have great potential, especially after the construction of Sanshou surrender city, it can further strengthen the relationship with Monan and Monan. To connect with Mobei, we can open a market in Hetao to promote trade between the two sides and get what they need."

Chen Qingsi also encountered many such situations in later generations. It has become a habit to give way to private matters for public affairs. Even if he is unhappy and complains, he will not take over his work.

The powers of the pacifier envoy are similar to those of the deposed envoy. They usually appoint court officials to appease and inspect war or disaster-stricken areas, and have the power to handle local administration.

Even a third-grade governor has to obey the arrangements when facing the pacifier.

Di Renjie knew what Chen Qingsi had expected from the unborn child in the capital. Seeing him teaching Cheng Boxian like this, he felt the same and bowed accordingly: "Students are taught and are willing to listen to your instructions."
