Chapter 98 The grievances of the two worlds
Jiao Chen looked at Pei Min who was worried about his apprentice and said in surprise: "No, my husband praised Zhongsi more than once in front of me. Young Master Taibai was terrifying, saying that one of them was brave, resourceful, calm and cautious, and the other was literary and polite, and swordsmanship...1a Whenever he praised them, I couldn't help but laugh secretly. The husband said that he was old-fashioned, but he didn't know how old he was to them!"
Seeing that Pei Min's devil claws had moved to his buttocks, his face couldn't help but turn red and said quickly: "My husband like this, I think too white is a rare young hero. With the amulet of Mr. Lang, it's understandable that he is tired, how can he endure hardship?"
"This lady doesn't understand!" Pei Min casually said, "Taibai is too arrogant and it is no exaggeration to say that he is young and frivolous. If he is just like Brother Zhang, he is obsessed with culture, then there is naturally no one to deceive. With his swordsmanship and his literary talent, there is definitely not many people who can surpass him. But Taibai's true pursuit is fame, and his ambition is not a poet or a knight! Instead, he goes to the court and goes to the officialdom and shows what he has learned."
"This is learned from the imperial family and bought it. It is not surprising that Taibai has this idea, but the officialdom is not entirely talented. The more talented a person is, the more he suppresses it. The real person is, not only talented, but also knows how to adapt, even flatter, and flatter, and curry favor with his superiors. To put it bluntly, it is a process of flattery. This is an inevitable process. Even a person who is upright and selfless has to walk this path more or less, but it is just the severity of his performance."
"For example, when you are lazy and work diligently when your boss comes, this is also a way of flattery. In short, you don't know how to adapt and praise each other. In terms of official connections, you can't afford to be... The lady should understand this principle better."
Jiao Chen nodded. Although she was not a good person, she was always angry when facing many guests who listened to the piano, even if she was repulsed in her heart, apologizing was inevitable.
"It's good luck to be a husband! I took a shortcut and directly obtained a high position by relying on the skills of the dragon. Therefore, there is only one object of flattery. As long as I please Your Majesty alone, the rest of them will respect each other enough."
"Taibai and too arrogant, unwilling to take shortcuts, and disdain this kind of official exchange, but he is also interested in breaking into the officialdom. If he doesn't touch his head, he will be bleeding and will be a ghost."
Pei Min certainly knew that Li Bai's life was not satisfactory, and that his personality determined his destiny.
It was not that he did not have the opportunity to become an official, but he had several opportunities, but because of his own nature, he offended people, and was excluded and suppressed. He was eventually convicted of Changliu Yelang for participating in the Eastern Tour of King Yong.
Jiao Chen smiled and said, "I have my own personal fate, but I think it's a good thing to let Taibai practice and practice. If you learn from your mistakes and gain wisdom, you may not be able to temper his arrogance."
Pei Min felt it was very difficult, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might not be impossible.
Even if the child is not clean and suffers outside, isn’t it the same when he returns home?
Li Bai's journey to the officialdom was difficult, but the road to poetry should be unobstructed.
He first made some contributions to the poetry world, and finally came back and found a way to give him a job with one or two positions. If he had his thoughts, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?
Thinking of this, he was cheerful and smiled and said, "It's reasonable!"
After a pause, he said in confusion: "But this matter is afraid that there will be a source. Taibai is a little sudden. It should be the result of some things being born in Chang'an. What happened to Chang'an?"
Jiao Chen suggested: "Why go find Sun Zhou? He should know something."
"Okay!"
Pei Min has always been decisive and acted decisively when she thought of things. She didn't hesitate and went to find Sun Zhou directly.
Sun Zhou was a talent he met secretly in the collusion between Yang Ju, the Censor General of the Censorate, and later he was lucky to capture Tubo and helped him win the first battle of laying the foundation in Taozhou with internal and external cooperation.
Sun Zhou’s biggest characteristic is that he thinks too much and can think about a simple thing very complicatedly, so that he can reveal something that others cannot see.
Such people are best at engaging in intelligence work, analyzing and thinking from a lot of useless information and finding useful things.
In the battle to capture the Jiuqu land of Hexi, Pei Min was like a fish in water, and his strategies and tactics were at the same time to stabilize Tubo.
On the one hand, it was indeed Tubo's own destruction of the Great Wall. Apart from the fact that the Tubo army god Gar Qinling led to the disagreement of Qinghuang, the other hand, was that Sun Zhou, who won over Murong Ying, the royal family of Tuyuhun, gave a false promise to touch Tubo completely.
This is as convenient as a normal person teaches a blind man a lesson...
However, Sun Zhou's method of fooling Murong Ying was not glorious. In order to fail to fulfill his conviction, he deliberately leaked Murong Ying out, resulting in Murong Ying being executed for Tubo.
If all kinds of means are spread, it will damage the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, and many achievements are not recorded in the merit book.
After Pei Min confirmed that Sun Zhou was loyal to his character, he used his talents and asked him to be responsible for the intelligence department, not only to the outside but also to the inside.
As a foreign minister, it is most taboo to know nothing about the direction of Chang'an. In order to protect yourself, Pei Min used the identity of another Zhu, Jiao Chen and the convenience of Jinxiufang to form an intelligence network.
After years of exhibitions, the intelligence network has begun to operate.
Sun Zhou had this ability and also gained Pei Min's trust and handed over the intelligence network to him.
Sun Zhou's current official position is the official of the Jiedushi, a position that is neither big nor small, can just cover up his real usefulness.
When he came to the office where Sun Zhou was in the government office, Sun Zhou crossed his legs and looked at the book leisurely.
Reading is a major hobby in his life. It was because he loved reading that when he was a current person in General Yang's mansion, he secretly borrowed books and broke the story of Yang Ju's selling the country.
There was no condition to read books at the beginning, but now I have it, so it is naturally a crazy bad knowledge.
Because of this, there was a false news circulating in the shogunate of Pei Min's military governor, that Sun Zhou was the only one who entered the shogunate through the back door...
Sun Zhou didn't care, and he was content with himself.
Seeing Pei Min arrive, Sun Zhou hurriedly put away his legs and stepped forward and said, "Ship Pei!"
"Everyone says that you live a leisurely life! I didn't believe it at first, but seeing it is true!" Pei Min said with a little intimate feeling.
Sun Zhou replied, "That's also a blessing for Shuai Pei!"
"Don't do this!" Pei Min asked, "Do you know what Taibai has done in Chang'an?"
Sun Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Is it a conflict with Li Yong, the governor of Yuzhou?"
Pei Min frowned and said, "Tell me!"
He has never heard of who Li Yong is, but he has heard of Li Bai's "Present to Li Yong" because he was coldly treated by Li Yong. The young and frivolous Li Bai expressed his ambitions and strong desire to use the world.
Sun Zhou explained the situation in detail.
After hearing this, Pei Min was so thunderous that Li Bai and Li Yong had a three-generation fate.
In history, Li Bai went out of Shu and met Li Yong in Yuzhou. The two had a dispute and made "Present Li Yong"!
Now history has changed. Li Bai left Shu early and encountered a dispute before Li Yong went to Yuzhou to work. He still had a dispute and wrote "Present Li Yong"...
Two lifetimes of grudges......
