I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"You are from Chengqian? You winked your eyes and coughed all the way. What exactly do you want to say? If you have something urgent to tell Chengqian, you can just speak up!"

Zhang Nuo spoke straightforwardly as always, which in itself was Zhang Nuo's favorite style, he was always straightforward, let alone a strange official he had never met before.

His status is determined, he doesn't need to play around with others, if you can't stand it, you can only hold back!

But it seems that his straightforward style is a bit lethal. The young official was dumbfounded when he heard this question, and he stood there for a while, not knowing how to answer it.

After all, in the officialdom, especially the middle class, they like the cloudy and misty way of communication the most. On the contrary, the bottom-level minions and the top-level bosses speak very straightforwardly.

There is nothing to be shy about those at the bottom. Everyone looks up and sees down. Who do you want to fool when you talk so much? As for the big bosses at the top, it’s because everyone is on the same level. If you cover it up, If the information conveyed is too inaccurate, it will cause big trouble instead. It is better to say it directly, and put any disagreements on the table for discussion.

But the middle level is different. On the one hand, they have to show their style in front of the bottom officials, and the orders they convey are more in this concealed way, and they are thrown out for the people below to think about, so as to reflect their own level.

On the other hand, when they communicate with each other, they also like to use this method, because they feel that this method can quickly find like-minded people who "know the elegant meaning by listening to the stringed songs".

Zhang Nuo doesn't care so much, for him, the stunned young man in front of him seems to be a little bit clueless, so how long are you going to be in a daze.

At the beginning, when Li Chengqian saw Zhang Nuo open his mouth, he didn't talk too much, but now he couldn't stand this stupid look, this is really his, isn't this embarrassing in front of his teacher.

"Yifu, the teacher asked you a question, why didn't you answer it? Do you have something urgent to ask me?"

Li Chengqian was a little rude when he spoke at this time. As a student, he naturally hoped to have a good impression in front of his teacher. He could ask the teacher for advice if he didn't understand something, or if he didn't do something well.

These are all small problems between teachers and students, but the nature of the people under his own hands making a fool of himself in front of his own teachers is completely different.

When Zhang Nuo heard Li Chengqian call him Yifu, he felt something was wrong. Why did the name sound so familiar, but any name that sounded familiar to him was either a virtuous minister or a treacherous minister.

Just when Zhang Nuo began to rummage through his memory, the official named Yifu finally came to his senses. He first apologized to Zhang Nuo and Li Chengqian, and then explained,

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Qin, I have nothing important to report. I just wanted to remind His Royal Highness that some matters belong to internal affairs. Logically speaking, His Royal Highness King Qin cannot tell them!"

Li Chengqian frowned immediately when he heard this. He actually knew what the other party meant. In fact, the other party had reminded him before coming here that it is best not to presuppose some things in front of Zhang Nuo, especially those that are not done properly, so as not to get caught. lose point.

But Li Chengqian promised well, but in fact he didn't care at all in his heart. Just kidding, what kind of place is this? Soldier, his teacher, if His Royal Highness Zhang Nuo wants to know something, can't he go through the military channel?

Besides, even his father didn't have anything to hide from his teacher. He always said something, only Zhang Nuo didn't want to know, and he never had anything to hide.

But he didn't expect that the other party not only mentioned it before, but also mentioned it again now. What is he trying to do? He is going to put him on the fire?

On the contrary, Zhang Nuo looked at the other party, and finally remembered a person named Yifu, so he directly interrupted Li Chengqian's questioning, looked at the other party and asked,

"Your name is Li Yifu? When and what did you become an official?"

Li Yifu was taken aback, not knowing what Zhang Nuo meant, but the question had already been asked, and he naturally had to answer as a subordinate, so he bowed down and answered honestly,

"Your Majesty was recommended by Li Daliang, the inspector of Jiannan Road last year, as a provincial Dianyi because of his good writing style. It happened that His Royal Highness was about to take charge of the Central South area. He was sent here by His Majesty. Now he is a man next to His Highness. Official!"

Well, we're right, the treacherous official Li Yifu!

Chapter 987 Solutions

Zhang Nuo really didn't expect that he would meet Li Mao of Li Yifu, who was known as a treacherous minister, simply by taking a walk and chatting with his apprentices.

This friend is not an ordinary person. In the original history, there was a lot of trouble. Not only did Li Zhi become a servant of the East Palace when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was still the prince, but he became Li Zhi's minister of the dragon.

And after that, he walked very steadily step by step. Not long after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was appointed as the prime minister and appointed as the Minister of Zhongshu, which can be regarded as an extremely human minister.

It's a pity that during his tenure as prime minister, he formed many cliques, sold officials and nobles, became powerful, and committed many illegal activities. Later, he was promoted to Zhongshu Ling and became the Duke of Hejian County.

He came from a humble background, and although he was an official prime minister, he was still not allowed to enter the scholar stream. Therefore, he asked to re-edit the "Clan Chronicles", advocating that regardless of family status, anyone who was a fifth-rank official or above was admitted to the scholar stream.

To put it bluntly, this is a traditional official who has no real skills, but writes well and flatters!

It's not that this kind of traditional officials can't do it at all!

In fact, there are still the most people like this in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty. After all, there were not many people who could read in the Tang Dynasty. Where can we find so many outstanding officials?

This is also the reason why Li Yifu is able to stand out. He can write good articles. In the eyes of the patrol ambassador, he is considered a good seedling.

This kind of person may not necessarily be able to reach a high position, but recommending such a person to go out, at least you don't have to bear too much responsibility.

On the contrary, it is the kind of talent and talent that have overflowed but whose emotional intelligence is not good. Most people really don't dare to recommend this kind of person.

Because this kind of person is quick to take the lead, but the chance of accidents is also high. Almost all of this kind of people have the dream of being a proud prince in white clothes, so let's not talk about talent or not, just rely on this personality , it is really quick to offend people.

It is precisely because of this that the traditional old bureaucrats who write articles and flatter are the main ones that flood the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.

Such people cannot be regarded as bad people, because they have done nothing bad.

But they can't be considered good people, because they haven't done anything good either.

It can only be said that all their ambitions and ideals are to be an official. It would be better to be able to make a career, but they can live without them.

Not to mention the ideal of helping the world to save lives and leaving a name in history. When something happens, the first thing to think about is that you can't make mistakes, and pick yourself out.

It can only be said that this kind of person, as long as he doesn't give the opportunity to climb too high, can really perfectly match Datang's needs. Although he can't do much business, he will definitely not cause much trouble.

However, Li Yifu is different!

This person not only has the basic skills of a traditional official to protect himself wisely and flatter others, but also has greater courage and means than a new-style official.

If there were any tragic things that Li Yifu did in the original history, then there really wasn't one. If Zhang Nuo hadn't appeared in front of Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo really didn't care about such a person. I really can't figure it out.

But some things are usually inconspicuous, but they are different when you put them in front of you.

Who is Li Chengqian? This is the doomed future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the current prince of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Central South, and the most important thing is that he is the apprentice Zhang Nuozhen has spent his time and effort cultivating.

It's not even an exaggeration to say that the goal Zhang Nuo couldn't achieve because of his salty fish temperament pointed to Li Chengqian's ability to achieve it in the future.

Therefore, Li Chengqian is not only Zhang Nuo's personal kaishan disciple who inherited the mantle, but also Zhang Nuo's only tool to realize his ideals and ambitions.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhang Nuo just watch such a bad thing like Li Yifu pop up beside his stupid apprentice.

For people like Li Yifu, Zhang Nuo has the most simple and basic understanding, that is, what this kind of people are best at is demagoguery.

After all, if they don't have this ability, they won't be able to climb up quickly, and they won't be able to flatter people. Only if they truly understand people's thoughts, can they handle every word and every thing properly.

In fact, Zhang Nuo didn't mind that Li Chengqian had such a person by his side. Isn't that what the servants do?

To put it bluntly, it is right for the servants to flatter and cater to their wishes, because they rely on this kind of skills to make a living, but it is different for officials. If your main skills are on this, then Nima will be scum in other aspects to what extent.Besides, this kind of person wants too much.

If the servants only want to live a better life and be richer, then these official officials are different. They want too much.

After all this work, wouldn't it be Li Chengqian who was responsible for what happened in the end?And it was Datang who got hurt in the end.

How the hell can this work?

These messy thoughts didn't take up much of Zhang Nuo's time, they just made Zhang Nuo feel that, as Li Chengqian's master and His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, he should stand on the last post.

Zhang Nuo was about to ask Cao Xing, who was on the side, to dig a hole for this unlucky thing, but when he turned around and saw Li Chengqian, Zhang Nuo shut up instantly.

Today's Li Chengqian is no longer the kid who followed behind him in the past. After all, he is also the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Central South. If he directly punishes the people under him in front of him, this kid is afraid It's because he's not as good-looking as he is.

Although Zhang Nuo was sure that Li Chengqian would not get angry at him, he was neither of that character nor that courageous, but why bother, there was absolutely no need to be like that.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo smiled slightly, put his arm around Li Chengqian's shoulder and said,

"Chengqian, the teacher thinks that you are quite clever as a subordinate, how about letting the teacher?"

Li Chengqian is indeed not that honest kid who doesn't understand anything now. In the past, he might have really thought that Zhang Nuo valued his subordinates, but now that he has the experience of being in charge of a place, he He clearly knew that Zhang Nuo had discovered some problem and wanted to punish him, but he was trying to save face for him.

Li Chengqian hesitated for less than a second, and instantly nodded in agreement as if Li Yifu did not exist.

Zhang Nuo smiled and patted Li Chengqian's little head, knowing that this kid has noticed it, but it's nothing, it's a mistake to take care of his young heart, don't tell me I have to come down and put on a play for you?

Chapter 988 Li Chengqian's Choice

The conversation between Zhang Nuo and Li Chengqian was not loud, and the others were one or two steps behind because of their identities, so they didn't even know what the two of them were talking about.

So when Zhang Nuo beckoned Cao Xing to go over, the people behind were a little confused.

At this time, Zhang Nuo found that Li Chengqian had understood, so there was no need to hide it, so he patted Cao Xing on the shoulder and said,

"The Li Yifu who just walked with you in the back, you can directly arrange for someone to take it away, first go and check if there is any problem, if there is a problem, kill him immediately, if there is no problem, just talk to someone, just tell me what I said, He can't be an official in this life!"

Cao Xing was taken aback when he heard this. As the captain of Zhang Nuo's personal guard, to be honest, he had killed people before on the battlefield, but he had never done such a trick, and what Zhang Nuo meant was to make it clear that I wanted to Started the whole person.

At this moment, Cao Xing was really excited.

There is no way, as the captain of the personal guard, even though it has been changed into a security bureau now, the organization, level and training content have all been replaced with new ones, but how can people's ideas change overnight?

For these guards, especially those who are long-term personal guards, whether they can help the master's family with some private things, especially some dirty things that are not visible to the public, is whether they become "in the eyes of the master's family" own people" standard.

This is an unspoken rule that everyone in the industry knows!

But Cao Xing is an exception. If you say that he is not trusted, he has been staying by Zhang Nuo’s side well, and Zhang Nuo’s messy work is entrusted to him, and some of his personal problems are also directly explained to others. People dealt with him cleanly.

According to this way of doing things, he is indeed Zhang Nuo's "insider", but according to the unspoken rules of the bodyguard industry, he really didn't help Zhang Nuo deal with any dirty things.

It's not Zhang Nuo's fault. If he wants to punish someone or target someone, he doesn't need Cao Xing to do something secretly.

But this kind of situation made it obvious that Cao Xing did a very good job in Zhang Nuo's house, but he was still a little worried. After all, whether it's seniors or colleagues in this industry, everyone does it like this, but it's just here There was an accident, so it's no wonder he wasn't worried.

You know, the line of guarding may sound like something, but to put it bluntly, it's a job of "fighting against others". No matter how powerful you are, it's useless.

Besides the emperor Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, is there anyone more awesome than Zhang Nuo?

No!So Cao Xing is unwilling to give up this good seat, and it is understandable that he wants to make progress.

And he also understood that Zhang Nuo really didn't need him to do dirty things, why did he need to be sneaky when he could kill people openly.

Originally, Cao Xing let go of the knot in his heart, and planned to be the captain of the personal guard for the rest of his life, but he never thought that he would accompany Zhang Nuo on this last expedition, and he would complete his life's mission as soon as he arrived at the starting point. A long-cherished wish, I can finally do something bad.

Although this "bad thing" may not be a big deal, in Cao Xing's view, compared to before, this is something he should be proud of.

So, after listening to Zhang Nuo's words, when Cao Xing turned his head to look at Li Yifu, his eyes almost glowed green.

He had already thought about it, and he didn't know if there would be such an opportunity in the future, so he thought that this was the first time Zhang Nuo had ordered him to do this kind of trickery, and he had to do it beautifully.

Although he didn't understand why Zhang Nuo wanted to be a small official whom he met for the first time, but since Zhang Nuo spoke up and Li Chengqian, as the landlord and master, didn't object, then what's the point, let's do it!

As for the reasons and reasons, that is not something Cao Xing needs to consider.

Cao Xing didn't say much, he directly waved at the guard next to him, and made a gesture by the way, and the guard's eyes lit up instantly.

Just kidding, even Cao Xing, the captain of the personal guard, didn't get the chance to do any dirty things for Zhang Nuo, let alone the people below them.

Looking at Cao Xing's posture now, it is clear that he is working for Zhang Nuo, and the boss can eat meat and they can drink soup, so let's deal with him!

Li Yifu was wondering right now, just now Zhang Nuo asked him casually, he explained his background and so on, originally he was a little excited in his heart, thinking that this was going to climb the high branch of the Qin Palace.

But in the blink of an eye, before he could get enough of the fun, two big men with ferocious faces but with a hint of joy, one covering his mouth and choking his neck, the other directly clasped his hands, barely giving him a chance to make a sound, just like carrying a pig Generally slipped away.

Li Yifu is naturally not willing to be taken away like this. All fools know that this is definitely not a high-level branch. It is clear that they want to take him away. Good thing.

But no matter how he struggled and howled, in the hands of two professional bodyguards, he could only be like a fish landed on the shore. It was quite cheerful to jump around, but in fact it was useless.

Li Yifu didn't understand what happened here, but he knew that His Royal Highness definitely wasn't going to punish him, because if Li Chengqian wanted to punish him, he didn't have to wait until this time, so he put all his expectations on Li Chengqian.

But the more he struggled, the more disappointed he was, because Li Chengqian seemed to have never heard the movement behind, and continued to tell Zhang Nuo what happened here recently with a smile.

When Li Yifu was about to be dragged to a corner, he suddenly noticed that Li Chengqian glanced at him. This glance made Li Yifu's already silent heart beat again. The strength of the strands struggled vigorously.

But the reality is often like this, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Li Yifu originally thought that Li Chengqian would save him without saying anything, but at least he would ask more or less. After all, he asked himself that since he followed Li Chengqian to Zhongnan last year, he has done well Satisfied Li Chengqian.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have changed from an ordinary underclassman to someone who could follow Li Chengqian in less than a year.

But the reality is so cruel, Li Chengqian turned his head and saw him, but he just saw him, barely staying on him for a second, then turned his head and continued chatting with Zhang Nuo!

Li Yifu was completely disappointed!

Chapter 989 Li Chengqian's Grievance

This little incident in Li Yifu's house is not a big deal to Zhang Nuo or Li Chengqian, although Li Chengqian is usually an honest child.

But no matter how honest you are, you have to look at your background.

A person who grew up with Li Shimin, witnessed the conquests of Prince Qin's mansion, witnessed the strife in the palace, and even went directly to the battlefield by Zhang Nuo's side, how much would something happen to a small official? Psychological fluctuations?

Zhang Nuo would be disappointed if there was a real disturbance!

Of course, if you don't make trouble, you won't make trouble, but in fact Li Chengqian is really not as indifferent as Li Yifu thought, he really asked, after all, he has nothing to hide in front of Zhang Nuo.

"Teacher, what happened to Li Yifu?"

Zhang Nuo glanced at him, and was relieved to see that the kid looked normal and not showing any resentment, so he pretended to say casually,

"It's nothing, it's just that there is something wrong with this person. I asked Cao Xingti to sneak out and investigate. If there is something wrong, I will kill him directly. Even if I don't find out the specifics, I don't plan to make him an official!"

"Why, you like him very much? Can't bear it?"

Li Chengqian was inexplicably relieved when he heard this answer.
