Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1146: The romantic genius Chen Lifu

Liu Bagou's status in the Tang Dynasty has always been special. He can sit firmly in the imperial study without forming a gang. Moreover, Liu Bagou will still be there for many years to come. Royal study.

Such a person is different from Qian Yuli and Song Ruangao. Therefore, he does not have much interest in the courtiers. When he recommends people, most of them maintain a neutral attitude and do not even need to Use referrals as an opportunity to strengthen your authority.

And that's why Liu Bagou recommended Xiang Hanyi!

He did not recommend him to Xiang Hanyi because he was a member of his own faction, nor did he expect to gain his loyalty by recommending Xiang Hanyi, because in Liu Bagou's view, the loyalty of all subjects, including his own, They should all be dedicated to the Son of Heaven. A minister should offer so-called loyalty to a certain minister, which is inherently a kind of treason.

Therefore, when he recommended candidates for the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, he did not recommend anyone with any obvious faction, but Xiang Hanyi, who had no obvious factional tendencies.

Xiang Hanyi has always been a relatively low-key person in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty. He used to work in the local area, and later in the Department of Commerce and Enterprise. His reputation is not very prominent, but he is just one of the many senior officials. people.

However, it is precisely because it is not very eye-catching that many people, including Chen Lifu, are unfamiliar with Xiang Hanyi. Naturally, they have heard of this name, but what about the details of Xiang Hanyi? But don't know much.

And the unknown, represents the risk!

Therefore, even a person like Chen Lifu who likes to do things, after hearing the name of Xiang Hanyi, because there is not too obvious information in his memory, he feels that he should keep a low profile for a while and see what Xiang Hanyi is like. people, what do you think about yourself?

Chen Lifu lived in the Shanghai Terminal Company for several days, arranged the affairs of the Shanghai Terminal Company properly, and after his intervention, the third phase of the terminal construction project of the Shanghai Terminal Company was resumed, he left here, and then He didn't make any other big moves, he just waited quietly for his immediate boss, Xiang Hanyi, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, to arrive in Shanghai.

Not only Chen Lifu, but the entire Songjiang Mansion was waiting for Xiang Hanyi to take office.

While everyone was waiting, Xiang Hanyi did not arrive in Shanghai immediately, but took a detour to Suzhou. What was he going to do, he went directly to see his immediate superior, Jiangnan Taoist Taoist Huo Shouqi.

Although his prefect of Songjiang Prefecture is the only one in the entire empire from the third-rank prefect, in front of Huo Shouqi, he is still a junior.

Huo Shouqi started from the dragon much earlier than many middle and senior officials in the empire, and his future is bright. No one knows when he will be transferred to Gyeonggi to become a cabinet minister.

Such people cannot be ignored.

Xiang Hanyi went to Suzhou to meet Huo Shouqi. According to insiders, the meeting between him and Huo Shouqi lasted for more than three hours, and they also had a light lunch together, but what was their meeting discussed, naturally No one knows about it, except for those eagle dogs, who are nowhere to be seen.

Three days later, a routine report of Hantong about this meeting was put into a sealed envelope, and then sent back to Gyeonggi. The person in charge of Hantong, who was in charge of monitoring the dynamics of officials in Gangnam Province, simply read this. A report, he is naturally not interested in the ordinary things on the report, he only cares about the content of their conversation, and there is nothing about conspiracy, gangs and private interests.

Now that they are only discussing ordinary government affairs, even if the above is about the people's livelihood and economic affairs of the entire Songjiang Prefecture, and even Jiangnan Province, and it is also related to Chen Lifu, but he is not moved at all.

Put your own private seal and the official seal of your department directly on the report, and then reseal it. In the end, this report will be sent to Hantong to be protected like many secret reports from all over the empire every day. kept in the secret archives.

This report will be the same as almost all of Hantong's report documents, lying quietly in this archives, year after year, never seeing the light of day!

Of course, the content of this report is still written into the daily briefing and presented to the Son of Heaven, but a report of several thousand words has been condensed into one sentence: "On the seventh day of the 12th lunar month in the tenth year of Xuanping, The prefect of Songjiang met with Hanyi, a Taoist priest of Jiangnan Dao, Huo Shouqi, and talked about people's livelihood affairs, no difference!"

Others are not the point, the point is only the following three words!

To put it bluntly, Han Tong doesn't care about other affairs of these officials at all. As long as they don't engage in party selfishness, plot rebellion, and engage in anger and resentment that affect the rule of the empire, Han Tong is usually too lazy to take care of them.

Even if Zhou Lide, the magistrate of Hantong's current Shanghai County, was corrupt, the focus of Hantong's report was not on how much money this person had embezzled, but on the corruption situation in Songjiang Prefecture. Corruption in the officialdom will affect the economic development of Songjiang Prefecture, and then shake the economy of the empire, which must be curbed.

Hantong's report is not aimed at Zhou Lide, but at the point of the shaken rule caused by large-scale corruption.

This time, I met Huo Shouqi with Hanyi. Although the content they talked about was very important, it was not the focus of Hantong's attention, so they were too lazy to pay attention.

But Han Tong is too lazy to take care of it, it doesn't mean that others don't pay attention!

Xiang Hanyi went to Suzhou to meet Huo Shouqi, so Chen Lifu and other people from Songjiang Prefecture were naturally very concerned.

Even Jia Wenbo, who went east with Xiang Hanyi before, but was left behind by Xiang Hanyi, was quite concerned about what Xiang Hanyi had talked about with Huo Shouqi.

Too bad they don't know!

As a Taoist priest in the south of the Yangtze River, Huo Shouqi would naturally ignore the speculations of the middle and low-level officials under his command, and Xiang Hanyi, as a party, would not say anything.

After Xiang Hanyi met Huo Shouqi, this was the only way to go to Shanghai. This time, there were no other accidents on the way. Xiang Hanyi's ship arrived in Shanghai smoothly all the way.

Xiang Hanyi's boat hadn't docked at the pier, but he saw a large group of people waiting on the pier. You don't need to look in detail to know that most of these people are officials of Songjiang Prefecture, that is, his future subordinates, and there are a few more. Some of them are people from the upper class of Songjiang Prefecture, including high-ranking gentry, high-ranking officials of big companies and so on.

After the boat was docked at the dock, Xiang Hanyi did not set up any shop, but said to his entourage and the director of the Jiangnan Provincial Office of Officials who accompanied him: "Get off the boat!"

After all, he just disembarked with a group of people!

As soon as Xiang Hanyi got off the boat, a group of people waiting at the pier was led by Chen Lifu and Jia Wenbo to greet him!

After the salute, Chen Lifu took two steps forward to Xiang Hanyi and said, "Chen Lifu from the Ministry of Staff pays a visit to Lord Fu Zun!"

Xiang Hanyi glanced at Chen Lifu. He had heard this man's name many times, but it was the first time he had seen him. This man was younger than he thought.

There are a lot of rumors about Chen Lifu in the officialdom, there are all kinds of rumors, um, it is generally not a good word, which also gives a negative impression to many people, thinking that Chen Lifu's appearance should also be more wretched, at a glance Go up like a traitor.

But I really saw Chen Lifu, but I found that this person has a good skin. If he hadn't been wearing a Confucian official uniform and the badge of a fourth-rank official, I'm afraid this person would still be regarded as a graceful and romantic The genius.

Not to mention, Chen Lifu was really a romantic talent in his early years, and he made a big name on the Qinhuai River, but everyone on the Qinhuai River competed for a great talent who provided free bed-warming services. Warming the bed overnight, this oiran can be worth the money. It went up a lot out of thin air.

But what kind of person is Chen Lifu, I have seen many stunning women, and there are dozens of beautiful concubines in the family, how can I be easily confused by these oirans, that is, there are a few times that I really can't get rid of it, and this is why I stayed overnight for the night.

This Chen Lifu, in the eyes of ordinary people, his skin is indeed good, and as a traditional scholar, he is proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and so on.

He was able to pass the Jinshi examination in the former Ming Dynasty, and his poetry skills were naturally not bad. Even if it was not top, it was at least first-class. Many years ago, he filled the Qinhuai River with sand and night tour of Qinhuai, and now he is still on the Qinhuai River. The women play and sing widely.

In addition, this person's bamboo pictures are also unique, and many contemporary great painters have praised them, saying that his bamboo pictures have a persevering spirituality.

If such a person is not an official, even if he doesn't have a penny, he can still play well on the Qinhuai River, not to mention that Chen Lifu still has money, a lot of money, which makes him even more favored by Qinhuai women Favored.

It's a pity that since he entered the official position, he has rarely done such things as staying in Qinhuai at night.

Talented and beautiful women travel together, it is naturally completely different from the vulgar thing that sleeps in Qinhuai at night. This is a romantic affair!

Seeing Chen Lifu like this, Xiang Hanyi secretly thought in his heart, it is a pity for such a person to be an official, what kind of official, how good it is to travel around the mountains and waters, maybe they will be able to leave one for them in the Tang Dynasty in the future. The story of the romantic genius is the same as Liu Yong.

But if Chen Lifu knew what Xiang Hanyi was thinking, he would definitely be angry at him!

He, Chen Lifu, wants to be an official... He wants to be a high-ranking official!

Because he wants to help the sage and create a prosperous world!

How could a man like him be compared to those incompetent people who lingered on vulgar fans, were bewitched by pink skeletons, and ended up being drunk and dreaming of death.

It is a pity that no one knows what Xiang Hanyi thinks, and no one knows what Chen Lifu thinks!

As for what they plan to do, no one else knows.
