Chapter 11 The Book of Poetry and Books
"Li Quan?" Hearing the shout, Liu Qi turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw Li Quan walking towards him.
"Are you here to have a drink?" Liu Qi asked in confusion. It's noon now, but it's not time to get off work. Not working in the government office is one thing, but running out to have a drink is another thing; it's not the two days when I just withdrew from Talas to Suye Town.
"I'm not here to have a drink." Li Quan stood in front of him, and after his breath was calm, he said, "I'm here to tell you. When Mr. Cen met Zhang Biejia, the governor's office of Luzhou, he repeatedly begged him, and told him that you are also a scholar, and that he should not be a soldier; Zhang Biejia finally agreed..."
"Have you agreed to get rid of our military status?" Liu Qi interrupted with a little excitement before Li Quan finished speaking.
"Zhang Bieyou did not agree to take off your military status, but he promised to inspect you personally. As long as you do study and read, you will be the assistant to Gongcao. Although he is still a military status, he is not a soldier." Li Quan said, and joked again: "Now, you are the same as me, and you are also the assistant to the historical."
"It's so great!" Liu Qi couldn't help but shout. This result was the best result he wanted to achieve. He didn't want to follow Cen Shen to the Central Plains now, but if he didn't go to the Central Plains to stay in Anxi, he had to find errands to support himself. What else could be safer than the job of the government?
Before, because Cen Shen said he wanted to take him back to the Central Plains, Liu Qi could only give up the idea of doing an errand in Anxi's yamen; but he didn't expect that Cen Shen would accidentally realize his original idea in the end. How could he not be surprised?
‘It’s God’s blessing, I didn’t know Cen Shen once in vain.’ He couldn’t help but recite silently in his heart.
"Thank you, Shiqilang, for telling me this news." Liu Qi bowed to Li Quan and thanked him, and then said with a smile: "How can I compare myself with you? The military officers of the military officers of the military officers of the Governors' Office, and the military officers of the Governors' Office are privately established locally, which is far from the gap."
"Haha." Li Quan laughed twice and said, "You can't say that. They are all deputy positions, and they do similar responsibilities, no difference. Besides, my chief officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the military officer, the governor's office, is from the seventh rank. If we are promoted at the same time, your official position will be older than me."
"It's not so easy to get promoted. Shiqilang, your family has a lot of knowledge and is a local clan, so it's easy to get promoted. Maybe I'll be a disciple of the Secretariat for the rest of my life." Liu Qi interjected again.
"Don't be so self-deprecating."
They stood in front of the restaurant and said a few words, and Li Quan said, "If you don't tell me, I have to go back to the yamen."
"I'll treat you to wine tonight." Liu Qi hurriedly said.
"No need, I still have something to do at night and I don't have free time; and your money is not easy, don't spend it all."
Li Quan paused and said, "But you have to invite Mr. Cen to drink. He has been running around for your affairs these two days. No matter what, you have to express your feelings. But Mr. Cen has no time tonight."
"Mr. Cen and you don't have free time?" Liu Qi asked. Although it is normal for both of them to be busy, he still felt that they had no free time because of business, and it was the same business.
"Oh, Gao Jiedushi finally gave up his plan to attack Talas again." Li Quan sighed and said.
"Isn't this a good thing? The great cannibals are not easy to deal with. No more fighting with them will be a good thing for the Anxi Protectorate."
"It is a good thing for others, but it is not a good thing for Gao Jiedu. Gao Jiedu gave up fighting again, which means admitting that the battle failed and he could only apologize for the crime; and once he apologizes for the crime, he will definitely not be able to continue to serve as deputy governor of Anxi and governor of Anxi. Even if he is not deposed, he will be transferred to another office as an official."
"Gao Jiedushi has won many victories in Anxi over the years, and he will be dismissed if he loses once?" Liu Qi was actually very puzzled when he heard Cen Shen say that Gao Xianzhi was about to leave his post the day before yesterday. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. If he loses once, he will be transferred or even dismissed if he loses once, which is a bit too harsh.
"You don't understand." Li Quandao. Gao Xianzhi came to Jixi with his elders when he was a young man, and has been in Anxi (Da) Protectorate's Office. It is a place where the tree is deep. Today, the emperor has long wanted to transfer him to another position, such as the governor of Hexi and the prefect of Wuwei. However, Gao Xianzhi himself did not want to, and the emperor was worried that Anxi would be unstable, so he did not do so for the time being. However, as soon as Gao Xianzhi's apology was published, people close to the court and China could no longer speak for him, and the emperor could stop or demote him and deal with him at will.
But this was not easy to say to Liu Qi. Li Quan could only make a fuss and pretended that he didn't understand why he was vaguely passing Liu Qi's problem, and then continued: "Gao Jiedushi is about to leave his post, so he must be unhappy. According to his past behavior, he would probably provoke the errands done by various yamen and dismiss a few people. No one wants to be dismissed, and he will have to do more seriously in the past few days."
"Then should I take the initiative to pay homage to Zhang Biejia?" Liu Qi asked again.
"No need, Zhang Biejia has been very busy these days and has no time to see you. You can wait for him to call you on his own initiative, or ask for a meeting after returning to Luzhou." Li Quan said.
"I won't say much, I'm going back." After Li Quan said this, he said goodbye to Liu Qi and returned to the government office.
"What did he say to you just now?" Zhang Hu walked over and asked after Li Quan left.
"He said that Mr. Cen met Zhang Biejia from the Governor's Office today. Although Zhang Biejia refused to take off his nephew's military status, he was willing to let me be the military assistant of the Governor's Office, as long as I really know how to read." Liu Qi smiled.
"This is really great!" Zhang Hu laughed out loud. "I just said that Secretary Cen is an aide to the governor after all, so he would not even be able to arrange a small official for you."
"In the future, you will become an official in our Luzhou. You must be a good official and strive to be promoted to a high-ranking official as soon as possible. When you go back, you will also let my two sons study and follow you in the future."
Listening to Zhang Hu's words that were exactly the same as the day before yesterday, but were completely different from those a while ago, Liu Qi didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh a few times in embarrassment and said, "Go back to bed first."
"What are you sleeping? Let's continue to have a drink!" Zhang Hu said.
"Uncle Zhang, that's not what you said just now!" Liu Qi couldn't bear it anymore and had to retort when faced with words similar to "I'll get numb and get excited when I sleep," and the exact opposite of my own not long ago.
"Ah, is that?" Zhang Hu touched his head and smiled, "It seems that I didn't say that just now. Then go back to bed first."
‘Who is the elder? Why did the style of painting suddenly change from a calm and reliable middle-aged uncle to an old child? From a big-headed soldier to a minor official, he and his son, it’s so happy?’ Liu Qi couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and turned around and walked towards the military camp. Zhang Hu hurriedly followed.
