Chapter 26 Li Simo's visit

Li Simo knew that Shi Zhong’s words were untrue. After living in Chang’an for a long time, he could see from his clothes and behavior that he was extremely reluctant to let him go to the desert grassland to live the bitter and cold life, but he used his wife to make excuses.

"As long as your Majesty is right, you will be exempted from this ministry." Li Simo persuaded him perfunctorily, then changed the subject and asked, "I went to the palace to meet you today. Wu Zhong and Qianniu Bei's Xu Qilin competed for sumo, which made His Majesty unhappy. I wonder if it's important to fight?"

Shi Zhong was in a low mood. He said disrespectfully: "What is a kid fighting? His Majesty is magnanimous and will not care."

Li Simo pondered for a moment and said, "Where is Xu Qilin's origin? He is a preparatory person at a young age, and his sumo wrestling skills are even more powerful."

Shi Zhong thought for a while and said, "I only know that he is the brother of Xu Chongrong, a noble man in the palace. He has not made a name for himself a few months ago. I don't know how he won the favor of His Majesty. Perhaps Xu Chongrong was favored by His Majesty, and he loves the house and is already at the sixth rank in just a few days."

Li Simo pondered for a moment and said, "The court has its own laws. Only when Qianniu is prepared for his nobles can he be the son of a noble family. I'm afraid that this will not be the case with his sister alone?"

Shi Zhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe there is another reason for love, so I don't know."

Li Simo secretly complained that this guy has been in Chang'an for a long time and is used to being comfortable and afraid of suffering, but also has a disconnection. He asked him and found out that he had really found the wrong person.

Shi Zhong knew that Li Simo must be dissatisfied with his words, so he suggested: "It's good to let Wu Zhong make friends. Anyway, he is about the same age, so he hasn't made a big grudge, right?"

Li Simo nodded and said, "Wu Zhong was thrown several times by him and lost two good horses. By sending the horse, it's just a reason."

"Oh, Xu Qilin is so powerful?" Shi Zhong was a little surprised, but instead said without hesitation: "This is nothing, it's just two horses."

Li Simo also agreed deeply. Whether it is keeping his promise or being able to get some information from Xu Qilin, it will be no harm to try it.

You should know that although his Majesty Meng and Li Er gave him the surname and was named the prince, he was a person who lost his country. The Turks, including Li Simo, all had a sense of inferiority and were somewhat alienated from the Han ministers in the court.

Otherwise, foreign generals like Asunaser, Qibirheli, Zhishili and others worked so hard to fight for the Tang Dynasty, just to make their own tribes live a better life and stand up straight in the Tang Dynasty.

The same was true for Li Simo. He was afraid of Xue Yantuo because he felt that the strength was too different, but he dared to fight for his life when he was really fighting. When he followed His Majesty Li Er to fight against Goryeo, he charged forward and was injured by the ravage arrow. Perhaps because of this reason, he died after returning to the court.

Another concern of Li Simo was that he could not convince the public. Although His Majesty Li Er would call him Khan, he was just a Turkic nobleman after all, and his identity and qualifications were difficult to support his subordinates sincerely.

It is not very obvious when it is safe and peaceful. When crossing the river and facing Xueyantuo directly, the opposition and contradictions within the tribe can be imagined.

Therefore, he still remembers what Xu Qilin boasted in his heart. If there is really a way, wouldn’t it be better?

……………………………….

Xu Qilin took his men to the new unit in Xiudefang early in the morning.

As for the leader, you have to be decent. First, see what the office location looks like, and then condolence to your subordinates. We understand this trick!

Xu Qilin thought that the new unit was an ordinary house, so he had to clean up and buy some office supplies. But when he arrived at the site, he found that it turned out to be an office place.

The provincial eunuch, or the supervisor of the eunuch, has subordinates such as the Yeting Bureau, the Palace Bureau, and the Xiguan Bureau.

There is another Neijiaofang under the Yeting Bureau, which was later changed to the Arts Hall. The museum has two palace doctors and eighteen internal doctors, who are responsible for teaching palace masters, calculations, and arts.

The doctors of this Neijiaofang were held by Confucians in the early Tang Dynasty, and in the Kaiyuan period, they were appointed as eunuchs. Because they were not eunuchs, the Neijiaofang was set up in this place outside the palace.

The establishment of the Dayingku did not mean that all the inner sects were occupied. It just divided the inner sects into two, separated by a wall in the middle, opened a door to the street. Then, two institutions each accounted for half.

Xu Qilin was not interested in any luxurious office space. After walking around, he saw a lot of houses and the places were quite large, even chores, so there was nothing to be picky about.

When they met with the clerk and clerk of the Du Branch who came to report, they arranged their respective offices and some miscellaneous tasks. Xu Qilin took a few subordinates out of Fanglin Gate and walked north along Yong'an Canal to find a place to build the experimental workshop.

After the local demarcation, Xu Qilin rushed to the Ministry of Works again, dispatched officials and craftsmen, transported textile machinery, etc., and was busy until noon before it was basically over.

He also had to buy natural alkali, wool and other things, and to build a workshop, no matter how simple it was, he would have to be busy for seven or eight days. Xu Qilin had an estimate in his mind and did not go back to Dayingku, so he went home to have a meal and rest.

Even the meal was missed, Xu Qilin felt that his work spirit was very commendable. But if you think about it carefully, there was really no need.

Nothing can be done in one day. I’m going to give His Majesty Li Er money. Why are you worried? Even if you don’t have to do it yourself, who should the Tang Dynasty hit or who, Gaochang, Gaoli, Xue Yantuo, etc., are also in decline.

When he returned to the mansion, Xu Qilin decided to finish his meal, take a nap, and then do the most important thing, building a canteen for his unit.

Before he got off the horse, Xu Qilin knew that the guests came to the house. Several good horses were well-sad and bribed, tied to the horse piles outside the yard, and there were no vehicles. It can be seen that all the guests came should be male guests.

The servant took the reins of the horse and reported to Xu Qilin that the Prince of Huaihua and the Prince were visiting and had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Xu Qilin smiled and nodded. This is a "car" coming, we are going to change to "Mercedes-Benz"!

However, Li Simo was a prince after all, and he came in person, which surprised Xu Qilin a little.

Xu Qilin quickly walked into the house and headed straight to the hall, and bowed to Li Simo and Li Wuzhong who were waiting there.

"You have met the prince. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please forgive me for your impoliteness."

Li Simo stood up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "I saw Xu Xiaolang yesterday and was still a sixth-rank rank. Today I saw him, I am already a golden belt. Isn't it possible for me to call him?"

Xu Qilin said: "When Your Majesty was promoted, the lower official is now the Chief of the Dayingku, who is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Eunuchs."

This guy is indeed His Majesty's confidant, and he changed his official robe in just one day. It seems that what he said yesterday was not false, or he was rewarded for it.

Li Simo guessed in his heart that he felt that it would be worthwhile to be condescending to his noble character, and maybe he would have gained a lot!
