Chapter 177
: Congratulations
The sixty or seventy people in the courtyard were all injured except for the families of patients with some blood stains. Most of them were moaning before Tan Zong arrived. But because of Tan Zong's hand, the entire Xinglin Pavilion completely changed, which made the military doctor Li Xianglin feel more curious and respectful.
Although Li Xianglin looked inconspicuous and did not have any official positions, he was with his master for a long time and knew very well about the rumors and anecdotes in the army. The five generals at the founding of the country and the Li family army who led the army to fight against the Tubo people a hundred years ago were all widely rumored in the army, and there were many rumors among the people. Among these rumors, the most common ones were these people who were always majestic and loved by the military.
But the scene in front of him was somewhat beyond Li Xianglin's perception. Not to mention Suzhou Prefecture, even Nanjing Prefecture, he had never heard of any general in the garrison who could have such majesty. Just by just such a suppression, everyone could quit their voices. This is a legend.
Even Tan Zong himself did not expect that he just subconsciously raised his hand to press the pressure, which actually brought such an effect.
Tan Zong suddenly felt a little more pressure in his heart. These pressures came inexplicably, but they made his shoulders extremely heavy, as if a lot of burdens and responsibilities were added to his shoulders in an instant.
This pressure made him speechless for a while. The draft that had already been written on the road was completely useless now. He could only stand there quickly, even though his face turned red - this face was greatly disgraced.
When those men saw Tan Zong's appearance, they didn't say anything. Even if they hurt their bodies, they would endure it. They just looked at him with an inexplicable expectation in their eyes.
Xie Yan stood behind Tan Zong and naturally took all this into his eyes.
He always held a bystander attitude towards Tan Zong. Unlike Chen Yang, Chen Yang has almost become Tan Zong's close follower at this moment. Even when King An appointed someone, he specially named Chen Yang to lead the lead. If in the past, Xie Yan, the old man in the guard camp, saw a new man suddenly climbing onto his head, he naturally had to think of some ways to make the new man suffer, which could be regarded as a reminder to these new man and make the new man be honest.
But Chen Yang was different this time. His chance was almost exchanged for him with his life. Although Xie Yan believed that if he had been present, he would have done better than Chen Yang, this was the so-called fate. Therefore, for Chen Yang and Tan Zong, he had less provocative thoughts and more of the bystanders' thoughts.
The most direct manifestation is that he does not work hard along the way. Whether it is the assassination at noon or the life-and-death battle at night, Xie Yan has reservations. It is not that he is completely passive and lazy, but he chooses to protect himself more than protect Tan Zong. The gap seems to be huge, but with Xie Yan's acting skills, naturally people will not experience too much.
Of course, if you fall into the eyes of those who are interested, you can naturally see through it. However, the so-called people who are interested will naturally not expose Xie Yan's ideas. After all, everyone will look up and see him. Except for Chen Yang, who may be left by King An in Tan, basically everyone will go back to the capital, so naturally they cannot offend others easily.
Therefore, when Tan Zong treats Xie Yan, he is not as kind as Chen Yang, and he just maintains his superficial politeness. Xie Yan is naturally not as dedicated as Chen Yang, and he just maintains his superficial respect and obeys the rules of the guards. These are all things that the two of them have tacitly understood in private, and no one will deliberately break them.
But at this moment, Xie Yan had some different senses about Tan Zong in his heart.
The capital is no different from other places, even in the city, there are troops stationed in the city. Outside the city, there are troops stationed in four satellite cities outside the city, and the officials often leave the palace in vain and visit the various military camps.
Therefore, as an old guard, Xie Yan often needs some care. Even if he is not qualified to stand in front of the official family, he is somewhat familiar with him. Therefore, he has some understanding of the troops around the capital.
Although the men in front of him were extremely different from those military men who were carefully selected from thousands of troops, the performance just now suddenly shocked him, because this appearance was clearly like those military men who looked at those famous generals.
Xie Yan half-squinted his eyes, still looking like a regular guard, but his mind kept turning: "Can it be that this sudden boy got the hearts of these people just because of this battle?" Xie Yan looked at the men in front again. Although they looked haggard and ruthless, they were all forced to keep energetic. Even a few men with broken legs supported each other and stood up straight.
"This man..." Xie Yan turned his head slightly, his eyes crossed the space and fell on Tan Zong.
Tan Zong was stunned for a long time, and finally woke up. He hurriedly said, "You are injured, but you should not stand for a long time, and sit down and talk."
After the public sat down one after another, Tan Zong stepped forward one by one to ask about his well-being.
Tan Zong did not say anything about the official illusion or clichés, but basically asked about trivial things. First, Tan Zong was greatly impacted at this moment and could not remember to say those things at all, so he could only pick up the simplest words such as "what is the situation at home" and "but there is a burden". Second, Tan Zong was thinking about the injuries of these people and did not dare to play with the leader's speech.
However, Tan Zong didn't know that his concern for him again made a comparison with his master. Although Tan Zong did not say any promises of benefits, his words often point directly to the hearts of the people.
Not only that, Tan Zong also helped himself, and at the same time instructed some minor injured people who were easy to move to help. Although these minor injured people could not take action directly because they did not know how to do medical skills, it was OK to start fighting, hand over something, wash towels, cut bandages, or help hold the injured people down to prevent struggle. In fact, at the back, the injured people endured the pain themselves, even bite the wooden strips, and there were no need to control them.
Because of Tan Zong's intervention, Xinglin Pavilion changed its appearance. Except for the fact that they were really bad, many people returned home with their families or robes. Therefore, Xinglin Pavilion was no longer crowded, and there was no longer the chaos before. After Tan Zong walked around, most of the seriously injured had been treated, and only a few were still re-disinfected and bandaged the wounds.
When Tan Zong turned out of the screen wall, Xie Yan, who was following Tan Zong, suddenly spoke: "Sir, I'm doing a reckless move this time."
Although Xie Yan is just a guard, he is a person who has been acquainted in the officialdom. He is also clear about some of the rules in the officialdom.
In fact, Tan Zong came to visit him alone, and he felt that Tan Zong was a little reckless. After all, these men were subordinates of Wuxi County, and their immediate superiors were still Lin Qingyun. Therefore, if they wanted to show their love or something, they should let Lin Qingyun do it. Even if Tan Zong wanted to come and visit him, it would be better to say hello to Lin Qingyun, otherwise there would be suspicion of overusing his affairs. If this is not good, Tan Zong's matter will be jealous.
What's more, Tan Zong was not just visiting, but doing more out of the ordinary. In this way, Tan Zong's statement that he was buying people's hearts would be confirmed. In addition, Tan Zong has such a great reputation among these public people, he is afraid that if he is not good enough, he will cause trouble in Wuxi County, which is already turbulent.
Although Lin Qingyun will inevitably be criticized for a few words, Tan Zong, an outsider who randomly breaks the rules of the officialdom, will probably be even more impeached. Although the guerrilla position in the Supervision Office is powerful, it is easy to offend people. But if you offend people because of such a thing, it would be a bit unwise.
Therefore, Xie Yan, who was slightly moved by Tan Zong's behavior, would be reminded of birth.
Tan Zong was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Xie Yan to say such things to him. But since Xie Yan took the initiative to show kindness to him, Tan Zong would not be stupid enough to continue playing tricks of not making any mistakes with these veteran guards. Therefore, he put down his airs and whispered: "I know I'm reckless, but after all, I'm living and dying with everyone. If I'm going to ignore me in the inn and just sleeping with my head covering, I can't do it. So, this incident is considered as if I'm asking for peace of mind, even if I'm jealous of others, I can't take care of so much."
After saying that, Tan Zong left Xinglin Pavilion by himself.
Xie Yan was stunned by Tan Zong's words, and then he realized that Tan Zong had already understood this truth. But when he saw Tan Zong walk out first, he hurriedly chased after him, but stopped talking.
Tan Zong actually regretted his recklessness at this time, but since he had done this, it would be useless to regret it any more. Besides, if he showed his expressions like regret on his face at this time, it would be of no use, but it would easily dissipate all the hearts of these Wuxi County officials.
You know, Min Zhifu, the governor of Suzhou, has been robbed. Although the garrison of Suzhou Prefecture will lead the army to search and rescue, if he really wants to rescue people, it is not enough to rely on these garrisons alone. He also needs the help of these local officials in Wuxi. Therefore, he came to do this despite Lin Qingyun's feelings - this statement cannot be said to Lin Qingyun, otherwise there will be suspicion of inciting Lin Qingyun, the county magistrate of Wuxi, so he can only do it alone.
