Chapter 170 Decided to return to Beijing
After the Gan County Magistrate finished speaking, the room was silent.
Everyone present is smart, so how can’t I hear that the Gan County Magistrate didn’t ask whether Zhang Xuanqing would return to the capital or not, and asked him directly when he would leave:
The Gan County Magistrate said so much before, but it was nothing more than analyzing the pros and cons. It was obvious that Zhang Xuanqing would not go, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
As we all know, Taoist priests are best at seeking good fortune and avoiding disasters. Therefore, in the heart of Gan County Magistrate, he said so much that he could completely impress Zhang Xuanqing and let Zhang Xuanqing return to the capital.
But is this really the case?
Zhang Xuanqing laughed strangely, how could he not see it? The reason why Gan County Magistrate tried so hard to persuade him must have a purpose. Just as he was about to say that you don’t have to work hard, Dao really didn’t plan to go back. But suddenly his heart moved, and he changed his words to his lips, even changed his people, and said to Sun Simiao: “What do you think? Brother Yuan and Shenwei are both in the capital. I haven’t been together for a long time. Why don’t you go and have a look?”
Sun Simiao's brows were still frowning, but his words were loose: "It is good to be able to gather with Brother Yuan and talk about the mysterious Taoism together. But Brother Dao, are you really planning to take the Tao test? No... Do you really think that I Taoist people need to take the exam?"
Zhang Xuanqing smiled and said, "I know what Brother Tao means. Indeed, a true master of Taoism cannot be determined by a single test paper. Not only that, even the exam is an insult to them. But Brother Taoism has thought that not all Taoists are Taoists. Throughout history, countless people have committed many evil deeds to escape from the government. I am afraid that this is not for them. In fact, our Taoist sect is still good, and I am afraid that the group of people who are most worried about now is still the ones.
Monks. After all, the theory of reincarnation, cause and effect, and form, and form, and emptiness, are the form, are the easiest to excrete prisoners. Just like the Supreme Emperor who has rectified the two Buddhist teachings of Buddhism and Taoism a few years ago, I chose one in a thousand people who fail the Buddhist teachings; and those who fail the Buddhist teachings will be selected by one in a hundred people. The difference is nearly ten times. I want to see how many monks can stay in this Buddhist teachings after the Taoism test. Tsk tsk, brother Taoism isn’t interested in going with me to see the fun?"
"Uh..." Sun Simiao looked strange. Is it really good to be so gloating?
Liu Shenwei was interested, and he winked and said, "Uncle Master is a good suggestion, Master, just agree. And I miss Uncle Yuan, and Li Chunfeng's silly oil bottle. I heard that he has become an official?"
"Haha, with the abilities of Master Sun and Master Liu, if you enter Beijing, Your Majesty may be able to give you an official position. At least in the Imperial Physician Office, there should be a place for two people!" The Gan County Magistrate heard this and immediately struck while the iron was hot.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than tempting them for profit, moving them with emotion, explaining them with reason, and threatening them with power... Although the Gan County Magistrate is not old this year, these are so skillful.
But unfortunately, he used the wrong person. Sun Simiao hated being an official the most in his life. He said coldly when he heard this: "Thank you for your good words from the magistrate of Gan County, but I have never thought about going there!"
Liu Shenwei knew his master's intentions. In fact, since Li Yuan's time, he had ordered an edict to Sun Simiao to join the Imperial Physician Office. When he arrived at Li Shimin, Sun Simiao became more famous and sent someone to invite him, but they were rejected by Sun Simiao.
Because Sun Simiao once said that his medical skills saved the people of the world, not just a small group of dignitaries. If he joined the Imperial Medical Office, he would definitely only serve the royal family and ministers, which was never what Sun Simiao wanted.
So, seeing that the master made the Gan County Magistrate unable to come to Taiwan, Liu Shenwei hurriedly smoothed out and said, "Gan County Magistrate, actually my master means..."
Facts have proved that people will grow up. In the past, the boy who only knew how to make trouble was unreliable. At this time, he also knew how to make a move for his master. He had to say that the power of time is really huge.
Zhang Xuanqing felt emotion when he watched from the side. When Liu Shenwei finished speaking, he also said, "Mr. Gan County is not necessary to be careless. Brother Sun Dao is not offensive, it is just..." Jili Guru said a little. After Gan County Magistrate's expression calmed down, he immediately changed the subject and asked Sun Simiao again, "What is the decision of Brother Dao? It is rare that the magistrate of Gan County will come here in person. We can also go back to Beijing to see Brother Yuan."
Then Sun Simiao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Well, your arm can't twist your thighs, and we have indeed not seen each other with Brother Yuan for a long time."
"Haha! OK! OK! The official will send someone to prepare a carriage. In a few days, he will send the real people to Beijing!" The Gan County Magistrate clapped his hands and laughed, and there was no such thing as any previous disagreement. After making an appointment with Zhang Xuanqing and the other two, he left happily.
As Zhang Xuanqing had guessed before, the purpose of Gan County Magistrate came this time was not simple. Or in other words, it was not selfish, but a task. As for Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei, it can be said that they were just a persuasion.
The reason was that Li Shimin sent people to search for Zhang Xuanqing everywhere, but he couldn't find it. Although Li Shimin only sent a few teams and did not go to Yang Yang, he did not order to keep it deliberately. Therefore, there are countless people in the world who know this, especially in the officialdom, which almost everyone knows.
In fact, there is another thing that Gan County Magistrate deliberately vague. Regarding Li Shimin's order against Zhang Xuanqing, he only mentioned that Zhang Xuanqing would go back to be an examiner, but made it clear that Zhang Xuanqing was in which county, and the county magistrate must persuade him to return to Beijing.
When the Gan County Magistrate was just receiving this news, he was both happy and surprised. He was so happy that Zhang Xuanqing was in the county town under his rule. As long as he could fool Zhang Xuanqing back, it would be a great achievement. In the future, promotion would never be a problem. The question was how much it could be promoted. What was shocking was that if the persuasion could not be successful, it would be a merit and a promotion would become a decline. Although everyone in the world knew that Your Majesty is kind now and might not be imprisoned, he might not have the chance to be promoted in his life.
Now that Zhang Xuanqing agreed to return to Beijing, everyone was naturally happy. Compared with the happy county magistrate of Gan County, Li Shimin felt a little unsure at this time.
"Guanyin Bi, do you think Zhenren Zhang can come back?" In the Tai Chi Palace, the back garden, Li Shimin and Changsun Wugui sat in a pavilion, with the former showing a look of trepidation.
It can be seen that Li Shimin is really concerned about Zhang Xuanqing, and there is another point, that is, Li Shimin is really relieved of Changsun Wugui, otherwise no matter how concerned about Zhang Xuanqing, he will not reveal it to a person who is worried about him.
Changsun Wugui also knew this. Since Li Shimin became the emperor, he has expressed his true emotions to others? Somewhere in his heart was touched and he comforted softly: "Don't worry, your Majesty, Zhang Zhenren has great magical powers. If you feel your feelings, you will definitely come."
