Chapter 268: The new leader of the Inner Guard, Zhao Hai, was robbed and killed
At midnight, Lu Dayou came to the Liang County government office with a man in black.
The man in black saluted towards Li Cunxi, and then said respectfully:
"The newly promoted leader of the Inner Guard, Zhao Hai, pays his respects to Li Shaoyin."
As the emperor's minion, the Internal Guard lost two cabinet leaders and a flying dragon envoy in the Bleeding Eagle case, so they must recruit more personnel and promote a few cabinet leaders.
However, Li Cunxi originally thought that Xiao Qingfang would let Mo Ling or Yingzi climb to the position of leader, but he didn't expect that in the end he would promote a newcomer he didn't know.
Li Cunxi really had no impression of this Zhao Hai.
"Zhao Geling, who sent you?"
"I have followed the orders of the Grand Councilor and have come to contact the Junior Inspector. I will be responsible for carrying out all of the Junior Inspector's orders during this inspection tour."
"You do what I tell you to do, right?"
"Yes, Shao Yin!"
"I have a letter here. You must send it to the Prince of Xiang's mansion in Luoyang and give it to the Prince of Xiang." Li Cunxi first took out a letter and handed it to Zhao Hai.
"Yes, Li Shaoyin! I'll go right away!" Zhao Hai put away the letter and prepared to leave with a serious face.
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet, Lord Zhao, I have another letter here. After you hand over the previous letter to the Prince of Xiang, you will immediately go to the palace to meet His Majesty and hand over this letter to His Majesty."
Li Cunxi took out another letter and handed it to Zhao Hai.
He knew that the Imperial Guard was definitely still under the control of Wu Zetian, and that he would not be able to hide the letter he wrote to Li Dan from Wu Zetian. In that case, he would send a copy to both of them.
Even if Zhao Hai complained to Wu Zetian, he would not have any chance.
"Remember, both letters must be delivered within one day. I don't need a reply from the Prince of Xiang unless he takes the initiative to ask for it."
Li Cunxi gave his instructions again before letting Zhao Hai ride away.
Li Cunxi sat down leisurely after Zhao Hai left. Lu Dayou sat on the other side holding a book, reading by the light of an oil lamp.
"Dayou, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. You have to walk more with us."
Seeing Lu Dayou working so hard, Li Cunxi had no choice but to persuade him.
During the ten days in Liang County, Lu Dayou spent most of his time in the inn reading books and never went out to play with them.
The phrase "thirsty for knowledge" is no longer quite suitable to describe the other person. What can really describe Lu Dayou now is that he is like a madman, with a natural thirst for knowledge.
"Cunxi, I want to be with you guys, but I'm uneducated."
Lu Dayou put down the book and sighed deeply.
"Last year, I followed your advice and brought Xiaofeng to Chang'an. I saw this prosperous capital city, which was so beautiful. But I had no education and I couldn't even read. It was you who taught me how to read and write and gave me knowledge."
"But the more I read these books, the more I feel that I am insignificant and a useless person. The more books I read, the more I can feel the distance between us. I want to shorten the distance."
Li Cunxi touched his chin and focused his eyes on the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine in Lu Dayou's hand.
"So, in order to narrow the gap between us, you chose to read the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, which even I can't understand?"
"Cunxi, you are so modest. How could you not understand the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine? Sometimes I also think this book is really difficult, but after reading it over and over again, I think this book is also very good."
"six."
Li Cunxi was unable to refute. How could he not know whether he could understand this book or not?
He has almost maxed out his intelligence points, but he still cannot understand the true meaning of the book. Without a qualified teacher, his intelligence is useless.
"Dayou, this officialdom is in conflict with the officialdom you imagined. No matter how much you read, it will be of no use if you don't experience it yourself."
"You missed out on some valuable experiences this evening, but we will have new ones soon."
"If you want to be an official, studying alone is definitely not enough."
Li Cunxi persuaded patiently.
"Even if you read a lot of Thousand Character Classic and Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, you will never understand the true mystery of officialdom. But once you get involved, you may find that the knowledge in the books may have other explanations."
Li Cunxi took out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" from the bag beside him and handed it to Lu Dayou.
"Look at this. If you read it carefully, it may be of great help to you."
Lu Dayou wiped his hands on his clothes twice, then took the Analects with both hands, holding the book in his hands as if it were a treasure, staring at the simple cover without blinking.
"This was copied by a famous calligrapher during the reign of Emperor Taizong. You can take a look at it. You can also practice your handwriting by following the font above. I remember that your handwriting seems to be quite bad, even worse than my dog-crawling handwriting."
"I wrote too little before. Although I practiced at your house, I didn't practice enough after all."
"Well, we will be staying in Liang County for a few days. You can practice calligraphy on the paper from the county government."
"it is good."
"You will not be back until the end of the year on this southern tour. If you have gained enough experience, I will recommend you to be a county magistrate." Li Cunxi walked around the room. "You just left Luozhou and encountered such a corrupt official in Ruzhou. I'm afraid there will be more in the future. If you practice hard, it will only be a matter of time before you become an official."
"Thank you very much, Cunxi." Hope rose in Lu Dayou's eyes.
A small family in the mountains got on board a big truck because of a case. Isn't this just taking off?
The promise Li Cunxi made was to make him a county magistrate. Didn't you see that Zeng Tai in the Huzhou case was a top scholar at that time, but he was just a county magistrate.
It can only be said that having someone in the court is indeed a great thing. Lu Dayou was extremely excited and decided to study this "The Analects of Confucius" carefully.
On the other side, Zhao Hai, who had already left Liang County, was stopped by a horse in the suburbs outside Liang County. The heroic woman sitting on the horse swung the soft whip, and the smile on her face was cold and dazzling.
"Are you from the Inner Guard?" the woman asked coldly.
"Who are you? Since you know I'm from the Inner Guard Bureau, how dare you come out to intercept me?" Zhao Hai drew his sword and cautiously urged his horse to retreat.
"It's none of your business who I am, but since you are from the Inner Guards, I will kill you tonight."
The woman swung the soft whip, and the whip wrapped around Zhao Hai's neck.
Zhao Hai frowned, knowing that he had met a master, and immediately hid in the stirrup, hanging on the side of the horse, avoiding the whip.
The woman didn't waste any words. She urged her horse forward and swung the soft whip in her hand again, hitting Zhao Hai in the face.
Zhao Hai hurriedly mounted his horse and urged it to turn around and flee.
One was running in front, and the other was chasing behind. The distance between the two horses was sometimes close and sometimes far, and Zhao Hai became more and more anxious.
The woman yelled, "Xiao Za, don't run!"
