Late Tang

According to the Tang system, Dengzhou has more than [-] households, and it is Shangzhou.The governor of Dengzhou is the governor of Shangzhou, and his official position is from the third rank.This rank is much higher than the fourth rank of the governor of Zhongzhou, and the fourth rank of the sixth minister of the capital.From the third rank, this is the rank of Shangguan, you can wear purple and wear a goldfish bag.

Cui Yunqing, the current governor of Dengzhou, was born in the Cui family of Qinghe.Dr. Chaosan and Zhu Guo have successively served as governors of Huang, Yue, Cao, and Pei. They have been in Xiantong for 14 years, and they have just been transferred to Dengzhou governor this year.A descendant of the Qinghe Cui family, a family member of Gaomen in Shandong, who was born as a Jinshi.The ups and downs of the officialdom all his life can be described as a veteran in the officialdom.

He has only been in Dengzhou for only half a year, and he has not sorted out the ups and downs, and feels restrained everywhere.The paper report from Wang Zhong and others made his eyes light up and he thought of a good plan.

Cui Yunqing saw Li Jing and the others at the front from a distance, and sized them up carefully.But with a seasoned vision, he discovered that he was worried that Li Jing and the others were just a group of muddy legs who had just washed their feet and landed on the shore, and they were afraid of frightening them by making such a big scene.But looking at it now, not only did these guys not look tense and restrained, but they seemed to enjoy the scene in front of them very much, and they couldn't help but nodded slightly in their hearts. .

Cui Yunqing immediately bowed to Wang Zhong, Li Jing and the others: "Our Dengzhou Unity Camp warriors came back victorious, but it was too late for me to greet you!"

Seeing that the governor was so polite, how could Li Jing and others dare to sit on the horse to receive the ceremony, and quickly rolled off the horse.Although Li Jing and the others don't know much about gifts, they are not in a panic at this time, anyway, Wang Zhong and Zhang Hong can learn from each other.

Immediately after Wang Zhong and Zhang Hong got off their horses, they bowed on one knee, which is the highest etiquette in the army.Li Jing immediately winked at Xiao Shitou and the others, and they all followed suit.Wang Zhong and Li Jing are all united soldiers, while Cui Yunqing, as the governor, is also the training envoy of the Dengzhou regiment.It can be said that Cui Yunqing is the highest direct boss of Li Jing and others, and they will hang out with Cui Yunqing in the future. If they don't worship the boss right now, when will they wait.

"We are all under Cui Shijun's account, and it is our duty to fight the enemy bravely. We encountered pirates on the road, but fortunately, we survived and came back victorious. In the battle of Chishan, we wiped out all the thieves in Xihuozhai, the thief's head monkey Cheeks and scars were also chopped off by low-level knives. However, after winning, they suddenly encountered more than a hundred pirates from the "Zhendonghai" tribe. We fought against them, and we were outnumbered. In the end, we had to fight out the encirclement One person died in the battle, and seven were injured. I am ashamed of not being able to bring back the leader of the bandit in Xihuo Village, and I ask Cui Junjun to punish me!" It was Li Jing who answered, and it was Li Jing's turn to answer like this. Wang Zhong or Zhang Hong should answer.However, the two of them got the advantage of Li Jing's great advantage, so they also thought of Li Jing wholeheartedly. Like the expected reply this time, the two of them gave Li Jing the opportunity to deepen his impression in Shangguan's heart.

Sure enough, Li Jing's reply was impeccable and polite.It not only told the truth of the matter, but also highlighted their bravery in fighting, and also shirked the irresistibility of responsibility.And inside and outside the words, he also showed respect and compliments for Cui Yunqing everywhere.

These words really worked, Cui Yunqing raised her eyelids in surprise, and took a few careful glances at Li Jing.He saw the two flags behind Li Jing, and said with a smile: "This warrior must be the sharp archer Li Guangyong Saburo Li Jiyu. I know you. In the battle of Chishan, you turned the tide. You shot and killed four thieves by yourself. It is said that in the final encounter with Zhen Donghai, you were able to cover everyone's success in breaking through thanks to your brilliant shots, right?"

Li Jing replied cautiously: "My lord, the prize. In fact, although the humble man is good at riding and shooting, he dare not say that he is good at shooting. This time, he was able to win by chance. It is all thanks to Wang Xiaowei's bravery and courage to fight, his command is good, and Zhang At the time of Guan Jian, the assistant officer gave advice, stabilized the morale of the army, and fought hard with other united soldiers. What the humble did was actually very ordinary. Even though he killed several thieves, he was actually helped by the help of his brothers."

"Assists?"

Li Jing's expression froze, and he explained with a smile: "Although the bandit died at the hands of the humble, in fact, it was due to the containment and assistance of other brothers. So, speaking of truth, the humble dare not take full credit!"

Cui Yunqing stroked her beard and nodded, and her impression of Li Jing increased by another level.He also saw that Li Jing was young, but he had an extraordinary appearance. What was even more rare was that he not only shot a good arrow, but also spoke with such a sense of proportion.In front of a third-rank official like him, Li Jing, a native countryman, was not even a little timid.It is even more rare to speak clearly and clearly, without the slightest hint of greed.

"My official sees you talking and talking, you don't look like ordinary country people. You have read books, are you a child of an official family?"

Hearing Cui Yunqing's question, Li Jing was also a little surprised.Cui Yunqing came to greet them in person, obviously acting as a show.It's a show, say a few nice words on the scene and it should be over.But why did Cui Yunqing ask more and more topics? Could it be that he valued him with just a few words and developed a love for talents?

"Returning to Cui Shijun's words, I have indeed read books since I was a child. I have read "The Analects", "Mencius", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Warring States Policy", "Wu Zi", "Sima Fa", "Wei Liao Zi", "Six Secret Teachings", "Three Strategies", "Li Weigong Questions and Answers", "Tao Te Ching" and other books I have read a lot of classics, histories, and sub-collections, but I am humble and stupid. I know it in many places but I don’t know why. It makes you laugh when you talk about it.”

"Oh, since you have been studying since you were young, why did you acquire such good martial arts?" Cui Yunqing was a little surprised to hear that Li Jing had not only read books, but could name so many books.

"Humble fortune. When I was seven years old, my father was killed in Qiu Fu's rebellion when he was a county recorder in Tancheng. Since then, he was raised by his widowed mother. At the age of 16, the eldest brother, who was only 21 years old, was given to Xuzhou four years ago. He was killed by Pang Xun’s rebel army while delivering grain and grass. A few months ago, the youngest brother and Beixia were helping neighbors in the same village to collect seaweed by the sea. The elder brother passed away, and Bei Xia had just obtained the qualifications of the village tribute and was preparing to enter the imperial examination in Beijing. Later, he stayed at home with his second brother to support the family business. He usually farmed the land, practiced martial arts with his elder brother, and went hunting in the mountains in his free time. Country people are naturally strong. , and my ancestors have been in the Pinglu Military Academy for generations, so I have practiced martial arts."

Regarding these words, Li Jing thought about it for a long time before she finally figured out what to say.The opportunity is rare, Cui Yunqing is not only the governor of Yizhou, but also the regiment training envoy.If he can really win his favor, as long as Cui Yunqing says a word, then Li Jing can save ten or twenty years of struggle.

Opportunities are rare, although this is unavoidably speculative, Li Jing came from later generations after all, and he knows that opportunities are seized by himself, so letting the opportunity miss like that is what makes him regret the most.But how to recommend yourself in front of Cui Yunqing, you must not only show your abilities and advantages, but also speak decently, and don't leave the impression that the other party can't wait.

Li Jing knew that Cui Yunqing was a Jinshi, so he deliberately told him that he had studied and obtained the imperial examination qualification as a tribute status, in order to impress him from the aspect of being a scholar at the same time.Speaking of his miserable family background, it is a bit of sympathy.In the last sentence, he gently mentioned that Li Jiazu was from the Pinglu Military Academy. This is because he knew that the children of a noble family like Cui Yunqing looked down on ordinary people, so he mentioned Li Jiazu's status as an official.

Sure enough, Cui Yunqing originally only knew that Li Jing was a rural farmer who should be employed, but when she saw Li Jing himself, she thought he was a good person.Hearing him talk about his identity again, the government couldn't help feeling very fond of Li Jing.

If you have read books and obtained the status of tribute to the township, then you have read books well.His father used to be a county official, and his ancestors were all members of the Pinglu Military Academy for several generations, so the ancestors can be regarded as the family of officials.Li Jing has been educated, is quite talented, and has extraordinary martial arts skills. He is capable of both literary and martial arts. He is really a good young man.

"Well, you have made great achievements this time. I wonder if you have any thoughts or expectations? Is it fame, money, or land?"

"Return to Shijun Cui, the Li family has served the imperial court for generations, I don't seek fame, wealth or land, but I ask Shijun Liu to give me a chance, a chance to serve Your Majesty, the court, and Shijun Liu!"

When Cui Yunqing asked what Li Jing wanted, she kept paying attention to him, observing the expression on his face, and observing his eyes.

He clearly saw that Li Jing's eyes were clear and firm when he answered, and his tone was calm and decisive.This is not a lie, he really thinks so.Cui Yunqing felt that she had spotted her target, and when she saw Li Jing clearly, a cocked smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth!
