Chapter 292 Be careful on the road
After lunch, Li Rizhi went to the East Palace. The Yulin Army guarding the palace gate knew that he was popular in front of Li Hong, so of course he would not make any trouble. He immediately sent someone in to report. In just a moment, a small eunuch came out and led Li Ri into the East Palace.
Li Hong was sitting in the hall studying, looking very tired. He asked with a smile: "My junior brother is here today. Do you want to accompany the orphan to go on a private visit?"
Li Rizhi smiled and said, "That's what you mean!"
Li Hong shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid I can't do it. Yesterday, I told my masters about this matter. They all opposed it. It was too dangerous to say that it was too dangerous to be in the market in the white dragon fish suit. I also said something like a gentleman who did not go to danger. I didn't know before that the market in Chang'an was so dangerous, like a dragon's nest!"
His expression was helpless on his face. As the prince, he had no freedom, so he was bored.
Li Rizhi hurriedly comforted him: "I am about to go east. If you have any fun things on the road, I will write them in a letter to you. I will send them to you. In this way, your highness will know the interesting news in the world if you don't leave the palace!"
Li Hong sighed and nodded. The emperor and Empress Wu went to Mount Tai to Fengshan. As the prince, he wanted to stay in Chang'an. How do the people live in the people can only wait for Li Rizhi to write to him.
Li Hongdao: "Junior brother, you are the eyes of the orphans. Let's go to the people for you to see!"
This is a great trust in Li Rizhi. Li Rizhi nodded quickly and agreed. He can now be said to be the most iron-hard princeling!
"By the way, junior brother, do you know what you are going east this time?"
Li Rizhi felt nervous. Could it be that the real task was different from what he thought? He remembered what Tong Guinu said to him, and asked if he didn't understand. Don't be smart and imagine it out of thin air. This is probably a reminder!
He hurriedly said, "I'm not very clear yet, please ask your highness to teach me!"
Li Hongdao: "I went to my mother's place yesterday and asked. The temporary dispatch of the supervisory commander was actually thought of by the mother, not to ask you to really investigate the case..."
"Didn't you let me do something?"
"Absolutely not, but rather, there is nothing to do in the local area! Alas, why do you use this word? It's really awkward!"
"Hometown dialect!"
Li Hong nodded and said, "My mother is very much looking forward to this Fengshan ceremony and does not want to make any mistakes. Do you think if the guard of honor is walking on the road and someone suddenly blocks the road and calls for justice, isn't that causing trouble for Mother mother? There are still people in the world who shout for justice and have not shared peace, so how can you be embarrassed to pray to God!"
Only then did Li Rizhi realize that he murmured: "Share peace, share peace, the little princess's title is what it means!"
"So, my mother has sent someone to hint to local officials in various places. They are not allowed to cause trouble. Whoever causes trouble will destroy anyone. On the way to the guard of honor, we must sing and dance everywhere, and we cannot have any injustice. You just go to supervise and see if the local officials have done such a thing!"
Li Rizhiwei felt disappointed. So that's it. Anyway, it's either sharing peace or embellishing peace. In short, it's about peace in the world, so that we can pray for blessings to God!
Well, that Shangfang Sword is actually a token, a token that allows local officials to cooperate honestly, just as Tong Guinu said, it was not really for him to stab someone with a sword!
Li Hong told him about Empress Wu's preferences, which made Li Rizhi leave and leave the Eastern Palace. Li Rizhi went to visit Xu Jingzong again. After all, the supervisory envoy was appointed in the Secretariat.
When Xu Jingzong heard that Li Ri knew that he was going east to Henan Road, he couldn't help but touch his beard and said, "I knew that the young man had a early departure, but I remembered that when I was young, I entered the official career as early as you were, and was full of energy. However, the second generation of the Sui Dynasty died, so I was unable to ascend to a high position as early as you."
Li Rizhi hurriedly said: "It's just a supervisor, and it's not promoted to the level of official position, but it's still from the seventh rank."
Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "The level is easy to say. The key is whether you can take charge of the government. First, be the county magistrate, then be the governor, then enter the capital and the three provinces and six ministries, first become the auxiliary official, and then be the minister. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you can become the minister of the Shang Dynasty even if you have some achievements. If you have some achievements, then according to me, you can take the position of the Zhongshu Ling in less than fifty years. You are really promising young people!"
Li Rizhi nodded repeatedly. Regarding the position of Zhongshuling, he was young and strong at the age of fifty. However, when Empress Wu looked like a very fond of young people, he might not have to end up with fifty years old and could sit at the position of Zhongshuling, for example, forty-nine years old...
Xu Jingzong did not make any substantial suggestions, but just drew a big cake to let Li Rizhi do the trick. However, before leaving, he issued a handwritten order to Li Rizhi as his supervisory envoy, which was a certificate for the Secretariat officials.
After leaving the Secretariat, Li Rizhi went to the Ministry of Works to pay homage to Yan Liben. Yan Liben heard his adventures during this period, especially when he delivered Empress Wu, and he couldn't help but sigh that Li Rizhi had such a good relationship with the royal family, and his future career would be smooth. There is no doubt about this.
Finally, Yan Liben said: "I know, I think you should try your best to get the opportunity to take charge of the country. Become a county magistrate in a county far away from Chang'an but very important. I think Bocheng County is good. This is the county closest to Mount Tai. After this Fengshan Ceremony, this county will be renamed Qianfeng County, and the year name will also be changed to Qianfeng. This county was rebuilt by the Ministry of Works and is considered a new city. So if you can get the position of a county magistrate in this county, it will be of great benefit to you. I will help you at that time!"
Bocheng County was changed to Qianfeng County after the Fengshan Ceremony. However, two years later, when the reign of Qianfeng was no longer used, the name was changed. As time went by, the location of the county town also changed, so it was not modern Tai'an, but the general direction was not too different.
After Li Ri thanked him, he returned to the Chen family. Everyone started to clean up. Two days later, he set out to the east for Henan Road. The administrative divisions of the Tang Dynasty were not divided by provinces, but by "dao". For example, the modern Shandong area is called Henan Road, as well as Hedong Road, Gyeonggi Road, etc.
Before leaving Gyeonggi Province, the road was quite safe, and the security of the prefectures and counties passed by was so good that it was so far away. People were living and working in peace and contentment everywhere. The government had great efforts to rectify local public security. No matter whether it was a whitewashing or something else, on the surface, the local officials in the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi Province did a great job, which was to please Queen Wu, but this was not embarrassing. If they dare not please Queen Wu, they would be dismissed and lost their posts at that time, that would be embarrassing!
After leaving Gyeonggi Province, Li Rizhi couldn't find anything. If this was the case all the way, it would be quite good. It would have become a trip to travel around the country. However, if nothing could be found, Li Rizhi had no contribution.
It took only one day on the road, and finally entered Henan Road, but Henan Road was not peaceful. The folk customs here have been fierce since ancient times, and many places have been in danger, such as mountains and waters, which are good places to hide dirt and dirt. Although the government has tried its best to fight for the expedition and suppression, the results are not great. In addition to maintaining peace on the official road, as long as it is more than fifty miles away from the city, the chance of encountering thieves will basically increase exponentially!
Li Rizhi and his group walked on the official road. They were all riding tall horses and brought two carriages. The carriages could carry luggage and rest. You could tell at a glance that they were traveling with wealthy families. The robbers liked such rich people the most and called them fat sheep. If the rich are not old, they would be called Little Fat Sheep!
The sound of horse hooves behind him, Li Rizhi looked back and saw a strong mule running from behind. The mule was very tall and ran quickly. The rider immediately spoke a local accent and shouted, "Borrow light and borrow light. My mule was frightened. I don't care if I hit someone!"
Everyone gave in to the side of the road. Li Rizhi looked at the rider and saw that the man was big and thick, with a fierce face, holding a whip in his hand, and was whipping the mule hard.
Li Rizhi shouted: "You are so shocked by your thrust. You just need not to thrust it!"
The rider approached and laughed, and stopped beating the mule. The mule immediately slowed down and stopped running wildly. The rider smiled and said, "It's really like this. It doesn't run around anymore! OK, this means that we are destined to be together, so how about we might as well walk together?"
Li Rizhi shook his head and said, "This stranger, you are joking. I am a man and you are not a woman. How can we be destined to be? Let's go our separate ways!"
This rider came strangely, and there was no village or shop in front of the village or behind. Li Rizhi dared not walk with him. If this person had bad intentions, wouldn't that be bad? It would be better to be more careful when you go out!
The rider was not angry either, and laughed again, saying, "Smart and cautious, but it's useless. Be careful on the way!"
He sucked the mule hard again, and the mule ran wildly again.
