After hearing Cai Tongzhi's consolation, Lu Tongpuan curled his lips and said nothing more, but his expression still showed dissatisfaction.
Cai Tongzhi couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he saw this.
Lu Tongpan is actually a very talented person.
It's a pity that he is too straightforward and doesn't know how to flatter. Although he is not dull on weekdays, he can't get rid of the sand in his eyes.
Therefore, although he has repeatedly made political achievements, he has never been promoted.
If he hadn't met Chen Xituan, a wise master, he would still be a small county magistrate in Yaquan County, Cangwu Prefecture.
However, you must know that Lu Tongpan was a serious Jinshi at that time!
However, he stayed in a small county official position for more than ten years. The bitterness of it is really only known to himself.
But even so, this straightforward character has not changed.
Cai Tongzhi didn't know whether to call him stupid and stubborn, or simply outspoken.
"There are many people with mixed eyes, so don't talk too much. I'll come back tomorrow." Chen Xituan spoke, and then the two gave up and left together.
The next morning, when the genius was bright, Chen Xituan, Cai Tongzhi and Lu Tongpan got up early, covered with wind and snow, and arrived at the door of the post house where Li Changkong and others were.
The New Year is approaching, and the wind and snow are at their heaviest.
It was quite difficult for them to walk on the road without riding in a carriage.
His cheeks were even red and his whole body was shaking.
He was obviously very cold.
Bang bang bang.
Cai Tongzhi wrapped his coat tightly, stepped forward and knocked on the door of the post house.
"Is Uncle Anbei here?"
No one answered!
After knocking three more times, the door of the post house gradually opened.
Zhen Jian blinked his sleepy eyes, hit him, and said, "What do you guys want to do with General Li?"
Although Zhen Jian was sleepy, he still understood the occasion and never called Li Changkong "young master" in front of outsiders.
"We are Chen Xituan, the magistrate of Jizhou, and his fellow magistrates and magistrates. We are here to discuss the recruitment of troops with Uncle Anbei."
"This matter is of great importance. I told Uncle Anbei yesterday. Uncle Anbei asked me to come to him today."
When Zhen Jian heard this, he immediately understood, but then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Said: "It's very windy and snowy outside, we might as well come in and talk."
Upon hearing this, Cai Tongzhi nodded quickly and got in.
Next came Chen Xituan and Lu Tongpan.
It's not that they are not reserved, but it's really snowy outside!
People are almost frozen, why do they need to show their dignity?
"Why don't the adults come in a chariot?" Zhen Jian was a little confused.
As the year draws to a close, the weather is getting colder and colder.
In Qiandu City, anyone with a certain status and wealth would choose to travel by sedan chair.
It's not a matter of identity or not, it's mainly a matter of being cold.
The three people in front of me were the governors of the same state after all, so why did they end up in such a miserable state with their heads covered with snow.
If Zhen Jian hadn't vaguely met these three people yesterday, he would have really suspected that the Jizhou Zhizhou was pretending to be someone else.
"It's so cold that even the government officials in Zhizhou Prefecture haven't gotten up yet, so why should I bother them." Chen Xituan shook off the snow from his shoulders and said casually.
However, when these words fell into Zhen Jian's ears, they were completely different.
Some of the feudal officials were very strict with the soldiers under their command, and even worse, they didn't treat them as human beings at all.
After all, within a state, the magistrate is the supreme ruler. If the territory is further away, not even the emperor can control it.
Naturally, you can do whatever you want.
However, this one seemed a little different.
Not only did he not ask the government officials, but he would rather they sleep a little longer than come here in the snow.
This action alone made Zhen Jian stand in awe.
But Zhen Jian seemed to have thought of something. He pursed his lips and said, "It's just that the general is busy with business and tired from traveling. He slept for a long time and hasn't woken up yet."
"You guys may have to wait here for a while."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xituan and others looked obviously unhappy.
They wanted to talk last night, but said they were tired and had to wait until this morning.
They came here in the wind and snow this morning, but luckily for this one, he didn't even get up!
What the hell is this!
But after all, he is a Shangguan from Qiandu City, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to hold it in.
So Chen Xituan took a deep breath, forced out a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll wait here for a while."
Hearing this, Zhen Jian nodded, and then raised his voice: "Fan Zhong, serve some hot tea to the adults to warm themselves up."
Hearing this, Fan Zhong nodded, and after a moment, he brought hot tea over.
Chen Xituan and others took the tea and took a sip. The chill on their bodies quickly dissipated like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun.
After a few mouthfuls, the body becomes completely warm.
However, even so, the three of them still didn't look good.
Is it difficult to get up earlier in this weather?
It’s hard to say it’s hard, but it’s not hard to say it’s not.
But people like Zhen Jian and Fan Zhong are up, but you, Li Changkong, are still dozing off.
If this happens on the battlefield and the enemy attacks, the whole army will probably be annihilated, and the commander-in-chief will bear the main responsibility!
The most important thing is that they have clearly made an appointment to discuss the recruitment this morning. Now that they have arrived, Li Changkong is still dozing off.
This is unbelief!
As for people who trust others, Li Changkong's behavior is indeed not very comfortable.
It means that he is a Shangguan from Qiandu City, otherwise Chen Xituan would have ignored him long ago.
In this way, the hot tea in front of the three people changed from cup to cup, and their bodies became hot and then cooled down, and then cooled down and warmed up again.
After repeating this process for an hour and a half, Li Changkong woke up.
As soon as they met, the outspoken Lu Tongpan snorted and said, "Did General Li sleep well? I was here early and have been waiting for you for a full hour and a half."
When Li Changkong heard this, he was a little surprised: "What are you doing here so early? It's such a cold winter month, and we have come all the way from afar. After a long journey, we finally had a good sleep. If you come so early, aren't you disturbing people's sleep?" Dream?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Tongpuan was immediately stunned and speechless.
He had never seen... anyone like this.
It is obvious that he is lethargic, but he is able to force his fault on others.
It’s really... weird!
"Okay, don't talk about minutiae, business matters!" Chen Xituan said, interrupting the angry words that Lu Tongpan was about to say.
He is a Shangguan from Qiandu City, and he is deeply trusted by the current emperor.
If you mess with him, you will only suffer the consequences, and you really can't do it.
"This recruitment matter is of great importance."
"We have already received the imperial order and will fully cooperate with the general."
"Why don't we make a charter now?"
"That's fine..."
However, before Chen Xituan finished speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Li Changkong.
He shook his head and said: "I can make my own judgment on the matter of conscription. I can leave all the power to this uncle. You don't need to interfere."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.
