Chapter 803: People Must Have a Bottom Line (17)
Li Xun was not in a hurry to enter the palace, because it was almost noon, at this time, the emperor Zhao Xun may be having dinner, and it is also disturbing to go, and the affairs of Hezhou and Zhezhou are not big, but they are not small, since Li Xun has chosen to go straight to the emperor, he has to think about what to say, it is impossible to meet the emperor, and the matter will be over as soon as he talks about it, which is not only too low, but also too superficial.
When he got home, You Min saw Li Xun and called him to eat, but Li Xun was not hungry, so he didn't go to the living room, but to the study.
"Lord, you're back."
Sima Tu was reading a book in the study when he saw Li Xun coming, so he got up and saluted.
Li Xun waved his hand, signaling him not to be polite, and then found a place to sit down.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"I have a bad problem, when I am studying, I don't notice what is going on outside the window."
Li Xun asked, "You've been in the study all day lately, aren't you bored?" ”
Sima Tu said: "It's rare to have leisure recently, and it's good to read, so the lord doesn't have to worry about me." ”
Sima Tu has suffered in Momeng for 20 years, physically and mentally devastated, so his health is not very good, he has been in poor health during this time, and has been recuperating at home, and has improved in the past two days, so he often comes to Li Xun's mansion to read books in the study, or chat with Li Xun.
Li Xun said softly: "Ziwen, come out and be an official." ”
Sima Tu was slightly surprised: "Why did the lord suddenly say such a thing? ”
Li Xun said silently: "I know the ambition in your heart, stay by my side, you will never be famous." ”
Sima Tu is a very meritorious person, he wants to be an official, and he is a big official, to wash away the dirt on his body with fame and fortune, because of the moral standards in the hearts of scholars, soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, Sima Tu has been in the desert for 20 years, driven and enslaved by the Hu people, he should have died a long time ago, and he has survived until now, perhaps for himself, it is an extremely difficult thing, but for others, he will eventually be discriminated against and disdainful.
The reason why Sima Tu didn't remember that he followed Li Xun was just a staff member, in the final analysis, it was to repay his kindness, and Li Xun saved him between life and death several times because of righteousness.
Sima Tu did not answer Li Xun directly, but said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the Xiangguo, the lord is now the Xiangguo, I am your staff, how can I be better than the gatekeeper, and I should be able to count the fifth-grade official." ”
Faced with Sima Tu's sudden joke, Li Xun was slightly stunned, and then said: "As the saying goes, little ghosts are difficult. ”
After saying that, Li Xun laughed to himself.
Sima Tu picked up the teacup and teapot, walked up to Li Xun, poured him tea, and asked softly: "Lord, Mr. Fan is also unofficial now, but he is willing to follow you, why is this?" ”
Li Xun glanced at Sima Tu and said softly: "Mr. Fan's ambition is not to be an official. ”
Sima Tu bowed to Li Xun and said, "Mr. Fan has this ambition, and so does I, Sima Tu, if it is just for fame and fortune, I will not follow you." ”
Li Xun was silent, picked up the teacup and drank water silently.
Fan Zhongyun once told Li Xun that no one in the world would not like money and fame, but some people have their own ideals and ambitions, if they forget their ideals and ambitions just for money and fame, then this person is just an empty shell with a gorgeous appearance.
Li Xun sometimes thinks that if Zhao Xun is willing to trust him with national politics, what choice will someone like Fan Zhongyun make? It should be to go to the soup and go to the fire, so he will not give up, because someone has given him a stage to display his ideals and ambitions, what else is he hesitating about?
The reason why Fan Zhongyun was tired of officialdom and once planned to retreat to the mountains and forests may be because he couldn't see hope and was discouraged in the center of despair.
There may not be many people like Fan Zhongyun in the world.
Now, Fan Zhongyun and Sima Tu follow themselves regardless of gains and losses, working hard and complaining, perhaps out of retribution, after all, they are kind and righteous to them, but this is definitely not all, or do they see hope in themselves, and something else?
Li Xun did not continue on this topic, some things were too much, it would be too out-of-the-box, Sima Tu was able to say this, he had already expressed his attitude and heart, and this was enough.
After being silent for a while, Li Xun put down the teacup and sighed lightly: "Ziwen, I've been in a depressed mood recently, and I'm almost out of breath because of the pressure on government affairs." ”
Sima Tu said softly: "The lord has too little experience, although he is a minister, he is still powerless after all. ”
Li Xun smiled and said: "Needless to say, it is so tactful, I myself feel that I am the prime minister, it is not like that at all, I am not qualified enough." ”
Sima Tu said with a smile: "The lord can't say that, during the Wuzong period, Liu Wenxu worshiped the prime minister at the age of eighteen, and governed the country well, so that he became famous all over the world and left a name in history." ”
Li Xun looked at Sima Tu and said lightly, "What do you want to say?" ”
Sima Tu said: "Lord, the political hall and the battlefield are actually the same, for the prime minister, if you want to display your ambitions and spread your fists and feet, you also need the right time, place, and people. It is the location, the last words of the former emperor, and the political needs of the current emperor, but in addition, the time and the people, how can the lord ever have? ”
Li Xun stood up and walked back and forth there.
From the opening and closing of Zhao Xun's change to the opening and closing of the yuan, and the normal operation of the political situation in the court, it has been more than a month since Li Xun joined the political affairs hall, which is not a long time, but it is this short time, but Li Xun is a little exhausted, and he has a faint sense of retreat in his heart.
Zhao Xun used Li Xun's purpose in order to use his influence and influence in the Western Regions and the western part of Longyou to control these two places in his own hands, but as the situation in the court became more and more turbulent, many of the gate valve families who had been excluded began to return to the political class, and their arrival was for the sake of interests, the two big cakes of the Western Regions and the western part of Longyou, how could they ignore it, in fact, with the personnel of the Western Regions and the western part of Longyou being put on the agenda, this shows that the gate valve family group has set its sights on the Western Regions and Longyou, In the face of such a turbulent situation, can Zhao Xun withstand it? I'm afraid it can't be resisted, because this represents the interests of many forces, Zhao Xun doesn't have the ability and qualifications to enjoy this benefit alone, if he dares to do that, those gate valve families and some political forces that he has attracted will probably leave him immediately.
Once in the Western Regions and Longyou affairs, Zhao Xun had concessions and compromises, in fact, it was none other than Li Xun who suffered the most damage.
