Chapter 984: Towering
"Yo ho, the chief manager of the festival actually came to the dock in person...... "There are also shops near the Dengzhou Prefecture to buy and sell, and Yang Lie's honor guard has seen a lot, so he naturally recognizes it."
The vast majority of people in the city are not much richer than the local peasants in the countryside, but they live in the city, have seen the world, and heard more stories than the villagers!
In fact, the same is true in the Hereafter. Most of the people in the city are working-class, and with a few dry wages and bonuses, they can only barely get by.
However, a small number of people in the city always have an inexplicable sense of superiority. Not only do they look down on outsiders, but they also look down on their poor relatives in the countryside who don't pay so much attention to hygiene.
"I said, Brother Wu, do you actually know the chief manager of Yang Jiedu?" Someone came over and asked Lao Wu with surprise and suspicion.
Lao Wu was worried that no one would ask him, so he immediately showed a mysterious smile and asked the man triumphantly: "Do you want to know?" Well, tonight's wine and dinner......"
"No problem, it's all wrapped up in the little brother's body......"
"Dadexing Restaurant in the city......"
"The best daughter red ......"
"Find two more singers to ......"
Looking at the lively grass people, they are never afraid of big things, since someone said something big about him, then others add bricks and tiles, add oil and vinegar, and don't blame everyone for hating and black.
"Okay, good, good, it's all right, and then invite my brothers to send Xianglou......" The man has always been used to blowing cowhides, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, and the big words became bigger and bigger.
"Not only do I know Yang Jiedu, but I also have eaten wine with his uncle...... Old Wu Ming knew that the man was a bragging guy, but he couldn't hold back his thoughts of wanting to show off, and said endlessly, "Yang Jiedu's brother-in-law is really a lot......"
"I said, I seem to have heard that Yang Jiedu has not been married yet, right?" Among the people who watched the excitement, there were always people who had more news, and simply questioned it directly.
"Well, that's Yang Jiedu's favorite concubine's brother......" Lao Wu's palms were already sweating.
"I said Brother Wu, isn't it, the Pinglu Jiedu envoy has always been Li Xiaoxianggong, right?" Some people couldn't get used to Lao Wu's bragging, so they directly pounced on him and slapped him in the face.
"Oh, oh, I said it's fast, it should be Yang...... Deputy Envoy Yang Jiedu ......, "Old Wu hates to death, and the roots of his teeth are itchy."
"Look, Li Xiaoxianggong's handsome boat has docked...... someone shouted, attracting people's attention, and Lao Wu took advantage of the effort to turn his head to look, and quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the dock, this was unbelievable, even Lao Wu, who was used to blowing bulls, couldn't help but take a sip of cold, and said secretly: "My little girl!" ”
On the top of the ship at the front, a large flag fluttered high, and the large characters of the official script painted in gold: Li, rolled and swayed in the breeze, conveying a sense of oppression that was not clear, which made people's hearts heavy and almost out of breath.
At this time, Li Zhongyi was standing next to the railing on the top floor of the handsome ship, his snow-white Confucian shirt was blowing in the wind, and the hosta on the bun was shining under the reflection of the sun.
The handsome ship, several stories high, slowly docked and tied the cable under the skillful management of the sailors.
"A certain Yang Lie, leading the city officials and generals, greeting the handsome driver."
Yang Lie, who was sent early to settle Pinglu, was the first to come forward and lead the officials and generals at all levels throughout Dengzhou to pay a big bow to Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi stood tall and naturally saw far away, and the officials who saluted on the shore could be described as strange and couldn't help laughing!
The generals on the left, led by Yang Lie, were all beating their chests heavily, and the sound of "bang bang bang ......" sounded together as if they had been trained countless times, and then stopped together.
The civil officials of the Jiedu envoys and prefectures and counties on the right are very different from the military generals, and they bow down one after another and bow to the ground. However, because they had not been trained in the corresponding etiquette beforehand, the civil officials' salute movements were uneven and full of foreign appearances.
Maybe it's a matter of origin, or maybe it's because he's been baptized by the modern concept of equality, Li Zhongyi doesn't particularly care about the omissions in etiquette.
Since Qin Shi Huang unified China, in order to highlight the supremacy of imperial power, successive dynasties have formulated countless rules and regulations to restrain the words and deeds of the people.
However, the careerists and ministers should still seize power, and even the emperor dares to abolish and kill. Ant people, you can't eat enough, no matter if your emperor is a real dragon emperor or not, you will starve to death if you don't lift the pole.
It can be seen that etiquette cannot be avoided, and there is no square circle without rules. However, you can't take etiquette too seriously.
Li Zhongyi's past and present lives belonged to a member of the bureaucratic privileged class, and he knew very well in his heart that the closer the magnates were to the imperial power, the less they actually regarded the emperor as a real dragon.
People who eat whole grains and grains have birth, old age, sickness and death, and they will also show seven emotions and six desires!
The closer you are to the emperor, this also means that the emperor's embarrassing things, even dirty things, that are not seen by ordinary people, will be mastered by the close ministers.
As the saying goes, it smells good from afar, telling people a very incisive truth, interpersonal relationships must not be too close, otherwise, it is not a loss of feelings, or a loss of interests.
The farther away this person is, the easier it is to have an inexplicable mysterious feeling. However, after getting along for a long time, you will find N intolerable flaws from the other party's words and deeds.
The kitchen knife will inevitably cut the cutting board, the spatula will inevitably hit the iron pot, people get too close to each other, get along for too long, patience and tolerance are limited after all, and one day there will always be an outbreak.
Li Zhongyi stood on the edge of the railing, looking down at the civil officials and generals who saluted him, he knew very well that the generals must be diehards who followed him all the way to the black.
As for the civil officials who originally belonged to Pinglu, it was very different. Among them, there are people from all factions, all the mountains, and more of them are the local snakes of the city.
Now, under the oppression of Li Zhongyi's strong and powerful military, these civil officials do not dare to blatantly oppose Li Zhongyi's chaos, even if they are not of one mind.
Once Li Zhongyi loses his momentum, these seemingly obedient local snakes will definitely jump out as soon as possible and bite back viciously.
Li Zhongyi's ups and downs, the grass people don't know or care, they have long been fascinated by the extremely prominent honor guard flag.
At this time, the guard of honor has been lined up on the shore next to the handsome ship, and the first thing to do is the majestic title plate painted with gold and jade--Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi.
Li Zhongyi started with martial arts, commanded the Iron Army in the south of a hundred battles, conquered all battles, and was invincible, and his military prestige can be described as unusually prominent, but after all, it is not as good as the eight-character title of "Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi", which brings supreme glory and great authority.
