Chapter 434: Those who come do not refuse
Han Yi really has a headache, there are so many princes, where does he remember it, fortunately, these princes are very caring and gave him a list, otherwise, he will really go crazy.
But if this is really strange, you have to blame Li Shimin for being too merciful at the beginning, the founding of the country did not kill any heroes, and all of them were named Guogong, although most of these Guogongs have passed away, but their family has been entrenched in Chang'an for so long, spreading branches and leaves, and has strong power.
In addition, Han Yi didn't expect that all the housekeepers who came were here, and not even one of them had ever come.
Obviously, he has not yet reached that level, if the eldest grandson Wuji, then he must go in person, even if it is a little trivial, if he comes to Ji and Han Yin, he will at least have to send a member of his own clan, and it is impossible to send a housekeeper, but Han Yi - sending a housekeeper is considered to be a face.
Fortunately, the gift arrived, although it was not very heavy, after all, it was a petty official, not a few high-ranking officials, it was impossible to send a convoy, but it was not a lot, at least it didn't look like a loss of face, after all, they were all from the Guogong, and they couldn't be too stingy, otherwise Han Yi would look down on them.
In the morning, all the people who came were housekeepers at the level of the national government, but because Han Yi was a little deflated from other places in their eyes, they sent people not to ask for officials, but in a very tactful way of commanding, and they did not take Han Yi's refusal into account, to put it bluntly, that is, you must give.
Han Yi didn't seem to have any intention of refusing, anyway, he didn't refuse.
But this is just the beginning, and the next thing is the people of the major families, because they all understand now that Cheng Chuliang and Changsun Yan are unreliable, even if they are Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang and others, they have no power to interfere in this matter. I really had to go to Han Yi, and the princes didn't feel embarrassed at the beginning, and they were afraid that they would be late, and the places would be robbed, so I hurriedly sent someone. It's the same, it's all the housekeepers who come forward, and no nobleman is willing to come to Han Yi in a low voice.
This is simply a grand occasion, the vehicles in the North Lane have hardly stopped, the river is endless, the crowds are crowded, and the business in the North Lane today is also unprecedentedly good, because those noble children are staying outside waiting for news, although they are all in the way of face. I don't want to see Han Yi, but I love this royal policeman very much.
The shops in North Lane are stupid, what is the situation, the major families, and the people of all meritorious deeds take turns to find Han Yi, although they are all housekeepers, but they are also very scary!
Han Yi's hands and feet were weak when he received the gift, so he simply stood at the door and waited at the back. Because every time he didn't wait for him to turn around, the next guest came in, and the people of these big families seemed to be kind. But the words are all hinting at Han Yi, if my son-in-law is not selected, you will have to weigh it.
Han Yi is also very cooperative with them, as long as the gift arrives, it doesn't matter who you are, you will say, "Don't worry." Don't worry, if you wrap it up on me, you will definitely be selected, a little thing. β
The two sides cooperate so tacitly, so the transaction is very fast. It's like doing business, every inch is gold, hurry up, and the next person will be courteous immediately.
From morning to sunset, let alone lunch, Han Yi didn't even have a cup of tea, and his tongue was soft when he greeted him, as if he had lost his sense of taste.
Fortunately, it gets dark early this winter, and the curfew comes early!
As soon as the drum of the curfew sounded, Han Yi immediately turned into a little fat, lying on the stone table, and everyone was groggy.
"Wowββ!"
Suddenly, I heard an exclamation from the side.
"What's the situation?"
Han Yi struggled to stand up and staggered to the back room, only to see Brother Xiong, Xiao Ye, Meng'er, and Mengting all standing in front of a room, their mouths slightly open, and their eyes looking at the house with dementia.
What are you doing?
Han Yi walked over and took a look, and wowed, "So many gifts, it's so spectacular!" β
It turned out that the whole room was full of gifts, and not even a single needle could be inserted.
No wonder so many people like to be officials, this is really a glance, and it is refreshing to the heart. Han Yi is like an initiation, and finally understands the meaning of being an official.
Cha Wu looked at it when he heard the sound and said, "Brother Han, you came just in time, you see that there is no pile in this house." β
He has been a little turtle boy for so many years, and it is still the first time that his legs are weak, which is really terrifying, happiness comes too quickly, and his brain has become a little sluggish.
"Brother Han, you are so amazing, so many people give you gifts."
Brother Xiong jumped excitedly.
Meng'er and Mengting also came around, jumping and dancing, and the words of praise came out from the heart, giving people the feeling that they were going to turn over and be the master, but this is normal, because Fengfeilou used to be just a green building, and no nobles regarded them as people, they were generally goods, but now it is different, those nobles are all struggling to give them gifts, this is a kind of glory!
Just when Han Yi was so unhappy by them, one of them suddenly said: "What is there to be happy about, I think these are funeral gifts." β
Meng'er and they suddenly quieted down, and when they turned their eyes, they saw Liu E's gloomy face and her mouth grinding.
Han Yi squinted and said, "I said Sister Liu, you are really, everyone is finally happy, and you are here to pour cold water." β
Liu E cried with a sad face, and said: "Brother Han, listen to my advice, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many people who have given gifts like this, but no one dares to receive gifts like this, you have only been an official for a long time, just such a collection method, do you really want to die, in case anyone goes to His Majesty to denounce you, your ten lives are not enough, listen to me, send them back." β
Han Yi said: "You are less here, people give gifts that are gifts, I am a businessman, what if I receive some gifts, how can this become a bribe." β
Liu E said: "You are quibbling, if people don't have anything to ask you, how can they give you gifts, and you are not a captain." β
"I hate the poor and love the rich."
Han Yi snorted and said, "Now that these gifts are piled up like this, who knows whose gift it is." β
Liu E said: "Don't worry, I have already marked it, and I won't be mistaken, otherwise, I will now order someone to send them back." β
"Gotta get it, you don't have to make trouble for me here."
Han Yi waved his hand and said, "Sister Liu, I'll leave you a clear sentence today." I've been giving Han Yi a gift for half my life, and I haven't received any gifts, this time I've received the gift, no one wants to take it back, I'm also a royal envoy now, if I haven't received a gift. I'm embarrassed to say I'm a royal envoy. β
When Liu E was about to speak, Gu Qingcheng on the side suddenly chuckled: "Sister Liu, don't mention that he is worried." I haven't known him for a long time, but I also know that Brother Han is extremely cunning, greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he do such a lifeless thing, I think he must have already solved it, so don't worry about it. β
Han Yi listened strangely. Said: "Allure, what kind of greed for life and fear of death, cunning, if you want to say that again, I will send you back to Huayue Tower!" β
Gu Qingcheng said pitifully: "Isn't this trying to comfort Sister Liu." β
Han Yi said: "Are you so comforting?" β
Liu E said suddenly: "No, I think Allure makes a lot of sense." β
Han Yi said: "Sister Liu, you are revenge!" β
Liu E glanced at him and said, "Who told you this." You're so smart, how can you not even know this. Still so fearless, do you still have something to hide from me? β
Han Yi beckoned.
Liu E immediately came over with her ear.
Han Yi whispered: "Top secret, do you want to listen?" β
Liu E was frightened, shook her head again and again, and said, "Since this is the case, I won't listen." But you've got to tell me it's mmmmmmmm β
After all, she came out of the palace, she knows the rules too well, she shouldn't know, she will never ask more.
Han Yi also appreciates her the most.
Cha Wu said: "Brother Xiaoyi, where do you put the rest of the gifts." β
Han Yi snorted. Said: "Of course, find another room to put it, such a simple thing, you have to ask me, wow, you don't think I'm busy enough." β
Cha Wu answered, and hurriedly asked people to move these gifts to another room.
Han Yi said again: "Sister Liu, ask someone to take care of these gifts." β
Liu E immediately said: "You don't need to say this, I know it." β
"This is the difference between Cha Wu and you!"
Han Yi praised it from the bottom of his heart.
But when Liu E heard it in her ears, she felt that it was not a good taste.
At this moment, a subordinate came over and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, Wang Gongzi, Zheng Gongzi, and Lu Gongzi are here." β
Han Yi hummed, instructed Sister Liu a few words, and then went to the front.
I saw Wang, Lu, and Zheng standing in the courtyard, and there were some subordinates standing behind them, and to Han Yi's surprise, these subordinates were holding a lot of gifts in their hands.
"Wow! Do? β
Han Yi walked over and said incredulously, "You guys won't also come to give gifts." β
Lu Shigua shook his head and said, "I came with them." β
Han Yi looked at Wang and Zheng again, and said, "In other words, Zheng Gongzi and Wang Gongzi are here to give gifts." β
Zheng Shanxing smiled bitterly: "The elders of the family know that we know you, so they asked us to come to give gifts, but we didn't want to come, but seeing that you don't seem to refuse, then it won't be the two of us." β
Han Yi rubbed his hands and said, "But we have such a good relationship, you don't need to bring gifts!" β
Zheng Shanxing said: "This is not my family's, it is my uncle's family, I am just a person who does it for me." β
"That-that, that, you're welcome."
Han Yi glanced at those subordinates, and those subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to take the gifts. He invited the three of them into the house, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you Dashi clan would also be interested in this." β
Wang Xuandao said with a smile: "Your Majesty set the Civil Security Bureau as a channel for promotion to prime minister, the officials of this Civil Security Bureau have less competition than civilian officials, and they are safer than military attachΓ©s, and they also have real power, and they have a relationship with everyone, who doesn't want to come in, if not, then just quit, besides, my brothers are just playing at home, so it's better to find something for them to do." β
Zheng Shanxing also nodded.
Han Yi said: "Then no one in Lu Gongzi's family wants to come?" β
Lu Shigua said: "Don't forget, I was expelled from the house. β
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Han Yi hurriedly said.
Lu Shigua said again: "But I remember that my Lu family sent someone." β
"Really?"
Han Yi was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, I've seen too many people today, and my brain is a little confused." β
Wang Xuandao smiled: "You must be tired today." β
Han Yi said: "Not only is it so tired, I haven't even eaten a mouthful of food now." β
Zheng Shanxing asked, "How many people have come?" β
Han Yi said: "Most of them have seventy or eighty people, and there are five families from the Wei family alone, and I haven't looked at the specific list, but it is estimated that there are also one hundred and twenty-three. β
Zheng Shanxing said with a smile: "I think it is Brother Han who regards the Civil Security Bureau as his own home, but even if you want to accept bribes through this, then you have to accept it according to the actual situation, you are good, those who come do not refuse, if you are polite, you can't even remember who it is, you don't forget, Your Majesty only gave you forty or fifty places, and you received more than twice as many gifts in one day, you accepted their gifts, if you don't help them do it, then they will never spare you, they are not easy to mess with." β
Lu Shigua frowned and said: "Corruption and bribery are not a fair and honest thing after all, if you accept bribes like this, then you can be regarded as the first person in my Tang Dynasty, this is not a small crime." β
Han Yi looked at Wang Xuandao again.
Wang Xuandao smiled slightly and said, "Look at what I've done, I'm here to give gifts." β
Enough to get on the road, I like it. Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "The three sons are right, but have the three sons ever thought about what would happen if I didn't accept this gift?" If I don't accept it, it means that I didn't promise them, and it will make them lose face, anger, and upset. Some people will definitely come to me for trouble because they can't get by with their faces, which may cause many more incidents, and it is even more difficult for the Civil Security Bureau to be built, so it is better to receive this gift than not to accept it. Take 10,000 steps back and say, I am going to recruit these people to the Civil Security Bureau in my life, if I anger them, and they don't let their sons and grandsons come, the situation will be even worse, so I must accept this gift. β
Lu Shigua said: "But after all, you are taking bribes and breaking the law, no matter how reasonable you are, if everyone is like you, then this country is afraid that it will come to an end." β
Zheng Shanxing was also worried: "Moreover, if someone denounces you about this, the evidence is conclusive, and Your Majesty will not be able to shield you." β
Han Yi said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, but I can't say anything about this matter for the time being, and you will know then." Anyway, the more people and the more gifts, the happier I am, I'm not afraid that someone will give gifts, I'm afraid that no one will give gifts, to be honest, I've been in Chang'an for so long, and I've been bullied enough by you nobles, it's time for me to take revenge. β
The three of them were stunned at the same time.
Wang Xuandao frowned slightly and said, "Can I take back those gifts, Brother Zheng, he is just helping his brother, but I am helping my cousin." β
Han Yi said: "There is no reason to take back the gifts that were given." β
