Chapter four hundred and twentieth: diving into the sea(1/2)
"Little Zhengtai?" Li Shimin couldn't help feeling stern.
When I see Deng Jian on weekdays, I am ordinary, but I can actually compare with Chen Zhengtai?
Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "You must be clear that this matter is of great importance and what is involved is me... no, it is millions of chunks of money and food in the court. Only if someone can overcome all obstacles and break through great difficulties can he succeed!"
"Your Majesty." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "If my son is not sure, he will naturally not dare to take on this relationship. Xiao Zhengtai, no, Deng Jian... is loyal and I am sure of him."
"Very good." Li Shimin was wearing a murderous aura on his face at this time.
It would be fine if other places cheated me.
How dare you cheat my money?
Do you really think I'm a fool?
Although Zhang Qian's reminder was still in his ears, Li Shimin couldn't swallow this breath.
It’s outrageous. I don’t take me seriously!
"Then, I will order Deng Jian to investigate the matter thoroughly." Li Shimin said chasingly: "No matter who is involved, I will never tolerate it."
Chen Zhengtai breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the Chen family has already started to make arrangements slowly.
My third uncle said nothing wrong. If you don’t form a clique, others will form a group and trample you under your feet.
But the Chen family's foundation is really weak.
Even the children and disciples they have trained are still too young after all. When they grow up slowly and become towering trees, it may not be enough if they don’t have ten or twenty years or even thirty years.
Since this is the case, there is no way, that is... to encourage growth.
How can we let these people suffer from hardships without pushing them to the most dangerous place?
The search for the Dou family’s affairs is a great contribution. Of course, the premise is whether you have the life to take it.
This is a destruction!
After Chen Zhengtai received the order, he hurriedly ordered someone to come to Deng Jian.
Deng Jian was on duty and was suddenly called and looked at his master with confusion.
But when Chen Zhengtai looked serious, he looked up and down at Deng Jian.
Looking at Chen Zhengtai's expression, Deng Jian was worried and thought he was going to be scolded.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhengtai said indeed: "I entered the palace and became a Hanlin on duty, but have I learned anything?"
"Return to Master's words." Deng Jian calmed down and thought for a while and said, "The students are ignorant and don't learn much."
"I haven't learned anything? What about the rules in the palace, the subordinates and official documents between the courts?"
Deng Jian smiled bitterly: "Zhengrim is just following his entourage. Although he can hear some words? But the students are not smart people? Compared with many ministers, they don't know much."
Is this both modesty and truth?
Deng Jian was born in a poor family. He was not as intoxicated as Changsun Chong. The structure of the court was very complicated. What official officials? What official officials? What official titles? Just those countless official names? They are all difficult to understand!
Not only that, he was confused by all kinds of hidden rules and unspoken rules, and he often had to accompany him. He had to check the memorial at any time. If he read the memorial too much, he would sometimes get dizzy, because the memorials looked similar on the surface and were just average. However, many words inside were different.
After Deng Jian entered the officialdom, he felt inferior because he discovered that Hanlin people like him, who were born in the aristocratic family, had many things that could be understood at all. After all, most of their relatives and friends were officials, and they were influenced by many tricks and unspoken rules from the beginning.
But Deng Jian is a serious poor peasant. In this circle, he is completely disgusted.
Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "So, what kind of friends did you make after entering the government?"
Deng Jian shook his head again: "Students are even more ashamed. Students are difficult to get along with many people. They just think they are outsiders and rarely deal with people on weekdays."
This is also the truth.
People are always celebrating their relatives. When they hear your surname is Deng, they ask where you come from. When they talk about your county, they ask about your third generation ancestor who is who. When they ask about this, they can't help but get intimate. They will say that your third generation ancestor was an official in the same court, or had a marriage in-laws. In this way, the relationship became closer. So they asked about your relatives and friends again. Hey, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
But Deng Jian is different. When you learned that your surname was Deng, you asked the county no. When you asked which Deng family you came from, you said that Deng family in Guanzhong. After thinking about it, there was no Deng family in this place. Then you asked you, since your original origin is from, can you recognize someone? Don’t know him!
This is really not recognized, and there is no vain.
Deng Jian said this and couldn't help but look ashamed.
When Chen Zhengtai cultivated himself like this, he didn't know that he was mediocre after entering the court. I think he could only spend the rest of his life in this wasted time.
Many of the great ambitions that were established in the past in learning have now become like fireworks, burning in an instant and destroyed.
But Chen Zhengtai slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Oh, I expected you to be like this, Deng Jian, good-looking, the court needs someone like you."
"Ah..." Deng Jian looked at Chen Zhengtai with an incredible look on his face.
But when Chen Zhengtai was excited, he said, "Everyone outside said that you are Xiao Zhengtai. I didn't believe it at first, but now I finally believe it. A minister like you is what Your Majesty needs most. This time, Your Majesty plans to entrust you with important tasks and ask you to search the Dou family."
Search the Dou family...
This is a big case. Deng Jian mentioned it more than once in his memorials and decrees, involving many ministries and alarmed many big names!
Deng Jian couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He could not imagine how such a big thing would... be left to him a mere seventh-rank official.
Chen Zhengtai said, "From today, you will be responsible for this matter. I have recommended you to Your Majesty."
"What?" Deng Jian was shocked and looked at Chen Zhengtai's eyes and turned slightly red.
Recommended me?
What does the master value me like this?
I, Deng Jian, have no good background, and I am also like everyone else in the court. Does my master still value it so much?
Deng Jian was not overwhelmed by excitement and asked an important question: "Just... how to search?"
"I can't even search?" Chen Zhengtai looked at Deng Jian who was eager to learn and couldn't help but sigh: "Search means searching, just like... um... you are a general, you won a battle, and this city is yours now, and then you pick up the guy and sweep the things inside. Now the Dou family is such an empty house. You kick the door and take them when you see valuable things. Do you understand now?"
It's so simple...
Deng Jian felt it was incredible, so he couldn't help but say, "That's all?"
Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Can I, Chen Zhengtai, still lie to you?"
Deng Jian suddenly became frightened and said quickly: "I dare not, I dare not, the students just think..."
After hearing him indulge in patience, Chen Zhengtai said, "Start now, you can start working. In short, you have to get the money and land of the Dou family back. But... what I worry most now is, what if someone covets this money, there will be many people coming to make contact with you at that time."
Deng Jian said without thinking: "I... have no friendship with others."
Chen Zhengtai was naturally satisfied and said, "But what if someone wants to threaten and tempt you?"
When Deng Jian heard this, a stream of scholarly anger suddenly surged into his heart.
"I have been reading books for so many years, and the books of sages are clearly stated, and a gentleman should..."
Before Deng Jian could continue to memorize his text, Chen Zhengtai patted his shoulder with gratitude: "Good, you are really a talent in all directions. Don't worry, I'll be your backing, you can just do it with confidence and boldness."
"Oh." Deng Jian nodded.
He actually doesn't understand the twists and turns.
The investigation of the Dou family was very deep... However... Deng Jian obviously didn't know the depth. What he thought was actually very simple. Since it was the will and the strong support of the master, then it was done.
However, at this moment, Deng Jian thought of another important question: "It's just... there is no one here for the students."
Chen Zhengtai narrowed his eyes and looked at Deng Jian and said, "This is really difficult. Otherwise, draw a group of people from school and follow you to the internship?"
Deng Jian hesitated: "Ah...will it delay their studies..."
"Oh, studying is not a closed-door business. You should ask your senior brother to take them out to see the world. How many people do you want to draw? Let's go to school to talk about it."
Deng Jian's heart was surging at this time, and a breath surged in his heart, as if he had suddenly regained his fighting spirit.
He nodded heavily and said, "Students understand."
...
On that day, a decree came out and ordered Deng Jian to be the imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the case of Dou family.
This intention... actually did not cause much trouble.
Just a small Hanlin official, not worth mentioning, and a mere seventh-rank official is nothing.
If Your Majesty asked Mr. Fang or Mr. Du to investigate, and if he was not good at all, he would have appointed Changsun Wuji to go, he might have some clues.
But if such a person is sent... who cares!
Many dogs in their families are more majestic than when they go out.
What about the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister?
I think it was because His Majesty was unable to hold back his face and was unwilling to accept it, but he was afraid of making a big deal, so he simply came up with such a painless decree.
Everything returns to peace.
However, Deng Jian had already started to hang a police officer in Erpigou and directly handled the case.
Then he recruited hundreds of juniors, and first went to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to remove a large amount of official documents.
This is all about searching the Dou family’s account books, with more than a dozen cars of documents.
Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice obviously did not take these people to heart.
To be continued...
