Chapter 58 1. Ji An's prophecy

If you want to talk about Zhang Tang, you can't get around Ji An.Ji An was not killed by Gong Sunhong, but the other party died earlier than him, which is a matter of joy and congratulations.However, Gongsun Hong died, and Zhang Tang.The festival between the two of them is not completely over yet. Recently, Ji An's life has not been easy at all.Since King Hunxie surrendered last time, Ji An said some words that were not conducive to unity with the ethnic minorities, and his image basically collapsed in Liu Che's heart.That's all.Unexpectedly, I don't know what kind of trouble the old man caused. Although it was a small trouble, he was dismissed from office.

Having no official status, Ji An went back to live in his hometown after he lost his job.In his own manor, life is boring and quiet.Unexpectedly, he wanted to be quiet for a while, but Liu Che didn't let him be quiet. Not long after, Liu Che invited him out again. The reason why Liu Che thought of Ji An was because he encountered a troublesome matter.And this troublesome matter, after much deliberation, except Ji An, I really didn't expect anyone else to be able to handle it. Recalling the beginning, why is Ji An a cow?Since ancient times, if there are no two brushes, there are few people who dare to play their temper in front of the leaders.The reason why Ji An dared to contradict the leader was not only because he had a personality, but also because he had a skill that ordinary people did not have: he was good at law and order.

Have you ever remembered that before Gongsun Hong died, he and Zhang Tang suggested to Liu Che that Ji An be the special mayor of Chang'an City.Gong Sunhong believes that Chang'an is the land of heroes, royal families, and dignitaries.As long as these people are causing trouble, no one will dare to stop them. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ji An took office, those who caused trouble, like a little ghost meeting a big ghost, all shrank their heads and dared not make trouble.So during Ji An's tenure, nothing major happened in Chang'an. Now, what Liu Che encountered was the issue of law and order.

The situation is like this, Liu Che has just canceled the three-baht coin and replaced it with the five-baht coin.Unexpectedly, the people actually regarded national policies as a way to get rich, and many places minted money privately.There is a place where the situation is particularly serious, and this place is the Kingdom of Chu. At that time, Huaiyang County, the central jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, bordered the Kingdom of Chu.There are many problems at any border.Huaiyang County seems to have become a paradise for the folk little ghosts to commit crimes.Therefore, Liu Che decided to ask Ji An to come out of the mountain and worship him as the prefect of the county.Let him, a big ghost, go and suppress those little ghosts.

Having made up his mind, Liu Che sent someone to invite someone with a letter of appointment and a seal.Unexpectedly, when the envoy arrived home and read out the letter of appointment, Ji An only had one expression on his face: he bowed down and apologized, but he refused to accept the imperial edict. Ji An refused to answer, and the messenger had no choice but to go back and report to the leader.When Liu Che heard this, he lost his temper and continued to send people to recruit. However, Ji An still had that rigid attitude and resolutely refused to accept the appointment. Ji An is not being modest, let alone showing off, he really does not want to go out.There are two reasons why he rejected Liu Che: one is that he can't save face.He had been a high-ranking central government official for many years, and at a very old age, he was even sent to the local government. The emperor seemed to use him heavily, but in fact he was making fun of him.

Another reason is that he is indeed old and sick. He doesn't want to cause any major troubles, so he just wants to live his own life at home. Ji An played stubborn, Liu Che also played hard for him.At this time, Liu Che sent another message, saying that the emperor wants to meet with you.Now, Ji An couldn't refuse. Of course Ji An knew that the emperor wanted to see him for nothing more than talking to him and doing his ideological work.If you really tear your skin apart in front of Liu Che, this result is no joke. Just go, it's not that you haven't dealt with leaders before.

Ji An was already mentally prepared. On this day, Ji An went to the hall to meet Liu Che as scheduled.As soon as he came up, he made a move first, crying. This scene of Ji An reminds me of Zhou Chang in Lu Zhi's era.At that time, Zhou Chang was also a tough guy, who dared to contradict anyone. If he didn't contradict him, he had to cut off his head.Unexpectedly, when that man finally heard that the leader was going to send him to be Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi's prime minister, he was so sad that he couldn't stop crying. Who said that tough guys have no tears, but they haven't reached the point of sadness.Ji An at this time is almost the same as Zhou Chang back then.I saw him crying in front of Liu Che with tears and snot:

I thought I would die of old age in the valley in this life, but I didn't expect to be appointed by Your Majesty. I am so touched.It's not that I don't have the heart to repay your kindness. Your Majesty should know that I have always been in poor health.If you want me to be the governor of Huaiyang, I have more than enough heart but not enough energy.If I want to do something, I am still willing to stay in Chang'an.Your Majesty, why don't you let me come to Zhonglangguan, I hope I can advise you to make up for it in the future. Zhonglang official, with a food salary of two thousand shi, is a senior official at the ministerial level like the county guard.However, the difference between this official position and the sheriff is that the Zhonglang officer has closer access to the magic wand of power than the sheriff.

We have reason to believe that the tearing of tears is a bitter trick.It is true that the body is not good, and it is false that the heart is more than enough but the strength is not enough.He just didn't want to go down somewhere. Liu Che has dealt with Ji An for many years, it would be unbelievable if he couldn't see what Ji An was thinking.Liu Che said to Ji An: You old man, don't dislike the governor of Huaiyang, don't think that I don't praise you.On the contrary, the law and order in Huaiyang County is really in disarray.I rely on you so much that I ask you to leave the mountain.No matter what, even if you are lying on the hospital bed, help me get rid of the mess in Huaiyang.

This is what the leaders said.Ji An wanted to resist, but it seemed pointless.In the end, Ji An had no choice but to wipe away his tears and ordered to go to the place. In fact, Ji An didn't want to go to the place, and there was another dark secret.He really wanted to be in Chang'an and watch a person burn and perish in front of him. This person, of course, is his old opponent, Comrade Zhang Tang.But if he leaves, he may never be able to return to Chang'an.Before leaving, Ji An decided to ask someone for help.This is a person with a low appearance rate, and his name is Li Xi.

Li Xi, then director of reception for foreign officials and civilians (Dahang), was also a senior official at the ministerial level of two thousand shi. Ji An said to Li Xi like this: I remind you to pay attention to Zhang Tang.Zhang Tang's wisdom and strategy are unmatched by anyone in the dynasty.But please believe me, he is too arrogant and has offended too many people, he must not live long.So I suggest you, if you have a chance, you'd better expose him more, otherwise, one day you will be implicated by him too. In Ji An's view, what he said was honest, and he didn't think about pulling his colleagues into the water.Unexpectedly, the person he entrusted was a timid person.After Ji An left, Li Xi had been covering his life with his lids on. In fact, the person who later regretted it was not Ji An, but Li Xi.Li Xi was afraid of Zhang Tang, so he concealed what Ji An said.Later, when Liu Che heard about it, he punished Li Xi.After messing around for a lifetime, it turned out that he suffered the loss of not listening to Ji An's words.
