Chapter 208: Chen Aotian
When Chen Zhengtai left the palace, he and Li Chengqian were anxiously leading the guards to appear in the streets and alleys in Chang'an.
Every gambling house was recorded in small books.
After all, there are too many places to bet.
The worst thing about these gambling shops is... Although he provides a platform, many of his bosses will end up himself.
After all, this is what they do, and everyone thought that the chance of winning at the time of the Right Guard was too great, and they couldn't get over it if they didn't leave the game and they didn't get it.
So...
Many people are already crying.
There are many people who don’t want to run away with the money.
After all, this time I lost too badly.
It’s just a pity... Chen Zhengtai never fights unprepared wars.
I took my bet from Chen Zhengtai and wanted to run away. You can show me and you can catch you back even if you run to the horizon.
The third uncle had already arranged the arrangement early in the morning and mobilized all the Chen family to appear in various gambling shops with Erpigou's shopkeepers.
Then, Chen Zhengtai and Lee Seung-qian began visiting gambling houses one by one.
Many gambling shops almost settled Chen Zhengtai's money and directly declared bankruptcy.
This made Chen Zhengtai quite moved. I didn't expect that Chen Zhengtai, in the Tang Dynasty, would become the pioneer in combating pornographic gambling.
In fact, not only was the gambling house almost done, but this most famous brothel in the Tang Dynasty... also closed down a lot that day.
After all, pornography and gambling are inseparable. People will only go to brothels after they have money. But those kind-hearted guests lose so much that they lose their pants. What else can they spend a lot of money?
These brothels were originally waiting to take advantage of the announcement of the gambling game today. Many enk-commen who had won the money flocked to us and had already prepared to welcome the guests. How could they know... I didn't see a single ghost.
Chen's family prepared more than 30 large carts for the money and IOU boxes, and 50 Erpigou guards rode on horseback, and Xue Li and Su Lie were there. Li Chengqian even felt worried, so he asked the Right Session Yu to lead the Right Session Guard to come.
This group of people swayed wherever the market passed by, and they were rolling their eyes from countless people, but fortunately no one dared to provoke them.
After a full day and one night of charge, Chen Zhengtai was almost exhausted and paralyzed. Fortunately, he was young. In his previous life, he could have been able to call the Red Alert all night long. In the Tang Dynasty, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Immediately afterwards, a truckload of money began to be delivered to the warehouse in Erpigou, and someone asked to count it into the warehouse.
This is one million guan. In addition, there is nearly 200,000 guan of the Crown Prince temporarily stored here. Such a huge amount of wealth is unimaginable.
If you can always hire a labor force for a month, then this wealth alone will be enough to hire 100,000 strong men to do a year of work for the Chen family.
Chen Zhengtai dared not let himself continue to be in an excited state. If a person is excited for a long time and cannot replenish his sleep, he will lose his mind.
Chen Zhengtai doesn’t deny that he loves money, but he also knows that health is more important than money. After all, health is gone, and no matter how much money you have, it’s in vain.
So he forced himself to think about nothing, and took a nap for two hours. After getting up, he found that his energy was finally much more abundant, so... he began to put on his dress, ate something simple, and rushed to the East Palace.
The East Palace is a distance from Erpigou. When Chen Zhengtai arrived, it was reported that Li Chengqian was still sleeping.
However, Li Chengqian naturally didn't need to get up with this kind of thing. Chen Zhengtai was the young secretary. In this Eastern Palace, in addition to the prince, the secretary of the secretary of the Zhan Mansion had a higher status than him.
The Zhan Shi Zhan Shi is Li Gang, and his status is very noble, so even Li Chengqian is afraid of him.
As the chief supervisor of the East Palace, Li Gang has extraordinary authority.
What makes Li Gang the most amazing is that he doesn't understand the affairs of the Eastern Palace better than him.
Because as early as Emperor Wen of Sui, he served as the crown prince Yang Yong as the crown prince, and assisted the crown prince Yang Yong until Yang Yong was finished.
After that, he soon had a new young master, namely Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of which, Li Gang and Chen Zhengtai's father Chen Jiye were also colleagues, both of Li Jiancheng's old ministers.
Li Gang was a timid in assisting Li Jiancheng, but in the end, Li Jiancheng was killed.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he chose the imperial rank and could not choose any good candidates for a while. So when he saw Li Gang, Li Gang was very experienced. He assisted the prince in the Eastern Palace during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui. Although there were many failures, Li Shimin did not dislike him.
After all... although he will be done with someone assisting him, he should be able to succeed once when he comes to his own place.
So, he issued a direct order to serve as the Zhanshi Office and assist Li Chengqian.
I have to say that Li Gang's level is still enough, but his luck is a bit bad, which is similar to the Chen family.
When Chen Zhengtai first met this rumored uncle, he couldn't help but sigh, no matter what, he is also an old senior, a colleague of our Chen family.
What's more, in history, Li Gang was about to die in four years of Zhenguan. Seeing Li Gang step on the coffin, Chen Zhengtai felt that he should respect him more.
Li Gang's hair was white at this time, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked very energetic.
He was not happy when he heard that Chen Zhengtai became a young secretary. Instead, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and said to the people around him: "Whoever Chen is close to him will be unlucky. Besides, Chen Zhengtai is a person whose eyes are in the eyes of money. He will mislead His Highness the Crown Prince."
The officials were all timid and said yes, but they couldn't help but mutter, "Staff Secretary, you, are you sure you are not guilty of saying this?"
Of course, no one in the East Palace dared to commit suicide in front of Li Gang like this.
So, when Chen Zhengtai arrived at the Zhan Shifang, he saw a man with white hair and hair sitting down, and the left and right were the concubines of Chunfang. In addition, there were also civil and military ministers from the Three Temples and Seven Regiments Houses, which felt very powerful.
When Chen Zhengtai saw Li Gang, he smiled and said, "The lower official Chen Zhengtai has met Li Zhan Shi. The great name of Li Zhan Shi is well-known and has been famous for a long time."
Li Gang looked at Chen Zhengtai up and down, his face looked faint, and he nodded: "Oh, I'll be fine after seeing it. I'm old and weak and sick. I need less soldiers to share more worries in the affairs of the East Palace."
"Where, where." Chen Zhengtai said happily: "This is the duty of the lower officials."
Li Gangmei raised his eyebrows: "The prince is the head of the Eastern Palace. We assist the prince, which is of great importance. Therefore, the first thing the official of the Eastern Palace is to do is to never let the prince be naughty and urge him to do well. The Spring House should pay special attention to this point. As for the affairs of the Eastern Palace, it is also necessary to Chongwenguan, the Jingju Bureau, the Dianche Bureau, the Medicine Bureau, the Inner Bureau, the Diancha Bureau, the Diancha Bureau, the Palace Gate Bureau, and the Palace Gate Bureau. As for the Jialing Temple, the temple chief ministers and the chief clerks of the Shi Geng Temple, the Master of the Master of the Master of the Master of the Shrine and the Master of the Shrine, be careful. The Qilu Mansion has recently added a Erpigou Mansion, right? This East Palace is not an idle military mansion. We must strictly enforce military orders and must not cause trouble."
There were eighty or ninety officials above and below. After listening to Li Gang's order, they bowed one after another: "Promise."
Li Gang immediately sighed: "Sister-in-law."
Chen Zhengtai glanced at Li Gang: "What else does Li Zhan have to give?"
Li Gang said: "You are a newcomer. There are many rules in the Zhanshi Mansion and the officials are complicated. Don't focus on the office first, but learn the rules first. The first thing you need to learn is to be harmonious with your colleagues."
"The Eastern Palace is no better than other places. This is where the crown prince is, and it is where the dragon is. Therefore... there are many people staring at it. Therefore, if there are any disputes inside, it will be the focus of the world. Therefore, you must not have any rumors of disagreement among the officials in the palace. Therefore, you must first recognize people and learn to live in harmony with others."
He made a big statement, meaning he was worried about Chen Zhengtai, for fear that Chen Zhengtai would come to Zhan Shi Mansion and make the inside turmoil.
Of course... there is also some intention to be awesome. After all, Li Gang has been in the Eastern Palace for decades. He is old-fashioned. He assisted three princes, crossed two dynasties, and killed two former princes. With such experience, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can compare with.
The implication is that you, Chen Zhengtai, are still young. Although you are a young secretary, study hard first, and be in charge of the business... I have a husband.
Chen Zhengtai was not angry, but immediately bowed: "Li Zhanshi is right. The subordinate must follow Li Zhanshi's instructions and be kind to others."
Li Gang didn't expect that Chen Zhengtai would admit defeat immediately, so he changed into a smile and sighed: "I have some fate with your Chen family. Your great-grandfather, grandfather, and your father have all dealt with. They are all people who are responsible for their duties. I hope you will do the same."
As he said that, he waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."
The officials were timid and surrendered one after another.
Everyone is so proud of Li Gang that he dares not show off. This is a real old experience. If you have an old family, you will not be able to have such qualifications even if you live for another hundred years.
Li Gang then lowered his head, began to pick up the documents and report them one by one, and picked up the pen to review them. The East Palace was a large institution, so big that ordinary people just recognized the officials of the East Palace, and they were confused.
But Li Gang was calm and calm. He needed to ask about what happened in all the official offices here.
Everyone came out of the Secretary James' room and breathed a sigh of relief.
But everyone looked at Chen Zhengtai with strange eyes.
This young secretary has been famous for a long time, and looking at him, he has risen to the top at a young age, which is really enviable.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "Everyone, everyone... don't rush to leave first. I am the first to come. Today I happen to deal with everyone. Didn't Li Zhanshi say that? You should be kind to others. Come on... come on..."
Chen Zhengtai said while subconsciously touching his sleeve.
