Chapter 1371 Deep Meaning
His Majesty Li Er had no unusual expression on his face. He turned to look at Prince Li Chengqian on one side and asked, "What does the Prince think of this calligraphy?"
When King Li Zhi of the Jin Dynasty was writing at his desk, Li Chengqian was watching from the side. When his father asked about it, he nodded and praised: "Although the child slave is still young, his writing power is quite strong and very good." Fang Jun's two works The sentence is also excellent. It is heroic and powerful, and gives people the spirit of inspiration. As long as you persist and work hard enough, even the impossible can be achieved. ”
This is the evaluation of these two sentences by almost everyone, and it is quite satisfactory. However, at this moment, His Majesty Li Er, who had just become suspicious in his heart, heard it, but it was inevitably a bit harsh.
Will all your wishes come true...
As a prince, I probably only have one ideal.
It is true that there is no reason for his suspicion of Fang Jun just now. For Fang Jun, as long as he does not make a big mistake, the position of a prime minister is within his reach. If he can assist the prince well, he will wait until Li Er After the funeral, the prince ascended the throne, and it is not impossible for him to look forward to the future.
Isn't that kid still dreaming about changing dynasties and becoming emperor?
Even if he wanted to, he would never be able to do it. In the Zhenguan Dynasty, there were as many civil servants as rain and as many military generals as clouds. They all came to this world through bloody battles with Li Er in the wind and rain. How could there be room for someone to conspire to tamper with us? Hou Junji and others came off the stage, and we can learn from the past.
Moreover, Fang Jun does not have such an ambitious temperament, nor does he have the patience to work hard in handling government affairs.
Fang Jun has no ambition, so what about the prince?
Although the prince is pure, filial and benevolent, no one understands better how fragile human nature is in the face of absolute power than His Majesty Li Er, who relied on a coup to usurp the throne...
Cen Wenwen looked at the emperor with a strange expression, his heart moved slightly, and he felt a little bad. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, Fang Jun is resigning from Jingzhaoyin and is about to go to the Ministry of War. What about the Dongshi and Kunming Ponds?" Should all the construction be handed over to Ma Fuyin? Also, will the 'Martial Arts Hall', which has been in preparation since last winter, still be presided over by Fang Jun? "
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "You should be relieved of your duties. I haven't even taken up my post yet. Where did Ma Fuyin come from? He is so stupid that it makes people laugh."
Cen Wenwen laughed: "It's just a matter of time."
His Majesty Li Er feels that something is wrong with his state today...
Taking a deep breath, he pushed these inexplicable and complicated thoughts out of his mind, and said: "The construction of Dongshi and Kunming Pool has always been under the responsibility of Jingzhao Mansion. Since Fang Jun was transferred, then Ma Zhou will take over. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that those Officials of Jingzhao Mansion still obey Yu Fangjun? "
The most important thing is to make Ma Zhouqing embarrassed?
"As for the preparations for the 'Martial Arts Hall'... let Fang Jun continue. Fang Jun has always been in charge of this 'Martial Arts Hall'. I gave it directly. It is a bit unfair and the overall authority and responsibilities are unclear." I don't know, this is not a good thing. By the way, the 'Martial Arts Hall' will be placed under the control of the Ministry of War. From now on, Fang Jun will still be solely responsible for training low-level officers in the army."
Naturally no one raised any objection.
The renovation of Dongshi and the preparation and establishment of the "Martial Arts Hall" were all planned by Fang Jun. Now that Jing Zhaoyin's position is gone, the big piece of Dongshi has fallen into Ma Zhou's pocket. If the "Martial Arts Hall" is again I also picked this peach, which is too unscrupulous.
Although the officialdom has its own rules, dealing with people is nothing more than "reasonable" son, and Fang Jun cannot be too embarrassed at this time.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at the delicate and childish King Li Zhi of Jin, and then at the honest-looking Prince Li Chengqian. He felt irritated and waved his hand: "That's it for today. I'm a little tired. I'll go to the palace to take a nap."
< br>
Everyone resigned.
After leaving the Zhuque Gate, the prince invited Cen Wenwen: "I recently got some new tea from the south of the Yangtze River. If Zhongshu Ling is not busy with official duties, would you like to taste it with me?"
Cen Wenwen squinted his eyes and glanced at Jin Wang Li Zhi's carriage gradually disappearing. He shook his head slowly and said meaningfully: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I was unwell yesterday and accumulated a lot of official business. I am in a hurry to go back to deal with it now. Otherwise, To delay His Majesty's important matters have been put aside... But when it comes to the way of drinking tea, Zhang Xuansu, that old stubborn donkey, knows this way well, which is beyond the reach of the old ministers. Why would your Highness invite him to taste it together? Moreover, Prince Zhan Shiyu Zhining also knows it? Not bad.”
When Li Chengqian heard these two names, he suddenly felt dizzy...
Since becoming the Crown Prince, His Majesty Li Er has attached great importance to Li Chengqian, his eldest son. In order to cultivate a qualified emperor, His Majesty Li Er "searched for virtuous people to assist the Crown Prince" and selected more than ten veterans. , famous ministers served as assistant ministers of the East Palace, such as Yu Zhining, Li Baiyao, Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, etc. Cen Wenwen and Ma Zhou were also ordered to go to the East Palace frequently to discuss the past and the present with the prince. Criticize current affairs.
However, His Majesty Li Er has overlooked one point. Although these veterans are talented and loyal, they are all staunch critics...
Since they are critics, they must have bad tempers and hard tempers, so the method of education is worthy of discussion. The remonstrances of Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu and others made Li Chengqian miserable. These three people were almost as sparse as their predecessors, and their words were more fierce than the last, and their words were sharper than the others. It seemed that Li Chengqian was being devalued. It is useless and not enough to achieve the purpose of "stimulation".
That is to say, the situation has improved slightly in the past two years. Under such circumstances, it is strange that Li Chengqian is willing to meet these teachers...
Seeing Li Chengqian's reluctant frown, Cen Wenwen sighed in his heart and said, "Although these two have a bit tougher personalities, Your Highness should also know that they are both loyal and upright people. Although their words are sometimes unpleasant, loyal words are hard to hear." Isn’t it? Your Highness, please take care of yourself. I will leave for now.”
Li Chengqian handed each other off, and when he saw Cen Wenwen's carriage slowly driving away, he slowly figured out a little bit about it...
He is not a fool. Although his heart is against Zhining, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu and others, he also knows that these people really put themselves in his shoes, and every criticism and advice is for his own good. Moreover, Cen Wenwen had some unfinished meaning in what he just said, but he couldn't figure out what the deep meaning was, and he really had to find someone to ask for advice.
He turned around and ordered to his confidants: "Go to Yufu and Zhangfu quickly, invite Master Yu and Master Zhang, and tell them that Guxin has obtained the best new tea from Jiangnan, and invite the two teachers to come to the East Palace to taste it together."
"Here."
The waiter there responded and went to Yu Mansion and Zhang Mansion to invite people.
Li Chengqian got on the carriage, but before waiting for the driver to drive, he got off again. He looked at the tall palace walls of Taiji Palace and the wide and straight sky street at his feet, and said, "It's been a long time since I walked around. It just so happens that the spring is beautiful today, so I can walk alone." Then go back to the East Palace. Also, come to the palace alone in the future. I would like to say hello to my father in the evening. As long as it is not raining, snowing or windy, there is no need to prepare a carriage. I can walk here and back alone, so I can exercise more. I feel like I have gained a lot of fat on my stomach recently. It’s really annoying.”
The servants in the East Palace were confused. Is this His Highness the Crown Prince who used to be tired even every step of the way?
But surprise is surprise, this is a good thing after all. His Highness the Crown Prince's body is becoming more and more bloated, and he is gradually moving closer to His Highness the King of Wei...
Inside the Liangyi Hall.
After all the ministers and princes had retreated, His Majesty Li Er called Wang De over and whispered a few instructions, and then sat behind the desk in silence.
After a while, Wang Decai came back briskly.
"Your Majesty, the prince invited Cen Zhongshu to drink tea in the East Palace. However, Cen Zhongshu declined due to busy affairs. However, he said that the prince's right concubine Zhang Xuansu and the prince Zhan Shi Yu Zhining are both good at this. They can invite these two and the prince Let’s taste new tea together.”
Wang De replied in a low voice.
His Majesty Li Er had no expression on his face and asked: "What did the prince say?"
"The prince didn't want to petition at first, but Cen Zhongshu gave a few words of advice and sent people to invite the two..."
His Majesty Li Er was slightly surprised: "The prince can actually listen?"
Whether it is Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others, they are all the most upright and honest people in the world. However, they are too upright and can't show any slack. They often come to complain to the prince. The situation made him very helpless.
Naturally, he knew how much the prince was against these ministers, and wished he could stay as far away as possible. Not only did the minister persuade him, but how many times did he tell him about this matter?
Today I actually listened to Cen Wenwen’s advice...
But as long as you listen to the advice, that's a good thing.
Wang De said again: "The prince also said to the left and right, from now on, if it is not raining, snowing and windy, everyone will come from the East Palace to Dauchi in the evening..."
His Majesty Li Er was silent, feeling really pleased, and asked: "Where is King Jin?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin took a carriage and went to the Duke of Zhao's Mansion..."
His Majesty Li Er looked deeply and remained silent.
After a long time, he sighed softly, with a troubled look on his face: "Auxiliary machine, auxiliary machine, you have given me a huge problem..." (End of Chapter)
