Chapter 2386 I don’t know what to say
When a person with a shallow mind and a mediocre mind suddenly becomes a high-end player, the feeling of disparity is quite shocking, just like a piece of dead wood suddenly blooming a peony flower, and it is difficult for you to appreciate the flower. So beautiful, I can only be stunned.
Especially when you can't see his depth for a while, this feeling makes it especially uncomfortable for a strong man like His Majesty Li Er who hopes to have everything under control.
After thinking for a while, His Majesty Li Er's eyes did not leave the painting, and he stroked his beard and said: "Ruan Xian's official career was not smooth, not just because Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty was not happy, let alone because he offended powerful ministers, but because he indulged in excessive etiquette, Zhang Yu was known as "the corpse of a vegetarian", although he was not famous in the world. His remarkable political achievements are not those that will be remembered for centuries, but he is highly respected and honest in character. He has never suppressed the later Jin Dynasty, nor has he sold his official position. He can be regarded as a clumsy defender of the city with no merits and demerits. However, most of the later generations praised Zhu Yun's uprightness, and thus promoted Yuzhi everywhere. Nothing.”
Li Yuanjing's eyes flashed, he laughed, and said: "Your Majesty has seen clearly. I only know how to study, but I just follow what others say and follow the crowd. Ruan Xian is talented but cannot be reused. It is precisely because Emperor Wu of Jin knows that his talent is worthy of his dissolute behavior." , an informal temperament may bring instability and disaster to the political situation. Unfortunately, Zhang Yu was able to hold a high position even though he had no talent. This was because Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty did not need Zhang Yu to have any talent for managing the world, nor did he need to perform any shocking deeds. As long as he could sit in office honestly The center, following the emperor's will, is enough to stabilize the court... I have learned a lesson."
Feelings seemed to arise spontaneously, with a look of sadness on his face, and he even adjusted his clothes and bowed to the ground.
It is as if a student has been taught by a great scholar of the time, and he sincerely expresses his gratitude...
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and almost scolded his mother in his heart: What kind of evil has this old man been possessed by today? Why is he talking so mysteriously that it makes people confused?
The more he couldn't figure it out, the more uncomfortable he felt. This feeling of being out of control was really unbearable for him.
But no matter how uncomfortable I feel, I can't even ask calmly, "What kind of medicine did you sell today?"
He could only say vaguely: "In the world, good and evil, right and wrong, right and wrong, have always existed in relative terms. How can there be a truly clear definition? Therefore, when we act, we only want to be worthy of our hearts, the world, and the people. Even if we die, The infamy should be treated as if it were nothing.”
It’s all nonsense anyway, why not clean yourself up?
Li Yuanjing was contemptuous in his heart, but respectful on his face: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true..."
……
The two of them looked at the paintings again, and Li Yuanjing left immediately.
His Majesty Li Er asked him to take the painting away: "This painting is an authentic work by Gu Changkang. It is rare in the world. How can I take it away from others? Liu Lang takes it away quickly. If I want to see it, I can ask you to send it to the palace." Yes.”
He is always unscrupulous when it comes to things he likes, but he never wants to keep them for himself. Although Gu Changkang's paintings are rare, they are not worth it for him.
Li Yuanjing said: "Swords are given to heroes, pink powder is given to beauties. Such rare masterpieces should be owned by someone as beloved as your majesty. If they are left in the hands of my brother, the alliance leader will be covered in dust. My brother is Ruan Xian, who is dining with the pig. , It’s really not possible to get on the stage.”
His Majesty Li Er smiled, Ruan Xian?
Why do I think you want to be Zhang Yu...
*****
Li Yuanjing had been gone for a long time, and His Majesty Li Er sat on the chair and frowned in thought. Even though the scroll was left on the table, he still couldn't figure out the purpose of Li Yuanjing's visit today.
Because of many things in the past, I was afraid that I would deal with him, so I came here specifically to say that I was just Ruan Xian. Although he could not have an official career or occupy the court, he could still travel in the forest, enjoy the mountain springs, and even share the table with pigs.
No, he didn't think Li Yuanjing could have such a palace. If he was really allowed to dine with pigs... he would have to kill all the pigs.
If you want to imitate Zhang Yu, even if you have no real ability, can seizing the position of Prime Minister and Fu make the government stable and the imperial power stable?
That's not right. Just because of your disobedience that you showed earlier, even if you don't want to be executed in Lingchi because of my Bodhisattva heart, you still expect to be able to ascend to the position of prime minister and hold the Tianxian in your hand?
Haha, even if there are no mountains, no mountains, no rivers, no thunder in winter, rain and snow in summer, it’s still impossible...
But although Li Yuanjing has no talent, he is definitely not stupid. How could he not know that he would never let him steal the position of prime minister?
Not just him, but any prince of the clan will never get involved in the position of prime minister. This is a national policy. This position must be reserved for the head of the court. Otherwise, how can we talk about sharing the same enemies and sharing the interests of the internal and external dynasties?
……
He couldn't figure it out, and His Majesty Li Er simply didn't think about it.
He called Wang De, the chief chamberlain, and asked, "Where is Fang Jun now?"
Wang De thought for a while and said: "Normally, at this time, most of the people are still in the Yamen of the Ministry of War. It is almost the time of autumn harvest. There are countless grains and crops transferred to Liaodong from all over the country, and most of them need to be coordinated by the Ministry of War. This work The amount is not trivial, the entire military department is about to spin up.”
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Wang De without any trace. He always felt that sometimes Wang De seemed to speak for Fang Jun intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe it was just a casual comment, but it always sounded inexplicable to Fang Jun's actions. I have a good feeling...
However, he didn't care too much about these. On the one hand, he had absolute trust in Wang De, and on the other hand, he also understood the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. As a close official of the emperor, it is inevitable that some people will lure him with benefits and use power to scheme against him. As long as he can Strictly adhere to the bottom line, do not exceed the rules or go too far, and His Majesty Li Er will naturally muddle along.
He doesn't want to really become a loner...
Then he nodded and said: "What use can he have in the yamen? Cui Dunli, Liu Shi, Du Zhijing, Guo Fushan, these people are all capable ministers and officials. Naturally, these complicated affairs can be handled properly. That boy stays at the Ministry of War all day long. Yamenli , It’s just to show the power and prestige of the superior... You go and call a few guards. Let’s go out of the palace and go to Chengnan Academy. We will call Fang Jun on the way. I want to inspect the preparations of the academy. "
Wang De hurriedly said: "Here!"
I turned around and went out to look for someone, thinking that the imperial guards and the "Hundred Riders" were going to scold me again. Every time the emperor left the palace for a private visit, these people had to tie their courage around their necks and tuck their heads in their belts. The slightest mistake would be a fatal crime.
And not long ago, there was a farce in which a guard was really unbearable that the emperor frequently left the palace, so he used "assassination" to scare the emperor...
After a while, twenty or thirty guards gathered at the palace gate. Half of them, the elite "Hundred Cavalry", took off their military uniforms and put on ordinary clothes. Each of them was a tall man with a horizontal sword on his waist, more like a wealthy family. A slave thug.
His Majesty Li Er also changed into a set of regular clothes. He wore a soft-legged bun on his head and a piece of jasper inlaid on his forehead. He looked very energetic in his sapphire-blue straight skirt. His three-locked long beard was trimmed neatly. He had a square face with thick eyebrows and a calm expression. He walked squarely. Just like the wealthy businessmen who can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.
After meeting so many people, His Majesty Li Er frowned and ordered: "I'm just going out for a walk, not once or twice. Why do so many people walk through the city in such a showy way? If you follow me, you are simply telling those assassins." The emperor is here, is he afraid that no one will assassinate him? The people of Baiqi will stay, and the others will retreat quickly, each performing their duties and strictly guarding the palace."
Everyone must obey the emperor's orders.
As if they had received an amnesty, the guards bowed to accept the order and retreated together.
The elite "Hundred Cavalry" who were left behind were all solemn and solemn, holding horizontal knives in their hands. As for whether they were scolding their mothers in their hearts, at least it was impossible to tell on their faces...
The group of people rode out of Chengtianmen and headed straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in the imperial city.
When he arrived at the door, His Majesty Li Er ordered the accompanying "Hundred Cavalry" to stay outside the door. He got off his horse and entered the gate of the Ministry of War.
Just as the gatekeeper was about to step forward to stop him, Wang De, who was following His Majesty Li Er, had already shown a waist badge. The gatekeeper recognized that it was a royal item and looked at His Majesty Li Er in surprise, then stood at the door obediently. On the other side, the two legs were fighting, shivering.
I actually met the emperor...
His Majesty Li Er came out of the palace incognito every once in a while. He was already accustomed to the surprised looks from the crowd, but now there were not many people who really wanted his life, so there was no need to be trembling and suspicious.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard a loud roar in the main hall of the Yamen directly in front: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, and this is my territory. I just won't give you the seal and ribbon. What can you do to me?"
His Majesty Li Er's face suddenly darkened. Wang De on the side was even more speechless: Fang Erlang, this is not your way of seeking death, right?
