Chapter 3041: Appoint an official and make a wish
Chapter 885: Appointment and Wishes
His Majesty Li Er looked at Zhu Suiliang with great interest and said with a smile: "Why, even if you are a good person, you should also imitate Wei Xuancheng and be a critic who outright remonstrates with you?"
How dare Zhu Suiliang say that this is indeed the case?
Cheng Cheng said in fear: "I don't dare! Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is a holy king through the ages. Why do you need others to preach? I just want to remind you what your majesty thinks. I definitely don't dare to teach your majesty how to do it."< br>
"Hey!"
His Majesty Li Er, Long Yan was delighted: "I naturally know what should be done and what should not be done."
Zhu Suiliang's method of admonition seemed much more comfortable to him. As a minister, he not only has the responsibility to remonstrate and rebuke, but also has the intention to protect the emperor. Like Wei Zheng, who went out of his way to remonstrate without any understanding of the emperor's feelings. In addition to establishing a good reputation as a "critic", It even put the emperor in a "faint" situation.
In this regard, Zhu Suiliang did more like Fang Jun.
Well, it's better than Fang Jun. After all, Fang Jun sometimes has a bad temper and doesn't give him the face of the emperor at all...
Feeling comfortable, he continued: "It's rare to receive advice from a good person, so I will follow the good advice, pass on the order, pack up, and return to Jian'an City early tomorrow morning."
"Here!"
Zhu Suiliang was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the servants on the side to go and clean up.
His Majesty Li Er sat up, waved his hand to repel the two beauties, took a sip of wine, called Zhu Suiliang forward, and said kindly: "Sit down."
"Here."
Zhu Suiliang sat on a stool nearby, with his buttocks licked, his upper body slightly leaning forward, maintaining a respectful look, and listened to the holy teachings.
His Majesty Li Er was leaning on the soft couch and asked with a smile: "I transferred you from the academy to accompany my imperial commander on the expedition. Do you feel dissatisfied?"
Zhu Suiliang said hurriedly: "The thunder and rain are all your kindness! I am full of gratitude and admiration for Your Majesty. How can I have any disrespect at all? If so, I will be struck by lightning and I will not die well!"
These words are really not flattering, that's what I think in my heart.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hands and said with a smile: "You and I are the only ones here. It's better to say less of these words in the future. I'm not too broad-minded to be able to listen to what is said from the bottom of my heart. You are the secretary in the academy, and I am the roommate. Jun Gongrong is in charge of all affairs and has great power, but now he travels with the army, and it is normal to have some resentment. ”
Zhu Suiliang was about to cry. Your Majesty, you probably don't know what kind of life I lived in the academy, right?
Pointing to the sky, he swore: "Your Majesty has learned clearly that I would rather follow your Majesty to the ends of the earth than return to the academy! The Duke of Yue acts domineeringly and willfully, and will never allow others to comment on his words and deeds. Xu Jingzong is an old strategist. Calculated and shameless, these two men controlled the affairs of the academy and ostracized dissidents. The ministers were in fear every day, fearing that they would be tricked by them if they were not careful. It was like a year. ”
It was only today that he finally got the chance to talk about this bitterness.
After all, Fang Jun is His Majesty Li Er's most trusted son-in-law. If the timing is not right, I am afraid that I will definitely make His Majesty dissatisfied...
As expected, His Majesty Li Er frowned and said: "Although Fang Jun is a bit domineering, he is not unreasonable. Although he is the same academy director as you, he is the Duke of the current dynasty after all, and his title is higher than yours. Even if it goes too far sometimes, you should give in. Of course, if this guy gets into trouble with his wanton behavior, I will certainly not forgive him.”
Although Zhu Suiliang was not very talented in politics, he was definitely not a fool. Otherwise, he would not have achieved such high achievements in the academy. When he heard this, he burst into tears and nodded: "I know this."
What else can you say?
Just by hearing the name "that guy", it can be seen that His Majesty Li Er really relies on Fang Jun as his confidant and is very close to him. Although I have won His Majesty's favor because of my calligraphy achievements, it is obvious that I cannot compare with Fang Jun's status in His Majesty's heart.
If you continue to "complain" at this time, wouldn't you be a fool...
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and felt that Zhu Suiliang not only had great literary talents and extremely high achievements in calligraphy, but also served him with dedication and responsibilities, which was quite effective, so he said: "When the Eastern Expedition is victorious and the victory returns to the court, I will resign as the Secretary of the Academy. , I promise you to take charge of the Hongwen Hall and be promoted to the position of Vice Minister of Zhongshu.”
Since he is his favorite person, it is not good for him to stay in the academy. Fang Jun has always been domineering with one hand, so how can Zhu Suiliang stand it?
Zhu Suiliang burst into tears with gratitude, stood up and bowed his head to the ground: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
In fact, he did not have much political ambitions. He preferred to serve the emperor and do some consultant work. It was indeed not his strength to let him go to the academy to compete with Fang Jun on his own.
The official position of Zhongshu Shilang is just right. As an official in the province, you can see the emperor all the time. Jane is in the emperor's heart. Maybe after ten or eight years, he can be promoted to Zhongshu Ling and become one of the imperial ministers...
As for being in charge of the Hongwen Hall, it was an even more coveted official position and could not be appointed except by the emperor's confidants.
It can be seen from this that my status in His Majesty's mind is still as stable as Mount Tai...
After chatting for a while, His Majesty Li Er yawned, obviously a little exhausted, and said: "Tomorrow morning, send a team of forbidden troops to escort the two beauties back to Chang'an and place them in the Taiji Palace. You can handle this matter yourself. , don’t let others know.”
He has been used to seeing the most beautiful girls in his life, and there are many beauties from Goguryeo in the palace as tribute, so naturally he will not forget the two women. It's just that he is the emperor. How can a woman who has been favored by the emperor be allowed to live among the people and be enjoyed by other men in the future?
For such women, either kill them or bring them into the palace.
Of course, killing him would not be a problem. His Majesty Li Er is not a merciful person, but he is not willing to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he can only keep him in the palace.
But he must also keep a low profile and be careful. If the news leaks out, the imperial officials in the court will have to impeach him for not doing his job properly and being ignorant and immoral. When the emperor was on a personal expedition, he had two women sleeping with him. This was something that Emperor Sui Yang had never done. The goddam thing...
Zhu Suiliang hurriedly responded: "If you obey my orders, I will definitely arrange them properly."
He had the same idea as His Majesty Li Er, except that once the news leaked out, His Majesty Li Er would face the impeachment of the imperial censor, and he might face scoldings such as "sycophant" and "traitor" , maybe the Yushitai group will rise up and write a letter demanding "Qing Jun's side"...
His Majesty Li Er yawned again, waved his hands, and said with drooped eyelids: "Okay, please step back. I will take a nap to recharge my batteries."
After saying this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
I remember that he spent one night guarding several women, and the next day he was still heroic and commanding the army to fight everywhere. Now that he only favored two women, he felt exhausted and unable to continue. Time really is not forgiving.
……
The next morning, His Majesty Li Er rested all night and finally regained some energy. After getting up, he washed and ate under the service of the chamberlain, put on his headgear and armor, and tied the sword carefully around his waist. He looked majestic and majestic. Full of momentum.
Zhu Suiliang entered and reported: "Before dawn, Wei Chen had sent a team of forbidden troops to escort the two beauties back to Chang'an. He also wrote a letter to Wang De, the chief chamberlain, asking him to arrange them properly to avoid any problems."
His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Wang De is cautious and must be safe."
Zhu Suiliang said again: "The soldiers have been assembled. When will your Majesty set out?"
His Majesty Li Er put down the bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and said: "Let's set off now! The Eastern Expedition is a major event and cannot be delayed for a moment."
Zhu Sui cursed in his conscience, who said yesterday that it would be okay to delay for a few days and wait until all the troops were supplied before attacking Anshi City from the east?
But to say this now is to seek death...
As His Majesty Li Er walked out of the house, the Forbidden Army had already assembled in the open space in front of the door. The three thousand Forbidden Army were all strong, brave and good at fighting. They wore helmets and armor and were fully armed. Their horses had iron bits on their heads, and their bodies were There is a layer of black iron armor, the cavalrymen carry crossbows on their backs, cross swords on their waists, and quivers on their saddles. Their military appearance is grand and murderous.
This is the most powerful army in the world. The black armor cavalry that His Majesty Li Er relied on to sweep away the heroes and decisively defeat the Xuanwu Sect!
Seeing this army that is the best in the world, His Majesty Li Er instantly felt so proud!
It was this army that he led back then, which killed Wang Shichong from three thousand to one hundred thousand outside Hulao Pass, and went straight into the Dingding Mountains in Luoyang!
As long as this army exists, his throne will be as stable as Mount Tai, and the country of the Tang Dynasty will be as solid as gold!
His Majesty Li Er strode forward, reached out to take the horse rein handed by the guard, held the saddle with one hand, stepped on the stirrup, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, held the whip in his hand, and clamped the horse's belly suddenly.
"Drive!"
The war horse neighed loudly, its hooves tumbled, and it rushed out like arrows. (End of chapter)
