Only magic can defeat magic.

"You go and see him when you have time, and see what he can say."

"only!"

"Your Majesty, I will go too." Hu Xing volunteered.

Liu Xie glanced at Hu Xing, then at Meng Da.

Meng Da blushed, with a look of happiness from falling into the river.

Liu Xie understood and nodded. "Okay, but you can't be violent in the Taiwei Mansion, you have to save some face for Yang Gong."

"Wei!" Hu Xing happily agreed, and poked Meng Da quietly.

"Go, go." Liu Xie picked up the document again and waved his hand.

Meng Da and Hu Xing turned around and left, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, although Mencius is eloquent, he may not be your opponent."

"You know him?"

"Kong Wenju has a very high vision, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch his eyes. Recently, my brother wrote a letter, and he also mentioned this Mi Heng, saying that his literary talent and eloquence are excellent. Otherwise, he would not be so conceited."

Liu Xie thought about it. "Why don't you go?"

"Your Majesty can go. But if Your Majesty wants to take it for his own use, it might be better to go there in person. The ministers are discussing about Zhang Sikong, so Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to make a statement."

Liu Xie was silent for a moment, his tone flat. "What's your statement?"

Zhuge Liang said unhurriedly: "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, fighting without breaking."

"What else?" Liu Xie was still looking at the official document in his hand without raising his head.He has already practiced the ability to do two things at once, otherwise, he would not be able to deal with a large amount of official documents.

"Applying for posthumous posthumous titles for Sikong has become an attitude. Many people support posthumous posthumous titles, not because they agree with Sikong's actions, but to maintain the dignity of the ministers, and they don't want to be regarded as obedient ministers. Your Majesty may not accept them opinions, but their attitudes should be respected.”

Liu Xie turned over a page of the official document. "Kong Ming, you are very determined today. This is not like you."

Zhuge Liang got up from the table and bowed. "I dare you, Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Get up." Liu Xie waved his hand.

"Wei." Zhuge Liang got up and went back to his seat, and suddenly found that his back was covered with cold sweat, and his clothes were sticking to his body, making him very uncomfortable.

After Liu Xie finished reading the document in his hand, he flicked his fingers and made a crisp sound. "When will Yanzhou Mu arrive?"

Pei Jun on the side said, "It's either tomorrow afternoon or the morning after tomorrow."

"Soon." Liu Xie nodded in satisfaction. "A talent who can afford it and let it go."

-

Cai Yan stretched her waist and pushed her arms backwards.The sore muscles stretched, she couldn't help but snorted, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the rare comfort.

"Aheng, pour me a glass of water!"

Yuan Heng responded, got up and went out.After a while, footsteps sounded again.Cai Yan opened his eyes, only to find that the person in front of him was not Yuan Heng, but the Son of Heaven, holding a glass of water in his hand.

She was startled, and quickly got up and left the table, bowing down on the ground. "Your Majesty, how can I bear it?"

"Can't bear it?" Liu Xie turned around the large desk and sat down on the seat Cai Yan had just sat on.There is also Cai Yan's body temperature on the cushion.Liu Xie brought the water glass to his mouth with one hand, took a sip of water, and flipped through the papers covered with papers with the other hand. "Sikong's biography hasn't been written yet?"

Cai Yan looked distressed. "Not yet, I'm almost dying of worry."

"Really?" Liu Xie snorted. "I really didn't see it."

Cai Yan thought of how she looked just now, and felt embarrassed.

"Looking at it like this, you won't be able to write it in a short time?"

Cai Yan nodded helplessly. "Your Majesty is incompetent, please punish me."

"If you can't write it, who else can?" Liu Xie raised his head. "Do you think Kong Wen can't hold it?"

Cai Yan's eyes lit up, and then he said: "Kong Wenju must be talented enough, but he is in Pengcheng..."

"You really don't hear anything out of the window." Liu Xie shook his head. "He has been in Chang'an for several days, and he is now in Taiwei's Mansion."

Cai Yan opened his mouth, a little embarrassed.

"You sort out the collected materials and send him a copy tomorrow."

"Wei." Cai Yan rejoiced in his heart.Finally got rid of this shit.It's not that she can't write, it's that she can't write the biographies that the veterans want.Apart from the virtue of never leaving the emperor, Zhang Xi really has nothing worth writing about.

Li De, meritorious service, and Li Yan, he is not sticking to the three.

ability?According to what the emperor said just now, I really didn't see it.

This kind of person is not qualified to enter the history at all, and now she has to force her to be elevated, which makes it difficult for her who takes Dong Hu and Shi Qian as examples.

"Is it a relief?"

"Ah... ah." Cai Yan couldn't help laughing. "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, all the ministers are planning to flee from office."

"Unpromising!" Liu Xie also laughed, and then said: "I hope Kong Wenju will not be so unpromising and successfully complete this task."

Cai Yan couldn't hide his joy when he thought of Kong Rong's mood when he received this task. "The minister will personally deliver it tomorrow morning."

Liu Xie shook his head again and again. "You'd better not go, lest you get angry again."

"Why?"

Liu Xie was silent for a while. "I reckon that Sikong died suddenly because he was scolded to death. He hurried to Chang'an just to make up for his mistakes, inherit Sikong's will, and speak out for the Kwantung scholar-bureaucrats. He dare not directly oppose Dutian, but he can oppose women. An official. If you can’t write a biography of Sikong, you can only let him do it for you, and you have to go in person, so you will come to the door to be scolded.”

Cai Yan suddenly felt a little depressed.

She failed to complete the task assigned by the emperor, which disappointed the emperor.

What should Kong Rong do if he took this opportunity to attack the emperor and oppose the New Deal?

"Your Majesty, let me finish this biography. If someone has to be scolded, it's better for me to be scolded than for Your Majesty."

Liu Xie sneered. "When they scold you, doesn't that mean scolding me?"

Cai Yan sighed. "Even so, the minister is obliged."

Liu Xie stared at Cai Yan for a while, then smiled. "Don't worry, they can't scold me. Also, you've been bored for too long, it's not good for your health. Follow me out of the palace tomorrow and relax."

Chapter 674

Cai Yan was surprised.

This is the first time that the emperor mainly let her accompany him.

As a civil servant, she has to deal with a lot of paper work every day, so she really doesn't have much time to go out.It was better when she was in Liangzhou, but after returning to Guanzhong, she became a house girl completely, and even her skin, which had been roughened by the strong wind in Liangzhou, was moisturized.

"Your Majesty, minister..." Cai Yan hesitated.

She is very grateful for the emperor's support, but it seems inappropriate at such a sensitive time.

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows. "Do you want to resist the imperial edict?"

Cai Yan was taken aback, and said in response: "I dare not. I just..."

Liu Xie stood up. "Since you don't dare, then it's a deal. It's windy outside, so wear more clothes tomorrow." After speaking, he walked out without waiting for Cai Yan's answer.

Yuan Heng held the tea tray and stood aside respectfully. Seeing the Son of Heaven going out, he walked over quickly. "Sir, what a great opportunity this is, how can you refuse? You must go."

Cai Yan was a little embarrassed. "What do you know, now...now..."

Yuan Heng smiled and said nothing, turned around and asked someone to prepare clothes for Cai Yan to wear tomorrow.Cai Yan had no one to explain to, and she didn't want to talk about it.She returned to the seat, flipping through the documents on the case subconsciously, but her mind was in a mess.

After a while, she suddenly felt warmer under her body than usual.After thinking about it, I remembered that the emperor was sitting here just now, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth also rose.

-

The next day, Cai Yanbing divided into two groups, accompanied Liu Xie out of the city, and sent someone to send a prepared document to Taiwei's mansion and hand it over to Yang Biao.

The reason why the Son of Heaven did not decide on the posthumous posthumous title of the late Sikong Zhang Xi was because Lantai had limited documents, and the history of this order was not very familiar with Zhang Xi, so it was impossible to determine Zhang Xi's virtues and achievements.Today, according to the emperor's oral order, the fake Taiwei and Situ supplemented to complete the biography and prepare for the posthumous posthumous title.

Cai Yan asked someone to tell the story again. The emperor heard that Kong Rong had come to Chang'an, and he wanted Kong Rong to complete this biography.

After Yang Biao received the materials, he immediately invited Kong Rong.

Kong Rong was overjoyed, and immediately expressed his inescapable duty, willing to take on this task, and write a good biography for Zhang Xi, which will go down in history.

Yang Biao smiled wryly. "Wenju, do you think Cai Yan's inability to write a biography is due to insufficient literature?"

Kong Rong disagreed and raised his hand. "She takes a woman as an official, and it's all a gift from the emperor. It's normal not to dare to disobey her wishes. It doesn't matter whether I become an official or not. As long as I can make Zhang Jili rest in peace, I will die."

"You, I still don't know the means of the emperor. If you let you get what you want, how can he get to where he is today?"

Kong Rong lowered his face. "Wen Xian, what do you mean by that? Are you proud?"

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, and also a little frustrated.He didn't argue with Kong Rong, but sent someone to invite Situ Zhaowen.

Situ Mansion is next door, and Zhao Wen will come soon.After hearing Yang Biao finish the whole story, he smacked his lips like Yang Biao, expressing that this matter is not simple.

The emperor handed over the difficult problem to them, and left behind.If it is not handled well, let alone asking for a posthumous posthumous title for Zhang Xi, the entire court will be shaken.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wen said another sentence in passing. "It's the same as the party prison back then."

As soon as he said that, Yang Biao knew that something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.

Kong Rong jumped up, pointed at Yang Biao and Zhao Wen, and shouted: "I knew you were too influenced by the emperor, and forgot the teachings of the sages, so you just wanted to be safe. Don't worry about this biography, I'll write it. If something goes wrong, I am in charge."

Watching Kong Rong walk away with the document in his arms, Yang Biao sighed.

Zhao Wen remained calm, stroking his beard with poise.

"I heard that the emperor left the palace and went to Shanglinyuan."

Yang Biao was slightly taken aback.

The new year is approaching, and everything is complicated, even if there is no posthumous title for Zhang Xi, all the governments are too busy.The palace is no exception. I heard that the official documents have piled up into mountains these days.

Why is the emperor still in the mood to go hunting in the palace?

Zhao Wen smiled, and said again: "I also heard that Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao may arrive in Chang'an this afternoon."

Yang Biao reacted. "You mean, the emperor might meet Cao Cao in Shanglin Garden."

Zhao Wen nodded. "Avoid us."

Yang Biao cast a glance at Zhao Wen. "do you have any plans?"

"Since the emperor entrusted us with the biography of Ji Li, no matter what, we should thank you, what do you think?"

Yang Biao understood and nodded solemnly. "Emperor Shengming, trust us, we should naturally reciprocate. Let's go!"

-

Cai Yan rode a maroon mare and followed Liu Xie with a happy face.

After being bored in Lantai's study for so long, when I suddenly came to the open field of Shanglin Garden, my heart widened and my whole body became energetic.

"Has Your Majesty any poetry lately?"

Liu Xie laughed out loud. "It's not like you don't know that I've been toiled by official officials for the past few days, and I'm miserable, so I don't have the mood to write poetry."

Cai Yan pursed his lips and smiled.Although she didn't go to see the emperor recently, she also knew what happened to the emperor.Because of Zhang Xi's matter, the ministers and ministers acted in unison and submitted a large number of matters to the emperor, who had to make decisions.

No matter how smart the Son of Heaven is, after all, he has only been in court for a short time, and he has been in command of the army for the past few years. He has limited experience in governance, and he was overwhelmed by this large number of affairs all at once.

"It makes the history poetic, so let's appreciate it together."

Cai Yan does have poems, but the emperor is not in the mood to write poems, and she is not good at showing off, so she can only reason that there are poems but no poems, and she has to think again.

As soon as Liu Xie looked up, he saw the statues of Cowherd and Weaver Girl by the Kunming Pool in the distance, and he was immediately blessed.

"I only have two sentences, do you want to hear Ling Shi?"

Cai Yan blurted out. "Aren't His Majesty's poems always only one or two lines?"

Liu Xie was a little embarrassed, I only remembered one or two sentences, what can I do?

"If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?"

As soon as Cai Yan heard it, he immediately noticed Liu Xie's eyes, and then looked at the stone statue in the distance, and suddenly his heart beat, and he said without thinking: "Good poem!"

"Okay?"

"...Okay." Cai Yan also realized something, and suddenly became embarrassed.

"Then I will trouble you to make Shi complete it." The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of complacency.

Copying poems is not difficult, what is difficult is adapting to the occasion.
