Are you stupid?

It was night, and the torrential rain that had lasted for five days finally stopped.

Because of the heavy rain, Emperor Taixing, who couldn't be arty and sighed a few times, "spring rain is as expensive as oil", finally stretched his brows and held a banquet that night.

The palace was very lively for a while, the courtiers were full, the food tables were piled with delicacies, and the gold cups and jade cups were intertwined, so it was very lively.After toasting Emperor Taixing one round at a time, the ministers gradually got together in small groups.

Zhang Xi and Wang Hong got together and exchanged cups.

Wang Hong took a closer look at Zhang Xi, then suddenly lowered his voice: "Brother, the depression between his brows has dissipated."

Talking to a smart person saves the most effort. You don't have to say everything to understand.Zhang Xi immediately heard that the real meaning of Wang Hong's words was to ask him whether the matter of the court being excluded from the center of power had been resolved.

Holding the pot, Zhang Xi poured a glass of wine for Wang Hong with his own hands, respectfully drank it, and pointedly said: "Thanks to brother who strongly recommended my daughter to enter the palace."

Wang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Brothers will eventually be followed by younger brothers, and fathers will be followed by sons. It's still my elder brother who handles everything well, and my younger brothers are not as good as me."

Zhang Xi and the Wei family are at odds, but Wei Yan has outstanding talent and is completely selfless in dealing with things, even if he always speaks to make Emperor Taixing uncomfortable, but his character is so good that Emperor Taixing relies on him.

After the old Zhongshu Ling Zhou Ji begged for the bones, the position of Zhongshu Ling was vacant.

Emperor Taixing had intentionally appointed Zhang Xi to fill in the vacancy. Everyone in the court knew that Zhang Xi liked Emperor Taixing the most when he spoke and acted. Zhang Xi has no experience in foreign employment, so according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is not fit to be an official.

Loving the house and Wu, Emperor Taixing naturally didn't think that Zhang Xi never let him go out because he was greedy for the comfort of Beijing, but thought it was a coincidence. He immediately called the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to ask where there was a vacancy, and sent Zhang Xi to any governor of the state to practice.

——The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the selfless Wei Yan.

Wei Yan has always hated flattering and flattering villains, so Zhang Xi was naturally displeased.

He sorted it out in his mind and mentioned the Kanto state.

In recent years, there has been little rain in the Kanto region. Although the land has not been desolate for thousands of miles, the annual harvest is not enough to pay taxes.Any official who wanted to completely appease the people in the past would have to spend countless efforts.

Zhang Xi is greedy for life and afraid of death, he just wants to enjoy wealth and honor, so he refuses to pass obediently.

But in front of Emperor Taixing, Zhang Xi couldn't turn his back on him, so he had to accept the appointment with a stiff smile, and in private, he hurriedly invited officials with close relatives in the court to discuss a solution.

At that time, His Majesty was choosing a concubine, Wang Hongjian took the lead and made a bad move for Zhang Xi.Let Zhang Xi marry his daughter to the palace, so that as an in-law, he will be busy arranging the marriage between his daughter and His Royal Highness, and after a year and a half of tossing, he will definitely not have to go to the post.

Zhang Xi agrees with Wang Hong's point of view, and sees the success of some operations, not wanting His Royal Highness to break his neck and die.

Wang Hong thought that Zhang Xi had resigned to his fate, and was going to pack his bags and go to Kanto to take up his post.Unexpectedly, he was really a warrior who dared to fight against fate—when his elder brother died, he immediately turned his brains on the idiot younger brother, and even put on a confident look.

Zhang Xi smiled lowly, "Your Majesty has today, thanks to the Queen's help. Your Majesty is a nostalgic person. Even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, he will always set aside ten days every month to rest in Queen Cui's room, for fear that the Queen will be angry. The prince must It came from the son of Cui, and now His Royal Highness is gone, the remaining Second Highness is stupid, and Third Highness is weak. If you were the father of the family, how would you choose?"

Wang Hong suddenly realized, and finally understood why Zhang Xi was willing to marry his daughter to a fool.

Firstly, His Highness the Third Highness is weak, and he may die someday, so he may not survive Emperor Taixing; Second, because His Highness Third Highness is weak, the imperial physician clearly stated that women should not be allowed to get close to vent their yang energy, otherwise their lives would be lost. He will also have no heirs.That being the case, it would be better to marry the Second Highness and have children early. Emperor Taixing took advantage of his prime of life to educate the emperor and grandson to adults, so that even if he died, he would be able to close his eyes with peace of mind.

"The Second Highness is pure in nature and needs support. My niece is really a suitable candidate." Wang Hong smiled and sighed, this time it was his turn to pour wine and toast Zhang Xi.

The two villains got together and muttered uneasy and kind, and the selfless Wei Yan would not be idle.

Seeing that Emperor Taixing was intoxicated with wine and relaxed, Wei Yan stepped forward to toast Emperor Taixing, repeating the old saying, "Your Majesty has decided to let the Second Highness enter the East Palace, why don't you call His Highness to ask about the handling of major political affairs in the first and second dynasties? Let the courtiers feel at ease."

"Okay, it's natural..."

At the end of Emperor Taixing's words, his mind finally turned around, and he was so frightened that he woke up immediately, staring at Wei Yan with his eyes wide open like copper bells.

Not to be outdone, Wei Yan looked back at Emperor Taixing, "Heaven knows the earth, everyone in the world knows, what the Second Highness looks like can't be hidden from others. If the Second Highness can't even handle the government affairs, he won't be able to convince the public. Please think again, Your Majesty."

Emperor Taixing had a headache and recruited a beautiful court lady to massage his forehead, and said in a low voice in embarrassment: "Ayan, you and I have known each other since we were young, and you should understand my difficulties better. ah?"

"There is no small matter in the Tian family. If your majesty chooses a rich and rich land for the second highness to be the king, the minister will have no choice but to be the master of the world. Where is the material for the second highness. Your majesty loves the heart of his beautiful wife and young son. I understand, but I have to continue to think about your majesty's society."

Taixing Emperor fully understood Wei Yan's kindness, but it was even more difficult to understand.

He discussed, "How about choosing Xingye?"

Then the Third Highness who will die at any time and cannot leave a child?

It's not as good as His Highness the Second Fool!

Realizing that Emperor Taixing had killed him and could only choose one of Empress Cui's children, Wei Yan also had a headache. If the Second Highness can handle it clearly on his own, the minister will not stop His Majesty."

"That's fine." Wei Yan backed down, and Emperor Taixing took a step back, allowing his servants to send the memorial that Wei Yan picked out to Chengqing Hall, watching His Highness Second Highness answer within an hour.

The front hall of Emperor Taixing was brightly lit, but the Chengqing Hall where the Second Highness lived was extinguished early.

As a fool, Shenlong has been devoting himself to eating and waiting to die for the past few years, even playing with his fingers in the courses taught by the great Confucianism.

Since he didn't plan to create a deep look of "stupid outside but smart inside" to compete with his elder brother, it is impossible for him to pick up a book and read all night when he is alone.

Shenlong always got up late and went to bed early, except that he didn't need to use his brain to learn martial arts and archery superbly, was always praised by the instructor, and exercised a strong physique, but he was a mess in culture classes.

But a fool, illiterate, only brute force is reasonable.

Today was no different from the past. After having dinner with Empress Cui, Shenlong walked back to the Chengqing Palace on the grounds of digestion and washed up and went to bed.

When the servant Meng Kai held the memorial sent by Emperor Taixing and asked His Highness the Second Highness to answer immediately, he was soundly asleep, and it took half an hour for Bauhinia and Luluo to finally wake him up.

Shenlong was wearing a snow-white silk jacket, sitting in front of the desk, his big eyes misty and dreamy, and his expression was aggrieved.The crimson cloak draped over the youth's immature shoulders gave off an air of frailty. Under the light, his black hair was like black ink, his eyes were like lacquer spots, and his beauty was like jade, making him more graceful and different from ordinary people.

Meng Kai said inwardly, "It's a pity".

His Highness the Second Highness was born with a fine spirit and beauty, but he couldn't open his mind, which ruined his overall demeanor.

"Second Highness, please answer within an hour. Your Majesty has ordered that no one else be allowed to intervene." The servant used his eyes to push back the Bauhinia who wanted to go forward, and then stared at the way out, clearly not allowing anyone to help, and not Go to Empress Cui's palace to report the news.

"Read what's written on it." Shenlong rubbed his eyes and hummed in a childlike voice, his sleepiness made Zijing and Luluo feel bad.

Meng Kai compared the tip of his nose to his own, feeling surprised.

Meng Kai was also a son of a family. The Meng family had pressed the wrong treasure when Emperor Taixing was competing with King Lu. Naturally, there would be no good results when Emperor Taixing ascended the throne.His father and grandparents made mistakes, and the whole branch was blamed. Adult men were exiled, women's family members were confiscated into the teaching workshop, and young children were sent to the palace to serve as servants.

Because of his handsome appearance and soft temperament, Meng Kai was selected to serve Emperor Taixing.

With the friendship between master and servant for many years, even Empress Cui wanted to show some face to Meng, no ordinary person would dare to order him, but in the final analysis, he is just a palace man.

Meng Kai felt that he had acted arrogantly in the past few years because of Emperor Taixing's face.

"Yes." Meng Kai hurriedly lowered his head.

He took the memorial, scanned the ten lines at a glance, and opened his mouth to read.

As we all know, ancient Chinese is concise and concise.In other words, it's not much fun to read.

Shenlong yawned again and again, and after Meng Kai shut up, he looked at him with eyes full of sleepy tears, "It's over?"

Meng Kai: "...It's over."

"If there is a disaster, we will provide disaster relief." Shenlong lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, muttering in a low voice, "This is also a question."

"Second Highness, you can't just talk, you need to write down the answer." Meng Kai couldn't help reminding this innocent little Highness.

"Luluo to write." Shenlong closed his eyes, his long eyelashes covered his eyes, and cast a shadow on his cheeks, making him look more delicate.

"Your Highness, His Majesty asks you to write it yourself."

"Someone can use it, why not? I'll just make a decision." Shenlong opened his black and white eyes and looked at Meng Kai, "Luluo can't write, so you can do it."

He writes?If he wrote it and sent it back, His Majesty might think that he took advantage of his position to communicate with the court and harem!

Meng Kai broke out in a cold sweat, but in desperation had no choice but to let Gong'e take the pen, and went back with an answer that didn't have a few words.

Emperor Taixing knew exactly what level of education the second son had.

Seeing the neat rows of small letters with hairpin flowers on the letter sent up, he immediately laughed angrily, "Meng Kai, you don't understand what I mean, so you help Shenlong send this kind of thing back to fool me ?”

Meng Kai lowered his head and recounted the conversation with His Highness the Second Highness from beginning to end to Emperor Taixing and Wei Yan.

Emperor Taixing laughed loudly after hearing this, "My son can say 'someone doesn't need to do it himself, just make a decision', that's very good. What do you think?"

If someone wants to be the master of the world in the future, it's just a matter of making decisions. If the real thing must be done by himself, what's the use of them as a group of courtiers.

His Highness the Second Highness was obviously lazy, but he hit the right target.

Wei Yan could only agree dryly, "Although His Highness is naive and dumb, he still knows what's going on in his heart."

The author has something to say:

Shenlong: Today is also a good baby who gets up late and goes to bed early and doesn't do homework.

When I woke up, I lost three documents!

Am I not your baby anymore, why did I lose the text, dads love me again!

Thank you for the cute little moji x2, the reversed string moon, and the nine attacks.
