Chapter 31 The Battle for Official Position [VIP]

Mu Huaiyuan and Shenlong held the same view.

In the previous life, Shenlong always maintained the state of a fool. Emperor Taixing worried that his son would not be able to assume the responsibilities of a monarch in the future, so he transferred all the officials who recognized his character back to the central government. Zhang Xi finally failed to take the position of Zhongshuling.Although Shenlong chose to be "sober" in this life, in the eyes of Emperor Taixing, he is still an ignorant child, even if he is a little clever, he lacks too much teaching.

Therefore, no matter the officials of Prince Zhan Shifu or the three masters and three princes, Emperor Taixing would still only choose those courtiers whose words made him uncomfortable, but they would never give birth to half-hearted.

After being canonized as the prince, attending the Great Court Meeting every five days became one of Shenlong's jobs.

Emperor Taixing was also very enthusiastic about taking his son to court together. Last night, Emperor Taixing rested in Fengqi Palace and had the honor to have a snack with nuts and goat milk with his son.

Shenlong used to go to bed early and get up late, and after getting up and exercising, he happened to have breakfast with Empress Cui. Even though Emperor Taixing slept in Fengqi Palace the night before, the father and son never met each other.

When Emperor Taixing saw more than a dozen kinds of stuffed dim sum, he couldn't help feeling: "Why does Shenlong eat so easily?"

In the early morning, there are more than a dozen snacks with different tastes and carefully selected materials, and the goat's milk with nuts that immediately finds a way to remove the fishy smell after being squeezed out is not easy?No wonder there are always courtiers who reprimand his father for extravagance.

Shenlong smiled meekly, as if he had no opinion on Emperor Taixing, and said with a troubled and proud expression: "I only like to eat these three or five kinds. The queen mother always said that no matter how much I like to eat the same kind, I can't always eat it, so I called it " A lot. In fact, I usually eat what I like the most, and I won’t get tired of it.”

Emperor Taixing laughed loudly, patted Shenlong on the back and said, "From now on, you will know how to try more."

He gave Shenlong a look that "men can understand", and Shenlong wanted to blow Emperor Taixing's head off in an instant.

His mother, Empress Cui, was sitting on the side with a smile watching her husband and son eating snacks. Can Emperor Taixing speak yellow accents to his son in front of his wife?

Does he feel that his "favorite food" Empress Cui is already very face-saving?

What a shame!

"Weak water is three thousand, just take one ladle." Shenlong held up the moiré crystal cup filled with nuts and goat's milk longingly, "My son wants to be like his master and his wife, and his love is stronger than gold."

Emperor Taixing suddenly choked with laughter. He coughed hard for a long time, and said happily: "Silly boy, when you grow up, you will understand that there is no such thing as 'love is stronger than gold'. When the wife in front of the classics is gone, He wanted to die, and he swore that he would never marry again, even if he would never marry again. What happened? Anping was young, beautiful, warm and sincere, and helped him. The classics were tidied up by Anping within a few years .”

"No amount of deep affection can consume life and death. Huiji will be hurt, and love will last forever. If you want to like only one woman in the future, I would rather you not like anyone, and treat all the women in the harem as a fun thing—— ——They care about your silk, silk, status and power, and you can get free favor from them." Emperor Taixing expressed his true emotions extremely coldly.

For the first time, Shenlong discovered that even though Emperor Taixing was mediocre, he still did not lack the coldness and cruelty of a superior.

In the eyes of Emperor Taixing, the charming, lively, innocent, or straightforward women in the harem are not real people. They are just tools for fun in front of Emperor Taixing, and have nothing to do with the paperweight that Emperor Taixing likes. the difference.

Shenlong turned his eyes to Empress Cui quietly, and found that the catkins she always put on the armrest had shrunk to the bottom of her sleeves.

The queen mother must have clenched her fists again.

Shenlong held Empress Cui's arm quietly and shook it distressedly. When he let go of his mother, he looked at Emperor Taixing with a stubborn look in his eyes, "Since Father, as long as she is a woman who can please you with her heart, why bother?" Bringing so many women into the palace is just causing trouble for the queen mother. They are cute and coquettish in front of the father and emperor, but they come to Fengqi Palace to compete and be jealous, and they will try to find trouble by taking advantage of the mother's lenient peace."

Emperor Taixing's face changed when he heard the words, he looked at Empress Cui in surprise, and blurted out, "It's not fun for them to come to you, why don't you teach them a lesson? It's just a joke."

In Emperor Taixing's heart, Empress Cui is different from other women. For Emperor Taixing, Empress Cui is a firm companion who has accompanied him through many trials and hardships, and also a comrade in arms who can always help him solve problems when the government affairs make him difficult. .

But "distinguished" is not enough.

Shenlong shook his head heartily.

If Emperor Taixing really paid attention to Empress Cui's inner feelings, then there would not be so many irrelevant women in the harem.The women in the harem can only prove that in Emperor Taixing's heart, his own emotions are always important, and the tears and pain of other people are not worth mentioning.

Although Empress Cui could not be said to be unfeeling and righteous to Emperor Taixing, her heart has long been cold after tossing about the woman he has been favoring for so many years.

After hearing Emperor Taixing's seemingly affectionate but actually selfish nonsense, his emotions gradually eased.

She used the action of punching Shenlong to cover up her son's previous comforting changes, and said with a smile: "It's just a group of girls who don't know the importance. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and works so hard on weekdays. How can we young couples not be considerate?" Yours. I will be more lenient to them, so that they can devote their minds to serving His Majesty, instead of finding ways to make trouble and trouble His Majesty."

"Yingniang, you still know me best."

Emperor Taixing was so moved by Empress Cui's "understanding of righteousness" that he was almost speechless. Without hesitation, he asked Meng Kai to go to the private treasury and bring over thirty bolts of brocade and four complete sets of head and face jewelry. Full of pity and guilt, he took Shenlong to court.

There are many kinds of auspicious clothes for the prince, but going to court is still a common thing for "working at home" for both Emperor Taixing and Shenlong, so he does not need to wear it as if he is going to worship the sky or ancestors. An ordinary flowered jacket with shoulder-length makeup is enough.

Emperor Taixing sat high on the dragon chair, and Shenlong, as the crown prince, also had a position, sitting in front of all the officials.The queue behind him was full of clan relatives in their seventies and eighties with trembling hands and feet.

After saluting with the clansmen with a gentle attitude, Shenlong sat down in the seat and didn't say a word of extraneous words, which made the clansmen who had accumulated a lot of compliments smother their faces.

The prince's position was picked up by the accidental death of his elder brother. The prince's intelligence was accidentally recovered when he went to the Taimiao to pay homage to his ancestors.

As a result, the clansmen showed their favor to him, saying that they would stand by the prince's side and become his shield, but the prince ignored them at all?

Prince, what is wrong with this!

The clan members kept muttering in their hearts, but the civil servants from Qingliu kept nodding their heads.

——After getting a high position, the prince did not become frivolous and arrogant. Although his talent and learning were quite poor, it was not too disappointing.

Autumn is the harvest season, and this year it is rare for the weather to be smooth. Emperor Taixing felt comfortable after hearing the praises from his courtiers.

After confirming that there was nothing to worry about in government affairs, Emperor Taixing said straightforwardly: "I have appointed the crown prince, and I still need the officials of the Sangong and the crown prince Zhan Shifu. Do you have someone in mind?"

Wei Yan said bluntly, "Dian's son-in-law personally instructed the prince for a long time, but I thought that regardless of talent, learning and virtue, Dian's son-in-law is worthy of the prince's protection."

Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, and Prince Taibao are all vain jobs, and even if they are listed among the three princes in the classics, it is not a violation of court rules.

"Zhou Ji was still in Beijing after begging for the bones, and I thought that the old Zhong Shuling was worthy of the position of the third prince." The son was beside the prince, and Gu Jianshi, Gu Nian's relative, the servant of the household department, came out and elected the one who would never go wrong. Candidates.

After Zhou Ji begs for the bones, he grows flowers and grasses every day, attends literary meetings, and lives a happy life like a god. Gu Jian is very envious and wants him to come back to experience the pain of running around for the family's bear child.

Zongzheng listened, and found that Wei Yan and Gu Jian were both veterans of the country, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember General Liu Qian?"

"Liu Qian is still alive?!" Emperor Taixing blurted out, he hurriedly shut up, coughed a few times to cover up, and changed his words, "Is General Liu still in good health? I haven't heard from General Liu for many years."

Although Liu Qian is also surnamed Liu, "Liu" is a common surname. Liu Qian and the royal family have to force their relationship and can only say that "500 years ago, they were one family".His situation is different from that of the ancestors of the Fan family. The Fan family sold themselves to the Tai/zu's mansion because they couldn't survive, and was discovered by the Tai/zu to reuse their talents; He took down three large counties with tens of thousands of households with a post station horse and a few rusty spears, and defended the city as a city. After rejecting three heroes, he worshiped the Tai/Zu and became an invincible member. the general.

Even though Liu Qian was illiterate at the beginning, after he became well-off, he respectfully and politely begged his husband to read and write, and made up his cultural lessons.When the world was settled, he immediately handed over his authority, and he was at ease as a military officer who only said "what your Majesty said is true" in the court, and was busy going home to give birth and take care of the children.

Liu Qian was barely the same age as his sons when he joined Tai/Zu's command, but he really didn't have a sense of existence. He had made great military achievements, but he just stayed at home all day long and never published his personal profile in the court.A few years after Emperor Taixing ascended the throne, Liu Qian resigned due to injury and returned home to recuperate. Emperor Taixing agreed without thinking.

After so many years, if Zongzheng hadn't mentioned it, Emperor Taixing would have almost forgotten Liu Qian's name.

Liu Qian is also an old man now, and he has nothing but an empty title on him, so he is really suitable to be the three guarantees of the prince.

The candidates were all suitable. Emperor Taixing didn't hesitate much, and decided on the candidates according to the proposal. Wang Hong saw that Emperor Taixing intended to promote officials today, and after meeting Zhang Xi's eyes, he immediately stepped out, and said with a worried look: "Your Majesty, the position of Zhongshu Ling is vacant, and it is inconvenient to run various affairs in the court. Please, Your Majesty, decide on a candidate as soon as possible."

Emperor Taixing didn't realize Wang Hong's deep meaning, still with a smile on his face, he said unconsciously: "Of course I still prefer Zhang Xi, he does things according to my wishes, but doesn't Zhang Xi have no experience in going to other places for training? Wei Yan, I remember that you have been in the Ministry of Officials for two or three years, and it is time to change your position. You are very familiar with officials, big and small, in the court, why don't you come to be the official secretary."

"Chen..." Wei Yan was happy in his heart, but he could still control the expression on his face.

But before Wei Yan could open his mouth, Wang Hong, who was the first to speak, had already yelled, "Your Majesty, it was Wei Shangshu who opposed Zhang Xi's promotion at the beginning, and now that Wei Shangshu is the order of Zhongshu, I am afraid that people will think that as long as they sue him, they are qualified." If you are an official, you can climb to a high position by yourself. The minister thinks that this matter is inappropriate."

Emperor Taixing hesitated immediately, "It's true."

Wei Yan turned his head and looked at Zhang Xi and Wang Hong, and the hall was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
