Chapter 118

The five liberal arts examinations will not end until sunset at least. His majesty has no time to sit on the commanding platform for a day. After the examiners handed out the test papers, the emperor stayed for a while and then left. Luo Weiran followed with the imperial bodyguard, but there was no doubt that the eunuch named Su Buwei was always the closest to the emperor.

Before the death of the eunuch Wu Peisheng, who used to hold a pen, no one paid attention to the eunuch named Su Buwei. Shortly after Wu Peisheng's death, he jumped from an unknown eunuch to the most powerful Eunuch in the palace city. Although it's just an official position from the sixth grade, no one can deny that his clothes from the sixth grade are not inferior to the purple official clothes of those senior officials of the third and fourth grades in the imperial court.

The emperor's near attendants often have a greater impact on the Emperor than the officials of the imperial court.

Most importantly, he knew the emperor better than everyone else.

Luo Weiran walked behind and looked at the eunuch who even walked slightly forward. Even he, as the commander of the bodyguard, had no special attention to the eunuch before. What made him somewhat helpless and vigilant was that he knew nothing about the strength of the eunuch.

However, since his majesty chose him as a pen eunuch, it proves that this man is by no means a bag of wine. Luo Weiran was not so alert to Wu Peisheng, because he knew Wu Peisheng. Even a rare talisman with seven grades of strength still does not pose any threat in front of people like him. Su is not afraid of difference. He doesn't know the depth and details... Maybe no one knows this guy except his majesty.

"Let Fang Xie go directly to Changchun Garden. I still have a lot to deal with."

The Emperor gave an order, and Su Buwei quickly agreed, and then sent a small eunuch to deliver a message. Luo Weiran couldn't help picking at the corner of his mouth when he heard the name Fang Xie. The young man became a figure on the cusp of the storm in the short time he entered Chang'an city. His experience was so strange that I really didn't know whether to say he was unlucky or lucky. After all, it's enough to make many people jealous that he is such a small person that his majesty can remember from time to time these days.

How many officials and dignitaries have never had a chance to get close to the supreme emperor except when they can take a distant look at the emperor's majesty? Even if he waited for the last court meeting on the 6th and 9th, his majesty did not necessarily look at them. He might not remember them at all.

Fang Xie, a scout from the border town, was called into the vault of changchunyuan twice in such a short time, which was enviable anyway.

The emperor's car left the martial arts academy in a low-key way, and the adults such as Shangshu Shilang had to return to their respective ministries and Yamen to work. However, several university students stayed and waited for the end of the five liberal arts exams. Because they are all honorary professors of the Academy of martial arts, they can't leave easily on such a big day. After the exam, they also have to mark the papers with the professors of the martial arts academy.

When Fang Xie received the order, the emperor's car had left the gate of the martial arts academy. No one would have guessed that the present emperor was sitting in the ordinary looking carriage that drove into the martial arts academy just now. At this time, his majesty suddenly changed his mind.

"Let Fang Xie catch up and I'll see him in the carriage."

Su Buwei was stunned. After thinking about it, he gently reminded him, "isn't it a little early for him to get on his Majesty's carriage? After all, his status is too low now. If he has too much honor, it won't do him much good."

The emperor smiled and said, "your eyes are so poisonous!"

Su Buwei bowed his head and said with a smile, "the maid just looked at his Majesty's love for the young man, so she said more. He is just a border soldier with little experience and no foundation, and Chang'an city is... Too big for him."

"Well..."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Just as you said, Fang Xie is the most interesting young man I've seen in recent years, though he was born in a humble background. Compared with him, those young talents who were born with great fame seem too impetuous. Just now you secretly saw the little trap set by Prince Yi, and didn't you praise him very much. I'm going to use troops in the northwest, I'm afraid it's the foundation of the great Sui Dynasty The biggest war in the past... At this time, I must set an example for those poor children to see. As long as they have talent and learning, they can be appreciated by me. They have hope in their hearts, will do their best and fight... "

The emperor paused and continued, "Su Buwei, do you know the origin of huaiqiugong?"

Su Buwei replied, "as you know, huailao has a poor family background, but he has made great progress. Now he is an elder of three dynasties and has the style of civil service leaders. That is, the two adults are about to shoot. I'm afraid they are a little inferior to huailao."

The emperor nodded and said: "When my grandfather promoted the imperial examination, he faced the distrust of not only those aristocratic families, but also the children of poor families. In the past, the imperial court selected scholars from aristocratic families, and the officials were elected by the descendants of officials. This is by no means a good thing for the imperial court. In the long run, the imperial government will be controlled by those aristocratic families with complex relations. So I My grandfather was determined to carry out the imperial examination and select scholars from poor families... "

"However, the people don't seem to believe that the imperial examination can really turn a person from a humble background into a dignitary. So my grandfather decided to set up a model to show the people that the imperial examination is not a joke or a joke. Huaiqiugong is the lucky man. He has gone through three dynasties, and he is still that model."

The emperor smiled lightly, but said confidently: "My grandfather can set up a model, and so can I. only by making the people firmly believe that the imperial court is fair and just, can the foundation of the great Sui Dynasty last forever. There should be one such model from time to time, not just one... Fang Xie is really young and lacks experience foundation, so I will send him to the martial arts academy instead of Wen Yuan Pavilion, Shu Hua Pavilion, what I'm worried about is... He entered the court early and died early. "

……

……

The emperor seemed to be very talkative. After drinking a sip of tea, he said to Su Buwei, "enter the martial arts academy and let him practice and learn more. If Chang'an city is a melting pot that can eliminate all people who do not adapt to this temperature. Then the martial arts academy is another melting pot in this melting pot, which can not only train people, but also protect people."

Su is not afraid to nod and dare not interrupt.

The emperor said: "He is still young. Although I like this little guy, I haven't promoted him at all costs. As you said before, too much glory has been given to him at this time, but it has hurt him. I will train him and let him get up in three, five or even ten years. Twenty years later, he will be the next huaiqiu Gong in Chang'an city. Huaiqiu Gong has already lived I'm old enough to live for less than 20 years. Before the people forget his model, the model I set up will be talked about by the people again. "

"Your Majesty is far sighted. I can't imagine what will happen in such a long time. I just think the young man is really pleasant, so I should press him or not. If I get up too early, I will fall very painful."

"Ha ha"

The emperor smiled, pointed to Su Buwei and said, "if you are not a eunuch, you can enter the door and write."

Su Buwei quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm just trying to figure out your mind. How can I deserve your Majesty's praise."

"Su Buwei..."

The emperor pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "you look at people and things with poisonous eyes. Let me ask you... What do you think of Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji? Prince Yi... What do you think?"

"Slaves... Don't dare to have an opinion."

Su Buwei was startled and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "your majesty will spare the slaves and maids. The Taizu ordered the imperial palace not to interfere in politics. Even if the maids and maids have a hundred courage, they dare not comment on the officials of the imperial court, let alone the prince."

"Don't be so careful."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "just chat with me to relieve boredom. It's no interference in the government. I'm just asking you what you think of them, but it doesn't hurt."

"Maidservant..."

Su Buwei hesitated for a while before carefully answering: "In my opinion, commander Luo and envoy Hou Zhenfu are loyal to your majesty. They are like your Majesty's hands. They hold the two sharpest knives, the bodyguard office and the Qing Yamen. Where your majesty thinks, their knives point... As for Prince Yi, I really don't understand and don't dare to talk casually."

"This is not what I want to hear."

The emperor glared at Su Buwei and asked, "I asked more directly. Do you think who is more loyal to me, Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji?"

Su Buwei looked up at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head and said, "the maidservant felt that the two adults are equally loyal to his majesty... Just, maybe they think something different, so they look different. However, this should have nothing to do with their loyalty to his majesty."

"You!"

The emperor smiled helplessly and said, "let you tell the truth, but you are still only willing to talk about the scene. I won't ask. You don't even dare comment on them. How dare you say Prince Yi."

Su Buwei thought for a moment and said, "you don't need to have your own ideas. You can think what your majesty thinks. Just like Luo commander and Hou Zhenfu envoy, you can run wherever your Majesty's fingers go."

The emperor was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "you are different from them. I can say these words with you, but I can't say them. You should know that there are not many people around me who can let me relax and chat at will."

Su Buwei's eyes turned red and bowed deeply: "I thank your majesty longen."

Chang'an doesn't have a rule that forbids riding a horse to go shopping, but he doesn't allow galloping. So Fang Xie is anxious, but he doesn't dare to show off too much. Moreover, he doesn't have to pretend to be high-profile when he leaves the gate of the martial arts academy. On the way to Changchun Garden, he always controls the speed of the red horse and trots. He doesn't seem to be domineering.

Fang Xie doesn't want to be accused. Chang'an city is really too big for him. Who knows if an inadvertent mistake will become a reason why he can't turn over forever?

By the time he arrived at Changchun Garden, the sun was already slightly to the West. Fang Xie, who had not eaten lunch, made a slight protest in his stomach. But Fang Xie didn't have time to sacrifice to the five zang organs temple. He followed the little eunuch and directly entered the royal garden. After entering the door, the red horse gave it to the bodyguard. He followed the little eunuch step by step and kept the same distance 。

When he came to the outside of the dome house, the little eunuch stopped, turned back, smiled and said, "our family can only take you here, and we can't go in at will."

"Thank you."

Fang Xie took a silver note from his sleeve and wanted to give it to the little eunuch. Unexpectedly, the little eunuch waved back: "we don't have the courage. We don't want to taste Zong Sifang's stick. If you think we are still useful, we will make friends with you. Our name is Mu San. Just remember our name."

Fang Xie couldn't help but praise in his heart and said that the little eunuch had a good idea and means!

"I remember. My father-in-law's name is mu San. My father-in-law can also remember that your friend's name is Fang Xie."

Fang Xie nodded and hugged his fist to thank him.

The little eunuch Mu San smiled, returned the gift and turned away. Fang Xie looked at his back and thought that even a small eunuch had such tolerance, vision and means. The water in Chang'an city was too deep. He refused to accept his own silver note because he knew that the advantage of taking only a hundred liang of silver was far better than letting a little man who was likely to become a big man remember himself. Who knows what the future will be like? Who doesn't think about the future?

Mu San

Fang Xie also remembered the name, a little eunuch who didn't forget that he should climb up at the same time. Such people are often useful.
