Chapter 281

All the civil and military officials watched the absurd play, and no one would come out to be the outstanding bird.

Since the first emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, there has been a tradition of encouraging officials to speak up and recommend. If civil servants carry coffins to court, they are loyal ministers. If you bump your head into this Kowloon pillar, it's not a problem to keep your name in history.

The Minister of the Ministry of punishment seemed to have seen the honor of the family for at least three generations since then. He raised his chin slightly and was more righteous.

The emperor looked embarrassed and threw the hot potato to Meng Xu: "this... What Ai Qing said is true. What do you have to say, prince?"

Meng Xu raised his eyes and suddenly woke up in a daze, laughing innocuously: "what did the Lord Shangshu just say? There is some noise in the wind today. I haven't heard it clearly just now. "

The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment opened his mouth with a face of bewilderment and indignation. The rest of the people are secretly laughing.

Lao Shoufu had no choice but to shake his head and smile.

The prince's way of dealing with these old people is more and more like Meng Yan when he was young. How can he be shameless.

After reading enough of the Minister of punishment's face as if he had opened a dyeing shop, Meng continued to accept it when he saw it was good.

Suddenly, his face was in a state of solemnity, and he said with righteous words: "the Lord Shangshu has read all the books of sages and sages for ten years. Can you stand here today?"

"That's nature! What does your highness mean by that? "

"Can you tell me what a little girl said when our palace was managing Jiangnan Road

Let alone the Secretary of the Ministry of punishment, even the emperor was a little confused. He didn't know what medicine Meng Xu sold in the gourd.

He said slowly, "she said," the crown prince is the most important of the country. The gentleman did not stand under the wall of danger, so the emperor and the common people suffered the same, and made contributions to the five emperors in Yao and shun. " This sentence comes from the fifth chapter of sage Zhang's national policy, Donggong. Can a ten-year-old child praise it? Does the Lord Shangshu not know? "

Just now, he said that he could stand here only after reading all the books of sages and sages, and that he could praise all the ten-year-old children, but the truth he did not understand was ironic.

The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment blushed and was ashamed and angry: "of course, I have read it. My royal highness, why should my royal highness humiliate me so much in the court?"

However, Meng Xu shook his head and said with a cool smile: "this is not to humiliate Shangshu. Not to compare himself with Yao and shun. However, the father and the emperor manage everything every day. Whether he is a son or a crown prince, he should share one or two things for the father and the emperor. It's ridiculous what Xu has done. How can you give her a chance to make up for it? "

The emperor, who was addicted to the Imperial Palace, was very agreeable to hear these words, and Meng Xu was his own son in the end. How could he be so humble in front of a minister?

Then cold face, hum a way: "love Qing, you way how?"

The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment was all in a cold sweat. They were all the old foxes who were the best at understanding the emperor's thoughts. Could they not hear the emperor's intention of safeguarding?

He knelt down and exclaimed: "your majesty and your highness are blessed people, and the old minister is also for the sake of the country. It's very good for your highness to have such a heart."

The first bird failed, and naturally no one will stand up to cause bad luck. The old chief assistant caressed his long beard and sighed.

Qiao Qiao, you are happy with the youth, step by step into the country can be independent of the pillars. Should you be happy now?

This morning, the emperor came here to let the prince take over the imperial affairs. Once this happened, there was no place but to congratulate Meng Xu.

If it had been in the past, Meng Xu might have been satisfied.

But he had seen the world when the dust fell, so he didn't have much feeling. He was good at chatting with the people, so far.

Emperor Jiandi was very tired. When he passed the Minister of punishment, his family members were carrying the thin coffin out. When they met him, they sneered and said, "Mr. Minister, if you can't afford a good coffin in a hundred years, you can come to my official. For the sake of working with the minister, I will help you."

There have always been many who add to the cake, but few who send charcoal in the snow.

Meng Xu's face did not change as he passed by them. He saw that the Minister of punishment's face was blue and purple, and his old friend was flattering him with a smile.

Almost everyone had gone, but there were still two officials at the farthest place from the main hall.

One of them was just a green shirt. He could not enter the Jinluan hall according to his rank. Now he was full of sadness, rubbing his thin official uniform, and sighed a long time.

A friend beside him patted him on the shoulder: "young, it's not easy for me to take you to the temple. Today's situation is not suitable for you to play. Maybe another day. "

His eyes were red, his lips were wriggling, and his mood was a little out of control: "the natural disaster is coming, and millions of people in the city of chirp are in the midst of floods and fires. The folding on the piano is like a stone sinking into the sea. I went to Beijing to ask for it myself, but I only saw power strife and intrigue. How can the people live in such a court? "

"Be careful when you are young!"

He was startled by his friend's shocking remarks. He looked around and covered his friend's mouth.

Knowing his friend's temper, he could not help sighing. The bitter old woman said: "young, you are indifferent to the world. One heart for the people. That's good. But it's not what you see on the court

A few words can't change a friend's nature, which is straighter than wood. The man had to persuade Qingshan out first.

In the Jinluan hall, the eyes and ears of the emperors are everywhere. If those irreverent remarks are heard by those who want to. Let alone Chen Youzhi, even he will die clean.

Out of the hall door, a little dejected green shirt footstep meal, looking at the people appear in front of me, some at a loss.

He rarely stayed in the capital. In recent years, the dignitaries in the capital were unknown. No wonder he stayed in a small place like Chicheng for more than ten years.

Friend is to recognize the way, smile gentle man, busy bow way: "treasure bodyguard, I do not know what advice?"

It's Xiaobao, the prince's bodyguard. The prince has just gained power today, so the people around him are naturally rising. But Xiaobao was not so superior. He said with a good smile: "I can't talk about advice. Are you Mr. Chen, the governor of Chi city? Mr. Wen, my highness wants to borrow your good friend to have a talk with you. Don't you know? "

Wen Fen didn't dare to say for sure. Instead, she was happy for her friend's sudden good luck.

"Bodyguard Bao, you're welcome. Let's go back and prepare a small gift and visit the prince himself?"

In the past, his royal highness relied on his talent and arrogance, and was rather headstrong. He was not very popular in the court. They such nine grade sesame official is easy to even face all don't see.

No more than Chen Youzhi who has been away from the capital for a long time. Wen Fen was well aware that the petty gifts of officials in the capital would make him bleed a lot, and would be a stepping stone to his official career in the future.
