Feng Deyi and Changsun Shunde went to the province with the same leader, and the struggle had already begun.
It was just that the new dynasty had just been established and the princes had not yet been destroyed. In addition, they did not fully understand the emperor's personality, so they did not show it clearly. However, secret rivalry was inevitable.
Feng Deyi's bad reputation is a disadvantage, but he is a man who knows how to get things done and is very thick-skinned.
First, he met Wen Yanbo in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was recommended by him as a minister. Later, he built the Chang'an Academy, revised the history of the Sui Dynasty, recommended talents, and attacked the Gao family in Bohai. He was very much in line with Li Po's wishes.
Moreover, he has been smart enough to keep a certain distance from the Chang'an clan, unlike Changsun Shunde, who is not only related by marriage to the Li family in Longxi, but also has contacts with the Dou family, etc. Moreover, many people in the Luoyang clan follow Changsun's lead.
As a close relative of the emperor, having too many cronies is actually a disadvantage.
Feng Deyi knew this very well, so after he took up the post of minister, he rarely interacted with people. He did everything for the emperor's sake. From time to time, he would accept small bribes and recommend individuals, only to grasp the emperor's will.
, such as recommending the warrior Yu.
After finishing the matter, he didn't take any credit. After that, he ignored the warrior Yu and had no intention of making a deeper friendship.
In addition, I took the time to go to Ganlu Hall and Liangyi Hall to have a meal and chat with the emperor.
Do you think he got the position of servant by luck? Changsun Shunde's defeat is simply a matter of course. Compared with the old fox, it is also based on age and age.
Changsun Shunde did not show any weakness and recommended Yu Wenshiji backhand, hoping to set him up.
Feng Deyi could only sneer at that time. If he, the head of the sect, was held up in the air by two servants and unable to get down, his years as an official would have been in vain. He might as well go home and retire in peace to avoid losing his life.
Today, when he plotted against Yuwen Shiji, it could only be regarded as a small trick to push the boat along, but it was a bit taboo to take out Yuwen Shiji's confession document.
But that was also within the power of the servant. Besides, did Yu Wenshi really dare to ask the emperor at this time if he had seen his memorial in defense of himself?
Therefore, this mute will surely suffer the consequences of being a scholar.
In fact, speaking of it, I can't blame anyone else. It was Yuwen Shiji who did something stupid himself.
Go to Mrs. Chengguo's house to ask his wife to get back together with him? I don't know what the fuck he is thinking. Is he just pretending or is he really that infatuated?
Anyway, this thing looks a bit weird. Could it be that he was possessed by his two brothers?
That's not all. If it were him who was Feng Lun, and he knew he had done something wrong, he would immediately go to the imperial court to plead guilty. What kind of book would he write? What if he was intercepted?
According to the emperor's temperament, it is not a big deal for his ministers to have bad personal ethics. As long as you simply admit your mistake and ask to be transferred from the capital, the emperor will definitely retain you.
Because you have only been a servant for a few days? If you leave like this, wouldn't the emperor be ignorant of people? Seeing how you admit your mistake so well, maybe the emperor will deal with it for you while trying to persuade you to stay.
For example, you can speak to the Xiao family and ask them not to embarrass you, or you can suppress the officials and ask them not to act like monsters on this matter.
This is a very simple matter for the emperor. As long as he wants to use you, there are a hundred ways to protect your reputation and official position. Even people like Yun Dingxing, whose reputation has been extremely corrupted, sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
If you are safe and sound, what does this matter to you?
As a minister, he didn't dare to admit his mistake to the emperor face to face. He just wrote a letter to apologize, so there is no need to blame others for using tricks.
……………………
Li Po was indeed a little annoyed. Just as Feng Deyi thought, the officials in Menxia Province were originally evolved from the emperor's attendants. You can just forget about it if you can't have a heart-to-heart relationship with me, but you actually want to muddle through?
So when you encounter other things, do you also want to hide them from me?
Li Po shook his head secretly, no matter how talented such a person is, he shouldn't stay around for a long time...
Xiao Shiwen did a very good job this time. According to this person's temperament, he thought that Xiao Yu would write a letter early or impeach Yuwen Shiji at the Yushitai.
There has been no movement until now, which means that Xiao Shiwen has not used any means and seems to be busy doing business. This is how he should be like an important minister in the court.
Changsun Shunde... the recommended person is not suitable. I will make a note of him first. He is trying to fight for power and profit and recommends private individuals. Moreover, he has many friends. If personal relationships are involved, it is difficult to be fair in doing things.
.
I asked him to persuade the people of Luoyang to go back, but he was not very dedicated...
His nephew Changsun Wuji was quite good. He knew the priorities since he took up the post of Chang'an Order. Even though he took some care of the powerful, he was never vague about major matters. At the beginning of the year, he even solved a serious case.
Of course, this guy is a member of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he has just passed his probation period, he can be reused.
What's more, what makes Li Po look more pleasing to the eye is that this man is quite affectionate and righteous.
He had been yelling at him in the military camp outside the city, which made him very unhappy, but looking back now, it was also a sign of his loyalty.
So many people were captured, but only Changsun Wuji was like this. His character was very rare.
Moreover, Changsun Wuji's sister married Li Shimin and was still the royal concubine of the King of Qin. Now she can be kept in the palace without avoiding suspicion. She is very humane. Unlike those families who disliked the widows of Li Yuan and his son so much.
This seems to be the case for Yu Wenshu. The girl has gone to live in Li Xiuning's house. What the hell did Yu Wenshu give birth to?
In fact, thinking about this, Yuwen Shiji's fate was almost doomed. Even if Yuwen Shiji's apology letter came to Li Po's eyes, he probably wouldn't take another look at it.
……………………
In the evening, the lanterns started to come on, and the lights in the palace were also lit one after another.
When it was time to eat, Li Po put down the memorial without hesitation, stretched, and looked around, "Wei Zheng..."
"I'm here." Wei Zheng did not wander around this time and immediately emerged from the shadows.
Li Po stood up and said, "Let's go out for a walk with me."
Wei Zheng didn't want to go, it was almost time for him to get off work, and he was thinking about going back and asking his wife Pei to prepare some side dishes and warm up a pot of wine... Well, after Zhang Liang's man returned to the court, the two of them had not had a good conversation.
Although that man was not a very good person, he was kind to him. When he was captured and brought to Jinyang, he was very grateful to Zhang Liang for taking care of him.
Zhang Liang has been away from home for the past two years. He is a rough guy and it is extremely difficult to exchange letters. Now that he has returned to Chang'an, things should be almost busy. He is just waiting for promotion. It would be appropriate to invite him for a drink now.
But after leaving with the emperor, he probably had to put everything aside. He thought of the invitation sent by Yu Wenshiji during the day, and he must be leaving the palace, right?
Didn't you refuse? Do you want to give Mrs. Xiao a surprise?
As he thought about it, he became confused. If Li Po knew about this, he would have his head chopped off first.
Of course, no matter whether he was willing or not, or how great a good thing was waiting for him tonight, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he could only follow the emperor's promise and walk out of the Tai Chi Palace with the emperor.
……………………
At this time, midsummer has passed, and the weather in the north has cooled down after a few rains. Moreover, autumn is generally very short. August is the end of autumn. For example, in Mayi, from the end of August to the beginning of September
, it is very likely that it will snow for a while or two.
After leaving the Tai Chi Hall and turning north, Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to follow the emperor out of the palace for a leisurely trip, especially in those two places. It would be awkward to accompany the emperor.
Just listen to the emperor's romantic affairs, but it's better to avoid it if you want to participate in person.
"I heard that Xuancheng composed poetry again?" Li Po suddenly asked after leaving Tai Chi Hall.
Wei Zheng felt a little ashamed. He had been with Li Po for some time and knew that the emperor could compose poetry and did it very well. In his opinion, it should be considered a natural talent.
Because the emperor himself was not keen on literary affairs, especially since the memorials used by his ministers were a bit unfamiliar, the emperor was afraid that he would have a headache for a long time.
Fortunately, the emperor was quite thick-skinned and let his close ministers explain what he didn't understand. In fact, in Wei Zheng's view, this was in line with the emperor's background and experience.
But what people can't understand is that the emperor's poems are really good. They can be translated into chapters and verses, and the poems are all prepared. The meaning is powerful, the atmosphere is magnificent, and the meaning is very profound. It is simply... I can't understand what this kind of thing is.
How did it happen.
Therefore, composing poems in front of the emperor is purely a one-man show, and ministers rarely do such foolish things.
It must be Yan Shigu who talks too much. He has now become the prince's teacher. He is so proud of himself these days, which is really not pleasing to the eye.
……………………
Before Wei Zheng could be humble, Li Po said: "Come and listen, you have been admonishing me all day long, and you are making irresponsible remarks not only in your poems, right?"
The corner of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched a few times. The emperor always spoke in a strange manner when talking to him. This doctor Jianyi was really a different person inside and outside.
"My work is just an old work from that time. I wrote it based on my feelings. There is nothing praiseworthy about it... Since the Supreme Being has a destiny, I can only show my shame."
After calming down for a while, he chanted: "I bid farewell to Jingfu in the first summer, and the three rivers stagnate in autumn. The Penglai Pavilion is sinking, and I miss my hometown a lot every day and night. The frost cuts the cool steps, and the wind carries the secluded Nagisa lotus. I sit in the sun and rest, feeling
This style of micro-singing.”
Now Li Po's literary quality is no longer comparable to that of the past. He has read a lot of books and reads memorials every day, and his progress has been obvious.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was talking about autumn. Well, it sounded gloomy and hopeless. It was probably what he did when he followed Li Mi to defect to Li Yuan. If he dared to set the time after he defected to me, he would definitely knock his head off.
After smacking it for a while, I felt that the poem was not very good. The words and sentences were too plain, and it was useless at all. It was more like a pile of things. Wei Xuancheng couldn't write a poem.
"Xuan Cheng's talent and learning are rare, but the power of remonstrance is not obvious. In the future, you should not regret yourself. Your career is not based on poetry."
Wei Zheng understood. The emperor was telling him not to waste time on articles and to focus on his job.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel frustrated after receiving such an evaluation...
