"I have said that if a person who governs a big country cooks small dishes, it will be obvious that big things will happen and he needs to slow down... Nowadays, there are many countries, and wars are everywhere. Everyone holds military power, strengthens the weak branches, and writes the constitution, but it is not effective. The king has come to take charge.
To the east of Hedong, I merged two states, did little corvee and paid little tax, rested with the people, and did not change the government for several years. This is not what a wise king would dare to do."
"In this way, it is a good day in the Jin Dynasty, and the scholars and common people have returned to their hearts. It is obvious to all. Now that we are in a hurry, it is better to calm down and think clearly, and to avoid haste and use patience, so that we can plan for the future. This is my humble opinion, and I hope your Majesty will give it some thought."
The talent is not called for nothing. She picked the right point. She did not talk about any specific government affairs, but advised His Highness the King of Han not to be impatient. What she said was meaningful and not general.
It is also comforting to listen to and will not arouse people's disgust. Such speaking skills, coupled with sufficient knowledge as support, are the results of the education of the children in the Wang family.
Be gentle and elegant, state your opinions without any sharp criticism or flattery. It is peaceful and natural, and is in perfect harmony with the golden mean.
If Wang Ze, the minister of etiquette, had come in person, he would have praised him in his heart, saying that having a daughter in the Wang family does not disgrace the lintel.
Li Po nodded. Like many times, he seemed to have listened, but also seemed not to have listened. It was impossible to know what he was thinking.
After a moment, he smiled and asked, "How can you tell that I am impatient?"
Wang Qi bravely raised her head and blinked her big eyes, "Your Majesty's heart is as big as the sea, and his intentions are unpredictable. But Chen Zhongshu, Wen Shangshu, Su Shilang and others all thought that Your Majesty was in a hurry, so naturally they couldn't be wrong.
.”
A real smile finally appeared between Li Po's eyebrows. He couldn't help it, he liked smart people, especially those smart people who didn't stick to the rules and had some cunning in their speech and behavior.
Of course, just like Li Yuan likes to get along with people like Pei Ji, they all have a bottom line and a sense of moderation and propriety. If anyone dares to treat him as a friend in front of Li Yuan and acts unscrupulously, he will definitely be lost later.
brain.
Li Po is no exception. It is true that he likes smart people, but if he is too smart and makes little calculations one after another, then you have to be careful.
Now, he thinks what Wang Qi said is quite interesting. Yes, even if he is not in a hurry, but Chen Xiaoyi and others are anxious for him, then he is impatient, because this kind of information will be spread by Chen Xiaoyi and others to others.
.
"I'm still here drinking and talking with you. I can see that you are very wrong. If other people get it wrong and immediately settle the matter, what does it have to do with me? Are you right?"
Li Po's intention was completely incomprehensible to Wang Qi. Even though she was the secretary of the Han Dynasty Palace, as a woman, she was naturally in a disadvantaged position. There was no way she could really be regarded as a confidant by Li Po. It would be a good idea to have a chat with her about this.
It can only be said that it happened at the right time.
But she still smiled. Now that His Highness the King of Han occasionally showed some cunning looks, his attraction to women would be doubled, so Li Po, who was "used to" flirting with his daughter, added another piece of evidence against Li Bi.
This was not over yet. Li Po then said: "You have heard about the knighthood. Later, when Wang Shilang wants to enter the palace again, you can talk to him and hear what he means and report back to me."
The circle that had just been drawn disappeared immediately, and Wang Qi soon fell into a dilemma. Was she being given an important task, or was she being taken advantage of?
Of course, no matter what she said, she had no choice, and if she was smart, she would definitely figure it out. She still had the responsibility to persuade her father.
And when things come full circle, her father will definitely be prepared when he speaks in front of His Highness the King of Han. No matter who he is, this is no small matter.
Now what Wang Qi needs to think about is no longer how to "marry" herself, but how to talk to her father later.
This was obviously Li Po's impromptu idea. This woman, Wang Qi, was very smart, so she might as well put it to use. Moreover, when acting in Jin, the Wang family could not ignore it. Wang Ze was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the matter of ennoblement could not avoid this.
As a minister to the king, having Wang Qi by your side should be considered a good thing, right?
And this is undoubtedly a test for Wang Qi. If he does it well, the name of Wangji's Office will gradually live up to its name. Even if it is not as good as Yang Xu, Li Po's habit of employing people will definitely not be too far behind.
If it is not done well, then it goes without saying that the palace of the Han Dynasty is so big that it is more than enough to support a spare person.
In other words, Wang Qi did not need to be involved in this matter. Others would still appear in front of Wang Ze, but Wang Ji's family came to Li Po first.
"I have not returned home for several years. I miss my mother very much and would like to return home for a visit. Please allow me to do so, Your Majesty."
Li Po was very pleased that it was so simple. He smiled slightly and said, "I was negligent. The mansion is not a prison. How can we separate family ties and filial piety? Before you go back, you can tell the princess and bring some gifts back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She took the opportunity to get some benefits, but it was difficult for Wang Qi to be happy. She could not talk about Rong's return home. She was also very distressed about how to explain her situation in the Han Dynasty palace after seeing her mother.
Perhaps the biggest benefit is that you will be freer in the future, right?
At this time, Wang Qi couldn't help but think about her life as a teenager. Well, in comparison, after entering the Han Dynasty palace, she lived a more relaxed life. The rules and etiquette in the Wang family's palace were only suitable for women.
Talk about going to jail.
I don't know, but Wang Qi was shocked when she compared her. Since when did she not want to go home?
At this time, Li Po was already full of wine and food, and by the way, he "teased" the talented girl of the Wang family. He felt very comfortable, so he stood up and said: "The storm is coming now. If you are capable of the Wang family, please work hard and take some responsibilities for me."
, I will be richly rewarded in the future. Shilang Wang is a smart man. He should understand these truths. You must also remember that the old tree outside Wang's wall, although it blocks my way, is still leafy and provides shade.
To people?”
The words that sounded like explanations and contained threats came from Li Po's mouth. They were perfectly normal and could only mean that he was in a good mood, so he gave Wang Qi a good excuse to leave and talk to Wang Ze.
After saying that, Li Po walked out of the study. Wang Qi was good enough and knew how to get up to see her off, but she was just hungry and her head was completely dizzy.
The little maid was waiting outside. Seeing that His Highness the King of Han came out after such a great effort and neatly dressed, she was immediately disappointed. Her second mother was so unsatisfactory...
………………………………
Jinyang will not stop this winter, and there are many government orders ready to be issued. In comparison, Guzang, thousands of miles away, is completely like a powder keg, the kind that will explode if it touches a little spark.
Fan Wenjin ended up living in Li Boyu's Prince's Mansion, and it was exactly as he imagined. The Prince's Mansion was leaking like a sieve.
I just went to the welcoming banquet hosted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and finally had a warm meal. When I returned to the accommodation prepared by the Crown Prince, I wanted to ignore everything and just cover my head and take a deep sleep to recover (to prevent harmony).
Soul, lest someone beheaded me, I would exhaust myself to death first.
But let alone the bed, the beauty Li Boyu sent her had already arrived before she could even sit down safely.
Fan Wenjin's small body must have been in a state of intoxication, so he could only decline His Highness the Prince's kindness. But what he didn't expect was that the beauty who came handed him a letter.
At that time, Fan Wenjin was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. Damn Li Boyu, could you be any more incompetent? If someone poisoned the food, wouldn't the reception feast become a soul summoning feast?
No wonder Fan Wenjin was so frightened. The beauty who clearly had the characteristics of a foreigner from the Western Regions was sent by Li Zhongyan, King of Wu'an. In other words, the woman sent by His Highness the Prince to accompany the envoy turned out to be an enemy spy. Anyone who encounters such a
The situation will be the same as that of Fan Wenjin. He will be bluffed, and then Li Boyu will lose any confidence.
In fact, at this moment, Fan Wenjin didn't understand why the big shots in Guzang City valued him as an outside messenger so much.
He tested the prince Li Boyu at the banquet, and came to a very helpless conclusion. Li Gui was indeed a powerful person. How powerful was he? He had to overcome the situation in his life, and there were no outstanding figures in his relatives to help him.
Not to mention, he raised his two sons into useless people.
Prince Li Boyu and his younger brother Li Zhongyan, King of Wu'an, have fallen into a boring and unintelligent fight. If you agree, I will oppose, and if you disagree, I will approve.
Many people are using them as spearmen, and Liang Shuo is probably one of them, supporting the prince to stand up to An Xiuren and others. It is estimated that King Wu'an is similar, and An Xiuren brothers are taking over the situation.
Among the people who hold real power in Guzang City, Prince Li Boyu and King Wu'an Li Zhongyan should not be among them. The city government they have shown is simply not enough to lead guys like Liang Shuo or the An brothers.
Just like this beauty sent, maybe it was the trick of the An brothers, who are descendants of the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
The question that puzzled him had no answer from Prince Li Boyu, because the reason why Li Boyu invited himself out of the city to greet the envoy was because King Wu'an wanted to do so.
I easily got this news from Li Boyu. In fact, Li Boyu had become a complete idiot in Fan Wenjin's mind. When the beauty sent the letter, this was confirmed again.
King Wu'an Li Zhongyan wanted to have a secret meeting with him. He said it was a secret meeting, but in fact it was no different from robbery. Li Zhongyan said arrogantly in the letter that as long as the envoy found an excuse to avoid the prince and leave the prince's mansion, he could get them all.
Go to Wu'an Prince's Mansion.
This made Fan Wenjin think of the drama of bride-robbing in his hometown. His girl was robbed, and he was "suffering deeply". He himself did not want to be the one who was robbed.
Especially the origins of the An brothers made him regard Li Zhongyan as an enemy early on.
