Changsun Wuji stared at the steward in disbelief and asked, "Can you say it again?"
The steward subconsciously shrank his neck, and his courage trembled. Outsiders called his family leader "Changsun Yinren", which probably means "a knife hidden in a smile", but only the Changsun family knew that this family leader was rarely seen in the house.
With a smile on his face, his face was gloomy and cold all day long. From his children, grandchildren, nephews, to servants and family members, there was no one who was not afraid of him, and wished he could stay away from them for more than three feet...
Moreover, this matter today will definitely make the master of the family very angry. I just hope that I will not cause trouble: "As for the master, there is news from the academy that the list of students recommended by Chu Suiliang has been rejected."
Changsun Wuji almost gasped for breath. He threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground with a "bang" sound. The fine white porcelain tea cup shattered into pieces. Still feeling uneasy and resentful, he kicked the table in front of him.
He turned over and cursed angrily: "Chu Suiliang is extremely incompetent! Fang Jun is bullying others too much!"
He was really going crazy!
Everyone can see how the academy is valued by His Majesty. In less than three to five years, the first batch of students who have dropped out of school will enter the yamen of the three provinces, six ministries, and nine temples. These students have the ability, background, resources, and the support of the emperor.
, will undoubtedly become the main force among the empire's future middle-level officials.
Don't think that only the chief official of the yamen has the final say in the officialdom. If the middle-level officials in the yamen unite, they can easily oust the chief official!
Twenty years later, these students will become the mainstream in the court!
But there are actually not many children from the Guanlong noble family here...
Don't say that if you can't get into this class, there will be another one. The officialdom pays attention to an opportunity. If you fall behind, you will fall behind every step. Except for a few outstanding people, everyone will be suppressed by the "seniors".
This is absolutely unacceptable to the Guanlong nobles!
He took a deep breath and watched the maid timidly put away the broken porcelain pieces and desks, and then said to the steward: "What exactly happened, please report it in detail."
"Here!"
The steward quickly reported the news Chu Suiliang had sent back from the academy to Changsun Wuji verbatim.
Changsun Wuji listened silently, his face so gloomy that it could drip water, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.
When he heard that Chu Suiliang agreed with Fang Jun's "minority obeys the majority" strategy, he immediately yelled: "Extremely stupid, extremely stupid!"
In his view, what is the difference between giving the power to draw rules to others and following the path drawn by others, and handing the handle of a knife to someone else?
You can only kill them if they lead you to the neck!
I am really blind, and I actually want to support such a stupid guy to become the spokesperson of the Guanlong nobles...
I have always seen Chu Suiliang as mean and sinister, but who would have thought that he actually went into battle and turned out to be a fool!
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his chest felt tight and his mouth and tongue were dry. He took a deep breath to suppress the anger. He subconsciously reached for the tea cup, only to find that there was nothing on the newly replaced bare table... In his heart
The anger suddenly surged up again.
"Tea!"
Changsun Wuji shouted and said: "Keep talking!"
"Here!"
The manager was trembling and continued to report.
When he heard Chu Suiliang angrily flipped the table and walked away, Changsun Wuji let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and shook his head: "He is restless and has no authority, so he is worthy of a big job!"
His heart was almost filled with regret.
Especially when I heard that Xu Jingzong had sided with Fang Jun, I knew that this treacherous and selfish villain was retaliating for the lack of support given by the Guanlong nobles over the years. Since the Guanlong nobles had left him idle and indifferent, then he
So he changed the court and gave the Guanlong nobleman a slap in the face.
Moreover, the beating made the Guanlong nobles' ears roar and they were dizzy!
It hurts so much!
The maid served tea, then stood aside and said cautiously: "Master, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
Changsun Wuji raised his eyes and took a look at the sky. He felt that the night was long and he had many dreams, so he said: "No need, prepare the carriage. I want to enter the palace immediately!"
"Here!"
*****
Dragon Palace.
His Majesty Li Er had just had dinner in Concubine Yang's palace. After returning to Shenlong Palace, he drank tea to eat and reviewed some unimportant official documents.
This year, the imperial court has increased the development of Dongting, opening up hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land. Yuezhou, which used to be barren, has gradually become more densely populated and has become a thoroughfare to Dayi. In time, it will definitely become the best place in Jiangnan West Road.
Add another land of plenty to the empire.
In the early spring, Liu Dewei, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, wrote a letter requesting that all the prisoners on death row be moved to Xizhou. This led to the impeachment of the imperial censor, and was even scolded by the censor Zhongcheng Liu Ji in court for "being inconsiderate of public opinion and being cruel and murderous." There were also complaints among the people. Although in the end this statement
The decree was implemented, and countless prisoners on death row were escorted to Xizhou to enrich the frontier, but Liu Dewei was disheartened and resigned from office.
Regarding the candidate for the Minister of Justice, the Zhengshitang once again plans to transfer Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to serve...
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a long time and marked the word "ke" in red on the memorial.
Jingzhao Yin and Ma Zhou submitted a letter requesting the construction of a residence for the imperial envoys in Chang'an City.
In the past, the governors or sergeants of various states came to Beijing with tributes at the beginning of each year, and were called envoys to the imperial court or imperial emissaries. There was no residence for the envoys to the imperial court in Chang'an, so these officials had to rent houses and live with merchants, which was inconvenient to communicate with and there were many problems.
Lost the dignity of the court.
His Majesty Li Er picked up the ink pen again, marked the word "Ke", and made a note: He ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to discuss and coordinate with Yousi to build an official residence for the envoys of the DPRK...
The pot of tea was about to be finished, and most of the official documents and memorials that had been accumulated for the whole day had been reviewed. The chamberlain came in quietly and announced: "Your Majesty, I am requesting an audience outside the palace of Duke Zhao."
His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned, and then said: "Summon him quickly."
Thinking of what happened in the daytime academy, and reliving the process of Fang Jun, an unscrupulous gangster who pushed Chu Suiliang to the ground and rubbed him, His Majesty Li Er smiled.
The auxiliary machine has always been thoughtful and foresighted, and it is really rare when he loses his composure like this...
At the same time, I remembered that when the auxiliary machine faced Fang Jun directly or indirectly, not only was he never able to do anything to Fang Jun, but he even got so angry that he blew his beard and glared several times. Is this considered one thing defeating another?
When he remembered the footsteps outside the palace, His Majesty Li Er quickly put away the smile on his face, nodded slightly at Changsun Wuji who walked in, and said: "It's so late, and the auxiliary machine is not resting in the palace, but do you have any important matters to discuss with me?"
Changsun Wuji choked.
All the children of the Guanlong nobles are blocked from the academy. This is naturally a big deal for the Guanlong nobles, but for His Majesty, I am afraid that he is more happy to see it happen, and may even take pleasure in his misfortune...
After gathering his thoughts, Changsun Wuji said: "There is indeed something I need to discuss with His Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand, invited Changsun Wuji to take a seat, and asked casually: "Has the auxiliary engine ever had dinner? If not, someone will arrange the food and drinks."
Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "I have been experiencing strong anger and gastrointestinal discomfort recently. The doctor told me that it is best to have an empty stomach at night. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er did his best. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for Changsun Wuji himself, saying: "Why do you have to come to the palace so late? Can't you stay until tomorrow?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji took the cup of tea with both hands, but without drinking it, he gently placed it on the table at hand, sighed softly, and said, "It's not a big deal. Chu Suiliang left the academy in anger.
, Your Majesty must already know this, right?”
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I know. What's going on? Is the auxiliary machine going to complain to Chu Dengshan?"
"Dengshan" is Chu Suiliang's word...
Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "I don't dare! The academy was planned and built by Your Majesty, and the money and food required were directly allocated from internal funds. It is equivalent to an institution outside the imperial court. Everyone from top to bottom is His Majesty's confidant, which represents
How can a humble minister control His Majesty's will?"
His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly.
Therefore, the academy belongs to me, so if scandals like squeezing out officials occur, my face will also be lost, right?
Such a yin person, Zhang Sun, can’t open his mouth without speaking in a yin and yang manner, right...
His Majesty Li Er said: "Auxiliary machine, you and I have been monarchs and ministers for decades, and we have the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, as well as the feelings of brotherhood. Don't these strange and strange words appear to be raw? If you have anything to say, just say it directly.
, whether it is reasonable or not, I will consider it carefully."
Changsun Wuji suddenly turned red, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
He really didn't expect that His Majesty would speak so straightforwardly, so straightforwardly that there was no room for change. He just pointed at his eldest son Wuji's nose and said - If you have something to say, say something, if nothing else, get out of here.
