Isn't this what everyone wants when they get into a fight in the officialdom?
Your Highness, King Jing, may have had a noble status in the past, but if you can't bring benefits to everyone, who will follow you wholeheartedly?
The situation is completely different now.
One emperor and one courtier.
In the past, Fang Jun had military power and made great achievements in conquests in all directions. Even his followers could share the credit. They were promoted to various positions and had a bright future.
Everyone is envious and jealous, but they can only salivate.
Now His Highness King Jing has entered the military aircraft department and become one of the five bosses. If nothing else, he will be in charge of one of the sixteen guards and become a veritable military boss. They no longer have to watch as before.
Others have made outstanding achievements and show off their power.
The Tang Dynasty revered martial arts, and all the people practiced martial arts. Without one or two military exploits, no matter how prominent your official title was, you would inevitably feel weak and would not be able to straighten your back when speaking.
Now it is completely different from the past. His Highness King Jing has the power in his hands. Isn’t everyone’s future military exploits in their hands?
Naturally, everyone was in high spirits.
Du He suggested: "Your Majesty, the dragon has entered the sea and the skylarks are flying into the sky. We all congratulate you! We will have a good time and have a few drinks in the evening. I wish your Majesty great success and great success!"
Everyone responded enthusiastically, saying they wanted to have a good drink. Some even suggested that they go to Pingkangfang and call some oiran singers to enhance the atmosphere.
Li Yuanjing was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "No! No! Now, although I have obtained His Majesty's permission, I can enter the military aircraft office, but there are countless people in the government and the public who are dissatisfied. At this moment, I am walking on thin ice, and I must not leave anything behind."
If you keep telling the truth, how can you feel at ease if your official position is not guaranteed and your Majesty's trust is betrayed? We must not hold a big banquet today. Let's keep a low profile. There will be many opportunities to drink and have fun in the future, and it is not less than this moment."
Qiu Xinggong did everything he could. He stroked his beard and his triangular eyes shone brightly. He thought to himself that this prince was cautious, but he didn't know how long he could maintain this caution. Now that he is in a high position, everything will be displayed in front of everyone. In the past,
Certain shortcomings that have not been paid attention to will be exposed, and the slightest mistake will be infinitely magnified.
They are all waiting to catch your mistake, and then attack with all their might to replace it!
Therefore, after reaching a certain level of official position, it is even more difficult to move forward. Not only is it limited by one's own level, but also because as the official position rises, the struggle will take on a whole new level. If you fail to do so,
Be prepared, but failure is common.
Qiu Xinggong was not optimistic about Li Yuanjing's future.
Du He and others all lamented that it would be a fly in the ointment if such a good thing could not be celebrated properly, and they should take the opportunity to publicize the matter. Not only did King Jing's status suddenly rise, but they, the followers under King Jing's wings,
It can also boost your reputation and boost your morale.
Otherwise, people’s hearts will be scattered...
After everyone celebrated, they all dispersed. Li Yuanjing then returned to the back house. The maid took a shower and changed clothes, and sat in front of the window drinking tea refreshed.
Dong Mingyue came to her side with gentle steps and graceful manner, and knelt down on the floor, with eyes as bright as water and a smile as bright as a flower: "This time I would like to congratulate the prince. If the prince gets what he wants, he will definitely be able to achieve great things.
Express your ambitions!"
Li Yuanjing knew that he had to remain respectful and low-key at the moment, and never get carried away, but just now he was still sullen in the front hall, but now he was in the back house, with his beloved woman by his side, and the joy in his heart was real.
It was hard to hold back and burst out laughing uncontrollably.
How could you not be excited?
Not to mention that the status of the Minister of Military and Aircraft represents the highest power of the imperial military. According to the information he privately inquired about, in order to ensure that the Minister of Military and Aircraft can truly participate in the Henan military and not be a puppet, His Majesty Li Er intends to make the Sixteenth Guards
The generals were re-appointed to ensure that every military minister could be in charge of a guard.
Sixteen Guards!
Among the Li Tang clan, even Li Xiaogong, who had great military achievements, had never been in charge of the Sixteenth Guards before. All the generals of the Sixteenth Guards were confidants of His Majesty Li Er. Li Daliang, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Fang
Jun, Chai Zhewei... none of these people are loyal and loyal.
Compared to the clan, His Majesty Li Er obviously has more trust in his comrades who have followed him through life and death, but he has always been more cautious about the clan.
Otherwise, Li Xiaogong, who had made great achievements in the war, would not have to retreat bravely, and voluntarily requested to resign from all official positions, hand over all military power, and would rather stay dormant in Chang'an City and become a rich man...
And now, he, Li Yuanjing, is about to take charge of one of the sixteen guards!
Low-key, humble, cautious... these are all necessary, but military power is the foundation of everything! As long as military power is in hand, no matter how low-key or humble, there are many opportunities to cultivate forces loyal to oneself.
As long as there is a slight possibility, coupled with a slight chance, it is enough to achieve an unprecedented foundation!
Li Yuanjing felt that his blood was racing and he was extremely excited!
Looking at the gentle and gentle beauty beside him, Li Yuanjing reached out and took her into his arms, smelling the quiet fragrance, swaying his slender waist, and said in a deep voice: "I will do whatever Mingyue has done for me.
Keep this in your heart and never forget it! If one day you can fulfill your wishes and achieve great things, I will definitely give you the position of a noble concubine. If you swear to this end, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Based on Dong Mingyue's merits, he really wanted to simply give her the position of queen. He loved this woman to the core and was willing to share everything with her.
But he understood that this was absolutely impossible.
Even if such a day comes, he must win the support of the entire royal family behind him, and even more so, he needs the position of queen to win over the family members to stand in a united front and resist those possible opponents.
Dong Mingyue's eyebrows stretched, she smiled gently, and said softly: "What did the prince say? If I can serve the prince and be favored by the prince, this life is enough. I never dare to expect too much. I am born in a poor family, how can I
Can you be worthy of the position of mother in the world? If your virtue is not worthy of the position, there will be disaster. I don’t dare to hope too much. I only hope to be able to accompany the prince as I am now. My wish is fulfilled."
With a light waist, picturesque eyebrows, sincerity, and deep affection, Li Yuanjing not only sighed, what kind of luck is it for God to send such a strange woman to him?
*****
Lishan Farm.
His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the school door with his hands folded. Behind him were the bright glass windows. The sound of children reading aloud could be heard in the room. In front of him was the gentle rolling hillside. The wind blew by, layer by layer of emerald green.
The crops rise and fall like waves.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If I can put down the government and this heavy burden in the future, roam among the forests and springs, teach children to read, cultivate the farmland with my own hands, and rest at sunrise and sunset, then I will be worthy of this life!"
Fang Xuanling stood behind His Majesty Li Er, silent.
People are always dissatisfied, so they return to Longfu and look forward to Shu.
How many people work hard to climb on the mountain of power, sacrificing everything to climb to the top of the mountain to appreciate the scenery that dominates the world, and to feel the feeling of holding the sun and moon in their hands. However, as an emperor, he has already stood on the top of power, but he still has I look forward to the day when I can be relaxed and comfortable, no longer caring about the intrigues and intrigues, a pot of wine and a fishing rod, a pole of romance, a raincoat...
His Majesty Li Er didn't get a response for a long time, so he turned around and looked at Fang Xuanling. Seeing the helpless look on his face, he suddenly burst into laughter: "No wonder Xuanling thinks I'm hypocritical, even I feel so bad... Haha! But having said that, Aiqing is getting better and better now, and her body and bones seem to be stronger than when she was in court, so I feel very relieved."
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "The government is complicated and laborious, and the old ministers are already overwhelmed. With His Majesty's approval to serve, it feels like a huge mountain has been lifted off my body. All of a sudden, I feel refreshed and refreshed..." said When I got here, I was just a little stunned.
Just now, I disliked His Majesty Li Er's friendship, but when it was my turn, it was still the same?
His Majesty Li Er pointed at him and said teasingly: "There are thousands of officials in the official career. Which one is not coveting the position of Prime Minister and Fu? They only wish to reach that height even if it only takes one day, a lifetime is enough. Although Die with no regrets! You, Fang Xuanling, have been in the position of prime minister and assistant for decades. Now you feel that it is just an official position, with great power and greater pressure. But have you ever thought about those people who work tirelessly for fame and official position and never give up? Where are the people? Haha, you, Fang Xuanling, are also a hypocritical guy!"
The emperor and his ministers laughed alike.
People in different locations view the world from different angles, and naturally experience different scenery.
Although the current prime minister was extremely favored and powerful, the pressure and responsibility he shouldered were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After laughing for a while, His Majesty Li Er turned around, looked at the lush crops all over the mountains and plains, and said slowly: "Before the Eastern Conference, I intend to re-appoint the Sixteenth Guards General. What does Xuan Ling think?"
Fang Xuanling pondered for a while and said bluntly: "What about others, I don't need to comment, I just rely on His Majesty's principles to make arbitrary decisions. However, I think His Royal Highness King Jing is not suitable to be the general of the Sixteenth Guards. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
