Liu Che likes to brew in the clean room before going to court. He needs to use his fullest energy to deal with the strange and strange people under his command. It is not easy to be an emperor, and it is even harder to be an emperor who wants to be the emperor for eternity. Looking at the historical trend,
Among the more than 200 emperors, there are only a few who can be called the emperor of the ages. It does not mean that there are no outstanding figures in other dynasties to help the emperor govern, but that the emperors have no vision, courage, or to put it bluntly.
, that is, these people are not made to be emperors.
Su Ren was invited into the palace first, but Liu Che did not see him. Sitting alone in a dark room was actually very boring. Su Ren had been to this room before, just under the steps of the main hall of Jianzhang Palace.
It was originally a place where officials waiting to be summoned by the emperor were waiting for the emperor's summons. Because today was the imperial meeting, there was no one here. Two servants were guarding the door, bowing down and looking very humble.
The pastries on the table are clearly made by the chef of the palace. The style is not to mention, and the taste must be very bad, otherwise they would have gathered dust here, but they are still the same as before. The tea is quite good, it should be from Suzhou.
Tribute tea. In the past, the tea from Yunwu Mountain was ordered by Su Ren to pay tribute to the royal family. Over the years, the governor has changed several times, and the tribute tea thing seems to be still going on. The temperature of the tea soup is just right, and the aroma is fragrant when you open the lid and taste it.
I took a sip and continued to wait.
The opening of the palace gate of Jianzhang Palace is strictly in accordance with the rules. It will never be opened before the time is up, unless there is a red-feathered messenger. Gongsun Hong stood closest to the palace gate, folding his hands and closing his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.
.There was no one around him. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he had always been regarded as an independent minister. Since the Taizu Dynasty, people like Xiao He and Cao Shen were not liked by other ministers. This was also a look deliberately created by the emperor.
Wei Qing was the one who gained the most in the battle to destroy the Xiongnu. Who could give him a good sister? Da Sima is the highest military officer, already ranked among the three princes, only a little lower than the prime minister. At first, some people speculated that after Dou Ying was dismissed from the prime minister
, will Wei Qing directly take over the position of prime minister? It is not uncommon for the Han Dynasty to have relatives as prime ministers, but the emperor accepted Gongsun Hong's fate. This once made many people speculate whether Empress Wei in the harem would be as useless as
Later, like Chen Gillian, she became the next victim of power. Mrs. Li must have also given birth to a son for His Majesty, and the Emperor liked him very much.
Gongsun He stood behind Gongsun Hong. He was a smart man and very measured. The Taifu said that he was helping His Majesty govern the world, but Gongsun He was very sensible and never interfered with the emperor's affairs, because he knew that the current emperor
What kind of person is he? Because of Gongsun He's attitude and actions, people almost forget that he was once a warrior who led troops on the battlefield, and regard him as a figure like Gongsun Hong.
The most noisy among the courtiers was Gongsun Ao. He had not stopped since he got off his horse. He would say a few words to Wei Qing and then to Gongsun He. He would crane his neck and look around for a long time. If he hadn't been held down by Ji An, he would have stopped.
He didn't know what else he would say. Just like that, Gongsun Ao was still looking around. Ji An had no choice but to say a few words in Gongsun Ao's ear, and then he calmed down.
Zhang Tang is the most low-key one. He is one of the first people from Lou Guan Academy to enter the court. Therefore, many people from Lou Guan Academy unconsciously recognize Zhang Tang as their senior brother. However, perhaps because of Zhang Tang
Because Tang Zhangtingwei had been with him for so long, there was always a feeling that no one could get close to him. Except for a few people from Sang Hongyang, no one came close to Zhang Tang.
If it hadn't been for Su Ren's incident, several of these people might have been forgotten. But today, in the eyes of many people, they are completely at the forefront of the court, and every move of each person may lead the direction of the court.
, and even made the big man's carriage jump onto the ruts and embark on a new road. But from the current point of view, the performance of these people today surprised everyone. This may be what high-ranking officials look like!
Mount Tai collapsed in front of me, but his face remained unchanged!
"As the sun rises, the energy of the earth rises! It's time to go to court..."
The powerful voice echoed over the palace, bringing everyone back to reality. Under the supervision of the censors, everyone straightened their clothes and lined up in an orderly manner according to their respective positions, slowly
Entering the gate of Jianzhang Palace, the royal road has been cleaned and even washed carefully with water. There is no trace of garbage or dust in the reliefs or in the cracks of the bricks.
Su Ren was standing by the road, and everyone had seen it from a distance. He was talking to Liu Ruyi, the emperor's personal servant. The two of them had relaxed expressions and smiles on their faces. For such a scene, seeing
Everyone is thinking. Today is the second time. What is Su Ren? What is his status in the heart of the emperor? How much improvement does he need in his own heart? Wait, wait, etc., every question needs to be considered carefully.
!
This is the first great court meeting this month, and it can also be regarded as the first great court meeting after the Huns were annihilated. Because Su Ren came, everyone knew that a great court meeting would not be complete without the participation of the greatest hero in the annihilation of the Huns.
The emperor was still sitting in the darkness, poking his head into the light from time to time, just like an old dragon sticking his head out from a deep cave to check his prey. His eyes scanned the ministers and finally landed on a certain place.
Many people noticed that every time the emperor's eyes would glance over Su Ren, so they also looked over. Unfortunately, they didn't see anything, because Su Ren stood there like a sculpture, expressionless and even breathing.
Everything seemed to have stopped.
Gongsun Hong reported in an orderly manner the political affairs that had been handled by his Prime Minister's Office in the past month, each one was clear and clear, and there was no flattery or rule. If there is no emperor, perhaps it is only necessary to not have someone like the current emperor.
For such a powerful emperor, Gongsun Hong should have been a very competent prime minister. Unfortunately, Gongsun Hong was born at the wrong time. When the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was at its strongest, he became the prime minister.
No one refuted, no one questioned, and no one even said a word. This made Liu Che a little uncomfortable, so the "dragon head" once again poked out of the darkness, scanning the faces of every courtier, and the final target still fell.
When it reached Su Ren's face, the hall was as quiet as the air, with only the faint and inaudible sound left when the candlelight flickered.
"I don't think it's appropriate!"
A voice suddenly came to mind in this silent space. Liu Che then stepped back again and continued to disappear into the darkness. Everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, and they searched for the source of the voice.
Wang Wenshu, it was Wang Wenshu. He knelt quietly in the crowd, but as if he stood out from the crowd, he said clearly: "I think something is wrong! If the prime minister doesn't send officials immediately, the deposed kings' fiefdoms will immediately come back to life. How could it be possible?
Didn’t those places return to the kings again?”
"Your Majesty, I think that!" Gongsun Hong immediately argued: "The kings have been holding fiefdoms for a long time, and their unreasonable invasion may arouse people's criticism. If the kings follow the same example..."
"It's nonsense!" Wang Wenshu refused to give up: "The chaos among the kings was all due to the fiefdoms. The late emperor dealt with the Huns on one side, which gave the kings an opportunity to take advantage of it! However, the situation changed drastically. The Huns were driven to Mobei, and the imperial troops
The kings are watching with eager eyes. Even if someone among the kings wants to follow suit, all he needs to do is send a large army to defeat them in an instant! If we do not take advantage of this opportunity to bring all the kings' fiefdoms under the control of the court as soon as possible, there may be another rebellion among the seven kings in the future! Your Majesty, please make your decision!"
"Your Majesty!" Gongsun Hong still said: "However, there are still not enough officials in the imperial court. If we send them to various places, I cannot guarantee that..."
"The Prime Minister seems to have forgotten Louguan Academy?" Wang Wenshu smiled slightly: "The big exam of Louguan Academy is still approaching. Hundreds of students will graduate in less than ten months. By then, why worry about the lack of officials?" After talking to Gongsun Hong, Wang Wenshu said again
He said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. If these students dare to fail your Majesty, I will capture them and deal with them!"
Many people took a breath. They heard the words of Gongsun Hong and Wang Wenshu clearly. At first, they thought Wang Wenshu was taking this opportunity to show weakness to Su Ren, but when Wang Wenshu finished speaking, his meaning completely changed.
.This is a threat! Chi Guoguo’s threat!
Su Ren still closed his eyes and stood there quietly, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him. He was pushed by Gongsun Ao behind him, and then turned to look at Gongsun Ao, shook his head at Gongsun Ao, and continued to close.
Be your own sculpture.
Before the emperor could speak, Ji An had already jumped out, pointed at Wang Wenshu and cursed loudly. Ji An often cursed people in the court on weekdays. Wang Wenshu, a loyal dog of the emperor, naturally bore the brunt, so he stood up and cursed, which has already affected many people.
There was no feeling. Wang Wenshu had the ability to do it on his own, even though Ji An's saliva had sprayed on his face, he still refused to dodge.
Li Cai looked at the situation with a smile. He didn't expect that Wang Wenshu would use the trick of pulling out the firewood, and it seemed to be working well. And Su Ren didn't respond in any way, which meant that the relationship between Su Ren and the emperor was not a rumor, at least on the surface.
If it is so unbreakable, the court may have a different style in the future. Zhao Zhou and Li Cai are very close, so the new courtiers naturally do not have the palace of the old ministers. He is more optimistic than Li Cai, and he is more optimistic about Ji An
The scolding battle between him and Wang Wenshu was enjoyable, and he was still winking at Li Cai. Only Li Shizong didn't think so, because he thought he knew Su Ren best.
Su Ren didn't say anything, and naturally the others didn't say much. Louguan Academy belonged to Su Ren and the emperor. Neither of them expressed it, which showed that Wang Wenshu was not as glamorous as he seemed. When Ji An got tired of scolding, he coughed
Immediately, a chamberlain helped Ji An down. The court hall returned to its original appearance. Sinong, Sima, Situ and others finished what they should say, and the court meeting was declared over. This time they did not see Su Ren
The emperor kept him again because Su Ren left very quickly. (To be continued)
