Chapter 201, step by step!
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Chu Xianda, the supreme king of the West Wind Empire, was meeting with his courtiers, and Cui Xichen, the head of the Cui family, stood respectfully in front of Chu Xianda, the patriarch of the three dynasties gave the young emperor the highest respect.
"Lord Guogong, sit down and talk. Our name is Junchen, like father and son. When the imperial father died, he took me by the hand and said that I should regard you as a false father, obey your words, and don't dare to be disobedient. Over the years, Xianda has made some achievements, thanks to the strong support of the Guogong people. Otherwise, the traitorous ministers will be in power, the power will fall, and the country will not be a country. I, the emperor, are not happy about what they are doing. Chu Xianda pointed to the brocade stool in front of him and motioned for Cui Xichen to sit down and speak.
"Monarchs and ministers, fathers, fathers, fathers. Gifts must not be abolished. Cui Xichen bowed his back and said with a stubborn expression. "Thanks to the favor of the emperor, so we can have the glory and wealth of today. I have always been grateful for the dust. To be able to serve the royal family is the supreme honor of my Cui family. As for the false father's statement, Your Majesty must not mention it again---- it is to kill and wash the dust, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to live for a long time. ”
"Hahaha, you old fellow, you're worried that you won't live long enough. Chu Xianda laughed, and was even more satisfied with the performance of Cui Xichen, an old courtier. "Originally, I shouldn't have bothered Lord Guogong at this time, but when I came, I wanted to invite Lord Guogong to come and meet him, and I asked Lord Guogong to be relieved. I have all the things in mind about the people, and I can guarantee here that I will definitely let the people be wronged. Make the lawless pay a heavy price. ”
When he said this, Chu Xianda was already a little angry. No matter what the attitude of the Cui family is, the fact that his face was swept away is unacceptable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Cui Xichen was grateful, and was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Cui Xianda took the first step, supported Cui Xichen's arm, and said, "Lord Guogong, you don't need to make this big gift. Zhaoren was killed when he was doing something for me, and I am deeply saddened by this incident. That Li Muyang not only killed the good sons of the Cui family, but also killed my good courtiers. In any case, let him pay with blood. ”
"With Your Majesty's words, people will not die unjustly. Cui Xichen was in tears.
"It's just that because the old guy of the Lu family has been crying in front of me, and he is not neat enough to do things according to people, and he really has some tricks to be caught, so Lord ---- Guogong, please bear with me for a while. ”
"The old minister understands. The society of the country is important, and Your Majesty must not hurt the national body in order to take revenge on others. Cui Xichen comforted in a deep voice.
"The great man of the country is my confidant. Chu Xianda sighed. "There is one more thing that needs to be discussed with Lord Guogong. After Teruto left, I felt deaf and a deep sense of powerlessness. So, after some thought, I decided it was time to rebuild the Ombudsman. In the past, the Supervision Department was in charge of Zhaoren, and I can be trusted. So, I thought, this time, let's see if Lord Guogong can recommend another good candidate for me, a good courtier who can serve me loyally. ”
"The compensation is coming. Cui Xichen thought in his heart.
His face was silent, he thought about it very seriously, and said, "Cui Jian can take on this important responsibility." ”
"Cui Jian?" Chu Xianda thought for a while and said, "Cui Jian, who is known as the head of the seven sons of the Cui family?"
"Your Majesty, he is not the head of the seven sons of the Cui family, but the head of the seven sons of the Zephyr Empire. He is the son of my Cui family, but he is also the son of the empire, and he is the son of His Majesty. When the empire is in need, they will stand up at any time and shed their blood, defend the land for the country, and share the worries of His Majesty. ”
"Good, good. Chu Xianda was overjoyed and said with a smile: "A good one to defend the land for the country and worry for His Majesty." If everyone has such an awareness, why don't I have a west wind? I am familiar with the name of Cui Jian, who has won the top prize in the imperial martial arts competition for three consecutive years, and is a first-class heroic boy in Tiandu. Later, I heard that I went out to practice and travel, but I didn't hear from him for several years. You should be making a lot of progress now, right?"
"Whether there is progress or not, it still needs to be assessed by His Majesty himself. The old minister did not dare to praise it in vain, for fear that His Majesty would be difficult to see. Cui Xichen said with a serious face
"Hahaha, you old guy is just too cautious. Chu Xianda laughed out loud and said, "You let Cui see me, if it is in line with my heart, I will hand over the Supervision Department to him, as if he is trusted and reused-----
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Cui Xichen bowed and saluted.
When the monarch and ministers were talking, the chamberlain Li Fu came over to say goodbye and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Guowei is here, saying that there is an urgent matter to face the saint." ”
"Lu Xingkong, that old ------" Chu Xianda became angry nameless when he heard this name. His people were killed, things were messed up, and this old man still ran around every day crying and saying that he wanted to give him justice. Let me give him justice, who will give me justice?"
"I didn't say it. ”
"Nope. ”
"Yes. Your Majesty. Li Fu turned to leave.
"Wait. Chu Xianda thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let him in." ”
"Yes. Your Majesty. Li Fu agreed.
Chu Xianda looked at Cui Xichen and said, "Lord Guowei, you always rest in the apse and eat some refreshments." I'll see if the old guy has something to see me. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Cui Xichen glanced at His Royal Highness, and walked towards the apse under the leadership of the chamberlain.
Lu Xingkong followed Li Fu into the hall, and after kneeling down and bowing, Chu Xianda sat on the high chair and asked, "Lord Guowei, why did you come to see me today?"
With Lu Xingkong's age status, he didn't have to make this big gift originally. Moreover, after the prostration, a seat should be given.
But because Chu Xianda was dissatisfied with Lu Xingkong, he deliberately forgot about this fork. Let him kneel before him to answer.
"The minister has a letter, and I ask Your Majesty to adopt it. ”
"Hmm, any suggestions?"
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to re-establish the Supervision Division. Lu Xingkong said with a solemn expression.
“------”
Chu Xianda's first reaction was that there was a spy around him, and what he was about to do was sold to this old horseman.
But that's too fast, isn't it?
Moreover, when he heard that he wanted to rebuild the Supervision Department, shouldn't Lu Xingkong, an old fellow, vigorously oppose it? Last time, he did everything he could to stop it, but he still handed the Supervision Department into the hands of Cui Zhaoren. How did he do the opposite this time?
Could it be that he sensed his own crisis and wanted to use this incident to ease the relationship with me?
Or is there something else that is difficult for you to understand?
"The Supervision Department is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and protecting the country and the land. It is really sad and regrettable that the Supervision Department suffered a catastrophe and dozens of imperial iron-blooded soldiers died in the river. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the king cannot be without a supervision department for a day. I also ask Your Majesty to put away your sorrow, make a decision as soon as possible, and re-establish a stronger and more efficient Supervision Department to solve problems for Your Majesty and distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Lu Xingkong didn't care about Chu Xianda's attitude, but knelt there and continued to state the pros and cons.
"Your Excellency's suggestion is good, but ---- I still need to think about it. Chu Xianda found that he needed to be cautious when talking to this old guy, otherwise he would accidentally fall into his trap. Thinking that he was so pitiful as an emperor, he hated this old guy even more. The re-establishment of the Inspectorate was originally an idea that had existed in his heart for a long time, and it had to be done. But being stirred up by this old guy, he began to be a little unsure---- is there any loopholes and crises in it that he didn't take into account?
Chu Xianda's mind was complicated, but he still had to concentrate on the old guy in front of him, and said: "The rebuilding of the Supervision Department is a major matter of the country, and I still need to make a decision with all the ministers." ”
"Your Majesty's wide range of words is a blessing to the people. Lu Xingkong said with a smile. "If Your Majesty re-establishes the Inspectorate Division, the old minister has a competent candidate to recommend. Xu Da, the general of the iron wall, fought hundreds of battles for the country as a foot soldier, won hundreds of battles, and was almost undefeated. The town has guarded the broken dragon yuan for more than ten years, the border pass is stable, and the sergeant is convinced. He is called 'General Ironwall' by the Chinese people. ”
"Last time, because he was framed by Cui Zhaoren, General Xu Da was arrested in Tiandu, and until now he is still at home, and it is difficult to return to Broken Dragon Yuan---- so Lao Chen suggested, if Your Majesty asked him to rebuild the Supervision Department for you, first, to make up for the humiliation suffered by General Xu Da, in addition, it is also Your Majesty to prove to the frontier sergeant that you trust the border army, and you are willing to return General Xu Da's innocence, and you are willing to keep it by your side for reuse. I think that if General Xu Da is given this important responsibility, he will definitely be grateful, do his best for His Majesty, and die. ”
“------”
Chu Xianda wanted to scold his mother.
Lao Tzu has just chosen the candidate for the head of the Supervision Department, and you old dog wants to insert your cronies in.
If Xu Da was really allowed to do the palm print of the Supervision Division, he would indeed be grateful and do his best, but the object of gratitude and dedication was you Lu Xingkong and not me Chu Xianda.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
"Lord Guowei------" Chu Xianda forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, laughed, and said: "You can always think about me and be anxious about what I am anxious about, which really makes me very happy. It's just that this matter is a matter of national importance, and I still need to discuss it with the big guys, and then think about it carefully ------ give me some time, how about it?"
"The old minister is waiting for His Majesty's holy judgment. Lu Xingkong said respectfully.
When Lu Xingkong bowed goodbye, Chu Xianda asked Cui Xichen to come out again.
After Cui Xichen heard the purpose of Lu Xingkong's arrival, he sighed and said, "Lord Guowei can play a good chess hand." Step by step, the gods and ghosts are unpredictable. Cui Jian is afraid that it will be difficult for His Majesty to share his worries and take charge of the Supervision Department. ”
