324 Difficult to decide
The waiter in red clothes and white pants carefully held the tea tray and approached the jade case step by step.
The folds on the table are piled up like a hill.
Emperor Zhengxi buried his head in flipping through the folds, in fact, these folds had already been approved, and now he turned them out again, and after reading them, he threw them away and threw them all over the ground. But he kept rummaging, not knowing what to look for in it.
It usually only takes ten steps to walk from the door to the jade case, but today the chamberlain walked thirty small steps, and every step was like stepping on ice.
"Rip-off-ripped skin--when it gets dark, you know how to rip off, prevaricate, play word tricks, one by one in an important position, the power is up to the sky, holding the highest salary I give, not planning for the country and the people, I know in my belly that I think about my own family, forming gangs, yin and yang, and what I say in my mouth is not what I think in my heart-" The emperor grunted.
The chamberlain walked to the desk and had no way out, so he could only slowly raise his head, and his two hands tightly held the plate and tea bowl on his head.
"Traitors have the intestines of traitors, what about loyal ministers, loyal ministers are really dedicated to the country, without the slightest selfishness?"
The emperor asked.
The chamberlain's eyes were raised, and they hit the emperor's eyes just in time. The Emperor was glaring at the chamberlain with good eyes. It was as if I was going to swallow him in one gulp.
The waiter didn't dare to squeak and quickly bowed his head.
"Liu Changhuan, come on, Yin Wenhua and Yuan Lingyun, are these two people good or bad?"
Gonggong Liu knew that the emperor was on fire in his heart during this time, he was moody, and he could explode at any time, so he didn't dare to move, without a little expression on his face, and said, "The slave doesn't know." They are important ministers of the state, how dare the minions judge them casually. ”
"Now it's just you and me. Whatever you say, I don't blame you for saying something wrong. ”
The emperor suddenly stopped turning and stared at Liu Changhuan with interest.
Liu Changhuan has been tempered in the deep palace all these years, and he can be regarded as an old and cunning person, and he didn't dare to speak casually when he couldn't understand His Majesty's thoughts, so he continued to pretend to be stupid, and looked at the emperor in front of him pitifully, this son of heaven had just crossed the threshold of thirty-five years old, and he was in his prime, and he was good at manipulating power, and his mind was erratic, so even if he was an old servant who had followed him for nearly twenty years, sometimes he couldn't really understand his mind.
Liu Changhuan shrunk his neck, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, don't embarrass the slave, okay, the slave is stupid, I only hope that Your Majesty can eat more imperial meals every day, sleep sweetly at night, and be healthy and healthy." As for the affairs of the family and the country, the slave does not dare to talk about it. ”
"Slippery head-" Emperor Zhengxi smiled, stretched out his hand to catch the tea bowl, took a sip, and his expression suddenly mild, "Say, didn't I say it all, it's just the two of us here, you can say whatever you want, don't have the slightest scruples." ”
The tea bowl on Liu Changhuan's head was gone, so he dared to stand up straight, hold the plate in his hand, secretly look at the emperor's expression, and tentatively speak: "These two people are the two ministers of my Dongliang Kingdom." It can be said that it has supported the overall situation of the entire government and the opposition in our country. They're like—like those two pillars—" his hand pointed to the two pillars in front of him. This diligent hall is a wooden and earth-earth structure, and the support in the hall mainly relies on wooden pillars.
The Emperor looked at the two pillars, and they were indeed the two columns in the most important position.
"Then tell me about these two pillars. As he spoke, the emperor stepped forward and pulled Liu Changhuan down on a low stool.
Frightened, Gonggong Liu quickly stood up.
"If you are told to sit down, you will sit - this is the holy decree!" the emperor lifted Liu Changhuan and pressed back on the stool, while he himself sat on the soft chair behind the jade case. Cocking his legs, he stared at Liu Changhuan: "Brother Liu, there is no majesty here today, and there are no chamberlains, only you and me." It's an old friend who has been with us for many years, so let's talk about it with an open mind. ”
The emperor's voice was sincere, and he did look like he was open-hearted.
This old brother scared Liu Changhuan enough, he suddenly slipped down and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty - torture the slave -"
Knocking his head deep on the ground, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and his eyes were sour, he had followed the emperor for all these years, although he was sometimes very afraid of this moody master, but it was false to say that there was no emotion, sometimes the emperor ate less, slept badly, and woke up several times at night. Especially when he was so angry with those courtiers in the court, to be honest, he looked distressed from the heart.
From this salutation, he could tell that the emperor also had feelings for himself, and he had been with him day and night for all these years, and sometimes they even spent more time together than the emperor and any woman or any relative.
But such a title is really inappropriate, if outsiders hear it, he will lose his head.
But the Emperor looked earnest, pulled him up again, pressed him back to the low stool, and looked at him.
An uncastrated servant can be called a brother by the emperor, such a kindness and respect must be ranked first in the history of Dongliang.
Liu Changhuan suddenly made up his mind in his heart, "Yin Xiangguo is smart, smart-minded, and good at entrapping others, he can handle the relationship between the entire Dongliang Kingdom up and down, and can he still make His Majesty like him from the bottom of his heart, rely on him, can't do without him, this is his ability." But His Majesty also knows that this is exactly what His Majesty needs to be vigilant about, being too smart, and being too smart may not be a good thing. ”
The emperor nodded, "Yin Xiangguo's cleverness is well known. ”
"Yuan Lingyun is not a stupid person. If you are stupid, you won't be able to make the official all the way to Xiangguo, right? He's actually quite smart, but most people can't see it. Because everyone is easily deceived by his appearance, he has a loyal appearance. But in the eyes of the minions, he is wise and foolish, and he is the kind of person who hides his wisdom. ”
"I know all this. You go deeper. ”
Liu Changhuan licked his lips, "The minions heard that they are all courtiers who are loyal to you and Dongliang Kingdom. It's just that the temperament is different, so-"
"Still not telling the truth!" the emperor became impatient and put the tea bowl in his hand on the table. "It is said that Yin Xiangguo is a traitor, Yuan Lingyun has always regarded himself as a loyal minister all these years, I want to listen to your conclusion. ”
Liu Changhuan's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he gritted his teeth: "The left phase is public on the surface, but in fact it is private." The right phase takes into account both public and private, of which the public heart is the majority, and selfishness can account for one or two out of ten. ”
"Okay—" With a long roar, Emperor Zhengxi bounced up from his seat, and slammed a fold in his hand into the jade case. The hill on the desk was suddenly in an uproar and fell to the ground.
Liu Changhuan knelt on the ground, scrambling to pick up the folds.
"Go quickly, spread the word to the left and right Xiangguo, and I will discuss with them immediately if I have something important-"
Liu Changhuan got up from the twists and turns, staggered to the door, and shouted with a male duck: "Biography - Yin Xiangguo - Yuan Xiangguo - "
