Chapter 887: Candidates

“…… Liao Qing and Lao Fourteen are just political differences. If Liao Qing was really useless, Lao Fourteen would have dismissed him from his official position a long time ago. He won't be given a vegetarian meal.

Even if this person wants to kill, he must kill it slowly, if he is forced to rush and provoke them to jump over the wall and fight back desperately, then the emperor will be finished. ”

The Empress Dowager said bitterly, and Wei Yanxian also lowered her head and listened quietly. But he never said a word, and he seemed to be still unconvinced.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager sighed: "Child, is it so easy for you to be the emperor? When you don't have the ability and prestige, you have to be low-minded and coax those ministers to do things for you, and the punishment is just for show, otherwise the courtiers will say that you are tyrannical and tyrannical, and naturally someone will come to overthrow you." ”

Wei Yanxian muttered, "I am really embarrassed by this emperor. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled when she heard this, and only shook her head and said: "In this life, people are aggrieved and aggrieved, and they are satisfied." What are you? You don't have to eat, you don't have what you wear, you kid, it's just that life is too comfortable. ”

Su Yu is still in the capital these days, but he received a letter from Aru in the northwest, saying that Wei Mingxu is happy to have a noble son this year, and on Wei Mingxu's birthday, the Mongolian Great Khan and Princess Ulan will personally come to Beijing to congratulate.

Su Yu pleaded, when Wei Mingxu was finished with his birthday, and Aru and the Mongol Great Khan returned to Mongolia, he wanted to resign and go back with him to be an idle person.

When Su Yu came back this time, Wei Mingxu originally valued him very much, after all, Su Yu had followed him for many years, and in Wei Mingxu's heart, his ability was much better than that of Du Qin's apprentice. I have missed him for so many years, but now Su Yudu's face is gloomy, and there is no longer the vigor and brightness of his youth in his eyes.

I don't know if it's because Su Yu has been away for too long, people and things in Beijing are unfamiliar, and when it comes to doing things, he is not as good as Du Qin everywhere.

Wei Mingxu was a little sentimental and said, "Su Yu has followed me for more than twenty years. has been on the battlefield together, and has been in the treacherous clouds of the capital for so many years. He was going to the Northwest. I thought he was just going to relax, but I didn't expect that he hadn't come back for so many years, and now that he's back, I think he's put down everything he did at the beginning. I never thought that it would still look like this, but it made this king feel cold.

It turns out that the world has changed over time, and some people may not be as good as they remember, but because they have been away for a long time, they miss it for a long time, so they forget the mistakes at the beginning and only remember the benefits. ”

Lin Zhixuan still didn't understand the meaning of Wei Mingxu's words, so she only said: "Now that there are better and more powerful people around the prince, let those old people go." ”

Wei Mingxu just sighed when he heard this, and before he could speak, he heard Brother Shu crying in the shaking bed on the side.

Lin Zhixuan hurriedly wanted to hug her, but Wei Mingxu stopped Lin Zhixuan and didn't let her get out of bed. It's just that Wei Mingxu didn't call the nurse outside, but personally stepped forward to pick up Brother Shu'er, pacing back and forth in the house to coax Brother Shu'er.

Lin Zhixuan looked at Wei Mingxu's way of holding the child, she was already very skilled, not as unfamiliar as taking care of the ninth sister at the beginning, but she found it interesting, there are several fathers who can love their children like Wei Mingxu.

Sure enough, after a while, the little man stopped crying, Wei Mingxu just wanted to put the child back in the rocking bed, but the little guy didn't know if it was intentional, he had to be hugged by Wei Mingxu to stop crying, and once he put it back, he started crying again. There was no way, Wei Mingxu walked back and forth in the house with the child in his arms, talking to Lin Zhixuan.

The matter of naming Brother Shu'er passed like this. The affairs of the Liao family and the Li family are now in full swing in the court, attracting everyone's attention, and no one dares to mention the matter of Brother Shu'er anymore.

It's just that Lin Zhixuan was surprised that Brother Shu'er's name was actually in the court, and no one stood up to oppose it except for the Xie family.

Lin Zhixuan asked Wei Mingxu funny: "Didn't even our Great Zhou Dynasty's first minister, Zhuang Xihan, say a word?"

Wei Mingxu said: "Zhuang Xihan is old after all. On the fifteenth day, Zhuang Xihan was sick and did not come. ”

Lin Zhixuan could see the regret on Wei Mingxu's face, although she often disagreed with Wei Mingxu about this upright old minister, Wei Mingxu still admired this old man very much.

Lin Zhixuan also said: "He is so old, and he has been loyal to the court all his life, and the prince should also reward him with a gift, so that he can have a good life and glory." This court should be the world of young people. Is the prince of the military department still more interested in Li Qi? When will he come back?"

Wei Mingxu knew that going to sea would be a life-or-death, and he didn't know when Li Qi would come back, nor did he know if Li Qi could come back. Wei Mingxu can wait, but Zhuang Xihan can't wait, but reassigning manpower in the military department is not a matter of one or two days, even if the newcomer goes, there is no one for three or five years, and he can't get ahead: "Li Qi will be better." I will ask Shen Yan to go to the banker's house tomorrow to see him, hoping that he can last a few more years for the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can be regarded as a hard work, and then it is gone. ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded in agreement, but said: "But the prince should also prepare a few more people in the Ministry of War, in case Li Qi can't come back and Zhuang Xihan goes again, this vacancy in the Ministry of War can't fall into the hands of others." ”

Wei Mingxu looked at Lin Zhixuan's serious appearance, only smiled lightly, and pretended to say: "Yes, follow the princess's teachings." ”

Lin Zhixuan wrinkled her eyebrows and glared at him, so as not to talk to him.

Only Fu asked about the Li family and the Liao family again: "...... What is the prince going to do with them?"

Wei Mingxu tried to put the sleeping Brother Shu back into the shaker, and the child was really tired after holding him for a long time. While saying to Lin Zhixuan: "Now that the evidence of the Liao family's crimes is conclusive, Liao Qing will definitely not be able to do the position of the head of the household." Bai Hui and your brother have been officials in the household department for a long time, and it's time to get promoted. ”

Lin Zhixuan watched Wei Mingxu carefully put down Brother Shu'er, thank God the child didn't cry anymore, Lin Zhixuan answered in a low voice: "Bai Hui is really good." ”

Wei Mingxu stretched out his sore arm, not because the child was heavy, but because the child was too delicate, when he held it, it was not loose, nor was it tight, and his hands were more nervous than holding a sword, and it was sour after a while. I just went to pour Lin Zhixuan a bowl of barley soup that was prepared in the house every day, brought it over, and said to Lin Zhixuan: "I naturally prefer your brother, just let Bai Hui assist him." ”
