Chapter 117: Someone from the Palace
"Well, I must practice hard and not embarrass my sister!" Nangong Sixuan nodded happily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why he chose this weapon was indeed because he really liked it. But his sister's reaction just now made him subconsciously disagree with Nangong Yun, so he really chuckled in his heart just now. Fortunately, in the end, Nangong Yun did not object.
"In the autumn, go back and let someone build an iron fan for Xuan'er to use, and he can use this at the current stage!"
Nangong Yun instructed Qiu, who was standing behind him. When Nangong Sixuan has a small success, she will make a good fan for Xuan'er, and now she is just starting. It's better to use the simplest!
While a few people were having a leisurely meal, a servant came in from outside to give a farewell.
"Master, Gonggong Li is here, and now he is waiting in the front hall. ”
Hearing this, Nangong Lin's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and said in a deep voice: "I know, let's go down!"
"Grandpa, you're not young now, but you need to take care of your body. Three meals a day must not be delayed. Nangong Yun stretched out his hand for Nangong Lin Bucai, and at the same time said silently with his eyelids.
"Yes, this person is old, and he is much slower to do anything!" Nangong Lin looked at the white jade tofu soup that his granddaughter served for himself with a smile, and the corners of his eyebrows raised and responded unhurriedly.
Finally, adhering to the health regimen of chewing and swallowing slowly, Nangong Lin and the others ran out of dinner.
Now that he knew that his old man had started the deployment, Nangong Yun had no interest in going to get involved, and led Xia Lan and Xia Zhu back to Yunyuan.
Nangong Sixuan continued to return to the courtyard to complete the seemingly hopeless task in the company of autumn.
When Nangong Lin followed Li Mu to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw Chu Hengjue leaning on the dragon couch with a tired face, one hand on the high dragon head armrest and brushing his forehead.
Next to him stood a silent minister. It can be vaguely seen that there are two different formations.
Nangong Lin glanced slightly, and when he saw Li Sheng standing at the front with low eyebrows and smooth eyes, he already knew it in his heart.
It seems that the three princes really don't want to let go of this opportunity! This room full of ministers is either from the third prince or from the eldest prince. Even this old guy is here!
You must know that Li Sheng's situation is similar to that of himself, and he has already resigned and retired for many years.
Could it be that this time he was invited by the queen and the eldest prince? Or was it announced by the emperor?
Speaking of Li Sheng, he is also a weirdo. When the emperor reigned, Li Sheng was already the gentleman of Tai Academy, and in terms of talent alone, he was second to none in Tai Academy, and even some hidden masters at that time were full of praise for Li Sheng's literary talent.
It's just that since ancient times, most of the literati have been high-minded and unfamiliar with officialdom. Many Tuas have even chosen to go into seclusion.
Although Li Sheng also disliked officialdom, he chose to stay. even recommended himself to the former emperor Mao Sui to be a Taifu. But he did not allow his children and grandchildren to enter the court as officials.
For this approach, Nangong Lin actually agrees very much. It was at that time that Nangong Lin felt for the first time that this seemingly weak and harmless scholar really had the exquisite heart of officialdom. came and went, and the two became confidants and friends.
Facts have proved that Li Sheng is also capable enough to take on the position of Taifu. At least the current emperor is a wise monarch who loves the people like a son and works hard.
It's just that when Chu Hengjue took the position of emperor, this Taifu, who should have unlimited scenery and a smooth career, chose to resign and retire as soon as possible, no matter how the emperor retained him, he was indifferent.
In the end, Chu Hengjue had no choice but to approve Li Sheng's request, leave the name of his wife, and find a good place for him in the capital to enjoy his old age. And Li Sheng's family did business in Beijing in the early years, and now all the family businesses of the Li family's descendants are in the capital. Therefore, Li Sheng finally accepted this reward.
However, although Li Sheng is no longer in the officialdom, the rewards that come from the palace from time to time still make everyone dare not underestimate them.
The reason why I guessed whether Li Sheng would be invited by the queen and the eldest prince was mainly because Li Sheng had a precedent of interceding for the eldest prince. At that time, the movement caused by the court was not small, after all, this Mrs. Li has always been a fair and honest person.
Nangong Lin thought to himself in his heart, and at the same time came to the front of the main hall, tidied up his clothes slightly, and bowed down to confess.
"The old minister is guilty! It's all the blame for the old minister's old age and frailty, and his mobility is inconvenient. It made Gonggong Mu wait in the palace for a while longer, thus delaying the time of meeting the saint and delaying the time of the ministers. Please ask the emperor to surrender!"
"The old prime minister doesn't have to blame himself, I and all Aiqing have just discussed for a while, you and Taifu are old after all, so it's naturally okay to come late. Chu Hengjue raised his head when he heard this, and waved his hand indifferently.
Li Mu, who was standing on the lower side, looked at Nangong Lin with a panicked face before Chu Hengjue could speak.
As a eunuch in the palace, who doesn't have the ability to recognize people and colors. What's more, he, the most personal housekeeper by the emperor's side!
The phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" is not for fun. The reason why Li Mu was able to stay by Chu Hengjue's side for so long. It is not only a full understanding of Chu Hengjue's habitual temperament and heartfelt heart, he clearly understands who can be offended in this capital and who must not be provoked!
"Thank you, Emperor Longen!" Nangong Lin didn't say anything, and the old god thanked him.
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers present also politely greeted Nangong Lin. The emperor has spoken, what else can they say!
Nangong Lin and Li Sheng glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of clarity in the eyes of both sides. The two old guys who had known each other for half their lives looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak. They each stood with their hands down, looking leisurely and harmless.
Chu Hengjue on the dragon seat closed his lazy posture and inspected a circle of people. The face is serious and solemn, but in the heart is secretly scolding the two old foxes.
Two old guys, both as cunning as foxes. Don't think that he doesn't know what these two old men are thinking, isn't he just unwilling to wade into this troubled water!
After clearing his throat, Chu Hengjue couldn't hear any emotion in his tone, and asked flatly: "Since all Aiqing has arrived, let's continue to talk about the rumors in the capital in the past few days, I want to hear what the listener Aiqing thinks about the matter of Liujiang?"
When everyone heard this, they buried their heads lower. If you want to live in officialdom for a long time, you must be cautious in your words and deeds! They are all old people who have been in officialdom for a long time, so how can they not know this. Even the ministers who stood on the side of the Great Prince were silent at this time!
Although they said that they had the will of the great prince and wanted to do their best to save Liu Jiang's life, the premise was, of course, that their own safety would not be affected. Looking at what their emperor means today, it is a little uncertain. No one wants to touch that mold first.
