There are a lot of socials in January, and I am more concerned about these than in previous years, so Lan Sheng divided them for me one by one, and even saw the gift list of previous years with my own eyes, only to find that I still had a lot of people concerned when I was in the court: Li Dan began to give gifts to me in the second year after I was imprisoned, and the first year was his handwritten poems, Painting red and other things, with some gold and silver coins and silks, the second year has a lot of practical utensils, the third year is more elegant, mostly books and pictures, etc., attached to the rewards of the people, to this year as a younger brother, copied a lot of longevity posts to me—— The rewards for the subordinates are still the same; Princess Qinghe and Princess Anding give me gifts every year as usual, and even the rewards to the subordinates are the same as when I never offended my mother; although Liu Houde is gone, he also sends some greetings every year, thinking that he is planning to leave a way back; the most unexpected thing for me is Wan'er, she sends me poems and stickers to celebrate the New Year every year, and this year she has given me a collection of judgments, including the classic judgments that have passed through the hands of several of their former female officials.

Ah Huan and Cui Mingde's vision of selecting people is very good, Lan Sheng is an excellent secretary, thoughtful, organized, not only divided the correspondence into categories, but also divided the people who came and went into a category, copied on paper according to the category, each name is attached to the person's resume, deeds, even A Huan's name is also noted: Princess Luling, Jingzhao Wei's East Dependents, father Xuanzhen, mother Cui's, brother Xun, Ze, Shu, Xu, Pei, Hui, the same father and brother Qing, the current Sibin Temple, has three sons and one daughter. He also drew for me all the relatives in the people who came with me - in other words, Ah Huan, or Cui Mingde, although they would also classify and annotate for me, they would only choose the important ones that I was not familiar with, and the notes would not be so detailed, but Lan Sheng treated everyone equally, and all the notes were noted, and there was no omission.

In the past, I would have laughed at Lan Sheng in my heart for being old-fashioned and troublesome, but now I am in awe, and I specially called her to my side, and said gratefully: "Thank you." ”

Lan Sheng bowed slightly: "Just do your duty." She did not wear a hat in the house, only covered her face with a layer of black veil, and her voice was hoarse when she spoke, as if her throat had also been injured. ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to present a copy to A-Niang, but if you do, I won't have to worry about it." ”

Lan Sheng glanced at me silently, and said again: "Although we sent it, the princess had better send another one." ”

As soon as I thought about it, I realized why, and I became more grateful: "Thank you." ”

She lowered her eyes and said no more. I read the list in my hand several times, selected one of the people who felt important, picked up another one, hid it in my arms, and went to find Ah Huan before entering the palace, Ah Huan went out of the palace on behalf of his mother to Fengxian Temple to offer incense, and then went to see Cui Mingde: "Li Zhaode sent another post, and also attached a heavy gift." ”

In the past few months, I have somewhat understood that because of the great prosperity of the cool officials and the struggle for power of the martial arts, those who can serve their mothers as close officials are either the Wu family and the Yang family, or the people who have the beard and the horses and the wise people who protect themselves, but this Li Zhaode has a strong temperament and dares to do anything, and he is regarded as a clear stream in the turbid people, and Lai Zixun, Qiu Shenxun, and Zhou Xing have framed the minister in front of his mother many times. Reversing black and white, only Xu Yougong and Li Zhaode dared to speak out in the court, Xu Yougong was dismissed and imprisoned for trivial matters this year, but Li Zhaode rose step by step, entered the Yushitai, and became a colleague with Lai Zixun - I thought that it was not uncommon for a high-ranking person like him to cling to me, a "powerful man", and I was shocked when I received the gift list.

Cui Mingde was busy looking at the map—since Dugu Shao left, every time I saw her, she was doing this—and only after hearing this, she reluctantly accepted the map, and patiently explained to me: "This person is shrewd and capable, quite famous, and is not on good terms with the Wu clan and Lai Zixun and others, and the king of Zhou can't cling to it, so he naturally sends the gift to you—he is by no means the only one, in the next few years, the elders of the old dynasty will not want to make friends with Erniang, you must also be careful, don't be at the mercy of them." ”

I laughed and said: "At the beginning, Gaozu wanted to be attached to the Li clan in Longxi, but they rejected it verbally, disliking us as a rising surname, but now they are all brave and loyal, and they have defended us wholeheartedly." ”

Cui Mingde heard my displeasure, did not say anything, only offered me a cup of tea, after I took a sip, Fang Xu said: "Clear-eyed people know that as long as Your Majesty is not confused, the world will be Li sooner or later, otherwise where will the temple be attached? Second, although Fang Jin is in danger of dying in the Tang Dynasty, when the wind and rain are in turmoil, it is a good time for the courtiers to make contributions and make a name for themselves. Therefore, those who have a little way are either camping and trying to rely on a big tree to protect themselves, or they want to rely on a big tree in order to rise to the top. Zhuwu later into the special promotion, suddenly get prominent, the family has no background, no talent, and in an important position, there is no lack of eagles and dogs, clinging to them, not only bad their reputation, but also may not be able to stand out in it, it is better to make friends with you, one is to send charcoal in the snow to you, you naturally accept his feelings, the second is to keep a clear name, beneficial to the official career, three is after all you are the biological daughter of His Majesty, closer than Zhuwu these half-brothers, and there is no big stake in the throne, both powerful and noble, and no reason for suspicion, is really the best candidate. He has a good vision, so he voted for you in advance, and when you are powerful in a few years, you may not be able to remember who he Li Zhaode is. ”

I smiled and said: "He has a good vision, so don't you and Dugu Shao have a better vision?" I deliberately mentioned Ashao, and sure enough, I saw Cui Mingde frowning slightly, pretending not to hear the name: "It's better to plan the situation than to plan the situation, and it's better to plan things than to plan the time, Li Zhaode is like this, and Erniang should be like this." Your Majesty has been revolutionizing for four years, the world has been decided, and the cool officials want to wantonly plant the company, but there is not much use, and in the four years, the court is empty, the courtiers are all in danger, everyone is in danger, there are many people who are sloppy and patting horses, and there are few people who are immersed in hard work, Your Majesty knows in his heart, and he also intends to leave talents for the court, so that strong people like Li Zhaode have repeatedly offended the cool officials and made blunt admonitions, but they can still stay until now, and Lou Shide, Di Renjie and others can also be recalled from the local government to the capital and entrusted with reuse. At this time, if Erniang can slowly introduce some capable and hard-working people like Li Zhaode to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will take Erniang as your caring. His Majesty has several edicts to seek talents, and Zhu Wu has repeatedly recommended his confidants to His Majesty, but he is in a hurry, and he has too many recommendations, which is inevitably lost, if Erniang can slowly recommend, the recommended people are capable of doing things, His Majesty will take Erniang as a selfless person, and take Zhuwu as a private party, Erniang is His Majesty's own person, the kinship is close, the throne is unhindered, and it is a beautiful and beautiful year, a weak daughter, Zhuwu is His Majesty's nephew, not only separated by a layer, but also eyeing the throne, Wu Chenghei is young and strong, powerful and powerful. Although His Majesty is old, he is in good health, rich and strong in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is personally involved in the government and politics, and the most taboo thing is to divide power and seize power. The people recommended by Erniang, it is best to be about thirty years old, the qualifications are shallow, the prestige is not heavy, it is over-promoted, and it will not cause His Majesty to be suspicious, and these people are talented, and have the blue eyes of nobles, they have been trained in the court for several years, and they will reach a high position, they will be helped by Erniang when they are young and have no foundation, and they must be grateful in their hearts, one person and two people will not hinder the overall situation, ten people, twenty people, but they can control the government, and at that time, what Erniang wants to do, it will be like water, and there is no way to resist. ”

I looked at her dumbfounded, and it took me a long time before I picked up the teacup and handed it to her personally: "Cui Er, you... It would be a pity if a talent like you did not take charge of national affairs. ”

Cui Mingde lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I only dare to hide behind people to calculate—and I will only hide behind my back, and those brave martial arts that charge in front of me always have nothing to do with me." 166 Reading Network
