Chapter 64 Emperor's Heart

When Wei Heming walked into the imperial study, the emperor was looking focused, holding the wolf and dropping the last stroke. When he saw him come in, he put down his pen and looked much more relaxed.

See Holy Lord. Before Wei Heming's salute was finished, he saw the emperor beckoning at him and motioning him to step forward.

Wei Heming stood on the side of the bookcase, and the emperor pointed to the words on the table and asked him with a smile: "Wei Tanhua, look, how is I writing this word?"

Wei Heming looked at it, and only smiled and said, "Peaceful and upright, with the style of a benevolent monarch." ”

The emperor laughed: "You can talk more than your father, do you know what Wei Qing said back then?"

Wei Heming looked puzzled.

The emperor deliberately kept a straight face, but he really looked a little like Wei Shangshu: "One board and one eye, there are no characteristics." ”

Wei Heming said in his heart, this is really what his own father can say.

The emperor looked very kind, chatted with him for a few words, and then sighed with a smile: "Wei Qing really gave birth to a good son." ”

Wei Heming was also not humble, and said: "It's good to say this to my father a few more times, and it will save him from thinking that I am idle and not doing my job every day." ”

The emperor did not mention the palace change, from beginning to end, it was like an elder talking to his children and nephews, Wei Heming also answered fluently, and the two monarchs and ministers were happy.

Although the eunuchs around him stood with their heads bowed, their hearts were like a mirror: from now on, the future of this Wei Tanhua is really limitless.

The ministers of the court and the central government also knew that the three heroes who had been rescued this time were Chu Fengge, the vassal king and the emperor's thorn in the heart; the general stationed in Beijing had passed the age of his establishment, and he was honest and loyal, and his future was limited; this Wei Tanhua alone, his father was a pure minister, his family relationship was simple, and he had some talent -- even if he did not have the affection to save the driver, he should have to help all the way.

The emperor asked a few more questions about Wei Shangshu's current situation, raised his hand and retreated from everyone, and only a few eunuch palace people stood in place.

The emperor said: "Wei Qing and I are not young, Wei Qing is lucky, I have such a worry-free person, my luck is not as good as him." ”

Wei Heming pursed his lips and said, "The Holy Heaven carries it, how can there be a sense of luck?"

The emperor smiled dumbly, although his face was no longer young, his eyes were still scorching: "You don't have to say this, you and Hong'er are still young, sooner or later it is the time for you to show your strengths, but Hong'er is young and quick-tempered, you can mention more." ”

Wei He was silent and bowed down to make a big salute.

Chu Hong is the crown prince of the later position, his name is not right, and it is difficult to gain a firm foothold, and the emperor is trying his best to pave the way for his beloved son.

He knew what the emperor meant, but he was going to live up to this entrustment after all.

The emperor waved his hand, motioned for him to get up, and asked casually, "You have a deep friendship with King Wenrui?"

Wei Heming's expression was calm: "The minister and the prince are classmates of the country's eunuch. ”

The emperor sighed: "You also told him about the strange appearance of King Jiaodong that day?"

After the palace change, the three of them were asked how they learned about the palace change, and Wei Heming told the reason for his previous life.

He replied in a proper manner: "There were many royal relatives in the palace that day, only the prince had a good relationship with the minister, and the minister had no evidence, and he was not sure of the intention of the king of Jiaodong, so he had to discuss with the prince."

The emperor didn't say much, but only meant: "Next time if you have an idea, you can talk to Hong'er." ”

Wei Heming replied respectfully "yes", lowered his head slightly, and covered the look in his eyes very well.

The emperor seemed to be a little interested: "How did you think that the guard was the king of Jiaodong that day?"

The minister didn't dare to confirm it at the time, but the two looked really similar. The minister had a younger sister, who also played the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars when she was young, and she also attracted a good beating from her father, and she was really impressed, and she thought more about it that day-" Wei Heming explained.

"You didn't think much about it, I still have to thank Wei Qing for the call he gave you back then-" The emperor asked again: "Your sister exchanged with you, and no one found out?"

Wei Heming said: "When I was young, my facial features were not opened, and my sister and my minister looked alike, and sometimes I couldn't even tell my father apart. ”

The Emperor laughed when he heard this.

Wei Heming could have told Yu Yuan about the test on behalf of another country at this time, and the emperor would not blame him, so he would have a share in the emperor's place, so that he would not have to worry about being discovered in the future, so that Wei Yuyuan's talent could see the light of day.

But he didn't dare to say it.

The emperor is unpredictable, Ah Yu is not an ordinary woman, if the emperor has other thoughts, then he is afraid that he will die.

After the emperor chatted with him, he also told him about Xinxue before leaving, and said: "A few days ago, I received a fold, you did a very good job, it can be seen that you are a good practice, studying in Hanlin is inevitably deserted, I intend to change places for you to stay in a different place." ”

It's just a mention, where to go and what to do is not said, but these words are enough for the courtiers to guess.

As soon as Wei Heming left the palace gate, he was lazy in the carriage and became a puddle of mud, and said with a wooden face: "King Wenrui said that the arrow wound was attacked. ”

Wei Heming waved his hand and chuckled: "He won't have a seizure one day, don't go, let's go home." ”

Ji Run answered "yes" outside the curtain, but did not go to the front to catch the car.

Without blinking, Wei Heming raised the curtain again: "That's it, let's go to the bookstore first, and then go to see him at night." ”

"Yes. Zhu Run's face became more wooden, and then he went to catch the car.

Wei Heming was thinking about the emperor's words to him in the car, obviously asking him to be closer to Chu Hong and stay away from Chu Fengge, an unstable element.

There is also his transfer, in his previous life, for various reasons, he sat in the position of Dali Siqing before Chu Shen ascended the throne, and I don't know where the emperor will put him in this life.

Half of the night when he arrived at the bookstore in the east of the city, Wei Heming jumped out of the carriage.

This bookstore is closer to Chu Fengge's palace, he doesn't come often on weekdays, and there are many scholars in the bookstore at this time, so no one knows him.

Most scholars are looking for scripture history, only Wei Heming found an idle letter and turned two pages, and put it down with some pity - this "Snow Sword and Frost Knife" is good-looking, but I have read it several times in my previous life.

Wei Heming rummaged around in this bookstore.

I happened to hear that those scholars were chatting about Xinxue, and one said: "I heard that Xinxue is going to recruit a group of students this year, and I don't know how many people are going." ”

One next to him said: "I'm afraid that no one will respond, the new learning is not for officials, but for officials, once you become an official, it will be difficult to be an official again." ”

All the scholars agreed.

But I heard a young man in white say next to him: "If you don't do it, some ordinary people will do it, don't look at it as a small official, it will be useful to send it to various places." ”

The scholar shook his head: "Local officials will recruit some small officials, and no one has ever bothered so much about small officials throughout the ages, so why bother to do this?"

After going back and forth, the young man in white actually quarreled with this group of scholars, and Wei Heming listened to it interestingly, so he turned the bookshelf to see the excitement.

But he didn't want the white-clothed young man to be overjoyed when he saw him: "Wei Yu, you are back, I can't argue with them alone, you tell them!"

Wei Heming was stunned, he was sure that he had never seen this young man in white, but when he heard him call himself "Wei Yu", something suddenly flashed in his mind.

The young man was still calling him: "Wei Yu, what are you doing in a daze, didn't you tell me about Xinxue a few days ago?"

Wei Heming showed a smile and stepped forward to bow his hand to the scholars: "Would you like to listen to me?"

When those scholars saw that he was dressed in official robes, although his grade was not high, he was dignified, but they were a little patient: "Please speak up this lord." ”

Wei Heming said slowly: "All of you have a small family with a small property, and you have been in the cold for ten years, so you naturally want to be an official. However, the common people can be fed and clothed at most, and it is difficult for them to read and write, and if they study for a few years, they will be able to become officials, and wouldn't it be a good thing? ”

The scholars looked at each other, and the one at the beginning frowned and said: "That's the case, but my dynasty has always been elected by local officials, and Xinxue is only convenient for those people, so what benefit does it benefit the country?"

Wei Heming's expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at the scholar approvingly: "This brother Tai knows a lot about the rule of officials. ”

Somehow, the scholar was a little happy: "Passed the award." ”

"Brother Tai is right, but I don't know, what are the standards for the implementation of official recruitment?" Wei Heming asked, and those scholars looked at each other, but he said calmly. "Shangguan recruits officials, it all depends on their likes and dislikes, and no one reviews them, they don't know how to read books, they don't understand the law when they want to steal and catch quickly, they can't hold knives, and even worse, they have bad morals and fish and meat people, and there are countless people. Hundreds of officials are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, but the officials are the right-hand men of the officials.

Wei Heming said a lot in one breath, and when he saw that these scholars were silent, he knew that they all understood: "You look down on the officials, but you don't know that they are the closest people to the people. ”

At this time, even the young man in white was a little surprised, and looked at him for a long time.

The scholar arched his hand: "Your Excellency's intelligence is really a shame." ”

Wei Heming waved his hand: "It's just the words of a family, listen to it, listen to it." ”

The scholar wanted to say more, but he heard the young man in white exclaim at the door: "Wei Yu!"

Wei Heming raised his eyes and looked out of the door, there was a young man in green clothes, his appearance was the same as him, only a little more quiet and simple than him, and he smiled slightly when he saw him.

Wei Yuyuan.

Finally seeing this face similar to himself again, Wei Heming couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

The young man in white stared at the two of them dumbfounded: "You, you"

Wei Yuyuan was the first to step in, smiling at Wei Heming: "Brother, you are also here." ”

Chong Wei Heming squeezed his eyes.

It was the first time Wei Heming saw Yu Yuan jumping out like this, coughed, and arched his hand: "Brother." ”

The young man in white woke up like a dream: "I said how did you go out to buy some pastries, and when you came back, you changed into an official robe and grew taller, this is your younger brother." ”

Wei Heming arched his hand rather amusedly: "Yes, in Xia Wei He." He remembered that Ah Yu's kana was two words.

Wei Yuyuan pretended to say to him: "This is my friend who was in an affair, surnamed Xiao, and his name is Xu. ”

Wei Heming was stunned: Xiao Xu?

It was this man.
