Chapter 137: The Emperor is ruthless
Not to mention what Queen Pei of Fengxiang Palace thinks and how she arranges it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Emperor Yongtai went to the court, Xuanlu Pavilion went to the imperial study, and the purpose was naturally not to chat with him.
Lu Ge has been in the officialdom for decades and has won the title of "good man".
Many people think that he is weak, but it is undeniable that he is very good at peeking into people's hearts.
His Majesty the Emperor is completely tired of these old men, but he still has some scruples, afraid that he will attack too quickly and too ruthlessly, which will not be conducive to the stability of the court.
It's not that he, Lu Mingcheng, is thick-skinned, but he is unwilling to be a leader in the cabinet, but in fact, none of the children of the Lu family can make a trip, and if he doesn't pave a smooth road for them, how can he be worthy of the ancestors of the Lu family?
For this reason, he even sacrificed Xiao Jiu, who is the most beloved and has the best posture.
He knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor and Gu Yunnian had a long-standing contradiction, and he would not tolerate him sitting in the position of the first assistant all the time.
But he always thought that even if Emperor Yongtai wanted to move the cabinet, he would move Gu Yunnian first, and then he would be his second assistant who just wanted to live in peace.
Gu Yunnian is still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, what is he anxious about?
Especially the holy decree at the beginning of the year that allowed the princes to apprentice, which really made Lu Mingcheng overjoyed.
He never said more than half a word on the matter of Lichu, but he was not without any ideas.
Of the five princes of the same age, the second and third princes have the greatest chance.
He became the teacher of the prince, maybe he will be the emperor in the future, and the future of the Lu family still needs to worry?
Therefore, in the past three months, he has spent many years of unused effort to teach the second prince seriously, but he didn't expect him to quickly stand out among the princes, so he wanted to pass on to him the experience of being an official and a man for decades.
Although the second prince has some minor problems, he is smart and willing to learn, which makes him quite optimistic about the future of this disciple.
I didn't think about it......
I don't know what the bastard second prince has done, and I don't know if I can get past this level.
Lu Ge Lao was full of anxiety and followed the little eunuch who led the way into the imperial study.
"The old minister sees my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live. He bowed very respectfully to Emperor Yongtai, who was sitting behind the dragon book case.
"Lu Qing is flat and gives a seat. ”
"Your Majesty, Old Minister. ”
Lu Ge Lao sat down on the chair, although he didn't dare to look directly at Emperor Yongtai, he was a little weak by his burning gaze.
He smiled reluctantly: "Your Majesty Xuan Lao Chen ......"
Emperor Yongtai had actually been looking at Lu Ge Lao's meticulously combed bun although it was almost white.
Hearing him take the initiative to speak, Emperor Yongtai laughed dryly: "Time flies, Lu Qing is really old." ”
Lu Ge Lao beat a small drum in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and replied: "The old minister is already over the age of six, and he is indeed not young. ”
"I'm just casually sighing, Lu Qing sits. Emperor Yongtai waved his hand and said: "At the beginning of February, I assigned tasks to several Qing families, and seeing that it is almost four months old, I don't know what the situation is on Lu Qing's side?"
Lu Ge Lao only felt that he was sweating all over his body, how should he answer this?
Does it mean that His Royal Highness has made a lot of progress in his studies, or does it mean that the second prince has not learned well at all if he scatters fish for three days and dries nets for two days?
Emperor Yongtai didn't want to listen to his answer after careful consideration, and said coldly: "The eldest prince is reckless by nature and is the most reluctant to study, and he has made a lot of progress by following Gu Ge Lao's side for four months, and he gave me an excerpt a few days ago, and his words and dictionaries are very accurate and incisive.
The third prince has been close to Dong Qing for four months, and he has swept away the previous Wen Tun style, and his actions have gradually become more aggressive and more practical; the fourth prince has learned a body of rules and etiquette with Ouyang Qing's family, which is much more stable than before; and the fifth prince has also been trained by Yuan Aiqing to be a literary style.
Lu Qing is really too old, and he can't even figure out what the condition of his disciple is!"
Elder Lu Ge is now more and more sure that the second prince has really done a bastard thing to anger His Majesty.
He knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a mournful voice: "The old minister is guilty, and I implore my emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown." ”
Fame and fortune are loved by everyone, but they are nothing compared to the life of the family.
Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly: "Lu Qing is decisive this time. ”
Lu Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The old minister doesn't dare." ”
Emperor Yongtai said softly: "Stand up and reply, I am not a faint king, and I don't like to take pleasure in torturing courtiers." ”
"Yes......" Lu Ge Lao hurriedly stood up with his knees, but he didn't dare to sit down.
Emperor Yongtai said: "The first time I saw Lu Qing, I was not yet ten years old, and at that time you were still serving in the Hanlin Academy, and you were a great talent comparable to Gu Yunnian.
Father cherishes talents, knowing that you don't have the heart to rule the country, he still tried his best to promote you to the cabinet, but you have made no achievements over the years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a corpse vegetarian meal!"
Lu Ge Lao didn't expect Emperor Yongtai to be so faceless, and his words were so ugly, he wanted to kneel down again but didn't dare, so he had to bow down and listen to the hadith.
Emperor Yongtai let out a sigh of relief and said: "Zhishi is approved, there is no need to return to your hometown, in the future, you will continue to be the teacher of the second prince, and give him all your poetry and song skills." ”
Elder Lu Ge hurriedly gave a deep salute: "Your Majesty, Old Minister, I will definitely do my best in the future." ”
But I already understand most of it in my heart.
No matter how noble the identity of the prince is, no matter how powerful the Pei family is, he will be out of play after all!
Emperor Yongtai was about to say a few more words to Lu Ge, but Liu Shun walked in with an ugly face.
He took into account the presence of Lu Ge Lao, and it was difficult to speak too clearly, so he only put his lips to Emperor Yongtai's ear.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said a few words, Emperor Yongtai shouted: "What is there to be embarrassed to say, you can't raise your godfather's mistakes, you can't teach your teacher strictly, you can't teach your teacher to be lazy, and if you do a bastard thing, you will lose your old face as a father, and you may not be glorious as a teacher!"
Lu Ge Lao was cold in his heart, and the bastard thing was in trouble again!
Could it be that his old life is really going to be buried here!
People who can do great things are generally ruthless.
In the past few years since Emperor Yongtai ascended the throne, except for Prince Ke, who exchanged the gold mountain for the prince's title, the courtiers have not had the opportunity to realize how ruthless he is.
At least compared to the previous emperor, His Majesty is much gentler today.
But a few days later, His Majesty, the seemingly "gentle" emperor, re-demonstrated what happened in the Xuande Dynasty to the courtiers.
The ninth day of June is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and Emperor Yongtai issued a holy decree three days before this big day.
The eldest prince Yuwenyi is the king of Ning, the third prince Yuwenyi is the king of Thailand, the fourth prince Yuwenkai is the king of Yi, and the fifth prince Yuwenyi is the king of An, but the only thing that is missing is the prince Yuwenheng.
Lin Sese's matter was not exposed, and the matter of Dong Ge's old beating of Dong Yuexin did not spread.
But a pregnant woman called the door and caused the second princess to miscarry, but the news was spreading.
Some people say that His Royal Highness has lost the emperor's heart if he does not cultivate his private virtues.
Some people say that His Royal Highness wooed the salt merchants with the intention of seeking a storage position.
Some people also say that it is not necessarily a bad thing that His Royal Highness has not been crowned king, why should someone who wants to be a prince be crowned king?
Only the second prince Yu Wenheng knew that this was really called the ruthlessness of the emperor.
