105. Dong Lao Fox
It's ugly, it's really ugly.
Dong Ge Lao squinted at his eyes decorated with wrinkles and gray eyebrows, and looked at the large flattened cocoon-shaped pot in front of him, and the small spout was extremely difficult to poke the head of a large crystal chrysanthemum. This costume of peacekeeping Cheng dù made Dong Ge's old eyes almost blinded.
Then he covered his eyes, which were almost blinded, and as soon as he turned around, he met Yuan Muyun.
Yes! What a coincidence! Dong Ge's old gray beard shook slightly.
Yuan Muyun has a dazzling face, and he has a smile all year round, because of his strict demeanor and calm speech, the smile is inevitably stained with a bit of unfathomable taste. However, he didn't even smile today--this made Dong Ge Lao wonder if he was really too strict, so he rubbed his eyes harder-
He felt he should stay away.
But as a famous ruler of the government and the opposition, the leader of Shilin, hiding his face and escaping is too bad for his identity after all. So he silently prayed that "those who are close to me die" were written on his face, and Yuan Muyun, who was full of wind and frost, did not see him. Then-Yuan Muyun looked over.
"Yuan Gong." As an elder and the first assistant, he opened his mouth to say hello first, which was a great courtesy.
Yuan Muyun pursed his lips, turned sideways slightly, turned around again, and smiled again: "Ah, Ge Lao." ”
Dong Chang's inexplicable hand shook, and the crutches almost fell off: "Dinggong came to find His Majesty?" Ah, it just so happened that His Majesty was in the imperial study, oh, no, I should have gone to the Dongnuan Pavilion now. ”
He quickly pointed the way, betrayed His Majesty, who had just grabbed his own plan, and decided that the farther away from the battlefield was the better. After all, no matter what Yuan Muyun will do with the emperor, the unlucky ones are all bystanders. I don't know if Yuan Muyun is too insidious or the emperor is too willful, anyway, those who dare to offend these two will think about it later, "I was born to be a human being, I am ashamed." "So what happens when these two finally turn their faces and point their arrows at each other—and in a range that stabs but not kills?
Dong Changcai would not say that he was inexplicably looking forward to it, he stepped forward very kindly and kindly to persuade him, and comforted an unlucky father who was inexplicably robbed of his daughter: "The monarch and the ministers are polite, the young and the old are orderly, there is respect and humility from top to bottom, and the will of Fengtian is greater than the sky." His Royal Highness the King of Qin is heroic, extraordinary, and talented, and is a genius in the sky, with the lord of Rongyi County, who is like a flower and jade, made in heaven. ”
Then, with a little rare pleasure, he watched Yuan Muyun's face get worse and worse.
That's right, His Majesty's decree must be submitted to the cabinet for review, and the head of the cabinet is naturally without exception. This unexpected smoothness almost shocked His Majesty and felt ecstatic, for the first time that he felt that his first assistant was so cute. After all, the person who always asked Liu Yang to be the crown prince was Lao Shen. And Dong Chang didn't vote in favor, and always watched the fire from the other side with a posture of watching the fire.
When the emperor finally decided that even if he offended his brother, he would have to break the boat, Dong Chang suddenly became so powerful! This made his years of prejudice swept away, and in the dragon merit of protecting the crown prince, Dong Chang was ranked in front of Shen Yuan - although the latter has been actively working hard, but after all, it has not been effective, right?
The old fox Dong Chang defeated Shen Yuan from another aspect, Gaomen PK Hanmen, and the former won.
Why didn't you open your mouth before? If it's too easy to get, you won't cherish it. If it weren't for the fact that he had been talking about the establishment of the crown prince five years ago and had dragged on until now, His Majesty would not have thought about how difficult this matter was, and if he couldn't feel the difficulty, how could he appreciate the role of a courtier? To believe in the roughness of His Majesty's thinking, he really couldn't think of it. Therefore, if you don't make a move, you have to wait until his appetite is satisfied, and then at the critical moment, you will make a difference!
In addition, there is another reason, Yuan Muyun has not expressed his position. Dong Chang couldn't be sure what this person who had an extraordinary influence on the Sacred Heart and Divine Will was going to do. Supporting the Four Princes to the Throne? It is not contradictory to seek for the family and the world. But the moment he saw the emperor's decree, Dong Chang knew - the master couldn't wait for it first. He was forcing Yuan Muyun to stand. Standing with himself completely, not some fourth-ranked son.
Then he, as the emperor's first assistant, must stand up at this time: rest assured, I will support you to the end.
The emperor may not be able to figure out the complex game of kings and ministers, but he is righteous. That's enough.
As for Yuan Muyun. Hawkers, when you sent Lin Dianjin to the Shen Mansion and made three Jinshi out at once, it caused me a lot of trouble - not the scientific examination of the juniors, but the public opinion of the government and the opposition, after all, in the eyes of many people, many times Yuan Muyun's approach represents the emperor's intentions.
Dong Chang smiled amiably, like a father-in-law of land. dared to pour oil on the fire of Dingguo Gong so boldly, because he knew that Yuan Muyun would never turn his face - as a rational and keen strategist, he would not and could not. Now the Chen family, which is married by the Dong family, has a lot to do with the Guogong Mansion. To briefly state it, it is the little grandmother of Dong's fiancée, who happens to be Shuheng's deceased grandmother. Maybe when Shuheng sees her in the future, he will have to call his cousin.
"Elder Ge." Yuan Muyun smiled slightly with his hands behind his back, and the brilliant sun above his head was reflected on the glazed tiles, glowing and very bright. "Having said that, your mansion Ling Sun is trying his best to apply for release? Now that the imperial court is employing people, the people's sufferings urgently need to be investigated, Tanhualang is young but not arrogant or impatient, and he is close to the people, which is really commendable. This is really the fortune of His Majesty's court, and when he leaves, remember to inform me, I will definitely have a congratulatory gift. ”
Dong Chang's face immediately drooped.
Dong Huaiyu is very assertive. This is a good thing, Dong Ge Lao has always been very pleased, and he feels stronger than his son. But if you are too assertive, things will be big. Like now.
In general, the first step in the workplace often influences subsequent development and future planning. It is even more important for those scholars who have worked hard to enter the department. In Daxia, after Jinshi High School, there are generally two paths, one is to enter the Hanlin Academy, and the other is to be released. On the surface, it seems that the former is poor and cultivates books, while the latter is freer and can get more exercise at the grassroots level. But in fact, this is not the case, the former is gilded and then put out to brush experience, and later hope to enter the cabinet to touch the center of power, and the latter is likely to be capped in the four foreign positions.
Now, Dong Huaiyu, who is no stranger to the rules of the game, doesn't know why he is pumping and insists on choosing the second path. What's even more sad is that Dong Ge Lao doesn't seem to be able to stop him.
Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned, the skill of piercing the heart Yuan Muyun will never lose to others.
In Dong Chang's stiff smiling face where his flesh hurt so much that his beard was trembling, Yuan Muyun waved his hand and went straight into the Dongnuan Pavilion.
Dong Chang glanced at the window of the carved dragon and phoenix, raised his head very self-sacrificing, and walked into the afterglow of the sunset: Your Majesty, the old minister can only help you get here.
The deacon and eunuch of Dongnuan Pavilion saw Yuan Muyun coming over from a distance, his expression was not quite right, and his very well-trained back bent to meet him: "How is Yuan Gongan?" ”
"Oh, it's so good. Hehe. What is 陛xià doing? ”
"Your Majesty just went to Zhaoren Palace, then to the school, and then to Yong'an Palace, and is now in the house-"
"Pick your feet?"
The eunuch wiped his sweat silently: "Your Majesty has been busy since the morning, and he hasn't stopped for a while, and the servants feel relieved when they see it." ”
"Because he finally stopped messing around, so he breathed a sigh of relief?"
In fact, His Majesty summoned Princess Jing'an's Gan family horse into the palace early in the morning. Weng talked for a long time, and His Majesty was very tolerant and kind. ”
"Oh? Horses? Is it the artist who loves the palace merchant Mu Jiao'e, and is also known as the aesthetic innocence of spiritual exchange? I don't know if his casual singing and frightening problem has changed. ”
"——Later, His Majesty met with the Duke of Fuguo, and Grandpa Xu wanted to set the son as soon as possible, but his old man was moved by the idea of abdicating the throne because of old age and weakness, sickness and disasters."
"Really? Xu Heixiong's tattered body can be used as usual with a few patches, so in such a hurry to abdicate, Mrs. Xiao Yan deducted his wine again? ”
"Calm down." The eunuch secretly wiped his sweat: "Grandpa, slow down, be careful of the steps." Are you feeling better? Are your legs sore? ”
Bang! Yuan Muyun stretched out his foot and kicked open the door, and glanced at him lightly: "It's not sour." ”
The emperor raised his head quietly like a lion in a dark shadow of the sun, and then saw the little eunuch closing the door quickly, flashing quickly, silently covering his face and sighing, and smiling with a smoky face: "Ah, Yuan Qing, don't you accompany your wife to visit the garden today?" ”
Yuan Muyun didn't salute, he looked the king of this country up and down with his hands on his back, and then shook his sleeves and took out the holy decree: "If you hurry up to the Ministry of Rites to take back your order, I can accompany you to the garden." ”
The emperor waved his hands very scoundrelly: "No, no, no, the order changes every day, where is the face of the king of my country?" ”
Yuan Muyun: "I don't know when I targeted my daughter and forcibly married, where is your order for the king of a country?" ”
"Oh, you know, rules have never been able to restrain me."
"The minister remembers that His Majesty once said that he would like to offer flesh and blood to comfort the common people?"
"—all the bastards from the Ministry of Rites! I just said don't brag so badly, it makes people very unhappy to watch, but they just don't listen! You know, a man like me has never disdained to listen to flattery and coax ghosts, so—just listen to that. "The emperor has a long line of question marks in his heart: Is there such a sentence on my official document? How could he be so clear?
"I think Your Majesty should comfort Weichen with flesh and blood now."
"Yuan Qing, don't be so indignant! My son is very good, and he will be the emperor in the future. Rong Yi is so beautiful, so beautiful, she should be the most noble woman in the world! I hurt her. You see that you love her so much, I don't leave her a unique place in the world! The emperor's expression was as sincere as a husky that had gnawed enough bones: "You have to believe me." ”
"Ah, I believe you." Yuan Muyun smiled, suddenly swung his fist, and rushed straight to the other side's door.
"Ahhh You're going to kill the king! ”
When the guard on duty outside the door heard this, he grabbed the knife and rushed in, but was stopped by the eunuch: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." ”
"Someone is going to threaten the dragon body."
"Who, who's threatening the dragon body. Calm and calm. ”
The soldiers were ponging, things were falling, and broken items were still ringing intermittently, and the guards were loyal and worried: "They're fighting? ”
"His Majesty is being beaten, and he doesn't dare to fight back."
The guard was taken aback, "The weak Dingguo Gong is so strong?" ”
The eunuch glanced at him with a caring fool's eyes, and patiently explained: "I don't dare because Yuan Guogong can't bear it, and in the end, it's His Majesty who feels guilty." ”
"—what do we do then?"
"Close your eyes and don't look. Cover your ears and don't listen. ”
After a few words, it didn't stop inside, and the loyal guard couldn't stand it anymore: "How long will Your Majesty be beaten?" ”
"Just a while. There is a sense of proportion. ”
Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, the room was calm, and the emperor's voice sounded again: "Don't keep a straight face if you beat it, King Qin, you also know it, it's not bad at all, Lang is talented and beautiful, made in heaven, our Uncle Lang has become a family member, and the relationship is closer, isn't it good?" ”
It was full of neutrality, but occasionally mixed with the sound of cold air, the guards breathed a sigh of relief: Yuan Guogong was really measured.
Actually, I still don't want to get too close. Yuan Muyun silently rubbed his wrist and sat on the big chair filled with red sandalwood carved lacquer on the side, and said in his heart: Distance produces IQ, stupidity and willfulness are all contagious things.
The eunuch pushed the door in with a smile, and the guard grabbed him: "Can you enter now?" ”
"Pack up your things, it's time for tea."
is worthy of being a personal eunuch who has experienced wind and waves! The rookie guard suddenly looked up to the mountain.
