Although it is still in the first month, the ice on the lake has disappeared, leaving only a pool of clear water, sparkling in this gentle breeze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The remnant snow on the willow branches by the lake melts, and with the sound of the wind, it sways gently, like a graceful girl, dancing lightly with a beautiful figure, even if there is no trace of green, it looks particularly happy.

Li Zhi casually grabbed a weeping willow branch stretched to the edge of the pavilion, as if he was very interested in carefully studying the plump leaf buds on the willow branch, and nodded frequently if he had gained something.

"Hmmm! It seems that it won't be long before this willow branch will spit green! ”

Wang Renyou, the Duke of Wei, sat under Li Zhi's hand with a strange expression.

A court robe that had not been changed since the morning was tightly wrapped around his body, and somehow, it made him feel a little depressed, and the smile on Li Zhi's face made him more and more irritated.

"Your Majesty! The courtier heard that the emperor did not celebrate the New Year with the empress on Chinese New Year's Eve, but I don't know if there is such a thing? Wang Renyou's face was not very good-looking, and his voice was deep, as if he was forcibly suppressing something.

"Hmmm! Is this indeed the case, is Wei Guogong here for this matter? Li Zhi took a sip of tea as if absent-mindedly, but the corner of his eye stared closely at the expression on Wang Renyou's face.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Renyu's cheeks twitched, and he forcibly held back his anger and said: "Ancestral rules, Chinese New Year's Eve is the end of the year, the beginning of the new year, according to the rule, the emperor should observe the New Year with the empress, thinking that the country will pray for blessings in the coming year, how can the emperor be so neglectful of social affairs?" ”

"I just forgot it for a while, Wei Guogong doesn't have to mind." Li Zhi looked at Wang Renyou with a smile, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

Is this an attempt to command him with the rules of his ancestors? Wang Renyou is too whimsical! Propriety? The rules are all set by people, and since someone sets it, someone must break it!

"Your Majesty! This is not an example! Wang Renyou got up and knelt down as soon as he bowed to Li Zhi, and continued: "Although the daughter of the old minister is the queen of the day, but for the sake of my Tang Sheji, the old minister still has to dissuade the emperor, the rules of the ancestors, the difference between the concubines, the emperor must strictly abide by it, without this layer of rules, my Datang is in danger!" ”

"The difference between the concubines? Ancestral rules? The smile in Li Zhi's eyes was a little sarcastic, and there was no joy or anger in his faint words.

"Then according to the meaning of Wei Guogong, the first emperor did not abide by these rules at the beginning, shouldn't my Tang Dynasty be in danger a long time ago?"

"That's not what the old minister meant!" Wang Renyou's face changed abruptly, he only cared about the word rules and said happily, but he forgot that Emperor Taizong was not a person who obeyed the rules in the first place!

As soon as he thought of the felony of insulting the former emperor, Wang Renyou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and kowtowed heavily.

"That's it! Wei Guogong! I know what you mean, you don't have to say it again. Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand, but the curvature he pulled up did not extend to the bottom of his eyes.

"If Wei Guogong is in such a hurry to see me just to say this, I already know that Wei Guogong can retreat. The queen is your daughter, and I understand your feelings, but there is a difference between inside and outside, and Wei Guogong doesn't have to worry about the things in this palace, I have my own measure. ”

Li Zhi condescendingly looked at Wang Renyou, who was kneeling in front of him, his hair was already half white, and the light in his eyes flickered. Wang Renyou will come to him in a hurry after the next court, and he has long known that he has already known it.

What Li Zhi did not expect was that when Wang Renyou met him, he was not talking about Enke, but about the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil. It seems that Wang Yuyan, the concubine, was still quite loved by Wang Renyou when she was in the boudoir, otherwise, his first reaction after seeing him was to ask for an explanation for his daughter.

It seems that she wants to look at her own queen anew! Li Zhi slowly tapped on the stone platform in front of him, and the corners of his mouth showed the first seemingly gentle smile since he saw Wang Renyou.

Wang Renyou knelt in front of Li Zhi, his slightly lowered head blocked Li Zhi's gaze in front of him, and his clenched teeth almost crushed the somewhat shaky teeth in his mouth.

The man in front of him is the emperor of the current Tang Dynasty! Even though he knew that his daughter had been wronged, there was no way to change all this.

Although the emperor is still a little jealous of the huge family power behind his royal family, but this situation is gradually changing, today's family family, enough to compete with the new ministers for the length of the day is less and less, to the current Yonghui three years, the children of the family are mostly in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, and the most important criminal department, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the power of the family is shrinking significantly, which is why he has to bow his head to compromise.

He needs time to deploy, to make the family's power more consolidated, and these are based on the queen being able to conceive the emperor's heir, if the queen is pregnant with the dragon species, as long as the prince is born, then he can sit firmly in the middle palace, and then, once the emperor has a ...... Then, the world will be the world of his royal family, and the royal family will definitely be able to last forever!

But now the emperor's attitude made him shudder, showing his neglect of the queen without scruples, which made the situation in front of Wang Renyou extremely passive, and the head of the Lu family had expressed his dissatisfaction more than once, and even proposed to send the daughter of the Lu family into the palace not long ago.

If the daughter of the Lu family enters the palace, what will Yuyan do?

"Your Majesty! The old minister is not here for this matter, in the final analysis, this matter is still the emperor's family matter, the old minister is just a reminder for the emperor, and he doesn't want the emperor to damage the ancestral foundation due to temporary negligence. Wang Renyou suppressed the anger in his heart and paused slightly.

"Thank you Wei Guogong for reminding me, and I will pay more attention." Li Zhi dusted his sleeves and raised his hand, signaling Wang Renyou to return to his original seat and sit down.

"The old minister is actually here for a trivial matter, but it is related to the first emperor, so he came to ask the emperor after the next dynasty." Wang Renyou said as if unintentionally.

"Oh? What is it? Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept away, and he keenly noticed the gloom that flashed on Wang Renyou's face.

"The old minister has the emperor's love, he has to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he doesn't dare to be a little sparse. I don't want to think a few days ago, the old minister suddenly got a news, the original Qing in the Ganye Temple in the Qing Dynasty concubine actually lost a few years ago, because the matter involved the first emperor, so the old minister had to report to the emperor, but also ask the emperor to decide. ”

Wang Renyou said slowly, the light in his eyes was uncertain, like peeping, like proud.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Li Zhizhuang was extremely surprised, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that Wang Renyou finally can't help it!

"The old minister also didn't believe it, but, according to the minister sent the Ministry of Rites Lang official to check, the original number of widows in the Ganye Temple, except for those who died over the years, there is indeed a person who is not in the temple, the old minister is puzzled, when he inquired about the abbot of the Ganye Temple, the abbot didn't know what he asked, the old minister was terrified, so he had to come to report to the emperor, and hoped that the emperor would investigate thoroughly!"

Wang Renyou looked at Li Zhi and secretly despised Li Zhi's pretentious posture in his heart.

Everyone has been taken away by him, but now he is still putting on a look of not knowing anything in front of him, looking at him Wang Renyou is a fool?

"Hmmm! This matter is indeed strange, it is related to the reputation of the first emperor, and someone must be sent to investigate it thoroughly! Li Zhi opened his mouth with a cold face, turned around and swept over Xiao Chengzi, waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chengzi!" General Xuanqin came in for me. ”

Xiao Chengzi neatly waved the dust in his hand, bowed down and said, "Yes!" ”

Wang Renyou watched Li Zhi wave his hand and put Xiao Chengzi out of the pavilion, the smile on his face suddenly became obvious, and he picked up the tea that had been cold for a long time in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Wei Guogong has worked hard for state affairs, and he is really hard work, and I am very relieved!" Li Zhi smiled at Wang Renyou's pretentious appearance, and pushed the jujube paste peach kernel cake on the table in front of Wang Renyou carelessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Renyou smiled and took a jujube cake, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

"Your Majesty! This time Enke has a great relationship, I don't know if the emperor has a conclusion about the main exam? Today, there is a fierce dispute in the court, and it is better to make a decision early on this matter! ”

After swallowing the jujube cake, Wang Renyou turned his head and suddenly said to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked at Wang Renyou with a smile and said lightly: "I don't know what Wei Guogong has in mind?" ”

"I have ten ways in the Tang Dynasty, three hundred and sixty states, and there are many talents, and the emperor's opening of Enke is really of great benefit to my Datang, but it is just ...... My Datang has a vast area, a large population, and the good and the bad are uneven, if you rely on the strength of one person, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the talents of the world! ”

When Wang Renyou said this, his tone paused, and he paused for a moment and said: "The old minister thinks that it is better to nominate virtuous people by officials and gentry and celebrities everywhere within the ten realms for reference, so that talented people without virtue will not cause trouble to my Tang Sheji!" ”

Wang Renyou's words are really a last resort, all states and provinces, most of the students from the poor family have passed the children of the family, if the emperor is allowed to collect all the talents in the world, then those students from humble backgrounds, once they enter the official family, and there are people such as Yu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji to manipulate them behind their backs, then the family will be in danger.

This is also the reason why Wang Renyou suddenly brought up the sensitive incident of Ganye Temple at this time, and he only used this matter as a bargaining chip in exchange for Li Zhi's compromise.

Now, his conditions have been opened, and the next step for the sky-high price is to see how Li Zhi lands and pays back the money!

"Wei Guogong's words are very reasonable, and I also have a headache about Enke!" Li Zhi stroked the corners of his forehead, made a headache, and continued: "According to the meaning of the eldest grandson, since Enke is named Enke, it is natural that all scholars in the world can enter the school for reference, but it is really difficult to take a scholar!" ”

"Your Majesty! Enke is a matter of social affairs, and the emperor is careless! Wang Renyou persuaded him.

Li Zhi's evasion was expected by him, but this matter was not up to him to talk about him, since he put forward this condition, Li Zhi was no longer willing, and he had to say a way.

"So be it! I discussed with the eldest grandson to see, if Wei Guogong thinks that one person is not enough to win the world's famous scholars, then we will set up a few more examiners, so that it is better to take a few more scholars, what does Wei Guogong think? Li Zhi replied slowly.

Wang Renyou's conditions were expected by him, and it has been a practice to take people by name since ancient times, and there are many people in the family among these famous people. If there is one more family examiner, then according to the examination rules of Jingyi and Jinshike, there will naturally be many people from the family.

Listening to Li Zhi's plan, Wang Renyou looked slightly disappointed, looking at Li Zhi's appearance, I am afraid that it will not work to take the prestige of the scholar, is this the main exam...... If you can really add a few people from the family, you may still have some room for maneuver if you rely on Yu Suiliang alone.

It's just that...... Isn't the matter of Ganye Temple enough to affect Li Zhi? Should I consider the method that the Lu family said? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
