Chapter 127: The Emperor's Mind Technique
When a small person is not so important, remember to keep brushing the sense of existence in front of the big person, brushing in various ways, it is difficult to brush until the big person wants to forget you, and you can dream that you are smiling at him in your dreams, the real "soul lingering dream".
After becoming a nightmare for the big guys, the little guys are one step closer to success or death, and the big guys either promote you or kill you.
This is the meaning of "seeking wealth and danger".
Gu Qingtuo and Li Guangbi entered the palace to deliver wine, just to brush up on their sense of existence.
It's just that he didn't expect Li Longji to be more shrewd than he imagined, whether he is a wise or a mediocre emperor, as long as he has a strong desire for power, then his ability to control the national capital is very terrifying, what happens every day in the national capital, no matter how big or small, as long as he wants to know, he will definitely be able to know.
Therefore, before Li Guangbi sent wine into the palace, Li Longji heard Gao Lishi mention Gu Qing, and even thought of some people and things in the court from Gu Qing's incident, and his impression of Gu Qing was very deep.
Looking at the jar of wine held by the eunuch in both hands, Li Longji smiled playfully.
How should we evaluate Gu Qing? In Li Longji's eyes, Gu Qing is generally a person who knows the rules, has talent, strategy, and some inexplicable skills, such as creating a sand table. Such a young man, it is said that he should be very arrogant, there are many people in the world who are arrogant and arrogant, and with a little talent, he feels that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and the common problem of young man, Li Longji has seen countless such people over the years.
However, Gu Qing is talented but still knows how to pat on the back, and he is still very clever, using a serious way and the most elegant words to say the most flattering sycophants, what "unique plum bottle", what "natural beauty is difficult to give up", what "closed moon and shy flowers", shoot so righteous and stern, as if telling the truth of the sages in the most serious tone.
Just when Li Longji thought that it was not a good thing for a young man to be too old, Gu Qing made an appropriate mistake at the right time, and beat people with three punches, beating the son of a rather subtle palace servant in the court, the young man's impulsive nature was clear at a glance, and Li Longji felt that Gu Qing was actually not so well-behaved.
Respectful to the high-ranking people.,But there's no reverence for the middle-level people.,When you get into trouble, you immediately ask someone to enter the palace to give gifts.,The scheming city seems to be very deep but not so deep.,Very interesting young man.。
Each emperor has his own different way of using talents, some only look at the talent of governing the country, some prefer flattering ministers, and some first look at not talent, but whether they can be controlled by themselves, and the courtiers who can control are good courtiers.
Li Longji likes courtiers who are easy to be controlled by himself, the emperor who single-handedly created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and his desire for power is very terrifying, he wants to control everything, not only to control the country and the court, but also to control the hearts of the people.
The kind of courtier who is stable and does not make mistakes all his life, and has no desire for all material temptations, needs to be wary of Li Longji. "No seeking" means that he actually has greater desires, but they are hidden deeply.
Judging from Gu Qing's various performances, he seems to be a courtier who is easy to control, talented, able to pat on the back, roughly understands the rules, and can't control his temper and occasionally makes some innocuous little mistakes, and immediately after making a mistake, he makes a childish act that makes people laugh and cry when he asks someone to give a gift to the emperor.
Is it easy to control? Seems like a no-brainer.
"Gu Qing has just joined Zuowei, and Li Qing seems to be very familiar with him?" Li Longji looked at Li Guangbi with a smile.
Li Guangbi lowered his head and said: "Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, Gu Qing's parents are the deceased of the minister's early years, his parents died ten years ago, and the minister just wants to do his best for the deceased." ”
Li Longji said in surprise: "Didn't Gu Qing come out of a mountain village in Shuzhou?" Do you know his parents? ”
"A relationship many years ago, his parents stayed in Chang'an for a few years."
Li Longji nodded with a smile and didn't continue to ask, it wasn't that he didn't want to know what the relationship between Gu Qing's parents and Li Guangbi was, but he didn't believe anyone's words, the only one around him who could trust was Gao Lishi, and he was waiting for Gao Lishi's investigation results on Gu Qing.
Shifting his gaze to the jar of wine, Li Longji pointed to the jar of wine and said with a smile: "This is the wine that Gu Qing gave me?" ”
"Yes, Gu Qing said that he made it himself in Shuzhou, this wine is quite strong, and it is easy to get drunk."
Li Longji laughed: "I want to see how strong the wine in Shuzhou is, since it is brewed in Shuzhou, how can the drinking be without my lady, General Gao, go and pass on the concubine Taizhen." ”
Gao Lishi said with a smile on the side: "Someone has been sent to pass it on, and Concubine Taizhen will be there soon." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Guifei came surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and walked into the hall like a moon of stars.
Li Guangbi hurriedly saluted Yang Guifei.
Li Longji beckoned and smiled: "Lady come quickly, your little fellow has offered another thing, the liquor he brewed himself, the lady comes to try it." ”
Yang Guifei said happily: "What a smart child, it seems that he can do anything, even wine, the concubine has to taste it." ”
Saying that Yang Guifei sat down, Gao Lishi took the wine jar from the eunuch's hand, and was about to pour wine for Li Longji and Yang Guifei, when he suddenly found a note pasted on the north side of the wine jar, on which a poem was written.
Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the wine sent by Gu Qing actually has a poem attached to it......
Li Longji raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I'll see. ”
Yang Guifei also came over curiously. Li Longji read slowly: "'Singing during the day must be indulged in wine, and youth is a good companion to return to the hometown'......"
The handwriting on the paper is very neat, not Gu Qing's words, but Li Guangbi helped Gu Qing copy it again, there is no way, Gu Qing's stinky hand Li Guangbi really didn't dare to show Li Longji, for fear of being accused of insulting the king.
Yang Guifei read this poem twice, and wondered: "Why did Gu Qing write this poem?" Brainless ......"
Li Longji showed a thoughtful expression, and then suddenly smiled.
"Lady, this little countryman of yours, I am probably wronged, and my heart is uncomfortable."
Yang Guifei was in the harem, and she rarely heard about the affairs outside the palace, so she said puzzledly: "What grievances did Gu Qing suffer?" ”
Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi with a smile, Gao Lishi understood, and told Gu Qing from beginning to end about beating Lu Chengping and then being taken to the Left Guard Prison.
Yang Guifei was immediately unhappy after hearing this, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and her charming red lips were pursed tightly, Li Longji Rao had been married to her for many years, and she couldn't help but be moved at this moment.
Beauty is beauty, a smile, light anger and anger are rare scenery in the world. Li Longji couldn't help but be satisfied, this ash was not in vain.
"Your Majesty, Zuo Wei's handling of things is too unreasonable, it is obvious that the evil words surnamed Lu hurt people first, why did he only take Gu Qing to prison? If it is right or wrong, the person surnamed Lu is the first evil, Gu Qing is just forced to teach him a lesson, Your Majesty ......" Yang Guifei shook Li Longji's arm dissatisfiedly.
Li Longji looked at her funny: "But it was Gu Qing who hurt people first." ”
"But if a little bloody young man is scolded, most of them will do it, San Lang, you have to be reasonable."
Li Longji was shaken by the coquettish Yang Guifei, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I am naturally reasonable......"
Pointing to the poem in front of him, Li Longji smiled and said, "Do you know the deep meaning of Gu Qing's poem?" ”
Yang Guifei thought for a while and said, "There seems to be some joy in the poems, but how can Gu Qingren make joyful poems when he is in prison, the concubine feels that it is not quite right......"
Li Longji smiled and explained: "The sentence 'Singing during the day must indulge in wine' is for me and my wife, I hope that I and my lady will love and love, indulge in drinking and having fun, and live up to this life, 'youth is a good companion to return to his hometown' is Gu Qing's self-statement, because of the imprisonment, he may have been disappointed in Chang'an, and has the heart to return to his hometown...... is talented, people can talk about the grievances they have suffered so tactfully in prison, how can a talented person let him be wronged? ”
Looking at Li Guangbi, who was looking at his nose and nose, Li Longji said in a deep voice: "How many days has Gu Qing been in prison? ”
"It's been three days since I returned to Your Majesty."
Li Longji thought for a while and said, "The young man is arrogant and indulgent, and the light punishment is enough, let him out." ”
Li Guangbi was secretly shocked, and couldn't help but admire Gu Qing's judgment, he said that he could get out of trouble in three days, and he really got out of trouble today.
"Minister, Gu Qing, thank Your Majesty Longen."
The monarch drank wine for a while, and Li Guangbi retired with interest.
After Li Guangbi left, Li Longji closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "General Gao." ”
"The old slave is here."
"Spread my will, Lu Chengping, the head of the Zuowei family's house, was arrogant and rebellious, provoked without a case, and took it to the Zuowei prison for three days, and issued an order to apply for the palace to serve Shi Lu Xuan, and reprimanded his godson for having no way, and Lu Chengping was ordered to think about it behind closed doors for a month after he was released from prison."
Gao Lishi respectfully accepted the order, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Yang Guifei was overjoyed, and took Li Longji's arm and said to the Son of Heaven Shengming.
Li Longji didn't explain, smiling and enjoying the taste of gentle township.
This will actually has nothing to do with Gu Qing, strictly speaking, it doesn't even have much to do with Lu Chengping himself, Li Longji's real intention is Lu Xuan, and Li Linfu behind Lu Xuan.
This has something to do with the recent wind direction in the court.
Li Longji knew that Li Linfu and the crown prince Li Heng were incompatible, in fact, he was also happy to see the prime minister and the East Palace discord, a few years ago, Li Linfu's Wei Jian case against the princelings, Du Youlin's case, and so on, were actually done with Li Longji's acquiescence, in order to cut off the princelings' henchmen and not to make their wings full.
However, in recent years, the crown prince has been in decline under the repeated blows of Li Linfu and his henchmen, and seeing that the prince's expression has become more and more cowering and cowardly, and under the advantages of one another, Li Linfu's power has drifted a little recently.
The imbalance between the left and right forces of the court is not a good sign for the emperor, and it must be stopped and corrected in time.
Imperial art is the art of balance, and the word "balance" is very important.
And Lu Xuan, as Li Linfu's number one thug, it is necessary to take advantage of this matter to beat it well, and it can be regarded as an indirect warning to Li Linfu, if Li Linfu is not old and confused, he should know what to do.
