Chapter 12: Don't push me
Zhongshu Province. Since the change of Xuanwu Gate, this Zhongshu Province has become the center of the world, almost all the tables, performances, and sparse all need to go through the Zhongshu Province first, and then the Zhongshu Decree and the left and right auxiliary officials make decisions, and even bear the responsibility of drafting the edict. Therefore, in people's minds, Zhongshu Ling Fang Xuanling became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and his power was monstrous.
When Fang Xuanling arrived in Zhongshu Province every day, he would not rush to the Senate Secrets, but first inspected Zhongshu Province, and then summoned the adjutants to discuss matters without hurry.
He is good at strategy, so the affairs of the world, when it comes to his hands, are almost all in order.
Early this morning, he had just sat down, someone had already served the boiled teacup, Fang Xuanling closed his eyes slightly, and took a sip of tea without being salty or light, but at this time, someone came: "Fang Gong, Fang Gong, this performance, Fang Gong wants to see it."
Fang Xuanling raised his head, and saw that it was Du Ruhui, the right servant of Zhongshu Province, Du Ruhui and himself assisted the emperor and the government, and they have always had a tacit understanding, he glanced at Du Ruhui with a smile: "Does Du Gong also have something difficult to solve?"
People outside are rumoring that Fang Xuanling is good at scheming and Du Ruhui is arbitrary, of course this is not groundless, this is because Du Ruhui is indeed very decisive, and now Fang Xuanling is making fun of it, Du Ruhui smiled without hurrying or annoyance: "You will know when you see it."
Fang Xuanling took the note, opened it, and looked at it...... His face sank slightly.
Chen Jiye ...... Does Du Gong have an impression of this person?"
"Mengjin Chen family." Du Ruyan brushed his beard, with an ambiguous appearance.
Fang Xuanling bowed his head: "This person from the Chen family ...... It's really ......."
Fang Xuanling immediately shook his head: "It's really the same."
Du Ruhui couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Fang Gong can't say that, I think at the beginning, the ancestors of the Chen family also had many fascinating characters."
The implication of this is that it seems that the children and grandchildren are not very competitive.
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but wonder: "What do you think of this performance?"
"This personal grievance, it is better to report it to the palace, and the holy judge." Fang Xuanling felt reasonable, because this piece of music was really a little sensitive, and when Chen Jiye was newly appointed as a salt and iron envoy, he began to cry and cry, pouring bitter water.
The crux of the problem is that he cried that someone had encroached on the salt well and refused to pay the salt tax, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were not easy to manage, because after all, this was a big problem, even if they wanted to take care of it, the princes who encroached on the salt well would not give up.
But if you ignore it, you won't be able to.
Chen Jiye's identity is too sensitive, he is an old man in the East Palace, His Majesty reinstated him as a salt and iron envoy, perhaps he wants to set an example and tell the world, you see, even people like Chen Jiye are not to blame in the past, and they also give him official kindness, which shows that my mind is broader than the ocean.
Therefore, Chen Jiye cannot be harshly criticized.
Of course, what puzzled Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui the most was that it was rumored that His Majesty seemed to have accepted a Chen family as a disciple.
It's incomprehensible.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
That's fine.
Don't want any of that.
Since the matter of Yanzheng can't be handled by Zhongshu Province, let the emperor adjudicate.
Fang Xuanling coughed, called a Chinese scholar to come, handed over the song to the housekeeper, explained it, and the housekeeper withdrew.
As a result, Fang Xuanling no longer took the performance to heart and continued to manage the government.
When it was evening, Fang Xuanling, who looked tired, was ready to go off duty, he got up, and there were people waiting in the middle school to wait aside, Fang Xuanling suddenly remembered what happened early in the morning, and asked: "Your Majesty has a ruling on the music sent this morning?"
Zhongshushe said: "Your Majesty smiled when he saw it, and then ignored it."
"Oh." Fang Xuanling probably understood what the emperor meant, this matter ...... The emperor didn't want to care.
But what Fang Xuanling didn't know was that what happened next became his nightmare.
The emperor didn't want to care, but Chen Jiye seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and seemed to feel that he had suffered a huge conspiracy. A handful of snot and a handful of old tears said that he was unworthy of his responsibilities and wanted to return to his hometown, with a miserable tone.
Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded, he was completely convinced, is this kraft candy?
Three days later, Fang Xuanling had to take the song to the Xuande Hall for an audience.
Li Shimin was in front of the case at this time, holding a letter in his hand, he looked at the letter, frowned, muttered silently, for a long time, threw the letter aside, and in a trance, muttered in his mouth: "It's really a mistake to drink and make a mistake......
Fang Xuanling's eyes were full of doubts.
Looking at the letter that Li Shimin threw away, the letter fell to the ground, and he vaguely saw the words "whether the teacher eats or not".
The meaning of these four words is very simple: Teacher, have you eaten?
Fang Xuanling retracted his gaze, and suddenly thought of some rumors in the palace, these rumors were spread by the eunuchs, saying that since His Majesty accepted a disciple surnamed Chen as an apprentice, this person who claimed to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, brought letters into the palace through various methods every once in a while, and the content of the letters was a greeting like a wheel, which was nothing more than asking Cheng Tian, Master, have you eaten? Have you eaten? Have you eaten?
Fang Xuanling really couldn't understand why His Majesty wanted to accept apprentices, and he couldn't understand why His Majesty's disciples knew how to eat all day long.
Of course, what is even more incomprehensible is what His Majesty is in at the moment.
In the corner of Li Shimin's eyes, he only glanced at the letter that had landed, and he looked angry.
He was angry.
That Chen Zhengtai, in the end, is endless, at first it was a letter of greetings from the eunuch who read the will, and later from his father's recital, with a letter, this cheek, I am afraid it is eight feet thick. Oh, by the way, and let Ma Zhou talk.
This kid should really chop him up.
There was a little murderous thought in his heart, but in an instant, there was a little warmth in his heart, of course, it was indeed a mistake to drink, that kid hit the snake with the stick, but what is wrong with others, he says every day that he is my disciple, and greets himself every day with food, although this behavior makes me resistant, but I have to say...... Sometimes when I think about it, it seems to be a little warm.
Ay......
Li Shimin shook his head, raised his head, and saw Fang Xuanling coming, and reluctantly showed joy: "I was going to Xuanqing's house, but I didn't expect Qingqing to come."
Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted: "The minister is here for Chen Jiye's performance."
"He's playing again." Li Shimin's face was pulled down, and he ...... in this life He's never been so bored with a person, huh...... Be calm, I am the Son of Heaven, the Ninety-Five, I must have the world in mind, don't be angry with the surname Chen, if I am angry, then I will lose.
Li Shimin showed a calm look: "Really? Show me. ”
The eunuch sent the song to Li Shimin, Li Shimin opened it, and his eyes deliberately swept it, but he swept it quickly, in fact, Li Shimin didn't want to read the content at all, because even if he didn't read it, he knew that Chen Jiye's benevolent brother was starting to pour bitter water again.
Li Shimin subconsciously rubbed his forehead.
Fang Cai still had a little warmth for Chen Zhengtai, and in an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
This father and son are really talented.
So he subconsciously said, "It's ridiculous."
He closed his eyes, and then said: "Summoning the province to serve Ma Zhou on duty."
Ma Zhou and the Chen family have a close relationship, and Li Shimin needs to ask Ma Zhou's opinion on this matter.
Fang Xuanling's face was expressionless, but he muttered in his heart, His Majesty is extremely optimistic about this Ma Zhou, and he has been summoned again and again, and the saint is extraordinary.
After a while, Ma Zhou came, he was wearing a new robe and skirt, and stepped forward: "Minister......"
Li Shimin frowned.
This is the small hall of the Xuande Palace, and when the monarch and the ministers play the right role, they will not open too much distance.
Therefore, when Ma Zhou came to him, Li Shimin felt a strange smell coming to his face.
Ma Zhou was beside Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling also noticed such a strange smell, subconsciously, his feet moved slightly, as if he was a black and white impermanence without feet, and slowly moved away from Ma Zhou.
Li Shimin couldn't help but joke dryly: "Ma Qing's family has a unique body odor, what's the matter, could it be that Ma Qing's family is going to raise pigs again?"
Ma Zhou said in surprise: "Your Majesty's clever calculation, the minister admires it."
Li Shimin's joking look suddenly stiffened with a smile.
Dare to love this Ma Zhou, as a duty servant, did he really go to raise pigs?
It's no wonder that these days, although Ma Zhou is wearing new clothes, he always feels out of place with people, and there is a peculiar smell on his body.
Li Shimin's face was uncertain.
And Fang Xuanling unconsciously moved his body a little farther, Fang Xuanling is a person with a habit of cleanliness, and he now feels uncomfortable.
