Chapter 3: Prime Ministers and Generals
On Xuanwu Street, the core area of Chang'an City, there is a mansion covering a wide area, the plaque reads "Wenkang Hou Mansion" four big characters, the owner of this mansion is the current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty Xiao Wangzhi, Xiao Wangzhi is the elder of the four dynasties, and is also two generations of emperors, and is also famous in the literary world, which can be called peach and plum all over the world.
Because the old prime minister likes to read, so everyone will dismount when passing by the door of the mansion, lightly, do not dare to disturb the old prime minister, in the middle of the night today, a noisy sound of horses' hooves woke up the porter of the Hou Mansion, the porter scolded and shouted a group of guards, ready to teach this pedestrian who does not know the height of the earth a lesson.
As soon as the porter opened the door, he saw Wei Wuji's black face, and the scolding words in the porter's mouth were swallowed at once, and the porter sorted out his facial expression, and said flatteringly: "Andehou, why are you here so late?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, take Ben Hou to see your master, Ben Hou has a very urgent matter to discuss with your master." After speaking, Wei Wuji strode in.
The porter didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to inform the housekeeper, the housekeeper settled Wei Wuji in the study, and went to find his master, Xiao Wangzhi just lay down not long ago, when he heard the housekeeper's report, he was shocked, and he didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he went to the study.
When Xiao Wangzhi came to the study, he asked impatiently: "Wuji, don't talk about it, is there something in the palace?" ”
Wei Wuji respected Xiao Wangzhi very much, the first emperor did not like His Majesty very much when he was in power, and wanted to replace the crown prince several times, thanks to Xiao Wang's persuasion, he kept Li Jun's position as the crown prince.
Wei Wuji saluted Xiao Wangzhi and said, "Boss, just now the Queen Mother sent me a message, saying that Your Majesty has woken up and recovered greatly, so I can't wait to come over and tell the boss." ”
When Xiao Wangzhi heard the news, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Wei Wuji immediately helped Xiao Wangzhi, Xiao Wangzhi said with tears: "Emperor bless, Your Majesty has finally woken up, come here, change clothes, and the old man will enter the palace." ”
Soon the mansion began to act, Xiao Wangzhi looked at Wei Wuji, who was at a loss on the side, and said with hatred: "Wuji, why are you so confused, when you get the news of Your Majesty's awakening, why don't you enter the palace as soon as possible, what's the matter with running to the old man?" Just find a cronie to inform the old man, and you should be by His Majesty's side at this time. ”
Wei Wuji was blushed by Xiao Wangzhi's words, and wanted to refute it, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth, so he had to apologize, Xiao Wangzhi became old and refined, and naturally saw that Wei Wuji was not really convinced, and sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that after this matter was over, he had to find a way to let Wei Wuji go to the border, Wei Wuji was a qualified general, but he was not a suitable politician.
The two came to the palace together, because the palace is now guarded by Wei Wuji's people, Wei Wuji wanted to enter it directly, but was stopped by Xiao Wangzhi, Xiao Wangzhi has been cautious all his life, and naturally understands that the emperor's majesty cannot be taken lightly, and at Xiao Wangzhi's insistence, Wei Wuji had to accompany Xiao Wangzhi to the palace and handed a sign to ask for a meeting.
Soon He Shen walked out, and He Shen saluted the two of them and said: "Lord Xiao, General Wei, although Your Majesty is no longer in serious health, but the Imperial Doctor told you to rest more, Your Majesty has just fallen asleep, if there is nothing important, then enter the palace tomorrow." ”
"What Da Changqiu said is extremely true, Your Majesty's body is the most important, since Da Changqiu has come forward, then Your Majesty's body will naturally be fine, so the two of us will be relieved, please Da Changqiu return to Your Majesty, and the two of us will enter the palace tomorrow morning to ask Your Majesty." When Xiao Wangzhi heard this, he was not displeased at all, and replied with a smile.
"Then the slave and maid will send off the two adults." Da Changqiu also smiled and saluted back.
Xiao Wangzhi and Wei Wuji said goodbye to Da Changqiu, Wei Wuji said to Xiao Wangzhi with a smile: "Boss, it seems that Your Majesty's illness is really cured, so you can rest assured, now there are still three hours before dawn, it is better to let the lower officials escort the old man back to the house to rest." ”
Xiao Wangzhi shook his head and said, "You and I don't want to go anywhere tonight, you go to the night duty, and the old man will go back to his carriage to rest for a while." ”
Why is that? Boss, you won't be wrong if you come back tomorrow morning. Wei Wuji asked puzzled.
Xiao Wangzhi sighed and said, "Wuji, has the old man hurt you for so many years?" ”
"The boss is deeply grateful to Mowgli, and Mowgli remembers it in his heart." When Wei Wuji heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said.
"Then you will listen to the old man this time, although Your Majesty is young, he is the disciple of the old man, and he is your own nephew, but there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, from the day His Majesty ascended the throne, you and I can't treat him as a child, do you understand?" Xiao Wangzhi looked at Wei Wuji and said earnestly.
After listening to this, Wei Wuji hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the boss, Wuji understands." After speaking, he took his leave and went to Xuanwumen.
In the palace, Empress Dowager Wei learned that her brother did not enter the palace at the first time, but ran to inform Xiao Wangzhi, and scolded angrily: "This elm head, why is it not enlightened?" ”
Empress Dowager Wei's confidant palace maid handed Empress Dowager Wei a bowl of medicinal food and comforted: "Niangniang, the uncle's temper has always been like this, and the slave and maid often scolded the uncle for being reckless when he remembered that the master was alive. ”
Speaking of Old Man Wei, Empress Dowager Wei's eyes couldn't help but be a little red, Empress Dowager Wei held the palace maid's hand and said, "Qiu Ya, how good do you think my father and his old man are still alive?" With his old man, the palace doesn't have to be angry everywhere in the palace, when Zhao Yuyan's fox son framed the palace, the palace was almost beaten to death by the first emperor......"
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Wei hugged Qiu Ya and couldn't help crying, Qiu Ya didn't dare to move at this time, so she could only let Empress Dowager Wei vent her emotions before she dared to get up.
Empress Dowager Wei cried for a while before she came back, Empress Dowager Wei wiped her eyes and asked, "Qiu Ya, has there been any movement of Zhao Yuyan's fox recently?" ”
Qiu Ya hurriedly walked out, and soon came back, handed a note to Empress Dowager Wei and said, "Niangniang, please look, this is news from Zhao Yuyan's palace." ”
Empress Dowager Wei took it and took a look, her face suddenly turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Zhao Yuyan, a slut with a thief heart, actually hooked up with the King of Chu, she is the sister-in-law of the King of Chu, what can the King of Chu give her when he succeeds to the throne, will he give her a queen?" ”
"The slave maid was incompetent, and she couldn't watch Zhao Yuyan's people, so that Zhao Yuyan's people and the king of Chu connected their heads." When Qiu Ya heard this, she immediately pleaded guilty.
Empress Dowager Wei waved her hand and said: "It's not your fault, Zhao Yuyan has been spoiling the harem for three years, naturally there will be some cronies, you go to inform An Dehou immediately, and let him send the Imperial Forest Army to seal Zhao Yuyan's dormitory, without the permission of the palace, no one can enter or exit." ”
"No, slave and maid obey." Qiu Ya saluted and left in a hurry......
