Chapter 180: Dickenson
Wenyi continued: "Qingque is even more amazing, he is designing a ship that can stop planes, and this ship can not only sail in the sea, but also fly high in the sky. If his design is successful, it can ensure that the Tang Dynasty will be extended for thousands of years! Chengdao said that he wanted to let the people of Datang have diseases and can be treated, and from now on stay away from the troubles of injuries and diseases! That's a great merit! Chengye is even more incredible, he said that the map used now is very inaccurate, and he wants to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers to draw a perfect map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty for His Majesty! ”
Li Shimin's mood at this time can no longer be described as happy, very happy! Extremely happy! Fun is crazy! I'm sure any father has that look on his son's face after hearing about his son's brilliant achievements!
The eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, and Lu Qiyuan presented fragrant sycophants at the right time to coax Li Shimin to be even happier, and the facts show that people prefer to hold banquets when they are happy, and share this joy with more people. Li Shimin waved his hand, and tonight the Liangyi Hall will invite important ministers and young talents from the court!
The four literary and artistic people were also left in the palace by Li Shimin to discuss the details of the expedition. Wenyi took advantage of Li Shimin's happiness to put forward another bold idea: "The minister has another important matter, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”
Li Shimin said happily: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, I am not gracious about your affairs!" ”
Literary and artistic joy: "The minister implores to resign from the post of prime minister and give it to Li Ke, the king of Han." As soon as the words fell, the four people sitting down were all extremely surprised.
Li Ke hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, don't do it!" How can student He De be in such a high position! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was also thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, and said solemnly: "Although the King of Han has the mantle of literature and talent, and his talent and ability are all leaders of the younger generation, the position of the prime minister is very important, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”
Li Shimin was of course happy to see that literature and art supported his son, but if the post of first prime minister was handed over to Li Ke, how should the ministers of the DPRK and China feel? Now none of his sons are directly involved in the government politics, if Li Ke becomes the prime minister, will people misunderstand that he will make Li Ke the crown prince? Will the current trend of stability between the DPRK and China make waves?
Li Shimin also said solemnly: "You are young and serving the country, how can you be lazy, I don't agree with this matter." ”
Wenyi sighed, a generation of Ming Jun is really not easy to fool, so he had to retreat and say: "The minister has felt that there are many affairs recently, and it is difficult to deal with them, so the minister begs His Majesty for permission to let the King of Han be the minister's assistant." ”
This is quite against his will, he has just been out for 2 months, and he said that he has a lot of affairs! Li Shimin knew that Wenyi was unwilling to be the prime minister from beginning to end, and he was forced to reluctantly accept it by himself at that time. When Wenyi put Li Ke in the position of vice president of the bank, he vaguely felt that Wenyi was cultivating his successor. It's just that I didn't expect to think about resigning in just one year. The official must not let him resign, so let his son do more.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, Ke'er is your student, and I can learn more knowledge by following you." I will help you as the Chinese scholar. ”
Although he has been the president of the bank for nearly a year, most of the affairs have to be discussed with Li Ke, and he has not yet figured out the magical operations in the bank, otherwise he would not have put forward the wrong suggestion of issuing additional banknotes. Quickly jumped out to stop him: "Your Majesty! Never! The old minister was deeply favored by His Majesty and was appointed as the president of the bank, but the affairs of the bank were complicated, and the ministers had more than enough heart but not enough strength, so everything had to be discussed with the king of Han. If Your Majesty transfers the King of Han, the central bank will be in chaos! Your Majesty, please think again. ”
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with a strange expression, and when he looked at Lu Qiyuan, who had a bitter melon face, he suddenly felt a little entangled in his heart. The bank is a new thing made by literature and art, and only those students who know how to operate are those who know how to operate, and their own courtiers are still a little worse in comparison. Transferring Li Ke away is indeed very harmful to the bank. When he was struggling, Wenyi interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister's recommendation of two people can solve President Lu's worries. ”
Li Shimin: "Who? ”
"Cui Shaoqing, the third son of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Lu Shaoyuan, the second son of President Lu. Both of them were proficient in arithmetic and were very interested in economics. The academic assessment is also excellent, and he can take on great responsibilities. ”
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I will make a final decision after I take the school examination at the dinner party." ”
Literature and art sighed secretly, and the mood was not beautiful if he resigned. Then the question of the expedition to South America was also dealt with casually. Until the time of Shen, the hundred officials and the younger generation of Junyan had already waited in the Liangyi Palace.
Li Shimin led the four of them to the Liangyi Palace, and everyone sat down after saluting Li Shimin. Li Shimin did not explain the true intention of this banquet, only said that he was in a good mood, and asked everyone to bring their juniors to be happy. So everyone sat casually, basically Lao Tzu and his sons sat together. It was impossible for Li Ke to sit at the same table with Li Shimin, so he could only find a table next to Lu Qiyuan.
Literature and art are also singles, and his position is next to the eldest grandson Wuji, and he is not very happy to sit in front of him. Anyway, this banquet was mainly for juniors and fun, so he found a table under Wei Zheng and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he was attracted by a cute little baby beside him, Li Shimin only said that he would bring his descendants when he gave the order, and there was no clear age limit, so the little doll also came a lot.
This little baby is about seven or eight years old, with black hair tied into "total horns", two stripes of baby fat on her pink little face, and thick eyebrows and big eyes shining like stars. He sat on a large futon like an adult, but his eyes peeked around happily.
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged official in his forties, wearing a purple official uniform, who should be a senior officer of the third rank or above. However, there are very few senior officials who do not know the Chinese of Chaoyi, and they should be officials from other provinces who have entered Beijing to do business. Seeing Wenyi looking at him, the man also bowed slightly to Wenyi. Xiaowa sat on his right, and on the left were two teenagers, sitting without a sitting appearance, and the word "bastard" was almost engraved on his face.
Li Shimin raised his glass and said: "Zhong Aiqing, the DPRK and China have been busy with official affairs recently, and you are very tired of doing your duty. I couldn't bear it, so I specially summoned you and others to the palace to drink and feast to soothe your mood. Haha, in the past, drinking was to dance and music, but today we don't listen to music or watch dance, but we want to learn martial arts and wine with the talents of young students. I don't know what the love of the people thinks? ”
The ministers couldn't help but jump in their hearts, what a godsend! To show off his talents in front of His Majesty, how much Junyan dreams of! All the ministers raised their glasses in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
After a drink, Li Shimin sat back on the dragon chair: "Open the table!" The officials thanked him again. The eldest grandson Wuji picked up the wine glass and got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to throw bricks and lead the jade to come up with a question first: "Liezi Tang Wen" has clouds and 'there are five 'mountains' overseas, which five mountains are they? ”
As soon as the words fell, Fang Yizhi took the lead in raising his hand, and the eldest grandson Wuji motioned for him to get up and answer. After bowing directly to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Yi said: "The original text of "Liezi Tangwen" is 'There are five mountains on the sea: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. Its mountain height revolves around 30,000 li, its top is 9,000 li, and the middle of the mountain is 70,000 li. Its appearance on the stage is all gold and jade, and the birds and beasts on it are pure. The knots of the pearl tree are clustered, the Huashi has a taste, and the food is immortal. The people who live are all immortal saints, and there are countless people who fly back and forth day and night. The roots of the five mountains are not connected, and they often go up and down with the tide. ....... In the end, the two mountains drifted away without a trace, leaving only the three mountains of Fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai. ’”
The eldest grandson Wuji said with satisfaction: "Yes, who knows where the three mountains of Fangju, Yingzhou, and Penglai are now?" ”
A young man who sat at the back raised his hand and replied: "The three mountains of Fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai are ancient immortal mountains, and the specific location is not clear, but according to the ancestors of the past dynasties, Penglai Island should refer to the Penglai countryside in Jiangnan Province; Yingzhou Island is the East Ying Islands; The square pot, also known as the abbot mountain, has not been traced to this day. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "The kid is good, who are you?" ”
The middle-aged man in a crimson official uniform beside the young man stood up and saluted: "Dog Di Zhixun, Xie Shangshu loves." ”
