Chapter 8: The Master (II)
"Is there anything bothering the teacher?"
Rukawa Kaede had seen this detail for a long time, but he hadn't asked until now.
"Who can be free from troubles? Unless it's a saint. ”
"It?" Rukawa Kaede was stunned, thinking that the teacher had made a slip of the tongue, but when he thought about it carefully, the teacher had a lot of words, and he would never make a mistake.
"Yes, the saint has no desires and no desires, he is at ease, even if the earth explodes, he will not frown, he is already out of the category of people."
"The earth exploded? What is that? Rukawa Kaede asked curiously.
"Oh, it's a big balloon." Knowing that he had made a mistake, the master didn't explain too much, anyway, even if he explained, others wouldn't believe that he was a traverser.
"Wouldn't it be better to use 'he', after all, he is an otherworldly saint!" Rukawa Kaede really didn't pursue the ball, and he was used to the teacher's always a little shocking.
"Whatever, it's just an ethereal existence, a title, you can call it whatever you like, if it's a true saint, they don't care." The Master shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently.
"Okay, the saint is too far away from me, let's go back to reality and talk about today's problems, internal and external troubles, where should I start, where to use great strength, and where do I have to be cautious and gentle?"
"Good question." The Master exclaimed, and then said, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside!" ”
"It's a good 'outside must be settled inside', yes, this will be my strategy."
"Since you already know that you have to deal with the government and government issues according to the situation, know that the problems should be treated differently if they are severe, dangerous, difficult, etc., and know how to prioritize them, this shows that you are already a mature politician, and with a certain city government strategy, I am a lot more relieved."
"Hehe, it's all the teachers who teach well." Rukawa Kaede gave a slap in the face at the right time, he knew that although the fart was not good-looking or good-looking, it was very good.
"As far as you kid can speak, you have to slow down those things that have a deep background, intricate rhizomes, and involve His Majesty the Emperor or those absolute big people, don't start cutting off other people's roots as soon as you take office, you don't have that ability yet, and you will be eaten by them to the bone! Your father's political idiot can't keep you, and that uncle is also a fool, and he won't do you any good. The Master admonished sternly.
"Yes, but if something is really bad, I can't ignore it."
"Then it's up to you."
"I'll act at my discretion, after all, my character teacher, you know, I'm not the kind of person who tolerates!" Rukawa Kaede is sharp.
"Have you ever heard the story of 'the dragon swimming in shallow water and being played by shrimp, and the tiger falling in Pingyang being bullied by dogs', your character? Someone else has no character? Those powerful and oppositional characters can send you into the eighteenth layer of hell with a casual word! If you don't have the strength, you go and fight directly with those powerful enemies, that is, the old birthday star eats arsenic shuang - it is a long life! ”
"Okay, the teacher is right, I met those people I can't afford to offend at the moment, and I choose to back down."
"Well, just remember, the court is the center of politics, not the northern border where you call all day long, there are so many means here, you are at best a beginner apprentice, and those old foxes can see you through with one look! Therefore, I tell you to find out the situation in a low-key manner first, and don't be too ostentatious, thinking that others flatter you and take it seriously. ”
The Master then went on to say, "What I want to warn you is 'Don't believe nice words; If it is ugly, you have to analyze it with your heart, it is often your real flaw', those who greet you with a smile may not be good people, those who treat each other seriously may be loyal ministers, they are your helpers, you have to find a chance to find a helper. ”
"The teacher teaches the students, and the students must remember it." Rukawa Kaede stood up, saluted seriously, and bowed.
"Okay, it's not early, you go back and rest for a while, and in more than an hour it will be morning time, at that time, it will be your new starting point, and a new journey is about to begin."
"I remember that the teacher said, 'A gentleman behaves with trepidation, trembling, walking on thin ice', for himself and the teacher, for the future of the empire, for the dawn of life, the student does not dare to act rashly, and will not let the teacher down, and the student will retire."
"You must control your temper, this is not the northern realm where you say you will kill!"
Facing the empty room, the master whispered to persuade, watching this excellent student disappear into the night, he was full of emotion in his heart, but he has never directly participated in the government affairs, has not served as an official and a half in the court, he doesn't want to, he just wants to be a relaxed idler, but unfortunately, this is just a dream for him, a dream out of reach, because someone found him and asked him to do a big thing with them, the kind that must be done.
——
May 15, early in the morning.
Temple of Light.
Liuchuan Feng officially went to the court for the first time, he was wearing a battle robe and silver armor, a military uniform, standing in the main hall, with a serious and solemn expression.
"Zhuqing, good morning."
Liuchuan Xinghe sat on the dragon chair and greeted the civil and military officials in the hall with a smile.
"Long live my emperor, long live!" The ministers bowed in return.
"Ah Feng's nephew, what are you doing standing so far away? Come closer, and let me take a good look at how you've changed in the past three years. ”
"Yes."
"Yes, yes, you really have to be carved out of the same mold as your father, but your bearing is better than when he was young, but his skin is a little darker, and there are shallow scars on his face, it seems that you have suffered a lot."
"For Your Majesty's worries and guarding the empire, these are all unrelenting, not very hard, but the north is far away, and I miss the emperor's uncle a lot."
"Haha, now you can come to see me every day, why are you still wearing a military uniform, don't fight this morning, don't do that, besides, this iron tower is not light, it's weird to wear it."
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has no other court clothes, but he can't wear plain clothes to the court, so he has to wear this first, and there is no other meaning." Rukawa Kaede replied meaningfully.
Taishi Jiang Tang came out at the right time and said: "Your Majesty, the prince of Feng Wang is not young now, he has military merits, and he has a heart for the country and the people, I think it is better to let him be an official in the court, first, he can also train him, and secondly, he can continue to share worries and solve problems for His Majesty and the empire." ”
"Well, that's right, Ah Feng, what do you think?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has this intention, but my nephew is used to staying at the border, and those crepe people may not be able to do it, I want to be able to be by Your Majesty's side and be a guard."
Liuchuan Xinghe thought about it for a while and said: "It's okay, there is just a lack of a position on the Jinyi Guard's side, and the position of commanding the same knowledge, if you have no opinion, you can report today." ”
"Your Majesty, no."
Before Rukawa Kaede could reply, He Fang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward and raised opposing opinions.
"Oh? Why? Liuchuan Xinghe looked at him with questions.
"With the merits and identity of General Zhenbei, it stands to reason that he is qualified to serve as the official position of the commander of the three products, but the situation of Jinyiwei is complicated, and it is not a general who can only fight and lead troops to do it." He Fang lowered his head and held the wat board with both hands.
At this time, another minister stood up, his attitude was much more arrogant than He Fang, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that General Zhenbei is not suitable to go to Jinyiwei, and moreover, I want to join him!" ”
Liuchuan Xinghe was a little dissatisfied, and asked lightly: "Taibao, what do you have to say?" ”
"Although General Zhenbei won a battle in the north, as far as I know, he connived at his soldiers to act recklessly, and even beheaded the city lord in Goose City! He didn't have the will of the court, and he dared to kill the court officials privately, what kind of behavior was this? If he is allowed to be a brocade guard, where will the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government still have the day, if they accidentally offend him one day, they will probably die the next day, and they don't know how they died! ”
Taibao Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Liuchuan Feng coldly, his words were fierce, and even very targeted, his words made the huge hall quiet, and most of the ministers began to echo and oppose this appointment.
"Quiet, what are you arguing about? Annoying! This matter has already had a result, is the Taibao being confused and forgetting the truth of that matter? Liuchuan Xinghe was angry and scolded loudly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is afraid, but Jinyiwei has too much power, and General Zhenbei has the identity of Wang Shizi, so his character of killing will probably cause fear among the ministers."
Hu Yanzhuo's hair turned white, but he was in good spirits, although he was reprimanded by the emperor, he still insisted on his opinion.
Liu Jing, the secretary of the military department, stood up and broke the embarrassing atmosphere, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, that matter is indeed the fault of the Goose City Lord, he not only intercepted and killed the guards who escorted Princess Eve, but also wanted to commit violence against her!" If he does this, it will most likely bring war to our empire! And at the moment, we really can't support a large-scale war anymore, so I think that General Zhenbei did nothing wrong, if he waits until he returns to Beijing to get the will to kill him, then I am afraid that it will not be able to eliminate the anger of the emperor of the neighboring country, besides, there is no more such official, and it is better to have one less. ”
Taishi Jiang Tang stood up and said with a smile to his companions who had been officials in the same dynasty for more than ten years: "Brother Huyan, you keep saying that the ministers are afraid, if they are not upright, how can they be afraid?" Even if the Jinyi Guards have great power, they have to listen to His Majesty, do they dare to go to the ministers for trouble for no reason? What's more, the son of the world is pure-hearted, upright and upright, he will definitely do things strictly according to the facts, wouldn't he be much better than those impure-hearted careerists when he takes office? ”
"Well, then it's up to him later." Hu Yanzhuo flicked his sleeves and returned to his place to stand.
"Then it's decided, Ah Feng, you will go directly to Jinyiwei later, first familiarize yourself with your position with the commander, don't be in a hurry to go out to do errands these days, come to the palace more often when you have time, and the queen mother is always talking about you."
"Yes, but there's one more thing about the nephew."
"What?"
"The placement of the eight hundred guards brought by the minister, they are all old subordinates who have followed me for three years, and they are also very loyal and capable people, I want them to follow me into the Jinyi Guard."
"yes, that's right."
But at this time, a not so harmonious voice came, and everyone saw that it was Li Dongsheng, the secretary of the ministry.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this matter is up for discussion."
"Oh?"
Liuchuan Xinghe has long been annoyed by these guys, and he has to come out to interfere with everything, but he has to listen to their advice, after all, they are all important ministers of the court, they have great rights, and they are the support of the court.
Li Dongsheng said: "Weichen suggested that the eight hundred guards of His Royal Highness the Prince be disrupted and placed on the Jinyi Guard and other important institutions, so as to prevent them from forming their own faction, acting without authorization, and causing disagreements and contradictions with other departments. ”
This statement was immediately approved by many ministers, and Rukawa Kaede saw that what the other party said was reasonable, and although he was dissatisfied, he still stood up and gave the emperor's uncle a step.
"Your Majesty, what Master Li said also makes sense, although my subordinates are unwilling to leave me, but for the sake of stability, they have no choice but to do so, but my last request, please fulfill Your Majesty."
"You say." The rivers and rivers are exhausted.
"I only need four people, they are my original commanders, old partners, with their cooperation, my future work will be smoother and more accurate."
"That's right."
After a while, Liuchuan Xinghe said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing else, if not, I will retreat." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play, and Weichen found that there was a ...... behind a tragedy that happened in the capital a few days ago."
Liu Jing, the secretary of the military department, was interrupted before he finished speaking, but he didn't dare to have any opinions.
Liuchuan Xinghe yawned, waved his hand and said, "Since there is nothing to do, then retreat to the court, I am a little tired." ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
Liu Jing shouted, but still did not let the emperor's footsteps stop, and soon he walked out of the main hall......
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, the serious minister looked at the sky speechlessly, only to see that the sun was still blocked by the thick dark clouds, and he had no intention of coming out, even if he stood in the empty square, he felt very depressed.
Rukawa Kaede passed by him, smiled, said hello briefly, and walked straight out of the square, he was going to report to Jinyiwei and familiarize himself with the business process as soon as possible.
