CHAPTER XVIII
The two-day court meeting on the first and fifteenth days of the new year is more often a ceremony, and Li Yuanjia even guessed that such a grand court meeting was specially set up so that those officials below the fifth rank could have the opportunity to enter the imperial city once, and then meet the great emperor.
The real deliberations of the bigwigs are still often in the day.
Until the release of the war - the removal of the guard of honor, that is, the retreat from the dynasty, Li Yuanjia except for knowing that the emperor was going to repair the Buddhist temples in the world to pray for the queen, the only feeling was that he had wasted an hour of his life......
At the end of the court meeting, the emperor left first with a gloomy face, and then the hundred officials also dispersed.
As the new member of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjia also stood up at this time, and kept greeting each other with the officials around him, and got to know each other briefly. Everyone didn't have much time before the last court, but at this time, the court meeting was over, and everyone naturally wanted to come up and say hello to King Han.
Of course, it's only a small group of people.
The others were either too small in their official positions and not qualified enough, or they were far away from Li Yuanjia and didn't notice the newcomer; And more of them don't care, they don't want to delay their time - left and right are just idle kings, and there is no need to rush so much to meet a little kid. For example, almost none of the military officials standing on the other side came over, and many of them didn't even look at it.
Li Yuanjia naturally didn't care about this, and after simply greeting the people around him, he planned to go back.
But there is a person who has been waiting for him deliberately.
"How did you feel on the first day of the court?"
While walking outside with Li Yuanjia, Fang Xuanling asked lightly.
"Hehe, it's okay."
Glancing at the future father-in-law beside him, Li Yuanjia also replied in a low voice as he walked.
Since he returned to Chang'an, he has hardly gone out, and Fang Xuanling will not visit his future son-in-law in person, even if the other party is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. So in addition to the fact that the two attended at the same time but did not meet when the emperor Li Yuan was buried, this was after Li Yuanjia returned to Chang'an...... No, it should be said that it is the first meeting since Li Yuanjiazhenguan came out of the cabinet for six years!
But it's amazing, Fang Xuanling's attitude is very indifferent, and Li Yuanjia doesn't have any special feelings.
Weng and his son-in-law seem to have known each other for a long time.
Even after walking out of the road for a while, Li Yuanjia naturally asked: "Fang Xianggong, do I, the Yongzhou pastor, have to come to the court every day?" Is it possible to attend only for two days and not usually come? ”
Without waiting to step out of the gate of Daxing Palace, Li Yuanjia couldn't wait to know the answer.
"Huh? Only two days? ”
After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Fang Xuanling's heart moved, and he immediately understood what he meant, but whether this little guy wanted to be lazy or wanted to avoid this power center, Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled for a while.
"Yes, only for two days."
Nodding, Li Yuanjia smiled and said: "You also know, I have no interest in being an official in the first place, and I have to delay at least half a day every day, so it is better to stay at home and concentrate on doing what I like...... By the way, I've been collecting a lot of medical books lately, and I don't think I have enough time! ”
"Medical books? The king wants to study medicine? ”
After hearing Li Yuanjia's words, Fang Xuanling was stunned.
However, he was slightly stunned, and he thought of the reason, and couldn't help but glance at Li Yuanjia: "The king is ...... Because of the affairs of the emperor and the imperial concubine, you want to study medicine? ”
“…… That's right. ”
Letting his expression show a slight sadness, Li Yuanjia nodded.
In any case, he would not be involved in the diagnosis and treatment of Empress Eldest Sun. Let's not talk about whether I am willing or not, just say that with the conditions of this era, the chance that Li Yuanjia can leave the queen's life will not exceed one percent! But not going to see a doctor for his eldest grandson does not mean that Li Yuanjia must try his best to hide that he understands medicine!
The most perfect way is to release the news in advance and lay the groundwork.
He didn't know if the people around him had reported to the emperor about his collection of medical books, but as one of the prime ministers of the dynasty and the most important person in the Tang Dynasty today, Fang Xuanling was undoubtedly the best "leak" object. Weng son-in-law
Merely......
"Ridiculous!"
After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Fang Xuanling couldn't hold back anymore, and said in a low voice: "King Chunxiao, Fang has long known this, but you are the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you are extremely noble, and you have all the doctors in the world to drive you, so why do you need to learn it yourself...... That thing? ”
When he said these words, Lao Fang was really a little anxious and angry.
Although he supported Li Yuanjia's investment in craftsmanship in front of his wife, it was limited to useful things such as tables and chairs, paper making and coal stoves, and of course it was best to use things like Quyuan plough that benefited the country and the people. But Li Yuanjia plans to devote his energy and time to Qi Huang Zhixue, Lao Fang is a little anxious, and at the same time, there is a kind of anger at the future son-in-law who does not seek progress - continue to think about something the same as Qu Yuanli, isn't it?!
"Learn that...... Stuff? ”
After listening to Fang Xuanling's words to describe medicine, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth couldn't help twitching, and his eyelids rolled directly!
Well, he knows that the level of medicine in these years is not good, especially there are fewer good doctors who have received a good education, so most of the time it is actually useless, otherwise the profession that can save people's lives can't be classified as "work", right?
But his profession is looked down upon like this, and Li Yuanjia is not comfortable in his heart.
However, Li Yuanjia didn't have the idea of fighting back, and even ignored Fang Xuanling's words, just continued to ask: "Xianggong, what I just said, is it possible?" ”
"This ......"
Although he hesitated in his heart, looking at Li Yuanjia's resolute look, Fang Xuanling could only shake his head helplessly and sighed: "King, according to the laws of our Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid it will be very difficult......"
Fang Xuanling roughly explained the rules of Zhenguan for ten years, and then Li Yuanjia knew that the price of being lazy and not going to court was not small. If it is light, he will be scolded and fined, and if it is serious, he may be dismissed from his post and imprisoned. Although in terms of his status as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that the most he will be fined or scolded by the emperor is a few words, but Li Yuanjia feels embarrassed when he thinks about that situation!
Speaking of the latter, Fang Xuanling concluded: "So if the king wants to go to court for only two days, the best way is to get the emperor's permission...... It's up to you. ”
“…… I see. ”
After pondering for a moment, Li Yuanjia nodded helplessly.
In that case, we can only look back for opportunities.
The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace where they were going to break up.
Li Yuanjia, the Yongzhou pastor, is nominal and does not have any actual work, so he can go home directly after going to the court; But Fang Xuanling is the prime minister of the court, and after the end, he has to go to the political hall to deal with government affairs, so he is naturally not as leisurely as Li Yuanjia.
“…… King! ”
Finally saluting each other, and when Li Yuanjia was about to leave, Fang Xuanling suddenly stopped him again. Fang Xianggong hesitated for a moment, and then said in a meaningful whisper: "When the period of filial piety of the king expires, it will be the time when my daughter marries into the Han Palace...... In the future, if the king has any doubts, he can come to the old man to discuss......"
