Chapter 494: Ministers
One waiter waited for Li Zhongyi to turn over the saddle and get on the horse, and the other waiter waited for Li Zhongyi to sit down, and then took the purple reins of the horse and walked slowly.
Today is the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting, so the little chamberlain led the horse and walked all the way to the door of a side hall along the Xianggong Road on the east side of the Daqing Palace.
Li Zhongyi was a little distracted just now, and after getting off the horse and climbing the steps, he noticed that what was in front of him was a special resting place for the ministers when they went to court.
The attendant in front of the door saw Li Zhongyi walking to the door, hurriedly coughed lightly, and sang in a low voice: "Li Xianggong is here." ”
In the political affairs hall, in addition to Li Zhongyi, there is also Li Yun surnamed Li, and the chamberlains privately call them the big Li Xianggong and the little Li Xianggong.
The question is, at such a formal court meeting, who dares to call Li Zhongyi and Li Xianggong? Don't want to die?
In view of the calamity of eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty, changing the emperor was as cheap as eating dumplings, and the rules in the Great Zhou Shen Palace were extremely strict, and the future of the inner servants was all in the hands of the ministers of the outer court.
No matter what era it is, the one who is in charge of the black gauze hat on his head is definitely the uncle!
The political affairs hall of the Great Zhou Dynasty has an unusually heavy power, and the appointment and dismissal of officials below the sixth rank in the court and the central government can be discussed and decided by themselves, and the next hall will be counted and there is no need to report to the emperor to know.
Li Zhongyi is the lowest in the political hall, although the success is insufficient, it is annoying, and it is easy to think about anyone's promotion.
The best way for them to show their authority is to find ways to promote their protégés and strengthen their own momentum.
The truth is obvious, there is no one who is a prince. In order to promote you, I will tear my face with my colleagues who meet and hold meetings every day.
Li Zhongyi walked into the side hall. I saw Wei Renpu alone, sitting on the edge of the exclusive kang, drinking tea to warm up.
"Wei Xianggong, it's so early." Li Zhongyi instantly pondered several ways to greet him, and finally chose only the most insipid and detached greeting.
Wei Renpu raised his eyelids slightly, and said lightly: "It's not too late to be blameless." ”
Cough. This is the same worldly as the ordinary people of the imperial capital in later generations, and there is no shining point that reflects the authority of the prime minister.
"Alas, Uncle Wang. Have you eaten it? ”
"Hehe, his Aunt Li, I've eaten, I've eaten."
That's what it tastes like!
The Prime Minister's Honor. Etiquette. When Li Zhongyi and Wei Renpu met, they only had to bow their hands to each other, even if they were perfunctory.
The clever chamberlain hurriedly took a few steps forward and led Li Zhongyi to his exclusive kang couch.
In Kaifeng City in late autumn, the cold air in the north has been continuously moving south, and the temperature is getting colder and colder.
Li Zhongyi sat on the edge of the kang. A warm and warm breath, from the bottom to the top. Immediately warmed up all over the body, well, the kang burned very hot.
There is nothing to say about the prime minister's treatment, Li Zhongyi has just sat down here, and the palace attendant has already stood next to the kang with a tea tray.
Li Zhongyi picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was very good, it turned out to be the green tea he had always loved to drink, not the group tea that the group of ministers desperately admired.
"Well, the tea is good." Li Zhongyi praised the tea clearly, and secretly praised the chamberlain, how to say, since others have the heart to shoot you, even if you can't share the benefits, you have to give a good face, right?
The waiter twitched the corners of his mouth, held back a smile, bent down, and said respectfully: "The villain's affairs should be in charge." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded slightly, the grade of this chamberlain is very low, he occasionally praises it, it's okay, the huge suspense in the status is there.
chatted with an in-house attendant, and the news spread out, which really damaged Li Zhongyi's reputation.
Li Zhongyi took a few sips of hot tea, and then he made time to take a look at the situation in the room.
The area of the side hall is not too large, about 80 square meters, along the root of the window, build a circle of warm kang.
The furnishings on the kang are roughly similar, a piece of dwarf that is easy to see the folds and write a note Chen, which occupies the position in the middle of the kang.
On the low table, there are four treasures of the study, as well as snow-white hemp manuscript paper.
Li Zhongyi looked at it intently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, this white hemp paper was made by his family's paper mill.
According to the previous meaning of the palace, it was to collect the Li family's paper mill as a palace-owned asset. It's just that after Li Zhongyi led his troops to conquer Goryeo, there was no follow-up.
Despite this, the white linen paper produced by the Li family paper mill was designated as government paper, which was used exclusively in the government hall and was not allowed to be sold privately.
Due to the process of white linen paper, great improvements have been made. The output has also been greatly improved, and the jute paper that was previously used to fill the amount is allowed to be operated by the Li family paper mill itself.
You must know that in the past, white and jute paper, because of the extremely high cost and scarce production, belonged to the monopoly and forbidden treasures.
Li Zhongyi is at the end of the eight phases, and his kang couch is arranged in the most southernmost embarrassing position.
As long as someone enters the door, they will meet him as soon as possible, do you say embarrassing or not?
Li Zhongyi held the mentality of being at ease with what happened, took off his official boots, and calmly picked up the pen and practiced calligraphy on white linen paper.
Leading troops to kill the enemy, Li Zhongyi is indeed a good hand, and he is not bad at being an official.
However, Li Zhongyi's calligraphy has never made much progress. The stroke he wrote, the strokes are clear, the words are big and upright, and they are very mediocre, and only shameless people dare to praise them as good words.
With the gradual arrival of the ministers, the side hall gradually became lively.
Li Zhongyi kept his head down to practice calligraphy, and although the new Xianggong saw him, he was embarrassed to say hello. In this way, a lot of trouble between each other is avoided, and it is clean.
After the ministers sat down, they drank tea and watched the music, everyone did not have the meaning of greetings, although there were many people in the room, it was not noisy.
The people sitting here are all ministers of the extremely popular court, all of them are ministers of the imperial court with status, but they are not small merchants and vendors who bargain with the citizens at the gate of the vegetable garden.
There was no even the sound of drinking tea in the hall, let alone speaking loudly.
As Li Zhongyi expected, Prime Minister Fan Zhen was the last to appear, and the waiters waiting in front of the door sang unusually. "Fan Xianggong has arrived." The sound was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it very clearly.
Li Zhongyi neither wanted to grandstand nor give the impression of flattering the prime minister, so he waited until the second minister, Li Gu, took the lead. Standing on the ground, he gently put down the wolf in his hand and got up with the crowd.
"Fan Xianggong......" Li Gu arched his hand and said hello simply, Li Zhongyi mixed in the group and vaguely followed the salute.
"Hehe, the old man is old. I didn't have enough energy, and I overslept for a while, so I ask for your forgiveness. Fan smiled and returned the salute. The reason for being late made Li Zhongyi feel that the extravagance was attacking.
Fan quality seems to be homely, in fact. The reserve and pride revealed in the bones. The momentum is compelling, enough to crush the group.
What is the power of the prime minister? Look at Fan Qian's "easy-going" appearance, and you will know!
After the greetings, the ministers sat down again, and Li Zhongyi followed the example of Li Gu and others, landed on the ground with both feet, and sat firmly on the edge of the kang.
At this time, the distance is officially on the court. There are still a quarter of an hour to go. Fan Zhen, Li Gu, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, these four ministers. They took the folding boxes handed by the servants and began to review the backlog of folding at hand.
Before Fan Zhen came, Li Zhongyi had been immersed in practicing calligraphy, but he didn't pay attention to what the rest of the people were doing.
Now, Fan Zhen and the four ministers are in the office, but Li Yun, Wu Tingzuo and Li Zhongyi are sitting on the edge of the kang and watching with blank eyes.
Ahem, it's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening! The distance between Xiang Gong and Xiang Gong was instantly magnified to the extent that it was impossible to ignore.
Li Zhongyi's mentality is extremely peaceful, he can pick up a life, he is already content, and naturally he will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
As long as Chai Rong doesn't die, Li Zhongyi plans to keep pretending to be stupid and be an honest companion.
With such an obvious dismount, if Li Zhongyi can't see it, then the power circle of his two lives will really be in vain!
When newcomers enter the new circle, they will inevitably encounter some unexpected sandwiching, and they will be recognized by the circle only after they have run in.
In the first year of the recruits' first year in the army, many people had to be treated by the veterans with great sourness and suffering.
Hehe, who dares to disobey, the fist of the veteran, is it vegetarian?
Standing in Li Zhongyi's position, since Yulin's right guard was transferred far away, the only little military power at hand has become a distant water that can't satisfy his thirst, and he doesn't have any thoughts that he can't let go, just drag on time.
After a while, an attendant said through the curtain of the door, "The hour is almost up." ”
Fan Zhen took the lead in putting down the fold in his hand, stood up, tidied up his clothes slightly, and took the lead and walked outside.
Li Zhongyi took four square steps, and was the last to leave the side hall, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Yun in front of him, thinking to himself, the dismount is very successful, but the mustard in this benevolent brother's heart is probably already sprouting, right?
Just now, Li Yun couldn't sit still, and repeatedly looked up at Fan Zhen and the others, although he didn't shoot the case, Li Zhongyi saw it very clearly, the fist of this big Li Xianggong was clenched tightly.
Li Zhongyi does not know the history of the scriptures, nor does he have sperm collection, and in the eyes of Confucian scholars, he is not a high-class cultural person of the same kind.
However, Li Zhongyi just didn't understand Confucianism. In his last life, he was also a highly talented student who went through more than ten years of hard study, and finally took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the medical university with super high scores.
A general undergraduate is only four years, but Li Zhongyi's clinical medicine undergraduate studied for five years before he got a graduation certificate. Later, Li Zhongyi studied for another three years for a master's degree, looking at the world, a proper senior intellectual.
Compared with Li Zhongyi, a culturally diverse person, Li Yun is out-and-out illiterate, and he can't read a few big characters except for his name.
Qiu Ba, thief army, and tearing Han, these folk common names refer to vulgar martial artists like Li Yun. It's just that Li Yun's luck is very good, he has a heavy army and is in a high position.
In essence, Li Yun is actually not much different from an ordinary illiterate soldier.
Martial artists who don't read, don't read history, don't understand the changes in the court situation, and don't understand the way of power balance will suffer a big loss sooner or later!
