Chapter Twenty-Five: Clever Tongue Like a Lotus
Pei Min waited for a long time at the gate of the Wude Hall this time.
As usual, when he went outside the temple, he was basically able to enter the temple.
Even if Li Longji had official business in his hands, he would let him enter the palace and wait, and even asked Gao Lishi to accompany him to play chess to pass the time.
Now he asked him to wait outside the hall, and sure enough, as Gao Lishi said, Li Longji was angry.
"This emperor, why is his heart so small!"
Pei Min complained from the bottom of his heart, but the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Li Longji was not just one level higher than him, so he could only wait honestly.
About a quarter of an hour, or fifteen minutes, passed.
Gao Lishi walked out, gave Pei Min a look, and said, "Your Majesty invites the Duke of Guo in." ”
When the two passed by, Gao Lishi's subtle voice came, and said: "Your Majesty's anger is almost gone, say something nice, don't say that you were called here." ”
Pei Min understood and whispered thank you again.
With a brisk pace, Pei Min walked into the main hall, and said loudly in a tone full of joy and joy: "Minister Pei Min has seen Your Majesty, and he is going to Liangzhou, I thought that he was just seeing the last face of the Taigong, and he would go back when he went, and he didn't want to make a mistake. Now seeing that His Majesty is in good health, and hearing that His Majesty is about to seal Mount Tai, I am really happy, and I have been running from Liangzhou non-stop. Most of the half-month itinerary will be reached in half a month. ”
He said this for granted.
In fact, he was in a hurry for Gongsun Youcai.
Since Li Longji cares about this, it should be because of him.
Li Long basically felt that Pei Min didn't have him as an emperor in his heart, and he was sulking, but now Pei Min came in a hurry, and Gao Lishi was on the side to help, and he said a lot of good things, and his anger disappeared a lot, but listening to his heartfelt words full of feelings, his heart was also faintly touched.
In the past, Pei Min went to the border and would greet him well before leaving.
This exception also made him babble for a long time.
However, Li Longji is full of feelings, but he is not easy to fool, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "What you said is good, it has been a few hours since I came to Chang'an, if I hadn't asked someone to invite you, I would have seen your person tomorrow." ”
Pei Min said cautiously: "Your Majesty has been wronged, and the minister can't wait to come to the palace to meet him immediately." It's just that the ministers came from thousands of miles, dusty and sweaty, and it was rude to come to see Your Majesty. What's more, at that time, I thought it was three o'clock in the morning, and the minister knew that His Majesty was used to it, and after you were used to handling government affairs, you usually enjoyed yourself with music and dance. Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, handles state affairs, and works very hard, and does not want to disturb too much, so he chose to ...... tomorrow."
Seeing that Li Longji was not satisfied with his explanation, Pei Min paused, and said: "It's just that I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and the minister doesn't know much about the situation in Beijing." When I was far away in Liangzhou, I heard that His Majesty's body complexion was a little strange, and I was really relieved in my heart. It just so happened that the minister's friend He Shilang came to greet him outside the city, he was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Lizheng Academy, he should know His Majesty's situation, and he couldn't take care of his family, so he went directly to Hefu. ”
Li Longji had the same expression, and his anger had dissipated without a trace.
Pei Min smiled and said: "I heard He Shilang say that Your Majesty was indeed in poor spirits a while ago, but in the past few months, it has also improved. The minister was really happy, and drank a few more glasses. When I heard that His Majesty had summoned me, I came non-stop. ”
Li Longji said comfortably: "Jingyuan has a heart, I haven't seen Jingyuan for a long time, and I miss it very much, so people will summon you into the palace to reminisce about the past." ”
After listening to Pei Min's explanation, he knew that he had misunderstood Pei Min.
However, Li Longji is the emperor, and as an emperor, even if he is wrong, he is right.
Only the courtiers admit their mistakes to the emperor, how can there be any reason for the emperor to apologize to the courtiers?
Li Longji will not apologize, but he shows his attitude with actions.
asked the Shang Food Bureau to prepare the meal again, and asked people to invite Li Guinian and them to come and cheer together.
Li Longji's inexplicable fire came and went quickly, and as soon as he turned his head, it was as if it hadn't happened, and he told Pei Min about the situation in the northwest.
Pei Min said in 1510 that he had also introduced the recent situation in the northwest in detail in his previous letter.
It's just that letters are not as good as face-to-face after all, and many details cannot be explained in the letters.
Now Pei Min is in front of him, just asking for details.
Pei Min said: "Now that everything in Liangzhou is on the right track, as long as the cultural and educational aspects can flourish, let those Yidi living in Liangzhou also know how to be loyal and patriotic." Just like the generals such as Qibi He Li and Ashina Sheer, they regard themselves as a part of the Tang Dynasty and serve His Majesty wholeheartedly, so it is no better. At the banquet just now, the minister also told He Shilang about it. He said that he was also a bachelor of Lai Zheng Xiu College, and that this matter could help a little. ”
Li Longji attaches great importance to culture and education, and agrees with Pei Min's move to promote Tang culture in Liangzhou. I will now appoint you as a bachelor of Zhaowen Pavilion and Lizheng Xiu Academy, and you can enter and leave Zhaowen Hall and Lizheng Xiu Academy at will, and the collection of books in the library courtyard will be selected and rubbed by Jingyuan. ”
He paused and said, "Your idea of this library is very wonderful, go back and write a detailed piece for me." I will discuss with the officials at the court meeting, if it is feasible. I built a library in Chang'an, Luoyang, and the northeast of Jiangnan, in the eleven roads of the world. In order to promote culture and education, and promote culture. ”
Pei Min was a little overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Needless to say, the chapter is self-explanatory. The minister wrote it out overnight...... However, the bachelors of Zhaowenguan and the bachelors of Lizheng Shushu Academy are really useless. ”
Li Longji said with concern: "Jingyuan has come all the way, and it will be hard. There is no rush in this matter...... As for reactive power? If Jingyuan is reactive, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not untie their belts and hang themselves one by one? An eternal article that can be compared with "Teacher Table" and "Persuasion", a book of enlightenment thaumaturgy that educates people and grows. Ordinary people get one of them, in order to be able to sing through the ages, Jingyuan one person creates the second, this splendid article, can there be a person in the world who is Jingyuan right? If there is no rule, the scholar will be the prime minister at the same time, and I will have the heart to make you a scholar......"
He thought about the "Three Character Classic" in the "Three Character Classic", "Ke Dading, Sifang Jing, Nai Datong", and he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he was full of praise for Pei Min.
Pei Min blushed a little, thinking that his official titles had been added to the bachelor of Zhaowen Pavilion and the bachelor of Lizheng Academy, and he was also secretly happy, this official title is not too much.
They also talked about the canonization of Zen.
Recently, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also talking about this matter, some say that it should be grander, and some say that it should be thrifty, and there are different opinions.
Li Longji couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he also wanted to hear Pei Min's opinion, so he asked: "Do you have any opinions on this Zen seal?" ”
Pei Min saw that Li Longji was asking about the matter, thought about it, and said with a bit of solemnity: "Then it depends on whether Your Majesty wants to shock the contemporary or be famous." ”
