Chapter 47: General Zhenyuan's Mansion
The civil and military officials in the main hall did not seem to be very good when they saw the emperor's face, in the past, this was the prelude to the imminent outbreak of the storm, and everyone was speculating in their hearts about how the emperor would deal with this guy who dared to refuse the reward and was disrespectful to the court.
No one in the hall spoke, so quiet that you could hear everyone's breathing. Yue Yuan stared at the emperor with straight eyes, and the emperor also stared at Yue Sheng with blazing eyes, since Emperor Li Yuan became the emperor, no one dared to refute and disobey him for many years.
Yuesheng really couldn't get off the stage in this place, and he felt that the pride in his heart was as uncomfortable as being trampled on, and the key problem was that he couldn't get angry, because the person who disobeyed him in front of him was just a teenager, and this teenager had made great contributions.
If you are biased in your own handling, it will inevitably cause discussion among the government and the opposition, saying that I, the emperor, have no heart to tolerate others, and I will take revenge, which will cause criticism.
Just when the emperor was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, a slapping sound suddenly sounded in the hall.
Everyone didn't have time to shake their heads secretly, who ate the leopard's gall and dared to slap at this time, isn't this a lantern in the pit and looking for death! So everyone looked at the place where the voice came from, and took a closer look, but it was the eldest grandson Wuji.
I saw the eldest grandson Wuji walking out, and said loudly:
"It's rare that there are still people like Li Yuesheng who don't admire wealth and power, and this kind of boldness really makes me ashamed, and I should be a model for my generation.
As the old saying goes: God has the virtue of a good life, and a gentleman is the beauty of an adult. Therefore, for the ministers to dare to suggest that His Majesty, it is better to follow Li Yuesheng's son's wishes, presumably this matter will be passed on to future generations, and it will definitely be a good talk. ”
The eldest grandson, Wuji, bowed to the emperor. Then he said:
"Li Yuesheng's son and Miss Li Yue'e have made great contributions to the society, and the imperial court has given them commendations and awards, and the two can refrain from awarding them, but our court can't not give them, otherwise the historian's record will be passed on to future generations, and it will be said that my court is lonely.
Therefore, the minister has the courage to suggest that he build the Zhenyuan General's Mansion for his sisters, to praise and show his merits, which will definitely bring a gust of fresh air to the government and the opposition, but if there is something in the court in the future, strange people and strange people will flock to it, and the Tang Dynasty will be eternal and solid. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji spoke and talked endlessly, causing many civil and military officials in the hall to nod secretly, and they were impressed by the courage and eloquence of the eldest grandson Wuji.
The scene in the main hall was made by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the originally embarrassing atmosphere was eased a lot, and even the emperor began to show a faint smile on his face, nodding at the eldest grandson Wuji.
"According to Wuji's words, not only to build the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, but also to build a strange and strange mansion, in the future, anyone with special skills can live in the Strange Strange Mansion, and the cost will be borne by the national government, and this matter will be handed over to the King of Qin."
King Qin walked out and took the order back.
"As for Li Yuesheng and Li Yue'e's rewards, because the two of them are young and still need to study and train, they don't need to participate in any meetings and ceremonies of the imperial court until they reach adulthood."
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Yuesheng and Yue'e, waiting for their reply.
"Your Majesty Xie understands!"
Yuesheng and Yue'e thanked each other, and then returned to the side of King Qin, who was smiling and looking at the two, and now the meaning is already obvious, the treatment and title enjoyed by the two remain unchanged, but they don't have to do anything for the court, they can still do their own thing.
Such an arrangement is undoubtedly a happy thing for Yuesheng and Yue'e, because with this identity, it will be much more convenient to go out to do errands.
However, not having to do things means that Yuesheng and Yue'e have no real power in their hands, but how can Yuesheng and Yuesheng mind? To be honest, secular rights have no influence at all on Yuesheng and Yue'e.
The two of them originally came to settle the grievances of their fathers, and the capital will not be a place for the two to stay for a long time, but when everything is over, they will leave.
Then, the court began to chatter about other things, and unlike what Yuesheng had just done, the court began to divide into two factions, led by the crown prince and the king of Qin, each fighting on their own grounds, trying to persuade each other to let the other party follow their own suggestions.
The most debated thing is personnel, such as the personnel appointment of such and such a state, the list of personnel who need to be selected in such and such an army, the personnel who change guards at the border gates, and so on.
Of course, there are also special envoys from such and such countries to visit, as a state of etiquette, how should we welcome the envoys, how should we settle down, how should we set up a banquet...
Yuesheng and Yue'e watched all this with interest, and through their discussions, Yuesheng and Yue'e were also able to get to know many people, and understand their talents and abilities through their conversations.
Generally speaking, this is a thriving and vibrant court, and the emperor can humbly listen to the opinions of hundreds of officials. Civil and military officials can also express their own opinions and display their ambitions.
However, in this process, it is also full of deceit, and all kinds of tricks and tricks are endless, and the two factions have their own offense and defense, and they have mutual gains and losses.
And the emperor was high up, and seemed to enjoy this kind of factional struggle very much, always smiling at the two factions fighting red-faced, and finally decided the ownership of the incident with a hammer.
This is the power scheme, this is the emperor's skill to control people, which gives the young Yuesheng and Yue'e a vivid political lesson.
When the sun turned west, the hundred officials ended the discussion, and left the hall in order in the hoarse sound of the father-in-law.
Yuesheng and Yue'e also wanted to turn around and return with everyone, but the father-in-law shouted again with a sharp voice:
"The crown prince and the king of Qin, as well as General Zhenyuan and General Fengyi, please stay, Your Majesty has other important matters to discuss."
Yuesheng and Yue'e didn't react, they still had to go out, but they were pulled by King Qin, and the two of them remembered that there was a new title now, General Zhenyuan and General Fengyi, and the two of them didn't look at each other and smile.
After the hundreds of officials in the court were dispersed, the father-in-law-like man stepped forward and made a gesture to the prince and the king of Qin.
The prince and the king of Qin smiled slightly at the father-in-law.
"Manager Zhang, I don't know what my father left me with this time?"
The prince asked.
"Your Majesty asked the slaves to prepare a family banquet, please go with the four of you, and the four of you please come with the slaves!"
The prince and King Qin hurriedly went up to support their father-in-law, and the three of them talked and laughed and walked to another palace.
Yuesheng and Yue'e were very reluctant in their hearts, but they had to go, otherwise they would lose their manners, so they had to follow the three from a distance, and after a while, King Qin stopped walking, and when Yuesheng and Yue'e approached, he introduced the father-in-law in front of them to the two.
"Father-in-law Zhang is the chief of the inner house, the most trusted person of my father, he has served my father for fifty years, and he has watched our brothers grow up, and he has been very good to us.
King Qin looked at the back of the Zhang Guild and said to the two Yuesheng.
"Therefore, our brothers are very good to Grandpa Zhang, and we respect him very much in our hearts, and many times, what we dare not say to our father is to Grandpa Zhang, and he will convey it to his father. After Gonggong Zhang's submission, many things that his father did not agree to can often be done when he says so. ”
King Qin seemed to be stuck in memory, looking at the backs of his father-in-law and the crown prince, stunned.
