Chapter 58: Wishful Thinking
Not long after Quan Wanji returned to the office, he was a little angry, he felt thirsty, and said, "Come on, make tea." ”
No one squeaked.
He raised his voice and shouted, "Someone." ”
Still no movement.
At this time, he heard someone talking outside, and one person said: "I will eat braised pork at noon today, and there are fat sausages, I will eat more." ”
One person said, "Ah, then I have to go early, if I go late, you will rob it all." ”
A maid said: "Hey, it's really strange for the new Changshi to not eat braised pork, let alone beef." That's not all, he doesn't drink tea. ”
A male servant said, "Also, he doesn't like candy or cake, what a weirdo." Tell me, how delicious is that cake? ”
"That's it, that's it." Someone chimed in.
Quan Wanji is so depressed that he can't cry or laugh - it's not that he doesn't eat, but he can't eat.
Since he entered the palace, he has not moved by himself, from officials at all levels to servants and maids, and everyone has turned a blind eye to him. No, no one even pays attention to it after taking a sip of tea.
He originally brought a few of his cronies and servants to take office, but these servants did not have the establishment of the palace, they could not eat a working meal at noon, and they could not do anything in the palace, so he had to send them away.
Now the palace of the king of Qi, the prestige of His Royal Highness the king of Qi is in full swing, the prince is arrogant and protects the calves, and everyone likes the personality of the prince. Delicious and delicious, a large amount of copper coins are sent down every month, and the words of the prince are as good as the holy decree. The white tiger secretly explained the words of the prince, and naturally no one took care of Quan Wanji.
Quan Wanji couldn't settle accounts with Li You, nor could he compete with those maids and servants, and he didn't dare to complain to Li Shimin about the matter. Just imagine, a dignified history of the Qi Wangfu is actually mixed up with this part, Li Shimin's first feeling will be that Quan Wanji is incompetent.
Quan Wanji is a dumb person who eats coptis, and he can't say what he is suffering from.
He looked at the empty teacup in front of him, was stunned for a while, and went out to walk towards Tian Min's office.
After the original chief Shi Huang Suxin left, all the big and small things in the palace were handled by the chief bookkeeper Tian Min, and at this moment, Tian Min's office was full of people.
Quan Wanji walked over, everyone turned a blind eye, what should he do, just treat him as a gust of wind, no one can see it.
Quan Wanji held back his anger and said to Tian Min: "I'll go to the Ministry to do some errands and go out." He turned and left.
When Quan Wanji left the palace, he found that several people were following him, and these people were not afraid that he would find out, anyway, wherever he went, those people followed. Quan Wanji wanted to discuss with Li Ke, but he didn't dare to go.
Quan Wanji turned around a few times, and the bright sun on his head made him dizzy, and he was nauseous for a while, and almost fell off the horse. He gasped for a few breaths, then took his breath and walked towards the Imperial City.
Ordinary people can't enter the imperial city. Quan Wanji entered the imperial city and found that those people actually followed in, and the officers and soldiers of the prison guards were very polite to them, and they entered the imperial city with a smile.
Quan Wanji didn't know that when Li You first sent new furniture to Concubine Yin, Chengsu, the general of the Left Prison Gate, liked it very much when he saw it. Since Li You sent someone to send him a set of new-style furniture, it was very convenient for the people of the Qi Palace's Mansion to enter and leave the imperial city.
Quan Wanji entered Zhongshu Province to get rid of the tracking of those people, and he asked to see Zeng Wenwen.
When he saw Zeng Wenwen, before he could speak, he felt that he was very thirsty, and he said that he wanted to drink tea. Zeng Wenwen asked someone to pour him a cup of brick tea, he drank two sips, and remembered that this brick tea was invented by Li You's bastard, so he stopped drinking it when he was angry.
Zeng Wenwen saw that he was not in a high mood and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Kwon Wanji wanted to cry, but he held back. He said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is really a bastard...... he told what happened to him in the past few days.
Zeng Wenwen heard Li You and Quan Wanji talk about learning from the example, and became alert, and said, "Could it be that he has noticed our plan?" ”
Quan Wanji said confidently: "Probably not, how can he have such a deep scheming when he is a hairy child?" I think he's just a child's heart and doesn't want to be restrained. ”
Zeng Wenwen put his mind at ease, nodded and said, "That's good." ”
Quan Wanji said depressedly: "However, this guy is too difficult to deal with, the people in the Qi Palace's mansion seem to respect him very much, and no one listens to me when I talk there, how can it go on like this?" ”
Zeng Wenwen said: "You drink tea first, let me think about it." ”
After a while, he asked: "You are his nominal master, just restrain him in this name, if he doesn't listen, you go to Your Majesty and Concubine Yin to complain, let them restrain him, it should be able to have a certain effect." ”
Quan Wanji shook his head and said, "This is difficult, he has already figured out a way to deal with me." Besides, the matter has been stabbed to His Majesty, and the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and His Majesty may not necessarily punish him. ”
Zeng Wenwen smiled: "You, you don't understand what I mean. Even if you find fault with him, and then go to complain, he has always been a bastard in His Majesty's mind. If you sue him once, Your Majesty may not care, but if you sue him many times, Your Majesty will definitely believe it.
As long as His Majesty comes forward and reprimands him fiercely, his behavior will be restrained, and slowly he will be afraid of you, won't it work if you speak? ”
Quan Wanji's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea, just do it." ”
Zeng Wenwen said: "I have thought of a way, you go and ask to see Your Majesty, and say that His Royal Highness King Qi is willing to accept your teachings." As for you, please ask Your Majesty to personally preside over a worship ceremony for him. With this official status, he will definitely be jealous of you. ”
Quan Wanji was very smart and immediately said, "Okay, good idea." I went to see Your Majesty and asked Him to preside over a public apprenticeship. After he officially worships me as a teacher in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, if he is disobedient, he will deceive the teacher and destroy his ancestors. Hmph, I don't believe he dares to risk the world's condemnation.
If he dares to do that, the spitting stars of the world will be able to drown him. Hahaha. ”
Zeng Wenwen said with a smile: "It is worthy of Xiao Zhuge . ”
Quan Wanji is resourceful and is known as Xiao Zhuge . Here it is necessary to introduce the origin of Kwon Wanji. Quan Wanji is talented, he is the champion of the first scientific examination of the Tang Dynasty, and wrote "Sui Zhi". He served as a scholar in the middle of the house, a doctor of the right counselor, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and was deeply valued by Li Shimin, so he was sent to serve as the master of Li Ke, the king of Shu, because of his good teaching, won the reputation of a teacher. Now he is going to serve as the master of Li You, the king of Qi.
Zeng Wenwen said: "I will go to your majesty now and ask him to summon you." ”
After listening to Zeng Wenwen's words, Li Shimin also wanted to know how his son was in the palace, so he summoned Quan Wanji.
Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin's study.
Li Shimin asked, "You went to the Qi Palace, what do you think?" ”
Quan Wanji said: "Your Majesty, when the minister arrived at the Qi Palace, His Royal Highness the King of Qi respected the minister very much, and the minister's work in the palace was also carried out smoothly.
His Royal Highness King Qi is gifted and intelligent, so he can help the imperial court solve many problems. The minister is very optimistic about His Royal Highness King Qi, thinking that he will definitely become a pillar of the court in the future, which is of great use. ”
Li Shimin was very happy to hear Quan Wanji praise Li You. He said; "This kid is smart, that's nothing to say. But this frivolous temperament still needs to be honed. You are a strict man, and you need to discipline him more. ”
Quan Wanji said: "The minister obeys the order. Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request, and I hope that Your Majesty will grant permission. ”
Li Shimin said: "Say it." ”
Quan Wanji said: "Your Majesty, you also know that His Royal Highness King Qi has a rebellious temperament, and the minister is his master, but there is no apprenticeship ceremony at present, and some names are not right. The minister implores His Majesty to hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony for His Royal Highness King Qi in public, so that the ministers can restrain His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”
Li Shimin smiled: "Yes, I almost forgot that kid is not stingy." As it should be. In this way, tomorrow in the morning court, you go to the court with him, and you will go to the morning court and hold a bow in public. ”
"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty. The ministers should do their best to teach His Royal Highness the King of Qi. "Quan Wanji is overjoyed.
Out of the Liangyi Palace, Quan Wanji was in a good mood, feeling that the sky was bluer, and the sun was no longer dazzling. "Hmm", I don't feel thirsty anymore, it's cool.
"Hmph, hum! When the apprenticeship ceremony is held, I want to see, do you dare to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors? Ha, ha, haha! Kwon Wanji laughed triumphantly.
