Chapter 931: Didn't make it to the top five

Got it! Of course I do!

None of the ministers present were stupid, what is the ultimate goal of being an official? Of course, it is fame and fortune and leaving a name in history.

Everyone wants to leave a name in history, and half of them only work hard for this ultimate goal, and as a result, they live like Wei Zheng. The other half of the people set their sights on fame and fortune, and as a result, they didn't want to be famous in history, but their deeds were passed on. Of course, it is the infamy that has been passed on.

And half of the people want to have both, but unfortunately, people who can do both are really rare.

And the emperor's Lingyan Pavilion is an opportunity to achieve it overnight and leave its name in history. For those of them who didn't follow the emperor to fight the world at the beginning, this opportunity should not be too happy.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our best to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"

In the neat voices of the ministers, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, he only wanted to add his old courtiers to Lingyan Pavilion, but Li Chengqian directly opened his mouth to ask him for ten positions. The sentence "Doesn't the father leave some motivation for the ministers" made him speechless.

After looking at the expressions of the ministers again, Li Shimin smiled, Li Chengqian is qualified enough to be a qualified emperor, this suggestion is indeed very effective.

The court meeting ended in a state of enthusiasm among the officials, and they left in pairs, still discussing the affairs of Lingyan Pavilion. Since the emperor announced it, he must have this opportunity. They were originally unknown, and if they wanted to reach the heights of the Protector of the Kingdom, Fang Xiang, and others, Lingyan Pavilion was both a goal and a good shortcut.

"Hehehe, your 10,000 gold coins, remember to transfer it to the old man's account."

The latest to come out were Leng Feng and Wei Zheng, Leng Feng was looking for the emperor to have something to do, and Wei Zheng was to thank him.

Hearing Wei Zheng's reminder, Leng Feng rolled his eyes and said: "I think that Zheng Guogong, who was as honest as water at the beginning, would not open his mouth and close his mouth to talk about money, nor would he chase after the account." ”

Wei Zheng laughed: "It was the beginning, and now it is the present." The old man has been honest all his life, from being an official to resigning from an official, there is only one house, no family property, and even the coffin prepared for himself is ordinary wood. Now that the old man has retired, for the sake of the court's face, he has to make his life a little more luxurious! ”

If other people say that they want to make their lives a little more luxurious, Leng Feng will definitely spit on it. But since this person is Wei Zheng, then forget it.

Wei Zheng's incorruptibility is not pretending to be upright, he really aims to be a model of incorruptibility, and he has been the same for more than 30 years. His existence has indeed guided the wind of honesty in the imperial court.

"The account has already been transferred to you, and the salary given to you by the Academy of Literature has also been transferred to your account. Just resigned, it is inevitable to rest for a few days, and after a few days, Zheng Guogong remembers to go to work. ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, but he didn't care. The Academy of Literature did this for fear that he would forget the original agreement or run away. And he has no plans to retire like this. As long as his legs and feet are still sharp, he doesn't want to eat ready-made meals.

The two men bypassed the main hall and waited for the emperor directly at the entrance of the harem.

After a while, the emperor appeared in front of the two.

After going down to the court, the emperor temporarily rested in the apse for a while, and when he came out, he actually took off his dragon robe, only wearing an untied robe, and walked away in the wind with his underwear exposed, which was extremely scattered. 877 Good Books Network

If this scene was seen by Wei Zheng in the past, he would definitely blow up his hair, but this time, Wei Zheng didn't pay attention to it, and only waited for the emperor to get closer before saying: "Your Majesty, although it has not turned cold at this time, you are still susceptible to wind and cold, and the old minister advises you to take care of your body." ”

Wei Zheng didn't get mad, which made Li Shimin very uncomfortable, but he still explained as usual: "I am wearing a heavy dragon robe, and I sit on the throne all morning, it is inevitable that it will be hot, since Zheng Guogong thinks it is inappropriate, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin looked weak as usual, Leng Feng held back a smile again.

Seeing Leng Feng's expression, Li Shimin suddenly became angry: "Originally, I announced your portrait, I thought you would be grateful to Dai De, but I didn't expect you to do the same thing." Leng Feng, what kind of place is Ling Yan Pavilion, don't you understand? ”

Leng Feng smiled: "It's just a honor list, it's better to reward some gold coins, reveal it, what is my ranking in Lingyan Pavilion?" I won't even be in the top five. ”

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth drew a strange arc: "In the top five, there is no you." ”

Hearing this, Leng Feng suddenly felt cold.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji can rank first, but he didn't even mix in the top five?

"It's so sad! Why do you have me in the top ten? ”

The curvature of the corners of Li Shimin's mouth was even greater: "There are no top ten." ”

Hearing this, Leng Feng didn't feel cold. He is a dignified heirloom of the country, and since he can get this title, he must have merit and title matching. If it is said that the heirloom prince can't enter the top ten of Lingyan Pavilion, it is definitely a joke.

Li Shimin is obviously playing with him.

Wei Zheng knew from beginning to end that the emperor was joking, so he was not surprised at all. If even Leng Feng can't be ranked in the Lingyan Pavilion, then the Lingyan Pavilion is not used to commend meritorious heroes, but to worship the gods.

Seeing that Leng Feng was no longer in a hurry, he knew that the joke had been seen through, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said, "Boring, I originally wanted to see what your anxious eyes look like." Forget it, since you two are staying, let's eat with me, and we'll talk about other things after dinner. ”

Receiving a banquet from the emperor is a supreme honor, but for Zhenguan ministers, these are ordinary things.

Unlike other monarchs and ministers, Li Shimin has fought the world with them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are friends of life and death. The allusion to the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackeys did not occur in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Li Shimin's lunch is very simple, just four dishes and one soup, that's all, counting the amount of Wei Zheng and Leng Feng.

The dignified emperor eats not as well as the rich merchants.

Seeing Wei Zheng and Leng Feng's doubts, Li Shimin explained: "I have been in Jiucheng Palace for a long time, the food or something, just enough to eat, why be so extravagant and wasteful." I have calculated that as long as I continue to be frugal like this, by the end of the year, I will be able to save a few hundred gold coins on food alone. A few hundred gold coins is inconspicuous to us, but when put into a road repair project, it is enough to build a road within the jurisdiction of a county town. ”

Putting down the chopsticks, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty has such a thrifty heart, which is a blessing for all the people in the world!" ”
