Chapter Forty-Eight: Gossip Wenyuan Pavilion
The Emperor struggled inwardly. If anyone dares to delay him to go to Renshou Palace to meet his biological mother, he will definitely not be spared. But Qian Jin just solved a problem for him, and he was the champion he ordered, so the feelings in this are naturally different.
"What else is there to say?" The Emperor asked patiently.
Qian Jin accompanied him with a smile: "Your Majesty, Shicai Wang Shangshu also participated in my two crimes." If there is no conclusion, Weichen is only afraid that it will be difficult to sleep and eat in the future. ”
The Emperor smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal. He said to Wang Shangshu again: "Wang Shangshu, the wine of the Qian waiter has already been drunk, and it tastes good, you can also go and buy some." As for the tailor, what's the big deal with a couple of clothes. ”
Qian Jin hurriedly thanked him. At the moment, what he cares about most is his own business, and he never thought that Wang Shangshu was very clear about his details, and he must have already investigated. Just in case, he asked the emperor for these few words. In the future, if anyone talks about his workshop, he will bring out the emperor's big Buddha.
"It's here, then let's retreat." The Emperor got up and prepared to leave.
The ministers shouted "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live".
After the emperor left, the ministers also prepared to return to their homes. It's been a busy morning, and everyone is tired and hungry.
Wang Shangshu was still standing still in the distance at the moment, his face was cloudy.
Qian Jin stepped forward and made a gesture: "Wang Shangshu, I don't know where the subordinate officials have offended your old man?" Please give me some pointers. ”
"I can't talk about pointing, I don't have your money to talk about my ability." Wang Shangshu dropped this sentence and walked away.
Qian Jin sneered in his heart, and he didn't care. The left and right are all people who show their knives to themselves, and they will have to have a battle in the future.
After a while, none of the ministers in the Fengtian Hall were left, except for Shousuke, who was still standing there.
Qian Jin stepped forward and saluted, arched his hand and asked, "Shoufu is going to Wenyuan Pavilion?" ”
Li Shoufu nodded and said with a smile: "Boy, is there a strange old man who doesn't help you speak?" ”
"Don't dare. Shoufu is to give the younger generation a chance to experience. ”
"You kid...... It's just too smart to talk to you at all", Shoufu smiled and pointed to Qian Jin, and then pointed to the gate of Fengtian Palace: "Let's go, go to Wenyuan Pavilion and sit down." ”
Qian Jin followed behind Shoufu according to his words.
The two of them left the gate of the Fengtian Temple and headed east, and after more than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a pavilion.
Here is the Wenyuan Pavilion, there are about more than 20 pavilions, it looks like the scales are poor, antique, it is the place where the emperor collects books and the cabinet ministers are on duty. There are four separate duty rooms in the main pavilion, and there is one of the first assistants. When encountering unresolved important matters in the court, the first assistant is here to issue a vote, and then report to the emperor and the queen mother to make a joint decision.
The two entered Wenyuan Pavilion and climbed two more flights of stairs to the duty room on the second floor.
The father-in-law of the imperial dining room was waiting at the door with a food box. Shousuke glanced at the carved red lacquer food box, then smiled at Qian Jin, and opened the door himself.
Qian Jin took the food box from the little eunuch with his left hand, and quietly stuffed fifty taels of silver with his right hand to send him away.
"Shousuke doesn't eat lunch?" Qian Jin asked when he saw Shoufu enter the door and went straight to the piece on the table.
"Older people eat a small amount of food, and there is not much difference between eating and not eating at no. You eat it. With that, Shousuke sat down and concentrated on the recital.
Qian Jin is really hungry. First, it was time for lunch at this point, and secondly, it was really physically exhausting to fight wits and courage with Wang Shangshu and the rest of the adults today. So he didn't say anything polite to Shousuke, and after a while, he swept away all the food in the food box.
"Go close the door." Shousuke commanded.
Qian Jin closed the door as he said. He saw that the fold on the table was more than a foot high, so he picked out a spare book from the bookcase against the wall and read it.
After about half an hour, Shousuke had already attached all the folds on the table to the ticket. He got up and walked around the room for a while, stretching his muscles and bones for a while, before he said to Qian Jin: "How about it, today can be regarded as seeing the sinister above the court, right?" ”
"What Shousuke said is that this shouting and killing at every turn is indeed thrilling. The younger generation went to court on the first day today, and they were still a little uncomfortable for a while. Qian Jin closed the book and replied. Although he said this, he didn't care in his heart. When the sea ban was broken, he asked the emperor for a will to concentrate on making money, and in the future, he would not be able to see the affairs of the court.
Shoufu smiled and said, "The old man also came here like this, and after decades, he couldn't see it more clearly. It's like that in the court, you can't escape the word 'profit'. As he spoke, Shousuke sat back down in front of the desk. He picked up a bowl of tea on the table and took a sip, looked at Qian Jin and said playfully: "The old man will test you, what doorways have you seen in the court today?" ”
Qian Jin thought about it for a while, and then said: "Since Shoufu said the word "benefit", then the ministers who seconded Wang Shangshu today are for the benefit of Cao Yun. The younger generation's suggestion of shipping is to move their wealth, so they want to help Wang Shangshu to visit me. ”
"Yes, that's good. Thinking about it, it looks like you've done your homework. If you didn't know how to advance and retreat, and raised a sea ceiling, I'm afraid it would really become an endless situation. Shoufu nodded and said, and raised his hand to signal Qian Jin to continue.
"The juniors don't have to worry about this, in case they can't finish the game, there will naturally be your old man." Qian Jin smiled and continued: "However, today's junior has made a round of meat on the board, but it is Wang Shangshu who is the one who holds the knife." ”
Shoufu's eyes were shining, and he praised: "You can actually think of this, it seems that the old man still underestimated you a little before." However, have you offended Wang Shangshu before? ”
"Except for the matter of the champion, the younger generation really can't think of any place that has offended him." Qian Jin replied.
"The matter of the champion should not make him murderous to you." Shousuke thought for a while and said, "These ministers are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and there is always a reason to do things. Before, the old man thought that he was coming for me, or for His Majesty, but after thinking about it, it wasn't all. ”
"Oh? Shousuke's prestige in the court is in full swing, and there are people who are arguing with you? Qian Jinqi said.
Shoufu smiled and said: "Although the old man is in charge of money and food, Wang Shangshu's officials are in charge of the assessment and promotion of officials all over the world, so naturally there are people who are attached to it, and there are not a few. Moreover, Wang Shangshu is still serving as the deputy chief assistant, if nothing goes wrong, he will probably be the next first assistant. ”
"This junior is the first time I've heard of it." Qian Jin stroked his forehead and exclaimed.
"You, don't just mess with your two workshops, go out and walk around more. Otherwise, one day I did a ghost who was wrongfully killed, and I don't know who did it. Shousuke scolded with a smile.
"Don't you want to make some more money? You also know that the younger generation does not have a lot of money, and there are expenses everywhere in the capital. Qian Jin explained with a smile, and then asked, "You just said that Wang Shangshu may be going to His Majesty?" What does this mean? ”
"Huh...... Although Your Majesty is the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the government is still assigned to the ministers, which is called the separation of powers. Right now, His Majesty trusts the old man, and Wang Shangshu naturally has to stand aside. But the old man is old, and it will be a good ending to be able to return to his hometown in a few years. Shoufu glanced at Qian Jin solemnly and said, "But you're different." ”
"What does it have to do with juniors?" Qian Jin was puzzled.
"Don't you think you're too holy? His Majesty first gave you an inscription, and then pointed out your champion, and he also protected you in every way above the court. Shoufu paused, and then said: "You must know that an ordinary Beijing official rarely speaks a few words to His Majesty in a year. ”
Qian Jin thought about it for a while, and it was true. But that's not something he can control. He couldn't run to the emperor and say something like "can we stop being so close?" However, Shoufu's words reminded Qian Jin. The emperor's treatment of himself is indeed extraordinary, even a little beyond the scope of the monarch and ministers. Could it be ...... Your Majesty has a habit of breaking sleeves? Thinking of this, Qian Jin got goosebumps all over his body.
Shoufu didn't expect that Qian Jin was thinking about all dirty things at the moment. He slowly walked to the window and looked at the Fengtian Temple standing in the distance, his eyes were full of reminiscence, and after a long time, he sighed: "The old man has been in the dynasty for forty years, and he can't compare to you young people." ”
"According to the younger generation, your old man is old and strong." Qian Jin said with relief.
Li Shoufu shook his head and smiled: "The old man will always retire one day, but there must be a few people in this court who speak for the people." Your Majesty values you, if the old man supports you from the side, coupled with the prestige of Tianzhenggong, it will be difficult for you to become an important minister in the future with your ability. ”
"Uh...... Shoufu said with a smile, the juniors just wanted to break the sea ban as soon as possible and go out early to earn silver. Qian Jin waved his hand and said.
Originally, becoming an official in the court was not his ultimate goal. At the beginning, his mentor Yang Yinghe persuaded him to take the imperial examination, but now Shoufu has asked him to become an important minister. In the long run, his goal of making money will be achieved in the Year of the Monkey. Only with money can he have the confidence to deal with the disaster of the Xiaoice Age.
Shousuke's reaction to Qian Jin was a little surprised. Is there any official in this court who doesn't want to enter the cabinet to pay respects? In order to be promoted to the first rank, how many people are not fighting for the head of the bloodstream? However, since he has entered the court, many things are involuntary.
Shousuke smiled and said, "I'll talk about the sea ban later...... Just now, since the old man can think so, Wang Shangshu is afraid that he will also think so. You are the same age as Your Majesty, if you become a climate, he Wang Shangshu is afraid that there will be no hope. ”
"Wang Shangshu is afraid that the younger generation will get in his way? Then he didn't have to. Besides, he Wang Shangshu doesn't need to personally participate in me, can't so many followers find one at random? The reason for participating in the younger generation is also so lame. Sea ban? Since Your Majesty can establish a sea ban, it will naturally be abolished. Dry law? Nowadays, no one in the capital does not drink. As for immorality, that's even more nonsense. ”
This is exactly what the old man is puzzled about. Now that I think about it, Wang Shangshu's participation in your matter is too ostentatious, but it seems to be a show for others...... In short, you should be more careful when walking in the capital. ”
