Chapter 54: Wei Zheng Arrives
The atmosphere of the Lantern Festival gradually faded, and the people around Luoyang, after joining in the excitement, also returned to their homeland and continued to live a dull life.
Compared with the tranquility of Luoyang, the Tang Guogong Mansion is much more lively, even if Tang Guogong is not in the mansion, Li Xuanba is reluctant to see guests, and there is still an endless stream of officials who come to visit. They don't have to see Li Xuanba, the most important thing is that the heart must be delivered, and the post must be delivered.
Li Xuanba is indifferent to gift-giving, and there are few ministers in the court, Li Xuanba knows, and as for local officials, naturally not to mention. So, he simply handed over the matter of receiving gifts to Li Gou to be responsible, as for what benefits Li Gou got from it, Li Xuanba didn't ask, the right was to win people's hearts.
In fact, Li Xuanba understands that the reason why these people give gifts is just to leave some impressions, and when Li Xuanba soars one day in the future, they can still rely on it.
Why was Li Xuanba able to soar? Don't you know that His Majesty asked him to accompany the princess alone for a night shopping?
As an official in the court, he has learned to figure out the holy will to some extent, Li Xuanba is His Majesty's favorite minister, and there are certainly not a few people who come to give gifts.
However, Wei Zheng was the first person who came to hand over the prayer post without a gift.
When Wei Zheng came to the door, Li Gou saw that he was alone and came empty-handed, so he naturally didn't care and left him aside. It's just that Li Gou didn't expect that after the door was closed, other local officials left, but Wei Zheng stood outside the door all night.
When Li Xuanba left the mansion the next day, he found a man standing outside the door who was almost frozen, and hurriedly sent someone to help him to the mansion, take care of him, and wait for him to return to the mansion.
At the beginning, Li Xuanba didn't know Wei Zheng's identity, but he felt that the person was pitiful and couldn't bear it. After he returned home, he heard that the person hadn't left yet, so he went to look at it curiously, and when he asked, it turned out to be Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng.
After retiring from the subordinates, Li Xuanba asked respectfully: "The negligence of the subordinates last night made Mr. Wei suffer." ”
When Wei Zheng heard this, he was shocked, and secretly said how could Li Xuanba call himself Mr. Wei, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The official position of the lower official is low, and he does not dare to accept the title of Mr. Zhongyongwei." ”
Li Xuanba suddenly remembered that Wei Zheng at this time was just a master book under Wuyang Juncheng, and it was indeed inappropriate to call him Mr. However, he rolled his eyes and explained: "Xuanba is a rough person, and he has always admired scholars, and there is nothing wrong with calling you sir. ”
Wei Zheng still refused, and Li Xuanba said helplessly: "You came to the Tang State Mansion, presumably not to argue with me about this title, right?" If he continued to refuse, Xuanba would have to send off the guests. After speaking, he put on an unhappy expression.
"Your Excellency, don't be angry, the lower officials have come to meet your lords, and you really have something to ask for." Wei Zheng remembered the matter, and didn't pay attention to what Li Xuanba said, and said respectfully.
Wei Zheng had something to ask for, and Li Xuanba was naturally willing to help, but he didn't rush to agree, but asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Wei?" ”
"The lower official wants to meet the saint in person, and he hopes that the lord will recommend him." Wei Zheng suddenly fell to the ground, Li Xuanba couldn't react, and accepted a salute. After he reacted, he hurriedly helped Wei Zheng up.
"In this Luoyang City, there are not a few people who can be recommended for Mr., why does Mr. want me to be introduced?" Li Xuanba said with some uneasiness: "Dare to ask Mr. What do you want to tell Your Majesty?" ”
Wei Zheng sneered and said: "The lower officials want to inform Your Majesty of the current situation of the land of the hundred counties one by one, Your Majesty is becoming more and more arrogant, and he will definitely not like it, who dares to recommend it?" ”
Li Xuanba was still a little worried about whether this Wei Zheng was a person with the same name, but after listening to his words at this time, he immediately confirmed it. At the same time, he was a little speechless in his heart, and said secretly: What you said is so direct, someone dares to recommend it, it's not normal.
"Ahem." Li Xuanba coughed lightly and reminded: "Mr. still needs to be cautious. ”
The disappointment in Wei Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "My lord, Your Majesty treats you well, and now there are traitors who deceive the Holy Hearing, is your lord willing to sit idly by?" ”
Li Xuanba smiled wryly, not knowing how to answer.
Wei Zheng was angry when he saw Li Xuanba's expression, but when he finally met a person who was willing to see him, Wei Zheng was angry again, and he had to suppress his anger and persuade: "Your Majesty is the King of Sainthood, as long as you know the truth, you will definitely make a decision." Moreover, the lord only needs to introduce the lower officials, if His Majesty does not listen to the advice, the lower officials will definitely not drag down the adults, if His Majesty listens, the lower officials are willing to attribute all the credit to the adults. ”
"The other lords in the mansion are not stupid, if it is really that simple, they have already introduced you for you, how can you come to me?" Li Xuanba said a little unhappily: "Are you deceiving me when I am young and easy to deceive?" ”
Wei Zheng was told what was on his mind, and his face changed slightly.
Loyal and brave, but almost idiot, the people of the world know about it.
Before Wei Zheng came to the Tang State Mansion, he deliberately inquired about Li Xuanba's current situation, and knew that after he was struck by lightning, he lost his force and his personality became gentle, so he successfully met Li Xuanba with an attitude of trying.
Of course, Wei Zheng also heard that Li Xuanba is no different from ordinary people now, not an idiot in the past, but he didn't expect that Li Xuanba was so young and analyzed things so carefully.
"Xiaguan is indeed a little selfish, I hope your lordship will forgive me." Wei Zheng bowed his hand and said: "However, now that there are traitors and thieves, if Your Majesty does not reflect on himself, I am afraid"
What will become of the Great Sui in the future, Li Xuanba naturally knows better than anyone else, but what can he do? What do you dare to do? If you inadvertently change history, what will be the consequences?
If he brought Wei Zheng to Yang Guang this time, then Wei Zheng would either anger Yang Guang and fall to the ground, or he would be reused by Yang Guang and reorganize the Great Sui, but this is all contrary to history.
Li Xuanba still hasn't realized that he has changed history by coming to this world, and the princess he is pursuing now is Li Shimin's concubine in history.
Since Li Xuanba was struck by lightning and did not die, history has been different from what he remembers, and in short, the future history is equivalent to taking place in another plane.
"Do you think this Manchu Dynasty is a fool?" Li Xuanba sighed and said, "Don't you want to think about it, why didn't they tell Your Majesty?" ”
"Your Majesty thinks that the world is peaceful, and there are only some clowns who jump off the beam to make trouble." Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "If someone tells Your Majesty that the world is in chaos, I am afraid that I will die in front of the palace." Wei Zheng stood up, looked at the night outside the door, and said fearlessly: "Even so, someone has to send a few lives, and the officials are willing to be an introduction." ”
No wonder Wei Zheng is known as the first counselor of the ages, knowing that he will die, he still wants to die, how many people can compare with such courage? Of course, it is also his fate, Li Shimin can listen to the advice, otherwise, Wei Zheng has a hundred lives, but I am afraid that it will not be enough.
"The so-called introduction means that there is something else behind." Li Xuanba didn't want to watch Wei Zheng die, thought about it, and said: "Sir, who in this Luoyang City is willing to follow Mr. to death?" ”
Wei Zheng was stunned, thought for a moment, bowed his head and said nothing.
"Now that the time has not come, Mr. should save himself first, and there will naturally be a place for Mr. in the future." Li Xuanba persuaded softly, and in order to appease Wei Zheng, he said: "Can the so-called traitorous person of Mr. be explicit?" If Xuanba has the opportunity, he can also remind His Majesty. ”
"Imperial Doctor Pei Yun." Wei Zheng said hatefully.
