Chapter 214: Imperial Decree
In the living room, the wine was fragrant and warm, Wen Wan'er showed a rare playful look, held her chin and thought about it, and then said with a light smile: "Xianggong, now that you are in Chinese New Year's Eve, how about you write a poem that suits the occasion?" β
Su Wuming nodded: "Okay, it's just that this poem for the occasion has no artistic conception, and I'm afraid that the name won't be able to get out!" β
Wen Wan'er also knows the etiquette of poetry and books, among so many poems in her previous life, there are really not many who describe the New Year and are praised.
But today, Wen Wan'er was unrelenting, and said a little coquettishly: "I don't care, I don't care, you have to write a poem with a sense of meaning, otherwise how will your name spread." β
Su Wuming was very helpless, he really had a lot of poems in his belly to celebrate the New Year, but it was not suitable for him to use them at this time, I am afraid it would be difficult to be satisfied with Wen Wan'er, after thinking about it carefully, he came up with a so-so poem from many poems, so he smiled lightly and said:
Sending a message to Tianyake, the light cold bottom is worried;
The spring breeze is not far away, only at the east end of the house.
This is the Ming Dynasty Yu Qian made the night Taiyuan is very cold, this poem describes the situation is also quite similar to Su Wuming, first of all, Su Wuming They are far away from Luoyang Jingshi, they can be regarded as Tianyake; Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the light cold is indeed almost over, and the spring breeze is not far away, faintly suggesting that the imperial court may soon think of him, and then order him to enter Beijing.
Wen Wan'er has also read the book, and after listening to Su Wuming's poem, she suddenly became happy, and said: "Xianggong's poem is really good, to the point, and he has written his own situation and intentions, if this poem spreads and reaches the ears of the emperor in the capital, he will definitely send someone to invite Xianggong back to Beijing." β
Su Wuming smiled, if the emperor really heard it, I am afraid it will be difficult to change his mind, after all, when he was in the capital, Su Wuming didn't know how to raise and offended Niu and Li's two parties, how could they let Su Wuming enter Beijing like this?
But just when Su Wuming was thinking like this, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then Nangong Yan hurriedly ran from outside, shouting as she ran: "Su Lang, the emperor has sent someone to deliver the decree......"
It was too sudden, but when they didn't know the content of the holy decree, everyone's faces were a little uncertain.
Welcoming the eunuch into the living room, everyone immediately knelt down to listen to the decree, and the eunuch shouted in a male duck voice: "Dali Temple Si Zhisu has been patrolling Jianghuai for a year, and his political achievements are quite rich, and he is now ordered to return to Beijing." β
The holy decree did not reward Su Wuming, but just asked him to return to Beijing, as if the emperor had not thought of the reward at all, but after all, he could return to Chang'an, and Su Wuming and others hurriedly received the decree to thank him.
The eunuch who passed the decree was a man in his thirties, known as Father-in-law Xi, after passing the decree, he smiled at Su Wuming and said, "Master Su, you have been away for a year, and you have worked hard, find a time to return to Beijing quickly, don't delay." β
Su Wuming responded again and again, and then immediately asked people to serve tea, of course, he had to give his father-in-law some errand fees for passing the decree, the eunuch saw that Su Wuming knew the rules very well, and immediately smiled, and said: "Master Su, you are really a good means, you have solved so many cases in this place within a year, the emperor can see it in his eyes, and after going back, he must be promoted." β
Su Wuming smiled: "There, there, eating the king's luck, it's just worrying about the king, and it can't be regarded as a merit." β
After the two of them said kind words like this, Su Wuming said tentatively: "Father-in-law, I don't know what changes have happened in this capital?" β
Su Wuming hasn't returned to Beijing for a year, so he naturally wants to know what has changed in the capital, otherwise it won't be fun to offend anyone after he goes back.
Father-in-law Xi naturally understood what Su Wuming was referring to, and said with a light smile: "The change is quite big, Li Deyu and Lord Li are now deeply favored by the emperor, and the emperor will discuss with him first if he has any major affairs in the court, then Niu Zengru, hum, he was demoted by the emperor, and now he only has one idle position, but I am afraid that he will not be able to turn over!" β
"What about Dali Temple, what has changed in Dali Temple?" What Su Wuming wants to know most is the situation in Dali Temple, but this Xi Gonggong doesn't seem to know much about the situation in Dali Temple, and only says that the people who used to rely on Niu Zengru have been degraded, and Lord Li's protΓ©gΓ© and former official are naturally rising.
Hearing this, Su Wuming already had a little understanding in his heart, and after understanding, he couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his heart, if this is the case, now in Dali Temple, the people of the Li Party are only afraid that they will be very unscrupulous, they have offended Li Deyu before, and after they go back, they are not looking for a chance to deal with themselves?
Father-in-law Xi took a sip of tea, glanced at Su Wuming with small eyes, and then said with a smile: "Master Su is also a talented person, in addition to announcing the decree today, there is something that the miscellaneous family still wants to reveal to Lord Su." β
Su Wuming was very respectful, and hurriedly said, "Hello father-in-law, please speak!" β
"Dali Temple is directly released, rarely for a year, Master Su, do you know why you have been left out in the cold for so long?"
Su Wuming is not a stupid person, he naturally understands what is going on, there must be someone in the court who doesn't like him, so he tried to prevent him from entering Beijing, although he is free outside and not oppressed by other high-ranking officials, but the officials are outside, after all, they can't be as promising as in the capital.
Although Su Wuming knew, he couldn't say it, and asked respectfully, "I don't know why?" β
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said: "Naturally, Li Deyu doesn't want you to go back to Beijing, the miscellaneous family is waiting for the emperor next to the emperor, and the emperor has wanted to edict you to go back to Kyoto several times but Li Deyu has rejected it, saying that you are young and should have experienced outside, or that there are many suspicious cases outside, and you need to solve them outside, anyway, as long as it is a reason to prevent you from entering Beijing, he will say it, and the miscellaneous family is listening to it, but it is not worth it for Master Su!" β
Su Wuming listened to these words of Gonggong Xi, his expression couldn't help but change, he knew very well that he couldn't return to Beijing because someone was making trouble, but now what did this eunuch mean by saying these words to himself, could it be that Li Deyu felt that the eunuch had too much power and wanted to attack the eunuch, so these eunuchs came to pull allies?
In the current period of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the eunuchs was indeed very large, and they could even decide who would be the emperor, and now this Wuzong and the next emperor Xuanzong both ascended the throne with the support of the eunuchs; Emperor Wuzong also has great talent and strategy in his heart, so he is naturally unwilling to be manipulated by these eunuchs, and it is natural for him to act on these eunuchs after taking power.
In this way, in order to consolidate their position, it is reasonable for these eunuchs to pull allies everywhere, but they are just a small Dali Temple Sizhi, and they can't speak in Dali Temple, where they are qualified to be looked at by these eunuchs?
No, Su Wuming felt that things were by no means so simple, these eunuchs who had mastered the military power of the Shence Army and the Tianwei Army in the court, but they never took anyone seriously, and there was no need for them to win over a small Dali Temple.
Unless, among them, there is another trick, they want to win over themselves, and then win over the other side.
After thinking of these, Su Wuming suddenly thought of Li Xuan, the king of Di, after the case was solved in the palace, the king of Di said to him that he would let the people in the capital find an opportunity to make suggestions to the emperor, and when he returned to Beijing, he would meet someone who would find him and persuade him to submit again.
Thinking of this, everything was clear, it must have been King Di who helped in the capital, and the emperor ordered him to return to Beijing.
It's just that I don't know who the person who spoke for me is, and he can let these eunuchs win over him first because they value that person.
After thinking about it, Su Wuming still asked.
"Father-in-law, this Li Deyu has been organizing his official to return to Beijing, but in the end, why did the emperor agree to return to Beijing?"
Father-in-law Xi's expression was slightly different, but he soon smiled and said, "This Lord Su has a few people to thank." β
"Oh? Please also make it clear to your father-in-law! β
"That's the case, Lord Lu Yanlu, the secretary of the ministry, told the emperor about the deeds you did in the Jianghuai area this year, and proposed that if you don't return to Beijing, it will be a little unreasonable, and the Dali Temple Division went straight out of Beijing to solve the doubtful case, and it has never been more than a year, plus the miscellaneous family helped to say a few more words on the side, and the emperor invited Lord Su to return to Beijing."
The Ministry of Officials is responsible for the assessment, appointment and dismissal of officials, and Lu Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, does have the power to send himself back to Beijing, but I don't know if this Lu Yan was entrusted by King Di to do so, or if he really saw his political achievements before he made a statement to the emperor.
As for the last sentence of Father-in-law, whether it is true or not, it is his words that he wants to win over himself.
After listening to these words of the happy announcement, Su Wuming hurriedly thanked the happy father, and wanted to keep the happy grandfather here for Chinese New Year's Eve, this happy grandfather finally came out and was not in a hurry to go back, so he did not shirk.
When it got dark, Su Wuming ordered someone to put on the lights, and then set off fireworks in the courtyard, those fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another, much more beautiful than the kind outside one at a time, Nangong Yan clapped his hands while watching and called it beautiful, and this happy father-in-law also felt very novel, and praised it again and again.
After the excitement, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Su Wuming and Nangong Yan sat on the bed to keep the New Year, but this New Year's Eve was too boring, so it didn't take long for Nangong Yan to fall asleep, and in the end, only Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er were left, Wen Wan'er looked at Su Wuming and smiled: "Xianggong, we can finally go back to Beijing, but the court doesn't make rewards, it's too much to say." β
Su Wuming smiled: "Lady rest assured, you and I are definitely not in the pool, and we will definitely get ahead." β
"I guess too!"
Wen Wan'er snuggled in Su Wuming's arms and fell asleep, the way she fell asleep was really beautiful, Su Wuming looked at her two ladies and couldn't help sighing, there are many storms in the capital, and it is difficult to cherish it!
If you really go back to Beijing, it may be a good thing or a bad thing!
As I pondered, the midnight bell rang in the streets.
