"Did Xia Yan send those two green words?" , Zhu Houxi, who was listening to the master of ceremonies reciting the recital, seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at the waiter in front of him and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't need to say too much, so the celebrant hurriedly put down the pen in his hand that criticized Zhu Houxi, changed his posture and replied to Zhu Houyi, "Back to Your Majesty, Xia Shoufu's two green words have not been delivered yet..."

"Why hasn't it been delivered yet?" , Zhu Houxi glared at the servant indignantly, with indescribable anger in his heart, "How many times has this been?" It's also procrastinating to let him write a green word..."

Of course, Zhu Houxi was angry, but he didn't say much. Because Xia Yan's green words are really good, this is really a talent, if other ministers really can't write it. To say that Gu Dingchen wrote well before, but he is dead, and in the end, the biggest role in the eyes of the emperor is only to write the green words of the sacrifice to the sky, which is sad enough to think about, but Gu Dingchen wrote happily during his lifetime...

In fact, Yan Song's writing is okay, but I always feel unstable. Sometimes his writing is quite good, comparable to Xia Yan's level, but in most cases it is still worse. After all, worshipping the heavens is a very solemn thing, and if you don't do it, it will delay your becoming an immortal, so you must not be sloppy, a little better.

Who let us "ask for others", so Zhu Houxi still has some tolerance for Xia Yan's occasional "passive neglect".

"Your Majesty, although Xia Shoufu's green words were not sent, but Lord Yan Songyan sent two green words...", the waiter looked at Zhu Houxi's face. Said cautiously.

"Really?" , Zhu Houxi heard this. His face looked a little better, "Take that green word and let me see it..."

In fact, Zhu Houxi has always admired Yan Song. Because he is diligent, honest, and most importantly obedient. Take the matter of writing green words as an example, although Yan Song's writing is not too good, he is very hardworking, has been practicing diligently, writing as much as he wants, this is a mental problem.

It doesn't matter if the qualification is almost, but whether you are willing to work hard is very important, this is the idea of most leaders. Zhu Houxi is no exception. Of course, Zhu Houxi is still a smart person, so he can see things that many people can't see. For example, he knows that Yan Song also has his own little cleverness, or that he is sometimes very slippery, which is not contradictory to being honest, because he treats others very slippery, but he treats himself very honestly, which is enough.

In fact, Zhu Houxi likes his courtiers to be honest and obedient at the same time, but also a little slippery, which is conducive to the balance between the ministers. It also makes me feel more fulfilled: it is better to control a group of smart courtiers to death than to control a group of stupid pigs to death.

At this moment when Zhu Houxi was meditating, the chamberlain had already presented the green words written by Yan Song and carefully handed them to Zhu Houxi.

To be honest, Yan Song's two green words took a lot of effort. Zhu Houxi could see that he felt that these two green words should represent the highest level of Yan Song, although he didn't know that these two green words were actually written by Yan Shifan...

In fact, he wanted to reuse Yan Song. But he always felt that Yan Song still lacked some exercise, and he was not as decisive and powerful as Xia Yan when he did big things. But Yan Song's diligence and obedience really gradually moved Zhu Houxi.

Reason told him that every minister was a pawn and had to come at his own pace. A little bit of development, Yan Song is not qualified now, and Xia Yan still has a place to use, although he hates Xia Yan's hot temper, but Xia Yan's extreme seriousness and dedication to political affairs really make him appreciate, after all, he still wanted to achieve a great cause... What now? Zhu Houxi doesn't know anymore, anyway, the great cause of cultivating and becoming an immortal is the most important...

"Your Majesty, Lord Yan Songyan asks to see..."

"Xuan him in...", Zhu Houxi was in a good mood at this time, and he was also comfortable listening to the name Yan Song.

After the routine salute, Yan Song was shocked by one of Zhu Houxi's actions: he actually wanted to give himself a seat. Flattered, Yan Song naturally maintained his usual rationality: insist on not accepting!

He has not forgotten the purpose of his trip, and he will never give up the purpose of his trip, because he has been preparing for too long... Before finding out Zhu Houxi's idea, he must be careful and careful, Yan Song said to himself secretly in his heart.

"Hmm... This is what a courtier should look like and behave...", Zhu Houxi secretly admired in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the two green words sent by the minister are satisfactory?" After Yan Song kowtowed and thanked him, he could smell the familiar rosemary burning in the hall again. This spice is very precious, and Yan Song also likes to use it, but I don't know if it's because of his age, he always feels a little uncomfortable after using it for a long time.

"Well, I just read it, Aiqing's mind, it's all here, I'm very satisfied." , Zhu Houxi replied with a smile, and at the same time sniffed lightly, in fact, he liked this sweet but not greasy fragrance in the air now.

"I am very happy to be able to satisfy Your Majesty...", in fact, the close attendant who just went to get the green words had already been bought by Yan Song, and he also took a big risk for this, because the will to summon Xia Yan to submit the green words was delivered late by the inner servants under his own hint, and his own green words were prepared early.

He didn't know if his small actions were effective, but as long as he was prepared, he was always at ease, but now he didn't get a definite answer. He didn't want Zhu Houxi's few empty praises for himself, what he really wanted to know Zhu Houxi's attitude towards Xia Yan's late handing over of Qingci. But now it seems that this wishful thinking is about to fail...

In fact, the ministers were often frightened in their hearts, unable to write words that satisfied His Majesty, and even if they practiced diligently in private, they would inevitably show their clumsiness. I only hope that God will have mercy, and Youchen will one day be able to write excellent words like Lord Xia...", it is better to ask for others than for yourself, since Zhu Houxi does not speak, then he can only ask in another way.

"Xia Yan?" , Zhu Houxi glanced at Yan Song inadvertently, but he was reluctant to show too obvious expressions in front of Yan Song, "Xia Yanqingci is well written, but the most important thing is a heart." A heart that is willing to be motivated and compassionate, do you understand this? ”

"Painstaking people. Heaven is not worth it, it seems that the emperor is really dissatisfied with Xia Yan. I can't be blamed for that. Whoever made you Xia Yan have the habit of procrastinating, since this is the case, don't blame me for taking advantage of this loophole! Yan Song thought secretly in his heart, and there was also not much real mood on the surface. It's just that Zhu Houxi is unwilling, but Yan Song is not dare.

"I am willing to always keep a motivated heart, and my heart and brain will be smeared to the ground, so as to win Your Majesty's mercy." and do not show loyalty at this time. When? Although these words may have sounded a little too much to others, Yan Song's true feelings were indeed revealed a little quickly, but Yan Song said it naturally, and Zhu Houxi was happy to hear it.

But others didn't know what painful inner entanglement and struggle Yan Song had experienced at that moment. Hearing that Zhu Houxi was dissatisfied with Xia Yan, he really wanted to use that opportunity to shake out the purpose of his trip smoothly. But he knew that the timing was not enough, because obviously Zhu Houxi's mood fluctuations were not big enough, and this needed to be brewed, not as simple as a slightly agitating person pulling a few idlers into rebellion.

"Hmm. Aiqing's thoughts, it is worth the reward...", Zhu Houxi leaned on the red sandalwood dragon pattern throne, no matter how you look at it. The expression on his face didn't seem to be as happy as the sentence just now.

Yan Song was a little anxious at this time, he didn't expect Zhu Houxi to sit there and look unanxious. His loyalty was finished, but Zhu Houxi seemed unmoved. What can I do? Yan Song didn't know. But the opportunity to continue talking about Xia Yan's topic just now was gone, and Yan Song's eyes rolled. It is necessary to continue the topic immediately.

"Aiqing is here, is there anything wrong?" Zhu Houxi turned his gaze to Yan Song, and glanced to the side by the way, and the attendant on the side willingly added more incense, and cut the candle flame a little.

"Huh?" , Yan Song's mind was excited, and he hesitated again. Do you want to say it now? I was looking forward to this opportunity just now, but when the opportunity came, Yan Song was not as determined as Fang Cai, sometimes people are so contradictory...

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report to Your Majesty...", Yan Song still chose a more secure way, he can't say it directly, he has to go step by step, this conservative character sometimes really doesn't know whether it's a blessing or a curse...

"Your Majesty, the Northwest Military News is coming, it's Zhai Peng's urgent letter...", Yan Song felt that this matter would definitely involve Xia Yan, and it was a better way to fight Xia Yan, he admired that he had come up with such a good way in a panic. This was not designed by himself in advance, but Yan Song felt that this method was better than what he had conceived before.

"Zhai Peng's urgent letter?" , Zhu Houxi narrowed his eyes, and began to think in his heart.

He knew that Zhai Peng was a good minister and very capable, but he always couldn't guess his thoughts. This is not good, I need some capable ministers, but the premise is that they must be smart enough, a big manifestation of this cleverness is to be able to find out their own minds, and not to disobey their own will, but Zhai Peng is obviously not this kind of smart person.

Although Zhu Houyu should like him and trust him rationally, Zhu Houyu removed him from his post, and he wanted Zhai Peng to teach him a lesson and let him understand how important it is to be obedient.

Last year, he recalled him to the imperial court, and entrusted him with the important task of rectifying the military affairs of Jifu, Shanxi and Henan, and even handed over the food and salary to him to manage.

This is called the combination of grace and power, Zhu Houxi thinks that he will use this carrot and stick method to make Zhai Peng smarter, become able to figure out his own mind, and become dead set on himself. He had made Xia Yanzhishi like this twice before, and even Zhang Fujing before and Yan Song in front of him, he had used this method.

The courtiers he wanted to reuse had to go through this kind of step, because it was important to make them obedient. Facts have proved that this method is indeed very effective, the unruly Zhang Fujing and the irascible Xia Yan, they all cherish their opportunities to be reused after returning to the imperial court, at least they have to be honest for a long time.

In fact, the same is true of Zhai Peng, after coming back, Zhai Peng behaved very well, so he promoted him to the right attendant of the military department, and the former Xuanda Governor Huang Jizu was also dismissed by himself, so that Zhai Peng was not constrained in border affairs and could better play his role.

These ministers are all cheap, and they have to be rectified before they are honest, this is the idea that Zhu Houxi has buried deep in his heart, but he can't say it clearly, he doesn't want his courtiers to chill their hearts.

"What did Zhai Peng's urgent letter say?" , Zhu Houxi turned his head and asked the attendant next to him, that is, he asked him to rummage through Zhai Peng's urgent letter in those movements.

Of course, at the same time as Zhu Houxi gave this order, the newly promoted celebrant in front of him was also going to be unlucky. He didn't put the urgent letter from Zhai Luan on it for him to approve in advance, he was simply a damn ignorant, how could such an ignorant person serve in front of him?

Of course, to punish him, at least wait until he takes the urgent letter, and then he can do what he should do before he dies! All of you will serve me well, and when your dead body turns to ashes, you will fertilize me. In this empire, only oneself deserves to live with dignity, this is the truest thought in Zhu Houxi's heart! (To be continued.) )
