Chapter 31: Is Your Uncle Chai Shaoxing?
Whoever chooses or who doesn't choose, no one can put their hearts in the middle and speak.
Fang Xuanling can't, Wei Zheng can't look at his mouth full of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, he can't either. Fang Xuanling hopes to be able to nominate a few from the old guys, but there is one thing that cannot be avoided, everyone who is familiar with Fang Xuanling has something to do with Li Shimin. Wei Zheng's problem is the same as Fang Xuanling's, Li Jiancheng's subordinates, I think that the Tiance Mansion is full of talents compared to Li Shimin, but they are not all straw bales, and it is still a matter of finding a few shrewd and capable people.
The Cabinet is a great place to be! Promotions are all about seniority, and you have to move forward little by little. In less than ten or eight years, do you want to go to Chang'an and go straight to the court? It's a dream, something you wouldn't dream of in a dream. But the cabinet is just a yamen set up by the emperor, and the emperor said that whoever can do it can go. Isn't this good, there is nothing in the world like this, and it is a step to the sky.
Li Chengzong knew that they were selfish, so he used the excuse to ask and test them. However, everyone's mouths are quite strict, and neither of them speaks, it seems that they are afraid of their own suspicions, and the gains outweigh the losses. A bunch of human spirits under his hands are also not good, and the general second-class carving insect skills are not much different from useless.
Just when Li Chengzong took a few mouthfuls of food, the five members of the cabinet ate with him. There was a rush downstairs, smashing dishes and bowls, and Ding Ling's banging sound was non-stop. It seems that there is a fight, and this formation is not small.
"Check it out." Li Chengzong said casually, and just finished speaking. Before Zhu Bajie turned around to open the door, Yin Qiu arrived outside the door in a hurry.
Through the door, Yin Qiu said, "Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang is here, and she is downstairs!"
"Crazy? Isn't this too fast, Cui Dunli doesn't seem to be loyal and honest! When the front foot goes out of the palace, the back foot dares to sue me. When he comes back from Lingnan, let's see if I don't clean him up. Li Chengzong said unhurriedly, his words were very hard and his tone was very light, as if he was saying a joke.
"Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, you guys get out of here." Princess Pingyang downstairs never came to look for Li Chengzong at first, and she didn't know that Li Chengzong was here. Coincidentally, Cui Dunli did not sue Princess Pingyang, but just told Princess Pingyang that there was an imminent shortage of people in Princess Pingyang's cabinet. None of them are stupid, and the five members of the cabinet will not leak this news without the emperor's permission. Even with the emperor's permission, they shouldn't say it, why do they say it? said that he only told himself a group of people, and while everyone was still confused, he carried his own people up.
However, Cui Dunli's intention was to let Princess Pingyang spill her anger on the heads of the five cabinet members, saying that if you don't want to go to Lingnan, send the people I recommended over. It is obvious that he will not give face to Princess Pingyang, and he is jealous and jealous, and he wishes to squeeze out all the abilities of Chang'an. In the end, he coerced the cabinet of five people to jointly sign Bao Chai Shao to take the position.
Princess Pingyang didn't take it to heart at first, she didn't want to do this kind of shrew-like behavior. But I couldn't stand Chai Shao's soft grinding and hard bubbles on the side, so I had to send a rush. When I looked at it, I realized that the situation was not quite right, and the person downstairs was Yin Qiu. Since Yin Qiu is here, the shadow of the emperor is indispensable within a hundred steps. When Princess Pingyang thought about this, instead of looking for trouble with the five members of the cabinet, it was better to find trouble with Li Chengzong. Moreover, Princess Pingyang also wanted to take this opportunity to test what kind of attitude this emperor Li Chengzong had towards her. Whether to give himself three points of face, or to refute it directly, as long as it should be ordered, at least Li Chengzong still values himself as an aunt, on the other hand, everything is difficult to say.
"Please come up to Princess Pingyang!" Li Chengzong said.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, should I avoid it first?"
"Let's go! If you stay here, you won't dare to say a word for me. ”
Speak for you? Who is the one who is going to come up? is the famous and murderous princess of Pingyang, not a cat or a dog. You are sometimes polite to her, let us go up and touch her brow, and find her unhappy, isn't this trapping us in a catastrophe!
"The ministers are leaving." l After finishing the words in his heart, several people were about to slip away.
"Xu Jingzong, don't forget to settle the bill, you will also pay for the fall downstairs!" Li Chengzong muttered.
Xu Jingzong was busy running, and when he heard this, he was obviously two steps slower, and he caught up with a few people while agreeing.
"Where are you going?" Li Xiuning asked when he saw that a few people were panicking and fleeing.
"Meet Princess Pingyang." The staircase was not wide, and it was even more crowded with people. I don't know which one is not human, and suddenly with a force, since Gollum fell, the most unlucky person in front of him was Fang Xuanling.
Li Xiuning dodged quickly, and he didn't have the intention of talking nonsense with these people, so he turned his head and went upstairs.
Fang Xuanling grabbed Wei Zheng's clothes, got up in disappointment, and said, "It's not you, I know it must be you."
Wei Zheng covered his head and said, "It hurts me to death, I'm going to go back to see Lang Zhong quickly, it hurts me to death."
"It's worthy of Wei Zheng! It is indeed great wisdom. Du Ruhui hugged Fang Xuanling and said in a low voice.
"Let's go slowly, borrow some money!" Xu Jingzong stopped the three and said.
"What do you say? If you invite us to dinner, do you want us to spend money?" Ma Zhou was furious. Don't look at everyone else, but Ma Zhou is not as good as them, his roots are very thin, and he is the poorest.
Xu Jingzong cried and said: "I have the money to settle the bill, but I don't have the money to compensate for the smashed!" As soon as Princess Pingyang came, the people in the restaurant were immediately scared away. Breaking a plate or cracking a bowl is a lot of money. ”
Fang Xuanling smiled: "Are you stupid when we are?" Tomorrow you will be gone, where will the money go? Don't worry about him, let's go ours. ”
"Don't go, don't go!" It was useless for Xu Jingzong to shout.
Upstairs, it's quiet.
After a while, Li Chengzong put down his chopsticks before saying to Li Xiuning, who was sitting in front of him: "Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it directly." Is it that villain Cui Dunli fiddling with right and wrong and making you angry? You said yes, I immediately dragged him out and cut him down, and sent someone to bury his body in the barren mountains of Lingnan, and I asked his family to worship and find no place to pay respects. ”
"A little Cui Dunli can still make His Majesty upset. However, the cabinet has lost two people, has Your Majesty had any plans?"
"Alas! It's still this letter from Cui Dunli, this person's mouth is too loose. Li Chengzong regretted that he had caused trouble by talking so much at the beginning.
"Auntie, I just want to ask, can your uncle Chai Shao enter the cabinet?" Li Xiuning asked slowly.
"Yes! Why not. It's just that this cabinet looks quite frightening with bells and whistles, but the real power is here. It's also very easy to offend people, and if you're not careful, you'll be hated by others, would my uncle be willing to do that?" Li Chengzong told the truth, but he couldn't scare Li Xiuning.
"Your Majesty is not worried, as long as Your Majesty is willing to nod, your uncle Chai Shao will dare to pull his legs into the door of the cabinet." Li Xiuning replied.
"Very good, my uncle has this heart, and I will fulfill him." Li Chengzong said. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
