Chapter 118: The Wisdom of the Great Eunuch and the Wisdom of the Little Eunuch
The five exams in the liberal arts will not end until sunset at least, and His Majesty the Emperor will not have time to sit on the podium for a day. After the examiners handed out the papers, the emperor stayed for a while and left. Luo Weiran followed closely with the Ouchi guards, but there was no doubt that the closest person to the emperor was always the eunuch named Su Buxing.
Before the death of the original Bingbi eunuch Wu Xiangsheng, no one had paid attention to this eunuch named Su Buxing. Soon after Wu Xiangsheng's death, he went from an obscure eunuch to the most powerful eunuch in the palace. Although it is only an official position from the sixth grade, no one can deny that the clothes on his body from the sixth rank are not inferior to the purple official uniforms of the third and fourth rank officials in the court.
The emperor's close attendants often had a greater influence on the emperor than the court officials.
The main thing is that he knows the emperor better than everyone else.
Luo Weiran walked behind, and involuntarily looked at the eunuch who leaned forward slightly even when he walked. Even he, as the commander of the Ouchi Guard, didn't pay much attention to this eunuch before. What made him a little helpless and vigilant was that he didn't know anything about the strength of this eunuch.
However, since His Majesty chose him to be the eunuch of Bingbi, it proves that this person is by no means a wine bag and rice bag. Luo Weiran was not so wary of Wu Xiangsheng, because he knew Wu Xiangsheng. Even if it was a very rare talisman with seventh-grade strength, he still couldn't pose any threat in front of a person like him. Su is not afraid of differences, does not know the depths, does not know the details...... Perhaps except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one knows anything about this guy.
"Let Fang Xie go directly to Changchun Garden, I still have a lot of things to deal with."
The emperor gave an order, and Su Buwei hurriedly agreed and then sent the little eunuch to deliver the decree. When Luo Weiran heard the name Fang Jie, she couldn't help but pick the corners of her mouth. In the short days that the young man entered Chang'an City, he became a figure on the cusp. His experience is so peculiar that I really don't know whether Lu Dao should say that he is unlucky or unlucky. After all, a small person like him in the past few days is enough to make many people jealous of his majesty to think about it from time to time.
How many officials and dignitaries, except for the time when they were in the last dynasty, they could take a look at His Majesty the Emperor from a distance, and they never had the opportunity to get close to the Supreme at other times? Even if they waited for the last court meeting on the sixth or ninth day, His Majesty the Emperor might not necessarily look at them, and he might not be able to remember them at all.
And Fang Jie, a scout from the border city, was able to be summoned into the Changchun Garden Dome twice in such a short period of time, which was enviable no matter what.
The emperor's car left the Yanwu Academy in a very low-key manner, and those adults such as Shangshu Shilang also had to return to their respective ministries and yamen to do things. However, several university scholars stayed behind and waited for the end of the five liberal arts exams. Because several of them are honorary professors of the Academy of Martial Arts, they can't leave easily on a big day like today. After the exam, they also have to read the papers with the professors of the Performing Arts Academy.
When Fang Xie received the order, the emperor's car had already left the gate of the Yanwu Academy. None of the people who had been watching outside the gate would have guessed that they were sitting in the ordinary-looking carriage that had just driven out of the Martial Arts Academy. And at this time, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly changed his mind.
"Let Fang Xie catch up, and I will meet him in the carriage."
Su was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he reminded softly: "Boarding the carriage under His Majesty, isn't such an honor a bit early for him?" After all, his status is too low now, and if his honor is too great, it may not be of much benefit to him. ”
The emperor smiled and said, "It's because your eyes are so poisonous!" ”
Su Buxing lowered his head and smiled: "The slave just saw that His Majesty had a little love for that young man, so he would have more words." He is just a border soldier with little experience and no foundation, and Chang'an City is ...... for him It's too big. ”
"It's ...... anyway"
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Just as you said, although Fang Xie is from a humble background, he is the most interesting young man I have seen in the past few years. Compared with him, those young talents who were born with fame seem too impetuous. Just now, you also secretly went to see the little trap laid by Prince Yi, and your reaction to him was full of praise. I am about to use troops against the northwest, but I am afraid that this is the biggest war since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty...... At this time, I must set an example for those poor children to see, as long as they have talent and learning, they can be appreciated by me. When they have hope in their hearts, they will do their best to do their best, and they will fight for ......"
The emperor paused and continued: "Su Buxing, do you know the origin of Lu Dao Huaiqiu Gong? ”
Su Buxing replied: "The slave and maid know the way, Huai Lao was born in a poor family but is on the rise, and now he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he has the demeanor of a civil leader, that is, the two adults on the left and right are talking about prestige, but I am afraid that they are slightly inferior to Huai Lao." ”
The emperor nodded and said, "When my grandfather carried out the imperial examination, he faced not only the obstacles of those families, but also the distrust of the children of the poor family. In the past, the court officials were all selected from the family, and the descendants of the officials were still promoted. For the imperial court, this was never a good thing. In the long run, the government will be dominated by those families with intricate relationships. That's why my grandfather was determined to carry out the imperial examination and take scholars from the poor......"
However, the people did not seem to believe that the imperial examination could really turn a person of humble origin into a nobleman. So my grandfather decided to erect a model for the people to see, the imperial examination is not a joke, let alone a show. Huai Qiugong is that lucky person, and now that he has gone through three dynasties, he is still that model. ”
The Emperor smiled faintly, and said in a very light but confident tone, "My grandfather can erect a model, and of course I can. Only by making the people firmly believe that the court is fair and just, then the foundation of the Great Sui will last forever. Such a model should be one from time to time, not just one...... Fang Xie is indeed still very young, and he really lacks the foundation of experience, so I will send him to the Yanwu Academy instead of Wenyuan Pavilion Shuhua Pavilion, and I am also worried about ...... He entered the court early and was killed early. ”
……
……
The emperor seemed to be very talkative, and after taking a sip of tea, he said to Su Buxing: "Enter the Martial Arts Academy, let him practice more and learn more, if Chang'an City is a melting pot, all those who are not suitable for this temperature can be eliminated." Then the Yanwu Academy is another melting pot in this melting pot, which can not only train people, but also protect people. ”
Su nodded fearlessly, not daring to interject.
The emperor said: "He is still young, although I like this little guy, but not to the point where I will promote him at all costs, as you said before, this time to give him too much glory, but to harm him." I'm going to train him, three, five, even ten years, and then get him up. Twenty years later, he will be the next Huaiqiu Gong in Chang'an City. Huai Qiugong has lived old enough, he will not live for twenty years, and before the people forget his model, the model that I have set up will be talked about by the people again. ”
"Your Majesty has a far-sighted plan, and the slave maid can't imagine what will happen so long later. The slave just felt that this young man was really pleasing, so he should press it or press it, and if he got up too early, he would fall very painfully. ”
"Ha Lu Ha"
The emperor smiled, pointed at Su Buxing and said, "If you are not a eunuch, you can enter the door and read the book." ”
Su Buwei hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The slave is just thinking about your thoughts, how can you be worthy of such praise from Your Majesty." ”
"Sue is not afraid of ......"
The emperor pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "You see that people and things are poisonous in your eyes, so I ask you...... Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji, what do you think? Prince Yi ...... What do you think? ”
"Slave maid...... Don't dare to have an opinion. ”
Su Bu was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said forgiveness: "Your Majesty, spare the slaves and maids, Taizu strictly ordered the harem not to interfere in politics, and even if the slaves and maids have a hundred guts, they don't dare to comment on the court officials, let alone His Royal Highness." ”
"You don't have to be so cautious."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Just accompany me to chat and relieve boredom, this is not any interference in the government, I just ask you what you think of them, but it doesn't hurt." ”
"Slave ......"
Su Buwei hesitated for a while, and then replied cautiously: "It seems that the slave maid, Commander Luo and Hou Zhenfu are both loyal to His Majesty, and the two of them are like His Majesty's hands, holding the two sharpest knives of the Great Inner Guard and the Qing Ya, wherever His Majesty thinks of it, their knives will point...... As for Prince Yi, the slave really didn't understand it, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense. ”
"That's not what I want to hear."
The emperor glared at Su Buxing and asked, "I asked more directly, do you think, Luo Weiran or Hou Wenji, who is more loyal to me?" ”
Su Buwei raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head and said, "The slave feels that the two adults are equally loyal to His Majesty...... It's just that maybe it's thinking about something different, so it looks a little different. However, this should have nothing to do with the two of them's loyalty to His Majesty. ”
"You!"
The emperor smiled helplessly: "Let you tell the truth, but you are still only willing to talk about the scene." I don't ask anymore, you don't even dare to comment on the two of them, how dare you say Prince Yi. ”
Su Buwei thought for a while and said: "The slave doesn't need to have her own thoughts, whatever your majesty thinks, the slave and maid think." Just like the Luo Commander and the Hou Zhen Fu Envoy, wherever His Majesty's finger goes, the slave and maid will run to. ”
The emperor was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "You are different from them, I can say these things to you, but I can't say these things to them, you should know that I have people around me who can relax and chat casually...... Not much. ”
Su Bu's eyes were red, and he bowed deeply: "Slave and maid Xie Majesty Longen." ”
Chang'an does not have a rule that prohibits riding horses and shopping, but it does not allow horses to gallop. Therefore, although Fang Xie was a little anxious, he didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and he didn't have to deliberately pretend to be high-profile after leaving the gate of the Martial Arts Academy. On the way to Changchun Garden, he had been controlling the speed of the red horse, trotting, and it seemed that he had no intention of flying and domineering.
Fang Xie didn't want to be accused of any crime, Chang'an City was indeed too big for him. Who knows if an inadvertent mistake will become a reason why he will never be able to turn over?
By the time he arrived at Changchun Garden, the sun had already set slightly west, and Fang Jie, who had not eaten lunch, made a slight protest in his stomach. But Fang Xie still had time to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple, and followed the little eunuch who passed the decree directly into this royal garden. After entering, the red horse was handed over to the guards. He followed the little eunuch step by step, not moving fast and always maintaining the same distance.
When he walked to the outside of the dome, the little eunuch stood still, turned around and smiled at the other party: "Our family can only take you here, and our family can't go in casually." ”
"Thank you"
Fang Xie took out a silver ticket from his cuff and wanted to stuff it into the little eunuch, but he didn't expect the little eunuch to wave his hand and take a step back: "Our family doesn't have the guts, our family doesn't want to taste the sticks of Zongsifang." If you think that our family is still of some use, we will make friends with you. Our family's name is Miki, just remember our family's name. ”
Fang Xie couldn't help but praise in his heart, and said in his heart that this little eunuch is scheming and has good means!
"I remember, my father-in-law's name is Mu San. Father-in-law can also remember that your friend's name is Fang Jie. ”
Fang Xie nodded and hugged his fists in thanks.
The little eunuch Mu San smiled, returned the salute and turned to leave. Fang Xie looked at his back, thinking in his heart that even a little eunuch had such a bearing, eyesight and means, and the water in Chang'an City was really too deep. He refused to accept his silver ticket because he knew that the benefits of taking this one hundred taels of silver were far less beneficial than letting a small person who was very likely to become a big man remember him. Who knows what the future holds? Who doesn't think about the future?
Wood three
Fang Xie also remembered the name, a little eunuch who also didn't forget that he should climb up. Such people are often useful.
