Chapter 139: Good Omen
Chapter 139: Good Omen
When Fang Xie arrived at Changchun Garden, he was startled by the scene he saw in front of him. He really didn't expect that he would have such a courtesy one day, so that he was dizzy and even walked a little abnormal. As a person who did not belong to this era, it took Fang Xie a long time to adapt to the supremacy of imperial power. For the respect of the emperor, he was lower than all the Sui people. But at this moment, Fang Xie suddenly felt that being a Sui person in this world didn't seem to be a bad thing.
In front of the gate of the dome, the emperor who knew that the Dao Fang had arrived actually went out and stood at the door waiting for him. This alone shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. In the entire imperial court, there seem to be few people who can let His Majesty go out to greet him personally. When Yu Manlou, the general guarding the eastern frontier, was transferred back to Beijing, His Majesty personally greeted him out of the room. When Luo Yao, the general guarding southern Xinjiang, entered Beijing to report on his work, His Majesty stood at the gate of the Taiji Hall and waited for him.
Other than that, no one seems to have had such an honor in eleven years.
So Fang Xie was in a trance, and he was living in a TV series.
This kind of wonderful feeling may be the only one in the world that he has.
"The ministers are relieved, and I will see Your Majesty."
Seeing that he was a little distracted, the little eunuch Mu San reminded him behind his back. Fang Xie then remembered that he couldn't stand stupidly, and saluted in a proper manner. Mu San kept pursing his lips and smiling, as if he was very happy for Fang Jie. But he was even more happy for himself, because he found that he had bet on the right treasure on his first attempt to befriend someone outside the palace. Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the second of the nine outstanding candidates of the Martial Arts Academy, the future is immeasurable!
What could be more pleasing to a eunuch than to have a strong friend outside?
Except, of course, being appreciated by His Majesty.
So Mu San was very happy, happy that he had a good relationship with Fang Xie in advance. If you wait until now and then explain the other party, it will inevitably make people feel a little stuttering.
The emperor took two quick steps and personally leaned over in front of the civil and military officials to help Fang Xie up. He carefully looked at Fang Xie a few times, and said with a smile: "I said, you are one of the few young people I have seen in the past few years that make me feel not tacky. It's just that I didn't even expect you to do so well! ”
"Good"
"Good"
"Good!"
The emperor said three good words in a row, and his face was full of smiles: "Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, only when the ancestor Taizong was in power, the great general Li Xiao has created nine excellent results, and he has never lost a single defeat in hundreds of battles since he completed his studies in the martial arts academy. During the reign of Taizong, the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty was almost doubled! The entire Jiangnan was sent by Taizong to Li Xiao. Right now...... I also have my own Li Xiao, a good sign! Good sign! ”
His Majesty seemed to be a little too happy, first saying good three times in a row, and then saying good signs twice in a row.
Everyone knows that the five excellent liberal arts courses are rewarded by His Majesty, and compared with Li Xiao's real skills, they are more than a step behind. But if you really want to talk about it, Fang Xie presented pinyin annotation to His Majesty and the small character method of arithmetic, these two things had a far-reaching impact on the Great Sui. I don't know how many schoolchildren in Ludao will benefit from these two things. Even, because of the implementation of the arithmetic small character method, Da Sui can leap to a new level in arithmetic!
Therefore, it seems that the reward for the five excellent liberal arts subjects is not too heavy.
And Wuke is excellent in all four subjects, this is what Fang Xie has to fight with his ability. So those who were waiting to see the jokes had to shut up, where the results were, there was no point in saying anything, and forcibly saying it was just a sour smell to make people laugh. And when it comes to the three words of good omen, and then thinking about what His Majesty said before, many people have vaguely guessed something.
It is true that the general Li Xiao won nine excellent courses when he entered the examination of the Martial Arts Academy, and he was not defeated in a hundred battles after he left the Martial Arts Academy. Because there was a Li Xiao during the Taizong period, it is not false that the foundation of the Great Sui is as stable as a mountain and continues to expand its territory. If that's the case, Fang Xie is indeed a good sign for His Majesty.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
The emperor took Fang Jie's hand and said with a smile as he walked: "You all have to look carefully, this young man is the first candidate in the Great Sui in the past hundred years who can win nine excellent exams." Remember the name, remember the face. I am rich in the world and sit on the four seas, but I am even more happy because today the Great Sui has come up with a solution! ”
Fang Jie, who was in a semi-dizzy state, did not forget to cooperate with the emperor's speech, and immediately stood up straight and gave the emperor a standard Great Sui military salute.
"The minister is proud to be a citizen of the Great Sui!"
"It's a good sentence to be proud to be a citizen of the Great Sui!"
The emperor couldn't help but say with some excitement: "If the people of the Great Sui are all like this, who else in this world dares to stop my Great Sui majesty?" Don't you dare to bow down to me?! ”
When this sentence was said, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
But soon, a voice of praise for virtue began to spread. Fang Xie stood beside the emperor and felt the emperor's feelings. He suddenly felt that being an emperor should enjoy this kind of praise and praise. Of course, first of all, you must have the strength to be praised by others.
Fang Xie knew that the emperor was a little impatient.
……
……
"Your Majesty is a little out of shape today......"
At the ceremony of welcoming Fang Xie like a hero, Dugu Yin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, lowered his head sideways and whispered to Pei Yan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who was standing beside him.
He had never seen His Majesty so excited. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has always been as indifferent as water. He had never seen His Majesty grin when he was happy, and scold when he was angry. Even if Jiang Duqiu made such a big move against the case many years ago, His Majesty didn't even show anything.
When the rebellious recital of the Qiu family was handed over, His Majesty just said lightly after reading it, not to doubt the heroes. And when the imperial army washed the Jiangdu family with thunder, His Majesty only lightly said that it should be investigated, and what should be killed should be killed.
And today, His Majesty does seem to be a little out of shape.
Fang Xie won nine excellent results, which is indeed worth being happy about. After all, there is only one such character in a hundred years. And what made His Majesty even happier was naturally the good omen he said before. Taizu founded the country, and Taizong opened the territory. Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, no emperor has ever surpassed Taizong's exploits. During the reign of Taizong, there is no doubt that the Great Sui became the first power in the Central Plains.
The Huangmen squire pursed his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is just rare to be so happy, it is not a gaffe. It's a pity that this solution is not from my house. ”
"So sour"
Duguyin said with a smile: "Master Pei has a son Pei Dingcheng, and he is not satisfied?" If I had a son who had won seven distinctions, I would have been smiling from ear to ear. Although it is slightly inferior to Fang Xie by half a point, it is also a rare good result in a hundred years. ”
"Seven Gates...... It's not Jiumen, now at this time, it's worth rejoicing? ”
Pei Yan shook his head, looked at the young man who was a little overwhelmed by His Majesty, and said helplessly: "Thousands of children of the family are no better than a humble pawn. ”
"Li Xiao used to be just a pawn."
Duguyin said with a smile.
There is a pun on what he said, Pei Yan understood. He snorted and said, "The biggest advantage of being from a poor family is that when Your Majesty needs a model, he will never choose from the children of the family. And the biggest disadvantage of being from a poor family is that it won't be long before he doesn't belong to a cold family. ”
Dugu Yin smiled and nodded: "But Your Majesty has held up Fang Xie like this, and some people who want to get rid of him secretly don't know if they dare to move this thought." ”
"Whoever dares to move, who is an idiot."
Pei Yan said: "When Li Xiao won the Nine Doors Excellence, how many people were not convinced? How many people did Emperor Taizong kill for this example? When nostalgic for the champion, how many people are not convinced? How many people did Emperor Zhenzong kill for this example? Now His Majesty has also set up an example, and it depends on who is stupid if he doesn't open his eyes. Some people will always be self-righteous and think that they can turn the clouds inside and outside the court...... You have to suffer losses before you can remember it for a long time. ”
"It seems...... The rumors of the use of foreign troops are true. ”
Duguyin sighed: "Your Majesty has made such a big scene, I don't want to hide it anymore." ”
He changed the subject and stopped talking about the teenager named Fang Jie.
"Good sign......
The corners of Pei Yan's mouth were picked, looking at the young man's eyes without any hostility, but he didn't have any good feelings. Dugu Yin turned around, not letting Pei Yan see the faint disappointment and a little anger in his eyes.
And when he turned around, Pei Yan also looked at him coldly.
It seems like an ordinary chat, but what is actually that simple?
One wanted to tease the other's dissatisfaction and unwillingness, and the person who was teased quietly scolded the person who played with right and wrong. It's just that both of them are uncomfortable.
……
……
His Majesty took Fang Jie's hand and entered the vault, and the adults standing outside immediately dispersed. The short but warm welcome ceremony was announced, and everyone's hearts were more or less uneasy. As they left, they walked in twos and threes, all talking about one thing in a low voice.
That's a foreign war.
His Majesty has put on this posture today, in fact, the intention of starting a war with a foreign country is already obvious. The adults who can stand outside the dome today are not a single idiot and fool, and it is their specialty to observe words and looks. And at this time, people suddenly realized what His Majesty had taken down the military department waiter Hou Junci and the military department Shangshu Pei Donglai one after another a while ago. Those two people were against rash foreign war, which was not in line with His Majesty's thoughts.
It also dawned on him that His Majesty would use Erliangchen, who had been imprisoned in prison for nearly 12 years. When it comes to the use of soldiers, Hou Junci and Pei Donglai are indeed inferior to the good and good tigers of the Sect.
However, few people thought that the emperor had been mobilizing people a long time ago. Not to mention, the emperor handed over a large amount of grain and grass to Wu Yi's goods to be transported to the northwest. No one noticed that Yang Kai, the king of Xujun, was missing from the welcome ceremony today.
In the crowd, Huai Qiugong and Prince Yi Yang Yin glanced at each other. The latter smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, this is indeed a good sign." ”
"It's ...... to Your Majesty"
Huai Qiugong smiled and said, "To that young man, I don't know if it's Lu Dao." ”
"It's done for His Majesty, doesn't it make sense to him?"
Prince Yi asked.
Huai Qiugong shook his head and walked slowly to the door.
And Zhou Banchuan, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, who walked behind His Majesty and followed into the vault, looked at the young man's sight, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, but he was full of expectation.
The two elders of the court reacted differently.
