Chapter 355: Drink and Talk
He said it tactfully enough, and the saint was still angry, it shouldn't be. He is indeed a wise man, and he will not be furious because of a few innocuous words.
Willow Leaf crouched on the ground and thought to herself, and replied; "Wechen don't dare, Wechen is guilty, please punish Your Majesty."
The Son of Heaven is Chrysostom, and Wuzong is just trying to test Liu Ye's adaptability. He changed the topic and got back to business, and said to Liu Ye: "Liu Aiqing, I just take this as a warning, and I hope that Liu Aiqing will not have many scruples in the future, and will not be able to speak freely in front of me." I am willing to listen to the most direct and honest opinions and suggestions. Aiqing got up to speak. β
Liu Ye got up and replied, "Weichen respectfully obeys the holy will. β
"Takakura, pass the meal, I want to have a drink with Liu Shilang." Wu Zong's topic changed again, turning to pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
Liu Ye is convinced, the Son of Heaven's thinking changes too fast, his face changes quickly, and he still spoke violently just now.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Willow fell to the ground again.
"Liu Shilang, you and I are talking in the dormitory, you take it easy, you always kneel around like this, I look tired."
Wu Zong wants to see how you are such a dignified and dashing person, but it looks boring.
"Wechen obeys." Willow Ye replied.
Takakura went to the imperial dining room to pass the meal, and soon the palace maids put the agate jade tableware on the table in an endless stream.
He and Zhou Yu accompanied the emperor to have breakfast, and he didn't think there was anything excessive about breakfast. Dinner was a bit exaggerated.
At least in Liu Ye's cognition, the saint's last meal was at least enough for their family to eat a feast.
Longjing shrimp, West Lake vinegar fish, called flower boy chicken, honey fire partyΒ·Β·Β· Thirty-six dishes. One person served thirty-six dishes, plus two of him.
The chefs in the imperial dining room are really good, there are so many kinds of dishes in a meal, it can't always be these things, how many cuisines and dishes the chef has to know. Admire, the chef is also a master of cooking skills.
Liu Ye looked at the dazzling array of dishes, thinking that he would be full with two chopsticks between each dish.
Takakura picked up a silver needle and checked it one dish after another. Go through everything, "Your Majesty, please eat." β
The willow leaves eat elegantly with a straight posture. The palace maid is serving the dishes on the left and right, and pouring wine. Liu Ye raised his glass with both hands, "Your Majesty, Weichen wishes Your Majesty a blessed life." β
This courtier of his was young, strong in martial arts, quite talented, quick in thinking, and elegant in bearing.
Wu Zong drank all the wine in the cup, "Liu Shilang, I observe Aiqing's words and deeds, and his character is talented, and he is the best among the young heroes of the Tang Dynasty. Aiqing entered the career with military merits, according to my opinion, Aiqing Ling Zunding is not an unknown person in the Tang Dynasty. β
The family background is a secret that Liu Ye wants to avoid as much as possible. Jiang Yao forged an identity for him, even if he forged an identity, no one jumped out of the cracks in the stones, and there were always parents and relatives. Love Me eBook
In general, the people around you, friends, colleagues, colleagues, if you don't want to talk about this topic, no one will hold on to it. Some people want to get to the bottom of it, and it's a big deal to make up lies and prevaricate the past.
The Nine Five-Year Venerable asked this question with a good look, and Liu Ye hesitated for a while. The sin of deceitful kings is to lose one's head. And from the day he entered the barracks, he had already hidden the hidden danger of defrauding the king.
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen and his mother have been dependent on each other since childhood, and he was literate in the private school in the township when he was a child, and his mother died later. Wechen left his hometown to go out on a study tour, and these years of study tours have allowed Wechen to get experience. β
Liu Ye didn't mention his father in a word, and he was vague about his life experience.
The Ninety-Five Venerable opened Chrysostom to ask about his family background, which was a glorious thing for the family, but Liu Ye deliberately avoided it. Takakura listened with doubts on the sidelines.
Wu Zong stopped the topic and asked instead: "Liu Aiqing, at the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I wanted to vigorously rectify the officials. Under the cooperation and auspices of the prime minister, the construction of the ranks of officials has achieved results. But freezing three feet is not a day's cold. The problem of corruption and fraud among officials cannot be eliminated, what is Aiqing's opinion on this issue? β
Liu Ye pondered for a moment and said: "It has not been a long time for Weichen to be transferred back to the imperial court from the border defense, and he has not been to the state and county officialdom to experience the actual operation of officials. However, from the perspective of Wechen's superficial understanding, Wechen thought that the corruption of officials and the bloated officials would lead to poor government decrees and increase the tax burden of the people. If the people are not able to live and work in peace and contentment, the foundation of the regime will be shaken. Emperor Taizong has a clear saying that the people can carry the boat and also capsize the boat. β
Wu Zong sighed and said: "Wenzong deceived Li Xun, Zheng Zhu and others, formed a party to buy and sell officials, the dynasty was sluggish, and they occupied official positions ***** did nothing. Since I ascended the throne, I have personally presided over the palace examination and selected talents. Datang is not without talents, I am worried that there are talents, but the pearl is covered with dust and cannot be used to the fullest. However, those who are mediocre occupy official positions, and I have the intention to send Qin messengers to inspect various states and counties. β
Liu Ye looked at Wu Zong intently with a pair of bright eyes, and was stared at by those starry eyes, Wu Zong was distracted as he spoke. What would it be like if these eyes were on a woman's face?
"Your Majesty, in order to create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty has made every effort to pay tribute to Your Majesty." Willow raised her glass.
"I, send Aiqing to accompany Yushi Zhongcheng to the state and county to inspect the performance of officials."
Liu Ye promised loudly, "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go." β
The two of them talked about state affairs, and drank a pot of wine unconsciously. The palace maid brought another pot of wine.
Wu Zong was full of interest and had a good conversation with Liu Shilang.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is not strong enough to drink." Liu Ye said bluntly.
Gao Cang gave Liu Ye a look on the side, the Holy Dragon Heart is happy, don't you spoil the fun?
"It's not an exaggeration for a manly husband to get a hangover once in a while. I also wanted to find out how I felt when I drank in the neighborhood of a wine shop. Liu Aiqing, is your so-called resignation, liver and brain smearing is just talking. Don't you even want to accompany me to a hangover?"
Wu Zong's words can be said on the line, and he has risen to the height of loyalty to the saint as a courtier.
Wu Zong's questioning made Liu Ye speechless. It is much simpler than not hesitating to go to the soup and fire for the sake of the saint and accompany the saint to have a hearty drink, if you are shirking, it will be against the will of the saint and make the saint unhappy. Isn't it a sin?
Willow leaves have no better way to do both, so they have to catch the ducks on the shelves. While drinking, the exercise accelerates the blood circulation around the body, sweats like pulp, and dissolves the urge to drink.
Liu Ye did not speak as cautiously as when he first came in, Wu Zong looked in a good mood, and Liu Ye bluntly admonished: "Your Majesty, it is said that officials are corrupt, in places where the Yi and Han people live together, if the local parents and officials are corrupt, the Yi people will bear the brunt of the victimization of the officials." The Yi people could not bear the exploitation of the officials, so they gathered everyone to rebel. In the turmoil and chaos in the frontiers, local officials sometimes have no way to blame. β
