Chapter 605: Human Nature and Character
Li Xiang has worked hard and made great achievements, so he will be exempted from the position of prime minister. Everyone in the main hall was stunned for a while, and they were all digesting the emperor's sudden decision. There was silence for a while.
After a while, Zhou Qi knelt down, and Du Yi, Zhang Zhongqing and others knelt down one after another. Xuanzong looked coldly, and a third of the courtiers knelt down. Question your own decisions.
There was also a part of the knees that said that they were bent or not bent and watched from both ends, but Bai Minzhong stood with his head bowed and did not respond. There are also some who applaud the emperor's decision in their hearts. It should have been like this a long time ago, Li Deyu was in the imperial court, and they had no chance of getting ahead.
As long as there are two things he assigned, and you don't do two things well, he will reprimand you without a nose and a face. How much he suffered under his hands.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister is very old, don't let the prime minister travel far away. Please leave your Excellency behind. Zhou Qi took the lead in asking for help.
Xuanzong sneered in his heart, what kind of ecstasy soup did Li Deyu pour into them, so that they would follow him with all their hearts.
Xuanzong said in a deep voice: "Zhou Qi, you don't worry about Li Deyu's body, I will fulfill your heart for Li Deyu, you go to his side to be a gongcao." can assist Li Deyu, and can also take care of his aging body. ”
Xuanzong's move is very ruthless, you are not interceding for Li Deyu, I belittled Li Deyu, and you will follow along. Zhou Qi was suddenly demoted from the secretary of the ministry to the meritorious Cao. Zhang Zhongqing and the others were originally going to help, but this time they killed a chicken and showed it to these monkeys. Who would dare.
The crowd hung their heads and did not dare to speak. Those who are ready to watch from both ends with their knees bent, stand up straight. Zhou Qi spoke up for himself, and when he was implicated, he couldn't protect himself, even if he angered Long Yan, he had to try.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Qi's talent is in the ministry, if it is for the sake of the old man who can't display his talent, it is a loss for the country, and the old man is ashamed of His Majesty." Li Deyu knelt down and kowtowed.
"I have made up my mind, don't say more." Xuanzong said in a deep voice
Whoever says more will be derogatory, and even more derogatory. Xuanzong flicked the sleeves of his robe, "Li Deyu and Zhou Qi will take office immediately, and there must be no mistakes." ”
Hurry up and implement it, let them hurry up and take office. Bai Min was secretly happy in the center, this will finally be able to be above 10,000 people under one person. When the time comes, Li Zongmin and Niu Shengyu will be recalled to the capital.
Bai Minzhong considered the next step of play. After retreating from the court, Li Deyu said guiltily: "Zhou Qi, why did you come to speak for the old man, but it affected you." The old man was deeply disturbed, not for anything else, but because it would be useless for you to go with me. ”
Zhou Qi looked haggard, he went out of the capital by himself, and he didn't know when he wanted to come back, "My lord, this matter is not your problem." If I don't say it, it will be a troubled conscience. The adults worked hard for the country's society, but they ended up like this. I just can't bear it. ”
Zhou Qi and Li Deyu stood at the foot of the steps of the Xuanzheng Hall to speak, and Bai Minzhong and his group passed by them, arching their hands without saying goodbye. They talked and laughed all the way away.
Zhang Zhongqing spit a few mouthfuls on the ground, what kind of people are they, they are all a group of villains. As an official in the same dynasty, he didn't even do superficial articles. Especially that Bai Minzhong, he is a piece of garbage. Li Xiang treats him well, but he is a kind and will take revenge.
Everyone sent Li Deyu to Xiama Bridge, and then turned around. They were busy, and Zhou Qi returned to the mansion to hand over related matters. Zhou Qi and Li Deyu agreed to leave for their posts two days later.
Li Deyu's resignation was tantamount to an earthquake, which caused a shock in the government and the opposition, and Guozixue also got the news. The classmates all looked at Li Yi with sympathetic eyes. Li Yi is the son of the prime minister and the son of the second most powerful man in the capital.
Everyone holds him on weekdays, but now they begin to sympathize with him, and he is not used to sympathetic eyes, and he does not want to accept the sympathy of others. More importantly, he was worried about his father.
Dr. Li Yihe took leave of absence and rode all the way home. Li Deyu was with Mrs. Wang, and several other concubines were also there. Li leaned in his father's study and waited for his father.
The wives and concubines all had sad faces, and Mrs. Wang: "Master, let my sister accompany you, it's okay if we don't go, someone has to be by your side." ”
Zheng didn't want to go, her son was still studying, and she was reluctant to let go of her children. Zheng was silent and did not take the initiative to ask. Li Deyu: "You all stay in the capital, the climate is too humid there, and you are used to living in the capital." Don't toss. I am not at home, so you must be in harmony and take care of your children and grandchildren. ”
Li Deyu thought that he had worked hard for the court for half his life, and in the end he was swept away. Hope for your children and grandchildren. After this life, I will go downhill. This time, Li Deyu has no heart to make a comeback, and he is really old.
Li Deyu returned to the study with his hands behind his back, Li leaned on the steps at the door of the study and sat down, and when he saw his father, he bounced up, "Father." "He gathered his clothes and gave gifts.
"Yi'er, are you lazy and skipping class again?" Li Deyu thought clearly in his heart that his son had come back to ask for confirmation after getting the news, or did he ask inconsistently.
"Father, the child wants to come back to see his father." Li Yi helped his father into the door and helped his father sit on the chair.
Li Yi lifted the hem of his robe and knelt on his knees, "Father, the child is not skipping class, the child is dropping out of school." He Guozixue retired. ”
Li Deyu slapped the table and stood up, he now pinned his hopes on the children, his son was good, and he would tear down the stage for himself first.
"Say it again!" Li Deyu scolded his son.
Li Yi knelt and kowtowed, "Father is angry, you listen to your son first, if what your son says is unreasonable, your son is going back to study." ”
Li Deyu sighed, "I want to hear if you can tell me the flowers." ”
Li Yi raised his face, "Father, the son has always been aspiring not to be in the officialdom, the father is not the son who is not angry, it is the son who thinks that the officialdom is not worth the son's effort." Father, you have been up and down in officialdom for half your life, and now father, have you seen through it? The emperor wrote off your credit, and said that he loves the house and the black, and the other side of being able to love the house and the black is to hate the house and the black. Father, the child has made up his mind, and the child should follow his father to Jingnan, serve his father wholeheartedly by his father's side, and always obey his father's teachings. ”
Li Yi stopped speaking in moderation, yes, his son was right, because of himself, several sons would be implicated, not to mention the promotion of officialdom, it would be good not to be suppressed. The wall fell and everyone pushed it.
The youngest son's unintentional officialdom does not seem to be a bad thing now, and it is not a blessing for Saiong to lose his horse! Li Deyu sighed, "Yi'er." ”
Li Yi got up and walked to his father's side, "Father, the child and the mother accompanied the father to Jingnan. The child listens to the teachings by his father's side, it doesn't matter if he is an official or not, the key is to be a person, and the child will not let his father down. ”
Li Yi's eyes are firm, and his eyes are as clear as water on weekdays, but at this moment he has a sharp insight into the world. Li Deyu patted his son's hand, "Yi'er, everyone has their own ambitions, and your father respects your choice." ”
