Chapter 354: Monarchs and Ministers Oppose
Takakura stands in the corner, as a transparent person. In fact, he also did not approve of Wu Zong's excessive trust in Taoist priests. It is said that the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.
Wu Zong sat at the table and asked Takakura: "Takakura, am I too lenient with ministers on weekdays?" ”
Takakura stepped forward, knelt down in front of Wu Zong, and said, "Your Majesty, you are the son of Heaven, and Your Majesty's decision represents the will of Heaven. Slaves don't dare to judge. ”
Takakura can be obedient, I don't express my opinion on good or bad. Wu Zong ripped off a flower on the table and scolded with a smile; "I still play Tai Chi with me, when will I learn to taoguang and cultivate obscurity? If I tell you to, you can say it. ”
Takakura knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "The slave is shallow, Your Majesty insists on his own opinion, and there is a reason to insist on his own opinion." The ministers advised and persuaded them, and there were considerations of the ministers. A slave is just a slave, where can you judge right from wrong. ”
Takakura still sticks to his principles, and I don't express my opinion. Wu Zong scolded with a smile: "Get out." He threw the flowers in his hand into Takakura's arms.
Takakura got up and rolled very quickly. "Come back." Wu Zong stopped him.
The old minister is rigid in his thinking and does not open his mind, and the officials of the younger generation should be able to understand him. "Takakura, go and call Liu Shirou."
Liu Ye sorted out and checked the topographic map of the mountains and rivers preserved by the military headquarters. The topography of various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the military deployment graphics, are all in the library of the Ministry of War.
Liu Ye took advantage of his position to look at these maps when he had free time. Especially the southwest defense map, he paid special attention.
He subconsciously felt that Xue Shang was not the master of peace, and sooner or later he and Xue Shang would meet in another form.
Gao Cang hurriedly came to the military headquarters, and Shang Shutian Lingkuan of the military department stood up to greet him, "What kind of wind blew the high attendant here?" ”
"Lord Shangshu, the miscellaneous family came to find Liu Shilang."
"Go and call Liu Shilang." Shangshu instructed the people around him.
Liu Ye rummaged through the old books, and some of the books were shaken open to reveal a layer of dust. Hearing someone outside shouting to him, open the door and come out.
His colleague told him, "The senior attendant is looking for you." ”
Liu Ye returned to his office area, washed his hands and face, and came out to see Takakura.
"Lord Shangshu, the miscellaneous family took Liu Shilang to see Your Majesty." Takakura and Tian Shangshu said goodbye and left with Yanagiba.
Takakura is an extremely measured person, Wuzong is a wise monarch, and Takakura can become Wuzong's confidant, so Takakura is not an ordinary person. Although he was favored by Wu Zong, he did not have the slightest sense of arrogance.
"There is a high attendant." Liu Ye said politely, and the two had no dialogue, and came to the Qinghe Hall in silence all the way. First Reading Network
Liu Ye fell to the ground, "Weichen knocks on Your Majesty." ”
Wu Zong: "Ai Qing is flat." ”
Liu Ye raised his head, a pair of bright eyes bloomed, looking at Wu Zong's eyes, he felt that the dormitory was brightened because of these bright eyes.
I was still depressed just now, because this brightness is a lot brighter. couldn't help but say with a pleasant face: "Liu Shilang, I summoned you here for nothing else." You returned to the capital to take up a post, are you still used to it? ”
Liu Ye stood respectfully at the door, leaned over and replied, "Your Majesty's grace is mighty, so that Wei Chen has been promoted from a junior officer to a squire in the military department. Wechen often harbored fear, for fear that his ability was limited and he would fail the grace of God. I've been humbly learning from my predecessors, hoping to be alone one day sooner. ”
Wu Zong beckoned Liu Ye to come forward and speak. He always bowed his head respectfully, covering the splendor in his eyes. Liu Ye knelt opposite Wu Zong, her long eyelashes agitated.
What kind of beauty would these eyes be if they were on a woman's face? Wu Zong stared at the plump face in front of him. Xu is Wuzong's gaze stopped for a long time, and the willow leaves lowered his eyes.
Wu Zong blurted out: "Liu Shilang, your eyes are extremely beautiful. ”
Liu Ye replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the eldest husband is based on the world not for his beauty, but for his talent. If a woman wants to serve Israel, she cares about her appearance. Weichen is dignified and eyebrows, so he cares more about improving his talent. ”
Wu Zong asked, "Liu Shilang, do you believe in Buddhism or Taoism?" ”
In the palace, towering into the clouds, the Wangxian Tower stands on the south bank of the Taiye Pool. Liu Ye knew that Wuzong was a faithful believer in Taoism. Although he couldn't guess what Wu Zong's words were when he asked him, Liu Ye still planned to knock Wu Zong on the side.
Liu Ye once again prostrated himself on the ground and replied, "For Wei Chen, to fulfill the duty of a courtier, the monarch who believes in the Holy Ming is the most important. One of the Buddhist teachings, advocating non-killing, and Weichen quelled the Uighur rebellion and the Zhaoyi rebellion on the frontier, and his hands were already stained with blood. Even if Wechen wanted to embrace Buddhism, the Buddha would not bless a believer who killed a living being. As for Taoism, Weichen did not dare to get involved in it. The sage Lao Tzu advocated non-action and Taoism and nature. And Weichen is a person who has entered the WTO and wants to start a career under the protection of the Shengming monarch. Wechen does not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, we believe in the Shengming monarch who can create a prosperous world, Your Majesty. ”
Liu Ye's words had another meaning, but in Wuzong's ears, it was very popular. Because Liu Ye has repeatedly emphasized that he believes in the monarch of Shengming, and the monarch of Shengming is him, who once again created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Zong took a step closer and said tentatively: "I advocate Taoism, and in my eyes, Taoism is the state religion. ”
Liu Yejin said: "Your Majesty respects Taoism, and Taoism advocates the rule of inaction, Taoism is natural, and goodness is like water. These teachings guide people to follow their hearts, and His Majesty is the Son of Heaven for the people of the world, and the Son of Heaven for the people of the world to emulate and revere. Your Majesty is open to the open source and throttling, from the good as the stream, from the advice as the stream, and humbly accept the advice, all because His Majesty respects the Taoist teachings. Weichen, like the people of the world, is glad that he has caught up with the good times, and he is glad that he is facing the Shengming monarch every day in the court. Weichen and the people of the world all think that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven who can be compared to a virtuous monarch like Yao Shun. ”
Wu Zong laughed, and only stopped laughing for a while and asked: "Liu Shilang, you said that I am a virtuous monarch, but I think that if I am my courtiers, they are all like Liu Shilang to avoid the important and trivial, and if I praise me, can I still remain clear and be a holy monarch?" Liu Shilang, do you think what you just said is a blunt admonition, or is it a hypocrisy in order to cater to my intentions? ”
Liu Ye replied to the question, and kept prostrating himself on the ground, unable to see Wu Zong's expression. Wu Zong was actually trying his best to hold back a smile, making his tone sound harsh.
Liu Ye: "Weichen is stupid, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and Weichen does not dare to speculate on the holy will without authorization." If His Majesty thinks that Wechen is outspoken, Wechen will make persistent efforts. If His Majesty thinks that Wechen is a hypocrisy and a wrongdoer, and Wechen is willing to accept His Majesty's punishment, Wechen will review his mistakes and correct his mistakes. ”
Wu Zong continued to laugh, and reprimanded him with words: "Okay, you Liu Shilang, I asked you what you think, but you will take my army and ask me what you think, you are fat, right?" ”
