Before Wen Yiheng could speak, Emperor Tianduo questioned Wen Yiheng again: "And since you became the prime minister of Shang Shuling, the dispute between the court and China seems to have become more severe, and there are even rumors that you are at odds with the crown prince and many officials...... How do you explain this? ”

As if he felt that his questioning was a little abrupt, Emperor Tianduo added: "Since the beginning of your son, you won the battle on the frontier and exposed the drought in the western surrender city, although these two things have been done very well, but it is true that people continue to say that you are not in front of me. ”

"I didn't care about those gossips at first, but later there were more and more people who said it, and I couldn't help but be concerned about it, after all, there are many people, so I specially summoned you and Na Su Jiudong into the palace to inquire when you returned to Beijing today."

Emperor Tianduo's expression changed from indifference just now to worry and temptation, as if he was really thinking about Wen Yiheng, so he summoned Wen Yiheng into the palace today to inquire about it.

If Wen Yiheng was still a rookie when he first became the prime minister of Shang Shuling, maybe he would still believe Emperor Tianduo's words, but today's Wen Yiheng has already been reborn differently from the past, so Wen Yiheng can also be calm and calm about Emperor Tianduo's temptation.

Wen Yiheng smiled lightly: "The reason why the minister's efforts in the border city of the frontier have been criticized by people is nothing more than that the interests of some people have been affected and they have been jealous. ”

Wen Yiheng directly explained that he was criticized because he was criticized because he affected the interests of others.

However, Wen Yiheng's straightforward statement did not get Emperor Tianduo's understanding: "Neither is it, it is not either, naturally it can't all depend on others, you still have to find the reason from yourself, isn't there a common saying among the people, it seems to be called flies don't bite eggs." ”

Seeing that the current Emperor Tianduo had stood on the position that Wen Yiheng himself had a problem from the very beginning, Wen Yiheng in desperation could only choose to use another way to knock on Emperor Tianduo's elm head that could no longer be carved.

Wen Yiheng was not as passionate and indignant as Emperor Tianduo imagined, arguing with reason, but asked Emperor Tianduo for instructions: "The saint has just said a lot of words, and he must have a dry mouth, can you allow the minister to serve tea to the saint to moisten his throat, cheer up with songs, and then answer the question?" ”

Emperor Tianduo didn't know how Wen Yiheng planned to deal with it, since Wen Yiheng made such a request, then he agreed first, and if there was a situation, he would see you again.

Emperor Tianduo didn't know what kind of medicine Wen Yiheng was selling in his gourd, but he also knew that Wen Yiheng really didn't mean to harm people, so he agreed: "Serve tea and sing?" Not...... Also available. ”

Wen Yiheng did not immediately walk in front of Emperor Tianduo, but first spread his hands, turned around in place, and showed Emperor Tianduo that he did not carry any weapons on his body, and only after getting Emperor Tianduo's permission did he dare to step forward to serve tea to Emperor Tianduo.

Wen Yiheng's series of actions were not out of respect for Emperor Tianduo, but out of a deep understanding of etiquette.

If he stepped forward immediately after getting Emperor Tianduo's permission just now, it was very likely that Emperor Tianduo would think that he intended to assassinate the king, but I was afraid that before he could defend himself, he would be pushed out by Emperor Tianduo and divided into five horses.

Emperor Tianduo looked at Wen Yiheng's skillful operation at the tea table, and said: "Remember that Zichu is a good hand at making tea, and you are the best at ordering tea. ”

Wen Yiheng responded: "The Holy Lord likes the Junshan Silver Needle the most, but the final tea and taste obtained by the Junshan Silver Needle using the method of ordering tea are not the best, but since the Holy Lord insists on using the method of ordering tea, Nachen will do his best." ”

Wen Yiheng ordered tea for Emperor Tianduo while opening his mouth to sing a song with an elegant tone, the melody is beautiful, Wen Yiheng's singing voice is low but tactful and rhymed, which sounds unique.

Wen Yiheng's low and tactful singing voice could only be heard in front of Emperor Tianduo. Wen Yiheng also deliberately controlled his volume so that no one outside the Lin De Hall could hear it.

This song, which should have been clear and elegant, was sung by Wen Yiheng with a different tune, and the originally tense atmosphere in the Lin De Hall seemed to have become a place for literati and ink writers to meet friends with songs.

Gradually, Wen Yiheng's singing voice faded into silence and ended as he stopped lightly ordering tea.

After serving the tea and singing the song, Wen Yiheng personally tried the non-toxic tea for Emperor Tianduo before he began to respond to Emperor Tianduo's double questioning just now:

"The saint just asked two questions, one is that he thinks that there are bad remarks about the ministers in the court, and the other is that he mentions the content of the disputes between the forces in the court."

"The last two questions are all reduced to one conclusion, and the saint believes that these things seem to have happened because the minister himself was not deliberately framed by others, and he even blamed the minister for not reflecting on himself."

There was a serious aura lingering between Emperor Tianduo's eyebrows, and he didn't think that there was anything wrong with Wen Yiheng's questioning just now.

Wen Yiheng returned to the position just now and stood still, looking up at the mountain, polite: "The saint's question, the minister intends to answer with a story, the story is not long, and the time of a cup of tea can be finished, and the saint does not have to worry about being boring." ”

Emperor Tianduo choked and said: "I am the true dragon son of heaven, the most important thing is time, I summoned you into the palace today, just to solve this matter, forgive me how long your story is, I am not afraid of delay...... Say it. "Pythagorean Library

Wen Yiheng nodded to Emperor Tianduo and said: "The story still starts from what the minister saw and heard in Shannan Road a few years ago. ”

"At that time, the minister was serving as a messenger with Chu Lufeng, inspecting the world on behalf of the saint, passing through Jingmen, Shannan Road, and the minister and the two people stopped to rest on the road, and occasionally heard that there was a singer from the Qinglou girl in the teahouse next door singing and selling for money, and felt that the singing was pleasant, so he went to take a look."

"At the beginning, the singer sang the easy-to-understand two songs "Xiali" and "Ba Ren", and there were more than 40 tea guests in the teahouse who sang along with him, and he was rewarded with more than 1,000 yuan."

When Emperor Tianduo heard that the two songs "Xiali" and "Ba Ren" appeared in this story, he knew Wen Yiheng's intentions.

But Emperor Tianduo is the superior after all, and since he promised to let Wen Yiheng finish the story just now, he will not interrupt now, but jokes.

"The two of you go out on patrol, and you still have free time to go to the teahouse next door to listen to songs, which is really good."

"Going to the teahouse to listen to songs, isn't it also a type of experience of people's livelihood and patrolling on behalf of the sky?" Wen Yiheng's tone was relaxed, and he was not disturbed by Emperor Tianduo at all, and wittily defended: "The minister and Chu Lufeng are listening to songs for official business, and they can't be regarded as dereliction of duty. ”

"When the singer finishes singing the two songs "Xiali" and "Ba Ren", and then sings the two songs of "Yang A" and "Pickle Dew" with a medium level, although there are not as many singers as just now, there are more than 20 people, and the final reward is only 300 Wen."

Emperor Tianduo chuckled lightly: "Three hundred Wen...... It was actually less than half of the thousands of wen reward just now, and the people of the people were so stingy that they could even get the reward of 100 wen. ”

Wen Yiheng nodded and echoed: "Indeed, the reward of 300 wen is not enough for the singer to come out to sing today and dress up her own fat powder. ”

Wen Yiheng knew that Emperor Tianduo had always lived in a wealthy Heavenly Family, and had never personally gone out to inspect the people's conditions, and he didn't know the hardships and hardships of the people to earn money, so he didn't correct Emperor Tianduo and told him that it was not easy for ordinary people to make money.

"So the singer sang the more artistic "Yang Chun" and "White Snow", trying to attract those elegant tea guests with elegant tunes and get more rewards."

However, as soon as the singer opened her mouth, the number of singers in the teahouse was suddenly reduced to only seven or eight, and the reward was reduced to sixty yuan...... It's only sixty wen, and even the money to pay for tea is not enough. Wen Yiheng's eyes narrowed, and he clearly expressed that the reward of sixty wen was too little.

So the singer was in a hurry and sang Li Taibai's "Qingping Tune", among which the introduction of Shang Keyu was the most elegant. However, as soon as such a tune was sung, no one in the teahouse sang with her, and in the end, there was no reward money. ”

After Wen Yiheng finished the story, he stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Emperor Tianduo, and said nothing.

He has now made his position clear to Emperor Tianduo with such a story, and in the future, it will only be up to Emperor Tianduo to judge.

After listening to the story, Emperor Tianduo's tone was much softer than Wen Yiheng's question just now: "I know that at the beginning of the year, you are quoting the question of the Warring States Chu Song Yu to the King of Chu to answer my two questions. ”

"The song you sang just now is also "Qingping Tune", right? Are you comparing yourself to a saint? ”

Wen Yiheng replied calmly: "The minister is just a mortal, not a saint, and he never dares to rashly compare with the saint, but the minister has been reading and learning since he was a child, and he has also mixed the name of 'the first genius in the capital' for so many years, and he wears it with fear." ”

"With such a heavyweight of the name, although the minister is not terrified, but after all, it has verified that the minister is indeed smarter than some ignorant people, when the Holy Lord selected the minister to serve as the prime minister of Shangshu Ling, it must also be that the minister has some literary talent......

Wen Yiheng knew that Emperor Tianduo saw that he was young and easy to manipulate, and he was not a figure on both sides of his relatives and the political party, so he was selected as the prime minister of Shangshuling.

Emperor Tianduo naturally couldn't admit his reason for choosing Wen Yiheng as the prime minister in the first place, so he nodded and said that it was indeed the case.

Emperor Tianduo only gave Wen Yiheng a seat at this time, and Wen Yiheng moved the embroidery pier next to him and returned to the position where he was standing just now before continuing.

"Songs with elegant tunes, few people sing harmony, and those who have the ability and strength to learn from them have their own maverick thoughts, which are difficult for ordinary people to experience and feel, so they will not be understood by secular people."

"The so-called spring and white snow, high and low, capable, and powerful people will not necessarily be recognized and supported by others, but have a greater possibility of being squeezed out by others, not that the ministers are enemies of others, but that they automatically squeeze out the ministers as enemies."

Wen Yiheng stood up, and his words were loud: "The original intention of being an enemy of a person is not a minister, it is all because of the choice of outsiders, and the saint should ask those who regard the minister as an imaginary enemy, instead of letting the minister examine himself." ”
