[Chapter 5: Ten Things to Do Wisely, Ministers, and Virtuous Ministers] (2)

Seeing that among the hundred officials, the Son of Heaven was the first to call his name, and Yao Chong was a little surprised. After glancing at the prime ministers, and comparing the military parade he had heard about with the geographical location of Weizhou, he had a certain grasp of the mind of the Son of Heaven. Whoever encounters it is a great joy, and Xie Zhu Longen is still too late, but for the current Yao Chong, it is impossible to avoid it.

Not to mention that there are thousands of state affairs, old drawbacks emerge in endlessly, it is difficult to do, he is famous, it is purely normal to do well, and if he does not do well, it is not guaranteed, just because the heroes, especially Zhang Shuo, are still in the political hall, he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water.

This is not the same as when the emperor ascended the throne, at that time the emperor was weak, the prince was restrained, and the princess of Zhenguo was powerful and powerful to Ling Jun, for the sake of the Son of Heaven and the prince, he stood up and did not give in, and at the same time sought his government in his position. Now that the emperor has released power, the princess of Zhenguo has been promoted, and the Son of Heaven is orthodox in the Tang Dynasty, there is no crisis and danger, at least for now, in his opinion, it is not a good time for him to pay homage to the prime minister, unless......

Yao Chong immediately denied the thought in his heart. The Son of Heaven does have the blood of Emperor Taizong, and he also has the courage of the Empress of Heaven, but I don't know if he has the emperor's ability to govern the country and the courage to make bold moves. Just seeing that he is so young and new to power, according to normal inference, it is not enough to maintain stability, how can he follow him to do anything "unless"? He still has a mind to avoid it.

He immediately saluted Li Longji, and when Li Longji stretched out his hand to help, he hid without a trace, and at the same time smiled kindly: "Don't come to the saint unharmed." ”

It's a pity that his dodge did not escape Li Longji's eyes, and it also fell into Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes. After Li Longji exempted Yao Chong, Xiao Jiangyuan stepped forward and squatted down, holding Yao Chong's arm with both hands, and his movements were undoubted. Yao Chong was slightly startled, so he had to look at him and smile, and stood up together.

"Thank you, Supervisor Xiao." Yao Chong brushed Xiao Jiangyuan's hand as he spoke, and while smiling, his eyes sparkled. Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan saluting innocently and standing behind Li Longji again, he bowed his hand to Li Longji again, "I saw the sage Kang Tai today, and the old minister was satisfied, so he retreated, hoping to hunt some good prey for the sage." ”

Seeing that Yao Chong was about to leave after speaking, Li Longji was busy learning from each other, and grabbed Yao Chong with both hands: "It turns out that Yao Aiqing can also hunt?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's eyebrows raised slightly-isn't her Ah Lang Mo nervous? This kind of question can also be asked, how many Tang Dynasty men can't hunt? What's more, Yao Chong has also been in the picture.

As soon as he finished asking, Li Longji also wanted to bite off his tongue, and was worried that the atmosphere would be embarrassing, so he saw Yao Chonglang and said with a smile: "The old minister is not only good at fighting, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is proficient." ”

Li Longji took advantage of the situation and said, "Oh? ”

Yao Chongxian broke free of one hand and stroked his goat's whiskers: "Who does the sage think the old minister is?" When he was a teenager, it is not an exaggeration to say that Meng Lang was exaggerated. When he was in his twenties, Lao Chen's family lived in Guangchengze, at that time, Lao Chen did not learn and did not know, and he knew that he was wearing an eagle and hunting on a horse, so Lao Chen had already practiced a good skill of hunting. I don't know what the saint wants to eat, so the old minister will go to fight. ”

When the time comes, if you don't fight, the old face will be ashamed, and you will be able to hide far away. Yao Chong was calculating in his heart, but he didn't expect that his other hand was held tightly by Li Longji, and he refused to let go.

Li Longji did not answer Yao Chong's question, but started a new topic and took the initiative: "Yao Gong was like this when he was young? It's hard to imagine. Dare to ask Yao Gong, why did he want to join the company later? ”

The question of the courtier, the Son of Heaven can be ignored, but the question of the Son of Heaven, the courtier cannot do the same. And "Yao Aiqing" has become "Yao Gong", which means that it is different, the former may also have a little emperor's shelf, and the latter is completely respectful. The respect of the Son of Heaven is as heavy as Mount Tai, and as an old minister, he can't know what to do.

Yao Chong knew that the Son of Heaven had discovered his dodge and intended to continue to fight, but he didn't want to give up his will so easily, so he had to pretend to be stupid first.

Yao Chong said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the saint won't believe in this matter." Lao Chen once met an old man, saying that the old minister will enter the prime minister in the future, and he is a pillar of the country, and also advised the old minister not to waste his time and talents, and to work hard while he is young. Only then did the old minister wake up and study hard. Later, the saint and his colleagues present became aware of it. ”

Yao Chong borrowed the shade of the family door to become the first to enter the officialdom of the filial piety to the emperor, and then wrote a chapter in the middle of the pen, and after many years of experience in the army, he progressed to the phase. It can be described as both civil and military, and the real generals are in and out of the phase.

Li Longji was surprised: "There is such a miracle? ”

Yao Chong said again: "Don't look at the old minister, he is already in his sixtieth year, he looks old, but he is not old when he hunts, and he is definitely not a problem." Can a saint want to eat a deer? Let the old minister call for the saint. ”

"Then Yao Gong will take me with him." As Li Longji spoke, he pulled Yao Chong to the side of a heroic horse, stretched out his arms and asked Yao Chong to get on the horse, and he had the posture of helping him with his own hands.

Yao Chong: "......"

If you are together, then he will not be polite, the words have been released, there are so many colleagues present, he also wants to save face, so he can't pretend not to move. If he pretends to be too much, gives reasons to those who have impeached him, or angers the Son of Heaven, so that he will not even be able to assassinate history in the future, it will be more than worth the loss. After all, he is only in his sixties, and he is still young, so he is not willing to leave the officialdom so early.

Maybe the saint saw that he was fighting better than himself, and he was disgusted, so he dispelled the idea of letting him worship the prime minister, and maybe he couldn't say.

This time, Yao Chong didn't dodge Li Longji's hand. When he got on the horse, he saw Li Longji whistling, attracting his own falcon, with a chic demeanor and outstanding demeanor. The falcon landed on Li Longji's arm, looking left and right, very proud of the audience, which was in stark contrast to the modest and polite Li Longji.

Yao Chong inexplicably felt that the falcon was Li Longji's true attitude. He quickly shook his head to dispel his thoughts, took a deep breath, and waited for the Son of Heaven and his close eunuch to come with him, only to see that the two of them were not fast, and they were still very close, as if they were whispering something.

Li Longji was facing away from Yao Chong, walking towards his mount Zhao Yebai, and felt strange as he walked, so he asked in a low voice, "You said Yao Gong...... Are you avoiding me? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan obviously saw it a long time ago, and replied very happily: "Yes." ”

Li Longji frowned and was puzzled: "What is he hiding from me?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "According to what the minister has seen, since Zhang Xianggong can understand everyone's thoughts, Yao Xiangshi's ability is no less than Zhang Xianggong's, so naturally he can." He hid from everyone for one reason: he didn't want to be prime minister. ”

"Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to be the prime minister?" Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to respond, Li Longji thought of something and said, "That's right, the world is so big, there are no surprises, as far as I know, there are still women who don't want to marry the emperor." After speaking, he didn't forget to put his intriguing gaze on the personal eunuch of the boy and woman beside him.

Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"

In the 100 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, because of the imperial examination, scholars have multiple literary talents, and there are many amazing poets who have appeared on the stage, such as Luo Bin Wang, He Zhizhang, Zhang Jiuling, etc., far away in the Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions, there is a young man named Li Bai who has written more than 100 poems, and he is famous, and in Chang'an in recent years, there is a prodigy for Wang Wei who was born.

There is no shortage of poets who personify the affairs of their careers into marriage, and compare the relationship between monarchs and ministers to the relationship between husband and wife, so Li Longji's analogy is logical, and Xiao Jiangyuan has no room for refutation, so he has to be deflated.

Fortunately, Li Longji is a person who can read his face, and after teasing him, he continued to think about business: "Why do you think he doesn't want to be the prime minister?" ”

The minister could only guess. Maybe it's because he is resistant or dissatisfied with the political hall occupied by the heroes, maybe he doesn't want to get into the troubles of the court, or maybe it's because he ......" Xiao Jiangyuan smiled deeply on his lips, "When he is today, he thinks he can't help." ”

Emperors who are difficult to assist are basically either tyrants and faint monarchs who hinder their virtues, or mediocre monarchs with average talents. Li Longji knew that this was Xiao Jiangyuan taking revenge on him for the ridicule he had just made, making fun of him for lacking the charm of Mingjun and not being able to let the phoenix perch, but he was not angry, and felt that there was some truth: "At present, in terms of governing the country, I really haven't made any achievements, and it is not impossible for him to question my ability." ”

Under Xiao Jiangyuan's surprised gaze, Li Longji continued to take care of himself and whispered: "But he can't just deny me like that, ability takes time to verify, I believe that as long as he becomes the prime minister, within two years, he will be able to recognize me - why do you think of me like this?" ”
