[Chapter 22: Monarchs and Ministers and Rulers and Rulers] (2)
No matter what kind of shortcomings others have, Xiao Jiangyuan can deal with them calmly, but she is disloyal, so although she is as polite and respectful to Wang Maozhong as everyone else, she still looks down on him in her heart. Wang Maozhong helped herself, even if it was as simple as getting a horse, she didn't want to accept it.
Because Wang Maozhong has a good way of raising horses and providing a large number of war horses to the army, not only Li Longji has become more and more fond of him, but even those generals and soldiers are very respectful to him, so Wang Maozhong thinks that standing in front of Xiao Jiangyuan at this time is enough to look down proudly, and he no longer has to be as unconfident as before.
He thought that he would help Xiao Jiangyuan this time, one was to sell a good sage, the other was that Xiao Jiangyuan was the saint's side after all, and it was not good to let her deal with him all the time, and the third was that he didn't like Xiao Jiangyuan's pretentious appearance the most, because he was timid and afraid of death, Xiao Jiangyuan almost didn't kill himself, and now he not only didn't bother with her, but also took the initiative to help her, even if she was hard-hearted, she should be uncomfortable, but he didn't expect people to accept his affection at all.
Wang Maozhong was unhappy: "What have you vomited into, and you are still strong?" β
- You don't want to accept it, I don't want to help you! Who can't make some mistakes in their lives, just change it, the saints are relieved, you and I have been grudging for so long, I haven't said anything, why are you still holding on?
Xiao Jiangyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Maozhong, and just as he was about to say something, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, rushed to the side, and vomited again.
She, so, will, of!
Wang Maozhong was ashamed and humiliated, and looked at Li Longji aggrieved and angry, hoping that the master could make the decision for him, but when he saw Li Longji holding his forehead with one hand, he suddenly said angrily: "This route has been set up a long time ago, and I have known that the local officials along the way will be known before the journey, how can I still stumble like this all the way?!" β
Li Longji knew that the two of them couldn't get used to each other, and he understood Xiao Jiangyuan's thoughts even more, so he never thought of getting them back together, but now Wang Maozhong just made such a play, did he really think that he couldn't see through the little Jiujiu in his heart? He was already angry because of the problem of the road, but now he shouted at Wang Maozhong: "Don't go and call me Henan Yin and Zhidun Shi yet!" β
Wang Maozhong saw that Li Longji was really angry, and he was about to leave in a hurry, so he heard Li Longji say again: "Call another imperial doctor to come over!" β
The imperial doctor arrived the fastest, thinking that there was something wrong with the Son of Heaven's body, but as soon as he arrived, he was assigned by the Son of Heaven to General Xiao. Henan Yin and Zhidun Shi came all the way with Song Jing and Su Kun, and before the ceremony was finished, he listened to Li Longji's order to arrest him and remove him!
Seeing that the anger on Li Longji's face had not subsided, Su Yi pulled Song Jing's sleeve without a trace, but Song Jing still immediately stood up: "Saints can't." β
Su Kun sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help cheering up. Although Li Longji was also in good spirits, he soon became weak-hearted, and listened to Song Jing say in an orderly manner: "The saint is still young, if the road is not smooth during the parade, the two ministers will be dismissed, and the ministers are worried that the courtiers will think that the saint is a monarch who is greedy for pleasure, and in the future, when the saint goes out to various places again, the local officials will definitely make a superficial fuss in order to satisfy the saint, and at that time, not only will the people suffer, but it will be difficult for the saint to see the real situation in the local area." β
Li Longji moved to the Eastern Capital with the entire imperial court this time, and with the increasing number of children, there were a lot more people accompanying him than before, and the roads were slippery on snowy days, and the roads were difficult to walk. He was impulsive just now, so he said the words of dismissal, and he regretted it before Song Jing opened his mouth, and at this time, he just changed his words, and he could also please Song Jing: "Song Gong said it very reasonably, Fang is my mistake, then I will not be exempted from the official." β
Hearing Li Longji accept his statement so happily and obey without any refutation, Song Jing felt very surprised, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the Son of Heaven. As if he had never known Li Longji, he felt as if he was in a dream, and turned to look at Xiao Jiangyuan, who was sitting not far away and was being seen by the imperial doctor.
Xiao Jiangyuan had been paying attention to Li Longji's every move, and Song Jing's eyes fell into her eyes. Seeing that Song Jing's serious and serious face had a little more dazed look, Xiao Jiangyuan found it quite interesting, but he still bowed his head for the first time and gave him an affirmative answer - Song Jing is such an upright person, she can't bear to tease.
Although Song Jing already had the bottom in his heart, he still thought about it and said, "Saints can't. β
Xiao Jiangyuan and Su Yi were both stunned, and Li Longji was questioning at the same time, but he was angry: What does this Song Jing mean, it is not right to be dismissed, it is not right to be exempt, what does he want him to do?
Song Jing continued: "The saint was already going to punish the two of them for their sins, but because of the minister's words, he wanted to forgive them, this is not to attribute the fault to the saint, but to let the minister be kind to them? It is better for the saint to remove them from their posts for the time being, stay in the court for use, and then the saint will find an opportunity to reinstate them in the future, and then they will be grateful to the saint. β
Song Jing has been lowering his eyes politely since he glanced at Li Longji, so he didn't see Li Longji's handsome eyebrows that flew up after hearing this.
Li Longji couldn't help but look at the person in front of him very quicklyβis this still the Song Jing he knows?
Song Jing's remarks, if other courtiers said them, would be somewhat flattering, but when they came from Song Jing's mouth, they were really for Li Longji's sake. Li Longji knew this very well, so he was even more shocked.
Returning grace to the top, and returning to oneself is the great virtue of the minister, and not everyone can do it. Li Longji thought before that Song Jing kept saying that he was not good or bad because he did not meet Song Jing's requirements for Mingjun in his heart, and today he really felt that Song Jing recognized him.
What makes Li Longji even happier is that in the days when Li Longji was determined to introspect himself, try his best to appreciate Song Jing's deep meaning, and gradually obey his words, although Song Jing was still as outspoken as before, he also clearly changed slightly, just like Fang Cai.
Su Wei realized this most profoundly. He saw it clearly, if Li Longji was stubborn and insistent, what he insisted on was not wrong, and it had nothing to do with personal affairs, Song Jing would want to take the initiative to loosen his mouth after discussing with him, and Li Longji often obeyed Song Jing's meaning before Song Jing decided to let go - this really saved him a lot of energy.
After the last stiff fight, both monarchs and ministers began to learn to sincerely think about each other, and at the same time reflect on their own shortcomings, so that they finally have today's harmony between monarchs and ministers. Today, they all felt the changes in each other, and even he, a bystander, felt very moved when he saw it.
Li Longji couldn't help but step forward, held Song Jing's hand with both hands, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Song Gong, I was ignorant in the past, so I made Song Gong feel tired. Song Gong is right, I hope Song Gong will continue to mention me in the future, and I will say everything. β
In fact, although Song Jing's character is admirable, the monarch often doesn't like it, just like the Empress Zetian back then, who was also so angry with Song Jing that she wanted to quit. This Song Jing himself also knows, he has suffered a lot for his integrity, but he is an official for the country and the people, not to make himself liked by the king, so he has never cared.
But today, when he found out that Li Longji liked himself like this, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic and moved.
How can such a monarch not be loyal and wholeheartedly assist?
Xiao Jiangyuan also laughed shallowly at this.
With Li Longji's appreciation and recognition, Song Jingwei became more and more bold. He first selected many talents, and according to their different talents, they were awarded corresponding official positions, so that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were worthy of their duties. At the same time, he was strict in enforcing the law, fair and honest, outspoken to his superiors, and did not show favoritism to his subordinates, and the people also sang praises and praised him.
For a while, the government was clear and the country was stable, Li Longji completely relieved his heart, and let go of his hand, letting Song Jing have full authority to handle state affairs.
Now he has more time. After arriving in the Eastern Capital, he first solved a big problem: the name of his youngest son. He asked Song Jing to help him think about it before, but he was rejected by Song Jing's reasoning, and now he doesn't want to destroy this beautiful relationship between monarchs and ministers, and at the same time find himself unhappy.
Among the concubines, Concubine Wu Xian was the most suitable for him; Among the children, his youngest son is the most beautiful, and he cannot be blamed for his favorite. At this moment, Li Longji is just an ordinary father who loves his young son, and he wants to give his young son the best name, which can not only reflect the meaning of his young son's difference for him, but also give him infinite hopes.
Since Song Jing said that he can't take thirty names like before, choose the best of them, and give him this favorite son, which is unjust, then he won't take so much. Now only the youngest son has been unknown for a long time, and he only takes the best one for him, and does not compare it with the others, so that is okay, right?
So what is the best name? Li Longji pondered and meditated, and finally came up with a-
Li Yi!
Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"
Concubine Wu Xian: "...... It's very special. β
Queen Wang: "...... Pretty good? β
Other concubines: "...... It's good that Saburo is happy. β
Song Jing and the ministers: "...... Someone's son, you can choose your name as you like, forget it, so be it. β
Only the queen's brother Wang Shouyi was preoccupied, and rushed into the queen's palace the next day: "That child's single name has the word 'one', doesn't the queen understand the deep meaning?" β
Queen Wang sighed: "There are many good intentions related to 'one', a blockbuster, soaring into the sky, one in a million, unique, San Lang loves Xiao Jiulang, how did it get to my brother's mouth, and it became an ulterior motive?" β
Wang Shouyi hurriedly said: "My good sister, you have been reading since you were a child, and you can know many meanings, which shows that this word 'one' is indeed a good word!" What are the names of the other princes, and what are the names of the nine princes, and it doesn't matter if the word 'one' is the first of ten thousand. β
