Chapter 781: Poor Prince (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
"Ma didn't dare to say anything good or bad, but Ma thought that His Majesty had now toured eastward, going to Mount Tai to perform the ceremony of sealing Zen, and had already issued an edict before the tour, ordering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country, and we would assist, but according to Lord Chu's wishes, His Royal Highness the Prince would do nothing, and directly ask His Majesty, then dare to ask Lord Chu, then His Majesty ordered His Royal Highness the Prince to supervise the country and temporarily take charge of state affairs, what is the meaning?"
"You!" Chu Suiliang was provoked by Ma Zhou's cold words and stood up: "Master Ma, Chu is loyal to a certain piece of loyalty, for the sake of my Tang Jiangshan Sheji, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and unfamiliar with government affairs, and this matter is very important, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handles it a little improperly, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Tiele tribes, at that time, what will Your Majesty do, and how will the world treat His Royal Highness the Prince?!" ”
Li Zhi sat on the couch, squinting his eyes, and seemed to be embarrassed, this poor baby, until now, is still the same as before, without a little opinion, I sighed deeply in my heart.
"Do you not do it because you are afraid of making a mistake?" Ma Zhou was also not to be outdone, and shot back: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is responsible for supervising the country, and should be able to deal with this matter with full authority. ”
Quarrel, at first it was just Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang, but gradually, the courtiers here began to divide into two factions, and the quarrel was so loud that they were full of joy, one or two were all there to quote scriptures, and the spit was flying, especially Chu Suiliang, maybe the calligraphy was too good, and the fingers were very similar to the orchid fingers when pointing at people.
The old guy had foam at the corner of his mouth, but he was still very persistent in arguing with Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou did not show weakness, and fought back with the corner of his eye, Li Zhi sat on the couch in a daze, I don't know if this guy is making a fool, or deliberately pretending to be stupid and good-looking ministers perform to sell vegetables and bargain.
But soon Li Zhi couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to persuade everyone to calm down, but the prince's voice was soft and weak, and he was ignored by these emotional ministers, and Li Zhi had no choice but to turn his eyes on me for help.
------------------------------------------------ I finally couldn't help it, it's not a matter if I continue to quarrel like this, after all, Li Zhi is the crown prince of the Tang Empire, although he has not yet ascended the throne as the emperor, but now, Uncle Li has delegated power to Li Zhi, and these courtiers do not seem to take Li Zhi, the prince who has not made any achievements in politics and military at all, in their eyes.
This annoyed me a little, and I didn't speak, but quietly bypassed the noisy ministers and walked to Li Zhi. "What to do?!" Li Zhi gently pulled my clothes, with a bitter face, I only whispered a few words in Li Zhi's ear, but Li Zhi didn't seem to react, and looked at me in a daze, this guy, forget it, help him again, I reached out and moved Li Zhi's tea to the corner of the table, put it very hanging, and then squeezed my eyes at Li Zhi, which means, look at you.
Li Zhi finally understood, twisted his eyebrows, with a look of displeasure on his face, raised his hand, and slapped it the desk, snap! There was a muffled sound, followed by a choking sound, the teacup shattered on the floor, and the tea stains splashed on the ground, I hurriedly took two steps back in fear, and saluted the prince who was grinning and rubbing his palm: "The ministers are rude, please calm the anger of the thunder." ”
At this time, the noise disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if someone had pressed the switch, and everyone's attention was finally focused on His Royal Highness the Prince, who was trying to make a serious expression and gloomy face. "The ministers are rude, please calm the wrath of the thunder." Ma Zhou and the others were also shocked that their behavior was indeed excessive, and hurriedly bowed to Li Zhichang and apologized.
Li Zhi stood up and raised his hand to help: "You love Qing to be exempt, Lone is not to blame, this is not above the court, since everyone is working hard for state affairs, each has its own opinions, it is inevitable that there will be disputes, but please pay attention to your own image." ”
Everyone felt that their faces were a little red, at least I saw that a few courtiers did, but Chu Suiliang seemed to be still unsatisfied, and after bowing his hand to Li Zhi, he wanted to say more, but Li Zhi raised his hand to stop him. "Since the matter is very important, Gu and Zhu Qing naturally can't make hasty conclusions, so let's do it, all the ministers should step back first, write down your own thoughts, and when the morning comes, submit them to Gu, and Gu will naturally make a decision."
"Your Ministers obey." Ma Zhou first saluted Li Zhi, and others could only second, and then, I withdrew from the palace gate with everyone, when Chu Suiliang went out of the palace gate, he glanced at Ma Zhou, snorted coldly and hurried away, Ma Zhou smiled faintly, still calm and calm, and returned to see me slowly walked out of the palace gate, and bowed to me slightly: "Lord Fang, Ma is polite." ”
"Don't dare, Xia Guan has seen Master Ma." I smiled at this Ma Zhou, whom Uncle Li valued very much. The other courtiers didn't stay long, but after seeing us say hello twice, they left one after another. "I don't know what Lord Fang thinks, today's controversy is more stable for Lord Chu's opinion? Or ......" Ma Zhou looked at me without blinking.
This made me stunned when I asked, why are you two arguing about my, and putting it on my head? "Doesn't Lord Fang have any ideas?" Ma Zhou still had a smiling expression, and when he saw that I didn't seem to react, he sighed lightly: "You and I are both subordinates of the prince, and we should help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make meritorious contributions, and now His Majesty has edicted His Royal Highness to supervise the country, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is bad in government affairs, I am afraid it will be ......."
I understand, this Ma Zhou is also filming Li Zhi's fart, however, this fart is very clever, through me, the prince's master, into the prince's ears, will inevitably increase Li Zhi's good impression of him, which makes me can't help but sweat a little, it seems that Uncle Li can fancy the talents, sure enough, none of them are good at their peers, and Ma Zhou's expression today is just to further narrow the distance with the prince. And Chu Suiliang, this guy is in the same group as the eldest grandson Wuji, and I also know their thoughts and purposes, what they hope most is that the prince is better like this, so that after Uncle Li is long lived, they can become a generation of kings and ministers who have been famous for thousands of years.
I saluted Ma Zhouchang: "Thank you Lord Ma for your advice, the lower officials think that in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a plan in his heart, otherwise, he will not let me deal with it again when he is equal to the early dynasty tomorrow." "This is simply bragging, Li Zhi has a fart idea, this time, maybe he has sent someone, and when I am alone, pull me back to find a way, I dare not say others, who is Li Zhi, who has been close to him for so long, if he is not even clear about this, it is better to squat in the pit and suffocate himself.
------------------------------------------------ heard what I said, but Ma Zhou exhaled softly. "That being the case, Ma said goodbye!" Ma Zhou clasped his fist at me and walked briskly forward, and in front of him, there seemed to be several courtiers waiting for this important minister who assisted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in supervising the country.
"Congratulations to Master Ma." Looking at Ma Zhou's back, I also breathed a sigh of relief, put up my hands, and slowly walked forward, and when I walked halfway, Ma Zhou and the others had long disappeared, thinking that these guys must be in a hurry to go back and write a tirade, so that tomorrow morning the dynasty can win Li Zhi's support.
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind me, and when I looked back, sure enough, a guard of Li Zhi hurried to my side to salute, and said respectfully: "In the prince's teaching, please return to the palace, the prince has something important to discuss with the prince." ”
"Well, I see, you can lead the way." I nodded, and walked back as the guard walked back, and after a while, he had already entered the hall, and Li Zhizheng was walking around the hall with his hands behind his back with a worried look on his face.
I took two steps forward: "Weichen Fang Jun, see His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Zhi looked back and saw that it was me, and his face was happy, but after looking around, he cleared his throat: "Shizun is exempt, the student has a few questions, I want to ask Shizun, Shizun, please sit down, and wait to get some meals." Besides, you don't need so many people to wait here, just a few of you can go down. Li Zhi's finger pointed at the eunuchs.
finally quieted down, and Li Zhi let out a long breath: "Brother Jun, this prince is really not good." ”
"Who told you that the prince is good?" I gave the guy a blank look and sat up straight, for there were already a few slim figures coming in from outside the door, walking towards us with good food and wine.
Well, yes, the dishes are much more sumptuous than before, it seems that Li Zhi will enjoy more than Uncle Li, after all, this guy has been messing with me for a long time, and his mouth is also nurturing, no, the cold skin jelly is on the table. Stretched out his chopsticks and threw them into his mouth, well, a little chewy, it seems that the skills of the imperial chef are really good.
