Chapter Twenty-Three: The Transformation of Lee Guang

Li Guang naturally didn't know how the official family talked to the two new scholars at night, but although he had various temper problems and was a traditional scholar in his bones, he was a person who listened to persuasion, otherwise the Zhao official family would not have kept him for so many years.

What's more, Chen Gongfu is right, the official family has promoted him again and again, from a small official to the middle of the imperial history for two or three years, and he has been respected for eight years, and even the change of the white horse has not forgotten to be specially retained, and later he was ranked among the thirty-six heroes of Jianyan. With such a knowing grace, he wants to do things instead of seeking fame.

I also felt justified when I heard Liu Yan's words, as the saying goes, you can't raise troops when you are angry, and in the same way, when the king is angry, you have to learn Wei Zheng, that is called looking for death.

Not to mention that it didn't achieve the effect, it also made the emperor bear a notoriety, so he went home quietly, and sorted out tomorrow's recital before staying, but he couldn't sleep for a long time, and his mind involuntarily recalled the scene of the defense of Nanyang.

At that time, it was really bitter, the emperor took Zai Zhi to personally arrange the city defense, and Mrs. Wu (now Wu Guifei) in the harem boiled hot water and cooked with the attendants every day to take care of the wounded.

But at that time, the official family was so young, no matter how much resistance and offensive they faced, they were calm and calm. Neither refused to obey and went to Xiangyang, nor did Lu Zhongsu be allowed to investigate the guilt. Although he was really worried when he saw the Zhao Guan's recent demeanor at that time, he was really worried in his heart, but he faintly felt in his heart that it was not impossible for the official family not to go to Xiangyang.

Of course, this is not to say that he thinks that the king is dead, but as the palace servant at that time, Li Guang learned about the situation in Nanyang, the materials are sufficient, and there is room for the city defense, and it is even more exaggerated, he really didn't expect that the Zhao Guanjia would dig a reservoir in the city in advance to store charcoal?

There are also redundant residents who have been set aside early, and the city has actually become a large military camp, so it's no wonder that the officials always scold Wenchen for not knowing the soldiers!

At that time, seeing that the Jin people's various offensive methods were repeatedly restricted, he sometimes felt that even if the city walls were all gone, relying on these military workshops in the city, Nanyang seemed to be able to wear down with the Jin army! And the Great Song Dynasty will never repeat the shame of Jingkang and fall into the danger of losing the country again!

Li Guang looked at the hazy white fish belly outside the house, and secretly thought to himself that in fact, it should have been from that time that he, the old courtier before Jingkang, really obeyed the lord, not only because of his bloodline, but because he believed that it must be him who led the Great Song Dynasty out.

There was no court meeting the next day, but Li Guang did not dare to let the official family wait, although the spirit was insufficient, but Li Guang still got up early, put on the official uniform and went out to Yanfu Palace, but was led to the west side of Yanfu Palace by Lan Jue, in the martial arts canteen, Zhao Guanjia looked refreshed, wearing a sea blue Yanju suit, seeing Li Guang, he took the initiative to greet: "Li Zhongcheng can have breakfast, do you want to come together." He also pointed to the braised bean brain, a large bowl of duck soup and cold dish hors d'oeuvres on the table.

The king of a country is still so simple today. Li Guang felt more and more that he should be tactful for a while, after all, when he arrived at this place, he couldn't help but see the good apricot trees transplanted by Emperor Taishang Daojun from all over the country, and I don't know how many people were forced to destroy the apricot hills, and when I think of Emperor Taishang Daojun, everyone will be much more tolerant of the official family.

But then again, Li Guang is a political figure after all, and he will not lose his great principles because of a momentary emotion, but he drank a bowl of duck soup with the official family after thanking him, and then said: "The minister dared to ask the official family, why was he so angry yesterday, and left the ministers and the new science and technology to return to the harem without saying a word?" ”

Zhao Guanjia didn't hide anything about this, said it directly, and asked rhetorically, "I am honest with Zhongcheng, and I also ask Zhongcheng to tell me the truth, whether it is in the south or Tokyo, are there really so many people who miss the reign of the two saints?" If this is the case, anyway, now that the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, is it necessary to welcome the Yuan Saint back to the palace to inherit the unification again. ”

"Your Majesty is cautious, don't talk nonsense."

"It's okay, apart from you and me, there is only one Lan Daguan here, I really want to hear the truth."

Li Guanghuan looked left and right, and found that it was really as the official family said, there were no idle people, so he also suppressed the emotions in his heart, and tried his best to say calmly: "Why did the official family come out of the heart, as early as the time of Baima Shaoxing, you said that no one could move your throne as early as when Tokyo was restored!" Although the minister was promoted by the Yuansheng, he knew that if today's revival is the work of the official family, he believes that the future reappearance of the Han and Tang dynasties is none other than the official family, and the minister not only dares to say it here, but also dares to say it to anyone. ”

"I believe in Li Qing's family."

Li Guang was surprisingly calm and talked eloquently, "But even so, the minister still has to say that although the minister doesn't know whether there are still people in Tokyo or the southeast who have resentment, but yesterday's behavior was really inappropriate, and the old customs of the Emperor Taishang Daojun are not advisable, and if Your Majesty abolishes it, the ministers will obey the order." But the official family is now in a peaceful situation, and even Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, as a general of Tiance, is different from the emperor, should the official family also manage their temper. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jiu suddenly smiled, "Li Qing's family has wanted to say this for a long time." ”

"Yes" Li Guang became more and more calm, "The minister knows that he is recommended by Li Gongxiang, and in terms of the official family, he is not as intimate as Zhao, Zhang, Hu and Liu, and he is not a famous minister such as Zong Zhongwu, but the official family still accommodates the minister, which is nothing more than that although the minister sometimes can't control his temper, he still has to know the major rights and wrongs, and Taoism cannot be completely suppressed." ”

"But the minister should remember the grace of the official family, and he must fulfill his duties. To say something you don't like to hear, the temper of the official family is sometimes really like the Daojun Emperor, but you regard the world and the anti-gold as more important than anything else, and you have added a bottom line to yourself at the root, so the ministers also admit it. It's just an official family, now that the times have changed, you could have been a person who could have been Tang Taizong, don't be limited to the achievements of Emperor Guangwu. As Wang Shipeng said in his strategy, even if the prestige of the official family cannot be compared with Taizu Taizong, if this prestige is abused, it will definitely bring disaster to the country. The ministers and the officials have worked hard for ten years, and they have endured each other for the country, but they are not just to see that day! ”

Zhao Jiu waited for a while, and made sure that the Imperial Historian had finished speaking, before he got up and said meaninglessly: "If it weren't for the face today, I'm afraid I'll think that this was said by Duke Lu to me." ”

Li Guang sighed and said, "The official, the minister is now sixty people, how can he change something after half a lifetime." ”

"Yes, waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable." Zhao Guanjia suddenly used the poem of people's feelings about the love between men and women, but in Li Guang's ears, he only thought it was a metaphor, and he wanted to congratulate the official family on his new work, but suddenly heard Zhao Jiu say: "Li Zhongcheng, yesterday's incident, I am very displeased, Zhai Qing of the Ministry of Rites and Wu Minzhong of Taichang Temple have already played a plea. But what I didn't expect was that the people behind the scenes who were stirring up this matter were actually Wan Qiao, the envoy of Jingxi Economic Strategy, and Lu Zhi, the servant of the Ministry of Officials. ”

Li Guang was stunned for a while, fortunately he put down the tea set just now, otherwise he would have lost his honor on the spot.

To tell the truth, except for Zhai Ruwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is a bit of a disciplined person, the remaining three are fools and lucky people in Li Guang's eyes, and it is not strange to do anything to please the official family.

But the problem is how disgusted the officials are with the chaos when Emperor Daojun was in power, and which of the courtiers doesn't know which one doesn't know? You are not the old forces, and Lu Zhi is the vanguard of the main battle, what are you doing here?

Zhao Jiu seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I have decided to take charge of the Ministry of Industry and build a new capital, so the privy deputy will be vacant." In addition, the Yanjing Mansion Yin, the Military Department Shangshu, and the Southeast Envoy are all vacant, Li Qing knows why I am suspicious, right? ”

"The minister is stupid, and he still doesn't understand too much."

"It doesn't matter, I have already decided that I will issue an edict in the near future, with Li Guang as the southeast envoy in the imperial history, to deal with the road affairs of Zhejiang and Fujian. Let's see who wants to use my dragon chair for profit. ”
