Chapter 71: Flattery

Guan Zhi supported Emperor Yuan Jia to walk in the imperial garden, and walked all the way to the water pavilion.

Emperor Yuan Jia was praised by the courtiers because he came in and did a few things, and he swept away the haze of his own edict, and he was in a very good mood at this time.

Of course, because of the queen's sincere words, now he and the queen have reunited their old friendship, and their relationship is even more than before.

Now busy with political affairs, he rarely feels like a co-ruler of the world. Now that things are busy, it is easy to have leisure, so I will take a visit to the Imperial Garden and fish to cultivate my self-cultivation.

After all, he still has to keep filial piety for the first emperor, and he can't do anything else to entertain him, in the past, he may have secretly exceeded the rules, but now that he and the queen have just sworn an oath, it is not easy to betray it.

"There are a few new pastries over there in the Shangshi Bureau, the slave and maid see that this is in good condition, the emperor will try it, and see if you still like it?" Guan Zhi personally brought out the pastries from the food box and served them diligently.

Emperor Yuan Jia sat by the water pavilion fishing, and when he heard Guan Zhi say this, he also took a piece and tasted it, he nodded, "It tastes good." Not...... I remember that the queen seems to like this taste very much, so let's do it, Guan Zhi, you can send someone to give it to the queen to taste in a moment. โ€

"Huh." Guan Zhi's eyes were slightly sunken, but he still commanded.

Today, Emperor Yuanjia's luck seems to be exceptionally good, and after a while, he caught a fish, which was still a carp.

"Ouch, that's a good sign." Guan Zhi hurriedly helped put the fish in the bucket, and he said again: "The fish jumps over the dragon gate, and the Su Yu is lifted." Now that the Holy Lord has reopened Enke, doesn't it mean that the Holy Lord can select all the talents in the world, collect them for his own use, and rejuvenate the dynasty? โ€

Emperor Yuan Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "You can speak, but how can there be such a good thing?" I also selected all the world's talents, but this is indeed a good sign, and it can be regarded as adding a little joy. โ€

Guan Zhi smiled, and continued to flatter and said: "The slave maid also heard that the emperor's surname over there in the Southern Dynasty is Li." Now that the saint has collected carp in the barrel, in addition to winning all the heroes in the world, I am afraid that there are signs of recovering the Southern Dynasty, sweeping away the Li clan of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and unifying the country. โ€

"Where is this exaggeration?" Although Emperor Yuan Jia said this, he smiled more and more happily, obviously very affected by his words, "But, in the end, it is you who are the most intimate, this mouth, the most pleasing to me." โ€

What he said is right, compared to his mouth, I am afraid that the harem concubines are not as good as knowing.

Guan Zhi smiled more and more attentively, and continued: "The slave is incompetent, and he can't serve the dynasty like the Taifu, and he can only use this little skill to entertain the emperor, as long as the saint doesn't dislike it." โ€

His words seemed to be pointed, but his expression was not obvious, as if he was wronged, but he didn't care.

"Wellโ€”I know what you're trying to say, but it's not long before things happen in Sijon. Uncle Kang has not passed a hundred days. On the side of the Shence Army, if it's not good, I'll pay it back to you now. Emperor Yuan Jia sighed, he lowered his eyes, originally said that after the success of the bandits, he would let Guan Zhi take charge of the Shence Army, but then he made trouble with King Kang, and the Shence Army was not good to return to Guan Zhi for the time being.

Guan Zhi looked deferential and understanding, "The saint is rich in the world, and he can't do what he wants, and the slave and maid are just eunuchs and slaves, how dare they embarrass the saint." It's just that the slave maid sees that the saint has been working hard for days, and she just wants to share her worries for the saint. It's not for the gods. โ€

Emperor Yuan Jia's face was slightly pale, and he looked at Guan Zhi, "What do you want to do?" โ€

"Now that Enke is newly opened, the court and the central government are arguing endlessly about the examiner, and the slave maid thinks that she still knows a few people who can be used, and wants to recommend them to the saint, hoping to share the worries of the saint."

Emperor Yuan Jia thought for a moment and shook his head, "I have agreed with the prime ministers of the three provinces on this matter, and I plan to appoint Taifu as the chief examiner. As for the deputy examiner, I summoned the Taifu the day before yesterday, and I also decided on a candidate, and it is not good for me to insert people in. Besides, there seems to be a lot of objection to you on the students' side now......"

Emperor Yuan Jia paused and looked at Guan Zhi scrutinically, "What do you think of those students' criticism of you?" โ€

Guan Zhi's heart jumped, and he immediately knelt down, and said earnestly: "In ancient times, the ministers who were lonely were often misunderstood, and the slaves and maids also knew it. The status of the slave and maid is humble, so naturally they dare not compare with the lonely minister, but the heart of the slave and the maid is the heart of the king, but the heaven and the earth can learn from it. โ€

Thinking of what Guan Zhi would do in the coming day, Emperor Yuan Jia hurriedly told Guan Zhi to get up, "What are you doing kneeling?" Can I still not know you? It's just that the students are talking about it, although I don't believe it, but it's not good to go against it too much, but I'm going to wronged you. โ€

Guan Zhi shook his head, sighed and said, "The slave is not wronged, it is the saint who is wronged." As the Son of Heaven, the Holy One should be arbitrary, but he must be subservient to others. Although it is an act of benevolence and righteousness, it is too wronged. โ€

Emperor Yuan Jia sighed again, but did not answer this, obviously agreeing with Guan Zhi's words.

Guan Zhi is the best at observing words and feelings, and he continued: "Now is the time for the dynasty to absorb talents, and in the face of criticism from students, slaves and maids do not dare to complain. It's just that these students are also confused in reading, thinking that eunuchs are chaotic countries. But throughout the ages, the eunuchs of the chaotic country have all revolved around the deaf king. The Holy Name is notorious, and everyone in the four realms surrenders, can it still be a faint king? Slaves and maids are more worried about the reputation of the saint than they say about slaves. โ€

Emperor Yuan Jia's face changed.

Guan Zhi was proud, and continued: "Although the scholars are the foundation of the country, the saint is the master of the country. Again...... Although Chen Run was arrogant at the beginning, he did two practical things, and the Southern Jin Dynasty spy in Wangjing was captured by him. According to the secret agent, there are still many secret agents in this capital. The slave maid has stood in the temple for many years, and after several scientific examinations, there are many critics of Weichen, but there has never been such a situation. โ€

"What do you mean......" Emperor Yuan Jia raised his eyes.

"The slave maid thought that this time the student was very angry, afraid that there was a secret agent instigating it in secret, in order to use the slave and maid to slander the saint and damage the reputation of the saint. This has to be guarded against. Guan Zhizheng said.

Emperor Yuan Jia pursed his lips, his face was extremely ugly, his good mood when he first visited the garden was swept away by Guan Zhi's words, and his hand holding the fishing rod clenched slightly, "I will try to open it, for the sake of the overall situation, this matter should not be made big." In this way, you hold my warrant, keep an eye on the students, and if there is a suspected spy, you will order the Shence army to arrest and execute them. It's just that you don't come forward just yet. โ€

Guan Zhi was overjoyed, but his face was impassive, "The slave and maid understand that the slave and maid must act carefully so as not to damage the reputation of the saint. โ€

After leaving from Emperor Yuanjia, a small chamberlain came to congratulate Guan Zhixi, "Congratulations to my father-in-law, and then I have the god to guide the army." โ€

Guan Zhi glanced at him and swept the dust in his hand, "What's there to be happy about?" โ€

It took so much effort to get the qualification to secretly master the Shence Army, and if you have no name and no points, what kind of joy is it?
