Chapter 35: Make a Minister
After Li Linfu left, Li Longji laughed excitedly.
Fighting wits and courage with these old guys who hold great power is the basic lesson every day, but there has never been such a refreshing fight for Li Linfu as today.
Seeing that Li Linfu was like a defeated rooster and hung his head, Li Longji was happier than ever.
Originally, Li Linfu was the bitter master today, plus the crown prince Li Heng and Twenty-one, in this matter, it was difficult to get rid of suspicion, and Li Longji was still thinking about how to appease Li Linfu.
Unexpectedly, this twenty-one, who spoke playfully, was soft and rigid, and in a few words, he wrapped Li Linfu in, this is the royal demeanor and majesty, and this thing is done refreshingly.
Li Longji was overjoyed, Li Heng couldn't understand it, and asked suspiciously: "Father, Li Xiang is the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, the second son's life hangs by a thread, and just now he was pushed by 21 to say a few words, Li Xiang must be in pain, so frustrated, is it harmful to my Datang?" Why is my father laughing? ”
Li Longji said with a smile: "Li Heng, let me ask you, whose country is the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Heng said: "Of course it's your father?" Why did my father ask this? ”
Li Longji said: "Since you know that Datang is mine, who has the final say in the world of Datang?" ”
Li Heng also grinned and said: "Father, this problem, my father should not take the school minister's examination, naturally my father is full of words." ”
Li Longji smiled and said: "Yes, I have the final say, Li Linfu governs the country well and does things solidly, needless to say, but today, don't you think that he is not good?" ”
Li Heng was stunned and muttered: "This, Erchen thinks that Li Xiang is depressed in his heart and complains a few words, which is understandable. ”
Li Heng rarely said a good word to Li Linfu.
For Li Linfu, Li Heng hated him so much that he wanted to win him over, because it was obvious that Li Linfu was his father's favorite minister, and it was more difficult to bring him down than to ascend to the sky.
Li Longji said: "Wrong, there is a difference between a monarch and a minister, no matter how capable he is, no matter how powerful he is, it is also given to him by me, a Li Jaw, life and death are insignificant to my Tang Dynasty, but, as a minister, his words and actions must be decent." What should I be guilty of suspicion on my head? ”
Li Heng was enlightened, suddenly realized, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said: "My father is wise, my father not only taught Li Xiang a lesson, but also cleared his son's suspicion, and his son wished his father a long life. ”
Li Mu has been watching the excitement from the sidelines, listening to Li Longji's lecture to Li Heng, and pretending to be indifferent.
Li Longji said a lot, and when he saw that Li Mu was absent-minded, he asked, "Twenty-one, did you understand what I said?" ”
Li Mu shook his head and nodded again, which made Li Longji sigh.
Li Mu said: "Father, these clever means of governing the country and controlling people, only the father can play it, and it is also necessary for the prince and brother to study, I forget it, my brain is not enough, I still like to toss those gadgets with scientific and technological content." ”
Li Longji laughed, Li Heng also grinned, and even Gao Lishi covered his mouth and laughed.
Li Longji said: "You see, this twenty-one, just lost the old thing Li Linfu, turned around and didn't admit it, and said that he didn't have enough brains? Good son, I like your temperament. ”
Li Mu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your praise." ”
Li Longji said: "Li Heng, twenty-one, you have remembered for me that the Tang Dynasty is our Li family, and the majesty of the royal family is not only in the worship of thousands of people and the praise of the Quartet, but also in the equal emphasis on grace and might, from all kinds of small things, to show my royal dignity." ”
Li Heng and Li Mu said in unison: "Father Xie, the child remembers." ”
Li Longji turned around, looked at Gao Lishi, and said: "After all, Lord Li is an important minister of the country, and he can't be lazy, he just slapped someone, and then he should be rewarded with a candy." ”
Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”
Li Heng asked, "Father, what is the explanation of the candy you are talking about?" ”
Li Longji said: "I am thinking about who to send to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit and greet Lord Li's second son." ”
After Li Longji finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu, Li Heng and Gao Lishi, and also looked at Li Mu, and the thoughts of the three of them were unexpectedly unified this time.
Li Mu pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Father, Prince, Brother, Father-in-law, what do you mean by looking at me?" Can't you push me into the fire pit? ”
Li Heng said: "Brother Mu, you are too worried, how can the Prime Minister's Mansion be a fire pit?" My father just taught us, the Tang Dynasty is all our father's, it belongs to the Li family, are you still afraid of Li Xiang? Didn't you just say something sharp? ”
Li Longji nodded and looked at Li Mu playfully.
Li Mu complained: "It was an impulse just now, plus others wronged me, I was anxious, and I fought back, now going to the Prime Minister's Mansion is equivalent to delivering door-to-door, and I must not be besieged by Li Xiang and his group of staff?" I'm not going. ”
Li Heng said: "Brother Mu, don't you want to share your father's worries? You go to be the most suitable person. ”
Li Heng kept instigating Li Mu, because he was afraid that Li Longji would send this kind of bad errand to himself, no matter how nice he said, and Li Linfu, stay away, so as to protect himself, unless Li Linfu takes the initiative, Li Heng will not dare to act rashly.
Li Mu explained: "It's not that I don't want to share my father's worries, there is another reason, I owe Li Xiang silver, I went to visit the patient, Li Xiang and the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely despise me, but smear my father's face, Brother Prince, are you right?" ”
Li Heng said with a smile: "You are the best at making excuses, borrowing money is a private matter, and at this time, your father sent you on a business trip, so you can't put it off." ”
Li Longji couldn't help but say: "Twenty-one, I think what Li Heng said is reasonable, and you are indeed the best candidate. ”
Li Mu muttered: "Father, I have no official or title, at this time, Li Xiang is angry, and I robbed me a few words just now, am I really afraid?" ”
Li Longji smiled and said, "You will also be afraid?" It doesn't matter if you don't have an official title, you are the second son sent by me to visit Master Li, which is equivalent to being for your father, so don't be afraid. ”
Li Mu scratched his head and suddenly asked, "Father, do you mean that I am equivalent to the minister of the Qin Mission?" Everyone wants to kowtow to me when they see me, and they are all afraid of me to death? ”
"Hahaha, hahaha." Li Longji raised his head and laughed, and Li Heng and Gao Lishi also laughed from ear to ear.
Li Longji said: "Twenty-one, you are still the most slippery, you are asking me for power, but you want it skillfully, yes, you will visit Li Jaw as a minister." Gao Lishi, spread my will, and sent a team of forbidden troops to escort the twenty-one, and the momentum was a little bigger. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Colliers stepped back and sent the message.
Li Mu saw that Gao Lishi was gone, shook his head again, and sighed again, Li Longji didn't pay attention to him, but felt that this twenty-one was more interesting.
Li Heng's heart was very uncomfortable, wasn't it just to visit a sick person, this twenty-one, he was so thick-faced that he had to be willing to go as a minister, and what was even more infuriating was that his father actually agreed?
Li Heng regretted it very much, he pushed Li Mu just now, he was really stupid, thinking that Li Mu was going to visit the patient as a prince, and Li Linfu must have been angry immediately when he saw Li Mu.
Now as the minister of the Qincha, Li Linfu still has to be respectful? Thinking of this, Li Heng said: "Father, I thought about it repeatedly, if I really don't want to go, I am willing to go for my father?" ”
Li Longji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go?" ”
Li Heng said: "It's not that Erchen wants to go, but I may go more easily than Twenty-one." ”
Li Longji frowned, shook his head, and said, "You are the crown prince, what kind of thing is Li Jaw?" It's just Li Linfu's second son, in terms of official position, a Si Chu Lang, it is like a small sesame mung bean, not suitable, not suitable, twenty-one, what do you say? ”
Although Li Mu felt that going to see patients, especially going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, was a chore, he took retreat as an advance and became a minister, wanting to be majestic.
Unexpectedly, Li Heng, a fool, began to push himself out, and when he saw that it was profitable, he immediately competed with himself, what kind of thing?
Li Mu said: "My father has just taught me, and the little things show the royal majesty even more, and the child thinks that this kind of thing, just like diplomatic etiquette, pays attention to reciprocal reception, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visits the second son of the prime minister, which is too condescending and aggrieved, and it is easy to encourage the greed and delusion of some ministers, please ask your father to decide." ”
