Chapter 23: Serious consequences
Yang Wei went back to the house for dinner, and on the pretext of going to visit Lanyu, he went out of the house and went straight to the Qingfeng Dart Bureau.
At this time, in the imperial garden of the imperial palace, Emperor Wen was enjoying a rare leisure moment of the day. Every day after dinner, Wen Yanjing would take a stroll in the Imperial Garden. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, even if there is not a single flower in the imperial garden, Emperor Wen will not give up this rare moment to relax.
Suddenly, an old eunuch walked briskly from the gate of the imperial garden. It was the old eunuch Yang Wei had seen who went to the Taishi Mansion with Emperor Wen.
This old eunuch's name is Wan Shun, and Emperor Wen called him Xiao Shunzi, saying that he was Xiao Shunzi, but his age was really not small. was originally waiting by the old emperor's side, even if the old emperor encountered an accident, Wan Shun was not implicated, but became Emperor Wen's most confidant.
In the final analysis, it is because this Wan Shun is not only loyal, but also able to do things, can do things, has eyes, and waits for the emperor comfortably.
When Emperor Wen saw Wan Shun coming, he stopped. Wan Shun walked quickly to Emperor Wen's side, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Cheng De is back." You said that when he came back, let him come and see His Majesty. ”
Emperor Wen nodded and said, "Call him over." ”
Wan Shun bowed and retreated more than ten steps before turning around and leaving quickly. Emperor Wen sat down on a stone bench in the imperial garden, ready to wait quietly. As soon as he sat down, he saw that the Cheng guards had already entered the imperial garden, and they were obviously waiting at the door just now.
This Cheng De is not an ordinary person, but the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard. The Ouchi guards have one commander and two deputy commanders, and Cheng De is one of the deputy commanders.
Cheng De walked quickly to Emperor Wen, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Wen nodded and said, "You tell me in detail about what happened after Chang'er left the palace today." ”
Cheng De immediately told Emperor Wen in detail what happened this afternoon. Speaking of Yang Wei's lecture to Ji Chang, Emperor Wen praised: "This Yang Wei is not only outstanding in writing and well-written, but also so knowledgeable, rare, rare!"
Cheng De knew at this moment how much Emperor Wen valued Yang Wei. Xindao, it seems that this little doll is just around the corner, and if there is a chance in the future, he will have a good relationship with Yang Wei.
After Cheng De explained the content of Yang Wei's lecture in detail to Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen was secretly happy in his heart, and it seemed that it was a wise decision to teach Chang'er to him.
When Cheng De said that Yang Wei accepted Xiu'er's girl, Emperor Wen smiled. This third son is the kindest of all sons, but it is precisely because he is so kind that he is not suitable for power.
At the same time, thinking of the prince, the prince is more than loyal and scheming. Unlike the third son, the crown prince knows what to do, but he disdains to play with intrigue and balance.
The second son is too keen on power, befriending ministers and cultivating party henchmen all day long. Ministers who could not make friends made friends with their sons and nephews. At only 21 years old, he formed a huge force in the government and the opposition.
Emperor Wen was not worried, because as long as he said a word, he could make the power that the second prince had worked so hard to cultivate in the past few years collapse and collapse. It's just that now he wants to use the second prince and make the crown prince rely on him tightly.
After all, he is only in his forties now, which is the age of prime of life. If the prince has been in office for a long time, it is inevitable that he will have different hearts. Only when the power of the second prince is strong enough can the crown prince rely on him and dare not go beyond him in the slightest.
Cheng De saw that Emperor Wen fell into deep thought, shut up and waited quietly. Emperor Wen came back to his senses and said, "Go on." ”
Cheng De went on to talk about how they followed the little beggar and killed the two evil beggars. The more Emperor Wen listened, the more his brows furrowed, and when he listened to Yang Wei's words to teach Ji Chang, he said: "When you accompany Chang'er to the Taishi Mansion tomorrow, tell Yang Wei to tell him to stop in moderation and not let Chang'er get into contact with these dirty things." ”
Cheng De bowed to be. Emperor Wen stood up and said, "Come with me." ”
Emperor Wen was in front, and Cheng De followed Emperor Wen step by step. The two left the Imperial Garden, and Wan Shun followed, walking towards the Qinzheng Hall together. Coming to the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Wen spread out a piece of rice paper. Wan Shun hurriedly stepped forward and added water to the ink that had dried up a little, picked up the ink and grinded it.
After the ink was polished, Emperor Wen took a pen and wrote a sentence on rice paper, "On the pros and cons of the official supervision system." ”
When the ink was dry, Emperor Wen pointed to the rice paper on which he had written a sentence and said to Cheng De: "Tomorrow, let Chang'er hand it over to Yang Wei." Just say that I gave him a topic, and asked him to write an article and give it to me for review. ”
Wan Shun hurriedly rolled up the rice paper and handed it to Cheng De. Cheng De hurriedly took it respectfully, and secretly said in his heart, the weight of this Yang Wei in Emperor Wen's heart had to be re-evaluated.
Emperor Wen waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”
Cheng De held this volume and said that the holy decree was not a holy decree, but more like a temple examination paper, and respectfully withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace. Emperor Wen sat on the dragon chair and fell into deep thought, secretly thinking about how to supervise the hundred officials.
What Yang Wei didn't know was that what he taught Ji Chang today gave birth to Yushi and Jinyiwei.
Yang Wei has now entered the Qingfeng Dart Bureau. In front of the house that allowed Yang Wei to ascend to the sky in one step and never forget it for the rest of his life, Ling Xiaozi stood with his hands in his hands. Yang Wei hurriedly walked over, respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Disciple Yang Wei greets Master." ”
Ling Xiaozi nodded at him, frowned at his two heavy brooms and said, "Disciple, you are too Meng Lang today." ”
Yang Wei looked at Ling Xiaozi in amazement, obviously puzzled.
Ling Xiaozi didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said, "You accompanied the third prince to pick the beggar gang to divide the rudder today." Whether it's the emperor's side or the beggars' side, you can't please go. ”
Yang Wei's eyes widened in shock, how could he kill two people named Huazi and become the rudder of the beggar gang? But when he remembered the good martial arts of the two middle-aged beggars, he was relieved, and this made sense.
But when I thought that I and the third prince had picked the rudder of the beggar gang for no reason, I broke out in a cold sweat. Now, he and Liang Zi of the beggar gang are considered to have a big knot.
Ling Xiaozi continued: "Although it was not directly instructed by you, it is an indisputable fact that you participated in it. What benefit can you get from this? No, you don't get the slightest benefit, and you can only get into trouble.
The beggars and our sect have always been well water and not river water, and sometimes our sect also needs to rely on the intelligence sources of the beggar gang to carry out some cooperation. As the heir to my sect, you went to pick someone else's rudder. Do you think people will pinch their noses and admit it?
You are my apprentice and can't hide it from the high-level of the beggar gang at all, and when the time comes, people don't need to move a finger at all, they just need to spread the news that you are the heir of my Taoism, and you just think about the consequences.
Forget it, I'll help you settle the beggar gang's affairs. But on the Emperor's side, there is nothing I can do. The emperor gave his son to you to teach, but you put him in danger. Don't think that if you are strong in martial arts, you can rest assured that accidents happen to everything.
If there was an accident, the prince would be injured or even killed. You think you have a few lives that you can be killed by the emperor. You can escape, but the Yang family and the Taishi Mansion behind you will be implicated by you. Can you bear it?
Even if the third prince is fine, how do you think the emperor will look at you? I am afraid that in the emperor's mind, the impression of you has been greatly reduced.
You remember, a companion is like a tiger. Everything you do now, think twice. Because there is the Yang family behind you, there is the Taishi Mansion, and there is Taoism. ”
Yang Wei heard it in a cold sweat, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead. He was afraid, although his skills had far surpassed that of the master. But in terms of how to behave in the world, there are many, many things that he needs to learn.
