Chapter 35: Is he too naïve?
In the blink of an eye, it is early summer, and although Luoyang in May does not have the magnificent peony festival in later generations, it is just as green and beautiful.
During this time, Liu Zhi lived quite well, although his days in the palace remained unchanged, reading books, listening to politics, and watching music every day......
But life outside the palace is so happy, his shop has long been opened, the business is not salty or light, but it is overcrowded every day, and most of them come to prostitute for nothing.
As a result, Dong Ban met many poor students, and often asked him for homework, making the bookstore like a school.
Because he went to Fan Chao to eat dog meat two times in three days, Liu Zhi made a lot of friends who were three sects and nine streams.
He was generous, and he was cheerful and funny, and at first he saw him as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xiaolangjun, and he still had the intention of taking advantage of him.
After a long time, they gradually got together, and most of them really had a relationship with him.
The court was also quite calm, and under the deliberate rectification of Du Taiwei, the atmosphere was much better than before, and a considerable number of young and promising middle and low-level officials were also promoted.
Liang Ji's recent focus is not on the court, he is busy building gardens, buying dowries for Liang Nuying, and the number of recommendations given a year ago has also played a role, and there is an endless stream of ordinary officials who come to ask for money and money.
In short, he received money softly, and his spending was like running water, without restraint.
The relationship with Captain Du is quite peaceful so far, but there is an episode in it.
Liang Ji's subordinate Xuangong back then, looking for friends and trusting relationships, sent a large amount of gold and silver treasures over, and wanted to regain an official position.
Liang Ji, who has a short hand, attaches great importance to this, and personally finds Du Qiao to recommend him, hoping to make the palace a scholar.
Du Qiao originally hated this kind of favoritism, but the recommendation quota was in his hands, and there were many things, as long as it was not too excessive, he could only turn a blind eye.
But Du Qiao's memory is extraordinary, and when he heard the name of the palace, he remembered the past five years ago, and a key criminal who embezzled tens of millions of dollars like this would never be hired according to the regulations.
Therefore, he righteously rejected Liang Ji's request, which made him very faceless.
What hurt him the most was that part of the money he had received was also returned, and he temporarily arranged a position in the General's Mansion for the palace, which could be regarded as perfunctory.
After this incident, the disagreement between the two became even more serious, almost to the point of incompatibility, but under the mediation of the Empress Dowager Liang, the apparent calm was temporarily maintained.
Liu Zhidu just watched these things silently and did not express any opinions, after all, he is not qualified to give guidance on today's state affairs.
Now, everything is on the right track, and Liang Ji is no longer keeping an eye on him.
But on this day, an unexpected event broke the peace.
After the morning of the pilgrimage, a note came directly to his desk through the hand on the left.
The last one is Lang Zhong Yuan, who is not a few years older than him, and he is only nineteen this year, which is considered to be a young and promising person, and his future is very good.
In the song, it was suggested that Liang Ji should resign from his official position, so as not to incur a catastrophe in the future because of his "high merit". He also quoted scriptures and counted the miserable fate of many relatives and ministers after their dictatorship.
This, this, this...... Was he too naïve?
Let Liang Ji take the initiative to resign? This is too fantastical, people are like the sky, why.
Okay, you Yuan, you have this idea, and you are not afraid of death, just put it forward directly, why do you have to give me this puppet emperor.
Also, I don't know what the relationship between Zuo Changshi and him is, it must be good, otherwise he wouldn't have specially handed him a chapter.
Even after a round of purging, the palace is still full of Liang Ji's eyes and ears, and once this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will harm Zuo Yi.
Alas, what should he do with this note now?
Looking at the recital on the desk, Liu Zhi bared his teeth and took a breath, what a headache, hand him over, I can't bear it, and it also chills those courtiers who have a sense of justice.
Don't pay it, Liang Ji will know sooner or later, and I'm afraid he will hold a grudge against him at that time.
After thinking about it, he decided to call Zuo Yi over first to ask, if he can get into the position of Zhongchang, his person should not be simple, but he has never dealt with him, and he doesn't know who he is.
"Your Majesty is called, I don't know what happened?"
Zuo Yi is in his forties, thin and peaceful, and his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Have you seen this piece?"
Liu Zhi shook the piece in his hand at him.
"No, but what's the problem?" He immediately realized that something was not going well.
"Let's take a look first."
As he spoke, Zhang Rang gave it to him, and Zuo Yi was stunned, and said calmly: "The minister is illiterate." ”
Illiterate?
Thinking about it, it is actually ordinary, and it is normal for a few people who can enter the palace to be eunuchs from wealthy families and have never studied.
Liu Zhi glanced at Tang Heng not far away, he and Zuo were both henchmen of the Queen Mother, so there should be no problem.
"Yuan Langzhong suggested that the general should take the initiative to resign and go home."
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Yi, who had been calm and composed, slowly turned pale.
"How could this kid be ......?"
The rest of the words are out of words.
"Has this letter been passed by a second person, or who else knows the contents?"
Hearing Liu Zhi's words, the dark eyes on the left rekindled and said eagerly.
"No, the minister guarantees that no one knows the contents, and when he handed it over to the minister, no outsiders saw it."
"No outsiders see it?"
Liu Zhi sensitively caught the loophole in his words.
"At that time, only his friend Hao Xu was there, and they had a close relationship and were like brothers, so there should be no problem."
"That's good, Yuan Lang is young and vigorous, and he is also a good intention, I am only afraid that the general will misunderstand, so I want to cover up the past for him, I don't know what Zuo Changzhi thinks?"
Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to make another wave because of this matter, and make the city stormy again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for this ignorant child......"
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Yi hurriedly came in outside, "Your Majesty, the general is here, saying that he wants you to seek justice for him." ”
Both of them were shocked, how could it be? He's too well-informed, he's just received it.
"Zuo Changshi, please avoid it."
Liu Zhi immediately pointed to the direction of the back door, but before he raised his foot on the left, the door was kicked open with a "bang".
"Your Majesty, now even a hairy child dares to bully me into, am I really incompetent Liang Ji?"
Before the others came in, they were already yelling in their mouths, completely ignoring Liu Zhi, the so-called emperor.
At this time, there was no way to escape, Liu Zhi saw that his eyes were round and violent, and he knew that he couldn't be good today.
secretly suppressed the note with one hand, and said with a calm smile: "The general is mighty and majestic, who is so bold and dares to bully you, I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding." ”
Liang Ji didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and when he saw Zuo Yi standing next to him with his eyebrows lowered, he sneered: "Hehe, if Zuo Changshou has an opinion on me, just take it to the court and discuss it, what?" Still want to yin me? ”
In the face of his aggressiveness, Zuo's face was as pale as dirt, "General, this is really a misunderstanding, you can't listen to others to sow discord." ”
