Chapter 156: The Bright Situation
The topic finally came back to it.
The eldest prince looked at the other party holding the sacrificial words with a satisfied look, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know if Your Majesty has summoned the ministers here, but what is the important matter?"
Although Chunqiu knew that the other party was fine, he also wanted to hear what reason His Majesty the Emperor could find to make the eight hundred miles expeditious.
His Majesty the Emperor was still carefully looking at the sacrificial words in his hand, and when he heard the other party asking, he didn't care about the meaning of his words, and directly blurted out: "I summoned the eldest prince to come here to see how this painting is." ”
......
Sure enough, it's okay to find something.
There was no embarrassment on the emperor's face, and the eldest prince's eyebrows and eyes did not reveal the slightest dissatisfaction.
Reluctantly handed the sacrificial words in his hand to the other party, looked at the eldest prince and said softly: "Actually, I also learned that Mr. Ju'an's student came to Taichang Temple today, so I asked the slave to go to the eldest brother to see how that student is, whether he is really qualified to write on behalf of Mr. Ju'an." But I never thought that the eldest brother actually went to Taichang Temple early, and the speed of the eldest brother is really fast, no matter when he can always take the lead. ”
The eldest prince didn't care about the implicit meaning at the end of the other party's words, but held the sacrificial words with both hands, and also nodded uncontrollably with a slight frown.
Although he recognized Liu Chunsheng when he was in Taichang Temple, it was only because the other party was a student of Ju'an that he thought that he must not be a layman.
But he himself had never actually seen Liu Chunsheng write anything, and he was willing to let him inscribe a painting on behalf of Ju'an out of the idea of seeing how capable he was.
It wasn't until he received this sacrificial poem from the emperor's hand that he really felt that the other party was really a material that could be made, just as His Majesty the Emperor said.
Hearing the emperor speak, the eldest prince replied without raising his head: "The minister thinks that this person should be qualified to ghostwrite for Mr. Ju'an." ”
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the other party's appearance and laughed: "Ju An is a dean's adult and student, and his ability to look at people is naturally not bad. Speaking of which, you and I both know that it's not up to you and me to decide whether you are qualified or not. Ju An thinks that he is qualified, that is qualification, and the eldest brother thinks it makes sense?"
Although the Spring and Autumn Period was fascinated, he did not know what the other party was saying, he put the sacrificial words in both hands, bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, if it is an ordinary time, it will be fine." However, the worship is a major event for the people, and His Majesty also needs to read the sacrifice on the spot, so His Majesty should naturally be qualified to comment. ”
The emperor nodded, rolled up the sacrificial words in his hand, looked at the other party and asked with some doubts: "Speaking of which, I am far inferior to the eldest brother in this regard, often people say that reading words is like looking at people, I feel that this is right, the eldest brother might as well talk about it, what can be seen from this painting?"
The eldest prince put his left hand behind him, remembered the words he had just seen, and commented: "His penmanship is smart, not as stable and symmetrical as some of the characters that everyone pursues, but in its square circle, it can be seen that the other party seems to be gentle but is actually extremely proud." ”
The emperor sighed lightly, looked the eldest prince up and down with great interest, and said: "Oh, gentle and proud, not arguing, but arguing, listening to the words of the eldest brother, I think of a person." ”
The eldest prince naturally knew that the other party was talking about himself, so he neither acquiesced nor denied it, but shook his head and continued: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, although this person is proud, but he is not unworthy of others, and he is unwilling to be under others. He is not good at fighting, and his pride is more like being within the radius. ”
His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly, thought carefully for a moment, couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "There is a square circle in my heart, I have my own world, and I make a big fuss in my own world." Gentleness is outside the radius, and the pride is hidden in the radius, this person is really as the eldest brother said. ”
Chunqiu nodded slightly in agreement.
His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a moment and then looked at the other party and asked, "Why doesn't the eldest brother continue?"
The eldest prince did not refuse, and then continued: "I can also see the shadow of Ju'an from those calligraphy, which should be to pay tribute to Mr., but I can't finish the pen at the end of each word in time like Ju'an, so this person is not good at copying, but good at creating." ”
His Majesty the Emperor exclaimed: "He is worthy of being the eldest prince, and he can really read and read people." Such talents should not be buried, in this case, why don't you talk about it again, which official positions in the DPRK and China are competent?"
The eldest prince didn't think too much, nor did he hesitate at all, and after a while, he replied: "In the humble opinion of the minister, the position of the writer of Taichang Temple is the most suitable. ”
The emperor frowned slightly, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he looked at the other party with some confusion and said, "Taichang Temple?"
The eldest prince naturally knew that Taichang Temple belonged to him, but His Majesty the Emperor still didn't expect that the other party not only did not have the intention of fighting, but directly pushed the other party under his command.
According to His Majesty the Emperor's heart, even if the eldest prince can't rob him openly, he should persuade himself to think about it more, and then secretly use the means.
Chunqiu nodded slightly, and replied: "Taichang Temple is a shining place for this person, and it is led by Mr. Ju'an. And the position of author Lang has been vacant for a long time, and it is just right for this person to fill it. ”
The emperor smiled slightly, looked at the other party and nodded with some satisfaction, "Yes, then according to what the eldest brother said." ”
Chunqiu waved his hands and saluted, and replied: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your talent, if Your Majesty is fine, the minister will retire first." ”
The emperor stopped the other party and said, "Why is the eldest brother in such a hurry?"
Chunqiu bowed his head and said, "I'm really afraid of delaying Your Majesty's time." ”
The emperor motioned to the other party not to be polite, and stepped forward to ask, "I heard that someone left the city in the eldest brother's mansion last night, but I don't know what is the important matter?"
Chunqiu did not hide it, nor did he wonder where the other party heard about it, just as the emperor did not wonder why he could get the news from Taichang Temple so early.
Both of them knew that in this position, in this case, it would definitely not be easy to act without knowing it, so both sides did not bother to do anything to cover up.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, a few years ago, I was entrusted by Your Majesty to visit Commander Lin in the south but failed, and left a letter for him at that time but never received a reply, so I asked the other party if he had returned to the city safely, and then told him the situation in the city by the way. ”
is still telling the truth, there has been no concealment, but people can't catch the slightest handle.
The emperor looked at the other party with some sighs, and then nodded, "Commander Lin is the strongest martial arts in my Dachang Dynasty, even if Wangshulou wants not to make a little movement, it is impossible for him, so from the perspective of time, it should be smooth to go back." Then the conversation changed, looked at the eldest prince and asked: "As for some situations in the city, I don't know what the eldest brother said is about aiding Qi?"
The eldest prince nodded, still did not hide it, but replied directly: "If you return to Your Majesty, it is exactly this matter." ”
The emperor laughed twice, "Commander Lin naturally has the right to know about the aid to Qi, the eldest brother is really much more thoughtful than me, speaking of which, I also asked someone to send a letter last night, eldest brother might as well guess, what is written in the letter?"
"The minister did not dare to speculate on the holy will. ”
His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and no longer insisted, but just said, "You can't guess, hahaha." ”
......
Although this is extremely shameless and self-confident, it is also true.
No matter how well the eldest prince is proficient in the way of monarchs and ministers, he can't guess that an emperor will send a letter thousands of miles away, and the above just asked a question, how is it lately?
In the Imperial History Mansion, the conversation between the two continued.
The woman also had a sad face, thinking that it was just the prime minister who asked where her master had gone for official business, but she didn't expect that there was His Majesty behind her.
Cui Ren sighed and said, "If the Prime Minister is suspicious of me, he will definitely come to investigate quietly, and he will not let me know." ”
The Imperial Doctor is not the eldest prince, nor is he the emperor, there are not so many eyes and ears around to guard against others, but the prime minister on the contrary has the ability to do not know the ghost.
The woman was a little puzzled and asked, "So what does the master mean is that the prime minister is reminding the master not to act rashly?"
Cui Ren nodded, "Who is the Prime Minister, how can you not see such a simple plan of discord? The Prime Minister is worried that I will be deceived by His Majesty's interests, which can be said to be a reminder, or a warning, and even more so that His Majesty thinks that the discord plan has succeeded." ”
The reason why it is said to be a warning is because the benefits of the prime minister's position are really tempting.
Choi Ren, the imperial historian, has worked with the prime minister for many years, and knows that the other party can climb to this high position at such an age, and the effort he has put in can be imagined, and when he knows that someone can threaten him, he will not ignore it.
The woman was shocked in her heart, if it weren't for her lord's return from the palace that rainy night, she never thought that she would have to do her best to be an official in this court, and then looked at her lord's back, her eyes were slightly red, and she said with some distress: "My lord has worked hard." ”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Cui Ren's mouth, and he waved his hand to signal that he would not say these common words.
The woman seemed to have thought of something, and said with some hesitation: "Then why does His Majesty the Emperor use such an obvious divisive scheme?"
The wry smile on the corner of Cui Ren's mouth froze, and his brows were furrowed.
First summoned himself to the palace, and then summoned the prime minister.
I didn't hide anything in between, and even said it directly in front of myself on that rainy night.
So much so that both himself and the Prime Minister easily guessed that this was a divisive plan, but what was the purpose of His Majesty the Emperor's doing?
It's just puzzling.
A bright game, in Cui Ren's heart, also gave birth to this kind of thought.
After pondering for a long time, Cui Ren's body stiffened suddenly, and then he muttered to himself in a low voice: "No, no, no, it's the opposite, it's all the opposite." It turns out that His Majesty is not warning me, His Majesty is reminding me that the Prime Minister is really a warning. ”
The woman was puzzled again, "Why is this more and more confused?"
Cui Ren did not explain to the other party.
But he already had the answer in his heart, so it seemed that both the Prime Minister and he had guessed wrong.
Cui Ren stood in the courtyard and felt a chill in his back.
