Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2213 The crisis in Guanlong

Changsun Wuji stared at the steward in disbelief, and asked, "Say it again?"

The steward shrunk his neck subconsciously, and his guts trembled accordingly. Outsiders called his Patriarch "Changsun Yinren", which probably meant "hiding a knife in a smile", but only the Changsun family knew that this Patriarch was rarely seen in the mansion. Smiling, with a gloomy face all day long, the cold air is pressing, from children, grandchildren and nephews to servants and family members, there is no one who is not afraid, wishing to stay away from three feet away...

And today's incident will definitely make the Patriarch furious, and I just hope that I don't cause disaster: "Going home, the master said, the academy sent back news that it was the list of students recommended by Chu Suiliang, and all of them were rejected."

Changsun Wuji almost gasped for breath, and dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground with a "bang", and the high-quality white porcelain teacup was smashed to pieces, still feeling puzzled, he kicked the table in front of him again. Turning over, he cursed angrily: "Chu Suiliang, you are extremely incompetent! Fang Jun, you are too bullying!"

He is really going crazy!
Anyone can see how the academy is valued by His Majesty. In less than three to five years, the first batch of students will enter the yamen of the three provinces, six ministries and nine monasteries. These students have ability, background, resources, and the support of the emperor. , will undoubtedly become the main force among the future middle-level officials of the empire.

Don't think that only the chief official of the yamen has the final say in the officialdom. If the middle-level officials in the yamen unite, the chief official can be easily emptied!

Twenty years later, these students will become the mainstream in the court!
But there are not many children from Guanlong nobles here...

Don't say that if you can't get in this year, there will be a next one. The officialdom pays attention to one opportunity, one step behind, then one step behind. Except for a few outstanding people, all of them will be suppressed by the "senior" to death.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the nobles of Guanlong!

Taking a deep breath, watching the maid timidly tidy up the broken tiles and table, and then said to the steward: "What happened, please report in detail."

"Here!"

The steward hurriedly reported the news that Chu Suiliang sent back from the academy to Changsun Wuji verbatim.

Changsun Wuji listened silently, with a face so gloomy that water dripped out, firmly suppressing the anger in his heart.

When Chu Suiliang agreed with Fang Jun's strategy of "the minority obeys the majority", he immediately cursed: "It's stupid, it's stupid!"

In his opinion, what is the difference between giving others the power to draw up rules and following the path drawn out by others, and handing over the handle of the knife to others?

Can only be killed by the neck!

I am really blind, actually want to support such a stupid guy to become the spokesperson of the nobles of Guanlong...

Seeing that Chu Suiliang was mean and insidious, he would be a fool when he really went into battle!
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his chest felt stuffy, his mouth was dry, he took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and subconsciously reached for the teacup, only to find that there was nothing on the newly replaced bare desk... The anger suddenly came up again.

"Have some tea!"

Changsun Wuji drank, and said again: "Keep talking!"

"Here!"

The steward continued to report tremblingly.

When Chu Suiliang lifted the table angrily and left with a flick of his sleeves, Changsun Wuji let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and shook his head: "Impatient and impetuous, without a city, he is worthy of great responsibility!"

He was almost remorseful in his heart.

Especially when he heard that Xu Jingzong was already on Fang Jun's side, he knew that this treacherous and selfish villain was taking revenge for the lack of support given by the Guanlong nobles over the years. Since the Guanlong nobles left him idle and ignored him, then he So he changed the gate and slapped the nobleman of Guanlong backhand.

What's more, the ears of the nobles in Guanlong's ears roared, making them dizzy!

It hurts so much!
The maid served tea, then stood aside, and said cautiously: "Master, dinner is ready, do you want to eat now?"

Changsun Wuji looked up at the sky, felt that the night was long and dreamy, so he said: "No need, get the carriage ready, I want to enter the palace immediately!"

"Here!"

*****
Dragon Palace.

His Majesty Li Er had just had dinner in Concubine Yang's bedroom. After returning to the Dragon Palace, he drank tea to digest his food and reviewed some unimportant official documents.

This year, the imperial court stepped up the development of the first generation of Dongting, opening up hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land. Yuezhou, which used to be barren, has gradually become densely populated. Add another land of fish and rice to the empire.

In the early spring, Liu Dewei, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, wrote a letter requesting the relocation of death row prisoners from all over the world to Xizhou, which led to the impeachment of the censor, and was even reprimanded by the censor Zhongcheng Liu Ji in court for "disregarding public opinion and cruel bloodthirsty".Although this decree was implemented in the end, and countless death row prisoners were escorted to Xizhou to enrich the frontier, Liu Dewei was disheartened and retired from office.

As for the candidates for the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Zhengshitang once again plans to transfer Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry...

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a long time, and wrote the Zhu character "ke" on the memorial.

Jing Zhaoyin Ma Zhou wrote a letter, requesting to build the residence of the court envoy in Chang'an City.

In the past, the governors or superiors of each state brought tribute to Beijing at the beginning of each year, and they were called court envoys or examination envoys.Chang'an has no imperial envoys' residences, so these officials have to rent houses to live with merchants, which is inconvenient for them to come and go, and also loses the dignity of the imperial court.

His Majesty Li Er brought up the ink brush again, wrote the word "OK", and made a note: He ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to discuss and coordinate with Yousi to build an official residence for the imperial envoy...

A pot of tea was about to be finished, and most of the official documents accumulated for a day had been reviewed. This is the servant who walked in quietly and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong is outside the gate of the palace and asks for an audience."

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Quickly summon me."

Thinking of what happened at the academy during the day, and reliving the process of Fang Jun, the club's unscrupulous clique, pressing Chu Suiliang to the ground and rubbing against the ground, His Majesty Li Er smiled.

The auxiliary machine has always been far-sighted, and it is really rare to be so restless...

At the same time, I remembered that when the auxiliary machine confronted Fang Jun directly or indirectly, not only did it never have anything to do with Fang Jun, it even blew its beard and stared at it several times.
Recalling the sound of footsteps outside the hall, His Majesty Li Er hurriedly suppressed the smile on his face, slightly nodded at the eldest grandson Wuji who walked in, and said, "It's so late, the auxiliary machine is not resting in the mansion, but what's the big deal to discuss with someone?"

Changsun Wuji choked.

All the children of the Guanlong nobles were blocked by the academy. This is naturally a big deal for the Guanlong nobles, but for His Majesty, I am afraid that they are more happy to see the success, and even take pleasure in other's misfortune...

Gathering his mind, Changsun Wuji said: "There is indeed something that needs to be discussed with His Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand, invited eldest grandson Wuji to take a seat, and asked casually: "Has the auxiliary machine ever had dinner? If not, someone will come over to fix the food and drinks."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "Recently, the anger is strong and the stomach and intestines are uncomfortable. The doctor told me that it is best to have an empty stomach at night. Thank you for your concern."

His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to lift the teapot and personally pour tea for Changsun Wuji, saying: "Why do you want to come into the palace so late, can't you stay until tomorrow?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji took the teacup with both hands, put it lightly on the table beside him without drinking it, sighed softly, and said, "It's not a big deal, Chu Suiliang left at the daytime academy in a fit of anger. , Your Majesty must have known about it, right?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I know, what's the matter, is the auxiliary machine trying to complain to Chu Dengshan?"

"Dengshan" is Chu Suiliang's word...

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "I don't dare! The academy was built by His Majesty, and the money and food needed were allocated directly from internal funds. It is equivalent to an institution outside the imperial court. All the top and bottom are His Majesty's confidantes, representing How can a humble minister control His Majesty's will?"

His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly.

Therefore, the academy belongs to me, so if there is such a scandal as excluding officials, it will also lose my face, right?
What a yin man with a long grandson, if he doesn't speak in a weird way, he won't be able to open his mouth, right...

His Majesty Li Er said: "Auxiliary machine, you and I have been monarchs and ministers for decades. We have both the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, as well as brotherhood. Don't these yin and yang strange words seem to be born? If you have anything to say, you can just say it directly." No matter whether it is reasonable or not, I will carefully consider it."

Changsun Wuji immediately blushed, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

He really didn't expect that His Majesty would speak so bluntly, so bluntly that there was no room for turning around, and he almost pointed at his eldest grandson Wuji's nose and said - talk about things if you have something to do, get out if you have nothing to do , don't play tricks in front of me!
