Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2407 Ambitious
When you hang out in the officialdom, isn't that what everyone wants?
No matter how distinguished you were in the past, His Royal Highness King Jing, but if you couldn't bring benefits to everyone, who would follow you wholeheartedly?
Things are completely different today.

One emperor and one courtier.

In the past, Fang Jun had the military power in his hands, and he made great contributions in conquering the Quartet, and even his followers could share the credit.

Everyone is envious and jealous, but they can only salivate.

Now His Royal Highness King Jing has entered the Military Aircraft Department and has become one of the five big bosses. If there is no accident, he will be in charge of one of the sixteen guards and become a veritable military boss. Others made great achievements and showed off their might.

The Great Tang respected martial arts, and all the people respected martial arts. If one or two military exploits were not attached to him, no matter how prominent the official title was, he would inevitably feel guilty, and his waist would not be straight when he spoke.

Now it is completely different from the past. His Royal Highness King Jing has great power in his hands. Isn't everyone's future military exploits in hand?
Naturally everyone was in high spirits.

Du He suggested: "My lord, this time the dragon enters the sea and the skylark flies into the sky. We all congratulate the lord! We will have a few drinks in the evening, and I wish the lord will make great achievements and rise to the top!"

Everyone responded loudly, saying that they wanted to have a drink to their heart's content, and some people even suggested that they might as well go to Pingkang Fang to call some courtesans and singers to raise the atmosphere.

Li Yuanjing was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again: "No! No! Now the king has obtained His Majesty's permission to enter the military plane, but there are countless people who are dissatisfied in the government and the opposition. At this moment, the king is trembling and treading on thin ice, and must not leave any behind. Tell the truth, otherwise the official position will not be guaranteed, and the trust of His Majesty will be betrayed. How can we feel at ease? We must not hold a big feast today, let's keep a low profile, and there will be opportunities to drink and have fun in the future, not bad at this time."

Qiu Xinggong had nothing to do, he stroked his beard and his triangular eyes shone brightly, thinking that this prince is cautious, but he doesn't know how long this cautiousness can last.Now in a high position, everything will be presented in front of everyone, some shortcomings that have not been paid attention to in the past will be exposed, and the slightest mistake will be infinitely magnified.

All waiting to catch your mistakes and hit them hard to replace them!
Therefore, after reaching a certain level of official position, it is even more difficult to go further, not only because of the limitation of one's own level, but also because as the official position rises, the struggle will present a new level. Get ready, it's not uncommon for a halberd to sink into the sand.

Qiu Xinggong was not optimistic about Li Yuanjing's future.

Du He and the others lamented that it would be a fly in the ointment if such a good event could not be properly celebrated, and they should take the opportunity to spread the word. Players can also boost their prestige and boost morale.

Otherwise, people's hearts will be scattered...

After everyone celebrated, they all dispersed, and Li Yuanjing returned to the back house. The maid was taking a bath and changing clothes, and sat in front of the window drinking tea refreshed.

Dong Mingyue swayed lightly with lotus steps, came to her side gracefully, knelt and sat on the mat, her eyes were watery, and her smile was like a flower: "This time, my family is going to congratulate the lord, the lord has fulfilled his wish, and he will surely make great achievements. Express your ambitions!"

Li Yuanjing knew that he had to be respectful, keep a low profile, and never get carried away with complacency, but just now he was sullen when he was in the front hall, but now he is in the back house, with his beloved woman by his side, and the joy in his heart is really Unable to contain it, he burst out laughing uncontrollably.

How can you not be excited?
Not to mention that the Minister of Military Aircraft represents the supreme power of the imperial military. According to the information he inquired in private, His Majesty Li Er wanted to make sure that the Minister of Military Aircraft could truly participate in Henan's military affairs, not just a puppet. The re-appointment of the generals to ensure that every minister of military aircraft can be in charge of a guard.

Sixteen guards!

Among Li Tang's clan, even Li Xiaogong, who has made great achievements in military affairs, has never taken control of the sixteen guards before. Jun, Chai Zhewei...all of these people are loyal and unambiguous.

Compared with the clan, His Majesty Li Er obviously trusts those comrades-in-arms who have followed him through life and death more, but has always been more guarded against the clan.

Otherwise, Li Xiaogong, who made great military exploits back then, would not have to retreat bravely. He voluntarily requested to resign from all official positions and hand over all military power, willing to lie dormant in Chang'an City and become a rich man...

And now, he, Li Yuanjing, is about to take charge of one of the sixteen guards!

Low-key, humble, cautious...these are all necessary, but military power is the foundation of everything!As long as the military power is in hand, no matter how low-key or humble, there are still opportunities to foster forces loyal to oneself.

As long as there is such a slight possibility, coupled with such a slight opportunity, it is enough to achieve an unprecedented foundation!
Li Yuanjing only felt that his blood was racing and he was extremely excited!

Looking at the gentle beauty beside him, Li Yuanjing stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, sniffing the quiet fragrance, swaying his slender waist, and said in a deep voice: "Everything Mingyue has done for this king, I will do it for you." Keep it in your heart and never forget it! If you can achieve great things in the future, this king will promise you a noble concubine. If you swear to this, you will be destroyed!"

Based on Dong Mingyue's merits, he really wanted to simply give her the position of queen. This woman was loved to the bottom of his heart, and he was willing to share everything with her.

But he understands that this is absolutely impossible.

Even if there is such a day, he must win the support of the entire royal family behind him, and even more needs the position of the queen to win over the aristocratic family to stand in a united front with him and resist those possible opponents.

Dong Mingyue stretched her brows and eyes, smiled gently, and said softly: "What does the prince say? If the concubine can serve the prince and be favored by the prince, this life is enough, and I never dare to expect too much. Can you be worthy of the position of mother in the world? If virtue is not worthy of the position, there will be disasters, and the concubines dare not expect extravagantly, but only wish to be able to accompany the prince as they are now, and the wish is fulfilled."

With a light waist, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and sincerity and affection, Li Yuanjing not only sighed, what kind of luck is this, so that God can send such a strange woman to his side?
*****
Lishan Farm.

His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the school door with his hands behind his back. Behind him were bright glass windows. The sound of children reading aloud could be heard in the room. In front of him was the gentle undulating hillside. Crops rise and fall like waves.

He couldn't help but sighed: "If I can put aside the government affairs in the future, relieve the burden of this whole body, travel in forests and springs, teach children to read, cultivate the farmland with my own hands, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, then this will be regarded as living up to this life!"

Fang Xuanling stood behind His Majesty Li Er, silent.

People are always dissatisfied, and look forward to Shu after getting back to Long.

How many people have worked hard to climb the mountain of power, giving up everything to climb to the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery that overlooks the world, and feel the taste of holding the sun and the moon in their hands, but as an emperor, he has already stood on the top of power, but Yearning for the day when I can be relaxed and comfortable, and no longer care about intrigues, a pot of wine, a fishing rod, a pole of wind and moon, and a cloud of smoke and rain...

His Majesty Li Er didn't get a response for a while, so he turned around and looked at Fang Xuanling, seeing the helpless look on the other party's face, he burst out laughing suddenly: "No wonder Xuanling thinks I'm hypocritical, even I feel very sour...haha! But having said that, Aiqing's spirit is getting better and better now, and her body is looking a little stronger than when she was in court, I am very relieved."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "The government affairs are tedious and labor-intensive. The old officials have already been overwhelmed. With His Majesty's permission to serve, it is as if a mountain has been lifted from the body. All of a sudden, the whole body is transparent and refreshed..." Said Arriving here, not only slightly stunned.

Just now I disliked His Majesty Li Er's friendship, but it turned out to be my turn, isn't it the same?
His Majesty Li Er pointed at him and teased: "Which one of the thousands of officials in the official career is not salivating at the position of Zaifu, and only hopes to reach that height, even if it is only one day, a lifetime is enough. You have no regrets to die! You, Fang Xuanling, have held the position of Chancellor for decades, and now you feel that it is just an official position, and the power and pressure are even greater, but have you ever thought about those people who worked tirelessly for fame and official positions and never gave up? Where are you? Haha, you, Fang Xuanling, are also a hypocritical fellow!"

The monarch and his subjects laughed similarly.

People in different positions have different perspectives on the world, and naturally the scenery they feel is also different.

Although the prime minister of the court is full of honor, favor and power, the pressure and responsibility on his body are by no means ordinary people can bear.

After laughing for a while, His Majesty Li Er turned around, looked at the lush crops all over the mountains and plains, and said slowly: "Before Dongzheng, I intend to reappoint the General of the Sixteenth Guard, what does Xuanling think?"

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and said bluntly: "What about others, I don't need to say anything, I just rely on your Majesty's guidelines to make arbitrary decisions, but the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Jing is not suitable to be the general of the sixteen guards, I hope His Majesty thinks twice!"
