Chapter 71: Silly
Guan Zhi supported Emperor Yuanjia as he walked in the imperial garden, all the way to the water pavilion.
Emperor Yuanjia was in a very good mood because he came in and did a few things, and was praised by the courtiers, which cleared away the haze of sin and his own edict.
Of course, because of the Queen's sincere words, now that he and the Queen have rekindled their old relationship, their relationship is even stronger than before.
Nowadays, he is busy with political affairs, and it is rare for him to feel like a co-owner of the world. Now that he is so busy with things, he finally has some free time, so he goes to the imperial garden and goes fishing to cultivate his moral character.
After all, he had to keep his filial piety for the late emperor, and could not do other things for entertainment. In the past, he might have secretly violated the rules, but now he and the queen had just made an oath, and it was hard to break it.
"We got some new cakes from the Shangshi Bureau. I think they taste good. Your Majesty, try it and see if you like it?" Guan Zhi personally took out the cakes from the food box and served them diligently.
Emperor Yuanjia was sitting by the water pavilion fishing. When he heard what Guan Zhi said, he also took a piece to taste. He nodded, "It tastes good. Hmm... I remember that the queen seemed to like the taste very much. So, Guan Zhi,
You will send someone to give it to the queen to try later."
"Hey." Guan Zhi's eyes darkened slightly, but he still ordered.
Emperor Yuanjia seemed to be very lucky today. He caught a fish in a short while, and it was a carp.
"Oh, this is a good sign." Guan Zhi hurriedly helped put the fish in the bucket, and said at the same time: "The fish jumped over the dragon gate, Su Yu won the election. Now that the Holy Spirit has reopened Enke, doesn't it mean that the Holy Spirit can choose all
Can you use the world’s talents for your own use to rejuvenate the country?”
Emperor Yuanjia was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile: "You can speak, but how can you do such a good thing? You have chosen all the talents in the world, but this is indeed a good sign, and it can be regarded as adding a bit of joy.
"
Guan Zhi smiled and continued to flatter: "I have heard that the emperor in the Southern Dynasty is named Li. Now that the emperor has collected the carp in the bucket, in addition to winning all the heroes in the world, he may also regain the Southern Dynasty and wipe out the Li family of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
, a sign of unification."
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Although Emperor Yuanjia said this, he smiled more and more happily. He was obviously very pleased with Guan Zhi's words, "But after all, you are the most considerate, and this mouth is the most capable."
To please me."
What he said is indeed true. Even the concubines in the harem might as well know about it.
Guan Zhi smiled more and more attentively, and continued: "I am incompetent. I cannot serve the country like a master. I can only use my meager skills to entertain the emperor. As long as the emperor does not dislike me."
He seemed to be referring to something in his words, but his expression didn't show it at all, as if he was wronged but didn't care.
"Sigh - I know what you want to say, but the incident in Xirong hasn't passed for long. Uncle Kang Wang hasn't passed his hundred days yet. As for Shence Army, it's not good to return it to you now." Emperor Yuanjia sighed.
, he lowered his eyes. He originally said that after successfully suppressing the bandits, he would let Guan Zhi take charge of the Shence Army, but then the incident with King Kang happened, and it was not easy for the Shence Army to be returned to Guan Zhi for the time being.
Guan Zhi, on the other hand, looked respectful and considerate, "The Holy One is rich in the world, but he cannot do as he pleases. I am no more than an eunuch's servant, so how dare I embarrass the Holy One? It's just that I see that the Holy One has been working hard all day long, and I just want to share His worries."
Don’t plan an army for God.”
Emperor Yuanjia's face turned pale and he looked at Guan Zhi, "What do you want to do?"
"Now that Enke is newly opened, the court is arguing endlessly about the examiners. I think I know a few people who can be used, and I want to recommend them to the Holy One, hoping to relieve His Majesty's worries."
Emperor Yuanjia thought for a moment and shook his head, "I have already agreed with the prime ministers of the three provinces on this matter and plan to appoint the Taifu as the chief examiner. As for the deputy examiner, I summoned the Taifu the day before yesterday and decided on the candidate, so I can't interfere anymore.
People go in. Besides, there seems to be a lot of objections to you among the students now..."
Emperor Yuanjia paused and looked at Guan Zhi carefully, "What do you think of those students' criticism of you?"
Guan Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt down and said sincerely: "In ancient times, lonely ministers were often misunderstood by others, and I also know this. I have a humble status, so naturally I dare not compare myself to the lonely minister, but my loyalty to the emperor is...
Heaven and earth can be used as a guide."
Thinking of what Guan Zhi would do in the future, Emperor Yuanjia hurriedly asked Guan Zhi to stand up, "What are you doing kneeling down? Can I still not know you? It's just that students are talking about it. Although I don't believe it, I can't go too far contrary to it.
, I’m going to wrong you.”
Guan Zhi shook his head and sighed and said: "My slave is not wronged, it is the Holy One who is wronged. As the Son of Heaven, the Holy One should be arbitrary, but he still has to submit to others. Although it is a benevolent and righteous act, it is too unfair."
Emperor Yuanjia sighed again, but did not answer these words. Apparently, he also agreed with Guan Zhi's words.
Guan Zhi was the best at observing people's words. He continued: "Now is the time when the country is attracting talents. Faced with criticism from students, slaves do not dare to complain. It's just that these students are also confused in their studies and think that eunuchs are bringing chaos to the country. But throughout the ages
, the eunuchs of the chaotic country all surround the ignorant king. The holy name of the Holy One is well-known, and everyone in the four realms surrenders, how can he still be a foolish king? Compared with them talking about slaves, the slaves are more worried about the reputation of the Holy Master."
Emperor Yuanjia's expression changed.
Guan Zhi felt proud and continued: "Although the scholars are the foundation of the country, the emperor is the leader of the country. Furthermore... although Chen Run was arrogant at the time, he did two practical things, which made him look forward to the Southern Jin Dynasty in the capital.
He was the one who arrested the spy. According to what the spy said, there are many spies in the capital. The slaves have been standing in the temple for many years. After several scientific examinations, there are many people who criticize the humble minister, but there has never been such a situation."
"What do you mean..." Emperor Yuanjia raised his eyes.
"My servant is thinking that this time the student is so angry that there are spies secretly instigating it, in order to use my servant to slander the Holy One and damage His reputation. This must be guarded against," Guan Zhi said sternly.
Emperor Yuanjia pursed his lips and looked extremely ugly. His good mood when he first visited the garden was wiped away by Guan Zhi's words. He clenched his hand holding the fishing rod slightly, "The trial is about to begin, for the sake of the overall situation."
For the sake of thinking, this matter must not become a big deal. In this way, you hold my order and keep an eye on the students. If there are any suspected spies, I will order the Shence Army to arrest and execute them. But you don’t come forward for the time being."
Although Guan Zhi was overjoyed, his face remained calm, "I understand, I must act carefully to prevent the reputation of the Holy One from being damaged."
After leaving the presence of Emperor Yuanjia, a young chamberlain came to congratulate Guan Guan, "Congratulations, father-in-law, for winning the army again."
Guan Zhi glanced at him and swept the whisk in his hand, "What's so gratifying?"
After wasting so much effort, he was qualified to secretly control the Divine Strategy Army. What kind of joy is it to have no name and no distinction?
