Chapter 15 Longevity Hall Into the Night
At the same time, the capital city Gaofu.
Night falls, and the lanterns are swaying with the breeze.
Changsun Wuji wore a simple blue brocade short shirt, with a brisk pace, and a little unconcealed excitement in his eyebrows, and came to the backyard study room and closed the door.
"Uncle! I heard that after entering the palace yesterday, my sister was the most favored by His Majesty."
Gao Shilian was still reading under the lights. After hearing this, he raised his head with a smile on his face and stroked his long beard under his jaw.
"Oh? I know the auxiliary machine, too?"
"It seems to be true."
Changsun Wuji looked a little happy: "I used to hear how difficult life is for the women in the deep palace, and I was worried that my sister would suffer if she went there."
"Since you are paying attention to your Majesty, your life will definitely be nowhere short."
Gao Shilian also smiled: "Yes."
"I was a little worried when I received the imperial palace certificate yesterday. After all, Guanyin maid was only a fourth-rank beauty."
"Later, I gave the money to the little eunuch, and then I realized that His Majesty had only given four beauties, and even the women of Marshal Zhao and General Yang had only given only beauties. Then I breathed a sigh of relief."
Yesterday, the result of Li Gan's enthronement of a concubine was spread outside the palace, which shocked many scholars and officials.
My daughter/granddaughter was actually only registered as a 60-7th grade??
What is the difference between this and slaves in the harem?
Many people were extremely angry subconsciously, and there were even some naughty young men ready to go to the palace to ask for an explanation!
But after going out, everyone communicated.
What? The daughter of the old Zhang family has been named the seventh rank?
What? The daughter of the Liu family is also a seventh-grade girl? That's all right!
What? General Yang’s granddaughter is actually a fourth-rank? He didn’t even get into a concubine!
What? The same is true for the women of Marshal Zhao’s family?
That's it??
What are you doing? Don’t talk nonsense! I really don’t laugh at them!
This is how people’s mentality is, they are not worried about lack of people but are not equal.
After learning that most families are like themselves, these officials have stopped.
There were several families who felt that their daughters were named the fifth-rank talented person and were extremely angry.
Now all I have to do is close the door and laugh.
Gao Shilian was even more laughing.
My niece was named a beauty, but she was proud of her colleagues yesterday for a long time.
"Uncle?Uncle?"
Come back to his senses through thinking, Gao Shilian found that Changsun Wuji frowned and stared at him.
"uncle?"
Changsun Wuji was a little puzzled: "You laughed so strangely just now?"
"Ahem!"
Gao Shilian coughed lightly and glared at Changsun Wuji fiercely: "What do you guy know?"
"The Guanyin maid is so favored by His Majesty, and he cannot be the queen in the future!"
"At that time, aren't you and I still the most powerful ministers?"
"Good, good..."
Changsun Wuji was still a little dissatisfied: "It's a pity that Your Majesty is not very good now and cannot follow the wise master. If you have some achievements, what's the point of being a high official?"
"nonsense!"
Gao Shilian pointed at him with a grudge: "Auxiliary Machine, you have a family now, and you still say such words easily? Do you ignore yourself, can you ignore your wife and children?"
Changsun Wuji was a little embarrassed: "I just said a few words when I was with my uncle, but I would never dare to say it outside..."
Gao Shilian snorted coldly, then scolded: "Besides, how do you know that Your Majesty is not a wise master?"
"According to what you see in the court meeting today, even if Your Majesty is not a wise king, he is definitely not much different!"
"real?"
Changsun Wuji felt a little funny and said, "Uncle, I heard from my colleagues that when His Majesty watches the ministers discuss matters at the court meeting today, it is like watching a play. Your Majesty can do it too..."
Gao Shilian glanced at him: "You only know one but not the other."
"Today, Master Wei Zheng and Master Wei made an advice at the court meeting, and he wanted to imprison a hundred and ten officials. This incident attracted many ministers to argue that Master Wei was traitorous and misleading the country, and instead he wanted to imprison Lord Wei for his crime!"
"What??"
Changsun Wuji was stunned and was a little unbelievable for a moment: "There is such a thing? Could it be that uncle is joking with me?"
Gao Shilian snorted coldly: "How can I have the time to spend time with you?"
Seeing that his uncle's expression was not like a fake, Changsun Wuji couldn't calm down and asked anxiously: "What happened later? What happened later?"
Wei Zheng's direct name spread throughout the court, and many passionate scholars and officials from the capital regarded him as their idol, including Changsun Wuji.
In other words, there are star-chasing people in the capital, and there are fan groups.
Although Wei Zheng didn't know that he had such a group of admirers, it did not prevent these passionate young people from admiring him.
Now, when a fan club member Changsun Wuji heard that his idol was dismissed from office and was extremely angry.
All censors like Lord Wei have been imprisoned. Is there any way to save such a court?
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a sense of depression in his heart that he could not vent.
But at this moment, Gao Shilian's voice came quietly: "Your Majesty ignored the pressure from the ministers and insisted on not punishing Lord Wei."
"What??"
Changsun Wuji's expression stopped, his heart was filled with depression, and it immediately became blank.
"Uncle, you won't hear it wrong, right?"
Changsun Wuji, who came back to his senses, was still a little unbelievable: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty He..."
It’s nothing else, it’s because others’ expectations for Li Qian are too low.
Everyone thinks he is a great fool, which is an inherent impression.
In this case, Li Qian doesn't have to do good deeds at all. As long as he acts like a normal person, he can surprise others.
What's more, with the pressure of all officials and trying to protect ministers like Wei Zheng, a normal emperor may not be willing to do it.
His Majesty has stepped on a toe into the circle of the wise king.
Since I was a child, I heard that the prince was so playboy, but now after ascending the throne, I can do such a thing.
Incredible, incredible!
It took Changsun Wuji a full half an hour to accept this fact, and picked up the tea on the table and took a sip of it.
Those who can participate in the court meeting are at least fourth-rank seniors.
In the past, he saw such a big man's car and sedan chair from afar and stopped to take a look.
I occasionally met my uncle when I was doing business, but I felt extremely majestic and could not look directly at me.
It is the momentum developed by a long-term high position. It is powerful without anger. A look of eyes can make people startled for a long time.
Such a group of big men are competing for advice from the court... Just thinking about it can imagine what a fierce and terrible scene it was.
Anyway, he absolutely can't handle it.
Changsun Wuji touched his nose awkwardly, feeling a little unaware of what to say.
He was just now laughing at the Emperor for coming down, but now he is still too young.
Gao Shilian glanced at him, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Auxiliary machine, will you still be so irritable in the future? Will you draw conclusions lightly?"
Changsun Wuji thought of his excited look just now, and his face turned red: "No, uncle."
Gao Shilian nodded softly: "From today's affairs, although Your Majesty is not familiar with government affairs, he is still in good spirits."
Changsun Wuji nodded in approval, with an extremely solemn expression.
His Majesty the Emperor's actions to protect his idol greatly won the favor of Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the star-chasing clan.
Li Gan, who was far away in the palace, never thought that one day he would become a beneficiary of the star-chasing activity.
On the side, under the faint candlelight, Gao Shilian seemed to have not finished speaking: "It's good to be good in character... but he just has a more rigid means, a little naughty, and the teaching he received during his youth is lacking..."
Changsun Wuji's body stiffened.
...
The Palace of Eternal Life is exquisitely decorated and brightly lit.
After returning from Yulinyuan with Wu Meiniang, it became completely dark.
Li Gan's belly was empty, so he asked Wei Zhongxian to start preparing meals again.
"Big companion! I ate well in Ganyang Hall at noon today, but it was almost the same last night!"
Li Gan looked at Wei Zhongxian with a little dissatisfaction in his expression: "Go and tell Guanglu Temple that if you still give me the same meal as yesterday, I will settle the score with them!"
Chapter completed!
