Chapter 8 Father and Son
Thinking of the complicated look Li Xuanshi gave him when he left, Ye Xiang sneered in his heart. It's too late for you to discover anything and there's no time. Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Xiang still looked at Li Xuanshi's back respectfully.
"Li Xuanshi is really my father's caring person. Thanks to her this time." Ye Xiang knew how much the man in front of him doted on Li Xuanshi. This was not only because of historical records but also because Ye Xiang had known him for so many days. Although he couldn't be aboveboard.
He was trying to inquire about something, but Ye Xiang still found out something from Li Lan. This person who was close to the crown prince was very envious of Emperor Taichang's attitude towards Li Xuanshi, and had mentioned it to Ye Xiang countless times. Maybe he could enter the palace.
None of these women are simple people, or perhaps this complex environment has changed those originally innocent girls.
At this time, Ye Xiang naturally had to put on a show in front of Emperor Taichang. This might be because he was in the world and couldn't help himself. As expected, Emperor Taichang was very happy after hearing Ye Xiang's words. His beloved son and his beloved concubine were getting along well.
It's very harmonious. Even if I have something, I can leave with peace of mind.
While Ye Xiang and Emperor Taichang were talking, the wheel of history did not stop. It was still running forward vigorously, but I didn't know who would be crushed by this wheel next.
The weather is sunny and the breeze is gentle. The weather in Beijing has been a bit strange in recent years. In the past, it would be so hot during the dog days of summer, but now it is already very hot. There are very few pedestrians walking on the street, and occasionally one or two are walking in a hurry.
.
Cabinet, at this time, the cabinet has started a new day's work, but everyone's face seems to be covered with a layer of gloom, and the entire cabinet looks like a dying old man with no life.
In the duty room, Liu Yijing and Liu Yijing, who were from the cabinet university, were chatting with Han Kuang. As cabinet bachelors, the two had a very good relationship. They were both Jinshi and they represented the same interest class. Naturally, they had no
What is the main contradiction?
Liu Yijing is an elderly man with a snow-white beard. Although he is not young, he is in good spirits. However, his face does not look good today. He gently placed the tasteless tea on the table and said:
"Mr. Han Ge, I heard news from the palace today that the emperor's health is deteriorating and he can no longer get out of bed. Emperor Shenzong passed away not long ago. Do we still have to experience such a thing? I heard
Say." Before Liu Yijing finished speaking, Han Kuang interrupted him with his hand.
Han Kuang looked a little nervous and quickly stood up and closed the door, then slowly sat back and said carefully: "Mr. Liu, it's better to be careful, the walls have ears!"
"Haha", Liu Yijing laughed a few times, pointed at Han Kuang and said: "A gentleman is magnanimous, why should Mr. Han be like this? I, the Ming Dynasty, have never blocked the way of speech. Besides, as cabinet ministers, you and I,
Discussing government affairs is your duty, so why do you do things that are just under the sun?"
Han Kuang was not angry at Liu Yijing's accusation. The relationship between the two was very good, and some of the jokes were harmless. After thinking for a while, Han Kuang said: "These are troubled times! If a gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, we are still
It’s better to be careful.”
"Well, we all know the style of His Highness the Crown Prince. If the Emperor is true, what should we do?" Although Liu Yijing's words were cryptic, they were also very clear.
Han Kuang's face changed slightly, and he pondered for a moment and said: "What can we do at this time? If one day comes, who can be Huo Guang, and who dares to be Huo Guang?"
Seeing Han Kuang's dejected look, Liu Yijing also sighed deeply and shook his head feebly.
Just when the two of them didn't know how to continue, there was a sudden knock on the door. The two looked at each other in shock, and Liu Yijing said lightly: "What's the matter? Didn't you tell us not to disturb us if there is nothing important?
?"
After listening to Liu Yijing's words, a somewhat nervous voice came from outside, saying: "I'm telling you two adults that Li Kezhuo, the minister of Honglu Temple, wants to see you."
Liu Yijing frowned after hearing the answer from outside. He had no friendship with Li Kezhuo, so why did he come here? He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Han Kuang aside.
Seeing Liu Yijing looking at him, Han Kuang shook his head, indicating that he had not asked Li Kezhuo to come here. The two looked at each other and stood up gently, adjusting their makeup before opening the door.
Standing outside the door was a cabinet clerk. At this time, the clerk's head was covered with cold sweat. He cursed Li Kezhuo to death in his heart. At the same time, he also hated himself. Did he really never see Qian?
Is it possible that a mere ten taels of silver is more important than your own future?
"Go! Bring him here." Looking at the scribe in front of him, Han Kuang snorted coldly and sounded a little unkind.
The clerk, who was prepared to endure the scolding of the two cabinet ministers, heard this and looked at Liu Yijing and Han with some astonishment, followed by ecstasy. After saying yes, he quickly ran out. Look.
Liu Yijing, the scribe who was walking away, shook his sleeves fiercely and shouted loudly: "Shuzi."
Although Han Kuang was also very dissatisfied, he did not say it out loud. He had no choice but to shake his head and said, "Mr. Liu, please don't do this. He is just a small official."
After listening to Han Kuang's words, Liu Yijing immediately turned around and looked at him, his eyes bright but silent. However, Han Kuang knew that his old friend was angry, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Why does Mr. Liu look at me like this? I have
What's wrong?"
"You can see the whole picture just by looking at a small part. I have clerks in my cabinet who are inseparable from cabinet bachelors like you." Liu Yijing said coldly, then turned his face to the side and stopped talking.
Looking at his old friend's appearance, Han Kuang could only smile and shake his head. He knew the temper of his old friend very well. Although he said this, he would not really be angry with himself.
Just when the conversation between the two reached an impasse, another old man in purple robe came here. This was an older man with a very good look. He smiled knowingly when he saw the two of them and said
: "What's going on, you two? Are you in trouble again? Can you talk to me about it?"
Seeing the old man approaching, Liu Yijing and Han Kuang saluted the old man at the same time and said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Fang."
"You two, why do we meet like this every day?" Although he said this, the old man accepted the two people's salutes calmly, and the smile on his face became thicker. This was not only a salute to him, but also a sign of his authority.
A kind of affirmation, because he is Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the current cabinet.
"As the saying goes, courtesy should not be wasted. Mr. Ye is my minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he should be treated as a courtesy by us." Han Kuang stood up slowly and said with a smile. Compared to Liu Yijing's uprightness, Han Kuang's character was different from that of the past.
