As night falls, the lanterns slowly sway in the breeze.
Changsun Wuji wore a simple blue brocade blouse, walked briskly, and with a bit of excitement in his eyebrows, came to the study room in the backyard and closed the door.
"Uncle! I heard that after entering the palace yesterday, my sister is the most favored by His Majesty."
Gao Shilian was still reading under the light. After hearing this, he raised his head with a smile and stroked his long beard under his chin.
"Oh? The auxiliary machine also knows?"
"It seems to be true."
There was a hint of joy on Changsun Wuji's face: "I have heard how difficult the life of a woman in the palace is before. I was worried that my sister would also suffer if she went there."
"Now that His Majesty has paid attention to it, my sister's life will definitely be the same."
Gao Shilian also smiled: "Yes."
"Originally, I was a little worried when I got the certificate from the palace yesterday. After all, Guanyin Maid was only granted the title of a fourth-grade beauty."
"Later I gave the little eunuch some money, and then I found out that His Majesty had only granted four beauties. Even Marshal Zhao and General Yang had only granted beauties to their wives. I was relieved."
Yesterday, the news of Li Qian's canonization of concubines spread outside the palace, which shocked many officials and officials.
My daughter/granddaughter was only registered in the sixth or seventh grade??
What is the difference between this and being a slave in the harem?
Many people were subconsciously extremely angry, and some were even ready to go to the palace to ask for an explanation!
After we went out, we all had some exchanges,
What? The daughter of the old Zhang family has just been granted a seventh rank title?
What? The old Liu family’s daughter is also in the seventh grade? That’s okay!
What? General Yang’s granddaughter is actually in the fourth rank? She’s not even a Jieyu!
What? The women in Marshal Zhao’s family are like this too?
That’s it??
What are you doing? Stop talking nonsense! I really didn’t laugh at them!
This is the mentality of people. They worry not about scarcity but about inequality.
Knowing that most people were like him, these officials stopped their activities one after another.
It turned out that there were several families who felt that their daughters had been awarded the title of fifth-grade talented person, and they were extremely angry.
Now all I can do is laugh behind closed doors.
Gao Shilian was almost laughing.
My niece was named a beauty, and she was very proud of her colleagues for a long time yesterday.
"Uncle? Uncle?"
After coming back from his thoughts, Gao Shilian found Changsun Wuji frowning and staring at him.
"uncle?"
Changsun Wuji was a little puzzled: "Were you laughing so strangely just now?"
"Ahem!"
Gao Shilian coughed twice and glared at Changsun Wuji fiercely: "What do you know, you brat!"
"Guanyin is so favored by His Majesty, there is no way she will become a queen in the future!"
"When the time comes, won't you and I both be supreme ministers?"
"Good or good..."
Changsun Wuji was still a little dissatisfied: "It's a pity that your Majesty is not very good now. He can't follow the Ming Dynasty. What's the point of being a high-ranking official after he has accomplished something?"
"nonsense!"
Gao Shilian pointed at him angrily: "Auxiliary machine, you have a family now, and you still say such words? If you don't take care of yourself, how could you not take care of your wife and children?"
Changsun Wuji was a little embarrassed: "I just said a few words when I was with my uncle. I would never dare to say it outside..."
Gao Shilian snorted coldly, and then reprimanded: "Besides, how do you know that His Majesty is not the Ming Lord?"
"According to what I saw in today's meeting, even if Your Majesty is not a wise king, he is definitely not far behind!"
"real?"
Changsun Wuji found it a bit funny and said: "Uncle, I heard from my colleagues that at today's meeting, Your Majesty watched the ministers discuss matters as if they were watching a play. In this way, Your Majesty can also..."
Gao Shilian glanced at him: "You only know one but not the other."
"Today Wei Zheng, Mr. Wei, made a remonstrance at the court meeting and wanted to imprison a hundred of his officials. This incident caused the ministers to argue, saying that Mr. Wei had made treacherous remarks and harmed the country. Instead, he wanted to imprison Mr. Wei!"
"What??"
Changsun Wuji was stunned and couldn't believe it for a moment: "Is there such a thing? Is my uncle joking with me?"
Gao Shilian snorted coldly: "How can I have the time to entertain you?"
Seeing that his uncle's expression did not seem to be hypocritical, Changsun Wuji could no longer calm down and asked eagerly: "What happened next? What happened next?"
Wei Zheng's name spread throughout the court, and many enthusiastic sons of officials and officials in the capital regarded him as their idol, including Changsun Wuji.
In other words, there are still groupies and fan groups in the capital.
Although Wei Zheng didn't know that he still had such a group of admirers, it didn't stop these passionate young people from worshiping him.
Now, when Sun Wuji, the leader of the fan club, heard that his idol had been dismissed and imprisoned, he felt heartbroken and extremely angry.
Imperial officials like Mr. Wei have been imprisoned. Can such a court be saved?
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling that there was a suffocation in his heart that was difficult to vent.
But at this time, Gao Shilian's voice came faintly: "Your Majesty, regardless of the pressure from the ministers, insists on not punishing Mr. Wei."
"What??"
Changsun Wuji's expression was stagnant, and the depression in his heart was gone, and he suddenly went blank.
“Uncle, you didn’t hear wrong, right??”
Changsun Wuji, who came back to his senses, was still in disbelief: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he..."
It’s nothing else, but other people’s expectations of Li Qian are too low.
Everyone thinks he is a foolish king, this is the inherent impression.
In this case, Li Qian doesn't have to do good things at all. As long as he behaves like a normal person, he can surprise others.
What's more, under the pressure of hundreds of officials, trying to protect a minister like Wei Zheng is something that no normal emperor would be willing to do.
Now His Majesty has stepped a toe into Mingjun's circle.
I have been told since childhood that His Highness the Crown Prince is such a playboy, but now that he has ascended the throne, he is actually able to do such a thing.
Unbelievable, unbelievable!
It took Changsun Wuji a full quarter of an hour before he reluctantly accepted this fact, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
The minimum person who can participate in the court meeting is a fourth-grade official.
In the past, when he saw the cars of such important people from a distance, he would stop and look at them for a while.
Occasionally I met him when I was working with my uncle, but I felt so majestic that I couldn't look directly at him.
It is an aura developed from being in a high position for a long time. He is not angry and has authority. One look can make people frightened for a long time.
Such a group of big shots are arguing with the government... Just thinking about it, you can imagine what a fierce and terrifying scene it would be.
He definitely couldn't handle it anyway.
Changsun Wuji touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Just now he was laughing at the Emperor's presence, but now that he thinks about it, 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 and irritable in the future and jump to conclusions?"
Changsun Wuji's face turned red when he thought of how excited he had just been: "I can't, uncle."
Gao Shilian then nodded slightly: "Judging from today's events, although your Majesty is not knowledgeable about government affairs, his character is still good."
Changsun Wuji also nodded in approval, his expression extremely solemn.
His Majesty the Emperor's actions to protect his idol greatly won the favor of the star-chasing leader Sun Wuji.
Li Qian, who was far away in the palace, never imagined that one day he would be the beneficiary of star chasing activities.
On the side, under the faint candlelight, Gao Shilian seemed to have not finished his words: "It is good to have a good heart... but his methods are a bit stiff, his temper is a bit naughty, and the teaching he received when he was young is a bit lacking..."
Changsun Wuji stiffened.
…
The Hall of Eternal Life is exquisitely decorated and brightly lit.
After bringing Wu Meiniang back from Yulinyuan, the sky had turned completely dark.
Li Qian's stomach was empty, so he asked Wei Zhongxian to start preparing food.
"Daban! The food we had at Qianyang Palace at noon today was acceptable, but the food last night was much worse!"
Li Qian looked at Wei Zhongxian with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Go and tell Guanglu Temple that if you still send us the same meal as yesterday, I will settle the score with them!"
