Chapter 89 Be a magistrate first to grind your temper
How to respond?
He Shen secretly glanced at the old eunuch Wei Zhongxian next to the emperor, but the old eunuch looked intently and pretended not to see him.
This made He Baobao even more unsure. He gritted his teeth and decided to report truthfully.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
He Shen lowered his head and replied: "As soon as I got out of the palace and was illuminated by the sun, my illness became much lighter. After I returned home and took medicine, I was already fine."
He was uneasy, he was worried, he seemed to see a small shoulder bag broken into pieces in the wind, and left him...
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor above suddenly sighed: "The sun is strong in June, the heat is steaming, and the old diseases of the Qing family can relapse. It seems that your body is still a little weak!"
He Shen was startled, as if he realized something, and hurriedly replied pitifully: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I have been weak and sick since I was a child. I have suffered from serious illnesses and minor illnesses. It is not very hot today, but I am already sweating..."
The old eunuch stood next to Li Qian, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
You are so fat, how dare you say that you are weak?
The pigs raised in Guanglu Temple are not as rich as you.
The maids and eunuchs who were left to serve in the political hall looked as pitiful as the adults and almost lost their composure. However, after all, they had received professional training and would not laugh no matter how funny they were.
On the other side, Mr. He also tried his best to close his bulging belly and squeezed his fat round face: "Your Majesty, I am all puffy and fat, and my body is very weak. I am most likely to encounter any kind of disease, disaster, etc... …”
Li Qian pinched his thighs hard, sat up straight, and looked at He Shen with a serious face: "That's it. The He Qing family is really the humerus of the country, and they come to court to deal with political affairs despite their stubborn illnesses."
Fortunately, He Shen is thick-skinned, so someone with a thinner skin can blush.
"I cannot allow my loyal and virtuous ministers to bleed and shed tears at the same time."
Li Qian glanced at He Shen with emotion, then turned to Wei Zhongxian and said: "My dear companion, please pass on my wishes. He Qing's family is weak and sick, and their hard work has made them great achievements. Therefore, I will give you a shoulder carriage for transportation in the palace. "
"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch hurriedly ordered someone to take care of it.
When Heshen heard this, he felt as if he had heard the voice of a fairy, and immediately saluted again: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but I will die in repayment of His Majesty's kindness."
"You don't need to be confused."
Li Qian asked him to stand up with a smile: "I came so early with Qing's family, so I guess I haven't had breakfast yet? Stay with me and eat together."
Of course I have had breakfast with the adults, and the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is breakfast. There is nothing I can do about it, my body and bones are weak, so I need to take more supplements.
But His Majesty the Emperor invites you to dinner, and even if you eat, you have to have another meal.
Mr. He couldn't help but flatter him: "Thank you for your kindness! Throughout history, I have never seen a benevolent monarch like Your Majesty!"
After He Shen got Jianyu, things were really different. He even flattered her louder, but he didn't mention the three boxes yet.
Li Qian smiled slightly: "I am just like a middle-aged person, and I am far inferior to the emperors and ancestors."
Li Qian was not afraid that he would default on his debt. If he pretended to be confused with the fat man and took the three boxes out of the palace again, Li Qian would definitely have a good fight with him.
The eunuchs brought out exquisite snacks and meals covered with gold threads.
There are exquisite pasta desserts, honey cakes, pink and white cakes, bamboo rolls, jujube bean cakes, etc., which are slightly steaming. There are pine nut porridge, duck strips porridge, fruit porridge, and several others in small plates. Simple side dishes, hot shredded tripe, dried tofu, pickled bamboo shoots, etc.
Ever since Lu Bu started pulling out his tendons, Li Qian's appetite had grown a bit bigger.
After a night's rest, he regained some strength in his hands, and at least he could eat by himself without having to wait on him.
I simply filled my stomach and ate most of the meal. These things seemed to have a wide variety, but in fact they only amounted to that much.
"He Qing's house." Li Qian scooped a spoonful of sweet fruit porridge and put it into his mouth, then looked up at He Shen below.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!" He Shen immediately swallowed a mouthful of porridge and raised his eyebrows.
Li Qian said to him while drinking porridge: "Yesterday Gao Shilian, the doctor of the Ministry of punishment, came into the palace, and I met him."
He Shen actually knew about this, but he didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor meant when he mentioned this now.
Gao Shilian relied on sending his niece into the palace before being received by His Majesty, but we don’t have any daughters or nieces.
"When I talked with him, I felt that this person is a talented and ambitious person. It's just that being a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment would be a bit unfair."
"You can think of a way to see if you can raise his position to a higher level and become a minister or something for the time being. That should be enough."
Li Qian swallowed a mouthful of porridge and continued: "By the way, there is also his nephew Changsun Wuji. I think he is also a capable person. Such a person is just a small official, which is really a loss for the imperial court."
"For a young man like him, it would be better for him to sharpen his temper in the position of county magistrate first. What do you think?"
He Shen was already stunned, and the porridge he just swallowed was stuck in his throat.
You have arranged it so clearly, do you still need me to think about it?
People are nepotistic, so if you are not a relative, then you don’t need it, right? My father-in-law and brother-in-law are all promoted?
But, that’s not how it’s done.
Mr. He's face was a little bitter, but he still said: "Your Majesty, I also know the name of Changsun Wuji. Although he is a low-ranking official, he is well-known in Yongshou County and is a rare and capable official."
"It's good if you are an able official."
Li Qian nodded and said with a serious face: "I promote capable officials like him."
He Shen added in his heart that the premise is that the capable official has a beautiful and capable sister.
"I think Yongshou County is good. Let him be the magistrate there and show off his skills!" Li Qian had already chosen a place for Changsun Wuji.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
He Shen felt that he was going to choke to death and couldn't eat anymore. He organized his words and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am actually very optimistic about Changsun Wuji."
"But Your Majesty, Yongshou County is Guo County attached to the capital, and its Zhengtang Magistrate is one rank higher than ordinary magistrates, it is the Sixth Rank!"
"Changsun Wuji has no fame in the first place, and he is just a low-ranking official. If he is promoted to such a high position rashly, he will definitely arouse criticism from the officials!"
Li Qian originally wanted to do it vaguely, but when he heard the criticism from the officials, he became a little frightened.
If it comes to a court meeting, this matter will definitely get messed up.
Li Qian rubbed his chin and thought of another idea: "Isn't it okay as long as we don't promote him rashly?"
"Heqing's family, you can make him a Dianshi today, and then make him the chief registrar next month. He will be promoted to county magistrate next month, and in September this year, he will be the county magistrate."
Well, becoming a county magistrate step by step is not a hasty promotion at all, it is reasonable.
Mr. He was dumbfounded, and now he really wanted to crash to death in this Ziwei Palace.
