She knew what was going on, but Fang Xuanling still decided to help Yu Zhining test the emperor's intentions.
Nothing else, mainly because they belong to the same camp. Although he is not from Guanlong himself, he and Yu Zhining are both old ministers of King Qin, so they will naturally help those who can. In fact, in his opinion, if the eldest grandson has no
If Ji is still in Chang'an, Changsun Wuji has great hope for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Unfortunately, he is not here.
The next day, Fang Xuanling brought the official documents from the Ministry of Justice to the Liangyi Hall, met with the emperor, and stated the details of government affairs.
Although this year's imperial meeting has ended, as a minister, his work is not over.
After some exchanges, Li Zhiyun was very satisfied with Fang Xuanling's working ability, so he stayed and ate with him.
The two sat down and Li Zhiyun asked: "Xuanling, do you have any difficulties at home? Do you have enough money?"
"Thanks to your Majesty's care, everything is well in my family."
"Really?" Li Zhiyun teased: "How did I hear that you were often beaten by your wife?"
Fang Xuanling looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly in her heart. Why did the emperor like to make fun of herself for this? In the past, when three or two ministers chatted with the emperor, the emperor would always make fun of him whenever he was present.
"Your Majesty, my wife cares too much about me." Fang Xuanling did not dare to say anything bad about his wife when there was no one around.
"I don't think that's the case." Li Zhiyun said: "This daughter of the Lu family is really quite fierce."
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "My wife is really good-natured, and I like her for that."
"I still think it's better for women to be gentler. That being said, how about I reward you with two beauties to serve you?" Li Zhiyun teased.
"No, no, no, I'm old and can't bear it anymore. Please don't do this, your Majesty." Fang Xuanling hurriedly refused.
Just kidding, if he really brought two beauties home, it would be strange if his wife didn't beat him to death. He wouldn't dare to gamble with his own life.
"Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling, you are also a minister, a third-rank official, and you are so henpecked. It is rare in history." Li Zhiyun said with disdain.
"It's not uncommon." Fang Xuanling said slyly: "I heard that Duke Du was also like this."
Now, it was Li Zhiyun's turn to be speechless. Du Ruhui was indeed henpecked, and he knew this clearly.
Should I say that you two are indeed good friends? You are exactly the same in terms of henpecking.
"You seem very proud?" Li Zhiyun asked speechlessly.
Fang Xuanling snickered and said: "If Duke Du is like this, I have nothing to be ashamed of."
Worse than that, right?
Li Zhiyun laughed and then said: "Actually, to be honest, in my opinion, you are henpecked and you are mostly caring for your family and treating others with kindness. I admire you very much for this. Come on, have a drink!"
"yes."
After eating, Li Zhiyun took Fang Xuanling for a walk on the corridor to eat.
Fang Xuanling had something on his mind and was a little absent-minded. He was thinking about how to test His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards Zhining.
Unwilling to, the emperor asked directly: "Xuanling, among all the princes in the court, who do you think is qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Li Zhiyun has asked many people about this sentence during this period. Fang Xuanling is not the first, nor will he be the last.
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "Yu Zhining, the minister of Zhongshu, Wei Ting, the minister of Huangmen, Wang Gui, the left prime minister of the minister, Su Shichang, the right prime minister of the minister, are all talented people."
Pretty much the same answer. These days, when faced with the emperor's questions, many courtiers give this answer.
Li Zhiyun said: "You are Hu Nong me."
"I don't dare."
"Since you don't dare, then you must decide on a candidate."
Fang Xuanling said: "The choice of the minister of the Ministry of Industry is related to the overall situation of the court. I dare not make false statements, but your majesty can make a decision. However, since your majesty wants me to say it, I will be bold and recommend Yu Zhining, the minister of Zhongshu."
"Why him?" Li Zhiyun asked blankly.
Fang Xuanling explained: "Because Yu Shilang served in Zhongshu Province and was talented, and I have worked with him, so I know his abilities."
"You don't shy away from these things." Li Zhiyun smiled.
Fang Xuanling said sincerely: "It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries and solve problems."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "I know your thoughts, don't worry, I won't blame you."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling asked, "What do you think of Yu Zhining, Your Majesty?"
"Oh, let's talk about it later." Li Zhiyun did not give any information, making Fang Xuanling sigh slightly.
Your Majesty is your Majesty after all, and no one can tell his thoughts at all.
Not long after, Fang Xuanling said goodbye and left.
Li Zhiyun looked at his back, placed his hands on the stone railing, and tapped the patterns on it with his fingers.
Whether Yu Zhining can do it, the answer is yes. In terms of ability, he is fine, but in terms of his background, he is not.
At least not now.
The Guanlong people were suppressed by him with great difficulty, and now it is not a good thing for Yu Zhining to come up.
And he knew that the goal of the Guanlong people was not to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but to be the Prime Minister of the Political Hall.
Is this possible?
It's absolutely impossible now.
"Fang Xuanling can't escape interpersonal relationships." Li Zhiyun sighed slightly, as if he saw the fighting between various factions more than ten years later.
Although he knew this was inevitable, he still couldn't help but feel repulsed. Sometimes the emperor was so contradictory. He wanted ministers to fight each other to the death, but he also hoped that they would listen to the emperor and be loyal and good ministers.
You really want a lot.
"Here comes someone."
"Here." Gao Liangzhong bowed and obeyed.
Li Zhiyun said: "Fang Shangshu is loyal to the court and handles the affairs of the Ministry of Justice in an orderly manner. He is rewarded with a hundred pieces of silk and satin, three hundred taels of gold, and ten kilograms of rock sugar."
"yes."
The prices of rock sugar and white sugar are completely different. They are truly high-end consumer goods. If you give this thing as a reward, you will definitely not lose your share.
After giving the instructions, Li Zhiyun went to the Shou'an Palace to meet Empress Dowager Wan.
When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, they saw two little guys, Cheng Zhao and Jin Yang, dining with their imperial grandmother.
"It seems that I came by accident and disturbed my mother's meal." Li Zhiyun walked in with a smile.
Queen Mother Wan smiled and said: "The emperor is here."
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Li Zhiyun bowed and saluted.
"No courtesy." Empress Dowager Wan said, "We have only had dinner not long ago. If the emperor has not eaten, then he can sit down and eat together."
"Go back to grandma, I have used it."
"Then take a seat." Queen Mother Wan said.
Li Zhiyun nodded, walked to Queen Mother Wan and sat down next to her.
At this time, Jinyang and Chengzhao stood up and saluted the emperor.
"Meet my father."
"No need, let's continue eating."
"Thank you, Father."
Li Zhiyun asked: "Why do you eat so late today?"
"The two grandsons were reprimanded by the empress. They stayed here at the Ai family and did not dare to go back." Empress Dowager Wan said. She usually ate very little and had a short meal time. But today, in order to protect the two little grandsons, she
I can only extend the time and let the two little guys stay with me for a while. In order to prevent the two little guys from going back and being taught more.
"Reprimand?" Li Zhiyun turned to look at his children and asked, "What's going on?"
Jinyang was all talkative and ignored his old father.
Cheng Zhao said bravely: "The child and the emperor want to go out to the palace, but the mother will not allow it."
Li Zhiyun sneered, "You are so brave. You leave the palace as soon as you want. What do you think of this place?"
Cheng Zhao lowered his head with a bitter look on his face.
It's obvious that the imperial sister also wants to go out, so it's unfair for the father to talk about himself.
