On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Po was absently looking through documents in his study.
There were piles of documents piled there, and he read a lot every day, but the number never decreased. He felt that his writing skills were rapidly deepening, and he could read each article without the help of two journals.
It's like reading thousands of volumes and writing with a spiritual rhythm.
If he were asked to write a few articles about government affairs at this time, he would be able to write them in a decent manner. Of course, he would not be able to overcome the hurdle of using allusions.
But at this moment, he truly realized that the king's affairs could never be finished. He could only let his ministers do their best to share the burden, but the final decision-making power must be firmly in his hands.
The struggle before was a bit intense and made everyone uncomfortable. It was not actually because he wanted to be lazy, but it just meant that he was not used to the role of King of Han yet.
Now that a few months have passed, he is gradually getting ready mentally and physically. He can clearly realize that the heavy government affairs are not an obstacle. Who said that the king of the county must bury his head in the case, without any of his own
What about time?
No matter what matters are reported by the ministers, they actually have important points. As long as they understand clearly what matters can be transferred to Zhongshu and Liubu, what matters need him to make a decision, and what matters he needs to consider again and again.
This is obviously an improvement. It is higher than the previous state where he only wanted to have some free time and then caused big problems for his ministers. For Li Po, who has not experienced the education of the clan system, he can quickly realize this.
It's really rare.
Of course, Li Po was endowed with unique adaptability and could always find a more suitable way to deal with the world based on his own identity and status. According to the judgment standards of later generations, Li Po was undoubtedly an extreme realist.
He gently put down the document and pushed it forward. The attendant immediately picked it up and handed it to Wang Qi not far away.
"Reconsideration..." Li Po said two words casually, then thought for a while and then said: "Wen Shu is gentle, thanks to what they said, we need a more vigorous title. If it fails, it will be transferred to the palace and will be sealed by the Queen herself."
.”
Yes, this is Zhongshu giving Li Chun a title. A princess is appropriate. This is true, but the title does not suit Li Po. This is the second time. As the saying goes, there are only three things to do. If you try again, you can't do it.
When Li Po came up with a name that he liked, he could only leave a blank and pass it to Empress Xiao in the palace, so that the empress could figure it out on her own.
For the ministers, this is obviously not a big deal, but it brings shame on people.
And Li Po himself didn't actually take it too seriously. For nobles these days, it has become almost a routine for the titles to change, and each one has its origin. For him, it is undoubtedly a very annoying thing, because you
I simply can’t remember this person’s previous title.
On the contrary, it is not as good as those of the royal family. Changing the title once or twice is almost the limit, and then it is abolished and becomes a common people, so why do you need to remember it?
Of course, now he is just trying to scare him, and he doesn't care to get serious with his ministers over this trivial matter. This year's war has completely occupied his mind, and he will definitely call his ministers to discuss it today.
But before that, he had to think carefully. This habit has never changed. It is obviously different from handling government affairs. Once it involves military strategy, he will not think that other people's ideas are better than his own.
This is due to the self-confidence accumulated from leading the army in battles for many years and conquering every attack. Most generals since ancient times have this characteristic.
Wang Qi didn't care about this, she just tried her best to translate the text for this "hands-off shopkeeper".
Now the division of labor between her and Yang Xu is clearer. Since she came back from the Wang family's home, the study room of the Han Palace has completely become her territory, and she no longer has to show up at the previous meeting place. Yang Xu is writing and recording things there.
Yang Xu also served as the secretary of the army, taking over all the "hard work" of the general.
The biggest tigress in the Han Palace was a little dissatisfied and mocked her husband for finally having the pleasure of wearing red sleeves with fragrance. Li Chun and Ashi Tianxiang were fanning the flames nearby. Li Po was not the least bit embarrassed and even retorted, "If any of them are
If he wants to stay in his study without moving anywhere, he, the King of Han, might as well change his office. How big a deal is that?
Well, Li Po was indeed a little unjust. He was busy with official duties, and he really didn't enjoy the beauty of the red sleeves. Instead, he had more troubles. The women in the inner house talked about it, and the rumors outside seemed to have become
Pink.
The talented woman's fine handwriting gradually gained fame among her ministers. It is said that a perverted guy in Zhongshu stole the reply letter from the King of Han to Zhongshu, framed it, and hung it in his bedroom.
Enjoy it day and night.
When he heard about this, Li Po immediately cursed him, "You are considered a talent..."
Of course people who steal official documents must be dealt with, but this is a literary thief, not a copycat, which makes it difficult for people to do it, because this is an age when reputation is more important than life, although if they really have to choose, most people are afraid of it.
You have to choose the latter, but the world is such a guide.
That man has a really good reputation, loves calligraphy and painting, and occupies a place in Jinyang's literary circles. If you deal with it impartially, it is possible that a good story that people talk about will turn into a trend of verbal and written criticism of the King of Han.
This is actually a contest between literati and powerful people. There have been countless such things since ancient times.
Li Po was more "angry". He didn't think too much about it. He just felt that it was really not a big mistake. Of course, with his ministers around, he would not fail to understand the connection. His eyes rolled, and the evil idea came to him.
Isn’t it a good story? Then I will add another one to you. You like calligraphy and painting, and your writing must be good. I heard that the literati were starving to death when they were poor, because they could make a living by selling calligraphy and painting, so I will punish you by disguising yourself.
After a while, I went to the market to sell calligraphy and paintings for a few days.
If you earn enough ten silver coins and you are capable, how about I, the King of Han, build you a library if I don't care for myself?
This is actually turning a criminal case into a bet between the king and his ministers. This kind of thing happens often, and it is exactly the tune that literati like.
As a result, a dignified Zhongshu copywriter appeared in Jinyang Market. It was at the end of the year. It was said that business was really good, and what made Li Po satisfied was that people these days are very "simple" and do not care about reputation.
He would always think about cheating and cheating. It would be a little difficult to earn ten silver coins, but it would be a matter of time.
Don't take this matter lightly, but it has many benefits. Once the bet is completed and His Highness the King of Han can fulfill his promise, it will bring a perfect end to this good story, and it will definitely spread and have a great influence on the Jin Dynasty.
It is undoubtedly an encouragement to the literati, not to mention the benefits in terms of reputation.
This is actually the utilitarian calculation of later generations. Even if people today understand the benefits, they will not declare it verbally. They will only praise it when they hear it, saying that it is our good fortune to be a wise minister.
Well, by the way, this literary thief is called Xue Yuanjing. At the beginning of last year, he and his uncle Xue Shou were captured in Puban and imprisoned in Jinyang Prison for half a year. The uncle and nephew couldn't stand it anymore. Please help the king of Han.
The subordinates.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, both of them were released. Xue Tsang took over the Criminal Department. After Yang Gongren and Wang Ze quarreled, he sent this guy to Wang's side to study criminal law. He is still buried in the case files. He is tired.
He looked like he was about to expire.
Xue Yuanjing went to Zhongshu, where he was valued by Chen Xiaoyi and took charge of writing documents.
In other words, one of the eighteen bachelors on the other line was snatched away by Li Po arbitrarily, but Li Po didn't take it seriously, leaving the two future Hedong talents in a state of embarrassment.
Although the two captives have surrendered now, they actually don't work that hard. They just heard that after Wang Shichong's defeat, the uncle and nephew were working hard to rescue their relatives, Xue Shou's cousin, Xue Deyin.
This is the case these days. Friends, relatives and old friends are all linked together. This is also one of the biggest drawbacks of the recommendation system. In the end, it will definitely be the result of the same party and the defeat of different people.
Xue Deyin had entered the gangster's den, but it was very difficult to get out. When Wang Shichong was there, he was responsible for all the military letters and feathers. He was Wang Shichong's most trusted confidant.
Even if Wang Shichong is missing now, as long as Wang Shiyun still has a trace of delusion, he will definitely not let such a person leave. However, it is hard to say. People have been dying in Luoyang City this winter. No one knows how long the officials and people can last. But
Everyone knows that Luoyang will be defeated sooner or later.
The people in Luoyang City are on the road to death. It is not surprising what Wang Shiyun will do.
The efforts of Xue Shou's uncle and nephew are actually more like doing their best and obeying fate. Their uncle and nephew are newcomers. They have a little reputation in Jinyang but no connections. They are unable to bring back Xue Deyin, who is thousands of miles away.
At most, Xue Yuanjing just used his position to add his uncle's name to the list of people to be disliked.
After hearing about his nephew, Xue Shuang put it between the papers, stared with a pair of red eyes, sighed, and said, "We have no shame to see the King of Qin again..."
Well, this is a boring lament among scholars. It should not be taken seriously. If King Qin Li Shimin could really lead his army to attack Jinyang City, they might struggle a little. But if His Highness the King of Han kills Chang'an, he might persuade King Qin to open the city and surrender.
There were figures of their uncle and nephew inside.
In fact, this can only be regarded as a small anecdote and has nothing to do with the overall situation. It is just connected with the names of Han Wang Li Po and Wang Shicai, and it is dyed with a layer of brilliant color.
This day was not boring for Li Po. The people sent by Fan Wenjin finally returned to Jinyang covered in dust and brought Li Po the latest news from the northwest.
No matter how smart Ren Li Po was, he never expected that a single move of Xianqi would cause a huge storm in the northwest. It was as if he shot an arrow casually, but it pierced the eagle and the rabbit together.
The turbulent Li Po inevitably had some absurd feelings.
