Chapter 371 Li Chengzhi is so bad that he oozes pus
In the Shiqian Hall, Taiwei Yuanjia, Situ Yuanyi, Sikong Gaozhao, Sizhou Mu Yuanyong and others were sitting under His Highness, discussing with the emperor matters concerning the conquest of Shu.
How can a war be so easy to fight, not to mention that there are often more than 100,000 soldiers. Once a war starts, it may last for several years and the whole country will fight.
It would take more than half a year just to collect the civilians, grain and grass, etc. The road to Shu is difficult, and it will take two to three months to wait for the transportation to the front line. Therefore, it is considered fast to start the expedition around the Qingming Festival next year.
The discussion had been going on for most of the day. The emperor was not in good health and his energy naturally could not keep up. The tea was as bitter as a decoction, and sour water came out of his stomach after drinking it. Although he was quite sleepy, Yuan Ke could not concentrate. Come.
Often the minister would say something, and after two or three breaths, he would ask a question or two as if waking up from a dream.
Seeing Liu Teng's anxious look, all the ministers immediately understood. Yuan Jia was quick to see the opportunity and apologized to the emperor in a self-deprecating manner, saying that he was old and lacked energy, and he seemed to be unable to hold on.
Yuan Ke knew that his ministers were considerate of him as an emperor, but he didn't point it out. He immediately stopped discussing the matter and left the ministers to eat together.
In his spare time, the emperor set up the chessboard again. But except for Li Chengzhi, no one in the court was his opponent. Over time, the emperor found it uninteresting, so he let Gao Zhao and Yuan Yong play.
Gao Zhao studied this skill flawlessly, but Yuan Yong didn't like it at all. Therefore, in terms of level, the two of them were evenly matched, a pair of bad chess baskets. The emperor gritted his teeth when he saw it.
The emperor watched the chess game and gave instructions to the two of them, feeling much happier.
Liu Teng was waiting on one side, watching the excitement, when he saw an eunuch (eunuch) stepping into the palace door and quietly waving to him.
Which of the ministers asked to see the emperor? It was probably no big deal, but it was difficult to evade the matter, so he came to him as a temple official to ask for advice.
The eunuch whispered: "It's Li Chengzhi, the martial arts minister. If you ask him anything, he won't say anything, only that it's urgent!"
If it had been anyone else, Liu Teng would have rejected it long ago.
The ministers asked to see the emperor, but some of them did not explain their purpose?
Do you consider yourself to be the Three Lords, the Nine Ministers, and an important military official?
But Liu Teng has long been used to it, and he is 90% sure that your majesty will listen to Li Chengzhi and his opinion will be correct.
He still knew a thing or two about the emperor secretly stumbling upon Li Chengzhi. His Majesty must have been eager to see Li Chengzhi’s jokes...
Is it also strange that Li Chengzhi deserves to be punished and insists on being serious with His Majesty?
It’s okay now...
With a sneer in his heart, Liu Teng turned around and entered the palace, whispering a few words in the emperor's ear.
Sure enough, when he heard it was Li Chengzhi, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.
The corners of his mouth curled up, not knowing if he thought it was funny or if he was sneering.
Li Chengzhi is probably here to complain or complain...
I remember that Nichen was on duty on the first day. I thought I should survive for three or two days, but I didn’t expect that it was just the first day and I couldn’t calm down?
The emperor was in a happy mood and waved his hand lightly: "Invite him in!"
Pointing to the chessboard again, "Let's play first!"
After saying that, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the side hall, as if he wanted to see Li Chengzhi specially.
In fact, he was afraid that Gao Zhao would hear him. If he, the emperor, discovered what he was doing, he would definitely remind Li Chengzhi.
It won’t be much fun then...
Muttering in his heart, the emperor glanced outside again and saw that Li Chengzhi seemed to be talking to Liu Teng. He couldn't help but sneer secretly: Idiot and idiot, what's the use of begging Liu Teng?
You came to beg me...
"Prince of the temple, let's see..."
Li Chengzhi pointed to the book with a confused expression on his face: "The surname written in the first line is 'Wang', but the family background is changed to 'Yu'?
There is also this one, I have never heard of it. Which family in the clan actually has someone with the word "Tu"? Isn't this a lie..."
Liu Teng frowned and said nothing, but he agreed in his heart: Isn't this just a trick?
Who has the patience to look at the notes behind the name when counting? It must be the name in the first line of the register. If Li Chengzhi didn't notice, he took the register to the school and was called the wrong name.
Why don't you explode on the spot?
Grandpa's last name is "Yu", but you changed it to Wang? What do you mean? Could it be that you are scolding grandpa for betraying your ancestors?
Even if we can't make a fuss, we will probably make a big joke... This is clearly someone who is deliberately disgusting Li Chengzhi.
I don’t remember the emperor explaining it like this...
Suspicious in his heart, Liu Teng asked again: "What do you want?"
"What else can I do if I am a low-ranking official? I can only come to the temple minister and find the records to correct them one by one..."
Liu Teng asked curiously: "Although this book is newly compiled, it is at least made in triplicate. Why don't you go to find Yuan Yuan, the brave man in charge, and insist on a visit to the palace?"
Li Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Haha!"
Liu Tenghui misunderstood and thought that Li Chengzhi had approached Yuan Jia, but was rejected.
This method is really not very useful. It can't trouble Li Chengzhi at all, and it's still a bit dirty. That's all, let's give him a convenience...
Liu Teng pointed at his subordinate: "Go quickly and find Li Shilang..."
Li Chengzhi was secretly happy, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Sir!"
He seemed to be leaving, so Liu Teng grabbed him and said, "Don't you want to see His Majesty?"
Li Chengzhi took a peek into the palace and pretended to say: "I'm just here to look for military registration. How can I bother Your Majesty?"
Come less!
If you didn’t want to see the emperor, but just came to see me, you would have made it clear to the eunuch who reported it long ago. Why do you need to be so secretive?
Seeing His Majesty eagerly waiting for you, you served it first?
Not even bothering to talk nonsense to him, Liu Teng pushed Li Chengzhi: "Stop making weird faces and go in..."
Dead eunuch!
Cursing secretly in his heart, Li Chengzhi stepped into the side hall and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty is well!"
The emperor said with a smile on his face: "But are you encountering difficulties?"
How do you know?
Li Chengzhi was suspicious and clasped his fists again: "I have indeed encountered many difficulties, so I came to ask Your Majesty, can you grant me some grace?"
Enzhi, or a few of them, do you think this is Chinese cabbage?
The emperor immediately became happy: "Let's talk about it first!"
"As soon as I took office today, I realized many difficulties. I also realized that my family background is not high and my family background is not prominent, so it is really difficult to convince the public. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty, if you can make me the second deputy and choose another one with a prominent family and high morals and respect.
A virtuous general...I will do my best to assist him..."
Hey, you’re not here to complain, or are you here just to show off?
Maybe it’s not his turn to file a complaint yet, and even more likely, this rebellious minister is using retreat as an opportunity to advance.
The emperor felt wary and asked suspiciously: "Choose another virtuous person? From what you said, it seems that you already have a candidate?"
"Your Majesty is wise, I do have someone I like in my heart..."
Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes and looked at the emperor's face, "That's King Ruyang..."
"Who?"
The emperor shouted so fast that his eyes almost popped out.
He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears...
Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi, do you really dare to open your mouth?
Don’t know what Yuanyue is?
In addition to living and drinking, gambling on chickens and dog fights, what else does he do?
I'm afraid I don't even recognize the sword, spear, sword and halberd.
That's all. Don't you know Yuanyue is a good man?
If he were allowed to serve as the brigade commander, wouldn't it be like a weasel scurrying into the henhouse?
He could even guess what Li Chengzhi was thinking: Although Yuan Yue was a loser, no matter how bad he was, he was still a prince and the emperor's brother. As long as he became the commander-in-chief, which of his soldiers and generals would dare to assassinate him? Aren’t you just letting Li Chengzhi do whatever he wants?
What Yuan Ke wants is not a group of yes-men who only know how to kowtow and bow, but tiger soldiers who can conquer and fight. What is the point of sending Yuan Yue?
Huben alone has nearly ten thousand soldiers, how many Yuanyue can he send?
"No!"
The emperor's face turned dark, and he pointed at Li Chengzhi and scolded, "You rebellious minister, what did you tell me at the beginning: Your Majesty treats your ministers with kindness, and I can only work conscientiously and exhaust all my energy...
You want the power to make decisive military decisions, haven't I given it to you? It's just your first day in office, and before the sun sets, you are full of complaints and resentment? If everyone in the court is like you, how can there be any hope?
The person who did it?"
Li Chengzhi was dumbfounded by the scolding: When did I complain and when did I complain?
I just wanted to test whether I could really exercise this "power of decisive military action", but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, I would be scolded by the emperor bloody?
Although it has been confirmed, Li Chengzhi is very depressed: "After all the people under my command are powerful officials and nobles, I still speak softly, so I thought of asking King Ruyang to calm down the situation, so that I can do something good...
If it doesn't work, it would be a good idea to ask the King of Ruyang to mediate... Your Majesty clearly saw that I went to the Yamen today to see something, but I only saw Wei Sima. It can be seen that all the superior officials and colleagues are not ready for this tiger who suddenly occupied the position.
General, you don’t think you’d like to see him very much?”
Do you actually know how disgusting you are?
If you act without restraint on weekdays, you will know how to anger me, and I will let you have a taste of it today...
Seeing that Li Chengzhi was so aggrieved, the emperor's anger immediately dissipated, and he almost burst into laughter. However, he kept a straight face and reprimanded in a cold voice:
"Li Chengzhi, I am the emperor, not a wet nurse? Do you know how many generals like you there are in the government?
If everyone is like you and comes to bother me at the slightest trouble, what else can I do as an emperor? Get out of here..."
After a pause, he turned around and pointed at Liu Teng, and sternly scolded: "Next time you bother me with trivial matters like this, get out of the toilet and wash the toilet. If you don't clean the toilet for ten days, don't come back..."
After serving the emperor for nearly ten years, how can I still not know the emperor’s character?
Don't look at the cold words and stern look, your Majesty may be laughing secretly.
It’s also Li Chengzhi’s fault for insisting on getting scolded. I wonder if the emperor is waiting for you?
Okay, you have to play the trick of retreating to advance, but in the end, your Majesty silenced you before you even had time to say the real thing?
Liu Teng secretly slandered, apologized quickly, and gave Li Chengzhi an urgent look.
It means to leave quickly...
You really dare to be stupid. Do you believe that His Majesty can make you wear your little shoes?
It's so good, but you got scolded?
Li Chengzhi secretly pinched Yahuazi and fisted angrily: "I...resign..."
The more depressed he became, the happier the emperor became. He endured it forcefully and left the imperial couch with a flick of his sleeves.
As soon as he turned around, his face turned into a smile. But he couldn't say anything, and he saw the emperor grinning, baring his teeth, shaking as he walked, it was so weird.
The four people playing chess in the main hall were stunned.
Listening to the scolding just now, everyone thought that the emperor was so angry with Li Chengzhi that he couldn't help but slap Li Chengzhi dozens of times, which was considered a good temper of the emperor.
Even Gao Zhao feels that it should be smoked.
As long as he is not so short-sighted to the core, or so bad that he oozes pus, he will definitely not make such an extremely ridiculous suggestion as letting Yuan Yue serve in the military.
But who would have thought that His Majesty would look like this?
It’s like the cunning plan succeeded, so dissatisfied!
Including Gao Zhao, who knew Yuan Ke best, several people really couldn't figure out: How could the emperor be so happy just by scolding Li Chengzhi?
But at least I know that Li Chengzhi’s holy family is growing in prosperity!
Don't tell me it's been a while, I'm afraid Gao Zhao will have to step aside now...
Yuan Yong and Yuan Yi looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, His Majesty had the foresight to put a thorn in the middle of the two of them...
Seeing several important ministers looking at him, the emperor suddenly suppressed his smile and waved his sleeves calmly: "Dine with me..."
……
This scolding was so unjust, the more Li Chengzhi thought about it, the weirder it became.
It felt like the emperor was afraid that he would complain or complain, so he would be the first to block him back?
We haven’t passed this combo yet, and we don’t know who will win yet. What should I file a lawsuit against?
Just wait and see, it’s not certain who will complain first!
When he thought of the emperor's words, "Didn't I grant you the right to make military decisions?" Li Chengzhi wanted to laugh three times.
This sentence is no different from Shang Wen's sword. Not to mention life and death, as long as rewards and punishments are determined from the heart, he can play one hundred and eighty tricks with these five hundred dudes...
As for Shangguan... he has "no comment". Grandpa, are you afraid of you?
The act of putting a hot face on a cold butt, just do it once...
Feeling secretly angry in his heart, Li Chengzhi quickly left Chaocheng.
Li Liang was waiting outside the Meridian Gate. When he saw him, he took three steps at a time and came up to him, "Lang Jun, we have found Mr. Yuan Zhong..."
It’s quite fast!
Li Chengzhi asked casually: "Where?"
"I should have returned to my house at this time. It was also a coincidence: I went to Yuan Zhonglang's house, and after seeing the gentleman's greetings, the concierge was quite polite. He only said that Yuan Zhonglang had left the house early in the morning and went to the south of the city for a meeting.
I’m a guest, but I don’t know who it is.
The servant left someone outside his house, asking him to come to the music hall where he had lunch to report as soon as Yuan Zhonglang returned to his house. I also thought that knowing where Yuan Zhonglang was, he might be able to hit him.
By luck, I went back to the south of the city... I didn't expect it, but I found it... It was only a block away from the restaurant where my husband and I dined..."
A barrier?
The restaurant where you often go to eat mutton soup noodles?
The mutton soup noodle shop at that restaurant has a unique flavor, and he would try it whenever he stopped by. Unfortunately, it was not open when he went there today.
It turns out that Yuan Yuan is meeting guests?
Li Chengzhi thought: If Yuan Yuan can book the venue, I think the person coming to the meeting is not an ordinary person. Could it be Yuan Ji or Hou Gang?
But Li Liang shook his head: "Pu Yuan also thought so, so he stared at it from a distance. About two moments later, a carriage drove out from the back door of the music hall, and it was very tightly covered.
The servant was suspicious, so he pretended to pass by and took a look. Although he didn't see anyone sitting in the car, he smelled the fragrance and most likely was a female guest. Then he followed behind and the prince entered the car.
Square, and finally entered the palace of King Chengyang..."
King Chengyang, Yuan Hui, is a female guest?
An idea flashed in Li Chengzhi's mind, and his eyes nearly popped out.
If I remember correctly, this shameless Yuan Yuan should be stealing his nephew's wife...
