Minister

106【Seven years of Jiankang】

This afternoon, Chen Entropy was very happy, and Guo Taifu twisted his round body to accompany him and sweated all over.The old and the young were finally tired and went back to the house to drink tea and rest.Guo Taifu saw that Wei Chi was arguing with the princess, and both of them looked serious, which was very funny.The tea was just hot when a servant girl ran up in a panic: "Your Majesty has arrived."

The maid is from the Hede Palace, and she hurriedly stepped back to pick her up after she whispered something.

Yuxiang seemed taken aback when he saw Wei Chi, who was still eloquent just now.

In fact, rather than being taken aback by the emperor, it might as well be said that he was surprised by Wang Yunyi.

Wei Chi remembered the business, he didn't expect to see the emperor so soon, he had to think about whether to say those words now, how to say them.Before he could figure out why, Chen Xing had already gone upstairs, and the monarch and his ministers saluted, Chen Xing said solemnly: "What are those paper heads in the corridor?"

Wei Chi sighed badly in his heart.

Fortunately, Taifu Guo also made an accomplice this time, so he can only top the tank.The fat old man smiled and explained the reason to Chen Entropy. Chen Entropy didn't care at all, but when he saw Wei Chi was there, he naturally suspected that this person did it, and his tone was very unkind.Chen Entropy was also afraid of his father, fortunately Taifu Guo took all the guilt, so he was relieved.

Chen Xing politely treated Mr. Guo as a teacher and student, then turned around and scolded Chen Entropy: "You have tired Mr. Guo today, so you don't want to go to school!"

With a mournful face, Chen Entropy was led downstairs by the Taifu.

Yuxiang and Wei Chi were left upstairs. Yuxiang was not afraid of the emperor, so he said with a smile, "Brother Huang, did you send my sister's gift to the Geng family?"

Chen Yan softened his expression: "Is there any mistake? Why, what book are you reading?"

Yuxiang smiled and said, "The Analects of Women."

"I don't believe it." Chen Yan also laughed.

Yuxiang pouted.

Chen Xing looked at Wei Chi vigilantly at the side: "What are you talking to Mr. Wei?" Big fire.

Yuxiang took Chen Yan's arm: "Chenmei is learning to write from... Mr. Wei."

Seeing that Yuxiang didn't look shy at all, Chen Xing finally let go of his heart. Yuxiang's handwriting was inherited from Guo Taiming.Yuxiang dared to tease him like this, which shows that he didn't have those thoughts.

Chen Yan pinched Yuxiang's face: "You go first, I have something to talk to Master Wei."

Yuxiang was a little surprised, but he couldn't guess the reason, so he had to retreat first.The eunuchs at the door are all familiar, the more Yuxiang thinks about it, the more strange it becomes, this Wei Changbu is not an important minister, why does the emperor look like something is wrong?

Wei Chi was also feeling uneasy at the moment.

"Please sit down." Chen Yan said heavily.

Wei Chi sat down, feeling even more anxious.

Chen Xing sized Wei Chi up for a long time: "Master Wei, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Wei Chi quickly smirked: "What?"

Chen Xing was so angry that he was about to spit fire: "What??" Chen Xing stood up abruptly, and took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, all of which were written in large characters: "Master Wei, what is this?"

Chen Xing slammed on the ground, startling Wei Chi severely.

Fortunately, when the papers slowly floated to the ground, Wei Chi breathed a sigh of relief—it turned out to be this one.

Chen Yan was furious: "Lord Wei, I invite you to teach the prince to write...or to teach the prince to cheat?"

The Dongchuang incident happened, and although the words written by Wei Chi felt flawless, unfortunately, he met an expert.Chen Xing didn't notice it at first, but by coincidence, the imperial concubine showed the handwriting written by the prince to a female master who entered the palace to read.The female master came to copy the blessings for the imperial concubine. She was an expert among the people, and she was an expert among experts, and she took out all the things that Wei Chi filled.In fact, there is nothing to do at the moment, which grandma would embarrass her grandson?Grandma Huang even thought that Master Wei was smart, and she was a little proud of helping his precious grandson to be lazy.Unexpectedly, people who don't know what kind of good things spread from east to west to the emperor.The emperor was furious immediately, and he ran to the harem to get all the tracings without even digging into whether it was true or not.Just thinking about dragging this Wei guy to the Meridian Gate to serve him a big meal!He was furiously looking for the queen, but he didn't know that he saw a group of servants busy in the corridor on the way, and they belonged to Hede Palace!Chen Xing thought that both Chen Entropy and Yuxiang might be in the academy, so he wanted to send Yuxiang away, directly arrested his son, and took him to the queen for questioning!

I didn't expect to meet the mastermind as soon as I went upstairs, and he seemed to be seducing his precious sister! !

After Chen Yan ate it, his mind was changed.

Chen Yan looked at Wei Chi with a murderous look, Wei Chi got up slowly, picked up one and looked at it carefully, then - raised his head and smiled foolishly: "... Your Majesty."

Chen Yan was so angry that his heart went blank, and his teeth creaked.

Wei Chi didn't kneel down, nor did he make any excuses, but restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the prince's schoolwork is too heavy."

Chen Yan gritted his teeth and smashed the tea bowl at hand: "Zhuzi! Is this what you should say?"

Wei Chi then knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the crown prince has to read for five hours a day, let alone a child of this age, and the adults in the Imperial College only spend five hours a day. What's more, even if it takes so long, the crown prince still has to read books for five hours a day." Often can't be done."

"The crown prince used to live like this, and before Master Wei came!" Chen Yan pointed at the back of Wei Chi's head: "You don't need to gossip about these things! What qualifications do you have!"

Wei Chi raised his head: "I'm the prince's teacher, that's one; I took the Beijing Examination at the age of 15, that's the second. Since the emperor wants the prince to be a young man, then he should listen to what he thinks."

Chen Xing ignored Wei Chi's sophistry: "You never told me that!"

Wei Chi smiled: "Your Majesty, child prodigies are especially good at playing and being lazy."

Chen Xing has seen many people who are not afraid of death, but this is the first time he has encountered this kind of person who is not afraid of death and shameless, and he was actually laughed out of anger: "..."

Wei Chi knew that it was time to turn the situation around: "Your Majesty, there is a story about an old oil seller in my hometown. This son is studying from morning to night every day, like chanting scriptures, but he always fails to make progress. One day, the old man who just sold oil came to deliver oil. The master and the young master came back from outside, and they happened to meet. The son asked: "Father, what is this and what is it for?" The father scolded: "What does this have to do with you as a scholar? Is it possible that the master will take this exam tomorrow? I don't know how to do it! I don't want anything that has nothing to do with studying in the future." I asked. Just as I was talking, the boy next door took an oil bottle and came out to measure the oil. I saw that the boy was very young, but he was very smart. He knew the details of the oil price in ten miles and eight villages. It took a lot of bargaining to make a deal. Juren The master sneered at the side: Look, this kid is just a man of the market, he doesn't look like a student, you don't want to learn from him! The old oil seller just smiled and said nothing..."

Chen Yan sneered: "...then this marketer got hit by Tanhua...isn't it?"

Wei Chi stroked his sleeves: "It's not so fast, it's just that I got selected as a scholar. It's a matter of later..."

"Grumpy!"

"In fact, the emperor must know that the minister is not a person with outstanding talents. Apart from his own hard work, he really owed the teacher's teaching. The teacher taught the minister to argue for no less than an hour every day. What he was arguing about was the affairs of the countryside and the world. This is to prevent future articles from being empty. Therefore, I have to take my ministers to the surrounding villages and towns every day, and every month I have to take my ministers to visit his friends in the mountains. The experiences are all recognizable materials. Only in this way can we think about the reason, and we can go to the bottom of the reason. Reading alone, you can fight for fame, but it is only fame. The ministers don’t care about these, will the emperor care about the prince’s fighting for these things? Juren next door The master's son still has a little time to play with the neighbors every day, but the prince is really full, and there is only time left for sleeping every day."

Chen Yan turned pale: "Are you mocking me?"

Wei Chi buried his head on the ground: "I don't dare, the prince is still young, and I only realized when I was entrusted with righteousness that some things cannot be accomplished overnight. Rather than trying hard, it is better to keep flowing. The emperor is in the prime of life, and the prince is still in his prime." There is a lot of time to study, so there is really no need to be in a hurry. Although the crown prince is a dragonborn, he is still a child."

Chen Yan squatted down and said with a smile: "Wei Chi...do you know that now I really want to grab your hair, pull your head out like a carrot, and throw it outside the palace?!"

Hearing these words, Wei Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Chen Xing's anger had passed: "Your Majesty, a minister is a minister of a king, but he is also the master of the prince. It is the duty of a master to speak for the students."

Chen Xing stood up, took a breath, and really stopped.

Wei Chi thought to himself that this person was really like this, on the surface he was eager to see his son become a dragon, but inwardly he was just thinking about using the prince's homework to silence the troublemakers.Chen Entropy is not a direct descendant, so he has been named the crown prince so early, which is reasonable in theory, but it is really hard to say in terms of affection.Moreover, the process of conferring the crown prince was very secretive, as if all the ministers in the court were outsiders, and only the eunuchs were caring.Let alone the prince's family feel indignant, even ordinary officials are a little bit chilled.But to say that the emperor doesn't love the prince, that's not justified.But this person will always put his own throne first. If the crown prince wants to make concessions, the queen must make concessions, even if he is enforcing the lives of the common people, the dignity of the empire must also be compromised.Today's incident may seem big, but in fact it is not painful. The truly terrible incident is yet to come.

Wei Chi noticed that it was time, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister has an unshirkable responsibility when he is on duty. If the prince cannot improve his studies, the Emperor can just pull the carrots."

These days, the prince's handwriting has indeed improved a lot. The reason is very simple. Learning to write requires brains. The improvement of blindly copying is definitely not as good as explaining one by one.In the past, teachers spoke less because there were too many students to serve them.There is only one student who still writes stupidly... Isn't this teacher too ignorant?Wei Chi sniggered in his heart, the emperor was really angry that he had bullied him first, but unfortunately, he had to explain, his son had to sit down, and after going around a few times like this, he really forgot the crime of bullying the emperor.

"Get up!" Chen Yan finally spoke.

Wei Chi shook his clothes and stood up, smiling.

Chen Yan curled his lips: "Why did you choose you during the palace examination?" The top ten people are actually similar, and the palace examination tends to tend to those who are flashy, especially the ranking of Tanhua...Wei Chi was really the best candidate at that time.

Chen Xing looked this guy up and down, and thought for a while: "Aside from being good-looking, he has nothing to offer."

Sure enough, Wei Chi's face changed slightly, and Chen Xing snickered in his heart—this is Master Wei's sore spot, and it can be regarded as a blow to him!snort!Talk back brat.

Chen Xing was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and also to add to Wei Chi's obstacles, when the sound of slaves kowtowing suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Your Majesty, there is a report."

"What report?" Chen Xing was a bit reluctant to part with this rare opportunity. The opportunity to denounce the academicians of the Imperial Academy is very rare. I missed it this time. I don't know if it will be available next year.

"Your Majesty, it's the military newspaper."

Wei Chi's heart skipped a beat, she knew that the thing had arrived.

At the moment, Chen Hao doesn't know what it is, but there are some bandits in the west recently, and the civil servants guarding them are ineffective and are changing personnel, so some small stations will also report to the capital to ask for approval.After all, it was the military newspaper, so Chen Yan had no choice but to let Wei Chi go: "Come in."

Wei Chi's heart was in his throat, what?Or not?

Chen Xing picked up the thin letter and weighed it in his hands. He didn't read it in a hurry, but just looked back at Wei Chi, who looked like a girl, thinking that this kid is really useless, and he looks more and more manless. tasted.Chen Yan went out while slandering Wei Chi in his stomach, and said to the eunuch at the door: "The eunuch who attends the school beats twenty boards carefully. If you can beat the rest, let him work for the prince. .”

Careful beating is only one level lower than hard beating, and twenty boards are also uncomfortable. Chen Xing can be regarded as using his own slave to play a prestige in front of the minister.

Wei Chi seemed to be greatly shocked, with a serious face, no longer the posture of not being afraid of being cut just now.Satisfied, Chen Yan walked out.

Wei Chi's heart seems to be suffering at the moment, what?Or not?

In the end, Chen Xing walked out of the academy holding the frightening envelope and got into the sedan chair.Standing on the second floor, Wei Chi watched the brilliant group slowly move towards the inner courtyard, and felt that the colorful chicken feathers on the envelope were so cruel.

The sun had already set, Wei Chi wiped the cold sweat off his face, and came downstairs.The downstairs was empty, only the eunuch who guarded the gate was still standing aside.Wei Chi didn't dare to stay, and quickly walked out of the courtyard.The crabapple flowers in the garden are very bright, and one or two paper butterflies that I haven't picked up in time are sandwiched between them, their wings fluttering slightly.Wei Chi glanced at them and stepped out the door.

Geng Yunmei's wedding, Wang Yunyi's scheme, and the emperor's self-willedness, Wei Chi felt that all these things were more mysterious than what happened in Da Cang Mountain. He seemed to be a scholar Han Qing, helpless and terrified, shivering forward.

When Wei Chi was about to reach the gate of the palace tremblingly, he rushed after him in a sedan chair.It wasn't until Wei Chi walked out of the palace gate that the sedan chair slowly chased after him, and when he reached a secluded street, a corner of the sedan chair curtain was raised.

"Master Wei." Sitting inside was Xiang Fang, the eunuch who was in charge of the official seal.

Seeing that he was signaling him not to stop, Wei Chi had no choice but to continue walking.

"Your majesty is going to Yongqing Palace tonight, and the honored man Huang is having a small banquet. Our family has already served the emperor, and for the next three days, if Mr. Wei is free, he should be on duty. "After speaking, the curtain of the soft sedan was lowered, turned a corner, and parted ways.

Wei Chi lamented that this Xiang Fang was really powerful, he didn't know how to pull off the military newspaper that the emperor was holding in his hand, and sent it to that so-called Huang Guiren and Zhou Guiren.Wei Chi touched his neck, reminding himself that his head was still there... I don't know if it will still be there three days later.

After returning to his own house, Yiqing brought a letter from Bingwen, in which he implicitly thanked Wei Chi for his help to Yunmei, and even more implicitly expressed regret.

"Miss Geng's wedding will last until night, sir, do you want to change clothes before going there?" Yiqing thinks that sir and Mr. Zhuangyuan are best friends, so he must be going right now, with all the clothes ready.

"Forget it," Wei Chi waved his hand: "Let's not make trouble." But he thought about it again: "Let's go."

If you don't go by yourself, you will be suspicious.So he changed his robe and went out.

Marriage matters are lively in the woman's house in the morning, and lively in the man's house in the evening.At this moment, the Lin family is really noisy.When Wei Chi squeezed in the door, he happened to meet Wang Xieshan, and Master Wang smiled at her.

Wei Chi's face froze, and then he laughed: "This junior is late."

"Master Wei, go in quickly, young man, it's lively." Wang Xieshan nodded.

Only then did Wei Chi enter the door meekly.

At this moment, the rest are almost all young juniors, most of whom have no fame, and they are all lively and playing games around there.Wei Chi is famous and has no close friendship with the dudes in the capital, so he can only eat alone in one place.

Wei Chi had been hungry all day, and was about to order a bowl of soup and sip it.

"Who is that?" A female guest pointed at Wei Chi and asked her female companion behind the curtain.

"That person may be Mr. Wei. He is the only unmarried man of this rank in the court."

"It's as beautiful as a woman!"

Lin Yuzan held her own tea and took a sip coldly.I just feel that the girls from these relatives' families have never been seen in the market like the new daughter-in-law married by the Geng family.Speaking of which, there was also a princess who looked at herself jealously and pitifully that day, with a very ridiculous expression.Lin Yuzan cast a contemptuous glance at Wei Chi, then lowered her head.

"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first." Lin Yuzan put down the cup and said.

No one noticed, Lin Yuzan helped the maid's hand and left the table.

The servant girl Cui Ling reminded in a low voice: "Aren't you going to show off to the elders?"

Lin Yuzan shook her head: "Let's go."——A group of ladies from the first line were surrounded so lively, why would a distant relative like me join in the fun?It is better to seek freedom than to be bored.

Walking out of the yard, Cui Ling said angrily: "You unmarried young ladies, you're so excited in front of so many people, you're not flirting at all!"

Lin Yuzan chuckled: "But it's true, Mrs. Wei is as beautiful as a woman, but it's a pity that it's not their turn, and someone already has a crush on her!"

Cui Ling snorted coldly: "What's the big deal, it's called a princess, but in fact it's nothing more than that, so soft and weak, so boring."

"Girl with no rules, I can't see you twisting your mouth!" Lin Yuzan pretended to be angry.

Cui Ling pretended to hide for a while: "However, miss, who are you looking at? It was fine before, at least it was about entering the palace, but now it's fine, even the emperor doesn't care about it. "

Lin Yuzan stomped her feet: "The more you can't do anything about your nonsense!"

Cui Ling stuck out her tongue: "But...the Lin family doesn't help, it's fine, this time Eunuch Huang Gui personally invited the young lady into the palace, why didn't the young lady go instead?"

"What do you know..." Lin Yuzan looked at the lonely moonlight: "He was just afraid that I would cause trouble, so he could comfort me. He also wanted to follow the emperor's wish and take credit for it. But if it's true, It's okay to follow the emperor's wish, but I'm afraid this is just the speculation of a slave of his, and there will be a slight difference at that time... He just failed, how can I still have a chance to turn around in my life? I thought about entering Beijing this time, bearing the burden of humiliation Just to enter the palace, who knows that it is so unsatisfactory, now it seems that I can only settle for the next best..."

The author has something to say: Your majesty, what is popular now is the handsome version of the handsome guy... Really...

Sister Lin, you haven't met a really good person, but the real good person is probably coming soon, I wish you all the best when the time comes...

Sister Yuxiang, everyone says that you are chasing the end of a certain article, you don't care about Wei Chi at all...

Wei Chi... Sister Geng is your sister, why are you jealous?

Uncle Wang: Don't forget the business when you are romantically involved!
