I wish my son was stupid and reckless

When Li Cheng exited the Pingzhang Palace, he hiccupped clearly.Li Rong couldn't help but look sideways at this cousin. He used to think that Li Cheng was weak, but he didn't expect that Li Cheng was not only weak, but also cowardly and incompetent. After saying a few words, he was so frightened.How could such a gloomy and mean person not see him so frightened when he visited the Son of Heaven in previous years?

Li Lan and Meng Wei in the hall also heard this sound clearly, Li Lan's face became more and more ugly, and he picked up the teacup and sipped it.Meng Wei pondered for a while, then leaned forward and said, "Your Highness doesn't seem to like King Lu."

Li Lan glanced at him slowly, and asked: "Is there any? Gu is a filial and friendly king, how can he have contempt for his clan brothers and sisters? Besides, Gu is only seeing Li Cheng for the first time, so why not?" ?”

Meng Wei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness has a great understanding of people, reading is literary, and all of them are getting better and better, I admire you."

Li Lan squinted his eyes and looked at him, and finally leaned down lazily, and sighed longly with one hand: "Why, can't Gu not like him? If you don't like him, you will be disappointed." Decent, or will it be unpopular?"

Meng Wei still had a very respectful attitude, but his expression changed into a soft and relaxed expression that was unique to Li Lan when he was alone, and he smiled slightly: "Your Highness is harsh on the clan, or thinks he is unkind, I'm afraid Hurt Shengming... Second, I am really curious, since His Highness is meeting King Lu and King Huai for the first time, how can you ask His Highness if you don't like it?"

The little prince squinted at him, then turned his eyes away, stared at the inkstone on the table and said unhappily: "Because the father likes him."

Meng Wei blinked.

Li Lan repeated loudly angrily: "That Li Cheng—Gu can tell that Father Emperor likes him at a glance!"

Bachelor Xiaomeng has been an official for many years, and now he has been promoted to an important minister in the court. Naturally, he takes his teacher as a model, and he has learned a lot of demeanor and self-cultivation day by day.It was about a hundred paces away from Pingzhang Hall that he laughed out loud, and then shook his head again.Just walking all the way to the Zhengshitang, the smile on his face has not yet dissipated.

Xie Bie was watching the matter in the hall, signing and approving official documents while calling for inquiries, his hands and eyes were kept in an orderly manner, and he saw the people from various departments in the hall coming and going.

Meng Wei stopped for a while, admiring the feeling of being in control of power and taking care of everything every day. He waited until Sheren, who was reporting the matter, took the order to retreat, and then went forward to salute, and respectfully called himself a student: "Student pays respects to master."

Xie Bie slowly finished writing the instructions on the document in his hand, put down his pen, and only looked up at him.Because there were people in the hall, his tone of voice was still very gentle and polite, but he was less intimate: "Bachelor Meng is now a minister in scarlet clothes, why should he be so polite. I wonder if His Royal Highness has any important orders?"

Meng Wei's expression froze slightly, and he subconsciously pursed his lips.He could distinguish the indifference and alienation in the farewell words almost instantly, and felt very sad.But after all, he is the talent that Li Yandu once praised, and the momentary uneasiness was easily suppressed. He respectfully said: "The student has been promoted by the great kindness of the master, and there will never be a day when he dares not repay it."

Xie Bie suppressed the end of his sentence and gave a soft laugh, which seemed to be an ordinary smile of approval between teachers and students, but Meng Wei could hear the sarcasm in that smile very clearly.

Bachelor Xiaomeng pursed his lips, still respectfully said: "Seeing that it's almost noon, Master hasn't eaten yet?" Xie Bie glanced at him and waved his hand.The clerks in the political affairs hall were all very shrewd, and after saluting to the prime minister and Xueshi Meng, they retreated like a tide. Xie Bie didn't get up and went to the small room in the back hall, took a good look at Meng Wei, and picked it up again Looking at an official document, he said indifferently: "Scholar Meng, please tell me if you have something to do. You don't need to eat. I have a bad appetite recently, and I can't bear to sit with you any longer."

Meng Wei straightened up, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and then said: "Just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received King Huai and King Lu, and His Highness the Crown Prince was very displeased because he didn't like His Majesty getting close to King Lu. The king of Lu broke out, and he did not agree to the request of the king of Lu to face the saint."

"The emperor can't even see anyone now." Xie Bie nodded slightly, and drew two circles on the official document in his hand, and then whispered after a while: "Let's say it is King Lu..."

Meng Wei was keenly aware of the unsatisfactory meaning in Xie Farewell's words.It was also the first time he saw Lu Wang Li Cheng today, he felt that he was just a cowardly young man with a weak temperament, but after all he was born in a poor family and he was not familiar with the anecdotes in the court.And her teacher, who has been alone in the court for twenty years, and has made friends with the emperor since childhood, must know something to ponder this.Meng Weiyi was always diligent and inquisitive, so he asked, "I don't know what's wrong with King Lu?"

Xie Bie glanced at him, wrote a few instructions on the official document in his hand, and said after a while: "There is nothing wrong with it, you don't need to ask carefully...Is this the reason why you came here today?"

This was said coldly, with the meaning of seeing off guests, no matter how well-mannered Meng Wei was, he could hardly bear his teacher's frequent cynicism.He was still a young man after all, subconsciously said: "The matter of recommending Xie Shixie as the Prince Fu of Anyang County, the student has already done it."

Xie Bie really focused his eyes slightly, he put down the pen and paper in his hand again, and raised his chin slightly.Prime Minister Xie, who has always been well known in the world with gentleness and beauty, showed a rare arrogant and sharp look, stroked his sleeves and said: "Master Meng, although you have the crown prince's trust, in the end it is just a lucky one. Once your Majesty recovers from illness, your wealth and life may not be without complete truth. Are you afraid of losing your current status as an important minister if you use the dog as a threat again and again?"

"Master, do you want to have this kind of relationship with me?" Meng Wei rarely showed a pleading tone, and said in a low voice, "Students ask themselves that they have never felt sorry for their master."

Another chuckle.With a smile, Xie Bie said to him very gently: "If you think you are worthy, you are worthy. But you and I are just ordinary teachers and students, and the truth has driven you out of the door and wall, and we have never been familiar with each other. , and what are you talking about?"

Meng Wei gritted his back molars almost subconsciously.He looked at Xie Bie's hand on the table, the slender and soft palm without any calluses, he had held it in his hand before; when his eyes moved up, he saw the slightly raised thin lips, smiling and kissable soft.

He tried his best to suppress his anger and impulse, and then slowly released his clenched fist. He wanted to talk about other soothing topics, but he really didn't want to listen to those unpleasant words.

Bachelor Xiaomeng thought for a while, and said: "The crown prince's canonization ceremony has not yet been held. The students think it is a grand occasion. In the name of His Majesty, an order should be issued to order the minister to go to Lantai to check the ancient books of the previous dynasty to prepare for the ceremony. This matter The student has reported to His Highness, intending to do this."

As he spoke, he took out the imperial edict from his sleeve, and Xie Bie got up to pay homage to it. After reading it, he said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, those who have inherited the great rule from a side branch are especially fond of discussing etiquette..."

Since ancient times, the more unrighteous the monarch was, the more he paid attention to whether the ritual utensils for the enthronement ceremony conformed to the ancient system, so as to show the destiny of heaven.Xie Bie's words were a bit harsh, of course Meng Wei could understand, but she just pretended not to understand and didn't respond.Xie Bie glanced at the imperial edict again, then raised his eyes to look at him: "So you are the one who is said to go to the ancient books together with the truth?"

Meng Wei owed himself to do so.

Xie Bie turned around and put away the edict carefully, then straightened his clothes and nodded to him in a gentle manner: "Bachelor Meng—then let's go."
