- Chapter 118 The Wisdom of the Great Eunuch and the Wisdom of the Little Eunuch
The five liberal arts exams will not end until sunset at least. His Majesty the Emperor does not have time to sit on the general stage all day. After the examiners handed out the test papers, the emperor stayed for a while and then left. Luo Weiran followed closely with the imperial guards, but there was no doubt that the one closest to the emperor was always the eunuch named Su Buwei.
Before the original eunuch Wu Peisheng died, no one paid any attention to the eunuch named Su Buwei. Shortly after Wu Peisheng's death, he rose from an unknown eunuch to the most powerful eunuch in the palace. Although he only held an official position of the sixth rank, no one could deny that the clothes of the sixth rank on his body were in no way inferior to the purple official uniforms worn by the third and fourth rank officials in the imperial court.
The emperor's close servants often have a greater influence on the emperor than the court officials.
The most important thing is that he knows the emperor better than anyone else.
Luo Weiran walked behind, involuntarily looking at the eunuch who was leaning forward slightly even as he walked. Even he, as the commander of the Ouchi Guards Department, had not paid any special attention to this eunuch before. What made him a little helpless and wary was that he knew nothing about the eunuch's strength.
However, since His Majesty has chosen him to be the eunuch, it proves that this person is by no means a loser. Luo Weiran had never been so wary of Wu Peisheng, because he knew Wu Peisheng. Even a very rare Talisman Master with seventh-grade strength still poses no threat to someone like him. Su Buwei is different, he doesn't know the depth, and doesn't know the details Maybe no one except His Majesty the Emperor understands this guy.
"Let Fang Jie go directly to Changchun Garden. I still have many things to deal with."
The emperor gave the order, and Su Buwei quickly agreed and sent a young eunuch to convey the order. When Luo Weiran heard the name Fang Jie, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. In the short time since he entered Chang'an City, that young man had become a figure in the limelight. His experience was so strange that I really don¡¯t know whether to say he was unlucky or extremely lucky. After all, the fact that he was such a small person and that His Majesty could be reminded of him from time to time during these days was enough to make many people jealous.
How many officials and dignitaries can only take a look at His Majesty the Emperor from a distance when they go to court, but never have the opportunity to get close to the Supreme Being at other times? Even if he waits for six or nine days for the last court meeting, His Majesty the Emperor may not even look at them, and may not remember them at all.
And Fang Jie, a scout from a border town, was able to be summoned twice into Changchun Garden Qionglu in such a short period of time, which is enviable no matter what.
The emperor¡¯s chariot left the Yanwu Academy in a low-key manner, and the adults such as the ministers and ministers also had to return to their respective ministries and yamen to do their work. However, several bachelors stayed behind and waited for the completion of the five liberal arts exams. Because they are all honorary professors of the Yanwu Academy, they cannot leave easily on such a big day like today. After the exam, they also have to review the papers with the professors from the Yanwu Academy.
When Fang Jie received the order, the emperor's chariot had already left the gate of the Martial Arts Academy. None of the people watching outside the gate who had not dispersed would have guessed that the ordinary-looking carriage that just drove out of the Chubu Academy was actually sitting there. But at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly changed his mind.
"Let Fang Jie catch up. I will meet him on the carriage."
Su Buwei was startled, and after thinking for a while, he reminded softly: "Isn't it a bit too early for him to get such an honor on His Majesty's carriage? After all, his status is too low now, and it may not be enough for him to have too much honor. What a great benefit.¡±
The emperor smiled and said: "Your eyes are so poisonous!"
Su Buwei lowered his head and smiled and said: "I just saw that Your Majesty was a little fond of that boy, so I said more. He is just a soldier in the frontier army with no experience and no foundation, and Chang'an City to him ¡too big."
"That's okay"
The emperor waved his hand and said: "Just what you said, although Fang Jie comes from a humble background, he is the most interesting young man I have met in the past few years. Compared with him, those young talents who have achieved fame and fame from birth are too much." Too impetuous. Just now you secretly went to see the little trap set by Prince Yi, and you were full of praise for his reaction. I am about to send troops to the northwest. I am afraid that this will be the biggest war since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. A war At this time, I must set an example to let the children from poor families see that as long as they have talent and learning, they will be appreciated by me. If they have hope in their hearts, they will work hard and work hard. ¡¡±
The emperor paused and continued: "Su Buwei, do you know the origin of Huai Qiugong?"
Su Buwei replied: "As I know, Huai Lao came from a poor family but rose to greatness. NowHe was a veteran of three dynasties, and he had a vague demeanor as a civil servant leader. Even the two masters, Pushe, left and right, were only slightly inferior to Huai Lao in terms of prestige. "
The emperor nodded and said: "When my grandfather implemented the imperial examination, he faced obstacles not only from people from aristocratic families, but also from the distrust of children from poor families. In the past, the imperial court selected scholars from aristocratic families, and officials were recommended. Those who come up are the descendants of officials. This is definitely not a good thing for the court. If things go on like this, the government will be controlled by those complicated families, so my grandfather is determined to promote the imperial examination and recruit scholars from poor families"
"However, the common people don't seem to believe that the imperial examination can really make a person from a humble background become a noble person. So my grandfather decided to set up an example to let the common people see that selecting scholars through the imperial examination is not a joke, let alone It's a show. Huai Qiugong is the lucky man. Now after three dynasties, he is still the model. "
The emperor smiled faintly, and said in a very light but confident tone: "My grandfather can set an example, and of course I can too. Only if the people believe that the court is fair and just, then the foundation of the Sui Dynasty will last forever. Forever. There must be such a model from time to time, rather than just one Fang Jie is indeed still very young and lacks experience and foundation, so I sent him to the Yanwu Academy instead of Wenyuan Pavilion Shuhua. Ge, what I'm worried about ishe entered the court early and was tricked to death early."
¡¡
¡¡
The emperor seemed to be very talkative. After taking a sip of tea, he said to Su Buwei: "Enter the martial arts academy and let him practice more and learn more. If Chang'an City is a melting pot, all people who are not accustomed to this temperature can be If eliminated, then the Yanwu Academy is another melting pot in this melting pot, which can not only train people, but also protect them."
Su Buwei nodded and did not dare to interrupt.
The emperor said: "He is still young. Although I like this little guy, I am not ready to promote him at all costs. As you said before, giving him too much honor at this time will actually harm him. I We need to train him and let him get up again after three years, five years, or even ten years. In twenty years, he will be the next Huai Qiugong in Chang'an City and he will be old enough. In less than twenty years, before the people forget his example, the example I set will be talked about again by the people."
"Your Majesty has a long-term plan. I can't imagine what will happen after such a long time. I just feel that this young man is really lovable, so I should give him some pressure. If I get up too early, I will fall very painfully."
"Ha ha"
The emperor smiled, pointed at Su Buwei and said, "If you weren't an eunuch, you could have entered the imperial examination."
Su Buwei quickly lowered his head and said, "This servant is just trying to figure out your thoughts. How can I deserve such praise from His Majesty?"
"Su Buwei"
The emperor pondered for a while and suddenly asked: "You have poisonous eyes when it comes to people and things. Let me ask you what do you think of Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji? Prince Yi what do you think?"
"My slave I dare not have an opinion."
Su Buwei was startled, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare this slave. Taizu strictly ordered the harem not to interfere in politics. Even if I have a hundred courage, I will not dare to comment on the high officials of the imperial court, let alone the prince." Your Highness."
¡°You don¡¯t have to be so cautious.¡±
The emperor waved his hand and said: "Just think of it as chatting with me to relieve my boredom. This is not interference in the government affairs. I am just asking you what you think of them, but it doesn't matter."
"Slave"
Su Buwei hesitated for a long time, and then answered cautiously: "It seems to me, Commander Luo and Ambassador Hou Zhenfu are loyal to Your Majesty. They are like His Majesty's hands, holding the imperial guard's hand." Chu and Qingya are the two sharpest knives. Wherever your majesty thinks, their knives will point As for Prince Yi, I really don¡¯t understand him and don¡¯t dare to talk nonsense.¡±
"This is not the kind of talk I want to hear."
The emperor glared at Su Buwei and asked: "Let me ask more directly. Who do you think is more loyal to me, Luo Weiran or Hou Wenji?"
Su Buwei raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head and said, "I feel that the two adults are equally loyal to Your Majesty However, they may have different things in mind, so they look a little different. However, this should have nothing to do with their loyalty to His Majesty."
"You!"
The emperor smiled helplessly and said: "I asked you to tell the truth, but you are still only willing to talk about the situation. I won't ask any more questions. You don't even dare to comment on the two of them. How dare you talk about Prince Yi."
Su Buwei thought about it? Said: "The slave does not need to have his own ideas. Whatever His Majesty thinks, the slave will think. Just like Commander Luo and Envoy Hou Zhenfu, wherever His Majesty's hand points, the slave will run to that direction."
The emperor was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said: "You are different from them. I can say these things to you, but I cannot say them to them. You should know that there are not many people around me who can let me relax and chat casually ¡±
Su Buwei's eyes turned red and he bowed deeply: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
There are no rules in Chang'an against riding horses for shopping, but they do not allow horses to run wildly. Therefore, although Fang Jie was a little impatient, he did not dare to be too ostentatious, and he no longer had to pretend to be high-profile after leaving the gate of the Martial Arts Academy. On the way to Changchun Garden, he kept controlling the speed of the red horse, trotting, and never seemed to be domineering.
Fang Jie doesn¡¯t want to be accused of any crime. Chang¡¯an City is indeed too big for him. Who knows if an inadvertent mistake will be the reason why he will never be able to turn over?
By the time we arrived at Changchun Garden, the sun had already turned slightly to the west, and Fang Jie, who had not eaten lunch, made a slight protest in his stomach. But Fang Jie didn't have time to go to the Five Zang Temple to worship, so he followed the little eunuch who was delivering the order directly into the royal garden. After entering the door, the red horse was handed over to the guard. He followed the little eunuch step by step, always keeping the same distance at a slow pace.
When he walked outside the dome hut, the little eunuch stopped, turned around and the other party explained with a smile: "Our family can only take you here, and we can't just go in inside."
"Thank you very much"
Fang Jie took out a banknote from his sleeve and wanted to stuff it into the little eunuch. Unexpectedly, the little eunuch waved his hand and took a step back: "We don't have the courage. We don't want to taste Zongsifang's sticks. If you feel that As long as our family is of some use, I will make friends with you. Our family¡¯s name is Mu San. Just remember our name.¡±
Fang Jie couldn¡¯t help but praise in his heart, saying that this little eunuch is so scheming and resourceful!
"I remember, my father-in-law's name is Mu San. My father-in-law can also remember that your friend's name is Fang Jie."
Fang Jie nodded and clasped his fists in thanks.
The little eunuch Mu San smiled, returned the greeting, turned around and left. Fang Jie looked at his back and thought to himself that even a young eunuch had such magnanimity, vision and means. The water in Chang'an City was really too deep. He refused to accept his own banknote because he knew that the benefit of taking this mere one hundred taels of silver was far less beneficial than letting a little person who was very likely to become a big shot remember him. Who knows what the future holds? Who doesn¡¯t think about the future?
Mu San
Fang Jie also remembered this name, a young eunuch who never forgot that he should climb up. Such people are often useful. - Didn't finish reading?
