Chapter 201: Proverbs and Meals

The seedling, the son of the wood.

And Muzi is a plum character.

Such a simple and easy-to-understand so-called "proverb", not to mention the civil officials and gentlemen in the court, even the children who are still studying in the private school, can also be guessed quickly, but the favorite thing for readers is to take off their pants and fart, pretending to be ghosts, so that the people at the bottom feel that the destiny of heaven is mysterious and mysterious.

Therefore, this so-called "Mandate of Heaven in Miao" seal text immediately caused an uproar in the court.

Almost all the civil officials looked at the imperial history of the Seven Grades Hall of this imperial history platform with contempt, of course, in addition to the contemptuous gaze, there are also some people who have different views on this Zhou Youyi.

Some people think that he is bold and admire him for daring to make decisive bets at such a time, and some people think that this person reads the books of sages in vain and has no shame.

But after this "auspicious rui" was offered, most people's eyes were no longer on Zhou Youyi, but on the emperor on the throne of the Son of Heaven and the governor of Li in the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Zhou Youyi held this auspicious piece in both hands, knelt on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed to the Yankang Tianzi on the throne: "Your Majesty changed the Yuan Yuji, the sky descended to offer Rui, and the ministers offered this auspicious Rui, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing this, even the young Yankang Tianzi couldn't help but be angry in his heart, he glanced at Zhou Youyi coldly, and said in a sullen voice: "Since it is auspicious, Zhou Qing might as well explain to me, what do the four seal characters on this Lingzhi mean to the end?" ”

Zhou Youyi knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said: "The minister is shallow in his knowledge, and he didn't dare to speculate on the will of heaven, but since His Majesty has a life, the minister has the courage to explain the will of heaven." ”

He took a deep breath, bowed his head and said: "Miao, the new life, the old emperor is immoral, stupid and incompetent, Your Majesty replaces the old monarch with a new monarch, and I am the Miao descendant of Emperor Jing of the Great Jin Dynasty......"

"The meaning of the so-called Mandate of Heaven in Miao is self-evident."

Yankang Tianzi's face was cold: "Zhou Qing is so eloquent, so eloquent to stay in the imperial history platform to make a royal history is wronged Zhou Qing, if there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Qing might as well go to the Ministry of Rites to make a master book, for me to send an envoy to the state, to educate foreign countries." ”

The meaning of this sentence is to throw Zhou Youyi to the Ministry of Rites to be a diplomat, and the diplomats of this era are the drudgery of the hardships, as soon as they go out, they will be a few years or even more than ten years, and they may even die outside.

Zhou Youyi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Son of Heaven and said, "Minister, I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty." ”

Even if he annoyed the Son of Heaven, Zhou Youyi did not panic at all, because he knew very well in his heart that in the current Great Jin Dynasty, the Son of Heaven would speak...... And it doesn't count.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, the right servant of Shangshu, who was standing first on the left, shot Zhao Jia, took a step forward slightly, first bowed his hand to the Son of Heaven, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no shortage of people in the Ministry of Rites, that is, the Yushitai was still talking to Shangshutai a few days ago, and this Zhou Yushi should stay in the Yushitai." ”

He smiled.

"Besides, auspicious rui from the sky, no matter how you say it, it can't be said to be a bad thing, Zhou Yushi dedicated the auspicious rui in his family to His Majesty, and it was also out of a heart of loyalty and filial piety."

Yankang Tianzi, who was on the throne, closed his eyes and said nothing.

In the past, the sixth prince was just a young man who cherished his life, and when his life was in the hands of others, no matter what Li Xin or the Southwest Army said, he had no opinion, but now he has been the Son of Heaven for almost half a year, and he also knows very well in his heart that the life and death of the Ji family is decided in his generation, and Ji Ying, the son of Yankang today, is far less afraid of death than half a year ago.

As a result, the court meeting went through the motions in an extremely embarrassing atmosphere.

Although this "opportunistic" Zhou Yushi presented a very ominous "auspicious", he was neither rewarded nor punished.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Jia did not dare to slack off, and while ordering someone to secretly protect Zhou Youyi, he personally rushed to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

This Shangshutai Zaifu, without even changing his court clothes, went to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to ask to see Li Xin, and was soon in the study of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

"That piece of white Ganoderma lucidum was picked up by Zhou Youyi in Xishi Street half a month ago, and the words on the Ganoderma lucidum were carved by a seal carver in his willow workshop, and it took more than ten days to slowly carve it."

Li Xin put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Zhao Jia with a smile.

"This matter, this Zhou Yushi did a very rough job, not only did he not have any ideas to cover it up afterwards, but it seemed to be deliberately revealed to others, and the dark department only checked for an hour, and then put the news on my desk."

Zhao Jia looked up at Li Xin and said with a wry smile: "Ming Gong knows very well in his heart that this matter has nothing to do with the so-called Xiangrui, and the question now is how to deal with this Zhou Youyi." ”

Zhao Jia bowed his head slightly and said: "There are only three situations now, the first is that Ming Gong killed this Zhou Youyi, in order to warn the hundred officials in the court, in this way, it will be difficult to have a second Zhou Youyi in the future, but in this way, it will be ...... If there are some people in the capital, they will have opinions in their hearts. ”

"I don't need to say it so vaguely."

Governor Li Dadu smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, it is the people of the former Southwest Army, and they will have opinions." ”

Zhao Jia nodded and continued: "The second method is not to deal with Zhou Youyi, or just punish Zhou Youyi lightly, if Ming Gong does this, things will remain the status quo for the time being, but in this way, in the next few months, the imperial court may pour out a dozen or even dozens of auspicious rui, and these people will become more and more bold to test Ming Gong's thoughts." ”

Li Xin sat on the chair and asked lightly, "What about the third situation?" ”

"The third is the promotion of the imperial court to the ...... of traveling arts"

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia exhaled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If the imperial court promotes Zhou Youyi, the next thing that will appear in the imperial court is not the so-called auspicious rui, but ...... I persuaded the table. ”

Li Xin clapped his hands, got up and looked Zhao Jia up and down, and said with a smile: "Zhou Youyi used this auspicious rui to test the thoughts of our people, how do I know that he was not assigned by Brother You'an to test my thoughts?" ”

Zhao Jia's face was calm: "The subordinates have never done anything to conceal Ming Gong in private, and there are countless capable people under Ming Gong, so you can check it." ”

The smile on Li Xin's face subsided a little.

He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then said, "Not now." ”

"Ye Mao has already led his troops north, maybe he will fight with the Xianbei people at any time, in this case, the imperial court must maintain stability and give Ye Mao a sufficiently stable rear."

"Ye Mao will do it in the second half of the year."

Li Xin glanced up at Zhao Jia and slowly exhaled: "Out of caution, after the fight over there, there will be big moves in the capital." ”

Zhao Jia bowed respectfully to Li Xin: "Naturally, do it according to Ming Gong's wishes, dare to ask Ming Gong, this Zhou Youyi...... What should I do? ”

"If you don't get promoted or degraded, you will be fined for half a year."

Zhao Jia got up, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

……

So, this palace servant who openly offered "auspiciousness" in the court, after the next dynasty, was invited by Prime Minister Zhao Jia into the prime minister's mansion and had a simple meal.

Then he was fined for half a year for "misconduct".
