Chapter 617: Literati and Scholars
Out of the Huangji Gate, the emperor sat in the warm sedan chair, Wei Zhongxian and Chang Wei followed left and right, and after walking for a while, the emperor asked in the sedan chair: "Old Wei, do you have any opinion on Teacher Yuan as the first assistant of the cabinet?"
This is the second time that the emperor has asked Wei Zhongxian, he knows that the emperor has made up his mind, and if he doesn't express his position, the emperor will be unhappy, so he doesn't dare to say that he has an opinion, so he can only reply: "The emperor Shengming, Yuan Ge is always the most suitable candidate."

The reason why Wei Fatzi was able to manipulate the government was because the emperor was unwilling to go to the court and handed over everything to him, once the emperor personally handled the political affairs, he could only make some small moves below to make some money, and it was no longer possible to influence the cabinet candidates.
The emperor said again: "I beat Cui Yingyuan yesterday, and just now I killed Huang Ping with a rod and expelled Gu Bingqian. Do you know why? Because of the shallow foundation of fearlessness, these old qualifications in the court do not obey him, so I naturally have to support him, otherwise, wouldn't I be bullied by others?"
Wei Fatzi was full of bitterness and bullied Chang Wei? Who dares, it's a good thing that he doesn't bully people now!
"You and Daring Do are both people of our faith, take care of your subordinates and don't let them cause trouble under your banner. You go down and tell them, don't always look for fearless trouble, or you will be beaten and lose your position, don't regret it!"
The emperor gave Chang Wei face like this, Wei Zhongxian completely lost his temper, "Yes, yes, yes! The slave maid knows, so she will go and pass the word." ”
He was about to leave, but was stopped by the emperor, "Old Wei, where are you eating?" I asked someone to bring you imperial food, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat first. ”
This concern moved Wei Zhongxian again, "The old slave thanked the emperor, and the old slave was ready to go to the Huangji Gate." ”
The emperor snorted and took Chang Wei away, Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a while, and then turned around and turned back to the Imperial Gate.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Ke Yinyue greeted him from afar, squeezed her eyebrows and showed off her charm to Chang Wei, and then said, "Your Majesty, the queen is here." ”
After learning that Empress Zhang Yan was an ethereal person last night, Chang Wei knew the reason why Keyinyue was jealous of the queen.
"What is the queen doing at this time? I guess I know the news of the early dynasty, I don't know which faction the queen and Miao are from? Who are their agents in the imperial court?"
Entering the palace gate, only to listen to the footsteps in front of him, Chang Wei looked at it and saw that the queen Shi Shi came, she had a red silver grate with a lion in her cloud temples, wearing red gold inlaid ruby pomegranate flower earrings, wearing a red carved silk folded branch peony plain face Shu embroidered chicken heart collar oblique placket, wearing embroidered white carved plum blossom bamboo leaf smoke yarn soft smoke. The white jade hand wears a jade bead with a gold chun, the waist is sprinkled with satin tape, the belt hangs a purse with folded flowers, and wears a red persimmon pattern embroidered skirt, the steps are light, the demeanor is soft, and there are no embroidered shoes between walking.
With a fair goose egg face, staring apricot eyes, and a soft bun hanging down his shoulders, the whole person is elegant and elegant. The queen is not only dressed beautifully and generously, but more importantly, she has a refined temperament, is generous, confident and graceful, and is worthy of being a queen elected from 8,000 people!
The emperor beckoned her to eat, but the queen said that she had eaten, but instead ordered someone to take out a guqin and play it on the side, the sound of the piano was melodious, and the skills were quite extraordinary.
At the end of the song, the emperor asked, "Fearless, how is the sound of the queen?"
Chang Wei swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed, I can't understand the rhythm of music, and I can't tell the difference." ”
"Don't understand the law?" the emperor nodded at him and said, "Don't be polite, that song of loyalty to the country is catchy." ”
Chang Wei replied: "That is a war song, as long as it is impassioned, it is much simpler than a piano song." ”
The queen said: "I heard that the Duke of Qin Guo once wrote a book to praise Prince Zaiyu's twelve equal laws, how could he not understand the sound law? ”
Chang Wei bowed his head and said: "Don't dare, although the minister doesn't know the rhythm, he can also listen to the skillful skills of the mother, and the piano music played by Fang Cai is the best work!"
"Oh, please advise the Princess!" said the Queen, looking up at him.
Chang Wei scolded secretly in his heart, originally he respected the queen very much, but after knowing that she was an ethereal disciple, that bit of goodwill disappeared, but disgust is disgust, and he has to answer.
Stubbornly said nonsense: "Niangniang's piano music, the tune is smooth, the ring is free, the piano sound is melodious, endless, and the minister is fascinated." ”
The queen smiled dumbly, "The prince of the country is really just a word, and he has a lot of knowledge!"
The emperor shook his head and said, "Do you really not understand or do you not understand it?"
Chang Wei had to smile awkwardly, and then lowered his head and gagged his mouth with the imperial meal, he didn't plan to speak again, but the queen didn't want to let him go.
"The song has not yet been enjoyed, why don't you play a song in the palace, please appreciate it to the emperor and the prince?"
Chang Wei wanted to say no, but it was not only him who asked, and he didn't dare to offend the queen openly, the queen plucked the strings a few times, adjusted the string tone, and began to focus on playing.
The so-called qin is the voice of the heart, the guqin is not suitable for others to appreciate, only suitable for self-appreciation, unless everyone thinks the same, it is difficult to resonate.
After the song was played, the emperor shouted hello, and the queen regained her elegant and calm appearance, and asked Chang Wei how the song was.
This song happened to Chang Wei knew, so he simply made a joke: "Chen Wen, during the Jiaping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Yong entered Qingxi to visit Mr. Guigu, and the mountain where he lived had five songs, one song made and one lane, and the east song of the mountain often had immortals to travel, so he wrote "You Spring"; there was a stream in the south song, and he often wrote "Lu Shui" in winter and summer; he wrote "Secluded Dwelling" in the middle song, which was deep and lonely, and he made "Secluded Dwelling"; he was high in the north and was collected by apes and birds, and he was sad to sit on the feelings, so he wrote "Sitting Sad"; Xiqu irrigated water and sang in autumn, so he wrote "Autumn Thoughts". Three years into the song, showing the celebrity Ma Rong, very different. ”
"Niangniang just a song, like a mountain flowing water, murmuring and delicate, a hundred turns and thousands of times, clear to the bottom, refreshing. When it is \'Lushui\' there is no doubt about it!"
After that, Chang Wei searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and found a poem, "The water is bright and the autumn moon is bright, and the South Lake picks apples." The lotus flowers are coquettish, and they are sad to kill the boaters. Her Royal Highness the Queen has excellent piano music, and I admire it!"
Although Chang Wei has shown many talents, he is by no means a literati who talks about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the emperor was a little surprised, "You really know the qin? ”
Chang Wei opened his mouth and lied: "In the past, the second brother told the ministers about Cai Wenji, and by the way, he remembered her father's affairs, and the other ministers really didn't understand." ”
The queen nodded lightly and said, "Guogong is a first-class scholar and scholar, so why be modest." It's just that the Duke of the Kingdom should have an idea and demeanor, and the bold rhetoric in the court discussion will inevitably damage the reputation of the Duke of the Nation, and it will also disappoint the emperor's cultivation heart. ”
Hearing me scolding, so he rushed to teach me a lesson? Now, Chang Wei understood why the queen came to the Qianqing Palace now, but she was definitely not a eunuch, so she deliberately said this in front of the emperor, was it to show her posture? Is it really to compete for favor with Ke Yinyue? Unfortunately, the competition for favor does not use the capital of his own country, but uses this method that does not hurt or itch, and the effect is too bad!
Chang Wei is not a person who can be taught by others, he sat upright, lowered his eyelids and said: "The minister is not a literati, the minister is just a scholar." ”
"Oh?" the emperor glanced at the empress, then at Chang Wei, his brows moved and asked, "What do you say?"
Chang Wei replied calmly: "The minister thinks that there are two kinds of scholars, one is called literati and the other is called scholars. ”
"The literati are contemptuous, they are timid, cowardly and shameless, they must be called Confucius and Mencius, and they must talk about Cheng Zhu. However, the words of the saints are nothing more than a tool for them to grab profits, and they can change their position at any time in order to get promoted and make a fortune. Not to mention betraying friends and breaking the law, there is no faith at all. ”
"The literati have no ability, but they like to be vassals and elegant, flattering the high-ranking people, they form gangs, fight against dissidents, and envy the virtuous. When encountering those who do a little bit and are weak, the literati disdain them and are jealous in their hearts, and then they attack them en masse, insulting, criticizing, framing, and doing everything they can. However, when encountering strong and tough means, they will shamelessly sing praises of merit and virtue, and then flatter and stutter, which is extremely despicable!"
"Scholars are angry, they are stiff and stubborn, one is one, two is two, good is good, bad is bad, only recognize reason, not people. Usually don't cause trouble and just do things, once someone does something that violates the truth and the law, they will do their best, looking at Wenwen's weakness, but it will make the literati tremble. ”
"There have always been many literati and few scholars in the imperial court, but it is with these scholars who dare to sacrifice their lives to fight each other at these critical moments, that the imperial court can operate safely and avoid big mistakes!"
"Literati, scholars. ”
The emperor muttered to herself, the queen was thoughtful, and for a while, the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace fell silent. (To be continued.) )
