Throughout the ages, everything in the officialdom has been about "self-humility." The emperor wants to reward his ministers. The ministers cannot accept them directly, but should modestly "say thank you." This time, the ministers "reluctantly" accepted the offer, showing their noble character of not taking credit or being arrogant. Otherwise, they would be criticized and ridiculed, thinking that the appearance was too ugly.
In the same way, for ministers with a certain status, even if the emperor orders them to resign, the minister must first write a letter and actively request to "resign" or "take up an official position", and the emperor will only grant the request after several false attempts to retain him.
The emperor cannot be left with the reputation of treating his ministers harshly...
At present, Chang Sun Wuji recommends Xiao Rui to be the Chief Protector of the Hanhai Protectorate. As Xiao Rui's father, even if Xiao Rui thinks that his son deserves the title, he has to be humble and reject it, otherwise he will be considered Arrogant and arrogant.
His Majesty Li Er's original intention is that although Changsun Wuji recommended it and his words are irrefutable, I am really not satisfied, but it is not easy to refuse directly. After all, you have to take your face into consideration, so you should be humble and refuse it yourself. , then I walked down the slope and rejected Changsun Wuji’s request.
Normally, this would be a normal thing. With Xiao's IQ, he could react in the blink of an eye and cooperate with the emperor to put on a good show.
Between the monarch and his ministers, this kind of thing has not happened once or twice, and there is a tacit understanding.
But now, Xiao's thoughts are different from the emperor's...
He knew exactly what was going on with Xiao Siye.
The internal and external cooperation, and the "dead time" are all nonsense. All of this is Fang Jun's trick to deceive the emperor in order to restore the reputation of the Xiao family. Now, Xiao Siye's deeds are being praised by audiences all over the world, and the Xiao family's reputation has skyrocketed, making everyone in the family, from the elderly to the children, proud and proud.
The Xiao family of Lanling, a noble family in Nanliang and a heirloom of poetry and calligraphy, has never produced such a heroic son...
Others didn't know the hidden meaning, so they could look around proudly as they should, but every time he heard about it, Xiao Chang's face was filled with shame and he felt ashamed.
Then he remembered Fang Jun's goodness even more.
What a good uncle...
Now when the emperor asked about it, Xiao couldn't say goodbye as humbly as before.
Although he always said a few words of humility in the past, the emperor then gave some gentle words of encouragement and implemented the reward. The ministers do not take credit for themselves and are proud of themselves. The emperor will reward his merits and everyone will be happy.
But not now.
Because he was afraid that once he said a few words modestly, the person next to him who coveted the position of the Great Protector of the Hanhai Protectorate would make trouble, causing the emperor to change his mind and no longer allow Xiao Rui to serve as the Great Protector.
Although this probability is low, it is by no means impossible.
Just imagine, Fang Jun risked the crime of "crime of deceiving the emperor" to cover up the fact that Xiao Siye collaborated with the enemy and treason, and even confused right and wrong by describing "treason" as "death". Once these things are leaked, what will happen? What a heinous crime?
A young high-ranking official with a bright future was destined to become the prime minister in the future, so he was punished by the emperor and even demoted to a commoner... Not to mention that the Xiao family has since lost a backer who will be extremely tough in the future. The feeling of guilt in his heart also made Xiao unacceptable.
People treat me like the bright moon, how can I turn my heart to the ditch?
The most important thing is to win the position of Hanhai Protectorate and control all of Mobei, making it impossible for any flaw in Xiao Siye's matter to be spread.
Not only has Fang Jun's protective heart been restored, but this matter can also be concluded, and nothing will happen again, and the family's reputation will not be tarnished by Xiao Siye...
Xiao Xin read the telegram, and after His Majesty Li Er asked, he pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Logically speaking, if Changsun Wuji recommends a bad person, the old minister should avoid suspicion... However, Han Feizi once said: External promotion is not allowed. Avoid enmity, and do not avoid children in internal promotions. Veteran ministers dare not compare themselves to Han Feizi, but Han Feizi is smart and calm since he was a child. He has been in the Ministry of Husbandry and Taichang Temple in these years, and has many political achievements. He should be able to serve as the Great Protector of the Hanhai Protectorate. It is our duty to stabilize the situation in Mobei, appease the Tiele tribes, and eliminate military dangers in the northern frontier of the empire."
Ah!
All the ministers in the palace were surprised and looked at Xiao.
This kind of "grandma selling melons" style is not like Xiao's usual style...
But since everyone has said this, and you are coveting this position, you can't say that your son is not suitable in front of Xiao, right?
That would be enmity.
His Majesty Li Er felt as if there was a stone stuck in his heart...
Mother!
This Xiao doesn't follow the routine, what's going on?
But after I asked the question, Xiao Rui also answered it. I can't find fault at this time and say what Xiao Rui is doing, right?
In fact, he has no objection to Xiao Rui. Not only does he have no objection, but he values it very much.
Princess Xiangcheng is the eldest daughter of His Majesty Li Er, and the oldest among the daughters. When the princess was young, His Majesty Li Er paid little attention to her, but as she grew older, the princess had good looks, a skillful temperament, a friendly and filial personality, and exemplary words and deeds, and was quite favored by His Majesty Li Er.
So just like Emperor He of the Han Dynasty asked the queens and nobles to learn from Ban Zhao, and Emperor Wu of the Qi Dynasty ordered Han Lanying to teach the concubines and princesses in the harem, His Majesty Li Er also repeatedly issued edicts to let the princesses follow the example of Princess Xiangcheng.
His Majesty Li Er's princess treats her parents-in-law as if she were her own biological parents. She has everything she needs in the morning and dusk, starting from Princess Xiangcheng.
Love the house and the bird, naturally love Xiao Rui...
Therefore, although I was very disgusted with Xiao Siye's affairs in my heart, who said that it was the tone set by myself? Now there is Xiao who "does not avoid relatives when promoting good people", so he has to hold his nose and admit it.
He looked at the ministers in the palace and asked: "Ashnasmo is determined to resign from the post of Chief Protector of the Shanyu Protectorate. He has written several times with a firm attitude. Although I tried to persuade him, he could not change his mind. Monan was The importance of the barrier in Guanzhong and the fence to the east of the river needs no elaboration. Therefore, the candidates for the Shanyu Protectorate must be carefully selected. Do you have a suitable person?"
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then Cen Wenwen said: "Wei minister recommends Yu Wen Chanti."
Many ministers, including His Majesty Li Er, were slightly stunned.
Yuwen Chanti?
This name is so weird and unfamiliar...
His Majesty Li Er thought for a long time before he remembered that this was Yuwen Shiji's son.
There is also an allusion to Yuwen Chanti's name.
Princess Nanyang, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, was born to Empress Xiao and was deeply favored by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty. During the Daye period, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty visited the south of the Yangtze River and often took Princess Nanyang with him. He doted on her more deeply than any other prince. When he was fourteen years old, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty married him to Yuwen Shiji, the son of Xu Guogong Yuwenshu, a handsome and talented son of the aristocratic family.
After the marriage, Princess Nanyang was in harmony with Yuwenshi, the harp and the harp, and the luan and the phoenix sang together. The couple loved each other and gave birth to a son, named Zen Master Yuwen.
This is the story of a talented man, a beautiful woman, and a happy life.
However, the good times did not last long. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to Yangzhou. Yu Wenhua and the regicide conspired to rebel. He killed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. The Yuwen family and the Yang family had a blood feud and were inseparable. When Zhiyu Wenhuaji was defeated by Dou Jiande and fled in panic, Princess Nanyang and her son fell into the hands of Dou Jiande.
Dou Jiande killed all the captured Yuwen family members. Because Princess Nanyang's son, Zen Master Yuwen, was also a bloodline of the Yuwen family, he was included in the beheading list. Dou Jiande sent Wu Benlang Yu Shicheng to say to Princess Nanyang: "Yu Wenhuaji committed regicide, which is not tolerated by humans and gods. Now the general will destroy his clan. The princess's son should obey the law. If he cannot part with her, he should be kept." If you insist, you don't have to kill him.
Princess Nanyang cried and said: "Since Wu Ben is a noble official of the Sui Dynasty, why should I ask about this matter?"
Yu Wenhua and the regicide had a grudge against Princess Nanyang for killing their father. They were enemies of the country and the family. They were already sworn enemies in this life. His son was a bloodline of the Yuwen family, so he should naturally die.
Then Zen Master Yuwen was killed...
Later, Yu Wenshiji fought back, defeated Dou Jiande, and rescued Princess Nanyang. Yu Wenshiji went to meet him, but Princess Nanyang angrily rejected him, saying: "You and I are enemies, and I just wish I couldn't kill you. Just because of the order." When my brother conspired to rebel, you didn't know about it in advance." So he announced that he was severing relations with Yuwenshiji and sternly told him to leave as soon as possible. Yu Wenshiji still begged, but Princess Nanyang said angrily: "If you definitely want to die, you can come in and see me."
Yu Wenshiji saw that she was so determined and knew that he could not convince her, so he left in tears...
Later, when Yu Wenshi returned to the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er betrothed the daughter of the clan to him, and gave birth to a son Yu Wen Chanti and a daughter Yu Wen Shutaro. They were already engaged to His Majesty Li Er's thirteenth son, King Zhao Li Fu.
"Chanti" is a Buddhist term, which means "referring to the root of never becoming a Buddha", which refers to the evil fate in the heart. It can be seen that Yu Wenshiji is still brooding about Princess Nanyang and cannot let go.
