241, recruiting
"I said, brother, I heard that Emperor Lao Shizi has been hardworking since he took office for two years. After that, he was in power for twenty-one years, and never went to the court for another day. He lived in the palace all day long, and lived in the palace for a lewd life... Tsk tsk! The world always said that Gong Jiali was three thousand, I really don't know what he felt like!"
In the broken hotel on the corner of Pei Sicheng Street, a strong man following his elder brother laughed and found a pretty solid seat for him. He carefully cleared the seats and the dust on the table, and then took out the wine bag from his arms and handed it to the elder brother. He talked about the absurd days of Emperor Qinglong, and he couldn't help but be full of envy.
His elder brother was born with a majestic encounter. He wore a golden ring under his nose and a marten cloak, but he could not hide his fierce and hostile aura. He seemed to be intimidating with the bloody smell that seemed to be revealed from his bones.
After the laughing subordinates swept away all the dust, he sat down with a golden knife, took the wine bag and slurped and drank loudly, allowing the wine from the corners of his mouth to drip from the stubble, and the drinking also showed a generous and reckless spirit.
Drinking half a bag of knife wine, the smell of alcohol heated up the blood. He laughed and shouted "Happy", then wiped away the wine stains from his mouth, curled his lips and sneered: "No matter how much Gong Jiali Sanqian is, they are all beautiful women like flowers, but even if it is your strong body like a calf, you can't bear it every day, sheng, flute, and 5, right?"
"If it were me..." The man who was accompanying him looked intoxicated, but after a moment, he suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "This woman is just a sweet taste. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is like a flower and a fairy-looking woman, she should feel tired after playing for a long time. Besides, everyone knows that this fun thing should not be overflowed, as overflowing will hurt the body. I, Liu Saner, also knows that it is enough to stop her. It's just that she has been outside the pass for too long, so she can't mention the woman, and when she lifts it up, she can't stop her thoughts... But this emperor is extremely debauchery day and night. Could it be that she doesn't even understand the principle that overflowing hurts her body?"
"Do you like this life as an emperor?"
The elder brother sneered again when he heard this, "Listen to the market, I just say that there were two old emperors in the Qinglong Dynasty, one was the debauchery of Emperor Qinglong, and the other was the chief minister of the cabinet that was powerful all over the world! This prime minister Gao was lucky. He had such a disciple of the emperor who did not care about the affairs of the court and was content with pleasure. He had already taken the entire court into his hands, ranging from the court officials to the confusion of the border, from the small officials to the sixth rank of officials, and the prince's food. He was in power. The huge Qinglong country, he respected him, and the court and the people were jokingly called the "Zao Emperor". His power had long surpassed the incompetent emperors! With such a "good prime minister", what could he do if he was a young man in Qinglong?"
The strong man who was accompanying him frowned and thought hard when he heard this, then said in surprise: "If this is the case, could this 'Zao Emperor' also have the thought of 'taking turns to be the throne and coming to my house this year'?"
"Ha!" The eldest brother laughed strangely and said sarcastically: "But you are highly esteeming the ambition of this 'Zao Emperor'!"
"This tall man is lofty, but he is a literary man and is of the most important reputation. He is not a good deal with us. He is not a good deal with us! What people think is that when he is in office, he governs the country and pacifies the world, and seeks fame and fortune that are famous in history. But when it comes to changing dynasties, he is afraid that the first one will jump out to be a loyal minister! If he wants to be the leader of this rioter in the country, he will not be willing to be beaten to death because of this traitor in history, and he will not be able to kill him. Secondly... he does not have the ability to plan for the country!"
The man who called himself Liu Saner was a little smart. He was thinking when he heard the elder brother's advice. After a moment, he suddenly realized: "Brother is this tall man..."
The eldest brother was very satisfied with Liu Saner's intelligence. He patted his shoulder to praise him. He suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Since ancient times, it has been said that literati have a hard life to plan a country. Looking at the past and present, those who want to plan a country must make a fortune by force, and should have their own military power. They may have elite soldiers and generals or loyal men, so that they can compete for the world. But in this court, although he is tall and powerful, and is known as the "Zaodi", the Ministry of War of the Central Court is the loyal control of Qinglong's child. He has been soaked in for many years and has no way to start. No matter how powerful he is, he has no soldiers or generals under his command, how dare he talk about planning a country?"
Liu Saner suddenly realized and nodded, then said, "This Qinglong child is not really useless. He is finally a little clever and knows how to hold on to the military power. No wonder he dares to delegate power so much and indulges this 'Zhun Emperor' to control the government..."
Speaking of this, he was slightly shocked and looked at his elder brother in shock, "But now, this Gao Da Man issued a 'Admission Order' to recruit traitors from all over the world and appease him to serve as an official position. In addition, we brothers outside the pass, and even those overseas Japanese pirates, are all among them. In this way, is it... it's this Gao Da Man..."
When the elder brother heard this, he sneered, "We don't need to speculate that this old man Gao is very thoughtful. He has Zhang Liang's plan. I have a bridge ladder, but it has nothing to do with it! Now that we have a great family and have a great career, we still have to plan carefully to plan for the country. This trick just gives me a great opportunity to strengthen our troops and recruit talents. We should be vain and pretend to recruit people, but we actually have to build momentum."
After taking great pains to finally explain this idea to his confidant Liu Saner. Seeing that Liu Saner showed admiration, the eldest brother was very proud of his heart, and then he exhorted: "You go out and greet your brothers, and secretly tell them my painstaking efforts, so that they won't be disappointed because of my acceptance of the amnesty. Then..."
His eyes were cold and he had a domineering aura of arrogance, but he immediately stopped. He rubbed the sabre on his waist that had been drinking blood for many years and sneered: "Then he called the dog official who came to recruit him, and said I was shouting... accepting the recruitment!"
At this moment, the capital of the Qinglong Dynasty, in front of the noon gate of the palace, the full court officials gathered here.
At the front of the officials was the powerful first-rank official, Gao, the chief minister of the cabinet. He looked thin, his hair was gray and his face was very unusual at this moment, and his eyes were complicated to look at the scene where the court stick was in front of the door, and he was silent like the officials.
The one who was on the court stick in front of the door was a tough guy. The stick with a bowl was smashed down hard. After the ten sticks were already covered in flesh and blood. The pain was unbearable to witness it, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing, calmly enduring the death penalty for the court stick.
"Stop!"
The closed Wumen gate suddenly opened, and a father-in-law screamed and came out with his hands. Seeing the tragic situation of the minister being punished, he also looked unbearable and sighed before saying, "The emperor called the clerk out and asked Lord Fu, are you aware of your mistake now?"
After hearing this, the minister close to Fu Yan suddenly had his eyes brightened, knowing that Fu Yan was indeed very kind. He said that he was a saint who was given a death sentence. The saint's anger caused by such a great rebellious incident, even Gao Gong did not dare to ask for help for him. However, after a moment, the saint still felt unbearable and called his father-in-law to come and ask. I guess Fu Yan had to change his words a little, and there was still room for this matter to turn around.
Gao Gong is also a talented person, and he loves Fu Yan, the "head of the Six Yuan", even more. He knows that he is a rare good minister like Emperor Qinglong. Therefore, he has been working hard for many years, hoping that Fu Yan's good seedling can be ground into a towering tree. When the emperor takes power in the future, Fu Yan should be the best choice to take over as the chief minister. He will surely make this famous world a good fortune and take the weather to a higher level.
Therefore, Gao Gong always takes care of Yan's unconventional jade talent, and almost treats him as a disciple. He treats him like a parent-child. However, after he speaks bluntly, Gao Gong regrets him very much. He doesn't know why the good seedlings that have been cultivated for many years have sought death. Even if he, the imperial teacher and the chief assistant, want to save him... he can't save him.
Until now, Gao Gong's silence seemed to be turning around, and he once again felt hopeful. He wanted to persuade Fu Yan to surrender to the pilgrimage and see if he could save him, but after thinking about it, he decided to ask the holy intention first and then talk about it.
"I dare to ask Eunuch Hong, I wonder what the Emperor... means?"
After hearing the inquiry from the chief minister of the dynasty, Eunuch Hong did not dare to be slight, and bowed respectfully, and smiled carefully, "Reporting to Gao Fuzhao, the emperor said, 'I think Fu Yan is arrogant because of his favor, and I blame me for spoiling him too much, so I have now been disrespectful and causing such a traitor. However, he is really a talented person with great knowledge. He has the power to manage the country. In the future, he will be kept to assist the prince in governing the country. This is what he gives.
I still can't bear it if I die. Let me do this. Hong Li, ask him for it. If he knows his mistake, he will be demoted to the office of three levels and sent him to the mansion to think about it for two years. When I really know that he is wrong, I will become the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. If I still refuse to repent... Humph! I have a lot of talents in the world, and there is no shortage of Fu Yan. Since he dares to scold me, I will fulfill his thoughts that are in history! I will still be killed by the court!"
As soon as this was said, all officials were in an uproar and looked at Lord Fu Yanfu, who was covered in wounds under the court stick. Some were envious and some were jealous. Even speaking bluntly to scold the saint could make the saint unable to bear to kill him. The punishment was more like a lesson than a punishment.
It is said that the official was demoted to three levels and he thought about it for two years behind closed doors, but he later became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. The way he followed was obvious to these official elites.
He became the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and after two years of transfer, he should be promoted to the left minister. When the old Minister of Rites retired, Fu Yan could naturally take over as the position of Shangshu. Later, he should be the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and he would still be the chief minister in the future. Such kindness is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and is really extraordinary.
Gao Gong was relieved, and he couldn't help but feel jealous of this young man who could treat him differently. But at this moment, he was also happy for Fu Yan and quickly persuaded him with kindness: "Li Yan (Fu Yan's font size), it is rare for the Lord to be kind to the Lord. Forgive your sin of great rebellion. You will be soft-hearted to the Lord to explain your unruly words."
Hearing Gao Gong led the way, the other officials responded repeatedly, comforting Lord Fu, who was destined to rise to the top, and showed his friendship.
Fu Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke hoarsely and hard: "Dude Hong, I, Fu Liyan, was originally the Censor of the Left Capital, and I have the responsibility to advise. However, the emperor is guilty, so I should point it out for me, but I don't know what the crime is?"
When the officials heard this, they were stunned and silent. Eunuch Hong sighed, waved his hand to continue the court stick, and turned to the palace to report to the pilgrimage.
After a few more than two hundred sticks, he finally beat Fu Yan's last breath. He suddenly turned back, closed his eyes and laughed, and murmured faintly: "I am dealing with the world with integrity. Only when I come to this point can I realize the true meaning of integrity. I have a worthwhile life... It's just that my wife and my son have suffered..."
Before he could finish his words, his turbid air had been exhausted. He passed away while the officials around him were gloating or sighing and regretful.
However, these officials with naked eyes could not see a plump and round particle flying away from their body, escaping into the black hole in the void, without a trace in a flash.
