Datang Nongwang

Chapter 773 Pull Wang Ting to take office

Wu Cairen winked over frequently, Li Chongyuan couldn't bear it.

Not to mention the fact that people are so beautiful.

In front of Empress Changsun and all the concubines in the harem, she frequently winked at Li Chongyuan, a foreign minister. If Li Shimin saw this, he would think Li Chongyuan was having an affair with his woman.

Li Chongyuan was a little scared, and really couldn't resist Wu Meiniang's temptation, so he bowed and thanked Wu Cairen: "Thank you, Shande, for the agricultural books and food. Wu Cairen is a noble person in the palace. It is already an honor to eat food made by a martial artist once, so why dare to beg for a second time. Besides, there are differences between inside and outside, men and women are different, and goodness dare not surpass."

After hearing this, Wu Cairen blinked his eyes in displeasure, and stopped talking.

Everyone didn't notice Wu Cairen's subtle movements of winking at Li Chongyuan, and everyone didn't think about it, and they didn't pay much attention to the expressions of the two of them.

That's right.

Li Chongyuan is only a foreign minister, and he is also a member of the clan. As a nobleman in the palace, why should he wink at someone outside?

Even if you can't stand loneliness and want to get physical and mental comfort, you can't do it at will.

If this gets out, everyone knows what the outcome will be.

of course.

Is there such a thing in this palace? Those who have done it are cautious, and those who have not done it are An Ran. Don't talk about those who have ideas.

Within the forbidden palace, it is really difficult to find a normal man.

The emperor has only one person and only one body, and he still has to deal with state affairs on weekdays, so how can he have the energy to exert himself every day.

Even if the emperor was young and strong, his body would collapse within a year or two if he continued like this.

and so.

Within the confinement of the palace, the women in the palace are naturally lonely and unbearable, always wanting to find a normal man to relieve their desires.

If you really can't find it, then you can only find a birdless person in the palace to solve it.

If found out, the woman will be sent to the cold palace, and the eunuch will directly execute her.

and so.

In every dynasty and generation, there are countless things like this in this palace.

If it is not publicized, it is over if it is contained in the palace.

If it is publicized and spread to the people, it will always become the talk and joke behind the people's backs.

Back to the point.

After hearing this, Empress Changsun smiled indifferently and said: "Shande has a kind heart, don't bully him in the future. But what Meiniang said just now is right, Shande is dedicated to farming, good at farming, and prosperous in farming. I agree with this point. If you still have agricultural books in the palace, you might as well give them to Shande, this can be regarded as returning the gift of watermelon from Shande."

"Agricultural books are hard to find."

"That's right, there are only some books from my daughter's family in my palace, where can I find agricultural books."

"I don't have any in my palace either."

All the concubines said that there are no such books as agricultural books.

Li Chongyuan doesn't want agricultural books. What is in his mind can be written into a modern agricultural book. Why do you need these annoying agricultural books? "Aunt Tang, this agricultural book is fine. I still have dozens of books I haven't finished reading the agricultural books yet, there are too many agricultural books, and I don't have the time to read them."

"Then what do you want, Shande? Tell me, auntie. If you send so many watermelons, if auntie doesn't return some gifts to you, the outsiders will hear it, and they will probably say that I am auntie." Didn't do well." Queen Changsun asked.

"Aunt Tang, I don't need anything. The younger generation just gave the elder a few watermelons, so why would I need a gift in return. If my aunt finds out about this, I won't be able to say how ignorant I am." Li Chongyuan hurriedly replied .

Right now.

Wang Li suddenly came slowly and stood outside the hall, looking at the situation in the hall.

When Wang Li came, Empress Changsun had already noticed.

On the contrary, Li Chongyuan turned his back to the entrance of the hall, and did not know that Wang Li was coming.

Empress Changsun smiled softly, and waved to the outside of the hall, "Since Shande doesn't want anything, then leave this matter to your cousin."

After Queen Changsun waved, Wang Li walked into the hall.

"You lead Shande to see the Holy One." After Changsun Empress said softly, she looked at Li Chongyuan and said, "Shande, I am afraid that you will not only bring me some watermelons when you enter the palace. If there is anything wrong, follow Wang Li to see your hall Uncle go."

"Back to Aunt Tang, my nephew is really here to bring watermelon to Aunt Tang, and at the same time, he is also here to return a gift to a warrior, so there is nothing to bother His Majesty." Seeing Wang Li's sudden arrival, Li Chongyuan knew it in his heart.

After the eldest grandson heard the words, he didn't say any more.

Since Li Chongyuan said that, it must be because he didn't think about meeting Li Shimin.

Finally, after narrating some more words, Li Chongyuan came out of the hall.

When he came out of the hall, Li Chongyuan glanced at Wu Cairen.

This glance didn't matter, what mattered was that Wu Cairen was biting his lower lip with his upper teeth, looking like a wronged and resentful woman, Li Chongyuan wished his legs would turn into eight legs, and ran away like flying.

On the way out of the palace, Wang Li, who sent Li Chongyuan away, asked: "The Holy Majesty asked me to come here, just to see if you really sent watermelons into the palace. I'm also curious. Depending on the season, this watermelon can't be stored for a long time. If there is no ice to keep it in place, it will be broken in half a month, Li Junwang, you can't find this watermelon from the Eastern Continent, right?"

"Boss Wang, what are you thinking? The East Continent is [-] miles away from my Tang Dynasty, and watermelons are difficult to transport over long distances. If I transport watermelons back from the East Continent, they will probably rot already." It's over. To tell you the truth, these watermelons are produced by my Li village, and they have been stored in the cellar for several months. It happens that today I am going to the palace to give back the gift of agricultural books to Wu Cairen, so I sent some watermelons to the palace Yes. But speaking of it, you heard it just now, you have to take a leave of absence from the Holy Majesty, and follow me to Lizhuang to get some watermelons for the palace, otherwise, if the nobles in the palace don’t get one or two watermelons , I’m afraid it won’t be easy.” Li Chongyuan responded.

After Wang Li heard this, although he was puzzled, he nodded, "Then you wait for me outside the palace, and I will go ask the Holy Majesty."

Li Chongyuan smiled and went outside the palace to wait.

Wang Li returned to Li Shimin's political affairs hall. After rehabilitating Li Shimin, he got the word out of the palace and ran to Li Zhuang with Li Chongyuan.

On the road.

While the two were chatting, Wang Li suddenly said: "The Holy Majesty plans to prepare various food, grass, army, horses and equipment early next year, and plans to go east to Goguryeo in the year after. , I am going to send a general to your Xisha Island, as a supervisor. I will only pass on this matter to you, so don’t say too much.”

"What? Send a general to my Xisha Island to supervise the army? At the beginning, the Holy Majesty promised me that whether it is a shipyard or a ship, it is all in the hands of the Supreme Emperor's people and my people. How come the Holy One has changed his mind now? ?" Li Chongyuan was very upset when he heard Wang Li's words.

then.

Li Shimin asked about Li Chongyuan's ship, and he did agree to Li Chongyuan's request.

But within a few days, Li Shimin changed his mind. If Li Chongyuan was happy, it would not be Li Chongyuan.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan was agitated, Wang Li stretched out his hand to suppress him and said, "You don't have to be so excited. The Holy Majesty said that he only sent a general to supervise the army. I also said that there are not many soldiers under the command of General Zhonglang, only 300 soldiers. What can 300 soldiers do?"

"Three hundred soldiers are not many? How many people do you need? Director Wang, tell me, whose idea is this? Is it the Holy One or those ministers?" Li Chongyuan became more anxious.

Three hundred soldiers, with so many soldiers on board his own boat, if he really wanted to seize the boat, then Li Chongyuan would really have nothing to complain about.

But fortunately, I had prepared in advance, and sent Xingba to Xisha Island, and let Xingba drive the boat away.

It's really coming to that critical moment, Li Chongyuan would say that all his ships were taken away by an unscrupulous subordinate, or that his subordinates took the fleet to explore new lands, etc. There are various options reason.

At that time, Li Shimin wanted to get the boat, but it was useless.

Wang Li sighed softly and replied: "This is not the idea of ​​the Holy Majesty, but the idea of ​​the ministers. In fact, you also know that although the Holy Majesty can decide how to deal with all matters, you still have to respect the opinions of the ministers." idea."

"Who is it?" Li Chongyuan said angrily.

Wang Li said helplessly: "Actually, you don't need me to tell you, you can guess who that person is."

"Mr. Fang, you are really trying to destroy as long as I have something good. Mr. Fang, just wait for me." After Wang Li said so, Li Chongyuan knew it without even thinking about it. Who is it.

The one who can have enmity with the Li family, but can't see the Li family well, is nothing more than that Fang Xuanling.

Let's not talk anymore.

After arriving at Li Zhuang, Li Chongyuan left the matter to Qiao Su, pleaded guilty to Wang Li, and left in the carriage again.

Wang Li watched the carriage leave, and thought to himself, "It seems that I said something wrong.Li Chongyuan, you can't trap me, otherwise, if the Holy Majesty knows that I'm talking too much, he can't beat me to death. '

It is impossible to kill him, at most he will be ignored by Wang Li.

After all, the consequences of disclosing the discussions between the master and the ministers are not so easy to bear.

According to Li Chongyuan's instructions, Qiao Su got hundreds of watermelons from the cellar of the warehouse and handed them over to Wang Li to take them back to the palace.

Wan'er, who had come back from the Cihuai Temple in Niu Shou Mountain, was holding a piece of watermelon in her hand, biting it with her small mouth, feeling extremely unhappy, "These watermelons are for my uncle to eat, so much has been taken away, uncle." What else to eat."

"Master Li, there are still more than [-] left in the cellar." Wang Li was very helpless.

The watermelon belonged to Li Zhuang, Qiao Su said it was reserved for Li Yuan and her to eat, and Wan'er was right when she said that.

now.

Wan'er was naturally upset that Wang Li took away hundreds of people in one visit.

But no matter how unhappy, Wan'er can't help it.

Li Yuan didn't even ask about this matter, and she had nothing to do with Wang Li, at most she could only stamp her feet on the sidelines.

It is said that Li Chongyuan at this time returned to Chang'an again after leaving Lizhuang.

Li Chongyuan, who returned to Chang'an, went straight to the official department.

After staying from the official department until the end of noon, after getting what he wanted, he didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he went to the palace of the royal court.

"Brother Ting, this is your letter of appointment. I'll get it for you from the household department." As soon as he entered the Wang Ting's mansion, he sat down, drank a cup of tea, and took him out of his bosom directly from the household department. The letter of appointment from the ministry was handed over to Wang Ting.

After Wang Ting received the letter of appointment, he was a little puzzled and said, "Didn't it be agreed that the appointment was made by the household department? How did you get the appointment from Brother Chongyuan?"

"Things have changed. I need to take charge of Sinon Temple urgently, so I went directly to the Ministry of Households and asked for your letter of appointment, and I also got my own. You see." Li Chongyuan took out his letter of appointment from his pocket again.

Wang Ting was still puzzled, "What's the change? Could it be that someone in the court is obstructing it?"

"It's a long story. I'll talk about it with you later when I have free time. You are ready to change your official uniform and go with me to Sinong Temple." Li Chongyuan didn't bother to explain.

originally.

Today Li Chongyuan wanted to take the appointment letter from the Ministry of Officials to take up the post, but he only went by himself.

But today, Li Chongyuan suddenly changed his mind when he heard Wang Li's words, and invited Wang Ting to join him, and went directly to Sinong Temple to take up his post.

Don't look at the official position of Wang Ting is just Taicang Shucheng, just from the eighth rank, but they are the Wang family.

When Li Chongyuan went to take office, he would bring Wang Ting with him, which would put endless pressure on the people in Taicang Bureau, and he could also use his status as Wang Ting to suppress the officials in Sinong Temple.

Li Chongyuan is soft-spoken, and it may be difficult to suppress the officials of Sinong Temple at such a young age.

after all.

Li Chongyuan, Secretary of Agriculture, came here to make the officials feel a little strange, which also made the officials have their own thoughts.

If Li Chongyuan can bring Wang Ting to take office, it may have unexpected results.

Without further ado, Wang Ting put on the official uniform that Li Chongyuan had brought for him, took the imperial edict, brought the letter of appointment, got into the carriage, and went straight to Si Nong Temple.

Although Wang Ting was unwilling, he also thought that if his appointment letter was issued by the officials, his Wang Ting would have more face and more reputation.

Even, it can make his royal court's status in the royal family skyrocket.

Although the imperial edict had been issued long ago, the royal court kept it hidden from him. He did not send a letter back to Jinyang, nor did he know about his cousin Wang Zhong who would meet him.

For example, if his cousin Wang Zhong knew that he was an official in the royal court, he would have come to flatter him a long time ago, and would have passed the news back to the Jinyang Wang family.

Although Wang Ting was not reconciled, he also knew that Li Chongyuan had won this position for him.

If it goes against Li Chongyuan's wishes, Wang Ting knows very well whether he is still an official or not is another matter.

Although he wanted to be honest and right, neither time nor events waited for him.

On the carriage, Li Chongyuan also knew that his behavior was a little abrupt, so he reached out and patted Wang Ting's shoulder and said, "You don't have any other ideas. I did this wrong, but it only takes a year or two. Once it is planted, when the time comes, the Prime Minister of Sinong Temple will definitely have a place for you."

"That Ting is relying entirely on Brother Chongyuan here." After Wang Ting got Li Chongyuan's promise, he let go of his unhappiness and unwillingness.

Wang Ting knows.

His own Taicang Shucheng is only an official position from the eighth rank, but the official position of Si Nong Sicheng is from the sixth rank, which is not a star and a half higher than his current Taicang Cheng.
