Han Shizu

Chapter 1592
"If I remember correctly, the national treasure is almost thirty!" After chatting for a while, Emperor Liu brought the topic to Wei Xianxin who had been serving him respectfully, and asked with a smile.

"Return to Your Majesty, the minister is right to stand!" Wei Xianxin was a little surprised that Emperor Liu took care of him, and he didn't dare to neglect, and calmly moved in response.

"You are not too young at this age. You have a family and a career. Now you and your sons and daughters can play and play in the courtyard and the street. Why are you still unknown and staying in this mansion?" Did your father find an errand for you?"

Hearing this, Wei Renpu felt a little tight in his heart, but he didn't speak, just looked at his son.Wei Xianxin seemed to have heard the meaning behind the words, and said calmly: "How can the state's public artifacts be handed over privately? I already have two elder brothers, who have both ability and political integrity. Be loyal and do your best for the court. The minister has no morals and incompetence, and has an embarrassing task. He can only serve his parents at home and handle some trivial matters in the house with full filial piety.

What's more, thanks to His Majesty's grace, I have been sheltered by my father. I have to pay homage to Chao Sanlang, eat the salary of the court, and enjoy the grace of Your Majesty. I have no merits for the court, and I have no merits. I am ashamed and self-sufficient. Want more”

"Chao Sanlang is also considered an official?" Emperor Liu smiled, and said to Wei Renpu: "Daoji, it is said that the seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister, but you are the former prime minister, the head of all officials, and the model of the officials. Yuan Conggu, 24 ministers, how could he be so stingy to his son?
Chao Sanlang, from the seventh grade of scattered officials, there are not a hundred in the court, but there are eighty, too mediocre, too humble, it's a matter of one word."

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Wei Renpu had no choice but to express his opinion. With a touch of emotion on his old face, he said earnestly: "Although the old minister has done a little bit of work, but your majesty's kindness to the father and son is as great as Mount Tai. I should be grateful. Insatiable?
What's more, the eldest son and the second son of the old official have already taken important responsibilities in the state capital. This is all the love and care of His Majesty.As for the youngest son, he has a calm temperament and is not interested in officialdom. It is enough to be able to take care of the family.

As for Chao Sanlang, how can you talk about being humble? How many officials in the world are hardworking and hardworking, but they are not yet in the top ranks, and how many officials have worked hard for ten years before they can be awarded by the imperial court.

The youngest son of this minister has no merits in the imperial court, and he is only entrusted with his shade. The old minister Shang Jueen has been treated too well."

"You father and son are really carved out of the same mold. They are both humble and content!" Hearing his statement, Emperor Liu chuckled and commented: "I can see that there are more people fighting for power, fame and favor. Let's take Yin Guan as an example. I don't know how many heroes and nobles there are. I wish I could give their children a real job and a fat job?
You father and son are like a clear stream in the court!Listening to his words, quite a sense of refreshment! "

"Your Majesty, it's not that the father and son of the old ministers are noble!" Seeing Emperor Liu firing the map cannon, Wei Renpu didn't mean to cut himself off, and said slowly: "Your Majesty's reward, the official position of the court, both the minister and the son enjoy, but feel that, It shouldn’t be taken for granted.”

"That's true! I feel comfortable listening to it!" Emperor Liu laughed.

His eyes turned to Wei Xianxin again, he didn't realize it before, but now he just noticed that this person's clothes are really simple, even though he wore brocade clothes in the mountains, but he didn't know how long he had worn them, not to mention that he didn't have any gold or jade accessories with him, and that kind of calm demeanor, I'm afraid I also learned [-]% from Wei Renpu.

Unavoidably showing some approval in his eyes, Emperor Liu said to Wei Xian with a smile: "National treasure, you are really different from ordinary heroes and honorable children. I have seen so many younger generations. If you want to make meritorious deeds, are you not tempted at all?"

"The minister has little knowledge"

Wei Xianxin wanted to talk to Emperor Liu, but was interrupted directly by Emperor Liu, saying: "I like humble people, but excessive modesty is not only conceited, but also hypocritical!"

These words were a bit serious, and Wei Xianxin was taken aback. The honest man was so startled that his face flushed, and he was in a hurry. He wanted to defend himself, but Emperor Liu waved his hand: "Tranquility does not mean that you have no ambition. Since you were born in an honorable family and ate Lumi from the imperial court, you have duties and obligations to the imperial court.

If you want to be alone and detached from the outside world, it's not that simple!Besides, how can a man live in the mansion and take care of trivial matters? I think you should get out of the mansion and see the outside world! "

In Emperor Liu's words, the meaning of appointing an official is already very obvious, but Wei Xianxin is a little at a loss. Is it to listen to the hadith, is it to thank you?Or refuse?He couldn't help looking at his father for help.

Seeing this, Wei Renpu also took the initiative to speak, his attitude was still calm and honest: "It is his honor to encourage the dog so much. If there is a gift, the minister should be the first to thank you. However, the old minister hopes that he will treat this old man as a substitute. After the death, if you try to serve the country again, if your majesty does not change your original intention, you will do your best to be loyal and diligent!"

"Daoji, you have said so, can I still take this affection?" Emperor Liu looked at Wei Renpu quietly for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I noticed that the Ministry of Households needs to add a few Yuanwailang, look at the national treasure. He manages the house well, and feels worthy of his duties. However, speaking of this, let him reserve the position of Uiro in the household department for the time being!"

"Your Majesty, you must not neglect state affairs because of this situation!" Wei Renpu said.

Emperor Liu waved his hand: "National official affairs are complicated and complicated, but they will not be neglected just because there is one more person or one less person. If so, either the system is not perfect, or the officials are not doing their best!"

"Your Majesty's words are true, the old minister is shallow!"

After sweeping across the father and son, Emperor Liu smiled again, and said in a teasing tone: "So many people want to be promoted and appointed with important responsibilities, and looking for opportunities, they will try their best to make insinuations, overtly and covertly. Asking for an official from the imperial court. It is very rare for me to take the initiative to ask for an official now, but I was declined politely. This is really, really rare."

Emperor Liu looked like he had a novel experience, but Wei Renpu didn't dare to take it as a joke at all, and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty's words make the old officials and their sons feel panic!"

Emperor Liu hesitated, and shook his head lightly: "This is not my intention, it's just a chat to express emotion!"

Sighing slightly, Emperor Liu calmed down the inexplicable emotion, looked directly at Wei Renpu, and said peacefully: "I am visiting the mansion this time, apart from visiting Daoji's condition, I have something to ask, I hope it can clear up the confusion!"

Hearing this, Wei Renpu respectfully said: "Your Majesty is inquiring, and the old minister should know everything and say everything!"

Emperor Liu smiled slightly: "I heard that Daoji is dying, and even the posthumous memorial has been prepared. I am a little curious, what can I say when I can't live? Do you want to learn from Wang Pu? Or , after death, dare to speak more?"

Emperor Liu's light words made Wei Renpu's complexion change drastically. No matter how decayed and weak his body was, he had no choice but to support his sick body. He knelt at the feet of Emperor Liu with difficulty. He calmed down a bit: "Your Majesty knows clearly, the old minister has no other intentions, it's just, just"

Even Wei Renpu, who is known for his intelligence, doesn't know how to answer this kind of question. This kind of heart-wrenching question cannot be answered with just a few words.

After all, Emperor Liu didn't really ask Wei Renpu for an explanation, and during the cautious response of the father and son, they had an awkward chat for a while, and Emperor Liu drove back to the palace without even staying for a meal.

However, his goal was achieved, at least it confirmed the guess in his heart. Wei Renpu did have something to say to him, and there were too many things buried in his heart, but due to some reasons, he was unwilling or afraid to speak directly.

On this point, I have to say that Emperor Liu has a knot in his heart. After so many years of friendship between the monarch and his ministers, why should he be so secretive and refuse to speak out, but he has prepared a suicide note early!
