Raid

Chapter 71 Flattery
Guan Zhi helped Emperor Yuan Jia walk in the imperial garden, all the way to the water pavilion.

Emperor Yuan Jia was praised by his courtiers because he came in and did a few things. He was in a great mood at this moment after he was swept away from the haze of his sinful edict.

Of course, because of the Queen's sincere words, now he and the Queen have reconciled, and their relationship is even better than before.

Now that he is busy with political affairs, it is rare for him to feel like a co-lord of the world.Now that things are so busy, it is easy for me to have leisure time, so I go to the imperial garden and cultivate myself by fishing.

After all, he had to keep his filial piety for the first emperor, and he couldn't do other things to entertain people. In the past, he might have secretly overstepped the rules, but now he and the queen just made an oath, so it's not easy to break it.

"The Shangshi Bureau got a few new cakes. This slave looks good. The emperor will try it and see if he likes it." Guan Zhi personally took out the cakes from the food box and served them attentively.

Emperor Yuan Jia was sitting by the water pavilion fishing, and when he heard what Guan Zhi said, he also took a piece to taste. He nodded, "It tastes good. Hmm... I remember that the queen seems to like this taste very much, how about it, Guan Zhi, You will send someone to give it to the queen to taste later."

"Hey." Guan Zhi's eyes sank slightly, but he still ordered.

Emperor Yuan Jia seemed to be very lucky today, he caught a fish in a short while, it was a carp.

"Oh, this is a good omen." Guan Zhi hurriedly helped to put the fish in the bucket, and he said, "The fish jumped over the dragon's gate, and Su Yu won the exam. Now that the Holy Majesty reopens Enke, doesn't it mean that the Holy Majesty can choose all of them?" Take the talents of the world for your own use, and rejuvenate the country?"

Emperor Yuan Jia was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help laughing: "You can talk, but how can there be such a good thing? You have selected all the talents in the world, but this is indeed a good sign, and it can be regarded as adding a bit of happiness. "

Guan Zhi smiled, and continued to flatter: "Your maidservant also heard that the emperor over there in the Southern Dynasty was named Li. Now that the Holy Majesty collects the carp in the barrel, besides getting all the heroes in the world, I am afraid that he will also recover the Southern Dynasty and wipe out the Southern Jin Li family." , a sign of unification."

"Where is it so exaggerated?" Although Emperor Yuanjia said this, he smiled more and more happily, obviously enjoying the words, "But, after all, it is you who are the most caring, and this mouth is the most capable. To please me."

What he said was right. Compared with his mouth, even the concubines in the harem might not know it.

Guan Zhi smiled more and more attentively, and continued: "Slaves are incompetent, they can't serve the country like the Taifu, and they can only use this little skill for the emperor's pleasure, as long as the Holy One doesn't dislike it."

He seemed to be pointing something in his words, but his expression didn't show it at all, as if he was wronged, but he didn't care.

"Alas——I know what you want to say, but the matter of Xirong hasn't passed long yet. Uncle Kang Wang hasn't passed his hundred days yet. If it's not good for the Shence Army, I'll return it to you now." Emperor Yuan Jia sighed , He lowered his eyes, originally he said that after the success of suppressing the bandits, Guan Zhi would return to control of the Shence Army, but then there was trouble with King Kang, and Guan Zhi knew that the Shence Army was not good for the time being.

However, Guan Zhi had a respectful and considerate look, "The sage is rich in the world, but he can't do whatever he wants. The slaves are no more than eunuchs, so how dare they make things difficult for the sage. It's just that the slaves see the sage's hard work, and they just want to share his worries. And Not for the Divine Strategy Army."

Emperor Yuan Jia turned pale, looked at Guan Zhi, "What do you want to do?"

"Now Enke is newly opened, and the court is arguing endlessly about the examiner. The servants think that they still know a few people who can be used, and want to recommend them to the Holy One, hoping to share the worries of the Holy One."

Emperor Yuan Jia thought for a while and shook his head, "I have already discussed this matter with the prime ministers of the three provinces, and I plan to appoint the Taifu as the examiner. As for the deputy examiner, I called the Taifu the day before yesterday, and I have already decided on a candidate. People go in. Besides, there seems to be a lot of objections to you from the students..."

Emperor Yuan Jia paused, and looked at Guan Zhi carefully, "What do you think of those students' attacks on you?"

Guan Zhi's heart skipped a beat, he knelt down immediately, and said earnestly: "In ancient times, the lonely ministers were often misunderstood by others, and the servants also knew it. The servants are humble, so naturally they dare not compare with the lonely ministers, but the loyalty of the servants is the same. Heaven and earth can learn from each other."

Thinking of Guan Zhi's actions in the future, Emperor Yuan Jia hurriedly asked Guan Zhi to stand up, "What are you doing kneeling? How can I not know you? It's just that the students are talking about it. Although I don't believe it, I don't want to go too far against it. , but I will wrong you."

Guan Zhi shook his head, sighed and said: "The slave is not wronged, the one who is wronged is the sage. As the son of heaven, the sage should be arbitrary, but he still has to submit to others. Although it is an act of benevolence and righteousness, it is too wronged."

Emperor Yuan Jia sighed again, but did not answer the words, obviously agreeing with Guan Zhi's words very much.

Guan Zhi is the best at observing words and expressions. He continued: "Now is the time when the country is attracting talents. Facing the criticism of the students, the servants dare not complain. It's just that these students are also confused in reading and reading, thinking that eunuchs are chaos in the country. But throughout the ages , The eunuchs of the chaotic country are all surrounded by the foolish king. The holy name is well-known, and everyone in the four realms surrenders, can it be possible to be a stupid king? Compared with what they say about slaves, slaves are more worried about the reputation of the holy one."

Emperor Yuan Jia's expression changed.

Guan Zhi felt complacent, and continued: "Although the scholars are the foundation of the country, the Holy One is the head of the country. Besides...Although Chen Run was arrogant at the beginning, he did two practical things. The spies were arrested by him. According to the spies, there are still many spies in the capital. The slaves have been in the temple for many years, and after several scientific investigations, there are many people who criticize the humble ministers, but there has never been such a situation."

"You mean..." Emperor Yuan Jia raised his eyes.

"The servant thinks that the students are extremely angry this time, and I'm afraid there are spies secretly instigating it, in order to use the servant to slander the Holy One and damage the reputation of the Holy One. This has to be guarded against." Guan Zhi said seriously.

Emperor Yuan Jia pursed his lips, his face was extremely ugly, the good mood when he first visited the garden was swept away by Guan Zhi's words, he slightly clenched his hand holding the fishing rod, "The test will start, for the sake of the overall situation For the sake of thinking, this matter should not become a big deal. In this way, you hold my warrant and keep an eye on the students. If there are any suspected spies, you will order the Shence Army to arrest and execute them. But you don’t want to show up for the time being.”

Even though she was overjoyed, she remained calm, "Your servant understands, I must act carefully so as not to damage the reputation of the Holy One."

After leaving from Emperor Yuan Jia, a little servant came to congratulate Guan Zhi, "Congratulations, father-in-law, and win the Divine Strategy Army again."

Guan Zhi glanced at him, then swept the whisk in his hand, "What's so exciting?"

It took so much effort to get the qualification to secretly control the Shence Army, no name and no points, what kind of joy?

　Guan·Green Tea·Zhi: I only feel sorry for the Holy Majesty.
