Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

Dozens of days later, although many imperial examination fraud cases were involved, but now the emperor is benevolent and did not openly sit together, so he dismissed several ministers of the Conservative Party in the current dynasty, and the rest were released after only a few slaps.Some people said that the emperor took this opportunity to produce dissidents, and gave them both kindness and power. Some people said that the people involved in the back had nothing to do with this matter. There were only a few people who really cheated.

Furthermore, the flood of the Yellow River was cured very well due to the personal inspection by the prince of Weiyi. The dam was rebuilt, the people settled down, and no more victims fled. Even the price of food and salt returned to normal.Everyone knows that a teenage boy with such talent will surely become a great weapon in the future, which is worthy of Chu Lei's legacy.

There are also those who are dissatisfied with the opinion that the eldest son is just relying on the power of his family to manage well, and his father has a large army in his hand, so he is easily suspected by the emperor, and he is suspected of trying to gain fame and pretend to be aloof.

But no matter what others say, the Yi family is indeed in full swing, the king of Weiyi has won consecutive victories in the frontier, the son is able to participate in politics, and the daughter of the Yi family occupies a high position in the harem.In the court, there was gradually a saying that the eldest son of the Yi family should follow the ancestral system to be named king and participate in politics, and stay in Beijing.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and Li Ji had already been conferred the title of King Yi on the way to control the waters and was transferred back to Kyoto as the king of politics.Li Ji entered the city gate on a thin layer of frost in the early morning, and obeyed orders to enter the palace regardless of the dust.

"The one who is auspicious is Jubilee. The word 'Ji' also has the meaning of happiness and auspiciousness. Although it is good, it just doesn't match your current status. I give you the word even more precious."

Bi Xin pondered for a moment, and said: "Using the word 'Ji' is not as good as the word 'Xi'. Xi is the most important weapon of the country. If I have you, I have the most important weapon of the country."

Hearing this, Li Ji hurriedly got up and bowed down, saying: "I have no virtue and no talent. Thanks to your majesty's wrong love, how can I afford the four characters of 'the most important weapon of the country'? Besides, 'Xi' is the symbol of the emperor, and I dare not overstep it."

Bi Xin said with a complexion like water: "I have no such intention. I want to give you the word 'Jinfan'." Bi Xin said again: "'Yuxi is not destined to return to the corner of the sun, Jinfan should reach the end of the world.' I give you this Words are not only for you, but also for encouraging yourself."

"Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty. How can you be compared with a king who has subjugated the country? I have understood your Majesty's painstaking efforts, and I will definitely live up to my orders." I bowed three more times, thanked the Holy One for the words, and exited the hall.

Liji was walking slowly on the long street, and Emperor Pinye had just said something. The two sentences "Yuxi" and "Jinfan" come from Li Shangyin's "Sui Palace".This poem satirizes the tragic end of Emperor Sui Yang's abandonment of the government, content with pleasure and final subjugation of the country.These two sentences mean: "If it weren't for the destiny, the jade seal would have returned to Li Yuan in the form of a dragon and a phoenix, and Emperor Sui Yang's brocade dragon boat would have sailed all over the sky." .

Li Yuan's family had been the nobles of the Hou family as early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was especially trusted by the emperor because he was the nephew of Empress Dugu, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.In the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan, as the uncle of the emperor's concubine, held a heavy army and made great achievements.In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, he deliberately took bribes to defile himself, and finally, with the assistance of his son Li Shimin, turned against the Sui Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, laying down the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but it also led to the death of the second generation of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Ji naturally understood the meaning of the emperor, the princes, relatives, power, and favor.Since entering the palace, he has been careful and cautious, and he is afraid of being incompetent in dealing with things. He has done his best in everything he does, and even more so in private, he thought that the emperor would always be at ease with him.But the emperor is an emperor after all, after all the emperor still taboos his birth.Liji couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and the silver and gold inlaid hair crown became more and more heavy.

"Why are you pacing here? I want to ask for the prince's reward." Liu Fu came up from behind with a smile, pretending to bow.

"I knew it was you. Others don't have such a tongue." Liji replied.

Liu Fu was not angry, and said with a smile: "I was going to pay my respects to the emperor, but I saw Li and Baba rushing out, stopped and asked, and then I found out that the emperor wanted to reward you, and I heard that he even gave you a letter." ?”

"That's right, the decree has been passed on to Yi's family, and after the ceremony, it will be done."

"Prince participating in politics, you really can't be sloppy. What word did you choose?"

"Jin Fan." Li Ji's voice was low.

Liu Fujun frowned slightly, his face only changed, and he returned to his original state, "'Jin Fan' is a very good word, 'Brilliant future, smooth sailing', it seems that Brother Huang thinks highly of you."

"I'm just 'in the government, and seeking a position', and I don't have much credit for it."

Liu Fu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't say these things. Now that you have been given a letter, your status is even more precious, and you don't dare to be presumptuous in judging those villains who slander you. A man stands between heaven and earth, and he doesn't care about trivial matters."

Liji nodded slightly, approached with a smile and said, "Actually, Liji is not a name I've been used to since childhood."

Liu Fu was curious, so he put his ears closer to listen.Li Ji murmured two words in Liu Fu's ear, and Liu Fu laughed "giggle" and didn't care about the servants watching.

"There are many people who are on the eve of the heavy eve, so there is a 'many'."

"Why?"

Liu Fu smiled and said, "Aren't the many Jinfans just Qianfans? People say 'the galaxy is about to turn around and dance with thousands of sails'. Even the ancients knew that you dance well."

Liji gestured to silence, and said in a low voice, "You promised me not to say anything."

Liu Fu suppressed a smile and said, "Who would have known that the elegant gentleman in everyone's eyes is good at dancing Chu music and dance, you are really a 'vanilla beauty'."

Li Ji saw that Liu Fu's mouth was ignorant, and made fun of him with puns, so he found some face for himself and said: "It's not that Chu Wu involves witchcraft, which is taboo in the palace. Your soul, look at your nonsense."

Liu Fu turned back and entered the hall, and the servants bowed down to salute.But he saw Bi Xin leaning on the chair with his eyes closed to rest.The ambergris in the censer with carved patterns in the hall was a bit faded, maybe seeing the emperor talking to Liji for a long time, and then closing his eyes to rest his mind, the servants did not dare to come forward to add incense without authorization, disturbing the holy car .

Liu Fu ordered in a soft voice to fetch agarwood incense and light it on lightly.The fragrance of aloes lingers faintly in front of the hall, making people feel at ease.Bi Xin slowly opened his eyes, and saw that Liu Fu was wearing a red gold hair crown inlaid with red and yellow sapphires with a dense dragon pattern on his head, a silver-blue satin robe with dark embroidered dragons and clouds, a belt with water, sky and blue wavy patterns on his waist, and feet Wearing tea-brown black-soled embroidered cloud-pattern boots, with bright eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he is handsome and elegant.

"Why are you here now? You changed the incense quietly and didn't let me know." Bi Xin said that he wanted to come to hold his hand.

Seeing that the servants had all gone down, Liu Fu pushed his hand calmly, and then walked into the table and said, "Chen Shuixiang is the most calming and peaceful, and I feel comfortable in exchange for it once in a while. I will try this chestnut cake." Not bad, you can eat some." Liu Fu opened the food box, took out a plate of snacks and put them on the table.

Because of the flood in the Yellow River, Bi Xin has always had a bad appetite, so he refused to eat some delicacies and supplements brought by others.At this moment, Bi Xin said with a smile in his eyes: "When others come to greet you, they either offer ginseng soup or bird's nest, but what kind of chestnut cake did you bring, but you yourself like sweets, so you sent me away by the way."

"Brother doesn't want to eat, why should I shiver?"

He said with a gentle look in his eyes: "It's good that you are here, but I would find it hard if someone else came."

"Aiya, Brother Huang is worshiped and respected by the world, yet he still blames the world for not understanding the Sacred Heart. I want to cry out."

The two sat on the couch next to the young couple, talking and laughing, took some chestnut cakes and West Lake Longjing, and then removed the dishes.Liu Fuzhuan played with the pillow ball, and said casually: "When I first came here, I saw Li He rushing to attend to the matter of conferring rewards and letters, and the emperor didn't say anything about such a big matter, which surprised me quite a bit. "

Bi Xin tapped the jade wrench on several surfaces lightly, and said: "It's not a serious matter, you will be rewarded for your merits."

"Jin Fan, Jin Fan, is Brother Huang trying to promise him a good future?"

Bi Xin had already heard the meaning of these words, nodded his head and closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Outsiders only know that he is good at curing the flood in the Yellow River, but they don't know the reasons."

Bi Xin opened his eyes and said: "I originally sent those people to do it. How can I manage the Yellow River and mobilize many people? The frontier fortress's salary is tight, so I have to take money from the pockets of those officials. There are many obstacles." Liu Fu nodded after hearing this.

"I had no choice but to send him to supervise. Who would have thought that things would go so smoothly. I thought it was a good thing, but I never thought that it was all due to the power of the Yi family. He is also my imperial envoy, so it is better than a word from the Yi family. I appreciate it." Jinfan is true, but he also intentionally uses this to beat Weiyi Wang Shao for using military power to interfere in politics."

Liu Fu and Yan said: "King Yi is the king who was appointed by the emperor to participate in the administration during the water control period. The emperor sent him, and the people below know the benefits and disadvantages, so they dare not neglect."

Bi Xin got up to take the memorial and handed it over. Liu Fu took it and looked at it for a few times, but his expression was not very good.In the memorial, Fu Shengzhe of Bianzhou Hedao participated in the Zouyi, forming a party for personal gain, manipulating power, deceiving the emperor, and embezzling relief money and food.

Liu compounded the memorial and said: "Yi Dang is domineering, after all, it is the identity of the vassal palace. Except for those clear streams, no one dares to offend the hard-working officials. This Bianzhou River is different from others. It is commendable to dare to speak out and speak out. , it’s just that the words of this person should not be trusted.”

"Of course I understand, I have sent people to investigate thoroughly. If it is true, how do you think it should be dealt with?"

Liu Fu's face was determined and said: "If something really happened, it must be severely punished, it's just."

Liu Fu stood up and saluted, "I assure you that this matter has nothing to do with King Yi."

Bi Xin gave him a hand and said: "I know that King Yi is a respectful and upright person, and I will definitely not have anything to do with this matter, and even if I find out that there is a faction, I don't intend to move them." Liu Fu looked puzzled, his eyes sparkling Looking at each other carefully.

Bi Xin said with a half-cold expression in the corner of his mouth: "Their strength is nothing more than relying on the power of the ancestors. If I move them at this time, it will undoubtedly be of no benefit to the frontier war. Moreover, there are criticisms in the court, saying that I suppress It is the actions of a mediocre king to participate in politics and exclude heroes."

"There is no distinction between black and white, grandstanding is what those officials are good at. If they can restrain themselves, they really don't have to kill them all. After careful calculation, these matters are still with the eldest son and second son of King Weiyi, and have nothing to do with King Yi."

Bi Xin nodded slightly and said: "During Tang Gaozong's period, the 'Rebellion of the King of Wu' was caused by remnants of Yang and Sui under the guise of the name of the King of Wu. The king of Wu is not wronged, but his inability to restrain his party members is a crime."

Liu Fu felt sad, since ancient times, kings have protected the country, even brothers are not soft, let alone courtiers?Killing one person for peace in the world, there is no more cost-effective deal in the world.He stroked the broken hair on Fu Liufu's forehead, and said softly: "If there is no choice but to stabilize the country, as long as he is not involved in it, I will definitely take care of my friendship and not hurt his life."

"I believe in his character, and naturally I also believe in my brother's promise to me."

A promise was sung outside, and a young eunuch came in to announce that Concubine Rong came to thank her.
