[Qianguang] Edict of Guilt

1.

Gongsun Qian found an excuse to go to the side hall again, after the visit of the envoys.

The figure of Hitachi by the water still lingers in my mind.

He had mixed feelings at the time, lost his mind for a while, and forgot to avoid it.As soon as the king turned around, he saw him, startled at first, then blinked slowly.

That expression clearly means that you are here to teach again.

Gongsun Qian hurriedly bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

On the way back, I recalled the number of times I said to the king in a roundabout way, "No matter how bad your mood is, please cheer up and do business first."

Can't count.

He also knelt down once in the imperial garden.

A little guilty.

So when he reported the envoy's visit to Qu Su, he asked the king if he wanted to go in person.

There were no ministers in the side hall, and the king had undisguisedly returned to his absent-minded look.

But remember to ask, do you think it's worth making friends?

Gongsun Qian said, I don't know, I just think the king can go to relax.

This time, the person who talks about the heart and the person who talks about the business are just reversed.

The king closed his eyes and declined him politely.

Perhaps the king felt that this persuasion was just a purposeful routine.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Qian couldn't help feeling depressed.But countless words of justification flashed through his mind, and they all sounded like routines.There are a lot of copies of the world's articles, which is the disadvantage of many endorsements by civil servant families.

The king only said a few words, and once he closed his eyes, he was put in a silent debate.And he lost without a fight.

Now, I finally know the pain of being ignored by people who say the truth.

2.

Finally, under the recommendation of the prime minister, Gongsun Qian accepted the decree to go on an envoy to stay here.

The king also ordered him and the prime minister to write a document for the establishment of diplomatic relations.So every day when he was not in court, he would go to Yushitai to check the records related to the residence.Hard to find, but better than nothing.

The prime minister is busy with everything, so he goes less frequently.Occasionally, he casually picked out a volume from the pile of books that Gongsun Qian had flipped through, and exclaimed, this is the word written by the king before.

Gongsun Qian has seen the words of the king.When I went to Tianji to discuss peace, the prime minister drafted the documents, and the king copied them and handed them to him.The handwriting is neat and tidy, with a calm atmosphere, which makes this intentional text seem to be neither humble nor overbearing.

And the handwriting in the prime minister's hand was written between articles and scribbled in haste, finally somewhat free and easy in line with his age.

The article is about Yuheng's attachment to Tianji.What the king wrote is that if there are strong soldiers, this will not be the case.

Presumably when I wrote this, I was still proud of the Qiu family.

The prime minister didn't know if he thought the same way, sighed, and put down the scroll.

prime minister.Gongsun Qian spoke.

Ok?

…What does the king do when he is not in court?

The prime minister smiled, a little surprised.

This is the first time that when you talk about the king, you don't talk about political affairs.

Gongsun Qian sighed honestly.Getting along with monarchs and ministers is not a matter of a day or two.The younger generation always talked about political affairs, fearing that the king would get bored.

You don't have to worry about this, the king governs the government, after all, it is still right about things and not about people.There may be partiality from time to time, but never personal hatred.

That's good.Gongsun Qian nodded.It is a blessing for the king to be like this.

Then it wasn't until the prime minister left that he remembered that he hadn't told himself what the king would do when he was in court or not.

So far, he has only seen him sitting in a daze, standing in a daze, and staring at the sword in a daze.

...It seems that I don't know the king very well.

But asking the prime minister again, it seemed too deliberate.

This concern was left unsalted until the documents for the establishment of diplomatic relations were prepared and presented, he finally had some free time and went to the side hall one day.

The palace servant at the door signaled him to wait a moment, it seems that the king has an order today, so don't disturb him at will.

Gongsun Qian nodded and waited.Soon there was movement inside, but there were a few coughs.

The palace servant suddenly forgot about the report, and hurriedly asked the king how he was, and whether he wanted to invite the doctor.

It doesn't matter.The king responded in vain, but he was a little bit cold.

This... oh, this word... What a pity, I finally finished copying it.

It doesn't matter, it's just starting all over again.

Unintentional words, but seem to mean something.

After the king finished speaking, he smiled.It turns out that this sentence is so easy to say.Change to another piece of silk.

Yes.

There was a moment of silence in the room.Amidst the rustling of the palace servants, Gongsun Qian heard the king muttering that he and the prime minister really had a lot of writing and thinking, and wrote so long.

By the way... Your Majesty, Lord Gongsun is still outside the door... Please see me.The palace servant finally remembered.

...let him in.

Gongsun Qian entered the hall to greet him, and the king said that there is no need to be too polite, and he still bowed his head to write.

The king is copying documents?Gongsun Qian said.

Calligraphy requires meditation, and the king put down his pen.Aiqing is well written.

Thank you King for your praise.

The king has always directly ignored these vain courtesy.The king heard that the envoys of the exile had also arrived at Tianshu, Tianji, and Tianquan, and they all seemed to intend to make friends.

Gongsun Qian also thought of this, nodded and said, yes, I wanted to report this to the court tomorrow...

After the eloquent report, he left the hall and found that he was still discussing political affairs today.

Gongsun Qian is a little tired.

3.

So and so said without saying anything, until the day of departure, the king came to see him off politely.

Gongsun Qian didn't expect that he would really come, so he took the whip and got off his horse to pay his respects. The Taoist minister was far away to welcome him, so he asked the king to forgive him.

After hearing this sentence, the king didn't intend to answer.

Gongsun Qian had no choice but to pick it up by himself: I will not disgrace my life if I go here.

The king turned his eyes away, and said slowly: Why should Aiqing be walking on thin ice.At least traveling in the mountains and rivers can also relieve your mood.

Gongsun Qian bowed: I must put state affairs first in this trip.

—— Gongsun Fucheng is a good official.

The king still looked sideways.Since our first meeting, nothing you have said has exceeded my expectations.

——Therefore, the subject will not die when the king does not expect it.

Gongsun Qian felt that the moment he spoke, he gave up thinking.

There was no one around.

The king finally turned to look at him.

Gongsun Qian wanted to bow down again to make amends, but was waved to stop him.

lets go.Safe travels.

…yes.

Gongsun Qian got on his horse and led the mission to set off.The sky is high and the wind is cool, the sleeves of the clothes are flying, and the sleeves of the robe are stretched, which is very refreshing.

The pent-up debate finally regained [-]%.

Observing chastity and propriety, understanding righteousness, and being a monarch and minister are the safest.

But after saying this, he is different from those onlookers who strictly observe their limits.

It is also different from General Qiu.

After walking far, I remembered that I forgot to say something just now.

If the king doesn't like to copy documents, I will write shorter ones in the future.
