The five liberal arts exams will not end until sunset at least, and His Majesty the Emperor has no time to sit on the general platform for a day. After the examiners handed out the test papers, the emperor stayed for a while and then left. Luo Weiran followed closely behind with the inner guards, but there was no doubt that the eunuch named Su Buwei would always be closest to the emperor.
Before the former eunuch Wu Peisheng died, no one had paid attention to this eunuch named Su Buwei. Soon after Wu Peisheng's death, he jumped from an unknown eunuch to the most powerful eunuch in Miyagi. Although it is only a sixth-rank official position, no one can deny that the sixth-rank clothes on him are not inferior to the purple official uniforms worn by those third- and fourth-rank officials in the imperial court.
The emperor's close servants often have greater influence on the emperor than the court officials.
The main thing is that he knows the emperor better than anyone else.
Luo Weiran walked behind, involuntarily looking at the eunuch who was leaning slightly forward even when he was walking. Even he, as the commander of Ouchi's bodyguard office, didn't pay any special attention to this eunuch before. What made him a little helpless and vigilant was that he knew nothing about the strength of this eunuch.
However, since His Majesty chose him to be the eunuch of Bingbi, it proves that this person is by no means a fool. Luo Weiran has never been so wary of Wu Peisheng, because he knows Wu Peisheng well. Even a very rare talisman master with the strength of the seventh rank still can't pose any threat to someone like him. Su was not afraid of being different, he didn't know the depth, he didn't know the details... Perhaps no one knew this guy except His Majesty the Emperor.
"Let Fang Jie go directly to Changchun Garden, I still have a lot of things to deal with."
The emperor gave an order, and Su Buwei quickly agreed and then sent the little eunuch to deliver the order. When Luo Weiran heard the name Fang Jie, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. That young man became a figure on the cusp of the storm within a short time of entering Chang'an City. His experience was so peculiar that he really didn't know whether to say he was unlucky or lucky. After all, for such a small person like him these days, being able to remind His Majesty from time to time is enough to make many people jealous.
How many dignitaries are there, except when they are in court, they can look at His Majesty from a distance, and have no chance to get close to His Majesty at other times? Even if it took six or nine days for the last court meeting, His Majesty the Emperor might not necessarily look at them, and might not remember them at all.
And Fang Jie, a scout from a border town, was summoned twice to enter Changchun Garden Dome in such a short period of time, no matter what, it was enviable.
The emperor's car left the Martial Arts Academy in a very low-key manner, and those adults such as ministers and ministers also returned to their respective ministries to work. On the contrary, several bachelors stayed behind, waiting for the completion of the five liberal arts exams. Because several of them are honorary professors of the Academy of Martial Arts, they can't leave easily on such a big day like today. After the exam is over, they also have to mark the papers with the professors from the Academy of Martial Arts.
When Fang Jie received the decree, the emperor's car had already left the gate of the Yanwu Academy. The common people who were still watching outside the gate, no one would have guessed that the ordinary-looking carriage that drove into the Martial Arts Academy just now was actually sitting on the same day. But at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly changed his mind.
"Let Fang Jie catch up, and I will meet him in the carriage."
Su Buwei was startled, and after thinking for a while, he reminded him softly: "Isn't it too early for him to get on His Majesty's carriage? After all, his status is too low now, and if the honor is too great, it may not be of any use to him." What a great benefit."
The emperor smiled and said, "Your eyes are so poisonous!"
Su Buwei lowered his head and smiled and said, "I just saw how much Your Majesty loves that young man, that's why I said something more. He is just a frontier soldier with little experience and no foundation, and Chang'an City... too big."
"Forget it..."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Just as you said, although Fang Jie came from a humble background, he is the most interesting young man I have seen in the past few years. Compared with him, those young talents who are born with fame seem too much I’m getting a little more impetuous. Just now you secretly went to see the little trap that Prince Yi set up, and you were full of praise for his reaction. I’m going to use troops against the Northwest. I’m afraid this is the biggest battle since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. A battle... At this time, I must set an example for those poor children to see that as long as they have talent and learning, they can be appreciated by me. They have hope in their hearts, they will do things with all their heart, and they will fight... "
The emperor paused and continued: "Su Buwei, do you know Huai Qiugong's background?"
Su Buwei replied: "Your maidservant knows that Huai Lao came from a poor family but has made great progress. Now he is the elder of the three dynasties, and he has the demeanor of a civil official leader. Even if the two adults on the left and right talk about prestige, I am afraid it is better than Huai Lao. Slightly inferior by one or two points."
The emperor nodded and said: "When my grandfather promoted the imperial examination, the obstacles he faced were not only those from the aristocratic family, but also the distrust of the children from the poor family. In the past, the imperial court selected scholars from the aristocratic family, and the officials were elected. Those who come up are the descendants of officials. For the court, this is by no means a good thing. In the long run, the government will be controlled by those complicated families. Therefore, my grandfather decided to promote the imperial examination and select scholars from poor families... "
"However, the common people don't seem to believe that the imperial examination can really turn a humble person into a noble. So my grandfather decided to set up a model to let the common people see that the imperial examination is not a joke, let alone He is acting. Huai Qiugong is that lucky person, and now that he has gone through three dynasties, he is still the model."
The emperor smiled faintly, and said in a light but confident tone: "My grandfather can set up a model, and so can I. Only if the people firmly believe that the court is fair and just, then the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty will last forever." Everlasting. Such a role model, we must have one from time to time, not just one... Fang Xie is indeed still young, and lacks the foundation of experience, so I will send him to Yanwu Academy instead of Wenyuan Pavilion and Shuhua Pavilion , I am also worried... He entered the court early, and was murdered early."
…
…
The emperor seemed to be very chatty, and after taking a sip of tea, he said to Su Buwei: "Enter the Martial Arts Academy, let him practice more and learn more, if Chang'an City is a big melting pot, it can make all those who are not used to this temperature be killed. If it is eliminated, then the Martial Arts Institute is another melting pot in this big melting pot, not only can train people, but also protect people."
Su Buwei nodded, not daring to interrupt.
The emperor said: "He is still young. Although I like this little guy, I have not yet reached the point where I will promote him at all costs. As you said before, giving him too much glory at this time will actually harm him. To train him, let him stand up after three, five, or even ten years. After twenty years, he will be the next Huai Qiugong in Chang'an City. Huai Qiugong is old enough to live. In less than twenty years, before the people forget his example, the example I set up will be talked about again by the people."
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and this servant can't think of what will happen after so long. This servant just thinks that this young man is really likable, so it's better to press him or not. If you get up too early, you will fall very painfully."
"Ha ha."
The emperor smiled, pointed at Su Buwei and said, "If you are not an eunuch, you can enter the door and read the middle school."
Su Buwei hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This servant is just trying to figure out what's on your mind, how can I deserve such a compliment from His Majesty."
"Su Buwei..."
The emperor pondered for a while and suddenly asked: "Your eyes are poisonous, so let me ask you... What do you think of Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji? Prince Yi... What do you think?"
"Slaves... dare not have opinions."
Su Buwei was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, please spare the servants. The Taizu strictly ordered the harem not to interfere in politics. Even if the servants had a hundred guts, they would not dare to criticize the court officials, let alone the prince. Your Highness."
"You don't have to be so cautious."
The emperor waved his hand and said: "Just take it as a chat with me to relieve boredom. This is not interference in government affairs. I just ask you what you think of them, but it doesn't matter."
"Slaves..."
Su Buwei hesitated for a while, and then replied cautiously: "From my servant's point of view, Commander Luo and Governor-in-waiting Fushi are both loyal to His Majesty, and they are like His Majesty's hands, holding the hands of the Ouchi guards." Chu and Qingya are the two sharpest knives, wherever His Majesty thinks, their knives will be pointed... As for Prince Yi, I really don't understand this, so I dare not talk nonsense."
"I don't want to listen to this kind of scene talk."
The emperor glared at Su Buwei and asked: "I asked more directly. Who do you think is more loyal to me, Luo Weiran or Hou Wenji?"
Su Buwei raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head and said, "I feel that the two adults are equally loyal to His Majesty... It's just that maybe they think different things, so they look a little different. But , this should have nothing to do with the loyalty of the two of them to His Majesty."
"You!"
The emperor smiled helplessly and said: "I tell you the truth, but you are still only willing to talk about the scene. I won't ask any more. You don't even dare to comment on the two of them, so how dare you talk about Prince Yi."
Su Buwei thought for a while and said, "Your servant doesn't need to have his own thoughts. Whatever your Majesty thinks, your servant will think. Just like Commander Luo and the envoy Hou Zhen, your servant will run wherever your Majesty points his finger. "
The emperor was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said: "You are different from them, I can say these things to you, but I can't talk to them, you should know that there are not many people around me who can make me relax and chat casually. "
Su Buwei's eyes turned red, and he bowed deeply: "My servant, thank you for your majesty's kindness."
There is no rule in Chang'an that riding a horse to go shopping is not allowed, but horses are not allowed to gallop wildly. So although Fang Jie was a little impatient, he didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and he didn't have to pretend to be high-profile after he left the gate of the Martial Arts Academy. On the way to Changchun Garden, he has been controlling the speed of the red horse, trotting, and it seems that he has no intention of being domineering.
Fang Jie didn't want to be accused of any crime, Chang'an City was indeed too big for him. Who knew that an inadvertent mistake would become a reason for him never to turn over
When we arrived at Changchun Garden, the sun was slightly westward, and Fang Jie, who hadn't eaten lunch, let out a slight protest in his stomach. But Fang Jie didn't have time to sacrifice to the Temple of the Five Viscera, and followed the little eunuch who passed the decree directly into the royal garden. After entering the door, the red horse was handed over to the guards. He followed the little eunuch step by step, keeping the same distance all the time.
When he walked outside the Qionglu, the little eunuch stopped, turned around and the other party smiled and said: "Our family can only take you here, and our family can't just go in inside."
"Thank you."
Fang Jie took out a bank note from his cuff and wanted to hand it to the little eunuch, but unexpectedly the little eunuch waved his hand and took a step back: "Our family doesn't have the guts, we don't want to taste Zongsifang's stick. If you think Seeing that our family still has some uses, we will make friends with you from Gao Pan. Our family name is Mu San, you just need to remember our name."
Fang Xie couldn't help but praise him in his heart, saying that the little eunuch is very scheming and well-meaning!
"I remember, father-in-law's name is Mu San. Father-in-law can also remember that your friend is called Fang Jie."
Fang Jie nodded and cupped his fists in thanks.
The little eunuch Mu San smiled, turned around and left after returning the salute. Fang Jie looked at his back, thinking that even a young eunuch has such a vision and skill, the water in Chang'an City is really too deep. He refused to accept his own banknote because he knew that the benefit of taking this mere one hundred taels of silver was far less beneficial than letting a small person who was very likely to become a big person remember him. Who knows what the future holds? Who doesn't think about the future
Wood three.
Fang Jie also remembered this name, a little eunuch who also never forgot that he should climb up. Such people are often useful.
