Chapter 386 Blue Sparrow
Originally, as a full-time craftsman (a young craftsman like Pu Xiliang, who has no specific management of things, and for Yan Lide, who is a young craftsman and a minister of the Ministry of Works, he is a civil servant. Shao craftsman is just an affirmation of his status in architecture), Pu Xiliang also does not need to go to court, but today he saw Wang Kuang coming to court, so he rushed over and sat on Wang Kuang's head. Because he heard Wang Xian say that Wang Kuang doesn't like going to court, and he may have to sleep as soon as he goes to court. It's just right, his rank is a little higher than Wang Kuang. Sitting on Wang Kuang's head can help Wang Kuang block the emperor's view, so he came. But Wang Kuang didn't know what he thought about. Wang Kuang thought that Pu Xiliang might have something to say that he had just come here, but Pu Xiliang didn't make any noise for a long time. How could Wang Kuang not think too much about it?
If it were the early years, Wang Kuang would not have to consider Pu Xiliang's position at all, but now it is different from the past. No matter how slow Wang Kuang is, he has already noticed that a small group centered on himself is gradually forming. Pu Xiliang can be said to be relatively close to the core members, so Wang Kuang now has to consider it.
Pu Xiliang stabbed him everywhere. Seeing that Wang Kuang did not move, he was anxious to scratch his head. He didn't know what to say. His Majesty had noticed Wang Kuang just now, so he could not do anything more. Otherwise, if His Majesty got angry, it might be the one who was caught and thrown over. Maybe it was the inkstone he had caught for the first time, which would break himself into pieces, or if His Majesty was not allowed to hit the uncle of Jian'an County, it would be a big loss.[]
Wang Kuang was wondering and hesitating, and saw a yellow mouth standing beside the secretary-elect moving towards himself. The secretary-elect was sitting in front of Li Shimin, facing the ministers and the emperor in a slanted manner, so as to record everything that happened in the court. The yellow gate was standing at the right position and facing Li Shimin from behind, just facing Wang Kuang. Wherever he moved his mouth, the civil servants on the other side could not find out if they did not turn their heads. Only the military officers on the side of Wang Kuang could see it.
Naturally, Cheng Zhijie and the others also saw the lip shape of the yellow sect, smiled slightly, and stopped talking. The relationship between the military officer and the full-time craftsman was relatively good, probably because it was the rough man in the eyes of the literati. Moreover, there were many civil servants and few military officers, so the full-time craftsman officers also sat on the same side as the military officers. In these two major groups, the military officers, because of the relationship between Li Jing and the old devil, had a higher likeness to Wang Kuang than the civil servants. Therefore, when the Huang sect spoke in such a lip shape, they pretended not to see it.
Li Shimin smiled knowingly when he saw the old devil. Who is he? The emperor, sitting high above. If the movements below are not hidden enough, how could he escape his eyes? So he turned his head suspiciously and saw that the yellow gate was closing his eyes, as if he was knocking to bed? The corner of his mouth was still flowing down. Look at the secretary again, this guy was poking the table with one hand, holding his chin, squinting his eyes and laughing secretly. What kind of stylist is this?
No wonder the old devils were about to laugh. These two guys were too embarrassing, so they coughed "Hmm!" and woke the two guys up. The yellow door quickly wiped their mouths and stood straight. The secretary was startled and closed his mouth suddenly, but bit his tongue. The pain made him cry even after he had a burst of sweat on his forehead. His face was slowly swelling and his veins were exposed, but he didn't dare to say anything.
He didn't dare to say anything. As a secretary, he knew much more about the emperor's character than ordinary officials. He had just finished recording the situation of choosing things that Li Shimin touched and pinched. He was thinking about secret fun, but unexpectedly he was discovered by His Majesty. If he shouted again, his Majesty would be annoyed. The Secretary-General would not have done it. He might have to go to the Imperial Academy to copy books. How could he know that no one had discovered his secret fun, but he was just implicated by the yellow gate standing beside him.
Suddenly, the court burst into laughter. Li Shimin, who had already touched and pinched the case and wanted to throw away Wang Kuang, but was afraid that Wang Kuang would hurt Wang Kuang, but he was already full of laughter and did not dare to laugh. Now we dare not laugh at His Majesty, but is it still okay to laugh at a secretary? This made Li Shimin unable to help but suck the flesh on his face twice, but in the end he couldn't hold it in. He raised his sleeves to block his face and laughed out loud.
Only Wang Kuang noticed the little bit of pride revealed on the yellow door's face. I guess this guy was proud that he was good at acting. After the news, he immediately pretended to be sleepy and was not discovered by the emperor?
Wang Kuang looked carefully and felt happy. He was so quick that the person he had just pulled was in handy? Didn’t this guy just lead him to the imperial study room to see Li Lao Er? Thinking about his lips just now, it seemed to be "lack"? No, what is missing? Four? Four? I still have three missing one. That’s right? It’s not right, it has nothing to do with Pu Xiliang’s four. Wait, Que Si! That’s right, it’s Que. Wang Kuang’s eyes suddenly lit up, blinked at the yellow gate, and signaled that he knew.
Que, that's Qingque, and it's the fourth, and who would be the fourth, if it's not Li Tai? Li Tai's nickname is Qingque, and ranks fourth. When Li Shimin talks about Li Tai, if he is in a good mood, he will always say "My family's Qingque'er".
Now, Wang Kuang knew that Pu Xiliang was reminding him who the other party was. Then he looked at the old man up and down. When he saw it, he was shocked again. The cloth boots were still covered with mud? No, Li Tai was about to jump over the wall? Even his old job was used up?
The captain who fled to Jian'an told him that there was an old man dressed as a flower farmer in the Wei Palace. Even the housekeeper was respectful to him. It seemed that many major events in the Wei Palace had to be followed by his ideas. It also described in detail how many times he saw the "old flower farmer" dressed, liked to wear cloth boots or straw sandals, and liked to play with flowers and plants, but it seemed that he did not live in the Wei Palace.
If he lived in the Wei Palace, he would have his own mansion. Generally speaking, those who followed the vassal kings would not live in the vassal king's mansion. Therefore, Wang Kuang inferred that the "old flower farmer" was probably still an official. He originally wanted to use his period in Chang'an to investigate it carefully, but unexpectedly, it jumped out? Fatty Li couldn't hold back his anger? Or did he see hope because the prince was entangled?
Fatty Li is not very popular among all officials, and this is famous. Among so many princes in history who want to seize the throne, the only one is Fatty Li who is specifically guarding against all officials and going against all officials. In contrast to the others who are trying to win over all officials, hence, Wang Kuang is not a novice in his personality of Fatty Li.
Other princes have put a lot of effort into winning over all officials, especially important officials of the court. Only this fat man Li spent all his time pleasing Li Shimin's favor. Instead, he looked down on the important officials of the court. He often spread rumors in front of Li Shimin, saying that the important officials in the court looked down on him, etc.
How could such a person become an emperor? Even if he becomes an emperor, he is also a disinterested person. The emperor is no matter how capable he is. Without the assistance of ministers, he is just a blind man with his eyes open and dark under the lamp. This is also one of the reasons why Wang Kuang is not optimistic about Fatty Li. At the same time, it is also the most fundamental reason why Fatty Li is about to ascend to the position of prince, but is being sent to the eighteenth level of hell by a word from Suiliang. Just imagine, if Fatty Li did not go against all officials but adopted a strategy of wining over, how could Qu Suiliang say that Li Shimin wanted to make Li Tai the crown prince was misleading?
However, the "Guodizhi" has not been completed yet. It is impossible to say that the main purpose of Li Tai's compilation of "Guodizhi" is to please Li Shimin, but he cannot bury the historical status of the book. The subjective reasons are not equivalent to objective results. Just as the subjective reason why Emperor Yang of Sui dug the Grand Canal was mostly for the convenience of his own retreat to Yangzhou, and the Grand Canal actually plays an important role in logistics and transportation in the north and south, the "Guodizhi" has an unshakable position in geography.
It is precisely because "Kuodizhi" is a tool used by Li Tai to please Li Shimin that after Wang Kuang thought clearly, Wang Kuang did not want to move Li Tai anymore. It is not that he did not want to move in the future, but that he did not want to move now. If Fatty Li suddenly lost his enthusiasm because of the blow, the loss would be quite large. Besides, Li Shimin had just dealt with the prince two days ago, and he had already made great concessions to Wang Kuang. He should be content and should not be able to make a breakthrough. If he really annoyed Li Lao Er, he might not have such a stable life in the future. At least with Li Shimin's order, Wang Kuang would just stay in Chang'an obediently. That would be so boring.
Moreover, judging from the old man's actions, Fatty Li should have listed himself from being favored to being excluded. In the past, Fatty Li classified himself as a second-generation official who was like Fang Yiai. Now he is a county uncle at least. Seeing that the position of the Duke of the State seems not so far away and is stable, otherwise Li Laoer would not have told him to repair the county uncle's palace according to the regulations of the Duke of the State. Anyway, no matter what, we will also be a duke in the future, right?
As a prince who is quite favored, Fatty Li must have heard some noise, so his attitude towards him took a 180-degree turn, from winning over to suppressing him. But this happened to be the right thing to do was to avoid Fatty Li's harassment, but he took the initiative to alienate him. It was really a wish.
