Chapter 1096 Why do women make things difficult for women
"What Goro has to learn is checks and balances."
Li Zhi and Wu Mei were talking about the current situation in the East Palace.
"Zhang Wenguan is quite talented, and he dare not take the lead here, but he will inevitably look down upon Goro, so he joined forces with Dai Zhide and others, which made Goro quite helpless."
Wu Mei said: "If your majesty is here for these things, just watch them coldly, find an opportunity to hammer them out, if you don't know what's interesting, go straight to the place and become an official, then he will naturally understand what is the way of a monarch and his ministers."
Wang Zhongliang shuddered, thinking that Dai Zhide and the others were lucky, if the queen were to handle the affairs of the Eastern Palace, they might die.
"Your Majesty."
The servant who went to inquire about the news came.
"how?"
Li Zhi asked.
Wu Mei said: "If Wu Lang comforts Dai Zhide too much, he bows his head too much. Where is the authority when the prince bows his head to his subjects?"
The servant said: "First, Xiao Dezhao reprimanded Dai Zhide and others, and then there was a dispute. The prince suddenly said something...the law should be the most important thing."
The empress frowned.
For them, the law is just a tool. The crown prince is the future emperor, if he can't understand this, the so-called benevolence will become a weakness instead.
"The prince said that there is thunder outside the law, and Xiao Dezhao said that the thunder must come from the superior... The prince nodded."
The emperor and empress looked at each other.
"Goro actually learned to check and balance?" Li Zhi couldn't believe it, "Called!"
The prince came very quickly, looking very calm.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "I heard that your words made Dai Zhide and others bow their heads?"
Li Hong was surprised, "Aye, it's not that I bowed my head, but I know how to respect me as a prince."
This kid!
Li Zhi's teeth were itchy, "How did you pull Xiao Dezhao over?"
Well!
Li Hong was obviously a little reluctant to say this, and even felt a little ashamed.
"explain!"
The queen gave a short shout, and Li Hong shivered, "I gave Xiao Dezhao a piece of bamboo for the food yesterday. The bamboo is straight and has integrity... It is upright and has integrity..."
Empresses are all smiling.
This son!
"Xiao Dezhao understood. He begged to see me in private, and said something, expressing that he would definitely be a direct minister in the future."
Li Zhi asked: "Do you think Xiao Dezhao can become a direct minister?"
The queen shook her head slightly.
Li Hong said: "Whether or not a direct minister depends on the check and balance and control of the superior. The superior needs a direct minister, so naturally some people will regard the direct minister as their motto. Wei Zheng was like this back then."
Li Zhi laughed out loud.
Wu Mei smiled and said: "The ministers who can achieve Xiao Dezhao's status, the so-called loneliness and loyalty are just his signs, and they rely on this sign to become officials... The same is true for Wei Zheng. You have to remember..."
Li Hong said: "Officials who can be important ministers are not fools, they cannot be foolish and loyal, and they cannot be lonely."
Wu Mei: "..."
Goro has learned to steal words!
But why would I want to laugh?
Li Zhi said with satisfaction: "You can understand this truth, why should I worry? Remember, the better the emperor, the more loyal his subjects will be. The mediocre and weak emperor will make his subjects think otherwise."
Li Hong lowered his head.
These words are similar to what my uncle said, and they all start from the perspective of human hearts to analyze the mentality of the courtiers.
"Uncle said..."
Li Hong hesitated.
Li Zhi said with a cold face, "What did he say?"
He vowed that if Jia Pingan instilled those radical ideas in the prince again, he would hang himself when he turned around.
Li Hong said: "My uncle said that the monarch and his ministers are using each other. The ministers want to show their ambitions and gain fame and fortune; the emperor wants to prosper the country. So the two hit it off. But this is cooperation, and cooperation will not have any loyalty. Some are just the emperor's use of his courtiers, and the courtiers' fear and trust in the emperor."
He raised his eyes, "Aye, is that... right?"
The empress is silent.
Li Hong was a little apprehensive, "Mother..."
Wu Mei raised her head, "Huh?"
Li Hong said: "Don't hit uncle next time, he's such a big man, it's so pitiful."
Li Zhi waved his hand.
After the crown prince left, Li Zhi scolded: "He dared to say such things to Wu Lang, and he acted recklessly."
"If you say it, you are concerned, and you are sincere. If you don't say it, it is hypocrisy." Wu Mei looked at the emperor coldly, "Do you think that Ping An has ever said such kind words to those officials when he was abroad? He is worried about Goro. It’s a disadvantage, so I taught him my comprehension.”
Of course Li Zhi knew this truth, but no courtier had ever analyzed these relationships for the prince, and the analysis was bloody, peeling off the faces of the so-called monarchs and ministers one by one, revealing the reality and ferocity inside.
There has never been any mutual success between the monarch and his ministers, but only mutual compromise after mutual testing.
Those who can understand this truth are basically not mediocre.
"Emperor Yang didn't know how to compromise, and in the end he died. Goro... I am very pleased that he can teach Goro these things."
Li Zhi was really relieved, "When my uncle was here, what he said the most was to make me filial and kind... But these truths were never shared with me. Didn't he know? He definitely knew, but he was afraid of me. You just want to fool me in your bones."
Wu Mei looked at him, "Ping'an is so sincere, Your Majesty can't pretend. Last time the Western Regions paid tribute to some good jade, why don't you give some to Ping'an."
Li Zhi was helpless, "Only two dollars."
Wu Mei felt that the emperor was really stingy, "That's a big piece, just break it into several pieces."
The big good jade is broken into several pieces...
Wang Zhongliang was quite shocked when he saw those two pieces of jade. Thinking that the jade would be untied, he couldn't help feeling that he was wasting money.
But what the queen said... we must support it.
"I will keep one of the two pieces here, and the remaining one was originally intended for you..."
Li Zhi looked at the queen, thinking of killing three warriors with two peaches.
You want me to give you a good beating? Wu Mei said: "I don't need this for my wife, or I can solve it."
Your Majesty has no way out.
Wang Zhongliang has seen many confrontations between emperors and empresses, most of which ended in the queen's victory.
After returning from Jiucheng Palace this time, the queen seems to be a little more powerful.
Li Zhi coughed dryly, "There is no need to explain it, but it is not appropriate for a minister to use such a large piece of jade, or...there are more than a dozen girls from the Western Regions sent over there by the way, so reward him."
this…
Wang Zhongliang felt that Zhao Guogong's waist was in danger.
But the Queen raised her brows upside down, "Is Your Majesty trying to make Ping'an's house restless?"
Li Zhi was angry, "I rewarded my courtiers with beauties, and all the courtiers are grateful, but your brother is weak, and the backyard is incompetent, so that even women can't subdue... Why don't you take action?"
You are so fierce towards me, but so gentle to your brother, why don't you make a move?
Wu Mei said: "They are all women, why do women make things difficult for women."
Li Zhi: "..."
Wang Zhongliang felt that the emperor would vomit blood and die sooner or later.
…
"Aren't you afraid of being feared by the emperor?"
Li Ji is no longer in charge of his affairs, he is almost honored.
Jia Ping'an said: "Do things according to your heart. If you are wrong and right, you will be open-minded. If the emperor is jealous, I will completely abandon the mess of the Ministry of War and live happily ever after."
Li Ji smiled and said: "It's good to be in the mountains and rivers, but how old are you? It's time to make a difference. By the way, His Majesty only recently considered whether to let Zhang Wenguan enter the court or Dou Dexuan..."
Li Ji calmly gave Jia Pingan an important message.
Jia Pingan and Dou Dexuan have a good relationship. If he enters the court, there will be one more person who supports Xinxue.
But Jia Pingan felt that Dou Dexuan had a better chance.
"The old man is getting old."
Li Ji sat behind the desk, his beard and hair were grizzled, and the wrinkles on his face gradually deepened.
"The old man wants to go around Zhongnan Mountain, but he can't find a good carriage."
Li Ji is more than seventy years old, and now he is just a mascot in the court, and he doesn't speak out for nothing important.
Now he has no taboos, and his words and deeds are more casual.
Li Jingye heard that his grandfather wanted to go around Zhongnan Mountain and needed a good carriage, so he went to Dongxi Market to ask those craftsmen.
"Just get the best, money is not a problem."
Li Jingye tested many carriages, but he was not satisfied.
how to do?
Li Ji enjoys the filial piety of his grandson very much, he just says it is casual.
He can still ride a horse, but long-distance riding will feel tossing, his bones hurt at night, and he can't sleep.
The emperor also heard about it.
"The British husband is old."
Li Zhi thought about the past, "When I first came to the throne, people from Guanlong were everywhere, but Li Ji stood in the court like a mainstay. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has worked hard. He wants to go to Zhongnan Mountain for a walk." Alright, if the carriage is not good, the palace will get one for him."
A carriage came out of the palace, which was said to be a gift from the emperor to the British Duke.
But the carriage failed to enter the gate of the British government.
Li Yao said: "A Lang said he dare not accept it."
Although Li Ji has less scruples in words and deeds, he is still polite.
The emperor heard that Long Yan was very happy, and immediately rewarded him with gold and silver.
"Hands too loose!"
Jia Ping'an said at home: "The gold and silver from the country of Wa have been sent in a steady stream. Your Majesty feels rich."
"Brother!"
Li Jingye is here.
He looked at Mao Jiao, "The carriage in the palace is really good. I tried it, and the vibration was much smaller, but Ah Weng was too timid to take it."
Li Ji is timid?
This is the funniest joke Jia Pingan has heard since he came to Datang.
"The British Duke is just being cautious. Besides, do you think it's appropriate to offend the emperor for some cheap words and money?"
The British government has no money?
Not bad money!
Then why bother to seek the emperor's fear and hatred.
So the least intelligent kind of courtier is inflation.
"Look at Li Yi's mansion, it's getting bigger and bigger, just wait, this man will not end well."
According to the historical trend, Li Yifu should be gone, but he is still alive and kicking now.
Jia Die is a little relieved.
Li Yifu once admired the gentry, and wanted to marry the gentry for this reason, but was coldly rejected. This person will take revenge, so he regards the gentry as his deadly enemy, and he dares to do anything that can hurt the gentry.
Such teammates are really good. If this person is not too greedy, it is impossible for the emperor to allow him to be rich for a lifetime.
Li Jingye sat down, "Whatever you want. If His Majesty wants to kill him, it's just a matter of punching him."
He smashed the desk with his fist.
Boom!
The case almost collapsed.
Li Jingye raised his fist and said with a dry smile: "Brother, your family's case is probably... I'm afraid the purchase is not good."
Jia Pingan pointed at him, "Du He!"
Du He came, and couldn't help being stunned when he saw the scene, "This is... who broke this?"
Jia Ping'an asked, "Who bought it?"
This case has just been replaced not long ago, it is very new.
Du He said: "The little lady went to the market a while ago, and saw a poor man selling case books, so she thought about changing the case table here from Mr. Lang... It was still with private money, the little lady is really filial!"
Jia Pingan nodded, "Change to another case that is exactly the same as this one. This one was thrown into the kitchen and burned up today."
Du He praised: "Your Excellency is wise."
Even Li Jingye praised: "This is handled properly, it's too big to handle..."
Li Jingye dismantled the case, Du He was stunned and called Xu Xiaoyu to help, and took the wreckage to the kitchen.
Li Jingye went looking for a carriage with a sad face.
Some people say that the Yang family in the north of the city is a carriage family, and they are very talented.
Li Jingye went to look for it, but the Yang family's carriage order has already been scheduled for next year.
"My family's carriage is not short of business."
Li Jingye just acted a little more impatient, and he was immediately hated.
What is Li Jingye's temper?
He has always hated people, who can hate him?
Angry!
Boom!
He slammed his fist on the shaft of the carriage, "Let's go!"
Yang’s family didn’t take it seriously. When assembling the carriage later, they only exerted a little force, and one side of the carriage broke off.
Damn it!
Who did it?
The family thought about it for a while, and they thought of Li Jingye's punch.
"Too wicked!"
The Yang family was angry, and said to the outside world: "My family's carriage will not be sold to Li Jingye!"
The client list of the Yang family's carriage is full of stars, from important ministers to veterans, to dignitaries to aristocratic families, everything is included.
Who doesn’t want a comfortable and shock-absorbing carriage for their elderly?
So no matter how angry Li Jingye is, he can't attack the Yang family.
Exploded!
Li Jingye went to find Jia Pingan again.
Jia Ping'an is being pestered by his daughter to go to the mountains to catch red pandas to accompany Ah Fu.
"Ah Fu doesn't like the same kind."
The species of giant panda is endangered... It is difficult to go into heat, even if you invite those teachers, it will not help. It's hard to come into heat, just a few days, and everyone has to fight for the female bear. After winning the fight, the female bear suddenly refuses, or the male bear suddenly loses his sexuality.
"Why?"
Doudou was very puzzled.
Jia Pingan said: "Iron-eating beasts used to eat meat, but they gradually changed to vegetarians. Think about yourself, if you eat vegetarian dishes, you can eat a lot more, but if you eat meat, your appetite will be much smaller, but?"
Doudou nodded, "But still not as much as A Niang."
"Jia Doudou!"
Mother eats daughter laughs!
Suho next door was furious.
Jia Pingan continued: "Look at how much bamboo and food Ah Fu eats every day? If they live in groups, how much bamboo forest will they need to maintain their lives?"
Jia Ping'an has always suspected that the short estrus period of giant pandas is also for food. If they are in estrus all day and have one litter a year, at most hundreds of years, the population may not be able to find food.
"Yes!" Doudou understood, but a new question arose again, "But wolves and sheep are together!"
"Stupid girl." Jia Pingan laughed and said, "Ah Fu is so vicious. Even if he is alone in the mountains, who would dare to trouble him? Since the sky is not afraid of the earth, why do you want to live in groups?"
Groups need more food, but how can there be such a big bamboo forest for them to eat?
"This is natural selection, they made choices in accordance with the weather."
Doudou was very puzzled, "Is Ah Fu very fierce? But no matter how I pinch his face, he won't get angry."
Jia Pingan couldn't help smiling.
"You didn't see that, if Ah Fu is really angry, tigers and wolves will have to stay away."
National treasures are not fierce, but because they are vegetarian and do not need to hunt, they seem harmless. But the national treasure that can live alone in the mountains and forests, do you think it will be a soft and cute creature?
"I'll try someday."
Doudou went confidently.
Li Jingye stood outside the door with a dejected expression on his face, "Brother."
"What's wrong?"
Jia Ping'an felt that depression was not Li Jingye's emotion.
Li Jingye sat down and complained, "The Yang family is proud, what are you talking about paying first, and then go ask for it at this time next year. Ah Weng is over seventy, mother, wait until next year, yeah wait for him!"
Li Jingye is very concerned about this matter.
Jia Pingan frowned, "So arrogant?"
You don’t need to sell it, you can talk about your family’s rules, but don’t be shy!
The concept that the customer is God, Jia Pingan thinks it is unreliable, but at least you have to treat the customer as your parents, right?
"No." Li Jingye really couldn't bear it.
Although this baby looks vicious, she is actually the most harmless one. For him to say this, it must be that the Yang family said some unpleasant things.
"Du He!"
Du He came in, and Jia Pingan asked, "Do you know the Yang family that makes the carriage?"
Du He nodded, "No. 1 in Chang'an City, but it's arrogant. Even the royal family's custom-made carriages have to be lined up. If anyone speaks rudely, the Yang family is even more rude."
This is to rely on talent to let go.
After Du He asked about the matter, he smiled wryly and said, "Li Langjun is troublesome. Then the Yang family is the best family in Chang'an City, and there is no other family besides this. The British male army has suffered many injuries and illnesses all his life. , Naturally, the carriage should be used well.”
Everyone knows this truth, but let Li Jingye bow his head again...
Li Jingye gritted his teeth, "Forget it, next year is next year, I will go again."
Jia Pingan said: "The Yang family said they would not sell you a carriage, so what are you going to do?"
Li Jingye smiled wryly, "Ah Weng likes to drink recently, and it's still strong alcohol. I asked the person who served him, and they said that A Weng couldn't sleep at night, probably because of his old injuries."
Jia Ping'an stopped him, "Maybe it's hard work?"
Li Jingye nodded.
Jia Ping'an said: "In this way, I will think of a way for you."
"What method?"
Li Jingye stared, "Brother, do you know how to build cars? Don't fool me."
Du He also felt that this matter was a little unreliable.
The Yang family can be said to be the best in the Changan carriage world!
"Mr. Yang, it is said that the Yang family's methods are superb, so that the carriage can be calmed down."
Jia Pingan said flatly: "You think I can't get these out?"
Du He stood with his arms tied.
Li Jingye said: "Brother, are you talking about a carriage?"
Jia Pingan stood up, "The bullock cart!"
Li Jingye: "..."
Leaving Jia's house, headed all the way to the Ministry of Industry.
Yan Liben was pondering over the drawings.
"Yan Shangshu, Zhao Guogong is here."
With a shout from outside, Yan Liben suddenly got up, quickly packed up a semi-finished painting on the desk, and put it into the box.
"Yan Gong!"
Jia Pingan greeted outside.
Yan Liben sat down quickly, stroked his beard, "What's the matter?"
