"Sir, you haven't been to the palace for a long time. Why don't you drink a cup with me?"
"Ok."
The status of the Supervisor is extremely high, only higher than that of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, as can be seen from the fact that he calls himself "I" in front of the emperor.
He pulled up a chair and sat down.
The emperor personally poured him tea.
"I asked you to stay here because I want to show you a painting called "Asking for the Way" that my second brother painted."
Sure enough...
The emperor still had concerns about his successor.
The supervisor's mind was clear as a mirror. He did not refuse, nor did he show enthusiasm. He just nodded faintly.
"I have always heard that the Second Prince is a man of great talent and eloquence. He is proficient in the art of playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He is well-known among scholars and candidates. The Emperor recommended his paintings, so I think they are good."
The emperor laughed and took out the "Asking for the Way"
The supervisor swept it,
"There is no chance to return to the road, and I asked the Taoist three times and he was wrong three times... What a good poem! This should be the work of the emperor?"
The emperor nodded.
"I didn't expect that... Haha... There is a rumor that Li Qingcha and the other three are one. Looking back at this poem, it really has a lot of allegorical meaning. The Taoist may not know all the Taoist classics."
"This painting by the Second Prince is also excellent. The layout and brushwork are both top-notch, not inferior to those of famous artists."
"Sir, are you optimistic about the second one?"
See you in the picture!
The Imperial Observatory used the luck of the royal family, so the emperor naturally valued the opinions of the Observatory on the crown prince and the second prince.
The supervisor was lost in thought.
In the days of peace, the prince may be able to be a king who maintains the status quo.
Now that we have a big enemy, the demon clan, if the heir of the demon clan is weak, it would be fine for both sides to compete with each other for worse. However, from the perspective of being lenient in estimating the enemy and strict in defending against the enemy, it is not reliable to rely on the enemy's waste.
As for the second prince...
If the Crown Prince Questionnaire case was led by the Second Prince, then the Supervisor could give him the following evaluation:
He is good at making plans without decision, he is careful with his body when doing great things, and he forgets his life when he sees small gains.
If you insist on picking a general from among the short men, the supervisor will choose the prince.
Because destiny is most afraid of turbulence, under the background of the primogeniture system, the prince is undoubtedly a role that all parties can reluctantly recognize.
Of course, it would be great if we could get away from these two.
The supervisor sighed.
"Your Majesty, I have no objection."
The emperor nodded and put the painting away.
The supervisor had no opinion, but gave an opinion.
Prince.
This can be considered a mature and prudent attitude.
In fact, the emperor was 90% in favor of the prince. After all, it was safer.
However, matters concerning the fortune of the royal family can cause big trouble if not handled properly, so one should be cautious and everything should be judged based on the continuation of the royal family and the continuation of the Great Xia dynasty.
After the emperor had found out the truth, he stopped pursuing the matter.
Drinking tea with a smile,
"In fact, when I was drafting the decree to appoint the crown prince, I repeatedly consulted you, sir. Now that I have reached the age of knowing my destiny, I am suspicious instead."
The supervisor laughed and showed his understanding.
The two did not touch upon the issue of succession and continued to drink tea while chatting about the Three Sects' Discussions on Taoism.
Not long after, the eunuch's voice came.
"Your Majesty, officials from the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites request to see you."
Hearing this, the warden stood up.
"I really should go."
The emperor asked what he wanted to ask, and naturally would not force him to stay. He personally escorted the supervisor to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.
The officials outside saw the prisoner and greeted him quietly.
The supervisor nodded and left briskly.
The emperor turned to the officials and saw that their clothes were very wet, probably because of the rain.
He waved his hand,
"Come into the hall and talk."
More than a dozen people entered the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor took the memorial, read it and asked, "Was that female warrior really impressed by Li Qing this morning?"
The officials exchanged glances.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Jian Zengren's property was donated. Is that true?"
The emperor said "hmm".
He had heard those rumors this morning, so he asked someone to investigate. He got news from the Ministry of Revenue that an unnamed sum of money had indeed been donated to Bozhou Prefecture to help the people in need.
What the woman warrior said was true.
The officials were whispering.
"This is the charm of Lord Li..."
"did not expect."
"Haha, 'Two gold bars, which one is noble and which one is dirty?' Now it seems that this question is not without an answer."
……
These officials were all normal people, and they could probably imagine what Li Qingcha had experienced in Bozhou.
I think that the female warrior was an assassin hired by Jian Zengren. Jian Zengren knew that he was doomed, so he used his property as the hiring fee to hire the assassin to carry out the assassination.
This kind of revenge makes people feel terrified just thinking about it.
Fortunately, Mr. Li...
All the officials believed that Li Qingcha was not only attractive, but also handsome.
Which woman doesn’t like being young and in a high position?
Even if they are warriors who do things for money.
The emperor said: "This is just a minor incident, there is no need to discuss it further."
I didn't ask about Xiang Nanyu's battle with Nightingale because Gao Zhi had said before that Li Qingcha was protected by a sixth-rank cultivator.
He just didn't expect it was a woman again.
Hey!
That bastard is really lucky with women!
However, using beauty to seduce men is not a long-term solution after all. After those female monks have used Li Qingcha to death, they will definitely kick her away, right?
The emperor could only comfort himself in this way.
He closed the book,
"Is there anything else?"
The officials were stunned.
They thought the emperor would mention Li Qingcha's remarks in the afternoon, and they could exaggerate and praise him, and then bring up the old matter again, and promote Li Qingcha to the Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites.
just now……
I had no choice but to go for it!
thump--
The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple suddenly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am Li Qingcha, the Right Deputy Seal Envoy of the Guandao Lusi. Lord Li is a man of noble character, prudent in his official duties, and well-informed. As the autumn hunt is approaching, can you transfer Lord Li to the Honglu Temple after the Three Sects' Discussion is over?"
The official from the Ministry of Rites on the other side: ￣□￣｜｜
The people from the Honglu Temple got there first.
emperor:? ? ?
Did you hear this yesterday?
Time loop?
He immediately said, "Before, when Chu Daxueshi wanted to transfer Li Qingcha to the Honglu Temple, who was the one who disdained his opinion?"
The officials couldn't help but blush.
The emperor snorted coldly,
"Humph! You can't even maintain good interpersonal relationships, and you still expect people to enter the Honglu Temple?"
"Your Majesty, we lack foresight, it is really..."
"Okay, okay, let's go back and think about how to reconcile with Li Qingcha first, and then consider letting him join the Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites."
Although this sounds correct, it always feels a bit weird.
A group of officials stood up and were driven out of the Qianqing Palace.
They couldn't help but talk.
"How to do?"
"Repair the relationship... How about we hold a literary gathering?"
"Today... well... today should be fine. After all, Lord Li just proposed the idea of the three schools of thought being one. I'm afraid that Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism won't be able to find a point of entry. The three schools' discussions in the next few days won't be too intense."
"But our relationship with Lord Li... Oh, by the way, let's find Grand Secretary Chu and ask him to speak for us. There will definitely be no problem."
……
They gradually reached a consensus.
Chu Zhongtian and Li Qingcha are familiar with each other, so if Chu Zhongtian comes forward, Li Qingcha should be willing to give him some face.
Chapter 347 Taoist
The second day's discussion among the three sects ended, but the aftertaste was still there.
In the restaurant,
A Taoist stepped over the threshold.
I only heard the voice of the storyteller coming from inside.
"I saw several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple bowing to Lord Li Qingcha..."
Everyone laughed.
"Haha, here comes the sir again!"
“Familiar recipe, familiar taste, familiar ‘natoubianbai’!”
"Fortunately there were no female officials, otherwise we would have to bow down and worship in the hall."
……
There is a cheerful atmosphere inside and outside the store.
