Chapter 723 (2/2)

But at this time, Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi reacted much faster than others. They were like a mirror in their hearts. They knew that their memorial touched the bottom line of the royal family. In an instant, they were both sniveling and tearful. Under the dignified look of the ministers, they were put out by Huameng and other eunuchs.

Li Hong summoned the maid in waiting next to her and handed her the memorial. She said faintly, ”you are still wondering, right? Don't be in a hurry. Let's finish reading the memorial. Give it to them. Let them pass it on. ”

Seeing that the maiden took the lead in handing the memorial to shangguanyi of Zhongshu Province, Li Hong continued: ”I know that some people want to do meritorious service and show up in front of his majesty, hoping to open up their own official career. However, if they only flatter and flatter, but can not make any contribution to the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty, all this is in vain Hard work. ”

He stood up and stretched himself. Then he continued, ”there are problems in the royal family. The father and the emperor have not been in Zen, and the governor is the crown prince. This gives some people the opportunity to take advantage of it. They think that as long as they can win the favor of his majesty and bypass the stage of supervising the crown prince, they will be able to rise to the top of the ladder, so they start to do everything possible, There are still some memorials in this case, or they are all obtained from your majesty. As for who was sent, I think you are very clear. Fortunately, among your memorials, human nature has not been destroyed and the way of heaven has not been violated. Therefore, I will not pursue the matter and no one will see them again. It's just I would like to advise all of you, especially those officials of the fourth grade, who want to step into the third grade high-ranking officials and follow a devious path, will never work now or in the future, unless you can make any contribution to the Tang Dynasty and the country. Of course, just like gexiyuan and shizangjie in those years, Anxi and Annan are now short of civil servants, if who wants to Go. I think I'm good enough. I totally agree. But it is said that if anyone dares to interfere in unexpected military affairs after taking office, and dares to slack off in his post, then don't blame me, the crown prince, for not showing mercy to you. ”The lunch was slowly brought up by the palace people, but in the whole xuanzheng hall, except for the officials above the third grade, the rest of the officials did not know what to eat. Some people who were originally thinking of ghosts began to think about how to go about their official career in the future, or speculated about the fate of Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi, two opportunistic officials.

However, even Li Hong had to deny that the current atmosphere in the court was closely related to himself.

If it was not for my unwillingness to inherit the throne prematurely, then all this would not have happened.

After all, in today's Tang Empire, there are two emperors in charge of the power of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is a big difference between this and the fact, in the eyes of some ministers, he is still the crown prince and is not the real authority of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, some officials began to secretly seek other ways of promotion when the two powers of the royal family were in accordance with each other. Then, they offered flattering words to the emperor who had been recuperating in the harem. In this way, with the emperor's appreciation, they could bypass the crown prince and achieve the goal of promotion.

After all, there was no precedent before that. For example, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, who were just in their twenties, sat down as ministers of the Ministry of work.

Although he has been removed from office this year, and there is a relationship between the royal family and the country, there is no absolute thing. If I can give advice to his majesty and write a memorial to his majesty about the shortcomings and drawbacks that he sees in the court, he will not become a talent once his Majesty recognizes it Promoted and appointed by your majesty?

Li Hong, who had finished his meal hastily, took the warm towel handed over by the maid of honor and wiped his mouth. After wiping his mouth, Li Hong, who was really full or pretended to be full, staggered out of the xuanzheng hall and came to the railing in front of the hall.

The white marble railings glitter with light, and also emit the cold winter's unique coldness. No one would like to help the cold railings in front of their eyes with their hands at this time, because their attention is all under the steps, on the square in front of the hall, and on the open bluestone slabs.

At this time, under the urging of Huameng and others, Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi were digging the ground with hoes. The land frozen for a winter was extremely hard. In addition, this was the square in front of the Daming Palace. When it was first built, the Loess under the slate had been rammed as solid as rock, So if you want to excavate this tamped land, it really needs a lot of time and effort.

”Your Highness...”

”I don't need to say that. I'll discuss it after the new year's day. I don't think it has anything to do with you two? Or did you both disappoint me Li Hong looked back, behind the white marble railing, looking at the Zongzheng Temple Qing behind him and Taichang Temple Qing asked lightly.

”Your Highness, your highness, your highness, is the reason why such a rebellious and ruthless person appeared in Taichang temple. Please punish him.” Taichang Temple minister respectfully salutes, the old face is already green and red.

”The living are buried!”

If it had not been for the assurance given by Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi in xuanzheng hall that the memorial was actually written by them, he could not believe that anyone had put forward such a proposal that was against the principles of heaven and man.
