Chapter 5 Honesty
Wei Chi talked about a lot of topics about punctuation. His Majesty Li Er was an emperor who attached great importance to talents and education. Historically, during his time as emperor, he vigorously developed the cause of education. The Imperial College was the highest institution in the country, with six schools under it, accepting the admission of children at all levels, and the Chongwen Pavilion and Hongwen Pavilion, which were set up for the children of royal relatives and senior officials. He once said happily because of the imperial examinations, "All talents in the world are in my vocation."
After Wei Chi talked about the use of punctuation marks, His Majesty Li Er understood the benefits and said, "I will summon the Imperial College Priest and other doctors from various studies to the palace to discuss this matter. Zi Yue, you have made another contribution."
Wei Chi was a little stunned and stuttered, "Your Majesty, this... this is not a credit, right? This is just a little thing. As a citizen, you don't need to be credited for this little thing. You have promoted me to the fourth-rank official. It's only less than half a year. I dare not do it again. It's better to reward some gold, silver, etc., and you don't need silk, silk, satin. We have few people in our family and can't wear so much. How cute are gold and silver? It's okay to see if you have nothing to do."
“…”
His Majesty Li Er was speechless. Looking at Wei Chi's eyes, he seemed to have the idea of kicking him again. Empress Changsun smiled from the side. Wei Chi is really as her husband and her children say. It's hard to say what kind of person she is.
Seeing that the situation was dangerous, Wei Chi quickly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, what is the second thing you are looking for me?"
"I made you confused and almost forgot about your business."
Wei Chi was serious: "Your Majesty, you are modest. With your wisdom and magical martial arts, how could you be confused by a boy like me?"
"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about serious matters!"
His Majesty Li Er looked upright and said, "The second thing I tell you about is the matter of Tubo Zanpu's proposal of marriage in the court just now."
When he heard this, Wei Chi hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I am the Shaoqing of the Siong Temple, who is in charge of farming and state affairs. If you have time, you can discuss how to promote tomato planting, corn yield, etc. Or, discuss medical issues, I can also answer questions. I am an amateur in Tubo, so why don't you say it?"
After saying that, he carefully looked at His Majesty Li Er's face. His Majesty Li Er had a stern face, and could not see his expression of joy and anger. He said leisurely: "Then why are you glaring at the Tubo envoy in the court?"
"Uh...that's because I have never seen Tubo people. I'm curious, and everyone has a curiosity, hehe."
"Then why are you staring at Li Gang again, hoping to rush over and beat him up?"
"Uh... Your Majesty, who is Li Gang?"
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Wei Chi and said, "Li Gang is the one who suggested that I agree to Tubo's proposal."
Wei Chi suddenly realized and murmured in a low voice: "It's Li Gang. I have long been famous. It's better to be famous than to meet him."
"Wei Chi and Wei Ziyue, I am asking you what I am, I am a minister, I order you to answer. What do you think of Li Gang's proposal?"
His Majesty Li Er looked unpredictable, with a deep and majestic expression. Wei Chi looked frowning. After thinking about it, he asked a question: "Your Majesty, should you use a more straightforward statement or a more tactful and implicit statement?"
"What should I say in a blunt way? So what if I say it in a tactful and implicit manner?"
"The tactful and implicit statement means that I do not agree with Lord Li Gang's words; the blunt statement, Lord Li Gang's words are purely nonsense, and I am stupid to read books."
Uh...it's really straightforward.
Empress Changsun smiled again, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, you discuss state affairs with Ziyue. I will go out and take a look. I will ask the Imperial Season to get you some food. I will leave."
After Empress Changsun left, Wei Chi grabbed his head, thought bitterly, and said, "Your Majesty, I will give you a brief explanation. I have always been unwilling to touch state affairs. First, I really don't understand this matter very much, and second, I am afraid of death. Although I returned from overseas, as long as anyone has the will, I can always put me on a hat of unknown origin, and even fabricate it. My life can be said to be a survivor of the disaster, which is equivalent to living such a big part of life. How good is it to be alive. I am still young and want to see the Wei Mansion spreading and the children and grandchildren in the future. I cherish my life, cherish everything I have, and understand where my strengths and weaknesses are."
"When it comes to being an official, and when it comes to national affairs, I know in my heart that it is just a half bottle of water, nothing outstanding. I have told Your Majesty that if you are like this, getting on the horse may miss the military opportunity, and getting off the horse may harm the people. This is not a joke, but my heart. I know in my heart that Your Majesty has a lot of talents, and we can't help but say some things, what should I do? I think about it, but I can only be honest."
Speaking of this, Wei Chi raised his eyes and looked at His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er was silent and held a teacup and slowly savored the tea. Seeing his gaze, he said calmly: "So, have you finished your words?"
Wei Chi gritted his teeth and simply took it aside. The longer this problem is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for him. It is better to explain it clearly now: "I know that Wei Zheng, Lord Wei, was a man from King Jiancheng of Xi, but Your Majesty can still value him and listen to his frank advice. There are also the existence of several old generals, such as my adoptive father, and his majesty's tolerance and the way of using people, which makes me feel that if I treat Your Majesty with sincerity, Your Majesty may be able to feel a little pity for me and give me a way to live."
Wei Chi saluted sincerely and waited for His Majesty Li Er's "judgment" on him. His Majesty Li Er was silent for a long time, and when Wei Chi began to doubt whether it was finished, he spoke: "Wei Chi, you are very smart, you are good at playing with your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, showing your simplicity and concealment. Many people understand this principle, but from ancient times to the present, how many people can really do it!"
"Your Majesty, you are respectful to me again. I am self-aware. I may be very vain in front of others. I will show it occasionally, but I understand my own level in my heart. Your Majesty, you are as wise as a torch, and I dare not deceive me."
"Okay, needless to say, I understand your intentions. Get up and listen to me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wei Chi stood up, and His Majesty Li Er said, "Look at me."
Wei Chi was very obedient and looked up at His Majesty Li Er. He looked very handsome and handsome. He was hit once. Alas, how could there be so many handsome guys in this ancient times!
His Majesty Li Er said: "I said in the military camp that day that day that I have said that as long as you Wei Chi is a talent, I will dare to use you. The rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. Your own future is in your hands. Today, I will reiterate it."
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were filled with confidence, and the handsome guy's face was full of spirit, and he said proudly: "I have raised an army with my father from Taiyuan and immediately conquer the world. After a hundred battles between big and big formations, my world depends on me and all the soldiers fighting bloody battles. It cannot be corrupted by one or two people! Wei Chi, have you heard it?"
Wei Chi lowered his head, and was content with surrender, and was at ease: "Your Majesty, I listened."
