Chapter 279 Qin's gift to explore flowers! On
The palace gate is still the same, and the token passes all the way.
It's not the time for the court meeting at noon. Normally, no one should go in and out of the palace gate at this time. Song Yi's dress is too casual. Even the palace gate guards are very curious about how the young people who are familiar with this face can enter and exit the palace gate so frequently?
Because Song Yi's familiarity with the path of the palace is limited to the road he has walked, his direction is the imperial study. But before Song Yi went to the imperial study, he was stopped by a strange eunuch and ordered not to move around at will. He even interrogated Song Yi's identity with a vigilant look!
Fortunately, the role of the token at this moment was particularly effective. The eunuch who stopped him instantly changed a flattering face after seeing Song Yi's token clearly, and then bent down to lead Song Yi all the way to the imperial study.
In fact, Zhao Kuangyin is not in the imperial study at this time! However, as soon as Song Yi went to the imperial study, the bodyguard who was ordered in a dark place quietly reported to Zhao Kuangyin. When Song Yi arrived at the door of the imperial study, Zhao Kuangyin also happened to arrive.
The burly body, the wide dragon robe, the emperor's posture, Zhao Kuangyin.
"Xiaomin has seen the emperor, long live the emperor..." Song Yi arched his hand and still did not kneel down.
Zhao Kuangyin's face looked a little calm and said, "Exemption! I think you have made a decision. Come with me to the imperial study!"
After saying that, Zhao Kuangyin pushed open the door of the imperial study and the screen retreated.
Song Yi entered the imperial study after Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin asked Song Yi to sit in the chair, while he was still sitting at the desk.
It was only after noon, and Zhao Kuangyin actually had just finished the imperial meal. It was supposed to be the time to rest, but Zhao Kuangyin did not have a serious rest during this period of time.
What Song Yi doesn't know is that Zhao Kuangyin has spent so much effort on him in his busy schedule! Because at this time, Zhao Kuangyin's mind is completely looking for Yue Wu. He cares about the situation in the north and the current imperial examination in the capital. How can there be any other time to care about other things? Fortunately, some folds of the southern disaster were thrown to the seventh prince, and then the last time Song Yi's treatment methods played a big role, otherwise those problems would also be Zhao Kuangyin's headache...
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin had this rare time to spend a little time thinking about Song Yi.
At this time, both of them were silent and the atmosphere was calm.
Zhao Kuangyin stared straight at Song Yi with a pair of divine eyes. Song Yi's eyes hesitated, and he was really still doing the final entanglement.
It was Zhao Kuangyin who spoke first...
Breaking the silence, Zhao Kuangyin said calmly, "At this moment, Liu Qingci should enjoy flowers in the imperial garden, and you don't have to bother to explore the flowers on the cliff of Datianlong Temple to really explore the flowers!" Your old friend Xu is exempted from the horse farm outside the palace... What's your decision?
Song Yi was silent again.
Zhao Kuangyin waited calmly and habitually reached out and grabbed the jade axe he used as a paperweight. The frequency of rubbing the jade axe with his fingers betrayed his calm and anxious mood outside...
Song Yi looked up!
Zhao Kuangyin's pupils contracted slightly, and he wanted to know the answer in advance from his eyes, but in the end he frowned! Because Song Yi didn't smile, and he didn't look grateful.
Song Yi's expression is... Frowning and smiling?
Song Yi was indeed frowning and smiling, which was a bitter smile! Song Yi said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, Xiao Min toss and turns last night and finally confirmed one thing!"
Zhao Kuangyin frowned and asked.
Song Yi continued, "The emperor's good intentions, Song Yi understood after thinking all night, so I can't thank you enough..."
"But?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes suddenly became cold.
Song Yi was slightly nervous and then replied, "However, it is really difficult for Xiaomin to be an official! However, in fact, Xiaomin has come up with a way to get the best of both things. Can't the emperor think it's feasible?
Zhao Kuangyin's mood fluctuated several times like a sea of fire. Listening to the first half of Song Yi's words, he almost turned his face angrily, but when he heard the last sentence, he seemed to have caught something different. His face suddenly became surprised and said, "It seems that you still refuse to give in?" Since you have another way, you might as well talk about it... I'd like to know, how can you satisfy me?"
Song Yi said calmly, "The emperor's intention is to let Xiaomin contribute to the State of Zhao? And Xiaomin just doesn't want to be an official in the court, but he doesn't want to work for the State of Zhao, right?
Song Yi once again asked the emperor today, and he once again did not know that he had made a taboo. But Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin also directly ignored his boldness again, frowned and replied, "Yes! But do you still want to convince me?"
"It's not... Xiao Min thought that in this case, in fact, the initiative is in the hands of the emperor!" Song Yi said.
"What's the solution of this?" Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled.
Song Yi said calmly, "Your Majesty, you see, Xiaomin is unwilling to be an official in the court because I know that I have no talent to be an official, and the emperor's original intention that Xiaomin must be an official must also be to make the best use of Xiaomin and do their responsibilities... I thought that I would definitely not be able to convince the public based on my results in the imperial examination. It's better to... If the emperor wants to let Xiaomin be an official, he can give him an idle position!"
"Idle job?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed and asked rhetorical.
"The so-called idle position is an official that is not important within the official system, but if Xiaomin is an official for one day, and the emperor has any instructions, you can still be accountable for the crime of dereliction of duty!" Song Yi said calmly.
The doubts in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes gradually faded away and turned into a meaningful and strange expression. He stared at Song Yi with a strange expression and said with a smile, "Is this your method?"
"Yes! Xiaomin thought that what I was afraid of was not working for the country. In fact, I was thinking about the tedious mind of personnel communication and dealing with things, but I was not afraid of working for the country. There is a huge gap between the two, the emperor!" Song Yi said.
"It seems like a way, but if I have something urgent and want your idea? What should I do?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
After being silent, Song Yi said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, Xiaomin has also considered this situation. But... Xiaomin thought that my ability could never be above the literature and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty, in the strategy of the country, in the change of the battlefield, in the sudden accident... My ability is far less than that of the adults in the court, so Xiaomin dares to know one thing... What does the emperor really value about Xiaomin?
Song Yi means that your Majesty, what you like about me, just say it directly. Let's total. As long as it is what you want, I will definitely meet your conditions, but the prerequisite is... I'm not in the morning.
In a word, Song Yi's final decision is that he will meet any condition of the emperor. He has only one condition, that is, he is not in the court.
You can be an official, not in the court; you can work hard, not in the court; you can even not have a salary, not in the court...
How wise Zhao Kuangyin is? How could he not understand Song Yi's decision, so he also fell into a short-term thinking! He also saw one thing clearly, that is, in any case, it seemed that Song Yi was only afraid of spending time between the government and the opposition. Zhao Kuangyin actually understands this matter, but he can't change this situation!
Emperor's art is sometimes a balance technique. The actual situation that Song Yi is afraid of is actually what the emperor wants to see sometimes, and now what Song Yi wants is that he wants to stand outside the court and do things within the court. Of course, the premise is what Zhao Kuangyin asked him to do, not everything...
In the imperial study, he fell into silence again for a while. The previous situation was that Song Yi was silent, and Zhao Kuangyin was slightly nervous. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was silent, Song Yi was extremely nervous, and even the palms of his hands were already wet and full of sweat.
This is the difference between those in power and grass people.
After a long time, Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of Zhao, finally looked up. Song Yi also stared at him nervously and wanted to see the answer to the matter from his expression in advance, but unfortunately, Song Yi was also disappointed to find that Zhao Kuangyin's expression was indifferent, and he could only wait for his mouth in panic. In fact, a secret hidden in his heart is that as long as Zhao Kuangyin wants to take action against Liu Qingci or Xu Mi, he will actually change his words and be a full-hearted official.
If outsiders know that Song Yi has such an idea about being an official, I'm afraid that tens of millions of people will point to Song Yi and the sky to let thunder and lightning kill Song Yi...
It's a pity, not to mention outsiders, even Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know the bottom line in Song Yi's heart. Zhao Kuangyin actually has the ability to force Song Yi to expose his bottom line, but he is still a good king after all...
After a long sigh, there was a burst of laughter.
Zhao Kuangyin hit the jade axe heavily on the bookcase, and then pointed to Song Yi angrily and scolded, "You are too cunning... I can't wait to kill you with an axe... But for the sake of your past contributions, I reluctantly accept your suggestion... It's just that I can't take advantage of you. I still have two requirements!"
Song Yi's relieved expression suddenly became tense again, and his voice asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what else do you have?"
"What else can I ask? I..." Zhao Kuangyin grabbed the jade axe and was about to throw it over. Finally, he threw it on the desk angrily and snorted coldly, "Hum! It seems that you have really heard my instructions? What I want is... It's okay to be idle, or not to be in the court, but... I'm not going to marry you..."
Song Yi's face changed slightly, and he stopped talking.
Zhao Kuangyin deliberately closed his mouth and looked at Song Yi's expression at this time. It was not until he finally saw Song Yi's lost expression that he felt a little relieved. Then he said, "Don't think that good things have been occupied by you. Liu Qingci is in the royal garden!" I... I promise you will go to my garden later, but you have to remember that you are going to write lyrics for my garden... Humph! As for other things, you can do it yourself. It has nothing to do with me..."
Song Yi's face changed from disappointment to surprise, and his heart suddenly became nervous, but suddenly he remembered Zhao Kuangyin's other conditions and immediately asked nervously, "What about other conditions?"
