Only now did Fang Xuanling understand why His Majesty had sent him to test a youth. It turned out that there was a young talent.
This youth was truly not simple. He was simply a literary star that had descended from the heavens. If he could gain experience in the imperial court for three to five years, he could directly enter the Ministry of Central Affairs and become a scholar!
Wan Kuan looked at Fang Xuanling, who had almost torn off his beard, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. Pretending to be ignorant, he was an old fox in the officialdom!
Seeing Wan Kuan's expression, Fang Xuanling also felt that he had lost his composure just now. He immediately chuckled to ease the awkwardness.
"Boss, that's impossible. It must be known that the north is not easy to deal with. Our Great Tang had just avoided a calamity two years ago, and now we're making a move this year. It's a little illogical!”
Wan Kuan listened to Fang Xuanling's words with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Sir, it's a good thing you didn't enter the officialdom!”Wan Kuan sighed.
"What do you mean?" Fang Xuanling was a little confused.
"Sir, you can't even guess the current Emperor's temper. If you become an official, it will be difficult for you to be promoted. You will probably be a small official for the rest of your life!”
Fang Xuanling almost vomited blood after hearing Wan Kuan's words. He was already a prime minister, but in Wan Kuan's mouth, he was just a minor official.
He was already the head of the civil officials, but in the eyes of this youth, he was a fool who did not understand the heart of the emperor and was only worthy of being a minor official for the rest of his life.
Wan Kuan watched as Fang Xuanling's face turned from white to red, then from red to green. It was a spectacular scene. In fact, Wan Kuan was also deliberately provoking him. Wan Kuan had long seen that the official position of this scholar in front of him was not low.
"Then Boss, tell me what kind of emperor His Majesty is.”
Fang Xuanling sounded a little angry, but the anger in his heart had yet to dissipate.
"Wise Ruler!"
"What? And then?"
"A capable emperor!"
"What else?"
"No!" Wan Kuan shrugged.
"This…" "Boss, do you have anything else to say?" Fang Xuanling miscalculated again.”
Wan Kuan shook his head, and Fang Xuanling felt a hundred claws scratching his heart."Boss, you said that I can't feel the current Emperor's temper. Then what is his temper like?”
At this time, Wan Kuan was a little impatient. If every customer who came to eat was so troublesome, he would be exhausted every day.
"His Majesty is decisive, and no matter how powerful the Turks in the north are, he is never afraid.”
Wan Kuan's words made Fang Xuanling's heart skip a beat."But the Turks are too powerful. This isn't a good time!”
In truth, Fang Xuanling did not approve of sending troops to the Turks this year. The Great Tang had just been living a good life, and this war would wipe out all its wealth.
Wan Kuan looked at Fang Xuanling with disdain.""Now is not a good time, then when is a good time?”
"Three to five years later, when the treasury is full, it will be a good time.”
Wan Kuan smiled contemptuously. He wouldn't dare to do it now, and he wouldn't dare to do it in three to five years. After three to five years, they would say that there were not enough warhorses. When there were enough warhorses, they would say that they did not have enough weapons.”
"Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows! No matter what, he would always have an excuse, but in truth, he was just scared out of his wits by the Turks.”
Fang Xuanling broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Wan Kuan's words. He did not expect that the thing that he had been unable to figure out all this time would be pointed out by this youth in front of him.
Those in the court who did not approve of this year's use of troops seemed reasonable, but the result was that they could not overcome the fear in their hearts. And he thought himself to be rational, but it was only because he was timid.
Originally, Fang Xuanling had been ordered to probe the owner of the Myriad Blessing Pavilion, but after a conversation, Fang Xuanling understood the demon barrier in his heart.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling felt that he had completed the task His Majesty had given him. He felt that he had already seen through the youth before him.
Fang Xuanling felt that the sun was particularly glaring as he walked out of the restaurant.
Fang Xuanling turned around and bowed to Wan Kuan.""Thank you for answering my question, Boss. I'm extremely grateful!”
Wan Kuan waved his folding fan again." It's fine. Are you satisfied with the Ten Thousand Blessing Tower?"”
"Satisfied, satisfied, great!"
"Alright, take care, husband!"
Wan Kuan's words shocked Fang Xuanling so much that he almost fell over.
Wan Kuan looked at Fang Xuanling, who was trembling with fear, and couldn't help but smile. In the Great Tang, only the Prime Minister could be called the Prime Minister. It was just that this prime minister in front of him was a little bad at disguising himself!
"How do you know that I am husband?" Fang Xuanling asked in shock.
"The boots on my husband's feet are extraordinary," Wan Kuan said."They're of a new style and belong to the officials of the three provinces and six ministries." Although her husband was only wearing an ordinary round neck robe, the inner garment was made of silk!”
"Silk undergarments, fifth-grade and above. There were traces of creases on the collar of the middle robe. Only officials above the third rank would wear a jade ring when they went to court. He often wore a jade ring, so there was a mark on his neck.”
"There are marks on one side of my husband's belt, but he's not wearing a jade pendant. It could be seen that her husband had taken off the accessory on his waist before coming to Wanfu Restaurant. It was probably because her husband did not want others to see his purple goldfish bag!”
Fang Xuanling stood there in a daze. There was only one sentence in his mind: Wisdom is close to the demon!
