Song You held the teacup with a complicated expression on his face.
Although this day had been anticipated for a long time and I had made sufficient preparations for it, I still couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Yesterday the Lord Protector came to the palace to express his gratitude to Your Majesty. He said that he was seriously injured and has passed away. I am afraid that I will not be able to receive God's grace. I only ask Your Majesty to take good care of his descendants after his death." Yu Jianbai's tone was also very calm.
, replied truthfully, "Chen Ziyi's meritorious service is unparalleled. If he dies as the duke of the country, his descendants will have no worries for generations to come, but there is only one thing..."
Yu Xiang paused as he spoke, pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he was also thinking about how to express himself.
Of the two people beside him, one had his head slightly lowered and was only staring at the tea foam floating in the tea cup on the table, as if there were countless things to see inside. The other simply turned his head and looked outside, as if he was reviewing the security on the streets of Changjing.
"The Lord Protector requested in the above table that his brother Chen Yichen be worthy of succeeding him as the commander-in-chief of the three towns in the north." Yu Jianbai paused for a moment before speaking, "There is no problem in itself. Since he returned to Beijing, the military power of the three towns in the north has
He is in the hands of Chen Yi. From him onwards, the person with the highest prestige in the northern army is also Chen Wuwei. The two are relatives. If the protector of the country dies from his injuries, it is reasonable and reasonable to let Chen Wuwei succeed him.
The military power of the three towns is not an excessive request, but there is one thing that the Protector does not know..."
"What's the matter?"
"Now for some unknown reason, there are some rumors in the palace, probably saying..."
Yu Jianbai looked around and outside, only to see a little girl wearing three-color clothes holding a bowl, and quickly said: "Dayan will decline, and will be replaced by the Chen family."
"This rumor..."
"I don't know where Yu came from." Yu Jianbai guessed that it was related to Miao Huazi, but there was no evidence, so he didn't say anything, so as not to appear like an unwarranted criticism.
"It seems that this has aroused the emperor's vigilance."
"That's how it should be."
Yu Jianbai let out a long sigh. Not long after the new king took the throne, he said with emotion: "I don't know how many storms there will be in the future..."
Song You sat there, also silent.
In a daze, things in the future were like wind and rain, falling in through the screens of doors, windows, and curtains. They seemed to be there and not there at all, and were blurry. They appeared one by one before his eyes, turning the pages of history.
What is vaguely glimpsed is a corner of the current situation.
It is an epic that people will speculate on and explore thousands of years later.
Until the girl brought a bowl and put it on the table with a clanking sound. In the bowl was a large bowl of glutinous rice balls with fermented glutinous rice and egg drops floating in it. She said nothing and quickly ran to get four small bowls and spoons.
Divide the big bowl of glutinous rice balls into four small bowls and give them to four people respectively. Looking at her focused and meticulous expression, she really looks like a Taoist boy and a little adult.
"Eat quickly."
After Sanhua Empress finished speaking to the four of them, she hugged the bowl and left.
There was a lot of soup base left in the bowl. She took a small stool and sat at the door to drink alone, leaving only a petite figure behind for the four of them. She held the bowl that was bigger than her head and lowered her head to drink from time to time.
She took a sip and made a sigh like drinking wine or smacking her lips like drinking soup. From time to time she turned her head and looked left and right. I didn't know what she was looking at, but she seemed to be more leisurely and comfortable than the four people in the room.
“It’s time to eat some Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival.”
Song You picked up the spoon first and said to the three of them: "Just treat it as dessert, don't be polite."
Upon hearing this, the three of them also picked up their spoons.
Changjing is very famous for its street food. Sometimes even nobles in the palace would send people out to buy it. They would even ask people out to buy supper late at night and ask for a certain restaurant by name.
The rice dumplings made with rice wine are also pretty good here.
Yu Xiang, an elderly man, especially liked to eat this kind of soft, sweet and glutinous food. He tasted three pieces in a row, and then he paused for a moment, not forgetting the business, and continued to ask him for advice:
"This immigration to fill the North was originally proposed by the DPRK when the North was first established a few years ago. However, although the war in the North was initially determined at that time, people kept hearing that evil spirits were rampant and the trouble was rampant.
At that time, the imperial adviser had been away from the court for several years, and His Majesty ignored the state affairs and put it on hold. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it has been re-established. However, since last year, strange things have happened everywhere, and epidemics have become rampant. This large-scale immigration
I don’t know if the filling of the north is going smoothly, Yu is just afraid that trouble will arise again.”
"The north? It should be mainly Yuezhou, right?"
"It is indeed mainly Yuezhou."
"I traveled to the north a few years ago. At that time, most of the evil spirits in the north were pacified, and the big monsters may no longer exist." Song You recalled it and answered truthfully, "However, after all, the evil spirits in several states in the north are much smaller than the ones in the north."
There are many more in the south, especially in the north where there are fewer people. Where there are fewer people, spirits and monsters breed. Not to mention that with the increase in weird things in the world, there may be even more."
"What should I do?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu. They are just little monsters. They can trouble someone for a while, but they can't trouble a whole life. They can trouble one person or a family, but they can't trouble a group of people." Song You said calmly, "As long as people realize that they are not
It’s not scary. With the courage and ferocity to fight against them, these evil spirits won’t be able to cause much trouble.”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Luo Baotou: "The squad leader should have a deep understanding of this."
"That's right!"
Catcher Luo didn't expect that he would suddenly speak to him, nor did he expect that he would have the opportunity to interrupt when the prime minister was talking to an immortal. He was inevitably a little panicked, but he replied: "That's right. Luo is the arrester.
The biggest realization I have had over the past few years is that those evil spirits and ghosts are not as scary as people think, but people think they are too scary. But as long as people are brave and determined, and are not afraid of them and are not confused by them, they can
You will find that some evil spirits and ghosts are not much more powerful than wild dogs in the mountains. They can still be beaten to death with a random stick or hacked to death with a knife."
"That's good, that's good..."
Yu Jianbai was a scholar and had rarely heard of these things. However, he heard the heroic words in Luo Baotou's words and was infected by them, which made him feel a little more confident.
"Thanks to Mr. Lu's guidance, when Luo encounters evil spirits and ghosts in the future, he often searches for their weaknesses and methods of restraint to deal with them. Over the years, he has learned a lot." Luo Captou said to Yu Xiang, "
If Prime Minister Yu needs it, Luo can compile it into a book to help the people moving north to deal with the evil spirits in the north."
"That's great!" Yu Jianbai was happy at first, then frowned, "It's just that the class leader is busy with official duties and has to organize it into a book. Will it be a bit troublesome?"
"If Mr. Yu wants to save some effort for Mr. Luo, please send a literary scholar to the Yamen residence. Mr. Luo will dictate the method and the literati will record it. Not only will it save effort, but it will also be more eye-catching than Mr. Luo's word "dog crawling".
"I'll trouble the class leader!"
"Easy to do."
"Working in Yizhou, it's really a great blessing for Yu to meet such a great catcher as the supervisor."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
"If the squad leader can compile a lifelong method of dealing with evil spirits and ghosts into a book, it should be widely spread throughout the world, and it can be used to spread history." Song You also said.
"Luo is a warrior, and I don't dare to think about it in the history of history. I just hope that I can help the process of filling the North go smoothly."
"So there shouldn't be too many worries." Song You held the spoon in his hand and said calmly. After a pause, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "If we talk about a great demon, there should be another one in the north."
"oh?"
All three people at the table were stunned.
Whether it is Yu Zhizhou, who has become the prime minister, or Liu Zhixian, who is gradually rising to a high position, or Luo Baotou, who often deals with all kinds of people, it can be seen from the Taoist at this moment that he has no feelings for the big demon. Very vigilant.
"I don't know..."
"Haha, no problem."
The Taoist suddenly smiled again, waved his hands and said: "I will leave Beijing soon, and I will go to Yuezhou with the people who are moving north. I want to meet the seniors I didn't meet last time this time. , I want to see the scenery I didn’t see last time this time.”
"When will you leave, sir?"
"I'll be leaving in a few days. The time is uncertain. I don't need a few more to send you off this time." Song You said while cupping his hands, "All of you are capable ministers and have the heart to serve the people. At this time, the world needs a few of you. Now that we are busy with official duties, I would like to ask you not to take care of a mountain Taoist."
Everyone chatted for a while and had a small bowl of rice dumplings with rice wine as dessert. It was really like a gathering of old friends and friends, but most of the talk was about important matters. It wasn't until the sun rose that the three of them said goodbye to Song You.
At this time, the little girl was still sitting on the small bench at the door, holding a bowl larger than her head. Whenever she raised the bowl and lowered her head to drink the glutinous rice soup, she almost buried her entire face in the bowl.
When she saw the three people coming out being escorted off by her Taoist priest, she said nothing or stood up, but she turned her head and stared at them without blinking, like a cat's unique farewell gift.
As soon as the three of them walked away, she picked up the bowl, raised her head, took two sips, drank it all, then got up and went to clear the table.
"Hey! I've finished eating the dumplings!"
"Finished."
"Who eats it?"
"Luo Baotou eats it."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"It's enough for me to eat Yuanxiao."
"Well……"
The girl raised her head and shook her head, not very happy.
The Taoist sat down and fell into deep thought.
"The general trend of the world, haha..."
The ancestors of Fulongguan all have their own views and attitudes on Feng Shui, luck, and the general trend of the world. It depends on the era they live in and their personal experiences. The same is true for Song You - he has never felt that fate is so powerful that no one can resist it. In other words, destiny is so arrogant that it does not allow people to resist, but he is more inclined to the general trend of the world and human beings to complement each other. It doesn't matter who is the master and who is the guest, it only depends on who is more powerful.
If a person is weak, he will be influenced by heaven; if a person is strong, he will definitely defeat heaven.
The relationship between the two is more complicated.
He said that the fate of Dayan's country was declining, that the general trend of the world was set, that the Lin family would decline and that the Chen family would rise, in his opinion, these were not necessarily true.
The emperor was naturally unhappy after hearing this.
No matter whether the monarch has great talents and great strategies and has the capital to compete with the general trend of the world, he will not sit still and wait for death.
But if the monarch has a strong and calm heart, has the self-confidence to ignore this, and after hearing this, he will work hard to govern and protect the country and the people. Even if he has no intention of fighting with the sky, he can easily win. But if the monarch is tossing and turning because of a mere rumor, he will be worried.
, fearing suspicion, being in panic all day long, and even plotting against loyal people and killing innocent people indiscriminately, then no matter how hard you struggle, you will probably have to follow the general trend.
