The wind was warm and the sun was shining brightly, and Yan Shiyue followed Xu Xiang leisurely.
How could this old man be so knowledgeable? Yesterday, she gave his daughter-in-law a gift, and with all the foreshadowing... Well, actually, when she asked him to give a lecture before, she didn’t think much about it, but then when she was having a barbecue
, as soon as she saw the eyes of those people, she understood instantly.
So she just went with the flow.
There is a ready-made old fox, a veteran of two dynasties, and a "royal party". Why would she use the little fox that was delivered to her door? Does she want him to look good?
They can pull her into the water, and she can pull him into the water. Can they pull each other? Leggings are healthier!
Prime Minister Xu is only sixty years old and can still shine for the court, but he cannot get up so early.
The two of them were silent for a while. Xu Mingxiu glanced at her: "I'm old..."
Yan Shiyue said with a smile, "Master Xiang will always be strong."
Xu Mingxiu shook his head: "Your Highness has just entered the court. If you are really determined to make progress, you can chat with them more, brainstorm ideas, and choose the good ones, so that you can gain something."
"No," Yan Shiyue said: "Those who are extremely virtuous will not be in harmony with the common people, and those who have achieved great success will not seek publicity."
Xu Mingxiu was stunned.
He said gently: "I am really old. My teeth are white now, my consciousness is weakened, and my ambitions have all been abandoned."
Yan Shiyue said: "What ambitions did the prime minister have? What efforts did he make for this?"
Xu Mingxiu was stunned again.
He pondered for a long time and then said: "Then what does Your Highness want?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Someone once asked me this question. At that time, I was still a little village girl in Jubao Village. My answer was this, 'Even if you can't do whatever you want, at least you can be free and don't have to bow to anyone.
You don’t have to be bullied by anyone.'"
She paused for a moment: "Now, I think I've almost done it, right?
Xu Mingxiu nodded.
Yan Shiyue continued: "So, now, as 'Yan Shiyue', I still want to be free and do whatever I want. At the same time, I hope that the people I love can have everything go smoothly, that all their wishes come true, and that they can be happy every day."
...At the same time, as the 'Prime Minister', I hope that the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and the army and horses will be strong. I want peace and prosperity, and dominance over the world. I want the people of Dayan to go out, and no one dares to bully them. I want the people from all over the world to be submissive, and people from all directions to come to court."
She looked at him: "In fact, I have always believed that 'country' is the bottom line of a people, but when I was a little village girl, I never thought about this issue, even when I was 'Her Royal Highness'
At that time, most of the things I did were in line with the trend, for myself and for Aye."
"My thoughts changed since I came to the DPRK from Mobei."
Xu Mingxiu was silent.
She said: "In your position, you plan your politics. Prime Minister, what did you want when you first entered the court? What did you want when you first ascended the throne? Now that you are not old, why do you act like a man? Don't forget your original intention.
Prime Minister!"
Xu Mingxiu was speechless for a long time.
He sighed and said: "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. Your Highness is smart and enlightened, but the old minister is confused."
While chatting, the two returned to the courtyard where Xu Mingxiu lived. The servants served tea. Yan Shiyue waved him down, poured the tea for Xu Mingxiu herself, and served it with both hands.
Xu Mingxiu didn't refuse and took it.
He said: "Your Highness is as innocent as a child, and the Holy One is also a man of temperament, but you must also understand that the Holy One is a king and has this world in his heart."
"I understand." Yan Shiyue said: "I will try my best not to let Aye make such a choice, but if there is an emergency, then I can understand that I will not wipe out Aye's kindness to me.
"
Xu Mingxiu nodded and said: "Your Highness is like a sheathed sword now. Do you want to know your name before and after you are alive?"
Yan Shiyue said: "If you come in front of me and scold me, I will definitely fight back. If a rat hides in the gutter and scolds me, then whatever! I can't do it if you ask me to compromise for a little fame."
Xu Mingxiu smiled and sighed: "Your Highness is very thoughtful, I have nothing to teach you."
Even so, the two of them still chatted for a long time.
Yan Shiyue discovered that Xu Xiang did not become a Buddhist when he was old, but that his views were more Buddhist. In fact, he should be called "the Golden Mean". He was more upright and peaceful in dealing with others, cultivated himself and established himself, and lived in harmony with the world.
This was the first person she came into contact with who truly understood this.
In the afternoon, I heard that Dali Temple in the capital had received a case, and someone accused Lin Fujian of poisoning and killing his clan members.
This should be King Yujun's counterattack. This time the process was reasonable and legal, and he went directly to Dali Temple to file a complaint.
It's just because the emperor is in the palace and the court is also in the palace. Although Dali Temple is not deserted, after all, it is the court official who is being sued, so the matter will still be handled here.
Qu Sinian, who came uninvited, gave her some popular science: "Lin Fujian was born in a poor family, his parents died early, and he was greatly favored by his clan. Later, he enjoyed an official career, and his clansmen came to ask for help, but they were turned away. This matter was reported to the court.
Many of them know it.”
Speaking of which, Lin Fujian is also very inspiring.
Lin Fujian came from a poor family. It is said that his parents died early and he passed the Jinshi examination during the reign of the late emperor.
But what makes him different from others is that, for example, Xu Wenqu was very talented when he took the exam, and Tang Shirong, for example, although he was unknown at first, he passed the exam step by step and gradually attracted attention.
But Lin Fujian, who passed the county examination all the way, always ranked neither high nor low, and did not attract attention, but he was not at the bottom of the list.
After the academic examination, he entered Lushan Academy, and then until he entered the Hanlin Academy, his talent gradually became apparent.
Then step by step, he worked steadily, and after winning the favor of the late emperor, he was promoted step by step. He presided over several provincial examinations and participated in several joint examinations. He had students all over the world. He also single-handedly supported Lushan Academy, which was originally just an influential institution in the local area.
It was just an academy, but now it has become the aspiration of students in several states.
But how can I put it, the butt determines the head, and poor families and aristocratic families have never dealt with it well.
But Lin Fujian was not the same. Even among those from a poor family, there were many who looked down upon him, but his disciples were all very convinced of him, which meant that this man should have a way of controlling his subordinates.
As for this case, after Lin Fujian entered the cabinet a few years ago, his cousin's descendants came to seek refuge with him, but he was poisoned to death. It is said that two men, as well as the family's children, were all poisoned to death.
.
At this time, the previous murder case of Prince Yu’s brother has not progressed yet.
Although the news about this case has spread, the indictment and other documents are still on the way.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Lin Fujian submitted a letter and requested that the matter be supervised by Yan Shiyue.
Yan Shiyue: "...???"
So, what's the conspiracy here?
Regarding this, Xu Xiang said: "Your Highness, you don't need to think too much. According to my experience, the reason for the appointment is because of this matter. Mr. Lin has a clear conscience."
Qu Xiaohu said: "Lin Fujian is a man of scheming and long-term plans. Prime Minister needs to be cautious."
Even Emperor Ming Yan asked her: "What do you think?" (To be continued)
