Yu Minyue really didn't have any solution. She said: "This is also something that can't be helped. When everyone was in Zhan Shi's Mansion, there were few things to do and in front of His Majesty today, we had nothing to fight for, and we had nothing to fight for.
The other adults in the court are on guard, so the relationship between them is not bad."
"Now that His Majesty has succeeded to the throne, he is now the second-in-command in his own yamen, and his position has been stabilized. It seems that those old ministers are no longer your opponents, and you will naturally start to compete with each other for power."
"This is not something you can avoid because of your high moral character. Unless His Majesty personally orders who should do something, it will definitely be inevitable."
"But nowadays, His Majesty likes to delegate power and let you stand alone, and is impatient to care about everything. Besides, there are so many things in the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are reported to the central government, there are so many things that His Majesty cannot care about alone."
After listening to Yu Minyue's words, Qitai continued to sigh and said nothing.
Yu Minyue said a few more words, and then said: "Fortunately, we are all gentlemen, and we can't use bottom-line methods, and we have never formed cliques, which is pretty good."
"I read the history books and found that since Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty, the old and new parties formed cliques and only drew lines based on their positions, without even considering the good or bad of the matter itself. The country was completely corrupted."
"I'm not saying this, Mr. Wang Anshi naturally wants to serve the country and the people, but many of his actions are counterproductive. So you need to think twice before doing anything."
Then Yu Minyue looked at Qi Tai and said: "Husband, you should also pay attention. I think you want to find a way to bridge such a thing, but this is impossible, but it is easy to fall into it." Yu Minyue understands Qi very well.
Tai, so I specially remind you.
As expected, Qi Tai's face looked a little unnatural. He also knew that it was not easy to bridge their relationship, but he still wanted to give it a try.
Yu Minyue watched his expression continue to change, knowing that Qi Tai still had not given up, and then said: "Husband, throughout the dynasties, countless people have capsized in internal fights! Even the emperor's cronies are not immune."
"We won't talk about Zhang Tang in the Han Dynasty. We won't talk about his character. Let's just talk about trust. How much Han Wu once trusted him. But later, when the prime minister at that time planned an unjust case, Han Wu still dealt with it without giving Zhang Tang a chance to defend himself.
It forced him to commit suicide. Later, it was Zhang Tang's mother who dealt with it properly and the matter was vindicated."
"On the contrary, Ji An advocated quietness and rarely participated in the disputes between ministers. On the contrary, he ended up in peace and had a good death."
"Husband, I guess you don't just want to mediate the dispute by yourself. You must want to contact other people. You should probably want to contact Chen Shilang (Chen Xingshan)."
Qitai continued to change his expression unnaturally, because Yu Minyue had guessed his plan again.
Yu Minyue continued: "Husband, although Shilang Chen is a bit pedantic, judging from the several times he has come to our house, he actually understands very well in his heart. It is not like my husband who always thinks for the best."
"Although Shilang Chen will not take the initiative to fight for power with others, he mostly takes care of himself and is not like my husband."
Yu Minyue couldn't speak clearly to Qi Tai, but Qi Tai was not stupid. Thinking about it, she felt that she was just wishful thinking, and Chen Xingshan might not be willing to reconcile with him.
But if he can easily give up his own ideas because of difficulties, then he is not Qi Tai. However, he will not act recklessly and will pay attention to some skills.
But he will not discuss this with Yu Minyue. Since Yu Minyue has clearly expressed her opposition to this matter, how could Qitai still discuss it with his wife.
Qi Tai then changed the subject. Just now Yu Minyue mentioned Ji An, so Qi Tai said: "Just now you mentioned Ji An. Speaking of which, His Majesty admires Ji An very much."
Yu Minyue secretly sighed. If Qi Tai continued the topic just now, although she did not agree with Qi Tai's approach, she would definitely advise Qi Tai on how to do it. But since Qi Tai changed the topic, she could not
I chased after him.
Yu Minyue then continued Qi Tai's words and asked: "Why does Your Majesty admire Ji An?"
Qi Tai said: "You still remember Ji An's deeds mentioned in "Historical Records" and "Han Shu". Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to conquer the Xiongnu, Ji An opposed sending troops to the Xiongnu and advocated continuing to make peace."
"But after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conquer the Huns and won a great victory, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to forgive the captured Huns. However, Ji An believed that forgiving the Huns was equivalent to using the people of the Han Dynasty to support the Huns, and advocated that all the captured Huns should be distributed to the meritorious soldiers.
As a slave.”
Qi Tai did not continue, but Yu Minyue also understood what Qi Tai meant. Yunxi basically did not have the idea of a big country like the monarchs of the past dynasties. Although he often talked about the Celestial Kingdom, he actually did not care about the Celestial Kingdom.
It's decent, but the signboard is still useful now, so just use it.
Yunxi also said privately: 'The people who support the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are the people of the Ming Dynasty, not the people of the foreign vassals. Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty who sacrifice the people of the Ming Dynasty to save the foreign vassals are ungrateful.'
These words were not said in public, but most ministers who were officials in the capital during the Ming Dynasty knew about it. Because there was no problem with the logic of Yunxi's words, the officials had nothing to offer advice.
Of course, these words made many officials feel uncomfortable. Since the Han Dynasty, Chinese officials have more or less had the idea of a heavenly empire. This idea reached an extreme in the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty defeated Tubo.
Under such circumstances, he took the initiative to make a marriage; not only the marriage was not included, but he also gave away part of the land and some advanced technologies that Tubo did not have. This is a very stupid behavior.
Yunxi has always believed that sending money to seek peace when you can't defeat someone is humiliating, but it's understandable. If you insist on disobeying someone when you can't defeat them, the end result will be greater losses.
This situation reached its extreme in the late Ming Dynasty in history. Whether I joined the invaders or Houjin invaded, it was right to seek peace at the expense of some property when the army could not defeat it, but it was because of some ignorant people.
After death and a group of people with ulterior motives came in to remonstrate, it took a long time for me to be granted tribute, and the peace talks with Hou Jin never came to fruition.
Someone gave these ignorant people a new term: patriotic thieves. Yun He felt it was a bit harsh, but the truth was right.
The couple talked for a while, but because it was getting late, they stopped talking and returned to the dormitory to prepare for a rest.
When they passed by Mei'er's small house, Yu Minyue went in and talked to Mei'er for a while. Then when they came to the dormitory to prepare for bed, Yu Minyue and Qi Tai said: "Our Mei'er is also thirteen this year.
Well, although there is no rush to get married, you still have to pay more attention to see which family has suitable children."
Qi Tai was reluctant. But in ancient times, marrying a man and marrying a woman was a wise saying, so he only said reluctantly: "I understand."
