Qing Yan

"I beg Your Majesty to add Jing Jiayue to this list." Jing Ziqiao begged respectfully.

As soon as the words came out, not only the officials were surprised, but Yu Wenrui was also puzzled.

"What does Jing Aiqing mean?"

"Your Majesty, Yang Lie is usurping the throne, and Beizheng is eyeing our Great Zhou covetously. A big battle is inevitable. At this time when the country employs people, how can the generations of the Jing family be loyal and good, how can they stand idly by? Yueer has practiced martial arts since childhood, and has inherited His Majesty for many years. I value accompanying you in studying. Since you have received the favor of the king, how can you not share your worries for the king in times of crisis? I implore your majesty to allow her to serve in the Xuanzhen army and be loyal to the country and kill the enemy!"

Yu Wenrui frowned more and more as he listened.

The Jing family has several generations of Zhongliang, this is true; Yue'er has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is familiar with military books, this is also true.Ke Yueer is a girl, how could she do such things like beating and killing?What if something goes wrong?

Yu Gong, she is the only descendant of the Jing family's generation, if there is an accident, I will feel sorry for the British government; Yu private, I treat her like a younger sister, how can I be willing to send her to the battlefield?

The Duke of England's words were impassioned, but who in the court didn't know that Yue Er was the treasure of the Duke of England?From the grandfather to the parents and aunts, everyone loves them like treasures.

In the end what happened?Let the British prince be so determined to send Yueer to the battlefield?

She stared at Jing Ziqiao's face, wanting to see even a trace of what was in his heart.Unexpectedly, Jing Ziqiao kept bowing his head respectfully, and Yu Wenrui's research was fruitless.

In front of the ministers, Yu Wenrui couldn't ask in detail, so she could only say: "I am deeply moved by Aiqing's sincere heart. But this is a major event on the battlefield. Let me think about it and discuss it later."

How could Jing Ziqiao fail to hear that she was trying to shirk?After finally catching such an opportunity, how could he be willing to let it go?Then he bowed and begged again: "Your Majesty! Your heart is so hot! I implore Your Majesty to think of the Jing family's service for the country, and let... let Yue'er go to the border!"

This is weird!

Yu Wenrui stared deeply at Jing Ziqiao's gray hair, and felt that it was only a few days since the fall, and the British Duke seemed to be getting older.What happened in the British government?

She vaguely sensed that this matter was related to herself, but she couldn't guess the specifics.

Before Yu Wenrui could respond, Lu Kun, who had been speechless for a long time, suddenly spoke sullenly: "The British government really has a "loyalty"! Mr. Jing is now working in the Ministry of War, and Mr. Jing has just joined the Ministry of Punishment. Now even the little lady is going to the border to make military contributions? Hehe..."

He was quite self-aware, and he didn't dare to say "Miss Jing is our empress dowager again".

When Jing Ziqiao heard the words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting. He said in a deep voice: "Master Lu, do you want to say that my Jing family is domineering and controlling the government?"

Lu Kun didn't expect him to say this by himself, he was stunned, and then said coldly: "Hey, I don't know what the Englishman thinks. However, if Lu remembers well, the young lady is only 14 years old this year, right? Not yet. And Ji, can you be considered a handsome talent? All the adults can see clearly that the list written by His Majesty is a "young handsome talent"! Or, the British Duke wants to train a female general and marshal for us? Ha ha!"

Jing Ziqiao sneered: "Gan Luo was 12 years old, and Zhou Yu was 13 years old and became the commander of the navy. Is Mr. Lu so ignorant?"

Lu Kun looked up to the sky and laughed: "So what if Gan Luo was a Shangqing at the age of 12? Didn't he become unknown after that? As for Zhou Gongjin worshiping the commander of the navy at the age of 13, it was just a fiction in the storybook. How could the British Duke take it seriously? What's more, whether Gan Luo or Zhou Gongjin, which one is a woman?"

"Shut up!" Yu Wenrui shouted, "I'm still sitting here!"

The two ministers dare not argue any more.

Yu Wenrui has always disliked Lu Kun, and now he is even more angry at what he said.She swept across Lu Kun coldly, and Lu Kun only felt a chill down his spine.

Yu Wenrui then stopped looking at him, but said to everyone: "Isn't Emperor Gaozu a woman? Isn't I a woman? May I ask my lords, since women can be emperors and rule the world, why can't they be civil servants and generals to assist the king? "

Yu Wenrui's eyes flashed across everyone's face one by one, and all the officials lowered their heads slightly unnaturally.The emperor was getting older, and his mind was getting deeper. He was no longer that child who could read his mind just by looking at his eyes and expressions.

Yu Wenrui continued solemnly: "Lao Tzu said that 'Tao begets one, and one life is two', and the "Yi" even said that 'one yin and one yang are called Tao'. In this world, a single yang and a single yin cannot exist for a long time. Think of me Da Zhou, Natural treasures, outstanding people, men are so talented, how can women be inferior? As long as they are given the opportunity, the talents of women will definitely not be inferior to those of men! Hey! I still want to open a women's department to take women!"

The officials were astonished, they looked at each other in blank dismay, all thinking about the same question in their minds: the sky of this great week is going to change...

Seeing that Jing Ziqiao was still about to say something, Yu Wenrui said: "I know the British public's loyalty and patriotism. I will add Yue'er's name to it. As for how to arrange it, whether to let her go to the Xuanzhen Army or not, It’s a long-term plan.”

Jing Ziqiao only let go of his heart. He lifted his official robe, knelt down on his knees, and said: "Your Majesty, understand the painstaking efforts of the old minister!"

Yu Wenrui felt even more weird when he saw such a big gift suddenly, and hurriedly asked the little inner eunuch to help him up.

The ministers dispersed after discussing, and Yu Wenrui left Pei Chonghui alone.

Pei Chonghui looked indifferent, as if he knew this would happen.

"Master, please chat with me." When there were only two of them, Yu Wenrui didn't use the title of the court.

"Okay." Pei Chonghui nodded.

The master and apprentice walked to the imperial garden together.

Pei Chonghui looked up at a tree and said with a smile: "This tree has grown so tall, and its trunk is much thicker than it was seven years ago."

He said, turning to Yu Wenrui: "Your Majesty has grown so tall."

Yu Wenrui grinned: "Master, did you praise me for my progress?"

Pei Chonghui clenched his lips: "It is true that I have grown up, and I am becoming more and more like an emperor."

Yu Wenrui thought of the various situations he had faced with the officials before, and he was also a little proud: "The master taught well, and the apprentice learned well, so naturally he has grown."

"Don't put a high hat on the minister, those emperor's skills are not taught by the minister, you are self-taught."

Yu Wenrui often likes Master Pei's fresh and humorous words, so he also joked: "Isn't that because Master, you have developed my intelligence well?"

Pei Chonghui didn't bother to respond to her flattery, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Yu Wenrui walked side by side with him, and asked with concern: "Pei Xiang's illness, is it all right? What is the illness? Do you want the imperial doctor to take a look at it?"

Pei Chonghui paused, and said calmly: "I am angry at my father's illness."

"Ah?" Yu Wenrui was taken aback, "Master said something that Prime Minister Pei couldn't accept?"

Pei Chonghui smiled wryly: "I haven't said anything yet! He should retire..."

Yu Wenrui raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty really wants to use troops against Beizheng?"

"Yeah, sooner or later."

Pei Chonghui looked complicated, and said slowly: "The matter of war is not good for the people."

"I know. 'Prosperity, the people are suffering; death, the people are suffering', I understand this truth. However, the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded by the Tai | ancestors, and the Emperor Gaozu fought in all directions, and then the world was unified. Emperor Wuzong made a fool of himself, so that Yang Canzhi On the contrary, from Renzong to the first emperor, and then to Zhen, all the thoughts in his heart are the unification of the country, so as to comfort the ancestors..."

"Your Majesty thinks that the country is unified, is it really good?" Pei Chonghui interrupted her and asked.

Yu Wenrui was stunned: "Of course! Which emperor doesn't want to rule the world!"

Pei Chonghui was silent and smiled.

"What does Master want to say?" Yuwen Rui asked curiously.

"If the minister said something outrageous, His Majesty would not punish him, would he?" Pei Chonghui asked with a smile.

Yu Wenrui blinked when he heard that he actually used the words of the emperor and ministers, "Where is the master talking? Am I the one who doesn't listen to advice?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember the first lesson I taught you?"

"I remember, Master said back then that 'the world belongs to the people, and the king is elected by the people. It is the duty of the king to obey the public opinion and make the people live and work in peace and contentment'."

Pei Chonghui nodded appreciatively: "Your Majesty has a good memory. So, what does Your Majesty think of this sentence now?"

Yu Wenrui thought for a while, and said: "I think this is very reasonable. The people of the world are my people, and I should take their lives and work into consideration."

Pei Chonghui sighed secretly when he heard the word "people"——

After all, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty in the feudal era. How could it be possible to ask a king under the feudal system to regard himself as equal to the common people?

It can be seen that nothing is perfect.Even if his fate falls in the mansion of an important minister of the court, even if his official career is smooth and he has been in the fourth rank in his early 30s, and he is a teacher of the emperor with a bright future, he will not be able to realize his political ideals flawlessly.Some things cannot be accomplished in one or two generations.

Pei Chonghui was relieved, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty said it very well. I think that when Beizheng is unified, His Majesty will treat the people of Beizheng well. There is just one thing, Your Majesty must remember."

"Master, please tell me."

"In this world, besides the Dazhou, Beizheng, and Rongdi clans, there is a very large area. There is land, sea, and of course, countries."

late at night.

The supporting hall of Xuanzheng Hall.

"Master, it's the right time, why don't you rest? Be careful that the light is too dark, it hurts your eyes." Shen Quan carefully replaced the lamp with a new candle and covered the lampshade.

Yu Wenrui didn't even raise his head, he was still brushing and approving the memorial: "After reading this pile."

Shen Quan glanced at the half-foot-thick pile of memorials, and secretly complained: How long will this last?

It's strange to say that since the emperor came back from Qinfang Pavilion the day before yesterday, he seemed to be a different person. He went to the court honestly every day, and he was not idle when he went to the court. booklet.Even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager seldom went there except for the daily greetings.

Could it be that the queen mother's punishment that day worked?Shen Quan pondered secretly.

Based on his years of understanding of the emperor, this master is very thoughtful. Will she restrain herself because of punishment?He wouldn't believe it even if Shen Quan was beaten to death!

It's impossible to restrain yourself, I'm afraid that the more you punish, the more vigorous this ancestor will be!

Why is it?

Shen Quan was deeply confused.

Two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Quan felt distressed when he saw that the little emperor was still writing hard, occasionally frowning and studying at the memorial.

"Master, why don't you ask the imperial dining room to bring you some snacks for supper? What do you think you want to order? The servant will order it."

Yu Wenrui frowned even tighter: "Why are you so wordy? What snacks do you eat? Are you going to feed me into a pig? That's all, go and rest! I don't need anyone to serve me here."

Apply for full allowance.

What are you doing?Do not eat or drink but only know how to work hard?Could it be that something evil happened in Qinfang Pavilion?

By the way, you are here, how dare the servants just go to rest like this?Even if you dare, do you have to?

He had no idea here, he only heard the sound of the palace maid picking up the curtain, followed by a gentle voice: "What time is it, why are you still not sleeping? How can you work hard at this moment?"
