over ten thousand people

In the imperial palace during the day, it is not easy to do something more than kiss; what's more, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, so there are still serious things to do.Therefore, before lunch time, Xie Jingyu resigned.

In the afternoon, the two princes, Yongzhi and Yongmeng, were arranged.Yongzhi thanked Zhen for his kindness on behalf of the other princes, and then withdrew after a while; and then Yongmeng - different from the other brothers, I really have something for him to do.

First, in this year's spring examination, the students were selected in an eclectic manner.Eclectic means not lowering requirements, but focusing on expertise, and it is best to select talents suitable for vacant positions.

Second, in cooperation with Du Jianzhi of the Ministry of Rites, when collecting ancient books from various places to enrich the Hongwen Museum, we also paid attention to the investigation of folk elites, and the scope was not limited to the ability of documents.If necessary, we can also cooperate with the Ministry of Industry and others to investigate together.

Third, jointly inspect officials with Yushitai and Dali Temple to check whether officials are engaging in malpractice for personal gain, and strictly conduct the year-end assessment of the Ministry of Officials.Especially the latter item, you must not release water on the princes because of brotherhood.

The first two Yongmengs should be fast.Hearing the last item, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The officials are really capable of offending people. Now I know why my colleagues pushed me to do this."

Isn't that so?To rate the prince's actual performance in office, most people can't bear to think about it.It is estimated that Song Yuandao, the Shangshu, is not willing to accept the hot potato, and would like to transfer it to Yongmeng!

I can't help but smile. "Let me tell you, this is everyone's trust in you, fourth brother."

"Your Majesty is very right." Yong Meng cupped his hands obediently, "I will definitely implement His Majesty's meaning one by one."

I looked at the expression on his face, and added: "Besides, Second Brother and the others may not obey others, but they will definitely obey Fourth Brother."

Yong Meng showed a puzzled expression. "What do you mean by His Majesty's words?"

I then roughly summed up what Yongzhi said to me in Tangquan Palace.At the end, I laughed and said: "Since the second brother said that the fourth brother was different from a young age, I took it for granted that these matters must be difficult for the fourth brother."

"Second brother is really overrated." Yong Meng hastily declined politely, "As for things that can't be difficult... With His Majesty on top, he will definitely give advice to my ministers."

It's really talking, I can't help but think.I deliberately mentioned Yongzhi's words just to see Yongmeng's reaction.But just like before, Yongmeng was still perfect without any flaws.If I hadn't met the divine master of Yongmeng in my ancestral temple, maybe I would have feared him so much.

But even so, things five or sixty years later cannot fully represent the present.

"That's not good. I don't know about the "Houji Agricultural Book"."

This topic has already topped the hot headlines in Xingjing City, and everyone wants to mention it.Although others may think of other meanings when they hear this, I feel that since Yongmeng can offer a book publicly, he must be ready to deal with various situations.The easiest way is to practice Tai Chi calmly, and talk about it lightly...

Yong Meng really paused for a moment.But when he spoke again, he didn't take the way I thought. "Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth?"

"Fourth brother said this, because everyone wants to hear the truth." I laughed again, but I was not very sure in my heart-what's the situation today?Could it be that Yongmeng just waited for a chance to meet me alone to confess?After all, if Yongmeng didn't have this plan, he could have kept "Houji Nongshu" in his hands?

As it turns out, I was right.Because Yongmeng opened his mouth and said: ""Houji Nongshu", the minister is going to dedicate it to the father."

This……

Even if I wanted to pretend to be calm, both of them knew it was impossible——

It has only been five years since I came to the throne. Yongmeng started to collect "Houji Agricultural Book" nearly ten years ago. Looking back from the time, it is true that he started when his father was still in power.

This is not the most critical part; the most critical part is the timing.Whether it was eight years ago or nine years ago, the prince at that time was still the elder brother of the prince, and he was still a brother of the prince who was lingering in bed.

Such a sensitive point, even if the ministers could think that Yongmeng's move might be intended for the throne, they never mentioned it; but Yongmeng not only mentioned it, but also pointed out that he was planning to dedicate it to his father...

"Fourth brother." I said, with a slight warning.If he doesn't say anything, I will have to deal with him; and if he doesn't say anything, then I can pretend not to know on the surface—to be honest, even if I don't fully trust him, I don't want to punish him for treason the extent of the crime.

Yongmeng is a smart person, so he naturally knew that what I called him at this time was the ladder for him. "But of course, it didn't happen." He continued, seemingly not worried about himself at all, "There is certainly a reason why the collection was not completed; but I know, and His Majesty also knows, what the real reason is."

If I still can't see that Yongmeng is going to block the big one at this time, I don't need to be emperor anymore. "Fourth brother, you are in danger." Zhen sighed slightly.

Hearing this, Yong Meng actually smiled slightly. "I thought it was a drudgery from the bottom of the pot."

A few steps away, the eyes of the two met directly.At this moment, countless possibilities related to this flashed through my mind-whether it is a risky operation or a bottom line, partly depends on his statement, and ultimately depends on my trust. "Why now?"

"If your majesty wants to hear lies, it is because your majesty ordered ministers to serve as servants of the Ministry of Officials; if your majesty wants to hear the truth, it is because of the New Year's Eve feast."

I squinted imperceptibly.Although Yongmeng said that one is true and the other is false, but these two sentences are both true and essentially the same - the New Year's Eve feast, I collected all the military power in the world, and sat firmly on the throne; it is precisely because I have been sure of this for a long time , will agree to let the princes serve as real power officials. "Wei Wang is so intelligent, could it be that he didn't expect that after hearing your words, I might become more and more afraid?"

Hearing the word "Wei Wang", a gloomy light flashed in Yongmeng's eyes. "From Xie Xiang to Murong Qi to Songren Songzan, His Majesty has always treated his ministers with kindness and virtue. Therefore, I think that His Majesty will definitely not investigate the mistakes I have made."

This statement sounds reasonable at first glance, but it is not enough at the moment. "Did King Wei ever think that you are different from all three of them?" I had to remind him.What's more, if Songren Songzan is as honest and obedient as he said, it's all right; if there is any opposition, he will definitely die!

"Of course I know about it." Yong Meng said, with a rare pause, "Your Majesty always claims that your ministers are smart, but His Majesty himself is more skilled. Since this is the case, I think it's better not to go around in circles with Your Majesty. It's not very good for Your Majesty, so There is no benefit for the minister."

I can't help raising my eyebrows.This is true - if I talk to him forever through a mask, my suspicion will not go away, and he may not get a good death. "But since you admit that you have such intentions, I have to worry, in case there is any flaw that you see..." I didn't continue, but shook my head in embarrassment, "Maybe it's better to act first Better, what does King Wei say?"

Although my tone is flat, the content of the words is completely opposite, basically a threat.Yong Meng didn't panic, he just stared at me, and asked softly after a long while: "Will your majesty leave this opening for the minister?"

I don't need to answer this kind of question at all.

Yong Meng obviously also knew that he asked a question with an obvious answer. "Your Majesty will not, and I also think so." He bowed again, "Since this is the case, I am willing to serve the country and encourage His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will make it happen."

For a while, Zhen didn't speak, and Yongmeng kept that posture, completely motionless.After about half a cup of tea, I asked: "Wei Wang is sure that I will not deal with you, right?"

Yong Meng shook his head. "I just know that now is the time for the court to employ people."

He almost said "Because I'm still useful to His Majesty", and I couldn't ask any more questions.Get rid of the possible, bad parts, and the benefits are indeed obvious. "Today's matter, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who dares to do it." I sighed a little, "Wei Wang is indeed different in every way."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Yong Mengfu raised his head and looked at me again, "It doesn't matter whether Your Majesty believes it or not, I do believe that Your Majesty is stronger than me."

The meaning of these words is vague, and I can't help but wonder what he thinks I am better than him.Poems and songs are absolutely impossible, and his appearance and demeanor are [-]% inferior. The rest... Is he referring specifically to plotting, or is he referring to being the emperor?

Of course, Yongmeng has the possibility of restraining his mind and becoming a loyal minister from then on, and also has the possibility of pretending to be a snake, but actually playing tricks.But as the old saying goes, real power is in hand, I want to see what waves he can make.

"Since the king of Wei understands, that would be great." Zhen said again, "Everything is complicated, so it's hard work for the king of Wei."

It may indeed be more suitable for the relationship between me and Yongmeng to speak out thoroughly, and I won't have to think hard about how to communicate with him in the future.But after a few hours of relaxation, someone came forward to warn me, asking me to be wary of Yongmeng's too good interpersonal relationship in the court.

This person is obviously not Xie Jingyu, but Zhou Bubi.

"You really..." I was almost speechless.Last time I had a problem with Xie Jingyu, this time I have a problem with Yong Meng, and both of them are on the cusp—why am I surrounded by people who are not afraid of death? "Do you still remember what you said to me before?" If I remember correctly, Zhou Sheren, when you first arrived at Zhongshu Province, you were still helping Yongmeng!The proposal to give real power to the prince was also proposed by you!

"Of course I remember. But this time and that time; I didn't expect at that time that His Royal Highness Wei Wang has such a wide range of friends." Speaking of this, Zhou Bubi seemed a little ashamed.

I don't care about whether he regrets going to Yongmeng's banquet at the moment. "Don't you think it's too late now?"

"As long as Your Majesty takes precautions, it's not too late." Zhou Bubi said immediately, "I just thought that no matter what your Highnesses are, you must not surpass Your Majesty."

Actually, I understand what Zhou Bubi means.Times have changed, the past and the present are two different things.Therefore, Zhou Bubi stood in Yongmeng before, but now it is reversed.To be more precise, his position has not changed - as he said, he has been trying to consider interests from my point of view; but the information he has is not as much as mine, and his judgment inevitably deviates from mine.

Thinking about it this way, I am not as angry as I was when I first heard it. "It's normal for the officials of the DPRK and China to make friends; if someone oversteps, I will know about it." When I said this, I had already begun to think about how to train Zhou Bubi to Zhong Shuling.The higher the level, the wider the scope of understanding, the more useful the suggestions...

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhou Bubi said immediately, and then carefully looked at Zhen's face. "Your Majesty, you..." He suddenly hesitated.

"Speak up if you have something to say." I ordered.He said things that might lose his head without hesitation, so why hesitate?

Zhou Bubi then said: "Your Majesty, why do you feel that Your Majesty's lips are a little different than before?"

This topic turned so quickly that I couldn't believe it, so I touched it subconsciously. "What's wrong?"

"It seems to be a little swollen." Zhou Bubi said seriously, "Did your majesty eat something that you seldom eat on weekdays? I heard that this matter can be big or small, and it may be life-threatening if it gets too big. Do you want to let Shang Shi eat?" Do you want to check the recipe?"

Although the term food allergy did not exist at this time, I guess Zhou Bubi was talking about it.The problem is, I'm not allergic to food at all!Thinking of Xie Jingyu's stormy kiss...

"Maybe it's wasabi." I was so embarrassed that I forced myself to lie.

Zhou Bubi suddenly realized. "That's too much for me to worry about."

He then withdrew.I was alone in the room staring at the air, grinding my teeth secretly - I didn't know to remind me after the kiss, Xie Jingyu is a jerk!
