Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

Ning Yun smiled slightly, and arched his eyebrows. The people here are all smart people, not to mention slick, but almost to that level.

So there are a lot of words that are not worth talking about.

The three of them didn't stay in the side hall for long, when sister Meng Jiachen ran over, apparently driven over.

Hui Jing hadn't entered the door when she heard her voice, "Then if the fight really started, wouldn't you be able to go to Siam?" There was a hint of gloating in her tone.

Meng Jiachen said, "We'll talk about it after the fight."

She kept things simple.

"Do you really think Siam is still Siam, Tianzhu or Tianzhu?" Hui Jing obviously had a problem with Meng Jiachen's words, "By then, it will all be the Jin Dynasty."

Meng Jiachen yelled, "Of course it won't be like this. If we act like this, what's the difference between us and Taixi? Although the queen mother is interested in the south, if she takes this opportunity to annex and slap her, wouldn't it make people laugh at her? "

The people in the house listened attentively.

Lin Yuzhen couldn't hold back her palms, and laughed, her almond eyes were like a crescent moon, and she bent her eyebrows to look at Daiyu, "After all, he is the good student you handed over."

For an emperor, Meng Jiachen's moral bottom line is... a bit high.

Daiyu closed the tea bowl, gently put it aside, stared at Lin Yuzhen, but was not in a hurry to speak for a while.

There were still voices coming from outside the house.

"Then tell me, what opportunity should I look for?" Hui Jing burst out laughing, "The way you talk is... so funny."

Meng Jiachen's voice was calm, not in a hurry or annoyed. At this time, the difference between the sisters could be seen, "If it were me, I would wait for Tianzhu to become a vassal in order to borrow troops, and at the same time deploy Siamese troops. If I want to move Siam, I will pretend to be Siamese Luo and Taixi have an affair, and when the time comes, send people to spread the news. I don’t need to tell you how much the southern countries hate Taixi, but you also know that there is no need for us to do anything at that time. Their only way out is to rely on us, and they can kill two birds with one stone.”

The smile on Lin Yuzhen's face froze.

Daiyu shook her head, "This policy is not for a big country."

Ning Yun obviously disagreed with this point of view, "There is a distinction between a gentleman and a villain when doing things in the court, but in the outside world, it can only be beneficial to us or harmful to us."

"During the Tang Dynasty, all nations came to court. Didn't the Tang Dynasty have a prosperous world and benefit the world at the same time? To take a step back, the Ming Dynasty also came to ministers from all nations, but they didn't talk about encroaching on the weak." Daiyu's beautiful eyebrows screwed up.

Ning Yun folded his hands, turned to look at Daiyu and said: "The world was peaceful that day, and now Thailand and the West and even the whole of Europe are aggressively expanding and militarizing. If we don't participate in it, in the future our descendants will not be as powerful as today. The surrounding area is encroached upon by Europe, forming a siege, so what's the use of having such a false name?"

"Besides, the Tang Dynasty's softness to the outside world was not the cause of the Song Dynasty's Liao, Jin and Yuan disasters?"

What Ning Yun said was really sharp.

She didn't think it was necessary to create a high-ranking image. Of course, her opinion had been rejected many times by Feng Jiwen and others since she was in Guochao.

In Feng Jiwen's words: "Taixi is Taixi, the country's dynasty is the country's dynasty, Taixi is a gang of barbarians, and our country's dynasty is a century-old state. It respects Confucianism and worships education. It has always been that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. How can it be In the same breath as a remote island nation?"

But in the end, the country still sent troops to assist Siam and other places.

According to Ning Yun's understanding of this matter, the reason most likely is the so-called big country's face problem-because in the end the country did not annex Siam and other places.

Of course, this is a palliative, not a permanent solution. In the end, Taixi annexed Malay.

She didn't know what happened after that.

Because this was basically the last major event before her death. She was getting older and stayed in the mansion for a long time. It was impossible to run to Qianqing Palace and Yonghe Palace every day.

To be honest, she didn't know what to do.

In the short term, Huairou will do more harm than embezzlement, but in the long run...she won't live to be a few hundred years old, and she can't see why.

Daiyu thought for a while, but said: "Have you not thought about the problem of uprising? If you only use force to suppress it, there will be a rebound situation. How to deal with it at that time, have you thought about it?"

Ning Yun spread his hands, motioning for Daiyu to continue talking.

"And if you really want to make these countries surrender, even if you win, who can be the governor?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows elegantly, "That person must have been to these places, know the customs of these places, and be able to Respect the places that are different from us, look around, can you single out such a person?"

"Besides, wherever the horse's hoof passes, it is the country's territory. After all, it was the work of the gang."

Ning Yun directly intercepted the main point, "In the end, the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty."

Daiyu looked at Ning Yun with a calm expression, "There is no definite answer to this question, is there?"

No one can survive hundreds of years.

Without seeing the future direction, naturally there is no way to say that I am right.

Ning Yun smiled, "It's true that we can't live for hundreds of years." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Lin Yuzhen, who was covering her mouth and smiling, pointing to the door.

As soon as the two looked up, they saw the two bear children staring at them dumbfounded.

Meng Jiachen was the first to come back to his senses, and said with a playful smile: "Sir, you can teach me the Ming Sutra."

She broke the deadlock with an irrelevant remark.

Daiyu said with a smile, "I can't bear to read these secular articles, and I don't want to read them. I'm afraid they can't teach Mingjing."

"It's a pity that sir can't take the imperial examination." Meng Jiachen always said whatever he thought.

Daiyu said: "Even if I am allowed to take the imperial examination, I may not be able to take it." She thought for a while, "Well, maybe I will go to take an examination of Tanhua, compile books in Hanlin, enjoy plum blossoms in winter, and sing with one or two friends in spring." The poem is right, let’s go spring together, set up a manor in Xishan in autumn, enjoy the maple leaves, that’s it.”

"..." Meng Jiachen couldn't find anything to say for a while.

Didn't you say that you have learned a lot of books and dedicated them to the emperor's family?

She was instilled with this kind of thinking by the master who explained the scriptures since she was a child.

But, but, this.

Daiyu's answer is obviously off topic.

After passing the exam, I don't want to be an official or run a business. Instead, I go to enjoy flowers, go outing, and recite poems...

However, Meng Jiachen was not surprised. It was not for nothing that the queen mother relied heavily on Daiyu and let go of all powers. Naturally, she was absolutely sure that Daiyu would not pose a threat to the entire imperial power. The most direct evidence was that she did not The ambition of being an emperor has no desire for power.

As for Shi Ningyun, Queen Wei was wooing her parents while controlling her parents, and even threw Shi Ding to the south of the Yangtze River. It was easy to see that Queen Wei was not very relieved about Shi Ningyun.

Shi Ningyun has ambitions, although he is suppressed to the extreme, or he may not even be aware of it, but this kind of power desire and insecurity engraved in his bones, for Meng Jiachen, who was born in the royal family, is a closed door. The eyes can detect it—the royal children are still very sensitive to such things.

Meng Jiachen can subconsciously and intuitively guess who is ambitious, who is not, and how far his ambition is maximized.

For example, Huijing sometimes has a bad mouth and hates it very much, but Huijing's biggest wish is to marry a good family and compare them to others. It's not interesting at all about the throne.

So sometimes Meng Jiachen will consciously give in, because it is a trivial matter.

In fact, she also admired Shi Ningyun very much.

Because there are too few ambitious women, and more of them stop at the step of husband and son.

She is an ambitious princess, or not at the beginning, but now she has been cultivated by the guard to be ambitious. The kind of power that flows in the royal blood and has not diminished since the ancestors for hundreds of years* is vividly reflected in her. Jiachen knew that if she stood on the Golden Luan Hall one day, what she wanted was not the ministers from all kingdoms, but the real, real and universal world, could it be the land of the king.

So in addition to a talented but unambitious gentleman, he also needs a confidant who is equally ambitious.

Sometimes, the emperor just needs to use some ambitious ministers, so as not to be complacent, but the degree of this ambition is something that each emperor spends his life trying to figure out and test.

The ones who succeed at this level are the loyal ministers and wise rulers, and the ones who fail are the loyal ministers and faint rulers.

And Shi Ningyun also saw this, and knew that the royal family was also very afraid of her, so he found a balance between the empress dowager's meritorious deeds, so that the queen had to use her even if she didn't use it, and had to win over her if she didn't. .

Naturally, Meng Jiachen also knew that if the stepmother really made her the emperor in the future, even if her subjective thoughts were not used, objectively speaking, besides Lin Yuzhen, these two people must be used. For the faction of pure ministers, Shi Ningyun directly represented the meritorious family, and the power of the four princes and eight princes had to be used out of balance.

And the most subtle thing is that these two are women, and sometimes they think in opposite directions.

Just like the most quarrelsome issue of sailing or sharing, there are two factions.

Sensing Huijing's probing gaze, Meng Jiachen turned his face sideways, leaned closer with a smile, pulled Daiyu and said coquettishly, "Sir, I can write long poems now."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Then I'll come to test you." She was a little surprised when she said that, because Meng Jiachen was not very good at composing poems, so she pointed at a piece of writing at random, which said "Mingjingtai", "How do you Read this poem?"

Stand of bright mirror—there is no bodhi tree, and the bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where does the dust come from?

This is not considered to be difficult, because this is a Buddhist theory, and it is vague, so it can be related to anything, from any angle, even if it is said from the source of the allusion, it is not considered not suitable.

For example, why should it be passed on to this little monk.

Daiyu knew how much Meng Jiachen weighed, so there was no limit to the rhyme at all. In addition, Queen Wei also said that day, you don't have to stick to composing poems and pairs, just know the elegant things.

"Hmm..." Meng Jiachen wasn't prepared at all, but just said something casually, and the result was good, so he was caught off guard.

After a long time, Meng Jiachen said: "There is no need for a dictionary for nothingness."

Daiyu shook her head, this is really digressing, "It's not good, but it's okay, what about the second half of the sentence?"

"If you digress from the topic, it's easy to wait." Meng Jiachen twitched his head and came up with this sentence.

Huijing smiled shamelessly.

Daiyu relieved her embarrassment with a cough and covered her smile.

Really speak her heart.

Lin Yuzhen coughed, Ning Yun really couldn't swallow the tea in his mouth, wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, wanted to spit out the tea but was embarrassed, and his expression was extremely tangled.

This poem can...

"Princess Zhaohui recites a famous chapter, it's better to hang the southeast branch by yourself." Hui Jing laughed and joked with her sister, "Didn't the master tell you about your Mingjing by digging a thousand miles away? Why don't I remember such an allusion?"

Meng Jiachen rolled Huijing's eyes, and revealed Huijing's shortcomings, "If you know it, you know it. Who made Mulan's household weaving? You have the nerve to say me."

"It's over, I won't recite Mulan's resignation." Lin Yuzhen said jokingly, "What's the previous sentence about?"

"I don't know, I don't know, Mulan is a household weaving." Ning Yun spit water into the handkerchief secretly, and then said the words with a smile.

Hui Jing also exposed Meng Jiachen's shortcomings, "Who said that the Pengmen was opened for the king, and no one knew that it was litchi?"

The palace man couldn't help but secretly smiled.

Daiyu didn't know what to say.

"I don't know how to recite poems anymore." Lin Yuzhen smiled wryly, because she couldn't remember what the serious previous and next sentences were. "It's a good thing I don't have to take the imperial examination, otherwise I'd be embarrassed."

The author has something to say:
