great mandate

"That day at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you chose Shen Wuji between Mr. Yu Ge and Shen Wuji. I believe you did not because of Shen Wuji's power, but because of his affection." The emperor let go of Luo Jinyu, looked at him, and slowly Slowly said, "If you were asked to choose between Shen Wuji and Zhen today, would you choose love or loyalty?"

Luo Jinyu didn't think too much, and was about to answer, but the emperor snapped up and said, "I guess you will choose Zhongjun, you are not vulgar, and you have righteousness in your heart, so you only have one answer. Tell me, is my guess right?"

Luo Jinyu said lightly: "Shen Wuji didn't want to offend the emperor. He is different from Cao Guozhong. The emperor is too worried. Therefore, the grassroots don't need to make a choice."

"Cao Guozhong entered the palace when he was young. Maybe he didn't know that he would become like that later. He also advised the emperor at that time and helped the young master eliminate traitors and gain power. You must have heard about the coup d'etat in Chengzong's time. "The emperor said.

Of course Luo Jinyu had heard of it.

Cheng Zong is the younger brother of the late emperor, the only son of the late emperor's father. Although he was born intelligent, he was weak and sick, and he was still young when he succeeded to the throne.On the surface, Chengzong was weak and backed down, but he secretly asked him to organize a group of small eunuchs headed by Cao Guozhong, pretending to have fun with them, but after everything was arranged properly, the regent suddenly attacked when he entered the palace.Seeing that he was doomed, the regent planned to kill Chengzong and took Chengzong hostage. It was Cao Guozhong who saved Chengzong by exchanging his life for his own.

Because of this, Cao Guozhong has been on the rise since then, and has been favored constantly, becoming the No. 1 around Chengzong.

It's just that Chengzong's fate was not good, and he died of illness within a few years. He was not yet an adult at that time and had no children under his knees, so he chose his elder brother to succeed him, that is, the first emperor.At that time, there was also an undercurrent, and the ruling and opposition parties had their own princes. Cao Guozhong relied on Chengzong's trust to get close, and there were many actions from it, so that the first emperor won the position, which is another story.

"Your Majesty, Shen Wuji is not Cao Guozhong, and he will never become Cao Guozhong." Luo Jinyu repeated, his eyes were firm and his tone was determined.

The emperor smiled, and suddenly said: "I heard that you have been in prison for three years and suffered a lot. I thought you were smarter, why are you still so young and energetic, and I dare to talk back like this? Do you know this is disrespectful?"

Luo Jinyu said: "The grass people are just telling the truth. If the emperor doesn't want to listen, you can tell the grass people to shut up. If the emperor asks the grass people to answer, why is it considered disrespectful for the grass people to answer what they think?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not nice to say something, your temperament... that's all, why bother to say something unpleasant, alas. You have the same benefits as you do." He said with a hint of abandonment, "Fish and You can't have both, and you can rest assured of your honesty, but you don't want your honesty, it's also a force."

Luo Jinyu had never met the late emperor, and it was the first time he saw the current emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor was completely different from the majesty and prosperity he had imagined, and he was even a little approachable. closeness.

As for the emperor, his ancestors were not favored in the first place. At the beginning, they sealed off a remote place, where they asked for money but had no money, and no one wanted anyone.For many years, others have fought back and forth, but no one has included his lineage as the target of the fight. It is hopeless, which can be seen.Because of this, his lineage is actually enjoying himself, closing the door and treating himself as a wealthy commoner with no worries about food and clothing, keeping his own place and not thinking too much about it.

It wasn't until this generation that the sky suddenly dropped a pie, and the emperor happily brought his family to the capital, only to realize that he was not as comfortable as in his hometown when he came.After all, in his hometown, the leader can be seen at a glance, and he will die of old age comfortably like his father and grandfather, but in the capital, it seems that it is more difficult to achieve a comfortable life that can lead to the end of his life.

If he couldn't go, he could only bite the bullet and move around.In his heart, he was always an outsider, and all the people who existed in the court before he came, including Yuge Lao, Jun Taiwei, and Shen Wuji, had a subtle and inexplicable gap with him.

Because of this, he is very happy to see Luo Jinyu, a "newcomer" who has not yet become an official, and this person is honest and innocent.

To put it bluntly, at least he was never afraid of Luo Jinyu stabbing him in the back.

The two of them were like this, each had feelings in their hearts, and they got along quite well.

Luo Jinyu got straight to the point: "Forgive the grassroots for speculating on the holy will, but does the emperor want the grassroots to assist the emperor to stabilize the monarchy?"

The emperor was touched and said: "Do you know how long it has been since I heard people speak so directly? Every time those people speak, they always talk at length. They talk about other things, maybe they still hate me in my heart, but I don't always understand, but those are human words. For example, I am afraid that I, the late emperor, and Chengzong will die suddenly, and that the lack of children will cause chaos in the court again, and I want me to be more fortunate in the harem and accept a few concubines. -"

"Your majesty," Luo Jinyu interrupted him, earnestly suggested, "You have a lot to say, and it doesn't have much to do with the important things you want to say. As you said, there are many eyes and ears in the palace. Guess, when Caomin talks to you, it's best not to take too long."

"..." The emperor choked, nodded silently, and said, "You are right, I just want you to assist me."

"That's why the grassroots study." Luo Jinyu said.

The emperor smiled and said, "I know."

Luo Jinyu continued: "But there is one thing that the grassroots want to report to the Holy Majesty."

The emperor said: "You say."

"The Caomin and Shen Wuji have agreed to get married." Luo Jinyu looked into his eyes and said calmly, "If he is really like Cao Guozhong who is cruel to Zhongliang and plays with the government, the Caomin will not show favoritism, but now the Caomin only knows that although he also has some private interests However, there is no hindrance in righteousness. As for some things that are favoritism, Caomin has already dissuaded him from doing it in the future. Therefore, if the emperor still has the intention of rejecting or even eradicating him, Caomin cannot agree with the emperor's actions. Among them Naturally, there are grass people's personal feelings, but it is not all because of it. Even if the grass people are not married to him, it is the same. It would be a great fortune for the grass people to help the emperor achieve a prosperous and holy life, but the grass people do not want to exercise power. The common people live in the society, the government and the people are clear and clear, and the treacherous officials and ministers are eliminated. The grassroots are willing to do the work of dogs and horses, even if they die a hundred times without regret. But if the emperor is no different from Junqi and his ilk, only to consolidate the monarchy for himself and eradicate dissidents, forgive the grassroots for their helplessness."

The emperor's smile gradually faded, he looked at him for a while, and said: "Luo Jinyu, has anyone ever told you that you don't know good from bad?"

But without waiting for Luo Jinyu to answer, he said, "I must have asked a nonsense question, and many people must have said that to you."

Luo Jinyu said: "That's not true. Some people have said that about me, but there are only a few people."

The emperor said coldly: "There are not many people who say it in front of you, but it doesn't mean that there are not many people who say it behind your back."

"Don't say it in person, but discuss right and wrong behind the scenes. Caomin thinks it's okay not to listen to what this kind of person says." Luo Jinyu said calmly, "What's more, what is 'good' and what is 'evil'? Everything you know is 'good', but if you don't agree with what other people think, so it is 'bad', then the so-called 'good or bad', knowledge or not knowledge, it doesn't matter."

"You—" the emperor pointed at him, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he tossed his sleeves and said angrily, "I also thought that Jun Ruoguang and the others were too narrow-minded, and they had to put you to death like that. Now it seems that, You must have really pissed them off at the time. You are always like this to me, who knows what you said to them. "

Luo Jinyu didn't speak.

He was actually a little innocent, because he had said harsh words to Jun Ruoguang and the others back then, but when he spoke to the emperor just now, he felt that they were sincere and sincere words, and he didn't know why the emperor suddenly became angry.

The emperor was sullen for a while, seeing Luo Jinyu standing there like a wooden stake, neither apologizing nor acquiescing, he asked: "Did Shen Wuji teach you the rules?"

Luo Jinyu asked blankly, "What?"

"You provoked Longyan to be furious, you should apologize." The emperor said.

Luo Jinyu said "Oh", and then knelt down, but she didn't panic, she just said sincerely: "It's the grass people's fault for not following the rules and offending the Holy Spirit for the first time."

The emperor suddenly felt that he was very immature to be so angry with this wooden stake, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, get up."

Luo Jinyu got up.

Just when the emperor was about to speak magnanimously, Luo Jinyu asked: "Dare to ask the emperor, what sentence did the grassroots offend Longyan?"

"..." the emperor asked, "what do you want to do?"

Luo Jinyu couldn't be more sincere and authentic: "Use it for self-reflection, if you know a mistake, correct it, and never repeat it again."

emperor:"……"

He was at a loss for words for a while, and stopped talking.

It can't be said, because Luo Jinyu just said that he doesn't want to help him gain power, is he angry?

This piece of wood... Who would be able to say such a thing immediately when encountering such a good thing?Even if you really don't want to, don't say it!Who is in front of me?The uncle who buys vegetables in the vegetable market?

The emperor resentfully said vaguely, "It's good that you know your mistake."

Luo Jinyu said: "Since the emperor said that the grass-roots people were wrong, he should tell the grass-roots people what was wrong, so that it can be called right and wrong. If you only say that the grass-people are wrong, but don't tell the grass-people where they are wrong, isn't it vague and perfunctory? Being ignorant and ignorant, it is inevitable to speculate in your heart? No one should do this behavior, from the highest to the highest level, or down to the hundreds of officials, otherwise, the laws and regulations will be blurred and the situation will be unclear.

emperor:"………………"

The corner of his mouth twitched, he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Luo Jinyu said solemnly: "Therefore, please tell the emperor, where did the Caomin just go wrong."

"..." The emperor was silent for a moment, and said, "You are right, it is my fault."

Luo Jinyu frowned and was puzzled.

The emperor held his forehead with one hand, got up and said: "I shouldn't rely on myself as the emperor, and if I disagree with you, I should say that you are wrong."

Luo Jinyu didn't speak.

The emperor said again: "I was only afraid of Cao's misfortune in the past, so I took precautions against Shen Wuji. You also said that if he repeats Cao Guozhong's mistakes, you, Luo Jinyu, will be the first to destroy relatives righteously. I believe you. I don't mean to exercise power, Although I haven't been cultivated as a monarch since I was a child, I have no ambitions, but now that I am in this position, I want to do this. I want to make some achievements, not to say that I can have the rule of Wenjing, and I don't want to say that I can create Zhenguan Shengshi, at least, from future generations, I am a wise king, can you understand what I mean?"

Luo Jinyu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Jun Ruoguang's matter will inevitably make you feel aggrieved for a while, but it will last forever." The emperor comforted, "And your case should be overturned or overturned."

"Caomin doesn't care about these things," Luo Jinyu lowered his eyes, "Caomin reversed the case because Shen Wuji bent the law for his own benefit. He did something wrong in this matter. Only by reversing the verdict can the Caomin reduce his guilt."

"One family doesn't talk about two families, so don't hold on to this matter. I have made an agreement with Jun Qi, and we each take a step back. We gave him face, and he has to help Shen Wuji with this matter. Cover it up." Seeing Luo Jinyu frowning again, the emperor panicked, fearing that he would make another long speech, and his life might be ruined, so he hurriedly said, "I know what you want to say, but it's expedient! I'm private Punish Shen Wuji! Definitely!"

Luo Jinyu didn't speak.

The emperor gasped, and thought to himself that this Luo Jinyu looked so affectionate with Shen Wuji, why did Shen Wuji fall in love in the blink of an eye?Why is this person so terrifying?

……

Shen Wuji waited outside the hall for a long time, finally saw the door opened, Luo Jinyu came out from inside, rushed to meet him, before he could speak, Luo Jinyu said: "The emperor let you in."

"What about you?" Shen Wuji asked.

Luo Jinyu said: "He said that I can wait for you outside, and he has something to say to you, so he will let you go back with me."

Shen Wuji nodded: "Well, you can enjoy the scenery here, if it's cold, go to the carriage and wait for our house." Looking at Zhan Qingshui, he said, "Take good care of him, ask someone to serve tea and bring some food .”

Zhan Qingshui nodded.

Shen Wuji just entered the hall, walked all the way to the emperor, saluted, but saw the emperor staring at him for a long time with an extremely delicate expression, he laughed along with him, and said: "Luo Jinyu faced the saint for the first time, but there is something impolite ?”

The emperor said: "I heard from him that you are going to marry him."

Shen Wuji shyly said: "It's also something that was said not long ago, it hasn't been decided yet, so I haven't had time to report it to you."

"It's not important." The emperor said, "I originally wanted to ask him what he thought, but now, I want to know what you think more."

Shen Wuji was startled: "The servant is stupid, I don't know what the emperor means?"

The emperor hesitated to speak, and said: "You haven't read a book since you were a child, I told you, maybe you don't understand."

Shen Wuji became more and more confused.

The emperor let out a long sigh.

The author has something to say: it is a mood that can only be understood by those who have been scumbags.Of course, Eunuch Shen, who did not go to school, experienced it briefly when his novels were confiscated.If we don't consider the mood of the future prince, do you think the name Luo Taifu sounds good? (Children should start cheating on [狗头] from the time they were not born.)
