Chang'an Youth Tour

Because of the conversation with Helian, Rong Hao almost missed the time when the palace gate was locked.Fortunately, the guards at the palace gate were also familiar with him, and they knew that they had to wait for "Master Rong" to come back, otherwise he would ask him to open the door even if it was locked.

Of course, acting like this is considered insolent, and it may affect the image of the Eastern Palace.But compared to the dark clouds hanging over his head, this arrogance is nothing.

He hurried back to the East Palace, and when he arrived at Sihong Hall, he was about to fall apart, and his face was frozen to death in the cold wind.While entering the door, he took off the white fox cloak, lay down on the smoker cage, and waited for the maid to bring tea.Who knew that there was a person coming out of the smoker cage, which surprised him.

"You're finally back." Yun Lan served tea and snacks, and said, "Xiaoyan has been waiting for you for a long time, and fell asleep three times."

The bones of Rong Hao's whole body were loose, and he didn't care about looking good, he was frowning and trying to make himself more comfortable, when Yan Junyu over there cleverly came over and squeezed his shoulders.It's a pity that people who practice martial arts are really indifferent, pinched Rong Hao twice and screamed: "Don't say goodbye, little ancestor, don't bother you, just say what you want, please forgive me."

Yan Junyu was not discouraged after being hit, knowing that Rong Hao was afraid of pain and delicate, so he restrained his strength a little, even though Rong Hao was still talking strange things, but being pinched twice seemed to feel a lot more comfortable.He began to command him: "Point this way, hit the young master's waist, riding a horse every day, the waist will break."

Although Rong Hao looks very energetic from running around all day long, he actually lost a lot of weight as soon as he started. In the past, when Ao Ji and Yu Yanran were around, there were people who shared the burden. Now he is the hardest one in the Eastern Palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a heavy burden on our shoulders.

However, while he was comfortable, he was still a little guilty about instigating Yan Junyu to beat himself on the waist, so he asked Yun Lan while drinking tea, "Where is Your Highness? Are you still taking care of the sick?"

It's no wonder that Yong Hanhai and his group of veterans are still clinging to Emperor Qingde's legs and don't let go. It's true that the relationship between father and son is the most important. Emperor Qingde has ten thousand ways to suppress the East Palace. Leaving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Yonggan Palace will not be able to return to the East Palace every day.

"Your Highness will be in Yonggan Hall for the next two days." Yun Lan said lightly, "Xiaoyan is waiting for you to explain the tactics to him, so don't keep interrupting."

In fact, when Rong Hao saw Yan Junyu like this, he knew what he was waiting for. This little fool had also been immersed in the Eastern Palace for more than half a year. Let Rong Hao come back and read the book to him.Compared with instigating Xiaoyan to beat his waist and being discovered by His Royal Highness, Rong Hao is more afraid of being caught by His Highness when he analyzes Xiaoyan's tactics.As soon as Yun Lan said this, he knew that this time he had the tacit approval and even encouragement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, he ran outside for a day in the cold wind, and when he came back, he was warmed by the warmth of the silver charcoal in the smoker cage, drank hot tea, and was kneaded by Yan Junyu. He felt a little lazy , looked at Yan Junyu's expectant eyes, and said, "I can only ask one question."

Yan Junyu's eyes lit up immediately, after thinking for a while, he asked, "Why are you so interested in Jiangnan recently?"

They say he is stupid, but he is also clever.Just pretending to be stupid, I guess I have heard a lot in my heart.He also vaguely knows what Rong Hao is busy with recently, so this question hits the nail on the head.After hearing this, Rong Hao said with a smile: "Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, so it's nothing to worry about."

Yan Junyu immediately quit, and asked: "But why does Ye Taifu's study of politics have anything to do with Jiangnan? Why did you go to Luo Heng again?"

If he said "this is another question" at this time, Xiaoyan's disappointed expression must be very nice.However, although Rong Hao didn't have the perspective of a parent to Yan Junyu like Ao Ji, he could be regarded as a boy he had taught himself.This guy usually keeps silent, but he listens to the news a lot, even Mrs. Ye knows about Xuezheng.As for Luo Heng's matter, it was probably the boy named Li Yu who revealed it to him.Yan Junyu usually had a good time with the eunuchs, so he was well-informed.

With such a mood, Rong Hao couldn't help boasting: "Xiaoyan is quite smart. But this matter has to be discussed separately. First of all, you have to know the importance of Jiangnan..."

"I know that the south of the Yangtze River is rich and rich. They can collect taxes for military expenses, pay food, and produce talents."

Rong Hao smiled.

"These are trivial things. The most powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River are the gentry. They have been educated for generations, and the Confucian scholars are the most scolding. This time, it caused a lot of trouble for the Holy Majesty, especially the case of Li Daoyong. Secondly, because the south of the Yangtze River is rich and peaceful. In one corner, unlike the people in the frontier who have generations of hatred with the Hu people, the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are all over the country, and they are intertwined with the gentry behind them. Once the war spreads, it will affect the business, so they have always been the main and not the main war. Connivance. The Holy Majesty also felt the same way, so he was caught off guard this time, does Xiaoyan still remember Mu Chaoran, the servant of the criminal department when Hulishe killed Manzhu?"

"Remember." Yan Junyu said hastily: "He argued hard, and Huli She must be sentenced for murdering good people."

"Mu Chaoran is the youngest official with the most potential in the Jiangnan faction. It was a dark move by us. At that time, the Holy One thought he was just an accident, because Jiangnan has hardly had a main combat faction in the past hundred years. Later, the scholars became more and more troublesome. Yue Ji discovered that all the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have turned to His Highness. Jiangnan has not had a champion in more than ten years. Although they are rich, they also want to pursue power in the court. His Highness is the heir. They are willing to join the main battle to change their future. You Seeing that Mu Fengju is obviously a new scholar and a popular candidate for the champion, but he does not avoid suspicion at all. He is not afraid of affecting his reputation by attacking the Lord Peace faction like this. He has already prepared to give up the opportunity of this spring. When the time comes, the emperor will test It is dangerous to choose him as the No. [-] scholar. But His Highness is like the rising sun, and the future will be long, and he and the Jiangnan faction will be compensated."

It is said that Ao Ji taught Junyu that parents love their children, and he has far-reaching plans for it.Rong Hao's words can be regarded as well-intentioned, afraid that he would not understand, so he broke them apart and explained them in detail.He didn't care about the colliding between words - he compared His Highness the Crown Prince to the rising sun, so who is the setting sun?

But Yan Junyu still didn't understand: "Why did the Jiangnan faction dare to be so bold? Aren't they afraid of being punished by the Holy One?"

Rong Hao smiled.

"This is why it is said that governing the world with Confucianism is just a way to fool the people. According to Confucianism, the emperor should be diligent in governing and loving the people, and accept advice with an open mind. The ministers should be loyal to the emperor and the country, and devote themselves to it. Fu. But if the emperor is stupid, what should the courtiers do? Confucianism has only one way of remonstrance. Which courtier do you think will die in the court? They have their own methods."

"The common people listen to the stories of Romance, and feel that the emperor is supremely powerful. He wants to kill whoever he wants to kill. The small talk says to punish the crime. How can he be punished if there is no crime? Like the emperor sent Mu Chaoran, there were people kneeling in the court to persuade him, and there were historians staring at him. .Kill Mu Chaoran, and a new servant of the Ministry of Punishment will come out. You can’t kill the Jiangnan faction completely. Wouldn’t that become a muddleheaded emperor? Since ancient times, there are many ways for ministers to resist passively I went. In the late years of the previous dynasty, eunuchs were used to rule the country, but they still couldn’t extract money from Jiangnan, and even the military expenses had to be raised by concubines selling jewelry. But within a few years, after the establishment of the country, all the gentry in Jiangnan came out to welcome them, treasures The piles are like mountains, and the gold is like iron and pearls are like mud. To whom should I tell the wrongs of the former emperor?"

Yan Junyu was stunned when he heard it, but he was quite clever, and asked: "Then the former dynasty was brought down by the Jiangnan faction?"

"Hey, they deserve it too." Rong Hao said with a smile: "Jiangnan is just a grass on the wall. Wherever the wind blows, they will fall there. What really brought down the former dynasty was the pincer attack of the Hu people and the rebels from all over the place. Yes Well, didn’t the emperor kill a few giants after the founding of the country? They were all from the Jiangnan sect, if it weren’t for the civil servants like them corrupting the law and making the people miserable, how could there be so many rebels?”

Yun Lan was listening beside her, and then she said lightly: "When you talk about Jiangnan, you just talk about Jiangnan. Why are you talking about the way of monarchs and ministers?"

Rong Hao is a son of a prince, so he naturally stands on the side of the monarchy.Yun Lan's father was the "remonstrance minister" who was killed in the Imperial Prison by Emperor Qingde on the charge of Luo Zhi, so the perspective is different.Rong Hao then smiled and said: "Didn't I just say this by the way. In fact, during the Great Zhou dynasty, the shadow of the gentry never disappeared. Needless to say, dangers abounded at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou. Chen Sanjin was involved in this kind of rebellious case and died. Ye Shen asked to be named the king of Jiangnan in order to take over the farthest and most difficult Jiangnan for the emperor. It can be seen that the life and death of the emperor and his ministers We had a good time as an acquaintance. Later, Lord Ye Shen and his ministers fell out, so we replaced the Pingxi Palace. It took decades to suppress the Jiangnan bomb."

"I know that your Pingxi Palace is amazing. Ye and Rong share the world." Yun Lan couldn't listen anymore: "If you don't talk about it now, Xiaoyan will fall asleep."

"It's not easy now? The Holy One realized that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River was the easiest to break through among the main battle factions, so he recalled Taifu Ye and appointed him as a student of politics. Taifu Ye has always been obedient. Next year, in the spring, he will definitely choose Mu Fengju. The champion. The Holy Majesty took the initiative to show his favor to the Jiangnan faction. The Jiangnan faction is short-sighted and ready to make a move. Otherwise, why has Mu Fengju been silent these days? In my opinion, within two days, Mu Chaoran will also reverse the case."

When Yan Junyu heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Then what should we do now?"

Rong Hao just lay down on the couch at the back, and said, "What should I do? I'm also thinking about it. Otherwise, why would I go to Luo Heng? If he doesn't come out of the mountain, I'll send Li Daoyong away to punish him for the crime of forming a party for personal gain." , just to be a favor to the Holy One."

"Why do you have to invite Luo Heng? Can't you do it yourself?" Yan Junyu asked him seriously.

"Of course I can do it, but I may make a wrong step. After all, I am trying to drive ducks to the shelves, so I still have some self-knowledge. The situation in the East Palace is more dangerous than we thought, and we must not make mistakes. Xiaoyan also listens to the stories of the Three Kingdoms, Look at Jia Xu, there is no such thing as a straw boat to borrow arrows, but he stands on the general trend and points out the direction in every power transition in the Three Kingdoms. In the end, Xun Yu and Guo Jia are gone, but he has a long life and a good death. What the East Palace needs now This is the role of the mastermind. How to deal with the Jiangnan faction is just a matter of decision. Of course I can make a decision, but there is no chance of trial and error. It will be too late to wait until the result is out. The people of Xirong are waiting now. I made a mistake." Rong Hao changed his subject and said: "It is said in the history books that Fang Mou is good at making decisions, Fang Xuanling is good at planning, and Du Ruhui is good at making decisions. Du Ruhui's decisiveness is what is necessary for the mastermind. If you want to be a planner Lord, it’s not enough just to know how to read, you have to learn how to govern the world. First you have to study politics, you have to be clear about the regulations of the three provinces and six ministries, and the old rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Then you have to study the law, you also need to understand human nature, and when necessary, you must understand how to use soldiers Dao, at the critical moment, you need to have the courage to make decisions. A person who can govern the world needs several years of cultivation, and he still has to rely on talent. Let me tell Xiaoyan the truth, now I am more like a counselor, and the decision-making part is all handled by His Highness. Hold on."

"Then Li Daoyong..."

Rong Hao was amused by Yan Junyu's whimsy.

"Li Daoyong is even worse. He is a scholar like me. He is smart and understands, but we are not sure if we are to decide on politics. The closest to this ability is Luo Heng. He sees chaos The game is just like we watch a chess game, and the main line can be drawn."

Although Yan Junyu also knew that Luo Heng was great, because Li Yu praised his father in front of him all day long, that he was the smartest person in the world.But he never expected it to be so powerful, he said in a daze, "But he is the director of the teaching workshop."

Rong Hao burst into laughter immediately.

"Coincidentally, if his ancestors hadn't done such things in governing the world, how could he have been reduced to the Jiaofang Division?"

Yun Lan couldn't take it anymore, put the cup down, turned around and left.Rong Hao also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he made a "shh" gesture towards Yan Junyu, lay down on the smoke cage, and began to close his eyes and rest his mind.Yan Junyu told him not to, and after pondering for a while, he couldn't think of any good way to bring back the Jiangnan gentry.He also knows that this matter is just like buying things, and it is most taboo to raise prices between the two.

Besides, the crown prince is only the crown prince, how can he be lifted above the current emperor?

Although Yan Junyu couldn't think of a good way, he could still guess some things.He slept alone until midnight, when he suddenly heard a slight sound, opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Jingyan had just come in, Yun Lan was talking softly behind him, seeing him jumping off the bed, he immediately laughed.

"Why did you come back?"

"Mom is coming, let me rest for a while, I just came back to watch Xiaoyan." He said softly.In such a late night, there was a slight tiredness in his eyes, which made him look even more gentle.

Yan Junyu endured and endured, and said: "I know about Jiangnan."

"Really?" He still just smiled, it was Rong Hao who said it, the demeanor of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, he did not see such a dangerous situation at all.

"You allowed them to do this, right?" Yan Junyu was still smart, and asked while holding his belt.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't resist at all, and was pulled closer like this. His Majesty was seriously ill, and the people around him had to dress more luxuriously and brightly. He was wearing a vermilion auspicious suit, with five-clawed golden dragon patterns, and a scorpion belt tied around his waist, making him look even more handsome. The shape is tall and straight, the waist is slender, and the hair on the temples is black.Quietly lowered her head, her eyes were as beautiful as mountains.

He said, "Xiaoyan thinks about war for me, so of course I can also teach Xiaoyan how to maneuver."

Although Yan Junyu thought hard day and night about Xi Rong's invasion of Da Zhou, his face was thin, and when he dared to speak to Yun Lan, his ears turned red when he mentioned it.The main reason is that he has been in a bit of a hurry recently, often letting Wei Ru play the role of Xirong, and he thinks that Wei Ru is not good enough, and his deduction is not as sophisticated as Meng Cang's tactics.Wei Ru was also very angry, and shouted: "I'm not that Mengcang, he has spies and counselors, and I don't even have a military adviser."

Yan Junyu actually has a good temper. Seeing him angry, he coaxed him patiently: "It's okay, I'll just ask Rong Hao when I turn around. I've been thinking about tricks myself recently. How can the coach not understand the situation in the court?" ?Okay, I will never say that you don’t care about the past and the future, don’t be angry, we are going to help His Highness find Meng Cang’s weakness, this is a very important thing..."

It turned out that he had heard all these words!

Thinking of this, Yan Junyu's ears burned.He has also grown a lot taller recently, and when he held his head up, he also had the air of a boy, stammering, "I don't need you to teach me."

Xiao Jingyan laughed immediately, stretched out his hand to hook his waist, smiled and kissed him.

"That can't be done, Meng Cang has the entire Xirong counselor as a think tank, and my Xiaoyan has to accept me as a counselor."
