The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

"Yan'er, you should understand that you are indeed His Majesty's courtier, but since you made that choice that day, from then on, you are not just His Majesty's courtier." In Weifu, Wei Yan's mother Liu Shi Persuading his son earnestly.

Originally, the grandson Minwen sent a letter from his family that everything was fine, which was a great joy for the whole family. It was even more joyful that the son had time to share the joy with him while he was busy, but once the son lived by his side for a long time, The one in the deep palace sent people to give this gift and that greeting every day, and this joy was about to turn into worry.

If a married daughter encounters such a situation, Liu can understand the reason without asking too many questions. She must have quarreled with her husband over some trivial matter and hid back to her natal home. She will naturally comfort her and call her son-in-law He and Xi Ni sent them home, but the son and the emperor were so awkward that Liu didn't know how to talk to his son, so he could only remind him tactfully: Even if the one in the deep palace really put him When there is pain on the apex of the heart, and when you are having trouble, you should also pay attention to the method and degree.

For her mother's advice, Wei Yan just listened carefully, but did not speak.He also knew that he had lived at home for a little too long, but he was unwilling to go back to the palace like this, as if going back like this was a disguised admission of the emperor's absurd remarks that day.

His business is the emperor's business. The emperor has no family business. Since it is a state matter, of course it cannot be regarded as private use of public equipment. With just a few words and a few words, the emperor successfully turned his questioning that day into an unreasonable trouble. Wei Yan was almost believed by the emperor. If he didn't apologize to the emperor immediately, he would have committed a heinous crime.

Of course, Wei Yan knew very well that the emperor was talking nonsense and full of fallacies.

What does it mean that the Son of Heaven has no family affairs?When the emperor needs it, outsiders are not allowed to intervene in the family affairs of the emperor. When the emperor doesn't need it, it becomes the emperor's family affairs. All matters are state affairs. Let the emperor speak the truth and irony alone. Can he be convinced? ?

However, he couldn't speak to the emperor, and he couldn't beat him. He was speechless, so he could only turn around and leave, regardless of the emperor calling him from behind, and walked out of the palace gate in a hurry.

After he came out, he was blown on the head by the cold wind, and finally calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he seemed a little too angry, but he had already run out, so he went back obediently. Before the emperor expressed his remorse for his actions, he absolutely couldn't just go back like this.

"When two people live together, bumps and bumps are unavoidable. When encountering problems, we must discuss and resolve them together. This is the truth of living a good life. Don't let your own temper fool around and damage each other's feelings for trivial matters. , the gain outweighs the loss." Seeing that he did not speak, Liu continued to speak, hoping that the words used to comfort the young children would also be effective for her son.

Although Mrs. Liu doesn't know what happened, she knows her son better than her mother, and a mother knows her son's temper best. Once her son's temper becomes stubborn, it will be very troublesome, especially when someone indulges him. indulged him.

It's impossible for one person to make a fuss about being awkward. Seeing the son's aggrieved appearance, the person in the palace must be at fault, but the son may not have a part.

"That's not a trivial matter, it's a very important official matter." Sure enough, upon hearing her words, the son, who had been reluctant to speak up, immediately said angrily, "Your Majesty, he doesn't distinguish between public and private use of public equipment for private use, and abolishes public work for private purposes..."

"You said that His Majesty doesn't distinguish between public and private, and mother sees that you don't distinguish between public and private like His Majesty." Seeing her son's mother's partiality, Liu couldn't help sighing, "Mother doesn't understand those public and private, but Mother knows that if it is a business matter, it should be handled according to the rules of business affairs, and if it is a private matter, it should be resolved according to the method of private affairs. Now you are arguing with His Majesty in private because of business affairs, can this be called a distinction between public and private affairs?"

"This..." Wei Yan was left speechless once again. After thinking about it, he felt that what his mother said made sense.If he thinks this is a very important business and tries to solve it in the current way, it is indeed suspected that public and private are not separated, but...

"Everything must be distinguished between public and private. It's easy to talk about, but it's easier said than done. Even if you yourself, have you never used His Majesty's personal relationship with you to influence His Majesty's handling of official affairs? Is this in another sense? You don’t distinguish between public and private? You are already a father, and you understand these principles, so I won’t say much about your mother. You should go back and think about it yourself. In fact, when two people live together, if you can be confused, it’s better to be a little confused. .” Seeing that her son had obviously listened, Mrs. Liu stopped here.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework.The trivial things in life are the most complicated and cumbersome, and they are also the easiest to wear and tear. If one is not handled properly, there will be serious consequences.Liu didn't want to judge who was right between her son and the emperor, but she just hoped that her son could understand that it was also very important to learn to be confused when he should be confused.

When two people get along, if they have to argue about everything, it will not be a long-term solution.Now that her son has chosen this difficult path, she naturally hopes that he can live a peaceful and smooth life.

But she didn't expect that after thinking about it carefully, what her son did was not as muddled as she hoped, but he firmly remembered what she said earlier.

About a day after Wei Yan talked with his mother, the emperor received a memorial.

"Okay, okay, I have always been polite to him, he is planning to be a blessing! If you don't teach him a lesson, won't he climb on top of me in the future? Come..." Jing Li received Wei Yan's memorial , I was a little confused about what it was for, but when I opened it, I suddenly became angry, and I slapped the imperial case with my palm, making the tea lid on the case thump.

Isn't it just a letter from home?Isn't it just that he was speechless and irrefutable that day?Could it be that Wei Yan himself was not good at eloquence and eloquence, and it was his fault that he couldn't speak up?He was able to connect these things with the stability of the country and the country, and criticized him in a long speech, as if he had really done something terrible and unreasonable.

Is this really a bad thing?Why did he order Wei Minwen to send home a letter? It was not because he felt sorry for Wei Yan. In the end, it turned out to be like this. It was like treating his good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs. It is tolerable and unbearable. If you don't teach him a lesson, in the future But it's worth it.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was furious, had long forgotten the real reason why this letter appeared. Of course, even if he remembered, he would not think it was his fault.

"Order Yongninghou to come to see me immediately. I want to see if he dares to disobey the order?" He ordered angrily.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, the Marquis is still angry, this matter must be discussed in the long run..." The emperor shouted that he would teach Yongning Hou a good lesson. It was not the first time, and it certainly would not be the last time. Everyone knows what the result will be.

Marquis Yongning frowned a little, and the emperor would feel sorry for him, and he would coax him right away, how could he be able to teach him a lesson?Since the emperor's lesson is not true at all, why is it so strange that Yongning Hou will climb on the emperor's head from time to time?

Moreover, the Marquis of Yongning is still angry with the emperor at present, and the possibility of resisting the decree is [-]%. Could it be that they will really tie the Marquis of Yongning back?

Such a thing is of course impossible.If someone dared to do this, even if Marquis Yongning would not do anything to them, the emperor would not spare them after his anger subsided.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was furious with thunder, did not remember these situations, and the people around him did not dare to forget them for a moment. Therefore, even though someone stepped forward to stand by, they refused to go immediately. Instead, they quietly reminded the Emperor at the risk of being angered by the Emperor. .

Jing Li was so angry that he forgot about it, and when he was reminded like this, he hesitated again.It's a breeze to get Wei Yan back to clean up, but in this way, wouldn't his recent efforts to curry favor be in vain, and even if he cleans up, there won't be the result he wanted. It is better not to do anything than to spend a lot of time comforting her.

But, just letting him go like this, he couldn't swallow this breath.

The most urgent thing for him to do is to calmly ask Wei Yan to come back obediently, and when Wei Yan falls into his hands, he will not let him torment him.However, this is absolutely not the reason to torment Wei Yan.There is no need to worry about this, anyway, Wei Yan often does things without thinking in front of him, and it is easy to catch Wei Yan's braid.

Jing Li made up his mind, sat there thinking and thinking, and finally came up with a plan.

"Prince Xuan Six, Jing Ke, see you." If you want to fish, you must prepare a delicious bait, and you just have a bait that Wei Yan will definitely take the bait on hand. It doesn't need to be wasted, but before using it, you need to train.Even though Wei Yan is a stupid fish, he has to be careful.

After everything was arranged properly, Jing Li embarked on the journey to go fishing.

"I'll see Commander Wei later, so I remember everything?" On the way, Jing Li was a little worried about whether the bait had memorized what he taught, so he asked again.

"Father, please don't worry, my son will remember."

It was very warm inside the carriage, surrounded by thick velvet, and there was a small brazier under his feet, but Jing Ke didn't feel much warmth.He was sitting on the small stool at the emperor's feet, secretly glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye.

The words his father taught him were very common, and there was nothing strange about them, but his father's expression at this time made him always feel that something was wrong, and he didn't know what was wrong.

How should I put it, his father seems to be in a better mood.Originally, he should be in a good mood when going out of the palace, but before he was brought here, Xiao Zhenting secretly stuffed a piece of gold leaf on the servant who came to deliver the decree. The news he got was that the emperor was in a bad mood today and asked him to be careful when driving. Then it's so strange that his father is in such a happy mood now.

All kinds of lively sounds could be vaguely heard outside, but Jing Ke didn't have the energy to think about anything else, he just pondered over and over the mystery of what the emperor wanted him to say, and whether it would be detrimental to the Grand Commander.Of course, at his age, it would be impossible to figure out what his father was thinking even if he tried his best.

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the camp of the Guards.Jing Li had deliberated on this plan several times along the way, and before getting out of the car, he carried the fragrant bait from his feet to his lap, and checked it carefully to make sure everything was safe.

When planning, he weighed for a long time between making the bait look pitiful and being cute, and finally decided to focus on being cute, supplemented by pretending to be pitiful, and take down Wei Yan in one fell swoop.

In fact, with Wei Yan's temperament, pretending to be pitiful can achieve the goal faster, but unfortunately, the bait's round body and chubby face really can't match pitiful, Jing Li can only settle for the next best thing.

However, Bloody doesn't seem to be good enough.

Holding the bait, he looked up and down, picked out a flaw, stretched out his hand, and pinched and pinched the small face of the bait until it was red.

"If you do this well, I will give you a lot of rewards when you go back." When he pinched the bait to the point of crying, Jing Li hurriedly promised, coaxed and coaxed, and held his little hand all the way as compensation.

Wei Yan has been really busy recently.It takes time to deal with the daily affairs of the Guards Battalion. In addition, after the New Year, the Guards Battalion will recruit new recruits into the camp. All preliminary preparations must be completed before the end of the year. He needs to complete a lot of paperwork, so he told the emperor The people who came to inquire, kept replying that he was too busy to enter the palace to pay his respects recently, which cannot be regarded as a lie.

After talking with his mother the day before yesterday, he thought about it for a day and a night, and finally wrote a note to the emperor, expressing his dissatisfaction and admonishment for the family letter incident and the emperor's sophistry on this matter, regardless of whether the emperor received it. Even if the emperor still insists on how to give instructions on this memorial, he still intends to return to the palace immediately after the matter at hand has been sorted out.

Mother was right, he shouldn't allow these official affairs to wear down their relationship.Public is public and private is private. When he asked the emperor to distinguish between public and private, he should also do it himself.

If the emperor insists on his absurd remarks and refuses to repent, he will continue to remonstrate him until the emperor accepts the advice and reforms, and he must never run out in a fit of anger.This is what a courtier should do. As for private matters, they should be settled in private.

After making this decision, Wei Yan finally let go of a stone in his heart, and he did things much faster.During the days when he was at home, the emperor was worried and sent people to inquire every day, so why didn't he miss the emperor.

The recruitment of guards has its own regulations. Family background, experience, ability, and loyalty must all be tested by the school. According to the process, it is divided into two stages: preliminary selection and post-examination. The examination is divided into literary examination and military examination.The exam will be held in the next year, and what Wei Yan is doing now is the last job of the preliminary selection - to determine the final list of candidates.

This job is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.The emperor's guard is a shortcut to becoming an official. There are too many people who want to get into the guard camp, and the number of places is always limited. Naturally, there are all kinds of tricks.

Fortunately, Wei Yan's biggest backer was the emperor. With the emperor's backing, he didn't need to promise anyone, and there were only a handful of people who dared to make things difficult for him, which invisibly saved a lot of trouble.

Even so, there are always more suitable people than there are places, and other factors besides ability will also play a role. The fairness and fairness of this selection can only be done relatively speaking, so Wei Yan is now getting closer to the emperor, slowly Slowly learn the way of balance, and try to make the list in his hand a balance that is in line with the emperor's interests.

These are not things that Wei Yan is good at. Fortunately, the emperor often asks him to handle political affairs together, and he can figure out what the emperor wants. Although this matter is difficult, it is not without a clue.

When Wei Yan was weighing the matter painstakingly, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.He raised his head involuntarily, just in time to see a small hand grasping the windproof warm curtain, and in the blink of an eye a round-clothed little figure slipped in through the gap.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Wei Yan, who was still immersed in thinking, was puzzled by the sudden appearance of the sixth prince Jing Ke, and asked puzzledly.

"Ke'er wants to be in command." Jing Ke stood on tiptoe vigorously, rolled up the warm curtain, revealing the person behind him, "Father also wants to be in command."
