Chapter Seventy-Nine

Mo Yan walked to the front of the Golden Phoenix Palace, Duan Yun happily greeted her and rushed into her arms, "Aunt Huang, great, you are back, where have you been, I can't find you anywhere." ”

Mo Yan smiled and hugged his shoulder, "Aren't I coming back?" Thinking that it was no longer the same as before, he pushed him out of his arms, put his hands on his shoulders and said seriously: "Your Majesty! You are now the lord of a country, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at your words and deeds, which is related to the prestige of the country, and you must not act so recklessly in the future." ”

Duan Yun listened to his words and did a proper salute: "Erchen pays a visit to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is safe." ”

"Excuse me, get up. Mo Yan couldn't help but smile and pretended to be stern.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. After speaking, he raised his head and squeezed his eyes mischievously at Mo Yan, Mo Yan took his hand and walked into the Golden Phoenix Palace with a smile, thinking to himself, it is difficult for him to let this naughty ghost do this, so let's teach it slowly!

"The Queen Mother hasn't said where you've been?" Duan Yun was led into the Golden Phoenix Palace by her, and asked sideways.

"Went to the dungeon. Mo Yan didn't hide it either, and said bluntly. Although Duan Yun is still young, he is in his current position, there are many dark things that he must know sooner or later, and if he knows earlier, he will be able to avoid being fooled by others a few times.

Duan Yun frowned, "The dungeon? It's not good there, don't go to that place in the future." After a pause, he continued to ask, "Have you gone to visit the kings?"

"No, I only went to see Zhao Xiujin. Seeing him look at himself strangely, he said: "Since ancient times, people who want to rebel must have enough military power in their hands in addition to ambition, and the little military power in their hands is doomed to make them nothing, and now that the military power is withdrawn, they will be slaughtered, so it doesn't matter if you see them or not." ”

Duan Yun nodded to show that he understood, so he listened to Mo Yan's voice and continued: "But Zhao Xiujin is different, he is an important minister in the Taizu period, he has served two generations of kings, he is the prime minister, and he has been operating in the court for many years and has many henchmen, he is like a tree in a good field, if you don't uproot and only cut the main trunk, all the roots under it will give out new heads, although it can't be a big deal, but it's annoying." ”

Duan Yun also knows that no matter how big it is, it can't become a tree, it can only be burned as firewood, and the roots are tenacious, even if only a very small root is left in the soil, several small trees will grow in the next year, a plant that is difficult to get rid of, "Then did he have an honest explanation?"

"No! Not only did he not give an honest account, but he also wanted to provoke my relationship with the courtiers. Mo Yan said briefly, not only did he not say it, he didn't give Mo Yan a chance to ask at all, so he exhausted Mo Yan's patience and threw his sleeves away, the more Mo Yan thought about it now, the more he felt that he was deliberately talking nonsense like this, so that she couldn't ask a word that she should ask.

"It's so hateful, it should be dealt with as soon as possible, so that he won't be able to confuse the public with gossip. Duan Yun said indignantly.

Mo Yan nodded and said, "Well, so don't trust the courtiers in the court, especially those civil ministers. You have to remember that many times, the pen of the civil servants is sharper and more difficult to deal with than the blades of military officials, and they will use their power and swords to tie your hands and feet with vain morality, leaving you in a dilemma. ”

"So what can I do so that I don't get swayed. Duan Yun asked, thinking about that scene, he felt uncomfortable.

This really stumped her, this question is too profound, the more you explain, the more chaotic it becomes, it is not a few words that can be explained clearly, this is something that needs to grow and accumulate, she sat on the chair, took a sip of tea and thought about it: "You may not understand it now, but you will naturally know it later." Now I will teach you one more thing, you should let the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment, not that the officials under your rule should restrain you with words, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the benefit of the people, you should let it go, and you don't have to care about the etiquette system they say, you must know that you are the lord of the world, and you are the maker of the rules rather than the observator. Like the canonical law, the ritual system, the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the Four Books and Five Classics, these are all things you use to restrain the people of the world, not to let them restrain you, you know?"

Duan Yun thought about it, but he still didn't understand why he didn't use the Dao law that everyone in the world had to abide by, this was different from what the young master said, but he would do what she said, in his heart, Mo Yan was much more powerful than the young master, "Erchen knows." ”

Mo Yan nodded slightly, thinking in his heart about finding a master for Duan Yun to teach him well, there were many things to do during this time, so he delayed this matter, "Yun'er is the emperor now, have you ever thought about who you want to be the emperor?"

"Young Master Liu is very good now, what does the imperial aunt think?" Duan Yun asked.

"He is pedantic, inflexible, more than knowledgeable, and it's okay to teach others, but he is still lacking in being an emperor. Mo Yan commented.

Thinking about Young Master Liu's usual stubborn appearance, knowing that what Mo Yan said was reasonable, he didn't insist on it, "Then who can do it?"

Mo Yan's index finger slowly flicked on the table, and he went through the suitable candidates in the court in his mind, "How about Shaofu Jiang Jun?"

Strategic, confident, and most importantly, not admiring power, knowing how to retreat bravely, such a person is the most suitable, I am afraid that he is unwilling to take responsibility.

"Very good, Jiang Shaofu I am also very satisfied. Duan Yun nodded, he still remembered that every time he met Jiang Jun when he was a child, he would kindly give him sugar pills to eat, and he licked his lips unconsciously when he thought of this.

Mo Yan looked at him and said with a smile: "Only you are satisfied, can't you?" As he spoke, he got up and walked to the bookshelf behind the desk to look through, then took out a stack of music folds and moved them to the desk, opened a book and handed it to him.

Duan Yun followed her to the desk, saw her hand over the piece and took it into her hand to watch, and said in surprise: "This is a resignation?"

Mo Yan pulled back the recital and said with a smile: "Yes, it's not just this one, these are all books, since Jiang Jun returned to Beijing, several of these cannons will be handed over every month, and they are all accumulated here." As he spoke, he patted the stack of concertos with the piece of music in his hand, and then his eyes accidentally skimmed the instructions on the music, his eyes were slightly stunned and quickly recovered, and he continued with a smile: "So I want him to be your master, not only to make a holy decree, but also to persuade him to stay willingly." ”

"You mean to ask me to invite him personally, so that he can see my intentions. Duan Yun said.

"It's not enough to have the will of the city, you also have to show him your ambitions and plans. The most conceited thing about a strategist like him is his own intelligence, and to be his disciple, you have to let him see your potential in this regard. Mo Yan pointed.

"I understand, I must let him volunteer to be my concubine, and my son has to go and prepare, and retire first. Duan Yun was eager to try, and at a glance, he knew what kind of crooked idea he was moving.

Looking at Duan Yun who was leaving in a hurry, although he tried his best to be solemn, but he was still a child in the end, Mo Yan smiled lightly and withdrew his eyes, but saw that his fingers had been unconsciously rubbing the instructions on the concerto.

She withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and the handwriting on it had been rubbed a little, but she could still see that the vigorous and powerful handwriting came from the hand of the former emperor Duan Li.

She stamped the concertos with no wave, put them back on the shelves, and turned away, leaving a room of silence.
