Lu Wenyuan looked in the direction of the finger of the Ministry of Rites, and found that it was one of the Wei Ce in the "Warring States Policy", and then looked at the title, Lu Wenyuan was also stunned, it turned out to be "King Wei and Longyang Jun fishing in the same boat".

Lu Wenyuan studied history before, and with his extensive and diligent study, he naturally read "Warring States Policy" when he was studying, but the articles were complicated, and it was impossible to write them all down, and he forgot about some unimportant ones, but now he was shocked when he mentioned them. This article was originally the source of "Longyang's goodness", and today's saint's preference for Longyang is known to the government and the opposition, so how can such a sensitive forbidden area be touched lightly? No wonder the Ministry of Rites is nervous.

Lu Wenyuan frowned slightly, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at him for a long time, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he panicked and said: "The emperor has always been secretive about Longyang's affairs, I think we should not touch the tiger's butt lightly, and just skip this one." ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "No." Rather than circumventing it, I am afraid that this is deliberately highlighted. What we have to do is try to approach this article in a natural way. Tomorrow, Lord Zhou can speak as usual, the tone and attitude must be the same as usual, and the content should be as brief as possible, and do not mention issues that can arouse the emperor's special attention. In short, try to finish this article quickly and naturally. ”

Lord Zhou nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Lord Lu understands better." With Lord Lu by his side tomorrow, the official can also feel a little more at ease. ”

Lu Wenyuan actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, but in order to make the Ministry of Rites Shangshu feel relieved, he pretended to comfort him easily, and then ordered his family Ding Haosheng to send him home.

However, they never dreamed that Zhu Shiyang had taken these classes in a fake way, and what he was waiting for was this article. In fact, he is reluctant to listen to the government and criticize the chapter in the court on weekdays, let alone listen to people every day, so that it is just to hide people's eyes and ears, so that his purpose will not be too obvious. As soon as this article was finished, Zhu Shiyang found out Lu Wenyuan's intentions, and the daily lecture that lasted only a few days ended here.

Zhu Shiyang thought so, and when he listened to the lecture this day, he was particularly uplifted, and when he heard the title of "King Wei and Longyang Jun Fishing in a Boat" read out by the Ministry of Rites, he straightened up, his eyes widened, and he shook his head with the recitation of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was so frightened that he was about to cry, and Lu Wenyuan also complained in his heart.

Finally, after the explanation was completed, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was anxious to move on to the next article, but was interrupted by Zhu Shiyang: "Wait, I still don't understand this article, can Master Zhou talk about it in detail for me?"

"King Wei and Long Yangjun shared a boat and fished", which is about King Wei and Long Yangjun fishing in the same boat, and Long Yangjun caught more than a dozen fish but cried. King Wei asked, "Do you have anything to be unhappy about?" Why don't you sue me?" ”

King Wei said, "Then why do you shed tears?"

Long Yangjun replied, "I shed tears for the fish I caught. ”

King Wei asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

Long Yangjun said: "I was very happy when I caught a fish at first, but then I caught a bigger fish, so I just wanted to throw away the fish I had caught before. Now, with my ugly appearance, I have the opportunity to serve the king. My title was given to the king of Longyang, and in the imperial court, the ministers flocked to me, and on the road, people made way for me. However, there are many beauties in the world, and knowing that I am blessed by the king, they will definitely pick up their clothes and run to the king. At that time, I will not be as good as them, and I will be the first fish I caught, and I will be thrown away, how can I not shed tears?"

King Wei said: "Aiqing is wrong. If you have such thoughts, why didn't you tell me earlier?" and then ordered the whole country, whoever dares to talk about beauty, will be guilty of exterminating the nine tribes.

This article is just to say that the people favored by the emperor are already very complete in their means of flattering and fixing favors, and the means of deceiving the king are also very ingenious. Nowadays, when someone offers a beautiful woman from a thousand miles away, can the beautiful woman who can be offered must be able to receive the favor of the king? Even if he can be favored, will the king definitely obey those who offer the beauty? The people who were originally favored around the king will also complain about the person who offers the beauty, so it is not a sign of wisdom to offer a beautiful woman to the king.

The whole article was already written in great detail, and the Ministry of Rites did not know how to explain it in more detail, so he had to stammered and read it again according to the original text.

Zhu Shiyang was very satisfied, just because he made such a request, just to lay out for his next step, so he immediately said "um", and went straight to the topic: "Since I mentioned Longyang today, I want to ask you what you think of Longyang." Even if you speak freely, I will never blame you if you speak badly. As he spoke, he looked at the Ministry of Rites and said, "Lord Zhou, you speak first." ”

The ceremonial Shangshu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to say that his life was miserable, dodged around, and hit the tip of the gun. After thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "The minister thinks that although the way of Longyang is contrary to the traditional etiquette, it ...... Well...... There's nothing wrong with that. The ...... of the Way of Longyang Well...... Both sides, not for the purpose of inheritance, well...... That's ...... Sincerely. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was sweating profusely and stammering, obviously with different hearts and mouths, and only chose what the emperor liked to hear. Zhu Shiyang really laughed when he heard it: "Lord Zhou's opinion is very unique, even I have never thought of it." Could it be that Lord Zhou is also a person in this way?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was so bluffed that he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, the minister already has a wife, and the eldest son is no longer confused." If you have high hopes for the emperor, please forgive the emperor. ”

Zhu Shiyang laughed a few times, then turned his head and asked the waiter to read Bangyan and Tanhua. Bangyan and Tanhua are young and ignorant, some say good and some say bad, Zhu Shiyang responded with a smile one by one, without comment. In the end, he pretended to inadvertently turn his head and asked Lu Wenyuan, "What does Lu Qing think?"

Lu Wenyuan had probably guessed his mind at this time, but he was not sure, so he had to still follow the previous rhetoric and said: "Breaking the sleeves and dividing the peach is just a personal preference, and it is understandable originally, but the emperor, as the son of the great tomorrow, shoulders the responsibility of the government of the society, and extends the heirs, so that there are successors to the Ming Dynasty, and the country is long, which is the emperor's unshirkable responsibility." Therefore, the emperor should not be too obsessed with this way. ”

Zhu Shiyang had already guessed that Lu Wenyuan would say this, so he laughed dryly twice and said, "What Lu Qing said is very reasonable, I will seriously consider it in the future." But what I'm asking today isn't what you think of me, it's what you think of Longyang. ”

Lu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Bangyan Tanhua were also a little confused, just because the emperor didn't ask them so carefully, how could it be different when Lu Wenyuan arrived? The three of them hurriedly stared at Lu Wenyuan with bated breath to see how he answered.

Lu Wenyuan thought about it, thinking that the emperor wanted to ask Fu Qian about peace and peace, so he said: "If the two can be sincere to each other, the distinction between men and women may not be so important, as long as they can support each other like ordinary couples and never give up." ”

He said it objectively and to the point, but it was not the answer Zhu Shiyang wanted. Zhu Shiyang waved his hand and interrupted him: "I don't ask you what you think of others, I only ask your own opinion. As he spoke, seeing that Lu Wenyuan seemed to be even more confused, he "tsked" and simply said: "If this kind of thing is put on you, how will you react, and will you feel disgusted?"

Zhu Shiyang said, leaned forward, and stared at Lu Wenyuan tightly. Seeing the emperor like this, everyone was shocked, and secretly guessed in their hearts, but they couldn't guess for a while. Lu Wenyuan was also a little panicked, looked at the book of the Ministry of Rites, and then looked at the Bangyan and Tanhua behind Zhu Shiyang, before he muttered: "This is ...... Chen really didn't think about it. ”

Zhu Shiyang said impatiently: "Then you think about it now." ”

Lu Wenyuan became more and more embarrassed, and he was in a panic for a long time, seeing that Zhu Shiyang didn't mean to let go of himself, and the other three also listened in a daze, so he muttered: "Minister...... The minister should not be able to accept it, but it will not be disgusted...... Right?"

Zhu Shiyang was pleasantly surprised: "You mean you won't be disgusted?"

Lu Wenyuan thought to himself that the focus of his words was obviously in the first half of the sentence, how could it only reach the second half of the emperor's ears? But he didn't dare to think about it, so he had to nod his head wrongly.

Zhu Shiyang showed an ecstatic expression for a moment, but quickly restrained it, and then pretended to be indifferent and said, "I know." That's all for today, I'm hungry too, so I'll go back to the harem for dinner. Gui Xi—"

……

The next day, it rained heavily in the capital, which just gave Zhu Shiyang an excuse not to speak in Japan, and since then, he has not been able to find anyone everywhere. In later generations, a historian wrote a history to this point, commenting: "Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the emperor has had a person who has entered the day and dropped out for three days, but Emperor Ming Zhao is alone. The absurdity of Emperor Zhu Shiyang of the Ming Zhao Dynasty can be seen from this. ”
