Chan'er finished cleaning up, and took Ruqing to the palace gate of Lanyue Pavilion to wait for Pang Ding Mountain, and after a while, she really saw Pang Ding Mountain's figure, but there was another person beside him, his gray beard did not look old, but it looked more and more energetic.

His forehead was full, his eyes were shining, and he knew at a glance that he was a human spirit.

He is none other than the prime minister of the dynasty, Wen Binding!

Chan'er was a little shocked, what did she do when she heard that she came to Lanyue Pavilion? Although she thought that if there was Wen Lian's help, then Situ Ye's path would definitely be better, but Wen Lian was not a political king, and not everyone could trust her like Situ Ye and Pang Dingshan.

And in the eyes of others, women are too smart, which may not necessarily be a good thing.

It stands to reason that Chan'er should give a big salute when she sees the ministers of the court, especially Xiangguo, and she should give a big salute, but because the king said that in an informal setting, Chan'er can not make a big salute when she sees him, so she should not bow to the minister.

Otherwise, there will be rumors that the minister is more respected than the emperor.

So Chan'er was well-behaved, and Ruqing was kneeling and bowing, Xiangguo didn't say anything, he knew what King Zhengwang said, and when King Tianzheng said, he was there, "General Pang, you talk to your daughter, the old man will go to find the prince first." ”

After saying that, Wen Jian bypassed Chan'er and walked straight to the study, Pang Dingshan came to Chan'er for her wedding banquet three days later, and the left was only two or three sentences, so he quickly finished explaining and went to the study.

In the study, Situ Ye and Wen Xiangguo sat face to face, "The name is the prince." The old man came to you today because he had something to ask you. ”

Situ Ye nodded and motioned for Wen Jian to continue.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, the old man heard that in three days, you are going to marry again?"

Situ Ye snorted coldly, and asked knowingly, this news has been passed down a long time ago, can he, as the prime minister of the current dynasty, not know?

Obviously that's impossible, and don't think he doesn't know. He's here with the general!

"The old man has a problem here. If the famous prince can help the old man solve the perfect answer, the old man will give a big gift. ”

Situ Ye didn't care if he was polite or not, but he remembered what Chan'er said, Wen Jian was a very important person. If you can help him too. Then he will be more sure of the reserve. But Wen Jian is a loyal minister, and he hates the matter of taking the throne.

Although he had helped the king to seize the crown prince at the beginning, this time was not that time.

Although the crown prince is not suitable to be a prince. But the qualifications of the Seventh Prince are okay, and now there is no reason to abolish the prince, so Wen Jian didn't say anything.

In fact, he has a lot of pickled things that the prince has done, but... There is no concrete evidence. You must know that it is not so easy to abolish the prince, and the prince also has Yuan Jingzhen as a backer, Wen Jian thought, the things that the prince did should be cleaned up by Yuan Jingzhen, otherwise with the prince's person, he would never be able to do it!

"Xiangguo, excuse me, Xiao Wang to see if he can answer, Xiao Wang is very curious, I didn't expect Xiangguo to come to my Lanyue Pavilion just to ask me questions, this... What a strange thing! ”

"Once upon a time, the emperors of a certain country had prosperous heirs, he had thirteen princes, and it was time to appoint a prince, the eldest prince misbehaved, the second prince behaved unjustly, the third prince was cruel and blood-devouring, the fourth prince was smart and treacherous, the fifth prince was kind and cowardly, the sixth prince was honest, the seventh prince was sleek and decent, the eighth prince was clever and eloquent, the ninth prince was still young, and he was still teaching, and the other princes were even more.

"But the emperor is in trouble, the eldest prince with bad conduct is obviously not suitable to be the king, otherwise if he takes the throne, the first thing he will do must be to slaughter his own brothers, or the brothers will rebel, no matter which one he does not want to see, but he doesn't know who should be appointed among these princes, this question The old man has thought about it for a long time, but he has not come up with an answer, what is the opinion of the unknown prince?"

Situ Ye pursed his lips and didn't speak, is this a test for him?

Although the back of the story he said is very different from the current situation of his father, the meaning is almost the same, if he answers well, then Wen Jian will look at him differently, if it is not good, then it may not be the result.

Wen binds this person, but he is a very important person, and he can't help but think about it.

Thinking about the queen or Wen Bin's niece, he didn't help the queen blindly support the Seven Princes, it can be seen that Wen Jian is a person, public is public, private is private, a typical iron-faced and selfless person.

At this moment, Pang Dingshan walked in, and Wen Jian was puzzled: "You finished talking to your daughter so soon?" How many words did this say? ”

Pang Dingshan frowned: "Then how long will it take?" I'll tell her and ask her to wait for me, and I'll take her out of the palace in a while, is it still an hour to say such a sentence? I'm not a man who can speak a word for a quarter of an hour! ”

"General, where is Chan'er? She didn't come with you? ”

Situ Ye asked very subconsciously, then looked at the door, and his heart sank slightly when he heard this, if he was the prince, would he become the second king of Yin? The second Xia Ji?

That Chan'er is indeed very beautiful, compared to Daji, my sister is too much, right?

And this Chan'er is extremely smart, it is inevitable that she will not have a different heart, and the country will be in danger at that time.

"I'll ask her to get some refreshments, Wen Xiangguo, I just heard the question you said, aren't you going to let me know what you're looking for, but don't I still know the same now? Actually, like you, I want to hear about it. ”

Wen Jian understood the secret meaning of the general, he had the same mind as him, he wanted to support Situ Ye, but he didn't know if Situ Ye could be up to the task, so he also wanted to know.

But hasn't Pang Dingshan always cared about the affairs of Lichu? Isn't he not taking sides? Is it because of that Chan'er?

Wen Lian asked this question, and his practical intentions were threefold, one was to take a look at Situ Ye's own attitude, and according to his answer, he could guess the angle from which he considered things, so that he could know his attitude.

The second is because he married Ling Huan, and now he wants to marry Chan'er.

Neither of them is a small role, one is the daughter of Ling Zuoxiang, the other is the righteous daughter of the general, although the latter is a righteous daughter, but not to be underestimated, her intelligence is praised by the emperor, and the emperor is also impressed by her, and even gave her the surname Situ.

Three, just look at Situ Ye's scheming, as a prince, it is impossible not to have any scheming, but if you have scheming, you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and this is very important, because it is related to the people's aspirations.

A few people were talking, Chan'er came in with refreshments, and after distributing refreshments to everyone, she stood beside the huge general, Pang Dingshan suddenly laughed, and told Chan'er the question of Wen Xiangguo that she had just heard: "Daughter, who do you think can be this important task?" ”

Chan'er was stunned, she glanced at Wen Bin, and then secretly looked at Situ Ye, Situ Ye just squinted her eyes slightly, and then drank tea by herself, Chan'er immediately understood that Wen Jian was here to test Situ Ye.

So she looked a little embarrassed: "Father, why don't you talk about business in the study but tell the story?" So my daughter happens to have a story, but I don't know if to say it at this time? ”

Pang Dingshan can be regarded as understanding the heart of this righteous girl, so he nodded: "Wen Xiangguo, I don't think it's too late to listen to other stories, right?" And my daughter's story shouldn't be bad either. ”

Wen Jian nodded.

So Chan'er began to tell the story, in fact, the story, everyone here also knows, is the story of Mencius who went to Qi to talk to King Qi Xuan after leaving King Qi Xiang, but it is not simply a book.

When King Hui of Liang faced Mencius, he asked as soon as he opened his mouth, "Why is it beneficial to our country?" He also had an unsuccessful son who said in a loud voice, "The world is evil? ”。

In contrast, King Qi Xuan asked a little more tactfully, and the result was just right for Mencius, after all, Mencius pursued Confucianism, which was the most opposed to hegemony, so when he heard King Qi Xuan's euphemistic question, he was blunt.

After that, there was the words of the gentleman Yuanku, which was originally from the "Book of Rites". Yuzao": "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and everything with flesh and blood is also practiced." This is used here by Mencius, in fact, Mencius only wants to explain two words, that is, benevolence.

That's the end of Chan'er's story, but she said: "Just now I saw that Lord Xiangguo raised a question, and the little woman also dared to ask a question, right?" ”

Wen Tie and Pang Dingshan nodded and motioned to her that Wen Tie wanted to know what Chan'er wanted to say.

"Everything in the world has life, there are chefs outside, there are small chefs, and there are imperial chefs in the palace, and who is the person who provides ingredients to these cooks? Are they benevolent or unkind? ”

Wen Jian was stunned when he heard it, the gentleman is far away from the cooking intention of this benevolent word, but as long as people want to live, there will be killing, what chickens, ducks, fish, etc., are all living lives, but the people who provide the ingredients need to slaughter them, so are they not benevolent?

But if they are not benevolent, they are helpless, because this is where their job lies, especially those imperial chefs, they need to cook for the emperor and concubines, do they let them eat clear soup and clear water every day?

In the final analysis, it is to make others eat well, that is, the heart of thinking about others, isn't this benevolence?

Chan'er's question was really difficult for a while, so it was silent for a while, Pang Dingshan suddenly laughed, and then looked at Situ Ye: "Lord Wang, seeing that the old man and Wen Xiangguo can't answer it like this, now they can only rely on the prince!" ”

Situ Ye looked at Chan'er, he knew that Chan'er was specially helping him out of the siege, so he coughed lightly and said, "Why are you asking me?" Then I'll answer Chan'er first, and then answer Wen Xiangguo, I don't know what Wen Xiangguo wants? ”

Wen Jian nodded.

"The so-called benevolence and inhumanity are all comments from others, in fact, they just think about the problem from different angles, different angles, different positions, and natural opinions will be different." (To be continued......)
