The rest of the people were gone, and the purple smoke from the incense burner diffused in the room, making people a little drowsy.

This is a confidential location, and there are no glass windows, but thick window paper is still used.

Perhaps the emperor always discussed some unsightly things here, even if he knew that there was no one outside the glass window, he would feel uncomfortable when he saw the transparent glass and the blazing sun.

The emperor didn't let Liu Yu wait too long, and after everyone left, he let Liu Yu sit aside and asked with a smile: "Shouchang, your return from Weihai this time is quite different from previous years." ”

"In the court today, I thought you were going to squirt and curse again, like a hedgehog. At that time, when someone said that you were 'Zhang Qian's class and other traitors', I wanted to see what you said. I really didn't expect you to be so honest. ”

Today's period of silence in the court was almost caused by everyone thinking that Liu Yu would choose to reply.

Not only the emperor, but also many ministers at today's court meeting were also puzzled in their hearts.

The words said later, such as Wenjing Hanwu and the like, were already beyond the emperor's expectations, but I really didn't expect Liu Yu to learn to endure it.

Liu Yu thought about Tian Zhenyi's admonition in his heart, and had already made a draft before coming to Beijing, and at this time he began to slowly brew his emotions, and a strange look appeared on his face.

He thought that this look should be three points guilt, three points shame, four points powerlessness and confusion.

But after all, his expression was not so natural, and his expression looked like constipation.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The minister thought about his previous actions, and he was really a little ashamed. Since the time when Jinshuiqiao asked the right question, until last year, the minister ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said sincerely: "After the minister finished speaking, please don't laugh at Your Majesty." ”

The emperor smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"Yes. Before the minister, I always thought that the minister's idea was right. At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I couldn't help but feel that I was right, and then others were wrong; If you are faithful, you who oppose yourself are traitors; What you want to do is beneficial to the Celestial Empire, and if others oppose it, it will be harmful to the Celestial Empire, so what is it if you are not a traitor? ”

"It's only in the past few years that the ministers have figured it out, there are so many talented people in the world, Your Majesty is wise and martial arts, how can there be only a few loyal ministers?"

It is nothing more than the minister who thinks that it is right, and those who oppose the minister naturally think that they are right. They all want to share your majesty's worries, but the route is different. ”

Therefore, every time the minister thought about it, he felt ashamed when he thought of the reckless appearance of his youth. At that time, I always felt that I was a loyal minister, and if you opposed you, you would be a traitor, and I would see that I would not fight you......"

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha......"

After laughing for a long time, he glanced at Liu Yu, his heart is really like this, the young man's heart, which one didn't come like this?

How did he know that Liu Yu was deliberately pretending to be a second teenager in the past, and he couldn't help but think of some naïve thoughts when he was the prince, and then thought that he was more than forty years old in the blink of an eye, and that day was gone, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

recalled the time when Jin Shuiqiao asked the right question, thinking that Liu Yu was clever and besieged the Rakshasa Castle, and then thinking of acquiescing to the death of the entire family of the Black Mountain and White Mountain faction when he was leveling Junggar......

When Liu Yu said this, the emperor was quite able to understand Liu Yu's thoughts.

When I was young and crazy, I always felt that what I was doing was right, so wouldn't others be wrong?

"You, you...... You know your problem doesn't stop there. ”

Liu Yu pretended to be surprised, knelt down and said, "Please give your majesty advice." ”

The emperor didn't let Liu Yu get up directly this time, pretending to be unintentional, but said with a smile on his face: "Your problem at that time was not that you thought you were right and others were wrong. It's that you think that you are smart in the world, and you can think of ways that others can't think of, or others don't understand, so when you do some things, you will always think about cutting first and then playing. ”

"People like you, I don't blame you, I just think: I do this, it is beneficial to the society and the king, so I will do it first."

"I also thought at the time that you were a young man. But now it's different, knighted, and I'm going to be in charge of big things in the future. Although no one can control your whale sea festival envoy, but you are the youngest festival envoy in this dynasty. I feel that I want you to go through the experience again, sharpen and sharpen your mind. ”

"You can say this today, I am very relieved, and it can be said that I live up to my heart."

"How can things in the world be black and white? Let's just say that today in the court, those people attack you, isn't it because they are firm in their hearts and think that they are right, so you are wrong? They think they are loyal ministers, so aren't you traitors? ”

"I'm not a faint king, is it possible that there are always half of the traitors in the court? You can figure this out, and it's not in vain. Sharpening and sharpening, there is always a benefit. ”

"There's nothing wrong with thinking you're smart. I'm afraid that I think I'm smart in the world, and everyone else is stupid. ”

This can be regarded as a beating or a round, which made Liu Yu pretend to be frightened, and kowtowed: "It turns out that Your Majesty has known for a long time." It's just that...... It's just that the minister dared to ask, the minister was so stubborn at the beginning, and His Majesty also thought of it, why didn't he mention the minister? ”

The emperor laughed and said, "Hahaha...... What's the use of mentioning points? Everyone has a young age, and I was also young. Who in the world doesn't have parents? Didn't Yiguo Gong mention you? It's just that when you are a teenager, no matter how much your father, father, and teacher say, what's the use? There are some things that you still have to think about for yourself. ”

"The ancients said: It's not too late to make amends. You can figure it out now, I said it 10,000 times before, I'm afraid it's useless, it's up to you. ”

After that, the emperor thought of a joke, first asked Liu Yu to get up, and then said: "I know very well that you are dedicated to the East, the South Seas, and the Navy. I'm afraid that if these things are done now, I feel that it doesn't matter in the future, anyway, everything that should be done has been done, and I will simply be detached, and learn from the old man at a young age? ”

It's just a joke, and it's not funny at all. Liu Yu laughed twice, and said in his heart, where is this?

It's just that what Nanyang has to do after that, I'm afraid that there will be no common language between us, rather than this, it's better to pretend to be honest and tremble for a few years.

"Your Majesty...... The minister's thoughts and worries, whether it is the East or the South Sea, are all for the sake of the society and His Majesty. ”

The emperor is still laughing.

"I know it. If not, I will cherish your talents and beat them up. Can't I even tell the difference between good and bad and loyal traitors? ”

"In the past, you didn't want to be in the court, you just wanted to go out and do things. I also thought that you were young and frivolous, and you were going to quarrel in the court, so why don't you go out and do some practical things. Now that you have thought clearly, when the Nanyang affairs are certain, you will enter the court, experience a few more years in the court, and learn some skills in the court. ”

"You, you will only do things outside, but you will not do things in the court. Now I just learned to endure, but it is not enough, I also need to learn how to do things in the court to be of great use. ”

This is big, and it is naturally said that it is as big as entering the Heavenly Blessing Palace.

The emperor quietly mentioned that Liu Yu must be allowed to enter the court in the Nanyang affairs, which is equivalent to collecting military power.

Liu Yu understood in his heart, but as if he didn't care about this matter at all, he said: "The minister really still doesn't understand the court's way of doing things, and he really lacks experience. Your Majesty is discerning, and the minister has been thinking about this issue in recent years. ”

"Whether it is the minister going to Yongning Temple, or the small station training, or the Weihai exercise navy...... Everything the minister does is from nothing. There is no one to hinder him, His Majesty has unlimited trust, and it is up to the minister's own temperament. ”

"If you think about it carefully, the minister has never tried a thing that has a voice of opposition, nor has he ever dealt with a complicated thing that is not something from scratch."

"Even if the minister is appointed by His Majesty as the envoy of the Whale Sea, there is almost nothing to do in this Whale Sea. If it is like a barren land, you can do what you want, but the real difficulty is to get rid of weeds in the good and bad, and this kind of ability is still far behind. ”

It's not all false, it's at least six percent sincere.

The emperor nodded slightly, and his heart was indeed like this. These things from scratch, you can do it without worry, there is always someone to open up; But there are disputes in the court, opposition everywhere, and constraints everywhere, and you are still far from how to get things done from the chaos.

Thinking that when the South Seas are calm and the Celestial Empire is stable, there are too many complicated things in the world, and there are too many things to change. Thinking that he is over forty years old, he must finish many things before he dies, and once the South Seas are pacified, the navy is built, and there is no longer a threat around, then it is time to concentrate on it.

People like Liu Yu have the courage to be aggressive, but the enthusiasm is a little too aggressive, and they are definitely usable when used in development. But in the future, it will not work to do this again, it will be easy to break just after the pass, and I am afraid that there will be a big incident at that time.

Thinking about the changes in the future, the emperor asked, "Tan Zhen once told you about scrapping and changing to shipping." He gave me a note and mentioned it. You are the most determined in the DPRK to abolish the transportation and change to sea transportation, and he will say in the court meeting this time, and I am still worried that you will come up with some fierce words when the time comes. I still think about it, I'm afraid that there will be a real fight in the court when the time comes...... If you think so now, I'm relieved. ”

The envoy of Jiangsu Jiedu did not write a letter to Liu Yu, but asked people to pass on the message, and did not avoid people. It was also mentioned in the recital to the emperor that it is one thing for the emperor to see it or not, and whether he cares or not; It's another thing not to mention it yourself.

Liu Yu must be resolutely in favor of shipping, this is not a secret, the emperor and even the court know it.

But Liu Yu's words were too ugly before, and he had sprayed more than once in the emperor's recitals before, saying that the officials along the way were deductible, but those officials said how much good it would be to the country......

It's not wrong to say this, but when these words are spoken, the scene is not easy to clean up. Opponents, for whatever reason, do not want to bear such a reputation.

The emperor left Liu Yu today, and originally wanted to talk to Liu Yu about it: when Tan Zhen talked about it in the court, Liu Yu didn't want to follow. Until the matter of the South Seas is settled, and before there is still a threat at sea, it is impossible for the emperor to agree to change to sea transportation.

But this matter cannot be directly told to Tan Zhen, because there is no way to explain the maritime threat, and Tan Zhen is not enough to know this core secret.

It was impossible not to allow the ministers to argue, because the emperor thought that when the affairs of Nanyang were resolved, he would solve the big problem of Caoyun. And before that, it needs to be taken out every year to stir up the heat, and it can't be silent. The courtiers have to feel that the emperor is wavering, and some people are aware of the emperor's heart, and there is a wave of them every year.
