After the old man and the young man left, Wang Lanling said to Lei A: "Although these people are also guilty of crimes, they are a little different from your father, and I really can't do anything over there. ”

Lei Awen said in a loud voice: "I know what is going on, I don't need to say much, now as long as Rengui and Ah Luo can be safe, and if there is an amnesty in a few years, maybe my father and brother will be able to come over by themselves." ”

An amnesty is a nationwide decree that pardons a portion of prisoners.

The ascension of a new emperor to the throne or the establishment of a crown prince was a major event in ancient times, both for the feudal dynasty and for the common people.

At this time, if the world is amnesty, it will show that the ruler is broad-minded, benevolent and virtuous.

There is also the queen mother's birthday, six, seventy or eighty such a long life, in order to celebrate and filial piety, some people will be pardoned to be happy together, so that more people know the emperor's benevolence.

During the reign of the first emperor, there were more than 300 amnesties, and sometimes a daughter could be amnesty once, so people in various places across the country knew the benevolence of the first emperor.

Generally, people who are in prison because of trivial things, as well as those martial arts masters who are imprisoned, will squat quietly, waiting for the imperial court to amnesty.

It's a pity that the old emperor has not granted amnesty once since he ascended the throne, and he has killed many times.

It's not so much waiting for amnesty, it's better to wait for the old emperor to die......

Wang Lanling said helplessly: "Don't say this kind of thing, let alone tell it to children." ”

Lea quickly said: "Yes, I understand, naturally I will not cause trouble for the children, I understand the things that come out of my mouth, just now I just remembered those things again, and I was angry for a while." ”

There should be a lot of people waiting for the old emperor to die all day, but now the emperor's body is really hard to say, at least there is no problem now.

This year, the emperor should be seventy-six, and Wang Lanling can't judge how long this person can live.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, maybe many years from now.

This kind of thing can't be expected too much, if you look forward to the violent death of this old man every day like his son, then the psychological pressure and disappointment will only worsen day by day, and you can't survive the other party.

The first few sons of the old emperor all died of old age, which shows that being a prince is not a good thing.

The new emperor must have an amnesty when he ascended the throne, the old emperor was because he was old, and he didn't believe in this, so there was no amnesty when he ascended the throne.

Superstitious people are not necessarily superstitious about everything, the old emperor believes that it is others who break their family feng shui to make him uncomfortable, and the old emperor does not do good deeds and accumulate virtues, there is no logical connection.

If the rest of the people ascend the throne, they will pick up the system of their ancestors to prove their legitimacy, and they will take the initiative to do some benevolent things.

Whether it is to pardon and reactivate the guilty or to reward the meritorious, it is a regular practice.

The sinners who are activated will be lost after a while, and then the senior members of the court will gradually be replaced by their own people.

These are all things that have often played out in history, and they are nothing more than to unite people's hearts and strengthen their own legitimacy.

Wang Lanling didn't expect that Lei A had been thinking about this matter all the time, so he said: "You have the most knowledge here, so I will hand over some research to you, if you are tired, take Rengui and A Luo to have fun, make some snacks or toys, or accompany them to read and write, don't get bored." ”

Often expecting a thing, especially this kind of tricky question, it is easy to have psychological problems.

Lei Ah said softly: "Yes, I will spend more time with the child." ”

Wang Lanling took Lei A back to the room to rest, unlike many people, Wang Lanling didn't care about whether the old emperor died or not.

In any case, Wang Lanling's success is partly due to the old emperor.

Although Wang Lanling didn't think that the old emperor was really good to him, but before he was offended by the other party, if the other party died, then Lord Wang would still burn some paper for him.

July

"Mr. Sima, what do you think of this?"

The old prince called Sima Wenshan, and his son's teacher was naturally a famous celebrity in Tongzhou, and his wisdom and family background were first-class.

Sima Wenshan took a notebook from the housekeeper and sat there watching quietly.

At first, Sima Wenshan was calm.

After watching it for a few seconds, Sima Wenshan showed a shocked look.

Then, his brow furrowed, and his eyes looked faster than they had been earlier, as if he was looking for something.

More than ten minutes later, Sima Wenshan raised his head.

"Who wrote this?" Sima Wenshan asked solemnly.

When the old prince saw Sima Wenshan's expression, he also said nervously: "What does Mr. think of this?" Is it good, or is it bad? ”

Sima Wenshan said affirmatively: "In my opinion, it's okay, but this article is ...... The narrative is like a torrent, the writing is like stagnant water, in the pale and dead silence like autumn reeds, the dry wind on the stagnant water, and the warm wind blows a burst of smelly warm sycophants. ”

Although this article puts forward very serious suggestions and explains some problems and reasons in detail, one-third of the whole article is devoted to sycophancy.

It's still the kind of god that is easy to understand, occasionally unfathomable, and can't be found without careful thinking, patting the Jiang family's sycophants all the time, which is really insulting!

But if you have to say it carefully, you will find that every sycophant is doing practical things, and every big thing is like a sycophant.

When the old prince heard Sima Wenshan say this, he said suspiciously: "Sir, do you think this article doesn't make sense?" ”

The old prince feels okay...... He himself has read it many times, and he has always felt that Wang Lanling's article is still okay, otherwise he would not have given those valuable things to Wang Lanling.

At least, Wang Lanling persuaded him.

Now that he felt as if he had been deceived, the old prince was suddenly a little unhappy.

Stinky boy! How dare you lie to me?!

Just when the old prince began to get angry, Sima Wenshan explained: "No, this article is very well written, it is simply a textbook-level collection!" Not to mention the big plan mentioned in this booklet, this writing alone is worth learning from one or two. ”

There are people who don't want to shoot on the back, most people who don't shoot just feel that they can't do it.

As long as you understand one or two of these writings, at least when you are an official under the emperor, you will have a few more chances to survive.

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, for masters like Sima Wenshan who want to go further, this article in his hand is a treasure.

Even if you don't want to be a sycophant, you can teach your juniors how to do it and how to better understand it.

The old prince breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his several carts of gifts were not given in vain, and his face was tanned after his hard work.

Sima Wenshan asked: "Lord Wang, who wrote this article, this writing and style make me think of a person." ”

"Who?" The first thing that the old prince thought of was the real owner of this article.

Sima Wenshan said affirmatively: "Wang Lanling! ”

The old prince's body was shocked, and his eyes opened suddenly!

This is really as Wang Lanling said, his writing can be known by others at a glance!

This...... This realm...... What a wise man!
