Chapter 954: A Story About My Father

Wu Yinyu always felt that there was something unusual in her father's words, and she rarely saw Wu Yiyi really happy for so many years, even if he was smiling, there was melancholy in his eyes. She knew that her father had been like this since her mother's death, but she always felt that her father's depression was not just because of her mother.

Wu Yiyi, who was slightly drunk, was really happy today.

There was joy at the corners of his mouth, and there was joy at the corners of his eyes.

"Did something happen?"

Wu Yinyu couldn't help but ask.

Wu Yi glanced at her, lowered his head and smelled the aroma of wine in the cup: "I always thought you were still young before, and I always felt that you were still young." I don't want to tell you anything, even after your mother died, I didn't shed tears in front of you, and I don't talk about it often...... I think that all fathers in this world should be like me, they don't want their children's childhood to be sad, and they all want their children to be happy and safe. ”

"But I'm not too young now."

Wu Yinyu pouted.

"yes...... In a flash, you're already so big. ”

Wu Yi sighed slightly, but not sadly: "Actually, since you were devoted to Fang Jie, I knew that you had grown up. But do you know what my father's biggest reluctance is? It's better to count the days when your daughter gets married......"

"Daddy......"

Wu Yinyu screamed, the corners of her eyes a little moist.

"It's okay, I'm just happy today."

Wu Yiyi rubbed Wu Yinyu's head: "For so many years, I have always hoped to give you the best life, a better life. Sometimes when I feel tired, I think, every father is fighting for his children, why do you feel tired? Every time I think about it, I know I don't have the right to run away. You know, my father was never a good man...... This is the fairness of the world, other people's daughters, although they are poor, can hold their chins high and proudly say that my father is a good man, but you can't. ”

"My father was a good man! I know! ”

Wu Yinyu said loudly.

"I forgot ......"

Wu Yiyi sighed with emotion: "No matter what kind of person the father is, he is a good person in the eyes of his daughter." ”

"But I'm not."

Wu Yi leaned back and sat more comfortably: "The reason why I tell you this is because you have really grown up and can distinguish between right and wrong, and know good and evil." My father has the current knighthood and wealth, and it is not because my father is a good person, and there is no pure good person in this world who can achieve great success. ”

"But I know that my father is a good man!"

Wu Yinyu said stubbornly.

"I'm not a good person, but I'm not a heinous person. How so...... I'm just a bad guy with my own bottom line. ”

Wu Yi smiled and said to Wu Yinyu: "This must be admitted...... In fact, it is not easy to do this, if you want to become a human being, you still want to be a good person, this is the most difficult problem to solve since ancient times, I can't do it, and no one will do it. If you are in a high position, it is very good to be a bad person with a bottom line. I don't want to speak ill of your sweetheart, but Fang Xie is a bad guy with a bottom line, just like me, but his bottom line is different from mine. ”

"His bottom line is his heart. And my bottom line is you. ”

Wu Yi looked at the sky: "Think about it, when the first emperor asked me to prepare for the world, I never thought that from the first day I took over this errand, I would not do things for the first emperor." Yu'er ...... You're grown up, I'll tell you a story about me. ”

Wu Yinyu subconsciously sat up straight, waiting for Wu Yiyi to continue.

"The world has changed...... The winds of change. ”

Wu Yi rubbed his eyes, and the slight cloudiness in his eyes seemed to have been precipitated there by everything he had experienced over the years. Occasionally, when I think about it, those precipitations will appear in front of me like a scene.

Chang'an City

Tai Chi Palace

East Warm Pavilion

Yang Yi opened the thin booklet in front of him, looked at the names recorded on the booklet, and frowned slightly. On the cover page of the booklet is written three words, Chu Cai Lu.

He had just succeeded to the throne, and there were very few names recorded in this book. The emperors of the Great Sui have always had a rule not to become, and every emperor will have such a book of talents. And after the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, the old emperor's Chu Cai Lu and the new emperor will read it carefully, but he will never let his Chu Cai Lu have the same name as the old emperor's Chu Cai Lu.

The new emperor knows very well that what is his own is his own.

This is nonsense, but in the eyes of the emperors of the Great Sui, it is definitely not a nonsense. That book of Chu Cai Lu actually records the history of the Great Sui.

Yang Yi frowned because he felt that there were too few people available now. It was a coincidence that he was able to inherit the throne, no one was optimistic about him when the princes seized the throne, if it weren't for the last moment of the seventh Yang Qi guarding the city gate, he would not have the throne today.

Because of this, there are really very few people he can use. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all divided into gangs and gathered around other princes, and the most trusted person around him was naturally the seventh Yang Qi. However, how can only Lao Qi do it alone? After ascending to the throne, Yang Yi realized more and more that he could not maintain his position as emperor without a group of real henchmen.

is the sixth Yang Yin, and his connections among the courtiers are much stronger than him.

"Your Majesty should promote some people around you, because Your Majesty, you don't know about the courtiers, but you know everyone around you."

Bingbi eunuch Wu Peisheng saw Yang Yi frowning, and couldn't help but interject.

Su Buxing, who had been standing behind him with a slight bow, frowned slightly, and seemed to disagree with Wu Xiangsheng's rash words. But he was brought out by Wu Peisheng, and on this occasion, he couldn't remind Wu Beisheng of what he had already said.

For this new emperor, Su Buxing always felt that he was different from the first emperor. During the reign of the first emperor, Wu Peisheng has been highly used for so many years, because he has a pair of eyes that can see through the thoughts of the first emperor, and if the first emperor has any troubles, Wu Beisheng can see it at a glance, and then in a very short time, he can think of a way to come up with ideas for the first emperor.

The new emperor has ascended the throne, but Wu has clearly not withdrawn from his previous role.

So Su Buxing was a little worried, it seemed that the new emperor didn't like to talk very much, his slightly square face was more resolute than the first emperor, the corners of his eyebrows were a little high, and there was always something gloomy in his eyes. Looking at his face, Su Buxing knew that the personalities of His Majesty the Emperor and the first emperor were definitely different. The first emperor likes to discuss with the people around him, and even if he doesn't adopt it, he will listen to it more. But the new emperor seems to be ...... Prefer to think for yourself and then make your own decisions.

Su knows that this is not just an innate character. That's because this new emperor has a different experience from previous Great Sui emperors. In the past, the Great Sui Emperor was the strongest one when he was a prince, and a large number of courtiers gathered around him on weekdays, and it has become a habit to listen to other people's suggestions. And the new emperor is different...... Before him, he was not the strongest prince, but one of the people gathered around the most powerful prince.

Because of this, the new emperor must lack some self-confidence in his heart.

And the less self-confident people are, the more assertive they are.

In other words, the new emperor doesn't want people to see his jokes, he doesn't want people to look down on him, so he has to do a few big things on his own to make people recognize his abilities.

Because of habit, Wu Xiangsheng gave advice to the emperor.

He didn't see the fleeting displeasure in the new emperor's eyes, Su Buxing saw it.

"Someone around?"

Yang Yi asked unconsciously, but Su Buxing could see that the emperor asked this completely because Wu Baisheng was a trusted eunuch of the first emperor, and the new emperor would not show his indifference to the important ministers of the first emperor at this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your people."

When Wu Xiangsheng heard the new emperor ask himself, the pride in his heart made him forget his vigilance.

"Your Majesty is only a first-class treasure, and you don't know much about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and how many of those courtiers are available is still to be discussed, and the most important thing for Your Majesty now is to sort out the people in the original palace and promote those who can be of great use. The old men in His Majesty's original mansion are especially usable. ”

The princes seized the heir, even if Yang Yi was the one who seemed to have the least chance of becoming the emperor among all the princes, there were many spies sent by other princes in his mansion, there was no doubt about it. These people can't see the problem on the surface, but Yang Yi is sure that few of the people in his house are really clean. And Wu Baosheng obviously understood this, so he mentioned the old man in the house.

The old man, naturally, does not refer to the older people, but the group of people who have been in the house for the longest time.

According to the etiquette system of the Great Sui, after the prince tied his hair, he had to open the palace, and most of the people in the palace were rewarded by the emperor when he was crowned king, except for those who followed and served at the beginning, and how many of these people were arranged by other princes, it can be imagined.

"By my side...... There are few old people. ”

Yang Yi shook his head, as if he was a little distracted.

Wu Beisheng then remembered that this emperor was the most peculiar one when he was a prince. is the most taciturn, and he has no hobbies, he is very frugal in food and clothing, and the number of people in the palace is also the smallest among all the princes. Even the first emperor didn't seem to like this son very much on weekdays.

However, it can also be seen from this that a wise emperor chooses a successor not only because he likes it or not.

He doesn't like Yang Yi, just because Yang Yi's personality is too withdrawn and feminine.

And this kind of character seems to be more suitable for being an emperor.

……

……

"Master"

Coming out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Su Buxing whispered to Wu Xiangsheng: "You seem to have said a little more today...... This new master doesn't seem to be much different from the first emperor. ”

"Many?"

Wu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "It's my negligence, but it's okay if it's too much." Now in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who doesn't look at my face and do things? You, after so many years of following me, you haven't changed your cautiousness. Let me tell you, even if Your Majesty doesn't like me, it is impossible not to use me, because I hold too many things in my hands and are too heavy, and Your Majesty's use of me is equivalent to taking the things of the first emperor smoothly. ”

As he paced forward, he said, "We are subordinates, and this must be remembered. But you can't be too arrogant, the power and responsibility of the eunuchs in the pen are great, which of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military does not know? In contrast, I am a subordinate, and those courtiers are subordinate. So what I say and do, as long as it is not excessive, Your Majesty will not be fine. ”

Su Buxing said in his heart that he hoped so, and then said that he hoped that he would not be implicated by the old eunuch in front of him who was becoming more and more arrogant in the future.

"By the way, you go and find out who that Wu Yiyi is."

Wu Beisheng remembered the name that Yang Yi mentioned just now, and felt very unfamiliar: "I have already understood the people who were reused in the palace by Your Majesty, but I don't remember that there is such a person as Wu Yiyi...... Except. ”

Su Buxing nodded: "I know, I'll do it when I go back." ”

……

……

A man who looked to be in his thirties was cleaning the courtyard very seriously, the owner of this courtyard had become the emperor, and most of them followed into the palace. And he was an inconspicuous one in the palace, so there was no doubt that he was left to guard this courtyard. And he didn't show anything because of this, as usual, got up on time, ate on time, and then cleaned the yard and tidied up the room.

Scrupulous.

"Wu Yiyi"

Someone called him at the door: "Hurry up and change your clothes!" Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace! ”
