Chapter 379: Big Fish and Small Fish
Of course, the so-called gold pot is not a real pot, but the gold is real, one by one in the box, under the candlelight, the light is dazzling, and when it is exchanged for silver, I don't know how much it is worth, and the onlookers are all moved, and even the emperor can't help but nod. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chao Whale was disappointed, "It turned out that it was just gold used to 'make pots', not good gold pots, it's really ...... Alas, such a big person, such a big official, didn't even make his words clear, which made me happy in vain. ”
"Since you don't like it, it's better to stay." Han Ruzi raised his foot and kicked the box gently, but the box did not move at all, and it was quite heavy.
Chao Whale hurriedly said: "I like it, who said I don't like it?" Your Majesty has promised to leave this gold to me. ”
"Perhaps, what I said maybe, you don't always modify your memories according to your wishes." Han Ruzi corrected.
"Oh, so I can only see who the gold belongs to." The whale lost hope again.
Han Ruzi smiled: "It depends on you who the gold belongs to." ”
"It turns out that Your Majesty is going to arrange a task for me!" Chao Whale finally understood.
Han Ruzi put away his smile, "The task is very simple, go and ask Zhongshu Province for ten times the amount of gold, whatever means you use, the gold that will come later will be handed over, this box will belong to you, if you don't come, this box will also be confiscated." ”
"Ten times, isn't that ......" Chao Whale gestured twice, "Your Majesty really wants to build a golden house?" ”
"Go ahead." Han Ruzi did not explain.
Chao Whale responded, looked at the box of gold, and reluctantly left.
Han Ruzi waited for a while, and said to Jin Chunzhong, who had been by his side, "What's the news?" ”
Jin Chunzhong knew that what the emperor coveted was not gold, so he took a step forward and replied: "I inquired with the two people in the camp that Zhao Ruosu greeted a person two streets away that evening, as if he was the first to speak, so he should recognize this person, and then took the initiative to leave with him, without resistance." ”
Han Ruzi snorted, angry in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Zhao Ruosu once stood up in Jincheng, but many officials did it at that time, he was not the most prominent person, and when he resigned and planned to concentrate on serving the emperor, he touched the interests of many people, so that he disappeared.
It was this that made Han Ruzi angry, he could tolerate the slackness, indifference, stupidity, and even corruption of officials, but it was unforgivable to prevent someone from approaching the emperor.
Han Ruzi has a deep understanding of the difficulty of selecting people, so no one is allowed to block the road to becoming a virtuous person.
"Do you want to continue to investigate?" Jin Chunzhong asked, he can only find out this point at present, and if he continues to investigate, he must use the power of the government.
Han Ruzi shook his head, "No need, if Zhao Ruosu can come back alive, everything is easy to say, if he is dead, hey, I want to hear who can explain all this with 'rules'." Jin Chunzhong, you go to see Nan Zhijin and scare him. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Xian looked puzzled, not too understanding the purpose of this move.
"Normal scare, when he is an unlucky petty official, don't let others think that I value him very much."
Jin Chunzhong nodded, "Understood." Then he stepped back and called for someone to come and carry the box away.
Han Ruzi sat alone in the study, really wishing that Yang Feng was by his side, he could ask, should the emperor play tricks with the ministers? But he is faced with a paradox: the imperial power must be carried out through layers of officials, and cracking down on officials means abolishing martial arts and leaving officials to do their own thing, but the execution ability will become worse and worse, and even distort the emperor's original intention......
Han Ruzi once again remembered his grandfather Emperor Wu, the lonely old man, who killed heroes and ministers, and sons in his old age...... seems to have fallen into a state of madness that doesn't trust anyone, after really becoming the emperor, Han Ruzi can understand Emperor Wu's mood more and more, but he never wants to follow in his footsteps, he has to be more careful and rigorous in handling the relationship between the emperor and others.
He asked people to find Meng E, who was the only one who could be told.
"Your brother's whereabouts are unknown, Yishi Island is falling apart, it is said that some of them joined the pirates, and some of them took refuge in Yun Mengze, it is impossible to restore Chen Qi, you still have to insist on learning the art of ** king? Where is it used? Han Ruzi asked a little cruelly, he wanted to shred the illusion of his dreams.
Meng E was not shocked by this, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is a puppet and can still hold on when you are hopeless, and my reasons are the same as Your Majesty. ”
"Hey, I finally have the name of an emperor, what do you have? The descendants of Chen Lun, King of Qi? It's useless, the Chen family has long been forgotten, only the people on Yishi Island still believe it, but they hit their heads and bleed in the first incident, and after three years, they will pay an even heavier price. ”
Han Ruzi set a goal, after the completion of the ship in three years, he could launch a large army to exterminate the pirates, as for Yishi Island, it was just one of the many pirates.
Meng E looked at the emperor, her eyes were calm, her face was not shocked, she was always like this, but today she was especially calm, "If Your Majesty is not the son of Emperor Huan, if I am not the descendant of Chen Qi, then what ordinary people we should be." ”
Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while.
"So the 'fame' is not all bad, Yishi Island believes in the prestige of the Chen family back then, thinking that more than a hundred years later, it will still be able to respond to the Qi country, but it turned out to be a fiasco, this is a lesson, but it also tells me a truth: there are always people with dreams in this world who will be used by me, and there are always people who pursue fame and fortune for Your Majesty. Your Majesty's methods are more mature, so I want to learn from Your Majesty. ”
Han Ruzi was stunned again, and the prepared words disappeared, and he sighed lightly, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a very good mood." ”
"Your Majesty doesn't need to apologize for anything, I am a descendant of Chen Qi, my relatives and friends are all rebels, Your Majesty can keep me by my side, which shows trust and magnanimity, and for this alone, Your Majesty does not need to be sorry."
Han Ruzi smiled, calming down, "I'll stay in the study tonight, and you stay." ”
"There is a concubine waiting for Your Majesty in the bedroom."
"It's not me she's waiting, it's the emperor who can make her conceive a child, so, let her wait, everyone is waiting, even me is waiting, their waiting is just a trivial matter."
Meng E went out and asked someone to bring the sleeping gear.
Han Ruzi lay down, his mood was no longer turbulent, but he didn't feel sleepy, half talking to himself, half saying to Meng E, "One word, one call...... How many emperors ascended the throne with such a dream, only to end up defeated? You are also reading the history books, the emperor always worked hard in the first few years, and then slowly became listless, some held on longer, some held on shorter. ”
"Emperor Wu held out for a long time." Meng E said that Emperor Wu had reigned the longest, and his official record had not yet been completed, but there was a first draft, and with the help of the emperor, Meng E was able to get a sneak peek.
"Well, but I always feel that Emperor Wu is also the most disappointed, he repelled the Huns, defeated the heroes, and shocked the ministers, but in the end, he still feels that he is 'alone', and so many victories have not satisfied him."
Meng E waited for a while before saying, "Maybe Emperor Wu still wants more victories, maybe he feels that those victories are not as good as he imagined, after all, the national power of Great Chu began to decline after that, and Emperor Wu probably noticed it at that time." ”
"Hehe, Yang Feng said that I don't need to ask him for advice anymore, you can learn by yourself, I think you can also become a teacher. We're all going to be 'alone', Meng E, no matter where you go in the future, as long as you become an emperor - it is said that in some places women can also be called kings - you will face the same problems as me. ”
"I'm waiting to see what His Majesty will do."
"You can't be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, the big fish will run away, only the ignorant small fish will be left, you have to wait patiently, wait for the biggest fish to take the bait, and then take it in one fell swoop, no matter how long you wait, it is worth it than harvesting a basket of small fish."
"What about the rest of the fish?"
"Raised." Han Ruzi said coldly, fishing after raising it is the insidious side of the emperor's technique.
"Is there no way to make the officials and the emperor think the same way?"
"Yang Feng said a very interesting sentence, 'A person can be selfish, but not so selfish that he thinks others are not selfish', I now understand the meaning better, when I am a puppet and a tired marquis, to be honest, I hope that the more chaotic Dachu is, the better, because only then can I have a chance to regain the throne, and the fact is also true, without the ambition of the Cui family and the Shangguan family, without those internal and external troubles, I am either honestly a tired marquis, or hiding in the border for refuge. But when I become emperor, I hope that all problems can be solved as soon as possible, and I hope that the more peaceful the better. The status has changed, and the thinking has also changed, which is my selfishness and the minister's selfishness. ”
Meng E thought for a little longer, and then said: "What the minister wants is fame and fortune, some people have already got it, some people are chasing, some people are very satisfied, and some people are disappointed, everyone's selfishness is different, and the idea is naturally different from the emperor." So what to do? Just let the minister be so 'selfish'? ”
"Let different people do different things, let those who have fame and fortune have been obtained and are satisfied let him keep it, those who are ambitious and are chasing let him forge ahead, and those who are disappointed should beware."
Saying what was in his heart, Han Ruzi felt a lot more comfortable, tomorrow morning, he can get up again with fighting spirit, he is the emperor after all, in the struggle with the minister, he occupies the right time and place in advance, as long as the command is right, he can always win.
The sound of the piano came at this time, melodious and tactful, but Han Ruzi was not moved, he just thought it sounded good, and soon sleepiness hit, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When the piano stopped, he didn't notice it.
Meng E, who was sleeping at the door, got up quietly and quietly walked to the couch, it was dark in front of her, but she knew that the emperor was close at hand, and slowly stretched out her hand to find his breath.
She found it, paused for a moment, and retreated to her bed.
She loves the night and gives freedom because it covers everything.
The next evening, after the nobles and scholars who were discussing the meeting said goodbye, Chao Whale immediately jumped in, and his face was red with excitement, "It's coming, it's coming, and you'll send it to me in three days!" Ha ha! It's all gold. ”
Han Ruzi also smiled, Nan Zhijin was indeed a key figure, and his misfortune was the emperor's luck. (To be continued.) )
