Emperor Wu is dealing with political affairs every day, and the country of Wu has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, not that this Emperor Wu is ridiculous, on the contrary, Emperor Wu is conscientious and conscientious in political affairs, and he has never slackened.

He wasn't a great monarch, but he was also a wise man.

In recent days, because of the bandits who gathered in Xiao'an to Jianyang, Emperor Wu's table was piled up, many of which were sent from the Zongfu, and what was said in it, Emperor Wu knew what it was with his eyes closed.

It was nothing more than the uproar caused by the sixth son's confiscation of the land of the old clan in Thorn Yang this time.

When Emperor Wu was immersed in reading the book, Gao Jin reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, the sixth son of the emperor is here." ”

Emperor Wu raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a figure walk into the Xuanzheng Palace, and Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Wu'er is here......"

Emperor Wu should call himself "I", call himself "I" to the eldest son, and call me to the son's letter, there are very few cases of calling himself "I", but there are also people, for example, the third prince Lin Yuyuan who guarded the northern Xinjiang, the fourth prince Lin Yucheng who went to the Jin Kingdom as a hostage, and even the fifth prince Lin Yuxing, who was injured in the Jin and Han difficulties and was difficult to leave the house, Emperor Wu likes to use "Wu'er" as a substitute.

Originally, the second prince Gongzi Xin was also like this, but over the years, Gongzi Xin has become more and more trapped in the deceit of the Wu Dynasty, which is disliked by Emperor Wu, and gradually loses the intimacy between the original father and son.

Now Lin Yuyan has also received such a title, which is enough to show that Emperor Wu is very satisfied with quelling the trouble of the Thorn Yang bandits.

"The emperor sees his father!"

Because Lin Yuyan has no official position, he wants to call himself "the emperor", not actually a "son".

"No need to be polite," Emperor Wu asked Lin Yuyan to get up, and was about to speak, when he heard Gao Jin say beside him: "Your Majesty, Doctor Li is frustrated and asks to see you." ”

When Emperor Wu heard this, he said, "It may be that Han Kui, the guard, is here, let them in." ”

Gao Jin then possessed himself and introduced Dr. Li's frustration.

Emperor Wu looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "Doctor Li, please see you today, just listen to it from the side." ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, and found a place to sit down.

After a short time, he watched Doctor Li carry one person into the Xuanzheng Palace, and Lin Yuyan realized that it would be Han Kui who was following Doctor Li's frustration.

"Minister, Doctor Li has seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu stretched out his hand and asked Fu Shou to get up: "Fu Qing get up." ”

Han Kui is the dress of the scholars of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty today, which is different from the plainclothes of the past, it seems that he really attaches great importance to today's courtesy, and it is also the gift of the scholars: "The scholars of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the guard Han Kui, have seen Wuhou." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan turned his head slightly to look at Han Kui.

Wuhou?!

How many years has it been since the martial arts practiced the imperial system, and Han Kui has traveled in the martial arts country for so long, how could he not know that saying this now is obviously deliberate.

Nowadays, the concept of the imperial system, whether in the Central Plains or in the slightly remote military country, does not give the meaning of transcending the princes and kings, and the boundaries are very hazy.

Although there are three emperors and five emperors, in ancient times, as long as a grass and a tree were used as a tribal totem, they could be called emperors, such as the Water Emperor, the Red Emperor, the White Emperor, etc.

The imperial system adopted by the Wu State is just to distinguish it from the hundreds of princes and kings of the Jing State, even in the Central Plains, most of them think that the imperial system is not comparable to the royal system, maybe similar, but in any case, it is not as good as the Son of Heaven.

"Wuhou ......" Emperor Wu looked at Han Kui and said, "This title has not been used for many years in my Martial Kingdom. ”

Han Kui bowed his head and said: "Wuguo is the legacy of the former Yongguo in the Central Plains, and it was originally the princes of Ji Zhou Tianzi, Kui really can't understand, why did Wuhou abandon the etiquette of the Central Plains and use the name of the wilderness?!" ”

When Emperor Wu heard this, he asked, "What did Han Zizhi learn?" ”

Han Kui replied: "Confucianism has a little bit of it. ”

"Confucian Scholars?!"

Lin Yuyan kindly remembered that Han Kui once claimed to be the successor of Guigu Mofa, why now he claims to be a Confucian student, but after thinking about it, Han Kui just said that Confucianism is a little better, and there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

When Emperor Wu heard that Han Kui was a Confucian disciple, he also asked, "If I use Han Zi, how will Han Zi rule the country?" ”

Han Kui replied: "You should govern the country with etiquette. ”

In the face of such clichés, Emperor Wu was also indifferently interested, and Lin Yuyan, who was watching quietly, did not expect that Han Kui's performance today was a full Confucian speech.

"If you can't be polite, how can you use etiquette for this concubine, and people know etiquette?!" Emperor Wu asked again.

"No, Wuhou heard my words, Shun was in the acres, Fu said that it was raised between the plates, the glue was raised in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was raised in the scholars, Uncle Sun Ao was raised in the sea, and Baili Xi was raised in the city, all of which were from the common people, but there were people who were kings, and there were also those who worshiped the marquis, so it can be seen that among the common people, there are many outstanding people."

"This ......" Emperor Wu was a little speechless, Han Kui's example is very extensive, and there are many identities of the common people, but there is no surprise, these are real sages, take out one at random, they are all heroes who shook the Central Plains, these words make Emperor Wu unable to refute, but in his heart, Emperor Wu does not like this kind of remarks, and always feels that it is too far from the national conditions of Wuguo.

Frustration also frowned, in his impression, Han Kui did not speak in such a compelling tone, not to mention that this time he was facing the monarch of the Martial Kingdom, not an ordinary person, Han Kui had been preparing for a long time, and he spoke so lightly, which surprised Frustration.

However, Emperor Wu will not let himself face such an embarrassing situation for too long, after all, he is the superior and has the initiative to speak: "Etiquette to govern the country, I have heard that it is Lu Zhongni (Confucius) who advocates, but I also know that Lu Zhongni traveled around the world, but none of the princes listened to his advice, Han Zi studied Confucianism, naturally he knew Lu Zhongni's talent and wisdom, did Han Zi think that he could surpass the sage Lu Zhongni?" ”

"Why not?!" Han Kui replied very confidently, and this sentence made Emperor Wu directly label him as a "madman".

Sure enough, Emperor Wu said with a displeased face: "Since Han Zi believes in etiquette, he naturally knows the etiquette of "respecting teachers and respecting the way", but with Han Zi's words, I think Han Zi is a person who is inconsistent in his words and deeds......"

Listening to Emperor Wu talking, Han Kui also nodded secretly in his heart, this Wu Hou is obviously a monarch with his own ideas, such a monarch will never shake his inner thoughts at will because of his subordinates' remarks, this kind of heart has advantages and disadvantages, weighing the pros and cons, Han Kui thinks that it is the advantages.

After listening to Emperor Wu's rebuttal, Han Kui also nodded, and then said respectfully to Emperor Wu: "Wuhou is really the lord of a country, and there is no way to refute it by Hou Ye's argument. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Wu really had the intention of winning or losing, Lin Yuyan looked at his father's raised eyebrows, and knew that his father felt that he had won Han Kui's debate, and he was slightly excited in his heart.

But...... Lin Yuyan looked at Han Kui, and always felt that Han Kui's performance today was not satisfactory, compared to the Han Kui he saw a few days ago, he seemed much clumsy today.

Emperor Wu did feel excited in his heart, but his impression of Han Kui did not change because of this, on the contrary, he was still quite bored, and even now, he just thought that Han Kui was a "mad Confucian" who sold his reputation and had no real talent.

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said: "Han Zi traveled thousands of miles from the Jin State to the Wu Kingdom to seek office, and I responded to Han Zi's sincerity, which is to give Han Zi a position as a guest in the court." ”

"This ......" Doctor Li's face changed slightly, as an old man in the court, he naturally knew who was standing in what position in the Wuguo court.

Generally, when the Ten Dynasty deliberates, in the Xuanzheng Palace, the courtiers in the front row are the three ministers and the royal son, followed by the six doctors of the foreign dynasty, and then the Shangqing and the counselor doctors, these people either hold some real power in the Wuguo, or the local powerful old clan figures, as for the guest secretary, that is, the virtual title hanging in the Wuguo court, and even what war the Wuguo encounters, the generals of the border army return to Wancheng Shangchao, the position of the Xuanzheng Hall is not enough, these people are notified not to go to the court, it can be seen that their status.

Emperor Wu gave such a dispensable position to Han Kui, which shows what Han Kui's impression of Emperor Wu is, but he didn't think much about it, after all, Han Kui's performance today was indeed not good.

However, Han Kui behind him seemed to have no objection to this, on the contrary, he continued the position of guest secretary of the court promised by Emperor Wu with a complacent expression.

Emperor Wu's curiosity about Han Kui was also to the point, and then he looked at Doctor Li and said in frustration: "Fuqing, Han Zi was introduced by you, and you are responsible for the etiquette of court officials, so you will lead Han Zi to join the company." ”

Frustrated, he bowed: "The minister receives the order." ”

Han Kui also bowed to Emperor Xie Wu and said, "Xie Wuhou! ”

The words "Wuhou" made Emperor Wu also coldly watch the two of them walk away, and when the figure disappeared from sight, Emperor Wu turned his head to look at Lin Yuyan and said: "Wu'er and this Han Kui seem to have known each other before, and they are also so rude?!" ”

Lin Yuyan smiled, knowing that Han Kui's performance may have his own deep meaning, and all talents must act differently from ordinary people, Lin Yuyan also smiled and said nothing, and did not intend to demolish Han Kui.

"Why, I heard that you received all the land of the old clan of Thorn Yang into your own household?" Emperor Wu asked.

Lin Yuyan raised his head and looked at Emperor Wu and replied: "It's not the emperor's household, it's the confiscation of these fields on behalf of the Wuguo Imperial Court, and now they are under the management of the Thorn Yang Mansion." ”

Emperor Wu said: "This time to quell the bandits, I heard that you have compiled the official mansions of Shuyang and Jianyang into your own account to listen to affairs, since this is the case, isn't the Jianyang Order also your own steward." ”

Lin Yuyan looked at Emperor Wu, and also heard that his father did not blame, so he replied willfully: "If my father says so, it can be counted like this." ”

"Millions of acres of land in Thorn Yang, such a handiwork, so far, no one in the Wu Kingdom can do it, even the Lin family."

"Father's words are wrong, the Lin royal family can't do it, but the old clan of Jianyang has done it......"

For his own emperor, Emperor Wu is not harsh, just like Lin Yuyan whipped Luo Salamander before, Emperor Wu did not scold Lin Yuyan who had just come out of the pavilion, on the contrary, he still looked serious.

For what Lin Yuyan just said, how could Emperor Wu not know what it meant, but the old clan, in the Wu Kingdom, which is now in the midst of external and internal troubles, is really unable to move.

"Don't say much about this matter for the time being, I asked you how to solve this matter, my desk has been piled up twice because of you, this time, it was sent by the sect elder in the sect, your uncle Zong, now the sect of the sect Lin Sishen has sent the news, saying that many old clans have asked the sect to hold a clan meeting, and asked the sect to make trouble to you, the sixth son of the emperor......"

"What is my father going to do? Just put the emperor ...... No, is it the emperor who has just quelled the bandits and made meritorious deeds? ! Lin Yuyan said.

Emperor Wu's tone was stagnant, now the political affairs are busy, the princes in the palace, Emperor Wu does not pay much attention, as for the six adult sons, the eldest son Lin Yuren and Gongzi Xin have been fighting for power and profit in recent years, which has made Emperor Wu bored with it, and the remaining few, Emperor Wu likes it, but for various reasons, it cannot always be around.

Although Emperor Wu is the monarch of the Wu Kingdom, he wants to enjoy some family fun between father and son after all, Lin Yuyan's words made Emperor Wu feel a little bit of the feeling between father and son.

Emperor Wu sighed slowly, faintly inaudible, and then looked at Lin Yuyan and said: "The old clan is the old clan after all, besides, this time you got all the land in the old clan in Thornyang, those old clans have no roots and no property, so naturally they want to find the sect, I heard that you still let the Thornyang Mansion cut off the Shishi of the old clan of Thornyang?!" ”

Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." ”

Emperor Wu said: "Ju Mao, is the former general of the Wu Kingdom, not to mention his outstanding achievements, although he has now retired from the border army, but the Ju clan also has many generals in the border army, among which the protégés and former officials are all over the border army, such people, I have to care." ”

Lin Yuyan nodded and replied: "The emperor knows about this, Old General Ju, I have been waiting for something these days, and when I get there, I plan to visit this old general in person." ”

"You're going?!" Emperor Wu didn't expect that his son would dare to find Ju Mao's door, and he couldn't help but remind: "This old general's temper is said to be not very good, compared to the Gou clan's patriarch, this Ju clan elder is an old general who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and his momentum is not very ...... Cozy. ”

"This ......" Lin Yuyan heard Emperor Wu say this, and immediately felt cowardly, after all, Lin Yuyan had heard Jing Yi say that anyone who went to the battlefield would condense a murderous aura on his body.

It seems that Xiang Ying, the commander of Shuyang, Yu Yan, the captain of Jianyang, and others are all veterans of the border army, even if Lin Yuyan is compared to them, it is the perspective of the superior, but even so, seeing Xiang Ying and Yu Yan fighting on the battlefield is also inexplicably palpitating, Jing Yi explained, that is murderous.

The more powerful and scheming people in the border army, the stronger the murderous aura, Lin Yuyan also knew that a former general of a martial country like Ju Mao had a strong conquest spirit, and he was afraid that the pressure caused by the explosion of momentum would be difficult for Lin Yuyan to bear.

"How...... Scared?! Emperor Wu looked at Lin Yuyan and smiled, and said deliberately: "That's not the case, the old general Ju Mao is very fond of your third emperor brother Yuan, and most of Yuan'er's military Tao Wuluo is the master of the old general Ju Mao." ”
