Chapter 35 The Family and the Country
Yang Lu sat down again, took the handkerchief given by the eunuch behind him, wiped his hands and said, "What kind of tricks are Zongxue going to do this year?" ”
Zhao Gui thought for a while and said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave heard that the eldest prince and others are conceiving a set of defense strategies for the northern frontier of Daguang, and the third prince has drawn up an evaluation of the people's disaster relief, and the children of the other royal families also have a lot of new opinions. ”
"Hehe, on paper, not only talk about the army, but also talk about political affairs."
Yang Lu waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Gui, who wanted to speak, and said with a smile: "This is also what the group of retainers they raised did and I can't understand it anymore, and I basically don't do anything else every day except how to sit in my father's position." ”
Zhao Gui bowed behind, not daring to answer, most of the things in the capital could not escape the eyes of the emperor's secret guards, and even more so the emperor's ears.
"How is Yang Yi studying in Guozi?" Yang Lu suddenly asked.
Zhao Gui replied: "The Nine Emperor Princes have been studying in the country, and they are no different from ordinary people. ”
"Huh? Tell me everything you know. ”
The emperor will not deal with everything, as the permanent guard of the imperial secret guard of the intelligence agency, except for some highly confidential things that need to be reported directly to the emperor by the secret guard, most things will be received by Zhao Gui, integrated, and then wait for the emperor to ask himself or select and report to the emperor.
The investigation of the Nine Emperor Princes Yang Yi is not an important matter, compared to finding out why the Nine Emperor Princes have recovered from their illness.
Therefore, the imperial secret guard's monitoring of Yang Yi is not strict, but only has some superficial understanding.
For example, Yang Yi and Li Yan of the Guohou Mansion, Wang Feijiang of the Military and Political Embassy Mansion, and a poor student are very close, and rely on the power of several people to live a very comfortable life.
Here the imperial guards made a mistake, they only judged from what they saw on the surface that Yang Yi was parasitic under a few other people, and did nothing.
It's not that the imperial guards are derelict in their duties, the imperial guards have a lot to do, they always need to use the smallest strength to control the entire huge imperial capital, and they want to treat a huge imperial city as a young and beautiful girl, stripped naked for the emperor to appreciate.
The order that Zhao Gui handed over to them was to investigate the cause of the recovery of the Nine Emperor Princes, and the focus of such an order could not be clearer.
According to the memories of Imperial Doctor Xue, who had been hidden for many years, the Nine Emperors did suffer from severe cold and was terminally ill.
Who would have thought that overnight, the Nine Emperor Princes would suddenly recover from a serious illness without warning. This made Imperial Physician Xue very ashamed, thinking that he had made a big mistake in diagnosis, and later resigned and retired to his hometown not long after. Since then, the Nine Emperors have been like a different person. ”
Yang Lu was a little curious: "You mean that Yi'er is a blessing in disguise and uses illness to get sick?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the slave thinks that this possibility is the greatest, and it seems that only this can be explained."
Yang Lu nodded, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad for his son to recover from his serious illness.
At that time, Yang Yi was identified as an infatuated child, which made him very painful, and later it was rumored in the palace that Yang Yi was an ominous person, and the rumors of the plague god forced Yang Yi's mother and son to a dead end.
The emperor knew better than anyone that these rumors must have been deliberately committed by someone, and his huge harem had always been extremely dark.
Since ancient times, the open and secret battles in the backyard of the palace have always been an important play on the historical stage. In order to achieve political goals, anything can happen, and such an outrageous thing as changing the tanuki for the prince can become a fact, not to mention that Yang Yi was indeed a fool at the beginning, and his political opponents had countless ways to suppress him.
A fool himself has lost the capital to fight for the throne, without capital, he naturally can't get any political resources, without political resources, even if there is an emperor as an umbrella, you may still be bruised by the storm.
The emperor chose to retreat and put Concubine Ning and Yang Yi into the cold palace to minimize their threat, so as to eliminate the persecution of their mother and son by various forces.
"I was sorry for Concubine Ning back then......" Yang Lu said a little sadly.
As the first person in the world, but unable to protect his wife and children, this is a very painful thing.
Zhao Gui comforted: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, Concubine Ning will definitely understand the emperor's good intentions." ”
Yang Lu shook his head: "Ning Fei is very virtuous, I know she will never blame me." But Yang Yi ...... When he came to see me that day, although he showed his respect for me, I could feel that he looked down on me as a father in his heart. ”
"Your Majesty ......" Zhao Gui almost fell to his knees crying, and he could also feel Yang Lu's helplessness and sadness.
Yang Lu smiled bitterly, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little: "I won't blame him, and I am not qualified to blame him...... Now they can live a normal life, this is providence, I will open the door for him, and it is up to him to go wherever he goes. ”
This is the sorrow of a dutiful father, the sorrow of an unqualified husband. The country and the family, the family and the country, anyone can separate them, but the emperor cannot.
Although Yang Yi can't say that he hates the emperor, he won't talk about the relationship between father and son, even if he is not an outsider, he will definitely not have much feeling, a person who has ignored himself and his mother for more than ten years is no different from strangers.
He doesn't think about what is difficult like his mother, he feels that he is not the emperor, he doesn't need to think about things from the emperor's point of view, and he is even more glad that he is an ordinary person, he only needs to understand the common feelings of people.
So when he read a book about governing the country and leveling the world, the scorn was obvious. Are the five moral constants of "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" really correct? Yang Yi didn't believe that an unfilial person could have a great sense of loyalty. To put it palely, how can a person who doesn't even know how to serve his parents serve the emperor who is not related to him much? This is a progressive rather than a relative.
"Learn to be filial, only then can you know how to be loyal"
Of course, this is just Yang Yi's family words, the master of Guozixue has never asked Yang Yi to read this kind of book, they always feel that Yang Yi is more suitable for copying as a theory, copying over and over again, it is best to copy it for a lifetime.
Yang Yi is a hot potato, this is the consensus understood by many people who know Yang Yi's identity, in today's extremely tense moment when the form of the court is extremely tense, no one wants to approach a stupid prince who has no purpose, and bring unnecessary trouble to himself.
In addition to Li Yan, Wang Fei will be such ignorant people, because they feel that they are fearless.
"Hey, Boss Nine, when are we going to do it again in Chunxiangyuan?" Spa "Huh?" Li Yan is very nostalgic for the massage methods taught by Yang Yi to prostitutes. The painful gnashing of teeth, but the feeling of feeling comfortable from the heart is really unforgettable.
