"Yes, Nanxiyi." Liu Che nodded heavily and said.

Yan Ming lowered his head and said, "As far as the minister knows, Nanxi Yi was developed by Tang Meng. Later, Sima Xiangru was transferred to the past. The two of them, over there, should have much more influence than the ministers. They can't do it well, and I'm afraid it's out of their reach. ”

"You're too modest. These two guys will only blindly suppress hard. How can this be done? Liu Che said.

"The northeast of the minister is also developing, and going to the southwest at this time really has a bit of a taste of the opposite." Yan Ming said with a wry smile.

"I'm not letting you go in the opposite direction, isn't there still Han Yan in the northeast. When the Southwest Yi develops a little achievement, you can go back immediately. Liu Che said.

Yan Ming knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, so he frowned and said, "Your Majesty raises love, then I'm not welcome." However, the minister made it clear in advance that if the development of Southwest Yi is not successful, this black pot minister will not carry it. I don't know about that place. ”

Liu Che nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Also, Your Majesty will give me a force." Yan Ming said.

"Troops?" Liu Che was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I promise you." As long as you can develop the Southwest Yi for me. Anything goes. ”

Yan Ming smiled: "The minister won't do anything." ”

"Haha, you want a troop of soldiers and horses, don't you want to suppress those homeless criminals?" Liu Che asked.

Yan Ming shook his head and said: "To develop Southwest Yi, what is needed is to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water. The matter of building a bridge in the water is simple, but the matter of opening the road in the mountains is very difficult. What is already difficult is not the same thing if it is blindly suppressed. Give the minister a little time to prepare. It's a pity that Cloudsdale was shattered, and the gunpowder factory was gone. ”

At the mention of Cloud City, Liu Che was also distressed, shook his head and said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't rush to attack." ”

Yan Ming said: "Everything is over. It also turned out that the emperor's decision was not wrong. ”

"Besides, I haven't even seen the locomotive you built that can walk on its own." Liu Che said.

Yan Ming smiled: "I'll see it after all." If Your Majesty trusts, in a few years' time you will see even greater changes. But the premise is that education for all is compulsory. If this thing is not done well, everything else is empty talk. Education for all is more important than the development of Southwest China. ”

Liu Che nodded, Liu An is indeed not very authentic in the matter of education for all.

Yan Ming said it again now, and his face did not shine.

Seeing the unnatural state on Liu Che's face, Yan Ming smiled: "Since education for all is more important than the development of the Southwest Yi, it must be more difficult than the development of the Southwest Yi." Let's first develop the small matter of Southwest Yi. Then there is education for all. ”

"Let's do it!" Liu Che repeated softly.

This word came out of Yan Ming's mouth, and it was a big surprise for Liu Che.

This shows that Yan Ming regards himself as a friend again.

Liu Che patted Yan Ming on the shoulder and said, "Dead monkey, are you really back?" ”

Yan Ming glanced at Liu Che and said respectfully: "Whether the dead monkey has come back or not, the minister doesn't know." But Yan Ming has never left. Wherever the minister goes, he will turn everything into the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

"That's a good thing to say." Yan Ming's slightly imposing words made Liu Che's eyes a little warm.

If everyone is like this, be loyal to the monarch and the country. The big event of the Han Dynasty, why worry!

"I not only give you an army, but also want to give you the important position of embroidered clothing history." Liu Che said.

Yan Ming frowned and said, "It's not that the minister doesn't want to take this position, it's just that the compatibility between this position and the minister is not high." Last time, I was going to take this position, but because of Jiang Chong's death, His Majesty and the ministers were dissatisfied. In this matter, the minister thinks it is better for His Majesty to come in person. ”

Liu Che raised his feet and wanted to kick Yan Ming.

According to the past, Yan Ming would definitely dodge and escape. But at this time, Yan Ming just bowed slightly and did not leave the place.

"You have to do everything yourself, don't you want to be tired to death? I also need to rest, and I also need to take a holiday. Hongyantang, you have all winter and summer vacations. I'm going to take such a long vacation, too. Liu Che said like a child.

"Poof." Yan Ming couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Emperor, it was originally a tiring position. If it weren't for a fierce person like Your Majesty, ordinary people would really not be able to be the emperor. ”

Liu Che pointed at Yan Ming and smiled: "You will take me for entertainment." ”

Yan Ming Zhengse said: "This is really not a pastime. Your Majesty thinks about it, all matters big and small in the whole country, but everything that can be put on the table must be reported to Your Majesty for approval. If it is not an energetic person, who can afford to spend the position of emperor. In this position, those who are energetic and psychologically strong, it is better to say that those who are not energetic and weak in mind or weak in body are not competent at all. ”

"You think so?" Liu Che asked with a serious face.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "I have said more than once that the position of emperor is the hardest position in the world. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. In this position, you must care about the world, if you want to be greedy for pleasure, and do not seek politics in your position, you will die at least and the country will be destroyed at worst. ”

"You say that my throne is actually a profession? What kind of profession has so much power? With such a good reward as me? Liu Che spread his hands and asked.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "The emperor is just a position in the eyes of the ministers. If it is for the ministers, compared with the duties of the emperor, the little reward you mentioned is really not worth mentioning. Has Your Majesty ever thought about the serious consequences of being a bad emperor? ”

Liu Che is a smart person, and he suddenly thought of the fate of the royal family of the Qin State in the previous dynasty. There are almost no descendants of the surname Win who died.

"When you say this, the emperor is still a dangerous profession!" Liu Che said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Yan Ming nodded solemnly and said, "Absolutely high-risk occupation." Therefore, ordinary people cannot be emperors. The funny thing is that many ordinary people, or pretentious people, will covet the position of emperor. They only saw the supreme imperial power, saw the three thousand beauties of the harem, and saw the glamorous side. But he didn't expect that the emperor would have to face mountains of twists and turns every day, face real or false courtiers and so on. If you really think about this, I'm afraid that few people are willing to do this hard position. ”

Liu Che smiled bitterly, what Yan Ming said was indeed what he, the emperor, felt.

"It seems that you understand this position quite well." Liu Che looked at Yan Ming and said, "What do you think the most ideal position looks like?" ”

"Me? If I have the opportunity, I am willing to be a quiet and quiet little marquis without a fief, without any real power, and no matter anything, just a little marquis. Yan Ming smiled.

"Dream your dreams! I still want to be irresponsible, I really have you. Southwest Yi, give me a good development, maybe I will satisfy your delusions. Liu Che said.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, the gap was much smaller, and the tacit understanding had returned.
