Chapter 230: Three Pleasures for a Gentleman
"What about your brother?" Zhu Ziming thought of entering the mansion, but he didn't see Yan Yinli, the main owner, so he asked.
Yan Yudie whispered softly: "Brother should be in the mansion, maybe it's in the practice room, and he will come out later, Brother Zhu should go to see my father first." ”
Zhu Ziming nodded and asked, "You're not going in?" ”
Yan Yudie shook her little head and said, "I'm not going in, I'm waiting outside." ”
The words of the little county lord, how did he get his father to interrogate the prisoner, Zhu Ziming was really weak when he heard it, and he walked to the door helplessly and knocked lightly, but at this moment, there was a voice in the house, and it seemed that there were other people besides the king of Zhennan.
"Come in!" A voice with a bit of majesty sounded, and then Zhu Ziming pushed open the door and walked in, what caught his eye was a small study room with reading power, the walls were full of authentic works of major famous artists, all kinds of classics were sold on the huge bookcase, and behind a wide desk sat a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sword eyebrows and high nose bridge, this person was about fifty years old, and there was a majesty of the Wang family between his eyebrows, and he must be the king of Zhennan.
And beside the king of Zhennan, there was a man in white clothes with clear eyebrows, he was about forty years old, and he had an elegant style in his gestures, he should be the adviser of the king of Zhennan.
The king of Zhennan - Yan Xuanling, is the younger brother of the current emperor, is one of the closest princes to the emperor, look at him sitting in the largest state and county of Yan - Hengzhou, you can see, and the king of Zhennan is also a disciple of a certain big sect, a high martial arts, it is said that his martial arts have broken through the sixth level, and the strength can be seen.
The most talked-about thing is that the king of Zhennan is very infatuated, whether it is the emperor or the rest of the princes, they are all wives and concubines, but the king of Zhennan has only one wife, it is a pity that after the princess gave birth to a son and a daughter, she died, and the king of Zhennan has never married a wife so far, but is a good man respected by countless women in Yan Kingdom.
This son and daughter refer to the current son Yan Yinli, and the little county lord Yan Yudie, because the two lost their mother when they were young, so the prince loves the two of them very much.
At this moment, the strategist with him didn't seem to see Zhu Ziming come in, still frowning slightly, and discussing in a low voice, the strategist thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and then said cautiously: "Lord Wang, the emperor doesn't seem to trust you as much as before Hengzhou is under our management, and it is in good order, why did you suddenly transfer the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to coordinate governance?" ”
Zhu Ziming was stunned when he heard this, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the supervisory body of Yan State, and its main responsibility is to impeach hundreds of officials, that is, administrative supervision, because it has the function of criminal justice, so it ranks among the three legal divisions, and the emperor suddenly transferred the imperial envoy, this move is really embarrassing to the king of Zhennan.
The imperial envoy supervises the corrupt officials, so the dignified royal brother, the king of Zhennan, has become a corrupt official, and he has to be supervised by a small imperial envoy?
King Zhennan's face turned pale, where did the imperial brother put himself like this? Do you have to let yourself be laughed at by the world! Yan Xuanling, who was extremely indignant, couldn't wait to shoot the case, but the emperor above 10,000 people, could he be disobedient?
"Hong Ren, what do you think I should do, do you really want the imperial brother to send an imperial envoy to slap me in the face?" Yan Xuanling said with a gloomy face.
The strategist named Hong Ren said calmly: "Lord Wang, of course this will not work, if the emperor sends an imperial envoy, the prince will definitely lose face, and he will have to be restrained by this imperial envoy everywhere." ”
"The heart of the Son of Heaven is difficult to figure out, maybe the emperor doesn't distrust the prince, but what is the reason, I don't dare to speculate easily," Hong Ren said: "The prince must be on the fold, but he can't directly refuse the emperor's intentions, and he must refuse euphemistically." ”
King Zhennan nodded: "What do you mean, Hong Ren, how should this fold be written?" ”
"Well, this" At this moment, Hong Ren was really a little difficult: "Not only do you have to rest assured that the emperor should write, but also block the mouths of the officials, it's really a little difficult." ”
King Zhennan frowned, Hong Ren, who has always been extremely wise, didn't know how to write, how to write this excerpt can smooth the heart of the imperial brother, it is really a problem, his eyes glanced at the study, and saw the black-faced boy standing at the door, and asked unhurriedly: "Nephew Zhu Xian, you must have heard our words, how do you think this excerpt should be written?" ”
This prince won't ask me to listen to what they will do at the court, right? Zhu Ziming was muttering in his heart, when he suddenly heard the words of the prince, and asked without hearing clearly for a while: "Prince, what did you just say?" ”
Hong Ren rolled his eyes, I heard that Zhu Ziming was talented, how do you look like a person who doesn't know the etiquette of the market now, the dignified prince is speaking, you didn't even hear half a sentence, and I couldn't help but despise Zhu Ziming a little in my heart.
Yan Xuanling shook his head slightly, this is the good brother in Yinli's mouth - a talented man who does not yield to any talented literati? King Zhennan looked down on him a few points at the same time, and said, "If you don't know how to write this fold, then I haven't asked." ”
Looking at their dog-eyed and low-eyed looks, Zhu Ziming felt a little unhappy in his heart, you left me hanging on the side for a long time, and now you still despise me, and you have a fork in a circle, you think I want to listen to you talk nonsense here, what kind of court matter, about my bird business?
Although Zhu Ziming was unhappy in his heart, he didn't want Yan Yinli, a good brother, to be caught in the middle, so he hugged his fists and said: "Since the prince asked, then I will tell you my opinion." ”
Seeing that he opened his mouth to say, King Zhennan and Hong Ren didn't want to listen, but the two didn't want to lose their manners, so they could only listen to it, and the prince said: "Nephew Zhu Xian, please speak." ”
Zhu Ziming thought for a while, and quickly said: "As the saying goes: A gentleman has three pleasures, but the king of the world does not exist. Both parents are there, brothers have no reason, and they are happy; Look up to the sky, bow down to people, and be happy; Get the world's talents and educate them, and the three music are also. A gentleman has three pleasures, but the king of the world does not exist with him. ”
Hearing that he opened his mouth to say that what he was talking about was the Tao, Yan Xuanling and Hong Ren couldn't help but meditate in their hearts, and under the reading of each sentence, Yan Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately patted the table, and said with some excitement: "Okay, it's good!" What a gentleman Sanle! ”
The meaning of this gentleman's three joys is that the king has three pleasures, and the royal road contains abundance in it. Parents are alive and my brothers are safe, this is the first happy thing. The upper is worthy of the sky, and the lower is worthy of the people, which is the second happiest thing. Gaining the world's talents and educating the people is the third happiest thing. The three great pleasures of kings, and the way of kingship contains abundance already in them.
