PS: What are you asking for today? …… You still have something to give, I want everything!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

has the talent of a traitor, the ability to govern the world, and the courage of a fierce general, but he is not afraid of the power of the emperor, nor does he care about the high-ranking officials. Can such a person still use it? Can you stay?

The emperor heard the words of the crown prince Yunshan fog cover: "Father, the poetry is cloudy: the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." If this Yang Zhi is really as his father said, then ...... How can I, Great Xia, tolerate him? The sons are dull, and they hope that their father will teach. ”

The emperor called Ma Cheng noncommittally: "You go to the court room to pass on my message: I occasionally feel unwell today, and it is inconvenient to go to court early." Civil and military officers may refer to the Cabinet Officers and Privy Councillors at their discretion. Heng'er, follow me to the imperial study, and I will have a heart-to-heart conversation with you today. ”

It is said that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, since he was a child, in Zhao Heng's mind, the emperor is like a peerless peak that can only be looked up to but cannot be reached, which makes him both respectful and afraid, how can he ever have a father-son family relationship? Today, in order to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with him, the emperor did not hesitate to stop for a day, and his heart was as ecstatic as turning over the river and the sea.

The father and son came to the imperial study, and the prince retreated according to the emperor's orders, and strictly ordered no one to disturb each other. The emperor took out a confession and handed it to the crown prince: "This is the confession that the Duke of Qin secretly submitted after the robbery and killing of the Qin caravan a year ago. According to Yang Zhi and Xu Wenhan's style, you should also have a similar confession there. ”

Xu Wenhan expected at that time that the prince would be like a treasure when he saw the confession, so that he could use it as a trump card to defeat the enemy by surprise when he had a head-on conflict with King Ning in the future. At this moment, when I saw the confession, I was immediately disappointed: the treasure I carefully kept was like waste paper, and Yang Zhi was so cunning!

The prince admitted for a while that he didn't deny it, and he didn't know what to say with a face full of embarrassment. The emperor had a rare sincerity and gentleness: "Heng'er, being a good emperor is actually an extremely bitter errand, especially for the king of a powerful country in troubled times." I won't talk about Yang Zhi today, I'll talk about you first. ”

"You are diligent, benevolent, and attentive to state affairs, and I see it in my eyes. I know what you're thinking and worrying about. I might as well make it clear to you that I have not changed my mind, but you have no faith yourself! ”

The emperor's words directly hit the sore spot in the prince's heart, and he was almost so aggrieved that he burst into tears: "Father, the son has a clear conscience, and he doesn't dare to think about anything else." ”

Don't dare to think about anything else? So what are you wronged about? The emperor ignored him and said to himself: "In order to stabilize the country, all dynasties have respected Confucianism as the royal way, and governing the country is actually a legalist. If the words of the king of Yun and the king of the earth that you said before were placed in the prosperous era of Qingping, it would not hurt to say it. ”

"But now it's a troubled time of the jungle!" The emperor's words changed, and his eyes gradually became cold: "Don't you hear that there is no kind of appearance, and those who are capable deserve it?" If you have faith in yourself and can see things as you see as a man sees things, why should you be so anxious to live in fear of being replaced? ”

The crown prince never imagined that the emperor would say such a straightforward and thorough topic that must not be humane, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to interject a word. The emperor said expressionlessly: "Now I will talk to you about Yang Zhi again." ”

"At the beginning, Yang Zhi helped the Qin clan to resist robbery and killing, because there were goods worth 20,000 taels in the caravan, so he had to do it. Afterwards, he blackmailed the Qin family with compensation six times the original price, not because he was greedy for money, but because he saw that the background of the matter was deep and did not want to be involved, and he intended to use this to dissociate himself from the Qin family. Your second brother thinks that this person is available, so he is eager to recruit him. But he greatly underestimated Yang Zhi's ability, making him disgraced and bored. After that, I was afraid to pursue it, and I didn't dare to act rashly. ”

Later, in order to protect himself, Yang Zhi resolutely moved to Chang'an with the Qin family. He inadvertently befriended Xiao Wu, but he didn't have the slightest hint of flattery, and never mentioned the political affairs of the court. When I went to the Qin Mansion to meet him in the name of a private visit to Weifu, I was also proud and did not kneel without timidity. If he cares about fame and fame, how can he be so lazy? If I hadn't forced each other again and again, I'm afraid he would have been so blindly messing around. ”

Zhao Heng gradually heard the point: "According to what my father said, when the forbidden army camp was competing in the school field that day, Yang Zhi also deliberately lost to Geng Chao?" ”

The emperor said coldly: "Geng Chao once personally admitted to me that Yang Zhi's attempt to take his life was only within a few dozen moves. He didn't kill Geng Chao because he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, and because the war with the Turks was imminent, he was afraid that I would have no generals. I look at Yang Zhi as if he is lazy, but he is a person of affection and sex in his bones. Otherwise, he would not have had to sacrifice his life to fight in the desert, let alone go to the Turkic court to assassinate the Tuodu Khan. ”

Zhao Heng was shocked and said, "It turns out that the rumors outside are true?!" Father, Yang Zhi's move caused the Turkic chaos, which is a great credit to my Great Xia! ”

"That guy had already thought that he was alone in the court, and there must be someone who made an excuse that there was no way to verify it. If I really want to investigate, it will also make it difficult for me to live a good life, so I just vaguely mention it. ”

The emperor took out Yang Zhi's secret music and threw it in front of him: "But he didn't hide it at all. That guy seems arrogant, but in fact, every step is extremely accurate. The Great Xia kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, and I can't wait to pocket all the heroes in the world. Now is the time to employ people, how can I severely punish Geng Chao and others for a son of a man with an unforgivable sin? Yang Zhi calculated that I needed a step down, and he didn't want to be in a high position without roots and foundation, putting himself on the cusp. ”

"That guy's words on the Golden Palace yesterday are quite intriguing: a little bit of merit can be rewarded and punished. If it is meritorious, it should be rewarded, so how can it be punished? Many of his actions were intended to show me again and again that he had no intention of being an official and had no dissent. Not to mention anything else, just with his song "Serving the Country with Loyalty" yesterday, how can a person with ill intentions be able to do it? ”

The emperor sighed: "I ask myself, in fact, I owe him a lot. Except for two empty titles, I have not even been rewarded with a decent mansion. Shen's unprovoked humiliation was also a stimulus to him, if he hadn't come back from the dead, who could have predicted what would have happened in the future? He demanded a million silver compensation in front of the Manchu Dynasty yesterday, which was deliberately told to me. He was reminding me that it was far better to make those illusory and useless gimmicks than to give something really useful. ”

Seeing that the prince's eyes were dizzy and dizzy, he couldn't help frowning slightly. continued: "The so-called tolerance is great, and no desire is rigid. Yang Zhi is shrewd, and he can't be fooled casually. Yesterday, he was so perverse, he refused to let me take advantage of his self-confession, and forced me to cut him down and take the title to resist the crime of Geng Chao and others, so that I owed him a great favor! ”

The emperor said this, and Zhao Heng suddenly realized. It's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years!

The emperor patiently continued his teaching course, and said with a sneer: "As a king, there are some things that can only be said but not done, and some things that can only be done but not said, depending on how life is most beneficial to oneself. Another way of saying that those who achieve great things are unruly is to do whatever it takes to achieve an end! I often encouraged my courtiers, saying that it was all for the sake of Great Xia. But why do you let the family do everything for the sake of Great Xia? Can't he be for Beiyan and Nanchu? Or even for himself? Actually, this sentence is designed for me and you, father and son! ”

"Yang Zhi has no two minds at the moment, and I also appreciate and value his talents. That being the case, why can't I, Great Xia, tolerate him? Why can't I use him? But this person is like *, and I will not use him easily unless it is a critical moment in the future. Usually, as long as the monarch and the minister are at peace, then everyone will be fine. ”

He smiled and said, "Today, the father and son are right, as long as you walk out of this door, I will not admit it." My words have come to this, what to do, you must have a good idea. After this incident, you don't have to worry too much about Yang Zhi, you can treat each other how you want, and I will naturally take care of this guy slowly. I am not the only one who wants to get Yang Zhi, I don't want others to get entangled with him, I must let him stand on his own. In the next few days, you will send someone to find a suitable mansion, and I will reward him. Remember: don't be afraid to spend money, the rules of the mansion must be inferior to any prince in Chang'an City! ”

Zhao Heng nodded again and again in fear, where did he dare to interface? The emperor's meaning couldn't be clearer: from now on, even you, no one will want to fight Yang Zhi's idea, only my emperor is qualified to use him!
