Chapter 70: A Gentleman and a Courtier

"Don't worry, Shang Gongzi has agreed before he leaves, and he will invite us to meet him at a later date." Xiang Xiao Madam answered Zhao Wu Zhengqing's question.

"It's really estimated that I don't know, Yiga Boy Zhong will be sharp, we are a few years old, empty time, read poetry and books for half a lifetime, but it is difficult to find the real chapter, it is really worthy of being the first!" Zhao Wu sighed, very self-reproachful.

"Brother Zhao, why is this? We are humble to learn, no matter how old or young, we can get from the real chapter and go further! Xiang Xu figured it out, and persuaded Zhao Wu and said, "It's like Ji Yu's father, Yan Zi, who often takes Ling and Yu as teachers, learns the art of accommodation, takes the true and pure source, and uses it to the court and admonishment, and often sees miraculous results." ”

"Yes? How can you see it? Zhao Wu was curious about what he could learn from a little kid and use it in his business.

The year before last, Qi Linggong liked women to show off in men's clothes, causing the people to follow suit. The Linggong commanded the officials to forbid women outside the palace to dress like this, and they said: 'Whoever wears men's clothes will break her clothes and cut off her belt.' Even if a woman walks into the streets every day and gets torn in clothes, she can't stop it. When Yan Zi saw him, Linggong asked him: 'I have decreed that women are forbidden to wear different clothes, and there are many people who lose their shirts on the street, so can they ban it?' Yan Ziying said: "The daughters of the king's palace may wear men's clothes, but they do not want people outside the palace to wear different clothes, as if I wanted to open a shop on the street for market meat, and because there was a cow's head hanging on the door of our shop, and the horse meat sold inside the door was exactly the same!" The king only needs to know the 'upward and downward effects', and forbid the wind in the palace first, and he can prohibit the rebellion of the people's different clothes. Sure enough, according to his plan, the palace is clear, the people are clear, and after a month, there is no such thing as a ban. He can tell that taking the market meat as an example, it is because Ji Yu and Ji Ling, two brothers and sisters, often go to the market with two domestic servants to sell meat, and listen to the folk saying 'hang the cow's head to sell beef' to show its truth; ”

Xiang told the little lady that she had heard Yan Zi's two domestic servants and couples who were responsible for taking care of Ji Yu and Ji Ling who often came to give meat in exchange for books, which Yan Zi had learned from the two brothers and sisters, and now they have learned and sold it, and they have used it very well.

Yan Zi in the mouth of the two loyal servants, never thought that he was not tall enough and inferior, but it was especially easy to play with the children, mingle, really a childlike and witty "minor" appearance of adults, when he took on the country's great weapon, he was always confident, calm and steady, and was valued by the monarch of Qi.

"Yes! As far as the people in the street say, 'hang the cow's head and sell horse meat', it turns out to be a family! Zhao Wu had also heard of such a saying among the people, but he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship.

"If there is a chance, we will also invite Yanzi and our three brothers to sit down and drink tea and pour down the tea, which is like a sigh first!" Xiang Xu suggested that the juniors have a party, and the heads of their families should often walk around each other more, so as not to be abandoned too far by the juniors!

"Wow!" Xiang Xiao Madam also agreed, "I will talk to Ji Yu with Ji Yu, and I will agree on a good day to agree that Brother Yan and your three brothers will come together to sit low, drink, and admire the moon." As long as you and the three brothers set a date first, I will let them know. ”

"However, the Linggong has passed away, and the Zhuang Gong is newly established, this June Gengshen Day, he and Lu, Jin, Song, Wei, Zheng and other monarchs have completed the alliance with the Yuanyuan, and when the Yan brother of the Ga system is the busiest, the new lord will not reuse the old ministers, and they need to plan well!" Doctor Xiang thought about the recent political affairs and was worried about Yanzi's current situation.

Xiang Xutong, as the minister of the court, puts himself in his shoes and can understand Yanzi's recent difficulties better than others. At the critical time of the replacement of the old and new monarchs, there are still too many things for him to deal with one by one, not only to teach Qi Zhuang Gong how to be the king of a country, but also to prevent his position from being replaced by new blood in the process of personnel change, after all, the matter of "a gentleman and a courtier" has been staged too many times, and the prince Ya and the ministers Su Shawei, Gao Hou and others have also been on the "blacklist" of the new monarch early and have been killed one by one.

Besides, when Linggong fell ill last year, the minister Cui Shu secretly welcomed Gongzi Guang of the year and later Zhuang Gong back, and took advantage of Linggong's critical illness to set up Gongzi Guang as the crown prince. And Gongzi Guang's mother, Shengshengji, is the concubine of Yan Yiji, a woman from Lu State, whom Linggong originally married.

The dispute between the prince has always been a "you die and I die" style.

Among the concubines of Qi Linggong, there are Zhong Ji and Rong Ji, and Rong Ji is especially favored. Zhong Ji is the biological mother of Gongziya, and she entrusts her son to Rong Ji. Rong Ji also had no children, so she asked Gongziya to be the crown prince, and Qi Linggong agreed.

Zhong Ji knew the general situation and persuaded Linggong not to do this, at that time, Gongzi Guang had been made the crown prince and had already participated in the princes' alliance as a prince. Now if you want to do nothing and disobey the law, the king will regret it.

However, Qi Linggong insisted on going his own way and said: "The abolition is all in my words!" So he moved Gongziguang to the eastern border, renamed Gongziya as the crown prince, and appointed Gao Hou as the Taifu and Shushawei as the young master to jointly assist Gongziya.

With this experience, after Gongziguang later killed Rong Ji, he went to the court to vent his anger. Of course, this move has also been criticized as impolite.

The crown prince was finally killed in the hill of Judou, and since then Zhuang Gong has no one to worry about. Sitting in the new country, the king's heart is unpredictable, how can Yan Zi not tremble and worry?

In fact, the one who can better understand Yan Zi's difficulty is Zhao Wu, originally in the era of Jin Mourning Gong, he was already prosperous in official fortune and had a bright future. He is only in his early 30s, but he only lives below Xun Yan and Shi Kuo. And Xun Yan is approaching his twilight years, and Shi Kuo is also over half a hundred years old, he and Han Qi, who is in his 20s, are ready to assist the 27-year-old Jin Mourning Gong together, and realize the great talent in the next half century, and continue to maintain the hegemony of the Central Plains. If it weren't for that, Xiang Xu and Xiang Xiao Lady would never dare to propose to let the two sides of the former struggle sit together and talk happily.

"The world is unpredictable! Don't force it, don't force it! Zhao Wu sighed.

A great country has the prestige of a great power, but it also has the difficulties of a great power. As one of the two tyrants, Zhao Wu lived cautiously in the Pinggong era, just like the silence when he escaped a difficult life in life, many times, he was willing to introspect himself, whether he was not good enough.

The Song State is a small country, and Xiang Xu only asks for the second "Soldier Killing Movement", so he feels that he has a clear conscience, and he does not have too many burdens of a big country, but lives a lot more freely.
