Chapter 331: Uninvited Guest
Since he can't get the beauty anymore, then in the next time, he will have to concentrate on dealing with the government and preparing for the realization of his great wish to benefit the people.
And at this time, if he can invite that virtuous person to assist him, then what he does next will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Thinking about Shen Mengxian made me feel excited, and I couldn't wait to meet him.
"Where is he now? The king himself went and called for him. "When it comes to talents, Shen Mengxian can't be lazy.
Now that he has no beauty, his family must do something in political affairs. And only talented people can help him.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that this person will have hidden dangers for us in the future?" After thinking about it, Shen Xinze was still a little uneasy.
After all, this is a person from another country, and if he is invited over so rashly, I am afraid that if something really happens in the future, that person will defect, and at that time, the situation for them will be extremely unfavorable.
Shen Mengxian is bent on recruiting talents, and Shen Xinze can understand that kind of urgency, so now that Shen Mengxian has forgotten to think, then he has to remind him by his side, lest something really happen in the future, it will be too late.
"It's better to wait and talk about it later." It wasn't that he really wanted to be suspicious of the man, but it was always good to be on guard and be careful. So Shen Xinze still thinks that maybe this matter should be slowed down.
It's about giving the other person time, and it's giving them time.
After all, the other party has just resigned, and he may not want to devote himself to business so quickly, or he may not be able to accept another king soon.
Therefore, they might as well take it slow and give themselves more time to examine him and determine if he is the person they want.
"Don't wait, Xin Ze, you've been observing for so long, you should know better than me what kind of person he is." Shen Mengxian couldn't wait, he wanted to invite him over now, be his prime minister, and let him work together for the happiness of the people of Lanling.
Moreover, he also believes in that person's character and talent, only in this way will he "eye" him for many years, and now that he has the opportunity, then he must hurry up and invite him over, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.
"Virtuous and virtuous talents prove to be rare talents, and this is how many kings are eyeing talents." Because of this, as soon as Shen Mengxian got the news, he wanted to invite him over immediately. Even if it was eight sedan chairs, he had to invite them in person.
"The loss of this virtuous talent is that he Mo Xuanyin does not know how to cherish talents, since this is the case, then we should cherish talents and benefit the people." Regarding the recruitment of talents, Shen Mengxian didn't want to delay, otherwise, if he hesitated, then those talents would be recruited by others.
At that time, didn't he lose more than he gained? So in this matter, Shen Mengxian is unwilling and will not delay.
"Your Majesty, if the two countries provoke a war in the future, you are not afraid of ......" Shen Xinze reminded that it is not impossible for the two countries to provoke a war.
Once a war is provoked, if that person sticks to his position and continues to serve their country, then Shen Xinze has nothing to say.
But if he's ...... Shen Xinze didn't want to think like this, but the reality was in front of him, and he had to take more precautions. If it really comes to that time, the other party remembers the old love and betrays them, then they ......
Shen Xinze didn't dare to imagine that kind of picture, he just wanted Shen Mengxian to think clearly about it now and do it again, so that it would be too late to regret it then.
"There's not going to happen like that." Shen Mengxian was determined. Since he wants to benefit the people, he will not provoke wars and confine the people to misery.
"I also believe in him as a person." For talents, Shen Mengxian firmly believes in his character.
Shen Xinze no longer spoke, since this is the case, then it will be up to Shen Mengxian to go, the words have already been said to this point, and he has no reason to stop it.
"Please Mr. Dongfang to come with me to Lanling Kingdom." Shen Mengxian said respectfully, looking at Dongfang Yi, waiting for his answer.
Dongfang Yi was really a little surprised by Shen Mengxian's sudden visit, but after hearing his words, Dongfang Yi instantly knew his intention, and he couldn't help but feel a little incredible.
"Does the emperor know who I am?" Dongfang Yi did not agree immediately, but asked Shen Mengxian another question.
After all, Shen Mengxian is a person from Lanling Kingdom, he can't and has no reason to agree immediately, and although he is free now, after all, he was still working for Mo Xuanyin a few days ago, so he can't agree immediately.
And he doesn't know where Shen Mengxian's heart is now, if he comes to invite him, he just likes his talent, then he would rather not go.
"Naturally, Dongfang Yi, I want to ask you to be my prime minister and work for me." Shen Mengxian directly explained his intentions, for this kind of smart person, Shen Mengxian knew that he didn't have to spend much time dealing with him, and he couldn't play any tricks in front of him.
Otherwise, the result will be counterproductive, and then when the time comes, he will lose more than he gains.
Recruiting talents depends on a sincere heart and sincerity, only sincerity and sincerity can make talents for their own use, please Dongfang Yi is even more so.
"Why?" Dongfang Yi asked, he wanted to know the real purpose of Shen Mengxian asking him to be prime minister.
Because of the previous term, Mo Xuanyin had already disappointed him, so Dongfang Yi had already made a decision in his heart that he would not be an official easily, involving the government and politics, because he didn't want to be sad and sad anymore.
"Together for the benefit of the people." Shen Mengxian looked at Dongfang Yi with a firm gaze and a sincere tone.
"Okay." Dongfang Yi immediately agreed, because he knew that a person's eyes could not deceive people.
The firmness of Shen Mengxian's eyes made Dongfang Yi immediately know Shen Mengxian's sincerity, and also knew that he really wanted to benefit the people.
Dongfang Yi's purpose is to serve Mingjun and benefit the people together, since Shen Mengxian can take him to achieve it together, then this is something he can't ask for, what reason does he have not to agree?
"Mr. Dongfang, please." Hearing that Dongfang Yi gladly accepted, Shen Mengxian was overjoyed and immediately invited Dongfang Yi back to Lanling to be his prime minister.
Gu Xiwu carried a basket full of flowers, fruits, and some paper money, and then left the bustling street market.
Walking slowly alone, today, is the day of her parents' sacrifice, thinking of going to see them, Gu Xiwu's heart became heavy for no reason.
There was no carriage, Gu Xiwu walked slowly alone, and he was not in a hurry. It doesn't matter, now that she is already unofficial and light, she can take her time. If it were in normal times, I was afraid that I would have to go and see it in a hurry, and then return in a hurry!
It's not the usual day of sacrifice, and there are very few people in the imperial tomb, but it's okay, it's a little more pure, and she can talk to her parents well.
"Dad, mother, I'm here." Helping his parents' tombstones out of the surrounding clutter, Gu Xiwu can finally sit down and talk to them properly.
"Are you blaming me for not being here for so long?" Speaking of these, Gu Xiwu's heart was a little sad unconsciously, and she always felt that she owed her parents.
At the beginning, she promised to accompany her parents as long as she was free, but after so long, she came to see her parents only a handful of times, which was pitiful, so how could she not feel guilty.
"Don't talk about this, Dad, Mother, I'll tell you something happy!" Gu Xiwu wiped her tears, she didn't want to make herself uncomfortable by talking about these unhappy things, and she also made her parents worry about her.
"You know what? Mo Xuanyin and I have already reconciled, so I am now free. Gu Xiwu told her parents about this happy thing with a smile, but she smiled and laughed and unconsciously left tears, and her heart was very bitter.
"Dad, mother, I'm just happy, I can finally do what I want to do." Gu Xiwu choked up and said, she finally got the freedom she dreamed of, how could she not be happy?
Guarding in front of the monument of his parents, Gu Xiwu chattered with them, and unconsciously, time passed little by little.
"Okay, Dad, Mother, it's not too early, I'm going to go first." Unconsciously, Gu Xiwu has been chattering with her parents for a long time, and at this time, it is time for her to leave.
"I'll come back to see you next time." Gu Xiwu finally bowed in front of the tomb, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Gu Ye walked carelessly, and somehow, he walked to the imperial tomb, Gu Ye only felt a little unlucky, turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped at the next moment.
That's it, it's already here, so let's take a look, maybe it's already destined in the dark, God wants him to see his parents.
Step by step, Gu Ye walked along the stairs, step by step, his steps were sluggish, making people only feel that Gu Ye was powerless.
After taking a few steps, Gu Ye stopped, panting, and now, his body was already much worse than before. After resting for a while, Gu Ye continued to walk, and suddenly saw Gu Xiwu, Gu Ye immediately stopped, looked at Gu Xiwu, and remained motionless.
Turning around, Gu Xiwu saw Gu Ye standing not far away at a glance.
Gu Ye stood leaning against the pillar, his face was a little pale, his hair was scattered, and his scarlet eyes looked extremely haggard.
How did he end up here? Gu Xiwu wondered in her heart, and why was she like this?
In Gu Xiwu's impression, Gu Ye should be arrogant and domineering, such a haggard appearance is really rare.
But why is he here?
Gu Xiwu didn't move for a long time, just looked at Gu Ye like that, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, Gu Ye, is he here alone?
It's a bit unusual, but it's also one of his daily styles, and it's not surprising that he doesn't play cards according to common sense.
