Chapter 671: Two Brothers
It's almost the end of February, and the days are getting longer and longer.
I can feel a chill when I wake up in the morning, and the temperature has begun to warm up near noon.
In the Hibiscus Palace, the beautiful woman is practicing calligraphy, with sharp and beautiful handwriting.
The straight back, the casual and imposing posture, and the slender hand turning the pen powerfully all show the noble atmosphere around this person.
Ye Hanji came in at this time, watching the beautiful people with red lips and white teeth practicing calligraphy, and stood beside her silently and watched.
When she put down her pen, she said in a low voice: "There is wind and bones, chic and happy, good words!" ”
Chu Yuxi was so frightened by the sudden voice that he almost dropped the ink on the paper, and looked at him with a sigh and a little dissatisfaction.
Said helplessly: "Why are you here?" ”
There should be quite a lot of official documents recently, and I thought he was staying in the imperial study and rarely moved around.
Ye Hansi pinched the tip of her round and cute little nose, and her sharp eyebrows and eyes seemed to be softer: "I wonder if Concubine Chu is free to go out to the lake?" ”
"Okay." Chu Yuxi knew that he was definitely going out to meet people.
But at this time, you need an excuse to go out of the palace, and it is a good reason to accompany your concubine to the lake.
The two cleaned up, pretended to be an ordinary scholar couple, and took people out of the palace.
In the eastern suburbs of Beijing, there is a Qingwan Lake, which is famous for its elegant scenery.
When you arrive at Qingwan Lake, the breeze sweeps the surface of the lake, the aya waves are dotted and rippled, and the West Mountain not far away is the background, and the mountains and rivers are very charming.
The pavilions and pavilions on the lake are also very exquisite, and the corridor waist is mangyback, and the eaves are high pecked.
Because this place was contracted by wealthy merchants in time, the owner was very tasteful and did not like to be too lively.
Someone has to write a letter of recommendation to enter, so the people who come here are either rich or powerful.
The beauty of nature and the harmony of man are manifested.
The gourmet pastries served here are also delicious and exquisite, with a pleasing combination of shape and texture.
Facing the comfortable breeze on the cruise ship, eating some sweet pastries and drinking some refreshing wine while enjoying the scenery, the comfortable Chu Yu was almost like a lake tour.
Until Chu Yuxi noticed that a ship was approaching them, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.
I thought it was passing by, but I didn't expect it to slow down so slowly, no more, no less, just stop next to them.
On the board of the boat, the two sons and brothers in dark blue clothes shook their fans and drank, and there was no shortage of chic and graceful.
Yahanji whispered a few words to the boatman, who shouted at them with a bottle.
The simplicity of the dialect between the words: "My son-in-law has a saying, and he has a small relationship with the two sons, so he will give a pot of wine, and hope to accept it." ”
The two sons got up and saluted with a smile with Ye Hanji: "Thank you Childe for your kindness, this dish of food was prepared by Neiko, and Childe will enjoy it together if he doesn't dislike it." ”
His words and deeds have the feeling of an elegant scholar, which is somewhat similar to the current temperament of Ye Hanji.
But in the end, the similarities are not the same.
After all, after being the emperor for so many years, even if the momentum on his body is restrained, there is also a domineering spirit that is inadvertently leaked.
During the interaction between the two sides, Chu Yuxi also understood that this might be the person to meet today.
simply greeted people, sweet and generous and elegant: "The concubine can talk to the husband and the two very well, if the two sons don't like it, they will come to our boat to chat." ”
A slightly young man in blue smiled: "The beauty invites each other, but it is disrespectful." "Love me
The two of them arrived at the ship and entered the cabin.
The cabin, which was originally wide and even somewhat empty, felt full after sitting four people.
After entering, the straw mats on both sides of the cabin were lowered, as if it was a little hot, but in fact it was to isolate the view from the outside.
The cabin became the first time when it was closed, and the two men in blue saluted Ye Hansi: "The grass people have seen the emperor and Chu Guifei. ”
Chu Yuxi, who was fast, was slightly surprised, but she didn't expect them to know about her.
glanced at Ye Hanji, and talked about business, what did she do with the guests?
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a little warm sweetness, and Ye Hanji smiled with her before waving his hand to call the two up.
The slightly younger boy in blue said cheerfully and vigorously: "Cao Min Zeng Cheng, next to me is my brother Zeng An, the two of us are fortunate to win the top 30 of this Spring Festival, and they actually got the favor of the emperor." ”
In contrast, Zeng An seemed much calmer, and his elegant temperament was more obvious, and he nodded to them again.
Originally, it was mainly to make eye contact with Ye Han Si, but after noticing the attention that Ye Han Si had deliberately revealed, the two of them reacted quickly and introduced the current situation to Chu Yuxi.
There is no contempt at all, and it makes people feel comfortable like a spring breeze.
However, Chu Yu nodded dutifully and looked at Ye Hansi.
Ye Hanji sat upright and waved his hand to signal that they didn't have to be restrained.
Naturally, there is a natural momentum: "The two of you can just talk casually, have you heard that the Prime Minister and the monk have suggested reusing your remarks, do you know why?" ”
Zeng An's face was more serious, and he nodded: "I can probably guess that it is an innovation proposed by my two brothers." ”
Ye Hansi rolled his eyes, and the smile on his face did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "Do you know that since ancient times, none of the reformers have ended well?" ”
Hearing this, Zeng Cheng laughed first.
Youthful spirited, fearless and fearless.
The whole person seemed to be able to shine: "If the reform is thorough, it will touch some things with vested interests, but what is the point if the reform is not thorough?" ”
The words are ordinary and plain, but they make people's blood boil.
Chu Yu couldn't help but glance at Ye Hansi, the choice of these two people was very crucial.
Since they came out to meet in person, it means that these two people will have an important and key position in the court in the future.
A look of satisfaction flashed across Ye Hanji's face, and he said, "Tell me about your direction and suggestions for me towards reform. ”
Zeng Cheng stood up and saluted: "The grass people said first, if there is anything wrong, I hope the emperor will forgive me." Zeng Cheng thought that the sky was great in the people, and now the people's lives are better than the previous dynasty more than one level, which is the kindness of my emperor. ”
glanced at Ye Hansi, and continued: "But further down, when you go to the grassroots level, you will find that the oppression of landlords and the protection of officials are also common, which leads to our good data, but there is not much actual progress. ”
Zeng An frowned slightly, perhaps because he felt that what his younger brother said was too explicit, and added: "There is no shortage of reasons why the quality is not in place and the family style is not solid. ”
sneered next to him, Zeng Cheng said: "Brother, don't be so conservative, I didn't think about it when I wrote the article in the examination room. ”
"Well said!" Ye Hansi admired Zeng Cheng very much, laughed and said, "Then what do you think is the best way for us and what is the goal?" ”
Seeing that Ye Hansi didn't care, Zeng An also let go of his courage and said: "The goal is naturally to establish an unprecedentedly prosperous Great Yuan. ”
Zeng Cheng said: "As for the way, Zeng Cheng believes that it is natural to link the two sides from the top down and from the bottom up, and carry out the reform we want to carry out in the hearts of the people and carry it out to the end." ”
Chu Yuxi was shocked by these words, and the advanced thinking of linking up and down was not really achieved in the Republic of China after a thousand years.
And how did he think so far ahead?
