Chapter 703: I can't help myself
"You know well, you can eat whatever you want, it's all according to your temperament." Lu Yan also knew that his wife was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, so he didn't say much, but just ordered the people next to him to prepare what Zhu Mingxi wanted to eat.
Zhu Mingxi and Zhong Qi were talking to the two of them, and this time it seemed to be chatting, and the faces of the two of them became good-looking, and they couldn't see the contradictory look just now.
Si Si looked at the two of them like this, and sighed a little in his heart, oh my God, this is the power of falling in love!
"By the way, what were you two just muttering over there? Why did you say it for a long time? ”
Si Si didn't think about it, the two of them were over there just now, and now they were discussing something, their faces were a little solemn, and they asked with some curiosity: "Is it a very important thing?" Can you let me know? ”
"It's really important." Lu Yan nodded, and then said: "But you are already my wife, it doesn't matter if you know, aren't the two of them planning to go back to the capital?" Now the situation in the capital is quite good. ”
"The previous Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, and the Emperor Taishang has ignored political affairs and gone to the Summer Palace to recuperate for the rest of his life."
"It's just that now the ministers of the court are divided into two factions, the new faction and the old faction, the old faction is the generation of the emperor, they are all old, pedantic and stubborn, the new emperor every time he wants to implement some new policies that benefit the country and the people, when he needs to reform, his old things will jump out to oppose it, saying that a large number of people who know it, in short, they don't want their position to be shaken, a group of moths who only know the scourge of the country."
When Lu Yan said this, he seemed to be a little disgusted, pursed his lips disdainfully, and then continued: "But since the new emperor can live in that position, in addition to the credit of the queen's mother, he is also very capable, secretly supported a large number of people who support him, and replaced the important positions in the court with his own people, and firmly controlled the government in his own hands, and by the time those old ministers came back to their senses, it was already too late. The entire court has become the new emperor's hall. ”
"And then, and then, what are those individuals going to do? What kind of means did they come up with? Si Si asked curiously, although he didn't know much about these political things, but it didn't prevent him from listening to these things with the feeling of listening to gossip, which was actually quite interesting to think about.
"What are you thinking?" As soon as Lu Yan saw the illness, he knew that his little lady must be crooked, and he reached out helplessly and rubbed her cheeks, and then said: "The general trend has gone, those old things, no matter how much they are demons, they can't let out any waves, one by one, or they just can't bear this breath, resign and go back to their hometowns to retire, or they will completely become a transparent person above the court, except for some trivial matters that are not very important, important things really can't be intervened anymore." ”
"Isn't that nice? Isn't the position of the emperor more and more consolidated? What are you two frowning about? I thought something terrible had happened! ”
Lu Yan shook his head, and said with a heavy face: "But although it seems that there are a lot of benefits to doing this, it also brings a lot of disadvantages, when the emperor promoted those courtiers, it was just because he needed them, he didn't think much about it, and wanted to consolidate his position quickly, but those new courtiers are not fuel-efficient lamps, although they are following the emperor's will on the surface, and they look like they are doing their duty for the emperor, but behind the scenes, they are doing some things that harm others and benefit themselves." ”
"The emperor actually knows what they have done, but this job can't be sent to them, at this time, his position is consolidated, and he still needs these young talents, so he can only endure it, and he can only wait until the emperor cultivates a real group of his own henchmen."
"That's right!" Zhong Qi suddenly interjected and said: "I will go back in such a hurry, also because my father urged me, probably because of this matter, although my father is old, but he is not a stubborn person, on the contrary, he is very interested in the policies proposed by the new emperor, and he also knows that the emperor is in a difficult situation now, so he wants to ask me to go back, train me well, and become the emperor's right and left hand in the future." ”
Lu Yan nodded, and then continued: "Not only Zhong Qi, but also Wei'an and Zhou Bowen, you must know that the two of them have already been decided when the emperor was still the prince, and they will become the emperor's people and the emperor's henchmen in the future. If nothing else, the two of them should be preparing for the county test next time, and then they will go to the meeting test immediately after. ”
"Originally, I planned to let the two of them study for a few more years and settle down for a few more years, but now I think I don't have this time."
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard the news that his child was mentioned, Si Si couldn't help but be a little worried at this time, and hurriedly asked: "How old are the two children, and they went to the county examination at a young age, can they pass the exam?" If you can't pass the exam, won't it be wasted, is the emperor's plan? ”
Moreover, in fact, Sisi also has a little selfishness of her own, she doesn't want her children to get involved in this muddy water.
"About ninety percent can be admitted, the emperor deliberately let Old Man Yao go to the White Crane Academy, specifically tutoring two people to study, and after a while, Old Man Yao has already nodded and said that he is taking a Jinshi or something, it should be no problem."
"But after all, Wei'an and Zhou Bowen are still young, if they really pass the short-sightedness test, the emperor will inevitably use the names of the two of them to operate, and it is also possible to install a young champion and a young man to explore flowers or something."
"It's okay to explore the flowers, but it's not good if the champion is not good?" Si Si said with some hesitation, she has been here for so long, and she has heard that in recent years, the champions in the court are generally middle-aged people in their forties, who are full of knowledge and have been admitted to the champion several times.
