Chapter 231: Degraded to a commoner
"Bai Ji test, Bai Ji test, you really give me a problem!" Yan Zi closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth, he really felt like he hated iron but not steel.
"I gave you a chance to mend your ways, and you made so many things for me. I think you also need to reflect on it these days, so that the guards at the palace gate are cooler, and the autumn is crisp, although it is winter, but the effect is more. Cool down can make you calm and calm, but I heard that the guard General Changtie is already recruiting, so you better go quickly, you don't even have a place to stand when it's late. ”
The implication is that he was degraded, and he was degraded from a first-class member to a small palace gate guard overnight, Bai Jikao also knew that he was guilty and didn't dare to play poor with Yan Zi, so he obediently blessed himself and walked to the palace gate.
Yan Zi looked at Lord Bai, who used to ask for the people's life, and now he ended up like this, but what else, he found that he couldn't spare such a mistake, just take a Bai Ji exam and get a better virtuous general.
Yan Zi closed his eyes again and turned around, not looking at the distant back, hoping that this would make him feel better and less sad.
There is one more thing to solve next, this Lord Liu, as the main examiner, is really a bastard to fish in troubled waters like this, and it seems that he is going to suffer a little.
Yan Zi opened his eyes, swallowed his previous love into his stomach, and then ordered someone to call Lord Liu over.
Lord Liu had already guessed that he would have such an ending, in fact, he had expected such a day from the moment he helped the two families do bad things, and today he was even more uneasy when he heard that Sheng Linsheng had asked to withdraw the Yan family from the barracks, knowing that this day would come sooner or later. But the moment of the real arrival, my heart was more open and comfortable.
Instead of hiding and maintaining one lie after another, I felt very tired, and finally one day when the lie was exposed, I didn't have to continue to make up lies, but I felt a lot more relaxed, and the burden on my body was not so heavy.
When facing Yan Zi, he confessed frankly, without the slightest intention of evading responsibility, which made Yan Zi a little relieved.
"Lord Liu, Lord Liu, I promoted you to be the chief examiner because I value you for honesty and a strong sense of responsibility. Do you still remember that Liuzhi County back then, the upright man who still insisted on asking for the people's life in a small poor place, and his iron-clad heroism made me admire. It was with this in mind that I promoted him to the chief examiner, but I don't want him to go with the flow, you are really disappointed! ”
Yan Zi's heart was very painful, every word she said was beating her chest deeply, and that heart was breaking little by little, she was really blind. The military generals of Wenchen, including this honest and responsible Lord Liu, have all gone with the flow, they are not so high-minded, are they overestimating them or is there really no so-called high-minded person in this world?
Yan Zi doesn't know anymore, her heart is very confused, and her eyes are also very confused, the confident eyes in the past have long since dimmed, and she doesn't dare to trust anyone anymore, these people have all betrayed herself, and there is anyone else in this world who is reliable. Mother, mother, you left too early, how good it would be if you were still there, Zi'er really wants to lean in your arms now, the outside world is too chaotic, and people's hearts are always separated by a layer.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally stopped the pain and lifted my strength, "Someone!" Take Lord Liu down to get rid of his official position, exile him to the border pass, and he will never be hired! ”
"Yes!" After the two guards who came in casually received the order, one of them took Lord Liu by his side and took him down.
"Thank you, thank you, your majesty!" The meaningful voice of gratitude echoed throughout the palace for a long time, this is the most important sentence that Lord Liu has wanted to say for so many years, thank Yan Zi for his kindness, and thank Yan Zi for discovering his crime, so that he can turn back. I am even more grateful to Yan Zi for being treated lightly in the end, just a little relegated himself to the border.
In just a few words, it is from the bottom of my heart, and it expresses the meaning buried in Lord Liu's heart. I shouldn't have been greedy for life and afraid of death after becoming a big official, and I was threatened by the Yan and Xue families to cheat for personal gain and make a big mistake, I shouldn't, I really shouldn't. Sure enough, the moment when Skynet is restored and there is always a moment of negligence but not leakage has long been expected.
Lord Liu does not regret this calamity, but regrets that he did not disappoint Yan Zi, and failed to repay her kindness well.
A few days later, the news of Lord Liu's suicide came from outside the palace, and the subordinates presented the suicide note to Yan Zi overnight. It is written with gratitude for Yan Zi's kindness and shame for his inexorable responsibility.
"One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and you should never be greedy for life and afraid of death and threatened by others. Thank Your Majesty for the grace of your knowledge, and only after being loved by Your Majesty did this act, I never thought that the bolder the official, the smaller the child. At the beginning, the county magistrate who was not afraid of heaven and earth has now become an incompetent person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he lives in the world without a face, and he is willing to repay His Majesty's kindness in the next life. ”
After reading this letter, Yan Zi couldn't help but let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, "Hey, the world is impermanent." Lord Liu, Lord Liu, I knew that this was the case, why did I bother in the first place, and besides, I belittled you at the border just because I wanted you to return to the county magistrate of the day and continue to ask for your life for the people, why don't you understand my hard work. ”
What a good virtuous minister in addition to this matter is wrong, everything he does is a good thing for the benefit of the people, Yan Zi also took this into account before deciding to deal with the merits and demerits lightly, who knew that Lord Liu actually broke off on his own, so that the country was missing a pillar of talent.
Looking back at the courtiers since they ascended the throne, it seems that there are not many left. It's just that the four major leaders are guilty of their own misdeeds, and the founding general like Sheng Linsheng can't accompany him in the end, and Bai Jikao is even more ...... Maybe there really aren't any courtiers who have a long company.
That's right, even if husband and wife are separated, let alone courtiers, just let the old not go and the new will not come, so why sigh for the loss.
Yan Zi reinvigorated his spirits and decided to handle the government well, don't think about the past, as long as he is doing well now, since no one will care about himself and no one can accompany him forever, then take care of himself, why hurt himself for others.
The early dynasty is still going on, but many days later, in the early dynasty, Yan Zi issued a holy decree to reduce all the people of the Yan and Xue families to the common people and separate them.
"Retreat from the dynasty-" With a sharp voice sounded, all the dust settled, there was no more strife, and the people of the Yan Xue family were all reduced to commoners, to see how they fought in the future.
It's just that I don't know why, I obviously don't want to think about this, but after there is no Bai Jikao and Sheng Linsheng in the court, my heart is empty, I used to feel upset when I saw the two, but now that I am gone, I feel very empty, and there is no one who wants to find a quarrel. Xu was used to those days, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, Yan Zi tried his best to reassure himself not to think about those two useless people.
Maybe it's providence, but at this time, when he heard the news of Mr. Duanmu's entry into the palace, Yan Zizheng was worried that there was no one to speak, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite.
The two were drinking and chatting in the garden of the harem, although the weather was colder, but Yan Zi's heart was also cold at the moment, so he didn't care about the cold. The palace people gasped the stove in the pavilion, and the fire was slightly revealed, quietly emitting white smoke, which was still a little warm.
After the two sat down, the palace people poured wine again, and they felt warmer after a glass, and the cold winter was not so cold.
"Mr. Duanmu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but where did you go?" Yan Zi was curious, she was full of sorrow at this time, and when she saw Mr. Duanmu coming, she was like seeing a savior.
Mr. Duanmu took a sip and lightly recounted the experience of these days, "It's just that I have traveled all over the world, and I have seen that I am a big country, and it is really a big country, especially under the governance of His Majesty, it is a country and a people's peace." ”
Yan Zi smiled bitterly, "Hehe, I didn't expect that even Mr. Duanmu learned to slap horses." ”
Mr. Duanmu shook his head, "No, what the grass people said is true, but this is one of them." It is indeed true that our country and the people are safe, but it is also true that there are other hidden dangers in peace. Internal and external troubles are inevitable, and Your Majesty must accept the reality. ”
"Oh? Isn't it enough for me to accept reality now? Yan Zi was curious, and didn't understand what Mr. Duanmu meant.
Mr. Duanmu smiled meaningfully, revealing a mysterious and unpredictable look like a master: "If Your Majesty really accepts the reality with an open mind, why is he so worried about General Sheng's thinking about the wall?" But don't forget that the Chaoheng Kingdom in the vicinity is also gradually growing, it is true that our country is strong, but other countries are also gradually growing, if Your Majesty only looks at the development of his own country and ignores other countries, what is the difference between being self-contained? The general is an important position, and if His Majesty does not reinstate the post of general, I am afraid that it will be a big bad thing. ”
Mr. Duanmu kindly reminded.
Yan Zi He didn't want to resume his position as a general as soon as possible, but Sheng Linsheng's actions were really infuriating, and she was also a person, where could she really be clear, one thing was the same.
"I don't know if Mr. Duanmu remembers that you once said something like that. At the beginning, I asked you if it was proper to reuse the emperor's relatives and relatives, and you said, "It seems that today, Your Majesty is not looking for grass people to measure words, but to talk about things." However, the grass people still want to give His Majesty a word 'heart', the heart is not difficult to write, but it is not easy to write, they all say that people's hearts are separated from the belly, and the good and bad can be seen one-sidedly, Your Majesty should look at people with your heart and understand people with your heart. ’”
Yan Zi recalled the picture at that time, at that time, Bai Ji persuaded himself to reuse his family, Yan Zi was moved by his words for a while, hesitated, and asked Mr. Duanmu, hoping that he would get an idea for himself, he said such a sentence, it was really because of his words that Yan Zi decided to reuse the imperial relatives. Now that it has caused a tragedy, I can't help but blame Mr. Duanmu a little.
But Mr. Duanmu smiled slightly and said frankly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood the meaning of the grass people." ”
