Chapter Seventy-Six: An Unexpected Discovery
Murong Yan carefully carried a small square box in his big tent in his arms and walked towards Yan Yue's big tent. In that small square box, there was jewelry that Murong Yan had brought to Yan Yue from the palace when he left Darong, although it was just a simple jade pendant, it was polished by Murong Yan himself. It condensed a lot of Murong Yan's hard work, and Murong Yan always wanted to wear it on Yan Yue's neck with his own hands. Thinking that he would be able to achieve his wish today, just thinking like this, Murong Yan's heart became excited.
Murong Yan originally thought that Yan Yue would live with him, but Yan Yue thought that Murong Yan was busy with affairs, and the injuries on his body had not healed, so he insisted that the two of them each live in a tent. Of course, the distance between the two tents is only fifty meters. Murong Yan's steps were anxious, and his heart was also anxious. It turns out that I miss each other every day.
Looking at the big tent in front of him, Murong Yan suddenly felt like a young child. In addition to dealing with court affairs, Murong Yan spent the rest of his time thinking about her. Thinking that she was diagnosing the pulse of the soldiers again, thinking about whether she was hot, thirsty or not, tired or not, after sending the guards who went to deliver tea and snacks came back, she only brought back Yan Yue's dry two words "thank you". Murong Yan couldn't help but be disappointed and annoyed, this woman was so much that she didn't feel surprised, as if she just should.
There were seven or eight guards guarding outside the big tent, Murong Yan glanced at it, but his excitement couldn't help but be a little low. This time, when she returned to the barracks, Yan Yue didn't bring anyone with her. Spring flowers and autumn moons, carved orchids and jade bricks, four beautiful men, even Mama pleaded with her like that, she was unwilling to bring one. This had to make Murong Yan guess that she must have the idea of returning to the small courtyard of Strange City in her heart. Otherwise, why don't you bring a waiting person around?
"What is the mother doing?" Murong Yan beckoned the guards to come close and reply. The guard lowered his voice and replied, "Niangniang just had dinner, and explained that there is no summons, and no one can enter." ”
Murong Yan couldn't help laughing, and immediately took a light step and walked in cautiously. I want to see what Yan Yue is doing alone. Could it be that you are studying those medical books again? It was only after entering that Murong Yan knew that he was wrong, that Yan Yue had already fallen asleep on the bed, and he didn't even feel the slightest feeling when Murong Yan was by his side.
The petite face under the light was no longer flexible and willful, but more quiet and gentle, thinking about what the guard said, 'Niang Niang just had dinner', Murong Yan suddenly thought of a place, and couldn't help laughing again. The little woman was so tired that she fell asleep without washing. This looks a bit like the soldiers in this barracks. However, if you really want to diagnose the pulse of the whole army, it is estimated that Yan Yue will not be peaceful all the way to Darong City this time.
"Let the soldiers know that there is a queen in the Darong Dynasty who loves the people like a son, and let the queen have the power that the ministers dare not shake in the harem......" This is what General Sikong said when he met in the afternoon, because of this sentence, Murong Yan remembered the promise made to Yan Yue in Yingxue City that she would only be a hostess in the harem, and remembered that the most tricky princess in the harem not only has a prince, but her father is also the deputy minister of the court, and has a supporter in the court. And Yan Yue's father, Yan Wenzhong, has become a criminal minister because of Yang Zhifang's incident, and the only one who can help Yan Yue at this time is General Sikong. Murong Yan stayed in front of the bed quietly for a while, stood up and carefully tidied up the quilt on Yan Yue's body, and cut the fire core in front of the table smaller, and then quietly left the big tent.
It's just that Murong Yan didn't expect that there were actually two people waiting there outside his big tent at this time.
"The minister and the king Baokun see the emperor!" The slightly chubby man knelt humbly, and the thin man behind him knelt behind him. This Wang Baokun is the nephew of the same clan as the deputy of the king, and in the days when Murong Yan did not take care of political affairs, the vice minister recommended this person as the imperial servant Siqing, who was in charge of conveying the king's orders, serving the emperor in and out, chariots and horses, and other ministries. Although he doesn't have much real power in his hands, he is always waiting by the emperor's side and can know the emperor's movements at any time. Murong Yan, who thought that Yan Yue had died, had no intention of ruling at all, so where did he care about Vice Minister Wang's arrangement. Now it seems that this person is a little unsuitable by Murong Yan's side.
Murong Yan pondered, but his eyes stared at the man kneeling behind Wang Baokun suspiciously, the man was wearing a blue shirt and was short. The clothes worn by this man that made Murong Yan puzzled, this person should not be a person from this military palace. Murong Yan's face sank instantly, could this Wang Baokun be carrying his younger brother? Does he think this is a barracks or is it a family visit? With Murong Yan's order, Murong Yan also saw the short man's face, young and less than double ten, and actually had a face as delicate as a woman, and that look in his eyes made Murong Yan feel like he had seen it for a while.
Murong Yan was puzzled in his heart, and immediately asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Cao Min Bi is successful, and he is the teacher of Lord Wang Baokun." The young man replied solemnly with his head bowed. Murong Yan felt the urge to laugh in an instant. Wang Baokun is more than thirty, but this man is less than double ten, how can he be Wang Baokun's teacher? Young people, even if they dare to tell lies, they dare to be so bold. It was only the smile on Murong Yan's lips that appeared, but the young man suddenly aggravated his tone and said, "Your Majesty, please don't laugh, don't you know that there is a precedence in hearing the Tao and a specialization in the arts?" ”
Murong Yan couldn't help but let out a soft snort, judging from his face, Murong Yan really didn't realize how much ability the young man in front of him had, but the tone of his voice was not small. Murong Yan was strange, what kind of ability did he have to be Yu Baokun's teacher. But looking at Wang Baokun's respectful and speechless appearance, Murong Yan was really curious about what this man would do?
"Wang Baokun, what did your teacher teach you?" Murong Yan asked Wang Baokun directly.
"The teacher mainly explains the records of famous ministers and emperors...... Teach Weichen the truth of being a man. Wang Baokun replied seriously.
"Then tell me what this teacher has taught you?" Murong Yan asked. This time, Wang Baokun's answer was once again unexpected by Murong Yan, he replied: "The teacher educates the ministers, the ministers stop at loyalty, and the father ends with kindness. To be the son of man is to stop at filial piety, that is, to be a human being. ”
Murong Yan couldn't help but look at the young man, although he had some truth, he was too young after all. Even Murong Yan's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of regret. With the revelation of Rong Shengren's identity, there is no longer a knowledgeable person around Murong Yan who can analyze the government and interpret history books for Murong Yan at any time.
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows more than this, Weichen can explain the emperor's record to the emperor, which records the merits of sixty successful emperors in their lives. Weichen can also explain the list of famous ministers for the emperor, which records sixty generals to complement the country. I believe that the emperor will be inspired when he hears it. The young man seemed to understand Murong Yan's thoughts, and slowly spoke. Murong Yan couldn't help but feel upset for a while, looked at the young man's expectant eyes, and immediately said, "I will listen to your ability today, and if you don't say it well, I will punish you to leave the barracks today." ”
Hurriedly entering the tent, lying tiredly on the soft couch, soon a guard brought hot water for washing, Murong Yan put his feet in the hot water, and motioned for the young man to start.
"Weichen told the emperor today about Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six countries." The young man spoke, Murong Yan closed his eyes and listened casually, but as the young man spoke, Murong Yan's eyes opened and he listened attentively.
The young man told little by little, starting from Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries, politically improving the dignity of the emperor, strictly centralizing power, abolishing feudalism and counties, strengthening the grassroots system, and implementing strict punishment and strict laws; Economically, the migration of wealth, the unification of currency, the unification of weights and measures, and the private ownership of land; militarily, destroying weapons, leveling obstacles, immigrating to garrison the border, and building the Great Wall; In terms of transportation, the track is unified, the road is built, and the waterway is communicated; Culturally unify the written word and control the mind; The Northern Expedition to the Huns, the Hundred Yue, etc., only heard that Murong Yan was fascinated and admired.
Although this man's voice lacked confidence, although his voice was still a little immature, he heard the blood boiling in Murong Yan's chest, and he only felt that if a generation of emperors had such achievements, it would really be in vain to live this life. Murong Yan didn't notice it, and unconsciously, in this man's wonderful narration, two or three hours had already passed.
The young man did not think about it, coughed a few times, and suddenly chanted aloud: "The earth is under my feet, and the national plan is in my hands, who dares to speak more." Who razed the Six Nations? Which one is unified and dominates, and whose record is higher than that of a lonely family. Look at it high up in the kings, the rivers and mountains of me are beautiful and picturesque, climbing the mountain and stepping on the fog and smiling and scolding, who can boast about me! The founder of the Qin family is here, taking away the chic of all generations, and the stubborn stone is engraved with sweat and green, and how I am praised. ”
Before Murong Yan could finish his thoughts, the young man stopped and said goodbye: "Wechen has finished talking about Qin Shi Huang, so he will retire." ”
"By the way, what's your name?" Murong Yan asked in shock, he didn't expect that there was such a person by Wang Baokun's side. Why didn't I notice how many good hours of study I had delayed before?
"Minister, Bi Chenggong, the emperor is forgetful." The young man replied proudly. Only then did Murong Yan remember that he had indeed asked his name just now, but he was so excited to hear it just now, so Murong Yan forgot about it. However, even though this man was a little rude in his speech and arrogant attitude at this time, Murong Yan was not angry at all. He ordered directly: "Bi Chenggong, from today onwards, you will come to me every night and tell me about this emperor." ”
In response to Murong Yan, Bi Chenggong asked lightly: "May I ask what position the emperor gives to his ministers?" ”
"If you behave well, I won't treat you badly." Murong Yan couldn't help but smile and replied. The young man is really younger, so he will directly ask for an official. But with just this storytelling, how could Murong Yan give a position to a person so casually. If you want to become an official, you have to rely on real skills.
