This is the first time Ji Yuan has said such things to them. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

"Since the Anshi Rebellion, how many talents have been produced in the world? However, none of them can really stabilize the country, and since the death of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many heroes from all walks of life, Liang Taizu, Chu Taizu, which one is not a hero in the world? This is far away, close Lin Ying, Xiang Yi, their talents and abilities are above their grandfathers, don't they have the ability to calm the world? ”

"Yes, it's just that they have all passed away and haven't been able to calm the world, why?" Ji Yuan said lightly: "Because the time has not come, the gains will outweigh the losses if you force them, such as Lu Jing of the Southern Han Dynasty." ”

"Although the national strength of the Southern Han Dynasty is slightly weaker than that of Chu and Liang, it is also a big country, and their three major countries have been holding each other in a state of balance, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to take it on behalf of the Liu royal family, and wanted to win the Central Plains, he made the first move to provoke the Great Liang, and now the Southern Han Dynasty can't destroy the country, and this situation can't be broken."

Ji Sheng: "So grandfather, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" ”

"Of course, it is a bad thing for the people of the Southern Han Dynasty, but it is a good thing for the people of the world." He looked at Ji Nian and said, "Grandfather told you this to make you understand, the time is not right, even if you have all kinds of talents, you can't level the world." ”

Ji Nian frowned, "But grandfather, now that the Southern Han Dynasty has destroyed the country, the balance has been lost, hasn't the time come yet?" ”

"It's here," Ji Yuan said lightly: "However, the good minister chooses the Ming Jun to assist him, and the Chu Emperor is not the Ming Jun, so I don't want to assist him." “

Ji Nian's face turned slightly pale, and his heart was devastated, "But when you were at home, you once said that among the emperors today, Emperor Chu has the highest scheming, and the State of Chu will be strong within ten years." ”

Ji Yuan didn't deny it, and said: "Yes, Emperor Chu has a majestic talent, but he can't tolerate people, child, I said this to your second senior brother back then, when he intended to take refuge in the Chu State, he asked me for advice, and I replied like this, but at that time I also said that Emperor Chu was young and vigorous, but I was afraid that I would not be able to tolerate doubts." ”

Ji Yuan was sad, "Your second senior brother was beheaded four years ago for being involved in a corruption case, but I don't know anyone like your second senior brother best. ”

"It's been nearly a year since we came to Chu, haven't you seen Emperor Chu's stubbornness?"

"But ......"

Ji Nian was about to argue, but Ji Yuan stretched out his hand to interrupt her words and said: "If Prince Chu is excellent, it would be fine, but his talent is mediocre and his personality is indecisive, and he is not worthy of assistance." Neither father nor son is a wise man, so why should I assist them? I don't have to drag your brothers into the water and make the world even more chaotic. ”

Ji Nian didn't expect her grandfather's evaluation of the Huang family's father and son to be so low, she couldn't help but purse her lips and asked, "Isn't Emperor Liang very mediocre, is my grandfather optimistic about Liang Guo?" ”

Ji Yuan didn't nod, just said: "Emperor Liang is mediocre, but he has the capacity to accommodate people, and the ability to use people, the best thing is that Liang has a large number of talents, and someone uses it for him, just this Liang State is better than Chu State by three points?" ”

He paused, but decided to tell the truth, lest his granddaughter make a wrong decision based on these words, "But I was not optimistic about Liang before, first, because Emperor Liang was old, second, his four princes, two are still young, and the other two are very mediocre, I have never been in contact with them, I don't know their temperament, but from the information revealed, I am not optimistic." ”

So in his opinion, it is still Chu State that has a better chance of winning.

But this does not mean that he is willing to assist the Chu State.

He didn't look down on Emperor Chu, and would rather deal with Emperor Meng in Jiangling, and at worst, he could choose to go to Liang State to live in seclusion, rather than come to Chu State.

But his granddaughter chose the path he didn't want to take.

And this time when he went to the Liang State, he met the four princes and the monarchs and ministers of the Liang State, and at that time he knew that the advantages of the Chu State that he had previously identified were gone.

Because although the fourth prince is mediocre, he has the same two advantages as his father, one is open-minded, and the other is that he can listen to advice.

With these two points, and then there are virtuous ministers, then the Liang State will have the ability to fight with the Chu State in the future.

No matter how capable the Chu Emperor is, who dares to disagree with the ministers of the Chu State now?

In a few years, I am afraid that no one will dare to have objections to Emperor Chu, and at that time, Emperor Chu will fight against the monarchs and ministers of the entire Liang State, as long as there is no big mistake in the middle, the world will be able to see its master in the future.

Ji Yuan was even more reluctant to serve Emperor Chu.

He also did not shy away from saying to his granddaughter, "If you regret it, I have my own way to help you get out, but you still decide to stay in Chu State, I can only take your brother to live here in seclusion, waiting for the day when the world will be stable." ”

Ji Nian's face turned pale, and he wanted to cry or not: "You never told me this? ”

Ji Yuan sighed, "It's my grandfather's fault, my grandfather thought that we could live a stable life in Gangneung all the time, so he didn't teach you a lot of things." ”

Ji Sheng has a good relationship with his sister, and when he saw her pale face, he couldn't help but support her worriedly, "Sister, or let's go, anyway, you and Prince Chu are just married, and they haven't married yet." ”

Ji Yuan also looked at her with blazing eyes, as long as his granddaughter was willing to leave, he had a way to take them away.

But Ji Nian clenched his fists and thought for a while, but he still looked at his grandfather expectantly and said, "Grandfather, if you take your senior brother and them to assist the Chu State, how much more chance can the Chu State win?" ”

Ji Yuan was disappointed and silent.

Ji Sheng opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but say: "Sister, don't you understand, it's because your grandfather doesn't want to go out, you, how can you ......?"

How to get entangled in the odds between Chu and Liang?

Seeing Ji Yuan's face condensed, Ji Nian knew that he couldn't talk anymore, "Grandfather, you have a good rest, granddaughter will go down first." ”

Ji Sheng chased two steps, turned around and asked Ji Yuan puzzled, "Grandfather, my sister has always been smart, why do I understand, but she doesn't?" ”

"It's not that she doesn't understand, she just doesn't want to understand," Ji Yuan sighed: "She wants to be the queen." ”

Although Ji Sheng has been fun since he was a child and has hardly studied hard, he is fourteen years old and is not a teenager who doesn't know anything.

Shocking flashed in his eyes when he heard this, and he asked blankly, "Is it for power?" ”

Ji Yuan didn't speak, and waved him to go down too.

He had already said it so clearly, but she still insisted on doing so, then he had no choice but to wait for her to hit the south wall and then turn back.

His own child is distressed, so no matter how much he hurts, he has to swallow this bitter fruit.

Ji Yuan stayed in the house for several days, and the meals were delivered by his subordinates, and the ministers of Chu State saw that they could not see anyone, and they could not break in, so they could only go back to recover their lives.

Emperor Chu was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl in his hand, gritted his teeth and scolded "old horseman", but he couldn't do anything with Ji Yuan.

Emperor Chu is narrow-minded, but his IQ is online, no matter how angry he is, in the face of the eyes of the world, he still has to be polite, treat Ji Yuan with respect, and he can't show a trace of dissatisfaction, let alone treat him badly at this time, not secretly.

If Emperor Chu was still respectful in the past, and suppressed a lot in private, now he can't even do this small action in private.

Students from all over the Chu State have gone to the sit-in demonstrations in front of the Assassins' Mansions, demanding that the imperial court give Mr. Ji an explanation.

Especially after everyone found out that Mr. Ji had not come forward to explain, everyone even recognized the fact that the monarchs and ministers of Chu State had treated Mr. Ji badly.

There are those who are sad for a while, there are those who are sad and angry, and there are those who doubt.

The most direct impact is that the number of candidates applying for the imperial examination in various places has decreased sharply this year, and even there has been a trend of dropping out of Guozi School and Fuxue.

This shows Mr. Ji's influence in Shilin.

I thought he was a useless scholar, but this time Emperor Chu finally felt Mr. Ji's energy, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a while.

Emperor Chu has a good face, of course he will not come forward to admit his mistakes, so he can only carry the black pot on Song Jing's back.

Poor Song Jing, he signed a peace treaty with Liang on behalf of Great Chu, and before he returned to Chu, he received a holy decree on the way, and was stripped of his official position on the grounds of failure in peace talks.

Song Jing was angry and sad, but he had only been gone for two days, and when he was about to enter Beijing, he received another holy decree, in which he scolded him and pressed him into prison for dereliction of duty.

Song Jing was stunned at this time, and couldn't help but shout to the eunuch who came to announce the decree: "I want to see Your Majesty!" ”

The eunuch wiped his cold sweat and said, "Lord Song, Your Majesty, he doesn't want to see you." ”

Song Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Then I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Your Excellency, let's go with the guards first, and then tell the jailer if you have any requests."

What can a jailer do?

Song Jing said angrily: "I'm Your Highness's cousin, can't I even see Your Highness?" ”

The eunuch frowned, and the look on his face faded, "My lord, just go with confidence, and the slave will report to the top." ”

Song Jing snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and followed the guards to the prison.

The eunuch sneered in his heart, he only said that he would report to the authorities, but he did not say that he would report to His Royal Highness the Prince, his master was His Majesty, not His Highness.

Song Jing didn't know that he was being put on the table by a eunuch when he was coming, and he had no idea how it happened.

When the rumors spread, he had already set off from Liang State to return to Chu State, and the news on the road was blocked, and he only vaguely heard some rumors that he was snubbing Ji Yuan, but he didn't take it to heart, who knew that things would turn out like this.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that His Majesty actually took him for his guilt, but didn't he instruct him to suppress Ji Yuan and let him accept his arrogance?

Song Jing didn't expect Lin Qingwan at this time, but he just felt that Ji Yuan was a gentleman in vain, and he actually played this kind of subterfuge to hold public opinion hostage.

When Lin Qingwan, who was far away in Suzhou, heard that Song Jing had been imprisoned, and Emperor Chu personally went to Ji's house to talk with Mr. Ji for a game, and smiled and decided on the name of the newly built academy, it was already a small year.

She smiled slightly, and said to Yi Han: "Go back, you send the letter to the post station, and let someone send it to Song Jing." Let him know how he suffered this loss. ”

Yi Han was surprised, "Doesn't my aunt like to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, why is she so honest this time?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "It's not good to let Mr. Ji accept it for me, the Song family is not small in the Chu State, and I am in the Liang State, no matter how capable the Song family is, he can't help me." ”

In a word, even if I tell you that I did this, you Song Jing, what can you Song family do!

And Mr. Ji is different, he is still in the Chu State, in the Chu capital, just under the Song family's sphere of influence.

When Yi Han heard this, he took the letter and went out.

Lin Qingwan got up and stretched, and said contentedly: "Now you can have a good year." ”
