Chapter 155: The Old Man in the Twilight
In the following days, Zhou Wenyu was surprised to find that both his father and mother were very interested in the guy named Zhou Liuyun, not only went to the adjudication office to see him every once in a while, but even asked the adjudication institute to entertain him with good wine and food.
This kind of treatment, absolutely for the first time since the establishment of the ruling!
made Zhou Wenyu want to move to the adjudication office.
Zhou Wenyu was very strange about why, and asked Zhou Chuxue in private, but to his surprise, Zhou Chuxue didn't know the reason, and only said that his father and queen mother saw Zhou Liuyun and that's it.
Zhou Wenyu could only give a thumbs up in the direction of the adjudication office in the palace.
Not long after, the emperor held a coming-of-age ceremony for Zhou Wenyu, announcing to all the people of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom that the youngest prince of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom had finally grown up, and what made the people even more talked about was that the prince actually took the initiative to give up the battle for the throne.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, coupled with Zhou Wenyu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Emperor Jingwu finally relented and allowed him to go out of the palace to have a look, but the scope was limited to Chang'an City.
Zhou Wenyu naturally couldn't wait and slipped out of the palace, and his first destination also made everyone speechless.
He didn't go anywhere else, but to the Tribunal.
will regard the ruling as the first place to go after the palace, except for this prince, I am afraid there is no one.
He didn't mean to go to the adjudication office, he just wanted to go to Zhou Liuyun, last time the two of them said that they would go to Chang'an City together, Zhou Wenyu was happy to go shopping alone, he didn't want to go shopping and brought a group of guards, only Zhou Liuyun was the most suitable to think about it.
The two of them walked around Chang'an City for two hours and then returned to the adjudication office, not that they didn't want to go shopping for a while, but Zhou Liuyun could only leave the adjudication office for a period of time now, and he had to go back after two hours, because ...... He wants to practice.
That's right, it's practice!
He can now be said to be staying in the safest place in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, what else can he do besides practice?
Empress Jingru obviously attached great importance to his cultivation, and personally invited several top tutors from the Chang'an Academy to guide him in his cultivation, and he was paid a lot of money.
Zhou Wenyu doesn't like to practice, so naturally he can't understand why Zhou Liuyun attaches so much importance to practice, but he is familiar with poetry and books, and he will respect everyone's ideas, and the two broke up at the door of the adjudication office, one entered the office, and the other returned to the palace.
As soon as he walked to the palace gate, he saw a group of people slowly walking out of the palace gate, an old man stood in front of the palace gate, looking back at the vermilion wall and yellow tiles on the palace gate, carrying his hands on his back, his clothes fluttering gently in the evening breeze, and the old man sighed.
Although Zhou Wenyu is not involved in government politics, he still knows this famous old man.
Yan Ruoyu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, is the biological father of Yan Mingda, the biggest official involved in the recent uproar in the "Final Examination Favoritism Case".
Zhou Wenyu didn't care about these things, but in fact, since the end of his coming-of-age ceremony, the "final examination favoritism" has become the biggest sensation in the country in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom in the past few days.
I heard that there have been several cases of scholars angrily smashing the government in some large provincial towns in the south.
Useless is a scholar, this is absolutely not applicable in the Oracle Continent, anyone who wants to get ahead needs to take the path of cultivation, and practice must pass the final theoretical exam, which is one of the most important hurdles in determining life.
If there are people at this level who use it for personal gain, how can the tens of millions of scholars in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom be calm?
Zhou Wenyu looked at the old man's back, slowed down, and suddenly sighed, I don't know if he was feeling sorry for the old man.
Yan Ruoyu's life can be described as a legend, different from the legend of the strong, but another kind of legend, he was the prime minister of two dynasties!
When Emperor Jingwen was in power, he was the prime minister of the dynasty, Emperor Jingwu usurped power and seized the throne, Emperor Jingwen died in one line, and Emperor Jingwen's ministers did not end well, but this Yan Ruoyu Prime Minister was a special case, Emperor Jingwu still reused him, did not degrade his officials, and even did not have any suspicion against him.
Therefore, over the years, although Yan Ruoyu has been getting older, he is still conscientious, taking care of everything in the empire in an orderly manner, and sharing a lot of worries for Emperor Jingwu, and it is precisely because of him that the bad influence after the palace change can be contained in a very short period of time.
It can be said that as a prime minister, Yan Ruoyu can be regarded as a bright minister.
But in terms of godson, it can be said that there are some failures.
Yan Ruoyu has a total of three sons, of which the eldest son and the youngest son are not academically refined and practiced, and belong to the flow of mixed eating and death, the only second son is still competitive, and he has already sat in the second position of the Ministry of Rites at the age of less than forty, although Yan Ruoyu is the prime minister, but Yan Mingda himself is some talent after all, although the talent is not enough to be the prime minister, but it is enough to be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the future.
It's just that who would have thought that this Yan Mingda Yan Gongzi would be exposed to such evil things.
Yan Ruoyu, as his father and prime minister, was very tired of dealing with this matter.
In just a few days, the old man seemed to be old for several years.
Hearing a sigh behind him, the old man turned his head, and a pair of old eyes that were cloudy but still lit up shone brightly.
He bent down slightly at Zhou Wenyu: "The criminal minister is as foolish as a fool, please meet the third prince." ”
He calls himself a "criminal minister", but in fact what is his crime?
Zhou Wenyu hurriedly stepped forward to stop the old man's kneeling move, and said with concern: "Old Prime Minister, take care of your body, the Eastern Zhou Kingdom can't do without you, Prime Minister!"
This is not empty words, although Zhou Wenyu ignores the government, but he still knows a little about Yan Ruoyu's deeds, although the Yidaihe agreement of the year was indispensable to the king of Pingbei, but the signing of the final agreement still relied on this old man, and for example, the western Liufeng country has always been eyeing the fertile soil of the Central Plains of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and it is not by this old man's excellent diplomatic means that he has not let the Liufeng country find a reason for war for decades.
Yan Ruoyu straightened up and said, "Don't hide it from the third prince, the criminal minister has just resigned, and he will leave Chang'an City tomorrow." ”
"The son of evil has committed such a great crime, and the old minister has implored His Majesty to deal with it according to the law in order to protect the law of the king of the Great Zhou. ”
Zhou Wenyu's body trembled slightly, his pupils widened, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
Resignation...... Yes, even if Yan Ruoyu does not resign after this incident, there will be a steady stream of impeachments against him by hundreds of officials in the court, and it is difficult to say whether the old man can have a good end at that time, no matter what, the Yan family is destined to disappear from the temple.
However, it is disposed of in accordance with the law...... For such a national crime, the only way to deal with it according to law is to behead it for public display!
Zhou Wenyu looked at the old man's white hair fluttering slightly in the evening breeze, and his heart suddenly felt sour.
Yan Ruoyu bowed down and said: "The three princes take care, and the guilty ministers ...... Retirement. ”
As he spoke, a retainer came up to support the old man by the side of the carriage, and the old man slowly walked to the carriage with his back to the temple for which he had devoted his life.
The evening breeze was blowing, the white hair trembled, Zhou Wenyu's heart moved, and he suddenly turned back and bowed deeply to the old man.
"Old Prime Minister!"
The old man stood still in the night wind, but did not look back.
"Dare to ask the old prime minister, how can we completely cure the country?"
"Only when officials do not exceed the rules can the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"Ask the old prime minister again, how can I make the officials not exceed the rules?"
The old man hadn't thought about this question, he had thought about it all his life, but he couldn't think of a way.
The old man was silent, and after a long time, the corners of his dry mouth lifted slightly, and he trembled and walked towards the carriage.
The old man's last words came from the wind.
"When the third prince becomes the emperor, maybe he will find the answer. ”
