Chapter 31: The Rebel Thief

Naha is right, it is better for a person to be a teenager until he dies.

Yun Chu still remembers the appearance of his thirteen-year-old self standing in front of this majestic city with Naha, full of ambition.

I also remember the joy I felt after returning to Chang'an from the Western Regions.

It was the joy of the wanderer's homecoming.

Growing up, everything wasn't so fun.

The main thing is that doing things is not so simple and enjoyable anymore.

In the past, everyone would act directly when they had a good goal, and working together to achieve things was the biggest victory.

Now it's different, before doing everything, you have to let everyone understand what your purpose is, what will you do if you do this, those people will suffer, those people will benefit, whether there is me among the people who benefit, am I the biggest beneficiary......

At that time, Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian, and Xue Rengui fought in the street, which was called the spirit of a young man, even if the emperor saw it, he would stop and watch for a while, and then laugh and scold and disperse.

Now, as long as Yun Chu fights with any of them, it will be regarded as an act of power dumping, and no one cares about the outcome of the fight, only the result of the distribution of benefits after the fight.

Yun Chu had prepared for this in advance, and he had already received education and study in this area before he was in charge of the ruling party.

When he was the director of the street office, even if he did something that was a bastard, no matter how out of line, even if he went into battle shirtless, as long as the original intention of the matter was good, then he could be forgiven and ignored.

The officials will be very tolerant of you, because what they do is specific work, grassroots work, and they are also dealing with the most grassroots people, and there is no way to use a unified model to face all kinds of strange grassroots work.

After taking power, it is different, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the rules are the biggest. Even if you want to be a hooligan and do hooligan things, you must wear a good shirt, tie, and gold-rimmed glasses......

The difficulty suddenly increased a lot, which was a great test for officials, and as a result, there was the art of leadership.

Yun Chu was still a rule-abiding bureaucrat, but now, he suddenly found that by obeying the rules, he was actually locking chains on his hands and feet.

The assimilation in the group of officials is very striking, with only a few subtle changes.

Yun Chu wanted to be willful, so he came to the two eunuchs and said, "You guys go." ”

Without any politeness, without any explanation, Yun Chu bluntly asked them to leave.

A eunuch whispered, "The old slave didn't hear it. ”

Yun Chu said again: "Let's go!" ”

The eunuch looked left and right, hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince wants to kill us?" ”

Yun Chu took another step forward and said, "Let's go." ”

The eunuch arched his hand and said, "In this case, the old slave will retire." ”

Seeing the two eunuchs leave, Yun Chu came to Naha's side again and said, "Get ready, my brother will send you out of Chang'an." ”

Naha stroked her lower abdomen and said, "Will my child become the king of the Western Regions?" ”

Yun Chu smiled: "Do you want your child to become the king of the Western Regions?" ”

Naha bowed her head and said, "Mom once hoped that my brother could become the king of the Western Regions, but you didn't, she was very disappointed." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I am not naturally suitable to be the king of the Western Regions, and I don't like to be the king of the Western Regions. ”

"My brother drove those two eunuchs away, which made it more difficult for my child to become the king of the Western Regions."

Yun Chu smiled: "When I was young, I liked to stay on the edge of the grasshopper lake, watching the vultures walk between the snow-capped mountains, sometimes they soar into the sky, sometimes they swoop down, the person they control is just the air current, many times I wish I could fly in the air like a vulture."

Now, I leave this hope to your child, my nephew.

Still, I doubt he'll be able to make it. ”

Naha said, "Why? ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Because this kid has half of the blood of the Tang people flowing in his body...... And I didn't educate you like a Cypriot......"

"Because you are a Tang person, you can't become the king of the Western Regions who are free and easy?"

"No, it's because as long as he has Tang blood, he will always want to unify the Central Plains, and at present, this difficulty is too high."

Naha nodded resolutely and said, "I'll teach him well." ”

Yun Chu touched Naha's head and said, "Go to bed early, within three days, you will leave Chang'an and return to the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions."

I have prepared a thousand camels for you. ”

Naha got up and hugged Yun Chu, and went back to her room with the help of Dolma and Aisha.

When Yun Chu returned to his bedroom, Yu Xiurong had not yet slept, and when she saw that her husband seemed a little tired, she brought a bowl of soup.

"Naha is leaving, isn't she?"

"Yes, I'll leave in three days, the old monkey should have built a solid Buddhist team for her."

Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "A good marriage has become a joke that we don't take advantage of, I was still waiting for Naha and the groom to give me this tea ceremony as a sister-in-law." ”

Yun Chu drank up the soup and said: "They are all people with great ambitions, so naturally they will not take the ordinary road." ”

"Husband, what about you?"

"I'm a man with no ambitions, and I just want to live as I want."

Yu Xiurong leaned into her husband's arms and sighed: "Doing what you want is the greatest luxury, unless your husband can take the whole family to live the life of Tao Yuanming in the deep mountains and old forests." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I like farming, but I like to see others help me farm, I want to be free, I hope that others can take care of this world quietly so that I can live a good life."

If we are farming, it is inevitable that the grass will be full of beans and seedlings, and it is not my intention to let you wash your hands and make soup.

Let's stay in Chang'an, after all, there is no more suitable place for us to stay than Chang'an. ”

Yun Chu didn't tell Yu Xiurong about Zhong Kui taking a hundred people to Luoyang, to be honest, in Yun Chu's sphere of influence, Zhong Kui has never been considered the core force.

At dawn, Wen Rou came to Yun Chu's house early, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he didn't even eat breakfast, so he came in a hurry.

Before eating, he said gently: "As soon as the city gate opened this morning, Helan Minzhi left Chang'an, the target, Luoyang. ”

Yun Chu took a sip of porridge and said, "Is it because we killed five of him that we feel that we are unreliable, or do we think that there is a better helping hand when we go to Luoyang?" ”

said gently: "I suspect that he once again took the queen's line, and through checking the documents last night, I found out that Zhong Kui and they went to Luoyang to have a relationship with the queen."

I also found that Dongping County, where Mount Tai is located, has recently opened 16 roads, and the Ministry of Industry also began to repair the official road from Luoyang to Dongping County a year ago.

Judging from these points, I think Your Majesty may have moved the mind of Feng Chan Taishan, but your Majesty Feng Chan Tai Tai is what it should mean, and when it comes to merit, Your Majesty is qualified to do so.

I'm just wondering, Your Majesty's Feng Chan Taishan actually has nothing to do with the queen, why the queen is so excited.

Moreover, the queen has always disliked Taoism, this time she summoned the world's high roads to gather in Luoyang, what happened? ”

Yun Chu said: "You mean that Zhong Kui and a large group of Taoist priests gathered in Luoyang for the purpose of His Majesty to seal Mount Tai?" ”

nodded softly and said: "Eighty percent of this is the case, Di Renjie should have more detailed information over there, and he should know it today." ”

Yun Chu said puzzledly: "The major affairs of the country are enshrined in Rong, if Your Majesty wants to seal Mount Tai, he should announce it to the world as soon as possible, it is not the attitude of sacrifice that makes it so sneaky."

Also, for such a big matter, the court didn't announce it to the outside world, so why didn't it say it to the courtiers, what is the reason? ”

"What's the reason? It is the queen's truth, and now, the queen is competing with the prime ministers for Yaxian. ”

Yun Chu saw Di Renjie coming, so he asked the cook to bring him breakfast.

Di Renjie took a sip of porridge and sighed and said: "His Majesty Taishan is naturally the first offering, since ancient times, it has been the prime minister to carry out the sub-offering, this time is different, the queen believes that Feng Chan is the ritual of sacrificing the earth, and the queen mother enjoys it, highlighting the virtue of the land." Therefore, she wants to act as a sub-sacrifice herself, so as to honor her mother-in-law, Empress Wende. ”

Yun Chu said: "Just because of this, the imperial court kept the matter of sealing Zen Taishan secret?" ”

Di Renjie said: "I found in the news sent from Luoyang last night that the Shaofu Supervisor has increased the purchase of sacrificial things, which is more than ten times that of previous years, and according to the specifications of sacrificial things, it exceeds the annual specifications of the eastern suburbs sacrifice, so there is only one sacrifice to choose from, and that is Mount Tai Fengzen."

Since it is Mount Tai Feng Zen, there is nothing to say, generally this kind of large-scale sacrifice, just preparation, it takes three years.

If the imperial court wants to seal Mount Tai, it is natural to announce His Majesty's achievements to the world, so that the people of the world know that His Majesty's sealing of Mount Tai is a move to the sky.

But if they don't say it now, and they don't allow anyone else to say it, there will be something strange in it.

So, I visited Guo Zhengyi, the secretary of Dali Temple, overnight, and after several times, I learned from Guo Zhengyi's mouth that the queen had a conflict with the Xitai squire, the east and west Taiwan Sanpin, the silver Qingguanglu doctor, and the prime minister Shangguanyi.

When every emperor enshrines Mount Tai, the emperor is the first offering, the prime minister is the first dedication, there is nothing to do with the queen, this time is different, the queen casually found an excuse, to be offered by her.

Now, the court is about to quarrel, and His Majesty hesitated, so he gave a gag order. ”

Gently slammed his fist on the table, looked at Di Renjie and said: "I have long asked you to climb quickly, but you always stay in Chang'an and don't go to Luoyang, your official position can't be promoted, and we can't know many things in the first place."

If we had known half a month earlier, there would have been a lot of things that could have been done, such as getting the prince to participate in the dedication. ”

At the beginning of Yun, Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said gently: "Why do you want the prince to participate in it?" ”

Gently sneered: "Houtu, Houtu, Houtu does not necessarily represent the queen, she represents the Ze of the earth, but the god of the five grains.

I think this matter can be calculated, the queen can compete for power with the prime minister, in this case, why can't the crown prince seize power with the prime minister?

Now, His Majesty is undecided, and Shangguanyi and the queen are inseparable, in this case, we push the prince into the game, isn't it just in response to the old saying that the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman? ”

Di Renjie said: "The situation of the emperor, the queen, and the prince should be the emperor's family, and the queen should unite with the prince to confront the emperor. ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "The three people of the royal family, you can't just talk about the Three Kingdoms, you don't have to forget, they are still a family, not enemies of life and death." ”

Di Renjie sneered: "In the face of power, how is it different from an enemy of life and death? ”

Yun Chu raised his right hand, and Wen Rou immediately raised his right hand, Di Renjie looked at the two people who raised their hands and said angrily: "The royal friendship is falling apart, it starts with the two of you!" ”

Gently looked at Yun Chu and said with a smile: "I've seen too much of the scene of father and son's filial piety, it should be the scene of father and son cannibalism, right?" ”

Yun Chu smiled: "We can't let them toss us, we won't do anything, right?" ”

Di Renjie gritted his teeth and said, "You two rebellious ministers and thieves. ”

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "So, do you want to do it?" ”

Di Renjie said with a gloomy face: "Why don't you do it?" ”
