16. If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister
"Brother Keming, please stay!"
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Du Ruhui walked alone on Chengtianmen Street, his brows were deeply locked, and he seemed to be preoccupied.
At this time, someone behind him shouted, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Fang Xuanling.
"Brother Xuanling." He stopped and waited.
After Fang Xuanling caught up, the two walked side by side.
"Brother Keming, what do you think of today's events?" Fang Xuanling saw that there was no one around, so he asked in a low voice.
"What do you think?"
Du Ruhui's heart moved, and he seemed to have guessed a few points.
"Your Majesty asked Gao Shilian to revise the list of clans, what do you mean?" The relationship between the two is deep, so Fang Xuanling asked directly.
Du Ruhui didn't answer and asked: "Then Brother Xuanling thinks that His Majesty suddenly ordered me to preside over the reform of the imperial examination, what does it mean?" ”
Fang Xuanling groaned slightly, and said, "Is it possible that the two have anything in common?" ”
"Your Majesty will never be untargeted." Du Ruyan was noncommittal, "Take my imperial examination reform as an example, the five major unfairness listed by His Majesty are almost all pointed at the privileges possessed by the family gatekeepers.
Isn't that obvious enough? ”
"It does ......"
Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "The revision of the family directory is also directly related to the family gate valve.
This is definitely no coincidence. ”
Du Ruhui said again: "Further afield, the plan that Your Majesty suddenly came up with to manipulate food prices is also full of doubts. ”
Fang Xuanling deeply agreed: "I also feel confused.
After going back, I thought about it carefully, and I always felt that this matter should not be announced to the public in the temple. ”
After a pause, he said: "One more thing, in the past, His Majesty would summon me to discuss important matters first, and then move to the court meeting."
The last few times it hasn't, why? ”
“……”
Du Ruhui looked at him for a while before he said slowly: "Chaos is born, and words are ordered."
If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, if he is not secret, he will lose his life, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed.
Yes, the gentleman is cautious and does not come out. ”
"What do you mean, Brother Keming?" Fang Xuanling was stunned.
It's not that he doesn't understand the meaning of these words, but he doesn't understand the meaning of Du Ruhui's words.
"If the king speaks carelessly, he will lose his trust in his courtiers, and if the courtiers speak carelessly, he will harm himself, and if he is not careful in planning things, he will cause disaster......"
Du Ruhui said meaningfully: "Therefore, a gentleman should be cautious in dealing with things and talking, and if he doesn't go out randomly, he won't talk nonsense."
This Xuanling brother naturally understands.
But......
If you want to link these few words with the matter of manipulating food prices, doesn't Brother Xuan Ling have an idea? ”
"If you don't keep it secret, you will lose your life?" Fang Xuanling frowned: "Your Majesty, he ......"
Speaking of this, he hesitated, and the rest of the words were not said after all.
You must know that the manipulation of grain prices needs to be concealed from the eyes and ears of grain merchants, and there are many family valves in the operation of grain merchants......
Your Majesty did not choose to consult with a few important ministers, including himself, but directly on the main hall and before the ministers, don't you trust us either?
After all......
His original wife is ......
"Brother Xuanling, don't worry too much."
Du Ruyan vaguely guessed what he was thinking, and said earnestly: "The so-called prudence means prudence and secrecy.
If the monarch is not cautious, he will fall short.
If the king is not open and honest, he will lose his trust in his courtiers.
Since His Majesty chooses to be open and honest, he chooses to trust his courtiers...... Even at the risk of falling short!
Brother Xuanling, as the king of a country, Your Majesty needs to consider far more than us! ”
He knew that Fang Xuanling's intelligence was not inferior to his own, but because his original wife was from five surnames and seven sects, his concern was chaotic, which affected his judgment.
On the other hand, Fang Xuanling had long realized that His Majesty did not want to deal with the world's clans, but wanted to suppress the five surnames and seven sects.
The reform of the imperial examination, the revision of the list of clans, and even the manipulation of grain prices are all for the sake of the five surnames and seven sects.
It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind.
After listening to his friend's analysis, Fang Xuanling gradually came to his senses, and said with a wave of his hand: "Thank you Brother Keming for mentioning it!" ”
Immediately, he thought of something and asked, "Brother Keming, have you ever noticed that Your Majesty seems to have suddenly had a lot of novel ideas recently, and you still have a preconceived idea?" ”
"Well......" Du Ruhui also felt the same way.
Predicting drought and locust plague in advance, preparing food in advance, and using locusts to dispel superstitions, and then a series of measures today......
It seems to be a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, but there is a close connection between them.
Your Majesty, he's playing a big game of chess.
"Brother Keming, I've figured it out." Fang Xuanling raised his head and looked resolutely, "No matter what, no matter what arrangements Your Majesty has, those of us who are courtiers will do our best and complete it." ”
"What Brother Xuanling said is extremely true." Du Ruhui agreed.
"By the way, how is Brother Keming's health?"
"It's an old problem, don't worry."
"Dude, you have to get better quickly, I can't miss you!"
"Why am I?"
"Huh."
……
Li Lizhi was in a daze.
Although she was only an eight-year-old girl, she didn't like fantasies, and she was thinking about a very serious question at this time.
Is that guy Luo Datou serious?
For the first time in my life, I was shown love in person, and I heard that many women in the boudoir will never have this kind of experience in their lives.
But that's what the tiger-brained guy did...... It's natural to show love for another her in front of her.
Isn't that ridiculous?
Is he in love with me, or is he the other me he fantasizes about?
This is the biggest problem in Li Li's heart at present.
It's been a few days since I've seen that guy, and I don't know what he's doing now.
"Beauty." The eldest grandson queen didn't know when she came behind Li Lizhen, holding her pregnant belly, and there was a gentle smile on her beautiful face.
"The Queen Mother." Li Lizhi called softly, then hugged the eldest grandson queen, and listened to the sound in her belly.
Empress Eldest Sun said softly: "I see that you seem to be always distracted recently, is there something bothering?" ”
"It's okay......"
Li Lizhi naturally can't tell her that there is a stupid boy who is beating your daughter's idea, the key is that he hasn't found the right person yet......
It's stupid.
"Are you worried about your marriage to your cousin?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.
“……”
Li Lizhen did not speak.
Empress Eldest Sun didn't know what her daughter was thinking, and said, "Actually, I don't agree with this marriage, why don't I go and tell you?" ”
Although Li Lizhen was very moved, she still shook her head.
It's better to solve your own business by yourself.
"Queen Mother, what kind of person do you think I should marry when I grow up?" She asked.
"Well...... "Empress Eldest Sun pondered, "it's better to be handsome, subtle, ambitious, full of economy, both civil and military...... Almost such a humble gentleman. ”
Li Lizhen rolled her delicate eyes, thinking that you were talking about your father at all.
What's more, none of the characteristics in this are touched.
