The camp at Shilipo was put away in the morning mist.

With a burst of barking dogs, the team set off again.

Qiu Balou remained in the team, and Hua Manting, Wei Xuanmo, and Xiaodao also remained in the team.

In one of the carriages, Qiu Balou was invited to ride with Hua Manting Wei Xuanmo.

Because Hua Manting and Qiu Chen, the teacher on the eighth floor of Qiu, have a bad relationship, and Wei Xuanmo and Qiu Chen are both Yue people, and they also had many contacts in the Four Winds City of Kyoto, Yue Country in the past.

The fog outside the carriage did not dissipate, it was very cold, but the curtain of the carriage was opened again.

Although the team was not walking too fast, the chill still drifted in a lot, Wei Xuanmo looked at Hua Manting, and took a blanket to cover his knees.

He glanced at Hua Manting, and his gaze fell on Qiu Balou's face.

"Last night you said that Mr. Qiu would also come to Kyoto...... In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen him for more than 30 years. ”

"He served in the Privy Council, and the work was very dangerous, and the old man thought it was ...... I thought he had been martyred. Listen to your words, old Huai Da'an! ”

Wei Xuanmo took a deep breath and looked at the thick fog outside the window, and the old face showed a touch of worry.

"A place like the Privy Council, although it is said to do things for the country, the old man doesn't like it."

"Everything they do is in darkness, and they can't wait for the hall of elegance, and they can't see the blue sky and the white sun."

"Like the Imperial City Division of Ning State and the Cardinal Room of Wu State, the old man thinks that they are all yamen left over from the Great Departure Empire that should not exist!"

He withdrew his gaze, shook his head and smiled, and sighed again:

"Hey...... The emperor likes it. ”

"The emperors of all dynasties and dynasties have liked it for thousands of years!"

"They say that these are the eyes and ears, and through them they can know the things of the world."

"It seems to make some sense."

"But the old man thinks that the emperor is just using them to understand the thoughts and dynamics of the people and officials in the world!"

"In the end, the goal is to prevent the people from rebelling."

"Because the old man has carefully observed and thought about it over the years, he has not found how much benefit the emperor has sought for the people of the world through such a yamen."

"The disaster situation in various places has been reported by the government in various places, and it is thank God that these spy departments can take on the responsibility of supervision!"

"If you collude with the local government, deceive the superiors and subordinates, and covet the things that are used for disaster relief...... It's worse than a tiger! ”

Hua Manting stroked his long beard and laughed:

"It's not good that the air is so fresh in the morning, but you're full of complaints!"

"When we're the age, don't worry about those things."

"Since it exists, and it has existed for so many years, there must be a reason for it."

"Such a yamen, its essence is a tool, no different from the rest of the yamen, just to see how to use it!"

"If the emperor has darkness in his heart, then such a yamen will inevitably walk in the darkness and do those things that are not good."

"But what if the emperor's heart is to the sun?"

"They can only walk in the sun!"

"The old man thinks that as long as he is a human being, he will have both good and evil sides."

"The evil of the people is only harmful to a township, but if the officials do evil, they will harm one party!"

"At this time, if the Imperial City Division shoulders the responsibility of supervision, a knife hangs over the heads of those who are officials......"

"For the sake of the black gauze hat, for the sake of the head of the neck, they will restrain the evil and show the good side."

"In this way, the government is for the people and not for the wealth, and the country can prosper!"

Wei Xuanmo's old eyes looked at Hua Manting without blinking, looked at it for five breaths, and grinned:

"But human nature is selfish!"

The old man does not deny that some scholars have the belief of serving the country, but after ten years of cold window to be an official, after being an official...... Human nature is extremely complex. ”

"Looking at the history of thousands of years, how many people can really live for generations?"

"Even in the prosperous era, there are many pigs and dogs."

Wei Xuanmo waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore, because there is no conclusion." ”

"It's a good thing that Qiuchen is out of the Privy Council, and it's also his wisdom."

"One of the reasons for this should be the unforgettable love between him and the eldest princess."

"Second...... Maybe he saw through the darkness of the Privy Council, or maybe the Privy Council needed to spy on the intelligence of the Wu Kingdom, but the eldest princess was the eldest princess of the Wu Kingdom. ”

For the sake of the eldest princess Wu Wen, he had to make a choice, so he chose love and gave up his job, so he became a president of the White Deer Academy in Wu State...... In fact, this is his ideal. ”

Saying this, Wei Xuanmo looked at the eighth floor of Qiu again with curiosity and asked:

"Since you are his student, there must be no problem in learning."

"You are a Wu person, and with your talents, you will definitely be able to be reused by Wu Guo, why did you come to Ning Kingdom?"

"Could it be that Mr. Qiu meant?"

Qiu Balou shook his head and said with a smile:

"This is the meaning of the younger generation."

Wei Xuanmo asked again:

"You're not optimistic about Wu Guozhi's future?"

"Not really."

"Why is that?"

"When I was in Bailu Academy, the teacher liked poetry in his spare time, and Li Chen'an's poems were introduced to Wu Guo, and the teacher liked it very much, saying that his talent was not only Ningguo poetry immortals, but also unprecedented in the world!"

"Later, he became the regent of Ningguo, reformed the tax law, and the policy of boosting industry and commerce was also introduced to Wuguo, and the teacher did not mention the pros and cons, but the younger generation thought that this was a good policy for the benefit of the country and the people."

Since then, the younger generations have begun to understand him.

"Then I had some contact with him, and I talked a lot along the way, and the younger generation became more and more determined to follow him!"

When Hua Manting heard this, he grinned and looked at Wei Xuanmo:

"Old man's son-in-law, if you can't believe it...... You old guy is blind! ”

Wei Xuanmo glared at Hua Manting, but asked Qiu Balou:

"So what kind of thoughts did he think about you?"

Qiu Ba Lou sighed for three breaths, and said slowly:

"The younger generation has never seen a high-ranking person who can sit, chat, or even eat with the old farmers in the field!"

"That's not pretending!"

"He doesn't have to pretend!"

"The figure is a thing that many people think is extremely important, but he said...... All people are created equal! ”

"No one is more noble than the other, in fact, all the people in the court are raised by the people!"

"Food-and-Clothing Parents!"

"He said that in fact, the people of the world are the parents of the officials, but the sons of these parents are not very filial."

"At that moment, my heart shook."

"Later, along the way, the younger generation was impressed by many of his ideas, such as ......"

"Just like the special yamen such as the Imperial City Division, the Privy Council, and the Privy Chamber, which the two seniors talked about just now."

"What he said was similar to Hua Lao's, but it was more radical than Hua Lao's words."

Hua Manting stroked his long beard again and asked:

"What did he say?"

"He said that if life and death are left to a person who sells coffins, then no one in the world will have a way to live!"

"If the right to rain is given to the umbrella seller, there will never be a sunny day."

"He said that absolute power will produce absolute corruption!"

"So keep the power in a cage!"

"Don't try to test anyone's humanity, the essence of human nature is greed!"

Just in the thoughtful eyes of Hua Manting and Wei Xuanmo, Qiu Balou said a few more words:

He added...... The same is true of imperial power! ”

"Imperial power, it needs to be locked in a cage!"

"Because of a ridiculous emperor, he will harm the people of the whole country!"
