In ancient times, the king was like a tiger.

Being on the king's side, keeping your mouth shut is the rule, prudence in words and deeds is the standard, seeing and listening more is ingenuity, catering to the true meaning of the king's heart, only in this way can you be in the turbulent temple, at least based on the invincible position.

After all, even the first emperor of the ages and the immortal emperor have the probability of killing virtuous ministers by mistake, let alone ordinary emperors!

In the face of Liu Yan's rhetorical question, the silence in the hall was extremely silent, and no one of the four of His Highness answered, and no one thought about how to answer.

After the emperor reported the divination results truthfully, he sat in his position and was silent, "Don't say anything that shouldn't be said, think about what you should say" is always his way of being an official.

Therefore, in the eyes of Huangfu Yixing, after saying what should be said, it doesn't matter whether there is him in this treasure hall or not.

General Tao Kan is in charge of military affairs, this kind of astrological divination is not in the scope of his management at all, even if Huangfu Yixing is Tao Kan's closed disciple, he will not ask too much, when His Majesty asks about politics, he will not speak first, and in the end it is nothing more than the Holy Lord's dictatorship or Lu Zheng's tone, and he will echo it.

Lu Zheng sat there and the old monk sat down, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Lu Zheng, who has always advocated Confucianism, never believed in hexagrams, just like when Taigong Jiang Shang stepped on the tortoise shell in front of the Taimiao to inspire King Wu of Zhou to swear to go on the expedition, he sneered at this kind of ghost and god theory and even hated it very much. Old Lu Zheng always feels that in the world, if you can do it, if you can do it, if you don't do it, you don't do it, why believe in the good luck of a few pieces of tortoise shell?

However, before listening to the edict, Lu Zheng didn't expect today's topic at all, it was actually to kill the national thief, and he didn't expect that there was Jiang Feng, the national thief, and his father who was present.

In this case, the quiet pin drop in the room can be heard, and the matter suddenly becomes sharp.

Lu Zheng knew that Liu Yan had always attached great importance to Taimiao divination, but he absolutely believed that today's incident was purely caused by divination, and it was definitely not a ploy used by Liu Yan to take the opportunity to get rid of Jiang Cang. Otherwise, Liu Yan would not have gone to great lengths to recruit Jiang Cang into Beijing a few months ago. However, Lu Zheng always felt that Liu Yan was too hasty and a little unsafe in handling this matter, what if the hexagram was not referring to the Jiang family? Even if Liu Yan should wait for the good news in the east and the dust of the foreign war to settle before he takes action to discuss this matter, he should not be in such a hurry.

Lu Zheng inadvertently glanced at Liu Yan, the son of heaven, his precious apprentice's temples became more and more frosty and snowy, and he immediately understood why Liu Yan was always in a hurry to do things recently.

Time flies like a white horse, leaving him time to realize his grand cause, perhaps, not much!

The three court officials were silent, but Lao Jiang Cang, seeing that the three of them were silent, smiled helplessly, got up and asked Liu Yan, "The old minister dared to ask, today's hexagram? Is this your Majesty's intention?"

Liu Yan's expression was slightly stunned, and he immediately smiled bitterly, "Jiang Qing, this is the will of heaven, not man-made. I swear by royal glory that I didn't know anything about the hexagram until I mentioned it."

Lao Jiang Cang immediately looked at Huangfu Xing, his eyes did not have a trace of waves, "Huangfu Xing, this hexagram, is it providence or artificiality?" c0

Huangfu Yixing replied truthfully, "The hexagram descended from the sky, it is not man-made, if the Taiwei does not believe it, you can go to me to inquire."

Jiang Cang turned his head and looked at the Son of Heaven in the palace, "Your Majesty, the old minister is disrespectful, dare to ask again, can Your Majesty still recognize the old minister as a courtier of the Han family?"

When Liu Yan heard this, he had mixed feelings for a while.

In the Qin and Han wars, the rebellion of the kings, and the internal and external troubles of the empire, Jiang Cang was born in the Central Plains, followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north, and finally settled the country, this credit is no less than Han Xin, Ma Yuan, and Zhuge Liang.

For this meritorious work, even if his Jiang clan is hereditary Quzhou Mu, it is not too much.

It is precisely because of this achievement that even if the cholera of the 28th clan in Gyeonggi more than ten years ago coerced him to kill his wife and children, for so many years, he Liu Yan did not plan to do anything against the Jiang clan led by Jiang Cang.

However, greed often makes people confused, and after Jiang Feng inherited the Jiang family, what he did could not be within Liu Yan's tolerance.

The merits and demerits are offset, my Liu family owes your Jiang family, and I, Liu Yan, on behalf of my father, paid it off.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan said lightly, "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!"

These words are not heart-wrenching, nor are they aimed at people's hearts.

But on this occasion, if there is no heart-to-heart words, it can be regarded as heart-wrenching!

"Good! Got it, old minister!" Jiang Cang gritted his teeth and saluted, turned around and walked out of the Xuanshu Hall.

No one knew what Lao Jiang Cang understood, he only said that he understood.

After Lao Jiang Cang left, Tao Kan's proud protégé Huangfu Yixing couldn't sit still.

Emperor Taichang Fu Xing is a literati in the realm of things, and a close disciple of the general Tao Kan, who occupies the position of minister in his early forties, which can be described as infinite scenery. However, if you really talk about the way of Huangfu Yixing's beginning, he did not rely on him, the now famous teacher, but chose to be appreciated by Liu Yan after choosing to become a teacher. When Taichang Huangfu Xing became the first batch of Shaozhuang faction celebrities under Liu Yan, Tao Kan was still honestly doing his border army general, until Tao Kan entered the General's Mansion Huangfu Xing came to congratulate him, and the world knew that the original general and Taichang were in a master-apprentice relationship. o

Of course, Liu Yan has long known about the little-known master-apprentice relationship between the two, but Liu Yan summoned Huangfu Yixing into the palace back then, not because of this relationship, but because Huangfu Yixing does have some ability.

It stands to reason that Huangfu Xing should have a very good relationship with Tao Kan, but Huangfu Xing knows that the relationship between him and Tao Kan is very delicate, not that there is a gap in the relationship between master and apprentice, just because Tao Kan is independent on the surface, but in fact, he has already invested in the pearl case and embraced the arms of the eldest prince and his party.

Very few people know about this matter, and Huangfu Xingxing only glimpsed it by chance.

In order to make Liu Huai ascend the throne smoothly, Liu Yan even carefully selected a group of young talents with excellent family background and ability for Liu Huai as early as possible to assist him in the future. But Huangfu Yixing also knew that Liu Yan had always been disgusted with the ministers and the crown prince, and there was only one reason why he was disgusted, he didn't want his son to follow in his footsteps.

You must know that the twenty-eighth family Conglong helped Liu Yan ascend the throne smoothly, which made Liu Yan happy for a while, but also delayed Liu Yan for half of his life.

Until Liu Yan's temples are white now, he has not been able to get rid of the trauma brought to him by the twenty-eighth family.

Therefore, when Huangfu Yixing didn't know whether Liu Yan knew that Tao Kan was hooking up with the princelings, he rarely took the initiative to contact Tao Kan after fulfilling the minimum etiquette of the students, so as not to lose the yarn.

In the officialdom, Mr. Save, let's talk about feelings.

If in order to survive, feelings are cheap goods that can be discarded at any time.
