Chapter 156: Choosing to Create and Protect
"That being said, it is not easy for His Majesty to enforce the rule of law and promote change in this world." Wen Ruyu said sincerely, with rare appreciation in her tone.
Lan Yao looked at Wen Ruyu, who praised her, with a smile, and smiled leisurely: "In this case, is Young Master Wen willing to do his best?" ”
"Me?" Wen Ruyu's expression fluctuated faintly, as if she couldn't believe that this was Lan Yao's proposal, and hesitated: "Such an important task, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to participate in it as me." ”
"Definitely! As long as you want to, identity will not be an issue, but the key is that you have to pass the level in your heart first, because after all, this is doing things for Daxuan. ”
Lan Yao was afraid that the other party would be arrogant again, so she couldn't help but rub the corners of her aching eyebrows, and said with a long sigh:
"Now it's the time to employ people, but I, the female tyrant who took office, is stumbling and unsustainable, no, there is still a group of old ministers who are kneeling in the Jinluan Palace!"
"Is it because of the Selangor Public Examination?" Wen Ruyu also heard about Lan Yao's innovative move that was enough to cause a sensation in the entire Great Xuan, and he knew very well that such a way of selecting talents would be most strongly opposed by the nobles.
"yes, it's going to be an uphill battle." Lan Yao suddenly sank, and said with a sneer: "Their strike here is terrible, that is, it is calculated that my majesty the Empress seems to be immeasurable, but in fact, they are just decorations when they are separated from work. ”
"But if you don't have the determination and courage of a strong man to break his wrist, it will only be gone in the end." Lan Yao stared at Wen Ruyu, who was worried too much, and said with expectation:
"So, I need your help Wen Ruyu, at least in the area of judicial reform, I need you to take charge of the overall situation."
After Lan Yao sent out the invitation, he sincerely analyzed the pros and cons of the current situation: "There are too many things I need to deal with these days, Qi Yuming and his party are pressing step by step, forming a confrontation with me in the court, and I don't know what I am planning behind my back. ”
After Lan Yao finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, and felt that it was difficult to swallow half of the meal, "Thinking about it, it's still sad!" ”
"Rather die in silence, not in silence, Your Majesty has great ambitions, like a jade looking at his back." After all, Wen Ruyu was a prince, and the state affairs were complicated, how could he not know the hardships, and couldn't help but comfort:
"It's just that Your Majesty should not worry too much, there are some things that cannot be rushed, if Your Majesty is in need, Ruyu is willing to do his best."
Wen Ruyu is only twenty-two years old, and he has already experienced the pain that ordinary people can hardly touch in their lifetime, he has lived so far, naturally he will not care about any reputation anymore, it is obvious that he has been moved by Lan Yao's words, and said:
"It's just that my former identity is really embarrassing in Daxuan, even if His Majesty trusts me, I don't care about the so-called evaluation of others and the quality of my reputation, but this matter should not be put on the bright side."
Wen Ruyu bowed slightly, saluted Lan Yao, and said sincerely: "Thanks to Your Majesty's refusal to give up, Ruyu and her sister's lives can be saved. ”
"Good!" Lan Yao finally showed a little smile, she got up excitedly, and said, "I just like a talent like you." ”
Wen Ruyu smiled embarrassedly and said humbly: "It is Ruyu's honor to be able to help Your Majesty." ”
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I think I'm going to tell you the truth." Lan Yao suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and explained in detail:
"Blue City, Yecheng, Yangcheng, the three cities of Dongchen in the past I have given up to Shengguo. In fact, the matter of peace talks was an agreement that Ning Shu and Shengguo had already made. ”
"Her original intention was to destroy Dongchen first, and then punish Nansheng, and then dominate the world, the so-called alliance between the two countries was just to solve the weaker Dongchen first with a series of strategies."
"Now that she is gone, the war has just ended, and I can't ruin the opportunity for peace talks, so I can only give in the ownership of these three cities."
Lan Yao didn't want to have a grudge with Wen Ruyu because of this matter, so she chose to make it clear from the beginning:
"Wen Ruyu, I know that you were once the prince of Dongchen and experienced the pain of the country's ruin, but the current situation is like this, I can't let the people of the world fall back into the pain of war and chaos for you alone, and I can't give you a chance to restore the country."
"You have the hatred of the country and the family, but you can still hold on to it until now for the sake of your relatives, I admire your heart and character, although we started with a transaction, but you have chosen to stay, you will not stop at trading."
"Maybe serving me is disloyal and unrighteous in the eyes of outsiders, but in the past, there is not only hatred, rather than recovering the country with the power of one person, it is better to change the identity and live for yourself."
"Moreover, I know that you are not a person who covets power and glory, and what you wanted in the past may be achieved in another way."
"Do you understand?"
Lan Yao's words were very contagious and convincing, Wen Ruyu was emotionally affected when she heard such frank words, and she couldn't help but burst into tears for a while.
He thought that he would endure all kinds of torture and go through this failed life miserably, but the people who came in the dark gave him the courage and hope to live.
It's not that he didn't think about revenge, but this was the killing that Feng Ash, who had also suffered the scourge of annihilation, started with revenge, and continued to entangle, where could he tell who was right and who was wrong?
What's more, he has fallen to this point, even if he has the heart, he is powerless, in the end, Dongchen is gone, he should also let go of his unrealistic illusions and think about the future he can still have.
Since he chose to live, he should not live up to the opportunity she gave him.
Lan Yao saw that Wen Ruyu didn't speak, although she knew that he was a person who understood righteousness, but she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't fall into obsession, so she persuaded again:
"Maybe it's not right to persuade you to let go of your painful past from my standpoint, but as I said to Feng Ash—"
"In this revenge, there is no one who has won for a long time, and hatred will not solve anything but make you more miserable for each other."
"There is a way to repay grievances, Wen Ruyu, you have to live for yourself, don't be carried away by obsession and become a monster."
Lan Yao's eyes were scorching, and she continued in sonorous and powerful words:
"Because you still have a future, the only way to fight pain and hatred is to create and protect!"
Wen Ruyu was finally no longer the old boy who looked down on everything, he suddenly raised his head, and his expression was faintly shocked.
Those words turned violently in his heart, like a mountain and a tsunami, washed away all the gloom of pain, and made him suddenly enlightened.
Yes, he is alive and there is hope and a future.
Instead of struggling with self-pity in the mire of the past, it is better to choose to create and protect.
He lives to be meaningful and worthwhile......
