Chapter 77: A master who pretends to be confused
Yang Qing has been an official for so many years, and he is quite familiar with the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The court is corrupt, the powerful ministers control the court, and the talented people cannot be reused.
The local heroes are full of powers, trying their best to squeeze the people, and the people can be said to be in dire straits.
Yang Qing saw it in his eyes, although his heart hurt, he was powerless.
On the other hand, under the management of the royal palace, the governance is honest, whether it is a noble birth or a child of a poor family, it can be reused.
Taxes were low, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they had land to cultivate.
The two are in stark contrast!
If Ji Lie can succeed Ji Hong and become the emperor of Great Xia, he will definitely be a master of the ages!
It's just a pity that now he has been deposed as the crown prince!
"Isn't Mr. Yang curious, why did Gu ask Deng Wei to take you to visit the property of the palace?"
Ji Lie put down the teacup in his hand and suddenly smiled.
Of course, Yang Qing was curious, but before he had time to ask, Ji Lie took the initiative to ask.
"The minister is indeed quite curious, and I hope that the prince will solve his doubts!"
"Without him, I just want to recruit Mr. Yang for my lonely use!"
Ji Lie stroked his palm and smiled.
"The minister is a subordinate of the prince, how can he solicit it?"
Yang Qing pretended to be confused.
"Mr. Yang is really a master of pretending to be confused!"
Ji Lie's deep eyes looked at Yang Qing, meaning authentically,
"Lone is so honest with Mr. Yang, why should Mr. Yang hide it?"
Without waiting for Yang Qing to speak, he said to himself,
"Today's Great Xia Dynasty seems to be singing and dancing, but in fact, it is dull and gloomy, and the undercurrent is surging."
"The court is corrupt and dark, and the wealthy families everywhere are ambitious."
"In this form, the people are bullied and miserable!"
"There is a way that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"
"As the king of the Great Xia domain alone, how can you sit back and watch the people suffer?"
"Whether it is selling drunken immortal wine, or expanding the palace guards, and creating armor, in order to let the people have enough food and clothing, and no longer suffer from displacement!"
Ji Lie's words were sonorous and powerful!
When Yang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but be moved!
But he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said,
"The prince's sincere heart is very moving."
"It's just that the prince's behavior violates my Great Xia etiquette."
"If everyone is like the prince, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Get.
This Yang Qing is really not good for oil and salt!
But that's right, if he could be persuaded by himself so easily, he wouldn't be kicked here by his cheap father!
Ji Lie smiled and asked rhetorically,
"What Mr. Yang means is that for the sake of the so-called bullshit etiquette, Lone has to watch the lives of the people miserable, is that what he means?"
"This ......"
Yang Qing was speechless for a while.
Ji Lie struck while the iron was hot, and continued,
"I heard that Mr. Yang has been familiar with the books of sages since he was a child, but what are his ideals?"
Ideal?
Yang Qing was a little dazed.
He originally had lofty ideals and ambitions, but in the face of the cruel reality, after hitting his head and bleeding, he didn't know what his ideals were.
"Mr. Yang, does he know Lone's pursuit?"
Ji Lie smiled.
Yang Qing shook his head.
"Then please listen to Mr. Yang!"
Ji Lie took a deep breath and his expression became serious,
"The pursuit of loneliness is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of learning for the saints, and peace for all generations!"
As soon as these words came out, Mo said that Yang Qing was gone, and even Shen Wu, Deng Wei, and Zhang Changde on the side were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning.
Although they are not as talented as Yang Qing, they can also hear the majestic weather!
Don't look at Ji Lie's youth, he is not as tall as Deng Weigao.
But in the eyes of everyone, at this moment, he is like Yue Linyuan, with a great figure!
The most shocking thing is naturally Yang Qing, who has read the books of sages!
For so many years, he has been depressed and unhappy, and he has also had doubts about his life and ideals.
However, Ji Lie's four words were like thunder shattering the darkness, and he suddenly realized it in an instant!
His eyes even became moist.
"The ancients once said that when you hear the Tao, you can die at night!"
"Today, with the words of the prince, the minister finally woke up!"
"From now on, the minister is willing to take the pursuit of the prince as his lifelong ideal."
"Follow by the king's side, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"
Yang Qing stood up and solemnly saluted Ji Lie!
Ji Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
Sure enough.
No matter which dynasty it is in, the four sentences of Hengqu are a big killer for readers!
"Sir, don't be polite, please take a seat."
Ji Lie greeted with a smile.
After Yang Qing sat down again, the relationship between the two sides had become much closer.
Yang Qing seemed to think of something, and said cautiously,
"There's still nothing to know."
"Sir, please."
"The prince is so talented, why did he have a ...... in the first place"
Yang Qing wanted to speak and stopped, but Ji Lie understood what he meant, and said with a smile,
"What do you mean, sir, why did you pretend to be crazy and stupid?"
Yang Qing nodded.
"In fact, the reason is very simple, my father is in the prime of life, and if Lone continues to serve as the crown prince, he really wants to take over the throne, I don't know what year and month it will be."
"Even if you really get on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you will be bound by the collapsed situation, you can't show your talents, and you can't be comfortable if you have ambitions!"
"Rather than that, it's better to do it earlier, develop secretly, and wait for the opportunity to move!"
Yang Qing suddenly brightened up, and the eyes of the prince were really long-term!
He laughed,
"The prince treats his ministers so frankly today, isn't he afraid that the ministers will report to the court?"
"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people."
Ji Lie smiled slightly.
After hearing this, Yang Qing's heart warmed, and he secretly thought that he would never live up to the high hopes of the prince in the future!
Next, Ji Lie and Yang Qing had a conversation about the affairs of the palace.
Yang Qing is worthy of the name of great talent, and many of the suggestions he put forward prove that he is capable of handling internal affairs.
So Ji Lie transferred Laifu back to the palace and was responsible for managing the chores in the palace.
As for the affairs outside the palace, all of them were handed over to Yang Qing.
A group of officials like Deng Wei also obeyed Yang Qing's orders.
And Ji Lie's vision and courage and various new views revealed during the conversation also made Yang Qing refreshed!
As the night deepened, the group gathered together again, and after enjoying a delicious hot pot, they went back to their rooms to rest.
"When Brother Yang talked to the prince today, I was still afraid that Brother Yang would be stubborn and refuse to bow his head."
Shen Wu said with a smile while soaking his feet in hot water.
"If I really refuse to bow to the prince, then what should you do?"
Yang Qing said with a smile.
"Naturally, he stood on Brother Yang's side and escorted Brother Yang out of the palace."
Shen Wu swore solemnly, but then sighed,
"In that case, I'm afraid I'll never be able to drink the best Qili incense again!"
"Okay, you Shen Wu, you just want to drink!"
Yang Qing feigned anger.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both burst out laughing.
