The Gap between Monarchs and Ministers
"If you have any plans, just tell me, whether it's about Yue Zhengdao or something else, you can tell me, and discuss with me that anything can be resolved, and you don't have to think about how to hide it, this crime of bullying the king is not something that everyone can bear. The emperor looked at Jun Yishen, who was contemplative, and said directly without waiting for him to make up a reason, and the threat in his words could not be stronger.
Jun Yishen knelt down directly and asked for the guilt with a "poof": "It's because Weichen didn't think about it and made the emperor angry, please punish the emperor." β
Jun Yishen knelt there with his head down and was slightly nervous, I don't know what the emperor will say next, maybe power can really change a man, after ascending the throne, his mind is becoming more and more unpredictable, even if he Jun Yishen, people who know the emperor quite well can't see through it, especially when he comes back from this visit, although the search time is a bit long, it won't change so much, right?
The emperor put down the things in his hand, stepped down from the dragon chair, stretched out his white hands to Jun Yishen, gently helped him up, and then held his hand tightly, looked at his eyes seriously, and said slowly: "There is no need to be so polite between you and me, how many times do you have to say this sentence before you can understand it? No matter what you want to do, I am your backer." β
This promise is heavier than Mount Tai, and what the emperor said is serious, and it does not contain any water. Jun Yishen understands him, he also understands Jun Yishen, he knows that Jun Yishen is not so ambitious, or Jun Yishen's ambition is not in this, what Jun Yishen wants is not the throne or power, well, it should be said that Jun Yishen is not pretending to be personal interests, but the disputes in the world, so even if he gives Jun Yishen such a promise, he is not afraid that Jun Yishen will rebel and rebel.
How lucky it was for him to meet Jun Yishen and be accompanied by him? This is simply a gift from God, so he will cherish it.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. Looking at history, which emperor would say such a thing to his courtiers? The king's words are worth a thousand gold, so such a promise cannot be promised, but his emperor is a promise, and the person who is a confidant dies, how can such a person not be worthy of his heart-to-heart service?
"Hmm. The emperor walked back to his dragon chair, sat down and continued to look at Jun Yishen, wanting to hear what he would say to him next.
"I actually want to lift the fog on Hanchang's unjust case to see the truth, and when I came back, I could clearly feel that there was a pair of hands behind this that pushed this matter forward. It's just that I was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and I didn't find out who was behind the scenes. He may not have malicious intentions, but he just wants to borrow our hands to achieve some goals, I am not very happy, so I want to refuse, but Yue Zhengdao can't help but stop this matter, and I can let him go, but he has no official position, so I gave him the Son of Heaven Sword, and this is how it happened. Jun Yishen picked up the topic that had made him angry just now, changed the rhetoric, added some of his own mental activities, and slowly narrated.
"In this way, let Mo Lan of Dali Temple be responsible for investigating this matter, the old case is actually not interesting to turn it over, and it is very difficult, he still has some ability, he should be able to do it beautifully, and I will give you an answer in a few days." The emperor tapped his fingers on the table and gave an answer that Jun Yishen couldn't think of: let Mo Lan take over this tricky and possibly unflattering thing.
Yes, Mo Lan, the boss of Bihai Pavilion, Qingge's liaison in the East China Sea, he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the East China Sea, and his official position is not as good as Jun Yishen, but he is also enough to afford the title of a big man, after all, even the emperor knows this person, and he knows that he is talented, how can he be a nobody?
"Huh?" Jun Yishen couldn't turn a corner, this kind of thing should be solved by whoever stabs the basket, Yue Zhengdao naturally can't escape the fate of this pot on his back, but now the emperor has chosen another Mo Lan, what does it mean? Although that person is indeed talented, he is probably not willing to take over, right?
"What? Do you think Mo Lan is not suitable, there are other candidates?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, Dali Temple Qing is just a mix of eating and waiting for death, boiling a retirement qualification, Dali Temple is the second-in-command Dali Temple Shaoqing Mo Lan, this person is talented, and his heart is also passable, just right in this position, but some talents, it will be good to be promoted to Dali Temple in a few years, he is suitable for dealing with this kind of thing, it can be regarded as giving him qualifications and adding some deeds, and when the time comes, there are not so many people who oppose it.
"This ...... Does the emperor want to reuse him? I have heard that he seems to have intimate ties with a certain force. Jun Yishen said with a little hesitation, originally it had nothing to do with him who the emperor used or not, but the emperor trusted him so much, it was better for him to say it.
"It doesn't matter, although he is indeed very close to a force, but it does not matter, he knows what he is doing, and that force will not threaten the East China Sea. The emperor said this with a faint expression, just because Mo Lan knew his position, and Qingge also knew what he should do and what he should not do, so Mo Lan was still sitting in that position, and Qingge was also safe and sound.
"Is that so?" Jun Yishen muttered as he looked at the emperor who was explaining the question in a calm and unwavering tone.
He understood, not only why the emperor trusted Mo Lan, but also why the emperor had changed so much. He should indeed change, after all, he is no longer the prince, it was enough for him to take care of his various arrangements and arrangements back then; now his power is very great, his responsibility is also very great, and his vision is naturally much higher. He can tolerate the collusion of his courtiers with other forces, as long as they are clean and do not pose a threat to the East China Sea, then he can do anything in the East China Sea.
He just thought that they had to establish a temporary base in the East China Sea for some special reasons for some people, and by the way, he found a local big man in the East China Sea as a cover and umbrella, this kind of thing, he didn't care about most of the time, who you received, what information you transmitted, and what kind of effect it produced, it didn't matter, unless something happened enough to attract his attention, otherwise you were up to it.
If you don't threaten the East China Sea, this is that line, and if you cross it, you will die.
"Yes, do you think Mo Lan is suitable to do this? If you don't agree, you can change to someone else, but in my opinion, he is a good fit. The emperor asked Jun Yishen's opinion.
"Well, I thought at first that you would let Yue Zhengdao do this, although this matter will delay our arrangements, but we have also planned the next changes, but I didn't expect you to send someone else, and I couldn't react for a while. As for the other candidates...... It shouldn't be that Mo Lan is very suitable. Jun Yishen shook his head, Mo Lan's reputation and means he also knows, after all, he is also a fourth-grade master, and he is the second-in-command of an institution like Dali Temple.
Mo Lan is not a good person, a Qing official, but he is not a villain, let alone a corrupt official, it can only be said that he is not bad, after all, he is not a sage, how can he do everything and be impeccable? That makes people feel terrible. He is a member of the Mo family, one of the four major families in Kyoto, and he has quite a lot of resources in his hands, and his means are also ruthless when he should be ruthless, and gentle when he should be mild, which is quite powerful.
"It's better like this, let Mo Lan and Yue Zhengdao be in charge of this matter together, which can be regarded as easing the relationship between the four families in Kyoto. After hearing Jun Yishen's words, the emperor raised his eyebrows, he really wanted Yue Zhengdao to do this, but after thinking about it, it was better to let Yue Zhengdao solve his marriage earlier, settle down on his own, and be a mature man, so he chose Mo Lan, of course, it is not excluded that Yue Zhengdao could not solve the elements of this case. Now Jun Yishen seemed to be a little disappointed, so he quickly thought of a compromise for Jun Yishen and asked his opinion.
The corners of Jun Yishen's mouth twitched, easing the relationship between the four families in Kyoto? Relying on Yue Zhengdao? The emperor is inevitably too naΓ―ve? Don't say anything else, let's just say Mo Lan, he is about twenty-five years old, and he has grown up with Yue Zhengdao and them for half a generation, and as far as he knows, Mo Lan's generation is still quite high, if Yue Zhengdao is in the way of face, it is estimated that he will have to call others an uncle, plus Mo Lan's status, Yue Zhengdao has to do all kinds of etiquette in place in order not to lose the face of the Yue family. This kind of start also has to achieve the goal of easing relations, unless Yue Zhengdao is appreciated by Mo Lan and becomes good friends with others, and then under the promotion of the two core figures, the Yue family and the Mo family will have the opportunity to ease the relationship. But it's difficult, you let a guy like Mo Lan appreciate a gentleman from the bottom of his heart? This is more difficult than asking Mo Lan to investigate ten cases.
However, Jun Yishen didn't say it, the emperor's plan is already very good, and it will also help his friends to wash their reputation in Kyoto, after all, there is a god-level teammate who can lie down to join in, why worry about not killing the Quartet? After all, it is much more reliable than letting Yue Zhengdao go to refuel by himself, so he echoed: "Weichen thinks it's very good, the two of them will definitely get a satisfactory result soon to deal with this matter together, Emperor Shengming." β
"What kind of arrangement did you just say?" The emperor automatically filtered his words, there was no nutrition, I guess he didn't agree with it but pretended to agree, right? It's too fake.
"Eh, this ......" Jun Yishen was stuck, he didn't know whether he should say it or not, or he knew that he shouldn't say it, but when the emperor asked, it was a little bit if he didn't say it... Sin, although the emperor will not blame him, but anger is certain, this anger does not spread to him, and other people must suffer, he doesn't want others to suffer this unjustified disaster for no reason.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. Since Jun Yishen hesitated, he was unwilling to persecute him, but said a little unpleasantly.
"Actually, there is no arrangement, I just persuaded him to get married, but I want to prepare a relatively perfect wedding, so I have to ask for the consent of the woman's relatives, as well as the blessings of the people of Kyoto or something, but this is more difficult, after all, Yue Zhengdao's reputation is a little bad, although it is all small things, but I also plan to wash it away, so this matter is actually just a good use. When the matter is over, I still have to trouble you to give them a marriage or something, you see?" Jun Yishen hurriedly said, where did he dare to make the emperor sulk? If he really dares, which one is the real emperor, he or the emperor?
"Okay, you look at it, when the marriage is done, you tell me about the marriage, the holy decree, the congratulatory gift or something, I will send someone to Yue's house. The emperor pursed his lips after hearing Jun Yishen's last sentence, and said unhappily.
Some people will only give you face once.
When the emperor wanted to give marriage for the first time, if Yue Zhengdao did not escape, then it must be a great pomp and circumstance, and even when they got married, the emperor would personally come to congratulate him, which was regarded as giving Yue Zhengdao a big face, but Yue Zhengdao didn't know how to slip away, so he put it on hold.
The second time, that is, this time, Jun Yishen asked for an emperor's marriage for Yue Zhengdao, and the emperor also happily agreed, and there should be nothing less than Yue Zhengdao in a normal marriage, but the emperor will not attend, which also means that the royal family has a lot less affection for the Yue family.
This kind of thing, ordinary people can't see it, but the family is very sensitive, and Jun Yishen is naturally clear, but he has no way, the emperor doesn't blame Yue Zhengdao, it's already rare to be willing to marry again, and he takes care of his face, and blames Yue Zhengdao for being confused.
"Weichen thanked the emperor on behalf of Yue Zhengdao, and in addition, the minister still has something to do. After Jun Yishen thanked him, he straightened his face and said seriously.
"What's the matter?" The emperor's eyes moved slightly, but he couldn't think of what Jun Yishen was going to say, he was well aware of the recent major events in the East China Sea, and most of the things had to be discussed openly in the court, even if it was a formality, there was nothing that Jun Yishen had to tell him in private, and he had such a serious look.
"Since the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor has been conscientiously governing the country, and now it has been a while, after this visit, Weichen feels that even though there are still some old problems, but the problem is not big, and the slow reform can be solved, and he is not in a hurry for a while. At this point, the country is stable, and Wechen is very pleased. Jun Yishen said a bunch of unclear words, and paused at this point.
"What the hell do you want to say?" the emperor's expression turned cold, he seemed to have guessed, but he hoped that he had guessed wrong.
"But even if the East China Sea is settled on the surface, there are still some hidden dangers, the most serious of which is...... The harem is empty, the seat of the East Palace is hanging, the lord of the East China Sea has no concubine, and the affairs of the harem have to be handled by a eunuch, which has never happened in the history of the East China Sea, and we courtiers are very worried. Before, I only said that the country was in danger, you cared about the world, and you had no intention of being a woman, but it has improved recently, and it is time to consider this matter, and other adults have also admonished you, but it doesn't seem to be your mind, here I ...... again" Jun Yishen said this, and was coldly interrupted by the emperor.
"Enough, what the hell do you want to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush. His face was already ugly, as he expected.
"Please ask the emperor to open the draft and expand the harem. Jun Yishen knelt down and petitioned.
"What does this mean?" said the emperor coldly.
"It's the superficial meaning, the harem can't be empty for too long, especially the position of the mother of the country, please ask the emperor to choose the right candidate as soon as possible. Jun Yishen stubbornly said that he was scared for no reason, could it be because of the emperor's prestige?
"Heh, a good one is the superficial meaning, a good one to choose the right candidate as soon as possible!" The more the emperor spoke, the louder he became, the more angry he became, waving his hand to sweep everything on the table aside, crackling and the sound of porcelain breaking echoed in the imperial study, that is, the sound heard by the prince.
Jun Yishen knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, or even dare to move, he had never seen the emperor lose his temper like this.
After a long time, the emperor said a little tiredly: "Did you want to say it yourself, or did someone tell you something?"
When Jun Yishen heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little hesitation: "Naturally, I want to say it myself, I ......"
"Alright, you go out. The emperor didn't wait for him to finish, and waved his hand to let Jun Yishen leave.
What Jun Yishen's silence represents, in fact, both of them understand.
Jun Yishen felt that no one in the emperor's harem was inappropriate, but he wouldn't care too much, especially this kind of pimping thing, just do it for his friend Yue Zhengdao, and give it to the emperor... If it weren't for the old men begging him, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
After all, the emperor is young and strong, with their group of people to protect him, it is a small thing to live for another forty or fifty years, and when he figures it out or needs it, he will naturally fill it in the harem, and he is not Yue Zhengdao's awkward temperament, and there are a lot of girls who want to go to his bed, and he is not worried that no one wants it, so Jun Yishen did not panic at all and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
He is stable, but he can't stand to go to the Great Guangming Temple to touch a fish, and the old man sent letters and letters to urge him, begging, what "Lord Jun come back and save the East China Sea......" "The bad old man has no life left, I look forward to someone in the emperor's harem before he dies to give birth to a prince to come out, and there are no regrets in this life...... countless, and Jun Yishen has a headache when he sees it.
If these people are any kind of fame and reputation, the old guy who has no ability can forget it, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, and he doesn't bother to look at it for a second time, but these are all seniors with high morality and respect, and there are not a few veterans of the two dynasties, and there are also those of the three dynasties, who are the people he respects, he can't sit idly by, but he also knows what he says, the emperor will definitely be unhappy, who wants to be forced to marry every day? Fortunately, he has no elders above him, otherwise there is no one in the room at his age, and it is estimated that he will be nagged to death.
Because he understood the emperor's difficulties and did his best, Jun Yishen naturally didn't say anything more, but just said: "Weichen retires." He walked out of the imperial study, he knew that maybe after this incident, there would be a gap between the two of them, but he did it anyway, and had to do it.
