155. On Politics
Wang Yueyao on the side suddenly spoke: "In the seventh layer of the party, as soon as Brother Feng said the first sentence, he told the so-called talented people to retreat and get out of the way, for fear of causing a big crime of killing their heads." I didn't expect Shi Gongzi to be so bold that he actually wanted to discuss this aspect with Brother Feng, but I don't know if Yang Gongzi also has such courage?"
Yang Shouye's knowledge is also not shallow, so he can naturally hear that Wang Yueyao's words are to compare himself with Shi Chaoyi, and to divide the cooperative relationship between the two of them who share the same hatred and hatred and unanimously target Tang Ling, and immediately said: "Since Brother Xiaoling has such exciting remarks, Shouye's curiosity has also been hooked, and I hope that Brother Xiaoling will be successful." ”
Having said that, Yang Shouye's face was full of disdain. In his opinion, although he knew that Tang Ling raised this topic, he might not have an in-depth discussion, and the so-called "not speaking directly about politics, a thousand words in vain" was just Tang Ling's trick to win.
But Tang Ling was not as Yang Shouye imagined, I saw that he also raised the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then spoke: "When the Empress Wu entered the palace to serve Taizong in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Taizong saw that he was smart and strong, and he also mentioned his knowledge many times, so in the policies implemented in the early days of her accession to the throne, she also had the style of Zhenguan's legacy, lenient and tolerant of people, discerning people, and decisively employing people. Although the world said that she was reckless and had uncertain likes and dislikes, they didn't know that this was just a move she made in order to screen out suitable talents, so later Yao Chong, Zhang Khan Zhi and other virtuous ministers stood out and assisted the dynasty, which is one of the points of Xiaoling's 'inheritance'. ”
"What does 'Xia Qi' mean?" Shi Chaoyi asked again, he could hear Tang Ling's few words, and he felt reasonable, so the "Xia Qi" in Tang Ling's mouth had aroused his greater interest.
"Speaking of Xia Qi, it is precisely the point that Empress Wu laments. Tang Ling sighed first, "The world only knows that she has seized the Li family for 20 years, but they don't know that she has independently borne the bitterness of the country." ”
When Yang Shouye heard this, he immediately sneered: "Stealing the country and traitors, there is also bitterness?"
"Of course. Tang Ling said, "With the help of Taizong, Empress Wu has seen the vastness of heaven and earth and mastered the greatness of the world. In the later years, although she was in the dynasty with Gaozong Li Zhi and Zeng Ersheng, in fact, most of the matters were already undertaken by her independently; after becoming emperor, she focused on consolidating national strength and seeking a peaceful and prosperous era for future generations, and assumed the responsibility of governing the country alone with the delicate body of a woman, but there was no confidant to confide in, why was it not bitter? Compared with later, after returning to power, although the great country returned to the hands of the Li family, if it were not for Zhongzong's cowardice and Ruizong's inaction, how could Empress Wei and Princess Taiping have the heart of being called emperor? Later, although Xuanzong has some ability to set things right, it is a pity that he still inherited the political achievements of the Empress Wu, and compared with the latter, he is even less decisive in killing. ”
Hearing this, Yang Shouye sneered again: "Lang Lang Qiankun, peaceful and prosperous times, where is there chaos? Brother Xiaoling said that the current emperor has no reason to set the chaos and overlord, but to a certain extent, there is some truth. ”
Tang Ling's face did not change, and he didn't seem to take Yang Shouye in his eyes: "Taizong ruled the country, Wen has Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui, and Wu has Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin, which can be described as full of talents; Empress Wu was in power, boldly appointed Yao Chong and Zhang Khan Zhi, although there were occasional evil officials in the court, but it was enough to stabilize the country; now Emperor Xuanzong Ming, although he has created a prosperous era, but in recent years, he has rarely asked about political affairs, and the hearing and hearing have been confused, may I ask how many steps are there from the turbulence of the troubled times?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed greatly. Although it is said that it is about politics, but after all, it is only around the deceased Empress Wu, and now after Yang Shouye's sneer, Tang Ling pointed the finger at Li Longji, who is now sitting on the country, how can they still be calm?
Yang Shouye was the first to react, and as soon as he slapped the table, he angrily reprimanded: "Bold Wind Howling Ridge, you actually dare to be alarmist and criticize the current emperor, right?"
Tang Ling's face remained unchanged: "Since Brother Fang Cai and Brother Shouye want to discuss politics with Xiaoling, Xiaoling will naturally not shirk it, and what he means in his mind will naturally not be contrary." As Fang Cai Xiaoling said on the seventh layer: If you don't speak directly about politics, a thousand words are in vain. What's more, Brother Shouye is so excited, I'm afraid it's not just because Xiaoling is attacking the current emperor, right?" After that, Tang Ling even gave up his usual indifference, and instead returned an extremely provocative look to Yang Shouye.
What Tang Ling said about Tang Ling said that Li Longji was becoming more and more mediocre, but he also pointed out that the subordinates who confused the public would be the culprit of the troubled times in the future. Yang Guozhong, the father of Yang Shouye, himself relied on the identity of his uncle, and when it came to practical learning, he was mediocre, Tang Ling's words were directly aimed at him, how could Yang Shouye, as a son of man, endure it? Even if he offended Shengwei as an excuse to attack.
Shi Chaoyi sat aside, although he was also shocked by Tang Ling's outspokenness, but what surprised him even more was that Wang Yueyao's face was calm, as if he had never had any worries about Tang Ling.
Not to mention that Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but the power position of himself and Yang Shouye is enough to make this mountain traveler disappear into Chang'an City silently, isn't Wang Yueyao worried about him?
Could it be that there is some unfathomable background in this Wind Howling Ridge?
While Shi Chaoyi was thinking about it, Yang Shouye was already on the verge of exploding, but at this moment, a voice mixed with a bit of anger had come from the stairs.
"A good sentence 'If you don't speak directly about politics, a thousand words will be in vain', this friend, it's a good thing to be arrogant, but aren't you afraid that being too proud will cause trouble for yourself?"
Shi Chaoyi and Yang Shouye followed the sound, and saw that several figures had approached the eighth layer, and the first person was Wang Yueyao's father, Wang Jianzhou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and followed by the owner of Fang Cai's voice, Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of the dynasty.
Seeing Yang Guozhong's arrival, Yang Shouye was immediately overjoyed and stepped forward quickly: "Father, are you here?"
Yang Guozhong's face was gloomy, he only nodded to Yang Shouye, and then looked at the thin figure sitting with his back to him. Tang Ling's words, he had already heard them all, and he was already disgusted by this open-mouthed young man in his heart. I saw him pacing squarely, walking straight towards Tang Ling, who was still sitting in his position and had never turned around to greet him.
Yang Shouye followed closely, with a triumphant look on his face.
Wang Yueyao also walked in front of Wang Jianzhou at this time, saluted and said, "Father, why are you here too?"
Wang Jianzhou's face was relaxed, he glanced at Yang Guozhong's back, and said in a low voice: "Your uncle Guozhong came to visit you tonight and proposed to you." ”
When Wang Yueyao heard this, her pretty face was suddenly covered with frost: "Father, you didn't agree, did you?"
"I have dismissed his request. Yang Shouye, although his talent is good, it is not appropriate to be your husband. Wang Jianzhou's face also had a bit of gloom, "Later, Xiaoya reported, saying that you have found the mysterious knight who saved your life that day, and traveled with him to the Lantern Festival. I didn't expect your uncle Guozhong to come with him, saying that he wanted to meet this mysterious knight. ”
"Seemingly, the show is about to begin. Wang Yueyao rarely had a bad smile on her face.
