when the wind and cloud cry

Chapter 42
The north wind howled outside the window.

Si Yu recalled the warning of her teacher Tianxing Jiuge, those who think about the country and teachers should judge the power, those who talk about the master should judge the emperor's feelings, and they must think about lust. If you study carefully, there is nothing to ask for the true feelings, which is the basis of this conspiracy. Don't talk to the wrong person. This famous person chooses the way of the king.

Although Yuan Feili is just an outlaw living in the rivers and lakes, Si Yu still took out the foundation of celebrities choosing a monarch, and asked tentatively: "I just listed the way of governing the country in this palace, do you have any opinions?"

Although Yuan Feili did not know the way of governing the country, he had his own way of chivalry, so he expressed his views in a simple and simple way: "I am not talented, and I don't know how to guide the country, but I think that governing the country is like governing a family. Those who are in power in various vassal states, if they don’t have enough bread in their own households, they go to grab other people’s bread. Although there is nothing wrong with their family and brothers, they are like robbers, and they have lost their righteousness!"

"Prince Chang of the Yi Kingdom governs the country with benevolence, he is a benevolent and righteous king, but he stops his troops to support the people, and lacks awe of a powerful country. You reason with others, but others use knives against you. Repaying grievances with virtue will never bring harmony to all nations. In the jungle surrounded by tigers and wolves, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, and a person without strong strength is not worthy of asking others to be moral. I think his Li family will be robbed sooner or later!"

As for Nanhai Penglai, Yuan Feili had nothing to say.

Who let the family be born in a place of good geomantic omen, there are too many cakes in the family and no one dares to snatch them, it can only be said that life is good.

The cattle and sheep in Beidi are fat and strong, and they are protected by the Prajna Temple, so they are in a corner.

Speaking of the Xuan Dynasty, after all, he grew up in this country, Yuan Feili couldn't help expressing a generous and tragic song, and his feelings were quite angry: "Nowadays, the imperial court is prosperous and the people are declining, and the state capital is divided. It won't be long before I die first. What are you talking about in the world!"

"As for doing nothing and doing everything, it's not worth mentioning why you have fattened rabbits, killed them and raised them again!"

Yuan Feili panted heavily, with fierce eyes as if he wanted to kill someone: "These two princes are treating the common people as leeks, fattening up brothers, wives and children, and then killing them to make human meat pies to feed the rest. Killing after getting fat is not something that humans do at all, it is simply inferior to pigs and dogs, and beasts are contemptuous!"

What a serious hostility!
Si Yu was slightly startled, but Yuan Feiru's reaction was also expected by her.

After all, the Jingxie Sword is a divine weapon of justice, and only the person holding the sword with a deep evil spirit can correct evil.

If this sword is given to a soft-hearted monk, and he earnestly persuades people to do good every day, that is the tragedy of this sword.

Now there are only four people in Xingyuan, so Si Yu had no choice but to use the cake as an example: "If Xiaodie made this sweet-scented osmanthus cake and brought it to Shuang'er, Shaoxia Li would protect it from being snatched, and this The palace is the head of the family!"

With that said, Si Yu pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "Then tell me, how should the cake be divided?"

Hua Tiandie said: "The slaves think that it should be divided into four parts, His Highness is the most respected, the biggest one is given to His Highness, the second is given to the young master, and the rest is rewarded to the slaves!"

From the perspective of Hua Tiandie, who was deeply influenced by the feudal etiquette, it is natural to distribute according to the concept of seniority and inferiority.

Yan Wushuang felt that whether Yuan Feili could become the emperor's son-in-law was undetermined, so there was no need to be polite to him, so she said: "Your Highness will take the biggest one, and the young master and servants will take the second place!"

"Sorry for your disrespect!"

Yuan Feili apologized to Si Yu first, and then said: "I think that Miss Xiaodie paid the most, and the biggest portion of this cake should be given to Miss Xiaodie, followed by Miss Shuang'er, and Your Highness should take the smallest one. One piece, that's only fair!"

Si Yu smiled meaningfully, and said, "Don't talk about the wealth and fame in the world, it's just this small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you have so many different opinions, who should I listen to?"

Yuan Feili seemed dissatisfied: "Your Highness thinks, how should we divide?"

Si Yu drew out a dagger and divided the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into five portions, one big and four small.

That's right, five servings!

Then Si Yu recruited the commander of the guards in front of the palace, took the largest piece and held it in his palm, and said to Jiang Sheng: "Commander, several people in this palace were just sharing this sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I know you are also hungry. This is the biggest cake." I'll give you a piece of it, how much silver do you think it's worth?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the last general has just had dinner!" Jiang Sheng murmured in his heart, His Highness is trying to take advantage of me, Lao Jiang!

Si Yu's smile remained undiminished, but it implied the power of the three: "I said you are hungry, so you are hungry!"

"Yes, the general is hungry, so I would like to offer a silver bead to buy this cake!" Jiang Sheng groaned secretly, one silver bead could buy twenty boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

"There are four people here in this palace!"

Jiang Sheng was not stupid, he said reluctantly: "The final general is willing to give four silver beads!"

In this way, Si Yu exchanged a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for four silver beads, then distributed them to Yuan Feili and the other three, and finally kept one for herself.

"Your Highness, excuse me for being dull, what do you mean?" Yuan Fei looked at Si Yu in confusion.

Didn't you say osmanthus cake?

Why did you divide the silver beads?
Si Yu asked him back, "What do you think is the essence of a country?"

Yuan Feili thought for a while, and said: "Thousands of people live together, huddled together for warmth, and resist foreign enemies!"

Siyu's phoenix eyes shone with wisdom, and she said eloquently: "The essence of a country is actually that the few people enslave the many people, and the few people occupy the majority of wealth. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. The best way is to use the current Some labor force to create more wealth, through the establishment of a comprehensive welfare system to achieve wealth redistribution, so that the world is shared by all people, the people elect people with both ability and political integrity as parents, everyone is honest, and cultivates a harmonious society. Therefore, everyone not only regards their relatives as relatives, not only their children as children, so that the elderly can have a place to support their families, young and middle-aged people can support their families and develop their talents, so that young children can grow up healthily, and the old without The wives, the old without husbands, the young without fathers, the old without children, and the handicapped are supported by the state. Men have jobs and women have homes. People are willing to do their best for public affairs. And it must not be for personal gain, so treacherous plots will not happen, and theft, rebellion, and harm to others will no longer arise!"

Si Yu finished speaking calmly and without fear, and said proudly to Yuan Feili: "This is what this palace advocates, the country is the master of all, and the world is the public!"

OMG!

That's right!
Is such that!

Yuan Feili seemed to be looking forward to something from the woman's smile, and she was so intoxicated.

"Isn't this the ideal society that everyone is looking forward to?" Yuan Feili, who came back to his senses, said in surprise: "Dare to ask Your Highness, how can we realize the co-ownership of the country?"

"It's easy to say, but it's also difficult to say it's difficult, but it's also easy to say it's difficult!"

Si Yu sighed softly: "It's easy to say, because most people look forward to such a society and what the people want, so it's easy to realize!"

"It's hard to say, because a few people don't want to let go of their rights and wealth. They don't want everyone to be equal, but they want to be above all people and call the wind and rain, grab wives and daughters as a dominance. You say it's hard, but it's not hard. ?”

After finishing speaking, Si Yu asked him calmly: "If you were a monarch, would you be willing to give up all the glory and wealth?"

Yuan Feili gritted her teeth and said: "I'm not like some people, who obviously have wealth that can't be spent in hundreds of lifetimes, but are greedy for all the treasures in the world, and who want to sit on the world's beauties even though they have a lot of wives and concubines. I hate such people." You can’t kill anyone on sight!”

Seeing that he was so determined, Si Yu was touched for a while.

With the current situation of the imperial court, only reforms can break the old system. Si Yu has repeatedly urged her father to reform the reforms, but the purge of officials has already caused a bloody storm, let alone a complete reform that will turn the world upside down?
Like the Xuan Dynasty, a court with internal turmoil, state capital separation, and treasury deficit cannot be rescued without forceful reforms, but the resistance is too great. It has already fallen apart, and it is by no means a king's determination.

Thinking of this, Si Yuyin felt a little helpless, and smiled slightly: "Do you still want to hear about my palace's strategy for governing the country?"

After listening to Si Yu's high-sounding remarks, Yuan Feili already admired this woman from the bottom of her heart, and said happily, "Please speak, Your Highness!"

"The era of great struggle is approaching, and the growth and decline of national power is the root of prosperity and decline. What is national power? First, there is a large population, the people are rich, and the heavenly industry is prosperous..."

While Si Yu was talking, Xingyuan suddenly stopped, and Jiang Sheng's voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness, Yangguan has arrived!"

Seeing that Yuan Feili was a bit disappointed, Si Yu said sweetly, "I will enter the inn later, you can come to my room, and I will talk to you later!"

"It's so good, I would like to be a bodyguard!"

Yuan Feili regained his spirits immediately, and handed the helmet to Si Yu. The two of them were still dressed as dragon riders, walked down the shaft fully armed, and walked towards the inn.

In the next few days, Si Yu and Yuan Feili often stayed together, ate and rode together, they only slept together.

One speaks with fascination, and the other listens fascinated.

Sometimes sighing, sometimes laughing.

Although Si Yu was often in the palace, it was rare for her to come out once in these years, but the Emperor Ji's mansion has many eyes and ears, and most of the things outside are clear.

Not only did she give Yuan Feili a detailed introduction to the changes in various countries and the characteristics of the military system, official system, folk customs, and kings, but she especially praised Qiye, the demon king of the Huanyue Dynasty.

Yuan Feili had been living at the bottom all the time, and what he saw was just passing through his eyes. For the first time, Si Yu's detailed and vivid narration opened up a vast world before his eyes.

His admiration for this imperial concubine is like a torrent of rivers.

And Yuan Feili's extremely high endowment, wit and intelligence also amazed Si Yu, and she regretted seeing her too late.
