The daily life of the villain and the protagonist [Quick Transmigration]

Su Yi is going to enter the palace today.

As the eldest son of Marquis of Cheng'an, Su Yi also has another identity, that is, the companion of the current Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang was the same age as Su Yi, but because of the early death of Emperor Liang Wen, he ascended to the throne a year ago.

But like all young emperors who came to the throne at a young age, the power of Liang Chaotang is not in his hands, but controlled by Emperor Liang's biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhao, and his brother Zhao Situ.

Su Yi and Emperor Liang grew up together, and among the three princes who accompanied him, Emperor Liang had the best relationship with Su Yi.

Because of their older age, the other two companions had already been promoted to be officials. Only Su Yi, who was not in good health and had no intention of official career, was still in the palace from time to time.

Since Emperor Liang ascended the throne, Su Yi no longer had to go to the palace every day to accompany the emperor to study, but only went there for a few days every ten days, mostly playing chess or listening to scriptures with Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang liked to talk, and he would invite some famous scholars with excellent eloquence to talk about Taoism in addition to government affairs.

Not only Emperor Liang was like this, but Liang Qing talk was a common practice, and celebrities of the gentry studied Lao Zhuang and Zhouyi hard, and often held banquets, where they showed their whimsy and talked eloquently, which they regarded as elegant things.

When Su Yi arrived, Emperor Liang was sitting on the futon, listening carefully to the discussions of several famous scholars.

He took a closer look and found that they were all acquaintances, Dr. Guanglu Xie Wengong, Wei Shizhong whom he met at the Liucup banquet last time, and famous scholars who are famous for their talkative talk nowadays.

Seeing Su Yi, Emperor Liang didn't bother the three adults who were having a lively debate, but pointed to the futon that had been prepared beside him.

Su Yi sat on his knees and listened to the debate with Emperor Liang.

After listening for a while, Su Yi roughly understood that the topic of today's debate on Taoism was the sentence "Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders" in the "Tao Te Ching".

The three of them are all well-read scriptures and erudite people. When they debated, they cited the scriptures and allusions, and their tongues were brilliant.

Su Yi was so bored, he couldn't help covering it with his sleeve and yawned quietly.

Isn’t this the same as those things in philosophy on earth?

No matter how much you go around in circles, you will eventually be unable to avoid the classic three questions of life: Who are you?Where are you fromwhere are you going

Su Yi is a pragmatist, and has always sneered at these illusory things.

The debate is good, can you control food and drink? .

These so-called famous people yearn for immortals, detachment, and birth every day. In this world without immortals, they are all empty talk, but a way to escape reality.

Just eat and relax.

Instead of having this fantasy time, it is better to do something else meaningful.

Even though he thought so in his heart, in front of all the bosses, Su Yi didn't reveal anything on his face, on the contrary he seemed to be listening very seriously.

This chat lasted for another full hour before the three adults stopped, complimented each other, and made an appointment to continue next time.

Emperor Liang praised the performance of all the adults today, and gave a banquet, inviting the three adults to have a meal with Su Yi.

After drinking and eating, Emperor Liang took Su Yi to the lake pavilion in the back garden to play chess.

The pavilion in the middle of the lake is only connected to the shore by a horizontal bridge. The lotus in the lake is just blooming, and the koi are swimming under the lotus leaves. The stone tables and chairs in the pavilion are carved into simple animal shapes, which is very clean.

The breeze blew away the slight feeling of alcohol, and Su Yiyubai held the sunspots with his fingertips and landed on the chessboard.

The lotus fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, and the Huxin Pavilion was far away from the crowd, so Su Yi felt much more comfortable without being stimulated by various emotions.

This is the secret base of Emperor Liang and Su Yi since they were young. Because it is safe, there is no need to worry about the walls having ears.

Every time Su Yi comes here, he feels very relaxed, and I believe Emperor Liang is the same.

"Yi Zhi, I seem to seldom see you participating in the chat."

Emperor Liang dropped a white piece on the chessboard and said leisurely.

"It's just that the ambition is not here."

Su Yi replied casually.

In fact, this point is indeed very strange. Daliang's clear talk is a must for a famous family to socialize. Whether it is a true liking or a fake liking, the noble children will more or less study it.

Only Su Yi, although he has revealed his talent in poetry and prose, has never made a name for himself in talk.

In fact, he will deliberately avoid some banquets where there is talk.

Emperor Liang asked again: "I don't know how Yi Zhi views Qing Tan?"

Su Yi thought for a while, he was a little confused why Emperor Liang asked such a question, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Emperor Liang laughed, "You and I have been friends for more than ten years, can I blame you if you tell the truth? Of course it is the truth."

Su Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "According to what I saw, eight words are enough to describe this plain talk."

"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, dreamy bubbles."

After hearing this, Emperor Liang remained silent for a long time, unconsciously stroking the white jade chess pieces with his fingers, "If Yi Zhi's words are spread, they will definitely become the target of public criticism."

Su Yi just smiled lightly, "Don't dare to deceive the king."

He had discovered early on that Emperor Liang didn't seem to really like to talk like the rumors. Although he always invited celebrities into the palace, he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic in private.

Just now, Su Yi observed it with the secret method of the heavenly demon. In the casual conversation just now, Emperor Liang's real emotion was not superficial love, but what could be said to be disgust.

Emperor Liang sighed: "Nowadays, the scholar-bureaucrats study Lao Zhuang and Yi Li, talk about metaphysics all day long, and all yearn for people from other places, and hide themselves in the mountains as fairy hermits.

When I control the government, I often feel powerless. When I look around, there is no one in the court. "

Su Yi is silent, the current situation is like this, and it cannot be changed by manpower for a while.

However, why did Emperor Liang suddenly mention this to himself.

Emperor Liang looked at Su Yi and said seriously, "Yi Zhi thinks this is my fault?"

Looking at Emperor Liang's serious eyes, Su Yi knew in his heart that he had come to seek comfort.

Then he shook his head and said: "The style of Chongxuan in the Great Liang existed in the period of the first emperor, so how could it be His Majesty's fault."

Looking at Emperor Liang's eyes of "please continue", he thought for a while, and said: "If the reason is, it's just the turmoil in the current situation.

Although Daliang is stable on the surface, there are Xianbei in the north, Qianghu in the east, and Xiongnu in the far west... The barbarians all regard Daliang as fat and salivate.

Years of wars in the previous dynasty caused people to be displaced. Daliang has only been founded for a hundred years, and its vitality has not recovered. The people still have the fear of barbarian looting.

Under internal and external troubles, it is no wonder that some people pin their hopes on 'ghosts'. "

In fact, there is another very important reason that Su Yi didn't mention, which is the aristocratic family.

In Daliang, it is not the imperial family that really has the right to speak, but the eight great families, Wang Xie, Chen Xiao, Su Bai, Wei Zhao.

These eight aristocratic families have been in business for hundreds of years, with profound foundations and intertwined forces. They are related to each other by marriage and combine to form a huge force.

Half of Daliang's court halls are children or disciples of the eight great families.

The reason for this situation is because of Daliang's official system - the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

If you want to be an official in Daliang, there is only one way, which is to select Zhongzheng, who is highly respected among the officials, to recommend and evaluate the young people of the right age in each county and county from the three aspects of literary talent, virtue, and talent. .

And these selected talents with both ability and virtue are naturally mostly descendants of aristocratic families, who fundamentally monopolize the path of becoming an official.

After years of development and accumulation, the aristocratic families are strong. The place where they are located is like the emperor of the earth. Not only does he have a lot of fields and industries, but he also has his own private army and camp.

It can be said that the aristocratic families of this era have no awe of imperial power, because they have enough confidence.

So much so that in this war-torn era where barbarians from all over the world looked at each other like a tiger, there was such a situation as an iron-clad family and a flowing dynasty.

As for the power of the aristocratic family, it can be said that Emperor Liang felt a deep pain, especially his mother's Zhao family.

Now, he is just a puppet emperor.

Emperor Liang sighed and said: "Yi Zhi is a great talent, and the talk has spoiled the country for a long time. If I can get more talents like Yi Zhi to assist me, Daliang will have a different look."

He took a closer look at Su Yi's face, and let out a sigh: "I feel that Yi Zhi's complexion seems to be better recently, but he found a good doctor?"

Su Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I changed a prescription, and it has had some effect recently."

Seeing Emperor Liang's face showing joy, Su Yi instructed again: "However, Your Majesty should not reveal this matter yet."

Emperor Liang saw that Su Yi's face was different, and he, who was used to seeing the insidiousness of the court, immediately thought of something, and asked, "What's so strange about it?"

Su Yi lowered his eyes, and said sadly: "Recently, there are some eyebrows, which are still under investigation, so please keep it secret for your majesty."

Emperor Liang thought for a while, and then said: "If there is something necessary, Yi Zhi might as well speak up."

This is what it means to support yourself, Su Yi smiled, accepted Emperor Liang's affection in his heart, and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as Emperor Liang and Su Yi were talking happily, the personal servant guarding the lakeside pavilion hurried over, the smile on Emperor Liang's face faded, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The servant lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has summoned you."

Su Yi felt a wave of irritability rising in Emperor Liang's heart, and lowered his head, pretending to watch the chess game carefully, but thinking about it in his heart.

It seems that the relationship between Emperor Liang and Queen Mother Zhao is not as harmonious as rumored.

The servant added in a low voice: "Miss Situ's family came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother today."

Su Yi understood, it seems that the empress dowager summoned Emperor Liang for the daughter of Zhao Situ's family.

Could it be that the queen mother intends to make her own niece the queen?

It's not impossible. Getting closer is the best way to consolidate your status. If the Zhao family can produce another queen, the situation where the eight great families check each other will definitely change.

However, this was definitely not what Emperor Liang wanted to see.

Sure enough, Su Yi felt a surge of anger from Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang stood up, suppressing his anger in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and said to Su Yiwen, "Yi Zhi, let's stop here today."

Su Yi nodded, stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Emperor Liang nodded and strode forward.

Su Yi got up, looked up at the gradually cloudy sky, patted the wrinkled clothes he was sitting on, put his hands behind his back, with an interested smile on his face, and said softly, "The sky is going to change."
