Tang's dining table

Yong Wangxian said bitterly: "Can I tell the prince brother that there is no hope of climbing the dragon's ladder in this life, and I just want to bury my head in a pile of old papers and read the classics?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Why not?"

Li Xian said in surprise: "Can you say?"

Yunchu said with a smile: "King Yong is the son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson. Climbing the dragon ladder is right at your feet. Whether you want to climb or not is a matter of your highness's thoughts. Once you want to climb, you will have to compete with such an outstanding person as the prince. The future will be difficult. Materials, retreat and not climb, but also have to fight with the obsession in the heart.

Therefore, I feel sad even if I ascend, and unwilling to retreat.

If Your Highness has the sole belief of climbing the dragon, then go for it, think openly and openly of the welfare of all people, accept the world's talents for your own use, have the world in mind, and see thousands of miles away. If you fight like this, I will only feel happy, but in the future. When encountering any difficulties or hardships, Your Highness should not feel sorry for yourself.

However, judging from the current situation, your prince brother has gone too far on this road. If His Highness wants to pursue him, he will have to hurry up from today on. "

Li Xiandao: "The county prince doesn't think highly of me?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "I remember that when your brother first came to my home to be taught, he was only five years old. He was pretty and attractive, but he was a little weaker.

He is very picky about food and only likes to eat sweet porridge. His ministers told the prince that if he wanted to be strong, he must give up sweet porridge. As a result, from the age of five to the present, the prince has never used sweet porridge or eaten a bite.

For his own ideals, the prince abandoned sweet porridge. In the years to come, he also abandoned laziness, playfulness, and enjoyment, and took the initiative to accept the most rigorous military training from his subordinates.

Over time, the prince's frail body has been greatly improved, and he has built himself a majestic martial arts body. Although his martial arts skills cannot reach the height of Emperor Taizong, he should be unparalleled among the royal family today. Enemy.

This is the price and achievement the prince paid for his ideals.

You also know that your brother, the prince, has been a farmer since he was seven years old. The prince of the Tang Dynasty, even if his status as prince is removed, he can still support his father even if he works in the fields as a farmer. After motherhood, the wife is free from the worries of hunger.

Not to mention that he has been collecting fine seeds from all over the world for more than ten years, recruiting talented people to cultivate and improve these fine seeds. Once the cabbage comes out, everyone in the world will benefit, and will not suffer from the lack of vegetables in winter.

Nowadays, the double-cropping rice he personally cultivated has been successfully planted in Lingnan. Harvesting two crops of rice in one year can alleviate the suffering of the people in the south who have no food to satisfy their hunger. I believe that with the cabbage issue, the prince has won the support of the people in the north. As soon as the rice harvest comes, the people in the south will feel deeply for the prince.

The world, the world.

In fact, it refers to the people who live in my hometown of the Tang Dynasty. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. The prince has gone too far on this path, too far. "

After hearing what Yun Chu said, Li Xian was silent for a long time, and then said, "I don't have a good teacher to teach me."

Yunchu said with a smile: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Your Majesty once learned about this from the late Sikong Li Ji. His Majesty once praised Sikong Li Ji, Your Highness, saying: This child has read "Book of Secrets", "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Rites". "The Analects of Confucius", reciting more than ten ancient poems and poems, which can be understood at a glance and will not be forgotten.

I once asked him to read "The Analects of Confucius", and he read "The wise man changes his color" and recited it again and again. I asked why he read it over and over again, and he said that he loved this sentence very much, and then he realized that this child's intelligence comes from his nature.

Your Majesty can say this to Sikong Li Ji, which shows your deep love for His Highness.

His Highness, Liu Nayan, Ge Xiyuan, Xu Shuya, Cheng Xuanyi, Shi Zangjie, Zhou Baoning and others commented on Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and my ministers have also read it. It is indeed a rare and good book.

With such an achievement, why would His Highness say that he cannot have a good teacher? "

When Li Xian heard what Yunchu said about Shi Zang, he said angrily: "They are the ones who harmed me."

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said: "Everyone has good and evil in their hearts. It is the responsibility of the master to abandon the evil and promote the good. The one who harms Your Highness is not others, but His Highness himself. The authority lies with Your Highness. Your Highness should control it well and easily control it." Entrusting authority to others is a recipe for death."

Li Xian cupped his hands and said, "How do you distinguish between good and evil in your ministers?"

Yunchu returned the courtesy and said: "A few days ago, I was taught a lesson by a Silla maid. She said that with Li Ji's death, the last person in the Tang Dynasty who can be called a god has died. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will have only There is no upright master of conspiracy."

Li Xian slapped the case and said, "Kill him quickly."

Yun Chu looked at the angry Li Xian and said, "I think what she said is right."

Li Xian frowned and said, "That's right?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Yes, that's right. Take your Majesty as an example. It was Your Majesty's order to install His Highness's teeth. I just came directly like today and asked His Highness to bite the teeth, but because it was too much Some ideas, please come over gently.

The relationship between the minister and His Highness is not harmonious, and if the matter is left in the hands of others, His Highness will inevitably have distracting thoughts. Things that were originally simple will become complicated, and many speculations will arise for no reason.

It won't happen anymore. Your Highness has made great contributions. Yunchu came to congratulate you. Your Highness is at fault. All I have to do is speak out and remonstrate with you. Let everything return to its original state. This is the teaching I received from that Silla maid. "

"The Duke thinks the lonely king should do the same?"

Yun Chu stood up and said with a smile: "Life only lasts for a few decades. It's better to be yourself. In this way, I have settled the matter for today, so I will resign."

Li Xian looked at Yun Chu who was leaving, and at He Lanminzhi who had been standing by him: "Are you good or evil?"

Helan Minzhi looked at Yun Chu's back and said, "People who are extremely treacherous and evil often have a kind and honest appearance."

Li Xian continued to look at He Lanmin and said, "So, are you a loyal and kind person, or a treacherous and evil person?"

He Lanmin said: "I am a dog and a horse under the throne of King Yong."

Li Xian sighed and said, "Shi Zangjie also said so."

After coming out of Prince Yong's Mansion, Yun Chu felt somewhat guilty. Everyone said that the royal family grew up soaking in the pool of conspiracy from birth. However, it can be seen from today's contact with Prince Yong that this child Still too immature.

He has not yet formed his own independent personality and is easily influenced by the outside world.

Originally, he was thinking about further influencing King Yong, but suddenly thinking of what Jin Yuru said, Yun Chu found that he was really scared. Just like what Jin Yuru said, the court of the Tang Dynasty cannot be filled with a bunch of treacherous ministers... …

"From today on, we must do things with dignity."

Yun Chu said this when he saw Rou Wen early in the morning.

Wen Wen immediately nodded and said: "It must be so, it must be so. I have been suffering from insomnia recently, and I am always thinking about calculating this person and which person. Over time, it is not good for my health."

Yun Chu looked at Wen Wen and said, "I want to be upright."

Wen Wen said: "You must be upright. Tell me who you plan to beat. I will cheer for you."

Yun Chu said: "Some people say that the Tang Dynasty is full of traitors and sycophants."

Wen Wen nodded and said: "You are absolutely right. Li Jingxuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, secretly sent a letter today, saying that he wants to place his son in Chang'an County. I will go back and refuse now and won't open this back door for him.

However, he also said that we can have two free quotas for Chang'an's replacement of officials this time, which means that we can promote two people we want to promote.

Look, how should this matter be resolved? "

Yun Chu said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Lao Zhang of Fa Cao has been in the position for six years. He has worked hard even without merit. If he can't be promoted to the seventh rank this time, if he misses this year, he will never have the chance again. .

He is also an old man who has been waiting for him for six years, and it is quite unbearable to watch. "

Gentle and embarrassed said: "Yes, his affairs are difficult to handle, mainly because he was born a slave. Just because of this, he can't go from being a clerk to an official, unless Li Jingxuan can wipe out his past with a big stroke of a pen. Lose.

There is also the tax collector Lao Jin, who could endure four years without taking any money, and worked from dawn to dusk to get money for Chang'an. If such a person is not promoted, I am afraid that it will dampen the ambition of the officials in Chang'an.

There are at least two people like him. One of them you promised will be among the promotion quotas this year. We can't just keep our word. "

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Isn't it possible to be promoted in a dignified manner?"

Wen Wen shook her head decisively and said: "It can't be done, and it's impossible."

Yun Chu covered his forehead and groaned: "Then tell Li Jingxuan that his son can enter Chang'an County, but I want four free places. If it is feasible, I can let his son come to work under me in Wannian County."

Wen Wen sighed and said: "His son-in-law went to Wenxi County, Hedong to serve as the chief clerk before the Liushui brand was destroyed. If this continues, Chang'an will become the ladder for his Li Jingxuan family to get ahead.

This is not in line with our upright purpose at all. "

Yun Chu looked at the gentle and sarcastic face, spread his hands and said, "Let's think about it in the long term. Let's get over the immediate situation first."

Wen Wen said angrily: "I think it's better for us to be upright, lest the court be filled with traitors in the future."

Yun Chu said: "We can make concessions on other matters, but we should stick to our hearts."

Wen Wen sneered and said: "It's too late. The residential buildings of the Nancheng reconstruction project have been completed. The relocated people will move in, and the commercial residences will be built soon. There is still a sum of money from the merchants who have not paid to others. Once the Wu family Brothers are settled, and the commercial and residential project is about to start. According to our previous arrangements, it will definitely be a mess.

This is not considered upright, but the Queen gave me the money happily, so she is considered upright. "

Yun Chu looked at Wen Wen and said, "Otherwise we won't cheat the Wu brothers."

Wen Wen shook his head and said: "How is that possible? We will invest all the money we will receive from the unfinished renovation project in Nancheng into the Yellow River Ring Project. The initial payment was all advanced by Chang'an.

Nancheng can't get the money, and by the end of the year, there will be a huge deficit in the books of Chang'an and two counties.

Let me tell you, this time, your family has no money, and my family has no money. Even if we want to repair the hole, we can't.

Of course, you can go to your Aye and cry again. "

Yun Chu waved his hands irritably and said: "Forget it, forget it, when these nonsense things are over, we can be upright again."
