Luo Xin looked at Wan Daquan again and said, "Daquan, how about Dazhuang's ability?"

"The foundation is good, but it's still a lot worse."

Luo Xin nodded and looked at Niu Dazhuang and said, "Dazhuang, now you have two choices. One is to be an ordinary servant in the Luo Mansion. As long as you are loyal and diligent, you can. The second choice is to join the Luo Mansion's guard, which is my close guard. You must always protect my safety, and of course you will always face life danger. However, your strength is not enough now. If you want to become my personal guard, you will be trained by Wan Daquan. If you can't stand it, just be an ordinary servant."

Niu Dazhuang felt relieved of his heart, and at the same time, he was moved. Luo Xin did not have the intention to kill him. Do you still need to consider this? He immediately said:

"Mr. Marquis, a villain can bear any hardship. A villain wants to become your personal guard."

"Okay!" Luo Xin said to Wan Daquan: "He will leave it to you."

"Don't worry, Marquis, I will train him hard."

"Go!" Luo Xin waved his hand.

Wan Daquan took Niu Dazhuang out, and Luo Xin put away Zhai Dongrang's portrait. He got up and changed into casual clothes, and left through the back door. Two quarters of an hour later, Luo Xin appeared in Maosheng Hutong.

"master!"

When Wang Cuiqiao saw Luo Xin coming, he came happily to meet him. The two had not seen each other for many days. Luo Xin also had some longing for him, so he put down his thoughts, closed the door with Wang Cuiqiao, and went to bed.

More than half an hour later.

Wang Cuiqiao lay on Luo Xin's body, gently drew circles on Luo Xin's chest with her fingers:

"Master, what do you have to tell me?"

Luo Xin reached out and stroked Wang Cuiqiao's smooth spine and said, "We are anyone in Prince Jing's Mansion?"

"have!"

"Send someone to contact He Xinyin and make an appointment with him to meet at the old place in Jiajialou. The code for contacting him is the Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger and the Baota River Demon."

Xu Mansion.

In the study room.

Xu Luqing looked at his father sitting opposite him sadly. At this time, Xu Jie's hair had turned gray and he was ten years older. His back, which was not very straight, was even more hunched.

"Father!" Xu Luqing's voice was filled with a hint of crying: "You are already the chief minister of the cabinet, why should you..."

"Cabinet Chief? Haha..." Xu Jie laughed twice with self-deprecating smile: "I am the Chief Chief? I am just a puppet of the emperor. He was cautious and cautious in his father, because he did not have the strength to kill Yan Song. He flattered the emperor for his father, and even ignored the people, and built the Yuxi Palace because he was an ant who could be killed at will in front of the emperor. But he didn't want to be like Yan Song for his life, but he didn't want to be like Yan Song for his life, but he was just a dog of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. When his owner was happy, he threw a bone to the dog. When he was unhappy, he kicked the dog and even killed the dog.

And what about the dog?

No matter whether you are in a good mood or not, you can only wag your tail when you meet your master.”

Speaking of this, two lines of turbid tears flowed in Xu Jie's eyes and said in a low voice:

"I don't want to be a dog like that. The literati is not a dog. It should be the literati and the royal family ruled the world. However, for the father, he could not fight against the current emperor, so for the father, he had to put his hopes on the next generation of emperors. Originally, the father chose King Yu. King Yu was cowardly and easy to control, and he had always done a good job in his father. However, who could have thought that a Luo Xin appeared out of thin air. With his cleverness and flattery, the child actually won the trust and dependence of King Yu, and gradually squeezed out his father, and even made King Yu start to hate me.

In this way, even if King Yu ascended the Great Treasure, what does it have to do with me?

It was He Luo Xin who called the wind and rain, not his father.”

Even his father, Xu Luqing couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart. Is Luo Xin smart and flattering?

He was the real war god of war, he was the real great scholar who had published books, and he was the capable minister who truly solved the finances of the Ming Dynasty. However, these words could not be said, so he whispered:

"Father, as long as Luo Xin can achieve the rule of the world by the literati and royal family, isn't this also a realization of his father's ideal?"

"Can that be the same?"

Xu Jie glared at Xu Luqing angrily, then sighed and said, "Luo Xin is too young, so I'm worried about my father!"

Xu Luqing said silently for a moment: "Father, does every prime minister with ideals have to go on this path against the emperor?"

"Yes!" Xu Jie nodded firmly and said, "Every prime minister with ideals will do this. If he doesn't do it, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that he can't do it. I believe that even Yan Song was not without that ideal back then, but that he couldn't do it. Just like being a father now, he could only pin his hopes on the next generation. Therefore, he planned this way for his father and wanted to gain the dependence of King Jing. But...ah..."

"Then...must it be so? Can the literati and officials live in peace with the royal family?"

"You are too young! The literati and the royal family cannot live in peace." At this point, Xu Jie showed a look of relief on his face:

"You can ask this question today, which also means you have grown up. I am very happy for your father."

"But... why?" Xu Luqing was still confused.

Xu Jie's eyes became deeper and said, "What is our Confucian philosophy of governing the country?"

"Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues!"

"Yes!" Xu Jie said in a narrow voice: "But among the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, the Lord is the highest Bond, and there is no constraint on the Lord."

"Constraint on the emperor?" Xu Luqing's face showed shock.

"Yes!" Xu Jie sighed and said, "All things in the world are mutually generated and restrained. A king without mutual restraint is a disaster for the world. Everything acts according to the king's preferences. How can that country be good?

Throughout history, the demise of every dynasty was because the emperor lost his constraints. Therefore, the constraints on the king became the function of the prime minister of every dynasty.

but……

We are not doing well by the scholars and officials, and we can even say that each generation is worse than the other.

Lu Qing, you are also familiar with history. You should know that in the powerful Han Dynasty, when the prime minister took office, the emperor would salute the prime minister, called the prime minister. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the prime minister could sit in front of the emperor. In the Song Dynasty, the prime minister could only stand, and look at the position of prime minister that has been cancelled in the Ming Dynasty.

All right!

This cabinet chief is also equivalent to the prime minister, but even if we, the chief ministers of the Ming Dynasty, were standing, we were frightened.

This should not be the treatment that a prime minister should have. As a prime minister, he is the leader of a literati and official, and he has the obligation and responsibility to limit the power of the emperor."
