?The carriage was driving on the streets of Yecheng. Yuwen Wen was sitting in the carriage, still wearing the Taoist robe during the performance. After the performance of "making money by boiling oil", he chatted with the little emperor for a while before щww{]lā}

The tragic Zhou Faming stayed in the palace and accompanied the young emperor Yuwen Gankeng to tell all kinds of strange stories and the customs and customs of Jiankang City. Not only that, he also had to spend the night in the palace because Yuwen Gankeng loved to listen.

Zhou Faming and Tian Yilong did not go back with the mission, stayed in Yecheng and Yuwen Wen until September. Based on the mentality of "having happiness and being hard to be together", Yuwen Wen felt that Zhou Faming had nothing to do in the mission, so he pushed him out to the tank.

Not only Zhou Faming, but also Tian Yilong was "harmed" by him. He would enter the palace in a few days and tell stories to the little emperor. With these two help, Yuwen Wen could finally breathe a sigh of relief and didn't have to chat day and night in the palace.

The wheels pressed over the bluestone pavement and made a creaking sound. The people on both sides of the road were crowded and sounded quite lively. Yuwen Wen couldn't help but sigh as he heard the movement outside the window.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties had developed commerce, and the Yangtze River Basin was also a region with relatively common circulation of copper coins. In the north of the Yellow River, many transactions used cloth instead of copper coins as currency, but Yecheng was an exception.

The commercial atmosphere in Yecheng is very strong. After all, it was a famous northern city at this time, with merchants from north to south gathering, and it was one of the end points of the Silk Road. Therefore, business is prosperous and people's values ​​are quite advanced.

To put it bluntly, it is to look at money, which leads to people's attitude towards current affairs being "out of the matter". This phenomenon was particularly obvious after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi six years ago.

Zhou and Qi confronted each other. Originally, Qi's national strength was far superior to Zhou. However, the imperial court fought internally and the emperor became ill one after another. After internal friction, people were disintegrated. Zhou took the opportunity to attack and finally succeeded.

As the capital of the former Qi State, Yecheng naturally had no sense of belonging to the new court. Three years after Zhou destroyed Qi, a civil war broke out. The general manager of Xiangzhou, Yuchi Jiong, raised an army to rebel against Yang Jian based on Yecheng. The people of Yecheng were to watch the fun.

On August 17, 2018, the second year of the Elephant, the Zhou Dynasty's imperial army arrived at the southern suburbs of Yecheng. Yuchi Jiong led his troops to attack. The two sides fought fiercely outside Yecheng, and then the people of Yecheng brought their families to watch.

For them, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. It has nothing to do with them anyway. It's OK to win any side, singing, dancing, and dancing. Zhou Guo himself is going to fight to the death, and they just need to watch the show.

As a result, the situation of the court army was not good during the fierce battle. Seeing these onlookers, the people of Yecheng attacked the "off-field audience" without expecting that the other party would "unruly" attack the "off-field audience". They scattered in panic, which made the Xiangzhou army think that their back formation collapsed, and then the entire army was defeated.

The defeated Yuchi Jiong retreated to the city and committed suicide by waving his sword at the end of his desperation. All of his elite 10,000 "Yellow Dragon Soldiers" were killed. The battle ended in an incredible way.

‘The world has changed. I never expected that Zhou State would be reborn in the hometown of Qi State, and I don’t know what will happen in the future.’ Yuwen Wen thought so, and as he thought about it, he thought about what happened in the palace just now.

He was not worried about the trick being exposed immediately. There was no need to take such a small thing to heart. Yuwen Wen cared about another thing, something he had not noticed before but had just noticed.

The little emperor Yuwen Gankeng was acting and kept acting, and he was almost hiding it.

Yuwen Wen performed "making money by making money by boiling oil". Yuwen Gankeng quickly noticed the strangeness and then pointed it out. Yuwen Wen's pretended profound plan failed. A simple thing inadvertently revealed the true face of Yuwen Gankeng's veil.

As of today, Yuwen Gankeng gave Yuwen Wen the feeling that he was a child who grew up in the deep palace and did not know the taste of sorrow. He was the Emperor of the Great Zhou, but his real power was firmly controlled by the Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong.

Maybe he is still young, maybe he is not yet enlightened, or maybe he is coaxed by other people's sweet words. After several contacts, Yuwen Wen couldn't see any complaints about the current situation, or he inadvertently showed a similar attitude.

After all, he is a child and his emotions are prone to fluctuations, but he has never complained or dissatisfied. Yuwen Wen concluded in his heart: the little emperor may be of Adou type.

So at the court meeting that day, the young emperor did not change the "plan" temporarily according to the pre-arranged steps and tried to keep Yuwen Wen until the New Year before leaving. Yuwen Wen felt that the other party was probably emotional and thought that his relatives would stay for a while, so he forgot his "agreement" with the prime minister.

This idea was later confirmed: Yuwen Gankeng also apologized and said that he was emotionally excited for a moment, so he forgot his previous agreement. Yuwen Wen went to the palace from time to time to tell stories to Yuwen Gankeng during these days. After paying attention to observation, he also felt that Yuwen Gankeng's behavior was normal.

He looks carefree and likes to listen to all kinds of novel stories. He is like a young man from an ordinary wealthy family, and is full of curiosity about the world outside the high wall. All the other party's performance is similar to Yuwen Wen's nephew.

After all, both sides are of similar age and like to listen to strange stories, and then they are so scared that they can't sleep. Then they still want to listen. This is the manifestation of a normal child. The only difference is that Yuwen Gankeng is always showing the emperor's posture, like a little adult.

The more I looked at him, the more I looked like Adou, so Yuwen Wen’s focus was on Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong, who only hoped that the other party would work hard like Prime Minister Zhuge and help the old ministers in two dynasties, and the situation would be much better.

As a result, today I found out that I was wrong!

Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong assisted the government. According to the "convention" of this era, it was impossible not to stop being around the young emperor, observe and grasp the other party's words and deeds at all times, so as to take measures before his attitude deteriorates.

If Yuwen Gankeng is "heartless" and does not think that the eunuchs beside him are the eyes and ears of others, then he will naturally be without any scruples when speaking; if the little emperor becomes enlightened and thinks that the people around him are the eyes and ears of others, then he will think twice before he can act when speaking.

However, in what happened just now, Yuwen Gankeng's performance was not reliable.

First, he said, "I guessed it", but he didn't continue, but leaned into Yuwen Wen's ear, whispered, "The smell that just came out of the pot was mixed with vinegar", and then sat back.

Under normal circumstances, it should be one of two manifestations: either, the little emperor directly asks the tips for making money by boiling oil; or the little emperor asks the left and right to retreat before asking.

If the little emperor asked directly, he might not have thought so much, and did not consider the problem of secret leakage, or he just thought about it, but he felt that the people around him were reliable and did not think that the secret would be leaked.

Yuwen Wen classified this behavior as state one, which means not being careful of the people around him. This behavior is consistent with his age and is considered childish.

Another manifestation is that the little emperor should ask the left and right to retreat, and then ask the tips for making money by boiling oil. This shows that he has a sense of confidentiality and further said that he feels that the people around him are unreliable.

Yuwen Wen summarized this behavior into state two, that is, beware of people around him. Being so scheming at a young age is considered precocious.

However, the other party did not let the left and right retreat, but he was confidential. He whispered in Yuwen's ear with a smell of oil mixed with vinegar, but then he did not ask what the trick was. It was contradictory to show it both childishness and precociousness.

One of the contradictions: not allowing left and right to retreat, but have to be careful of the other party. That is to say, for some reason, the little emperor did not drive away, but he did not want left and right to hear some of his conversations.

Contradiction 2: Yuwen Gankeng and Yuwen Wen whispered, but they ended after saying a word. There was no long talk, which means that the little emperor minded whispering for a long time.

There are conflicts, and there are conflicts, and there are stories. The stories revealed between these two contradictions made Yuwen Wen "can't help but fall into deep thoughts."

Contradiction 1. Since the little emperor wants to keep it secret, why don’t he let the left and right retreat? Yuwen Wen felt that even if the eunuch was placed by someone, he would not give the little emperor face.

If Yuwen Gankeng directly asked the eunuch to retreat, the other party might not be happy, but he would have to take care of the little emperor's feelings. After all, it would not be good to do too much in front of foreign ministers.

That is, the little emperor is unwilling to act like this, which makes someone feel unhappy.

Contradiction 2. Since you have started to whisper, you ended with just one sentence. This behavior shows that the little emperor felt that the whisper was inappropriate, so he didn't say much. Then the inappropriate behavior would just make someone feel unhappy.

The two manifestations of contradictions can be summarized as one in the end, that is, the young emperor knows his own situation and tries to avoid "misunderstandings". The specific manifestation is that Yuwen Wen has never been able to get along with Yuwen Gankeng from beginning to end.

When the emperor and his ministers met and talked, the little emperor had eunuchs on both sides. Of course, Yuwen Wen would not make ill plans, and Yuwen Gankeng was not afraid that Yuwen Wen would assassinate him. It was nothing more than that the eyes and ears had to grasp the development of the situation and 'listen' beside him, and the little emperor did not want to break this situation.

The story Yuwen Wen told was a bit terrifying. Yuwen Gankeng was a little scared. It would be fine to have someone beside him at night to enhance his courage. Listening to the story in broad daylight also followed two people, which only shows that the little emperor is really afraid of "ghosts".

Since you are worried, if you have concerns, if you are afraid of someone’s misunderstanding, why bother whisper? After all, the trick to making money is not a shocking secret, and there is no need to keep the secret strictly.

A person's true thoughts can't help but show them in every move, and Yuwen Gankeng's whispers shows a problem: the little emperor is subconsciously resisting.

Even if it was a small secret, he didn't want the eyes to hear it. As the saying goes, Yi Ye Zhiqiu, Yu Wen Wen's judgment was that Yu Wen Gankeng did not care about being monitored, but he was extremely disgusted in his heart.

On weekdays, the little emperor hid this emotion very well, but today the child's heart burst out, and he saw through the flaws of Yuwen Wen's trick. He was so itchy that he immediately spoke, saying, "I understand."

But I subconsciously felt that the conversation around me would leak, but I didn't want this to happen, so the little emperor used whispers to tell the flaws, just to worry that this behavior would cause someone to misunderstand after it was spread. So I briefly said the flaws and ended the whispers.

‘I said no, but my physical reaction was very honest.’ Yuwen Wen thought so.

Yuwen Gankeng has always acted like a good boy, carefree young emperor, and has completely trusted the Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong. He seems to have no idea that the people around him have eyes and ears. The specific manifestation is that he does not meet and talk to others alone.

This is to reassure someone, let him know that he is "very obedient" and is a good boy.

But he resisted this situation in his heart, so even if he was just a trick to make money, he subconsciously refused to let the eyes and ears hear it. According to the terms of the animal kingdom, the little emperor already had a "territorial consciousness".

In other words, Yuwen Gankeng's mind has surpassed his age and is dissatisfied with the current situation, but he knows how to pretend to be naive. His acting skills have fooled Yuwen Wen away.

If it weren't for the unexpected gains brought by today's performance, he would really think that the other party was A Dou's rebirth.

‘I thought I could see through the other party, but I took it a look and was deceived by a little guy. This is a slap in the face... Yuwen Wen thought that the little emperor seemed not simple, and he had a sense of resistance in his heart, but he acted respectfully and knew how to cover up his thoughts.
