Chapter 41 Lanti Golden Terrace-2
In the Chugong Hall, there was a clear and fragrant fragrance. In the copper incense burner, three dragon head fragrances, benzoin and Shenzhen fragrance emitted wisps of blue smoke, circling around the hall. Mermaid candle lamps hung on all four walls burning quietly, illuminating the palace with no shadow.
"There are many villains among the ministers who compete for power and live in the officialdom, and play tricks to flatter the world during the event, form cliques and private interests to exclude dissidents. In short, the emperor should not be mistaken by these villains. Whenever he decides the government, he should not be lazy. He should leave all the matter to the ministers. He should have his own ideas, and he should not let the ministers see through your ideas."
Zhao Qi said in a deep voice with confusion on his face: "Father, since you know they are villains, why don't you scold them all?"
Zhao You meditated on a golden silk cushion. Behind the wide Taoist robe was the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, and the front embroidered with a dragon and phoenix auspicious beast. He looked at the third prince Zhao Qi with kindness in his eyes and said slowly: "It is because the world is prosperous and prosperous, and the world is governed by gentlemen. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. With the wisdom of Zhuge Wuhou, he only said, "Family with wise ministers and stay away from villains." He did not say that he would repel all villains. As a ruler, he should use straight ministers instead of being mistaken by straight ministers, and use villains instead of being bullied by villains."
Zhao Qi replied respectfully: "My son understand."
Seeing that his face seemed to understand but not his expression, Zhao You sighed and explained, "The so-called straight ministers are divided into true and straightforward. The so-called straight ministers are divided into true and straightforward. The so-called straight ministers are deceived by the king to steal fame, talk about benevolence and righteousness, and are arrogant when they are proud. They are arrogant and domineering in the world. In fact, they are rampant in the court and the king, and are eager to make private interests. Sometimes they are frustrated, and they are resentful, some are cynical, or pretend to be crazy and corrupt customs, which is useless to the world. Confucius said, it is difficult for women and villains to raise. If they are close, they are not inferior, and if they are far away, they are resentful." Zhao You smiled a sarcastic smile on his lips, "From this perspective, these people who seek fame and reputation can be regarded as equals for villains."
Speaking of this, Zhao You couldn't help but think of the party members' monument and the case of unveiling the letters that shocked the world, and felt a little regretful. If he hadn't felt exhausted and was unwilling to be corrupted by his descendants in this peaceful and prosperous era, he wouldn't have made these emperors' thoughts speak out.
"The so-called true and straight ministers, with a fair mind, only the country and kings in their eyes, and they all ignore them. They will inevitably fight against the court and anger the superiors. Ji An of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi of the dynasty were true and straight ministers." He paused and said, "The so-called state has a wise king and only have a straight minister. Such a minister must be preserved. This is also the true meaning of the ancestors' teachings of "not killing scholars and officials or those who write to the letter to talk about things". As long as the emperor is more gentle, be careful not to be mistaken for it."
Zhao Qi said in confusion: "Since the ministers are loyal and should be the pillars of the country, why should we be careful to be mistaken for them?"
Zhao You whispered a low voice, which scared the third prince Zhao Qi's legs and his vest was sweating. He just wanted to not admit his mistakes and apologize, but heard his father sigh and said in a deep voice: "It is not easy to say, 'It is better to take the straight and not seek the curve'. Things in the world change in all directions. If you are not familiar with the ways of adapting to implement administrative affairs, it will inevitably not work. Even if the government has a way of adapting to deal with it, it will be hindered everywhere. Therefore, people should be employed in a different way, both honest and loyal way, and also round and transforming to make them restrict each other, and do their best to govern for the talents of the king."
Zhao Qi looked at his father's uncertain face and suddenly realized something in his heart: "Is this the same thing the father gave to Mr. Yang after his death?"
He couldn't tell the truth, and he was talking quickly, but Zhao You showed a hint of relief on his face and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is indeed naturally intelligent, that's exactly what it is."
Zhao Qi's heart was only in his stomach, and he heard Zhao You say, "Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan and others are growing in power, and they need Qingliu to curb it. Although there are many people who seek fame and reputation here, they are still quite conscious of the current affairs. In recent years, although I have not made any major moves, I am always beating those who are lucky. Now they are considering Qingliu's reputation and cannot get closer to you. When you inherit the throne in the future, you will naturally conquer Qingliu's hearts with a little favor. By then, the emperor is a generous and generous benevolent monarch. Qingliu's ministers have gained the reputation of taking into account the overall situation and working hard to serve the country. The world is peaceful and prosperous times are expected." Zhao You said as he seemed to see the future prosperous scene, with some light coming from the corners of his gray eyes.
"My son understand." He suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart. What Zhao You may not know is that in recent years, the important ministers of Qingliu have seen that the emperor's intention to be Yi Chu is irreversible. Although they have not changed their sects, they have already expressed their kindness to the third prince Zhao Qi. Now the sects of the Crown Prince Zhao Ke are neglected. Only the chief censor Qin Hui and the deputy chief of the Privy Councilor Shaowu have been ordered to visit the Eastern Palace from time to time. However, even Shaowu has made several friendly actions towards the third prince.
"Okay, okay!" Zhao You's lips showed a hint of relief. Seeing Zhao Qi's face hesitating, Ai Sheng asked, "What else do you have to worry about?"
"This," Zhao Qi hesitated and suddenly knelt down and said, "Father, I forgive my sins, I just think that my elder brother is older than me and lives in the East Palace for a long time, but my son is wrongly loved by my father, I feel guilty!" He mustered up the courage to say, his two trembling slightly.
"Is there any guilt in my heart?" Zhao You was stunned, looked at Zhao Qi carefully, his eyes were covered with gloom, and then sighed and said in a low voice: "Get up. I have my own instructions on Ke'er, so the emperor should not seek trouble." Seeing Zhao Qi standing up, a hint of annoyance suddenly surged in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor should be good at understanding the way of controlling the subordinates. After returning, we should read more about the scriptures of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Taizong of Tang. Okay, let's go."
Zhao Qi then retreated like a general amnesty. Zhao You looked at his trembling back with complex eyes. "Do you really feel guilty? Or..." A bitter smile appeared on his face, "If you were the king, it would be better." In the Chuigong Hall, the moonlight was cold and became more and more deserted. Zhao You stood up and walked slowly towards the harem. Now, only those young and beautiful concubines can he return to his youth briefly.
The fields of spring were full of brilliant flowers. When a spring rain came, even the desolate Gobi Desert had a cluster of tender grass. After a long journey, the soldiers of Chengying Eighth Battalion lingered and enjoyed this rare beauty. After passing the uninhabited Gobi Desert in front, they entered the boundary of the Xijing Road of Liao. The marching carts were left to the guide of the Military Information Department to deal with it. Whether it was the cavalry or infantry, they were now three horses. Later, the Eighth Battalion of Chengying became a horse thief with more than 700 people on the grassland, penetrated through the gaps between the nomadic tribes that depended on the Liao Kingdom, marched in the grassland desert outside the Great Wall, and under the guidance of the Military Information Department, they crossed the Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road, and arrived at the Huanglong Mansion of Tokyo Road in Liao Kingdom. It is said that the Han army was there to pick them up.
"Since you have become a horse thief, why not burn, kill and loot all the way?" Wang Tongdengyao looked at the wild flowers in full bloom and said with great pleasure. Zhao Xingde raised the horse whip and cursed with a smile: "If you delay the trip, you should stay here as a horse thief." He looked at the horse terrain. It is said that the military intelligence department had a seat and escort in the front. Thinking of this word "escort", Zhao Xingde felt funny, and the military intelligence department also regarded himself too strong.
"Here, here!" Suddenly, the figure of the cavalry centurion Jian Cheng appeared on the distant horizon, and he also brought ten cavalrymen. Jian Cheng went to contact the Military Information Department to visit him. He saw that the white smoke came from far away, and it was not long before long. The soldiers of the Chengying looked happy, but Zhao Xingde's eyes suddenly stern. Following Jian Cheng, a cavalry again appeared on the horizon, with shadows arranged in a straight line and moving forward slowly. It seemed that there were actually two or three thousand cavalry, and I didn't know whether it was a friend or an enemy.
