The emperor walked in front, Lai Cheng followed behind, cautiously as if he was afraid of stepping on the emperor's tail, Lai Cheng didn't know why this idea appeared in his head, he felt that he was really afraid of stepping on the emperor's tail now, so he was a little stuck when he walked, but he didn't notice it.

The emperor suddenly asked, "What do you want?" You didn't hear what I asked you? ”

Lai Cheng subconsciously replied: "Tail." ”

"Huh?"

"No, it's not ......"

Lai Cheng hurriedly collected his mind and let out a long breath in his heart...... In fact, what he just thought of was not a tail problem, even the tail was not the emperor's tail, but what His Majesty was doing was to close the end, cut off the last tail, then His Majesty could really relax for a while, but this tail was indeed too big, and the big one made Lai Chengdu feel a sense of powerlessness.

His Majesty's idea is actually not overnight, Lai Cheng knows this very well, and His Majesty's thoughts are becoming clearer and clearer, starting from the emperor of the Rest Empire, Galocliu, who was arrested in Chang'an City, and His Majesty met him once.

"It's not that I've just started thinking, and it's not for a while, I have to start thinking from the first year of Tiancheng, and I shouldn't have moved my thoughts before the first year of Tiancheng."

The emperor said as he walked: "You say tail? The word tail can indeed be fitted, and then the fit point is that the tail is not lost...... I was also saying just now that the first sentence of Emperor Taizu's testament is that the Li family must not forget benevolence, whether I am or my ancestors and ancestors, we all know what Emperor Taizu's benevolence refers to, Taizu raised troops in troubled times, was born in a reckless manner, and can win the world, one is that Taizu has won the hearts of the people, and the other is that those old brothers around Taizu have all worked hard, and Taizu has said more than once that this is benevolence. ”

The emperor's footsteps stopped, and he looked back at Lai Cheng: "As far as you know, in the hundreds of years since Daning was founded, which emperor has forgotten this kindness?" ”

Lai Cheng shook his head: "No." ”

The emperor said: "I also know no, including me, in fact, I don't want to, it's not like there haven't been any high-flying people in the past, but it's just not enough, because of the four words of ingratitude and connivance, I am actually a person who is afraid of backing and infamy, but I ......"

The emperor looked at Lai Cheng again: "Do you think if I really did something, would I be scolded harshly?" ”

Lai Cheng: "It's not worse than the minister's scolding." ”

The Emperor glared at him, then nodded, "That's right." ”

The emperor looked at Dai Fangzhou: "Give those things to Lai Cheng." ”

Dai Fangzhou hurriedly handed Lai Cheng a thick dossier held in both hands, and the emperor walked to the position of the gazebo in front of him and tightened the big box on his body: "Look at yours, I look at the scenery here." ”

Lai Cheng hurriedly responded, and then found a leeward place to open the file to read, only looked at the first few pages, and his heart tightened suddenly, as if he was strangled by something, his heart and throat, and for a moment he felt that even his breathing was a little unsmooth, if the things written in this dossier were spread, it might make the entire Daning shake, and the things that Mu Zhaotong did were not even a storm compared to the things recorded in the file.

The emperor glanced at him, and Lai Cheng's reaction was within his expectations.

"I have said more than once that the real enemies of Daning are never those foreign enemies, who can fight

The only one who defeats the Ning people is the Ning people, and the one who can destroy Daning can only be the Ning people, the South Vietnamese people think that they can confront Daning by combining some effects, I let the South Vietnamese people know that they can't do it, the black warriors have always looked down on the Central Plains country, and naturally they also look down on Daning, but I also let the black warriors know that they can't do it. ”

The Emperor's gaze fell on the dossier, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "I can say very arbitrarily that I have no scruples about enemies other than Daning, and I can defeat any enemy, but I dare not say arbitrarily that everyone in Daning is of the same mind as me...... The last thing I want to do is to doubt my own people, do it to my own people, Lai Cheng, I have already done everything I can do, I have beaten too many times, saying that it is beating, why not give them a chance. ”

The Emperor continued to take deep breaths and looked at the vast world outside.

"I don't dare to be ungrateful."

He looked at it and said, "There was a sound of wind, and it was the response of the earth."

The earth seems to be saying, Your Majesty, the earth knows you.

The emperor looked at the sky, and there were clouds moving in the sky, and the clouds seemed to say, Your Majesty, the sky knows you.

At the same time, Chang'an.

Tsing Yi Building.

Han Zhaozhi sat on the chair and tasted tea, not only did he not have any praise for this white tea, but he also looked disgusted, although this tea is not cheap, but it was bought by Ye Fubian, no matter how expensive it is, he and Ye Liuyun are so picky about drinking tea, just one glance, they don't need to drink it, they can tell whether this tea is good or bad.

"Funding is limited."

Ye Fubian glared at Han Zhaozhi: "If you dislike it again, then don't drink the public tea, you bring it yourself." ”

Han Zhaozhi: "Can you not drink mine if I take it myself?" ”

Ye Fubian: "With your provincial government, why don't I drink it?" ”

Han Zhaozhi: "......."

"Get down to business."

Ye Fubian said: "Your Majesty asked you to have a fake intention to the grassland and a false intention to the northern frontier, but it's not just for the rivers and lakes, any of the three of us in Chang'an City can easily settle the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so why use all three of us." ”

Han Zhaozhi pointed at Ye Liuyun: "He can." ”

Then he pointed to himself: "I can." ”

Finally, he looked at Ye Fubian: "You may not be able to." ”

Ye Fubian glared at him: "Can you get down to business?" ”

Han Zhaozhi took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, still disgusted: "You say." ”

Ye Fubian said: "What Your Majesty asked us to do, the things that you investigated, in fact, are not earth-shattering, but if you want to do it, Daning will shake it twice...... I remember that His Majesty once said that the real terrible enemy is never outside Daning, but within Daning, at that time I still thought that Daning is his own people, what else can his own people do, but until now I understand what His Majesty means by this sentence. ”

Ye Liuyun smiled and said: "Actually, how to say it, if the matter is serious, it is indeed serious, more powerful than fighting with the black warriors, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually a few spoiled children in the family." ”

Ye Fubian said: "What you said is light, if it were really that easy, these days one of you will check in the northeast, one in the northwest, and finally you will go to Gyeonggi Province to check, and then return to Chang'an, I put together the three of us to find out, after reading it, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night, people's hearts, how can it be so sinister." ”

"The human heart is not

There will be sinister and unprofitable for no reason, and there will not be so many people who are sinister, and there will be nothing unprofitable, and there will be nothing profitable, because if there is so much profit but there is no profit, people's hearts will be worse. ”

Han Zhaozhi said in a flat tone: "You think it's a big deal, because if you look at it from Your Majesty's point of view, it must be very big, because Taizu's testament is ungrateful, and it is precisely because of this sentence that there will be people who have been spoiled for hundreds of years, and they are also relying on Taizu's testament, but if we look at it from our own point of view, is this difficult to do?" ”

Ye Fubian said: "You are no longer the Du Tingwei of the Tingwei Mansion, and you still have the smelly and hard smell of the Dutingwei when you speak." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "What if I still do?" ”

Ye Fubian was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "I have already sent a copy to Taishan, please allow Your Majesty to allow me to come back and continue to be the captain of the Duting." ”

Ye Liuyun said: "I have also sent a copy to Taishan, please allow Your Majesty to allow me to continue to be the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

Ye Fubian was silent, and suddenly came to his senses: "It turns out that His Majesty transferred you to the Criminal Department to do things, and he was already preparing for the future, if the original person was still in the Criminal Department, many things would be difficult to do, and many crimes would not be convicted, but now that the two of you are back to the Imperial Governor's Mansion and the other are back to the Criminal Department, then many things will be easier to do, besides, Your Majesty suddenly transferred you, but also to let some people relax, Han Zhaozhi is no longer in the Imperial Governor's Mansion, and Ye Liuyun is not in the Criminal Department, so what is so terrible, they can't think of it, You'll be back so soon. ”

Ye Liuyun raised the teacup and said to Han Zhaozhi, "Thank you Silly Lengzi." ”

Han Zhaozhi also raised his glass and gestured: "Thank you stupid Lengzi, if it weren't for Your Majesty pulling this stupid boy and suppressing me and you in the name of suppressing him, those people wouldn't really relax." ”

Ye Liuyun said: "Some people still think that Your Majesty is in a hurry, and they also think that this matter is very difficult to do." ”

Ye Fubian: "Are you talking about me?" ”

Ye Liuyun: "You remove the word "" and the question mark." ”

Han Zhaozhi: "Add an exclamation mark." ”

Ye Fubian: "Let's get down to business." ”

He picked up a file on the table: "Start with this? ”

Han Zhaozhi looked at the words on the file and nodded: "I can only start from this, without this, there would not be so many things later." ”

Ye Fubian opened the dossier and pulled out a wad of paper, the first page, the first line...... In the winter of the thirtieth year of Daning Fuyou, the first emperor feasted his ministers at night.

Ye Fubian looked at it and said to himself: "That night, someone said to His Majesty the First Emperor that His Majesty has an eagle serving a wolf, and the First Emperor didn't say anything at that time, just nodded. ”

His gaze left the dossier and looked at Han Zhaozhi and said, "At that time, Your Majesty had already shown abilities and demeanor far beyond ordinary people, but Your Majesty had one thing that made those people extremely worried. ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "Your Majesty is not close to them. ”

At that time, the prince Li Chengtang, who had not yet been named the king of Liu, was indeed not close to those nobles, he preferred to drink with a group of people from poor backgrounds in an inconspicuous tavern, and he was not willing to go to any elegant halls, he preferred to talk with a group of mud-legged people about the harvest in the vegetable field this year, and he was not willing to talk about what Fengyue was with a group of Yashi.

But the eldest prince Li Chengyuan at that time was different, his relationship with the old family of Xungui was very close, very close.
