Ye Liuyun looked at Mrs. Meng: "If I don't look for you again, I will send someone to send you back to Anyang County." ”

"Who else?"

Mrs. Meng couldn't help but ask.

Ye Liuyun didn't answer or look at her again, got up and walked out, Mrs. Meng wanted to ask about Meng Changan again, but the words came to her mouth after all, Ye Liuyun's indifference made her afraid, and what scared her even more was the devil in her own heart, the past decades ago was vivid, although she had not killed anyone with her own hands, but because her husband had killed people and seized money, she had no worries about food and clothing.

When a person begins to regret not necessarily because he has become kind, and there is no one in this world who should forgive sins, whenever and where.

After leaving this small courtyard, Ye Liuyun received a letter before he returned to his study, and when he opened it, he found that there was only one sentence, three words to be exact.

Come to the Academy.

This is naturally the handiwork of the old dean.

About an hour later, Ye Liuyun had already arrived at the academy, he didn't go to the main gate, there were many people, at this time, if the old dean looked for him, it would definitely not be a trivial matter, and because the old dean was sick, there were always so many people at the main gate of the academy, although the old dean only wrote three words, Ye Liuyun understood that this meeting could not be ostentatious.

Entering the old dean's small courtyard, Ye Liuyun found that the old dean's complexion was actually good, there was no sick look, sitting in the yard was looking at the fish pond in a daze, he built a fish pond in his yard the year before last, raised a few koi, and some guests would say a few words to the old dean to see how big my fish are? The largest koi was at least five feet long, and it was actually that long when it was caught.

"Sir?"

Ye Liuyun leaned over and bowed.

The old dean smiled: "Look at my fish ......"

Ye Liuyun: "Sir, this fish is the ...... I helped find"

Old Dean: "Well, then let's not talk about it, get used to it, get used to it." ”

Ye Liuyun looked at the old dean carefully: "Sir, it seems that there is no big problem." ”

"It's been a long time coming, but it's just a matter of pulling a few bubbles, just thinking about taking the opportunity to be more pure, and also taking the opportunity to think about some things."

The old dean glanced at Ye Liuyun: "I know you are curious why you came to you at this time, because this time is very good, many people outside know that I am sick, since I am sick, of course I will not see guests, because I really haven't seen anyone." ”

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun knew that things should be more serious than he expected, although he didn't know what the old dean was going to say.

"There's something I need to make clear to you."

The old dean looked at Ye Liuyun and said seriously: "If Han Zhaozhi is also here, I will also invite him today, but he is in the Western Xinjiang, with your relationship with him, I told you, and you will naturally tell him." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Although the illness recovered quickly and neatly this time, I suddenly woke up, if I get sick again, I may not be able to survive, at this age, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal things, but I died...... There are also some things that some people can't put down. ”

He looked at Ye Liuyun's eyes and said: "The reason why I want to find you is because you have been in the rivers and lakes for nearly thirty years, thirty years, you know better than those adults in the court what is human sophistication, what is spirit, what is possible and optional, although you have now become an official, but in fact you don't have the mentality of onlookers and don't have that kind of means, and I, I can't enter the cabinet because I am not suitable to be an official." ”

Ye Liuyun said: "Sir, please make it clear." ”

"It's easy, too."

The old dean was silent for a while and then said: "Your Majesty wants to appoint the second prince as the crown prince, although it is not well known to everyone, it is not much worse, after the battle of Western Xinjiang, the second prince returns, and the prince will be established, so ......"

Ye Liuyun asked, "So what?" ”

This is a very clear thing, of course the second prince Li Changye will become the crown prince, and no one knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

"So, I came to you to ask for Gu."

Togu!

The old dean had no heirs.

Ye Liuyun immediately stood up straight.

"There are three favorite disciples in my life, one is Your Majesty, needless to say, and the other is Meng Changan, you also know his ability, and you probably know his temperament, three ...... He wasn't a disciple of the academy, but I taught him a lot of things, and that was Shen Leng. ”

Ye Liuyun listened quietly, and he felt more and more that the old dean's words today would definitely be very shocking.

"After Your Majesty's thousand years, the second prince ascended to the pole."

The old dean said: "At that time, there is no need to worry about Daning, because Your Majesty has prepared enough for Daning, and the black warriors will not recover within ten years, even if they recover after ten years, Daning has developed for another ten years, and the black warriors are still not Daning's opponents, so if the black warriors are smarter, they will not take the initiative to provoke them within twenty years." ”

"Northern Xinjiang is stable, Western Xinjiang is also stable, Tang Baobao is only in his thirties, you don't need to worry about being a general for 20 years, Ye Jingtian in Southern Xinjiang is your brother, don't worry."

When he said this, Ye Liuyun was keenly aware of something: "Mr. is worried about Dongjiang? ”

"These words shall not be spoken to a second person."

The old dean let out a long breath: "Your Majesty's eloquence is vast and unprecedented, and your Majesty, the emperors of Daning for hundreds of years, have been acting on behalf of Mingjun, and our Majesty has a long-term and broader vision...... His Majesty chose the second prince to inherit the throne, and from now on, the second prince will definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs like His Majesty, but ......"

The old dean seemed to be sorting out the words, and coughed a few times because he was a little anxious, Ye Liuyun hurriedly brought the water to the old dean: "Sir, slow down." ”

"It looks like everything is stable, right?"

"Yes."

"What about the Cabinet?"

The old dean suddenly mentioned the cabinet.

"The Cabinet depends on the presence of adults, and it will be worry-free for at least twenty years."

"You, you have been away from officialdom for too long, Your Majesty has set a candidate for Sijiang, but there are two candidates who have not been clear, think about it yourself."

Ye Liuyun thought about it carefully and thought of one of them: "General Lantai? ”

"yes."

The old dean leaned on the chair and sat down: "I tentatively asked Your Majesty a few times, Your Majesty said, the platform can't move, even if the platform is already old, his lance won't move, inside and outside the court, the whole country, everyone will guess who can take over as the general of the forbidden army, who is the highest voice, who is the person Your Majesty revealed intentionally or unintentionally?" ”

"It's Shen Leng."

"Yes, but why didn't Your Majesty move? According to common sense, the generals of the four frontiers have all changed, and it is time for Shantai to retreat, and it is not too early to lay out the forbidden army ten years in advance, so if His Majesty really chooses someone to be the successor of Yuanshu of Tangtai, he has already made arrangements, and the selected person has already become familiar with the forbidden army, and Shen Leng is still in the water division, and he is still the general of the water division, so ......"

Ye Liuyun was shocked in his heart: "So it is impossible for Your Majesty to let Shen Leng be the general of the forbidden army." ”

"Yes."

The old dean said: "Your Majesty will never let Shen Leng hold the power of the forbidden army, why did you press Shen Leng to the water division and not move, it is because the water master is far away from Chang'an......"

Ye Liuyun's nervous palms began to sweat, and a calm person like him began to get nervous, you can imagine how terrible the speculation behind these words was.

"Your Majesty doesn't plan to let Shen Leng take over as the general of the forbidden army, it's for the sake of the second prince, this is human nature."

The old dean took a sip of water and continued: "But this means one thing, Your Majesty...... His Majesty is not so relieved of Shen Leng, trust and peace of mind are two different things, you know. ”

Ye Liuyun swallowed hard and spat.

The old dean continued: "Now let's talk about the second candidate. ”

"Who?"

"Cabinet First Auxiliary Scholar."

The old dean looked at Ye Liuyun's eyes: "After the second prince inherits the throne in the future, what is Lai Cheng?" Lai Cheng will be a transition, and he will soon give up the position of the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and Lai Cheng himself knows this, otherwise wouldn't he be the second Mu Zhaotong? When the new emperor ascends the throne, he naturally has to use his cronies to do his cronies, and can you see who the future is for the position of the first assistant scholar of the cabinet? ”

Ye Liuyun asked, "Isn't it Dou Huainan?" ”

"Dou Huainan is the person recommended by Shen Leng."

The old dean shook his head: "From the time His Majesty transferred him back to Gyeonggi Province to be the Provincial Government, I knew that His Majesty did not intend to let him enter the cabinet. ”

Ye Liuyun recalled carefully, and it was indeed not.

"Dou Huainan is the same as Lai Cheng, when Lai Cheng will retire, Dou Huainan will also retire, maybe Dou Huainan himself has seen it clearly, he has no chance to display his ambitions and talents in the cabinet."

The old dean let out a long breath again: "I don't know the candidate for the general of the forbidden army, and I don't know the candidate for the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, what can you probably think of?" ”

The general of the forbidden army, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, these two candidates for His Majesty are to be left to the second prince to choose by himself, no matter how much His Majesty trusts Shen Leng, he will not hand over the forbidden army to him, nor will he hand over the cabinet to the people he recommends.

Ye Liuyun wiped the sweat in his palm on his clothes: "So what Mr. means is that Shen Leng will have a ...... in the future Undulating? ”

"Life, how can there be no ups and downs."

The old dean said: "Your Majesty trusts Shen Leng, but has only made the preparations and arrangements that Your Majesty should do, and the second prince should also trust Shen Leng, but can it be the same after becoming the emperor?" ”

Ye Liuyun sighed: "Even if it is trust, there will still be changes, and the most correct thing to do after the second prince ascends to the pole is to go to Shen Leng." ”

The old dean nodded.

There are some things that can't be said anymore, and they are already very clear.

The first thing His Majesty did after ascending to the pole was to start suppressing Mu Zhaotong, of course Shen Leng and Mu Zhaotong are different, but in a sense, it is the same, when the second prince does not want to move Shen Leng, there will be many cronies around the second prince who want to plan, once a son of heaven and a courtier.

"So, it's Tuogu."

The old dean took a deep breath to calm his mood a little.

"If something happens to Shen Leng in the future, Meng Changan will inevitably have an accident, if I am not there at that time, please help you and Han Zhaozhi more, at least let them live."

Ye Liuyun also took a deep breath.

"Sir."

His eyes flickered: "At that time, did Han Zhaozhi and I still have the ability?" ”

After saying this, the old dean and Ye Liuyun fell silent.
