Chapter 1083: Reflect on Yourself
What is the weight of a person?
As soon as the news of the old dean's illness spread, the atmosphere of the whole Chang'an changed, and I don't know how many carriages and how many people will come to the gate of the academy every day, but all the people who visit are stopped outside the door, His Majesty said not to disturb the old dean's purity, so the civil and military officials can only go to the door to ask, but there is still an endless stream, why is this?
That's the weight.
His Majesty said that they were not allowed to disturb the old dean's purity, but they still had to come, and they had to have an attitude.
How important the old dean is to His Majesty, how important it is to the whole Daning, everyone knows that the relationship between His Majesty and the old dean is not only a monarch or a master and apprentice, but also like a father and son, if one day Daning does not have an old dean, then it is not just a court minister that is lost for His Majesty.
East Warm Pavilion.
It's almost the beginning of April, according to the practice of previous years, His Majesty has moved to live in the Mao Zhai, His Majesty doesn't like the temperature in the East Warm Pavilion, but this year has not moved, the courtiers guessed that it is related to the old dean, His Majesty does not like the warmth, but the old dean does not like the wind and cold, he is sick, His Majesty postponed the move to the Mao Zhai is worried that the old dean will be well after the wind in the Mao Zhai.
At this point, who else can stand out?
The emperor sat behind the desk and reviewed the folds, Ye Liuyun stood aside and whispered, it was not difficult for the emperor to use two minds, listening to Ye Liuyun's words and watching the folds, neither side was delayed.
"I have already left Gyeonggi Province and entered Shanbuk Province, and I can walk for another month to reach the Tiger Bone Tower."
Ye Liuyun hung his head: "Stop and go along the way, there are no accidents." ”
The emperor raised his head and glanced at Ye Liuyun: "What accident are you worried about?" ”
Ye Liuyun didn't answer, he didn't answer, and the emperor knew what he meant.
The emperor put down the pen in his hand and let out a long breath: "I know your thoughts, if someone else says this, I will lose my temper, but for you, I will not lose my temper, I have never treated you as outsiders, you have come to me when you were young, and I have always regarded you as a member of my family, so you share more than others, just because you are my family." ”
The emperor got up and walked to Ye Liuyun: "But you can't force me, and my family can't force me, I can be ruthless to the enemy, even if the enemy has knelt down and begged for mercy, I can still be ruthless, but that is my son, I can't be ruthless." ”
"The minister is guilty."
Ye Liuyun knelt down with a plop.
"I don't blame you."
The emperor stretched out his hand to help Ye Liuyun up: "If I can really be so ruthless, you will not give up on me." ”
Ye Liuyun's heart was shocked.
"Changze's fault is not his fault alone, it is my fault and his mother's fault, I asked him to go to the Tiger Bone Tower to work as a coolie for half a year, hoping to make him understand that the world is not easy, but I can't take his life, I can't do it, and I don't want to do it."
He gestured to his chair, "Sit down and talk to me." ”
Ye Liuyun leaned over and sat down on the chair with his ass in tow, but he didn't know what to say.
"When did I start to make my mistake?"
The emperor also sat down and pushed the tea in front of him in the direction of Ye Liuyun: "When I was a child, I felt that my parents' love was divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they were both a father and a mother, and I didn't know why there was a difference between relatives and distant relatives. So when I was a child, I had a bit of inferiority
, but then I felt that I was not ugly. ”
He glanced at Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun's face was a little sad.
"When I was a child, I was really not the one who was excellent, the eldest brother was better than me, the best, at least my father said so, so the brothers knew it very early, the eldest brother was the successor chosen by the father, the eldest son, he will always get more attention and more love, so after I became a father, I thought, I must not be like my father to separate distant and close relatives, and as a result, I am wrong, I am too distant."
The emperor let out a long breath: "I became a father, thinking of how partial my father was at that time, I felt that I couldn't do such a thing, and I had to treat my children equally, and when I became the emperor, I had to think about another question, why did my father let me and the other brothers understand that the eldest brother was more important?" Because if we understand early, we won't fight. ”
"The affairs of the royal family are always different from the affairs of the people."
The emperor picked up the teacup, did not drink it, and put it down again.
"If what you're worried about really happens, I won't kill Chang Ze, it's still the same sentence, I can't do it, the last time you mentioned it, I said that I would give you an answer later, and today I will give you the answer...... I don't doubt Shen Leng. ”
Ye Liuyun raised his head violently, and then quickly lowered his head.
"If it were someone else, I would already be doing it."
The emperor's hand rubbed lightly on the teacup: "Just because I know what kind of character that stupid boy is, what kind of character he is, so I didn't do anything, and I have been pushing him forward, changing to someone else, the general of Eastern Xinjiang is his brother, the general of Western Xinjiang is his brother, the old dean regards him as a junior, the first assistant university scholar regards him as a nephew, there are two generals in the northern Xinjiang who are his people, and he and Shi Yuanxiong's son Shi Podang are friends of life and death, this kind of situation is what I want to see?" Am I stupid? ”
Ye Liuyun's nervous palms were covered with sweat.
The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I know how undesirable it is for the Emperor to choose to believe in a person's character rather than his rational choice, but why did I do this...... I am rarely irrational, but sometimes I just don't want to be rational, and I will compensate him if I owe Shen Leng, so don't I owe Changze? ”
The emperor leaned back: "I also owe it." ”
"But I want to protect them, they all have to be protected, I let Chang Ze travel the world, I won't let him return to Chang'an without my will, but in fact, I will never give this will, because I want to protect Chang Ye, if Chang Ze comes back, Chang Ye will be an adult at that time, and I can't give him the choice...... I also want to protect Shen Leng, so I give him military power. ”
The emperor bowed his head: "I want to be a qualified father, and it is fair, although I am not fair." ”
In fact, the emperor should not say such a thing.
Ye Liuyun knew that the emperor actually had something wrong, why was the prince's position just abolished not long ago, it was because His Majesty had never given up, and he had always hoped that the prince could take over the Da Ning country, His Majesty had said more than once in the past, although Changye was a little less pioneering and enterprising, but there was no problem with Shoucheng, why did the emperor open up the territory and expand the territory, why did he change the imperial court, why did he want to conquer Heiwu, those are all preparations for the prince Li Changze, Everything.
If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince really disappointed the emperor, the emperor really wouldn't have moved his position as the crown prince.
The emperor began to act on the cabinet, remove Mu Zhaotong and all the people related to him, and let the cabinet enter the era of Lai Cheng, this is a preparation for the prince, Lai Cheng can still hold on for ten years, ten years later, there will be Dou Huainan, and there will be others after Dou Huainan, what he has prepared for the prince is not enough? He knew that the crown prince could only barely be regarded as a master of success, it didn't matter, he would just prepare more.
He began to do something to the generals of the four frontiers, gradually replaced, replaced with younger and more capable people, and let the blood exchange of the four frontiers be completed before the crown prince ascended the throne, so that there would be no instability in the four frontiers, and if there is no accident, everyone can last for twenty or even thirty years, or that sentence, the prince is not good, it doesn't matter, he is more prepared.
However, in the end, none of these preparations were the prince's.
So the emperor said it was unfair, but in fact it was really unfair, unfair to the second prince, and unfair to Shen Leng.
Some father's love can't be said, but it can be felt, but the crown prince Li Changze doesn't feel it, it's not a matter of father's love, it's his problem.
"I've never dared to let up."
The Emperor took another deep breath and slowly exhaled a cloudy breath.
"I'm tired."
The emperor looked at Ye Liuyun: "But fortunately, there are still you, I don't want you to be estranged from me, I am telling you this today, not to make you blame yourself for doing wrong, but to make you understand that I need you to do this all the time, I know very well that you are for my good." ”
Ye Liuyun got up and knelt on the ground: "Minister, I know Your Majesty's hard work, and the minister knows." ”
The emperor helped Ye Liuyun up: "Kneel again, I don't like a few of you kneeling in front of me, for me, you are different, you will never be the same." ”
Ye Liuyun looked at the emperor, and he really couldn't express anything for a while.
"Minister, retire first."
"Want to go?"
The emperor snorted: "I have said so many explanations, you pat your ass and want to leave?" I came to you today to scold you, but I explained it for a long time. ”
Ye Liuyun lowered his head: "Minister, I know that I am wrong." ”
"It's not okay to know that you're wrong."
The Emperor asked him, "I want to scold you, and I'm not in the mood to scold you now, but do you know why I'm scolding you?" ”
"The minister thought that His Majesty asked the minister about ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor, and the emperor waved his hand: "You stay in this Dongnuan Pavilion to reflect, I came to you not because of this, but because of your own affairs, I give you two moments of time to reflect, if you can't reflect, I will make you look good." ”
These words suddenly made Ye Liuyun panic, what mistake did he make these days?
Your Majesty said that it wasn't because of the matter of the eldest prince Li Changze, what else was there?
The emperor glanced at him: "Sit here and think, I go out for a trip, and if you don't wake up when you come back, I will be very disappointed in you." ”
After saying this, the emperor walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion and left Ye Liuyun alone in the Dongnuan Pavilion, the more Ye Liuyun thought about it, the more panicked he became, he really couldn't think of anything wrong with him in addition to his attitude towards the eldest prince Li Changze these days.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the emperor came in with a bowl of noodles bent over, which looked hot, but the emperor had a smile on his face.
"What is wrong with not reflecting on it? You've forgotten your birthday again. ”
He came in with the noodles, walked quickly to Ye Liuyun and put the noodles down, raised his hand and touched his ears, as if his hands would not be hot or painful.
"Taste it, my craft."
