"Young man is here..." Zhang Yue looked at Gong Yu who walked up to him and bowed respectfully, and waved his hand and said, "Come on, sit down..." Gong Yu is the new generation he values ​​very much, so he has always treated him with special treatment.

In the first year of Yongshi, he was transferred to the prefect of Hongnong under the Xinfeng Order. Next year, he was transferred to the capital of Beijing. He immediately appointed him as the Beihai Governor's Office and the Beihai Tower Ship, and actually presided over the military and political work of the entire Beihai Governor's Office.

Now, he is even more promoted, and he is against the public opinion. He is nominated as a ruling government. Although he is an agent and a temporary government, he is still a civil servant in his thirties. This is unprecedented in the Han Dynasty, and there may be no future.

"Prime Minister, the official has just read the article you published in the World Times..." After sitting down, Gong Yu said carefully: "The official is stupid and a little confused about the profound meaning of it, so he took the liberty to visit, and I hope the Prime Minister will give me advice..."

As he said that, Gong Yu bowed deeply.

Zhang Yue immediately laughed.

Yesterday, after the Times was released, Gong Yu was the first to come to the door, while others were watching, wandering, and waiting.

I can only say that the people in the court, the only tribute to Shaoweng is a true gentleman!

"Young man thought, why is the king..." Zhang Yue narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Yao and Shun are the king, Jie and Zhou are also the king..."

"How do you do it by making Shao Weng a minister for three generations? What do you do when Jie of Xia and Zhou of Shang?"

Gong Yu said without hesitation: "If the officials in the third generation are ministers, they will do their best to repay the saint... As for Jie of Xia and Zhou of Shang... Although the officials in Xia are stupid, they dare not help the evildoer... they have to do so, they can only sail on the sea..."

This is also the standard answer for Confucian scholars.

If there is a way in the country, one will be in power; if there is no way, one will be invisible.

Zhang Yue laughed: "Three generations of people are blessed...but, what are the people of Jie of Naixia and Zhou of Shang?"

"Have you read the historical books in Shiqu Pavilion?" Zhang Yue looked at Gong Yu, who nodded. The Shiqu Pavilion contains the historical records made by the late Grand Historian Sima Qian and the historical materials collected and sorted by the state over the years.

Of course, Gong Yu has seen it all, not only seen it, but also has a deep impression.

"The Qin Dynasty was destroyed in the second generation, and eight out of ten of the world's cities were destroyed by war... countless people died in wars. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the household registration of the world was not as good as that of the Three Ones during the Qin Dynasty..."

"Qin is like this... what should we do during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties?"

Gong Yu couldn't speak immediately.

For literati, this is really an unanswerable question.

Zhang Yue looked at Gong Yu's eyes and knew very well that Gong Yu was not unaware of the answer, but he did not dare to say that answer.

So he decided to add a fire.

"Shaoweng...From Shaoweng, how about Weiyang Palace like today?"

"The clever young master, if you spend time, you may become a wise monarch..." Gong Yu replied seriously.

"Haha..." Zhang Yue smiled: "Do you believe what Shaoweng said?"

The little emperor in the Weiyang Palace grew up under the gaze of Zhang Yue and the rulings.

This king of the Liu family has no secret in front of everyone.

Some newspapers in Chang'an City sometimes even publish some things that the little emperor did in the palace, and even stories of being "educated" by ruling ministers such as Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang, which are often circulated.

The fact is - the little emperor may be smart, or a little clever.

But he is just an ordinary person.

He has no destiny at all, nor has the ability to see the wise and magical martial arts clearly.

He is just an ordinary, simple eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

He will make mistakes, be lazy, lie, and be playful and loves snacks.

It is no different from the children of Gong Yu's family, the children of other ministers, and even some noble playboys in Chang'an City.

The most is because he is the emperor, so the environment for education and growth is better than that of others.

That's all.

Therefore, for the emperor in Weiyang Palace, don’t talk about the ruling minister.

Even the Lehous of Chang'an, the two thousand stones may not be respectful or loved.

On the contrary, the people and workers at the bottom of the class have great expectations for this little emperor.

Of course, these expectations are not worth mentioning compared to the prime minister in front of you!

Therefore, Gong Yu couldn't help but lower his head and bowed, "The lower official is afraid, I don't know where the Prime Minister's deep meaning is..."

"Shaoweng, you are still fighting a puzzle with me!" Zhang Yue smiled: "Shaoweng shouldn't be clear about this matter?"

He stood up and was extremely serious: "The world is the world of the world, not the world of one person!"

"I and I sacrificed my head and blood to you, and resolutely came to the chaos, and were willing to take the risk of the clan being punished, and to make justice and make justice. Is it to give birth to another tyrant in the future, and another monarch who is in chaos?"

"Heaven listens to himself and the people listen, and the heaven sees himself and the people see..."

"The so-called 'Heaven' is the people in the world... the so-called emperor is the son of the people in the world..."

Zhang Yue raised his lips slightly: "Shaoweng..."

"If the emperor cannot seek benefits for the people of the world, he will harm his body...what is it?"

When Gong Yu heard this, he subconsciously replied: "Unfilial..."

As soon as these words were said, he felt that there were storms, thunder and lightning in his heart, and his whole view of his three views were completely collapsed.

Zhang Yue laughed: "That's right!"

"The emperor cannot seek benefits for the people of the world, which is called unfilial!"

"Everyone who is unfilial will be punished!"

"This is why the Three Kings and Five Emperors are the Holy Kings, while the Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, Youli, and Qin Emperors are despised by the world..."

"In other words, the emperor is the son of the world, and our scholars and ministers are the same..."

Gong Yu's mind was in chaos, and he didn't even know when he would leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and when he would return home.

He sat at the desk, looking at the documents and books in front of him, his mind full of Zhang Yue's voice and words.

Those words, those voices, and words were all in his mind and could not be removed.

The emperor, the son of all people in the world?

The same is true for scholars, officials and ministers?

It seems that the logic is fine...

but……

Gong Yu always felt something was wrong.

and……

"Is Cheng really willing to do it?"

"Will?"

Gong Yu kept asking himself these two questions in his heart.

He knew very well that it was only a matter of time before the Zhang family replaced Liu.

Because now, even the Liu family itself has recognized this reality - King Liu Xu of Korea and King Liu Dan of Yan, these two representative figures in the royal family, and the princes who hold heavy troops and powerful power have all submitted a letter to persuade them to advance...

so……

"Isn't the Prime Minister making a cage for himself and his descendants?"

"Why is this?" Gong Yu couldn't figure it out.

But one thing is obvious - the prime minister really planned to do this.

And he has always done this.

Think about it carefully, after Yongshi, the Prime Minister and the former ruling ministers have been doing things to weaken the power of the monarch and reduce the halo of the king?

The story of the little emperor in Weiyang Palace making a mistake and being beaten to pieces by Shangguan Jie is well known to everyone in the world.

Several versions of the story were even derived, which were brought to the stage and sung into the Chiyou opera.

The story of the Nine Ministers having a minister and publicly not giving face to the royal family has happened countless times.

The Tingwei and Shaofu refused to open a back door for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's family, and have been on the front page of the World Times more times.

Over the years, imperial power has gradually become something that everyone dares to discuss and discuss.

The literati from various schools of thought were unscrupulously arranged the gossips of the late emperors of all dynasties.

Especially when the Grand Historian Sima Qian died, his last work "Records of the Grand Historian" was published by the Prime Minister, and he personally wrote a preface for it, praising: Li Sao without rhyme, a masterpiece of historians!

For a moment, everyone in the world competed to see.

Then……

Countless people were speechless...

Because, the article "The Original Annals of Emperor Xiaoming" in the Records of the Grand Historian reveals many secrets and stories of the late emperor in front of others.

Of course, the royal family, princes and queen mothers protested constantly.

However, the Prime Minister said: I will not take any action because of my words.

So, I could only watch helplessly that everyone in the world knew about the little things about the Liu family.

From then on, the imperial power was ruined and there was no mystery anymore.

so……

"The Prime Minister is serious..." Gong Yu said in his heart: "This is a blessing in the world..."

If it can really be done and put the imperial power in a cage, it will be a good thing for everyone - except for the royal family itself.

Since Yongshi, the Republic has been in power, and everyone has tasted the sweetness of the Republic.

Power was delegated from the emperor to ministers, and from local prefectures and counties, and the nobles of the literati and lords also tasted the taste of participating in politics and interfering in major national affairs.

In the future, the Prime Minister will really ascend the throne. If he wants to monopolize the power and take back everything, he will probably be another bloody storm and countless heads fall to the ground.

But the problem is...

"What is the Prime Minister trying to do this?"

Gong Yu couldn't figure out this problem at all.

……………………

When Gong Yu was thinking about his head pain, Zhang Yue was in his back house, looking at his three sons kneeling in front of him.

These three little bastards become more naughty the bigger they get.

Moreover, none of them like to study, they know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and they are naughty. Today, they even dug several holes in their garden, just to find some earthworms to fish, which made their whole body dirty.

If it weren't for the protection of my sister-in-law, Zhang Yue really wanted to send these little brats to the Western Regions and ask them to suffer a little!

"Everyone will copy the "Zhang Family Rules" for me a hundred times, and then send it to me for inspection. You are not allowed to eat until you copy it!" Zhang Yue gave a stern face and ordered a few bad guys.

"No!" The boys were dejected and could only say: "Boy is obeying the order of the Lord!"

At this moment, a beautiful little girl wearing flowery clothes ran over and over from the front yard: "Dad, Dad, Nannan wants to ride a horse..."

Zhang Yue immediately left these guys, ran over with a smile, hugged the little princess, and said, "Dad is here..."

The dignified prime minister, the Grand Marshal, and the General squatted down in front of his daughter without dignity, and then ran around the yard with the little girl on his back. The entire prime minister's mansion was filled with the laughter of the prime minister and the princess in silver bells everywhere.
