Chapter 60 Unmoving like a mountain and moving like thunder
"It's impossible for me to sit back and watch, it's absolutely impossible for me to sit back and watch!"
Zhu Youjian had calmed down. To Jiang Wan's surprise, when faced with Jiang Wan's merciless analysis of the outcome of the matter, Zhu Youjian did not become incompetently furious or even resent Jiang Wan. Instead, he suppressed himself.
The anger slowly calmed down.
But Jiang Wan knew that this apparent calm did not mean that his mood had returned to normal. It could only mean that Zhu Youjian had made up his mind and was using his perseverance to maintain his sanity.
"No one wants the prince to sit back and watch. Jiang Wan just hopes that the prince will not be impulsive. Everything should be as motionless as a mountain and as dynamic as thunder. Never act rashly until you are absolutely sure!"
Zhu Youjian nodded silently, seemingly unaware that Jiang Wan's calling himself a subordinate had turned into calling himself by his own name. He just chewed on Jiang Wan's words: "Move like a mountain, move like thunder...?"
"First of all, the prince must have the ability to protect himself. This is the minimum. Then, take a step further and at least have the ability to compete with Wei Zhongxian. In this way, even if the prince cannot wait any longer, he can defeat Wei early!" Jiang Wan said carefully!
: "If it is possible, whether it is his strength or His Majesty's favor, the prince will no longer be afraid of Wei Zhongxian. At that time, it is the best time for the prince to take action. At that time, the prince will crush a slave like Wei Zhongxian to death.
, it’s no different than crushing an ant to death!”
"Before this, I can't act recklessly, I can only tolerate it and watch that guy do whatever he wants?" Zhu Youjian asked unwillingly.
"The Yangtze River looks at the crab with cold eyes, let's see how long it will run rampant!" Jiang Wan smiled: "The prince is still young, and so is your majesty, right?"
"I have changed my mind. I just mentioned that the building in the palace will be set up for you to be in charge. You can go back to Li Qiu'an and ask him to recommend you to be a professor in the palace. Don't you have a small ambition in your heart?
How can a steward give you the opportunity to display your talents and realize your ambitions!" Zhu Youjian took a deep breath: "It can be regarded as giving you the title of a royal official!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Wan thanked her without any pretense!
"However, the Prince's professor can also take care of things!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "When Jiang Wan came to see the prince, the prince told Jiang Wan the prince's idea of setting up the Tingyu Tower. Jiang Wan felt that this
It was a good idea, but it would be a bit of a waste of the prince's resources to use this building just to recruit some servants to serve the prince. Jiang Wan thought that Tingyu Tower could not only recruit young talents from the capital.
To enrich the inner resources of the palace, all people with lofty ideals who are willing to serve the prince can be recruited. In this way, when the prince is motionless, these people will be the thick barrier around the mountain to protect the prince. When the prince wants to
When they move like thunder, these people are the sharp knives in the hands of the prince, and wherever the prince points, they will go through fire and water to destroy them!"
"Jiang Wan has also changed his mind. As long as the prince behaves well, Jiang Wan is willing to be the steward!"
Zhu Youjian raised his head and looked at Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan had a smile on his face and nodded slightly as he met Zhu Youjian's gaze.
"what would you like?"
Zhu Youjian spoke slowly: "Except for people, you can have everything else!"
"First of all, of course, we need silver!" Jiang Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Silver is not everything, but without silver it is absolutely impossible. You don't need much silver, but you must have the first payment. Later, when you wait for Tingyu
Now that the building is occupied, maybe we can find the financial resources to self-sustain the running of the building!"
"You can have this. There is no shortage of money in the treasury of my palace!"
"Secondly, we need land!" Jiang Wan said: "The imperial mansion that His Majesty gave to the prince outside the city needs a Tingyu Tower. Whether it is recruiting people, training and placement, it needs a place. These can be done in the prince's palace.
Some are too noisy!”
"This is okay!" Zhu Youjian nodded.
"The last one is to have a family background!" Jiang Wan said: "This is also the most critical condition. Whether we can recruit people and how to maintain their loyalty is not just about saying impassioned words. If we can give them a
Their background allows them to have adequate food and clothing and a promising future. This is more effective than any other words!"
"Since Emperor Chengzu, the palace is no longer allowed to have troops. Even for our ten palaces, the guards are on duty in rotation!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "This is a bit difficult to handle!"
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "The background I mentioned may not necessarily be from the government army!"
Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Wan explained: "Can't I be a disciple? Isn't it possible for a disciple? Isn't the prince reluctant to give up a sinecure that is not within the regulations of the palace?"
"Is this useful?" Zhu Youjian hesitated. He understood what Jiang Wan meant.
Just like Jiang Wan's deacon, to put it nicely, he is a deacon of the palace, but this deacon is not an official of the palace, and he has no rank or title. To put it harshly, isn't he just a helper raised by the palace?
"Of course it's useful!" Jiang Wan nodded and said: "As long as the prince nods, Jiang Wan will gradually get these titles and so on. If someone really performs well, then the prince will grant them the title of Attendant of the Prince's Palace, and the title of Yi Guard to the Prince's Palace."
A position on the roster can be regarded as a reward. You can even have a small official position in the palace like Jiang Wan. I think this is still very attractive!"
"What you said is also a solution!" Zhu Youjian said: "However, according to the regulations, I can still have a bodyguard of a hundred people. Otherwise, I will have a fiefdom in the future. Do I need local soldiers to protect me?
This king?"
"That's even better. The quota of these guards can also be an incentive. Those who perform outstandingly and make great contributions can directly join the prince's guard. Why worry about them not serving the prince!"
Zhu Youjian pondered, and suddenly he looked up at Jiang Wan.
"These things probably didn't come to your mind after you entered this study. Don't tell me that you had thought about this matter before I had this idea!" There was a look of suspicion on his face: "Even if you
I have some ability, but I shouldn’t have such scheming and planning to think about these things for my king in advance!”
"You are so suspicious at such a young age!" Jiang Wan muttered in her heart, feeling secretly proud, "If I had known you might ask such a question, I would have thought of a good excuse..."
"That day when I first met the prince, Jiang Wan told him his heartfelt words, saying that if everyone in the world performs their duties, the world will be peaceful, the country will be rich and the people will be strong!" He said slowly: "In the following days, Jiang Wan
Keep asking yourself, if everyone performs their duties, then what position does Jiang Wan perform when he is beside the prince, and what should he do to perform his duties; and what does the prince do when he is beside His Majesty, in the court?
Duties, what do you have to do to be able to perform your duties!"
"It wasn't until the prince asked me to investigate the matter of this Fo Lang machine that Jiang Wan figured it out!" He smiled slightly: "The prince's duty is to be a prince who is appreciated by your majesty, to assist your majesty, and to let the people of the world
Everyone performs their duties, this is what the prince should do, and as long as Jiang Wan follows the prince, rides the horse for the prince, fills in the gaps for the prince, then Jiang Wan will be considered to be fulfilling his duties! "
"Wei Zhongxian and his party disrupted the government and did not abide by their duties. Your Majesty must make them do their jobs! Jiang Wan cannot but think about these thoughts that Your Majesty questions. He dare not not think about them!!!"
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, without a trace of smile on his face: "It's useless to think too much, just do it for me to see..."
