Cui Weizhen was stunned for a moment and surprisingly understood what she was saying. After thinking for a while, he said: "To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for all people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations. This may be the mission of a scholar."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't expect this to be the reason. Everyone had lofty ambitions when they were young, such as serving the motherland and achieving world peace and other lofty ideals. However, as time goes by and tempered, many people will gradually forget that they were the most important people in the world.
Childishness may make some ridiculous idealistic vows, but gradually compromises with reality, busy for personal rights, and lives a dull life.
Many people's lives are ordinary and ordinary. It is precisely because of this that Cui Weizhen appears to be rare and pure and lofty, which makes people respect him.
As a mediocre person, Ye Zhenzhen was ashamed, but in the role of a wife, she couldn't help but feel proud and worried: "I'm afraid that you will offend their interests and end up being criticized. Maybe the reform will fail.
When the time comes, His Majesty will no longer support you, but will push you to block Youyou's opinions."
These concerns are all justified. Cui Weizhen looked gentle, "If you are afraid of the difficulties ahead, you will only become a coward who hesitates to move forward. I know the thorns ahead, and I have the courage to challenge them. Zhen Zhen, will you accompany me?"
"I do!"
Ye Zhenzhen blurted out without thinking, then laughed and held his hand tightly, "I am committed to you for the rest of my life. No matter if you take the broad road or the road is full of thorns, I will be with you."
."
Cui Weizhen took her into his arms and smelled the fragrance of her fresh bath. His slightly uneasy heart gradually stabilized. He was not as calm and composed as she had seen, but with her by his side, everything became calm.
feared.
He lowered his head and promised, "Don't worry, I know that the road ahead will be difficult. I will definitely make a plan, move forward slowly, and won't leave myself in an isolated and helpless place. In fact, regarding the idea of dividing a small family into a small family, I have been talking about it during the day.
I have discussed it with His Majesty in detail, and His Majesty also asked me to write this secret sheet."
Emperor Xuanwu also knew that the current conditions were insufficient to allow immediate reform, so he was protecting Cui Weizhen.
Ye Zhenzhen felt strange, "You are not an impatient person. Since now is not the time, why did you reveal your thoughts to His Majesty in advance?"
This is the disadvantage of being too familiar. She can find out any clues.
Cui Weizhen did not hide anything, saying: "Your Majesty wants to re-appoint me, but not so soon. I will have to hone my qualifications in the Hanlin Academy. I don't want to wait for a long time and take the initiative to increase my chips. With this secret, Your Majesty will expedite the use of me."
Speed, that’s my goal.”
He doesn't have the time or patience to work in ordinary positions for several years like ordinary officials. He just wants to stand out quickly and become a highly respected minister.
Although he had a sacred heart to establish a destiny for all people, he never concealed his ambition.
This reason was legitimate, but Ye Zhenzhen felt that it was not all, and continued to ask: "What else?"
Cui Weizhen looked at her speechlessly for a long time. He really didn't know where her keen perception came from. Finally, he smiled helplessly and said: "Recently, the Ministry of Household Affairs has been short of the position of Director of the Ministry of Finance. King Ke is trying to put his own
People have been put in, and there are a lot of big and small moves these days, so I want to cut this vacancy from him."
If the emperor wanted to reuse him, it would be best to place him in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the sixth-grade position of Head of the Jin Department, the Secretary-General, was the most suitable position.
Ye Zhenzhen wanted to understand this, and suddenly she felt dumbfounded, "Are you trying so hard to fight against King Ke? Is it because Li Minghui hurt me during the day?"
Although it was a bit narcissistic to think this way, she felt that this guess was very credible.
Cui Weizhen's eyes darkened, not only because of Li Minghui, but also because King Ke was thinking about someone he shouldn't be thinking about, so cutting off the job he was interested in was just a warning.
Seeing that he stopped talking again, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh, "Are you embarrassed?"
Cui Weizhen said with a sullen face, "No."
"Hahaha, Wei Zhen, your duplicity is so cute."
Ye Zhenzhen held his face with a smile and kissed him on the face, "Although you don't say it, I understand in my heart, thank you for protecting me like this."
The corners of Cui Weizhen's mouth curled up, but he soon suppressed it. He reservedly put away the dried rice cakes. At this moment, Hong Zhiyuan also came back with his meal. He knocked lightly on the door a few times and whispered: "Master, Madam, face to face."
It’s already done.”
"Bring it in."
Ye Zhenzhen took out the food box and took out a large bowl of noodles without the need of Hong Zhiyuan. It was too late and there was no time to make noodles. This bowl was instant noodles.
Of course, even instant noodles are deluxe instant noodles, with a lot of meat and vegetables in them, enough to keep Cui Weizhen full.
The instant noodles smelled really good. Ye Zhenzhen, who had sworn not to eat midnight snacks, was a little hungry now, but she still swallowed and placed it in front of Cui Weizhen.
"Eat it quickly, otherwise the noodles will become lumpy and won't taste good."
Cui Weizhen glanced at her and began to pick up a chopstick of noodles. Instead of eating it himself, he said: "Open your mouth."
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned and immediately opened her mouth happily, like a baby bird waiting to be fed. A smile flashed in Cui Weizhen's eyes, rolled the noodles and put it in her mouth. Ye Zhenzhen immediately looked like a little squirrel stealing food.
When he ate it, the pleasure on his face made him very appetizing, and he couldn't help but take a bite.
It's not enough, it's just barely enough.
But Ye Zhenzhen ate happily and praised with satisfaction: "It's delicious, what do you think?"
Cui Weizhen paused and said with a smile: "It's delicious."
Ye Zhenzhen seemed to have been praised. If she had a tail, she would be cocking it proudly. Cui Weizhen surprisingly understood her thoughts. She made the instant noodles, so praising the noodles for being delicious was quite an indirect compliment.
She did.
Sometimes, her happiness is surprisingly simple.
Cui Weizhen didn't feel hungry. Since she wanted to eat everything for her, Ye Zhenzhen just ate another chopstick and reluctantly shook her head, "I'm full, you can eat."
Worried that he is hungry.
It's strange to say that there are a lot of instant noodles at home, and she has the opportunity to eat them on weekdays, but she always feels that the ones in other people's bowls are the most fragrant, and she has to take a few bites to get them. This nonsensical idea makes her dumbfounded.
It wasn’t a good thing anyway, so Cui Weizhen didn’t insist. He chewed slowly and finished the noodles without losing speed. Ye Zhenzhen didn’t forget to ask, “Are you full?”
Cui Weizhen nodded: "That's enough. If you eat more, you won't be able to sleep."
Ye Zhenzhen was relieved and left the dishes and chopsticks for Hong Zhiyuan to clean up. After going back to wash up and apply medicine with Cui Weizhen, she didn't bother anymore and had a good sleep peacefully.
