"When a certain person comes to the scene, he is just a small government servant without any rank. He dares to tell me to go away. This is obviously the above offense. Should I be slapped?" Shen Ao took a step forward, almost kissing her face. When he arrived in front of King Xiang, he asked aloud.
This also caused Prince Xiang to take a step back involuntarily, giving the impression that he was forced by Shen Ao's power.
After subconsciously doing this action, Prince Xiang felt his face getting hot. He is the dignified Prince of Prince Xiang, the third prince, and the one who is most likely to inherit the throne. How could he be given to him by a minister? What about forced retreat?
Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to do it in front of my father and three important ministers?
No? You must get your face back. With Prince Xiang thinking like this, he wanted to take a step back and force Shen Ao. But at this moment, Shen Ao had already turned around, as if he didn't care about his actions just now. Instead, he continued to say in a loud voice: "I was just so angry that I personally tied up the yamen servant with my hands. Although this was indeed beneath my status and decency, I was originally a young man, and he was younger and more energetic. His Majesty and several of them must have The adults won’t be surprised either.”
After saying this, Shen Ao also cast his eyes on Fan Shitong and the other three, causing the three of them to smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
On the other hand, Emperor Qianwen, who was sitting high in the Jinluan Palace, chuckled and said: "Well, Duke Zhongguo is young and energetic, and he was angry for a while. Although what he did was beneath his status, it is understandable. But you have to pay attention in the future. After all, you are Duke Daqian. , he is also the head of the Jin Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, a third-rank official, and his actions represent the face of the imperial court."
This was Emperor Qianwen beating Shen Ao, but it only hindered the wonderful performance just now. Even if he was beating, Emperor Qianwen would not go too far, otherwise, it would be a bit unjustifiable.
"Promise, I obey." Shen Ao borrowed a donkey to go downhill, clasping his fists and lowering his head, as if he knew he was wrong.
Shen Ao had such an attitude, which made Emperor Qianwen like it, so he couldn't help but say a few more words, "This matter involves Kang'an. Naturally, someone from the Ministry of Punishment will ask questions later, and he will no longer be in the position of Dali Temple Minister. Next The young minister of Dali Temple, Mu Rong, will take over. Mr. Zhongguo, in the future many actions of Dagan Bank will still require the cooperation of Dali Temple, and we must get along well with Mu Rong in the future."
As soon as these words came out, they fell into the eyes of Fan Shitong and Baili Gui, and they were all refreshed. They were even more sure that today's matter was discussed by His Majesty and Duke Zhongguo. But Shen Ao didn't know that he I thought this was because His Majesty was caring about me, so I nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely get along happily with Mr. Murong Temple."
"Well, that being the case, let's leave it at that. Do you have any doubts?" Emperor Qianwen asked with a slight smile on his face after meeting his request.
Even the emperor said that this should be done, and who else could stand up to oppose it? Everyone, including King Xiang, clasped their fists and said they obeyed the order.
But the thoughts of those who bowed their heads were completely different from what they showed.
Shen Ao actually completely surrendered to His Majesty, and was even willing to be the first to lure Kang An off his horse and attack King Xiang hard. Such people no longer have any opinions of their own. If they are too close to him, what will they do? Was it reported to His Majesty by Shen Ao?
Especially Fan Shitong, who wanted to support Prince Qing, and Baili Gui, who wanted to support the fifth prince, had to think about this issue in their hearts for a moment, and even thought about how to contact Shen Ao in the future and how far they should keep. distance.
Shen Ao, on the other hand, had no idea that Emperor Qianwen had plotted against him. He was just angry because of the engagement. In addition, someone took the initiative to provoke him this time, so he took a serious action to warn everyone that he was a Madman, how ferocious he is, others should not mess with him. Who would have thought that everything he did would be regarded as the emperor's order?
Therefore, after this incident, everyone will keep a certain distance from him?
Although everyone is considered a minister of Emperor Qianwen, everyone's position is still somewhat different. At least they will not follow the emperor's words and abandon their own principles to harm other colleagues. But Shen Ao did this to show that you Loyalty or doglegness?
Since you are so close to the emperor and anyone can bite you, then for our own safety, we should stay away from you. It is safer if we are at a sufficient distance, right?
Shen Ao didn't know what these people were thinking at first, but soon after returning to the Zhongguo Palace from the palace, his uncle Zhongchenghou rushed over and told Shen Ao about some rumors that had been spread outside. Only then did he know why the emperor wanted to do it in public Let yourself have a good relationship with Mu Rong, but it turns out that this is a trap for yourself to get out of.
"Ao'er, this time you were taken advantage of by His Majesty. Everyone thinks so now. I'm afraid many people's attitude towards you will change in the future." Shen Yunyi sighed, he knew The big things that Shen Ao wants to do now require the cooperation of many people. For example, the two servants who were still waiting and watching originally wanted to win over Shen Ao. But this time something like this happened, it is difficult to protect them. There will be no other ideas.
For some people, if you are not their friend, you can only be their enemy. In other words, if you fail to win over, the only thing left is suppression.
And as for Prince Zhong, if they knew that Shen Ao was so close to the emperor, and even went to the trouble of killing himself in order to eliminate dissidents, it's hard to say whether they would have any other ideas.
Shen Yunyi understood these truths, so how could Shen Ao not know it. But what he lamented more was, why is it so difficult to accomplish something in this world?
Everyone seems to be narrow-minded and only sees their own interests. No one has ever thought about making the cake bigger. Wouldn't it be possible to divide the cake into more pieces and make the people's lives better? ?
Shen Ao doesn't know what the direction of this world is. After all, the Daqian Dynasty does not seem to have appeared in China's five thousand years of history. But who can guarantee that some of the things that will happen in the future will not happen again? For example, many times alien races The war of aggression against the Han people did not know how much damage it caused, how many Han civilizations were trampled on, and how many people were killed.
Even now, Daqian seems to be very powerful, but why aren't their neighbors staring at them eagerly? It's a pity that everyone has no sense of unity. The vassal kings stand on their own and only symbolically proclaim the emperor to Daqian. .If a foreign tribe really launches an army against Daqian, I am afraid that none of these vassal kings will have anyone they can trust.
Ten chopsticks tied into a bundle, strong and not easy to break!
One chopstick was very thin and was broken lightly.
Don’t they understand such a simple truth?
Of course not, it’s just that many people don’t want to think about it in that direction. All they see is what’s in front of them, what kind of benefits and benefits they can get now.
No one knows that if a country wants to become strong, it must first unite, and secondly develop its own strength. Only with a strong foundation can it be invincible. It is like achieving hegemony in a short period of time.
People like Qin Shihuang, Cao Cao, Genghis Khan and others were all momentary heroes, and their emphasis was only on victory or defeat, regardless of anything else. As a result, their dynasties would not last long, and would always end up falling short after a short period of glory.
It was quickly shattered.
Only a dynasty that restrains itself with morality and right and wrong, and only a dynasty that is united as one, a dynasty with a united will can be more durable.
I'm afraid many people don't know which dynasty has the longest lifespan in China. Some people may say it is the Han Dynasty. The Eastern and Western Han Dynasties combined are 406 years, but there is a transitional dynasty between them called "Xuan Han Dynasty"
". In comparison, the Song Dynasty lasted the longest, 319 years. Among them, the economy of the Song Dynasty was open and the happiness of the people was the best in comparison.
Facts have proved that a dynasty with underdeveloped commerce cannot last. Just relying on the land to fill the stomach is already a good thing. Having said that, it is a bit far to say that the emperor's hand is equivalent to
It puts a restriction on the development of Daqian. If this happens, many things may not go as smoothly as before.
The former supporters may choose to wait and see; the former waiters may come to oppose themselves. How much energy does Shen Ao have to communicate these things? Once those people have made a decision, how can communication be effective?
Woolen cloth?
Shen Ao couldn't tell Emperor Qianwen these things yet. Even if he told them, they wouldn't listen. Emperor Qianwen, who also didn't have a long-term vision, wanted his own strength, not the strength of the people and the country.
Seeing Shen Ao's pensive look, Shen Yunyi said with some distress, "Ao'er, otherwise we won't do it. Anyway, the money we make now is enough to last for several lifetimes. Why don't we just ignore everything and feel at ease?"
Wouldn't it be better to be a rich man?"
Of course what Shen Yunyi said has his truth, but it does not apply to Shen Ao. Under his leadership, many people have seen new hope. If he quits, what will happen to these people who have just seen the light?
manage?
More importantly, if Shen Ao does nothing, King Xiang will not let him go. He will constantly look for opportunities to deal with him. What will Shen Ao do when he becomes a useless person?
When competing against King Xiang, who will support him?
He shook his head and smiled. After some things have been done, they are destined to be unchangeable and can only continue to be done. But how to make others understand that he is not an enemy, that he does not stand on the side of Emperor Qianwen without knowing the bottom line, and will not do it without reason.
What about dealing with other officials?
If this problem is not solved, Daqian Bank will be in dire straits.
