Xie Yun took out a small wooden box from his arms and said, "I accept you as your teacher. I will give you a gift when you meet me!"
Shen Moran was unmoved. Xie Yun sighed and opened the wooden box. Inside the box lay an almost transparent jade bracelet, "This is the bracelet that the old lady wore back then. That boy Chang Jian left for the northwest." Before, I was asked to pass it on to Jin Yi’s future wife..."
Shen Moran paused and said speechlessly: "Sir, is this considered a conspiracy?"
Let’s rely on the relics left by the old Duke’s wife to control her, it’s a complete conspiracy!
Shameless!
Xie Yun closed the box again and handed it to her.
"There is another saying, the goal is to achieve the goal by any means. If the princess accepts this box, she will have to call me master from now on."
After all, it was the relic of the old Lord Protector's wife. Shen Moran reluctantly performed the apprenticeship ceremony and accepted the box.
"Master, are you satisfied now?"
Xie Yun listened happily to her calling "Master", and then took out a green jade pendant from his arms and gave it to her.
"That was given by the old lady just now. This is the apprenticeship ceremony given by my master."
Seeing the jade pendant, Shen Moran looked at him and had the illusion of looking at Zhou Yu. The same hairpin, the same jade pendant...
Except for the different color and texture, everything else looks similar.
"Sir, to be honest, how many jade pendants like this do you have in your warehouse?"
Xie Yun didn't react for a while, but when he did, he became furious.
"This jade pendant is really a gift from the late emperor!"
The bickering between the old and the young made Zhou Zhan and Su Mu very happy. Xie Yun still had a childish heart, and she and Shen Moran got together, and each one was more ill-intentioned than the other.
"The house will be lively from now on..."
"It would be even more exciting if there was another little baby!" Xie Yun looked at Zhou Zhan with a faint look, clicked his tongue, stood up and said, "Su Mu, we troublemakers should leave quickly."
Xie Yun's look was just short of saying that his direct disciple was not good enough, and Zhou Zhan's face was completely blackened.
Shen Moran scolded him in turn: "Sir, you are old and disrespectful."
Xie Yun counterattacked: "This is not the first day you have met me."
He has always been like this and has never changed. Shen Moran clicked her tongue when she thought of the scene where he left her to a strange man when she first met him. If he were thirty years younger, he would definitely be a libertine!
The study room of Prince Rong's Mansion.
Zhuo Wen and Yu Shibo had differences of opinion.
There were two other new scholars who suffered the same fate as Ye Xu. They were all targeting positions. Before the appointment documents were issued, temporary changes were made. The changes were all young people who had defected to King Rong.
Although Yu Shibo was suspicious at the time, he didn't think much about it. After all, the officials were in the hands of Shen Panxing. They had never been close to Shen Panxing, so Shen Panxing had no reason to help them.
It was not until this turmoil that people under Zhou Chen exposed the matter and wrote a letter of impeachment. Emperor Yao was furious and immediately asked the Inspectorate to verify it. This investigation implicated them.
The three replacement officials were deprived of their honors before they even took office.
After receiving the news, he hurriedly went to see Mr. Boge and said all the good things before he could get Zhou Rong and Zhuo Wen out of the matter.
"As a prince, you must be upright and aboveboard in your conduct. How can you behave like a villain? Doesn't this tell the young people who come to seek refuge with His Highness that they can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and they can disturb Tsunada in order to satisfy their selfish desires? If this continues, even if Those who are recruited are all upright and talented people, but they will gradually become crooked."
"How can such an official serve the imperial court? How can he be loyal to His Highness in the future?"
Yu Shibo was heartbroken. Zhou Rong shot himself in the foot this time. He was regretting it. After being lectured by him, he had already realized his mistake and planned to correct it after admitting it to him. He would never do this again.
Zhuo Wen snorted coldly and interrupted him.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish and no benefits. Who will be willing to be loyal to His Highness in the future? If there are no talents at hand, no officials will take refuge, or if the officials cannot get actual benefits after taking refuge, who else will support His Highness?"
"Master Yu is noble and disdainful of our methods, but when the two armies go to war, even if we are walking and sitting upright, it will be in vain if there are no people waving the flag and shouting!"
Hearing Zhuo Wen's words, Zhou Rong hesitated again. There were two of them. One was his uncle, who had been teaching and educating people all his life, and had a great reputation. The other was his father-in-law, who had been working hard in the court for decades.
They won't harm him, and they all wish him well.
"Master Zhuo, what you said is wrong. If the people waving the flag and shouting are a bunch of wallflowers, or leeches who only know how to suck blood, then whose flag are they waving and what are they shouting for? If they can't give them what they want, they will
Won’t it backfire?”
"I don't agree with Lord Yu's point of view. You have to pay a price if you want to succeed. As noble as Lord Yu, apart from teaching a few students to the hostile camp over the years, what benefits can it bring to His Highness?"
"Master Yu, there are many talents all over the world, but how many of them can be used at critical times? Master Yu, please be more clear-headed. The way of the world is to praise the superior and suppress the inferior. Only if you have ability, others will look up to you. If you have no ability, you will be ignored by others."
Pull it!"
The two of them spoke to each other without giving in to each other.
Yu Shibo couldn't persuade Zhuo Wen, so he turned his attention to Zhou Rong.
"Your Highness is familiar with the books of sages. You should know that a gentleman is virtuous. If the king is devoid of virtue, the world will be in chaos. Your Highness will never listen to the treacherous and slanderous words in your future actions!"
Yu Shibo was so angry that he called Zhuo Wen a traitor and a sycophant.
judgment!"
What he said made Zhuo Wen angry.
"I am a layman, not as noble as Mr. Yu, but I have understood a truth from the first step I entered the officialdom. A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. If you don't know how to adapt your actions, you will never succeed!"
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Xie Yun entered the cabinet through his own efforts. I wonder what Mr. Yu thought when he saw it!"
I think that when Xie Yun was famous in Shengjing City, Yu Shibo was not bad either. But after so many years, Xie Yun's reputation has not diminished, but not many people in the capital remember Yu Shibo.
He has worked hard over the years and trained many Jinshi and students for the Zhou Dynasty. He is not as famous as Xie Yun, a man who lives in seclusion in the mountains!
In terms of knowledge, he is not inferior to Xie Yun!
These words struck a chord in Yu Shibo's heart. He stood up angrily, flicked his sleeves and said, "People of different moral principles should not conspire with each other. Your Highness, please don't be deceived by villains!"
Zhuo Wen also stood up and counterattacked: "Since the ways are different, Master Yu will go all the way, so I won't send you far away!"
Yu Shibo once again set his sights on Zhou Rong.
"How do you choose, Your Highness?"
The quarrel between the two gave Zhou Rong a headache. Emperor Yao's successive actions made him confused. Now that the two generals under his command started fighting among themselves, it gave him an even greater headache.
"Uncle, father-in-law, please don't argue for now. The first priority is to find out what the father thinks more. Do you value your third brother or me more? There is a mess in the court. Everyone has been very angry recently. You two are my support."
, we must not have internal strife..."
The words were the same as talking to Xini, but both of them took a deep breath, took a step back, and sat down again.
