As the global temperature warms, winter is getting better and better, but summer is relatively hotter.
The scorching sun shines on the earth, and the evaporating mist is visible to the naked eye.
Shi Qingsun was so distraught that he knelt down outside the house, not daring to move, sweating like rain.
"Daddy!"
A handsome child ran over.
When the child saw that his father ignored him, he knelt down and said in a curt voice: "Master, Xiao An, please give me my regards."
Within a moment, a voice came from inside the room: "Come in, everyone!"
The child made a face at his father and ran into the house first.
Shi Qingsun breathed a sigh of relief and slowly entered the house with the help of his servants.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Shi Qingsun, who was soaked with hot sweat, couldn't help but shudder.
The temperature inside and outside the house is completely different.
In front of the hall, a spirited old man with white beard and hair was playing with a child in his arms, turning a blind eye to Shi Qingsun who came in.
"My grandson has met my grandfather!" Shi Qingsun said hello politely and politely.
The old man is none other than Shi Shouxin, the ninety-year-old Prince of Wuwei County, a minister of Conglong of the Yu Dynasty.
"Tai...ye..."
Great-great-grandson Shi Qingan acted like a spoiled child again.
Shi Shouxin pinched his great-great-grandson's cheek lovingly and said, "I really can't do anything about you, so go ahead and play, I will discuss the matter with your father."
Shi Qingan rubbed against Shi Shouxin and went out happily.
Shi Shouxin glanced at his grandson indifferently, and sneered: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot! What did I say at the beginning, let you work down-to-earth, Your Majesty, the prince will not treat our Shi family badly. If you really want to have Cao Cao
, Yang, the descendants of the Zhe family are only capable. They don’t have three kilograms of strength in their hands, and their minds are full of pig intestines. They also like to mess around. That is to say, I am not dead. If you really want to see Brother Han one day, you are the only one.
The bones of these idiots were chopped into pieces and sold."
Shi Qingsun was belittled for being worthless. He was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it. However, he still couldn't help but said: "How could I have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so unreasonable? The huge Tang family would just copy it.
A member of the Communist Party of China was imprisoned as soon as he said he was going to be imprisoned. He did not show any mercy and was said to be implicated. He made people in the world panic and the government and the public were in turmoil. Officials, students and students were all soldiers. The grandfather and the prince were eager to express themselves, and there were straightforward people like Kou Zhun who did not know how to adapt.
I am fanning the flames on the sidelines, completely ignorant of the principle of hardness and easy breaking, and is really confused."
Shi Shouxin rarely got angry, but shook his head helplessly and said: "Then what do you want me to do with these old bones?"
Shi Qingsun said passionately: "For the current plan, we can only persuade His Highness the Crown Prince to stop and do not shake the foundation of the country due to temporary anger. The only one who can persuade the Crown Prince is His Majesty... Now His Majesty is living in the inner court, leaving all matters big and small to His Highness.
, ordinary people can’t see it, and only my grandfather can see it.”
Shi Shouxin squinted his eyes and looked at his eldest grandson with amusement, and said: "Is this what you mean? Or is it what you mean together?"
Shi Qingsun paused and said, "It means we are together."
"That's good!" Shi Shouxin nodded thoughtfully and said, "Give me the list. If you want them to die sooner, then let them die faster."
"Ah!" Shi Qingsun looked at his grandfather blankly.
Shi Shouxin was so angry that he picked up the purple clay pot next to him and threw it away, cursing: "Idiots, you guys ganged up to bully the prince, and you have made your majesty unhappy. If the prince hadn't stopped you, how could you be so comfortable now? Do you still think about it?
Isn't it just like lighting a lantern in a latrine when you poke it in front of His Majesty?"
Shi Qingsun turned pale with fright and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, what do you always say? My grandson doesn't understand. His Highness is the future emperor. Who dares to bully him?"
Shi Shouxin said: "Ask yourself, in your heart, how does the prince feel?"
Shi Qingsun hesitated slightly and said: "The prince is benevolent, filial and sincere, so it is naturally good."
"Benevolent, filial and sincere?" Shi Shouxin said, "Aren't you just saying that the prince is incompetent?"
Shi Qingsun was startled and said hurriedly: "No grandson, that's not what I meant."
"What does that mean?" Shi Shouxin's beard stood on end and he said angrily: "The prince has overseen the country for many years and has been praised as 'benevolent, filial and honest'. Do you really think this is a compliment to the prince? Are you scolding the prince for being incompetent?
I want to poke it in front of His Majesty, do you mean to say that the Crown Prince is incompetent in front of His Majesty, and that Your Majesty has cultivated an incompetent prince over the years?"
Shi Qingsun could no longer say a word. He kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, with red hair sticking out of his head. After a long while, he trembled and said: "My grandson doesn't mean this... My grandson really doesn't mean this..."
"He said it twice, and when he said it the second time, he was crying.
Shi Shouxin scolded: "This is the most stupid thing about you. You bullied the prince and you didn't know it. How did you know that His Highness the prince is the one who has the most difficulty."
"Your Majesty is an unparalleled wise king. His martial arts skills are incomparable even to those of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty. His martial arts also surpassed Emperors Wen and Jing of the Han Dynasty. Together, even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was inferior to him. As Your Majesty,
As your son, the prince's words, deeds, and actions will inevitably be compared with His Majesty by the world. In your eyes, you only see the glory of the Yu Dynasty created by His Majesty and the great achievements of the world. You cannot see the efforts of the Prince at all, and even compare the Prince's achievements.
Any achievements he has made will be treated as His Majesty’s guidance from behind. He takes it for granted that the Crown Prince has achieved today’s achievements, and anyone can replace him.”
Shi Qingsun was in the cool ice room, but he was sweating profusely.
For emperors who are too great and powerful, the second generation is often the most mediocre.
Shi Qingsun didn't dare to show any disrespect to the Dayu royal family, but deep down in his heart he really didn't think the Prince of Dayu was very powerful.
The starting point is too high...
Shi Shouxin cursed angrily and felt better. He stood up and said, "If you say anything today, you will rot in your stomach."
As he spoke, he stood up with some difficulty and walked out slowly.
Shi Qingsun didn't react until Shi Shouxin went out, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, where are you going?"
"Enter the palace..." Shi Shouxin paused and said: "You have no future, and I am an old man, so I can only show off my old face to get some favors. Go back and tell them that the old man will help them this time."
When Shi Qingsun heard this, he was so ashamed that he felt ashamed.
The Shi family's luxurious carriage entered the inner garden of Luoyang Palace without encountering many obstacles.
Even the Prime Minister of the current dynasty found it extremely difficult to meet the Emperor of Dayu in an ordinary informal setting, but for Shi Shouxin, it was very simple.
Not only did the carriage enter the palace directly, there was also a special sedan in the inner palace to carry him all the way to the outside of the Chaoyang Palace.
The soldiers guarding the imperial camp outside the palace had already received the order in advance, allowing Shi Shouxin to enter the palace directly without any communication.
When Shi Shouxin entered the main hall, he saw Emperor Dayu writing at his desk, unaware of his arrival.
Shi Shouxin took a deep breath first, then summoned up enough energy to shout: "Your Majesty, Shi Shouxin, pays homage to you!"
Suddenly he heard a loud voice ringing in his ears. Luo Youdu was so shocked that the tip of his pen shook and all the ink fell on the paper. He glanced at His Highness Shi Shouxin, put down the pen and said: "Get up, find a place to sit by yourself."
.”
After seeing Shi Shouxin take his seat, Luo Youdu said: "Brother's voice is still as loud as ever. It's great..." He sighed and said, "Why do you have time to come to my place?"
Shi Shouxin did not hide anything and said: "There is a lot of commotion outside, and I, an old man like me, am also upset by the commotion, so I came here to take a break."
He won't really intercede with those idiots. He just needs to make a gesture to make people appreciate it. Whether it succeeds or not is none of his business.
Luo Youdu smiled knowingly, looking at the wily Shi Shouxin with deep feelings in his heart.
The imperial court of Dayu was prospering day by day, and the waves behind pushed the waves ahead. It was inevitable that heroes on the battlefield like Shi Shouxin, who could not read a few words, would be eliminated.
When people like Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and Yelu Xiu officially became the pillars of the military, Shi Shouxin left the temple.
Xu Shi was idle at home with nothing to do. Shi Shouxin, who had been a boss all his life, entertained his grandchildren at home, read books with them, cultivated their character, and visited Taoism and worshiped Buddha.
He is a person who has seen countless storms and waves. His state of mind has been sublimated, and his past experiences have all been merged into knowledge. He has completed his transformation and become more and more demonic as he gets older. The old and rough man in the past has become one of the most transparent people in the world.
Luo Youdu has long seen the changes in his old brother, and also knows that he can't help himself now.
How can any elders not consider their children and grandchildren?
Shi Shouxin's descendants except Shi Baoxing and Shi Baoji's two sons have their own charm and have made great achievements. The remaining descendants are all mediocre people, relying on the shadow of a sinecure.
However, Shi Shouxin was one of the few ministers who followed the dragon in the Yu court, and was the first general to support his ascension to the throne and hold military power. The Shi family's status was difficult to shake, especially when he and Shi Shouxin were still alive.
Even if Shi Qingsun is only a casual official, there are many officials who are willing to follow him or have close friendship with him...
People can't help themselves in the officialdom. If others show closeness to you, if you reject them thousands of miles away, you will become enemies. Once you make friends, you will inevitably help each other.
The Shi family has no heirs, so Shi Shouxin has no choice but to seek some good luck.
Luo Youdu stretched himself and said: "It just so happens that I am a little lonely in the palace, so I will stay and have a few drinks when I come."
Shi Shouxin said excitedly: "I have given up drinking for many years, but your Majesty's wine must be drank, must be drank..."
Luo Youdu said: "I won't go anywhere else, so as not to waste money, just stay here!"
The weather is so hot that I can't stay outdoors. I have to cool down again by going to other places, so why not have a dinner here?
Facing Shi Shouxin, he wasn't that particular.
Shi Shouxin thought about the ice cubes in his room and said sincerely: "Your Majesty has been frugal in his life, which is unprecedented in ancient times."
Luo Youdu said: "There are too many things to do. At first, I was worried that I would lose control if I relaxed, but later I got used to it."
The two old men reminisced about the past with each other, and they felt sad when talking about the past.
Even though he was getting older, Luo Youdu himself didn't drink much. He spent most of his time chatting, and also talked about the recent situation in Beijing.
Shi Shouxin caught Luo Kangrui and praised him fiercely, saying that he had the same demeanor as Luo Youdu in the past.
Luo Youdu was beaming when he heard this. At his age, praising the son he had trained was more satisfying than praising himself. He said with a bit of pride: "Bringing Kou Zhun from Qinghai to attract everyone's attention, secretly
But let Bao Zheng peel off the silk and cocoon to find out everything, one light and one dark, two-pronged approach, no matter how deep the little thief Xiao hides, there is nothing to hide."
Kou Zhun is a strong man and will move forward no matter what pressure he encounters when investigating the case, attracting attention. Bao Zheng is insightful and thoughtful. The two of them will tell the story of the dirty things that the Tang family has done over the years and the fate of Da Yu, the protective umbrella behind the Tang family. Money Bag Sansi wiped his underwear clean.
Luo Youdu acted as a spectator throughout the whole process and did not give any help to the prince Luo Kangrui.
The only person who is related is Bao Zheng...
Luo Youdu still finds it funny when he thinks about it now: When he learned that Luo Kangrui had hired Bao Zheng, his jaw dropped immediately. He once wondered whether his precious son had traveled through time like him. After testing for a while, he finally learned the cause and effect.
It turned out that the problem lay with Bao Lingyi. Bao Lingyi was lucky enough to pass the imperial examination. Based on his grades, it was not easy to enter the judicial system. But Luo Youdu gave him some advice for the sake of his future son. Let him always be responsible for judicial and criminal work, and give the future Bao Qingtian a good environment. Luo Youdu himself doesn't know whether it has any effect, but Bao Lingyi is not mediocre. His performance in office cannot be said to be outstanding, but it is quite satisfactory.
That's why Bao Zheng came into Luo Kangrui's sight.
What Luo Kangrui admires most about his father is his ability to tap talents. Any person he likes, whether it is Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Kou Zhun, Cao Wei, Li Jilong or Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu who are already famous all over the world. , Pang Ji, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Xiao Pai and other officials who were beginning to emerge, all had extraordinary talents.
Therefore, Luo Kangrui pays special attention to the talents that Luo Youdu likes, among which Bao Lingyi is the most...
There was no other reason. In Luo Kangrui's eyes, Bao Lingyi was the only being that his unattainable father had overlooked.
Of course Bao Lingyi is not bad, but compared to others he is still much inferior.
Luo Kangrui didn't take Luo Kangrui seriously at first. People always make mistakes. But Luo Youdu took care of Bao Lingyi many times, which made Luo Kangrui wonder if he didn't realize the potential of Bao Lingyi...
After going back and forth, Luo Kangrui did not discover Bao Lingyi's potential, but his increasingly mature son at Jinling Academy came into his sight. The underage Bao Zheng was actually able to assist his father in solving the case.
Luo Kangrui was also complacent about this, feeling that he had surpassed his father this time, and had been paying attention to the situation of Bao Lingyi, Bao Zheng and his son.
The excellent character and insightful talent that Bao Zheng showed when he was attending Jinling University were all in Luo Kangrui's eyes, waiting for him to graduate from high school and cultivate them.
There was serious collusion between officials and businessmen in Beijing and someone was needed to cooperate with Kou Zhun in secret. Luo Kangrui thought of Bao Zheng first and secretly transferred him to Luoyang.
Now that he had mentioned this matter, Luo Youdu added one more sentence: "I wanted to let those who underestimate the prince see more of my son's power. Now that Brother Shi is here, let's put an end to this matter."
Luo Youdu had actually anticipated the turmoil caused by the businessman's power.
The rapid rise of businessmen will inevitably corrode people's hearts by relying on their own advantages.
Especially in this era, it is the first time that businessmen have received such attention and become the main force in the development of the imperial court. There are no lessons for them to learn from the past thousand years. How many people can grasp the bottom line in this trend?
So Luo Youdu wants to set a rule and a standard for them...
Originally, when the case was over, he should have come forward to calm things down, but just thinking about the injustice Luo Kangrui had suffered over the years, he, as a father, felt angry in his heart and couldn't help but delay it to see who really dared to say that his son was wrong.
Shi Shouxin was even more happy and drank a few more glasses.
It wasn't until nightfall that the two reluctantly said goodbye.
Luo Youdu had the tableware removed and he packed up the documents on his desk. Looking at the paper stained by ink, he suddenly thought: Is this God's will?
In recent years, he has tried his best to promote the progress of the times, and the results have been remarkable. However, compared with his expectations, there is still a slight gap.
Nowadays, he has no more energy to fiddle with and takes the time to write down the future development trends so that future generations can learn from them.
Today I am writing about constitutional monarchy. Luo Youdu does not think that constitutional monarchy is very wise, nor does he think that constitutional monarchy is suitable for China.
According to Luo Youdu, the only benefit of a constitutional monarchy is that it allows his descendants to become a symbol and ensure the inheritance of the dynasty.
So he has been hesitant to write down this system...
