Chapter Eight hundred and fifty-eight What bad thoughts can Xianggong have?
Years later, the city of Tokyo was a little calmer, and no one knew that Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian, as prime ministers, had resorted to tricks against Ye An and Zhang Qi.
But facts are facts, and what has happened will not be forgotten, especially the parties involved, Ye An and Zhang Qi, who saw the true faces of the ministers almost at the same time.
It is true that Ye An is a civil servant, but he is a different kind of civil servant. A civil servant who is at a distance from the civil servant group. He has no power of his own and no backing. The only thing he can do is to rely on the power of the Tian family to maintain himself.
Not only Ye An recognized this fact, Zhang Qi also did the same. On the second day of the Changning Festival banquet, Ye An exchanged letters with Zhang Qi. Although the two were not political allies now, they were not
Prevent them from communicating with each other.
Ye An entered the palace again. This time he came to pay homage to the officials and saints. The New Year had passed and the Cao family's affairs had been settled. Ye An had no excuse to stay in Tokyo, unless of course he was killed by Liu E or Liu E.
It was Zhao Zhen who persuaded him to stay.
However, this kind of retention would not happen. Liu E met Ye An in the back hall of Chongzheng Hall. From the beginning, she saw through the plan of Zhongshu's two husbands to attack their authority.
Liu E was still somewhat confident at first, but now it seems that the truth is far from being as simple as it seems. It was not until Ye An told her everything about Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian's methods that Liu E was shocked to realize the problem.
For Ye An and Zhang Qi, driving away wolves and devouring tigers is a good court method, but for Liu E, the so-called "swallowing wolves and driving away tigers" is just a cover, and the real purpose is to weaken
rights in one's own hands.
There was a slight silence in the palace. Lan Jizong felt the silence in the palace and slowly left the door on the pretext of serving tea. How could he not know that the saint was guarding himself.
Now Liu E is very dissatisfied with the internal servants. The forbidden news is constantly being revealed. The external ministers know everything in the palace, but the Imperial City Secretary is in name only in Tokyo and does not play the role of being the eyes and ears of the Tian family.
When Zhang Qi was in charge of Gouhuang City Division, he was well-informed about internal and external news, but now... Glancing at the closed door, Liu E shook her head slightly. She probably didn't blame Chen Lin, after all, he was completely restrained by this kid in front of him.
Already.
"You didn't mess around and came to the palace to say goodbye on the same day. Unlike some courtiers, who knew that the time had passed and still stayed in Tokyo. I don't know whether you were nostalgic for the prosperity of Tokyo or whether it was because of nostalgia for the prosperity of Tokyo.
I think Xuzhou Tongpan’s dispatch is too small.”
This is Qian Weiyan, who is well-known as an "old rascal" in Tokyo. Even when the palace decree came down, he used various excuses to refuse. Naturally, Ye An couldn't say much. Liu E was
Beat yourself up with this.
"I don't dare to shirk the imperial edict unless I return to Beijing because of Duke Cao's affairs..."
Liu E nodded slightly, looked at Ye And and said: "That's true, you are really a "wonderful master of rejuvenation"! Hearing that Cao Guogong was suffering from lung fever, the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless, and Wang Weiwei concluded that he didn't have much time left.
I never thought that you could save his life. Now that he is out of bed and eating as usual... I am curious, is there any skill in this world that you don't know?"
Ye An was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's not because I have any means, but because my family is profound and profound!"
Liu E picked up the tea cup by the table, glanced at the door and said with a smile: "You have spared no effort in studying the study of objects!" Liu E saw through Ye An's intention at a glance.
Ye An said shamelessly: "What the sage said is very true. The study of studies is of great use to the country. Does what the sage saw with his own eyes still need to be promoted by my ministers? Facts speak louder than words! The study of studies is so outstanding.
Why are there always people who don’t want to promote this knowledge to benefit the world, benefit the people, and even benefit the country?!”
Liu E did not answer Ye An's question, but she looked at Ye An as if she were looking at a monster. After a long time, she slowly said: "You kid... do you know that the disputes between schools used to be bloody?
Confucianism is what it is today because of the mountains of corpses and the sea of people. You let people easily hold grand events with your study of things?! Look at the people in this court who are not from Confucianism. How many students are studying Confucian classics.
, if your study of studying things rises and becomes a practical science, where will you put them?! If you hadn't used the guise of Confucianism from the beginning, would your study of studying things be what it is today? But then again, look at your study of studying things.
Learning among the people has become a craftsman's learning, and it may be difficult to maintain it!"
Liu E's words were like a final answer to Ye An, and the problems that had been bothering him were finally solved. The study of objects cannot be strong. As long as its power and practicality are exposed, it will attract people to learn. This is the human pursuit of knowledge.
However, with the growth of Gewu Studies, Confucianism will definitely not tolerate it again. Even if Gewu Studies is in the name of Confucianism, Confucianism will not hesitate to "clean up the family."
"There is no first place in literature and no second place in military affairs. Exquisite learning can only exist in one place. This is also what Wang Xianggong and Lu Xianggong think... I have lost my etiquette before the emperor!" Ye An seemed to have made a slip of the tongue and suddenly came back to his senses with an embarrassed look on his face.
Look at Liu E.
And Liu E raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? You do know, but this matter is not for you, Ye An, Ye Changsheng, but for me."
Ye An looked at Liu E in surprise and then said seriously: "The two husbands, Wang and Lu, are the pillars of the imperial court. How can they have any bad intentions towards the saint? Ye An thinks that maybe he has other intentions!"
Liu E sneered in her heart. Sure enough, she still had a young mind. She could think of one thing but not the other. Her vision was still a bit narrow, and she did not associate the attack on him with herself, the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty who listened behind the curtain.
Liu E didn't point it out and instead smiled and said: "Oh? Since you think so, then it's your fault to guess the two husbands-in-law?" But her laughter was cold and inhumane.
Ye An said solemnly: "I dare not, nor would I think so. The saint is the queen of the country and the mother of the world. His words and actions have their own cause and effect. It is just that I am young and ignorant and do not understand the true meaning!"
Liu E was very pleased with this flattery, and then he waved his long sleeve and threw out a piece of snow-white object. Ye An took it and saw a fine white jade gui.
"You are a kid who is sometimes smart and sometimes confused. You don't know whether it is true or not, but at least you know where the interests of the world belong! When I am in power, you rely on me. If one day I am no longer here, you will respect me again.
The official family comes first!"
Seeing that Ye An was about to explain, Liu E frowned slightly and said: "This is not a wrong thing, why should you hide it in front of me? People in the world hope that officials will rule in person, but I have always held the power of the state. Who doesn't tell me?
Absolutely monopolizing power?! But how many people still want to assist me in governing the country? Why, for the Song Dynasty! What is the difference between me and those clanky ministers? Isn’t it to protect the country of the Song Dynasty?! So
You can serve me well, but you cannot indulge me too much. Otherwise, where is my majesty and how will the people of the world regard me?"
These words were very thorough, Ye An crossed his hands and bowed: "I know!"
Liu E waved her hand, indicating that Ye An could resign. These words expressed her feelings, but they also made Ye An understand that the empress dowager, who was devoted to the world, would begin to consolidate the power in her hands.
