Xinshun 1730

chapter 310

The rest of the people left, and the purple smoke from the incense burner diffused in the room, making people drowsy.

This is a confidential place, no glass windows are installed, but thick window paper is still used.

Perhaps the emperor always discusses some shady things here, even if he knows that there is no one outside the glass window, but seeing the transparent glass and the hot sunlight makes him feel uncomfortable.

The emperor didn't make Liu Yu wait for too long. After everyone had left, he let Liu Yu sit aside and asked with a smile, "Shou usual, your return from Weihai this time is quite different from previous years."

"In today's court, I thought you were going to spout and curse like a hedgehog again. At that time, when someone said that you were 'a traitor like Zhang Qian, Banchao', I wanted to see what you said. I really didn't expect , you are so honest."

The period of silence in the court today was almost caused by everyone thinking that Liu Yu would choose to retaliate.

Not only the emperor, but many ministers at the court meeting today were also puzzled.

The words that were said later, such as Wenjing, Hanwu, etc., were already beyond the emperor's expectations, and he really didn't expect Liu Yu to learn to endure.

Liu Yu was thinking about Tian Zhenyi's admonition, and had already made a draft before coming to Beijing. At this time, she began to slowly brew her emotions, and a strange expression appeared on her face.

He thought that this expression should be three parts guilty, three parts ashamed, and four parts powerless and bewildered.

But after all, his expression was not so natural, and the expression he made seemed to be constipated.

"Your Majesty, I... I am really ashamed when I think about what I did before. From the time when Jinshuiqiao was right, until last year, I..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said sincerely: "After the minister finished speaking, please don't laugh at Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"Yes. Before, I always thought that my thoughts were right. At that time, I was young and frivolous, so I couldn't help thinking that if I was right, then others were wrong; if I was loyal, those who opposed me were traitors; It is beneficial, and if others oppose it, it will be harmful to the Celestial Dynasty, so what is it if you are not a traitor?"

"It's only in the past few years that I have figured it out. There are so many talents in the world. How can there be only a few loyal ministers if His Majesty is full of wisdom and warriors?"

"It's nothing more than that I think it's right. Those who oppose me naturally think they are right. They all want to share the worries of His Majesty, but the route is different."

"That's why, every time I think about this matter, I feel ashamed when I think of my frivolous appearance when I was young. At that time, I always felt that I was the loyal minister, and you who opposed you were treacherous ministers. See if I don't fight you..."

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Hahahahaha..."

After laughing for a long time, he glanced at Liu Yu, and his heart was really like this, young man's heart, which one didn't come like this?
He didn't know that Liu Yu was deliberately pretending to be a teenager in the past, he couldn't help but think of some naive thoughts he had when he was the prince, and when he thought about it, he was already over forty in a blink of an eye, those days were gone forever, and he sighed in his heart , there is inevitably some depression.

Recalling the time when Jinshuiqiao asked the right person, thinking about Liu Yu's cleverness and besieging Raksha Castle, and then thinking about the tacit consent to kill the whole family of the Black Mountain and Baishan faction when he pacified Junggar...

Hearing what Liu Yu said, the emperor felt quite capable of understanding Liu Yu's thoughts.

That's all Xin Dao said. When a teenager is crazy, he always feels that what he is doing is right, so isn't it true that others are wrong?

"You, you... You know that your problem is not limited to this one."

Liu Yu pretended to be surprised, knelt down and said, "Please give me your advice, Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't let Liu Yu get up straight this time, pretending to be unintentional, but said with a smile on his face: "The problem you had at that time was not thinking that you were right and others were wrong. It was that you thought you were the only one who was smart in the world. , You can think of ways that others can't think of, or others don't understand, so when you do some things, you always think about cutting first and playing later."

"I don't blame you for a person like you. I just feel that what I do is beneficial to the country and the king. I just do it first."

"I also thought at the time that you have a youthful heart. But it is different now. You have been knighted, and you will be in charge of important things in the future. Although no one can control your Whale Sea Jiedushi, you are the youngest Jiedu in this dynasty. Dushi. I feel that I want you to experience and practice again, to hone your mind."

"Today you can say that, I am very relieved, it can be said that you have lived up to my heart."

"There is no such thing as black and white in the world? Just say that today in the court, those people criticized you, isn't it because they are firm in their hearts and think that they are right, so you are wrong? They think they are Loyal minister, aren’t you a traitor?”

"I'm not a foolish king. Is it possible that there are always half of the treacherous ministers in the court? If you can figure this out, it's not in vain for my painstaking efforts. Hard work always pays off."

"There's nothing wrong with thinking that I'm smart. I'm afraid that I'm the only smart person in the world and everyone else is stupid."

These words, which can be regarded as beatings and win-wins, made Liu Yu pretend to be terrified, and kowtowed: "It turns out that His Majesty knew about it a long time ago. It's just...just that I dared to ask, because I was so stubborn back then, Your Majesty also thought of it. Why don't you mention Wei Chen?"

The emperor laughed and said: "Hahaha... What's the use of mentioning something? When everyone was young, I was young too. Who in the world has no parents? Doesn't Duke Yi mention you? It's just that when you were young, Jun, No matter how much the father and teacher say, what's the use? There are some things that you have to think about yourself."

"The ancients said: It's not too late to mend a dead sheep. Now that you can figure it out, I've said it ten thousand times before. I'm afraid it's useless. It depends on yourself."

After all, the emperor thought of a joke, and asked Liu Yu to get up first, and then said: "I know that your whole heart is in the East, the South, and the navy. I am afraid that if you have done all these things now, you will feel that it doesn't matter in the future. Anyway, you should You have done everything you have done, and you are simply detached, and you will learn from the elders at a young age?"

It's just a joke, and it's not funny at all.Liu Yu chuckled twice, thinking where is this going?

It's just that what Nanyang has to do in the future, I'm afraid we won't have a common language between us. Instead of doing this, it's better to pretend to be honest and trembling for a few years.

"Your Majesty... the minister's thoughts and worries, whether it is Eastern or Southern Ocean, are all for the sake of the country, for Your Majesty."

The emperor is still laughing.

"Of course I know. If not, even if I cherish your talent no matter how much I love you, I will beat you up. Could it be that I can't even tell the good from the bad, the loyal and the traitorous?"

"In the past, you didn't want to be in the court, you just wanted to go out and do things. I also thought, you are young and frivolous, and you have to quarrel in the court, why don't you go out to do some practical things. Now that you have thought clearly, you should deal with Nanyang affairs. Definitely, you will enter the imperial court and practice in the imperial court for a few more years to learn some court skills."

"You, you only know how to do things outside, but you don't know how to do things in the court. It's not enough to learn how to endure now. You also need to learn how to do things in the court to be of great use."

The size, of course, refers to the size of entering the Tianyou Temple.

The emperor calmly mentioned that Liu Yu must be allowed to enter the court for Nanyang affairs, which is equivalent to the right to withdraw troops.

Liu Yu knew it in his heart, but he didn't seem to care about it at all, and said: "I really don't know the way of doing things in the court, and I really lack experience. Your Majesty has insight, and I have been thinking about this issue in the past few years."

"Whether it's the minister going to Yongning Temple, training troops at the small station, or practicing the navy in Weihai...everything I do is done from scratch. There is no one to hinder you. Your Majesty trusts you infinitely, and it's up to you to do what you want."

"Thinking about it carefully, I have never tried a thing that has objections, nor have I ever dealt with a complicated thing that didn't start from scratch."

"Even if I was designated by His Majesty as the envoy of Jinghai, there is almost nothing to do in this Jinghai. If it is barren, you can do whatever you want, but the real difficulty is to get rid of the weeds among the good and the bad. The minister is still far away."

These words are not all false, but at least six points of sincerity.

The emperor nodded slightly, thinking that it was indeed so.I can rest assured that you can do these things from scratch, and someone will always need to develop them; but there are disputes in the court, opposition everywhere, constraints everywhere, how to make things out of chaos, you are still far behind.

Thinking of waiting for Nanyang to be pacified, the Celestial Empire to be stable, there are too many complicated things in the world, and there are too many things to change.Thinking that I am over forty years old, I always have to finish a lot of things before I die. Once Nanyang is settled and the navy is built, and there is no threat around me, then I should concentrate on myself.

People like Liu Yu are aggressive, but aggressiveness is a bit too aggressive, and it is definitely a useful talent when used in pioneering.But in the future, if there are changes, it will not work like this. It will be easy to break just after the end, and I am afraid that there will be big troubles at that time.

Thinking about the changes in the future, the emperor asked: "Tan Zhen once told you about the abolition of water transportation and changing it to sea transportation. He gave me a memorial and mentioned a sentence. You are the most determined in the court to abolish water transportation and change sea transportation. The second is to say in the court meeting, I was still worried that you would make some fierce words again. I was still thinking, I am afraid that there will be a real fight in the court... I am relieved that you can think so now."

The Jiedu envoy of Jiangsu did not write a letter to Liu Yu, but sent a message to others, and he did not avoid it.It was also mentioned in the memorial to the emperor. It is one thing whether the emperor sees it or doesn't care about it; it is another matter whether he mentions it himself.

It is no secret that Liu Yu definitely supports shipping. The emperor and even the court know it well.

But Liu Yu's words were too harsh before, and he sprayed it more than once in the memorial to the emperor, saying that officials along the way were embezzling, but those officials said how much it was good for the country...

It's not wrong to say these words, but if these words are spoken, the situation will be difficult to clean up.No matter what the reason is for those who oppose it, they don't want to bear such a reputation.

The emperor left Liu Yu today because he originally wanted to talk to Liu Yu about this matter: when Tan Zhen talked about this matter in court, Liu Yu should not follow him.Before the Nanyang issue is resolved and there is still a threat at sea, it is impossible for the emperor to agree to change the sea transportation.

But this matter cannot be directly told to Tan Zhen, because there is no way to explain the threat at sea, and Tan Zhen is not enough to know this kind of core secret.

It was also impossible not to allow the ministers to argue, because the emperor wanted to wait for the Nanyang issue to be resolved before solving the big problem of water transportation.Before that, it needs to be brought out every year to stir up enthusiasm, and it cannot be silent.The courtiers have to feel that the emperor is vacillating, while some people observe the emperor's heart, and there are waves every year.
