Dahan first prince

Chapter 357 Qi Mo's three-word defense
Disappointed by this sudden turn of events, Liu Ying lost her will to continue the inspection, instead she went to the office room in Lubanyuan, took a rest, and questioned the matter carefully.

Facing Liu Ying's inexplicable anger, Yang Chengyan was trembling and waited on him carefully, not daring to speak at all;
On the other hand, Yang Li, who seemed to have expected this long ago, followed Liu Ying into the classroom with a distressed expression.

As for Lu Ping, he stood in front of Liu Ying full of embarrassment, buried his head deeply, and looked like he was "ashamed to see others".

Walking into the class room, sitting down on the wooden couch at the top, and just sweeping around in the class room, Liu Ying's complexion became even more serious.

"Luban Court has just been built, and the shadow of Shanglin Court is still not visible. Lu Yuanling is so angry in this class?"

The extremely cold whisper made Lu Ping subconsciously raise his head to defend himself, but after seeing the anger in Liu Ying's eyes clearly, Lu Ping finally had to let out a short sigh, and immediately lowered his head again.

——Lu Ping understands that Liu Ying's anger is not because of this magnificent classroom at all;
No matter how Lu Ping argues, as long as he doesn't clarify the question of 'why the minister became Lu Ban's court order', he will not be able to calm Liu Ying's anger after all...
"Speaking bluntly, there is no need to be scruples!"

"—But the Queen Mother ordered you, for this Luban court order?!"

Asking the question mercilessly, Liu Ying's already troubled mood suddenly became more agitated.

Speaking of which, Lu Ping is a poor man.

In terms of family background, Lu Ping is considered to be from a famous family anyway, and now he has to call the empress dowager an aunt, and the emperor Liu Ying a cousin;
But precisely because of the taint of 'following mother's surname', most of Lu Ping's aura of identity was covered by the insulting term 'newborn child'.

Nowadays, Lu Tai, Lu Chan, Lu Lu and others who are the second-generation children of the Lu family like Lu Ping are basically those who get promoted, and those who get rich get rich.
Even if one day, these people stumble somewhere, and with the support of the Empress Dowager Donggong, they will always be able to ensure a worry-free life.

But only this Lu Ping, the nobles are not like the nobles, and the relatives are not like the relatives. They are not as good as their superiors, but more than their inferiors, so they are in an embarrassing situation.

Logically speaking, Liu Ying should have had some sympathy for such a poor person, especially the mother's cousin who was in a bad situation, and took care of him as much as she could.

But at this moment, looking at Lu Ping's long-lost face, knowing that this matter was favored by the Empress Dowager Lu Zhi, Liu Ying couldn't help but get angry.

It's not because of Lu Ping's inferior background, nor is it because of any doubts about Lu Ping's ability, and it's not because there are extravagant class rooms inside and out.

What really made Liu Ying feel angry was precisely Lu Ping, who became Lu Ban's court order!

——Let’s not talk about it far away, let’s just talk about it just now, why did Liu Ying half-intentionally and half-accidentally "activate" the Lubanyuan defense system?
From the only five school lieutenants in the Southern Army, a whole school lieutenant's department was completely drawn out as the permanent defense force of Lubanyuan. Who was Liu Ying guarding against?
In this military restricted zone, which is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, ordinary people, even ordinary birds and beasts can't easily get close to it. For whom does such an elite army exist?
Isn't it just to cut off those greedy hands who have a monstrous background and bold exploits, stretching out to the Shaofu? !
Now it's a good thing: Liu Ying is busy with both inside and outside, deploying troops to garrison, and coordinating internally and externally. She finally erected the framework of Luban Garden without attracting the attention of those moths;

As a result, today, the Huangwu Zuozhu, which belongs to the Son of Heaven, appeared outside Luban Garden for the first time, and Liu Ying learned that the "worm" she had worked so hard to guard against had actually become the Luban Garden Order... ·
"Bastard!"

"Everyone is a jerk!!!"

The more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, Liu Ying simply stopped putting on airs, overturned the wooden case in front of her, and stood up from the couch.

"OK······"

"it is good!"

"Very good!"

Pointing her trembling fingers at Lu Ping, and looking sideways at Yang Chengyan and Yang Li, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out the word "good". The anger in Liu Ying's chest finally reached its peak.

"I act as your confidant, but you are deceiving my young and weak?!"

"Since that's the case, from now on, I will never bother with this Luban Garden!!!"

"Even if Lubanyuan was hit by a sky thunder, don't come looking for me!!!!!!"

With a hoarse roar, Liu Ying flicked her sleeves in anger, and was about to walk out of the classroom with big strides.

In the classroom, Lu Banyuan ordered Lu Ping to still kneel on the ground, wryly smiling again and again;

Yang Chengyan was frightened and stunned by Liu Ying's never-before-seen outrage, and couldn't recover for a long time;
Looking at Lu Ping's bitterness, He Muran, and Yang Chengyan's terrified face, Yang Li smiled wryly and shook his head.

"really······"

"Sure enough..."

Full of Xiao Se shaking his head and sighing, Yang Li finally straightened up and straightened his clothes solemnly;

Taking another deep look at Lu Ping, who was kneeling down, Yang Li raised the hem of his robe and quickly followed in the direction Liu Ying left.

——Yang Li knew that what Liu Ying just said was all angry words;

But at the same time, Yang Li also knew clearly: If he didn't catch up, his angry words would be labeled as 'no joke'...
·
"What else can Shanglin Ling say?!"

Outside Luban Garden, next to the imperial chariot.

Listening to Liu Ying's cold tone without the slightest warmth, Yang Li was startled, but had no choice but to calm down.

"Your Majesty Wanwang, let Rong Chen argue..."

"If the minister argues, but His Majesty is still angry, the minister will be dismissed from office and return to his hometown, and will never return to Chang'an..."

"Even the ink language that I have learned, I will never teach it to the two of you..."

Yang Li said sadly, but it only made Liu Ying sneer again and again.

"how?"

"Shanglin ordered Yu Luban to be displeased with Mo, and finally wants to show his eloquence in front of me?!"

"Humph!!!"

The words full of sarcasm only made Yang Li's sad face worse, he raised his head full of complexity, and looked at Liu Ying's furious face.

After being watched by Yang Li for a long time, although Liu Ying's anger did not dissipate in the slightest, she finally softened involuntarily.

"Three words!"

"If within three words, Shanglin Ling can't dispel my anger, I will hang up my official seal and tell my old age to return to my hometown!!!"

After saying a word full of determination, Liu Ying raised her head, raised her eyebrows coldly, and looked at Yang Li without any trace of the peace in the past.

For the Mohists, especially the Qin Mo Luban lineage of engineers, Liu Ying undoubtedly had extremely high expectations.

But this doesn't mean that Yang Li can trample on Liu Ying's bottom line without any scruples!
This is not just a question of "whether the Shaofu can allow the dignitaries to dig the walls and mix sand", but also concerns Liu Ying's imperial majesty.

Seeing the determination in Liu Ying's eyes, Yang Li also understood: the future of himself, and even the entire Mo family, may depend on his next three sentences of defense.

Thinking of this, Yang Li forced himself to calm down, straightened his waist solemnly, and his brain began to flow rapidly.

A moment later, Yang Li's first explanation rang out outside the gate of Luban Garden.

"Your Majesty."

"The minister went to Changle and begged the Queen Mother to regard the Lu family as Lu Banlin. One of them is because of the filial piety of the Han Dynasty."

With an extremely serious tone, Yang Li took another deep breath and explained: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao passed away, His Majesty was weak and took charge of the government until now, and anyone who said that His Majesty wanted to be rumored about the Empress Dowager's regime, it has been a long time. Absolutely in Guanzhong."

"Even though His Majesty is benevolent and filial, and respectful to the Queen Mother as before, but inside and outside the court, there are still not many people who want to show His Majesty the Queen Mother's mother and child."

"Now, at the age of seventeen, His Majesty has been crowned as a pro-government, and he is in Shanglin Xinglu Banyuan, and it is strictly forbidden for the nobles and relatives of meritorious officials to intervene in it."

"I fear that if you wait for a long time, there may be unfaithful and unfilial treacherous people among the nobles and relatives, who will slander and seduce the queen mother, so as to connect the mother and son of the heavenly family."

"The old minister invites the Queen Mother to use the Lu family as the Luban Court Order; in this way, in the future, when there are meritorious princes who can't ask for it, when the Queen Mother slanders and bewitches, they can get this 'Luban Order' for the Queen Mother to ask questions. Let the Queen Mother know the truth..."

After saying these words with a firm gaze, Yang Li raised his head deliberately again, as if he wanted Liu Ying to see clearly that there was nothing but calm in his gaze.

Indeed, as Yang Li expected, upon hearing his first argument, the frightening anger on Liu Ying's face dissipated quite a bit, almost visibly with the naked eye.

I have to say that Yang Li's remarks really touched on Liu Ying's itch.

In her previous life, Liu Ying wasted her entire life because of competing with her mother, Lv Zhi, or "struggling for undeserved power over her own strength".

But in this life, with the previous life as a comparison, Liu Ying came to realize belatedly: in the previous life, what really broke Liu Ying and Lu Zhi's mother and son was not Lu Zhi's strength or Liu Ying's incompetence at all.

The reason could not be simpler: according to the political system of the Han Dynasty, that is, under the unique "two palaces" system of the Han Dynasty, the power of the court is nothing more than in the hands of the queen mother and the emperor.

As for who is more directly in control, the main reference is who is more capable and can better stabilize the court.

To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty, which has two palaces as double insurance, does not need the empress dowager and the emperor to be capable at the same time. As long as one of the two can control the court, it is enough.

If the queen mother can calm down, then the queen mother will come to court, and the emperor will obediently nest in the palace and study, or follow the mother's ass to learn;
When the emperor is able to control the court, the queen mother will be able to retreat to the backstage as a matter of course, and enjoy two years of good fortune, so that she can enjoy her old age in peace.

In such a mode, there is a 'Queen Dowager' as a transition in the process of handing over power. In the feudal dynasty, it can be said that it is almost foolproof.

But bad, also bad in this 'safety'.

——The Holy King and the Ming King are the "good emperors" in the hearts of the people in the world; but in the eyes of the courtiers, every holy king is an undoubted tyrant!
The former emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the imperial power suffered a major blow. This was a rare respite for the foreign dynasty.

After all, after so many years under the 'coercion' of the first emperor, it was rare to have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, and Wai Chao was naturally unwilling to let it go.

This is also the reason why in history, whenever the imperial power changes, the political structure of the court will always change, and there will always be some thorns in the outer court, and even the reasons for powerful officials.

Because power is like gold half hidden in the soil - if you see it, if you don't reach out to take it, someone else will definitely leave.

And after the transitional product of the 'Queen Dowager', the 'outside respite period' during the alternation of imperial power will completely disappear;

Courtiers would face an infinite cycle of 'first being overwhelmed by the first emperor, then overwhelmed by the empress dowager, and when the empress dowager gets old, the new monarch begins to be overwhelmed again'.

Such an infinite loop is obviously not what Waichao wants to see.

Therefore, even though she was very reluctant to admit it, Liu Ying could only admit that Yang Li was right.

For this life, not to repeat the mistakes of the previous life, and lose the good game because of "discord with the empress dowager", in Shanglin Garden, there must be an eyeliner of the empress dowager.

And the best eyeliner of the Empress Dowager Lu's Pheasant is undoubtedly attached to Lu's Lu's relatives;

The eyeliner position that can best ensure the relationship between Liu Ying and Lu Zhi's mother and son is also obviously the most critical position in Shanglin Garden: Luban Garden.

With Lu Ping serving as the order of the Luban Court, regardless of the specific things that can be accomplished, at least one day, when the Empress Dowager Lu Zhi gave birth to "my son is in Shanglin Garden, what is going on with me", Lu Ping can immediately stand up and tell Lu Ban Pheasant: Don’t worry about it, the most important Luban Court in Shanglin is in the hands of my nephew...

"Well······"

"Li'er is such a lier..."

She nodded thoughtfully, and when she regained her senses, Liu Ying looked at Yang Li with a slightly meaningful gaze.

"Qi Mo's three-word debate..."

"At the beginning, the king is bombed, and the world is settled with one word..."

"sharp."

Thinking of this, Liu Ying turned her head with a smile, the slightest anger had disappeared from her face.

Just now, Liu Ying gave Yang Li a chance to say three words to convince herself to turn around;

But Yang Li's "Three Words Argument" hit Liu Ying firmly in the heart.

——Different from the "step-by-step" debate and dialectics that the world subconsciously follows, the biggest feature of Qi Mo's three-word debate is that it starts off with the king bomb!
A Wang Bo directly ended the game, making the opponent unprepared and confused, and even directly persuaded.

Since Yang Li's move was the "Qi Mo Three Words Argument" that dumped Wang Zha at the beginning, there was no need for Liu Ying to listen to the next two sentences.

Sometimes, there is no need to say too much to justify;

As long as there is one sentence that can convince people, it is enough.

"How is the progress of bamboo paper and wood paper?"

Liu Ying's abrupt question finally made Yang Li heave a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly turned sideways and stretched out his hand towards Lu Banyuan behind him.

"Your Majesty, please come and watch it in person!"

But Liu Ying waved her hand in a lack of interest, and then smiled and let out a short sigh.

"That's it~"

"The 'Luban Yuanling', I'd better see it rarely."

It seemed to be joking, but also teased with some deep meaning, Liu Ying turned around on her own.

Just as she was about to board the imperial chariot, Liu Ying looked back at Yang Li as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Go get some of the thinnest and softest bamboo paper."

"Changle Tomorrow, I will send it to the Empress Dowager..."
