Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 58 What is Freedom?
Seeing Cui Yun, who was concentrating on grinding ink, doing a set of movements smoothly and methodically, but his expression still could not hide his loneliness, Sheng Shaoqing suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"Tell me, if Cui Yun sees Lou Yujing with his own eyes, will he change his mind?"

【What?Host, are you asking me? 】

"Nonsense! Is there anyone else here now?"

[Host, not everything can see the end at the beginning. If you feel that this matter will benefit you more than harm, you can do it. Naturally, if any accident occurs, you will also be responsible for it. After all You are an adult and are responsible for your choices. 】

"However, I think meeting... What kind of accident can there be in such a thing?"

【Then who can say for sure? However, as your system, it can only provide you with advice and help, and you still have to walk the road yourself. 】

Sheng Shaoqing wondered, which string of the system is not stretched right today, why is it so sad?
"What's wrong with you?"

【what? 】

The system paused, [Mr. Cangsu's new book is so well written, I realized a lot of life philosophies, and this is how I realized it, host, don't be influenced by me. 】

Sheng Shaoqing: Did you emo the system?
wrong!

Why do you have the latest words book!
"Ha! Are you peeking?!"

The system doesn't care, [I'm just helping you check the quality of the script in advance, if you want to know, I can tell you right now. 】

! ! ! ! !

"Don't spoil me!!!!"

"My queen, the pen and paper are ready for you to use."

Sheng Shaoqing paced over slowly, pondered for a moment, wrote eloquently for a long time, and handed it to Cui Yun after the ink was dry, "After sealing it, send it to Yunshangshu as soon as possible, and then go to the Gyeonggi garrison to pass the decree. My family is not feeling well, and I want to go to Jingning Temple to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings. In the past two days, the defense of the capital needs to be strengthened, and the vehicles passing through must be strictly inspected before they can be released."

Cui Yun asked suspiciously, "Empress Dowager, why are you going to Jingning Temple all of a sudden?"

I'm sorry, but she has only heard of this Buddhist temple...

"Don't worry, when Ai's family returns to the palace, let the Jingji guards relax."

Only then did Cui Yun come to his senses, "Your Majesty, do you want to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Sheng Shaoqing nodded, "If they are going to act in the next two days, we won't be able to prepare for it for a while. If the action is too big, we may startle the snake. Only by letting them relax their vigilance can we invite you into the urn and give them a chance to catch the turtle."

"Then why let them go out of the city? If the guards find out, wouldn't it be better to arrest them on the spot?"

"Ajun, if you stole something, would you deliver it yourself?"

Cui Yun shook his head, "Then how are you sure that some of them will go to Chenliu?"

"Wang Shanggong said that they would change the carriage in Chenliu and be escorted south by Mrs. Wang. For such an important event, someone with a high status among the thieves must be present. Otherwise, if something happens, who will blame it?"

This leadership responsibility system is never out of date.

"After the stolen goods are captured together, wouldn't it be easier to catch them all by following the clues of this person?"

Cui Yun was amazed when he heard the words, the queen mother really had foresight, but what the queen mother said next made her doubt her own judgment.

"Ajun, do you want to meet Lou Yujing?"

"Ah?" Cui Yun was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react. Why did the Queen Mother think that one thing is one thing, and she asked this?
Sheng Shaoqing looked at Cui Yun's expression, but he was sure in his heart that he must want to see him, and he was stunned with joy, why not think about it?

Back then, when she succeeded in chasing stars, she also had this expression.

"The Ai family said that Lou Yujing's articles are good, and the Ai family wants to meet him. If he has the talent to become an official, wouldn't it be a pity to stay in the field?"

Cui Yun was silent for a moment, and continued, "What the queen mother said is reasonable, I will arrange it now."

No matter how noble and unparalleled Lou Yujing used to be, she did not bow down to the powerful, but now that she is willing to write a tribute to the Empress Dowager, she naturally has a plan. If she can help him, it can be regarded as the full of her admiration for so many years.

I only hope that he will prosper in official career from now on, but he will no longer be the handsome young man in her heart who sees wealth as floating clouds.

Sheng Shaoqing was a little strange, Cui Yun's expression really didn't look happy, "Ah Yun, if you have any ideas, you can say it directly, don't hold it back."

Cui Yun shook his head, "People go to high places, and water flows to low places. This is the way things are in the world, and even humble ministers can't control them."

"You don't want him to be an official?"

Cui Yun was silent for a long time, but decided to speak the truth, "Empress Dowager, I dare not lie to you. I really don't want him to be an official because of my selfishness."

"What? He has no talent or virtue? No way, if he is useless, you won't appreciate him much. What could be the reason?"

Sheng Shaoqing really couldn't figure it out.

Cui Yun sighed and said, "Mr. Lou's articles can be memorized back and forth. I appreciate his lonely appearance and yearn for his freedom. If he can do this all his life, I will be able to fulfill his wish. "

"I said something disrespectful. I have no possibility of freedom in this life. Therefore, I don't want Mr. Lou to be spared in this world. However, since this is Mr. Lou's own choice, I have nothing to say. , It's just that I'm just a little disappointed."

Isn't the end of the universe the system?

It would not be surprising if Lou Yujing wanted to be an official. However, the previous establishment was not good for officialdom, and he yearned for a plain life. Now that he suddenly changes his mind, there is a possibility that the house may collapse.

However, those who claim to die in Nanshan and retire to the countryside, after gaining popularity by relying on their talents and attitude of treating fame and fortune as dung, not many of them were invited back by the emperor. In fact, this is also a means of saving the country with curves.

"Being an official in the court can also make a difference, Ajun, do you misunderstand him?"

Cui Yun didn't speak, and sighed after a while, "Perhaps, it turns out that what I want all my life, in the eyes of others, is nothing more than an easy-to-get burden."

"My minister made a slip of the tongue, please punish the Queen Mother."

Sheng Shaoqing helped Cui Yun up, looked into her clear eyes, "You want freedom, Aijia allows you, but first you have to tell Aijia, what kind of freedom do you want?"

Cui Yun lowered his head to think for a moment, and then said, "When I was young, I was taught to be virtuous and virtuous in the future, to be a good girl and a good queen. It's just that I have an unruly temper, which often provokes me to take care of me. Fu’s mother is angry, and Fu’s mother will scold me and say, how can you marry someone like this?”

"At that time, the humble minister will push back, why should I marry?"

Cui Yun smiled, and continued, "Mother Fu is so angry with me, she will whip me with a cane and reprimand me at the same time, all girls want to marry, but I am born different!"
