Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 190 Getting along (3)
"Fasting?" Guo Changxi was a little surprised, "Why haven't I heard about this?"

Yang Yongzhuang sighed pretendingly: "This is what His Majesty decided a long time ago, so he was busy dealing with government affairs the day before yesterday. Besides, His Majesty didn't plan to bring you ladies here, but..."

This kind of argument makes sense, after all, His Majesty was indeed very busy a few days ago, not only did she not come to see His Majesty, but even the precious concubine was rejected, but Guo Changxi always felt that something was wrong, after all, she is a person who has no meat and no joy , and suddenly changed to a vegetarian diet, everyone will feel that there is something tricky in it.However, she was only a little skeptical, and didn't dare to break in to check it out with her own eyes, so she had to leave reluctantly, but she had doubts in her heart, and decided to find an opportunity to find out the truth.

Seeing Guo Changxi leave helplessly, Yang Yong snorted, turned and left.

Before dark, Emperor Xian De sent someone to send Su Wan back, and came to pick her up the next day, like this, three or four days passed.

Although Mrs. Ma was a little puzzled, why the lady kept sending people to pick up her wife, but never came to visit in person.Su Wan explained to her that the lady was unwell and not good at walking, so she couldn't come in person. She was not in good health, and she was very lonely, so she bothered Su Wan to go and accompany her.

Only then did Mrs. Ma understand and stop asking about this matter.

Even on this day, when Su Wan said that the lady was going back to the capital soon, and asked her to stay there for two days, she didn't doubt anything.

Su Wan took Qing Ling to live in Emperor Xiande's courtyard for two days.

In the past few days, Su Wan has been with Emperor Xiande every day. It has to be said that Emperor Xiande is very good at pleasing women, and he is indeed versatile. Every time Su Wan talked with him, he benefited a lot. Even if he put aside his status as the emperor, he is still a very attractive man to women. Every time she is with him, she feels very relaxed and happy. , as if she didn't have to worry about anything, she didn't feel the passage of time at all, and every time, without her knowing it, he told her something she didn't want to say.

Emperor Xiande also looked at Su Wan with admiration. Before, Su Wan attracted Emperor Xiande only because of her appearance, personality, and various performances that surprised him, which made him more and more interested in her.However, no matter how different Su Wan behaves, in terms of vision and insight, I am afraid she can only be the same as other women, and she is only confined to the back house.

Of course, there are also quite a few imperial wives, their vision is not limited to the back house, they know very much about the affairs in the court, and they have a lot of experience, and their husbands also discuss with them when they go back, but Su Wan is different from them.

Naturally, Su Wan was not very clear about the affairs in the court, and she didn't even know who the ministers were.But no matter what topic he talked about, Su Wan seemed to be able to catch up.

For example, sometimes when he accidentally said something about the people's livelihood, she could actually say one, two, three, and the idea was novel and quite reasonable. Although what he said was very simple, some parts seemed unrealistic and too naive , but with this kind of thinking, it is no longer comparable to other women.

What impressed him the most was that her views on honest and corrupt officials made him feel refreshed and deeply moved.

Su Wan said: "Everyone knows that corrupt officials are hateful, but they don't know that some honest officials are even more hateful. Honest officials think that I don't want money and there is nothing I can't do, so they are self-willed, killing people if they are small, and harming the country if they are big... Some scholars, two If you don't listen to things outside the window, and only read the books of sages and sages, and don't know the world, if you become an official, you may make mistakes. The world's major events are worse than treacherous officials, but three or four out of ten are worse than unsophisticated gentlemen. There are six out of ten..."

In fact, these are the words of Liu E, the author of the novel "Lao Can's Travels" in the late Qing Dynasty. Most people in her era have heard such arguments, and their ears are already callused, and there is nothing to move.Su Wan was just trying to catch people's teeth, she just thought of it and said it now, but she didn't know how shocking and thought-provoking it was.

In fact, what Su Wan said coincides with Emperor Xian De's thoughts, and his views on some upright officials are not very good.

Those upright officials always put on an upright attitude, as if they are the only ones who are right and everyone else is wrong.As long as corrupt officials are right, they must be wrong. Even if he, the emperor, dismissed their opinions, they seemed to have been greatly insulted. They felt that the emperor didn't trust them, and instead favored those corrupt officials, it was really stupid.Inside and outside the words, the emperor was accused of being deceived by villains and listening to slander.Or it was a righteous posture, using his own life to threaten the emperor to change his mind.If the emperor disagreed, he would kill him head-on, instead fulfilling his fame for the rest of his life.

Emperor Xiande was most annoyed by those old-fashioned ruthless scholars who had no ability and loved to point fingers. He preferred ministers who were flexible, obedient but down-to-earth, and most of them were promoted now, even if they were greedy or otherwise. There is nothing wrong with it. After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Moreover, it is only when there are weaknesses that you can master them. As long as you have the ability and are willing to do practical things, you will be successful.

Therefore, he is more willing to use obedient corrupt officials than those disobedient and upright officials. At least they do things well, and they will not be like those upright officials who will only fight against him.Of course, if some officials go too far and exceed his bottom line, he can deal with it easily.

Su Wan didn't know that what she said actually touched Emperor Xiande's heart, making Emperor Xiande look at her with admiration.

She didn't know that she could speak so well, it was all because Emperor Xian De was too good at guiding others.When she was with Huo Yuan before, she was not so good at talking, and Huo Yuan never told her about the affairs in the court or the yamen, and never discussed any important matters with her, only discussed with Mrs. Tai.Maybe he had discussed it with Su Qingqian before, maybe he just felt that she came from a small family and didn't have much knowledge, that is to say, she didn't understand either!

She really didn't understand much, and now she was just talking on paper, telling what she saw.But if Marquis Chang Wu really regards her as his wife, he will tell her about it gradually, she will always understand, no one will know it at the beginning.

Su Wan was very relaxed and at ease with Emperor Xian De these few days.

Although Emperor Xiande is an emperor, he is extremely self-willed by nature, he is not an extremely disciplined person, even Su Wan thinks that he is the least disciplined person, and he does everything as he pleases.Dare to do what others dare not do, dare to think that others dare not think, even, his acceptance is higher than others, he will not restrict you, feel that your actions or ideas are shocking, and will guide you, in some aspects Speaking of you, he is very tolerant and will not look at you with a worldly perspective. Such a person should be very good at knowing people and making good use of them. No wonder he promoted so many people after he succeeded to the throne, and they all did a good job.
