When Daiyu sang softly again, even the emperor and Huang Jiyun were brought back to their minds.No one noticed Mo Xuan's strangeness.

"The smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls up, the horse neighs, the sword is like frost, and the heart is like the vastness of the Yellow River. In 20 years, who can resist, the hatred is mad, the long sword is directed, how many brothers and feet are loyal Burying bones in another hometown, why do you regret a hundred deaths to serve your homeland? I can't bear to sigh, and I am speechless. Blood and tears fill my eyes. Horseshoes go south. People look north. People look north. The grass is green and dusty. Heaven/North Korea will let the Quartet come to congratulate."

Just after Daiyu finished singing, the emperor had stood up, clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and said, "Okay! It's such a dignified heaven/chapo, let the Quartet come to congratulate you!" Even Huang Jiyun and Mo Xuan's eyes were shining brightly.

The emperor laughed a few times and didn't wait for Huang Jiyun and Mo Xuan to react, he narrowed his eyes suddenly, stared at Daiyu and asked, "Tell me, why did I send someone to invite your master here today?" Without waiting for Daiyu to speak , the emperor added: "Girl, don't tell fourth uncle, you just invited your master to have tea and listen to music."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, Huang Jiyun and Mo Xuan both recalled that the song Daiyu played today was not a whim, and it was not intentional, but deliberate.Even if the emperor didn't ask Mo Xuan to play, Daiyu would eventually find a way to bring the topic to it.Thinking of this, Huang Jiyun and Mo Xuan couldn't help but sweat for Daiyu.

Daiyu lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her head to look at the emperor and said with a smile: "Yu'er doesn't need to lie to the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle once promised Yu'er that she can speak freely. I invited the master to come here today, but I just want to ask for it first." Master’s opinion, let’s see if this matter is feasible.”

Not to mention that the emperor became energetic after listening to Daiyu's words, even Huang Jiyun also became interested.The emperor was not in a hurry to ask Daiyu to tell what happened.Instead, he waved his hand to let Mo Xuan look around.

After Mo Xuan came back from his tour and nodded to the emperor, the emperor nodded to Daiyu and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me, girl, let's discuss it together?" Daiyu didn't refuse, she thought about it and asked Said: "I don't know what kind of emperor is a good emperor in fourth uncle's mind? What kind of emperor can be called a holy king?"

As soon as Daiyu's words came out, both Huang Jiyun and Mo Xuan changed their expressions, and Mo Xuan hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Uncle!" But the emperor stopped Mo Xuan's words with a wave of his hand.Seeing this, Huang Jiyun frowned and looked at Daiyu, but finally said nothing.

The emperor stared at Daiyu without speaking, and Daiyu also looked into the emperor's eyes without flinching.The emperor was silent for a long time and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "In Yu'er's mind, what kind of emperor can be considered a good emperor? What kind of emperor can be called a holy king?"

Daiyu still looked into the emperor's eyes, and replied without thinking: "The top can govern the country in peace, and the bottom can care for the people. In Yu'er's eyes, only one can be called a 'good emperor'!"

The emperor nodded but still looked at Daiyu without saying a word. Daiyu thought about it this time and said, "But there is a gap of thousands of miles between a good emperor and a holy king. From ancient times to the present, there have been many good emperors. However, there are very few holy kings, and it is even said that according to Yu'er's superficial knowledge, there is no one who can be called a "sage king" by Yu'er."

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but Huang Jiyun had already started to break out in a cold sweat. Even Mo Xuan couldn't help but wink at Daiyu, but unfortunately, Daiyu never looked at him from the beginning to the end.The bright eyes have been looking only at the emperor's eyes.

Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "From Emperor Qin, Han and Wu, down to Tang Zong and Song Zu, they were all good emperors. But in their era, they failed to make the people live and work in peace, provide for the old and support the young. .It failed to allow the people to have books to read and clothes to wear. Even Emperor Taizong of Tang, although he said that all nations came to court, he could not even pacify the foreign nations around him."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu didn't speak any more, and just stared straight into the emperor's eyes.The emperor looked at him for a long time, and Fang sighed deeply: "Yu'er has a holy king in her heart, it's so difficult! I don't know who can do it..." After speaking, his expression was a little lonely.

Daiyu smiled slightly at this time and said: "Yu'er sees it as a woman, and I hope fourth uncle will forgive me a lot." After seeing the emperor and the three of them looked over, she continued: "Yu'er thinks that there must be a relationship first. The tenderness of the people. Then there must be the heroism of the knight. Finally, there must be the infatuation for the country, and only then can the way of the sage be achieved."

The emperor laughed and said, "You're talking about your infatuation with Jiangshan?" Daiyu didn't think about it, so she opened her mouth and replied, "Defend the land and open up the frontier!" Huang Jiyun was shocked by the short five words. Everyone was stunned.

Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "When my father was alive, he often said that the people were suffering, but why are the people suffering? Yu'er thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't understand it. It was said in the book: The prosperous people are suffering, and the dying people are suffering. But the people Why bother, I still haven't said it. Yu'er thought, if I can't find the reason for the suffering of the people, then I should help them live happily."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu looked at the emperor with burning eyes and said: "But Yu'er is a girl, how can He De help the people in the world?" After finishing speaking, Daiyu waited for a long time, but no one from the emperor, Huang Jiyun and others answered her. He could only smile and said: "So in Yu'er's mind, the only one who can help the people in the world is the emperor!"

After saying this, Daiyu took a deep breath, looked at the emperor and Huang Jiyun who was frowning, and at Mo Xuan who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and sat down on his own.

The emperor thought for a while, staring at Daiyu and asked, "If you are given the ability, how can you help the people?" Daiyu shook her head and said, "Yu'er doesn't know either." After speaking, she looked up at the emperor again and said : "But Yu'er knows that there are Japanese pirates in the southeast and barbarians in the northwest. But the Japanese pirates have boats, but we don't. The barbarians have horses, but we don't either."

Hearing this, Huang Jiyun reprimanded in a low voice: "Yu'er is so nonsense!" Daiyu was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Huang Jiyun, then laughed and said, "Yu'er understands." Then she didn't speak again.When Huang Jiyun reprimanded Daiyu, the emperor did not stop him, so Daiyu would not say anything else.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Mo Xuan looked anxiously at Daiyu, then at the emperor, and was about to say something, but the emperor smiled and said: "Yu'er is right, there are Japanese pirates in the southeast, and there is the coveted Qianxiang Kingdom , there are barbarians in the northwest waiting for an opportunity, and there are even Siamese in the southwest waiting to fight. Is Yu'er planning to persuade fourth uncle to extort money?"

Daiyu smiled sweetly and asked: "Since the ministers have money to build villages and gardens, why can't they donate money to pacify the Quartet? Why can't they save the old and help the orphans? Why can't they build boats and buy horses?" After Yu finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and plucked the strings, and a soft and soft "Jasmine Flower" was played out.

The emperor didn't ask any more questions, just looked at Daiyu with a smile, then exchanged glances with Huang Jiyun, and they all sat down, drinking tea and listening to music.Mo Xuan stared at Daiyu for a while, then looked at the two emperors, what he wanted to ask, but he didn't ask.After that, no one mentioned the previous words, as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until Mother Tang came to report that the dinner was ready and asked if it was ready, the emperor shook his hand and said: "I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back now." After saying that, he wanted to get up.But Daiyu waved Mother Tang away, looked at the emperor and asked expectantly, "Fourth Uncle, can you build an academy across the country, a library that can be read by all people?"

The emperor stared at Daiyu for a moment, frowned and thought for a long time, then asked, "Is that really good?" Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Didn't the sage say: People can be made, let them do it, and they can't be made to know it. If so, why not let the whole people know about it? In order to make it better?" The emperor looked at Daiyu for a while and smiled, but turned and left without saying anything.

Seeing this, Mo Xuan took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Daiyu and hastily followed.Huang Jiyun naturally followed.Only Daiyu stood motionless in the Qinxin Pavilion.

Daiyu also knew that what she said today was too risky, but she was keeping her filial piety, so she really didn't have much chance to face the emperor like this.Daiyu knew in her heart that even if Huang Jiyun had something to say, she still had reservations.And Daiyu wants to do many things, the first is the navy!What if two years later, or three years later?King Annan was defeated, and Tanchun will be sacrificed as compensation...

Seeing that he was visiting relatives, since his father Lin Ruhai came up with the idea, he should make good use of this opportunity and help his father Lin Ruhai to perfect it!Daiyu understood that Lin Ruhai was just trying to protect her, but she wanted to try...

But at this moment, in fact, Daiyu's mind is in a mess. I don't know where to start. If it is true that one day, like the previous life, universal education can be established, old-age security can be established, and a powerful navy can be established... Is there any Eight-Power Allied Forces... But since there is Francis, then...

Daiyu looked at the two red plum trees beside the pavilion, she didn't know what she was thinking, she didn't know what she would do in the future, wouldn't it be ridiculous to think so much?Does he have the potential to become a saint?Are you worried about the country and the people here at this moment?Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help laughing bitterly.

The four carriages of the emperor and his party stopped not far from the gate of the village.The emperor lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the fruit trees on both sides of the road, which were much denser than before.That year, a little girl told him that she wanted to apply to the imperial court to set up a women's academy, and then this girl really let the girls go to school, and now it seems that the results are not bad...

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Huang Jiyun didn't make a sound to disturb him, and just sat quietly by the side to accompany him.Mo Xuan also rode his horse and stood outside the car window, ready for orders at any time.No one expected that the emperor would suddenly shake his head and laugh, "That girl's request is too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it!"

Huang Jiyun naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's words, so he just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yu'er asked me when she was five years old, what is the meaning of 'the people can make them know what they can't make them know'? I explained to her, and she brought up the question Four different interpretation methods come out, and then ask me, what is the correct solution..."

The emperor smiled and said: "It seems that she has found the correct solution by herself." Huang Jiyun shook his head and said: "She once said that this sentence was applied to the diplomatic envoys of the two countries. But it can also be used as a criterion to educate the people."

The emperor asked again: "I don't know what kind of weird remarks that girl has?" Huang Jiyun smiled and said: "If the people are law-abiding and kind, don't restrain them too much. If the people are ignorant and violent, they should be punished and taught to make them know their mistakes. But Before that, the common people should first know what is the criterion of good and evil, right and wrong, so she suggested that all people study the law."

Mo Xuan was outside the car window, so the conversation between the emperor and Huang Jiyun was naturally heard clearly. Hearing this, I couldn't help but jump in my heart, what a bold girl!Unexpectedly, the emperor nodded and said: "Maybe she is right, but unfortunately..." At this point, the emperor only sighed softly.
