Rong Xuan sighed and said: "If you can't break it, you can't stand it. After a long period of peace in the world, corruption will easily breed. We all know these problems, but who dares to discuss countermeasures with the ministers in person?"

Historically, when the interests of the monarch and his ministers are compatible, there are naturally times when their interests are at odds. The monarch and his ministers are not as simple and pure as the books say.

It was him, if the emperor hadn't treated him as before, and he really didn't have too much ambition, he would have changed a long time ago.

How grateful Yan Du was when he was invited out by the emperor. In the first few years, he devoted himself to the emperor and Da Qi, but people change. After two years as the right prime minister, his thoughts became complicated.

Rong Xuan was in this position, and sometimes he was a little tired after seeing a lot.

If it weren't for Qi Haoran, Fan Zijin and Mu Yangling would have been the same for ten years, and he would always think of the difficult days in the Northland from time to time, and I'm afraid it would have changed.

It is too difficult for monarchs and ministers to want to be single-minded. It is better to rely on the law as Ah Ling said. There are laws to follow, so what if the hearts of the people are unreliable?

Qi Xiuyuan didn't know what was going on in Rong Xuan's mind, but he said in a shattered voice: "But she is too direct, can those words be said in court? Now I can only use her woman's opinion, don't count Fool it for reason."

Of course Qi Xiuyuan knew that all the courtiers could not be of one mind with him, since everyone has selfishness, he was guarding against them, and they were naturally guarding against him.

But these discords and defenses can only be carried out in private, how can they be put on the surface?

Have you ever seen someone openly propose that the main purpose of innovation is to weaken the power of the king or prevent official corruption and rebellion?

They are all holding the banner of being good for the country and the people, and some words cannot be said, but Qi Xiuyuan always feels that Mu Yangling did it on purpose this time, deliberately saying such things in front of the palace, and in the palace to expose the layer of skin that covers the monarch and his ministers. open.

Qi Xiuyuan looked at Rong Xuan.

Rong Xuan and Qi Xiuyuan have known each other for more than 20 years, and they can understand each other's thoughts with just one look. He nodded slightly and said: "I also think that Ah Ling did it on purpose."

"Why?" Qi Xiuyuan trembled the beard on his mouth, and asked angrily, "Just to cause trouble for me?"

"It should be more than that," Rong Xuan said with a chuckle, "I think her main purpose is to make us avoid the inevitable and bring up the topic. Can we still turn a blind eye like before? What's more, the reform of official positions she proposed is not They are all contrary to the interests of officials, such as Yushitai, and administrative transfers, these two points will surely win the support of many people, and it will be much easier to do other reforms if these two points are achieved.”

Rong Xuan paused and said again: "As for the methods she proposes to prevent tyrants and foolish emperors, I think she is mainly to silence the officials."

She even said it was so easy to change the emperor, but it was just changing the official system, so why would she not dare?

Qi Xiuyuan snorted and said, "But I just think she really thinks so, otherwise who would come up with such a bold idea?"

Rong Xuan chuckled lightly, "Kechen thinks this idea is really good."

Qi Xiu went to stare at him, Rong Xuan continued: "Your Majesty, as she and the crown prince said, if there is a palace change, the Qi family will suffer the most damage, but if it is not a palace change, then it will be a change of dynasty."

Qi Xiuyuan fell silent as he thought about the lifespans of Da Tang and Da Zhou recently.

Qi Xiuyuan was debating whether to adopt Mu Yangling's idea, but Mu Yangling, who led the two children out of the palace, was very happy.

She touched a child's head with one hand and said: "In the future, if anyone dares to bully you like this again, tell me, and I will block you back."

Little Xiong was helpless, "Mom, how do you say that you are playing house like a child? We are discussing political affairs, and conflicts are inevitable."

"That's not a personal attack. I heard from the servant that those ministers pointed at your nose and called you an idiot." Mu Yangling snorted coldly, "How can my son look like an idiot? Obviously they are idiots." What's wrong with you being like your father? If your father is an idiot, can he be a prince?"

Little Xiong immediately pouted, "Are you fighting for me or for my father?"

Xiao Bao on the side laughed lightly and asked Mu Yangling, "Fourth Aunt, didn't you say that you should do things slowly? Why did you mention so much at once? What if the courtiers are eager for quick success?"

The failure of innovation has always been due to the eagerness for quick success and instant benefit.

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "I can mention some things, but you can't. They will be eager for quick success? They will just move forward slowly. Let them argue about whether these things can be done."

Seeing that Xiaobao frowned and still didn't quite understand, she touched his head and sighed: "I'm a woman, and in their eyes, the things I raised so many stories about the Arabian Nights are women's opinions. They will only sneer, but when you mention it to Xiao Xiong, they will be wary, because no matter how young you are, you are still men, not to mention that one of you is the current prince and the other is the son of Prince Rong, just these two things make them very wary .”

Mu Yangling looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and continued to whisper: "What's more, I also proposed the method of changing the tyrant. This one is even more daring. They will only think that I am telling a fairy tale, and tell me that the Jade Emperor in the sky will be replaced." Human beings are just as ethereal and helpless, just because I am a woman, they subconsciously underestimate me."

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong sensed her faint sadness, and they immediately stepped forward and said: "Mother (fourth aunt), we will definitely improve the status of women in the future, and we will never let the world look down on you."

Mu Yangling pursed his lips and smiled, touched their heads and said with a smile: "I remember what you said."

The two children nodded firmly with twinkling eyes.

Qi Xiuyuan, who was in the palace at this time, didn't know that Mu Yangling was abducting his son further and further away. It wasn't until Xiaobao came out with a series of policies after he became emperor that Qi Xiuyuan blew his beard and stared at Mu Yangling, thinking that he would be taken away. It was a big mistake to entrust the son to Mu Yangling to teach.

At this time, although Qi Xiuyuan didn't have this awareness, he almost blew his beard and stared at him, and then he sent away the people from Yushitai and the minister from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs. .

Obviously they came here for Mu Yangling's speech today, even the clan's side.

Qi Xiuyuan's clan uncle came running to see him in good spirits, apparently Mu Yangling's words had already been spread.

Qi Xiuyuan suddenly had a headache, looked at Rong Xuan, and then looked at the food in front of him, immediately turned his grief and anger into strength, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate, while ordering: "Let them go down for lunch first, and then pass the signs one by one. "

He knew that there was a tough battle ahead, so he worked hard to fill his stomach full.

Rong Xuan looked at the bowl in his hand for a while, wondering if it was too late for him to leave now.

Qi Xiuyuan obviously didn't want to let people go, and sighed with Rong Xuan: "Now you are the only one around me who can help. If only Zijin was in the capital, he is very eloquent, and one person can be an envoy for ten people."

Rong Xuan immediately said: "Why don't you ask the Minister of the Household Department to send another official to replace him? It would be overkill for Zijin to go and count the stolen goods. If the Holy Majesty is worried about someone being corrupted, why not send a censor from the Yushitai to go with them? If Yushitai wants to reform, it will definitely do its best this time."

If Zijin came back to share the firepower with him, his burden would be much lighter.

Qi Xiuyuan also lowered his head to think about the feasibility of this matter.
