Chapter 1360: Weathervane
Ye Chenliang couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He had been waiting for Ye Chunqiu to come back here to report this matter to Ye Chunqiu, but he never expected that Ye Chunqiu, who had just sent the honor to the attendant room and was still hunting in Jingshan, had already known about it.
Ye Chenliang nodded quickly to Ye Chunqiu.
Ye Chunqiu showed an indifferent look and said, "It seems that the Yang family is going crazy to be happy. This is obviously a weather vane for them, haha..."
Ye Chenliang looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply. Although he felt a strange feeling that he couldn't say when listening to Ye Chunqiu's words, he still said, "It's probably true. I was in the Attendant Room, one of the Hanlins who had a close relationship with the Yang family couldn't hide his joy on his face. Master, I think something might happen..."
Ye Chunqiu waved his hand, but said uneasy: "The sky can't fall, you can go and rest earlier."
As he said that, Ye Chunqiu walked into the mansion. Instead of rushing back to rest immediately, he went to worship Mrs. Ye first. Mrs. Ye has suffered from some cold weather these days and has hired an imperial doctor to see him. Although the condition is not serious, Ye Chunqiu is also quite worried.
Then Ye Chunqiu went to study in the study, who knew that Tang Bohu had long been here?
Tang Bohu is already Ye Chunqiu's friend and has the right to go to and from the study room. Sometimes he will write some official documents or reply to letters on behalf of Ye Chunqiu. His responsibilities are equivalent to the eunuch in the palace, which does not seem important, but in fact, Ye Chunqiu is now in a big family and has a great career, so it is impossible for him to do everything himself, so most of the arrangements are taken care of by him as his "secretary".
When he saw Ye Chunqiu coming, Tang Bohu stood up and said, "Master, your third uncle has written to you."
Ye Chunqiu raised his eyebrows and said with doubts: "Hmm? What's going on at home?"
Tang Bohu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What the hell is said is that some suspicious people from the capital have arrived in Ningbo and are exploring the old things about the Spring and Autumn Period. The Ye family has sent people to keep an eye on them."
"Didn't say what they were looking for? I just thought it was strange, unlike the people in the palace..."
Hearing this, Ye Chunqiu's face suddenly became a little calmer, and then said, "It seems that someone wants to pick the bones in the eggs."
Tang Bohu glanced at Ye Chunqiu. He knew some of Ye Chunqiu's affairs and couldn't help but say: "This court discussion is about to begin. The prince has made great contributions in the desert. I'm afraid that some people will be jealous. It seems that some people want to take the opportunity to slander the prince's reputation. These people are really ridiculous. I really think that just by finding a little stain, I can..."
Before Tang Bohu finished speaking, Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "It's not entirely true. This is the case with the court. What is the same in private in the court's civil and military affairs, but on the official side, everyone is a loyal minister and a clean and honest official. On the official side, court officials are people who are not as good as the world's fireworks. They have noble status and are clean and honest, so there may be some stains, and some may even be even more shameless. But as long as they are not placed on the table, everyone will pretend to be deaf and dumb. However, once the stain is placed on the table, it is even just a small matter, and it may become the target of public criticism."
After pausing, Ye Chunqiu said lightly: "Some people mostly want to use this little stain to attack, which is nothing more than just letting people see my jokes. On the other hand, think about it, what would happen to those civil and military officials if someone reported that I was not close to my elders?"
Tang Bohu was silent, and he suddenly understood what Ye Chunqiu meant.
Ye Chunqiu smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple. If someone is willing to speak for me at this time, he will inevitably be suspected of moral corruption. Using morality to attack a person is the most sinister, because no one can tell whether the virtue is good or bad. He is not like killing people. Killing people and theft, which emphasizes both personal evidence and physical evidence and stolen people, but morality is ambiguous, making you indisputable."
Tang Bohu did not understand Ye Chunqiu more about the rules in the officialdom. After hearing Ye Chunqiu's words, he couldn't help but say angrily: "These people are really ridiculous."
"It's not ridiculous at all." Ye Chunqiu seemed plain: "Where there are people, there will be fame and fortune. There are only so many fame and fortune, so someone has to fight for it. This is called unsatisfactory desire. I have reached this point today. I don't know how many people have blocked the road to fame and fortune. Naturally, they are jealous."
Ye Chunqiu moved the topic away lightly, looked at Tang Bohu and said, "Brother Bohu, what's wrong with you and Qiuxiang?"
Tang Bohu suddenly felt embarrassed and blushed, "Master, we are talking about serious things, why are you... cough cough... Qiuxiang...she, I...I thought about it for a while..."
"The spring will begin next year, and I will dismiss Qiuxiang's slave family. By then, whether you are a formal marriage or whatever, it has nothing to do with me." Ye Chunqiu did not make fun of him, but said seriously: "But if you get married, Brother Bohu will inevitably increase the pressure a lot. You have to increase your strength in the future."
After Ye Chunqiu said that, he cheered up and asked Tang Bohu to take the pen and ink, and personally replied a letter to his third uncle. Then he put the pen down and kept Tang Bohu in the study to organize official documents and letters. He went back to accompany Wang Jingchu and tease Ye Xiaohai.
Xiaohai is only three years old now and can walk. Unfortunately, in this winter, the child is wrapped tightly in a thick cotton coat and tiger-head hat. He is tired after walking a few steps and always likes to sit. When Ye Chunqiu stares at him, he stares at Ye Chunqiu with his big black eyes. After staring at him, he seems to have lost interest in this father, so he plays his own rattle on his own.
It seems... I'm not very close to my father.
Ye Chunqiu laughed and chatted with Wang Jingchu for a few words, then ordered his mother to take good care of Gu Xiaohai, and then walked outdoor again.
The snow-white world outside is covered with silver and heavy snow is flying. The snow-filled flying in the air is twisted and finally accumulated on the eaves and treetops.
Ye Chunqiu stared at the snow scene and suddenly became a little childlike innocence. He wanted to build a snowman. After walking two steps, he saw several maids wrapping their clothes along the corridor. When they saw Ye Chunqiu, they looked at Ye Chunqiu in awe.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help laughing, and then he had the childish thought in his heart. As before, he had a stern face, just like any male owner in a deep courtyard, with a hint of uprightness and solemnity on his face, and a somewhat subtle but unwilling smile on his face. He nodded at them, and then walked towards another end of the corridor.
