Chapter 1893: Sitting in town
Chen Rong expressed her biggest concern with a serious look.
Ye Chunqiu said it very well, and it can even be said that this plan is not only feasible, but also very perfect.
As long as things are done, everything will be easy to say, but there is one of the biggest problems inside. Can things be done? If they cannot be done, the consequences...
When Taizu started, he implemented the eight-legged essay selection. Now he wanted to change the previous eight-legged essay selection selection. This is definitely an unprecedented thing, and even... the turmoil and consequences that will arise will never be small. As long as there is any fault, a storm will come. Those who have gained great benefits from the eight-legged essay selection system in the past will never give up.
Chen Rong continued, "So I think that since we want to change, someone must take charge. This matter is too important and there will be no mistake at all. Those who are dissatisfied dare not act rashly. Now it is not boiling frogs in warm water, but cutting people's flesh."
The new policy has been rebelled so far. Who can guarantee what consequences will be caused once the news is announced?
"So..." Ye Chunqiu smiled when he heard Chen Rong's words, "So Your Majesty is a smart person."
"Ah..." Chen Rong could not have thought that Ye Chunqiu would suddenly mention His Majesty and said with confusion: "What does this have to do with His Majesty?"
"You don't think about it. If Your Majesty believes that reforming the eight-legged essay system can solve the problem and listen to your opinions, as for how to change it, even if you want to ask me, you can solve it with just a few letters. Wouldn't it be better to send a charter to the pass? Why did Your Majesty ask you two to come here to consult my opinion in one go?"
Chen Rong was stunned at this moment. It would be fine if Ye Chunqiu didn't say it. After saying this, he also felt that things were a bit strange.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu didn't keep it in a silence and then said, "Although Your Majesty is young, he has long learned the way of governing the country and is extremely smart. This time, Your Majesty sent you here, in addition to discussing the reform of the eight-legged essay, he had long thought that this drastic reform would most likely cause serious consequences, and he had long thought that someone in the capital must be in charge. He knew your relationship with me, so it was called consultation, but in fact he hoped that you and the two of you could persuade me to go back to the capital."
Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "Your Majesty has indeed grown up and his thoughts have become more comprehensive. He knew in his heart that if he issued an order to come outside the pass, if I refuse to avoid suspicion, this would put the court in an embarrassing situation, so he asked you to come. In this way, there would be room for change. If I am willing to enter the pass, then everyone will be happy. But if I refuse, the court will finally retain decentness, so that the people in the world will think that Your Majesty has no choice but to question Your Majesty's prestige."
"He has become much more slick in his work." Ye Chunqiu smiled slightly.
Chen Rong couldn't help laughing at this time. He suddenly realized that he seemed not suitable for being an official or a political career. His Majesty was just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, but he had such thoughts. But he always thought that His Majesty really made him and Zhang Jin come here to learn from the scriptures.
At this time, he and Zhang Jin looked at each other, then took a deep breath and said, "Then... Chunqiu, you can take the right words. Everyone is brother, Your Majesty and you, after all, they are kings and ministers, and some words cannot be spoken, but there is no need to make any move between us. Since you know Your Majesty’s intention, are you willing to go to Beijing to take charge?"
Ye Chunqiu showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "If Your Majesty really wants me to enter the capital, whether it is my close relationship with Your Majesty or the duty of the monarch and his ministers, this is all my duty; just to be honest, the dusk energy in this pass is too heavy, and you have seen this Qinglong, and there are many places that cannot go to the capital, but I live freely here. Even if I really let me enter the capital for a while, my original intention is reluctant."
At this moment, Zhang Jin slapped the table and said, "It's not the left, it's not the right, it's just that you talk a lot and have taught so many opportunities in person. Can you give me a correct word? Just say, go, or not."
Ye Chunqiu smiled bitterly on his lips. Zhang Jin was really an art that didn't understand language at all.
But... Ye Chunqiu finally cooperated and said two words: "Well... go!"
Zhang Jin suddenly became cheerful and said, "That's right. If you dare to say no, Chen Rong and I will turn around and leave. Fortunately, you agreed. This is the friend. It is a good idea to keep your friends in love with each other. Come on, since you have said it, you must not regret it. You will buy it and leave. Brother Chen and I will go to study the book and send it to the capital to settle the matter. We will not talk about the eight-legged essay matters now. Anyway, we have already talked about this, it is just a matter of doing it. Now, we have finally gotten together. Let's put aside those worries, drink well, and wake up. What should we do."
Although Zhang Jin is not good at speaking good things, Ye Chunqiu probably just likes his generous and straightforward spirit, so Ye Chunqiu never mentioned anything else. In fact, he knew in his heart that since the new policy has reached the point where he had to cancel the eight-legged essay picking scholars, he would not have been able to hide this time.
A rebellion by King Zhao occurred, and it is imperative to continue reforming now. He also knew very well that if no one was in control, those who had their interests damaged would not cause any turmoil. For both public and private, he should also pay homage to His Majesty.
And... this guy is Zhu Houzhao's son, his adopted son, and this reason alone is enough.
At this time, he suddenly thought of Zhu Houzhao again and looked at the familiar faces of Zhang Jin and Chen Rong, but Zhu Houzhao was still missing. There was no news yet. Except for the navy who found some clues, there was no news.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. If that guy Zhu Houzhao was still alive, he would have been in a mess now. Yang Fan overseas has experienced many hardships.
Calculate the time, it has been nearly a year since then. I am afraid that the supply of Zhu Houzhao's fleet has been gone and lost. This fleet is probably destroyed. Or, they are eating raw food and drinking blood on an isolated island?
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What's the use of just worrying about it? Now, it's no longer something he can change, but I just hope he's still alive.
