"The most important thing your Highness should do is to listen more."
One day in the past, in Taishu Pavilion, Han Dongwen was holding a teacup in his hand and heard Wen Yongxing say this.
"listen?"
He picked his ears and looked puzzled.
"Exactly."
Wen Yongxing looked serious: "The king of a country will never say anything funny. That's why you can't speak easily. Instead, you should listen more and speak less, and what you say will definitely come true."
Han Dongwen scratched his head: "But, what I say may not come true. If I say that I want Tantai to regain his military power, will it be true?"
Wen Yongxing smiled: "No, so you must not say that."
You can never say that...
Han Dongwen nodded as if he understood: "There is no need to speak if you are not sure that the order will be fulfilled."
"Exactly."
Wen Yongxing folded the book in his hand and unfolded it to a page: "In ancient times, the most dangerous thing for kings was not being able to hear. The palace walls are deep and the country is vast. If you cannot hear, you are already isolated from the country and the people. This is the lowest possible state."
"On top of that, there are also situations that should be avoided, that is, mishearing, listening less, listening to slander or too one-sided words, and being unable to make truly wise decisions."
He looked at Han Dongwen and said, "What the ministers think, say, and do all have meaning in their words. You must not only listen with your ears, but also with your eyes and with your thinking. Only in this way can you hear more clearly." Really."
——————
In the Guangyang Palace, at this time.
Han Dongwen sat upright, looking at the situation in the audience, thinking about what Wen Yongxing had taught him.
To listen.
What did Tantai Fu say?
Li Zai was derelict in his duties and his body was left bare, so Han Dongwen was asked to convict him.
He himself was also at fault for his poor supervision and asked Han Dongwen to convict him.
How should we listen to this sentence?
Han Dongwen turned his head and sat on the dragon chair, but he could only see Wen Yongxing's back.
He felt his temples were beating and his palms were about to break out into sweat.
The first point that can be understood is that Tantai blamed Li Zai's lack of "Bronze Bird Seal" on Li Zai's dereliction of duty and exonerated himself.
So, what should I say?
Shameless Tantai old man, using such words to confuse right and wrong, I will demote you to the rank of lieutenant, and tie the bronze bird seal to you!
…
There is no need to ask for orders that cannot be fulfilled.
Following Tan Taifu's words, are you really going to dismiss Li Zai and take this opportunity to arrange for a trustworthy person to serve as a lieutenant?
But the second biggest problem facing Han Dongwen right now is that he has no one under his command.
He also wanted to have my destiny determined by my will, and he also wanted his fist to be big enough to form an army by himself, but it was obvious that it would take too long for him to become strong. Whether it was the launch of the server, West Asia, or the Tantai restoration in front of him, it was imminent.
Although Han Dongwen can at least trust Xiao Hongdou, Wen Yongxing and Zhong Lilin now compared to the beginning, it is really difficult for one palace maid and two nominal Taisuge civil servants to play a huge role.
"The Bronze Bird Seal is indeed beyond everyone's expectations."
After being silent for a long time, Han Dongwen slowly spoke: "The original intention of this seal is to relieve me of the worry of being harmed by his cronies. As a lieutenant, Li Zai failed to perform his duties to receive the seal and should be punished."
He glanced at Li Zai and saw that he was unable to move, kneeling on his knees with his head hanging down. He was only wearing a white singlet, but it was already stained black and red with blood.
Han Dongwen's heart suddenly moved, and he noticed something different from the TV series he usually watched.
In TV dramas, it is often the monarch who discovers a traitor and then shouts, "Come on, drag him down!"
Then when the traitor appeared again, he was bruised and dying, or he simply left the scene.
What's missing in the middle?
What Wen Yongxing said in the past echoed again: "You must not only listen with your ears, but also listen with your eyes and listen with your thinking. Only in this way can you hear more truly."
Listen with your eyes...
Han Dongwen looked away from Li Zai, looked around, and finally discovered something strange.
He himself has never expressed any concern about the Bronze Bird Seal!
He never said how to deal with the matter. He just asked Zhong Lilin to urge Li Zai to receive the seal and brushed the matter off as an oversight.
In other words, Li Zai's current situation was the punishment of Tantai Fu. It was Tantai Fu's fault for overstepping his position as the emperor.
His real intention in bringing Li Zai here was to convey a message to Han Dongwen and everyone - someone from the National Military Department had committed a crime, and his commander-in-chief, Tantai Fu, would be in charge!
So, if Han Dongwen dares to resist the message he wants to convey, Tantai Fu will immediately be able to detect that Han Dongwen has a plot and is no longer under control!
"Li Zai deserves to be punished. The National Soldiers Department has strict military discipline and acts vigorously and resolutely. He did the right thing."
Han Dongwen straightened his body and tried to look directly at Tantai Fu: "What kind of punishment was imposed by the military commander?"
"Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief has issued a military order to impose a piercing punishment of thunder and lightning. In addition, he should be dismissed from his post and demoted to a commoner. He will not be allowed to join the army for the next three generations. Please make your decision!"
Tantai Fu's voice was loud and confident.
"What a fine punishment!"
Han Dongwen slapped his thigh and his style suddenly changed: "Li Zai, Li Zai, you are my bodyguard, but you are fishing in troubled waters like this. If I hadn't gone to West Asia this time, I really wouldn't have discovered you!"
He waved his hand and said loudly: "The current Lieutenant Li Zai has been punished by the bone-piercing thunder, and it is definitely not enough!"
Tantaifu frowned slightly, and his eyes became sharper.
A familiar coolness flowed through Han Dongwen's back. This coolness was exactly the same as the one he felt in the teahouse, and Han Dongwen couldn't help but clench his molars.
It's some sense of perceived hostility.
But is it possible that Tantai will be restored and regicide will be carried out here?
Han Dongwen suppressed his timidity and said: "How can this be possible! You have to be punished! You will be punished with half of your salary for the years since you became a captain, plus half of the salary for the following year, which will be paid to Taishu Pavilion within ten days to offset your salary. Use the money to build my collapsed Yihong Tower!"
After saying that, he retracted to the dragon chair with an angry look on his face. He no longer sat upright as before. He sat in a crooked posture and kept pulling the skirt of the dragon robe with one hand to fan the wind: "Really, give me one or two of them." Adding to the chaos! What about the rain and drought in shrimps? Do you want to report this kind of thing? I think the last two sentences are the most important in today's court!"
The coolness that felt like the tip of a knife against Han Dongwen disappeared.
He pretended to fan himself, feeling relieved, and glanced at Tantai Fu casually.
Han Dongwen was right. The hostility meant that Tantai Fu did not want him to touch Li Zai.
The people in the National Military Department can only be moved by the Chief Military Officer. This is the second meaning he wants to convey here today - to give a shot in the arm to all those who are wavering in the National Military Department.
"General Secretary Tantai!"
Han Dongwen waved carelessly: "The Tantai General Secretary has strict rewards and punishments, and handles the matter in a timely manner. He has done a good job of sharing my worries. The merits and demerits are balanced. Please urge Li Zai to receive the seal as soon as possible."
Tantaifu lowered his head slightly, looked at Han Dongwen's expression thoughtfully, and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Zai, who was silent, was led down, and all the officials stood under the hall again. Han Dongwen looked around and said, "When else will the performance start? If you have something to do, do it early, and if you don't have anything to do, leave the court!"
"Your Highness, I have one more thing to report."
A childish voice sounded. Han Dongwen was already very familiar with this voice. He turned around and found the child in the hall.
"Liu Cheng, what's the matter with you?"
"The implementation of civil and commercial tax exemption with West Asia has not yet been decided, and I leave it to Your Highness to make a decision."
