Although the old emperor passed away, Yan Qi had already expected it.
However, when this moment comes, it is still extremely painful.
Looking back on the old emperor's life, it was an extremely painful life.
He is a true loner.
Although he is wise and powerful, he is full of wisdom.
However, he met the insidious and cunning villain Eight Kings.
This is called a copper head meeting an iron neck.
A talented person should obviously be very happy, but he happens to meet another villain who is very talented and more sinister than you and goes against you.
This is a very excruciating pain.
Ordinary people cannot feel this kind of pain at all.
Therefore, it was quite painful for the old emperor to meet the Eight Kings.
She lost her son, she was poisoned, and when she got sick, she was no longer able to have children.
Power was once emptied out.
In the eyes of the ministers, there were only eight kings and no emperor.
Moreover, the sinister Eight Kings had an excellent reputation and popularity.
If Yan Qi hadn't been born out of nowhere, being driven out of power and killed by the Eight Kings would have been the old emperor's only fate.
Same reason.
The Eighth Prince, a very talented and insidious guy, had a clear chance of winning against the old emperor.
However, the Eighth Prince happened to meet Yan Qi, a young servant who was more talented and evil than him.
It’s also a case of brass head meets iron neck.
Head-to-head.
The Eight Kings were defeated miserably.
A complete failure.
committed suicide.
In other words, it doesn't matter whether you are strong or not, what matters is how strong your opponent is.
If the old emperor is a wolf, then the Eight Kings are a tiger.
And what about Yan Qi?
Sorry, I'm a hunter.
But no matter what.
After all, the fate of the old emperor was better than that of the eight kings.
The old emperor faced difficulties first and then things became easy.
Before he died, he enjoyed the late blessing.
A worthy death.
And what about the Eight Kings?
Easy first and then difficult.
His early years were full of glory.
When I got old, I met Yan Qi.
His later years were miserable and a complete failure.
I will never die with my eyes in peace.
Yan Qi was thinking about it and suddenly remembered a sentence: For a flying plane, no matter how high you fly, the most important thing is to land safely.
The Eight Kings were a typical example of flying fast, but did not land safely, and fell directly to their faces on the ground, falling to their death.
Yan Qi was filled with emotions.
…
National mourning!
The old emperor passed away and a national funeral was held.
According to Yan Qi's wishes, despite the national mourning, everything should be kept simple.
For example, all people should wear filial piety, all people should not engage in production, no noise, no taverns, no travel, etc.
Yan Qi will abolish all these useless red tapes.
These useless rules will only make the people scold the old emperor in their hearts. What positive feedback can there be?
Not only will it affect the economy and lives of the people, but it will also accumulate resentment against the royal family.
Thankless effort.
Yan Qi eliminated all these red tapes and handed them over directly to Zhao Qing.
When Zhao Qing saw Yan Qi canceling these red tapes, his eyes lit up and he admired Yan Qi extremely: "Master Yan is indeed wise and powerful. I have long wanted to cancel these red tapes that waste people and money, but I dare not say it out. After all, this is contempt for the royal family. A grave sin."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Yan would be so courageous and cancel it with just one stroke of his pen. I admire him greatly."
Yan Qidao: "Dahua needs to be domineering externally and reform internally. Without reform, progress cannot be made. And reform begins with these red tapes."
"Brother Zhao, you are the Minister of Rites. You must not follow the rules and stick to the rules. Taking advantage of this national mourning and the opportunity to streamline etiquette, you have to conduct a large-scale operation on benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust and other aspects. Those who have died for hundreds of years Rules, dead dogma, conformity, things that restrain human nature, I will get rid of them and throw them into the garbage heap of history."
"yes!"
Zhao Qing had a look of surprise on his face: "I have long wanted to take action against the bloated etiquette and codes in the Renyi, Li, Zhixin, but no one supported me. Today, I have the support of Lord Yan, and I am so happy. However, I am worried that something will happen. thing."
Yan Qi asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Qing said: "Will the little emperor agree?"
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "I will teach my little brother, he and I have the same template, how can he disagree?"
Zhao Qing was overjoyed: "Okay, I'm relieved, Mr. Yan, I'll do it right now."
Zhao Qing happily got rid of the old custom.
…
According to the ancestral system, the country mourns for one year.
Yan Qi directly changed it to January.
during this month.
The young emperor must observe filial piety in front of the old emperor's mausoleum.
The political affairs of the imperial court were handed over to Yan Qi.
Yan Qi doesn't like to meddle in other people's business either.
That's right, in Yan Qi's view, these court affairs are just idle business.
Because these things are not big.
In Yan Qi's eyes, things that are not important to God are just trivial matters.
Yan Qi promoted Zhao Qing to deputy prime minister.
Vice Prime Minister Zhao Qing, Vice Prime Minister Tong Jian, and An Sihai, the censor of Zuodu, temporarily left the political affairs to the three of them.
An Sihai is from the older generation.
Tong Jian and Zhao Qing are middle-aged and young people.
The trio, covering the old, middle and young, is an invincible existence.
…
Yan Qi was busy writing a book, printed it out, and came here to guard the mausoleum for the old emperor.
Sangun asked Yan Qi: "Brother, don't you deal with political affairs?"
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "My top priority now is to teach you how to be a qualified emperor. I can leave other trivial matters to An Sihai."
Sangu said: "But, I am keeping vigil for Grandpa Huang. I have to be focused on nothing. Where can I have time to study? I want to be sincere to Grandpa Huang and make Grandpa Huang happy."
Yan Qidao: "It's a good saying to make the old emperor happy. But have you ever thought about how to make the old emperor happy?"
Sangun said: "I sincerely guard the mausoleum."
"It's too empty."
Yan Qi shook his head: "You kneel here, don't think about food and tea, and the harmony between heaven and man is called sincerity? Is the old emperor happy?"
Sangun tilted his head and asked, "What should we do?"
Yan Qi poked Sangun's forehead: "The old emperor entrusted the country to you, so he is naturally very concerned about whether you can be a good emperor. Therefore, the old emperor will only be happy if you can be a qualified emperor. Of course, if you want to be the emperor and do an outstanding job, the old emperor will be even happier."
Sangun nodded: "I understand, brother, please teach me how to be a good emperor."
Yan Qi took out the newly printed book.
Three sticks and one look: ""Wang Yangming's Theory of Mind"? Who is Wang Yangming?"
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "A person who is ten thousand times better than me."
"cut!"
Sangu said: "I don't believe it. It's three thousand years above and three thousand years below. You, the eldest brother, are the most powerful. To say that someone is ten thousand times more powerful than eldest brother is nonsense. It's a big lie."
"Haha, you did a good job of flattering me."
Yan Qi had a stinking look on his face: "I am indeed a master that is rare to see in three thousand years, hehe... But, I also read the book "Wang Yangming's Psychology", and I was very inspired."
"Really? Brother, I also want to study hard."
Sangun was obviously particularly interested. He took "Wang Yangming's Theory of Mind" and flipped it over: "Brother, I can't understand it."
"If it's so easy to understand, can it still be called mind-learning?"
Yan Qi flicked Sangun's forehead: "Within a month of guarding your grandfather's mausoleum, I will teach you "Wang Yangming's Mind Science". You must concentrate on learning. If you can't learn it, I will spank your butt and scratch the soles of your feet."
"yes!"
Sangun was very excited: "Brother, I want to ask something."
"explain?"
"Does this book "Wang Yangming's Theory of Mind" teach you how to pick up girls?"
"Fuck, has your hair grown all over? I'll give you a headache first."
"Ouch, it hurts."
…
I recommend brothers to read "Wang Yangming's Theory of Mind", you will definitely gain something.
