The three ministers crowded into a carriage returning to Liubu Yamen, and it was surprisingly quiet.
Looking at Di Yan who was looking down and speechless, Dai Guang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Di Ge, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Guo Ziyi also looked at Di Yan opposite.
Di Yan raised his head in a daze, and then the two of them realized that his eyes were already filled with bloodshot eyes.
"Three years of achievement, eternal foundation."
Di Yan murmured and repeated, but smiled bitterly.
Dai Guang and Guo Ziyi also understood where Xia Yuanji's heart was, but they were speechless for a moment.
There was no other reason. His Highness the Crown Prince's words when he was the prisoner not only made Di Yan lose heart, but also made them feel deeply shocked and touched in their hearts.
Yes, why have I and others tried their best to assist His Highness the Crown Prince in the past few years? Isn't it because they saw His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom and martial arts and wanted to assist him, to turn the world upside down, and to build a prosperous age?
Starting from the 20th year of Zhenyuan, with the decadence of the imperial court over the years, the lower-level officials also collapsed, and the lives of the common people became more and more miserable, but what were they doing!
Just because a treacherous prime minister brought trouble to the court, and because of his overwhelming power, he avoided him. He resigned one by one, and protected himself wisely, cautiously, and even planned to flatter him in the future.
It was not until His Highness the Crown Prince came to power that they were reused one by one.
But here it is.
But he found that he couldn't keep up with the pace of His Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to build an unprecedented prosperous age and be the leader in establishing a prosperous age.
Now there is a broad avenue.
The finishing touch.
But they backed down.
Di Yan suddenly felt very sad. After all, people like him were still deeply influenced by Confucianism and were too stuck in the rules. Even though they seemed to be doing their best, they were actually holding them back.
"hehe!"
A self-deprecating sneer suddenly sounded.
Hearing this sound, Dai Guang and Guo Ziyi both looked at Xia Yuanji.
Di Yan's face was pale, his mouth had a sarcastic curve, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.
"I don't know what you think."
"But Di just thinks so."
"Over the years, my position has become higher and higher, but I seem to have forgotten my original purpose of entering the official career."
"I can hardly keep up with His Highness."
After Di Yan said these words in an understatement, he turned to look out the window of the Qingman carriage, his eyes filled with sadness and confusion.
Seeing Di Yan like this, Dai Guang and Guo Ziyi suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Why don't they?
My official career has gone too far, and I have climbed to the top with great difficulty. Looking back, I can’t see where I came from.
Not to mention the hopeful self at the foot of the mountain.
"I think back then, when the treacherous traitor harmed the country, Di, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, chose to protect himself wisely. He was just reluctant to take off his official uniform, so he always thought that if the Ministry of Personnel lost him, the situation might be even worse."
"If there is one more person like me among the six ministers, there will be one less person who flatters the traitor."
"Actually, I just don't want to give up the position of minister."
"Fortunately, God blessed Da Gan and gave him a wise and mighty Crown Prince."
"Di Mou has met His Highness the Crown Prince before. At that time, he always felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was weak and incompetent and not qualified for the position of Crown Prince."
"It seems ridiculous now."
"If the prince had been wise and powerful from the beginning, I'm afraid he would have been deposed long ago."
"But Di couldn't see this level. He only felt that the traitor was harming the country, that the Crown Prince was incompetent, and that the Daqian Building was about to collapse, but he just lamented to himself."
"But His Highness the Crown Prince is able to keep a low profile and bide his time. Under those conditions, he can secretly read extensively, study hard, and wait for the opportunity."
"Shame on you."
Dai Guang and Guo Ziyi were silent after hearing this.
One of them is the Minister of Household Affairs, and they were originally full of enthusiasm. However, the people in the court are incompetent and sycophants, and the one who holds the power is a treacherous prime minister.
If he doesn't follow the same trend, he will probably be exiled soon.
Originally.
He was already prepared and planned to flatter and give gifts to his boss, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
As a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a sudden move and became the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State. He immediately summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and killed him with a knife.
And he was directly promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue.
From then on, he tried his best to assist His Royal Highness.
Of course, there is also a stake in this. His position as Minister of Household Affairs was promoted by His Highness the Crown Prince, so he is equivalent to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Only when His Highness the Crown Prince is firmly in the position of supervising the country can his position as Minister be secure. Once His Highness the Crown Prince is defeated by the traitor, he will inevitably be implicated.
Therefore, the subjective intention of working hard is still the black gauze hat on the head and the noble official uniform on the body.
As for Guo Ziyi, let alone that.
He led troops to fight and made great achievements in battle. Because of his merits, he was recommended by Yueshan and became Minister of the Ministry of War.
As a result, because he was dissatisfied with Li Linfu's actions, he wrote a letter of impeachment, but the emperor directly dismissed him from office.
Guo Ziyi immediately became discouraged.
Who knows, he might be reused in the end and his official position would be restored.
Naturally, he was grateful in his heart and tried his best to assist His Royal Highness in completing the Northern Expedition.
Now, we are witnessing the arrival of this prosperous age.
There was actually a sense of laziness and a desire to enjoy.
As the saying goes, just think about lying down.
After a long time, Di Yan just straightened up his appearance.
Although Di Yan still looked gentle and gentle on the surface at this time, the occasional flash of resentment and despair in his eyes made people feel sad.
In fact, when they heard Di Yan's whisper just now, the two of them couldn't help but fall silent.
However, the two of them discovered that the emotion between the eyes of Di Yan, who was sitting opposite, suddenly changed.
The whole person looks more stable and restrained.
It's like a mountain.
"Your Highness is right."
"We have been questioning what His Highness has done, but so far, what we have seen is that the barbarians in the north have been pacified, and the hidden dangers of the nobles in the southeast have been suppressed."
"What you see is the prosperity of Daqian, what you see is more and more smiles on the faces of the people, what you see is the surrender of all the barbarians and their fame overseas."
"Establishing new schools, establishing borders, promoting maritime trade, suppressing the gentry, implementing benevolent governance, controlling floods... one after another, which one is not the great cause of the emperor of the ages?"
"And every time, it is to defy all opinions, firm goals, overcome all difficulties, and move forward courageously?"
"Today, we still continue to question, worry, doubt, and shrink..."
"Your Highness, it's still too difficult."
"From now on, Di will be the first to strongly support His Highness's plan, and the officials will definitely fulfill their responsibilities!"
Dai Guang and Guo Ziyi nodded.
"What Di Ge said from the bottom of his heart is also what I think."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in the court now, telling us how to govern the country."
"Some of the words are hard to understand."
"There are some words that sound thought-provoking."
"There are some words that sound shocking."
"But every time I think about it carefully, I feel that it makes some sense."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to change our minds and teach us the true sage books he has read."
“If we don’t change our minds, no matter how good the policy is, it may be difficult to implement it.”
"Because our suspicion, our incomprehension, and our laziness can turn the best national policy into nonsense in the court."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the one who leads the way, but those who really want to walk this road are the civil and military officials above our court, and the more than ten thousand officials in the government and in the field."
"After that, there will be tens of thousands of people."
"If we don't follow His Highness's footsteps, how can all the people follow?"
Guo Ziyi then expressed her feelings.
It also makes sense.
If officials like them don't keep up, the people of Daqian will naturally not be able to keep up.
That is the road to the true prosperous age of Daqian.
His Royal Highness was the only one walking.
However, the prosperous age cannot be achieved by His Royal Highness alone!
Di Yan and Dai Guang also nodded in agreement after hearing this.
If the officials don't leave.
How can people keep up?
That's why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been telling them about the real strategies for governing the country and the many problems that Daqian is facing today.
Then, Di Yan returned to his office room, walked slowly to the desk, reached out and picked up the teacup beside the desk, raised his head and drank the tea he had brewed in the morning.
Putting down the tea cup, Di Yan looked at the rice paper on the table without blinking.
For a long time, Di Yan slowly closed his eyes and frowned. After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind, picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and started writing furiously.
He wants to set a code of conduct for the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and determine whether the officials of the Ministry of Personnel should be ten or not.
