On this day, Qi Yuxiumu was entertaining at home.
To be precise, it should be said that I was playing in the mud with my son.
That is: falling into a dent.
Bang!
"Dad, it rang...hehe." Qi Xiao finally made one, very happy.
Immediately afterwards, there was another crack!
"The one you fell wasn't that bad at all, but I was the one who screamed loudly!"
Xiaotong fell hard and suppressed his younger brother, with pride on his face.
When Qi Xiao saw that he was being compared with his sister, the corners of his mouth began to flatten, and finally he opened his mouth wide: "Wow..."
Liu Quan heard her son's cry and rushed over to comfort her. After giving her daughter an angry look, she muttered: You have grown so big, why are you still ignorant? I have to compete with the younger ones! look! Make him cry...
Qi Yu quickly protected his daughter and tried to smooth things over, fearing that his wife would have another fight with her husband and goddaughter.
…
After coaxing the children, Qi Yu helped his wife dry the clothes.
Liu Quan said: "Just now, a government servant sent me a message saying that Mr. Yu will treat you to a drink tonight. I hope you won't be late."
"Master Yu..."
Qi Yu thought about it for a moment and then remembered that he hadn't had any contact with Yu Hai for more than half a year.
Time flies, and it’s easy to fall apart without contact for too long. Well, it’s time to deepen our relationship.
Since it's a dinner party, you don't have to go too early.
When the sun turned to the west, Qi Yu started to leave. Liu Quan also prepared several appropriate gifts in advance for his husband to take with him.
It’s not a good look to go in empty-handed.
After arriving at Yu Hai's official residence, Qi Yu first threw his name into the palace, and then entered through the report.
I thought Master Yu was a guest at a grand banquet, and the banquet must be full of guests and friends, but unexpectedly there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
this……
Qi Yu was startled: Just invite me alone?
Yu Hai squinted his eyes and smiled, as if to say: Are you proud enough?
All right.
The two of them first exchanged greetings, then gave way to the third one, and finally took their seats.
Of course, Qi Yu took the initiative and sat down at the bottom.
After that, Yu Hai drank away the two people, and in this way, it became a real so-called world of two.
"How is Shaocheng getting along in the government school?"
"It's great that I'm thinking of you, sir!"
"Yeah!" Yu Hai smiled faintly and said, "Since life is so comfortable, has Shaocheng ever thought about coaching for a long time and ending his life?"
Qi Yu shook his head and said seriously: "Although I have been elected, I am still far from true success and fame. Now that my ambition has not been realized, how can I not strive for progress?"
Yu Hai smiled happily and said: "Well, your will is like a rock, unwavering, yes, yes!" Then he tried again: "Shaocheng, if you go to take part in the examination, how sure are you that you can pass it?"
The general examination is an examination for people to advance to the rank of Gongshi.
Qi Yu thought for a while and sighed: "Who can say accurately about the imperial examination? Who dares to say with certainty?" However, he changed his tone and added: "In the past year or so, I have Study hard and study hard, and my knowledge will grow day by day, and I will be more knowledgeable than before."
It still sounds quite confident.
It's just expressed more euphemistically.
Yu Hai held the wine glass and said meaningfully: "If the course starts next year, do you want to participate?"
Will the course start next year?
Qi Yu's heart trembled and he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.
is this real?
You should know that except for the children's examination, the provincial examination and above are all subject every three years. This is common sense.
Last year, when the new emperor ascended the throne, Enke was added. If calculated at this point in time, the year after next would be the imperial examination year. How could it be next year?
Seeing his confusion, Yu Hai clarified his doubts and said, "It's Enke!"
Qi Yu was startled and asked: "Enke... what is this?"
Although it is the privilege of the emperor to open an enke, it also requires a reason.
That is: why grace?
Yu Hai didn't hold back and said directly: "Next year will be the Seventh Thousand Autumn Festival of the Empress Dowager. In order to show the filial piety of human relations, my emperor has specially ordered the Ministry of Rites to open up engravings. In a few days, the notice will be posted. "
It was actually because of the Empress Dowager’s Qianqiu Festival.
Using this as a reason to open Enke barely makes sense.
Yu Hai smiled and said: "Actually, the so-called filial piety is just a cover for the world to see. The real situation is that our emperor lacks talents and wants to select talents through the imperial examination."
Qi Yu was very puzzled and asked: "How can you see it?"
Yu Hai did not answer this directly, but started to talk about it from other aspects: "Shaocheng, do you know why our emperor is determined to fight against the Japanese, but he has not taken any action against the Emperor Worship Cult?"
I have indeed been confused about this issue for a long time.
At present, it is just a simple verbal attack, but there is no practical way to send troops to clear up the enemy. It is indeed strange.
Qi Yu shook his head and sighed, "Could it be that my emperor has some concerns?"
Yu Hai praised: "Shaocheng is really a smart man, he guesses right! In fact, my emperor still wants to use troops, but the resistance he encounters is too great, so he has not taken action yet."
"What resistance? Is it because of King Yan?" Qi Yu asked curiously.
Yu Hai shook his head and said, "No. This resistance comes from within the court, not from the external vassals."
"internal?"
Could it be that someone in this court is playing a different tune to the emperor?
Aren't ministers supposed to share your worries?
Why is there still resistance set up?
Really puzzling.
"Please give me some advice, sir." Qi Yu asked humbly.
Yu Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... you can just listen to these things. Remember not to spread them indiscriminately, lest disaster comes from your mouth."
"Don't worry, sir."
"Since ancient times, whether they are civil servants or military generals, while serving the country, they will also try their best to take self-protection measures to avoid ending up in a situation where the birds are gone and the dogs are eaten. Ministers may have political disagreements. , but the attitude on this point is highly unified! No matter under any circumstances, the emperor cannot wield the butcher's knife against his ministers who have made great achievements, and kill the donkey! Once this situation occurs, all civil and military officials will work together Remonstrate, ask the Holy One to take back the order..."
Yes, I understand.
In the hearts of those high-ranking officials, their own interests are higher than those of the emperor.
Killing heroes is something they will never tolerate.
Think about it, I am killing you today, and maybe it will be my turn tomorrow. If I can, I won’t do this.
Remonstrance is a must!
Yu Hai added: "Let's talk about King Yan. He not only pacified the foreign tribes in the north, but also saved Emperor Taizong from danger several times, and his achievements were universal. The late emperor respected him very much when he was there, but now the emperor wants to praise him. When you pick up the butcher's knife, what will the civil and military officials think? They know that King Yan has evil intentions, but they still cannot support the emperor's decision."
"Um……"
"Furthermore, King Yan's actions are currently only to protect the Emperor Worship Cult, and have not launched an armed rebellion. His posture is still stable. If he directly sends troops to conquer like this, what will be the name of the army? I heard that the emperor and ministers have already I’m so embarrassed about this.”
I understand, the emperor really wanted to teach Huo Huo how to worship the emperor, but the ministers did not support it. The reason was that they could not use force against the highly accomplished King Yan.
Is it wrong for ministers to do this?
It's not necessarily wrong, they are just thinking about their own future.
But in this case, the emperor was embarrassed.
Qi Yu sighed sadly: "I didn't expect that the Emperor would also be in trouble..."
Yu Hai also said: "How can it be so easy to be the king of a country? The reason why these civil and military officials dare to put pressure on the emperor is nothing more than their status as elders of the three dynasties. Therefore, for the emperor, it is important to cultivate his own The power is imminent...lack of talent? That doesn't matter, just Kai Enke!"
oh……
Understand, this is Kai Enke’s real motive. As for the Empress Dowager’s Thousand Autumn Festival, it is indeed just a cover.
Enke has a large admissions rate, which is a rare and good opportunity.
Naturally, I have to take the test...
