Many people are wondering why Zhou Yan trusts and obeys Han You so much.
Even some people in Prince You's Mansion, except for Ad Zhuo, don't quite understand.
Because they really have never seen Professor Han You or taught anything, except the castrated version of the Three Character Classic.
The role played by Han You is more like an inconspicuous father, allowing Zhou Yan to play, make fun, laugh and be happy all day long at Four Seasons Villa, enjoying the almost missing childhood.
As everyone knows, whenever Han You makes a major decision, he always calls Zhou Yan to let him see, listen, and give opinions.
Over time, the stewards in the villa also developed this habit.
Many things have nothing to do with the court, but have to do with the people.
Zhou Yan didn't understand it at first, because what Han You taught him intentionally or unintentionally had nothing to do with the court, the capital, knowledge, Confucianism, arithmetic, or any knowledge.
Until one day, Zhou Yan thought about it and suddenly found that he understood a person, a person called the common people. He suddenly realized that he seemed to understand the common people very well, better than most officials in the court.
Zhou Yan finally understood that Han You taught him the way of "good king", which is actually to understand the people, what they think, what they are doing, and what they need.
If you want to be a wise king, it is as simple as two words: common people.
In fact, this is not only true for virtuous kings, but also for court officials.
When they understand the people, when they understand the people, when they understand the people, just like that, then whether they are officials or princes, they are qualified.
Zhou Yan knew that Han You had been correcting the direction for him.
Han You didn't say which way was right or which way to go. He just threw himself into the darkness, ignited the darkness, and told Zhou Yan where he was wrong.
There were countless people in the darkness, and the darkness shrouded them, so the officials in the court could not see there. In other words, the darkness was brought by the officials in the court.
Han You illuminated the darkness, allowing Zhou Yan to see the people in the darkness.
When all the wrong paths have been avoided, the rest must be the right path, which is the path of the wise king.
Han You could not teach Zhou Yan what was right, he could only teach what was wrong. Wrong was to bring darkness to the people and let darkness envelope the people.
Zhou Yan entered Beijing today, entered Tailong Square, and came outside Chen's mansion, just not wanting Zhou Bi to make any mistakes.
It was Zhou Tong's fault that he was taken advantage of, but this guy was very lucky and went directly to Four Seasons Villa and met Han You.
Zhou Bi is different, completely different.
Now that Han You is not in the capital, and I don’t know how many people are plotting secretly, Zhou Yan knows the virtues of this group of people too well, and it is very likely that he will push Zhou Bi out to become a "leader" in front of the stage. When the dust settles one day , anyone can leave, can withdraw sadly, but not this leader.
Zhou Yan didn't care about games or intrigues, and he wasn't worried about his mentor being plotted against. He didn't care even more, because it had nothing to do with the people.
But Zhou Yan was afraid that Zhou Ben would be assimilated by those aristocratic family members and the so-called Confucian celebrities. When that day comes, he will not only be on the opposite side of Han You, but also run counter to his father. The end can be imagined.
"Ninth brother, your body is much stronger and taller. Come and let third brother take a good look."
Zhou Ben, who was full of alcohol, was surprised and did not hear the sarcasm in Zhou Yan's tone. He walked forward quickly and wanted to hug Zhou Yan as he did when he was a child.
Zhou Yan took two steps back, and Zhang Zhuo stood in front of Zhou Ben expressionlessly.
The prince is different from the prince, and the palace guards are also different from the palace guards.
How could any of the other palace guards dare to stop the prince who has the same identity as his master?
Looking at Zhang Zhuo, when he is in a hurry, he can even criticize Zhou Yan and even kick him in the butt. He is also said to have stopped other princes.
"Zhou Ben!"
Zhou Yan sneered and said: "Go and live in my Prince You's Mansion, and don't interact with idiots like the Chen family anymore. If you are stubborn, don't say that one day you will become a brother and watch with cold eyes."
Zhou Ben was stunned, half awake from the wine: "Ninth brother, what are you..."
"His Royal Highness Youwang."
Chen Yonggui, who was slapped, shouted: "Don't go too far. Concubine Chen is also my sister Chen Yonggui. In Tailongfang, my Chen family also has a place. How dare you hit me in public."
Having said this, Chen Yonggui looked at Zhou Bi with a look of grievance on his face: "Bier, you are his brother. Not only does His Highness Prince You not take you seriously, he doesn't even take Concubine Chen seriously."
From this sentence, you can see how low this guy's emotional intelligence is. He is so obvious in sowing discord. It's no wonder that all the dignitaries in Tailongfang are unwilling to make friends with him.
Zhou Ben wanted to push Zhang Zhuo away, but the latter remained motionless.
"Ninth brother, what's wrong with you? It's your third brother. I'm your third brother. Why are you talking so coldly? Why has your temperament changed so much now? Ninth brother..."
"Look, look, Bi'er, my uncle said that the one named Han is the best at deceiving people."
Chen Yonggui said angrily: "That man named Han is arrogant and domineering, even..."
"You're fucking seeking death!"
Zhou Yan, who had a gloomy face, was furious. He touched his little finger and snapped his fingers: "Hit me, except King Zhao and his entourage. Beat me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhuo pushed Zhou Bi away, and more than twenty guards from Prince You's Mansion rushed out like tigers descending from the mountain.
Everything happened too fast and was caught off guard. Before Zhou Ben could react, Chen Yonggui had already been shot against the doorpost. The other guards of Prince You Palace unsheathed their swords and swung them at anyone.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of excitement and screams.
Zhou Ben was frightened and angry, and subconsciously wanted to do something. However, he drank for several days in a row, and was drunk again at noon. His body was weak and weak, and his heart and blood surged with urgency, and he almost didn't stick it out.
Zhou Yan shook his head with disappointment on his face, and shouted with his hands behind his back: "Hit me, beat me hard!"
The brutal beatings continued. The palace guards looked arrogant, but in fact they did not beat the Chen family servants. As long as they did not resist and knelt down honestly, they only beat those Chen family members who were wearing Confucian robes and fine clothes. Chen Yonggui spared no one. The beating he received was the most severe. He was kicked in a circle by Zhang Zhuo. It was like a circle kick for a person.
Zhou Ben's eyes were red with anger, he never expected that his cute and innocent little brother would become so violent now.
The staggering Zhou Ben ran over in desperation, reaching out to grab Zhou Yan's neck.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan didn't even try to dodge. He grabbed Zhou Ben's wrist with one hand and with a slight force, he clicked on the kid and caught Zhou Ben, who was more than a head taller than him.
Zhou Yan shook his arm, and Zhou Ben took a breath of cold air. He was covered in sweat from the pain, and subconsciously turned around and knelt down on one knee.
With one kick, Zhou Ben crawled to the ground, which was a huge loss of face.
Zhou Yan still had his hands behind his back and shouted "stop".
Looking inside and outside Chen's house, everyone fell down, and those who didn't fell were also kneeling on the ground and trembling.
Looking at Chen Yonggui who was lying unconscious on the ground, Zhou Yan stretched out his hand, and the palace guard behind him handed over a small booklet.
"According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, a fight is a fight, a blow is a beating, and if there is blood, it is an injury. If there is no blood, it is an injury with fists and kicks, and you will be beaten forty times. But when my guards see that everyone in the Chen family is disrespectful to me, I will tell you. If the public is right and the mother-in-law is right, the trouble will only end up in Dali Temple, which means she will lose some money."
Zhou Yan closed the booklet, and Zhang Zhuo took out a thirty-gun banknote from his sleeve and threw it to the ground.
Zhang Zhuo sneered and said: "Before nightfall, His Royal Highness King Zhao is still living in the Chen Mansion. He will continue to fight tomorrow. He will be beaten once a day without leaving, and ten times in ten days without leaving. My Highness... is not short of money!"
Zhou Yan waved his hand: "Brothers, let's go!"
Just like that, everyone in Prince You's Mansion walked away, getting on the carriage when it was time to get on the carriage, and the horses when it was time to mount the war horse, leaving a mess inside and outside the Chen Mansion.
Zhou Ben got up from the ground in embarrassment, his teeth clenched, and his dignity as a dignified emperor was completely lost.
…………
In the palace, the court had just dismissed, and Lao Ba returned to Jingzhi Hall, Long Yan was delighted.
The tax season is here, and Donghai, which had difficulty collecting tax money in previous years, especially the state capital near the third prince Zhou Ben's fiefdom, actually collected more than 790,000 yuan.
According to the memorial written in the East China Sea, thanks to the "education" of the third prince Zhou Bi, in addition to reading and writing in the fiefdom, he would also visit various officials in nearby state capitals, supervise various officials, and conduct tax and financial management. It’s also a matter of asking more questions.
You must know that a prince, a prince with a fief, can only govern within the scope of the fief. In theory, he has no right to interfere with other local governments except the fief.
But the excerpts made it clear, it doesn’t matter to Zhou Ben, but he uses love to generate electricity, to ask, to see, to learn, to supervise. It is not mandatory, but it is to treat each other with courtesy and ask for advice as a prince. Make suggestions and more.
"At that time, I thought that Bi'er would not be as strong as the other children because he would not be able to become a martial artist. But looking at it now, Bi'er is quite promising. He is very promising."
Lao Ba laughed loudly: "It has only been a year since I arrived in the fiefdom, and the people of the East China Sea regard me as a wise king. Yes, Bi'er is good."
Wen and Wu laughed together, murmuring in their hearts.
It's okay if Ben doesn't return to Beijing this week. Once he returns to Beijing, the court is full of praises. His political achievements have come out, his reputation has come out, everything has come out. Almost every day in court, people praise King Zhao.
However, Wenwu didn't say anything. He knew that sooner or later, with his wisdom, Lao Ba would notice something was wrong. The reason why he was letting go of this joke now was just because it was his son who was being praised, so I instinctively didn't think deeply about it.
"It deserves a commendation, it deserves a commendation."
Lao Ba nodded repeatedly: "There must be a painting suitable for the occasion and sent to Bi'er to reward him."
Wen and Wu noticed that Lao Ba was becoming more and more interested in Zhou Bi. He did not have the habit of giving away paintings easily. This was a higher standard than an imperial edict or an imperial gift.
"Your Majesty, do you want to draw now, or..."
"Go to the Imperial Study Room to pick up something suitable for the occasion and send it to you."
"Take what you drew before."
"Yes, let's get one."
Wen Wu hesitated for a moment: "The ones in the royal study are all those you wanted to give to Commander Han before. Commander Han disliked them...Han Tong didn't ask for them earlier."
"I know what's going on."
Lao Ba turned his head and felt a little strange. What happened to Han You? Han You is Han You. Isn't it normal that he doesn't want it? If he doesn't want it, I will reward Lao San. No problem.
"Wait a minute."
Lao Ba frowned slightly: "That's all, after all, it was painted by me. What if one day Han You changes his mind and wants it again? No, no, no, I'd better keep it, and feel free to find something else to send to Bi'er. Don’t move the painting.”
Eunuch Suan was too embarrassed to say anything. He felt that it was not necessary at all. Han You even hated the paintings Lao Ba painted.
