surnamed Wang

Chapter 408
In the capital city, two luxuriously dressed youths were walking along the street. One of them was wearing a dark blue blouse, and his gestures showed majesty. Well-born.

These two are the current emperor and the newly promoted third-rank servant Lian Li. The two monarchs and ministers rarely have time to go out for a stroll. I will walk out of the palace and visit the streets and alleys of the capital.

Even though Emperor Shun thought he was conscientious enough, in the eyes of Wang Qingquan, it was still a useless "going through the motions".

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, very few people dare to criticize the government. Even though there is no law in the dynasty that prohibits the people from discussing government affairs in private, the officials of all sizes in the capital cherish their lives very much. Therefore, the control of speech has always been strict.

Misfortune comes out of the mouth, the common people accidentally say something that should not be said, and it is considered light to be beaten. It is no wonder that Wang Bingquan is so pessimistic about Emperor Shun's "tours in micro-clothes", wearing a embroidered python and linden Wearing casual clothes, combined with the style of dragging to the sky, whoever sees him can't avoid his sharp edge, and dare to say anything outrageous.

In fact, Emperor Shun couldn't be blamed for this, he is the king of a country, so naturally he couldn't handle everything thoughtfully, and the officials of the Ministry of Rituals couldn't possibly allow the dignified emperor to wear short jackets to wander the streets and make jokes with those local hooligans.

Moreover, Emperor Shun also had self-knowledge, knowing that with his own temperament, he might put on the airs of the emperor if he didn't say a few words. The kind of thing that pretends to be a servant without arousing suspicion is the only thing called Wang Gangquan. A shameless person can do it.

Although he couldn't hear the thoughts of the people with his own ears, Emperor Shun had a secret guard at hand, and the person in charge of the secret guard was his closest person, so no matter big or small in the capital, could escape the emperor's eyes and ears.

……

The two found a slightly larger restaurant and sat down at a window seat. They both had eaten before going out, so they only ordered the pot of Mingqian Longjing.

After hearing that the two of them didn't plan to order food, Xiao Er's face that was still warm turned cold in an instant. If it wasn't for the noble clothes of the two, the always snobby guy might have opened his mouth to push them away.

Fortunately, the son-in-law Lian Li was "good enough" and gave enough rewards, which made the man satisfied and continued to work. There is a saying that the king of Hades is better than a little ghost. God knows if this guy will secretly spit into the tea, how much? It never hurts to give some money.

When the tea was served, Lian Li poured a cup of tea for the emperor who was turning his head to look at the street scene, and said slowly:

"Now that the world is at peace, and foreign races do not come to invade, it is really a blessing for the people of the dynasty."

Emperor Shun took a sip of tea and said lightly:
"It depends on people's efforts. I don't know how long this good season will last. Although Xichi has five younger brothers, but he has never been clear with the empress, and he may be recruited to the east bed someday; and Xichi, Agudam He is old, and the little prince Battelle is very ambitious. After ascending the throne, in order to strengthen the morale of the army, he may have to take us into surgery.

Donghan is safe, with the relationship of the eight kings, there should be no turning back within 20 years; as for the Southern Qiang, now I have started to weaken the authority of the Yan army. This matter has advantages and disadvantages. The successor may not be able to suppress this Help the guy who is known as rebellious. "

After finishing counting, Emperor Shun suddenly showed a helpless smile. Although Lian Li on the opposite side had entered the court not long ago, his ability to observe words and expressions was first-class. At this moment, he directly lowered his head and began to drink tea, pretending not to see it.

What the emperor thought was nothing but the Eighth Prince.

The Empress Xichi, the Princess of Beitu, the Prince of Donghan, and the daughter of the Nanqiang Patriarch all have a deep love affair with King Ankang. If anyone with a discerning eye knows that this prince has no ambition to be an emperor, he will definitely think that he is doing something wrong. Build momentum for yourself.

Emperor Shun naturally knew this, but he could only sigh heavily. Even his throne was left by the other party, so how could he feel comfortable.

Even if he is dissatisfied and wants to find an unfounded charge, he still has to weigh his own weight. After all, that guy has defeated Wen Fuding, he is an undoubted immortal, and now the royal dragon spirit is on him, A little carelessness may damage the foundation of the country...

Emperor Shun was really upset when he thought about it, so he planned to change the subject, shook his teacup and said:
"I heard that Zhou Zuo of Ru'an Mansion was arrested?"

Lian Li nodded, "On the way to the capital."

"What's Zou Shilang's reaction?"

"Master Zou only left four words for his in-laws, so that he can take care of himself..."

Emperor Shun nodded, "I still know how to measure it, it doesn't hurt to keep him a little longer."

When he said this, Emperor Shun still didn't have a little smile on his face, but frowned slightly, Lian Li replied softly, but he couldn't help feeling sorry for the emperor who had power over the world.

Zhou Wei was originally ordered by the emperor to stay behind to test Shen Qianqiu. If the other party fails to win the Zhou family father and son, it means that he is just a mediocre person with a lot of ink. It doesn't matter.

But Shen Qianqiu took advantage of the dead end and completed the task that even Li couldn't easily complete, which made Emperor Shun face a difficult situation.

If you accept this talent with your nose, you will feel unhappy, and feel that you have been set aside by Wang Quanquan again. If you put it on the shelf and don't reuse it, it will be too wasteful for the self-proclaimed Mingjun Emperor Shun.

It can be said that his attempt was not considered an ingenious temptation, and it did not serve any purpose except to make him feel uncomfortable. Shen Qianqiu is like a beautiful and graceful woman in his heart, but it is a pity that this woman was given by Wang Quanquan. spoiled.

After a long silence, Emperor Shun continued to ask:
"The last time you went to the Ministry of Industry, what do you think of Jiang Xiucheng?"

Lian Li smiled and said bluntly:
"Having true knowledge and vision, he is a rare talent."

Although Lian Li only said a short sentence, it was a very high praise. I have to say that Wang Gingquan is really poisonous. There are so many scholars in the world, but he just chose two top talents. .

……

Emperor Shun finally came out to chat and relax, but he didn't expect that the chat would become more and more blocked. Now the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households have people with royal authority. Given time, the post of two ministers in the future will definitely be in the pockets of two young people.

In addition, after Yan Jun cut power and returned to Beijing, Wu Sha, Minister of the Ministry of War, would undoubtedly fall on the head of this veteran general with great military achievements, and the power of the king could be held in three hands without any effort.

Thinking of this, Emperor Shun was already on pins and needles.For his sake, the emperor is really useless. No matter how he looks at himself, he doesn't look like an emperor, but more like a tool used by the king to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing.

Maybe I should have learned from the other party back then, honestly being a prince in the south of the Yangtze River, and that person who works all day like that may become a king...

Emperor Shun, who didn't even frown in the face of the overwhelming army, now doubted his ambition to be emperor for the first time.
