Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 231 Wang Dao enlightens, Zhang Zhengming wants to bid farewell to the old man! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Now Wei Yunyi doesn't have many ways to curb his luck.

This is something better that can be thought of for the time being.

Although Tiandu has gone through civil strife.

But up to now, it can still be regarded as a big country. It is not as powerful as Wei in terms of military strength, but it is not far behind in terms of economy.

With such a country as an enemy, it can pose a slight threat to Wei at all times.

And this is what he wanted.

"Speak directly to the cabinet?"

Zhao Lingying, who was next to her, frowned slightly when she heard this, obviously feeling a little surprised.

Aqin III, after all, is also the king of a country, and now His Majesty is missing, let the cabinet handle it, if the other party feels that the hospitality is not good, or he is underestimated, it is not good.

It's just that, even though she thinks there are some problems with Wei Yunyi's decision, she will not raise any contrary opinions.

Because Zhao Lingying felt that whatever His Majesty did, it must be correct and thoughtful.

In the past few days, she has also seen various details of the Southern Expedition.

I found that His Majesty is not only extremely powerful in the military.

Even the means to deal with the enemy are extremely powerful, it is simply playing with the so-called Lord of Baiyue in the applause.

No matter what Meng Jue did, His Majesty easily resolved it, and in the end he could only choose the path of submission.

So I feel that in this regard, I still need to learn more from His Majesty.

It's like not meeting Aqin III directly.

Definitely not normal.

But think about it carefully, is His Majesty going to give the other party a blow?
After all, Aqin III came to Great Wei this time to conclude Meng Jue and stabilize the domestic situation, and he wanted Great Wei.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Great Wei can gain a lot of benefits, and now that the weather is going well for Great Wei, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is thriving, and it is still growing stronger, so Tiandu can be ignored.

What's more, let the other party talk with the cabinet. If there is something that both parties feel is inappropriate, it can continue without stalemate.

It can be seen once that His Majesty's imperial mind has reached a state of perfection.

There is a lot of room for manipulation in any decision.

Especially Zhao Lingying thinks so.

This is just a random move of His Majesty, not His Majesty's careful planning.

Otherwise, mere Tiandu is definitely not a problem.

"Anything else?"

At this time, Wei Yunyi, who didn't know what the other party was thinking, looked at the pile of memorials and asked again.

"Wait for the concubine to take a look." Zhao Lingying smiled gently, and then continued to review the memorial. If it was an ordinary matter, she would definitely not talk about it and deal with it directly. Only those that are really related to the major affairs of the Dao country will be spoken out.

In this way, His Majesty can also worry less and not be so tired.

Not long after, she picked up another memorial, glanced at it, and said: "It was handed over by Lu An, the general of Zhennan, saying that the king of Baiyue, that is, Meng Jue, officially entered into trade with my great Wei. Details, but there are some more important things, such as copper and iron."

"There is also Meng Jue. I hope that the Great Wei Dynasty will send some Confucian scholars to go to the land of Baiyue to teach the common people there to read and write. So Lu An asked for instructions, can we let him go?"

In fact, Song Gongwen and Meng Jue have already decided on some things, and the next step is to implement them formally.

So it's not a problem to send some food, farm tools and so on to Baiyue.

But copper and iron are different. They are very important and are strictly controlled by the court.

There are also people going to Baiyue to teach reading and writing.

In this regard.

Although Lu An had already received the documents from the cabinet, the emperor still needed the consent of the emperor to do it.

And this is the centralization of power, especially now, Wei Yunyi's majesty as the emperor is already incomparable, naturally no one dares to bypass him and do it directly.

Zhao Lingying also felt that this matter was more important, so she took it out to ask for instructions.

After Wei Yunyi heard the words, he nodded without any hesitation: "Since Baiyue is still submitting, don't worry too much about it. Let Lu An follow the cabinet's documents."

To be honest, he was not afraid of Meng Jue's ambition, but he was afraid that the other party would not have it, and now he wanted copper, iron, and people.

What does it mean?This person sincerely wants to give Baiyue the best.

Once Baiyue gets better and better, what dissatisfaction will there be with Wei in the future?

Isn't it still possible to continue to contain luck?

So this kind of thing, naturally agree.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Lingying nodded, and didn't say much about it, and approved a quasi-word.

As for what happened next, they were all small things, and she also picked up the report, and quickly dealt with most of the backlog of memorials during this period.

According to this speed, it must be completed in a short time.This made Wei Yunyi feel surprised, feeling that the other party is really good at handling memorials, and it would be impossible for him to be so fast.

However, he didn't come to Jingde Palace to deal with Zhao Lingying's memorial.

So after seeing that there was still nothing left, Wei Yunyi got up, took the opponent's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, the rest will be dealt with later. It’s quite insightful.”

"But I couldn't find anyone to compare with. Now that I'm back, would my concubine be willing to discuss the principles of martial arts with me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lingying blushed immediately, and nodded immediately.

Seeing this, Wei Yunyi laughed.

Then he pulled the other party and walked towards the bedroom.

Cui Guo, who was waiting not far away, also exited the palace gate wisely.

In the west of the capital city, it is still the same street, and it is still the same courtyard.

Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen sat opposite each other.

It has been a few days since the Southern Expedition Army came back, but as important officials of the court, the two of them have many things to do, such as holding a banquet in the city, such as the Baiyue trade and so on.

So I haven't been able to find time to get together, and now I'm almost busy, so I get together directly.

"Teacher, the students just got the news that His Majesty has agreed to various trades with Baiyue."

"Not only copper and iron and other things are open and restricted, but also at the request of the king of Baiyue, he sent people to teach those Baiyue people how to read and write."

Song Gongwen drank the tea in the cup, and immediately said with a smile on his face.

"In this Southern Expedition, Your Majesty conquered Baiyue and achieved something that has never been done in the past dynasties. To be honest, I didn't even think of it." Zhang Zhengming smiled, and then continued: "There is also the method of Your Majesty to deal with the aftermath. Let me admire the old minister."

"The land of Baiyue belongs to the barbarians. There are uneducated comments in the history books, which are not tolerated by the Central Plains. But in fact, it is precisely because of this uneducated that Baiyue and the Central Plains do not want to get along."

"Now, His Majesty agrees to let people go, which means that the culture of the Central Plains will be integrated with Baiyue. It doesn't look like a year or two."

"But if it takes a few years or more, or waits for the next generation of Baiyue people to grow up, it will be different."

"At that time, the Central Plains will be regarded as a prosperous place by Baiyue people, and they will yearn for it."

"That's the real conquest."

What a smart person Zhang Zhengming is, so he soon realized that this move was absolutely powerful.

The current Baiyue does not seem to be included in the territory of Great Wei, but it is only a matter of time.

"So, this is His Majesty's long-term vision. He doesn't care about the momentary victory or defeat, but wants the result of the future." Song Gongwen also sighed, and continued: "There is also the opening of the copper and iron trade, which reflects His Majesty's benevolence. Full trust in Baiyue is the real kingly enlightenment."

"Teacher, how long has Your Majesty been on the throne, and you have such a mind and means? Students sometimes feel that if this continues, can they continue to follow in His Majesty's footsteps."

Both of them lamented that His Majesty did not seem to have fought much against Baiyue's various measures.

But in fact, conquering a place is not something that can be decided by a war.

The really important enlightenment, integration.

Otherwise, even if you have the ability to occupy that piece of land, you will have to spit it out one day.

But His Majesty today is obviously aware of this, and while laying down the territory for his descendants, he will not leave future troubles for his descendants.

So they feel that His Majesty is becoming more and more powerful, so why not worry about the prosperity of the Great Wei in the future.

"Seeing that the imperial court and the country are now thriving and becoming more and more powerful, I feel relieved." At this time, Zhang Zhengming suddenly said, "Gongwen, I have been feeling a lot of discomfort recently, and my energy is not as good as before. Because I was worried about His Majesty, worried about state affairs, and wanted to hold on, now it seems that even if I am not in the court, it will be better."

"So, at the end of this month, I intend to submit a letter of invitation to His Majesty, and retire and return home."

As soon as these words came out, Song Gongwen, who was originally happy, suddenly changed his face.

"Teacher, are you going to retire?"

Of course he knew that the teacher was getting old, if it were any other time, he should have retired long ago.

It was just because His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and there was no one in the court who could hold him back, so he had to stay to stabilize the court.

Now Song Gongwen is clear, the teacher obviously sees that the country is stable now, His Majesty has means, and his prestige has been fully established through several battles, so he understands that it is time to leave.

But for a while, he couldn't accept it. After all, he had only joined the cabinet not long ago and needed a backbone.

Besides, if something important happens in the future, who should I consult with?

But if the teacher left it, he couldn't say it.

Song Gongwen knew that the teacher was really tired these years, and almost all his thoughts in this life were put on Wei. If he stopped him, he couldn't bear it, so he retired and returned home, at least he could spend a pleasant old age.

Therefore, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, and then said, "Teacher, have you really decided?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming smiled softly: "I know what you are thinking, and I also understand that I am afraid that after I leave, the situation in the court will not be stabilized, but with His Majesty here, I don't think there will be any problems, and what's more, I I have already planned that after I leave, I will recommend you to His Majesty as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and in this position, you must have the courage to make decisions alone."

"If I stay behind you all the time, it will limit your development. You should understand what I mean."

Hearing this, Song Gongwen didn't speak, obviously agreeing with it.

He still has a lot to do.

It's good to have a teacher around, but it's impossible to support yourself all the time, right?
Moreover, His Majesty is now open-minded, so there must be nothing difficult to do.

Immediately, Song Gongwen stood up and bowed to Zhang Zhengming.

Zhang Zhengming nodded and said: "Although I will report to Lao Zhezi at the end of the month, it will take at least a month to deal with the matter before resigning from the position of chief assistant, so you don't have to."

After speaking, pour a full cup of tea for the other party, and signal to sit down and continue drinking.

And the next time.

The two continued to chat about various measures in the future.

Now that Great Wei has no internal and external troubles, some things must be put on the agenda. For example, Song Gongwen proposed that the gentry should pay the grain together. I may not be able to do it myself, but if there is His Majesty's support, it will definitely be no problem.

In this way, a few days passed by.

And during this period.

The capital is still very lively.

Because after the return of the Southern Expedition Army, Marquis Shenwu will also return to the dynasty.

The Battle of the Northern Territory has been fought for such a long time, and now it is finally over, and it is still a triumphant return from the court's victory.

In addition, the cabinet knew that Aqin III of the Tiandu Kingdom would also come to the capital, and in order to show the majesty of the Great Wei, the ministries also made preparations.

In short, there were a lot of things this month, and Wei Yunyi needed to be consulted for a lot of things, but he left them all to the cabinet, and he was an idler, still practicing.

Of course, the more important thing is that it will be the day of the month-end settlement.

Wei Yunyi calculated the time.

It should be before Shenwuhou's class teacher returns to the court and Aqin III arrives in the capital.

So I wondered if I could use the Hunjun value after this settlement to increase my cultivation level again.

After the fourth rank of Martial Arts, he can't use pills to improve for the time being, so he has to rely on these.

But during this period, Concubine Ying also suddenly handed over a booklet.

It's about Zhang Zhengming resigning from his old age.

This fold.

It just frightened Wei Yunyi, logically speaking, shouldn't the other party retire so early?Also, why did Zhang Zhengming's memorial come so suddenly?

According to the booklet, it was because of illness and poor health, and he agreed with this.

After all, the other party is over 70 years old, and he is on the saddle for the Great Wei and the first emperor.

It can be said that it is dedicated.

only.

Wei Yunyi can't let such a bright light in the sea of ​​bitterness leave the court like this, otherwise who will he ask when he encounters problems in the future?

So he had to think of a way to get Zhang Zhengming to withdraw his idea. Since the memorial was for the weak and sick, he could start from this aspect. Since he had done his best, he couldn't let the other party die.

Whether it was Da Wei's need or his personal feelings, he felt that he had to do something.

And it just so happens that the end of the month will be settled soon.

Therefore, Wei Yunyi directly withheld this memorial and refused to send it, and did not reply directly, and will talk about it when the time comes.

Just waiting like this, the day of the month-end settlement will soon arrive.

today.

Wei Yunyi was still very nervous.

The Battle of the Southern Expedition is over, and the Battle of the Northern Grassland is also over. Even the Kingdom of Heaven has come to sign an alliance. He doesn't know what kind of surge in luck will occur this time.
