The Legend of Cultivation by Little Mortals

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on Zhang Ye's door, and the old housekeeper said outside: "My lord, the servants in the king's palace have brought documents."

Zhang Ye was depressed for a while, and hurriedly finished tidying up under Zhaoli's service, and walked out.

Before leaving, I happened to see a dim light in Miss Bao's room.Zhang Ye walked in first.

Accompanied by the blue lantern, Miss Bao was writing with a pen, without looking at it, she said, "Go if you have something to do, don't worry about me."

Zhang Yedao: "Why haven't you rested yet? Your cultivation base is low, and if you continue like this, your life will be shortened."

Miss Bao smiled indifferently, put down her pen and got up, came over to tidy up Zhang Ye's messy clothes, and said, "Go, if His Highness wants to help you solve the matter of Huang Zhongchang and Changkong Lang, just refuse."

Remembering Miss Bao's explanation, Zhang Ye followed the courtiers out of the small courtyard and entered the back of the palace.

Ji Ran was still standing beside the Wushuang Pool in a daze, and the three salamanders called out: "Admiral Long, Ankang", and she came back to her senses.

"I'm going to let the ministers go to the officials' mansion and my uncle for a walk, do you think it's okay?" Changkong turned around and smiled.

Zhang Ye knelt down and said: "No. The ministers represent the kingship, and the kingship represents Wushuang. The detached status of the kingship must be maintained. This is the overall cohesion of Wushuang. When the kingship participated in the following competitions, the kingship walked down from the hall, representing domineering, It is the beginning of the chaos, and it is also the beginning of the eunuchs taking power. In any mature dynasty, the rise of the prime minister can be tolerated, but the rise of the "inner ministers" forces to interfere in politics must not be tolerated. The rise of eunuchs and eunuchs, It has always been a way to subjugate the country. It can directly intensify the conflict between the royal power and the clan, rather than buffer it."

Ji Ran was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him: "Get up quickly, that's a good point, but... I suspect it was your wife who said it?"

Zhang Ye blushed.

Fortunately, Ji Ran didn't care about it, and said angrily, "Which wife do you want to marry? I heard that Mu Zhaojun is also going to marry you?"

Zhang Ye was speechless and said, "Let's discuss the government affairs you summoned late at night?"

He said tremblingly: "I asked you here to ask this matter... No, actually I asked you to come here to ask you, do you want to put His Highness Mother's body in the Wushuang Pool?"

Zhang Ye really didn't want to let go of His Highness's body, but after scratching his head for a long time, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable not to abide by His Highness's will and not let his daughter manage the body.

"Okay." Zhang Ye finally nodded in agreement.

"Yeah." Changkong nodded apprehensively and said, "Can you stop marrying Mu Zhaojun after this?"

"?" Zhang Ye didn't dare to agree casually, thinking, the schedule for marriage is full, and even in Lan Xuecheng, there is still an unmarried Yanjing.

However, it seemed that His Highness Jiran didn't like to hear these things, so Zhang Ye didn't dare to say anything casually.

"Well, good." Seeing that he didn't speak, Ji Ran was a little embarrassed, and said: "Actually, I don't want to ask you these things, I have nothing to ask."

Zhang Ye said dejectedly, "Your Highness, you summoned him late at night and just said a few words?"

Chang Kong said with trepidation: "Can't I call you over late at night for a chat?"

Her appearance made Zhang Ye a little fascinated, and hurriedly said: "Of course, I won't go back. I will chat with you until dawn."

Sitting down by the pond, he said that he started chatting, but Jiran instead talked about state affairs and asked, "The palace has a bunch of documents recommending you as the inner minister, but there are still two crucial documents, which are My uncle, Prince Lang, and Minister Huang Zhongchang. What do you think?"

Zhang Ye has always been confused about these things, but Zhang Ye is also familiar with Miss Bao's memorization.

At that moment Zhang Ye said: "Master Huang Zhongchang is always prudent, he will wait and see, but it doesn't matter, I have summoned Longwei Sima Huang Min back to the court, and she can solve this matter after she comes. As for Prince Lang, I don't know very well. "

Jiran said: "My uncle has never participated in government affairs. This is the rule set by His Royal Highness, but he is the acting patriarch of Changkong, and also serves as the "Clan Minister" of the royal palace. He has always managed the liaison affairs between various clans. His Royal Highness Not at the back, but within the Changkong clan, uncle's influence is second to none, and he has a certain degree of persuasion among clans other than Wushuang. It seems that because of your Mrs. Zhaoli, Zhaoli's family has a deep influence on Prince Lang, so he There are signs of rejection of you."

After a pause, he continued tremblingly: "In principle, after His Royal Highness is gone, they should support me as the patriarch of the Changkong clan. Unfortunately, my mother did not leave an edict in this regard. In addition, my uncle has always been the acting patriarch. Since there is no mention And this matter, and I was raised by my uncle, which means that he is the father, so in this case, I can't come forward and ask him to hand over the power and deprive him of the affairs of the acting patriarch, Ye, do you understand?"

Zhang Yedao: "I understand this. Miss Bao also mentioned that this situation will make your status more detached, but at the same time, it will also further reduce your influence. In the long run, it is beneficial to the country. But it is harmful to say that the short-term interests."

Changkong said with trepidation: "Ye, tell me the details."

Zhang Yedao: "The long-term benefit is that if you don't serve as the patriarch, your royal power will truly represent the country, represent Wushuang, and be above everything else. You are not the patriarch, and the decision-making is entirely based on state affairs, which further reduces the interests of the Changkong royal family. It is a performance of selflessness, and it is also an important step in eliminating the influence of the powerful in the future. But in the near future, you will encounter great resistance in many things."

Changkong said softly with trepidation: "It's hard to decide, you just tell me, do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?"

"Yes." Zhang Ye nodded. Although Miss Bao said so, Zhang Ye felt that this was a kind of sacrifice for Jiran.

"Then you do it." Jiran said, "I trust you and leave it to you. You go to see my uncle and exchange your honorary patriarchal power and orthodox patriarchal position for your power. This is a This kind of compromise, a kind of transaction, is also politics in the mouth of His Majesty the mother."

Although this is what Miss Bao hoped to achieve, Zhang Ye didn't immediately agree. She scratched her head for a long time and said, "But I still feel a little sorry for you. You have sacrificed too much. I'm afraid that you should spit out what you should have." It's the hardest thing."

Changkong said softly, "Just do it. This is what you gave me. If you don't come back, I can't have these things."

Zhang Ye said depressedly, "Why don't you think about it again."

Changkong laughed dumbfoundedly and said, "When did you become such a slut?"

There was no more words to say after that, the two of them stood back to back, looked at the stars and night by the pond, and fell silent.

After a long time, Zhang Ye said: "If there is nothing else, I should leave?"

Chang Kong said with trepidation: "Don't leave, the court meeting will be held soon after dawn."

Zhang Yedao: "I am Admiral Long, and I cannot attend the court meeting yet."

Chang Kong said with trepidation: "Then you will wait until that moment, and protect your regent to enter the court meeting."

It was inconvenient for Zhang Ye to speak again, and it was fine if he didn't go back.As in the past, it is difficult for Zhaoli to feed herself. Except at night, she also has her own rules in the early morning.

The only advantage is that He Zhaoli xxoo will not lose his cultivation base, which is equivalent to double cultivation, which is of great benefit to Zhaoli.

Of course, the benefits to Zhang Ye himself are not too great, and it is not as fast as Zhang Ye's direct cultivation.It's just limited to the current situation, Zhang Ye has never had time to practice, and there is no way to experience the kind of cycle that maintains high efficiency and high income for a week...
