The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1154: The Holy Son of Heaven Reigns with Ease [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

"Brother, you don't have to listen, but Zilu will go find the Emperor and his wife!"

Yan Lu continued to speak.

He didn't believe that Yan Yan would listen to his advice, so he prepared a backup plan.

The emperor and empress are in charge of the family affairs of officials, generally speaking, it refers to the officials' wives and daughters. But Gongsun Linglong is a woman serving as an official, so in the end, Yan Lu is indeed under the care of Shao Siming and is qualified to see Shao Siming.

"You Tom!" Yan Yan's defense was broken even more.

He never expected that Yan Lu would be so ruthless and not leave him any way out!

Whose good man, the great scholar, the world-famous gentleman of Qi and Lu, is actually a gentleman who tells tales behind people's backs and goes to the parents' house!

No, this is going to tell tales in front of him!

"I have to stop running!" Yan Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.

He could abandon all the civil and military officials in the court and run away, but that was only if Shao Siming turned a blind eye.

If Yan Lu really wants to go find Shao Siming, Shao Siming will definitely not be able to ignore him.

By then, it would be impossible for him to run around!

"If you have any injustice, please tell me. It's not necessary to..." Yan Yan pleaded humbly.

Isn't Yan Lu a guy who is obsessed with books and doesn't care about what's happening outside? Who on earth has provoked him to cause trouble for him?

"Guess!" Yan Lu said nothing, just kept blinking.

"..." Yan Yan was silent.

Nanyue, Mo Ya, and the attendant all tried to hold back their laughter. After so many years, they finally saw someone who could make Yan Yan like this.

"The world can no longer withstand any more major turmoil!" Yan Lu sighed.

"Just as Senior Brother said, what you eat is tribute rice and meat jerky from all over Bingzhou. It is the best things that the people of Bingzhou offer to the Emperor of Bingzhou."

"The reason why they offer the best tribute to the Emperor and to my senior brother is not because they are seeking high positions and generous salaries, nor because they are seeking prosperity and peace. What they are seeking is a peaceful and stable life."

"What the people want is actually very low, just two meals a day and peace and prosperity."

"As the ruler of Bingzhou, everything you say and do will have a huge impact on Bingzhou."

"So, Zilu dares to ask Brother, please stop running around!"

Yan Lu bowed finally.

Yan Yan looked at Yan Lu who was kneeling on the ground. He was not someone who would not listen to advice.

He also knew that what Yan Lu said was right. The Biography of Guo Tuotuo, a Tree Planter, and the Taoist philosophy of inaction and governance explained a lot of things.

He even studied the history of the Song Dynasty for some time in recent years. Although it did not happen, he still has the memory of it.

Who would have thought that the period of Emperor Huizong of Song, which was criticized by the world, was actually the time when the Song Dynasty's territory was at its peak, with a record of unbroken victory in foreign wars, and even recovered parts of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that successive Song Dynasty emperors had wanted to recover since the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, it is said in the Book of History that the holy emperor rules the country with ease!

The meaning is very simple. A wise emperor does not need to take care of government affairs personally. He can bring peace to the world just by sitting back and doing nothing.

This may be extreme, but it is proven that many times, the more a king wants to do something and the smarter he is, the more trouble he gets into.

Bingzhou is like this now. With some capable ministers and reliable generals, there is really no need for Yan Yan to do too many things. The three dukes and nine ministers below can govern Bingzhou very well.

On the contrary, it was Yan Yan who always caused trouble, which made everyone in Bingzhou, from the three dukes and nine ministers to the ordinary people, nervous and terrified.

The affairs of the court can be managed by the three dukes and nine ministers. All the king and emperor need to do is to manage good people.

When encountering problems or troubles, the emperor would find the local officials who caused the trouble and the people in charge, and kill those who should be killed or deposed, and then find someone who could solve the problem.

This is the emperor's balancing act.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

The prime minister is in charge of affairs, the lieutenant is in charge of the army, and the censor is in charge of all officials. As an emperor, you only need to manage people!
"Pass on my order. When the Prime Minister returns, I will not attend the imperial court or leave the capital for five years. Is that ok?"

Yan Yan looked at Yan Lu, and then at the attendant.

He said this and had it recorded in the daily records. So unless something happened that required his presence, he could not go against his will again.

"Zi Lu will thank His Majesty for all the people in the world, and I also wish you many children and happiness!"

Yan Lu stood up with a smile, but still did not forget to stab him in the heart.

"..." Yan Yan thought to himself, "Go away!"

"Okay!" Yan Lu walked out of the palace with a smile.

An Qisheng on the way back: ??? No one has ever considered my feelings?
If the Emperor doesn't attend court for five years, then all the work will fall on me!
Have you guys ever thought about me?
Would you rather die than let my friend die?
Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
Then everyone stop playing!
"Done!" Yan Lu, who had returned to the Foreign Minister's Residence, said lightly to Gongsun Linglong, who had just stood up and whose legs were still a little weak.

“???” Gongsun Linglong’s face was full of confusion. What the hell was done?

"You...how can I go to see the Emperor and Empress?"

"Then don't go!" Yan Lu said calmly.

"You..." Gongsun Linglong felt somewhat angry and resentful.

"Master, the imperial edict has come from the palace. His Majesty has ordered that within five years, you will not attend the imperial court or leave the capital."

The family elder brought the royal decree from the palace.

"Ah?" Gongsun Linglong looked at Yan Lu in astonishment, "Did my husband do this?"

Yan Lu smiled and waved slightly.

"I love you so much!" Gongsun Linglong pounced on him.

The family elders and servants decisively turned around and left the hall, and considerately helped to close the door.

Yan Yan returned to Changqiu Palace from the School Administration Hall and looked at Shao Siming, telling him about Yan Lu in detail.

Shao Siming also listened carefully without saying a word.

It was not until Yan Yan stopped that the Grand Chamberlain of the Palace slowly spoke, "Master Yan Lu has been here."

Yan Yan widened his eyes in shock and looked at Shao Siming, wanting to see the answer from her eyes.

"Yeah!" Shao Siming nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

"No, is he a man? I have issued an edict, but he still comes here to tell tales!"

Yan Yan cursed.

Shao Siming chuckled. The reason why she agreed to Yan Lu was very simple, or perhaps Yan Lu’s words touched her.

If an emperor has no children, it is either due to physical problems or time issues.

There is nothing wrong with Yan Yan's health or theirs, so there is only one problem!
It's not that a master won't have offspring, it's just a matter of probability.

As for probability, you will win if you try a few more times!

What's more, as the founding emperor of Bingzhou, it would have a huge impact if she had no descendants.

Others and future generations of historians would not think that it was Yan Yan's problem, they would only think it was her problem.

Therefore, as the emperor and empress of Bingzhou, the emperor's concubine, and the lady, she, Yan Lingji, Dugu Yanzhi, and Nongyu were actually under a lot of pressure.

The censors and court officials have explained this issue to them many times.

There were even some fearless people who asked to expand the size of the harem.

Sometimes Shao Siming even nodded in agreement, but Yan Yan vetoed it.
