Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1612 It's free!
Although Ye Mingsheng has given up the idea of ​​harming Fang Shi, it does not mean that Ye Mingsheng will adopt his suggestion!

In Ye Mingsheng's opinion, a new era has quietly arrived, and people like Fang Shi are the remnants of the old era. There is no ship to carry him in the new era!
So it is enough to keep him as a reminder for myself, as for more, forget it!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng wrote the word "read" on Fang Shi's memorial, and then picked up another memorial. This memorial was presented by Gu Sansi. Ye Mingsheng thought it would be a matter of the Ministry of Personnel, but Ye Cheng told Ye Mingsheng that what Gu Sansi submitted in this memorial had little to do with the Ministry of Personnel, but was mainly related to the studies of Crown Prince Jingren!

Ye Cheng's words not only surprised Ye Mingsheng, but also aroused Ye Mingsheng's interest!
Honestly speaking, apart from checking what lesson Jingren had learned and what ancient poetry he had memorized when he went to An Miaoyi's place, the most Ye Mingsheng would do was ask about the situation when talking to Gu Sansi. Apart from that, Ye Mingsheng didn't care much about anything else.

Gu Sansi had never written a special memorial to tell Ye Mingsheng about Jingren's academic problems before, and today could be said to be the first time!
As he opened the memorial and read its contents, Ye Mingsheng's expression became more and more solemn!
Although Gu Sansi's description was rather euphemistic and not so direct, Ye Mingsheng was still able to feel Gu Sansi's thoughts on Jingren through his words, and understood how dangerous Jingren was as he was poisoned by conservative ideas!
After a cup of tea, Ye Mingsheng put down the memorial in his hand and fell into deep thought...

Ye Mingsheng knew that the women of the Ye clan often came to the palace to look for An Miaoyi and Ye Cui!
This situation was actually the result of Ye Mingsheng's deliberate consent. After all, Ye Mingsheng wanted to win over and appease these Ye clan members through his wife and his mother. After all, if he plays the good cop, someone else has to play the bad cop!

However, the situation described by Gu Sansi was indeed something Ye Mingsheng had not expected!

Although Jingren is ten years old, he is still a child in Ye Mingsheng's heart, so Ye Mingsheng really didn't expect that Jingren would have such thoughts now!

The problem mentioned by Gu Sansi is not a problem in the short term. After all, he is in his prime and strong. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have no problem living another 20 or 30 years. But in the long run, this is indeed a very dangerous situation!

This also reminded Ye Mingsheng that he understood the importance of reform, so he promoted reform to follow the trend of history, but this did not mean that his successors had the same idea as him. They did not dare to say anything when he was alive, but now that he was gone, it was not impossible for future rulers to reverse history!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng immediately had an idea. He wanted to find Jingren as soon as possible to understand the child’s true thoughts, so as to change his mind and guide him onto the right path!

I have put so much effort into the reform. If the rulers of later generations reverse the course of history, I, Ye, will die with regrets...

In the Imperial Palace, a school
Ye Jingren, the crown prince of Daqian, was writing furiously, holding a brush and writing on the paper:
"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the central government was relatively weak and its ability to control local areas was not strong. It was difficult to effectively control the entire country, especially some remote areas. Therefore, the feudal lords were enfeoffed to strengthen control!"

"In the end, Emperor Gaozu of Han also wanted to bind the Liu clan members to the interests of the Han Dynasty through enfeoffment, enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of the Liu family, jointly safeguard the Liu family's kingdom, and let the Liu family's kingdom be passed down for thousands of years!"

An Miaoyi has been busy with the affairs of Furen Palace these days, so she has relaxed her discipline on Jingren. As a result, Jingren can be said to have had a lot of fun these days. But unfortunately, happy days are always short, and tomorrow is the day when Gu Sansi will give Jingren a lesson.

This also meant that Jingren had to hand in the homework and punishment assigned by Gu Sansi in the previous class, so at this last moment, Jingren had to hurry up and make up for his previous debts as soon as possible.

Just as Jingren was copying non-stop, a few clear and melodious bird calls were heard outside the window. Hearing the sound, Jingren looked over without thinking.

There were two magpies playing on a big tree in the yard. Jingren was attracted by this and completely put down the pen in his hand. He looked at the magpies on the tree with great interest. He didn't know how long he had been looking at them when a voice came from behind Jingren.

"Your Highness!"

Jingren turned around when he heard the voice and saw that the person who came was Huang Ma, the manager of the Inner Court Department. She immediately asked:
"Madame Huang, what can I do for you?"

"Your Highness, please complete your homework carefully and prepare for the article that Gu Shangshu will talk about in class tomorrow..."

Hearing what Nanny Huang said, Jingren couldn't help but frown slightly. At this moment, the magpie outside the window suddenly let out a scream. Jingren couldn't help but look over. It turned out that two eunuchs were holding slingshots and using stones to shoot down a magpie.

The magpie that was knocked down fell to the ground, with a little blood on its small body. Seeing this, Jingren couldn't help but said angrily:

"What are you doing?"

Hearing Jingren's voice, the two eunuchs who were about to knock down another magpie flying into the sky had to stop what they were doing.

At this time, Nanny Huang beside Jingren said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, please study hard! The Queen has instructed us to keep an eye on you and not let you have fun. If you don't do that, the Queen will punish us!"

Jingren, who was originally very angry, didn't know what to say when he heard Nanny Huang say this. He glanced at Nanny Huang, and then, despite Nanny Huang's obstruction, he came to the magpie that was shot down in the yard.

Although the magpie seemed to still be breathing, it was already lying on the ground motionless, as if it was breathing in more than it was breathing out.

Recalling the way the magpie was playing freely with its companions on the big tree just now, Jingren couldn't help but feel a hint of guilt in his eyes. He really didn't expect that he would bring such an unexpected disaster to this little guy just by watching them play...
Jingren carefully picked up the magpie on the ground, then glared at the two eunuchs holding slingshots. Then Jingren walked back to the room and handed the magpie in his hand to a palace maid and said:

"Sister Qing'er, please help me take care of it!"

Looking at the little magpie covered in blood, the palace maid named Qing'er was also a little surprised. She hesitated for a moment and said:
"Your Highness, I have no problem taking care of it! But this little guy doesn't look very well!"

Jingren touched the magpie's feathers, and then said with some guilt:

"It was because of me that I injured it. Sister Qing'er, please do your best to save it, but if you can't save it, you can bury it in the Imperial Garden. No! Bury it outside the palace!"

Qing Er asked with some doubt:
"Your Highness, why can't you bury him in the Imperial Garden?"

Jingren said in a somewhat depressed mood:
"Because it is free, it belongs to the sky and should not be bound or restricted!"

When Qing'er heard this, some doubts immediately emerged on her expression. In her opinion, this magpie was just an ordinary magpie that could be seen on the streets of Yijing at any time. How could a magpie be free and fly in the sky?
Who else is restraining and restricting this magpie?
Jingren didn't care whether Qing'er could understand what he said. He immediately returned to the room and continued copying the text.

Half an hour later, Jingren, whose hands were already a little numb, finally finished all his homework and looked relaxed. Just as he was thinking about what to eat tonight, Nanny Huang came to his side and said:
"Your Highness! The Queen asked you to come over with today's homework..." Hearing his mother asking him to come over and take his homework with him, Jingren's heart subconsciously tightened, but he didn't say anything. He immediately stood up, took the homework he had just finished, and walked towards his mother's room.

After a while, Jingren came to An Miaoyi's side. An Miaoyi picked up her homework without saying a word and started checking it.

After looking at what Jingren had copied, An Miaoyi frowned and said:
"Jingren, your handwriting is pretty neat, but how come it's written like this? There's no font at all. Didn't I tell you to practice your handwriting? It's said that a person's handwriting reflects his character. How can you show your handwriting to others if it's like this?"

Hearing his mother say this, Jingren just lowered his head and said nothing at first, but as An Miaoyi began to take advantage of the topic and criticized Jingren for his lax style and lazy life, Jingren finally couldn't help but say:

"If handwriting really reflects a person's character, then how about my father's handwriting? My father's handwriting is not much better than mine!"

Hearing Jingren dare to talk back, An Miaoyi was stunned for a moment and then rebuked:

"Why do you always want to compete with your father!"

"Your father was a soldier. How could he have the same study conditions as you?"

"Your father can command thousands of troops and conquer the world. Can you do it?"

Jingren lowered his head and whispered:
"You said before that my father was an incompetent man, and he only knew how to gain the upper hand by scheming and scheming because he was lucky..."

Although Jingren's voice was low, An Miaoyi still heard it. The Queen of Daqian immediately spoke:

"You are so good, Jingren! I said one word, and you have a hundred words waiting for me!"

"I asked you to study hard and practice your calligraphy! Why don't you remember it?"

"You just remember these insignificant things! Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Facing his mother's accusations, Jingren felt aggrieved in his heart, thinking that these were just his mother's words, why didn't his mother admit it, but on the surface he still had to respectfully admit his mistakes:

"Mom! I was wrong! Don't be angry!"

Although her son had already apologized, An Miaoyi was still unwilling to give up. She kept on educating Jingren, telling him earnestly how important it was to have good handwriting. Finally, after Jingren promised to practice one more calligraphy copybook every day, An Miaoyi reluctantly ended the education.

After checking the homework, An Miaoyi pondered for a moment and said:

"I will have someone give this homework to Minister Gu tomorrow. Let's postpone tomorrow's class for two days!"

"Postponement? What does this mean, mother?" Jingren asked with some confusion:

"That's what it means!"

"Mr. Gu, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

An Miaoyi shook her head and said;
"Gu Shangshu has nothing to do tomorrow, but Jingren, you have new plans tomorrow!"
"Me? New arrangements?" Jingren looked even more confused when he heard that.

"Your father is going to take you on an incognito tour tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Jingren, who was puzzled just now, suddenly became surprised and happy, but at this time An Miaoyi continued:

"Jingren, you must remember what your mother told you before..."

"What did you say?"

"Just remember, tomorrow when your father goes on a secret visit, don't refute anything he says to you. Whatever he says is what it is. Take it to heart, and don't take it to heart!"

Jingren was a little puzzled when he heard this:
"Mom! I don't quite understand what you mean. How should I tell what I should take to heart and what I shouldn't take to heart!"

An Miaoyi hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. After hesitating for a while, she said:

"Come back tomorrow and tell me everything your father said to you. I will then tell you what you should remember and what you don't need to care about!"

Jingren nodded when he heard that. An Miaoyi saw that it was getting late and started to eat. There were seven dishes for dinner, all of which were delicious and well-prepared by the imperial chef. However, Jingren seemed a little absent-minded while enjoying the food, as he was thinking about the secret visit tomorrow!
Although the palace is very large and has hundreds of rooms, it is very small for Jingren, who grew up here. So he longs for the outside world and wants to see the prosperous Yijing!

Therefore, Jingren was always very happy to go on secret visits with his father!
But for tomorrow's incognito visit, Jingren was not only happy but also deeply surprised!
Although Jingren and Ye Mingsheng had made several incognito visits in the past, due to Ye Mingsheng's busy official duties, they could only make an incognito visit once every few months. However, the last incognito visit, which was to the Liangzhen camp, was only a dozen days ago!

Therefore, if I go on an incognito visit tomorrow, it means that I have made two incognito visits in the past half month, which has never happened before...
