The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 473 Smart
The thought flashed through his mind, and Pan Yun focused on the present moment. "Prime Minister Yang, Elder Yang, I am not here tonight to discuss with you such broad topics as punishing corrupt officials, clean politics, and the way to be a monarch."

Yang Shiqi asked with a smile: "Then why are you here?"

“I’m here to tell you that they’d better spit out the duck meat in their mouths, otherwise, Wang Zhen, the emperor, and even I and the people of the world will chop off their heads, hollow out their stomachs, and pull out the duck meat!”

The smile on Yang Shiqi's face disappeared, and he looked at Pan Yun in shock: "Are you threatening me?"

"No," Pan Yun said, "I am threatening them!"

"I know, Prime Minister Yang, you are different from them," Pan Yun paused, raised his head and looked him in the eye, "You want to uphold the principles of monarch and minister, the will of the people, and the loyalty of your colleagues. Prime Minister Yang, you want too much, and you may lose it all in the end."

Yang Shiqi looked dazed.

"How dare you!" Yang Pu was furious: "How dare you, kid, talk nonsense?"

Yang Shiqi's mind was moved: "Were you imprisoned in the same prison with Wang Zhen?"

Pan Yun nodded: "Neighbor."

Yang Shiqi: "Do you know that Wang Zhen has something that can check and balance them?"

Pan Yun sneered and said, "In my opinion, no matter whether it is Wang Zhen or them, they all deserve to die. It would be best if they fight to the death and perish together in the end.

But the lowly people with low moral character will live longer, and the chivalrous people and ordinary people around them will be killed one after another because of them, but they will never die. "

Yang Shiqi & Yang Pu: ...

It's so satisfying to see this kid scold like that. She's worthy of being the daughter of the Censor. Does Pan Hong also have such eloquence?
Both ministers felt sorry.

Since Pan Yun has such insight and eloquence, Pan Hong must be good and upright. He is a talented person. How come we haven't discovered him before?

Yang Shiqi was moved by his love for talent and became more patient: "Are you here to warn me for the sake of the people of the world?"

"Of course, but it's more for my father and brother," Pan Yun said, "I won't hide it from you. In the struggle between Wang Zhen, the emperor and the civil officials in Jiangnan, Xue Xuan and my father were the first batch of cannon fodder, and the people in Jiangnan and the coastal areas were the second batch."

Pan Yun became more and more angry as he spoke: "Who is the emperor's teacher? Didn't he only learn the art of balance when teaching him how to be a monarch? Didn't he learn to abandon his prejudices when employing people and to deal with government affairs based on facts rather than people?"

Yang Shiqi was silent.

Yang Pu was silent.

As two of the Three Yangs entrusted with the care of the emperor, they also shouldered the responsibility of educating the emperor, but...

The emperor trusted Wang Zhen more.

Compared with them, the emperor directly called Wang Zhen "Mr. Teacher".

So when it comes to who the emperor's teacher is, neither of them wants to admit it is themselves, so it can only be Wang Zhen.

That’s right, the emperor’s teacher was Wang Zhen.

Just thinking about it, they couldn't help blushing.

"There are problems in Jiangnan, but instead of rectifying the chaos and solving the problems, and solving the problems for the people who caused them, you create someone who is more powerful and have him fight the people who caused the problems, thus magnifying the problems." Pan Yun became more and more annoyed as he spoke: "Why, are we ordinary people really like grass, and they just let us mow it down one crop after another?"

Pan Yun said with a sullen face, "Prime Minister Yang, I'm putting this on hold. If they refuse to back down, I don't mind helping Your Majesty and chopping off their legs. Even if my father is abandoned by Your Majesty, he will still be exiled to Datong."

Pan Jun left after making those harsh words. Because she was so angry, she didn't even fly on her sword, but used her lightness skills to fly out of the capital directly. She only came to her senses after the cold wind froze her face so much that it hurt.

Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu, who remained in the hall, took a long time to come back to their senses.

Yang Pu couldn't help but exclaim: "What a smart kid."

Yang Shiqi: "Xue Shao is one, she is another, both are intelligent and clever, their wisdom is almost demonic, the world is going to be in turmoil."

Yang Pu: "Shiqi is worrying too much. Although the Luchuan battle involves military and national strength, the Ming Dynasty is still the hegemon of the four directions. There are many problems in the country, but they are all minor problems and will not cause any major problems."

Yang Shiqi looked worried: "I have the same idea as you. Although Your Majesty is impulsive and loyal, he also has the ambition to be a wise ruler. Even if he cannot be a pioneering ruler, it should not be difficult for him to maintain the status quo."

"But... people like Xue Shao and Pan Yun have appeared," he said worriedly. "Both of them are younger than the emperor, have grown up among the people, and are more insightful than the other."

"They ask painful questions and think about it, which shows that many people have such questions," Yang Shiqi said solemnly, "This is a sign of impending chaos."

Yang Pu: "You think too much. There are people in the court who are just sitting there doing nothing, but there are many such people in every dynasty. Since we became regents, the political situation has been clear, and the problems in Jiangnan have become increasingly serious. It was only after Your Majesty made use of Wang Zhen that the situation became more serious."

He said: "I have the same idea as Xue Shao and Pan Yun. Your Majesty should change some of your political habits and not rely on Wang Zhen for everything and act in Wang Zhen's name.

He is the emperor. If he has any ideas, he can just bring them up and solve them based on the facts, not the people.”

Yang Shiqi: "Hongji, if I were twenty years younger, no, ten years younger, I would have the same idea as you."

He slowly sat down on the stool and said, "When faced with injustice, I would be as angry as you and rush forward just like you, but I am not like that. I am 78 years old this year."

Yang Pu frowned.

Yang Shiqi: "Is the child eleven or twelve years old? She was so angry just now, but she finally chose to warn me, reminding me that Wang Zhen had a trump card in his hand, and asked me to persuade them to take a step back and reconcile with His Majesty, or even with Wang Zhen.

She is better than you and me at controlling her anger at this age."

Yang Pu pursed his lips: "You want me to learn from her?"

Yang Shiqi: "Our emperor is not someone who can be directly criticized."

"To blindly obey the emperor is to be a treacherous minister!" Yang Pu said angrily, "Shiqi, are you getting old and confused?"

Yang Shiqi didn't want to argue with him, so he changed the subject directly: "What do you think of what Pan Yun said?" Yang Pu was still in his emotions, and asked back unhappily: "What do I think?"

"Let them spit out the duck meat in their mouths."

Yang Pu: "I won't go. I've already advised them, but this is the first time, and I can't do it again. In my opinion, just like Pan Yun said, let them fight. It would be best if they chop off their heads and hollow out their stomachs!"

"You're speaking in anger again."

Yang Pu said solemnly, "I am not saying this in anger. During the meeting tonight, I saw that they became angry when they were silent for a few times, so I went back. I didn't mention it because I knew you probably wouldn't agree. But since Pan Yun has spoken, why don't we go with the flow and help Wang Zhen? Kill these people first, and then kill Wang Zhen in return. Wouldn't it be fair in the world?"

Yang Shiqi: "Why don't you look in the mirror and take a look at your gray beard? Do you think you are a teenager like them?"

Yang Pu: "I am not old at heart, unlike you. Your body is old, but your heart is even older. I think you are really getting old."

Yang Shiqi: "I am doing this to be on the safe side. Pan Yun knows that when the two fight, the first to get hurt are the common people."

Yang Pu: "Your Majesty, with such a character, you must fight."

"you!"

Yang Pu turned his head away: "Anyway, I'm not going."

Yang Shiqi: "If you don't go, I will."

Yang Pu sneered: "I'm afraid it's useless for you to go. They are used to pretending to be stupid. There are many people pretending to be stupid tonight."

Yang Shiqi: "This time it's different."

Yang Pu: "What's the difference?"

Yang Shiqi: "I will threaten them."

Yang Pu raised his eyebrows: "You are really threatened by Pan Yun. Do you believe what she said? If we don't do it, will she really help His Majesty and Wang Zhen?"

He said, "Wang Zhen and she should be mortal enemies, right?"

Yang Shiqi: "Didn't you hear what that kid said? Don't blame the person, she can do anything if you piss her off."

He sneered, "Those people are holding up the banner of justice and overturning the verdicts for Xue Xuan and Pan Hong, thinking that Xue Shao and Pan Yun will be grateful to them. However, they don't know that these two kids have seen through their true nature and know that their real enemy is not just Wang Zhen. I'm afraid that these two kids have also guessed the inside story of how Xue Xuan was questioned and Pan Hong was implicated."

"They wanted to use Xue Shao and Pan Yun as chess pieces, but they didn't know that the chess pieces were looking at them like fools," Yang Shiqi said, stroking his beard. "I really want to know their faces after they know the truth."

Yang Pu: "...Such a bad taste, I don't think you are old."

Yang Shiqi: "Go away, it's late, I won't keep you overnight."

Yang Pu turned and left.

Yang Shiqi sat alone for half the night and fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

He did not go to meet that group of people, but went to the imperial prison first to find out who Wang Zhen had met recently.

When Yang Shiqi heard that Wang Wen from the Censorate had come after Pan Yun left yesterday, he became thoughtful.

Wang Wen, he is also a strange man.

A person with extremely soft bones.

Yang Shiqi's mouth curled up slightly, "It's a good knife. Although it's a soft knife, it hurts when a soft knife cuts a person."

Pan Yun returned to the post station before dawn, and no one except Hu Jing and Wang Cong knew that she had left in the middle of the night.

Oh, An Chen seemed to have some doubts. He kept hanging around Pan Yun for the next two days. He didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sat on the roof to look at the stars, which scared Pan Yun who opened the window to meet Pan Xiaohei.

An Chen already knew that the demon cat belonged to Pan Yun.

This matter can be hidden from others, but not from him.

After all, he was the one who had followed Yin's house.

He knew it, and Yun Yan naturally knew it too.

Yun Yan knew it, and the emperor naturally knew it too.

But the emperor pretended not to know and did not ask the Imperial Observatory to ask Pan Yun for the cat, so An Chen pretended not to know the existence of the black cat.

He glanced and then looked away.

Pan Yun immediately understood his attitude, so she leaned over the window and asked him, "General An, why are you sitting on the roof so late at night?"

An Chen: "Stand by night to prevent anyone from coming or leaving."

Pan Jun pretended not to understand: "Who is it? Who is so blind? We are flying the banner of the Jinyiwei, who dares to come?"

An Chen snorted and said nothing.

Pan Jun touched his nose, slammed the window shut, and turned to look at Pan Xiaohei: "Did he know that we ran away that night?"

"Meow—how should I know?"
