Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 364
He sat slumped on the ground, his shoulders slumped, and his whole body seemed to be drained of energy.

Feng Jin looked at him coldly, feeling complicated and unspeakable.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Wenqing raised her head slowly, with a wry smile on her face, "Your Majesty is indeed planning a strategy, and every step is a trap. Maybe from the very beginning, Your Majesty has never trusted this humble minister, right?"

"I trust you, eight points, and two points of suspicion."

Feng Jin's voice was indifferent, without the slightest ups and downs of emotion, "You don't have to make such an expression of being heartbroken, as if you have been let down by me, your loyalty to me has never been more than eight points, save two points and use it ? And your affection for me, maybe it is pure sincerity, maybe this sincerity is also mixed with other things, such as interests, such as calculations."

Shen Wenqing's face turned pale, Feng Jin looked at him with complex and deep eyes, "You have always been a smart person, but you are too smart, even if you like someone, you are smart, and you know how to use this liking, How to use this affection to seek the greatest benefit for yourself. Wen Qing, you are too smart to appear cunning."

Shen Wenqing opened her lips, as if she wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't utter a word.

"The man next to me, Wuming, is completely sincere to me. He doesn't ask for anything in return, gives everything, and doesn't force me to do things he doesn't like. He tolerates me without reservation. The sect master's sincerity towards me is mixed. Desires that you can't get after what you ask for, but that sincerity is sincere and hard to come by. Qi Che's sincerity is mixed with admiration and admiration, and the love between men and women is a bit less, but it is also sincere. And your sincerity , Wen Qing, how true is your sincerity?"

Shen Wenqing opened her mouth, but finally revealed a wry smile, speechless.

"If we don't pierce some things, we pretend we don't know, and we can be a good pair of monarchs and ministers. Isn't that what happens between monarchs and ministers? I can pretend that I can't see some things, and I can't see your thoughts and plans. , if you hide it well and control it well, you will be able to be my capable minister for a long time. But Wenqing, if I pretend not to see it, it does not mean that I am really blind and blind. I have lived for so many years and can see through People's hearts, I know better than anyone what it means to have unfulfillable desires and what it means to be dark in human nature."

"Once a person gets something, he wants more. Therefore, every courtier wants to be promoted and climb to a higher position. Everyone has desires. The most important thing is how to control these desires. If Let yourself not be controlled by desire."

"Human nature is also full of jealousy, especially when people who used to be similar to themselves ran to the front all of a sudden, widened the distance, and reached a peak that they could not climb. From now on, they can only look up from the bottom up, or even go down Kneeling and saluting will inevitably be unbalanced and jealous! But Wen Qing, everyone has their own position and their own uniqueness. What I want is for every courtier to stay in his position and do a good job in this position What should be done, so that the world will be peaceful, and this huge country of Great Zhou can operate normally."

Shen Wenqing opened her lips, and said slowly, "Is Your Majesty disappointed with this humble minister?"

"Yes."

Shen Wenqing smiled wryly, "Your Majesty is really merciless."

"However, I am disappointed in you, not yet desperate, otherwise, I would not tell you these things."

Shen Wenqing looked at Feng Jin in disbelief, "Your Majesty means..."

"If I gave up on you completely, do you think I would waste time and energy talking to you so much?"

Shen Wenqing's face showed ecstasy, her lips trembled slightly, "Your Majesty, my humble minister, my humble minister..."

"Bring your people back! I will continue to keep you at Yushitai, but I will no longer support you. You can stay at the position of third-rank Yushi and climb up by your own ability. If you can climb up, It's your fault, if you can't climb it, it's your life! Also, I will use Tang Yun."

Using Tang Yun together, anyone with a discerning eye will know that the Queen is dissatisfied with Shen Wenqing, and there will be many people who follow the trend.

The ecstasy on Shen Wenqing's face faded a lot in an instant, and her eyes darkened.

"You don't have to worry so much. Tang Yun starts from the bottom and climbs up. It will take at least five to eight years for him to climb to your current position. If you are smart, you should know how to use this time. "

"I understand, thank you Your Majesty for your advice."

Shen Wenqing slowly knelt on the ground, folded her hands on the carpet, and knocked her forehead respectfully on the back of her hands.

Feng Jin took a deep look at him, "Show me your true skills!"

"My humble minister would like to obey the holy will."

"Go back."

Shen Wenqing slowly got up, and looked at Feng Jin with vacant eyes, but Feng Jin didn't look at him, and flipped through the battle report on the side.

Shen Wenqing felt a little sad in her heart, and her eyes became lonely.

From now on, the empress will never treat him differently, and will only treat him as an ordinary courtier.

The friendship that has been with her for nearly two years has finally worn away a little bit.

Shen Wenqing felt great remorse in her heart, but it was already too late.

"After transferring your people back, go back to the imperial capital. I don't need your service here."

Shen Wenqing's face turned pale, and it took her a long time to lower her eyes, hiding the sadness in her eyes, and said respectfully, "My minister would like to obey the holy will."

"Go back."

When leaving the tent, Shen Wenqing's legs were so weak that he could hardly walk. The deputy leader at the door of the tent sighed and came to help him. Shen Wenqing gave him a difficult smile, "Thank you."

"No thanks, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

Shen Wenqing sighed, "When I return to the imperial capital, everyone will know that I have been rejected by His Majesty. The most indispensable thing in the world is people who worship high and step down, and make trouble."

"Since you know it, why do you still do such a stupid thing?"

"Not reconciled, jealous, thinking of provoking a few words, but His Majesty can't hear it."

The deputy leader's hand holding his arm paused slightly, "You are so smart, you are mistaken by your cleverness. Besides, your majesty is so smart, why can't you hear it? Your majesty has already seen your thoughts Here, you are just remembering the friendship in the past and pretending to be confused. If you said those words to His Majesty in private, instead of in front of so many generals, His Majesty would not mind, but you said in front of so many people that you have no name. Your Majesty beheading the captives is out of style, it is no wonder that His Majesty is not furious, you clearly know that His Majesty wants to elevate the rank of Unknown Sir, in order to prepare for the enshrinement of the imperial concubine."

Shen Wenqing was silent for a long time before saying quietly, "After all, I didn't listen to your words, and I did it myself."

"It's not too late to wake up now. After all, His Majesty is thinking of a little love. If you don't feel desperate to the end, you still have a chance to make a comeback."

"Use Tang Yun and send me back to the imperial capital. Everyone in the world is waiting to see my jokes. I don't have a chance to make a comeback."

Shen Wenqing smiled bitterly, and the deputy leader's expression became serious, "Master Shen, you and I have worked together for so long, this time you just listen to me, you will have a chance to make a comeback! Others laugh at you, just let them laugh, Let's wait and see who can have the last laugh! If you can't bear even a few jokes, why don't you resign now and return to the imperial capital as a third-rank censor?"

Shen Wenqing was stunned, and the deputy leader continued to persuade, "Think about it, it is much better now than two years ago. Two years ago, you were still trapped in the harem, and you were the queen's male favourite. Your Majesty doesn't like you, Prime Minister Pei." It also suppressed you. At that time, how did you expect that one day you would be able to leave the palace, become a censor, and lead the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River? At that time, what you thought was that you could live one more day in the palace, so live one more day day."

"Now it's just a little bit of setback. It's just that His Majesty has left you in the cold for a while, so you're disheartened? If you give up so easily, then you really have no right to stay by His Majesty's side! You're also not qualified to be in charge of the Yushitai for His Majesty!"

"A good sword has to go through thousands of tempers, and the same is true for a generation of famous officials!"

The deputy leader looked at Shen Wenqing with lightning-like eyes, "Master Shen, I believe in you, and you also have to have confidence in yourself! You used to be too smooth, especially after following His Majesty, the only setback was when the number one scholar changed to Tanhua, Forced to enter the palace. Without setbacks, a strong heart cannot be tempered. Do you know how much Pei Xiang became Pei Xiang, and how much he has experienced? Do you know that he forced his mentor to retire and climbed to the position of National Prime Minister? How many people pointed their noses at him and scolded him? Now, who would dare to scold him again?"

"Pei Xiang is indeed ruthless and ungrateful. He climbed up on the bones of his benefactor, but he not only has means, but also has a heart that does not change when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. Even when he was forced into a desperate situation by His Majesty, he never gave up. And he didn't show his momentary courage to resist His Majesty to the end, but knelt down obediently to plan for the future."

The deputy leader looked at the thoughtful Shen Wenqing, "Your Majesty said you are not as good as him, think about how you are not as good as him?"
