Chapter 511: Clever words, seductive words, adou
The mutual loyalty between Emperor Zhaolie and Marquis Shouting and Marquis Xixiang of the Han Dynasty is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth.
This is political correctness and cannot be shaken.
As for the emperor, what he needs most is the loyalty of his subordinates. This is also politically correct.
So this book "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness" really scratched Adou's itch.
“It’s just that on the cover of this book, why is Guan...Laojunhou painted on it?”
Adou asked with some confusion.
“Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say.”
Feng Yong said respectfully.
Then he started to activate his special skills, "May I ask your Majesty, do you know what it means to govern a big country like cooking a small fish?"
"Of course I know. The prime minister once said that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh fish. He can use "Mao Shi" as an annotation: If you cook the fish in trouble, it will break; if you treat the people in trouble, they will fall apart. If you know how to cook fish, you will know how to govern the people. It means that you need to be careful when governing a country. Don’t disturb the people easily.”
“For example, when levying corvee services, you must know in advance the burden that the people can bear. When the people cannot bear it, you need to stop it. Do not disturb the people excessively. Excessive efforts will distract the people. Therefore, when the king is in power, he must be diligent and thrifty and not indulge in pleasure.”
Adou answered honestly.
“Your Majesty is really smart and eager to learn.”
Feng Yong first flattered him, which made Adou feel a sense of pleasure.
Then he continued, "In Yong's school, this statement has another meaning. I wonder if your majesty has ever heard of it?"
“Is there another meaning? Is it the wise opinion of Feng Langjun’s master? May I ask what other explanations there are for this statement?”
After hearing this, Adou quickly asked with interest.
The master of Shanmen must have another opinion.
"Governing a big country is like cooking small fish, which means running a country is like cooking small fish. If you want to cook delicious food, you must not only be careful, but also pay attention to controlling the heat and carefully select the seasonings. Don't be careless."
After hearing this, Adou seemed to have some understanding and said in agreement, "This can be regarded as another explanation."
"Your Majesty, this book "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness" is about the life of the old Lord and Hou Zhongyi." Feng Yong quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Back then, Marquis Huaiyin had a crotch humiliation, and Marquis Qu Ni (Chen Ping) had a personal misconduct. , are not welcomed by the world."
"However, Emperor Gaozu abandoned his shortcomings and used his strong points. In the first place, he used the Marquis of Huaiyin to ambush Xiang Yu on all sides and surrounded Xiang Yu under the Gaixia, thus becoming an emperor. Later, he used the Marquis of Qu Ni to relieve the siege of Baideng, and only then did the Han Dynasty flourish."
“Even if Emperor Gaozu hated Yongchi, he would still grant him the title of marquis. If your Majesty wants to revive the Han Dynasty, you must learn from Emperor Gaozu’s skill in employing people and his shortcomings in tolerance.”
“When cooking fresh food, you must carefully select the seasonings. Just like the pastures and workshops, they are delicious seasonings for governing the country, and this loyalty is also an indispensable and high-quality seasoning!”
"Yes, that's right." After hearing this, Adou nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Feng's words are reasonable, and these are great words of kindness."
I remembered that I had been quite resentful about Guan Erbo's loss to Jingzhou, so much so that I didn't want to see the Guan family. However, I forgot that Guan Erbo had been loyal to the late emperor throughout his life. Even after he was defeated and captured, he still refused Cao Cao's high-ranking official and generous salary. With the golden seal, he ran back to the late emperor.
Recalling that the Guan family was in decline a few years ago, it was probably because of my own dislike of it.
My life in the palace has finally gotten better in the past few years. It was when Feng Guan returned to Jincheng alone from Hanzhong and brought him the news of his share of the workshop and pasture.
This Guan family truly deserves to be a loyal and loyal family.
Thinking like this, he opened the cover in his hand and saw that the first page said the story of Taoyuan San's sworn friendship. His heart was moved and he looked at Feng Yong, "Where did Feng Langjun find this book? It seems like it is New book? Whose name is Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he started to sweat slightly on his forehead, "These books were first handwritten copies circulated from the streets of Nanxiang, and then they were collected into volumes. This Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is a bit mysterious. His book is written, but his person is nowhere to be seen.”
Adou nodded, but he was a little unwilling to do so, "Can't we find out over there in Nanxiang?"
"Your Majesty, this is a bit difficult. Nowadays, Nanxiang is becoming more and more prosperous, but with it, the number of people coming and going is also increasing. There is a mixture of good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad."
"Last year, there were countless gangsters who were sent to the mines in the mountains to do labor camps because they committed crimes in Nanxiang. In addition, in the past few years, the imperial court has been conducting household registration checks and found many blind homeless households. , and a lot of new people have been added.”
“Many of these new people were distributed to Hanzhong, and Nanxiang also received a lot. Who knows what their true identity was before?”
After hearing Feng Yong’s explanation, Adou sighed and said, “I thought it was a bit simplistic.”
As he spoke, he patted the book in his hand and said, "As soon as this book comes out, the name of Guan Laojunhou's loyalty will naturally be widely spread among the people."
“Your Majesty, isn’t it a good thing to educate your people to be loyal?”
Feng Yong asked tentatively.
"Of course it's a good thing. But what if..." Adou's eyes flickered, "Well, back then the Taoyuan Three were sworn brothers, as well as the late Emperor and Mr. Zhang."
"Oh, yes, yes! The late emperor's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world, and Mr. Zhang is also a man of unparalleled loyalty and righteousness." Feng Yong said quickly, "Ahem! I don't know what Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng thought, just writing Guan Lao Junhou, you are really biased."
"Your Majesty, why don't we change this unparalleled loyalty?"
Feng Yong tried another sentence.
“Change? How to change?”
Adou suddenly failed to hide his thoughts, and Feng Yong tried to reveal them.
Feng Tuluo was over forty years old in his previous lives combined. He had seen a strange world in his previous life, and in this life he had battled wits and courage with demons throughout the ages. Only then did he barely pass the test and gain a firm foothold.
As for Adou, although he was born in troubled times, he was blessed. After he truly became sensible, Liu Bei had already laid a stable foundation.
He inherited the empire that Liu Bei had worked so hard to build without even experiencing a palace fight. Although he was frightened at the beginning, he had a father-in-law to protect him.
Coupled with Adou's generous character, who is the opponent who has experienced the extremely complex "Smart Talk and Seductive Feng Langjun"?
"Your Majesty, this book "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness" is about matters related to the old monarch, but it naturally also involves the late emperor, but most of the time it is vaguely ignored."
"I always thought that Lan Ling smiled and laughed. It was precisely because it involved the late emperor that I didn't dare to write more, so I focused on Guan Laojunhou. If we annotate this book, we can compare the late emperor and Zhang Lao If the kings and princes also write it, wouldn’t it be possible to turn it into another book?”
When Adou heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but the shame of this era still made him a little embarrassed, "Isn't this bad? We can't find this Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng. If he tampered with other people's works without consent, it would be very serious. It’s the way of a gentleman.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he quickly explained, "No, no, no. Your Majesty, "Zidian Qingshuang Ji" written by Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng originally had several endings."
“Finally, after it has been circulating in Nanxiang for so long, I picked out an ending that everyone liked the most and printed it. Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng didn’t even see him jump out and say anything inappropriate!”
"If Your Majesty feels it is inappropriate, then we will annotate this book and compile it into another book. We will also print this one. There is no conflict between the two books."
"Do not conflict?"
Adou asked again, obviously wanting to confirm with Feng Yong.
"It doesn't conflict, it definitely doesn't conflict. Don't there also be many annotated versions of the Book of Songs and Zuo Zhuan handed down from generation to generation?"
"That's right." Adou nodded, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "But who should I turn to for annotation?"
“The person who visits the middle palace makes Xu Ci suitable.”
"Why? I remember Xu Xun, Xu Ci's son, but he wasn't before..."
“Well, Your Majesty, that was all in the past. Besides, if you don’t avoid your enemies when doing things externally, and don’t avoid your enemies when doing things internally, how can you be such a stingy person?”
Feng Yong said without blushing, "Xu Cibo has learned a lot. Although he is not known as a virtuous person, he is believed to be a scholar for a while. If it were anyone else, he might not be willing to annotate this book."
Just because he is not very virtuous and knowledgeable, he is suitable for this job.
Otherwise, if a literati with integrity came over and saw that he was going to annotate this kind of book, he would probably overturn the table on the spot.
When Adou heard this, he suddenly realized, "Yes! Moreover, he is now a member of the Central Palace of Great Changqiu. He belongs to the Central Palace. It is easier to find him than to find others."
After a pause, he asked somewhat uncertainly, "But, will he agree?"
"Your Majesty, he will definitely agree. The Xu family also contributed to the smooth transportation of Jiaozhou's jaggery to the Han Dynasty."
Xu Ci had a friendship with Shi Xie from Jiaozhou, and Xu Xun became Feng Yong's younger brother last year. The Zhang family of Wu County was able to harvest sugar cane in Jiaozhou for primary extraction of jaggery, and transport the jaggery to Shu. The Xu family also used it. gained strength.
A Dou’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard about candy.
This brown sugar is really delicious!
“So it turns out that Xu Aiqing was also involved?”
"Yes, His Majesty also said just now that the Order of Visitors from the Central Palace belongs to the officials of the Central Palace. Now Xu Ci is participating in editing the classics. When the classics are really compiled, won't he also have a contribution?"
“Yes, yes, you have the credit!” Adou said knowingly.
"If Xu Yezhe doesn't want people to know that he annotated this book, he can also follow the example of Lanling Xiaoxiao and use a name, wouldn't that be enough?"
“Wonderful!” Adou praised, “This is a good method.”
Adou spoke in person, so it was not considered slandering the late emperor, but Zhang Fei was also involved.
So Feng Yong said hypocritically, "In addition to the late emperor, this matter also involves Zhang Laojunhou. I just don't know how Zhang Junhou will view this matter?"
"How could such a good thing happen..." Adou paused for a moment, and then said, "I will talk to Cainiang about this matter by then. I think it won't be a big problem. As for Guan Shizhong..."
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Yong, suddenly understood, and said with a smile, "It seems that Guan Shizhong has known about this for a long time, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise. It is precisely because Guan Junhou knew about this that he felt the need to inform Your Majesty."
Hmm, this Guan family is indeed loyal, Adou nodded again to confirm.
“Feng Langjun, do you think you should tell your prime minister about such a big matter?”
The good baby Adou thought of another question.
"Your Majesty, it is natural to inform the Prime Minister about these matters, but it is not the time yet. After Xu Ci explains it, let the Nanxiang rappers try rapping in Nanxiang, and finally select the jokes that the people like to listen to the most. , compiled into a book."
"When everything is ready, we can discuss it with the Prime Minister. Otherwise, with the Prime Minister's temperament, once he agrees to this matter, he will definitely have to worry about it. The Prime Minister is already very tired from worrying about state affairs. We can do it ourselves. It's okay, so don't bother him anymore."
This is the best opportunity to seize the right to speak from the aristocratic family. Once Zhuge Lao Yao knows about this plan, he is afraid that he will forcefully intervene again.
It is better to wait until things come to fruition and then tell him about it, and then let him lay out the specific operations later.
Now if you can make him worry less, just worry less. Just think of it as a way to repay Huang Yueying and his wife for protecting her. After all, she is half an aunt and uncle.
Adou hesitated for a moment, "Wouldn't this be bad?"
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will always take charge of this matter, and the Prime Minister will definitely not blame you.”
Look, this is the consequence of being protected in the greenhouse all the time, without any opinion at all.
Seeing that Adou still looked undecided, Feng Yong could only say, "This matter has not yet been decided. Zhang Junhou's family still doesn't know what they think. Why don't your majesty inform the queen first?"
“Yes, why didn’t I think of asking...”
Before he finished speaking, Adou immediately paused again and coughed, "That's fine, the matter has not yet been decided. I will go back to the palace and talk to Cainiang first to see what she says."
Hey, raking your ears!
Don’t think that I don’t know what you mean if you only say half of it.
“Your Majesty, look, we’ve finished talking about the business, and it’s getting late. Your Majesty, would you like some food? There’s not much else in the house, but I can barely manage to get this food.”
“Fengzhuang’s food is famous throughout Jincheng.”
As soon as Adou heard this, a smile appeared on his chubby face, "I heard that this noble son was reluctant to leave when he arrived at Zhuangzi. I have to taste it today."
“Your Majesty, just as this caramel has come out, there are several new dishes in my house, all made with caramel as seasoning, and they taste pretty good.”
Speaking of the rough sugar of Jiaozhou just now, the light released by Abda's small eyes is bright. Feng Yong can clearly see it. Today, let him taste what is sweet and sour spine, braised pork ribs, pulling the shredded head ...
As for eating, drinking and having fun, Feng Yong can naturally arrange Adou's affairs well.
“Candy be used as a condiment?”
A Dou swallowed his saliva as expected, "That's good."
“Your Majesty, please wait a moment, Yong will go down and make arrangements right away.”
Out of the door, he was about to turn to the kitchen when someone suddenly grabbed him from behind.
"who?"
Feng Yong turned his head.
"it's me."
I saw Guan Xing appear from behind.
“Brother? What are you doing here?”
Feng Yong asked affectionately.
This brother’s shout made Guan Xing’s eyes twitch, “Waiting for you.”
“Brother, what do you want from me?”
Guan Xing looked left and right, as if he was an underground worker, and he heard him whisper, "Can you pass on one more copy of the child-birth master's secret method?"
"Don't you have Sanniang? Why didn't you give it to Brother?"
"What do you think? How can Sanniang have the nerve to tell me such things?"
Guan Xing wished he could slap Feng Yong in the face.
Feng Yong suddenly realized that it was haha, the joy of the boudoir...
Before he could speak, a deep voice suddenly came from beside him, "Two copies, I want it too."
