The Palace of Peach and Plum

Li Ying was specially summoned by His Majesty the Emperor for the purpose of suppressing bandits in the Northwest.

Yan Chao was only the second emperor. Although the world had been defeated by the first emperor, in the troubled times of the Central Plains, people would always take advantage of the fire and rob. This is the case with Tarzi in the north, the pirates in the east, and the bandits in the northwest.

The bandits in the northwest have been fighting for several years, and finally killed the big boss of Cunning Rabbit Sanxue, and the bandit's chaos has come to an end. But suppressing bandits is only the first step.

The northwest was originally remote, but it has suffered many years of banditry. The so-called poor villages and bad soils come out of spoilers. If they are not handled well, those spoilers who have no food to eat will be instigated by those who have bad intentions and fall into the hands of banditry.

Many of the bandits killed this time were local people.

Moreover, the big gangsters were wiped out, and the small gangsters on the move, their security is also worrying.

Li Ying was also getting bored in the capital. His Majesty the Emperor happened to find something to do for him, ready to let him replace Ning Xian in the northwest.

On the surface, it means that as a prince, Li Ying can better stabilize people's hearts when he goes to the local area. And Li Ying is also good at using soldiers and has strong abilities, and he can be stable in the local area even with Ning Xian.

Inside, Li Li was still afraid of Ningxian's meritocracy.

Ningxian has been operating in the Northwest for many years and has a great reputation. He wiped out the gangsters and brought a stable life to the local people. If he presided over the local stability and economic work, then the local guess would only know Ningxian and not the emperor.

Like Lu Guogong, those who did not move their nests in the southeast were because the frontiers were not stable, and secondly, Li Li was unable to move. Li Li was not the one who killed the heroes, so he only took steps one step at a time.

It happened that apart from official business, Ling Yun was a fool. His two sons had their hearts on His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty waited for Ling Yun to be in poor health and let his son take over.

Of course, Ning Xian was also relieved when he received the transfer order. Of course, Ning Xian knew that many people impeached him-this military commander would always be impeached by civil servants for his meritorious service. This is the norm. Receipt of the transfer order, it means that the emperor wants to keep himself, maybe he will go up one liter, to

Other places glowed and heated; if he didn't move, he would consider whether the emperor was afraid of his merits, and decided to use the hands of the civil servants to clean up himself.

Because he doesn't go back, the more he stays here, the greater his reputation there will be, and the more civil servants will gather and attack. With so many people impeached, it couldn't be easier to list yourself a few charges.

As for the rebellion... he didn't eat and hold on.

Just after learning of his impeachment, he was transferred back to Beijing, and it was Qin|Lord Qin who took over. Although Qin|Wang said that his relationship with any officials was indifferent, it also proved that he had no particular likes and dislikes for officials, and was the most fair. Let Qin|Wang come, he doesn't have to worry about the wasted effort of so many years, and he doesn't have to worry that someone will collect "criminal evidence" to wear small shoes for himself.

It seems that returning to Beijing this time is the rhythm of promotion and nobility. Ning Xian was very happy, and couldn't help but dig out the good wine he had hidden for a long time and drank it.

This time, Li Ying was interviewed by his brother alone, and the talk was about going to the northwest.

If something is done, Li Ying is of course very happy. But when he remembered that the relationship between just now and Ling Wei had progressed, it would take a long time to separate, and he was a little sad.

He really didn't expect that he would still have a day to be swayed by his children.

Li Li saw that his younger brother hadn't been like before. He was overjoyed when he did something, and guessed his thoughts in his heart.

He just said that if he did it himself, it would definitely have an effect. That kid Jintang must have made great progress in relationship with his younger brother, but he just kept it from himself. Humph, can you hide it? Want to be together? Please.

Li Li watched Li Ying frowning in his spare time, one second...ten seconds...twenty seconds...

"Well, the seeds that Jintang brought have left enough seeds. The soil in the northwest is poor, so I can take them there for sowing. Therefore, I will appoint Jintang as a member of the household, and we will go with you to promote the new Grain, take charge of the farming affairs." Li Li also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Ying's brows unfolded. Come on, let's stop watching the show, it's distressed.

"Yuanwailang is only from the fifth grade..." Li Ying hesitated. Well, let Ling Wei go with him or something, but there is no objection.

"I haven't read his lectures again, but only part-time." Li Li smiled, "This tired little **** will definitely ask when he comes back.

Believe it or not I removed him from the official Hahaha, he is a slacker and doesn't want to do anything. If he didn't help you, he wouldn't go to such a place in the northwest. "

Li Yin was a little embarrassed, but also a little proud: "It's not about letting Jintang go to the ground, and the minister will not let him work hard."

Li Li: "Haha." Seeing his younger brother turned into something like a finger-spinner, I felt a little embarrassed as the older brother.

"Okay, okay, there will be half a year to go. You stay at home first and get ready." At this time, going is to catch the mess. Why have to wait for Ning Xian to smooth the local area and establish the establishment. After that, go again. The emperor was particularly black-hearted at this time, "Oh, but Jintang is gone, who will teach me the children."

For his own happiness, Li Yin did not hesitate to pull people into the pit: "Didn't Zhao Gui and Liu Qi teach very well? This year's new science explorer and the second place are also well-learned. I remember that the second place is also very young. ."

Li Li still sighed: "But Jintang teaches better. Forget it, anyway, there is still half a year, let Jintang write a... Yes, what is the study outline and timetable, and let them follow the teaching. I don't believe it anymore. , I can't teach it this way."

His Majesty the Emperor is also heartbroken. Ling Wei taught the children, all of them were diligent, studious, intelligent and agile; it was the other people's turn to look at their miserable faces, even if His Majesty the Emperor heard the praise, he knew it was against his heart.

In this contrast, they are their own children. Of course, His Majesty thinks that all of his children are good, and it is the teacher's problem.

He also didn't want to think, can Ling Wei teach children the same as people teach children in this era? The modern gold medal kindergarten is truly entertaining and entertaining. Can you listen to the story and listen to the classical Chinese?

To be honest, at such a young age, he could calm down and learn those profound words, Ling Wei felt that the little majesty were already pretty good.

Anyway, he was learning classical Chinese in junior high school. Well, it seems that the children now start to learn in elementary school? But I can't learn the little majesty so deeply.

If the requirements are different, and the methods are different, the effect is naturally different.

Besides, Ling Wei is also quite deceptive. The little princes are used to his teaching method, and feel that it is very happy and easy, and then listen to other teachers to teach. Although they will do their best to listen to lectures and complete their homework very carefully, they must be biased in their hearts. The preference is not to fail to learn from other teachers, but to be more serious and focused in Ling Wei's class.

The result of the study is naturally completely different.

What's more, Ling Wei still has rewards for learning well. There are good stories, fun games, and delicious sweets. Ling Wei will touch his head and be said "very good". How do you think that Ling Wei is more motivated to learn here, right?

Zhao Gui and Liu Qi also wanted to know the gap between each other's teaching. After they watched Ling Wei's class, they instantly understood each other's shortcomings.

However, this is of no use.

Knowing it does not mean it can be done. The praise is still a success. What kind of story game candy... And that rebellious brain touching... Forget it, let them be a pedantic old master quietly.

Anyway, there is Ling Wei now, and it is not their turn to suffer. Well, it's really relieved.

If they knew that Ling Wei would accompany her "husband-in-law" to take office in the northwest and take charge of the Tuntian affairs in half a year, they would probably have gone away for two years.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ling Wei got the news when he got home, and agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Ling Wei's promise so quickly, Li Yin was moved and somewhat puzzled: "Jintang is not afraid of the hardships in the frontier?"

"Northwest? It's not that I've never been there." Ling Wei said, "What's more, it's not to be a soldier, but to be an official, and there is an eagle flying there. How can I endure hardship."

In the northwest, there is a big temperature difference and strong sun and water shortage. But the sun can be strong enough to hold an umbrella and wear a hat, the temperature difference is large, there are ice cubes in the clothes, water shortage and so on...the water is actually there, but it is not enough. But no matter how the points are not enough, the biggest local official is indispensable.

What's more, farming fields and things are all in places with sufficient water, and there is definitely no shortage of water.

Ling Wei also read books describing the Northwest when he was reading. The climate today is different from that of the modern period. The northwest is still humid, and there are more oasis and other things than in the modern period.

Li Yin thinks about it, yes, he is not going to fight, but to develop the economy. Even if he wanted to maintain law and order and wipe out small bandits, that was his business, and Ling Wei would not go to war.

"I won't let Jintang suffer." Li Ying took Ling Wei's hand, picked it up and rubbed his cheek.

Ling Wei blushed and said, "Of course."

The servant who was mixing the tea silently took the kettle and walked out.

After all this time, they haven't found out what's wrong, it's not blindness, but brain damage. Although between the two men...cough cough, these are the two masters and the two masters. They love everything at once. As long as they manage their mouths and do their own thing, it is enough.

When Ling Wei went to work the next day, he announced the "good news" to the prince and the little princes.

The little princes were obviously depressed, only the look of the prince seemed to be planning some horrible idea in their hearts, causing Ling Wei to raise his heart.

Fortunately, there is still half a year, and it is too early to say the parting feeling, after Ling Wei coaxed, the little majesty regained their vitality.

This is why Ling Wei said so early. If you say goodbye, it is estimated that the little princes will be sad for a long time, and will also affect the efficiency of reading. If the teachers who will take over at that time are not Zhao Gui and Liu Qi, they will definitely think that they have stumbled, and if they are small, they will hate themselves. . Speaking earlier, when they spend half a year accepting and getting used to this matter, the mood swings will be less then.

"Jintang, look at the form I made." After class, the prince took out his "homework."

Ling Wei did not expect the prince to complete it so soon: "Have you asked your majesty?"

"I didn't ask when I did it, and I asked it after I did it." The prince also has other officials who assisted him. The information on the surface can also be collected. "Father, the emperor explained it to Gu after reading it, but Gu still listened to it. I don't quite understand."

Ling Wei saw traces of revisions of different notes, which should be the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor.

In the table, the information of both the impeached and the impeached person is carefully listed. His Royal Highness's homework was done very carefully. And the place that His Majesty the Emperor revised was to add notes such as "upright official" and "mentor and apprentice".

"Looking at it alone, in terms of interests, that person has nothing to do with General Ning. According to his background, it should be that he is really a silly student to think that General Ning is indeed wrong." The prince paused. , Continued, "But among that person’s friends, there are family members who are in the same position as General Ning. According to Jintang’s words, there is competition? So maybe that person was impeached not because of selfishness, but can be done.

When the impeachment decision was made, perhaps it was influenced by other people, who may not have no selfish intentions. "

"As for why he can't be dismissed...Looking alone, he is of no use, but he has a good reputation as an official and he is also a good person. According to the points given by his father, his teachers and students are not necessarily high officials. But I asked, they are all well-known scholars among the folks."

"If you demote him, will it arouse other people's discussion?" When the prince said this, he still hesitated. From his point of view, talking is just talking, his father is the emperor, and the emperor is afraid of people talking?

Of course, Ling Wei could see the prince's doubts. Even if he was frightened by his majesty before, but his majesty used that kind of courtier to have great power, and he had no choice but to fool the prince. After the prince knew the truth, he naturally knew that, at least now, there was no official in the court that could make His Majesty the emperor jealous.

So those scholars are just a mouthful, why should they be afraid of mouthful?

"Come on, Your Highness, today, the minister will tell you what is moral kidnapping and what is the effect of public opinion." Ling Wei stuffed the prince with a piece of cake and let the prince eat and talk. He watched the prince grow physically, hungry fast, and study time was long, so when he was teaching, he was sitting and chatting with the prince. He could drink water and eat and go to the toilet. To crawl into his arms and listen.

"Moral kidnapping? Public opinion effect?"

Ling Wei said: "The minister has already talked about "Xunzi" with His Royal Highness. Do you still remember the dialogue between Confucius and Lu Ai in "Xunzi", "The monarch, the boat is also; the commoner, the water. The water is carried. The boat, the water will overthrow the boat. If you think about danger with this, then the danger will not come to an end?'. Xunzi also quoted this sentence in the'kingdom'."

The prince nodded: "Jintang also said that unless foreign enemies invade the country, no matter who will die in the end, the cause must be accompanied by the civil chaos."

"Yes. It is very important to appease the hearts of the people. So why should we pay attention to scholars? It is because scholars are a group of people who can speak and write." Ling Wei smiled, "From a recent perspective, Your Highness I must know that even if your majesty is wise, there is always a process of governing the country. People always go from poor to rich. In the end, there will be people who can’t get enough to eat, and some places are still very poor. The country is strong and prosperous. Not necessarily everyone can realize it right away. So, the same is poverty, why some people will rise up, and some people will wait silently? Most of the time, this is the reason for'hope'. For example, Your Highness If you have nothing to eat now and are hungry, Ken

Will not be flustered. Because His Royal Highness knows that there will be food soon. "

"Jintang's meaning is that the people who are still in poverty are still very stable because they have hope in their hearts, knowing that the emperor is a bright emperor, and knowing that the emperor is working hard to govern the country. Now they can’t get enough food, but As long as the emperor is on the throne, he will always be full."

"His Royal Highness is right. This rebellion or something, but it will be annihilated. If you don't push people to the extreme, who will do those things? At this time, reputation is a very important thing. Scholars can speak and write, Although many scholars can’t see clearly the working people, ordinary people respect scholars. Not only do scholars turn their tongues, they like to say, they also write books and even write scripts and operas. Others may not know what you have done. But they will listen to it, and they will believe what they heard." Ling Wei cited a number of examples. The good people who were originally written in the history books were described as bad people by the opera, and the image of the bad people was determined by the people.

There was no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at this time, so Ling Wei could only move the example of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to his "home country". That Zhou Yu was hacked, "Three Qi Zhou Yu" or something, hacked Zhou Yu into a conceited and talented, narrow-minded, who was actually angered to death. In fact, Zhou Yu was a broad-minded and talented person, but he was jealous of talents and died early.

Ling Wei also adapted some examples of people who were forced to death by "public opinion" in modern society and told them to the prince. Although the people who were driven to death by the "public opinion" were all small people, it can also be seen that it was terrible. And some companies are almost closed down by unscrupulous public opinion, and that is even more worthy of the Prince's listening.

It is not uncommon for people in some closed places to hear the rumors that the ruler is a bad person, and then continue to raise uprisings or fall into the grass and bring great losses to the country.

It is not right to sing praises too much, but if you don’t sing praises, and now there is no information network as developed in modern society, how do ordinary people know whether the emperor is good or bad? Only by knowing that his emperor is good can the people feel safe.

Seeing the prince thoughtfully, Ling Wei continued: "From a long distance, this history was written by scholars. And many people don't even believe in official history, but in wild history. That wild history... is almost like a script. His Royal Highness also wants to be a Mingjun. In addition to Guotai Min'an's sense of responsibility, his reputation will be immortal and immortal. Isn't it an important reason?"

The prince nodded embarrassedly.

"His Royal Highness has nothing to be embarrassed about. In this life, the word fame and fortune cannot escape. No matter how noble people are, they will also have a happy name.

To promote the world, the ambition that goes down in history. If there is no such ambition and no ideal, how can there be motivation to do things? "Ling Wei said, "That's why His Royal Highness wants to be named in the history books and become a Mingjun like His Majesty. This is a good thing. But it is because those scholars write indiscriminately and throw sewage, and after a hundred years, they are misunderstood by others, and that is so embarrassing. "

The prince was depressed: "Can't you let them not write?"

"The mouth of defending the people is better than defending Sichuan."

The prince sighed: "Okay. I know the effect of public opinion, what is the moral kidnapping?"

"His Royal Highness was forced by public opinion and had to do something that was inconsistent with his own heart and even the facts. That is moral kidnapping." Ling Wei gave another example, "The minister has encountered such a thing before. Someone His father ate, drank, and gambled, never caring about his wife and children at home. If he was angry outside, he would still be domestically abused. His wife and children were often harmed. Later, the family was too poor, so the father donated all the money and ran away. . But the wife is a very good person. She worked hard to raise the child, and the child was also upright, and finally became a high-ranking official. Then the father came to his child and asked for money to support."

The prince's eyes widened: "Did that person give it to him in the end? This kind of person should be beaten out!"

"Yes. But if that person doesn't support his father, other people say that he is not filial. Even though he has suffered a lot before, everyone sympathizes with the weak. Those people stand up and talk, saying that he is not good. Didn’t he become a high official? His father is so pitiful, why don’t you forgive him.” Ling Wei also cited many biological parents to abandon their children. When the children grow up rich, they use filial piety to force the children to admit their relatives and give money. "This is moral kidnapping. Obviously it is a group of people who can only slobber, if things happen to them, haha. But there is no way, public opinion, if the high official has a reputation for unfilial piety, he can be killed. He was justly impeached."

The prince held his breath: "So even if he knows that that person is pedantic and can't do anything, it's because he is an upright official, he is a good person, and he has many so-called clean friends and fellows, so the emperor can not only blame him, but also pinch his nose. He was promoted."

"Being an emperor, in many cases, you can't do what you want." Ling Wei touched the prince's head, "and the official position given to him by your majesty...well."

The prince suddenly realized. The official position given to him by the emperor father seemed to have no real power except to talk about it. That's it, that's it. There are many official positions in each rank, and which official position is assigned to which person is originally exquisite.

"Know people and use them well." Ling Wei touched the prince's head.

The prince nodded: "No wonder Father said that if you think he is too annoying and can't stand him, there are other good grades, such as book repair."

Ling Wei: "..."

Your Majesty, is it really good for you to teach the prince like this?
