Chapter 1520 The New and the Old
"It's right for Master Long to be in Liaodong now, but I know what Master Long to be thinking."
Wang An was proud of his two points.
Lu Youde looked at Wang An in doubt. Knowing that Wang An is a big celebrity around the emperor, but if you want to say that you know what the emperor is thinking... do you think of yourself very high?
"I'll ask you first, do you agree with the decree that Emperor Long Sui has just issued?" Wang An asked slowly.
"If it's just the meaning of the prime minister, then I really don't agree with it. I think the prime minister uses public interest for personal gain; but if it's the emperor's intention, it's a different matter. Besides, didn't the emperor clearly point out that he wants to shock the pirates? This meaning will be sublimated at once."
Whether it is Lu Youde's wrong to others or his admiration for the emperor, in Wang An's opinion, it is no different.
In short, since it was the emperor's will, Lu Youde had nothing to say and agreed with it.
"The chief minister dispatched the navy warship in front, and the emperor's will be behind, right?" Wang An asked again.
"yes."
“The Prime Minister’s decision is my strong suggestion.”
"you?"
"Otherwise, even if you think about it, you won't do it. As long as you do it, you will definitely be discussed for public or personal gain."
"So, Eunuch Wang and the Emperor really thought of going together?"
Wang An smiled slightly, nodded proudly, and took the opportunity to say, "Yei Sheng, I definitely don't want you to guard the border because of impeachment of the chief minister."
"But Feng Bao said that was the Queen's idea."
"The Empress just asked Eunuch Feng to stop you from making trouble, and said to scare you."
"What does the Empress really say?" Lu Youde looked two-pointed doubtful. After all, just now, more than 2,000 people were captured because of the queen's words, and they were all sent to Nuergandusi to guard the border.
"How dare I talk nonsense?"
"Since the prince said that neither the emperor nor the queen wanted me to guard the border, I would not apologize to Feng Bao." Lu Youde said firmly.
"But have you forgotten that Eunuch Feng is the companion of Eunuch, and the Empress's most trusted confidant? For the sake of Eunuch and Empress, you should also apologize to Eunuch Feng, and no matter what you say, you should not insult Eunuch Feng's ugly words."
"If you apologize to him, don't need to guard the border?"
"You said that you had a conflict with Eunuch Feng, didn't you make the Empress embarrassed? The Empress didn't want you to guard the border, but how can you appease Eunuch Feng?" Wang An did not hesitate and took it step by step.
Lu Youde pondered without saying a word.
"Does the more severe the Queen punish you, the happier Eunuch Feng will be?" Wang An asked again.
"Of course." Lu Youde blurted out, "He wanted me to be happy when I died."
"Look, isn't the problem? Punishing you is not what the Empress wishes; if you don't punish you, you can't explain to Eunuch Feng, right?"
"Then let me take the initiative to apologize, which will solve it?"
"Yes, sure." Wang An said firmly.
"But I don't understand." Lu Youde shook his head.
"Listen to me, I will say it slowly. You take the initiative to apologize to Eunuch Feng. The more attentive you are, will you be the stingy if he punishes you?"
"No matter what, he will definitely not be able to swallow this tone. He will punish me openly and secretly."
What this means is that whether you apologize actively or not, it will not change Feng Bao’s hatred for him.
Wang An slapped his chest with confidence: "As long as you take the initiative to apologize to Eunuch Feng, I promise that the Empress will not let you guard the border."
Lu Youde asked in a flash: "Is it true that the other way around?"
"Well, don't you take the initiative to apologize and make the Empress embarrassed. Would you let the Empress offend Eunuch Feng for you?"
"I understand." Lu Youde nodded understandingly.
"Then do you know what to do next?"
"Go to the Sili Supervisory Bureau tomorrow morning to apologize to Eunuch Feng. You must be sincere in your attitude. No matter whether Eunuch Feng beats me or scolds me, you will suffer. Is it okay?"
This is the first time Lu Youde calls "Feng Bao" and "Eunuch Feng".
"It's better to take the initiative to defend the border." Wang An instructed again.
"Why?"
"The more polite you are, the more sincere you are, the more beneficial it will be to you. Anyway, it will be decided to stay with the Queen, not the Eunuch Feng, just show your performance."
"I understand." Lu Youde nodded in cooperation.
Wang An smiled and said, "When I saw you cursing Eunuch Feng during the day, I thought you were very difficult to date, and it turned out that it was not ha."
"I am a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. If you like it, you like it, such as the emperor; if you don't like it, you don't like it, such as Feng Bao. Unlike many people who disobey the selves, they have one thing behind the scenes." Lu Youde explained seriously, "The prince gave me a good impression, so I can listen to you when I talk to you, and I will also listen to your opinions. I am not a person who is ignorant of politeness."
"I respect you!" Wang An gave in sincerely.
"Don't worry, since Eunuch Wang came for the sake of the emperor and the queen, I promised Eunuch Wang again, and I will definitely perform well tomorrow." Lu Youde promised.
"Thank you! Thank you! It's not too late, so I should go back. Oh, don't tell anyone that I've come to see you." Before leaving, Wang An instructed again, "Let people think you are sincere and take the initiative to apologize to Eunuch Feng."
Lu Youde nodded repeatedly.
...
At this moment, Feng Bao was still thinking about sending Lu Youde to the border.
Didn’t he make a decision?
He will definitely not be merciful when dealing with Lu Youde.
But this incident during the day also reminded him of another question, why do some people dare to insult him in person? Is it because he is really annoying, or is his influence gradually declining without realizing it?
This is a problem he needs to face in the end.
After all, he is already an "old man", and he has already felt the impact of the "new man" on him.
This time the emperor went to Liaodong and Chen Ju, the person he was with him, not Feng Bao.
The emperor and the queen rely more and more on Wang An, which seems to be able to explain some problems.
If this is true, as a former "heroic figure", there is no need to change the world to prove the suffering of old age. If you go to the altar, don't go down to earth easily, so as not to find that mortals are not worthy of coming to the world.
We should consider when we will retreat. We cannot always occupy the position of Sili Supervisor's printing, and we need to give more opportunities to the young people behind us.
It would be great to learn from Zhang Juzheng to retreat behind the scenes. He could not only continue to serve the emperor, but also not be run or resentful, and live a peaceful life. At a certain age, isn’t this the life that Zhang yearns the most?
Or you can learn from Zhang Jing and do things that almost never offend people, but can bring hope and benefits to countless people. The elderly will no longer have to worry about their lives, they will not be lonely, and they will not have to worry about revenge.
In the worst case, you can learn from Hu Yixian, be a consultant, set up an association, etc. There is no shortage of people or happiness around you, and you can even learn from him to adopt a few stray children, so that you will have a sustenance in your life in the future.
