Chapter 259 Touring the Mountains and Playing in the Water(1/3)
After entering the palace, under the leadership of the eunuch general manager, Ping'an waited outside the imperial study room.
"Governor Left, you can come here later. Let's send a message to our house. Your Highness will immediately call the Lord in and meet you!"
Upon hearing this, Ping'an nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
"Father-in-law walked slowly."
The eunuch general manager glanced at Ping'an, then walked into the imperial study with confidence.
"Your Highness, the left governor is already waiting outside the imperial study room, you..."
Upon hearing this news, the wolf in Fang Shiyu's hand paused, and then said, "Xuan."
Seeing this, the eunuchs and general manager hurriedly shouted outside the imperial study room: "Governor Xuan Zuo is safe to meet!"
In the blink of an eye, a sound of footsteps came, and the left governor Ping'an appeared in the imperial study room.
He lifted up his robe and knelt in front of Fang Shiyu respectfully.
"The old minister has seen Your Highness, long live Your Highness!"
Seeing that Ping'an was coming, Fang Shiyu immediately put down the wolf hair in his hand and walked quickly to Ping'an's side. He helped him up and helped Ping'an up.
"What are you doing? I'll call you into the palace, but I just want to discuss something with you."
Here, seeing that His Highness and the Left Governor Ping'an had already started chatting, the eunuchs and supervisors there also tactfully brought all the servants in the imperial study room and closed the door of the imperial study room to avoid the partition walls.
There were no one else in the imperial study room, so Ping'an dared to raise his head and look at Fang Shiyu who was above him.
Looking at Fang Shiyu's frowning frown, Ping An saw that he was bored. "Your Highness, you should still pay attention to your health!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Shiyu smiled bitterly.
He thought too, but those things lingered in his mind, making him unable to rest well, let alone take care of his health!
"If your highness has any worries, you might as well talk to the old minister and see if the old minister can solve his problems!"
Hearing this, Fang Shiyu asked Ping An to sit down and then sat next to Ping An.
"Recently, I have been worried about who is on the grassland. I wonder if you have someone to choose?"
Going to the grassland?
This incident stumped Ping'an. Fang Shiyu has always been the one who made the decision on this matter. Suddenly, he asked him, but he didn't know what to do.
"I have been delaying this matter again and again. Now it is imminent. It is impossible to continue to delay it. Be sure to find a suitable candidate!"
Whether it is Fang Shiyu or Ping An, they all understand that the matter of finding someone to go on a mission to the grassland has entered an urgent stage.
If the people from the court cannot be successfully sent to the grassland, the people on the grassland may have some abnormal movement!
"The old minister has never thought about this matter. Please give your highness some time to let the old minister think carefully!"
Seeing that Ping An did not refuse, he agreed in one go, Fang Shiyu breathed a little relieved.
Managing such a huge country is not an easy task, let alone being below one person and above ten thousand people makes him feel so powerless.
"Your Highness, don't panic. At this time, the most taboo thing is to the court to be in chaos. If the court is united and able to show a calm attitude, even the people on the grassland will definitely not dare to act rashly!"
After a long period of silence, the Yu Study room was quiet so that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
After a while, Ping'an finally looked up and looked at Fang Shiyu.
"The old minister has already thought of the best candidate for the grassland!" Ping An's eyes were filled with light, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.
"Let me tell me!" Seeing Ping An's appearance, Fang Shiyu also developed a strong interest in the candidates that Ping An said.
At the same time, he also wanted to see if Ping An's thoughts would coincide with his thoughts!
"The old minister believes that the people sent by the court represent the entire court when they go on the grassland this time, so the Zhang family should be sent!"
As soon as this said, Ping An stared at Fang Shiyu in front of him.
Although doing this is a very disrespectful act, Ping An knows that in private, Fang Shiyu does not taboo these things.
At the same time, Ping An also wanted to see whether his proposal mentioned Fang Shiyu's heart and whether it could solve the crisis that Fang Shiyu faced.
At this moment, the alarm was completely lifted, and there was even a smile on Fang Shiyu's face.
"I don't know why the Zhang family was elected. If it were noble, it would be impossible for the Zhang family to come to the stage. Why did they insist on letting the Zhang family go on the grassland?"
Fang Shiyu’s question was a sharp point, and he pointed out the key points in Ping An’s words at once.
"Reporting to your highness, sending the Zhang family to the scene must have given enough face to those wild tribes on the grassland."
Upon hearing this, Fang Shiyu nodded repeatedly, and the smile on her face became stronger and stronger.
"I didn't expect that you and I actually thought of going together." Then I laughed loudly.
"Apart from that, I have no better candidate!"
The ministers in the court, no matter who they send, may be bullied by the grassland tribes when they go to the grassland tribes. After all, they are an uncivilized nomadic people and do not want the people in the Central Plains to be so enlightened.
The Zhang family has been urging Zhang Man to expand the power of the Zhang family in recent days.
But although Zhang Man and Fang Shiyu are not as deep as the sea of love, Zhang Man also has her own thoughts and knows what it means to protect herself, so she never mentions the matters of the Zhang family in front of Fang Shiyu.
I guess this was also seen from the moment he proposed to let the Zhang family go to the grassland, Ping'an could see that Fang Shiyu really thought so.
This association can't help but remind Ping An of what happened recently.
Although Fang Shiyu had ordered the circumstance of the things Zhang family did when they met with Zhang Man, they were still vivid in the process.
The most wrong thing the Zhang family did was to make trouble on Tai Sui’s head!
Although Zhang Man came from the Zhang family, she actually married into the royal palace and became Mrs. Fang Shiyu.
Of course, Zhang Man would not place all her hope on the Zhang family.
With this skill, why didn’t she support her son?
"Thank you, it seems that it is correct to call you into the palace late at night. You are the one who knows me the best!" Fang Shiyu sighed, then showed a relaxed expression.
Fang Shiyu nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but admire Ping Ansheng in his heart. He is indeed the person he likes to think deeply and what he said is very thoughtful.
"Why don't you say it anymore? I think you think it's pretty good to continue talking." He gently tapped the table a few times and signaled that Ping An could continue talking.
Ping'an felt that what he said should be satisfying Fang Shiyu, otherwise he would not have let him continue. Although he is Fang Shiyu's uncle, after all, he is His Highness and must not say anything disrespectful to him. Otherwise, if His Highness is dissatisfied, it would be a loss of mind.
"It's a big deal to go to the grassland. I still think you have to think about it for the long term, otherwise you may offend other people in the court. Your Highness, do you think I'm right?" Ping An thought so in his heart, but he didn't know if Your Highness was like his thoughts, so he didn't dare to make a decision secretly.
Fang Shiyu felt that the person around her was very smart, and it would be perfect if he was placed by his side as a military advisor who could give advice.
His idea was similar to Ping An, and he was also planning to send Zhang Man's people to the place. Moreover, the people on Zhang Man's side could be said to be very smart and capable, which would definitely bring great help to the grassland.
Moreover, everyone on Zhang Man is strong and has strong body. Some of them are based on literature, but their brains are very smart. They can write poetry and give very big suggestions on policies.
And what’s more important is that choosing Zhang Man’s people will not offend people. If it’s a royal family member, it may cause discussion in the court, and he will say that His Highness is partial.
Everyone in the royal family is a relative of Fang Shiyu, such as nephews or immediate relatives. If you say this, it will probably cause dissatisfaction from the court and make the sons of the ministers not have the opportunity to develop.
This will also cause a large number of talents to be lost, so the dynasty will be destroyed. This has laid a very large foundation for the subsequent development.
"So what do you think? My idea is very simple. Why not talk about your opinion, and then we will use your opinion to make the final decision, otherwise we won't be able to wait for too long."
Ping'an was a little happy. He thought that His Highness would not listen at all, but he did not expect that he would listen. This proves that His Highness agrees with her very much, which can be regarded as a great encouragement to him.
"If it is a royal family, they will think that they have received great grace from Your Highness, so they will not only not cherish it, but also use it to make a fuss. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?" Ping An whispered very quietly when he said this, afraid that people outside would hear it because they were careful of the walls.
Fang Shiyu nodded in agreement. He had already made this decision in his heart, so he would send people from Zhang Man to the place, so that they would not be very unbalanced in their hearts.
"Will the people from Zhang Man who are not like this at all? You have to know that many of the people on Zhang Man who are from the royal family!" Although Fang Shiyu already had this answer in her heart, she still wanted to try how smart Ping'an is.
Ping An was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and prepared to answer.
"Although there are a lot of people on Zhang Man's side who are royal families, their ambitions are not greater than those of the royal family, and many of them are from civilians. They know what kind of life they should live, and their lives are also very cost-effective. Everyone knows this." Ping An said with a sarcasm.
This is definitely not a fiction, but a well-known thing in the court, and they are ruled by the patriarch, so no one will choose to usurp the throne or cause internal strife. He is very relieved about this but he just doesn't know what to say.
Zhang Man's background is also very not simple. It is because the patriarch made great contributions that she successfully became the princess. Moreover, this family is very loyal, and many warriors from the previous dynasty came to work hard for the royal family.
Fang Shiyu felt that he didn't have to work hard, and he didn't care about this matter. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, he thinks the most important thing is to solve the problem of the grassland at present.
The people on the grassland were all a bit reckless but very frank and very easy to communicate. He must have sent a good eloquent past. Although the list had been drafted at that time, he felt that it would be impossible to change it temporarily.
"Your Highness, I absolutely have no selfishness. I just want to tell the truth, because suitable people are often more outstanding than unsuitable people, right?" Ping An said with a very solemn expression.
Fang Shiyu glanced at him with praise. Although he didn't show any expression on the surface, there were already ten thousand horses galloping in his heart. As expected, he was quite good at seeing people. I'm afraid he would be lucky to meet such a good adviser!
He had some concerns in his heart, but he didn't plan to say anything after hearing Ping'an say so, because he was still afraid that the people in the royal family would hold a grudge against this, so many people set their sights on going to the grassland.
This is a very big project. If you can get the attention of Your Highness, it will probably be that the ancestral tomb will be smoked. Maybe Fang Shiyu will be happy to double your official position. Those people may think so in their hearts, and they all regard Fang Shiyu as a fool.
But they didn't know that Fang Shiyu was thinking very clearly, otherwise how could he sit in his current position? Whoever does not have some means and extraordinary talents? Could it be that a fool can become His Highness like a puppet? This is obviously impossible.
"Then let's say that." He said, and then wrote a few words on the memorial, which roughly said that the people from Zhang Man's family would go to the grass.
This is the best way now. Ping An is very excited. Your Highness can believe that he is the glory of his life for so many years!
"Your Highness, I have another thing to say, Your Highness will definitely not cause hatred in this way. Because Your Highness did not choose the people around you, but chose the people around Zhang Man, nor were other concubines. Other ministers would definitely think that Your Highness was extraordinary ingenuity!" Ping'an said with a smile.
Fang Shiyu nodded and said that Ping An was very good. He had been worried about it for so many days but had not had a good night's sleep. This way, he could finally have a good night's sleep tonight. Otherwise, if this problem could not be solved, he would probably be worried for several days.
Now that the problem has been solved, the big stone in his heart has also been put down.
