To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 217 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

Nie Dan seemed to have guessed You Miao's intentions, so he didn't say anything, just said lightly: "Brother Yu's own business. Don't worry about my brother. Your husband has high hopes for you. If you worry about your elder brother, why not worry about your third brother?" .”

"Worry about what the third brother is doing, what good is he..." You Miao hadn't finished his sentence, and suddenly thought that what Nie Dan said was the same. The princes and princes of the Tian family in the past all got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and Zhao Chao was not young. Not even a princess.Now he is enthroned as emperor, not to mention married.You Miao dared to say anything else, but she dared not say anything about persuading Zhao Chao to get married.Although You Miao is not sure whether Zhao Chao will get married because of himself, but if Mao mentions it rashly, Zhao Chao will definitely let You Miao get married, so don't shoot yourself in the foot.

"The affairs of the Tian family." You Miao performed Tai Chi and said, "As a courtier, you can't control it too leniently, just let him like it."

"Look." Nie Dan seemed to have guessed what You Miao had said a long time ago, and retorted: "The affairs of the heavenly family are the affairs of the world. Since ancient times, if the emperor has no heirs, who will inherit the throne and lead the people? As a courtier, his life The most fearful thing is that the emperor has no heirs, how can we not care about it?"

You Miao replied: "But according to the current situation, he is not an emperor."

Nie Dan thought of this episode, so he kept silent.You Miao was anxious. Although she knew she had to avoid this matter, she still couldn't help asking.

"Brother, when you and your husband discussed this matter, what was your attitude?"

Nie Dan took a look at Sun Yu who was on the sick bed, and Sun Yu fell asleep again. Nie Dan held his withered old hand to feel the pulse, which was still there.

"To tell you the truth." Nie Dan sighed and said, "Brother was also very confused when faced with this matter. It's just because it concerns the people of the country..."

You Miao listened quietly.

"...But there are some things that have to be done by someone. People are like this. They tend to follow others and forget their righteousness. For example, there is no way for officials to accept bribes. Some officials' monthly salaries are not enough to support themselves. Take some deductions, does the whole family drink northwest wind with him?"

You Miao finally understood some of Nie Dan's principles.

"A lot of things are not mentioned on the surface, but everyone agrees in private. But as long as it is wrong, we must try our best to correct it. You can't say that you think this makes sense in private, and you are too lazy to move, so Chaowen Wudu complied him. When everyone is doing wrong things, although the elder brother and your husband are weak, they must always stand up and not join forces."

"Take a step back." Nie Dan looked into You Miao's eyes: "I don't want the later history books to mention our dynasty, it will say that in the past, when the Hu people entered the Central Plains, the two emperors were captured, and the apocalypse was shamed, However, from the emperor down to the ministers, they all kept silent and never mentioned the matter of welcoming back the two emperors. The thousand-year integrity of the Han people was ruined in one day."

You Miao didn't dare to say anything, but felt that Nie Dan's words were like a slap in the face, slapped on her face.

"The country can be destroyed, the family can be destroyed, and the integrity cannot be destroyed." Nie Dan said: "Since ancient times, the Hulu have no luck for a hundred years. Although they invaded frequently, they could not completely destroy our scholars in the Central Plains. The reason is the integrity. These words, You scholars must know better than us."

You Miao nodded. At that moment, his heart was shaken for a moment. He didn't dare to think how furious Nie Dan would be after the incident was over. Maybe he would completely turn against Zhao Chao and part ways.

As the sky was getting brighter, Sun Yu was still panting slowly, hanging in one breath, unable to live or die.

In the early morning, everyone came to morning class and visited Sun Yu one by one. You Miao was very worried.Chao Tang Bo said: "Prepare for the funeral, sir, I don't know what you are waiting for."

Tang Bo said: "Maybe I'm waiting for news from the north."

When You Miao heard this, she felt her heart was pulled, and she didn't know how long Sun Yu could last.That morning, You Miao took the lead in drawing out the money, and gave everyone in the matter a silver coin, or one or two, or five coins, and threw some broken silver into the porcelain bowl for washing brushes.Everyone expresses their hearts, knowing that You Miao is rich, and will definitely give Sun Yu a grand burial.

But Tang Bo said to You Miao: "I heard from my husband before that when he is old, he does not approve of a generous burial. If he is given a generous burial, I am afraid that his reputation of thrift will be lost if it is spread. In this way, everyone will know it. I'm sorry for him."

You Miao got a headache when he heard it. It is true that when Sun Yu taught him to study, he also said that he would cut down on food and clothing to give his parents a generous burial. The flashy thing is bullshit.It is better to save money for your children to live a good life when you die.

"That's what you said." You Miao said: "Mr. is opposed to luxury and waste all his life. But it means that the children are poor and have no money to live. Look at us, which one of us is so poor that we can't survive and want to sell ourselves to bury our father? "

Everyone nodded and said yes.You Miao said again: "Either I should listen to everyone. Anyway, the political affairs hall has always been based on everyone's opinions. You have the final say on the husband's funeral. It depends on whether there are more people who are in favor of generous burials, or more people who are in favor of less extravagance. .Which side talks more, I will act according to the meaning of the side. When I come to His Majesty, I will decide on my own."

Tang Bo thought about it, but still didn't dare to take the risk rashly,

"Let's do as you say." Tang Bo said, "Whether this matter is big or small, I can't make up my mind..."

You Miao explained again: "Mr. was frugal during his lifetime. This was his own insistence. He lived with peace of mind. Our disciples also said the same. It is not easy to influence him. But when he grows old, if he is not given a decent burial, Not only is His Majesty unable to justify it, but the disciples also feel uncomfortable. After all, once people leave, they don’t know how many people are there. I don’t care what others say about him in my life. You said it for your sake, but I still think it’s for us. Those who are alive, just buy peace of mind."

Tang Bo couldn't laugh or cry, all the things in his mind were shaken out by You Miao, and everyone was very embarrassed by the matter. Everyone wanted to gain a reputation of filial piety, but they were afraid that the censor would read a book, saying that the Zhengshitang was extravagant and wasteful, Only then did You Miao go to top the tank, no one dared to join You Miao anyway.You Miao also knew this, anyway, all that should be said has been said, and people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, everyone is at ease now.

This side was talking about Sun Yu's funeral, but an official from Dali Temple came to the door, and said after entering the door: "How is Mr. Sun's condition? There is an urgent matter at the front line, and His Majesty is waiting for the Political Affairs Hall to send someone there."

You Miao and Tang Bo stopped talking, and looked at the official together, You Miao said: "Sir fell asleep after eating in the morning, what's the matter? Tell me."

"A document has been sent from the front line. The negotiation is over. Li Hanlin is back. Xie Changshi and General Huwei are escorting His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor back to court!"

The official's words were tantamount to throwing a firecracker into the political affairs hall, and everyone was shocked.

Nie Dan came from the corridor, heard this and said, "Have you received someone?"

The official replied: "On the way back, General Huwei took a rest in Qishan and is expected to arrive in Yangzhou in five days! His Majesty is sending officials from various ministries to welcome the return of the Second Emperor... Li Hanlin has already returned one step ahead."

You Miao's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't know how to answer for a long while.Nie Dan said: "I'm going into the palace now, Ziqian, are you going?"

You Miao recovered and said: "I'll wait, there are still things to arrange here, so, Tang Bo, you go to court with General Nie..."

Tang Bo nodded in understanding, and Nie Dan nodded and left knowing that You Miao was going to arrange for Sun Yu's funeral.Let us go to morning class with different minds.You Miao had mixed feelings in her heart, and went back to the backyard.

Sun Yu closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
