Chapter 700: Heaven and Earth are not as big as Dad
Chapter 700: The world is not as big as the father
The ministers bowed out one after another, and only Li Ganshun and Shen Ao were left in the warm pavilion. Even Huaide tiptoed back to the ear chamber beside him.
In the hot weather, there was a charcoal basin in the warm trunk. At first, Chen Ao didn't feel hot, but when it got colder, he had to take off a shirt.
Li Ganshun looked at Chen Ao with deep eyes, and his whole body seemed to have a little bit of energy and said, "Wu Tu Ling Lu, this person, must be careful, but unless it is absolutely necessary, don't touch him easily. Beware of the intimidation of the dog."
Chen Ao knew that this was Li Ganshun's official right to hand him over, and what he wanted to say was extremely important. Chen Ao sat in front of the couch and listened with his ears, not daring to miss it at all.
Li Ganshun continued: "In state affairs, please ask Yang Zhen more opinions. Yang Zhen is usually timid and cautious, and he still has a vision. If he can break it, he is a talented assistant." He smiled faintly and said: "But be careful, he also has selfish intentions and has a higher greed, so he needs to use it. You can find someone to check and balance. Wang Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, can be competent. I originally wanted to leave it for the prince..." Speaking of the prince, Li Ganshun shook his head again and sighed: "Then he will be reserved for the King of Yue, now you can use it. This person is upright, although he is a little stupid, it is enough to bind Yang Zhen."
Chen Aohe nodded.
Li Ganshun said one by one, from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of War, as if it were a family, and finally smiled and said, "There is another person named Wuda. Although this person is a national, he is loyal to me. You don't have to be careful of him. He is a warrior and a general. There are two benefits to using him. One is to make the best use of everything, and the second is to use him as a proposition. For the nationality, you cannot be upright and you must also know the means of being gentle. I found an excuse a few days ago. After you supervise the country, you can immediately use him to show your kindness and make him benevolent, and at the same time show the nation that as long as you are willing to serve, you, the Regent, will be treated equally."
Chen Ao was sweating profusely when he heard Li Ganshun's words. He didn't know how many intentions were mixed here. In Li Ganshun's eyes, those civil and military officials who looked extremely noble seemed to be just chess pieces. Li Ganshun was either bathed in spring breeze or gave them color, but everyone was still chess pieces and had no tools for life.
Although Chen Ao was decisive in killing, his deep intentions were beyond his reach. It was not that he was not cruel enough, but that he could not be so ruthless.
People have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but Li Ganshun seems to have all the joys, angers, and they are all means of control. Chen Ao asked himself, he could not do this, and he would never do it. It seems that he and the wise king have no chance.
Li Ganshun looked at him and said, "Do you think it's scary after listening to my words?"
Chen Ao said: "It's terrible to the ministers, but it must be said to be a blessing for the people."
Li Ganshun's face was covered with a blush, and his spirit seemed better. He said, "As a monarch, you must have a few faces, just like me, in front of Miao'er, I am a good father. But in front of my ministers, I am a moody king. In the eyes of the nation, I am a traitor who betrays the country and the ancestors...." He hesitated here for a moment, and then said, "What is I in the eyes of my mother?"
Speaking of the Empress Dowager, Li Ganshun's face was calm and said indifferently: "Those who gave birth to me were their parents. If she hadn't been greedy, I might as well be a filial son."
Chen Ao just pretended that he had never heard anything. Li Ganshun's killing of his mother was the most obscure thing in Xixia. It was a bit incredible to see him say it indifferently today. It was better to talk less at this time.
Li Ganshun's face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he said word by word: "But she refused, but she wanted to contact her own relatives to do something wrong, and she fought for years and suffered for many years. The world has suffered for a long time..."
To Shen Ao, these words were all Li Ganshun's excuses. Perhaps only by saying this can he feel a little comfort.
Li Ganshun lay on the couch, his tone slowed down a little: "Why don't you speak?"
Chen Ao looked at him and said, "Your Majesty's complexion seems to be better."
Li Ganshun smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. I know my own body. I'm just a lingering breath. You can move into the palace today and live with the princess. If you want to use my warm pavilion, I will move to the side hall."
Chen Ao shook his head and said, "Son-in-law dare not."
Li Ganshun smiled and looked at Chen Ao and said, "It's not that you dare not. You are very similar to me. There is nothing in this world that you dare not. You dare not, you just have mercy on me." He exclaimed and said with emotion: "I have finished saying everything I should say. Go to Chongwen Hall. All the officials have been waiting for a long time, and they are waiting for the Regent to come to the court."
Chen Ao felt relieved all of a sudden. Li Ganshun's words today put a huge pressure on him. He naturally understood that he was not like Li Ganshun at all, and he could not do his indifference, but this indifference was not wrong. It was precisely because of his indifference to people close to him and because of his lack of affection, that Xixia would have revived and that millions of people would live and work in peace and contentment.
Which emperors who care about their feelings and are close to their close ministers can achieve such political achievements? With closeness and distantness, someone will be favored, just like Liu Jin, Yan Song, Cai Jing, like the ten regular attendants, like... themselves.
The only luck that Zhao Ji is that he is a world of difference from Liu Jin and Cai Jing, otherwise it may be unknown whether he can enjoy peace.
Li Ganshun is very scary, and Zhao Ji is very acquainted. This is a comparison from Chen Ao's standpoint, but for millions of people, Chen Ao's conclusion may not be.
Chen Ao thought about it in a mess, then cheered up again. What do you want to do so much? Do your duty well, stick to your principles, and be lazy when you should be lazy.
Chen Ao stood up and said, "Your Majesty takes care of yourself."
Li Ganshun watched him leave, looking at the warm pavilion, and he felt dull, even when Huaide came out of the ear chamber.
"Your Majesty..." Huaide whispered.
Li Ganshun came back to his senses, and said oh, but began to cough violently again. Huaide took the spittoon, wiped the stains on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is resting early, and it is most important to take a good rest."
Li Ganshun smiled miserably and said, "I let him see through himself, but I still can't see through him now. For nothing, I'll leave someone who has been watching for the rest of my life to see through." Let Huaide take his pillow down, pinch the quilt for him, and sigh, "Since he has come, I'll feel relieved, those sluts are not his opponents."

Chen Ao came out of the warm pavilion, and immediately an eunuch led Chen Ao to a palace. Then several palace servants led him to the bathroom room, untied his clothes for him, and soaked naked in the bathtub. After washing, these palace servants seemed to be commonplace, and changed Chen Ao's new ward suit. The ward suit was also embroidered with golden dragons, which was not much different from Li Ganshun's. The only difference was that Li Ganshun's clothes were bright yellow, while Chen Ao's black.
After changing into new clothes, Chen Ao was extremely energetic and felt comfortable. He was not very awkward when facing these palace ladies. He waved them back and said, "I will go to the harem to report to the princess later, and I will come after I go to the court."
From the palace, the eunuch led him to the Chongwen Hall. Hundreds of officials stood in the Chongwen Hall, waiting with breath, no one said anything. A smaller golden chair was set up next to the imperial chair in the Golden Hall, with a layer of smooth fur on it, which was obviously intended for the Regent to take charge of the government.
When Chen Ao came out, he looked at the dark people and was not panicked at all. After all, he had seen a big scene. He went to the hall with two dragon chaises and said nothing, and sat directly on the big throne chair in the middle. He thought it was simple in his mind. This chair was for his future son, but his father could only sit on the corner. This is just right? It's simply outrageous. He hasn't come out of his stomach yet. Do you want me, the father, to kowtow to you in the future?
Chen Ao has no interest in abide by this bastard rule. As for the fact that he can't be overwhelmed, or because of this, he has suspicion from his father and son, Chen Ao disagrees with it. If he really has suspicion, only his father is like his grandson in front of him, he will inevitably have suspicion. In the future, he will teach him a truth. If the world is not as big as his father, he will have no suspicion.
When everyone saw Chen Ao's actions, they all looked strange. The two eunuchs in the Golden Palace were startled and whispered: "Regent, you are sitting in the wrong place."
Chen Ao said lightly: "Oh? You were sitting in the wrong place? Could it be that the Supreme Emperor was sitting?"
The eunuch quickly defended: "This is the future emperor who sits."
Chen Ao looked stern and said, "Who is the future emperor?"
The eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "It is the future son of the Regent."
Chen Ao banged the imperial case and said furiously: "That's it. Is he still going to teach me to be with me while sitting here? Where is Yang Zhen?"
Yang Zhen stood up with a wry smile from the class: "The subordinate is here."
Chen Ao said angrily: "You are the Minister of Rites. I ask you, is my Daxia still governing the country with etiquette and law, and do you respect filial piety?"
Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "This is indeed the state gift."
Chen Ao said very alone: "That's it. Now I want to teach the unborn emperor a truth, what is filial piety."
The eunuch dared not say anything anymore and stepped aside.
