Chapter 120: Transparent and Open
()ps: Thank you Mayflower 001 for the reward~~~~
Yun Feng smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, Gu and Yang Gong have known each other since they were young, and they are considered uncles, and Yang Gong is also Gu's maternal uncle. If you think about it, you can barely get married to Gu and Mrs. Yang. Really?
Strictly speaking, I have to call you my aunt."
Yang Xianrong refused continuously and said: "Your Majesty, please hurry up and say this again. This will be the death penalty for my concubine. I definitely don't dare to be a concubine."
Yunfeng raised his hand noncommittally: "Please ask Mrs. Sheep to bring them all up."...
Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao's concubines and children all expressed their gratitude and stood up. However, it could be seen that except for Yang Xianrong, whose expression was relatively calm, everyone else was more or less uneasy. After all, the person who controls the fate of others suddenly changed.
Because my destiny is controlled by others, I feel quite uneasy.
Liu Yao also had the same scruples as Li Xiong, that is, a few years later, Yunfeng suddenly gave him a glass of poisonous wine, so he quickly ordered his children: "Why don't you show your aunt a gift soon?"
"My nephew (niece) pays homage to my aunt!" The dozens of young men and women saluted Liu Yueru in unison.
This shocked Liu Yueru, and she was extremely uncomfortable with it. Dozens of juniors appeared for no reason, and several of them were obviously a little older than herself. She felt at a loss for a moment.
Yunfeng was secretly amused. It was not difficult to understand Liu Yao's thoughts, but why bother? If he wanted to kill him, why would he keep him until now? However, as a subjugated monarch, this fear is likely to accompany him for the rest of his life. China
This has been the tradition since ancient times. It is pragmatism that determines the outcome of success and defeat. It is used to judge a person's value based on usefulness and ineffectiveness. Rather than advocating individual humanism, Yunfeng was unable to think about it at the moment...
"Ahem~~" Zhang Lingyun coughed twice.
Liu Yueru came to her senses immediately, stepped forward quickly to help one of the women up and said, "No need to be polite, just get up quickly."
"Thank you, aunt!" Dozens of people straightened up respectfully.
"Xianrong!" Yang Ming was sizing up Yang Xianrong from the beginning to the end, and after both parties had finished seeing each other, he couldn't help shouting anymore.
Yang Xianrong was startled for a moment, then turned to look, and his joy instantly bloomed: "Xianrong and Brother Cong have not seen each other for nearly thirty years, right? Brother Cong is hale and hearty and in good health. This makes Xianrong happy.
very."
Yang Ming stepped towards Yang Xianrong. In his excitement, he didn't care that Liu Yao was at the side. He grabbed her hands and stared straight at her with trembling lips. He seemed to have a thousand words but couldn't say them out, but his eyes were covered.
There was a layer of vague fog.
Yang Xianrong smiled with tears in his eyes and said: "Brother Cong, how have you been in these years? I wonder if my sister-in-law and niece have ever come to Chang'an? Who are there in the family?"
"Haha~~!" Yunfeng suddenly laughed and said: "It is a great blessing in the world to reunite relatives after a long absence, Yongming. You and Mrs. Sheep will go into the palace with you to have a look. It doesn't hurt to talk if you have anything to say while walking."
"I will obey you!" Liu Yao said politely. He then waved away his wife, concubines and children, letting them go back to the house on their own, and then led Yunfeng and others towards Weiyang Palace.
All the utensils in the rooms of Weiyang Palace have been replaced with new ones, and Liu Yao has wiped away all traces of him. From this point of view, he can be regarded as a meticulous person.
Yunfeng just walked around casually and took everyone to Weiyang's front hall. After all, the palace is such a large area and it is impossible to get familiar with everything in a short time.
The Weiyang Front Hall is the main building of the Weiyang Palace. It is located at the southern end of the central axis of the palace. It is built with ten feet of rammed earth as the platform. The palace is 150 feet long from north to south and eighty feet wide from east to west. It is majestic and full of royal majesty.
, which makes people unconsciously awe.
The Weiyang Front Hall has three main halls: front, middle and back. It is a high platform building built using the hills of Longshou Mountain running from north to south. The platform base is divided into three floors from south to north. The middle platform is the main hall of the great dynasty, where the emperor ascends the throne.
All the royal weddings and funerals of the court officials and the royal family were held in this hall. There are two east and west wing rooms on both sides of the front hall for the temporary rest of the officials and guests.
Yunfeng took the lead to enter the middle hall of the Great Chao, which is the Xuanshi Hall, and everyone followed him.
The emperor's seat is located on the nine jade steps. The entire palace follows the same style as outside the palace, which is simple, majestic, solemn and solemn. While everyone is shocked, they can't help but admire it.
Yun Feng, however, turned his attention to a plaque hanging behind the main seat, which read four words: The world is for the common good! Gradually, his brows furrowed unexpectedly.
Liu Yao immediately secretly thought that something was wrong, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is what I wrote before to encourage myself. Due to the rush of time, I forgot to take it off. Please wait for a moment, your Majesty, and I will take it off right now."
Now, we have to move forward.
Yang Ming stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, in my opinion, it is okay to hang this plaque. The king cares about the common people, treats corvee taxes lightly, and implements benevolent government. This is in line with the four words "the world is for the common good"! Not to mention that Yongming, you are dedicated to work.
The official script is long-lasting, the handwriting is green and powerful, and the edge is hidden. It should be regarded as a masterpiece of calligraphy."
After saying this, everyone nodded, and Liu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunfeng seemed to be against everyone and liked to make others unhappy. Under the eager eyes of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he shook his head and said, "That's not right. This plaque needs to be taken off."
"General, what are you doing? Don't these four words suit you very well?" Yu Wenjun couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yao's heart sank to the bottom again, and he and everyone else turned their attention to Yunfeng.
Yun Feng said calmly: "The world is fair? Why do we think it is fair? What is the standard for this fair? Is it truly fair? Or is it just based on your own speculation? To say the least, even if what you do is really for the common people of the world,
But who can guarantee that we will not be selfish? What if we actually seek personal gain in the name of public service? Is there anyone who can come up with a solution?"
Liu Yao couldn't help but blush. At the beginning of the founding of the country, he did work hard for a while, but he did not last long and indulged in personal enjoyment and spent hundreds of millions of money to build a mausoleum for his parents. Although he was later dissuaded by Yang Xianrong,
I regained my composure, but the situation was over, and there was nothing we could do to recover.
Everyone also looked like they were thinking. After a while, Yu Wenjun spoke again: "Zeng Zi said: "I have to examine myself three times, are I unfaithful in my plans for others? Are I not trustworthy in making friends? Are I not accustomed to preaching?
Xunzi also said: If a gentleman is knowledgeable and examines himself three times, then he will know what he knows and act without making mistakes. If he reflects on himself every day and sums up the gains and losses of the day, how can he use the public for personal gain? General, do you think this is the truth? "
‘That’s right! Why didn’t you think of that? Didn’t the ancient sages tell us what to do long ago?’ Unable to help themselves, everyone’s eyes moved to Yu Wenjun again, with approval, admiration, and surprise!
Yu Wenjun felt quite elated, but in front of Yang Ming and Liu Yao, she couldn't show too much pride. She forced herself to be calm, with an indifferent facial expression, but her eyes went straight to Yunfeng.
Take a look at it!
Yunfeng still shook his head: "What he said is true, but everyone has selfish motives. No one in the world is a saint, including those who are revered as saints. In fact, they also have selfish motives. Truly selfless people only exist in
In the glorified annals of history, it does not exist in reality. In this case, if there is no intervention of external forces and you can only rely on yourself to supervise yourself and reflect on yourself, will your behavior not be biased? Is every word and deed necessarily correct?
?
You can't see it, but maybe in the early days of the founding of the country, the rulers would have learned the lessons of the previous dynasty's demise and often listened to different opinions to correct their own mistakes. But after decades of peace, the desire for pleasure will inevitably grow stronger.
The world belongs to oneself, so what does it mean to harvest the fruits of victory by oneself? Therefore, just relying on self-examination is unreliable and extremely fragile. It is completely based on people's restraint on their own behavior and has great consequences.
Occasionally, if the leader has bad conduct, how can we expect him to think twice about himself?"
Yu Wenjun was speechless for a moment, but then he said unconvinced: "General, can't you just choose a good prince in the future? Wenjun knows that you don't agree with the eldest son inheriting the throne, so you can avoid the above situation by checking it carefully.
Is it done?"
Yunfeng chuckled disdainfully: "What if Gu is deceived by his appearance? Some people are naturally good at disguising. Before they gain power, they hide and lurk to cater to the preferences of those in power. But once they gain power, they will immediately return to their normal state.
The original nature, even if the nature has been suppressed for a long time, will explode in an extremely abnormal way. Such people are more harmful to the country, and I can't guarantee that I didn't make a mistake!"
Yunfeng is not talking nonsense. Yang Guang is the best example. With Yang Jian's intelligence and suspicion, he did not see through his disguise.
"This" Yu Wenjun was completely speechless, and everyone was thinking secretly. Yunfeng's words seemed to be unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you really don't have to worry about the world. Who dares to boast that he can make a living?
What about a pair of penetrating wisdom?
Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but ask: "Yunlang, what you said makes sense, but it seems to be a bit far. If the world's public servant is hung in the palace, it can serve as a warning. It's better than hanging nothing at all."
Better?"
Yunfeng waved his hands and said: "I have said so much for my husband, but I am not against the world being a common people. Those in power naturally have the common people in mind. However, there are four words that are more suitable for my husband."
"Oh? Which four characters?" Zhang Lingyun asked.
Yunfeng solemnly said: "Transparent and open!"
"Huh?" Everyone was startled. What does this mean? What does transparency and openness have to do with the world being public?
Yunfeng glanced quickly and saw that everyone looked confused, so he explained: "Political affairs must be transparent and open, so that everyone in the world knows what we people are discussing in the temple? Is it really true?"
It is in line with their vital interests, and transparency and openness are also the best way to supervise those in power. Often, behind-the-scenes operations are the root cause of shady affairs."
As he said that, he turned around and called: "Come here, bring some paper and pen!"
After a while, two female Rakshasa presented paper and pen.
Under the eyes of more than a dozen pairs of puzzled eyes, Yunfeng bent down at his desk and drew a sketch, then handed it to the female Rakshasa and said: "Within a month, find someone to transform the Xuanshi Palace into what is shown in the picture."
