When I heard his words, Chang Qing and I immediately looked at each other.

We two are waiting here quietly, just to wait for the solution of this matter, and to wait until how this matter is solved.

However, for a moment, neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was in a moment of stalemate.

But Pei Yuanhao seemed to have no feeling at all. He leaned on the armrest of the chair, rubbed both sides of his forehead, and then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. His face turned pale by the cold wind outside. At this time, the warm tea water immediately rose a little red.

I looked at him, and my heart almost reached my throat, waiting for him to announce his answer.

Pei Yuanhao took that sip of tea, then raised his head to look at us, a light flashed in his eyes, as if there was a little smile, but he didn't say anything, then turned to Nianshen and said, "You sit down too."

He spoke, and then replied, and slowly walked to the stool on the other side to sit down.

Pei Yuanhao didn't look at us, but gently fiddled with the foam floating on the tea soup with a tea bowl, and said softly: "I have been busy with government affairs these days and have not asked about your homework. Today, it seems that you have learned a lot of skills from your husband to govern the world."

When Nian Shen heard this, he hurriedly stood up from the stool and leaned over and said, "Father is too good, I just listened to the teacher and... my senior brother's lectures. I learned some strategies for ancestors to govern the country. If I really want to talk about the art of governing the country, I don't have much of my own opinions."

After hearing this, Chang Qing and I turned to look at Nian Shen.

He lowered his head respectfully, and he didn't even raise his head when he said these words.

We turned back to look at Pei Yuanhao, and saw him smiling and slowly said, "You don't have to be too modest. The thing you published in the court today can be called a high theory. I don't know that you also have your own opinions on Xichuan and the general trend of the world."

Nianshen hung his head lowered.

I listened next to me and felt that this was a bit wrong. After all, as the prince, I have been reading books with Fu Badai for so many years, so why did he have no idea about the general trend of the world? He said this, and it seems that he really thinks Nian Shen a little too low on his daily life.

Chang Qing was waiting on the side, and then took a step forward and said with a smile: "Nian Shen also has his own ideas, which is of course good. I just don't know if the prince's ideas are consistent with the emperor's ideas?"

Pei Yuanhao said with a smile: "If you are unanimous or not, he is good. Today I have a saying that I will continue to say all my father-in-law."

Chang Qing and I were both stunned for a moment.

When I heard this, I wanted to tell whether the "old father-in-law" he said was from the Chang family or the Nangong family. But when I thought about it carefully, what is the difference? The Taishi Chang and Shangshu of Nangong are now in an alliance. The debate in the court was naturally the people from the two of them who debated Fu Badai's side.

But, that is,—

I am standing on this side!

When I thought of this, my heart pounded a little. When I looked back at Nian Shen, my breathing became tight. However, Chang Qing still remained calm and said with a smile: "Oh? What did the prince say, it works so well?"

Pei Yuanhao smiled and pointed at Nian Shen: "Tell me yourself, tell me to your mother and aunt Qing."

After hearing this, Nian Shen turned to us and whispered: "Soldiers cannot be played, but they will have no power."

When I heard this, my heart suddenly moved.

This sentence should be from the Book of Changes. As the prince, it would be fine if I read some programs of governing the country. At such a young age, I asked him to recite the Book of Changes?

Moreover, the Book of Changes... this is not a classic of Confucianism.

Chang Qing had already smiled and said, "This is interesting - soldiers should not be played. How can the swords and weapons of this country be said to be played?"

"Yes," Pei Yuanhao smiled, lowered his head and took another sip of tea: "The country's swords and weapons cannot be played."

Chang Qing's face slightly condensed, as if she was immediately surprised and shut her mouth.

I stood quietly next to me, and at this time I understood that the "old father-in-law" Pei Yuanhao just mentioned was nothing else, but the Minister of War Nangong Jinhong.

If you can't play with the soldiers, you will have no power. But as the Minister of War, Nangong Jinhong talks about war easily. The word "play" is indeed well used. I can almost think of Nangong Jinhong's face flushed by this word in the court, but he can't speak.

In my heart, I couldn't help but smile faintly.

No wonder, after going to court, he did not go to see Nangong Lizhu, but brought Nianshen to Jingren Palace.

Of course, after hearing this sentence, I realized it too.

Pei Yuanhao slowly put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, raised his head and looked at Nian Shen, and said, "You are not summoned to court today. There is no rule. I will allow you this time, but if you want to go to court to discuss politics in the future, you still have to follow my rules."

Nian Shen hurriedly said, "My son knows the crime."

"Sin is not a sin. In the past, I did not allow you to go to court to discuss politics because you were still young, but today I also realized that you are not young anymore. What you said made me very pleased. I thought deeply, you have grown up."

Nian Shen couldn't help but look up at him. The light flashed in his eyes, but he forced himself to suppress it, lowering his head: "Thank you, Father."

"but--"

The original warmth and affection suddenly became cold when he spoke the next moment. I looked at Pei Yuanhao's face and said, "You said that soldiers should not be played, but you have no power to play. This sentence is indeed true, but I want you to say it, what is the following sentence of this sentence!"

Nian Shen hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "The soldiers should not be abolished, if they are abolished, they will be called to the enemy."

"Yes," although Nian Shen answered his question, he could not see his joy at all. Instead, his eyes became more severe: "You know the previous sentence, I am very pleased, but don't forget that there is this next sentence."

“…”

"The soldiers should not be abolished. If the soldiers are abolished, they will be called to the enemy. There are still many bandits in the world. If the swords and weapons are abolished, then what the bandits have to do is to put swords and weapons on you."

“…”

"The way of governing is to open up, and when it is relaxed, it is relaxed. It is just as this sentence shows that soldiers cannot be played, and when they are played, there is no power; when soldiers cannot be abandoned, they will be summoned to attack. Only by doing both of these things can the world be stable and the dynasty can continue. Do you understand?"

Nian Shen said softly: "My son understands."

"Just understand."

Pei Yuanhao glanced at him, and a hint of tiredness rose in his eyes. He leaned on the armrest of the chair and gently rubbed his forehead.

Chang Qing stood quietly by her side. Although the result was not as good as her, or rather, not as good as the Chang family, she still maintained the demeanor and demeanor of the country after her country. She stepped forward and said softly: "Did the emperor have been in court for too long and tired? Do you want to take a break?"

Pei Yuanhao looked up at her.

Chang Qing's face was not healthier than him. Although she tried her best to squeeze out a smile when she spoke, she could feel her uneven breath, which was probably due to pathology. When everyone was there before, he was cold and even mocked her, but now, some words seemed to be unable to say them.

However, after a moment of silence, he still said, "No need."

“…”

"I still want to go over and see Miaoyan."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at me: "How about Miaoyan today?"

Seeing him come to ask me, I quickly replied, "It's okay today, I have eaten a lot of breakfast."

"That's good, I'll go see her."

After saying that, he stood up on both sides of the chair. He was a little dizzy when he got up. He shook his handrail twice, which scared Chang Qing to his voice: "Master!"

Pei Yuanhao finally stood firm and waved his hand: "I'm fine."

After saying that, he walked towards me, passed by me, and said, "You go with me."

"……yes."

I agreed, and looked back at Chang Qing and Nian Shen, but at this time there was no time to say anything, so I just gave them a hurried salute, and then turned around and followed them out.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I felt the wind blowing outside, and the chill was blowing.

Pei Yuanhao stood in front of me, almost shook by the wind. He turned around and looked at me: "Is it cold?"

I hurriedly shook my head: "It's okay."

"Then, let's go."

After saying that, he walked into the snow.

Eunuch Yu and the others were waiting outside, and at this time they followed us from far away. The road from Chang Qing's residence to my small courtyard was not long, but I don't know if it was because he was too tired, and he walked very slowly with deep footprints. I followed him and could only walk forward slowly.

As he walked, he heard his low voice saying, "What do you think is the result of the court discussion today?"

I thought about it and said, "As long as it suits the emperor's will, it's fine."

"Now, it's true that it's my wish, but it may not be the case."

My steps stopped and I looked up at him-what does it mean?

Although his steps were heavy, he did not stop. He just seemed a little difficult to move forward step by step. He said while walking: "The result of the court discussion today is indeed what I want to see, but the result I can get is because I temporarily announced the morning court last night."

My heart suddenly jumped.

By the way, I told him yesterday that the court discussion was expanded, but he had been with me and Miaoyan after that, to announce the news of the morning court. At the beginning, it was already midnight. I am afraid that Taishi Chang and Nangong Jinhong and others would not have time to make too much preparations.

In addition, the appearance of the prince today will eventually have an impact on them. Needless to say, Grand Tutor Chang, Nian Shen is his nominal "grandson" after all, and it is impossible to confront him in the court publicly. Nangong Jinhong must have considered that the prince's first time in court to discuss politics, and in addition, Fu Badai must be guarding the emperor, so this court discussion got the results we wanted.
