Xie Rang will not become a tyrannical emperor, nor will he repeat the fate of history.
This understanding was crystal clear in Yun Qing's mind.
After a short while of contemplation, Xie Rang walked up to her. When he put down what he was carrying, Yun Qing realized that he had brought a pot of tea with him when he came up.
"Is the Grand Tutor still seasick? I just went downstairs to brew some fruit tea, would the Grand Tutor like to try it?"
When he was out and about, Xie Rang didn't care about his status at all, nor did he care how terrified Shunfeng was when his job was taken away. As long as he thought that this was something he had prepared for the Grand Tutor himself, a faint sense of joy would rise up in his heart.
In the past, Yun Qing had never refused Xie Rang's kindness, but now she had a different feeling.
"Why should Your Majesty take action personally? This matter can be left to Shunfeng."
I wonder if Shunfeng will think I did something wrong? Seriously...
Yun Qing knew all the people who served Xie Rang. Although Shunfeng had helped him keep many things from him, it was his duty, and Yun Qing would not hold a grudge.
It would be one thing if they interacted privately, but Xie Rang is now becoming increasingly blatant in his actions.
Xie Rang did not take this advice: "Grand Tutor, there's no need to worry, they won't tell anyone."
Those whom Xie Rang kept by his side were all people who had been thoroughly investigated and confirmed to be absolutely loyal. If they couldn't even control their mouths on such a small matter, then there was really no need for them to stay in the Emperor's presence.
"Besides, how can something given to the Grand Tutor be considered the same as something given to others?"
With a smile on his face, Xie Rang slowly pushed the cup towards Yun Qing.
He thus openly displayed his selfish motives to Yun Qing.
The young man's emotions were intense and sincere, which is rare even in ordinary people, let alone in the noble emperor. Yun Qing was immediately speechless.
Although she wasn't a teacher, she had been Xie Rang's teacher for several years. Changing his mind wasn't something that could be done overnight. Sometimes, silence was the only better option.
Yun Qing picked up the tea and took a sip, feeling a little uncomfortable. Her gaze lingered on a certain corner for a moment, and she almost lost her composure, coughing twice while covering her mouth with her sleeve.
Xie Rang quickly reached out and gently patted her back, asking with concern, "Why is Grand Tutor in such a hurry?"
“That’s not the reason…” Yun Qing was unusually embarrassed, and she said with difficulty, “I was thinking that Your Majesty should not make things difficult for Lord Cui.”
Cui Li was a historian who recorded words and deeds. He always followed Xie Rang in public. They were on the ship above, so it was not a private space.
Upon hearing Xie Rang's words, Cui Li fell silent, his face flushed with anxiety. He hesitated for a long time, holding his pen, unsure whether he should write it down.
If the emperor's romantic affairs were to appear in a proper history book, Yun Qing wouldn't even dare to imagine how later generations would embellish it, especially after she learned from the system that she couldn't go back!
[The thought of these things appearing in textbooks being studied, and being seen by my classmates, maybe even Li Yunqing... is really embarrassing.]
Although one should not concern oneself with what happens after death, Yun Qing, coming from the future, felt incredibly embarrassed just thinking about it.
Xie Rang's eyes subtly lit up: "I didn't make things difficult for Cui Li. As a historian, he should know what it means to record things truthfully. Would I really hold him accountable?"
By saying this, Xie Rang has provided the answer.
Yun Qing was about to say something when she saw that Cui Li had suddenly realized what was going on, picked up his pen and began to write furiously.
she:……
Oh well, I'm not the only one who's embarrassed.
Yun Qing gave up on continuing to dwell on this matter.
Xie Rang is obedient when he is obedient, and truly disobedient when he is disobedient.
Having achieved his goal, Xie Rang wisely stopped mentioning it and took a step back to his original position.
After a moment's thought, Yun Qing revealed some of her plans.
"Now that the situation in the capital is good, if Fan Chengxiang's performance is deemed satisfactory upon returning, Your Majesty may consider appointing him as Minister."
Fan Chengxiang is now the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Xie Rang frowned slightly: "Grand Tutor, do you wish to resign?"
Having just confessed his feelings, Xie Rang was surprised when Yun Qing brought up this plan. Although he knew she had long intended to relinquish her position, Xie Rang couldn't help but overthink it.
Power is the most alluring thing. Even though Xie Rang knew Yun Qing didn't care, he still tried every means to put it into her hands so that he could keep her by his side openly.
But now that she has brought up the matter of resigning from her official post, Xie Rang felt a bit gloomy.
"I am only resigning from the position of Minister." Yun Qing was very firm on this matter, and did not soften his stance when he saw the aggrieved expression on Xie Rang's face. "I am still His Majesty's Grand Tutor."
"Have some decency, you little brat, we're really overwhelmed."
Yun Qing had this feeling when she was in the capital, not to mention that she had been traveling in Jiangnan for several months and had become quite lazy. The thought of being busy when she returned to the capital gave her a headache.
I wasn't this busy even when I was in graduate school.
Yunqing used to think she was lucky. She was successfully recommended for postgraduate studies and had much less anxiety to experience. Later, her teacher focused on guiding her alone, so the pressure wasn't too great overall. But unexpectedly, after time-traveling, all of that came back to haunt her.
It's hard to say that it's not a cycle of cause and effect.
When Yun Qing's inner voice rang out, Xie Rang began to think, especially after the last sigh-like complaint, when layers of guilt surfaced.
He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, the Grand Tutor seemed to have complained about this matter in a vague way, but at that time, they were really short of manpower and neither of them took it to heart.
It's just that the time is right to bring up the old story again.
Xie Rang seemed somewhat relieved: "If the Grand Tutor really thinks that way, we'll see if he's qualified for the position."
Fortunately, starting from the Da Xi era, the Grand Tutor was no longer a nominal position. Even if Yun Qing wanted to leave, he couldn't just ignore everything. Besides, the Li family was still in the capital.
"Don't worry, I will do a good job in the assessment for His Majesty."
As Yun Qing spoke, a smile appeared on her lips. She had felt awkward in her interactions with Xie Rang lately, but talking about things in the capital after so long broke down that barrier and made her feel especially fond of it.
Xie Rang naturally noticed this small change. Although he tried to warn himself to act like an adult, he still instinctively wanted to get closer to Yun Qing because of his old habits.
"Even if he loses his position as Minister, the Grand Tutor can still take a look at the memorials submitted by the Ministry of Personnel. In terms of experience in recognizing people, no one can compare to the Grand Tutor."
Xie Rang was telling the truth.
The Grand Tutor did everything he could to recruit people to the court, and mistakes were extremely rare. Most people shone brightly in suitable positions, which was one of the reasons why the Great Xi dynasty was able to quickly stabilize its rule.
A subtle smile appeared on Yun Qing's face.
Is this based on the experience of mistaking a wolf cub for a docile puppy?
