Chapter 198: A way to destroy prestige, an elegant thing?



Even if we report this to His Majesty, he will definitely not believe it. We have to provide the most powerful evidence.

There was no way. Lin Chong was not sure whether Wang Jin was the kind of eunuch who would disrupt the government, so he had to be careful.

Without giving it much thought, he led his imperial guards forward, intending to finalize the matter once they reached Zhennan Pass.

"Wang Jin, how much do you know about the customs and practices of the Southern Territory? And there are some interesting things about Zhennan Pass that are not found in the Central Plains or the Northern Territory."

At this moment, on the dragon chariot, Wei Yunyi looked at Wang Jin opposite him and spoke directly.

He really wanted to have some fun.

But he felt it was too embarrassing to say it directly, so he hinted at it indirectly.

The customs and practices of the southern border?

Upon hearing this, Wang Jin was slightly stunned, a hint of confusion in her eyes. After thinking for a while, she said, "Your Majesty, I have lived in the palace since I was a child, so I don't know much about the things in the Southern Territory. However, I have heard that because the Southern Territory is close to Jiangnan, the culture and economy are almost the same. Especially the singing, dancing, opera, and storytelling are the most interesting!"

When he said this, he didn't have many thoughts in his mind.

The Central Plains and the Northern Border are not as economically advanced as the South.

Especially the scholars.

The Jiangnan region is even more unique.

This also led to the emergence of many literati and poets in Jiangnan.

In his mind, these are the biggest differences between this place and the North and the Central Plains. As for the others, he doesn't know much about them, and he doesn't understand why His Majesty is asking these questions.

"Oh? Song and dance?"

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi immediately became interested and said directly: "Tell me in detail!"

"Your Majesty, I don't know much about these... I just know that when the scholars from the aristocratic families of Jiangnan have nothing better to do, they like to drink and recite poetry. However, they find this too monotonous, so they have beautiful girls who dance and sing to accompany them. They call this... yes, snow, moon, wind and flowers, that's what it should be."

Wang Jin frowned and spoke, as if recalling and confirming whether he had said it correctly.

Of course, he knew that such a thing must exist.

After all, it is the East Factory under his command.

Now it has spread throughout the entire Wei Dynasty, and has spies among the major families and court ministers. It is not surprising that they know such things.

Moreover, this kind of thing does not violate the court laws, so there is nothing wrong with speaking it out.

As for Wei Yunyi, of course he also understood that this matter existed.

But after actually hearing it.

My interest grew, and I paused for a moment: "Dancing and singing beauties, wow, the sentiments of these literati are really good."

To be honest, he was extremely curious and envious of this kind of life.

Wang Jin, who was standing nearby, was unaware of this and immediately said, "They are called scholars, but in reality, they are no different from ordinary people. They just read more books and can write some articles, and then they give such vulgar things a name of elegance."

He was extremely disdainful of the hobbies of so-called scholars, thinking that they were immoral.

But the noble families and scholars regarded it as an elegant thing and enjoyed it every day.

But he didn't think about what he could do for the Wei Dynasty and the court.

I have absolutely no ideals of my own.

Therefore, Wang Jin could not stand this.

If Your Majesty hadn't asked, I wouldn't have said anything more.

But at this moment, Wei Yunyi suddenly raised his head, was silent for a moment, and said: "In fact, I also want to know what kind of experience the so-called sentiment of the literati is like."

These words made the atmosphere on the dragon chariot awkward.

Wang Jin was indeed a master at reading people's expressions. He bowed slightly and said directly, "Your Majesty is Your Majesty. You personally lead the army for the country and command the people to enjoy music. Such noble things are beyond the comprehension of this humble servant."

"Didn't you just say this was a shameful business? How come now it's been turned into something elegant, something about enjoying yourself with the people?"

Wei Yunyi smiled, but did not continue to dwell on this matter. Instead, he continued, "After all I have said, Wang Jin, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jin immediately reacted: "I know that if Your Majesty is willing, I will definitely make arrangements in the palace."

As expected, he is the eunuch I have chosen. He has high emotional intelligence. I understand him without him having to say it explicitly.

Not bad, not bad, very sensible.

Wei Yunyi was very pleased.

He didn't say much at the time, just waved his hand and asked the other person to go down.

He sat cross-legged in the dragon chariot, consolidating his realm while thinking about how to improve next time.

After Wang Jin stepped down from the dragon chariot, his brows were furrowed, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

He naturally understood what His Majesty meant, but he just felt strange.

Your Majesty is an unprecedented sage monarch throughout history.

Logically speaking.

He shouldn't be interested in such things, especially when he is on his way to an expedition. It is hard for him to understand.

However, Wang Jin understood that everything His Majesty did would not be simple. Even if it seemed absurd on the surface, he definitely had his own plans.

It's just like inviting the young Taoist priest into the palace. It seems to be favoring the Taoist priest, but it's actually because His Majesty wants to improve his martial arts skills.

Therefore, you must change your way of thinking and look at the problem from a different angle.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to do something to hide his tracks?
