Zhang Jun nodded repeatedly, feeling somewhat emotional, but trying to cheer himself up: "That being said, our cause is a legacy for generations to come, why should we care about these things?"
"It's not just that." Yue Fei still stood there and shook his head. "To be honest with you, Prime Minister, if Yang Yao was a rebellious traitor who did all kinds of evil, I wouldn't even look at him, but he is still a bit confident after all... Prime Minister, I'm going to say something unpleasant today. No matter what the court says, according to the local people's mentality, after thousands of years of rain and wind, there may really be a statue of Yang Yao on the Dongting Lake, and I, Yue Fei, may just be a thief who has been cruel to the people for thousands of years."
Zhang Jun opened his mouth to speak, but just smiled bitterly.
It's always possible to say polite words, for example, the Song Dynasty will last for thousands of years and these people will never change, but those are just polite words, some things are just so realistic.
Take the obscene worship of Dongting Lake for example. During the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, whoever was serious about doing things had dealt with it? But was it really stopped? Now that Prime Minister Zhong is so cowardly, if the people are in trouble again one day, they might bring out Yang Yao, who would rather die than surrender, and make him the new Great Sage.
As for Yue Pengju, unless he has the same ability as Guan Yu, and the Emperor Taishang Daojun continues to confer titles on him after a thousand years, his reputation in Dongting Lake may not be as respectable as Yang Yao's.
To put it bluntly, the river flows eastward, and with just a mortal body, how difficult is it to accomplish achievements that will be passed down for thousands of years?
"Pengju."
His mind was full of thoughts, and he felt sad about the spring, but Zhang Jun still spoke quickly. "No matter what, you have avoided spring ploughing after the spring. I have three words for you..."
"Sir, please speak." Yue Fei also tried his best.
"First, I am the Privy Councilor of the current dynasty and the angel supervising this battle. I do think that your handling of this matter was absolutely correct. You have done a good deed and no wrong."
"Thank you, sir."
"Secondly, I know your difficulties. I will never say too much about this matter. I just want to say that you need to train Huang Zuo. You have been forced to go out by me until today, and it is still very dangerous... You must cooperate with this matter and don't refuse. Because once this matter is discussed, even if it is just a discussion, it will cause an uproar and even cause a dispute between the civil and military officials. Even if the government and the central government protect you, it is inevitable that there will be disputes between the upper and lower levels."
"That's what I meant." Yue Fei sighed.
"Third, no matter what, you must trust the emperor. I know you haven't been with the emperor for a long time, and you may be a little nervous, but the emperor really trusts you as much as the Prince of Yan'an... and this time when I go back, I will be responsible for reporting to the emperor privately. But please rest assured, Pengju, I am here to explain your efforts to the emperor. And in the end, the emperor is more powerful and wise than you think."
What else could Yue Fei say but nod heavily.
In February, Dongting Lake was covered with lush grass and singing birds, followed by continuous spring rain. Zhang Jun finally entrusted the cleanup matters to Yue Fei, and then hurried back north in an attempt to talk things over with the government. When he arrived at Jiangling Prefecture, he naturally had to stop to communicate and explain with Ma Shen, the governor of Hubei... After listening to Zhang Jun's words, Ma Shen only said that it was good that the rebellion was quelled, but did not comment on Yue Fei's explanation for not taking any action.
However, it was in Jiangling Prefecture that Zhang Jun received the latest court bulletin, noting the latest relevant developments of the wise and powerful Emperor Zhao.
It was agreed that within one month, the 'practical action' in Xuande Tower to verify the existence of air pressure was forced to be postponed due to the inadequate equipment. The wise and powerful Emperor Zhao had no choice but to personally host a banquet and plead with Hu Anguo and others, urging them to give Lu Benzhong, who had spoken wildly, another half month to refine the equipment.
PS: Maybe in the future the big guys will add another cute one!
Then I recommend a book as a sacrifice, "I Picked Up a Qin Shi Huang"! A new book by Xiaolang, the author of "I Picked Up a Book of the Three Kingdoms".
Finally, without occupying the VIP chapter, I will report a number here... This chapter should be 146k this month. Although it is 20,000 more words than last month, it is still a vicious cycle. Not only did I not pay the bill, but I also had another 4k bill... Fortunately, the course at Luyuan is over. I can only say thank you for your understanding... In fact, I am so sleepy that I can't open my eyes now... Why? Because I didn't sleep well yesterday, and then I couldn't sleep during the day. And why didn't I sleep well? Because I gave a graduation speech today. I am a super social phobic person, and this kind of thing is simply unbearable.
It’s time to go out more and communicate with more people.
Hope the new January will have a good start... Good night everyone.
