Chapter 356 The more cautious he is, the more he cares
He Yi also laughed when he heard this.
He laughed and shook his head, saying, "You, all you think about is conferring titles. Let me ask you, if the emperor wants to confer titles on Nan Yan, why would he do it?"
Ye Zheng was stunned.
Obviously, although he had thought about this matter for a long time, he had never thought about it in such detail.
Why is it canonized...?
Ye Zheng slowly put down the document and said, "Nan Yan is just a female official of the Imperial Court, working for the Emperor. She does what she is supposed to do. She is not considered to have made any meritorious contributions, so it is difficult for her to be canonized."
Ye Zheng hurriedly said, "But we all know her influence on the Emperor!"
“…”
"If it weren't for her, who knows how many people would have died in this incident."
He Yi smiled faintly and said, "Yes."
“…”
"But, can you say this to the concubines in the harem and the court officials?"
Ye Zheng was suddenly speechless.
He Yi said: "Nan Yan is indeed good, but her goodness lies in an indescribable way."
“…”
"Your Majesty, many people know about you and me, but we are unable to reward them according to their merits."
Ye Zheng was silent for a long time before he muttered softly, "This is too unfair."
He Yi said, "This kind of dilemma exists in this world. Some people do things that are not very effective, but they are rewarded. Meanwhile, some people put in a lot of effort, even at the cost of their lives, but they just can't get a single word of praise."
“…”
Ye Zheng frowned and said, "Could this be the reason?"
He Yi shook his head.
“That’s certainly not the main reason.”
"What's the main reason?"
"I think the emperor should have considered this issue. The status he can give Nan Yan cannot be too high, nor too high."
“…”
"A person can only wear a hat that matches him. A hat that is too big will easily weigh him down."
“…”
"Du Jieyu—Du Xianshi—is an example."
“…”
"And Nan Yan's situation is even more difficult than hers. She doesn't have a powerful family, nor does she have any influence in the court that she can rely on. A girl like this can't be canonized to a very high rank after entering the palace."
“…”
"Low-grade, that's just a target for others."
“…”
"And the Emperor..." He Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "He's obviously hesitant. Originally, after Consort Du was canonized, he should have planned to let Nan Yan enter the harem, but after these few events, he should have realized that Nan Yan's entry into the harem is not a simple matter."
Ye Zheng frowned and said, "I only know that he is becoming less and less like his past self."
“…”
"Back then, the King of Yan never hesitated before doing anything. He just did it first and talked about it later!"
He Yi glanced at him, then smiled and said, "That's a good thing."
“…”
"When people start to think ahead and behind, it means they are considering the gains and losses. The more cautious they are, the more they care."
“…”
"Besides, how can governing a country be the same as governing an army?"
“…”
"An emperor must never simply pursue his own momentary pleasure without considering the consequences. He now acts with caution and thinks twice before doing anything. This is the quality of a sage monarch."
“…”
"This is also a good change that Nan Yan brought to him."
Ye Zheng was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, He Yi smiled and said, "However, such benefits are still - unspeakable."
Ye Zheng sighed again: "Alas!"
Jian Ruocheng, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing these words.
