Chapter 550 The silly girl said, okay
At this time, the two people were so close that Nan Yan could smell the smell of alcohol emanating from Zhu Feng's body.
His eyes were also slightly red.
He immediately asked, "Has the Emperor drunk?"
"Since it's a banquet, how can we not drink?"
As Zhu Feng spoke, he shook his head a little dizzy. Nan Yan hurriedly held his arm and led him to sit on the couch, then brewed a cup of strong tea for him and handed it to him.
"Your Majesty, have a drink to soothe your nerves."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded and took a few big sips.
In fact, he didn't drink much. After all, he was in Henan Province, and the people and things here were not as familiar to him as when he was in Peking, so he couldn't indulge himself too much.
Sure enough, halfway through the banquet, Wu Yingqiu began to recommend his son, disciples, and some relatives.
Some officials also submitted lists of people who had made meritorious contributions from various places.
Zhu Feng leaned on the couch and pinched his nose to wake himself up while talking.
He laughed and said, "It seems as if I have come here to give them an official position."
Nan Yan listened quietly beside him.
Zhu Feng looked at her: "Why aren't you talking?"
Nan Yan said softly, "After a while, my family will also become in-laws."
“…”
"It's really too early for this servant to say this."
“…”
"So as to avoid slapping yourself in the face later."
Zhu Feng couldn't help but smile.
He sighed deeply and continued, "But actually, I have thought about using your uncle before."
"oh?"
"However, his name was not on the list submitted today."
“…”
"The Duke never mentioned him at all."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and smiled, "He doesn't want to follow the path of a Duke, but rather the path of his own niece, that is, a servant."
Since they are all in-laws, why should we add bricks and tiles to other people's families?
Zhu Feng listened and nodded.
This Gu Tingqiu seems to be very sober.
However, at this time, the smell of alcohol was rising. I had just heard at the banquet that the wines prepared by the Duke were all aged and had a particularly strong aftertaste. Although I drank strong tea, I still felt a little sleepy.
He reached out and grabbed Nan Yan's wrist, pulling her into his arms.
"emperor……!"
Nan Yan blushed as he hugged her waist: "Don't be like this."
“…”
"The door is still open."
Zhu Feng half-closed his eyes and said, "Who dares to come in without my permission?"
Nan Yan suddenly felt a little shy, but finally stopped struggling and leaned obediently in his arms. Her cheeks felt a little itchy due to the stubble under his chin.
The soft and fragrant jade was in my arms, and the smell of wine also became comfortable.
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes. When Nan Yan thought he had fallen asleep, he said in a deep voice, "What do you think of your uncle? What kind of person is he?"
“…”
Nan Yan blinked.
After thinking for a while, she said seriously: "This servant has just met him for the first time today, and I don't know much about his character."
“…”
"But it seems that this person is very smart and sober."
“…”
"If you want to know whether he is a capable person or not, you have to look at how he does things."
“…”
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
Nan Yan looked at him quietly, thinking he had fallen asleep again.
But the next moment, Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Yes, that's right."
"emperor……"
"Whether I can become a wise ruler whose reputation will last for generations depends on how I govern this world."
“…”
“When a wise ruler governs the world, it is best to have three types of people under his command.”
Nan Yan asked curiously, "What three?"
"Wise ministers, capable officials, clean flow."
"A wise minister? A capable official? A clear stream?"
Nan Yan counted on her fingers and looked up at him: "Why these three?"
Zhu Feng slowly opened his eyes. Although he seemed drunk just now, his eyes were now extremely clear.
Zhu Feng said, "A wise ruler once said, 'The people are water, and the court is a boat. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it.'"
Nan Yan whispered, "Emperor Taizong of Tang."
"Well," Zhu Feng said, "What he said makes a lot of sense. The imperial court, or even a dynasty, is like a boat."
“…”
"I employ virtuous ministers. They are knowledgeable and well-informed, well-versed in history and the present. They understand current affairs and can point the way for my great ship. They can also identify problems on board and nip them in the bud."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Lord Heyi and Lord Jian are such wise ministers, aren't they?"
Zhu Feng nodded.
He continued, "A capable official is a sailor, carpenter, or even a cook on this ship."
“…”
"They dealt with some of the smallest, yet most concrete, matters of the dynasty. Things like defending against foreign enemies, building palaces, and even collecting taxes and levies, and judging lawsuits for the common people."
Nan Yan said: "Officials from all over the country are like this."
"Well," Zhu Feng continued, "Finally, there's the Qingliu."
Nan Yan asked, "Who are they on this ship?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "They are not from the ship."
“…”
"They are the things that decorate the ship, like the patterns on the side, the designs on the sails, and even the gorgeous clothes worn by everyone on board."
“…”
"Their existence tells everyone that my court is clean and honest, and my world is a peaceful and prosperous era."
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said softly, "I understand."
Jian Tongguang is such a clear stream.
A prosperous dynasty must have such people to make the people feel that the world is clear and bright.
Therefore, Zhu Feng did all this in order to create a prosperous era for this country and this world. Perhaps, the beginning of his seizure of the throne was not a good start.
But he wanted a good outcome.
Zhu Feng lowered his head and looked at the little girl in his arms who was looking at him seriously. Her eyes were glowing slightly, as if his face was glowing.
He laughed and said, "What are you looking at?"
“…”
Nan Yan was quiet for a while, then said, "I think Your Majesty can definitely do it!"
Zhu Feng smiled.
He said, "Whatever I want to do, I can definitely do it."
“…”
"But now, I have one more thing I want to do."
When Nan Yan heard this, she asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said with a smile, "I want a silly girl to stay by my side for the rest of my life. I want to go with her to see the prosperous world I have created."
“…”
Nan Yan felt her whole body go numb.
She bit her lower lip, endured the heat on her face, and reached out to hug his waist tightly.
Burying her face in his arms, she whispered, "Silly girl, say yes."
