Chapter 495: Undecent, Unrighteous, Ungentlemanly

Emperor Mingpei now likes to come to Chengqian Palace for dinner. Now they have finished eating. He coaxes Xinbao to drink ginger soup while he analyzes and explains things to her.

The twins also gathered around to listen, their big eyes sparkling as they listened very attentively.

Xinbao's biological clock was very accurate. It was already past her bedtime. She was tired after a whole day and was very sleepy. She barely finished drinking the ginger soup, leaned on his arm and fell asleep without knowing what was going on. She didn't listen at all.

Emperor Mingpei handed her over to Lady Lin and asked the twins, "What do you think?"

Brother Xiaowu said angrily, "I think it was absolutely right to drive Zheng Xuan away yesterday! He was so mean!! His Yeye and Daddy passed away, how sad must his grandma be? He lied and mentioned this, thinking that his grandma was upset so he didn't ask any more questions... It's so heartless!!"

Little Six also said: "From the time Zheng Xuan left the palace to the time his grandmother blocked his way, a whole day passed. His mother and grandmother must have been worried and anxious. Such a long time is enough for him to confess a hundred times, but he didn't confess! He is really unworthy of being a human being!!"

Brother Xiaowu said, "And think about it again, when we were talking that night, he suddenly mentioned his father... It's really..." He was at a loss for words, "I think, I think how can people be like this! It's really shameless!"

Indeed, thinking back on it, he suddenly mentioned "Dad" at that time because he was used to taking advantage of this to commit crimes. He wanted to draw others to ask about it and wanted to drag his deceased father to save face for himself. This really cannot be explained by his competitiveness.

It's just that his character is problematic.

Emperor Mingpei didn't expect that they paid attention to this.

However, every child has his or her own temperament. It is not necessary to focus on the overall situation to be a good child. This answer is also very sincere and filial. Emperor Mingpei was also very satisfied. He nodded and said gently: "It's good that you can think of this."

He asked Yan Shisheng again: "What do you think?"

Yan Shisheng was startled, then stood up quickly, and replied with his hands down: "Grandson feels that although Madam Zheng's feelings are pitiful, her actions are very inexplicable. You know, her actions clearly show that she has already regarded Huang Yeye, Daddy, and Xinbao as villains and bad people in her heart. What basis does she have for doing so? Grandson really wants to know what the basis of her thoughts is. Grandson is very unfair and indignant... Even if I forget my identity, grandson assumes that I am Madam Zheng. Grandson thinks that the best way is to take Zheng Xuan to a famous teacher immediately, either literary or martial arts."

"He was sent back and can't be a companion, so let him study hard. Knowing shame leads to courage, knowing weakness leads to strength, this is the normal way, right? Even if others don't accept him, the attitude has been shown. The things she is worried about can still be done in this way, but doing it that way is much more sincere and gentlemanly than this."

Emperor Mingpei smiled and nodded, then said, "Chang'er, tell me."

Yan Shichang was peeling melon seeds nearby, preparing them for his sister to take with her in the car tomorrow.

He always shielded himself from the outside world at such times. When he heard Emperor Mingpei calling him, he didn't think he was being called. When he was poked by his second brother, he said, "Huh?"

The second brother just wanted to hold his forehead: "Yeah, I want to ask your opinion."

"Ah!" Yan Shichang stood up quickly, at a loss, "My grandson hasn't read much, and he can't speak."

"It doesn't matter," Emperor Mingpei said gently, "Just say whatever you think of."

Yan Shichang was so anxious that he almost scratched his head. He looked at his father and his brother, but no one paid any attention to him.

Yan Shichang said: "Well, then I can say whatever I want."

Emperor Mingpei nodded very good-temperedly.

Yan Shichang said, "My grandson doesn't understand those great principles. I just want to say that if your child is in trouble and you have no one to back you up, and you want to seek justice from someone, then you can come to me! If you come to me, I will fetch water and chop firewood for you, and I will do anything for you. Why are you bullying my sister on the street? My sister is so young and delicate. What if she gets scared? I think this old lady did not handle this matter decently, not righteously, and not like a gentleman...

This is really simple and plain words.

Emperor Mingpei laughed and nodded: "Chang'er is a good brother."

Yan Shichang smiled foolishly.

Emperor Mingpei looked at Yan Shirong.

Yan Shirong stood up and walked over, lowering his hands and saying, "My grandson thinks what Xiaowu and Xiaoliu said makes sense. Zheng Xuan is indeed unworthy of being a man. Therefore, an incompetent son or grandson can easily bring down a family. Duke Xian and his son died for the country. They are indeed heroes, but it's a pity that there is no successor. The old lady's actions were indeed inappropriate, but it was understandable and exposed some problems."

He paused, "So my grandson thinks that, in addition to normal pensions, the widows of generals who died for the country can be given a token of gratitude at their discretion, and the level of the person they meet can be determined according to the level of the general. For example, a woman from a thousand households can hold this token to meet the local governor or the officials of the Dali Temple; for another example, a general or a woman or child from a noble family can hold this token to meet the emperor, the prince, or other people. In this way, the hearts of the soldiers can be reassured, and the widows will not have to worry about no one to help them... This token can be used at least once, and after it is used, the higher-ups will decide whether to take it back based on the situation..."

Emperor Mingpei had a smile on his face.

Yan Shirong's view is to focus on the big picture, but the most valuable thing is that he not only saw the problem, but also proposed a solution to the problem... It is an effective method, which is very simple for the court, and it will have a good reputation if it is spread out. It will indeed be useful in emergencies, and the soldiers on the border will indeed feel more at ease.

Emperor Mingpei was very satisfied and said, "Let's name this item 'Dengwentie'. I'll leave this matter to you."

Yan Shirong bowed in response.

Then Emperor Mingpei looked at Yan Qingshan.

Everyone thought that even the father would be tested.

Unfortunately, Emperor Mingpei is a very reliable person and usually won't test his father in front of his son.

He just said: "Qingshan, I am usually busy, you should go to the Shangshufang more often to inspect and examine it."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The subtext of this sentence is, since you are so good at teaching your son, why not take care of his younger brothers as well?

Yan Qingshan's expression remained unchanged and he stood up and answered.

Only then did Emperor Mingpei leave.

The next day, as several of her companions returned home after their break, Princess Zhenguo's reputation skyrocketed.

After all, people like Gan Baibi and others before, all of them were in high positions and had great power, so they certainly wouldn't talk about how they got along with the little princess outside... Just like when Xinbao visited several gardens before, each family didn't dare to say too much in detail.

But this time, many people saw it with their own eyes, so of course it became a hot topic.

Thousands of miles away.

Yun Biyi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was stunned for a long time before he slowly raised his hand and wiped the blood from his lips.

His face was filled with indignation, and he gnashed his teeth: "What did you do again! What did you do again! Why did your luck suddenly increase! Are you trying to kill me?!"

He angrily threw the teacup and other things beside him away, then reached out his fingers to the strip of cloth on his face and pulled it off violently.

When he had the cloth tied around his face, the lower half of his face looked extraordinarily handsome. Even though he was blind, he looked fragile yet elegant. But when the cloth was torn off, his eyes were immediately exposed.

His left eye was an ugly wrinkled scar, while his right eye was clearly black and white and was surprisingly intact.

He was also startled, and hurriedly picked up the strip of cloth and quickly tied it up. The side with the crane embroidered on it just happened to cover the scar, but the thin strip of cloth on the side where the crane's neck was wrapped around it couldn't block the view at all.

Yun Biyi reached out and touched it, feeling slightly relieved.

He was lost in thought for a moment, and murmured in a low voice: "I don't want to be your enemy, I just want to achieve the great way, why don't you let me go!!"
