Zheng Haoran quickly understood what she meant and answered seriously: "I am married to Ah Tao. I want my children to be able to stand upright in the sun in the future..." He paused and whispered: "Study, become an official, and make a name for themselves."
Yan Shiyue nodded and repeated: "Studying, becoming an official, and making a name for yourself are very easy. What about you?"
Zheng Haoran pondered for a moment and said, "We originally thought that the two of us would be willing to do anything for the Prime Minister, in exchange for the innocence of our future children."
Yan Shiyue nodded: "I understand."
Only then did she put away the papers and put them in her sleeve pocket to show that she had received them.
Then she said, "Listen, you are really amazing, but I have some weird habits. For example, I cannot accept people snooping into other people's privacy for no reason. What I mean is, if I weigh the pros and cons and agree that some extraordinary measures can be used, I will use them. And if sometimes I need to investigate a person, I will do so. Or if I think these people are threatening, I can also investigate this person first to prevent any trouble."
She paused. "But, if you check for no reason, and it involves some people's privacy, I will... I will feel uncomfortable."
Zheng Haoran was truly stunned.
He originally thought that Yan Shiyue was unhappy because she felt offended, because he did not take her status and position into consideration when investigating... She might feel offended and unsafe, but he did not expect that she was unhappy purely because of "privacy"?
Or should I say, unhappy for others?
...
...
Yan Shiyue continued, "But I can't say whether this is right or wrong, it's just that I personally don't like it. So, now, I give you a choice. First, I can recommend you to the emperor or the prince, they are people who value "results" more. With your abilities, you will definitely be reused, and your children will definitely be able to stand out. If the emperor or the prince doesn't do enough, you can come to me then.
"Secondly, if you follow me, you must act completely in accordance with my preferences. I will not ask you to change your habits, because, how should I put it, you are already people of the world, and your familiarity with people of the world is your strength... My idea is that if a child wants to succeed, he should first have a pair of excellent parents, so I hope that you will use the means you are good at to take the right path, and then make yourself successful, openly and honestly, and then think about the children's problems."
Zheng Haoran looked at her.
He suddenly remembered a sentence.
He who steals a hook will be put to death, and he who steals a country will become a prince.
He was overthinking. He always thought that he was a liar, Jiang Henbie was also a liar, and Yan Shiyue hired a liar.
But he didn't think that she had looked beyond her purpose and identity and saw his ability... It was the same at this time. She recognized their abilities, but asked them to "use the means you are good at and take the right path."
At this moment, he understood why Jiang Henbie, such a shrewd and calculating person, would be willing to be used by her.
Zheng Haoran and Jiang Tao looked at each other, knelt down and saluted: "We are willing to acknowledge you as our master and will never disobey you for the rest of our lives."
"Okay," Yan Shiyue said, "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'The thief cries 'Catch the thief?'"
Zheng Haoran understood immediately, and then was a little surprised: "Master wants us to try the case?"
"right."
Yan Shiyue asked someone to introduce them to Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng is secretly protected by the prince and gradually rises to prominence in the Ministry of Justice, but there is no Zhan Zhao by his side... So Yan Shiyue prepares to give him two generals.
Zheng Haoran is in the open, and Yan Shiyue bought a small courtyard for Jiang Tao. Jiang Tao is his wife on the surface, so she can certainly assist him secretly.
Bao Zheng was an upright but not pedantic person. After Zheng Haoran was sent there, Bao Zheng soon felt that they had met too late. Then Yan Shiyue quietly asked for an official position for him, allowing him to follow Bao Zheng with a legitimate reason.
You know, with Jiang Hen's other great achievements, he could be awarded a title of nobility. So it would be a favor for him to take care of his junior nephews.
This is a later story.
After solving this problem, Yan Shiyue took out the papers and looked at them carefully.
These people have been away from Chang'an for a long time, but they are all famous royal relatives, so they must be very concerned about the developments in Chang'an City.
In recent years, Dayan has made many big moves, and almost all of them are related to Yan Shiyue's name.
Therefore, among these people, quite a few really have their eyes on her.
For example, in Prince Xin’s home.
Prince Xin was also a military general, the eleventh in line. She sensed an aura in him that was similar to that of Yan Chengyuan and Huo Qijing, and felt that he should be a relatively upright person.
Princess Xin did not come, but he brought his eldest son and second son. The second son was a scholar, and he wanted to please her by giving her gifts in order to let her stay in Chang'an City.
Well, you don’t have to worry about gift-giving for now.
There was another one, Emperor Ming Yan's sister, Princess Jiade, who also came back with her husband.
Princess Jiade was not the biological sister of Emperor Ming Yan, but was registered under the name of the Empress Dowager. Her biological mother was a palace maid who had a good relationship with Emperor Ming Yan.
Princess Jiade also wanted to take advantage of this incident and Emperor Ming Yan's mood at the moment to stay in Chang'an City.
I heard that this person has fainted from crying twice and a royal physician has been called in... I guess this plan is already half successful.
But the paper said that the princess's son was a playboy. After meeting her, he kept praising her for her beauty... He thought he was very capable and wanted to have some fun with her.
There are often stupid people, but you don't need to pay attention to them.
No, wait!
This... young master named Ye Huaiting, favors his concubine over his wife?
He brought a concubine, a Miao girl, who could control Gu? ?
Then this young master also wanted to stay in Chang'an City, thinking that if he couldn't hook up with her, he would cast a spell on the people around her, and the candidates he had his eyes on were Qu Sinian and Meng Yiqiu? ?
Yan Shiyue was so angry that she laughed.
She was originally quite nervous when she saw the Gu and the like, but in the end... the person they chose made her a little happy. Does this count as being an innocent victim?
Yan Shiyue smiled and called a few shadow guards to protect the two of them respectively.
It seems that Su Ji had said before that he wanted to study the Gu worm. Now that he has the microscope, he can take a closer look at what the Gu worm is.
But according to Su Ji, the kind of poisonous insect that can be controlled remotely is absolutely impossible to exist, and it is even more unrealistic to say that it can enter the brain with a wave of the sleeve. Therefore, there are actually only two real ways to poison someone. One is to eat it, and the other is to have an external injury and place the poison on the wound. Also, it seems that crawling into the ear or nostrils is also possible, but it is questionable.
