Chapter 339
"Yes, we rarely care about specific matters now. As long as the general direction is good and we can give them some benefits to ensure that things proceed normally, we think it is worth it."
Wei Shuyu inherited some of her father Wei Zheng's character, but was much more tolerant. After this period of training, she became much more capable.
If it were before, he would never have said such words.
"I also understand that there is no right or wrong in this world, there are only interests. Even enemies can become friends in the face of huge interests." Fang Yiai said with emotion.
What should I say about Fang Yiai? According to later generations, he has no independent opinions, but his essence is not bad. Now that he can see through this, it can be seen that he has been trained.
These people had different situations in history, but none of them had good results. Changsun Chong was exiled to Lingnan, and there is no news about him after that.
Fang Yiai was implicated in the rebellion and his whole family was are not many records about Wei Shuyu, but after Li Shimin died in Wei Zheng in his later years, he did not like his descendants, and he completely disappeared in the long river of history.
But now they are together because of their relationship, and they seem to be doing well at this time. Ji Song himself doesn't know where they can go in the future.
After everyone finished speaking, Ji Song pondered for a moment and then said: "Although His Majesty did not remove me from my position as Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, he has not made any arrangements for me since I came back."
"So, I didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of Sinong Temple. Every time Liu Zhan and Yao Chang came to the Hou Mansion to discuss business, I kicked them out."
Du He and others looked at each other and saw the surprise in their eyes.
Although Ji Song is young, he is the founder who put Sinong Temple on the right track after all, and he also serves as the young minister of Sinong Temple. But what does His Majesty mean by this move? Ji Song ignored them and continued: "You are doing the right thing. Don't get too involved in specific affairs. As long as it doesn't cause a big mess and doesn't conflict with our established plan, it's okay to be more flexible."
"But after completing the Guanzhong area, stop immediately!"
"what?"
The three of them were shocked when they heard this. Was this asking them to stop the expansion of Sinong Temple? "why?"
Changsun Chong's expression was a little gloomy. He had long regarded Sinong Temple as a place to make contributions, and he was also good at dealing with government affairs, but now he wanted to stop?How is this possible?
Not paying attention to their expressions, he continued: "Sinong Temple is developing too fast. Don't you think some people are starting to be afraid of it?"
"you mean"
Du He said a little incredulously.
"Look at the number of officials in Sinong Temple now. It's a hodgepodge, and every force has a hand in it."
"The expansion of Sinong Temple is also the expansion of those people. This is not what His Majesty wants to see."
Changsun Chong's expression changed several times, but he finally sighed and said, "You mean His Majesty wants to clean up the inside of Sinong Temple?"
Ji Song nodded and said nothing, but this already showed his attitude!
No matter Wei Shuyu, Du He, Fang Yiai, or Changsun Chong were not stupid, they quickly thought of many things.
Stopping means that it cannot continue to expand, but it does not mean that it will no longer expand in the future. It is just that the emperor wants to clean up some people and let Sinong Temple be in his hands.
To be honest, if I say that I don't feel aggrieved, I won't even believe it.
It can be said that they grew up with Sinong Temple. Their feelings for Sinong Temple are not ordinary deep, and some have regarded its government affairs as their lifelong ideal.
Now that they have to stop their ideals, it’s strange that they feel happy!
They also understood what Ji Song said and stopped temporarily to give His Majesty time to clean up. After the cleaning was completed, they could start a new round of expansion.
But after the emperor cleans it up, will Sinong Temple still be Sinong Temple today?There will definitely be various constraints at that time, and it will be basically impossible to do whatever you want.
Ji Song didn't say anything either. Everyone seemed to be worried and had no interest in talking. After Chang Sun Chong said goodbye, several people also left one after another.
After sending them out, Du He said: "Is Your Majesty a bit overbearing?"
Ji Song glanced at him and went in directly.
When Ji Song walked away, Du He realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said. He looked around and found no one, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Changsun rushed back home and turned a deaf ear to the steward's greetings. He still didn't understand some things and wanted to ask his father for advice.
When I came to the study, I was a little hesitant when I was about to knock on the door.
"Come in when you're here, who are you showing this to?"
The door opened, and Changsun Wuji was looking at a book without a cover. When his son came in, his eyes did not leave the book.
"My son doesn't understand something, please clarify it!" Changsun Chong bowed and said.
As the legitimate son of the Changsun family, Changsun Wuji has extremely strict requirements for his son. Seeing his son like this, Changsun Wuji is also very happy! I have done really well at Sinong Temple during this period, and both Your Majesty and the Empress have praised me more than once.
He put down the book and looked at the content that originally required a dozen kilograms of bamboo slips to be recorded in a thin book. This made him deeply moved.
"This paper is really a good thing!"
He raised his head and said, "How is Du Xiang's health?"
Chang Sun Chong did not dare to neglect: "After Song Geer's treatment, he is now stable and I believe he will recover soon."
He came to his son, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what could make you so worried?"
Changsun Chong briefly summarized today's conversation and then stepped aside.
Changsun Wuji closed his eyes for a moment and said with some helplessness: "What Marquis Hao said is right, you should stop immediately after you finish in Guanzhong."
"After that, I will resign from my position at Sinong Temple, study hard at home, and prepare to marry Chang Le."
Changsun Chong was stunned. He didn't expect his father to say that? "Don't understand?" Changsun Wuji smiled.
Seeing his son nodding, he said: "Your Majesty has discussed this matter with me and the Prime Minister, and we all agreed that Sinong Temple cannot continue to develop like this."
"You have developed too fast in the past few years, so that's all. But some time ago, Ma Zhou, who was personally sent by His Majesty, found it difficult to move even an inch in Sinong Temple."
"Look what stupid things you are doing!" Changsun Wuji said angrily.
Seeing his embarrassed son, Changsun Wuji said nothing.
Instead, he warned: "Study with Ji Song more. He is still holding the position of Shaoqing of Sinong Temple. Do you think he will run to Sinong Temple if he is fine?"
"Believe it or not, after his wedding, the first thing he will do is to resign from his post. Alas, smart people are always one step ahead when doing things. Even I only realized it after His Majesty informed him."
"Go! Get things done in Guanzhong first, and let's talk about the rest later! Who knows what will happen?" Changsun Wuji pointed out.
Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, but he didn't understand anything. When he saw his father reading a book again, he opened his mouth, but finally withdrew.
