"Lin'er, what do you think of?" Yu Yuanpu knew that although her daughter was inexperienced in all aspects because of her age, she was born wise and could always see things that ordinary people could not see. She must have a point in saying that.
"My father, since ancient times, whether he is a loyal and virtuous minister or a sycophantic person, as long as he can become an important minister, he has the ambition far beyond ordinary people. If you say something disrespectful, even you, my father, have not escaped." Speaking of this, Yu Qinglin has a guilty look at Yu Yuanpu.
Yu Yuanpu smiles at Yu Qinglin's words. Although Yu Qinglin's words are not pleasant to hear, it's a fact. Even if a person has great virtue and talent, he can't be in a high position without ambition. It's just that in ordinary times, people use soft words, such as ambition or the world. But no matter how to whitewash, its essence is still the same.
Take him as an example. Although he is a prince of the royal family, if he has no ambition in his heart, he will end up just a idle prince. If we had not ventured into the battlefield in those days, how could we have become one of the three phases of today's daqianwaige? Why is ambition not a kind of ambition.
Seeing her daughter's eyes flashing, she was obviously worried. Yu Yuanpu waved his hand with a smile and said, "lin'er, go on."
Seeing that his father was not angry, Yu Qinglin also said with a smile, "father, as the ancients said, only fame and utensils, not dummies. Although this sentence refers to the princes and monarchs in the period of the imperial family, it is still applicable in today's court. It is just a change of form, that is, no matter what position you hold, you will take care of the power in your hand. For example, most of the important ministers in the imperial court are those who became officials during the reign of the emperor's grandfather, and then were promoted by the emperor's uncle and aunt. Most of these people are over 60 years old, but they still live in the center of the imperial court. We can see that they have never heard of giving up their talents. "
Yu Yuanpu looked at his daughter in surprise. He didn't expect her to think so deeply. The ministers of the Hongxi Dynasty, except those who were in the era of the rise of the three heroes at that time, were all old ministers, as Yu Qinglin said.
Like Zhuge Xingzhi, he used to be a lecturer in palace studies and an enlightening teacher for his brothers and sisters. Now he is over the age of sixty years and is a real old minister. However, he has never heard of the idea of resigning from the imperial office to live a happy life. Yaxiang Liu budoubted that he was not much younger than Zhuge Xingzhi. Although he was not 70 years old, he was almost fast, and he didn't hear that he wanted to be an official.
Moreover, there are many such senior ministers in the cabinet and the ministries of the central government. In other words, the prime ministers in the cabinet and the ministers in the ministries are mostly senior ministers over the age of 60, while the young and powerful ministers like min Wensheng and Shen Wujiu are in the minority.
On the contrary, the important ministers of waige are relatively younger. Lu Chun, Gu Huairen and himself are all in their 40s, and Jing Wengong, the Minister of the Ministry of war, is not in his 50s. The former important ministers of waige, like Lei xuanjian, the commander-in-chief of Guimian army, have already retired from the military. They just have a casual job in waige.
So why are those old ministers, who are already 60 or 70 years old, still in office, thinking about their country and their country? Or power? In Yu Yuanpu's view, the two should be both, and the latter should have a larger proportion. After all, there are a lot of talents, and no one can replace them.
We should know that the rise of the three heroes brought a large number of capable officials, in addition to the three heroes and Gu Huairen, zhugeju, min Wensheng and others who were not far behind the three heroes. Nowadays, there are many people who are the head of a county or the chief officials of the Department. Whether they are competent or official, they can completely take over the position of the senior minister in the imperial court. However, the more they go up, the fewer positions they will have. The senior minister will not retire, and they can only stay in the offline positions.
"But what does this have to do with your brother Lu que?" After thinking for a while, Yu Yuanpu asked.
"After seeing my father, I admit what the child said." Yu Qinglin asked with a smile, "since all the important ministers in the court are concerned about their own power, cousin Lu que, one of the most powerful ministers today, why not? Can't cousin Lu que know that he and sister Tianxiang are both the future assistant officials identified by Uncle Huang? He couldn't have missed his cousin's talent and wisdom. In this case, why did he divide his power and let sister Tianxiang lead the army alone? You should know that the nature of Tianxiang's elder sister's leadership is absolutely different from that of other military commanders. "
Yu Yuanpu's face changed and his eyes flashed. Not long ago, when the battle of beast tide ended, Yu Tianxiang, the eldest princess, was promoted to the commander of Fengxiang army, replacing Gu Jieyun, the temporary commander of Fengxiang army, as the first person of Fengxiang army. Although Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi knew that the Fengxiang army would be handed over to Yu Tianxiang sooner or later from the day when Yu Tianxiang entered the army, and they were well prepared for this, this day came too soon, and it became a reality before the end of the battle in southern Xinjiang.
Yu Yuanpu's psychology is very clear. The reason why Yu Tianxiang became commander-in-chief of Fengxiang army so quickly is not because the Emperor didn't trust them, nor because his brother wanted to control Lu Que's power in southern Xinjiang. On the one hand, the purpose was to stop the officials who were worried about Lu's excessive power; on the other hand, it was to give Yu Tianxiang a chance to establish his prestige.
In other words, the emperor wanted to unify Southern Xinjiang and support a new generation of courtiers headed by Lu Que and Yu Tianxiang, who were the heartfelt courtiers left by the emperor to the crown prince Yu Minghao. Then the eldest princess Yu Tianxiang must have a matching achievement, which is not only the cultural achievement of pacifying and governing the hometown of Tianxing, We should also have the military and military achievements of opening up Xinjiang and destroying the country.
It's just that his brother's meaning is obscure. Now Lu que, the first person in southern Xinjiang, even if he ignores it or pretends to be confused, he doesn't believe that his brother will say anything. After all, not everyone of the assistant princesses of Da Qian's dynasties has the same prestige as his elder sister.
Moreover, as far as the general situation is concerned, it is far more appropriate for Yu Tianxiang to stay in the hometown of Tianxing than for her to lead the army to fight for military achievements. She is Princess Daqian. It's more secure for her to appease the families of Tianxing and promote the political leaders of Daqian. Because Yu Tianxiang represents not only a commander-in-chief of Daqian army, but also a minister in charge of local government. She also represents the attitude of Daqian royal family towards Tianxing. She can pacify the families of Tianxing.
However, Lu que attracted the attention of Nanli's King Li Yongxian with his own army, and then sent a partial division to attack Nanli's hinterland from tianxinggujun. It's hard to say if it was Wei Jiu's badminton army, but Fengxiang's army was useless. Lu que had not returned to the imperial palace to report on Gu Jieyun, and Su Leyi, who was about to become the head of Qixia academy, was useless, It's just Yu Tianxiang, a new soldier in the battlefield.
Seeing that his father fell into thinking, Yu Qinglin said, "father, on the surface, it's cousin Lu que who understands the unspoken meaning of Uncle Huang's edict. But on the deeper side, cousin Lu que doesn't care about Yu Tianxiang's power. So why doesn't he care? "
"Why?" Yu Yuanpu asked.
Yu Qinglin sighed a long time and said helplessly, "father, we all know that cousin Lu que didn't mean to enter the outer Pavilion before the battle of Tianxing, or lead the army to destroy the animal tide and attack Nanli. If it wasn't for his uncle's kindness, if it wasn't for the filial piety of his mother and son, and if it wasn't for the righteousness of his family and country imposed on him, what would he think of his choice? "
Yu Yuanpu can't help but fall into silence after hearing the speech. For a long time, he said with some emotion, "lack of son seems to be easygoing and benevolent, but he has his own opinions in his heart. If you didn't have your uncle and aunt, I'm afraid he would not have participated in the national affairs."
"Not bad." Yu Qinglin nodded and said, "cousin Lu que has learned from Duke Wei and Wu Zhihou, but what he met was not Duke Wei and Wu Zhihou in the most high spirited period."
At this point, Yu Qinglin got up and went to the door to look out. He saw that there were no idle people except the soldiers who were guarding. After closing the door, he continued to say, "father, we all know where they have gone in the 12 years since they disappeared. According to the child's imagination, with the wisdom of Duke Wei and Marquis Wu, they had already seen through the rise and fall of the world of mortals and the change of dynasties during the period of not returning to the mountains, So as to have a clear idea. This is why Duke Wei did not return to the army after his return, but wrote books in the government. Cousin Lu que has been influenced by this since he was a child. What does his father think he really cares about? "
"Father, I understand. Qinglin, you've really grown up. You're no longer the playful young princess in Zhongyang palace." When Yu Yuanpu heard what Yu Qinglin said, he looked at the woman with great emotion. His emotion was not only because of his daughter, but also because of Lu que.
Yu Qinglin smelt Yan's sweet smile and asked, "since my father has understood, does he have a solution?"
"Qinglin, you have spent a year with queer in the school. Although it's not a match day and night, queer's several trips and banquets in Baizhen building are all invited to you. What kind of person do you think he is?" Yu Yuanpu did not answer her daughter's question, but asked rhetorically.
"The gentleman is as gentle as jade." Yu Qinglin thought about it and gave his own answer.
But Yu Yuanpu was not satisfied with the answer. He asked again, "lin'er, you know that's not what my father asked."
Yu Qinglin's eyes flashed a complicated light and said, "cousin Lu Que and all the people he met don't need to talk about it. If you really want to talk about it, it should be that power can't change his ambition, wealth can't move his heart. Compared with the delicious food, cousin Lu Que should prefer the mountain and wild dishes of Qingxin nature. If you compare them with Guo Junjie, Lu's cousins are Lin Sheng and Ren wuhui, but not Bai paojun and zhugelin. "
"Do you mean that queer has long been willing to leave Daqian?" Yu Yuanpu said, looking up suddenly.
The difference between Shuangying and Sanjie and Sihao is that Lin Sheng and Ren wuhui resigned and went to seclusion after Daqian established the country smoothly. From then on, there were only a few rumors in the countryside, but they never really appeared in front of the world. And the three heroes and four heroes stayed, which led to the mansion of several Guogong in today's Daqian. Her daughter, Yu Qinglin, Lin Sheng and Ren wuhui, talk about Lu que. Obviously, she thinks that whether Gao Jue attaches great importance to power or gold and silver, Da qian can't keep Lu Que in the end.
"Father is wrong." Yu Qinglin shook his head and said, "my son has already said that cousin Lu que is different from everyone. His heart has never been put on Daqian, so how can he leave. Perhaps in Lu's heart, the only person who really cares about him is his friends and relatives, and Gu Qingcheng is the only one who can really enter his heart. "
"Father." Seeing Yu Yuanpu's deep thinking, Yu Qinglin said, "I always think that uncle Huang's kindness to Lu Que's cousin is due to his understanding of this, and even makes him the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang at the age of 17. It's just because my aunt understands this that she persuades him with filial piety. But as long as cousin Lu wants to wipe out Nanli so that Daqian can unify the thirty-six counties in southern Xinjiang, no matter how great the grace is, there is no reason for his aunt to restrain him. At that time, unless cousin Lu wants to stay, no one can stop him from leaving. "
"Oh, how could that be." Yu Yuanpu showed a complex wry smile after listening.
It's not that Yu Yuanpu didn't listen to Yu Chuqing, his elder sister, about Lu's past, but he didn't pay attention to it. Because a person's life is long and short, but there is one thing that does not change, that is, the pursuit of each age group is different. What Lu wants is after 50 or 60 years old, after the prosperity of the world, the pursuit of returning to the ID, but it should not be the pursuit of a high spirited young man.
However, he did not expect that Lu que could really keep everything away from his heart when he was young. This explains why Lu que gave Yu Tianxiang the power to fight for military achievements and the chance to compete with him in the future. If this is true, it can be predicted that when the war is over, Daqian will lose two famous generals who can suppress an era, one is Lu Chun, Duke of Wei, and the other is Lu que. In Yu Yuanpu's opinion, such a loss is even greater than when Qingyang people went south to fight in Lanhe river.
"Father, since you know, do you have a solution?" Yu Qinglin asked again.
"Why, do you want to stay in Daqian?" Yu Yuanpu looks at the worried Yu Qinglin and asks.
