Chapter 180 The General Trend of the World

Wen Jin felt that the atmosphere at this time was particularly good, so good that one could not help but be intoxicated by it.

Walking to the depths of the garden, Wen Jin quietly turned his head to look at Yan Qing, and the hand hanging by his side was a little eager to move. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and hooked Yan Qing's hand as if nothing had happened, and slowly held it in his palm.

"The night is really beautiful tonight." Wen Jin spoke in an extremely gentle voice, "The flowers in the garden are also particularly beautiful."

Yan Qing's voice was leisurely: "Really?"

Wen Jin hummed, and a smile rose at the corner of his lips: "But in front of Your Highness, all the scenery can only be reduced to a foil."

"Slippery tongue."

Wen Jin pursed his lips: "Is what I said true? I dare not deceive Your Highness."

Yan Qing looked down at the hands of the two people, smiled lightly, and said nothing.

The night is indeed good. The two of them walked quietly in the garden, just like an ordinary pair of lovers under the flowers and the moon, a romantic tryst, silent is better than sound.

"Mu Han and Chu Yanling's attitudes are somewhat unexpected, and they are more straightforward than I expected." Yan Qing turned his head to look at him, "What did you say to them?"

Wen Jin shook his head: "The situation in the world is like this. They are not fools. They can naturally analyze the pros and cons and understand who is better for them as emperor."

Yan Qing said in a faint voice: "No matter who is the emperor, it is not a good thing for the vassal kings to have too much power."

"I know." Wen Jin's voice was calm, but it revealed convincing meticulousness and wisdom. "The vassal kings' duties are to guard the four directions, first to protect the local people and ensure that the people live and work in peace, and second to prevent foreign invasions and protect the territory of Dayong. They should have military power in their hands, but the military power cannot be so strong as to threaten the imperial power."

If the power of the vassal kings is so great that it can threaten the imperial power, then whether they have this ambition or not, the country will not be far from falling apart.

Because the power has been divided, officials belonging to the vassal kings will naturally have a heart of disloyalty. Over time, some people will inevitably have a different heart.

Although the general trend of the world is that unity will eventually lead to division, and division will eventually lead to unity, the integrity of a country's territory is not only related to the power and dignity of the royal family, but also to the livelihood of the people. Once civil strife occurs, the first to suffer are the unarmed people.

After the civil strife, the foreign enemy invades, and the consequences are even more disastrous.

Internal and external troubles have always been closely followed and cannot be ignored.

"Occasionally, I will think that the royal family has failed me, and the scholars of the world have failed me. Why should I think about the people of the world?" Yan Qing smiled coldly, "However, after calming down, I actually understand in my heart that the people are innocent, they should not become abandoned children on my road to revenge, and the suffering of the people is not the result I want to see."

"Your Highness is kind-hearted and has never changed." Wen Jin held her hand tightly, his voice slightly tight, "It was before, and it is now. The royal family has failed Your Highness, they are stupid, and the scholars are blind and deaf, and reading is useless."

Yan Qing was silent.

"Your Highness can use smart and wise people in the future. Those pedantic and dull scholars can be used."

Yan Qing tilted her head: "I was wrong just now. The royal family has let you down."

"It's the same." Wen Jin shook her head, "If you let your Highness down, you have let me down. Your Highness and I are one. There is no difference between you and me."

Yan Qing sneered: "No difference between you and me?"

Wen Jin restrained his expression: "Your Highness has promised to let me sleep in your bed tonight, which means that I can even occupy your bed. Is there any closer relationship in the world than this?"

Yan Qing was speechless for a moment.

"It's getting late, Your Highness, go back and rest early?" Wen Jin pursed his lips and smiled, "I will help Your Highness bathe."

"Do you know that the main wife needs to be dignified and reserved?" Yan Qing tilted his head to look at him, "Your behavior will be regarded as a flatterer in the eyes of many scholars."

"I am only like this in private." Wen Jin's voice was soft, "I will remain dignified and reserved in front of others, and will not give people a chance to talk about it."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "I thought you would say that you don't care what others think."

"You have to care." Wen Jin shook his head slowly, "After Your Highness sits in that position, he can no longer do whatever he wants like now. To govern the world, he must always maintain his dignity, so that the civil and military officials can be in awe, and only by using both kindness and power can people be willing to do things, and only by being fair and clear about rewards and punishments can people truly respect him. My duty is to assist Your Highness, not to hold him back."
