Chapter 222: One Prosperity, All Prosperity
"Have you ever thought about your own reputation by killing ministers like this?"
Wen Jin's attitude was meek: "My reputation is not important."
Yan Qing slapped him on the face with a weak slap, but more of a scolding tone: "You have completely forgotten the rules I taught you before."
"I have not forgotten." Wen Jin grabbed her hand and put it to his lips affectionately, "But didn't His Highness say it before? I want you to be honest and not lie. Young Master Wenrun is just my appearance. I am cruel and hypocritical in nature. , He was never a gentle man, but he just showed his true side this time.”
"Your reasons are quite high-sounding."
Wen Jin's expression was extremely innocent: "I tell the truth and I never dare to be sweet and flattering in front of His Highness."
The maid prepared the meal. Yan Qing stood up and walked to the table. He raised his hand to signal for others to leave, and then sat down and said, "Don't make enemies easily in the future. Be careful to offend the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. Then they will unite to impeach." you."
Wen Jin walked over and sat down next to her, "Your Highness."
"What you need to do is win over people's hearts." Yan Qing said, "Don't let people take the opportunity to really call you a 'sycophant'."
Wen Jin responded obediently: "I know."
"It's not a bad thing to make people fearful, but you can't go too far with anything." Yan Qing said, "It's better to be fearful and respectful. If the civil and military officials of the dynasty saw you and thought you were a man-eating tiger, they would not be able to work with you every day. Are you worried that your life will be lost if you are not careful? Are you afraid that you will catch them and kill them at any time? When everyone is afraid of you, they will have to find a way to get rid of you. "
Wen Jin listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, he nodded slowly: "Yes, I took note of it."
Yan Qing glanced at him: "Let them go back later and do whatever they need to do. Don't delay government affairs."
"yes."
"There's another thing I'd like to remind you." Yan Qing lowered his head and took a bite of food. "After we get married, your fate will be tied to mine. You will both prosper and suffer. Don't be too smart, otherwise I will definitely let you." You regret it.”
Wen Jin was puzzled: "What is your highness referring to?"
"Don't act stupid."
Wen Jin curled his lips slightly: "I still want to grow old with His Highness, and I won't be too smart."
If he is just a powerful minister, in order to protect His Highness, he may make himself an unscrupulous person, do all the ruthless things by himself, and bear all the infamy by himself. His Highness only needs to be a tolerant and benevolent emperor to enjoy the world's subjects. She sincerely admires and worships her, causing everyone to ignore whether her throne is justifiable.
But he wanted to spend his whole life with her.
Too much name-calling is not good for him, nor is it good for her.
Wen Jin then began to think that he should not do things that frightened the ministers in the future, and should no longer be cruel and ruthless. He should learn to win over people's hearts, use kindness and power at the same time, and learn to make friends with others, and make friends sincerely.
But you can’t make friends with everyone.
Officials who are upright and honest, officials who are loyal to the emperor and love the people, officials who have some minor flaws but generally do not make any big mistakes, and officials who are capable but also have weaknesses... As for those who are stupid, incompetent or cunning, they can be dealt with slowly and wait until the court Select a group of capable upstarts, and kick out those incompetent officials who rely on their elders.
"When the new emperor ascends the throne, Enke should be given the opportunity." Wen Jin raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qing, "For the students in the world, this is a great opportunity that comes from heaven."
Yan Qing said nothing.
Wen Jin lowered his eyes: "Those students in the Suzaku Palace are all His Highness's favorites. They can pass Enke and enter the court as soon as possible..."
"Talk less while eating." Yan Qing said calmly, "Can't you even stop your mouth with rice?"
Wen Jin fell silent for a moment.
