Officialdom is much more complicated than ordinary people imagine.

China's thousands of years of officialdom culture has resulted in too many official articles and intrigues.

This is also the reason why Zhao Ji's ordinary words and expressions will trigger many speculations among the officials.

In fact, in modern times, when leaders of various countries make public speeches, the intelligence systems of other countries will conduct a lot of analysis through videos.

Even a change in sitting posture will lead to inferences about the health status of leaders of various countries.

There were no cameras in the Song Dynasty, but now Zhao Ji’s officials,

Most of them rose to the top by pondering Zhao Ji's joys, anger, and hobbies. When it comes to analyzing Zhao Ji, I'm afraid it's not inferior to modern analysis techniques.

But Zhao Ji never expressed his stance and kept asking Shen Yue for his opinion, causing everyone to start analyzing Shen Yue.

In fact, these days, most of Lan Xiuxuan's ministers have been thinking about Shen Yue's character.

Shen Yue is wild and unruly,

This is obvious.

Because no matter how absurd they are,

I have never met anyone who hopes to be a prince-in-law.

In an instant, he went to a brothel to fool around.

Shen Yue, who went to fool around with women, couldn't get Cui Niannu, so he simply chose to destroy Cui Niannu, then made Cui Niannu disappear, and finally sealed Niannujiao.

Cui Niannu's whereabouts are unknown. Some people think that Shen Yue imprisoned her!

Of course, this information was obtained from the people around the prince and Cai You.

When she was in Niannujiao, the conversation between Cui Niannu and Shen Yue had another mystery. She did not convince Shen Yue, but the biggest use was that she successfully guided the secular public opinion and convinced other observers.

Most people don’t believe that Cui Niannu is a fine work of the Jin Dynasty, but if there are men who can’t get Cui Niannu and want to destroy Cui Niannu,

Most people think it's excusable.

The man who destroyed Cui Niannu also destroyed Niannujiao, the holy place in the hearts of men that had stood in the capital for many years.

It can be said that he has the right to do whatever he wants.

This willful man originally had an accomplice named Chen Dong, but when Chen Dong was imprisoned, Shen Yue refused to give up, which shows his ruthlessness and unrighteousness.

But Shen Yue's seizure of land gave him some favor with the people.

In the eyes of the people, Shen Yue was a good person and a great master by doing practical things, but most of the officials in the court did not think so.

Showmanship is not only a modern thing.

If we talk about showing off in ancient times, it is actually not inferior to modern times. The emperor did not raise capable ministers and did not eliminate treacherous ministers. In fact, they were all preparing for the next generation.

Once the next generation comes to the throne, they will re-appoint virtuous ministers and eradicate traitors. This will naturally give a stimulant to a society plagued by serious illnesses and give the people hope.

If you have hope, you can still survive like a fool.

Dynasties in the past have relied on this kind of booster to maintain their decadent operations.

By extension, if the emperor wants to re-appoint someone, he must first let the person show off.

In modern times, it is called grassroots experience and overseas gold plating. In ancient times, it was similar.

Zhao Ji wanted to confiscate Li Yan's land, but it was just a matter of words.

Li Yan may have done many things wrong, but he was right about one thing. His land actually belonged to Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji could use it with just a flip of his palm.

But why did Zhao Ji leave it to Shen Yue to take back the land and return it to the people? That was just to build Shen Yue's prestige!

Over the years, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Wang Fu and others have probably relied on this method to rise to power from unknown people. Now that the ministers saw Zhao Ji's use of Shen Yue, they naturally had the same idea.

Why does the emperor trust Shen Yue so much?

This is something that no one knows except Li Bin and Zhao Ji themselves.

But Zhao Ji's intention to focus on cultivating Shen Yue was clearly visible to everyone!

The ministers thought of too much, but they did not expect that the person Shen Yue asked for advice was actually Cai Ji!

Among today's courtiers, Cai Chi is not ranked at all. When asking for policy, one has to express his opinions according to his seniority, isn't it?

Some people lament that things may change, while others think that this Shen Yue is just as confused as Zhao Ji.

Cai Ji was stunned for a long time, "Master Shen, how can you dare to discuss national affairs in such a humble position?"

Shen Yue said calmly, "Do you love your mother?"

The ministers roared slightly.

Cai Ji's expression changed, and Cai Jing's face also looked a little strange. He didn't expect Shen Yue to directly greet his wife.

"Can't we say this?" Shen Yue said calmly.

Cai Wei looked slightly angry and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Shen, what do you mean by this?"

Shen Yue stared at Cai Ji for a long time, "I don't know since when did respecting and loving someone become something that cannot be asked or said."

Cai Wei was startled for a moment. When ordinary people hear Shen Yue's questions, they often think that the other party is provoking, and Cai Wei is no exception.

But hearing what Shen Yue said made him feel that he was too sensitive again. After a slight breath, Cai Wei finally said, "I love my mother."

Some people shook their heads in disapproval, while others pondered Shen Yue's intentions...

Shen Yue smiled and said, "If you really love your mother and she has a problem, how would you deal with it?"

Cai Chi's expression changed again.

This question sounds very simple, but to answer it is as embarrassing as going to the hospital to protect your daughter-in-law or mother after they fall into the water.

"Master Shen..." Cai Ji protested again.

Shen Yue interrupted, "Won't this problem arise?"

Cai Ji was speechless.

Of course this problem will arise, but under the customs emphasized by the Song Dynasty, this is an extremely contradictory problem.

Since the Han Dynasty, it has been emphasized that the king is the guide for the ministers, the father is the guide for the son, and the husband is the guide for the wife. By the Song Dynasty, the father is not wrong, and it is almost a textbook answer.

Textbooks can also be wrong.

But at that time, few people in the world could question this.

Shen Yue asked the question about whether her mother was at fault. It didn't seem that sharp, but the essence was not much different.

Cai Chi was silent, and someone on the side said, "Master Shen, I think Confucius has said something about his parents' advice, but he didn't obey his will, but he respected him without disobeying him, and he worked hard without complaining."

Shen Yue looked at the person who spoke and saw that the person was well-dressed and his appearance was as impeccable as the scale on a watch. He asked, "Where is this gentleman from?"

Everyone looked at each other, secretly thinking that you have the emperor's trust, but no one cares about you, so you don't know any of the courtiers?

Zhao Ji said aside, "This is Geng Nanzhong, Prince Zhan Shi... direct bachelor of Huiyou Pavilion."

The officials were startled again.

They did not expect that Zhao Ji would act as an introducer, and they were also uneasy about the title Zhao Ji adopted.

Although Zhao Ji was the emperor, in order to show his closeness to his ministers, the emperor would also use official titles, or titles such as "Ai Qing" to draw closer to each other.

In the past, Zhao Ji mostly expressed his love for the ministers in the court, but he addressed Cai Jing by his first name, and the same was true for Geng Nanzhong.

The more this happens, the more uneasy it becomes for the officials, who don't understand what's going on.

Geng Nanzhong was also aware of the problem of address and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am so happy to see you hunting for a moment that I can't help but talk too much. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
