Chapter 330: Cool and refreshing
In late autumn, the climate becomes cooler.
There are colorful fallen flowers on the path of the Royal Garden.
The handsome man in white robe walked slowly, with an elegant and calm posture, like a banished immortal descending from the sky among the flowers, with an immortal posture and unparalleled elegance.
Yan Li was sitting in the warm pavilion, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He looked casually at King Yu who walked up to the pavilion, and smiled lazily: "Didn't you arrive in Jin Kingdom a long time ago? Why did you show up now?"
"I have to confirm whether Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is the one I'm waiting for." King Yu walked up to the Nuanning Pavilion, brushed his robe gracefully, and sat down opposite her. "After confirming the identity, I have to observe the Princess." The situation surrounding the princess.”
Yan Li hummed: "After the observation, what are the results?"
King Yu said calmly: "Before coming to Jin, many people told me that the four princes of Jin loved their sister so much that they wished they could hold her in their palms and pamper and protect her. However, after a period of observation, I found that this does not seem to be the case."
Yan Li took a sip of tea and said, "Rumors cannot be trusted at all."
"Yes." King Yu looked at Yan Li's face carefully, "The eldest princess's face is too deceptive to the world, so some people always think that your highness is easy to bully."
With her peerless appearance, age, and status as an orphan, she is easy to bully, isn't she?
King Yu looked away, raised his hand to pick up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yan Li raised her screen and stepped back to the side of the maid: "You guys go out first, I'll have a chat with King Yu alone."
"yes."
The two maids withdrew and stood where they could not hear their conversation.
Yan Li's eyes fell on King Yu's face: "What did the high priest say?"
"We cannot determine the best time yet." King Yu frowned, "In order to stabilize the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, the high priest temporarily allows the eldest brother to regent and supervise the country."
"That's all we can do for now." Yan Li hummed, "The high priest and the emperor are here, I have nothing to worry about."
King Yu frowned slightly: "I recently received a letter from Master. Some things may be different from what we expected."
"Huh?" Yan Li was confused, "What do you mean?"
"The truth about what happened to you."
Yan Li looked at him without saying a word.
"The person behind the Prime Minister is actually not interested in the throne. He doesn't even know the cause of this incident." King Yu clutched the tea cup, as if he was a little embarrassed to say it. "The night I found out the truth, I heard that the Prime Minister was beaten by him. There is only one breath left.”
Yan Li frowned: "Are you sure?"
King Yu nodded: "Master's letter should not be false."
"If that's the case, there's nothing to worry about for the time being. The debt between him and I will be settled when we return to the Southern Kingdom." Yan Li turned to look outside Nuanting, "The situation in the Jin Kingdom is complicated, and most of the people in the court are those who have supported them before." The prince’s party, I think it will take some time to secure the regent princess. There are too many things in their system and laws that need to be reformed, and these cannot be accomplished overnight.”
"Your Majesty plans to stay in Jin for a long time?" King Yu frowned, "The mess they are in is their own business, what does it have to do with us? If Your Majesty just wants to do something temporarily -"
"No." Yan Li slowly shook his head, "I did only have the idea of developing some power in Jin State before, but after I got here, I found that some things were more serious than I imagined. I want to do something for the women of Jin State. Let’s do something to fight for the rights that should belong to them.”
King Yu took a sip of tea in silence.
"She will pursue her own affairs in her position." Yan Li smiled faintly, "Since I am the eldest princess, I cannot just enjoy the power and glory without taking on some corresponding responsibilities."
Sitting back and enjoying the success has never been her style.
King Yu pondered for a moment and nodded: "I can understand your Majesty's thoughts, but there are so many unspeakable things in the world, can you handle it?"
Now it’s just the Kingdom of Jin, what about the other countries in the world?
From the perspective of the southern royal family, King Yu felt that their system was the most reasonable and tolerant in the world, but apart from that, there were eight other countries in the world.
In the Jin State, men are superior to women, in the Zhao State, broken sleeves are common, in the Jin State, there is great ambition, and in the Yan State, poison is used to harm people. If we have to control them one by one, how can we control them?
"One person certainly can't manage it, but he can promote some loyal and capable people." Yan Li's voice was gentle, unlike the sharp and cold voice when he was fighting with others in the hall. "If there are more loyal ministers, we can formulate some reasonable rules. Can’t you just handle it?”
Disapproval appeared on King Yu's face: "Your Majesty's idea is good, but I still feel that these things have nothing to do with us. Your Majesty's top priority is to find a way to return to the Southern Kingdom and manage the Southern River."
"As a disciple of the high priest of the Southern Kingdom, this is really not what you should say." Yan Li glanced at him, "How can you have any compassion for the world?"
King Yu was silent: "Isn't it enough that I love the people of the Southern Kingdom?"
"What if I want the Southern Kingdom to become the overlord of the world?" Yan Li asked, "Then aren't the people of all nine states in the world the people of the Southern Kingdom?"
King Yu was surprised: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"I have this idea for the time being." Yan Li's voice was calm and cold, "Although this may be an extremely long process."
"The general trend of the world must be unified, and the general trend of the world must be unified." King Yu took out a folding fan from his waist and fanned it gracefully, "Actually, if you want to be the hegemon of the world, you don't have to unify Kyushu, because the customs and sentiments of each country They are different and it is difficult to achieve unified governance.”
Yan Li looked at him thoughtfully.
"As long as the Southern Kingdom is respected in the end, and the kings of the world respect and obey, it will be the best result." King Yu looked at Yan Li, his eyebrows flashed with deep thought, "The reason why Your Majesty suddenly had such an idea should come from the war god Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom."
Yan Li was silent and sipped his tea silently.
Mu Cang.
It has been half a year since they last met, and I don't know what he has been doing recently.
"Even if the nine countries are united, according to convention, they still have to confer vassal kings to govern their respective territories." King Yu said calmly, shaking the folding fan in his hand constantly, "As long as the Southern Kingdom's military strength is stronger and the economy is more prosperous, other countries will naturally take the Southern Kingdom as the leader, and there is no need to stick to a certain form."
Yan Li raised his eyes and looked at him, with a subtle tone: "It is late autumn now. You are really elegant in this white robe and a folding fan, and it is cool and refreshing."
King Yu curled his lips: "The air in the territory of Jin Kingdom is not very good, which damages the image of this king who is pure and untainted."
