Chapter 330: Cool and Refreshing
In late autumn, the weather gradually cools down.
The path in the Imperial Garden is covered with falling flowers.
A handsome man in a white robe walks slowly, his posture is elegant and calm, like a banished immortal who has descended from the sky and landed among the flowers, with an immortal figure and unparalleled elegance.
Yan Li sat in the warm pavilion, holding a cup of hot tea, looking at Yu Wang who walked up to the pavilion nonchalantly, and smiled lazily: "Didn't you arrive in Jin a long time ago? Why did you show up now?"
"I have to confirm whether Her Royal Highness the Princess is the one I'm waiting for." Yu Wang walked up to the warm pavilion, elegantly brushed his robe, and sat down opposite her. "After confirming the identity, I have to observe the situation around the Princess."
Yan Li hummed: "After observation, what is the result?"
Yu Wang said calmly: "Before coming to Jin, many people told me that the four princes of Jin love their sister very much, and they want to hold their sister in their palms and pamper and protect her, but after a period of observation, it seems that this is not the case."
Yan Li took a sip of tea: "Rumors cannot be trusted."
"Hmm." Yu Wang looked at Yan Li's face carefully, "The Princess's face is too deceptive, so there are always people who think that Her Royal Highness is easy to bully."
With a peerless and unworldly face and a young age, coupled with the identity of an orphan who has been living under someone else's roof since childhood, isn't she easy to bully?
King Yu retracted his gaze, raised his hand to pick up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yan Li raised his hand to dismiss the maid beside him: "You go out first, I will talk to King Yu alone."
"Yes."
The two maids retreated and automatically walked to a place where they could not hear the conversation between the two.
Yan Li's eyes fell on King Yu's face: "What did the high priest say?"
"It is not possible to determine the best time for the time being." King Yu frowned, "In order to stabilize the civil and military officials in the court, the high priest temporarily let the eldest brother regent to supervise the country."
"It can only be done this way for now." Yan Li hummed, "The high priest and the emperor are here, and I have nothing to worry about."
King Yu frowned slightly: "I recently received a letter from Master, and some things may be different from what we expected."
"Huh?" Yan Li was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"The truth about your accident."
Yan Li looked at him without saying a word.
"The man behind the prime minister is actually not interested in the throne. He doesn't even know the cause of this incident." Yu Wang clutched the teacup, as if it was difficult to speak, "On the night when I learned the truth, I heard that the prime minister was beaten by him and only had one breath left."
Yan Li frowned: "Are you sure?"
Yu Wang nodded: "The letter from Master should not be false."
"If so, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. I will settle the account with him when I return to the South." Yan Li turned his head and looked outside the warm pavilion, "The situation in Jin is complicated. Most of the people in the court are the parties that supported the prince before. I want to secure the position of regent princess. I need a little more Time. There are too many things in their system and laws that need to be reformed, and these cannot be done overnight. "
"Your Majesty, do you plan to stay in Jin for a long time?" King Yu frowned, "Their chaos is their own business, what does it have to do with us? If Your Majesty just wants to do something temporarily-"
"No." Yan Li shook his head slowly, "I did have the idea of developing some power in Jin before, but after coming here, I found that some things are more serious than I thought. I want to do something for the women of Jin and fight for some rights that should belong to them."
The King of Yu drank a sip of tea in silence.
"Do your job in your position." Yan Li smiled faintly, "Since you are the eldest princess, you can't just enjoy power and glory without taking some corresponding responsibilities."
It has never been her style to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
The King of Yu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Your Majesty's thoughts, but there are so many unfair things in the world, can you manage them?"
Now it's just Jin, what about other countries in the world?
From the perspective of the royal family of the Southern Kingdom, King Yu felt that their system was the most reasonable and tolerant in the world, but there were eight other countries in the world.
In Jin, men were superior to women, in Zhao, homosexuality was prevalent, in Jin, ambition was high, and in Yan, poison was raised to harm people. If we had to manage them one by one, how could we manage them?
"One person can't manage it, but we can promote some loyal and capable people." Yan Li's voice was gentle, unlike the sharp and cold voice when he was competing with others in the hall. "With more loyal ministers, and some reasonable rules, wouldn't it be possible to manage it?"
King Yu showed disapproval on his face: "Your Majesty's idea is good, but I still think 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 govern the Southern Kingdom."
"As a disciple of the Southern Kingdom's high priest, this is really not what you should say." Yan Li glanced at him, "Where is your heart of benevolence to the world?"
King Yu was silent: "I am benevolent The people of the South Kingdom are not enough? "
"What if I want the South Kingdom to become the overlord of the world." Yan Li asked back, "Then aren't the people of the nine states all the people of the South Kingdom?"
Yu Wang was surprised: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"For the time being, I have such an idea." Yan Li's voice was calm and cold, "Although this may be an extremely long process."
"The world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and will eventually divide after a long period of unity." Yu Wang took out a folding fan from his waist and fanned it gracefully, "In fact, if you want to be the overlord of the world, you don't have to unify the nine states, because the customs and folkways of each country 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 be from the war god Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom."
Yan Li was silent and sipped his tea in silence.
Mu Cang.
They have been separated for half a year, 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 enfeoff vassal kings and 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 follow the Southern Kingdom, 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's late autumn now. You are really elegant in this white robe and a folding fan, and it's 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."
