Chapter 29 The messenger Mianjun

Sitting here now, Ren Xian feels restless!

If the person here was not the monarch or his eldest grandson, he would have wanted to pull out his sword and chop these two insidious and despicable villains!

However, the sword he carried was still outside the palace gate at the moment. Even if it was there, he wouldn't dare to do it, so he could only sit here, feeling very complicated and his scalp was numb!

When Changsun Sheng went to the tavern, he was also present. At that time, he thought that his brother Sheng told the news to the woman out of good intentions!

He never expected that what he thought was a good intention was actually a little trick that Chang Sun Sheng casually implemented!

Really! He felt so stupid! He had never felt like a child like this before. He was so ignorant!

He has never been in such close contact with the darkness of the world like now!



Yang Song looked at Ren Xian and asked, "Who is this?"

He looked at Ren Xian and felt that he looked familiar, but he didn't remember seeing him there before!

"I would like to introduce to you, this is Ren Xian sent by General Di to escort me. He is the captain of the light cavalry brigade!" Changsun Sheng introduced.

Ren Xian stood up, walked to the passage of the main hall, clasped his fists and bent down to salute: "I have seen your Majesty!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work as captain!" Yang Song nodded and encouraged: "Sit down!"

It turned out to be an officer from the infantry brigade. He said why it looked so familiar. He must have met him in the military camp before!

"I don't have to work hard, this is what I should do!" Ren Xian finished his reply and sat back obediently!"

"I wonder if General Di and Staff Lu are okay now?" Yang Song asked Ren Xian.

Ren Xian clasped his fists and replied: "When I returned to the camp, the general and staff were in good condition!"

Ren Xian doesn't dare to say one more word now. He just answers whatever is asked! His heart is still trembling a little now!

"That's good! That's all, Mr. Changsun!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Song said: "That's it for today. There will be a meeting tomorrow. Please tell me again then!"

As soon as Changsun Sheng returned to Tianqi City, he was called to the political hall by Yang Song, and then they talked for a long time. It was almost dark outside!

He also knew that tomorrow would not be as relaxed as today, and some people would raise questions, especially Chen Ping, who was in charge of intelligence!

"Yes, I am resigning!"

After Chang Sun Sheng said that, he took Ren Xian out and left!

The two people exited the government hall and came to the street.

Ren Xian only said a few words throughout the whole process, so he asked Chang Sun Sheng at this time.

"Brother Sheng, the general asked me to show my presence. Is it enough for me to show my face in front of the monarch like this?"

Changsun Sheng replied: "Today's goal has been achieved. You just have to show your face to me again tomorrow. Remember! You don't need to say anything!"

"Okay, I understand!" Ren Xian said obediently. He still believed in the other party. At least his general and staff believed in the other party!

Changsun Sheng directly ordered: "Today, you can go back to the military camp to rest! I'm going back too!"

He is avoiding suspicion!

As the director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Chang Sun Sheng was the chief envoy of this mission, and he was also a civil servant directly subordinate to the monarch.

And Ren Xian is a military attache and an officer in the only army in the country with strong combat effectiveness!

Therefore, Chang Sun Sheng had to avoid suspicion. Even if the two of them had a good personal relationship, they could not expose it to the public!

Even if the monarch doesn't say anything about a civil and military relationship, others won't think so!

Ren Xian just lacks some political acumen. Fortunately, he is not a talkative person and knows what to say and what not to say!

A night without words!

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the meeting hall was already full of people, and those who were supposed to come had already arrived!

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here!" Wang Wei, the captain of the Guards, who was standing next to the main seat in front of the Council Hall shouted loudly!

All the officials stood up and waited quietly!

Yang Song walked quickly in his attire, walked out from behind the wall of the Yizheng Hall, walked to the main seat and stood still!

"I will see you, Your Majesty!"

All the officials present raised their hands and bowed in salute!

While the officials were saluting, Yang Song also raised his arms, put the four fingers of his hands together, and raised his thumbs to the sky. He put his hands together at chest level in front of him and saluted!

The other officials saluted in the same manner as him, but the difference was that he did not bend down, but stood straight!

After the ceremony, Yang Song sat down first, and then the other officials straightened up and took their seats!

Since the founding of the country and the title of king, the rules on etiquette have become more stringent.

Just like this formal meeting, monarchs and officials must wear official uniforms, and the etiquette is based on ancient etiquette.

Because the kneeling ceremony has been abolished and equality of personality is advocated, the monarch must also return the favor! This is what Yang Song ordered!

Of course, this is only a rule in formal occasions. For example, when Chang Sun Sheng came back for an audience yesterday, there were not so many requirements and it was more casual!

Although many officials objected to the monarch returning the gift, they had no choice but to comply with Yang Song's persuasion and orders!

According to Yang Song's words to persuade these officials: people are born equal, but due to many reasons such as status, environment, conditions, abilities, intelligence, force, etc., everyone can never be equal in the end, so there is no equality between people.

The most basic mutual respect and mutual understanding are still needed!

What Yang Song really wants is that he wants this country and the nation to change some bad situations from top to bottom! Some red tape should be simplified, and if it should be discarded, it should be discarded.

persist in!

He doesn't want everyone to turn into kowtowing bugs as soon as he walks on the street, nor does he want to become street tigers. He also doesn't want to see some officials being lawless and harming the people just because they have some power!

Although he knows that with the current scale of Xia Kingdom and his strong supervision, these people cannot do this - it will definitely be different in the future!

Therefore, he wants to form this pattern into a law, inertia, and habit as soon as possible - whether it is the common people or officials!

Even so, corrupt officials will definitely still be unavoidable in the future, but at least there will be much fewer, so that the people will have a much easier time in the future!

Coupled with national education and strong propaganda, after the emergence of certain officials who harmed the people, the people also knew what to do - this is why he wanted to turn Xia Kingdom into a rule of law rather than a rule of men!

Some people would say that the rule of law represents the monarch's loss of power! But he said that in fact, this is what he really wants. Even if it turns into a constitutional monarchy in the end, he said it doesn't matter! - This is too far.

Got it!

Therefore, he will take advantage of the fact that it is still a blank, there is nothing to recover from, and he still has absolute authority to make some adjustments!

He doesn’t want the so-called prosperous times that he will praise in the future to be those of the upper class. What he wants is a prosperous age for all the people!…

"Everyone!" After the ceremony and taking seats, Yang Song was the first to speak.
Chapter completed!
