    He Yuanshen sighed again, feeling that his talent was not being appreciated. Gao Shen saw it and made a gesture:

    "I have long heard that Zuo Shiyi is a young and handsome man. He is very good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, but I have never been able to make friends with him. Today is a rare opportunity, and I would like to ask Zuo Shiyi for advice!"

    He Yuanshen had no contact with Gao Shen. At this time, Leng might as well listen to his invitation, but when he was being ignored in the court, he couldn't help but stay for a while.

    "This" He hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid Master Gao won't be able to spare any time."

    Gao Shen then smiled and said:

    "To be honest with what Zuo Shiyi said, although I served as Minister of War, since the late emperor passed away"

    He shook his head, with a look of disappointment on his face: "There are many important ministers and confidants around the emperor. After today's morning court, I heard that his right servant Yao Shi was retained to come down to discuss matters. How can an idle person like me not be free?  Come?"

    Gao Shen's words aroused He Yuanshen's sympathy, and also reminded him that since he became an official, he has given many advices, but few have been reused. After his cousin Gu Yujin was killed that day, he felt that the rules and regulations of the imperial court were inappropriate and he was single-minded.  He wanted to do something big, but in the end he was not welcomed by the emperor. At this time, he sighed high, which just made him feel that the two of them were in the same boat, so he stood up:

    "In this case, I am bold enough to invite you."

    The two of them left the Tailu Courtyard and left the palace all the way.

    In the Xuanhui Hall, Yan Zhui was holding a tea cup in one hand and looking through the memorials with one hand. Yao Shi was given a seat, and there were several memorials in front of him, which were all sent by Yan Zhui's servants earlier.

    The few excerpts he picked out for Yao Shi were made by some officials in the court who objected to his proposal to order Hanlin scholars to compile the "Chronicles of the Clan". Each of them lamented in the excerpts that Taizu had ordered the compilation of the "Chronicles of the Clan".  In order to dispel Yan Zhui's thoughts.

    Yao Shi frowned and went to look at the booklet. Yan Zhui held the tea in both hands but did not drink it.

    There was also a fold in front of him, which was presented by Zhang Jinshui, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Among the courtiers who presented the fold this time, he had the most important status.

    This person was a Jinshi during the Yongchang period. He once wrote good articles, which impressed Duan Yansu, the Minister of Civil Affairs at that time, and recommended him to the late emperor. He was reused during the reign of Emperor Jia'an.

    Zhang Jinshui was born in Yongzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was from a scholarly family. Since he became an official, he has a cautious temperament, likes to recite poems and have fun, and is very free and easy.

    During the reign of Emperor Jia'an, the Rong family was rampant, and it was not seen that he colluded with Rong Tuying and was bribed and exploited by him. The literati had a very hard character.

    I just didn¡¯t expect that such a person would stand up for the Xie family.

    "There are many people like Zhang Jinshui in the imperial court. They are not tempted by wealth, silk and beauty, but are willing to work for the Xie family. This shows the harm to the family.

    Yao Shi was still flipping through the book when Cheng Ji, an attendant outside the palace, bent over and came in. He raised his head and glanced at Huang Yixing. Huang Yixing bowed and silently stepped back. After a while, he came in, leaned against Yan Zhui's ear, and greeted Gao Shen and congratulated him.  I talked about Yuan Shen¡¯s contacts.

    Huang Yixing was used to observing words and expressions. Even though Yan Zhui had never mentioned Gao Shen, when he went to court, he glanced in the direction of Gao Shen and was noticed by Huang Yixing. He remembered it in his heart and turned back.  Chao then told Cheng Ji to keep an eye on him more.

    Not long after I gave the order, I got the news as expected.

    Huang Yixing's delicate thoughts were precisely the reason why he had served Emperor Jia'an for many years and won the emperor's heart.

    He acted appropriately and was good at understanding people's hearts. After hearing his reply, Yan Zhui couldn't help but bow his head and smile silently, and put down the cup.

    When the tea cup fell on the table, it made a soft 'click' sound. Yao released the fold, wondering what Yan Zhui was thinking.

    After taking office, Yan Zhui's thoughts became much deeper. Sometimes even Yao Shi might not be able to fully guess what he was thinking.

    He thought of the queen in Qingning Palace. Today, the emperor, who is becoming more and more brooding, might relax his guard a little in front of Fu Minghua, who has been in love with him since they were young.

    "There are people from the Imperial Censor's Terrace, the Six Ministries, and the Three Provinces in the imperial court, asking me to think twice before acting."

    Yan Zhui stood up, moved Yu Zhen away from Zhang Jinshui's fold, and held it in his hand:

    "This is Zhang Jinshui's secret."

    After he finished speaking, he threw it back on the table. Huang Yixing picked it up and handed it to Yao Shi.

    Yao Shi glanced twice and saw Yan Zhui¡¯s expression again. He and his ministers had been together for many years, and he also knew Yan Zhui¡¯s temperament. Seeing his behavior, he couldn¡¯t help but ask:

    "Is the emperor planning to disturb the family?"

    ? ?This is the benefit of being together all year round.

    Yan Zhui doesn¡¯t have to beat around the bush about many things. He wants to influence the four surnames, and Yao Shi knows it.

    The influence of the aristocratic family is too great, and one family cannot tolerate two masters. In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial power should be higher than that of the aristocratic family, but now the aristocratic family is like a thorn, making Yan Zhui feel like a stick in his throat.

    He raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Yao Shi frowned:

    "Disaster."

    Especially the target that Yan Zhui wants to attack is the Xie family of Jiangzhou, which makes it even more difficult.

    In the minds of the people of Jiangzhou, although they feared the emperor, they respected the Xie family. Yao Shi also visited Jiangzhou in his early years and saw the influence of the Xie family in the local area.

    After hearing what he said, Yan Zhui showed slight smile lines at the corners of his mouth:

    "When the late emperor came to visit, he still kept in mind that he once said that to eliminate the four surnames, it would be easy first and then difficult."

    Emperor Jia'an advocated getting rid of the Cui family first, proceeding from easy to difficult, and finally attacking the Xie family.

    Yao Shi nodded. Emperor Jia'an's idea was the safest and not easily broken.

    But Yan Zhui did the opposite, with a look of pride in his eyes:

    "But I prefer to do the hard things first and then the easy ones. Yao Shi, do you know why?"

    When Yao Shi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but Yan Zhui had already walked around the table and walked slowly down the terrace. Huang Yixing followed him step by step.

    "The Queen once told me that a noble family is like a tree."

    When he mentioned Fu Minghua, his expression became softer, and his eyes showed a happy look. His whole person was no longer as sharp as before, which gave people a great sense of oppression. His eyelashes and eyebrows showed love, which made Yao Shi  I couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved:

    "I would like to hear the details."

    "If the wealthy families such as the Rong family back then were compared to new seedlings, the four surnames would be like established trees."

    Yan Zhui¡¯s statement was a bit new. Yao Shi¡¯s expression changed as he continued:

    "And the Xie family is the towering tree with extremely wide roots, forming a shade, protecting the new seedlings underneath, shielding it from wind and rain, but also blocking all the sun."

    There was something in his words. Yao Shi thought about it carefully, but he felt that this metaphor was wonderful.

    The Xie family is a big tree in Yan Zhui's mouth. The name Xie family has made countless people flock to it, and it has given many scholars the admiration and admiration of them. They have also benefited from these scholars and have been driven by them.

    "The Queen told me an old story." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
