Shu Yin just ascended the throne, and on the second day, he personally went to the prison to welcome Gong Peiyin out, and gave him the mansion where he lived before.Pei Yin has been crowned as a spy of Qi State since he came to Yue State, and the ministers disagreed when they saw that Shu Yin treated him like a mentor.A civil official who compiled history books in the court wrote a memorial to Shu Yin on this matter.After watching it, Shu Yin was furious, "Relying on his status as a veteran of the three dynasties, he has many constraints. I think this is the end of the veterans of the three dynasties!" After finishing speaking, he threw down the memorial and asked someone to quickly draft the imperial edict. That's all.

When Zhen Sibo heard about this, he was terrified, although he had nothing against Shu Yin, both his daughter Zhen Shi and Zhen Shi's son Shu Rong had offended Shu Yin.Since Shu Yin was established as the crown prince, Zhen Sibo has been extremely careful in his words and deeds, and when Shu Yin succeeds to the throne, everything will be welcome.Seeing that the veterans of the three dynasties were easily deposed, and there were rumors in the court recently that Shu was tempted to make Gong Peiyin the prime minister, Zhen Sibo was unavoidably frightened, depressed and ate less every day.

A diner under Zhen Sibo's family met him and said to him, "Since the king took the throne, he has treated Gong Peiyin with courtesy and often discussed state affairs with him, but he is extremely indifferent to you, the prime minister." Zhen Sibo said displeased, " It's up to you to talk about it." The guest said, "I just want to remind the prime minister not to just be unhappy and not take action." Zhen Sibo sighed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't love treasures or beauty, I really don't think so." I have no idea how to please him." The guest said, "Since you can't please him, why not find another way." Hearing that he seemed to have a plan, Zhen Sibo hurriedly asked, "Please tell me clearly, sir." The guest said, "Has the prime minister forgotten the identity of Gong Peiyin? Zhen Sibo said, "Your Majesty doesn't doubt him." The diner said, "Of course you don't doubt him in a few words. If someone close to you hears it every day, even if your Majesty firmly believes it, you will be prepared." How to act said with Zhen Sibo.

It is said that there is an eunuch next to Shu Yin named Ma Si, who served Shu Hui before.Shu Yin became the king of Yue, and seeing that he was considerate in everything, he kept him by his side to comb his hair and wear a crown.Ma Si had a clever mouth, and he had served the Former Lord, after serving Shu Yin for a few days, he understood his temperament, and while he was combing his hair, he said what he liked to hear.Shu Yin liked him very much, and would tease him to talk in his spare time, and sometimes deliberately made things difficult for him with trivial matters, but Ma Si could deal with it very well.

Although Shu Yin has Su Fa close to him, but after all, Su Fa grew up in the mountains and has very short knowledge, and he often chats with him about his inner troubles, and he just listens to it.Now that Shu has introduced Ma Si to be clever and clever, and can explain why things happen, he is more willing to talk to him, and occasionally ask him what he means.

After Zhen Sibo found out, he sent someone to tell Ma Si, "If you can do this for the prime minister, then the prime minister will protect your old parents in the countryside, and your brothers and sisters will be well-clothed and well-fed from now on, and you will no longer have to plow and hoe the fields." He paid him thousands of gold.Ma Si readily agreed.

One day when combing Shu Yin's hair, Ma Si pretended not to ask, "I didn't see Mr. Gong coming to see you in the palace yesterday." Unprepared, Shu Yin replied casually, "Yesterday, Mr. has something to do and asked me for leave." Ma Si asked. Si asked again, "Can he come today?" Shu led, "He should come." He glanced at him from the bronze mirror and said with a smile, "Why did the little eunuch care about Mr. Gong today?" Ma Si He hurriedly said, "Mr. Gong shared the worries for the king, so that the king has time to talk nonsense with the servant." Shu Yin laughed again, and said, "What a nonsense. This king happens to have something to tell you at this meeting. Gossip, gossip, just mess with me." Then he turned his head, put his arms on the case, leaned on his side and asked, "This king wants Mr. Gong to be the prime minister, you What do you think?" Ma Si didn't expect that when Shu Yin asked exactly what he was thinking, his expression changed immediately, but he quickly restrained himself, and said, "Your Majesty has made a decision, how can this slave Dare to talk nonsense." Shu Yin waved his hands, and said impatiently, "I just want to hear your nonsense." This remark hit Ma Si's heart, so he said what Zhen Sibo taught him, "Mr. He used to be the king's teacher, and it would be great to have him assist the king. It's just... I heard that Mr. Gong is from the country of Qi..." Speaking of this, he sneaked a glance at Shu Yin, and saw that his expression didn't change much, and he was fiddling with the case with lowered eyes Ma Si boldly said, "If a person from the Qi country is appointed as the prime minister of Yue, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will be dissatisfied, not to mention the high power of the prime minister. The country is disadvantaged, and this servant feels that the king needs to think twice about this matter." After speaking, he saluted again.But when Shu Yin didn't speak for a while, Ma Si panicked, fell down on his knees, and begged, "Your servant is talking nonsense, please forgive me! Please forgive me!" After finishing speaking, he bumped his head on the ground.Shu Yin was still leaning on the table, looked at Ma Si and said, "It's just nonsense, how can this king take it seriously, get up, don't kowtow." Ma Si just breathed a sigh of relief before raising his head, but Shu Yin snorted coldly, "Don't damage my land." Ma Si's half-lifted head froze immediately, and saw the carved porcelain vase rolled to his lap.Shu cited above his head and said, "Drink your reward."

Gong Peiyin went to the palace after eating.The eunuch who passed the edict led him to the front of the hall, but Shu Yin was busy writing and did not see him.Gong Peiyin lifted up his robe, knelt down, kowtowed, "See you, Your Majesty." Shu Yin hurriedly said, "Sir, you don't need to be polite soon." After saying that, he got down from the seat with a pen, and supported Peiyin's arm to lift him up.Seeing that there was no one waiting around Shu Yin, Pei Yin said, "Why don't you see the horse shop?" Shu Yin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Huh? What did you say today, you two are thinking about each other." Pei Yin heard this for a reason , I stopped asking, and just said, "I don't know why the king hastily called Peiyin into the palace?" , "This king has drafted several new laws to rectify the court guidelines, sir, please advise." Gong Peiyin saw that there were indeed densely packed small characters written on the paper, so he leaned forward to read it.Shu Yin was afraid that he would not read carefully, so he stuffed the paper into Gong Peiyin's hand.After reading it, Gong Peiyin put the paper back on the case.Shu Yin hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Seeing that his face was full of anticipation, Pei Yin said, "Your Majesty's new laws hit the nail on the head, and it couldn't be better." Shu Yin immediately said, "Sir, do you really think so? Pei Yin nodded.Shu Yin couldn't help being overjoyed, threw his pen on the case, and said, "The king will promulgate a new law when he comes to court tomorrow." Pei Yin shook his head and said, "Although this law is good, your majesty should not act too hastily. " Shu Yin frowned and asked, "Since it is the law that hits the nail on the head, it should be implemented in time." Pei Yin said, "The implementation of the new law needs to be implemented from top to bottom. The hereditary assessment of officials, the princes and princes are not allowed to support the army... all of them are detrimental to the interests of the royal family and nobles. If the king promulgates this at the same time without warning, the officials will definitely oppose it. Even if the king is oppressed by the status of a monarch , reluctantly implement it, I am afraid no one will follow it. At this time, the losers of all parties will collude with each other, which is not good for the king." Hearing this, Shu Yin put away his happy face and said, "The laws and regulations in the country have been used for a hundred years. It is already outdated, and the implementation of the new law is a top priority. However, what you just said just now must not be ignored. If you have a countermeasure in your mind, please speak up." Gong Peiyin cupped his hands and said, "The old law must be changed, but it must be changed in accordance with the times. The new law Most of them are unfavorable to the princes and princes, but there are very few useful talents among the princes and princes. These people can be entrusted with high positions by virtue of their status. There are many people who are dissatisfied in the court. , and wait for him to agree with the king, and then promulgate some new laws to weaken the power of the nobles. If this can be done, the rest of the matter will be under the control of the king."

Shu Yin was silent for a while, then said, "Although that's the case, it's just that none of the ministers is the king's confidant." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Pei Yin, "Before Mr. came, I was thinking about something. Do you know what it is?" Pei Yin shook his head.Shu led the way, "This king wants to make Mr. Zuo Prime Minister and Zhen Sibo the Right Prime Minister. Zhen Sibo is a veteran of the three dynasties, and there are many party members in the court. If he is dismissed rashly, he may cause criticism. So this king came up with this plan and named him The two of you are prime ministers. At that time, sir can help me implement the new law together. When Zhen Sibo's power is reduced, he can retire and return to his hometown." Seeing that Pei Yin was silent, Shu Yin asked, "I don't know what sir thinks?" Pei Yin then said, "Zhen Sibo is originally from the other side, where is the king going to teach him to go back? What's more, his daughter, Mrs. Kang Ping, is still in the palace. It stands to reason that the king should worship his wife as the queen mother."

After Shu Yin heard this, he sneered, "What qualifications does that wicked woman have to be the queen mother!" Then she squinted at Pei Yin and said, "I don't want to be the prime minister anymore after listening to what you say?" Gong Peiyin hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize, He said, "Your Majesty rescued Pei Yin in a cage, and treated him with courtesy everywhere. If he can relieve His Majesty's worries, Pei Yin will do his best. It's just that Pei Yin can't do the job of Prime Minister at this moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Shu Yin said coldly, "Why can't you do it? Mister, why don't you just tell me." Pei Yin said, "If your majesty appoints me as Prime Minister, it means that I will fight against Zhen Sibo. To protect his own power, Zhen Sibo will definitely form a party. Yingpeng, fight against me. But now that the king has treated me like this, many ministers have regarded me as a thorn in the side, but seeing that I am still in common clothes, I can hold back not to make trouble. If I become this prime minister, I am afraid It's hard to make an inch of progress in the court." Shu Yin laughed and said, "What else is there to do? Don't be afraid, Mr. You have my king to support you in everything." Pei Yin said, "I'm not worried about myself, but for your majesty. The prime minister doesn't want to worry about it. Sharing the state affairs for the monarch, only caring about gathering forces, each fighting among themselves, the court is divided into two, the monarch and his ministers cannot be of one mind, and they plan their own affairs. The ministers are not like the ministers, and the monarch is not like the monarch. At that time, don’t talk about implementing new laws, I’m afraid of the whole country There will be no peace." Shu Yin was stunned, and quickly asked, "According to what you said, when will you be willing to be the prime minister of this king?" Pei Yin said, "Your Majesty also said that Zhen Sibo is a veteran of the three dynasties. It's already high, so it doesn't matter if he takes the imperial salary for a few more years. And the king's kindness to the veterans can also win the hearts of the people, which is also very beneficial to the implementation of the new law." Shu Yin nodded and said, "It's just that you have no official position. It is also inconvenient for the king to call you into the palace every day." Pei Yin said, "Since your majesty still does not change the title and calls Pei Yin Mr., then give me the position of Taifu." Shu Yin agreed.

After that, Shu Yin followed what Gong Peiyin said, and postponed the implementation of the new law.Notices were posted all over the country to seek talents.All virtuous people, regardless of the lintel, are promoted exceptionally.

By the second year, Shu Yin was able to handle everything in an orderly manner.

Because Su Fa grew up by the stream, he loves to go boating and play in the water.In order to please him, Shu Yin ordered people to build more pools in the palace.

That night, Shu introduced that the moonlight was just right, so he invited Su Fa to take a night tour of the newly built courtyard.The two walked to a covered bridge, Shu Yin pointed to the water in the pool, and said, "This is the water in your hometown." Su Fa saw that the pool was not big, and no ditches had been dug around, so he thought that Shu Yin was teasing himself, and pushed He said, "This is obviously stagnant water." Shu Yin said with a smile, "When did this king lie to you? This water was transported from the Luo River." Su Fa couldn't help but look at him in shock, "The Luo River is far away from it How many roads are there?" Shu led, "It takes a hundred people to drive thirty to drive for a month." Su Fa was overjoyed to hear that, and hurriedly went down to the embankment, bent over to scoop up water to drink.After just one sip, he realized that Shu Yin hadn't lied, so he smiled and looked back at Shu Yin on the bridge, squatted down again, flicked his hands back and forth in the water, and splashed the water on his face.When Su Fa saw the water of the Luo River, he was especially kind, and when the moon was full, he was extremely homesick. He knew that Shu Yin had come to him, but he didn't look up at him, and said to the water, "I used to love you when I was young Put your hand into the stream, the water in the Luo River was warm and soft under the sun at that time, not as cold as it is now." Standing beside him, Shu Yin saw a full moon in the sky and a full moon in the water , are all the size of a cloak, but the full moon in the sky will not move with the wind, but the moon in the water is full of swaying postures.As soon as the moon moved, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered a Mid-Autumn Festival night in the country, it was so quiet, and the people around him were also so sentimental.The cool night breeze brushed his robe, his bare skin, and his hair, blowing his mind with a thousand thoughts.

Seeing that Shu Yin was staring at the water in a daze, Su Fa got up and kicked the pebbles on the embankment into the pool with his toes, and the moon in the water was smashed into pieces.Shu Yin turned to look at him, Su Fa's face was covered with an extremely hazy light by the moonlight.Shu Yin narrowed his eyes, as if he couldn't see clearly, and seemed to see someone else, he lifted Su Fa's chin and bowed his head to kiss him.At this moment, the shattered moon quietly returned to its returning appearance, sinking in the water.
