Chapter 1169: Dance to the End of Prosperity
In order to help King Yong control Liuchen County, the efforts he spent on his life were incalculable. In the end, he was ignored like this. Some people felt sorry for Wu Yi. Wu Yi laughed and seemed to be unaware.
In fact, King Yong's neglect of Wu Yi and even hiding him was the best result for the two of them. His achievements were so great that he threatened the king, which was a crime that would lead to death. A small spark would cause a huge change.
For Wu Yi, the more he did now, the harder it would be to get rewarded. Instead, it would be a way to get into trouble. The more he did, the more mistakes he made. It would be better to slow down.
Although Wu Yi was ignored and hidden by King Yong, Wu Yi took advantage of the situation to seize Wu Yi's power to handle internal affairs under his self-deprecation, leaving only the title of Shangwen, responsible for helping King Yong recruit talents, similar to the position of the Ministry of Rites.
The position of Shangwen has not been verified in ancient books. The size of the power is entirely up to King Yong's interpretation. It is a bit like Shangshu. Shangshu was the prime minister in the previous dynasty, but it is just a title in this dynasty. It is respected but has no real power.
Shangshu was originally a position for managing documents and was the emperor's personal secretary. The meaning was obvious, a promotion in name but a demotion in reality.
However, after many years of managing the internal and external affairs, Prince Yong seized Wu Yi's apparent power, but the actual power was still difficult to shake. After all, Wu Yi was the one who made incremental distributions. In the process of distribution, he gained a lot of support, which was rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Prince Yong couldn't wait to prepare for foreign wars in order to carry out a new round of expansion and to adjust and distribute interests again.
At this time, the inner demon body came. A round of linkage between the human body and the inner demon body was about to take place.
Let's say that on this day, Wu Yi's human body saw the documents delivered to the gate of the government by several scholars. Because the human body received a nominal title of Shangwen, although those who worked in the government knew that Wu Yi was neglected, for scholars without any achievements, how could they know this? They really thought that Wu Yi was responsible for recruiting talents for Prince Yong.
Among these works, there are poems and songs, as well as policy papers discussing current affairs, with exquisite and complex decorations. Some boxes are inlaid with gold and jade. Compared with their works, it is not that Wu Yi looks down on them, but he really has the suspicion of buying a box and returning the pearl.
They submitted these works to Wu Yi, because they were submitted to Wu Yi for his review. In the articles, there are words praising Wu Yi, either a few words or a long and eloquent one, praising Wu Yi in poems.
However, there are a very small number of people who take a different approach. Not only do they not praise Wu Yi, but they also point out the problems of Wu Yi's approach, such as making the people suffer and the treasury deficit, which are basically some untrue words. Trying to find a worthy article among them is like digging gold out of manure.
Finally, Wu Yi made a few comments and selected half of the articles praising and criticizing him, and handed them to King Yong for review. How King Yong would choose was not something Wu Yi could decide.
Anyway, these contents were submitted to the emperor, at least to let the king know that the people under his rule did not have a completely one-sided view of Wu Yi, and there were also critical opinions, which was enough.
After dealing with these works, Ren Shen closed his eyes in the study to rest, and even when there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, he did not open his eyes, because there was no need to open his eyes, Wu Yi knew that the person coming was Chen Jiaying, Ren Shen's current legal wife and only wife.
When Chen Jiaying was married to Ren Shen in the past, she was only 28 years old, green and lovely. Now eight years have passed, and time has almost stagnated on her, without any change.
"Your Excellency is working hard for the country, which is a great blessing for the country, but you should also take care of your body. Drink a bowl of lotus seed soup first, and then review it!" Chen Jiaying put a bowl of lotus seed soup on Wu Yi's desk and whispered softly.
Chen Jiaying asked about things related to her natal family from time to time, and she would not even ask about other things outside, but the king of Yong deliberately ignored Wu Yi, and he also noticed it.
Wu Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Just like an ordinary couple, he smiled and said, "You changed your clothes again today!"
"Yes, it was made by the He family shop in Dongcheng. What do you think?" Women dress up to please themselves. It is the most pleasing for the person they love to discover their beauty. Chen Jiaying turned around a few times on the spot, not minding Wu Yi's burning gaze.
Wearing a emerald green emerald shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist, and a thin emerald veil, as Chen Jiaying turned, she was like a butterfly, flying and dancing between heaven and earth.
Chen Jiaying's appearance is also excellent. Her shoulders are cut into waists, her muscles are like condensed fat, her breath is like orchids, and she is charming and boneless.
Wu Yi watched and applauded. Seeing Wu Yi applauding, Chen Jiaying really danced in front of Wu Yi.
Turning around, raising her hands, and only her head and feet were visible, all of which reflected the beauty of lightness. She stroked her black hair, which danced in the wind, giving off a fresh fragrance. She had a slender waist and long limbs, and had a fairy-like temperament.
Looking up, I saw her bright eyes again. I saw her graceful body swaying with the dance music, and the ribbon on her chest also danced and flew.
Wu Yi clapped his hands and sang for her. It was clear and magnificent, and extremely beautiful. Time almost became eternal. There was no outsider in the world. I don’t know how many women would envy this scene.
So what if I have no children? As long as I can be happy, it doesn’t matter if I have no children! Why bother about what the world thinks.
This is the most real thought in Chen Jiaying’s heart at this moment. The most sedimented burden in her heart was taken off by her, showing a perfect posture, light steps, graceful as a startled swan, and graceful as a swimming dragon.
Turning back and taking steps, she is like a willow swaying and a flower smiling, her dancing wind caresses her, her sleeves flutter like clouds emerging from a mountain, and suddenly, she taps her feet a few times, stretches her arms and sleeves, smiles, and then dances quickly with her body raised, her waist as graceful as a willow.
…
This dance seemed to have lasted for years. Wu Yi admired it and clapped his hands along with the dance. Chen Jiaying danced just like that, dancing for only one person. The two of them forgot about the miscellaneous tasks outside.
Finally, the servants who were not seen came to inform the official that it was time for lunch and invited him to eat, which ended the dance that made people want to continue.
Chen Jiaying was a mortal after all. Wu Yi was immersed in the long dance and did not notice that she was sweating profusely. Her already delicate body suddenly stopped and fell to the ground powerlessly.
"Be careful!" Wu Yi was quick-witted and even subconsciously used his magic power to catch the fallen Chen Jiaying. The two looked at each other and could even feel each other's breathing. They were surprised at first and then laughed.
"You are weak, let me take you a ride!" Wu Yi stretched out his arms and hugged Chen Jiaying like a princess.
"Ah! Let me down quickly, it would be bad if the servants saw me!"
"We are an old couple, there is nothing to worry about."
"No!"
"I won't let you go!"
