Chapter 154: Two Edicts
In the study, Yu Guoshi did not talk to Ziyu about business, but first talked to him about the geographical location and political situation of Weiguo.
Ziyu doesn't hide it, and intuitively says what she knows and thinks thoroughly. And most of the views made Yu Guoshi nod his head in praise.
After chatting so freely for more than an hour, Yu Guoshi took a map from the bookcase and spread it out on the table.
Ziyu looked down and knew at a glance that the map was the territory of the Wei Kingdom.
Yu Guoshi turned to his side, pointed to the mouth of a river and said: "This is the mouth of the gorge, and outside the mouth of the gorge is a big river, and if there is a heavy rain in the rainy season, there will be a huge torrent." The extent of this flood is uncontrollable and unpredictable, and if it erupts, it will inundate the fertile fields and villages behind the gorge. However, at present, the national treasury is empty, and even if the crux of the problem is known, it is impossible to repair the ditch to divert water in a short time. If... If you are the ruler of this unkingdom, what should you do?"
Ziyu was stunned, although this Yu Guoshi kept saying that it was a metaphor, he fully asked him to deal with this matter with the eyes of a monarch. Therefore, this answer is related to whether he will be willing to help himself.
After pondering for a while, Ziyu pointed to the lower part of the gorge and replied, "If it were me, I would build a dam in this place." The terrain here is narrow, and there will not be a lot of silver taels and manpower needed to build. ”
Yu Guoshi smiled playfully and said, "If you do this, you will divert the flood water and immediately save it to a low-lying place." Great Prince, do you know that there is a small village in that place, with a total population of more than 200 people. ”
Ziyu still replied calmly: "I naturally know that this kind of practice is to abandon this village. ”
"Wouldn't this be a matter of carelessness!" said Yu Guoshi angrily.
Ziyu said again: "The so-called monarch is clothed in brocade and food. All the food is for the people, and it should be returned to the people. But after all, I am a mortal, not an immortal, and I can't try to save and protect every person. At this time, we can only focus on the big picture and do what we can. Although the diversion of the flood water will drown the 200 people in the village, it can also save tens of millions of people downstream, which is the so-called sacrifice and gain. ”
Yu Guoshi didn't answer, and Ziyu didn't speak anymore.
The study was eerily quiet, and time seemed to stand still.
There are bandit gentlemen who stand humbly and humbly, gentle as jade.
"Okay!" Yu Guoshi suddenly snapped up, "If you don't even have these killing decisions, you can't be the monarch of this country!"
"So, if Ziyu needs the help of the national teacher another day, can you give her a helping hand?" Ziyu immediately asked.
Yu Guoshi smiled faintly and said: "You are a smart person, so you naturally understand that the current guarantee is nothing! If you are ready for everything, and the east wind is braking, how can I have any reason not to help you? If you are already a trapped beast, why should I be in danger? No matter who is the monarch of this unfounded country, it is no different to me. ”
Ziyu put her finger on the map, circled the territory of the country, and said in a deep voice: "There is no difference between the teacher of the country, but if it weren't for me, I am afraid that in less than ten years, the territory of the country would not be so big." Of course, I don't need you to do anything on purpose. At that time, as long as the national teacher can ensure that he waits for the opportunity to move, it will be enough to give me some opportunities for trust!"
"Okay!" Yu Guoshi shouted, "I will promise you to trust and wait for you! I am very curious, how can you reverse this situation after more than ten years of inaction!"
Ziyu smiled, put it in her chest, and rolled up her sleeves to say goodbye.
After saying goodbye to Yu Cheng, he got into the carriage with Ziyu, and asked very nervously, "How is it, is he willing to help us?"
"Half. Ziyu replied.
"Half, what does that mean?"
Ziyu looked at her and said, "Yu Guoshi promised me and gave me a chance, not to mention judging my way of life." ”
"That's enough, why don't we start with Yu Cheng and let him talk to the national teacher more?"
"Enough. Worry, not everyone can do the same to me as you do. Ziyu looked at her quietly.
Li was stunned, and then said with a smile: "You are my brother, I naturally want to help you." ”
Ziyu lovingly pulled her broken hair together and said, "Today's prince Lu is also your younger brother. ”
Li Wei lowered his head and just muttered softly, "You know, that's different." ”
Ziyu didn't say anything more, smiled lightly, still warm as jade.
After nearly a year of preparation, there are already brave literati behind him, but these people are all for some interests. Only she, Princess Chaoyang, doesn't care about anything, she just treats him wholeheartedly, even if she is born and dies.
What exactly is she for?
Ziyu remembered what Mo Yi said about her previous life, could it be that these natural ties were just these natural ties?
Ziyu closed his eyes slightly, not wanting to deny some special things he thought was in his heart, because that was all his courage to live.
It's better to be vague about your feelings for yourself.
The white horse passed through the gap, and in the blink of an eye, it was winter.
The weather is cold, everything is withering, and before the New Year's Day, Ruidi is sick.
Both Ziyu and the crown prince knew that their father had reached the point where the medicine stone was gone. The battle for the throne was almost imminent.
In the twenty-seventh year of Weirui, November 13, the guard in front of the palace of Ruidi was still as usual, unusually tight.
Ziyu put a fake edict in her hand, thought about it and lit a candle again, and burned it clean.
After doing this, he summoned Ah Chang.
"Are all my father's guards tonight all the Prince's men? I want to go into the palace to see him. ”
Ah Chang knelt down in fear: "The eldest prince, the person who is close to him is the prince's eyeliner." If you are caught in such a crisis, you will be unable to argue!"
"Is there no way or is that method dangerous?" Ziyu ignored and still asked.
"This..."Ah Chang's face was embarrassed, "Most of the doctors who go to serve in front of me every day are their own people. ”
"Then I disguised myself. Ziyu said calmly.
"Please think twice, the eldest prince!" Ah Chang had a bitter face, almost crying.
Ziyu ignored it, brushed her sleeves and walked out, her voice deep: "I'll go tonight, you arrange it for me, I don't have the patience to wait a little longer." ”
Ah Chang understood his temper, so he had to start preparing, praying that everything would be foolproof.
At night, Ziyu changed into a doctor's clothes and came to the front of the hall with a medicine box.
Ah Chang specially arranged for many fresh-faced doctors to go to see Rui Di before Ziyu today, hoping to relax the attention of the guards.
It was inconvenient for him to show up, so he could only hide in the shadows from afar.
Ziyu occupied the land in the doorway, her head slightly bowed.
He changed his face and makeup, almost as if it were real. Unless someone was suspicious of him in the first place, no one would find out.
Ziyu showed the pass pass to the guard, and was about to step into the room when an arm suddenly blocked in front of him.
I saw one of the guards say coldly: "The prince has an order, the visiting physician needs to be strictly investigated, please ask the physician to report the name and the medical hall to which he belongs." ”
A hoarse voice replied: "Zeng Hurong, I belong to the heart of the square." ”
Ziyu had a full hour of betel nut in her mouth when she came, so she numbed her vocal cords, and her voice didn't sound like him at all.
"Look up. ”
Ziyu complied.
The guard Xu knew that there was a way to disguise, so he reached out to touch the bone line on Ziyu's face.
Ziyu was shocked, and immediately avoided it, and said, "Doctors often touch patients, and I am afraid that your hands will be dirty, so it is better not to touch them." ”
The guard became suspicious, and immediately said in a straight voice: "You obviously have a ghost in your heart and dare not let me see it! Hurry up and obediently do it, or I will kill you now! You are just a doctor, and you are not guilty of any serious crime!"
Ah Chang broke out in a cold sweat on the side, and just when he didn't know what to do, he only heard the voice of Ruidi in the hall: "Why hasn't Doctor Zeng come in, and some people who don't have long eyes are going to stop you? Don't be afraid, I'm not dead now, and it's nothing to kill a few guards." ”
When the guards heard Ruidi's voice, they immediately knelt down in fright, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, only shouting that they were wrong!
Ziyu took the opportunity to enter the palace gate, and no one dared to stop him.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the hall, and he walked around the screen and moved closer to the bed.
I saw Rui Di half lying on the bed, looking sideways at him and smiling: "Xu is really at the end, and now his hearing has suddenly improved, I'm afraid it's a sign of returning to the light!"
Ziyu didn't speak, and there was still half a doubt in his heart.
"Son, sit down some!" said Rydi.
Ziyu was stunned: "You... Do you know who I am?"
"The voice is different, the face is different, but the footsteps are still the same. ”
Ziyu lowered her eyes slightly: "I thought that you hadn't paid attention to me since I was a child." ”
Rui Di smiled bitterly: "In this emperor's house, attention is not necessarily a good thing. I was wrong for more than a decade, and you hid your edges for more than a decade, didn't you?"
Ziyu raised her head again, and looked at Rui Di with a sharp look in her eyes: "So today, I'm afraid that the child is going to get back what should belong to me." ”
Rui Di's brows jumped obviously, but he immediately regained his composure: "If you dare to say that now, you must have calculated and arranged everything. Why, then, did you take the risk of coming to me and telling me this?"
Ziyu looked at Emperor Rui and said lightly: "I originally prepared a fake edict, but I burned it today. The reason why I did this is to ask my father, have you ever cared about me in your heart, and have you ever thought about my future path?"
"Ahem!!" Rhetti coughed violently, but without replying, his hand groped under the pillow, as if to pull something out.
Ziyu looked at it coldly and stood quietly in place.
After a long time, Emperor Rui took out two copies of sealed paper and motioned for Ziyu to come and look at them.
Ziyu picked up the seal paper and looked at it carefully, the first one was an edict announcing Luquan as the next monarch of the country.
He felt a chill in his heart, a sneer on his lips, and everything was as he expected.
Ziyu continued to flip through the second book, but was stunned.
This second envelope is also an autographed edict written by Emperor Rui, but it is clearly written that the throne of the monarch will be passed to the eldest prince - Ziyu.
Two edicts, two wills.
Ziyu was unknown, and raised his eyes to look at Ruidi.
I saw that the old man with gray hair and a peaceful expression was thinking about something, and his eyes had no desire or desire, which was a little calmer than Ziyudu.
