The atmosphere in the study room south of the Forbidden City is very strange. Yuan Guogong held a cup of tea, stood up, his face was calm, his eyes drooped slightly, and he watched the Tianzi's Panlong ink satin Dengyun boots pacing around on the red line carpet of Begonia Lianrui. His Majesty the Emperor, who was still straight and full of vigor in middle age, pointed to a dragon, a dragon carved from a radish and showed off to Yuan Guogong: "Look, my Jing'an hand is getting more and more skillful." I heard that it was Uncle Fukuyama who taught her personally. I am very happy! Hahahaha! ”

It is probably because His Majesty is too powerful and domineering, and the radish carved dragon, which has been carefully maintained by the palace craftsmen to survive until now, is under the noses of the two of them, broken-broken.

The emperor's smiling face immediately stiffened.

Yuan Guogong silently lowered his head and drank tea, pretending not to see it.

Sure enough, His Majesty glanced back at him, and saw the sleeves of the crimson wide robe raised, and Yuan Guogong covered his face and tasted tea. He immediately neatly put the broken radish into his sleeve, as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem, Yuan Qing," the emperor touched his chin: "How about this tea?" ”

Yuan Guogong pursed his lips and smiled: "Shishan Longjing is the best in tea, and the jade dew in the cup." One cup of throat moistening, two cups of breaking loneliness,"

"However, Lone is bored right now." The emperor looked up at the sky with a deep melancholy expression. If he is a person who does not know the truth, I am afraid that he will think that he is thinking about something related to the strict sù of the people in the world.

However, this can't fool Yuan Muyun anymore. He calmly ignored the bitter and hateful face of His Majesty, and personally poured a cup of tea and served it: "Why don't you have a cup too?" ”

The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he finally asked unwillingly, "Yuan Qing, why are you bored?" ”

"The embankment in that area of Koto."

The emperor suddenly lowered his face: "It's a good thing to take precautions." Even if you don't need it this year, you will use it in the future. I don't understand what those people are messing around! and not to spend their money! ”

Just pretend. Yuan Guogong said with a smile: "Actually, there is a reason for Shen Ge's concerns. He came from a poor background and was familiar with the people's feelings, so it must be reasonable to speak out against it. ”

"You're good-tempered. He refutes you, and you speak for him. ”

Yuan Guogong smiled magnanimously: "This is a good thing. When does Majesty do something, everyone says it's good, then it's a bad dish. ”

"Dong Chang, what's going on this time? This guy is speaking with sincerity that people can't understand. ”

"This kind of good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Dong Ge Lao has never been very opposed." Yuan Guogong said with a smile: "Each phase of the project will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Every time the imperial court allocated the project money, disaster relief money, and even comprador opportunities, many people are staring at it. Shen Ge is always upright, but he also thinks that the greedy people deliberately did it, and they wanted to intercept His Majesty's silver. Moreover, the disaster rises and disappears, which can only highlight His Majesty's benevolence and love for the people. ”

Cut! Isn't that greedy man talking about you, I really don't know how you can bear it, Your Majesty looked up to the sky and rolled his eyes.

"Actually, the point is that there hasn't been a flood yet, so everyone's enthusiasm is not high."

The emperor scratched his head very uprightly: "To be honest, my enthusiasm is not high. ”

"--Understandable."

The emperor turned his head sharply, saw the familiar two-point smile again, and took a long breath: "Sensei smiled, you are about to shine." ”

"Your Majesty knows Bian Que."

"Of course you do, the doctor."

"In fact, he has three brothers, and he is the worst of the three in Chinese medicine, but he is famous in history, but no one knows about his two brothers."

"Huh? Why is that? ”

"Bian Que once said that his eldest brother's treatment was before the onset of the disease, and ordinary people did not know his methods, so his fame could not be spread; The middle brother's treatment of illness is to treat the disease at the beginning of the disease, and most people think that he can only treat minor diseases, so his fame is only as good as that of the township; And when he was curing a serious illness, most people saw him show his skills, so they thought that his medical skills were excellent, and his fame was resounding all over the country. ”

"-- Poor elder brother." The emperor had a deep melancholy on his face. Yuan Guogong was silent. The emperor turned to him gloomily: "You want me to be the eldest brother." ”

This melancholy face really makes people cramp, and Yuan Guogong silently hides his sleeves.

"Actually, it's not like that, if it really happens, they will know how wise and powerful I am." The emperor began to convince himself of it.

Yuan Guogong put down his sleeves and took out the calculation plan to show the emperor: "Although it is worth spending some money now, you see, this is the tax income of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in previous years. If the two canals are connected, regardless of the irrigation along the way, the transportation speed can be increased by 40%. And that's what was spent on disaster relief in previous years. If you don't repair this project, in case of unfortunate flooding, your loss this year will be about the same as the cost of repairing the project, and this project will actually be earned back within three years. ”

"Sure enough, I still want to be the eldest brother." The emperor's eyebrows twitched: "What about Lao Shen?" In fact, since Yuan Muyun got rid of Dong Chang, who was always angry with him earlier, the emperor was very relieved of his lobbying skills. However, Lao Shen is a good person, he talks about things in the court and studies in the next court, and Dumen is a guest, so he doesn't give people a chance to lobby at all. The dog bites the hedgehog and can't get out of his mouth!

"Don't worry." Yuan Muyun accepted this matter very freely: "As far as I know, the four sons of Shen Ge Lao have not been successful in studying, but the three grandsons are smart and diligent, and they are all ready to end. ”

"So what?"

"Lin Ruoxu, the rumored gold saint, is the Mr. Lin who teaches who to enter the department, and now he lives in my house and is teaching my daughter to read."

Emperor:――

"Let's be honest, how long have you been plotting about repairing water conservancy?"

"Uh-there really is no conspiracy. The minister simply felt that the money had to be used, and it was wasted, no different from Scrooge. ”

At least the emperor found this reason credible. So he decisively let go of the problem.

"Time flies. At the beginning, Jing'an was like a lamb, but now it is all over time. She liked you very much, and she pulled your sleeve, remember? ”

"Of course I remember, it was the first time in my life that someone pulled his sleeve and wiped his saliva."

"Ahem, it's normal, I don't know how many times my dragon robe has been wet." His Majesty's embarrassment was only for a moment, and then he fell into a warm mode of memory: "At the beginning, she and Xuan were combed by the Duchess of Fuguo herself, and your lady knotted her hair. Hey, that's just a blink of an eye. Jing'an has changed from a little child to a big girl like a flower, the look between her eyebrows, and the laughter are the same as the original queen. ”

Yuan Guogong seemed to understand the emperor's meaning, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "It's a pity that the minister has no son to be the master." ”

The emperor turned his head in amazement, but looked at Yuan Guogong for a good time, and finally sighed regretfully: "It's a pity." Or you can still be the Lord. Pity. ”

The corners of Yuan Guogong's eyes immediately twitched, fortunately.

"Are you rejoicing?" The Emperor immediately raised his eyebrows.

"The minister is terrified." Yuan Guogong immediately lowered his eyebrows.

Although it is the duty of his subordinates to share the emperor's worries, Yuan Muyun does not want to participate in the emperor's family affairs at all-although he has an older sister who is a concubine, this affairs cannot be completely separated from no matter what. The most important thing is that he is strong enough to promise one thing to the emperor, and if he does not help now, he is likely to be judged as "unrighteous". If that's the case, then it's a big deal!

It is said that the emperor's daughter does not worry about marrying, but who to marry is a science. Marrying a foreigner is called harmony, marrying a subordinate is called winning people's hearts, and marrying a king can also be called a beauty. Especially Princess Jing'an. Everyone can see how favored she is, but everyone can see how shabby her mother is. The key is that as a Jing'an control, once the princess is wronged, Her Majesty can't bear it at all! So the problem arose -- no one in Jing'an dared to marry.

Although His Majesty has always been thick-skinned, he really can't do such a thing as a forced marriage with a holy decree. What's more, what he wants is for Jing An to marry happily.

Emperors who can't coax their courtiers are not good emperors, so he decisively decided to amplify his moves!

As a result, there was a scene in the south study that absolutely shocked the hundred officials, and the current emperor His Majesty put on a strange smile, noble and obscene, arrogant and cute, like a strange Shu Huang who abducted children with a rock sugar gourd: "Ziyu" Yuan Guogong trembled - this time he was really frightened.

"This year's new tribute to Biluochun, picked up on the Biluo Peak of Taihu Lake, now there is only this box left, I remember that you love this since we were studying in the same class, and it has not changed for so many years. Now it's all for you. ”

The smile on the corner of Yuan Guogong's lips was a little subtle: When I don't know, I will deal with the harem first and then give me the rest as a treasure, I am not rare. "Your Majesty, although the courtiers are attached to this thing, how can they win the king's love? I'm very ethical. The emperor's heart was filled with guilt when he was tossed by that little laugh, and he felt that he was not authentic, so he immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the palace people to come over with something.

But there is a white jade gold tendon box on the bright red lacquer pill plate, which reveals a dark blue shadow. "The spring breeze is full of fragrant spiritual teeth, and the tongue of the two-stemmed fine-leaved finch rolls. Sichuan Wanyuan, Ba tea. The shape is beautiful and colorful, and it can bubble out of the tongue and beads! The best sparrow tongue is extremely rare, and I was originally going to use it to honor the queen mother. But if I'm not mistaken, this is the favorite of the Nation's Decree, right? ”

Yuan Guogong smiled and hugged it: "Your Majesty is disrespectful." ”

Emperor: -- What about the good ones?

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Yuan Guogong sighed incomprehensibly: "Princess Jing'an is beautiful and beautiful, delicate and pure, and she really deserves a good husband and son-in-law." ”

In fact, the confidence in these words is very weak, there are many young and innocent girls, how can there be so many good marriages? Think about Shi Xiangyun in "Red Mansion", and then think about Yun Niang in "Six Tales of Floating Life". Fate? Luck also? But the emperor didn't seem to understand, and nodded vigorously in agreement.

"However, just for this matter, the Queen Mother wants to admonish, Concubine Li wants to cry, and the Queen dares to close the palace door and not see me! Why do I marry a girl, and other women are like crazy? Even Concubine Yuan ignored me, didn't I just scold Xiaosi. Which Lao Tzu doesn't scold his son? ”

Yuan Guogong looked at the Ninety-Five Supreme with sympathy: The woman's splint has been angry for so many years, I only get used to it. Yuan Guogong thought about his wife and daughter, and suddenly felt so happy.

"Let's not say what I mean! The Queen Mother and Concubine Li themselves were not in agreement. The emperor looked angry, how long are these women going to make trouble: "I admit that I prefer Jing'an a little." Because he was afraid that she would be restrained in the palace, he let her open the mansion alone at the age of twelve. So Concubine Li always made a fire and pulled the princess to make trouble together! Even the third princess made it seem as if she had really been wronged! But the second princess didn't open the mansion, she had to wait honestly until the time, she was also born to the queen. I didn't see how much the queen and her opinions? ”

Yuan Guogong silently listened to the emperor's complaints.

"And the Queen Mother! Didn't I just make the house for Jing'an a little bigger? But it's not over the system, isn't that half a foot away from the regulations? Now I want to add a dowry, and I will take out the matter of building a mansion and talk about it! ”

"The queen is really ignorant! When a man gets married, a woman gets married, and at the age of fifteen she starts to say goodbye, it's already very late, okay! As soon as I said that she would get married, she would cry, and I would cry as soon as I said it, and I didn't plan to marry Jing'an to the edge of the world, but I just changed places to live! What is there to cry about! ”

"Jing'an is really, what's wrong with the Fuguo Mansion! The fourth child of the Xu family is also a talent, a dragon and a phoenix among people. She's still messing around with her mother! ”

The smile on the corner of Yuan Guogong's mouth was a little stiff, and as soon as he heard the Fuguo Mansion, he knew that the problem was big.
