18. The eighteenth chapter carefully considered the succession of King Su and found another way for the new emperor to tour the south
The inheritance of the throne is a major event of the dynasty, and the old sage naturally cannot do it casually. He had five adult sons at this time, and he was bound to choose one of them. Pulling and pulling, the old sage didn't have a decision in his heart, but couldn't help but think of the abolished prince Prince Yizhong.
The child's biological mother died early, and he was brought up by himself, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he was crowned the crown prince and carefully cultivated the way to govern the country. originally thought that the father and son would be filial piety, and the dynasty and the throne would be passed on, and the father and son would become a good story. It's a pity......
The old saint was crooked on the bed, and he was sad for a while. Good father and son, how did you end up fighting each other, and you are dead or alive? Ever since Yizhong went, he had been thinking about this question, in fact, he had already had the answer, but he never wanted to face it. It's just that now he is about to die, and there is nothing he can't let go.
Shi also, life also, a qiē is just a "right" word, his son grows up to be in power, but he has not yet let go of power, the contradiction is so simple, but it is so deadly.
After a brief period of sadness, the old sage soon reverted to becoming an emperor of the dynasty. Yizhong has already gone, and it is useless to think about him again, as for the remaining ......
The eldest is his first son, who has gone on several expeditions with the army and made great achievements, but he has been imprisoned and disgusted by him because of the abolition of the prince; The third child is weak in literature, so it's okay for him to compile and revise books, but it's still worse to control the overall situation of the imperial court; The fourth child is a calm person, and he is very disciplined, and everything given to him can be perfect, but he is too strict; The eighth is the most exquisite, and has the best reputation among the clan and courtiers, but the means are too exquisite; Lao Jiu has never been in his consideration, that is, ridiculous, and he is worthy of him when he lives as an idle prince.
Thinking about the current situation, the old sage finally fixed his goals on the old Sisu Wang Yuwenhu and the old Bacheng Wang Yuwenqi. But in the end, he still chose the fourth Yu Wenhu. There is no other reason, now the situation in the south is urgent, and what is needed is an iron-fisted emperor. If the fourth child is ruthless, even if he is a foreigner, he will not be merciful in dealing with it.
And Lao Ba has always been tactful, if he is unusually tough, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary backlash, which is not a good thing. Moreover, when the prince was re-established, nearly eighty percent of the courtiers asked for the establishment of the eighth prince, which made him always have a thorn buried in his heart.
The old sage is a resolute and resolute person, since he knows that his body is hopeless, and he has already made a decision in his heart, even if he writes down the holy decree of the Zen position, he will be located in the fourth son of the emperor Su Wang Yu Wenhu at the beginning of the next month. As soon as this decree was issued, even if the courtiers and nobles were mentally prepared, the entire court still exploded.
However, with the strong support of the old sage, he suppressed the opposition of Qiē, whether overt or covert, and Yuwen Hushun ascended the throne and began to deal with the rebellion in the south. It's just that...... The old sage who became the emperor did not expect that not only did he die of illness and death, but his health was getting better day by day.
"What, what did you just say? You want to tour south? Master Pardon stared at a pair of peach blossom eyes and asked rhetorically at the top of his voice. There is no such thing in his "dream", Huhuda has been nested in the Forbidden City since he ascended the throne, and he has never left the capital for a single step. What's the matter at this time, the ass hasn't sat firmly on the throne, why is this going to the south?!
Moreover, although the rebellion of the displaced people in the south has been suppressed for the time being, it is still not calm. After all, a flood and a plague have affected hundreds of thousands of people, and countless people have been separated from their wives and homeless. At this time, when I went to the south, not to mention the loss of labor and money, I am afraid that I could not even guarantee safety. Thinking of this, the eldest lord looked at the new emperor with a look of "your brain is broken".
Yu Wenhu also glared at him, this thing was becoming more and more unruly in front of him. In front of the Emperor Taishang, why don't you see him shouting so much? And what kind of eyes is this, it's light to treat him with a big disrespect. That's it, for the sake of the monthly income in his shop, I will spare his life.
"You also know that since I ascended the throne, my father's body has improved. Although he is still sick, he is able to get out of bed and walk around. He has worked hard all his life, and once his health improves, how can he still be idle. When Yu Wenhu spoke, his expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but he could see that he was not too happy.
The eldest lord could understand his mood and silently patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. What if you become the emperor, with a emperor on your head, it is like pressing a mountain. Besides, the emperor's body has improved, and all the folds that Huhu has instructed must be taken over for him to look at again, and those who are not satisfied will be called back. This emperor was fooled...... What's the point!
"Yes, since there is my father in the court, I want to take a look at the south. There is no need to make a big deal about this trip, and along the way, you should be able to check the situation of the officials, check the situation of the disaster area, whether the disaster relief money and grain are being used, and repair the embankments along the river. Anyway," he glanced at the eldest master with deep meaning, "it's better than sitting on that dragon chair." ”
These political things, the eldest master has not been able to figure out these things for several lifetimes. However, listening to what Yu Wenhu said, he was not so opposed to the southern tour. In fact, Emperor Qianyuan in the "dream" did not tour the south, but the first few years of his ascension to the throne were indeed not easy. It wasn't until after the palace concubine was provincial, that the situation seemed to get better, and the power of the court was gradually retracted.
In fact, what Jia Yu didn't know was that Emperor Qianyuan in his "dream" also had the idea of touring the south, but because the treasury and private treasury were short of silver, and he couldn't reach out to ask the emperor's father, he had to dispel the idea. The purpose of going south this time is to show favor and win the hearts of the people, and if you don't have any money in your hand, it is empty talk, you can't do anything, and it is really a waste of money to go to the people.
Now it is different, thanks to the contribution of the eldest master, Yu Wenhu has a small amount of savings in his hands, so the start-up capital for the southern tour is available. In the south, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are indispensable, and when the time comes, they will raid their homes one by one, and when they return to Beijing, they may be able to have some surplus.
"What about safety? You know, the south is not very peaceful, and there are not a few people in Beijing who have ideas. You're fine in the palace, but once you leave the palace and leave Beijing, who knows what will happen. "Don't go back then, the old man's thighs are not hugged in vain. The eldest man did not hide his worry on his face, and looked at Yu Wenhu with small eyes.
Needless to say, the wanderers and refugees in the south are not good for the time being, and the brothers of Huhu alone are not kind. After more than ten years of fighting, they were finally taken the lead by Huhu, can they be willing? This seized the opportunity for the emperor to leave Beijing, why don't you hurry up and kill the killer and make him a short-lived ghost emperor?
Being stared at like this, the new emperor's heart was still relatively close, and his expression couldn't help but soften a lot, and said: "Don't worry about safety, after being a prince for so many years, if you want to say that there is no one under me who can be used, I'm afraid no one will believe it." It's just that they can't think of it......"
Yu Wenhu's words were not finished, and the eldest man was hung up, and he could only scold in his heart for pretending to be mysterious. He knew that Yu Wenhu had finally secured the throne, so he didn't worry too much about it, so he took the matter of the southern tour away and started to make up the next idea.
"Can you take me with you on the Southern Tour? I've grown up so old that I haven't been out of Gyeonggi yet. I know how to make the embankment stronger, I know how to build a house simple and strong, and I have a lot of ideas to give you ideas. Take me with you! "Master Pardon has been paying attention to the south for more than half a year, but he has never set foot in it, and he regrets it in his heart, and now that he has the opportunity, he will definitely go and see it with his own eyes.
Although he had planned to take him there, looking at the little eyes that begged to be carried and followed, His Majesty the Emperor took Qiao up very arrogantly. It wasn't until the whole person of the pardon lord came up that Yu Wenhu reluctantly agreed with a sad face, and set up a bunch of rules and regulations for the eldest master, and he took care of it.
The next morning, Yu Wenhu threw out the plan of the southern tour of the river workers in the disaster area, and after a moment of silence, the courtiers began to express their opinions and argue endlessly, some in favor and some against, most of them were in favor of it, and opposed it for the sake of opposition. Yu Wenhu knew that this would happen, and he was not in a hurry to get angry, and when he looked at the time, he announced his retirement from the dynasty, and then waited for the announcement of the emperor's father.
Sure enough, after a pillar of incense, Dai Quan appeared in front of him and invited him to speak in Daming Palace. Yu Wenhu had already prepared to speak, but it took half an hour to get the approval of the Emperor. Even, the Emperor Taishang agreed with his son's southern tour, and declared that there was an old man in the capital to town, so that he could go with confidence.
When the day was in Zen, the old sage was really delegating power, but it was also a menacing illness, and it would not work if he didn't give up power. But after the meditation position, this body got better again, and gradually had the energy to care about political affairs. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but doubt his condition. This illness came and went so quickly and inexplicably, didn't he get caught up with his sons?
With such suspicions, the primary object of suspicion is the old Siyu Wenhu, who inherited the throne. It's just that the Zen throne is his own decision, and it's not good to go back on his word and ask for the throne back, so he can only secretly investigate and wait for the results. Now that the fourth child is leaving Beijing and going south, he is following his wishes, and when the fourth child comes back, he should have found out.
When the time comes, whether the throne will be returned to the fourth child to sit on depends on whether he has done anything that should not be done.
Since then, the matter of the new emperor's southern tour has been decided. Even if Yu Wenhu repeatedly ordered to travel lightly, by the time he could set off, it would already be mid-October. After this trip, I'm afraid I will have to spend the year outside.
And the eldest lord Jia pardoned, as the new waiter of the Ministry of Works, was able to accompany the southern tour.
Because of the meritorious contribution to the cement, Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion and Jia Yu of Rongguo Mansion were rewarded. Jia Jing had originally given the title to his son, and now he was awarded a first-class viscount, but he couldn't pass it on. The greater benefit was counted on the head of the pardoning master, not only was the title promoted to a first-class earl, but also got a real job as a squire in the Ministry of Works. At this time, the original Ministry of Industry Shangshu and Shilang have been beheaded because of the tofu slag embankment, and the entire Ministry of Industry has become a hall of words.
The eldest lord was promoted to a knighthood, and the Rongguo Mansion was naturally honored, but although Jia's mother and the second husband and wife were all smiling, this was ......
