Chapter 6: Traveling in the Night (II)

He Xiaoer didn't know how to speak, but he was a little embarrassed to speak as he listened to the prince's official voice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At that time, the prince didn't have too many playmates, and when he saw anyone close to him, he would stay by his side for two days to play, and he saw a lot of powerful children, and the little beggar was the first time he saw him.

The guards around him saw that the prince was interested in the little beggar, and immediately took He Xiaoer, who was full of oil, to the clean room to clean up.

PRINCE: What's your name?

Primary 2: ...... (He Xiaoer)

Prince: No name?

Primary 2: ...... (He Xiaoer)

Prince: Then let's do it, I'll get you one, recently Taifu taught me a sentence, 'The big one is Siyuan, and the capable one is Ren Ju', in the future you will be called Siyuan, as for the surname, Fang is the national surname, you are just a little beggar, otherwise you and my mother have the same surname, the surname is Wen, how about it?

He Xiaoer shook his head.

Prince: What's wrong, don't like it?

He Xiaoer shook his head.

Prince: You...... Forget it, you're just a poor little beggar.

The prince put down his raised hand, watched He Xiaoer squat down and pick up a small stone, and wrote a crooked 'He' on the ground.

Prince: Yo, you can still write, but this character is so ugly, what is it? 'Ho'? What's your last name? From then on, you will be called He Siyuan.

He Xiaoer, who had just changed his name, knelt down and bowed deeply to the prince, at this time He Xiaoer didn't know that standing in front of him was the prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the future emperor.

Three months later, on the prince's fifteenth birthday, there was no big event, but the family got together for a light meal, and by the end of the day, it had been dark for a long time.

Prince Fang Yu, a few years ago, bought a mansion outside the palace, and often went out of the palace to live in his spare time, especially in the past three months.

Fang Fangyu hurriedly returned home, his usual steady pace seemed a little messy, three months ago he picked up a wonderful person on the street, his clothes were in tatters, and his body exuded a foul smell, but he didn't expect that a little beggar who lived by begging on the street was literate, and two months later, after he really regarded him as a little beggar, he actually spoke, a mouthful of official voice, the voice was a little hoarse when he was a teenager, and it was not very difficult to hear.

Fang Yu: Siyuan, what about the birthday gift?

Siyuan: Childe is back? Why are you in such a hurry, Cui'er, go get water.

Fang Yu: If I walk slowly, I'll be past my birthday, how can there be any reason to be polite?

Siyuan: No matter how slow the son goes, this ceremony will not run with long legs, sit down first, and I'll fetch something for you.

……

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that He Siyuan can't take on such an important position, he has just entered the court, how can he serve as the secretary of the household department, and ask the emperor to take back his fate."

During the 30 years of Yongqing, the monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty died, and the crown prince Fang Yu succeeded to the throne and changed his name to Tai'an.

He Siyuan stood in the court, looking at Fang Yu who was sitting on the dragon chair in a yellow robe, he used to think that he was just a rich kid, but he never expected that the person who had been with him for so many years turned out to be the new emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Fang Yu: Siyuan, go and get famous, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to get the top prize.

Cui'er: Childe, go and get famous, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to help the young master in the future.

Now, He Siyuan is standing here, his heart is very complicated.

"The old prime minister doesn't seem to believe in my eyesight, since the old prime minister's eyesight is not as good as before, let's say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown." Fang Yu looked angry, He Siyuan was raised by him, whether he had this ability or not is not something that their group of old horsemen can say.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the minister cannot take on such a big responsibility, and asks the emperor to take back his order."

"You ......"

"I implore the emperor to take back his order."

Seeing a cadre of ministers kneeling under him, Fang Yu waved his sleeves angrily and left.

Inside the Imperial Garden

"Siyuan, why did you reject me?"

"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me that you were the Emperor."

"If I tell you that I am the emperor, can you still treat me as usual?"

"Now that I know, I'm going to treat you as usual?"

"You, you're going around the bend with me again."

"Your Majesty, you are not young anymore, why are you still like a child, now that you have ascended the throne as the emperor, you should take into account the overall situation, how can you do whatever you want."

"I'm not as smart as you, and besides, this emperor is not what I want to be, if I hadn't been born early, this throne would have been ...... long ago Hmm"

"The emperor must not say such rebellious words in the future, if others listen to it, it will not be a good thing."

"That Siyuan, it's okay for you to stay with me all the time."

"Yes, I'm always with you."

After watching He Siyuan walk away, Fang Yu patted his head, damn it, he was bent again, he hadn't answered his question yet.

……

He Siyuan spent two years helping Fang Yu gain a firm foothold, and his official position was also promoted all the way, and Zuo Xiang, who was standing beside him, was angry several times and entered the palace to invite a royal doctor.

"Right Minister, what do you think about this matter?" The voice of the emperor came from the top of his head, He Siyuan hurriedly retracted his thoughts, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should allocate funds for disaster relief, send people to the upper reaches of the Surabaya River as soon as possible to repair the embankment, and then bring water into the Hu River to solve the problem." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this plan cannot be implemented, and thousands of people will be mobilized just to divert water, which is really a waste of human and financial resources, and I hope the emperor will think twice." Right Xiang took a step forward and said words to refute He Siyuan.

"There is a lot of water in the upper reaches of the Surabaya River all year round, and the imperial court has to allocate a huge amount of money to repair the river embankment every time, if the money and manpower had been used for the water diversion earlier, so many innocent people would not have died."

"The right minister is really old and confused, from now on, the right minister will return to his hometown." Fang Yu sat on the dragon chair, his eyes were slightly open, every time there was a big flood in the upper reaches of the Surabaya River, it was a headache for every monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once the Surabaya River was flooded, the imperial court had to allocate a lot of money to support, but every time there were still a lot of refugees who came to the imperial capital, all of them were yellow and thin, and Fang Yu knew all the reasons here.

"Your Majesty, you must not."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"The Emperor's ......"

"Shut up, are you all reversed? Or do you want to be with the right side? ”

Seeing that the ministers who were still holding grievances for the right side just now closed their mouths one by one at this moment, Fang Yu sneered, this group of 'capable people' left by his father and emperor is not enough.

"Right Minister, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has lived for the Eastern Jin Dynasty for half his life, and I ask the emperor to think twice."

"Think twice, I've already thought about it, don't talk nonsense, that's it, retreat."

The face of the right phase suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and his angry body trembled.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say." He Siyuan, who was standing next to the right minister, didn't speak, watching this farce.

"Aiqing has something else to say." Fang Yu thought that he was also going to intercede for Youxiang, and his tone was not as happy as usual.

"The minister implores the emperor to send the minister to the Surabaya River to supervise."

Fang Yu was stunned by He Siyuan's words, swallowed his saliva and said, "You really want to go?" ”

"Yes, please decree the emperor."

"If I ......"

"Please give the emperor's order."

"Okay, well, retreat."

The civil and military officials in the court could see that the emperor was angry, and the source of his anger was the Zuo Xiang who was standing there at the moment.

He Siyuan didn't follow Fang Yu's temper this time, he remembered that his home was in a small mountain village in the upper reaches of the Surabaya River, and he remembered the agreement he made with his eldest brother when he left home when he was a child, and he would never give in to this petition.

Simply packed his luggage and brought the silver taels for disaster relief, He Siyuan set foot on the land of his hometown again, thanks to the fact that Surabaya was not very close to the homeland where he was born and raised, and it was not affected.

He Siyuan returned to the small mountain village and saw his parents, whose hair had turned gray, his brother, and Wang Xiaoya.

Xiao: Brother, you still married Wang Xiaoya.

Big: I can't help it, who let her keep pestering me.

He Adada was holding a small bean in his arms, with a smile on his face, a little embarrassed.

Little: Brother, I'm really sorry all these years, I haven't come back, I haven't honored my father, this time, will you go to the imperial capital with me?

Big: Little Er, you have grown up and have a future, and your parents and eldest brother are very happy, but we are used to being here, so we won't go out to trouble you.

He Siyuan no longer persuaded him, he knew that he was born to be born, old, sick and die in his own land.

After supervising the work in the Surabaya River for less than half a year, He Siyuan was sent back to the palace by a holy decree, and what was waiting for him was many unknown roads and Fang Yu, who had been relying on him.

……

"In the forty-eighth year of Tai'an, Emperor Taijing died, Emperor Taijing's left and right hand He Siyuan disappeared, and no one saw him again."

"Legend has it that Emperor Taijing is as good as Longyang, and he is unusually good to Zuo Xiang."

"Emperor Taijing created many great construction projects in his life, and according to legend, many of them were done for him by Zuo Xiang."

"I wonder if the younger generation is wrong? Left-eyed-sama. ”

"These are just some things outside the body, the emperor is just some children's hearts, he doesn't want to be trapped in that high wall for a lifetime, but he has been trapped for a lifetime, as for the goodness of Longyang, it's just a rumor in the world, the emperor has loved Concubine De for a lifetime, but he is afraid that he loves Concubine De too much, so she loses her life, so she has to spend all his time discussing the affairs of the court with me, so there are these nonsense."

The tea in the teacup was already cold, the oil lamp was about to run out, and the sky was about to brighten, and the two of them had been talking for so long that they had forgotten the time.

"Is Lord Zuo a loner now?"

"Yes, when people are old, they will often think about the past, and when they think about it, they will feel very lonely."

"The sentence that I said one by one is very right, the world is big, where can it not be home, when you and the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty together developed the Eastern Jin Dynasty so prosperously, you want me to say, this Eastern Jin Dynasty, at least half of it is yours, so half of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is your home." Zong Jiming drew a circle with his fingers, drew a line in the middle, pointed to half of it and said to He Siyuan.

"Hahahaha, good boy, you are as interesting as the woman who fell asleep inside, if you ask me in the future, the old man will be duty-bound, yo, the sky is dawning, the old man will also go back to 'home' to sleep, there will be a period later."

"Eh, Lord Zuo Xiang, you don't know what my name is, where I live, where I came from will be in the future, hey, hey, don't go so fast." Zong Jiming ran to the cabin, looked at He Siyuan, who had already made a splash, and looked depressed, worthy of being the prime minister for so many years and still alive, he was simply an old fox.

……

"Xiao Er, you really have been by my side as you said back then, and now I want to go one step ahead of you, this time, you don't have to accompany me."

In his ears was the last sentence that Emperor Taijing said to him, but the water reflected the scene when they gave Fang Yu's birthday gift for the first time in the mansion outside the palace, it was just an ink painting, but he had always treasured it by his side, and it was worth it for so many years.
