The emperor reflected on his mistakes, but because he was the emperor, his reflection would always end up in other places.

This is not only clear to the emperor himself, but even the people around him have more or less guessed a little, not to mention that he is too emperor.

After all, after the abdication, under the premise that the emperor occupied the righteousness, he still steadily pressed on the emperor's head for thirty years.

It was under such circumstances that the national teacher came to the autumn hunting ground.

On the day the national teacher arrived at the autumn hunting ground, the weather was very good, the autumn was crisp, and the emperor even hunted a bear with his accurate archery skills.

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Lanling hurriedly said: "My father's heroism has not diminished back then, especially this archery skill, among all the imperial brothers, only the eldest royal brother has obtained the true inheritance of his father. ”

The Emperor laughed: "Not bad. Among your brothers, only your eldest brother was taught by me, and even the emperor can't compare to this. It's a pity that your eldest brother left too early and didn't even leave a child behind. As he spoke, the Emperor Taishang turned his head and asked the emperor, who had been silent, and said, "Emperor, why don't you give your eldest brother a son, and also ask your eldest brother to have someone to provide him with a bowl of rice." ”

The emperor was stunned, and when he heard the Emperor Taishang call him, he was shocked, came back to his senses, and said, "Father, it is also a blessing for those boys to be able to pass on to the eldest brother." It's just that this prince has not been decided, and it is too early to say this. ”

Emperor Taishang said: "Anyway, I have already told you, which one to choose, you decide for yourself." It's just that your eldest brother is my eldest son. Don't give that kind of unsuccessful inheritance to your big brother. ”

"Yes." The emperor said so, and the emperor could only respond.

No one knew better than the emperor that he had fewer sons. There are even fewer of them. Those two big careful thoughts are constantly thinking, and they are not suitable for their position at all. If one of these two is passed on to Prince Xianduan Hui, I am afraid that the Emperor Taishang will be the first to shake his head. The queen's two sons are indeed not bad in terms of character, but unfortunately, these two children are frail and have no children, and more importantly. The prince has not been decided, how can the emperor pass on his son-in-law?

As for the prince below, it is even smaller. I don't see what is going on.

For the first time, the emperor was worried, and his son seemed to be a little less.

The emperor was distracted again, but the Emperor Taishang didn't seem to feel anything at all, but turned his head and pointed to Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu standing on the side and said to the eldest princess of Lanling: "Old." It's old. After moving for a while, this body began to lose strength. Lanling, you say that my martial arts are extraordinary, but the real martial arts here are not me, but Jiu Yatou, even his cousin's cultivation is not weak. If they end up, I'm afraid that I and your imperial brother will still be able to get a face and get those two prey. The rest of the prey is afraid that it will be wrapped up by the two sisters. ”

Princess Changle clapped her hands and said, "That's exactly what you said." The granddaughter still remembers that she met Jiu Yatou for the first time that year. At that time, the granddaughter was frightened, and her voice shrunk into a ball, and for the sake of her granddaughter, Jiu Yatou specially gave up the light work of hurrying, found a carriage, and personally drove the carriage to escort her granddaughter back to the south. When I was halfway down the road, I encountered wolves. The granddaughter still remembers very clearly, although the wolves were as big as calves and ran like a black lightning bolt, but because the grass on the grassland was very lush and grew very tall, by the time they were discovered, the wolves were already very close. But the nine girls swept over with a sword, and the wolf heads flew up. The granddaughter remembered that at that time, the granddaughter was in a daze, and it was because a wolf's head smashed at her feet, splashing the blood on her granddaughter's head and face, which woke her granddaughter from that chaotic state. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "How can I only remember that you were stunned alive? When I got rid of the wolves, I went back to the car and saw that you were on the ground, and I thought something was wrong with you. ”

When the Emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "It seems that Jiu Yatou was not frightened by the wolves that time, but she was also frightened by Changle." ”

"That's because the imperial grandfather didn't see how terrible it was for the wolves to rush up."

The Emperor said, "I know. I remember that one year, it was also an autumn hunt, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or a trick of the Di people, anyway, there was a once-in-a-century event when tens of thousands of giant wolves attacked the autumn hunting ground. That year, thousands of palace guards died, and in the end, it was the grandfather of the nine girls who led the people to desperately set up a rejection of the horse, and put out a spear array, and it took nearly 2,000 lives to kill the wolves. At that time, I had not yet been crowned, and I was a child, and I was not favored, and there was no one to take care of me, so I almost died in the wolf's mouth. and my two brothers, who also died in that autumn hunt. In his later years, my father once said that if my sixth emperor brother was here, this position would not be my turn. ”

Hearing what the Emperor Taishang said, everyone didn't dare to answer, and even the emperor remained silent because of his distraction.

For a while, the Emperor Taishang was very quiet in front of him.

At such an embarrassing time, the chamberlain came to report that the national teacher had arrived.

The Emperor Taishang called for invitation, and on the other hand, he asked people to take down the bear and concoct it, he wanted to entertain the national teacher, and said: "The bear's paw in this autumn is still worse than the bear's paw in spring." When the bear hibernates, it will unconsciously lick its forepaws, and after a winter of fluid, in the spring, the taste of the bear's paws is particularly delicious. It's a pity that it's autumn now, and that's all it can be. ”

The emperor suddenly said: "Father, the national teacher is a monk, I'm afraid I can't eat meat, right?" ”

Emperor Taishang said: "What do you know? The Taoist Gate is not a Buddhist Gate, there are so many precepts, and it also stipulates that no living beings can be killed. But that's it, there are still wine and meat monks in Buddhism, and the warrior monks in Buddhism can't help but be fishy. Daomen has always paid attention to casualness, but there is no requirement to be vegetarian. It's rare that I hunted a bear, and you don't have much fun here. ”

When the emperor heard this, he had no choice but to stand on the side.

When Ling Fengzi came, it was when the Emperor Taishang reprimanded the emperor, and after the Emperor reprimanded the emperor, he said to Ling Fengzi very kindly: "I haven't seen you for many days, is the national teacher good?" ”

Ling Fengzi replied with a Dono. Said: "Your Majesty Lao cares, and the poor road has always been good." It's Your Majesty, the spirit of Ryoma. No better than ever. ”

The Emperor laughed: "It's easy to say." I was able to reap the rewards of the Dao Sect today, at least half of the credit. If it weren't for Jiu Yatou and Lin Yatou, I'm afraid I'm still nesting in Ningshou Palace at this time. ”

The national teacher smiled and said: "Your Majesty is blessed with all the best, naturally everything is going well." ”

The Emperor said: "This sentence, but the national teacher said it wrong. This time, if it weren't for the timely action of the Daomen, I am afraid that my mausoleum will be smashed. ”

The mausoleum of the Emperor Taishang began to be built when the Emperor Taishang ascended the throne. If it is smashed by the displaced people, it must be relocated and rebuilt. The mausoleum of the Emperor Taishang has been repaired for nearly a jiazi. In the past 60 years, the imperial court has allocated 10% of the total revenue of the state treasury every year to repair the mausoleum of the emperor, and if it is to be re-selected and rebuilt, the amount of money and time required is definitely not a small amount. Not to mention the people who need to be mobilized.

Arguably. Once the mausoleum of the Emperor Taishang is smashed, the people will have to bear additional taxes and labor, which will definitely not be good for the stability of the world.

Even for the sake of the world and the people, Daomen could not let the imperial court choose another site to repair the mausoleum of the emperor.

It's just that, in this case, the national teacher will definitely not say it in front of the emperor, he just smiled humbly. Said: "Your Majesty, Daomen has only done what Daomen should do. ”

Emperor Taishang said: "If everyone in the world is like Daomen." It would be nice to know what to do and what not to do. It's a pity that those mud-legged people don't know, but some people, even though they have the best teachers in the world to guide them, and are assisted by countless courtiers, still make mistakes, and they are very wrong. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was even more embarrassed.

What mistakes the emperor made, of course the national teacher knew. If the Yan master of the Yan family is here, I am afraid that the emperor will have been sprayed from head to foot with elegant words at this time. The national teacher even believed that if Yan Shi sprayed the emperor here, the emperor would not only not be angry, but would also apologize to Yan Shi.

It's a pity that Daomen is not a Confucian sect, and he Ling Fengzi is not the old fox of Yan Yu.

The national teacher just sang a Daonuo again, saying, "Xi Tan is immeasurable. What is Your Majesty referring to? ”

"Naturally, it's for this great drought." Emperor Taishang glared at the emperor very unceremoniously, and said: "If it weren't for him raising the minds of those people and making those people bold enough to attack the official warehouse and military rations, I'm afraid that this drought would not have turned out like this." Right under the nose of the imperial court, the official warehouse and Chang Ping were hollowed out, and the imperial court was almost trapped and killed in Beijing by the exiles! ”

Speaking of this, the Emperor Taishang was in a very bad mood.

The storming of the palace by homeless people is never a good sign. Not to mention anything else, such things did happen in all dynasties, but the palace was attacked by force, and it was all when the dynasty changed. If the royal family was really broken through the palace gate by those homeless people at that time, then Daqi would have become a joke in the history books.

The Emperor Taishang said very simply: "This time, your Daomen has made a great contribution. ”

The national teacher smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Yuqingshan's overall arrangement this time, if it weren't for Yuqingshan's agreement with Confucianism and Buddhism, and Confucianism and Buddhism also involved, I'm afraid things wouldn't go so smoothly." ”

Emperor Taishang smiled: "You say Buddhism and Confucianism? Buddhism is in decline, needless to say, but we all know very well about Confucianism, how can this Confucianism be sincere? ”

The national teacher replied, "Your Majesty is serious. Just as the character of a person who reads and writes is not necessarily good, not everyone who reads and writes is a Confucian person. In fact, only those who have been recognized by Confucianism may be regarded as Confucian scholars and Confucians, while other people, even if they read more books and are not recognized by Confucianism, can only be respectfully called scholars. ”

"So there is still such a saying." In fact, there are some things that the Emperor Taishang has known for a long time, but he still followed the words of the national teacher and said, "Yes, the same rice and hundreds of people." Who can guarantee that those who have read books will be good? Some people, who have read books all their lives, are also mud that can't support the wall; Some people, even if they are illiterate, are still respected. ”

The national teacher still stood like that, as if he hadn't heard the words of the Emperor Taishang, and he didn't seem to understand the meaning behind the Emperor's words.

Seeing this, the Emperor Taishang had no choice but to say: "National Teacher, speaking of which, I really can't stand you." ”

"What did Your Majesty say by that?"

Emperor Taishang replied: "Back then, the nine girls offered the red lotus to the emperor, but unfortunately, the imperial court has not been able to promote it, until now, except for the northern Xinjiang, because of the vast land and sparsely populated people, this is planted a little, or because the red lotus is not like wheat and rice, it needs a lot of manual serving. Even if it is a section of rhizome buried in the soil, it will grow. It's a pity that we have such a high-yield and easy-to-care crop in Daqi, but because it has not been promoted, it has caused people to riot because of hunger. How can I not be ashamed of this? ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he hurriedly came out of the queue, bowed to the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is my misconsideration, which caused the red lotus to not be promoted in time." It's my fault. ”

The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor hurriedly said, "How is this your fault?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Your Majesty, although the yield of red lotus is high, you can't use it to pay taxes, and the people of my Daqi have always paid very high taxes. Crops that cannot be used to pay taxes have always been unpopular in our Daqi, and this is one of them. Second, the high yield of red lotus also led to no one buying red vetch, except for eating it himself, he could only let him stop in the ground in vain. Therefore, even if the people have this idle time, most of them are not willing to serve the red lotus who has no income. It's my lack of thoughtfulness, it's my fault. ”

The Emperor Taishang asked the eldest princess of Lanling to help Jia Jiu up, and said, "How is this your fault?" I've heard that you even made a special purchase of red weed, just to use it for sake brewing. Daomen not only buys red lotus in Gyeonggi, but also buys red lotus in various places. Come to think of it, this is another way you came up with it? Let the people get benefits from it, and they will naturally be happy to finally get rich. The Emperor Taishang paused and said, "You have treated the people very well." ”

"Your Majesty?"

The Emperor said, "I'm not wrong. The method used to make wine is very similar to that of Huiquan wine, and only a few steps can be slightly changed. It's a pity that I'm so big that no one thought of that. Don't those people know how profitable the wine is? I want to make money, but I don't know what I'm missing?! ”

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Lanling hurriedly came over to give the emperor a good breath: "Father, what are you angry with those guys?" Where are those guys worth being angry about? You just have to talk to the nine girls. (To be continued.) )
