25. The emperor is the sky

The Seventh Prince had no choice but to roll away very preciously.

"Xie Yunjian doesn't seem to be bored." There are spies who go to report to the big guy of the Tang family.

The big man of the Tang family was relieved and said to the master: "Look, you are too worried!" How did he spy on the Tang family? How did the Holy One take advantage of him? The Holy One still believes in us! ”

The master of the Tang family had no choice but to nod his head and laugh at himself: It's really too worried!

But some information about Jincheng was just quietly found by Xie Yunjian at the end of the year, and now it will be sent to Emperor Cui Heng's hand by the hands of the Seventh Prince, who has been rolled away.

Cui Heng was deeply pleased, praised a few words, and said that when the spring flowers bloomed, the seventh prince would go to Jincheng again, and the overall situation could be determined.

Generally, when this sentence is spoken, it will always be followed by such a paragraph: No one thought that such a thing happened before the spring flowers bloomed......

Lin Dai was robbed by the river!

The smuggler of salt openly went north, ignoring the government, and the court was disgraced!

The people in the north have expressed their affection, and the Grand Law Division denounced the murderers and will eventually be brought to justice!

If there is a newsboy who sells it, he must shout out these loud headlines, overprinted in bright red.

Now fortunately, there are no annoying flies, but Cui Heng, as the emperor of the empire, also feels real pressure. He had to send a large number of troops to assemble there, and the matter of the Seventh Prince's southward movement had to be postponed. Who called it the only way to go north and south! The road is not quiet, and the emperor forces the prince to go south, which will inevitably make people talk about speculation, and it is not good to startle the snake.

In the same way, the big move in the capital. I had to delay it first. Cui Heng's teeth are itching, and he has the heart to all the smuggler salt dealers. He really wanted to follow the example of the previous dynasty and engrave the name and surname of the robber leader on his screen, so as to remind himself: "Destroy this dynasty!" ”

It's a pity that with a little difficulty, he didn't even know the name of the "salt bar".

"! Impotent! Can't even find that? What else do you expect to do! "He was furious. The person in charge of this matter is Hu Shizhong, the person of the eldest prince, who is very afraid that after being severely punished by the emperor, the authority will be withdrawn, and maybe it will be handed over to General Dongxun, and the eldest prince will definitely blame him for being useless and losing power. Isn't his glory and riches in vain?

It makes people shiver when they think about it. Hu Shizhong's brain was spinning rapidly. Got an idea. Jiecai, who helped him climb to such a high position, saved him again. He said: "The emperor taught you a lesson! Wechen is incompetent! "Bump into each other.

Admit your mistakes first, that's what every trained minion does.

After that, I realized the difference between stupid people and smart people.

Hu Shizhong said: "Weichen found out that this person's background is unknown, and he has no name or surname. Therefore, he did this unfortunate thing without a king and a husband. The gang of thieves had a nickname for him. He gave his nickname by his last name. It's just that the nickname is really indecent. How dare you offend the Holy Hearing? ”

Of course, Cui Heng reprimanded him: Indecent is not an excuse to conceal the report!

Hu Shizhong met again. made an effort to say it, but still broke down and begged for mercy: "Weichen really can't speak!" ”

He asked the emperor for permission to write it down on paper. Presented as a royal view.

Cui Heng allowed it.

After Hu Shizhong finished writing with trembling hands, he met again and again, claiming that he was guilty of capital crimes, and he didn't dare to hand over the paper to the eunuch after folding the paper. Or the eunuch took it himself and handed it over to the emperor.

Cui Heng looked at the paper and felt that Hu Shizhong was right. Not only is it not fitting to be engraved on his screen, but it is an insult to even show him. This kind of stigmatized character hurt his country and blocked his plans? Cui Heng is even more angry. Fifty years of cultivation could not stop him from becoming vicious. There was a fierce glint in his eyes.

The eunuch in charge of the pen skillfully signaled to the little eunuch, and everyone acted together in an exaggerated and effective manner, crushing the paper and scattering ashes. Cui Heng's mood finally calmed down a little, looked at Hu Shizhong, changed the topic, and asked the prince about his daily life.

Hu Shizhong gave a pertinent answer, and Cui Heng's mood was better. In the same way, when others say it, Cui Heng may not believe it, but when Hu Shizhong says it, Cui Heng believes it.

Not only because Hu Shizhong is solid and knowledgeable, but also because Hu Shizhong has a reliable character. There was a day when Cui Heng seemed to be chatting and asked him what he ate and drank at home one day. Hu Shizhong replied in 1510, it happened to entertain guests, what was there at the banquet, if you can't remember clearly, he said that he would go back and ask his wife to check, and then go back to the emperor. Cui Heng smiled, and said that there was a woman in the palace to chat with the Queen Mother today, and she happened to be a guest in Hu Shizhong. Coincidentally, Hu Shizhong didn't say a word, let alone ask the emperor why he wanted to know this. He didn't hesitate at all, didn't shirk at all, and answered honestly, solidly, and solidly. Cui Heng liked it and said to him with a smile: "It seems that the Queen Mother wants to reward you!" ”

The Queen Mother really rewarded him with a table of dishes, according to the specifications of the courtiers of the Long Live Lord's banquet, there are a full box of Yehui rice meal, a stem rice meal, a bird's nest chicken shredded soup, a duck spinal cord soup, a dry japonica rice meal, a lamb shredded egg powder soup, milk tea, fruit tea, dim sum, fruit clock, Su cake, abalone snail total a full box, 15 meat and vegetable dishes, and 8 fruits. His wife took him home and cleaned up.

This dish is still a trivial matter, and Hu Shizhong handed over Qi Tianhongyun after that. He once said to people: "The emperor is the sky." We must not deceive the heavens. This matter later reached Cui Heng's ears, and it was quite commendable. But it is also said that Cui Heng heard this sentence first, and then deliberately questioned Hu Shizhong about the banquet. What is the truth, the next people do not dare to speculate on the Sacred Heart. But soon after, Hu Shizhong was personally named by Cui Heng to assist the prince, which is true. Cui Heng also asked Hu Shizhong: "If the prince behaves inappropriately, he will tell you to listen to him." Do you listen to him? ”

Hu Shizhong immediately replied: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the courtiers." ”

Cui Heng felt relieved in his heart, and he couldn't wait to engrave these words on the book for the ministers to circulate and learn! After all, he has self-cultivation, not comparable to the superficial and impetuous people, he first pressed it at the moment, and then asked as if jokingly: "Then are you willing to serve the prince, or serve me?" ”

Hu Shizhong was stunned at all, and said: "The prince is the emperor's crown prince." His subordinates are the emperor's subordinates. Don't say that you are blessed to serve the prince. It is a horse and a stone that the emperor refers to, and his subordinates are also waiting for the emperor. ”

Cui Heng was quite satisfied, and the eunuch took the white jade cup, the black jade pot, the green jade chopstick, and the topaz spoon. The celebrant eunuch gave the salute and praised: "May the eunuch be as good as his form, and as clean and flawless as his color." "It is a white jade cup.

Hu Shizhong knelt down and received the gift.

The celebrant eunuch praised again: "May the eunuch be as hollow as its shape, and subtle and calm as its color." "It's a black jade pot.

Hu Shizhong once again knelt down to receive the gift.

The eunuch praised again: "May the eunuch be as upright and balanced as its shape, and the glory and beauty of the celebrity as its color." May the eunuchs be as harmonious as their shape, and as simple as their colors. "This is a green jade spoon and a topaz spoon.

Hu Shizhong knelt up four times, and finally praised: "May the ministers be dense and live up to the emperor's expectations." ”

The celebrant eunuch replied: "Good." ”

Courtesy. Cui Heng instructed a few more words and ordered him to retreat. The queen and Jiang Guifei went to Hu Shizhong for questioning.

The crown prince was originally born by Jiang Guifei, and the queen has no children under her knees, Jiang Guifei knows each other very well, even if this son is shared with the queen, and the queen is a head taller than Jiang Guifei, Jiang Guifei has always listened to the queen on the issue of parenting. This time, it was also the queen who asked behind the curtain: "Did the emperor point you to the crown prince today?" It's been so long, nothing has gone wrong, has it? ”

The palace people passed on this question, and Hu Shizhong replied truthfully: "Back to Niangniang, Weichen was fortunate to be appointed by the emperor as the prince's servant." Hui Niangniang, the blessing of the sky, a qiēshun lì. The emperor instructed the micro-ministers to serve the prince, and gave four jade gifts to exhort the micro-ministers to be respectful. ”

It is "based on facts", but not "evidence". Hu Shizhong conveyed the communication between the monarch and the minister to the harem, and he could not report it in great detail. Otherwise, it is suspected of leaking the details of the emperor's words and deeds. This is said to be frivolous in words and deeds at a small level, but it can lose its head when it is big!

Hu Shizhong can only choose the concubine who wants to play back, if they want to ask in more detail, it is that they are suspected of trying to spy on the emperor's privacy. This crime is especially sensitive to the women of the harem. One after the other climbed to today's position, of course, she knew the proportions, and she didn't ask anymore, just to see the reward. I was rewarded with some coral pearls, gold and silver toys, and silk and satin, not to mention.

In short, Hu Shizhong has assisted the prince since then. The emperor's spring and autumn period is gradually getting higher, and he intends to let this son have a good experience, and some things are specially handed over to the prince to do. The prince can't do everything himself, and he is always bothered by the people who assist him. Hu Shizhong's classics are transparent, the world is clear, and his temperament is honest, so he can't help but rely on the prince. Over the years, there has been no shame in what he has done, but there is only one thing: the smugglers on Xubei Road in Xunan are cunning, and it is really difficult to catch. The prince is also young and vigorous, so he has to ask in person, and even the people under him have a headache.

Hu Shizhong finally fooled Cui Heng about the name and surname of the leader of the smuggling salt dealers, and came down to talk to the officials, and then returned to the prince's palace, knelt straight and waited outside, quietly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and the sour and bitter taste prepared in advance was aroused, and tears also fell.

The prince knew that he was Cui Heng coming over, and he was beating a drum in his heart, and when he came out, he saw that his eyes were red and crying, and he was even more busy, and wanted to help him with both hands, and knelt down opposite him with weak legs, and asked, "Mr. Say something." What's going on! ”

Hu Shizhong whimpered and said: "Weichen has been blessed by the emperor's grace and blessed to serve the prince, and he has inherited the prince's ...... all these years." The prince was moved when he heard this, and tears were in his eyes. Hu Shizhong saw that the fire was coming, and then he said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Now the thieves are rampant, and they have all arrived in Gyeongnam Province. The courtiers who eat the king's affairs and are loyal to the king should be exterminated. The minister is a civil minister, he is not familiar with martial arts, he skims the book of soldiers, and he knows how to talk about soldiers on paper, but his strength is high, and his ambition cannot fall. The minister went here, with the heart of death, and only hoped that the prince would be in the matter of making armor, so and so, and in the matter of carriages and horses, and so and so-" The prince's recent troubles were talked about, on the surface, the old minister was dying and loyally left some construction for the master, but in fact, the prince was even more upset.
