Chapter 071: Actor Longqing (II)
Li Guifei didn't know why the emperor suddenly said this kind of thing, although she was born in a peasant family, she encountered a lot of hardships in life when she was a child, she had a resolute personality, and she rarely wavered in what she decided, but in the end, she didn't have any outstanding talent. In her mind, no matter what kind of person the emperor is, in the final analysis, it is her husband and her heaven. Therefore, the emperor suddenly talked about this kind of thing that seemed to her as "the sky is falling", and she was quite frightened for a while, and she didn't know what to do.
In her concept, as the emperor's concubine, even if she is a noble concubine, she should follow the emperor's thoughts when she does not involve any "Jiangshan Sheji". However, now that the emperor is talking about this, she doesn't want to think about it at all, how can she be willing to follow this line of thought? Do you say to the emperor: Don't worry, I will take care of my son after you die?
Long Qing sighed and said, "Recently, I've been thinking that no matter what Emperor Jing said back then, at least the emperor didn't do badly, but in the end, ...... It took so many years to be recognized. I am luckier than Emperor Jing, this throne can only be mine in the end. However, I sometimes think, what is the problem with Emperor Jing's change in seizing the door back then? ”
Li Guifei felt a little strange in her heart, and said secretly: Yingzong is the emperor's great-grandfather (great-grandfather's father), why does he always wonder about Daizong's high-uncle ancestor?
"Later, I found out one thing, when Emperor Jing found out about the change in seizing the door and the commotion in the palace, he actually asked if Yu Qian was plotting against him...... It's not unjust. Long Qing sighed: "Emperor Jing was able to ascend to the throne at the beginning, firstly, the Queen Mother agreed, but in fact, the most important thing is Yu Qian's support. Later, Emperor Jing seemed to be reusing Qian, but in fact, he didn't really trust Qian in his heart, so he would ask if Yu Qian was rebelling. ”
He looked directly into Concubine Li's eyes and said, "So I understand a truth: the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, even if they hold great power and even military power like Yu Qian back then, will not rebel." On the contrary, some people who are not satisfied with their status, whether they are ministers, military generals or eunuchs, are likely to engage in speculation and take risks. Therefore, I have always been unwavering in the use of Mr. Gao to govern. ”
Li Guifei understood a little bit of what the emperor wanted to express at this time, although she didn't know much about Gao Gong at this time, she still knew Gao Gong's teaching and support for the emperor, and she had a good impression, but she always heard people talk about Gao Gong's strong personality, and there was often some "rush" between words, which made this good feeling inevitably discounted.
"What does the emperor mean?" She asked tentatively.
Long Qing smiled bitterly: "If I have anything in the future, you must believe in my gentlemen, they may have different personalities, different ways of doing things, and even the concept of government may not be exactly the same, but they are all loyal to me, and there will be no big rebellious thoughts......" He also wanted to be more clear, and felt that he had said enough today, and it was really not very auspicious to continue talking, so he stopped.
Concubine Li Guifei didn't dare to let the emperor continue, and hurriedly said: "The concubines understand, the concubines remember: the emperor's gentlemen are loyal and reliable courtiers. ”
Long Qing opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally just sighed: "Well, that's it." Then he stood up and said, "Xuan Guozhang." ”
Li Wei entered the hall and found his daughter standing beside the emperor, looking a little dazed, and the emperor himself seemed to be a little distracted.
The old man's heart tightened, he didn't dare to think about it, he stepped forward and bowed: "The ministers and guards are all in command of Li Wei, I have seen Your Majesty and the concubine." ”
Sanhu long live or something, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, was not so strict, especially in this kind of not particularly formal occasion.
"Well, the abbot is flat, give the seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Li Wei sat down, Long Qing and Li Guifei had already sat down in advance, and Long Qing asked, "Is everything going well on this trip?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's all going well." Xiao Lao'er felt that the atmosphere was not quite right today, so he didn't dare to say a word more.
"That's good, hard work." Long Qing said casually: "These days, the things that happened in Beijing for a few dolls, the grandfather of the country knows, right?" ”
Old man Li Wei's eyes rolled, and he didn't dare to answer too much, but said vaguely: "Minister...... I've heard of it. ”
Li Guifei sat beside the emperor and frowned a little when she listened, but Long Qing didn't seem to mind at all, but smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm just afraid that the prince will be lonely, after all, his younger brother is too young, and according to the emperor's ancestral teachings, the two of them can't play together more, so I want to find him a companion who seems to be different in age." ”
"Your Majesty's loving heart, the prince must be extremely grateful."
"The prince is benevolent and filial, so he naturally understands my thoughts." Long Qing said with a smile: "But the outer court is not satisfied, the outer court said that there are few decent children of these martial ministers and nobles, and they have been getting along with the prince for a long time, but they are afraid that they will take the prince badly...... What do you think? ”
Li Wei was so anxious that his brain was sweating, and he said in his heart: What do I think? How the fuck do I dare to think about it? You are the emperor, you say that you can't think about it and it's over, how convenient it is for me to follow you! If I'm wrong, isn't it a big problem?
"Ahem!" Li Guifei coughed lightly.
Li Wei secretly glanced at his daughter, and saw that her daughter was sitting still, her face expressionless, but the two hands that were folded in front of her stretched out an index finger of her right hand, pointing in the direction of the cabinet, and then suddenly pointing upward.
The little old man suddenly blessed his soul, and said loudly: "Ah, the minister thinks that the old man of the high pavilion is knowledgeable, and the temple is lofty, if your majesty has doubts, you might as well ask the old man of the high pavilion to ask, and he will be able to solve your majesty's worries." ”
It turned out that this little old man described Gao Gong, and he would have eight words back and forth: "Hongwen is knowledgeable, and the temple is lofty", and I don't know who taught him.
But Li Guifei's guidance was very in place, although Long Qing could see it clearly, the smile on his face was still bigger, and he nodded: "What the prince said is very true, I have already asked the cabinet to hand over a note on this matter, Mr. Gao, and their opinion is that since I am afraid that the prince will be lonely, it is better to select a few children who have both ability and integrity but are the same age as the prince from the homes of civil officials above the third rank in the court to accompany the prince to study...... I think it's a good idea, but it's a bit too big to choose. ”
"Then this is ......" Li Wei was a little blind after hearing this, and was about to say, "Then this is not easy to do", subconsciously glanced at his daughter again, but saw that her daughter really stretched out a finger again, but this time, it was pointing at him, who was a father.
Li Wei rolled his eyes, and saw that the emperor's face sank, and hurriedly picked up the conversation again: "This is ...... This will be handed over to the minister, although the minister is only on an errand in Jinyiwei, but after all, he still knows some people, and the minister went to talk to them and said, I believe there will not be many uninteresting people to join in this fun. ”
Long Qing frowned slightly, why did he say this in his heart, why did it change the taste in your mouth? But then I thought about it: forget it, it's not easy for him to understand what he means, so be it, this kind of thing is only suitable for people like him to do, who else is willing to do this kind of work? If Meng Chong and Feng Bao are allowed to do it, I am afraid that there will be other incidents. Just let him go, after all, he is the prince's grandfather, so it's convenient to say this.
So he finally nodded: "The national lord is willing to share my worries, and I am very pleased." Come on, give the country a bullfighting suit and two catties of Fujian tribute tea. ”
Fujian tribute tea, that is mostly the big red robe, probably Longqing thinks that this tea is very suitable for the elderly to recuperate.
Li Wei was busy and thanked him.
Long Qing said with a smile: "Guozhang has been in a hurry all the way, and he has worked hard, so go back and rest early." ”
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him again, and retreated.
"Okay, concubine, I'll go first." Long Qing stood up and said to Li Guifei.
"The concubine sends the emperor."
As soon as Longqing left, Concubine Li frowned slightly, thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong: How do you feel that the reason why the emperor saw my father here today was to deliberately ask me to guide him?
