Chapter Twenty-Six: King Luo's Mention (1)

King Hua: "I am 30 years old this year, and several uncles were named kings in various places when they were about 30 years old, and the king of Chu was still 28 years old at the time. Not to mention my father, who sat in the army at the age of 22 and stationed in the reserve for my grandfather. At my age, I have only walked through two cities, not to mention, I have lived in the palace, and I have never even come out of China, even if I am the prime minister of the political hall, how can I know the suffering of the people? A few days ago, there was a joke in the Northern Qing Dynasty, saying that the emperor thought that 10 taels of an egg, I specially asked, the price given to me in the imperial dining room was 3 taels, I thought this was grounded, who would have thought, I told me that 3 taels can buy a few catties! Okay, I sent someone to the suburbs of Huadu two days ago, and asked how much I could buy for 3 taels, and the reply to me was nearly 1,700 eggs. Ladies and gentlemen, if the empire wants to be good, I have to leave the palace, I have to go and see. Taifu, you taught me, 'bow down to everything', judging from the egg matter, I am already in an environment where I am fooled by all parties, and I no longer believe in people. ”

Mohag was speechless at the moment, and the whole room fell silent.

After waiting for a while, Mo Haige finally spoke, and said: "Three things, one is that Mo Hu wants to send the Central Fleet to escort, the local fleet of the King of Chu wants to sail out of the Twin Islands, when King Hua is in the Twin Islands, he must not approach, the Central Fleet sails directly into the port of Zhaojia City, and the military government must allow the gun to be aimed at Zhaojia; Second, the military and political authority of the Twin Islands is temporarily under the responsibility of the overseer Ma Chongshan, and all the officials of the three products of the Twin Islands are all confined at home, and whether they can travel is determined by the Qin Cha; The third is the trip of King Hua, which is a mission for Qin, and King Hua is the main one. In addition, Hua Tianxiong was appointed as the deputy envoy, mainly responsible for foreign affairs and the politics of the twin islands. Qi Tian Shun was the deputy envoy, mainly responsible for military extermination. The Central Fleet at sea is in charge, and on land the Royal Palace Guard is in charge. Liang Ji of the Huadu Admiralty also went to coordinate the defense of the two sides. It can only be a week from the time of departure. ”

Mo Hu: "The military government has no problem. We can't move the warship of King Chu. ”

Mohag: "Okay. I'll talk to the king of Chu. ”

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

The four princes have now become busy men in the empire, and they are all present on any occasion that requires the presence of the royal family or the officials of the inquisition.

For these "annoying" ceremonial activities, the cabinet also divided the work among the four princes, and King Qi was responsible for all kinds of Huadu's 20th anniversary enthronement achievement exhibitions, whether it was physical objects such as construction and goods. or calligraphy, painting, piano and other cultural ones, all of them have to attend, basically one every two days; Huai Wang is in charge of the celebrations held by various forces in Huadu, including those held by chambers of commerce, foreign business groups, and universities, which are also the same every two days; King Luo understands English, and when it comes to foreign affairs activities, almost all of them are arranged for King Luo; King of Chu, this is not arranged by Li Huaqian to visit, invite neighboring countries, and send an embassy to celebrate.

The four kings were arranged to live in Zuo Zhengyuan, and the reason given by the cabinet was that it was convenient to travel.

Zuo Zheng Garden, originally built to Prince Ansheng reserved for the use of the East Palace in the palace complex, the area of the left circle is about a quarter of the harem, its core building is the "Prince Ansheng" mansion, a three-entry palace, the government is set slightly smaller than the main hall of Shuo, but basically similar to the main hall of Shuo, but this palace has been sealed for a long time, the main hall is still placed on the tablet of Prince Ansheng, when His Majesty is in good health, he will often come over to send condolences.

After the palace, there were some scattered small gardens, which were originally intended to be reserved for the residences of the attendants of Prince Ansheng's East Palace, but now they have become a high-standard placement place for foreign envoys of the imperial family.

The four princes settled in these small gardens, a courtyard into the courtyard, indeed a little wronged by the princes, fortunately, each garden has its own small garden after its own small garden, the entire left circle, each small garden named after Xunzi "persuasion".

King Luo stayed in a small garden called "Qi Ming Yuan", taken from the last sentence of persuasion: "The sky sees its light, the earth sees its light, and the gentleman is noble." ”

The other three, King Qi stayed in the "Blue Pavilion" and obtained the first sentence of "Persuasion", "Qing, take it from the blue, and the green is in the blue", which is not considered to have insulted the oldest person; King Huai stayed in the "Grass Run Zhai" to obtain the "jade in the mountains and the grass runs, the deep pearls and the cliffs are not dry"; The king of Chu stayed in the "Jinshun Garden" and obtained the second part of the "Therefore, the gentleman is not arrogant, not hidden, not blind, and respectfully obeys his body." "Literally, these four should not be close, and the reality is also true.

As soon as the four of them arrived at their own small garden, the two little attendants instructed: The palace is quiet, outsiders should not disturb, the princes will serve under the palace when they enter the palace, and the palace will be conveyed by the subordinates. The four kings have not protested, nor have they argued with reason, and the king of Qi even asked the little attendants in the palace to go to and from the palace more than 100 times late at night on the grounds that the food was not palatable.

Even so, without the means to tear their faces, the four kings' contacts with the outside world were almost all under the supervision of the cabinet and the inner court.

Fortunately, every two days, there is a moment when the people from the prince's mansion can come in to deliver a change of clothes, and it will take less than half an hour, which has become a critical moment for the prince to contact the outside.

Mo Longxiang and Luo Wangfu Zuo Changshi Qian Youhe arrived successively, Qian Youhe arrived first, Qian Youhe saw that Mo Longxiang had arrived, so he beckoned him to come over, Luo Wang stood in the pavilion of the small garden, with his back to the courtyard gate and the path into the pavilion, and when Mo Longxiang entered the pavilion, Luo Wang slowly turned around, at that moment, Mo Longxiang seemed to feel the powerlessness and weakness of Luo Wang.

King Luo looked at Mo Longxiang with complicated eyes, and said in a low voice: "Listen to Lao Qian, it's not easy for you to come in, Your Majesty has put us under house arrest, I see you, so much trouble." ”

"Let a little profit, let it go, don't take it to heart. I've got an errand here, and I'm in a hurry, and I need to talk to you. Mo Longxiang finished speaking. King Luo looked at Qian Youhe and said, "You should take care of the affairs of the family more, and the affairs of Huadu will be up to the world." If there is chaos in the province, you go to the town, and if it is in the army, let the prince go. If something big happens, the idea is delayed, and when I can enter the palace, I will make a decision, if not, the matter is too urgent, listen to the son of the world. If I don't come out, I will definitely help the prince go back, and the whole army will obey the prince without taking care of me. In front of Mo Longxiang, King Luo said to Qian Youhe, firstly, to make arrangements, and secondly, to promote Mo Longxiang's position in the army.

After saying these words, Qian Youhe left with interest.

Mo Longxiang: "The twin islands are in chaos, King Hua is on a mission to go, and the Central Fleet is responsible for maritime security." ”
