Chapter 409: Filial Piety
The little eunuch fell to his knees and trembled.
"The sixth prince said with an accent, saying that he was grounded outside the palace and couldn't take care of the emperor, but he heard that the emperor had been unwell recently, so he specially asked the slave to ask the imperial dining room in the palace to make a perfect tonic soup and present it to the emperor." After the eunuch finished speaking, he fell to his knees again.
The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, unable to see joy and sorrow, and asked the little eunuch to get up and speak.
The little eunuch stood up tremblingly.
The emperor thought for a moment, "It can be regarded as a piece of his filial piety, which is rare." ”
The big chamberlain smiled, "No matter what, father and son are always in love, even if the 6th prince commits something wrong, his heart for the emperor is really worth the sun and the moon." ”
"That's not bad, it's hard for him." The emperor only verbally expressed his appreciation, but it seemed that there was no other meaning than that.
The little eunuch glanced at the emperor's face, and suddenly remembered what the people who had instructed him to come said, if the emperor and Yan Yuese were not too angry, then he could propose the next thing.
And the emperor seems to be exactly like this, and he is not too angry,
Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his head and said: "The six princes have always been very worried about the emperor's physical well-being, at this time, the five princes are sharing the government for the emperor outside, and no one under the emperor's knees is filial piety in front of the bed, the six princes know that they have made a big mistake and are uneasy, so I implore the emperor to be able to do their filial piety in front of the bed, which can be regarded as a little compensation." ”
When the emperor heard this, he took a leisurely breath, and then said after a long time: "It's rare for him to have some thoughts, but he is now guilty of sin, and it is not appropriate to come out. ”
The little eunuch nodded and immediately said, "The slave understands. ”
"When you go back, remember to tell him, let him remember that the weather is cold and more clothes, the weather has been going back and forth recently, don't be greedy for the cold." The emperor said slowly.
The little eunuch was overjoyed and kowtowed.
The emperor waved his hand, as if he didn't want to hear more from him, so the little eunuch hurriedly went down.
The big chamberlain came over and asked worriedly: "The emperor is really gone, the emperor hasn't seen the six princes for many days, I'm afraid the six princes can't feel at ease at this time, the emperor is sick that the whole court knows about it, and the six princes are also worried about the emperor's body." ”
The emperor waved his hand, "If there is a mistake, it will be punished, and there is nothing to say, when he knows where he is wrong, he really thinks about it, and I will see him again." ”
The eldest chamberlain nodded, "The emperor is really well-intentioned, if the six princes learn about the emperor's intentions, they will definitely learn from the pain, and they will never dare to make the same mistake again." ”
"Born in the emperor's family, although I know that some things are unavoidable, but what I fear most is fratricide, now that the overall situation has been decided and the dust has settled, there is no need to cause unnecessary incidents." The emperor sighed leisurely, and then lay down.
The Great Chamberlain nodded, and he didn't speak for a long time. Xiaotao Chinese
When Gu Jianglin returned to the house, he found that Xu Zhi had ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and the good fruit wine smelled pleasant, but it was not intoxicating.
"What day is it? It's such a fanfare. He asked with a smile, and after washing his hands and sitting down at the dining table, he was served by the maid.
"It's not a big day." Xu didn't know how to smile.
"I just think that you are in the court today, everything must not be smooth, those people in the court regard us as a thorn in the flesh, especially those who are powerful and monstrous, even more so, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Qi Lichen asked.
"It's not bad, but the prime minister is obviously against me." Gu Jianglin sighed, "The insect plague in the capital is more serious than I imagined, although the method of catching with nets was good before, there are still a lot of fish that have slipped through the net, and their breeding speed, especially in this season, is even faster." ”
Qi Lichen thought about it carefully, and then said: "I have a way, everything in this world, life and life, it is birds that restrain locusts, if you can put some birds that specialize in eating locusts on the farmland, I think the effect will be better, after all, these birds have to fill their stomachs, and they can eat more locusts than we imagined." ”
"That's good." Gu Jianglin nodded approvingly, "Taoism says that all things are mutually reinforcing, that's the truth. ”
"It's just that catching birds is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive." Qi Lichen shook his head and sighed, "I don't know if those ministers will have any opposition to this idea, not to mention that now the border is eyeing each other, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, at this time, we must show the attitude of our country, otherwise, wouldn't it make them feel that we are like soft persimmons, let others pinch and pinch us." ”
Gu Jianglin was actually thinking about this problem, and thought for a long time before saying: "There must be no war between the two countries, so at this time, we still have to focus our mistakes on those people who burn and loot, we can ignore that they are soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, think that they are robbers and bandits, and then increase our efforts to strive to be able to arrest some of them, this aspect expresses our strong attitude, and when the autumn harvest is over in two days, the grain is abundant, and we can transport the grain to the border gate, In this way, it will give the soldiers in the army a shot in the arm, and it can also deter the Jin country. ”
"I heard that there is a shortage of food, if we don't send the food, I'm afraid the soldiers and horses will not be willing to dispatch, and it will not play a deterrent role when the time comes, and it will make the Jin country feel that we are at the end of the road, and there is no food and grass, so I think it is better to allocate a part of the food and salary from the treasury and give it to the soldiers on the front line first, which can boost morale and let them have no worries." Qi Lichen suggested.
Gu Jianglin nodded, "That's true, if you don't take care of them now, if there is a real war one day, the morale of the army is weakened, and then it is really defeated, then the fault will be big." ”
"But if the fifth prince wants to do this now, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Qi Lichen smiled faintly, and then said: "I'm afraid that the ministers in the court have already made every effort to contradict you, and now although the emperor is better, he has been closed to the house, it seems that he wants you to bear all this, which is also a test for the emperor." ”
Gu Jianglin nodded, "Actually, I can also see that my father is always a little distant from me. ”
"It's different now, the emperor has named you the crown prince, even if the proverbs on the stone didn't make him back down, it is estimated that he wants you to make a difference in the court, so that the ministers will be convinced of you, so that your future road will be much easier." Qi Lichen said.
Gu Jianglin actually didn't think about it this way, but he just felt that after so many years of estrangement between father and son, now, is there really family affection?
I just thought so, but I never dared to ask such a thing.
"Asking for a good way to deal with the plague of locusts today, those ministers always have many complaints, and if they know that they have to spend money from the treasury, I am afraid that they will have to give birth to many words." As soon as Gu Jianglin thought of the court, he was either a treacherous party or an old stubborn, and he felt a headache when he thought about it.
However, in the past two days, I have also had a deeper understanding, being the king of a country really can't be arbitrary, everything has to be in the framework, beyond that framework, there will be countless words in the ears, which is really tireless.
Although Gu Jianglin was annoying, he also knew that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility on his body, this was what he deserved, he couldn't complain, no matter what happened, he had to move forward.
