Chapter 1012: A Request to the Emperor
Chapter 1012 Requirements for the Emperor
Empress Dowager Cao seemed to let go of a big stone in her heart and said to Su You: "Your character, conduct, and knowledge are impeccable. Emperor Renzong has always favored you, but he didn't look at the wrong person. ”
"You are willing to take the risk of interfering and send Wei'er into the palace to treat me, which shows that you have always been thinking of my love, and you are a good boy."
Su You couldn't hold back any longer, and tears finally dripped onto the back of his hand: "But why do you want to refuse, Queen Mother?" ”
Empress Dowager Cao said: "The old woman knows her condition, you are still of great use to the country and your brother, how can you be tainted with an unpleasant reputation because of the old woman?" ”
Su You's two orphans, if there are women in this world that he admires, Mrs. Cheng is one, which is the image of Su You's mother, and Empress Dowager Cao is another, the image of Su You's grandmother.
Although the two rarely have the opportunity to meet, he has always felt Empress Dowager Cao's care, love, and even protection for him.
It can be said that if there is no Empress Dowager Cao, there is no such thing as Su You.
Su You choked up and said, "Why is the Queen Mother here? You should know that Su You is not afraid of this. ”
"I know." Empress Dowager Cao's face turned back, and there was a smile like a narrow smile: "But I want you to owe me a favor." And...... Never yet. ”
Su You's heart shook violently, and his face suddenly turned pale.
In a word, it hit Su You's biggest weakness.
Coming to this world, he has been giving, giving, and making many people owe him affection.
And he himself, except for his relatives, never owes anyone affection, at most only the exchange of interests.
This is Su You's subconscious self-protection, and it is also his last trace of alienation from the world.
He came from another world, which allowed him to be detached from this world and see everything that was going on in this world with a God's perspective and a scrutinizing gaze.
This gives him a kind of casual and lazy temperament that sees through everything.
Mingrun is indifferent, and is talked about by the government and the opposition.
But today, the wisest woman of the Great Song Empire used the softest words to destroy the hardest kernel in his heart, making him helpless and extremely weak at this moment.
Empress Dowager Cao looked at Su You's reaction and knew that she had succeeded.
She finally relaxed completely, and her voice became more and more weak: "If you really want to pay it back, you will return it to Da Song, to the people, to my brother, and to help my brother realize his wish......"
Su You burst into tears and said in a choked voice: "Minister Su You, I will do my best for the Great Song Dynasty, do my best, and live up to the Empress Dowager...... Expected ......"
Empress Dowager Cao fell asleep, and Su You walked out lightly with Zhao Ji.
Gao Taotao took his children to rest, and there will be a big event next, so he must be a little mentally boiled.
Zhao Ji sat on the brocade pier, like a helpless child: "Mingrun, thank you for your Junjun for alleviating a lot of suffering for the Queen Mother." ”
Su You asked tentatively: "Qian Yi, a famous doctor in Zhejiang, and Tang Shenwei, a famous doctor in Shuzhong, are now waiting for the decree in the palace, Your Majesty ......"
Zhao Ji shook his head: "The Queen Mother said that she didn't want to be tortured by illness anymore, she said...... It's not terrible to die, it's terrible to die without dignity or dignity......"
Su You froze on the spot.
“…… Mingrun, you know what? That year was close to the Qingming Festival, the Empress Dowager was ill, and I was sick in the cabinet. ”
"She heard me complain to the internal officials in her sleep, saying that no one would wear a saddle bridle with beads now, so she quietly asked someone to measure the size of the saddle on my mount, and then found a Xuansuo jade saddle bridle in the relics of Emperor Renzong, and ordered the workshop to wear a pair of beads to me."
"I was so overjoyed with the beauty of the pearl that I immediately called for someone to be placed on my little black horse, and rode wildly......
"When she was able to move, I personally built a small chariot for the Empress Dowager, helped her to sit on it and took her to the cool hall to relax, and the Empress Dowager took over and helped him down with me. The Empress Dowager said happily that the Empress Dowager of the official family personally supported her, and when she was a daughter in the Cao family, she knew that she was prosperous today! ”
"After I became in power, as long as I dealt with political affairs a little later, my grandmother always waited for me to retire from the court, and then took me back to the palace......"
"My mother is very strict with me, every time I am taught a lesson, I can always find comfort and relief from my grandmother, she always accompanies me until I regain my strength, and then I go about my own business......"
"Mingrun, the person who loves me the most now, the person who loves me so much, she ...... She's leaving......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ji's tears couldn't hold back again.
Su You also accompanied him to tears: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is merciful, Bianjing, the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many people have received favors." Your Majesty should suppress the mourning and strengthen the spirit. In addition to the Queen Mother, the Prince, several people who need His Majesty's comfort, as well as the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"This is related to the mourning of the Empress Dowager, and it is related to her old man's dignity and decency, and we can't make a mistake in this."
Zhao Ji cried: "Mingrun, I'...... My mind is now ...... in turmoil."
Su You arched his hand: "Please Your Majesty immediately summon Wang Yuyu, Lu Gongzhu, clan brother, Feng Jing and other old ministers who are familiar with the rules and etiquette of the imperial court into the palace to wait for the decree, as well as the Zhizhi Zhangdian, Cai Jing and other Mingmin ministers to wait for the edict." ”
"The minister is not here by His Majesty's order, when this is a major event, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will cause criticism, and he should no longer be in the palace."
Zhao Ji looked up with tears in his eyes: "You want to leave?" ”
Su You wept and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister's greatest wish is to accompany the Empress Dowager to complete her last journey, but the minister has just come back from the outside road, and he has just come out of Wutai. ”
"And the minister is too young, such a major event, since the minister who has experienced it to handle, there will be no mistakes."
"The ministers will leave the palace first, and then they will be summoned by His Majesty's decree, so that the system is in order. Your Majesty, there is Wei'er by the side of the Queen Mother...... It can be regarded as fulfilling this loyalty and filial piety for the ministers. ”
Zhao Ji was a little weak at this moment: "Mingrun ......"
Su You sighed secretly in his heart: "It's okay, the minister will accompany Your Majesty, wait until the deacons arrive, and then go out through the side door." ”
The monarch and the minister were speechless, and sat and stood, each caught up in his own thoughts.
Zhao Ji is not the best monarch, but he is at least a monarch with feelings.
A tyrant like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Su You must have run as far as he could; Like Yingzong's indifferent humanoid machine, Su You must not be able to work.
And although Zhao Ji is not a lot, at least mentally, he is a normal person.
He is also balancing, calculating, and many times, the means are still very clumsy.
But after balancing and calculating, there are still some feelings of shame and guilt in his heart, and in Su You's eyes, he is already a king above the level.
It shows that this person still has feelings and knows right and wrong.
Today is undoubtedly Zhao Ji's weakest day, Su You knew for the first time that a thirty-year-old emperor could still cry like a child.
Compared to his father, who pretended to be stupid and stunned in front of Renzong Ling, and couldn't shed a single tear, Su You felt that such a king was worth serving for himself.
What exactly should be the requirements for the emperor?
If Sima Guang answers this, then he must be as heroic and handsome as Tang Taizong;
If Wang Anshi answers, then it must be as true as the three generations;
If Fan Zhongyan answers, then you must keep the world in mind and worry first and then be happy;
But when he came to Su You, he only asked for a monarch who could have at least human feelings.
There is the kind of feeling that Mencius said, when he sees a child who is about to fall into the well, he cries out for help, regardless of whether he is his own child or not.
Many emperors really think that they are the Son of Heaven and think that the monarchy comes from heaven.
And Su You is very glad that in this era he has traveled to, even if the sycophants are crazy about it, there is no monarch who is stupid enough to really think so.
So they are wary of the use of violence; The decision on punishment is very prudent.
In fact, Su You does not see this as a weakness, on the contrary, he sees it as a sign of civilization and progress.
The Son of Heaven was furious, lying in wait for thousands of miles, bleeding and drifting.
As a traverser, Su You can't figure it out anyway, why do some people think it's a kind of "cool"!
In Su You's heart, it was a naked crime against humanity!
The Son of Heaven is cool, but has anyone asked the corpses how they feel?!
