Chapter 304: Confused
This magnificent project, looking at it, there is a feeling of pulling mountains and rivers.
Only then did the emperor completely understand that he was not the person he entrusted to him, and this matter had already been decided in his heart, and he could see through it at a glance.
Those ministers really have nothing to do, maybe there is someone behind them, the emperor thought of this, sighed leisurely, but he didn't expect that what he was most worried about still happened.
The two sons who he trusted and were closest to him were still fighting openly and secretly behind his back, he sighed leisurely, stood on top of the high dam, and looked into the distance, he had always been not very concerned about Gu Jianglin's son, and he was suspicious of him.
Thinking of this, he sighed leisurely, after all, he still missed too much.
Gu Jianglin chatted with the emperor for a while. The estrangement between father and son for many years has disappeared in this way, but there seems to be a scar again, although it has healed, but the scar after healing is still there.
After a while, it was time to start work in the afternoon, although he knew that it was a little bad to say goodbye suddenly at this time, but it was about to end, he didn't want to have an accident at this time, thinking of this, he hugged his fist and saluted and said: "Father, the son still has important things to do, so I will leave first." ”
The emperor nodded slightly, didn't care, waved his hand and said: "You go, by the way, this time the dam court has not allocated much money, a lot of money is added by you, you go and make an account book, I will clear the debts for you." ”
Gu Jianglin was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the emperor, he didn't know what the emperor thought, he really wanted to pay off his debts.
He smiled, "It's just some spare money, and it's useless for the sons and daughters to take it out at this time to serve the country, and it won't be considered to be a disappointment to the money." ”
"Having said that, whether it is public or private, this money should not be paid by you, but by the treasury." The emperor said in a deep voice.
And such a big initiative, if it is said that it is a prince who funded the construction in the future, then what will be the face of the country?
Gu Jianglin saw that the emperor insisted on this, and it was difficult to push it again, so he nodded and said, "The minister has thanked his father here." ”
"You go first." The emperor said.
Gu Jianglin nodded, turned around and retreated.
The big chamberlain immediately stepped forward and put a cloak on the emperor's shoulder, "It's getting late, it's cold by the river, the emperor should pay more attention to his body." ”
The emperor sighed, and then said, "Maybe I'm also old, so my energy is not as good as before." ”
The big inner servant smiled: "The emperor's dragon horse spirit, why bother to serve the old?" ”
The Emperor sighed leisurely, "If you don't look at the actions of these young people, you will always feel that you are not old." ”
The big maid smiled, "It's normal for talented people to come out of the country, but the emperor is very interested in Miss Xi who provided the dam blueprints." ”
"To be able to conceive such a project, it must be a rare genius, if it can be retained, it is naturally great, such a person will definitely be able to give the country a lot of construction." The emperor squinted his eyes slightly and said.
"But he is a woman, even if he has such talents, I am afraid there is no way to enter the court as an official, the emperor...... What exactly do you think? The Great Chamberlain asked cautiously.
"Even if such a woman can't enter the court as an official, if she can become the best help for the future prince, it will naturally be the best." The emperor smiled, as if he had his own plans.
When the inner servant heard this, he was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to have this kind of thought, who did the emperor want Xi Muyun to be? The Six Princes or the Five Princes?
And this time, the emperor seems to be on the side of the five princes, although in the court, the wind is surging, the waves are continuous, and the emperor chooses the successor at this time, so why not hand over the mess to others.
Although the great chamberlain understands it very well in his heart, he also knows that now is not the time to talk too much, and the emperor is very suspicious, especially in the matter of the storage position, he has not made up his mind for so many years, and it is also because he doesn't know who to trust.
The news soon reached Xi Muyun's ears, it was a message sent by Gu Jianglin's cronies, saying that the emperor wanted to see him, although Xi Muyun had been in the society of imperial supremacy for a long time, but she had never seen the emperor, thinking that the emperors in the history books were all majestic, the Son of Heaven was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed.
Although I haven't seen it, when I learned the news, I still had some vague expectations in my heart, and I was also a little worried, after all, I accepted the modern civilized society, and I had never knelt down to anyone else, if I saw the emperor, he didn't know what to do, if he didn't kneel, it was very likely that his head would bleed, and if he knelt, he felt awkward.
After all, kneeling to the sky, kneeling down to parents, there has never been a saying that you bow down to strangers, and this is the case with the education received in modern society.
Xi Muyun thought about it and said with some embarrassment: "Is it okay not to go?" The Fifth Prince should know that I don't like to see people very much. ”
"This ...... The fifth prince persuaded the emperor for you, but the emperor didn't listen, and there was no way. The cronie said.
It seems that there is really no possibility of refusing now, thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Are you going to Yanzhou?" ”
The cronie nodded and said, "Yes, you should get on the road as soon as possible." ”
Xi Muyun nodded, he hadn't been to Yanzhou for a long time, and he didn't know how the dam was going, how spectacular it would be to see such a modern project in ancient times.
It would be nice to have a camera, so that you could take pictures of what you see now, and if you have the opportunity to go back later, you can tell if it was all a dream or something that really happened.
She sighed, the emperor's edict naturally made people dare not have the slightest neglect, Bai Ze came over that night, and said with some worry: "The emperor asked you to go, I don't know what is going on, in short, I may not be happy." ”
"If the emperor wants to arrest someone, why should he use this method to invite him?" Xi Muyun smiled and said: "What's more, your son-in-law's identity is hidden, no one will know, even if he knows that Qi Lichen is at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, why bother to go around and find me?" So you can rest assured, it should only be for the sake of the dam. ”
What's more, this project is not common in this era, and it will also make people feel strange, the emperor should also want to ask him where he lost and how he can better serve the court.
Although he didn't understand this aspect of things, the strange book had already been given to Gu Jianglin, and when the time came, ask Gu Jianglin what he thought, whether to let that strange book be revealed to the world, and let him make a choice.
I cleaned it up casually, but I just took some change of clothes, and after taking it, I still felt that something was missing, so I turned my head and asked Cuiyun and said, "Do you need to prepare anything to see the emperor?" For example, what formal dress? I used to watch TV series...... No, that's what is written in the script, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the emperor. ”
"That should only be for the court wife, you have to call yourself a grass citizen in front of the emperor, so you don't need so much etiquette." Cuiyun said with a smile.
"That means that I don't have to kneel in front of the emperor." Xi Muyun said happily.
Mainly in modern times, there are not many places where this etiquette of kneeling in front of elders is spread, and there is really no such habit.
Cuiyun smiled and glanced at her, "How is that possible?" Ordinary people not only have to kneel in front of the emperor, but also bury their heads on the ground to show respect, and they can't look at the emperor with their eyes at will, otherwise it will be disrespectful. ”
