Chapter Twenty-Five: The Gentleman's Will

The emperor didn't want to discuss the matter of Jizhou Juntian anymore, and this matter was not the work of one or two days. Or wait until the details of the other states have arrived, and they will discuss it together.

The emperor flipped through the sparse chapter on the case, flipped through it a few times, looked up at Li Chong and asked, "Li Shangshu, what happened to the host and guest Cao to lobby Pei Zhaoming of the Southern Dynasty?" What did the Southern Envoy say? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has been to the host and guest Cao several times in the past few days, and the host and guest order Zhang Yi reported that he had asked a few host and guest men to meet with the southern envoy for several days, and the southern envoy had agreed to hang the queen mother first and then ask to see His Majesty to present the credentials, but he still insisted on hanging in the official uniform of the Southern Dynasty."

The affairs of the host and guest Cao should be in charge of one of the nine Qings, Da Honglu, but the emperor attaches great importance to the matter of worshiping the queen mother, so he specially arranged it for Li Chong, who served as the southern Shangshu, who is mainly responsible for the affairs of the southern border states, and the southern Qi is in the south, and it makes sense that Li Chong is in charge. This kind of thing is both a public and private matter for the emperor, so Li Chong is also very concerned about this matter.

"Since the southern envoy has come to my great generation to hang, how can he serve the Southern Dynasty Zhu Fu, the southern envoy insists that the rude trip is his business, I can't cater to the southern envoy's will and laugh at this dynasty." After speaking, he said: "Li Qing can choose a person who can speak well and continue to lobby the southern envoy, and it is necessary for the southern envoy to change his mind." ”

Pei Zhaoming's concerns The emperor of course understands that Pei Zhaoming came to hire this time, there was no mourning, but it happened suddenly, and now it is a critical moment for the two countries to reconcile, and entering his country to mourn his funeral is where the ancient rites are, as long as these circumstances are made clear, as long as the southern envoy understands the reason, he will not refuse, as for insisting on wearing the official mansion of the Southern Dynasty for the funeral, it is also because he is afraid of going back and being blamed for losing his courtiers. But he is the emperor of the Great Wei, not the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, he can't control how difficult Pei Zhaoming is, and it is the ancient rule to ask him to hang himself in mourning clothes, and he should not give in here a little.

"Yes."

The emperor continued to check the urgent affairs that needed to be dealt with on the case, and discussed with the ministers about Tuyuhun's entry into the court and some court affairs, and then instructed the ministers to return to the province to deploy the division.

When the ministers got up and saluted and withdrew from the hall, they heard the emperor say again: "The king of Xianyang will stay for a while, and I have one or two brothers to tell you from the bottom of my heart." ”

When the people who were about to go out heard the emperor's words, they paused, glanced at King Xianyang, and then walked out. Xianyang Wang Xi watched Li Chong and the others go out of the palace, his heart tightened, knowing that the emperor was going to reprimand him in private, and he also understood that Jun Qianzhao was very disappointed in himself today, so he couldn't help wiping the sweat stains on his forehead under nervousness, and turned around and bowed to be responsible. I also hurriedly made a draft in my heart, and finally planned to admit my guilt first and then argue a little bit, according to past experience, maybe there would not be any big deal.

The emperor did not look at King Xianyang, but opened the sparse chapter and continued to read for a while, and wrote down his comments on some things that could be dealt with now. He planned to dry the King of Xianyang for a while, thinking that if the King of Xianyang knew that he would repent and introspect, he would ask for his own guilt, and he didn't need to speak first.

After waiting for a while, Shuzhang looked at several copies, and King Xianyang still stood a few steps in front of him and bowed still, without taking the initiative to ask for guilt, and his heart was slightly annoyed. I looked up at the King of Xianyang, and found that the King of Xianyang seemed to be flying out of the sky at the moment, put the brush in his hand on the pen stand, closed the chapter and threw it on the side of the case, stood up and walked outside the hall, and said as he walked: "King Xianyang will come with me." ”

King Xianyang was awakened by the emperor's action of getting up, and watched the emperor walk out of the point quickly, followed by Zhang Mao, the governor of the inner bank, and hurriedly followed the emperor.

At this time, the time has passed in the middle of the hour, and after more than an hour of sunshine, it is already warmer outside. The emperor walked out of the hall, raised his head and squinted at the Baitai and Yongning Temple Towers on Yingzhou Island in the Tianyuan Pond for a few moments, and after his eyes adjusted to the daylight, he turned around and walked towards the Taihua Palace. Zhang Mao and King Xianyang, who were behind him, hurriedly followed together.

Although the emperor planned to talk to King Xianyang about his dereliction of duty during his tenure and discipline him again, he didn't want to embarrass King Xianyang in front of others, so he told Zhang Mao to go to Taihua Hall first and not have to serve here.

King Xianyang looked at Zhang Mao, who had walked away, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, followed behind the emperor, waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor walked slowly towards the Taihua Hall and said, "Brother Huang, do you still remember the collapse of the emperor in the past? ”

"The minister remembers it in his heart, and he does not dare or forget."

"The first emperor's heart was to Xuandao, and he often had the thought of leaving the world in the past, so Zen was located as a brother and moved to the Sogo Palace in Beiyuan for several years."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at the Taihua Hall in the distance, and the memory in his mind returned to June 6, fourteen years ago.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Miao Niang, why is it so noisy outside, I can't sleep" The little emperor turned over from the bed, walked to the small bed on the other side, pulled the sleeve of the little aunt Feng Miaolian and said, "Let's go out and have a look?" Is there a hundred plays? Why didn't your mother say that? ”

Xiao Miaolian rubbed her eyes with one hand and asked, "What's the matter, I really want to sleep, Your Majesty, go play by yourself, I'm so tired!" He closed his eyes again.

The little emperor was about to pull her up, but your mother came quickly, hugged the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't make trouble, play in the palace obediently, the queen mother will come to see you later!" As he spoke, he hugged the emperor and kept coaxing.

The little emperor kept twisting his body, but your mother hugged him tightly, the little emperor couldn't break free, listening to the sound of rushing and killing outside, looking at the red fire and the cry in the distance outside the window, it didn't calm down until late at night. The little emperor also seemed to feel that something big seemed to have happened, and slowly leaned on your mother and stopped talking.

A few days later, the Empress Dowager came to the little emperor's bedroom in mourning clothes and hugged him and wept bitterly, telling him that the emperor had died.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"At the beginning of the death of the first emperor, you and my brother were mostly deposed by the villain in the queen mother, and a few moves. Have you forgotten all these years of hardship? ”

"Your Majesty and your ministers have suffered many hardships, even if you are a king, the king's noble can not avoid disasters, fortunately the first emperor Weiling, Your Majesty can be in charge of the world, and our brothers can sleep peacefully." King Xianyang wiped away tears as he spoke.

"Since you know these pasts, you should know the word cherishing blessings." The emperor stopped, turned to look at King Xianyang, and said.

"I have four out of twenty this year, and I have been running the world for nineteen years, but in fact it has only been five years, although the Queen Mother is gone, there are still many old Feng families, you are my eldest brother, this is the time for you to serve, how can you still not ask about the world as before."

"I have a sixth brother, you are the elder, you should have come to the court to help me manage the government, but I think of Jizhou, and I can't pay attention to Wang Zhenzhi, so I sent you to Xindu, I expected you to be more diligent, and then transfer you back to Pingcheng when your talent and virtue are complete."

The emperor turned around and continued to walk towards the Taihua Palace: "If you don't play it right today, the whole city will know in a few days, so how can I emphasize your return to Beijing regardless of public opinion." ”

King Xianyang didn't expect the emperor to have the idea of letting him assist the government, his heart was quite shocked, he has been in Jizhou all these years, although it is said that the emperor is far away, and he is free and easy in Jizhou, but the prosperity of Pingcheng is not comparable to the letter, and he sometimes wants to return to Pingcheng. What's more, now that the Queen Mother has died again, it is not as good as before, staying in Pingcheng and staying by the emperor's side, this kind of convenience is not far away in Jizhou, and I feel sad when I think of this.

"The younger brother is ignorant, he doesn't know His Majesty's deep meaning, and he is guilty of a capital crime. In the future, I will reflect on myself, so as not to disgrace Your Majesty's brother," after speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The emperor turned around and helped the king of Xianyang and said: "It's good that you can understand my intentions, and you will continue to seek new things every day in the future, and don't live up to my high hopes." Patted his arm: "Reluctant to be reluctant!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand to indicate that he could go.

What the emperor just said about calling him back to Pingcheng is both true and false. When he first walked out of the hall, he originally planned to reprimand him severely, but after thinking about it, he thought about it and considered that he might bow his head in front of him, and then relapse into his old ways, so it was better to use good words to motivate him. Of course, the good words are nothing more than the promotion and the addition of the knight, the king of Xianyang himself is the king, and there is nothing to add, but his official is only the history of Jizhou Thorn, and there is still a lot of room for promotion, it is better to use the prospect of promotion to motivate him, this is a lie. The truth is that the emperor does have plans to let his brother assist the government step by step, the queen mother has been running the country for more than ten years, and he is only gradually pro-government after ten years of Taihe, and the country's major policies have to be reported to the queen mother from time to time, although the queen mother is now dead, but her legacy is still there, although I haven't heard of any ideas that shouldn't have, but the centralization psychology is the moment every emperor ascends the throne begins to germinate. The Queen Mother is gone, and her time has passed. After that, it will be his time. If you want to grasp the political power, you can't help but hold the critical power in your hands, and most of the people in the DPRK and China are foreign surnames and distant clans, and now it seems that they are still relying on their own brothers, because today without him, tomorrow there will be no these brothers, to a certain extent, he and these brothers are one, so he also has the idea of speeding up the official power of his younger brothers, but these are still cases for the time being, and he has not yet talked about it to others.

Revealing these thoughts to the eldest brother today is also to let him prepare himself first, not to ask him to grow much, at least not to be caught by others in the future.
