Chapter 0575 - Live Up to the Commons
In the afternoon, the chief officials of the Zhongshu, the Privy Council, the Sixth Ministry, and the Xuanhui Yuan, who had been slipping away one by one for these days, seemed to have made an appointment, and suddenly all of them set out, surrounded by chariots and horses, and gathered from all over the streets and alleys of the inner and outer cities to the royal street, and rushed to their respective offices to resume their work.

And one of them, a shabby and shabby donkey cart, creaked along the side of the street and went in the opposite direction. The old coachman, wearing a small hat and looking like a domestic servant, was behind him the curtain of the carriage was gray and blue, completely shabby and faded, and the wind shook with it, and from time to time there was an old cough from inside. The donkey cart turned into Bianhe Street at Zhou Bridge, and then entered Bianhe South Street at Xiangguosi Bridge, and slowly stopped in front of the gorgeous Qin Mansion.
"Alang! This is it, yes! The coachman jumped out of the rut, lifted the curtain and stretched out his hand.
A pair of wrinkled hands stretched out from the carriage, trembling to the ground with the support of the coachman. This old man was dressed in a coarse cloth round-necked green robe, looking old, but his face looked like he was only fifty or sixty years old, and he was the former Sikong, the right servant of Shangshu, the servant of the door, the scholar of Jixian Palace, the supervisor of national history, and the former three envoys Li Gu.
Seeing that his old master was standing firm, the old servant hurriedly took down an ebony dove cane from the car and handed it to the old master, so he took out a name sticker from his arms, stepped forward to call the door, and asked the porter to hand the name sticker in.
After a while, there were bursts of footsteps in the front yard of the Qin Gong's mansion, and then the door of the mansion was opened, and two hundred soldiers strode out with the flag and flag of the great Situ of the dynasty, and lined up on both sides of the gate to greet each other, bowing and saluting.
"Is it okay to be a princess? The younger generation has been back in Beijing for a long time, but I forgot to visit the house, but I taught you to come to the door in person, I really don't want to go! Zhang Yue appeared at the door of the mansion in a moon-white round-necked robe, and looked at it from a distance, and was stunned in his heart, as if he hadn't seen Li Gu for more than a year.
Recalling that in the second year of Guangshun under Tangzhou, Keyue Prefecture saw Li Gu for the first time when he returned, at that time he was in his prime, in charge of the subordinate phase, and also in charge of the three divisions of finance and taxation, and the counselor of military affairs.
"Don't come to these false words, you say...... Did the old man missee you back then? Li Gu looked at Zhang Yue with burning eyes, obviously tall and empty, wearing a coarse cloth robe on his body, but he looked as steady as a mountain, with an awe-inspiring face.
"Why did Prime Minister Zhen say this, this is not the place to speak, you always come in!" Zhang Yue stepped forward to support Li Gu's arm, the old man glanced at him coldly, but he didn't refuse, he helped him all the way through the front door and the middle door, and sat down in the middle hall.
Qingzhu in the back house took a few maidservants to bring out tea and snacks in a timely manner, and Zhang Yue personally poured the tea and served it respectfully with both hands. The old man took the teacup and nodded slightly, his face softened a little, he took a sip and put down the teacup, and then said: "Now that you have come to this step, what do you want to do?" ”
"There is a way that is a bystander, but Zhen Xianggong is also an understanding person, and the younger generation is only twenty-six years old this year, and he also has a very good opinion on the way of today's world, so he can't just waste it, right? Not to mention whether you can enter the prime minister, even if you are in charge of the country, what can you really do? Zhang Yue said openly and honestly, this matter is like this, how can it be whitewashed.
"The old man is also watching the major events of the government and the opposition in the past few years, especially recently, what do you say you have done? Great rebellion! Taizu treats you like a son and nephew, how long has it been since the first emperor died? You do it so peacefully, how can you bear it? Of course, Li Gu understands the truth of these things, but in this era, everything is about human feelings, not to mention the issues of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.
"Seriously compared, the younger generation thinks that he does not live up to Emperor Taizu, and as for the first emperor, he never owes him! Before the three expeditions to Huainan, the younger generation served as the colonel of the forbidden army, and he wanted to reorganize the army, but he couldn't, the first emperor seemed to be delegating power, but he was always staring at the back, what could the younger generation do. Emperor Taizu can be established as his heir, why can't he choose the elder as the prince, if it weren't for the younger generation to remove a few nails from the guard, the child can still enjoy it? Zhang Yue replied helplessly.
"That's it! Don't talk about this! In the morning, Wang Wenbo went to Fan Wensu's house, and the old man rushed to the house when he heard about it, and more than a dozen people crowded together to argue all morning, and the words were full of grievances and sighs, you want to go to Kansai, but who will draft this edict? If something unexpected happens in the future, who will bear this infamy? Li Gu said in a sad voice.
"But Zhen Xianggong is an elder, why is he so unclear? Why do you necessarily think that the person who is proposing the edict will recite the name of the edict instead of the name of the legend? Zhang Yue asked quite confidently.
"People go to tea cool! You can still swear frankly now, but who can guarantee what will happen in the future, and the old man doesn't know if he will be able to see it that day. Anyway, the old man has also been negligent for several years, and he was half buried by the loess, so he just informed you that the edict was drafted for you in public! I hope that he will not forget his original intention and remember today's words! ”
Li Gu said, his voice raised, and by the last two sentences, he was already full of voice, but thinking of the kindness of the two generations of emperors, his eyes were red under shame, and a few tears flowed down. Although people are old, they are becoming more and more wise and capable of making such decisions against public opinion, which shows how deeply Li Gu has suffered in his heart.
"Only cherish the princess!" Zhang Yue was stunned, feeling that his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say a word, and he saw the old man struggling on his back slightly, staggering away with a dove cane, and suddenly felt that the heavy responsibility on his shoulders was like Mount Tai.
"When the world is clear, the Haiyan River is clear, and the country and the people are safe, the younger generations will come to the Xianggong Soul to comfort him, and Zhang will live up to the world! Live up to it! Let's watch! When he came to his senses and chased out of the mansion, Li Guzheng slowly bowed down and got into the donkey cart, and then closed the gray curtain of the small door of the carriage, and without even looking back, the car creaked away and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
Zhang Yue stood in front of the door for a long time, since Li Gu had prepared an edict for himself, then tomorrow morning the dynasty would definitely announce it, remembering that there were still many things to prepare for recently, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, turned around, and saw his wife Fu Jinqiong standing not far behind him, Xu heard what he said just now, and his face was solemn and depressed.
"Husband! Our peaceful days are over again, aren't they? When will I be able to come back? "I don't know how many times I have parted with sadness, Fu Jinqiong has matured in such a lonely home, and has borne too much loneliness, but at this time there are not too many words, because they are in each other's hearts, and they all understand each other's intentions.
"Maybe soon! Maybe for a long time! So far, I don't owe anyone in this world, only too many lonely nights to you, and I owe the children their daily expectations! And these may not be compensated for in this life! Zhang Yue said and shook Fu Jinqiong's hand, and the husband and wife walked silently towards the back house.
