253 Soldiers riding out of the Xiao Wall (4)
It's time to beat it!
"Hehe," a smile appeared on Zhu Cihong's face, "Do you think Liu Laosi dares to be presumptuous in front of me?" ”
"That's ......"
"That's because those who know the times are handsome, and they can't observe the wind and colors, so they will inevitably bring humiliation on themselves." Zhu Cihong's face sank and said, "Liu Ruoyu, how do you treat you alone?" ”
Liu Ruoyu was shocked, knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and when he looked up again, he was already in tears: "The thousand-year-old lord recreated the old slave with kindness, even if the sun and the moon shine on it, it is nothing more than that." ”
"If you know, it's good." Zhu Cihong knew that the drum did not need a heavy hammer, and the beating was already in place today, so he walked away.
For a person who wants to do great things, the most taboo should not be the small lack of character of his subordinates, but the disunity of allegiance.
Although Zhu Cihong rarely heard the word "allegiance" in his previous life, the phrase "responsible for so-and-so" was also popular in the workplace. Although the names of the two are different, the essence is the same, if it is more official, it is: unified thinking, clear goals, and firm beliefs.
Under the command of the East Palace, although they should be loyal to the emperor in name, being responsible for the East Palace is the most important point. All members of the East Palace system must take the East Palace as the core, implement the East Palace route, and unswervingly believe in the East Palace.
Compared with Liu Laosi and Zhu Jiajun's disrespect, You Shiwei's attitude will make Zhu Cihong even more unhappy.
"The old slave is distressed for His Highness!" Liu Ruoyu kowtowed heavily and hit the stone steps with a thudding sound.
Zhu Cihong spit out the exhaust gas in his chest, and said to stop him: "Speak well." ”
"Your Royal Highness, the old slave knows that His Highness has been working all night for the foundation of his ancestors, and he is only bent on recovering the lost land and revitalizing the Ming Dynasty." Liu Ruoyu cried bitterly: "The old slave just thinks that His Royal Highness has done his best to the best of the monarchs and ministers. No one is more loyal to the Ming Dynasty than His Royal Highness, but he ignores the father and son. The ancestors first advocated family harmony and later generations, but they were afraid that father and son would lose each other!
"Those who understand, for His Highness's righteous act of sacrificing the small and protecting the big, it is certainly a matter of looking up to the deeds; Those who don't understand will slander His Highness for being unapproachable and unsympathetic! The old slave always thinks about this. My heart aches for His Highness. Your Highness, you are only sixteen years old, how can you afford the burden of discrediting the whole world! ”
Zhu Cihong exhaled heavily and said, "If you say that, you can be regarded as loyal." He paused, and then said: "I was born with this temper, and I don't care about it, but as a prince, I have to shoulder the responsibility of a prince." It is said that the Zhu family has raised Li Shu for 300 years, but in fact, the people of the world have raised my Zhu family for 300 years. If this throne is regarded as the great achievement of the world to reward the ancestors for the rebels, the Tartars, and the restoration of the Han family. Then this kindness should be enough. Now is the time when we should do things for the people of the world and die, how can we be lazy? ”
It was the first time Liu Ruoyu heard this kind of argument, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to answer, and he couldn't answer, so he had to kowtow again.
"That's what I thought," Zhu Cihong concluded, "Do you think that if you tell this to the imperial father and the imperial mother, can you untie the knot in their hearts?" ”
"Your Highness, you must not!" Liu Ruoyu was really scared this time. It's just a matter of saying it when no one is around. If it reaches the ears of the emperor and queen again, it will obviously force the emperor and queen to death!
"Isn't it appropriate? That's it. Zhu Cihong asked, "But there is one thing you mentioned since you mentioned human relations. I will also say one more thing: whether it is the guards of the East Palace, or the people under the rule of Limin, I regard them as my own brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts. When they enter my house, they are my family. Inside and outside this door, you should have a sense of proportion in your heart. ”
"The old slave understood." Liu Ruoyu stopped crying and said, "Your Highness, there is still something to report to Your Highness." ”
"Say."
"Princess Kunxing left Laizhou yesterday with three guards. Coming to Taeanju. Liu Ruoyu said: "The old slave has already spread the word to the pavilions along the way, so pay attention to protection." ”
"yes, got it." Zhu Cihong said: "The affairs of Dongchang must still be grasped, and spies must be eliminated. In other matters, Dongchang should not interfere. ”
"I understand." Liu Ruoyu responded.
"Alright. Let's get out. Zhu Cihong nodded and took a breath: "By the way, call Lu Suyao in." ”
Liu Ruoyu got up, bowed and walked backwards.
Lu Suyao's office was in the small courtyard opposite the door, and she had already heard the movement and secretly peeked through the window. She saw Liu Ruoyu kneeling and kowtowing, bursting into tears, and vaguely there were words such as "Renlun" and "Tianlun", guessing that she was talking about the disgrace of the two lieutenants a few days ago.
- This husband Liu is also old and confused, he has been with His Highness for so long, don't you know that His Highness is a person who doesn't talk about personal feelings? There's no reason to touch this nail.
Lu Suyao shook her head secretly, thinking of the humiliation she received in the restaurant that day, although she hated it so much, she could only endure it. Now is the time for His Highness to use troops, and those captains and generals are of course a head above others. Even when Emperor Taizu Gao founded the country, the status of Wuchen was much higher than that of Wenchen.
What's more, she is just a female official.
Female officials originally had only three paths. Lonely old people for life, go to large families as concubines, or marry poor people as wives. I have never heard of any female official or palace maid who has left the palace to live without being miserable and desolate. Now that the crown prince can be regarded as a minister, it is already a great grace, what else is there to complain about?
"Auntie, Your Highness summons you." The secretary outside the door knocked on the door and came in, and reported softly.
Lu Suyao nodded: "Got it." Oh, go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of chilled sour plum soup, add some white fungus, and bring it to His Highness. ”
- His Royal Highness must be upset by Husband Liu now.
Lu Suyao said secretly in her heart, cleaned up the desktop, took the notebook and walked to Zhu Cihong's office. When she entered the crown prince's office, she saw that the prince was already sitting behind the bookcase and was in a state of work, and she could only sigh with regret in her heart: she couldn't keep up with the prince's pace after all.
"Your Highness." Lu Suyao blessed her body.
"Xu Jiafu, who was originally scheduled to be summoned tomorrow, came to tonight in advance to give dinner." Zhu Cihong flipped through the itinerary on the table: "There is also this Xue Shuyan, who also mentioned that he will meet tonight." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Suyao quickly made changes in her notepad.
Zhu Cihong put down the pen in his hand and leaned back: "The queen mother, really sad?" ”
Lu Suyao then remembered that she was actually the person who was installed by the queen's mother, so she had to say cautiously: "The mother was suddenly offended by this, and it is very sad to think about it." ”
"You write a letter in my name to appease the queen mother." Zhu Cihong said: "What do the female officials think about marrying a general? ”
Lu Suyao immediately smiled and said, "I thank Your Highness for your benevolence!" It's just that some people are worried about losing their errands in the palace, and some are reluctant. ”
"Getting married is about making them work better." Zhu Cihong said: "The married female official will be given ten days of marriage leave, and after pregnancy, an additional five yuan of silver will be paid every month to raise the baby, and two months of paid maternity leave before and after childbirth, and you can take the child to work during the breastfeeding period, and do not arrange business trips and overtime." Okay, that's it, let's post. ”
The smile on Lu Suyao's face froze.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Highness...... Your great kindness, slaves and maids will never be repaid! Lu Suyao was deeply blessed and bowed down.
"Oh." Zhu Cihong waved his hand: "Go." ”
The physical and psychological peculiarities of women determine that they have a natural advantage over men when it comes to undertaking certain tasks. With such a group of educated and middle-aged laborers, how could Zhu Cihong not use them.
Moreover, this is also the first step for him to change customs, starting from female officials who obey his orders, gradually opening up the social atmosphere and encouraging more women to go out of the house and devote themselves to social production.
Lu Suyao is Zhu Cihong's full-time secretary, but the East Palace Yiying sigil is in Yao Tao's hands. This official document naturally had to be sent to Yao Tao for Ling Yin to distribute, and the content inside also surprised Yao Tao. Since Emperor Yingzong forbade the martyrdom of the concubine, I am afraid that only this crown prince treats women as human beings the most.
These two women who looked like each other were separated from each other, and even sat and drank together and chatted about the world.
"Your Highness, such a caring person who knows the warmth and cold, how can he be so indifferent to the saint. The affairs of the heavenly family are really still incomprehensible. Yao Tao took a sip of the wood slices and couldn't help but sigh.
"Who's to say it isn't. Today, His Royal Highness also asked me to draft a letter to comfort the queen. Alas, can this also be written by my slaves? Lu Suyao also echoed: "When His Royal Highness was in the palace, he was not so estranged from Niangniang." ”
"I heard the old man in the palace say," Yao Tao put down the teacup and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness has not seen a smile in ten years since he was born, except for crying when he was born, and he has never cried later." At that time, some people said that His Royal Highness was the stars in the sky and descended from the earth, which was different from ordinary people. ”
Lu Suyao kicked her leg lightly and said, "No wonder, I always feel that His Highness's smile is a little hard." However, he was really kind to those martial artists, and he was very generous. ”
Yao Tao got up and walked to his bookcase, took out an account book, looked through it, and said, "Why not be generous?" His Royal Highness's food and silver for the soldiers in the army exceeded the expenses of the palace. ”
Lu Suyao was stunned: "Really?" I think the food is much better than when I was in the palace. ”
"That's nature," Yao Tao said, "We all benefit, but those big mink people have the heart to cry to death." ”
"Hmph, those people, I don't know how to seize the opportunity to separate the family relationship between the crown prince and the emperor this time." Lu Suyao pouted.
Although the female officials in the palace were nominally an independent system, they were actually subject to the jurisdiction and suppression of the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies. Two hundred years of grievances have made female officials and palace maids have a lot of grievances against eunuchs, and they always don't forget to demean two sentences when they have the opportunity.
Yao Tao was naturally no exception, and scolded Lu Suyao's words. With a common enemy, the two immediately sympathized with each other, and there was no estrangement for a while, as if they had always been good sisters.
Until Lu Suyao accidentally said: "I don't know what to do with the crown princess." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a trench falling from the sky, lying between these two "good sisters". (To be continued......)
