Chapter 30: What is Josu
Rong Guifei sent Zhuzhi to the Lingque Palace to report to the sixth son's companion, and as soon as Zhuzhi knocked on the door to explain his intentions, he said apologetically, "The saint just left, it seems that he went to the direction of the Chengtian Palace, and I look very bad." ”
The two talked for a long time before Takezhi went back.
Rong Guifei heard that the saint had gone to the Chengtian Temple, thought for a while, and said, "You go and ask where the dinner is."
Xia Yuan saw the bamboo branch and said, "Don't go in and touch the moldy head, the saint has an atmosphere today, and it is a matter of Dingjiangyan." ”
Zhuzhi said, "Thank you for your advice, I'll go back to Niangniang." ”
Chen Nanxing Zulu and the two knelt on the ground and were silent for half an hour, seeing that the saint was about to be angry again, Chen Nanxing straightened up and said frankly, "Go to Suichen and Zu to go to Huaishui to investigate, it has been Chen Ming It is not feasible to repair the dam, the Huaishui silty sand particles are light, the foundation is unstable, and it is not suitable for dam repair, and a repair will be washed away by Huaishui. The minister thought that it was necessary to stop immediately to prevent further losses. Wangbu's idea is good, the dam floods Yunzhou, and all the Huaishui is occupied once and for all, but the implementation is tantamount to ascending to the sky. ”
Xiao Yue said coldly, "I have been fighting a tug-of-war with the Northern Dynasties for many years, and I can't beat Yunzhou for many years, and once the Northern Dynasties army passes through the ten states along the Huaishui River, it will not be guaranteed, and then it will drive straight into Jiangling!" There are 50,000 soldiers in Dingzhou, and only 10,000 in Yunzhou! Do you know how much money and how many men I invest in the Dingzhou army every year? The silver invested in these years is enough to build ten Dingjiangyan! I ask you, how did Emperor Qin build the Great Wall to reach the Xiongnu? You can't build a small dam! ”
Xiao Yue saw that Chen Nanxing was silent, and the more angry he became, he could only be patient, "The dam must be repaired." I only ask you two, how do you get together? ”
Chen Nanxing said, "There is nothing to be done." ”
Zu Lu also said, "It's really difficult. ”
Xiao Yue laughed angrily, "Okay, Chen Nanxing, I don't want to be the Minister of Water Resources anymore!" ”
After saying that, a paperweight smashed Chen Nanxing's head, Chen Nanxing's forehead suddenly flowed blood, and he still stood still, only put down the wat board and kowtowed, "The minister is incompetent, Your Majesty is angry." ”
"Get out!"
Chen Nanxing got up and fainted, almost falling, but Zu Lu, the deputy minister next to him, hurriedly helped him out and didn't mention it.
The two of them went out, and Zu Lu scolded, "Wang Bu is shameless! The Northern Dynasty can't stay anymore, and the Southern Dynasty will harm people! What is the Dingjiangyan repaired on the sage, the Huai River has been flooding year after year, and Dayu is still using sparse water control, how to repair it! Every time the embankment bursts, we are the first to flood! Look at how many people are now without food and shelter! Wangbu kid is too hateful! ”
Chen Nanxing stopped him, "It's useless to talk too much, the saint is determined to repair the dam." Fortunately, now that I have discharged this errand, whoever likes to do it, will do it. ”
Zu Lu said, "Since the Holy Lord has decided to join forces with the Northern Dynasty, and the Northern Dynasty has also responded to the alliance, the North will not be the first, if you rush to repair the dam?" ”
Chen Nanxing covered his forehead, "I'm afraid that there will be another change." Besides, Yunzhou was originally the lost territory of our Southern Dynasty, and there was no possibility of recovering it after the agreement. Wouldn't it be better to recover first and then agree? The recovery of Yunzhou means that you can drive straight into the hinterland of the Northern Dynasties, you know, the previous dynasty is General Xiao to collect Yunzhou, General Xiao is the right time and place, and the second is indeed brave and strategic, so he can recover for the first time in 60 years, instinctively take the opportunity to destroy Yan in one fell swoop, who knows that he died unjustly, and my Southern Dynasty also lost the opportunity to recover the Central Plains and unify Kyushu. General Xiao's Yunzhou, which was defeated with his life, fell into the hands of the Northern Dynasty again, and he couldn't complain that the saint had been haunted for many years. Yunzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and flooding is indeed a good way, but unfortunately it doesn't work. ”
Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly came to stop Chen Nanxing's bleeding and bandage, and Zu Lu hurriedly thanked him, "There must be Imperial Physician Lao again." ”
Chen Nanxing said with a smile, "From now on, you don't have to be smashed by Your Majesty." I think Your Majesty's sandalwood paperweight is very good, because I have smashed two, and I am very guilty. ”
Zu Lu also smiled, "I'd rather Your Majesty smash me than avoid the pain of your flesh." ”
Imperial Physician Wang smiled rarely, "The two adults are thinking about it." It has been bandaged, and the dressing must be changed every day when I go back. ”
The two thanked each other and left without mentioning it.
This Wang Bu into the palace, until late Chen Nanxing only knew that he was still the Minister of Water Resources, the Holy Shang mentioned Wang Bu as a water conservancy envoy, specifically responsible for repairing the river weir, Wang Bu Jin Yan dam was washed away is caused by the dragon riding the wind and rain, Jiaolong is afraid of iron, with iron to suppress, so ask the Holy Shang to approve 10,000 taels of pig iron into Huaishui.
Emperor Quasi
Chen Nanxing listened to the report of his subordinates and sighed.
This Xiao Yue sat in the Chengtian Palace, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Call the prince!"
Xia Yuan hurriedly sent someone to the East Palace, Xiao Junzhi was reading in Guanghua Palace, listening to his father's summons, he was stunned, looked at the clothes and clothes, and then got up and went to Chengtian Hall with the inner eunuch.
When Xiao Junzhi came in, Xiao Yue was approving, and he didn't raise his head when the prince came in, and after a while, he threw down the pen, pinched his wrist and moved, leaning on the chair, he looked at the young man in front of him who was about to be taller than himself, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "Prince, what is a gentleman?" ”
Xiao Junzhi stood with his hands down, listened to his father's question, thought for a while, and said, "Those who are kings are taken from the sky." The king who is ordained, given by the will of heaven, so he is called the Son of Heaven, and he should regard the sky as his father, and his father is filial piety. ”
Xiao Yue asked again, "What is the way to be a king?" ”
Xiao Junzhi pondered for a while and replied, "The way to be a king begins with determination." If you don't have a will, you can't do it. The so-called Zhi also, up and the sky, down to the earth, the spirit and soul of the universe, the combination of rigidity and softness, crossing all beings, leveling the world, Fang is the ambition. No ambition, no gentleman. If you have no ambition and are in the extreme, your family and country will be in trouble. The list goes on and on. ”
Xiao Yue supported himself with one hand and nodded, "I ask you, how do you make up your mind?" ”
Xiao Junzhi was a little surprised, his father had always asked him less about his homework, because he knew that he had been good at this since he was a child, and he suddenly asked him about this today. Xiao Junzhi thought for a while, "The ambition of a gentleman is also the measure of the people's compatriots, the business of the inner saint and the outer king, and then he is not ashamed of his parents, and he is worthy of being the perfect person of heaven and earth." ”
Xiao Yue sneered, "You know how to memorize poetry and books." If you don't internalize it in your heart and externalize it in your actions, it's just talk on paper after all! Living in a quiet town, living in the realm of immortals, not concentrating on reading, thinking all day long, how to be a king in the future! ”
Xiao Junzhi was no longer polite when he heard this, and he knelt down and listened quietly.
Xiao Yue said, "Tell me, what is Qiao Su?" ”
Xiao Junzhi's body was shocked, he was busy stabilizing his mind, trying to make himself look calmer, and said with difficulty, "From the high to the high, the idle of Nan Chu is Su." ”
Xiao Yue said coldly, "Collect firewood for wood, and mow grass for Su." The dignified prince actually yearns for a life of collecting firewood and cutting grass, which is ridiculous! ”
There's a saying.
Knowing the son is more than the father.
That will be in the Lingque Palace, he caught a glimpse of the fan in Xie Ruanning's hand, so he paid attention, and took a closer look, but it was not his own good son's painting style! He has a leisurely mood, painting a fan of Pomeranians, and he also painted a crab with ingenuity!
Xiao Junzhi knelt on the ground, still looking cold and self-controlled, not shocked. Seeing his good son's indifferent attitude, Xiao Yue was even more angry, "University, back!" ”
Xiao Junzhi saw that his father was furious, and he had no clue, as if he had a clue again, but he hadn't figured out why things had become like this, so he didn't want to think about it more, so he had to speak, "The ancient people who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you must first know it, and you will know it in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful. ”
Xiao Yue got up abruptly, "Kneel on your back!" ”
Xia Yuan followed closely, and glanced at the prince who was kneeling on the ground with his head hanging down in a panic, full of worry, today is the first time that the saint has been so angry with the prince, and it is clear that the prince is answering like a stream, why did he anger the saint? This saint left, and he didn't say when to let the prince go, it's quite tricky, can't you keep kneeling?
There was already news from here to Gantang Palace, and I heard that His Majesty was angry and the prince was punished, Rong Guifei was shocked, and the celadon tea cup fell to the ground and shattered.
