Chapter 158: Affectionate
No one has called her like this for a long time, and Empress Dowager Lin was stunned on the spot.
This title is too arrogant, she has not heard it for more than ten years.
"The minister knows what Niangniang is worried about, and the minister will not leave Niangniang with worries." After all, Yu Pu knew the title of transgression once. He held the tiger talisman in his hand and said with a wry smile, "At the beginning, there were five of us, and the minister was the youngest, and he followed the eldest brother when he was eleven or twelve years old. The minister's parents died early, and the eldest brother treated us as if we were his own brothers. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the mother is a sister-in-law first and then a sister-in-law. The minister was young, and when he was young, he was not less cared for by his mother and the first emperor. The first emperor knew the grace of the encounter so much, not to say that it was a tiger talisman for the ministers, but it was not an exaggeration to say that the ministers could repay them with their lives. ”
If you talk about trespassing, then he has also sat on the shoulders of Emperor Longwu. When the five brothers chased the wine to the Central Plains, how high-spirited they were, how could they have imagined that there would be today? The five brothers at the beginning, who died and left, were left with a Yu family who was desperate and worried about the future, and a Lin family who was protected by the Empress Dowager Lin under her wings.
"The eldest brother told the minister that he wanted the minister to guard the pass in the northwest of Daheng, and he didn't want the Tartars to come to my Central Plains again, so that he was worthy of the title of 'Pingshuo' of the minister." Yu Pu raised his eyebrows and smiled, the appearance of his youth was vivid, and his eyes were the same as those of the young man at the beginning, "The first emperor said to his ministers that the people of Daheng are their own people, and they should be protected on the tip of their hearts." At the beginning, the minister was still young, and he promised to come down, and he went to the pass to know how difficult it was, but because of the entrustment of the first emperor, he gritted his teeth and held on. For so many years, in Jiayuguan, because of the Tianwei of Daheng, the Tartars in the north did not dare to go south. The ministers looked at the people who cultivated the land and did business, not to mention how prosperous they were, but stability could finally be guaranteed. The minister finally understood the words of the first emperor, as a military general, he can keep the peace of one side, and it is really in vain in this life. ”
To be honest, only then can we see the difference between him and Yu Jingning. Yu Pu's face was born wonderfully, and his eyes were bright when he spoke, but Yu Jingning was a perseverance that had been honed in the capital for a long time. But the starlight in his eyes also dimmed little by little in this hall.
"The minister has guarded the country for the first emperor for more than ten years, and the minister's son is also called 'Jingning', and he was born to keep Daheng safe." If it was more than ten years ago, he would probably be excited and trembling when he spoke, but at this age, there would only be a coldness left in Gujing Bubo, "The sons of the ministers, the daughters of the ministers, all of them have fought for Daheng and guarded the country." Kechen will no longer be able to resist the cannon in Jiayuguan in the future, and he will live up to the instructions of the first emperor, and the minister will die. ”
When he said "ten thousand deaths", no one took the tiger talisman in his hand, so he couldn't kowtow, so he had to kneel upright: "The Yu family is not full of loyalty, and it is not worthy of the throne of Prince Daheng. ”
He knelt there, silent for a long time.
To be honest, the Yu family is really loyal. Look at the Yu family, even the daughters have been injured by Daheng's country. Look at Empress Dowager Lin's mother's family, her nephew let her father spoil her, let alone guard the country, it's good not to fight cocks and lackeys and cause trouble. is so favoritism, and he is not afraid of chilling the hearts of people all over the world! Who else will dare to work for the royal family in the future.
At this time, how dare anyone answer, especially Qiu Anren, if he says a wrong word, he will be framed for Zhongliang.
After a long time, someone finally moved.
A person got up from the chair, walked in front of Yu Pu in three steps and two steps, held his hand, held the tiger talisman firmly in Yu Pu's palm, and said, "Fifth uncle." ”
It turned out to be the little emperor He Xiao!
Everyone was stunned on the spot, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen out of the ordinary-this little cub has been a background board for eight or nine years, and now he suddenly spoke.
He Xiao smiled at Yu Pu, smiling very shallowly, with a little pure childishness: "Fifth uncle, you take the runes back, just go back to your fiefdom with peace of mind, and return to Jiayuguan." He said like a family banquet and swore like a child, "What the Yu family has done, my father remembers, and if my father doesn't remember, I will remember it for him." The Son of Heaven said that the fifth uncle can rest assured. ”
The child looked at Yu Pu and smiled childishly: "Fifth Uncle quickly take back the tiger talisman, although it is almost summer, it is cold to kneel on the ground, Fifth Uncle get up quickly." ”
The Son of Heaven helped Yu Pu up, of course he didn't dare to be hypocritical anymore, so he hurriedly got up. The one who knelt behind him also followed and accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't need to call his eyes, and immediately bowed three times and nine times, and shouted: "The emperor is sage!" ”
Even if this He Xiao is a teenage doll, it is also the son of Daheng. No matter how Empress Dowager Lin threw things with him in private, or was silent at the court meeting, she couldn't blatantly take back his words.
Just a few words are the holy decree and the dictation of the Son of Heaven!
What's more, the little emperor didn't handle it badly. If it continues like this, looking at the expressions of Yu Jingning, Tan Huaiju, and Chen Hui, the next thing that will happen in Wenyuan Pavilion today will probably be the killing of the military general, the Dongchang people, and the death of Wenchen.
After He Xiao gave his word, it didn't take long for the adults to go back.
It wasn't until he arrived at the frame of the Yu family that Yu Pu opened his mouth and said the first sentence to Yu Jingning: "The emperor's child...... Righteousness. It's just that he's too benevolent and righteous, and he doesn't have a backbone, so you should take good care of him in the future. ”
Yu Jingning naturally agreed.
Yu Pu lifted the curtain and looked out the window. The night was dark, the moon was nowhere to be seen, and a few stars were lonely, flickering in the sky, and were about to disappear. He sighed, shook his head and said, "Love is already thin, and it will be consumed casually." If it weren't for reasoning today, I wouldn't have interceded with them...... Use it once, and you will lose it. When you and the emperor are in this generation, you can be better when you are young, and when you are my age, it will really fade. ”
Yu Jingning didn't know what to say, so she had to say "um". Xindao, then let me take care of him more, they have already let go of this feeling, but you haven't let go.
Yu Pu seemed to see something, and smiled at his son: "Empress Dowager Lin is not our daughter, nor is she one of the new-style women with broad horizons, but a woman with long hair and short knowledge. If you don't take care of the emperor, what will Daheng do in the future? ”
Yu Jingning shrugged his eyebrows, lowered his head, and replied solemnly: "The child obeys his father's teachings." ”
