Chapter 754: The Prince
"What does Shen Aiqing think about the battle for the country?"
Shen Shuwen, who was suddenly named to answer the question, was 100 million points confused.
It's like returning to the class of Taixue, when I first arrived, I didn't know everything, and I was suddenly named by the master.
He took a deep breath and said cautiously, "Your Majesty...... Childe, I don't think so. β
Emperor Xiao Chengwen seemed to smile, "How can you not have an opinion." Even the rural villagers can say a few words, you are a student who is too scholarly, and you are full of poetry and books, you must have your own position. Even if you say it, you will not be held accountable after the fact. β
Shen Shuwen showed a wry smile.
It felt like someone was roasting it on a fire, and it was about to be cooked.
He bowed slightly and whispered, "Weichen naturally supports Your Majesty. As the student below said, His Majesty is the heir of the first emperor, and his name is right, and he is the orthodoxy of Great Wei! Your Majesty is the foundation of the country! β
Emperor Xiao Chengwen nodded with a smile and was noncommittal.
"Master Cui, what has he been busy with lately?"
"Master Cui is busy writing a book, and wants to compile the articles of these years into a book to give some inspiration to future generations."
"He's so laid-back, it's really enviable."
Master Choi Zhi Cui, since he retired from the army, handed over his military power and refused to enter the court.
Resolutely go home and continue to live his retirement life.
The court is an eventful time, he is scheming, and he will definitely not enter the court as cannon fodder at this time, let alone be a pioneer.
It's better to go home to retire, tease your grandchildren, and write books in your spare time, isn't it fragrant?
"You say, how many people really care about the kindness of the first emperor and really want to take the three county kings back to Jianzhou?"
Emperor Xiao Chengwen seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking.
Nearest the king nearest the gallows!
Shen Shuwen was trembling at the moment, he didn't dare to answer this question.
But it's not appropriate not to say something.
He pondered and said, "Maybe there are so many people! β
Emperor Xiao Chengwen smiled, "Are there only a few people?" Shen Shuwen, Shen Shuwen, others say that you are a gentleman, and you have one thing to say, looking at you today, you are like a cowardly officialdom oilman, and no one can be offended. You are the son-in-law of the Cui family, what are you afraid of? β
Shen Shuwen smiled bitterly again and again, and said frankly: "I'm afraid of gossip, I'm afraid of being excluded by my colleagues, I'm afraid of taking responsibility, and I'm afraid of becoming an unlucky guy who will be thrown out to blame when something happens." β
This seems to be true, but in fact it is only a half-truth.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen smiled happily, "You are the son-in-law of the Cui family, even if something happens one day, it will not be your turn to come out and take the blame." It can be seen that years of officialdom experience have made you lose your sincerity, lose your edges and corners, and become sleek. β
What can Shen Shuwen do?
He could only bow down and plead guilty, "Childe taught me a lesson!" β
Of course, it's not your fault either. With such an environment, it is very difficult to maintain a sincere heart. You don't have to be nervous, no one asks for guilt. This time, the imperial court must strictly control the selection of scholars and select a group of students who are sincerely loyal to the imperial court. Would you like to go on an errand in the Ministry of Rites? β
Shen Shuwen was first surprised, and then rejoiced.
Of course he was willing to go to the Ministry of Rites.
I never thought that good things would fall from the sky.
He bowed down, "It's all up to the son's orders!" β
"Very good! When I arrived at the Ministry of Rites, I worked hard to do a good job of this Spring Festival. β
"No! Don't dare to disappoint my son, I will definitely work hard to be an errand and take a soldier for the court. β
β¦β¦
Quietly returning to the palace and changing clothes, Emperor Xiao Chengwen went to the harem, intending to have dinner with Empress Yan Yunqi.
A day away from home puts him in a good mood.
I was prepared for the illness, and I was not so disappointed when I learned the results of the examination.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Xiao Yan, the eldest prince and the only prince, stepped forward and bowed.
"The son of the emperor greets his father!"
A child with a big fart, saluting and greeting, looking at each other, like a little adult.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen had a smile in his eyes, took the child's hand, and walked towards the main hall, "What about your mother?" β
"The queen mother tends to the flowers and plants in the small garden at the back."
"Where's your sister?"
"My sister is out of the palace today, going to attend the banquet of her friends, calculate the time, it's almost time to come back."
"Have you studied well today?"
"Yes. Can the father inspect his son's homework? β
"So confident?" Emperor Xiao Chengwen laughed, took a random text, and asked him to recite it.
The prince Xiao Yan opened his mouth and began to recite, without the slightest pause and knotting halfway, an article of several hundred words was written in one go, and it was frustrated in a low tone, which shows that he has worked hard.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen was very satisfied, touched his head, and encouraged: "Very good!" β
The prince Xiao Yan smiled secretly, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and narrowed into a slit.
At this moment, he revealed the innocence and simplicity that should have been at this age.
There is no need for external materials, just a word of encouragement and affirmation from his father can make him happy for several days.
The father and son came to the backyard of the Dafu Palace, and the originally bare courtyard was opened up into a flower field and vegetable field by Queen Yan Yunqi.
This time, she is tending to the flowers.
Seeing the arrival of the father and son, he directly gave a small shovel to the emperor and told him to loosen the soil.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen: "......"
He was holding the shovel and was visibly stunned. Then he shook his head helplessly, bent down, and loosened the soil with the queen.
"It's getting dark, and you're busy loosening the soil. What are you doing during the day? β
"I took a nap, and when I woke up, it was already late. What was originally planned to be done today will be done even if the hour is late. β
"Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, but you can sleep."
Queen Yan Yunqi pursed her lips and smiled, "Being able to eat and sleep is also a blessing." I heard from the palace people that your appetite seems to have decreased recently, is it unappetizing? β
Emperor Xiao Chengwen denied, "Due to the weather, as soon as the spring season begins, my appetite is not very good." This was also the case in previous years. β
She stopped what she was doing and looked at the other person, "Why don't you make some appetizers?" You seem to have lost some weight lately. β
She was anxious in her heart, but she didn't show the slightest hint.
Even the concern seems to be understated and does not add any burden to the person.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen shook his head, "You don't have to make appetizers, I like lighter meals." β
She laughed, "Your tastes haven't changed at all over the years. β
"yes!"
The prince Xiao Yan suddenly said, "Queen Mother, my son is very good at eating." I'm going to eat meat at night! β
She laughed, "There's a dish of sauce and meat at night, do you like it?" β
"I like it!" After speaking, the prince Xiao Yan carried a small bucket of farts to fetch water.
Looking at the child's distant back, Emperor Xiao Chengwen was extremely satisfied.
He said to her: "I have time to talk to the child about what happened in the court, after all, he is a prince, and the content of what should be studied cannot be relaxed at all." β
Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, the small shovel in her hand fell directly to the ground.
He looked at her with an inquiring gaze.
She smiled awkwardly, hiding her panic and nervousness.
She took a deep breath, picked up the small shovel, pretended to be nothing, and asked softly, "What did the doctor say?" Is the situation serious? β
He smiled and took her hand, "I will arrange everything so that you and the child will not be wronged. β
She looked at him blankly, her eyes red, "If you have three longs and two shorts, how can the child and I not be wronged." The struggle between the country and the capital is becoming more and more intense, and if it continues like this, sooner or later chaos will arise. You tell me the truth, what did the doctor say? β
He behaved very relaxed, raised his hand, and stroked her cheek, "It's all a clichΓ©, a congenital deficiency, and a limited lifespan." β
"I could suppress the condition before, but now I can! Isn't the method used before now using? She was terrified.
He whispered, "You don't understand! You should think that the previous method is useless. Don't panic, I still have a few more years to arrange everything. β
Queen Yan Yunqi's face was sad and she smiled desolately, "Is there really no way?" β
He said lightly: "Everyone is destined to live for a few days." β
She looked up at the sky to stop the tears from falling.
"If I had known this, if I had refused to inherit the throne at the beginning, would it have been a different situation, and there would have been more time?"
"Don't be cranky! If I didn't inherit the throne, the Great Wei Jiangshan would have already fallen, so how could I be in a different situation. β
A sigh!
At this moment, she could only sigh.
She asked again, "Is there really no way?" β
He hugged her into his arms, "Don't be cranky! β
She buried her head in his arms, how could she not be cranky.
My heart was so anxious that my heart and lungs were burning repeatedly.
"The child is still so young, he doesn't understand it, and he won't even have any memory of what is happening in the moment when he grows up. At such a young age, facing such a heavy burden, I didn't dare to think deeply. The Controversy ...... the Nation"
"I will solve the dispute between the country and the country, and clear all obstacles for you and your children."
She jerked her head up, worried, "Don't mess around!" β
"I never mess around! You have to have a little more faith in me. β
She opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak.
At this time......
The prince Xiao Yan carried a small bucket and ran back.
The emperor and queen hurriedly separated.
The main reason is that Empress Yan Yunqi pushed away Emperor Xiao Chengwen, and she couldn't let the child see this scene, so she was embarrassed.
She turned her back, secretly wiped the corners of her eyes, and after making sure that there was no problem, she smiled and greeted the prince.
A compliment made the prince Xiao Yan's heart bloom, and he became more and more energetic in his work.
"Father, queen mother, wait a minute, and the son will go and bring another bucket of water."
"Good boy!"
What a sensible child!
Thinking of the child's young age, he had to bear the pressure of Mount Tai's top, and Yan Yunqi's heart was about to break.
She asked again, "Is there really no way?" Tell me, how much time is left. β
"If you meditate and recuperate, away from the court, maybe there will be seven or eight years. At present, it is estimated that it will only be two or three years. β
He was calm.
When talking about life and death, it seems to be talking about other people's situations.
She bit her lip tightly, knowing that she couldn't persuade her.
As soon as he is the emperor, he will fulfill the duties of the emperor.
Tell him to give up his duty to cultivate, he can't do it!
She looked at him and her heart was broken.
