Chapter 35: The Choice of the Taifu
At noon, Empress Lu slept in the hall for a while. In the afternoon, Lu Houfang read "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn" in his bedroom, "...... When the water spring is deep, the fish and turtles will return, the trees will be prosperous, the birds will return, the grass will be lush, and the heroes will return to it......"
Dai Qing came in from outside the door in a hurry, and she was still holding a 'message stick' made of hollow logs that could put things, which was the contact information between her and Yun He Xiuyue, and the news at this time was sent by Xiuyue.
She walked quickly to the queen's side, and saw that the queen was concentrating on reading "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", so it was not easy to disturb her, but the queen noticed her hurry and knew that something must have happened, so she rolled up "LΓΌ", put it aside, turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Dai Qing handed the 'message stick' to the queen, the queen carefully opened the stick, took out a silk brocade silk from it, she slowly rolled it up to see, only to see that it was written: Qi wants to find a prince for the king, and will not extinguish the heart of the prince, when the wine is not young, the emperor wants to let the king behave well.
The queen looked at the words on the brocade silk and trembled, squeezed the brocade silk tightly in her hand, the joints on the pinched fingers creaked, gritted her teeth, and there was endless hatred and anger in her eyes, she stood up from the couch with a swish.
"We'll see someday." The queen pounded her hand heavily on the cases next to her, shaking the scrolls on the cases, so frightened that Dai Qing didn't dare to say a word.
She slowly walked to the window with her hands hanging down to her chest, looking at the chrysanthemums in the courtyard outside the window weakly, she fell into trouble and melancholy, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little moist.
"Is that how you treat Liu Ying? Are you going to give Liu Ying's crown prince to Liu Ruyi after all? What you said would be good to Liu Ying, is that such a good method? Empress Lu was sad alone in front of the window, but her hands holding the carved railing felt wet, and the queen looked down and saw tears.
"You use the bow to make moves, and I'll see the moves." She raised her hand and wiped her tears strongly, straightened her waist and exhaled a long breath, completely missing the crying just now, it was completely a kind of firmness and fortitude.
Empress Lu walked back to Dai Qing's side, sighed, shook her head nervously, and smiled stupidly, but then she couldn't see her smile again.
Empress Lu showed Dai Qing the news, and after Dai Qing took it, he hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and he was also extremely angry. She finally understood why Empress Lu was so excited just now, Mrs. Qi had already taken action, she glanced at Empress Lu worriedly, read the news again, and quickly put it in the fire in the hall and burned it.
"Niangniang, what are you going to do?" After Dai Qing burned the brocade silk, he came to ask the queen what he meant.
Empress Lu looked straight ahead, and said calmly: "She will find a master for Liu Ruyi, then I will also find a master for the prince, the original prince and master Miyamoto Liang died, and he never looked for a master for him again, it seems that it is time, if you don't look for me again, I am afraid that the prince's studies will be barren." β
Dai Qing didn't understand what it meant, and looked at the queen with a puzzled expression. Empress Lu glanced at Dai Qing, who was waiting for her to answer, and then said, "She is looking for Taifu just to let Liu Ruyi learn things well, all the ministers know that Liu Ruyi doesn't like to study but likes to be naughty, how can such a person inherit the unification, she has to find Taifu to enrich his vision and knowledge, even if it is just to deal with it, he has to pass the banquet in October." β
Empress Lu pointed to the tea on the case, and motioned for Dai Qing to pour it for her to drink, Dai Qing understood the meaning and made her tea, and then handed it to her, "Be careful of burning, Niangniang." β
Empress Lu took the tea, lifted the lid and blew it gently, took another sip, and continued, "The prince is fourteen, except for the Taifu Miyamoto Liang three years ago, there has been no Taifu re-election until now, her trick has helped me a lot, she doesn't do this, I can't remember it." She is coping, then I have to find a good prince for the prince to teach him, and now it is no longer about ruling the world immediately, but governing the world under the horse, as a king, you must understand the history and literature of the ancestors, although it is not a Bo ancient and modern, but it must also be full of economy, although the emperor does not like Confucianism, but he understands that guarding the world and ruling the world is absolutely inseparable from the contribution of Confucianism, didn't he want Lu Jia to write something "Xinyu"? It seems that I have to find a good master, and I will surprise the emperor and Qi Yi when the time comes. β
Dai Qing listened to Empress Lu's words, since Empress Lu had already made a plan, and the plan was quite good, she nodded in agreement, but she thought again, who is Empress Lu going to find to be the prince? I don't know who Qi Yi is looking for to be the king's concubine, what if they are looking for the same person?
Dai Qing pondered and meditated, her fingers kept poking her chin, and the queen saw that she seemed to be thinking, so she patted her, "What do you think?" β
Dai Qing 'oh', came back to his senses and raised his eyes to ask Empress Lu, "Is there a suitable candidate in Niangniang's heart to be a Taifu?" β
This can be asked after Lu Hou, she only said that she also wanted to find Taifu, but she hadn't thought about who to do, she didn't know much about those ministers, but Zhang Liang had already been included in the list of candidates, as well as Prime Minister Xiao He, Lu Jia, Gao Qi, Wang Ling, as well as Qu Reverse Hou Chen Ping, Fengchang Shusun Tong, these people are all available people. I sifted through them one by one in my heart, but I couldn't make up my mind.
She frowned, her willow eyebrows were squeezed into figure-eight eyebrows, she bit her lower lip, thought, gulped down the tea, put the tea set on several tables, paced back and forth in the hall, and kept patting each other with her hands.
"At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, he attached great importance to military force and despised Confucianism, Lu Jia ruled the world with a horse to refute the emperor's immediate rule of the world, he suggested that the emperor attach importance to Confucianism, practice benevolence and righteousness, and the law is sage, and put forward the rule strategy of taking obedience and obedience, opposing the disadvantages of Qin and resting with the people, and using both civil and military affairs, so that the world of my Han family can flourish and develop, this person must be a great talent; The ovary followed the emperor to fight the world, Chu and Han fought for four years, during which the ovary continued to give advice to the emperor, so that it turned the crisis into safety, and finally made Xiang Yu defeated, the Han Dynasty opened the country, and it was indeed comparable to Jiang Ziya, who had been in Xingzhou for 800 years; Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is also erudite, generous and respectful; Although Chen Ping is sleek and versatile, he is invincible, but he also has the knowledge of warp and weft in his heart; Uncle Sun Tong is originally a doctor of Qin Guo, and I heard that this person is a scholar who is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and is an authentic Confucian student; Gao Qi is dignified and simple, and has a good understanding of the history of the pre-Qin period. There are so many candidates that I don't know how to choose. Lu Hou analyzed the candidates she had in her heart one by one, and felt that they were all knowledgeable and talented people, but she didn't know who to choose, so she shook her head sadly, sighed, and said to herself, 'Who should I choose'.
Although Dai Qing is a maid, she occasionally hears the emperor talk to the queen about some ministers, such as Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Shusun Tong, Han Xin, etc., but she also knows that Zhang Zifang is the most famous, he was the emperor's military advisor, and she felt that Taifu was none other than Zhang Liang. When Rear Lu couldn't make up her mind, she hurriedly stepped forward to analyze the queen, "Niangniang, why don't you choose to stay here?" Dai Qing heard that the Marquis of Liu's wisdom was extraordinary, full of experience, and was the emperor's military advisor during the Chu-Han War, and some time ago he applied for military law with the Marquis of Huaiyin, this person must be talented. β
Empress Lu felt that it made sense when she heard her say this, but after thinking about it again, it still didn't work, she shook her head, "Although the ovary is a good candidate, but after the emperor entered the customs, he allowed him not to ask about the government, and he also faded out of the political arena, and traveled with red pine nuts all day long, and the palace also felt that he did not want to participate too much in politics, if he was invited to go out of the mountain, he might not agree." β
Dai Qing stepped forward and persuaded, "If Niangniang is willing to go to Liuhou Mansion in person, I think Liuhou will sell Niangniang's face, and then you only need to explain the importance of being a Taifu to assist the prince, he will be willing to go out of the mountain, and we need such a wise man to be our assistant if we want to bring down Mrs. Qi, Mr. Zifang is quite respected by the emperor, with him, I think the prince will not be easily brought down by Mrs. Qi." Finally, he mysteriously approached Lu Hou's ear and said cautiously, "The ministers of the United Dynasty and the Central Government are plump with the prince's wings." β
Empress Lu nodded in agreement, as for the ovary, although she was a little unsure, it was a good choice after all, and she didn't go to Liuhou Mansion to see him for some time. In the past, the emperor and the prime minister went to the Liuhou Mansion, and then there were too many things in the court and the central government, so they gradually disappeared. Lu Houqing cleared his throat, "Okay, I have time to accompany the palace to Liuhou Mansion, I haven't seen the ovary for a long time, so I should go and see him." β
