Chapter 260: The Prince
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
Bai Susu scolded nosy in his heart, but he had to step forward to explain.
She bowed to Emperor Cheng, "When the grass people play, they can't help but think of the appearance of our dynasty and the people, but the world knows that Your Majesty is wise, who understands Your Majesty's difficulty." ”
Her words were already a bit overstepping, and as soon as the words fell, the chamberlain beside Emperor Cheng stepped forward and scolded, "Bold, you actually talked nonsense in front of Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Cheng waved his hand to let the attendants on the side retreat, and then said, "You go on." ”
Bai Susu obeyed the order and continued, "I think that at the beginning of His Majesty's succession, the traitors in the palace were in charge and controlled the government, but His Majesty skillfully used counter-tricks to make them suspicious of each other, so he swept them away in one fell swoop. Needless to say, His Majesty is wise, the world praises His Majesty's wisdom, but no one thought that His Majesty was only the year of the weak crown, and the dangers and difficulties encountered by His Majesty are unimaginable to ordinary people, but His Majesty is not afraid of timidity, His Majesty knows how to make good use of people, and selects the best to be able, so that the people of our dynasty are rich and every family has surplus food. But over the years, who has cared about whether Your Majesty is hard and whether Your Majesty is not easy. Although the grass people are not officials in the court, they feel uncomfortable when they think of His Majesty's hard work for his subjects, and he forgets to sleep and eat. ”
When she said this, she suddenly knelt down, "The grass people wept at Your Majesty's birthday banquet and rushed to Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
After saying this, Bai Susu knelt quietly on the ground and stopped talking.
Emperor Cheng has been on the throne for more than 40 years, and it can be said that the commendable merit is the one that swept away the traitors back then, and then it has been muddy until now. Fortunately, the ministers of the court and the central government are loyal, and there are also capable generals in the border fortress to suppress them, so there has been no major chaos over the years, and the name of the year given to him by Emperor Cheng is also set as the word "built", and obtaining it means keeping it.
The imperial garden was very quiet for a while, Emperor Cheng didn't speak, no one dared to speak, Wang Dezi remembered Bai Susu's kindness to help him reunite with his sister, thinking about helping her play a round at this time, just wanted to open his mouth but found that Emperor Cheng's eyes were flashing with tears, Wang Dezi stopped with interest.
He turned his head to look at Bai Susu, who was kneeling down and listening to the fall, and knew that not only would she not be punished, but she would also have good luck.
Emperor Cheng was indeed very moved, to be precise, very excited. He also felt that it was not easy for him to work hard for the people all these years.
"I have succeeded to the throne for more than 40 years, and my achievements are really mediocre, I am ashamed of my ancestors and my conscience, I am not a good emperor." Emperor Cheng sighed as he spoke, looking a little sad like that.
Bai Susu wanted to laugh when she heard this, Emperor Cheng's words were clearly making things difficult for her, if she answered well, this level would be passed, and if she answered badly, it was estimated that she would be punished for the crime of colliding with the saint.
She thought for a moment and said, "The grass people feel that the saint's words are wrong. Emperor Shengzu established Dayu a hundred years ago, when the people of the previous dynasty rioted and did not have a good life, and the Emperor Shengzu rose up absolutely for the sake of the people of Li not to be oppressed, but the merits are difficult to find. But now after a hundred years, it is no longer the same as it was then, the founding king is certainly worthy of admiration, but the grass people think that the king of the defense is the blessing of the people and it is more difficult. His Majesty said that there is no merit, and according to the opinion of the grass people, His Majesty's peace and security is the greatest merit. ”
Bai Susu's voice fell and glanced at the place where Lu Zhiyuan was sitting, and it happened that his dark eyes were also looking at her, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes in a hurry.
After the death of Emperor Cheng in the previous life, the three princes succeeded to the throne, and the Lu family suffered immediately, when the new emperor asked such a question in order to embarrass the Lu family, if the answer is wrong or far-fetched, he will be punished.
These words were Lu Zhiyuan's answer that day, Bai Susu had laughed at him at the time for talking nonsense with his eyes open, who knew that the time had passed, and now she herself said the same thing.
"A good country and civil security is the greatest merit." Emperor Cheng was very satisfied with this answer, and the folds on his face were deepened because of this answer.
Emperor Cheng was happy here, the eunuchs outside came in and came back, the prince and the third prince came together, he didn't care why the two came late, and ordered the two to come in.
The two walked in almost side by side, and Bai Susu hurriedly stepped aside when he saw this, thinking that it was better for Emperor Cheng not to think about her again.
"The son wishes his father the emperor happiness like the East China Sea, and his longevity is better than Nanshan." The prince knelt down and said.
"Fushou Kangning, Fushou Mian, Fushou is old, Fushou is complete, Fushou is boundless." The third prince followed and knelt down.
Bai Susu stood aside and looked at the two of them, it was the first time she saw the crown prince and the third prince appear together, these two people fought to the death in their previous lives, and it was inevitable in this life. Just a word of birthday congratulations is already obvious comparison.
The prince's birthday speech is decent, and the three princes are hiding their scheming in it, and the five blessings and five longevity are hidden in it to grasp Emperor Cheng's preferences. Emperor Cheng wrote a poem a few years ago, and the place where the payment was made was the old man Wufu. This is the definition that Emperor Cheng gave himself. And the birthday greetings of the three princes cater to Emperor Cheng's preferences.
In this first game, the three princes won.
She looked at the direction where Lu Zhiyuan was sitting again, he was lowering his head and concentrating on drinking, he didn't seem to notice the turbulent dark tide here, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
Emperor Cheng looked very happy, praised both of them a few words, and then the two of them each presented the birthday gifts prepared for Emperor Cheng.
The birthday gift of the three princes is a statue of an Antarctic immortal, the material is the best white marble, carved by the craftsman for three years, whether it is the details or the appearance is a treasure in ten thousand.
"I don't know what the imperial brother has prepared for his father?" The third prince looked at the crown prince and asked with a smile.
The prince gave a few orders to the attendants behind him, and soon two attendants came up with a brocade box.
"What is this?" Emperor Cheng asked.
The prince ordered someone to open the brocade box and take out the scroll inside, and then ordered someone to slowly open the scroll, and Emperor Cheng's face gradually turned from calm at the beginning to excitement, and he almost trembled and said in a voice, "This is ......"
"Back to my father, this thing is a topographic map of Chongqing, my son ordered someone to draw this map ten years ago, after several years and finally completed it a few days ago, this map not only depicts in detail all the state capitals of my Dayu, the terrain of mountains and rivers and various dangers, but also the terrain of small countries such as Beirong and Nanban where we are bound. Erchen dares to say that this is the most comprehensive topographic map of Dayu so far. The prince's attitude said that he ordered the people to put the drawings away and put them in the brocade box again, and handed them to the eunuchs, "Today's sons will dedicate this picture to their father." ”
Emperor Cheng is fifty-seven this year, and he will be sixty in three years, so he wants to establish meritorious deeds while he can still move, and the crown prince obviously sees Emperor Cheng's thoughts, so this topographic map is exactly what Emperor Cheng wants.
"Okay, with the prince's topographic map, our army's marching formation is like divine help. Someone came, and brought my set of jade dragon cups to the prince as a gift. Emperor Cheng said excitedly.
After he finished speaking, he added, "In addition, take out the set of glass cups that the southwest paid tribute a while ago and give it to the third prince." ”
Wang Dezi was ordered to retreat.
The crown prince and the three princes are all grateful, the prince is proud, and the three princes are smiling.
The prince is very proud and happy, although he is the prince but not everything can be used, the dragon represents the emperor, since ancient times there is a sign that no one can use the dragon.
The Jade Dragon Bowl is Emperor Cheng's favorite cup, a set of 12 pieces, and the situation is beautifully carved with a golden dragon pattern.
Emperor Cheng handed over the things representing the emperor's things to the crown prince, and what was given to the three princes was a set of Western Regions glass cups, which was more important and which was more important than the one that was important to the discerning person at a glance.
Emperor Cheng was in a hurry to see the topographic map and had no intention of reading the poems and songs, so he asked the prince to stay and preside, and he himself returned to the Zhaoyang Palace first.
The ministers naturally got up and knelt down, and after Emperor Cheng left, the prince looked at the people below gently, "There are not too many rules here, everyone is casual." ”
After that, several talented guests came forward to show their talents, and the prince rewarded them one by one with a smile, and the banquet went on tepidly.
Bai Susu returned to his seat, and then the prince led the crowd and began to raise their glasses and drink.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.
"Move me somewhere." Xiao Pingzhang came over scoundrelly, insisting on being next to her, but she was crowded together.
Bai Susu was helpless, "Your seat is at the top, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes if you squeeze into the back with me." ”
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Pingzhang came over with a drunken body, and his eyes looked at her as if he was drunk.
"You're drunk." Bai Susu said.
"Seems like so." Xiao Pingzhang smiled back.
Bai Susu looked at him and became more and more sure that something would happen today, because even when he was talking to her today, his eyes were looking in the direction of the prince.
After a while, the prince became more drunk and let him leave with his left and right. Xiao Pingzhang also got up, "I'll leave for a while." ”
"Where are you going?" Bai Susu asked suddenly.
Xiao Pingzhang was stunned for a moment, she never asked him where he was going, but the mistake was only instantaneous, and soon he smiled, "I'll go and relieve you, do you want to go with me too?" ”
These words were almost whispered close to her ear, Bai Susu's face turned red, and she turned her face away and stopped talking to him.
The scene of the two talking fell in the eyes of a few talented people not far away, and the meaning was different, no wonder the three princes had been married for many years and had no heirs, except for one of the three princesses in the house, there was not even a concubine, everyone only thought that the three princes were affectionate, but now that they think about it, he doesn't like women at all.
Bai Susu naturally didn't know what others thought, and after Xiao Pingzhang left, she stretched out her hand and beckoned a little eunuch over.
The little eunuch had already been taken care of by Xiao Pingzhang, so he was extremely respectful to her, "Bai Gongzi has something to command." ”
Bai Susu told him that he wanted to solve the next three urgent problems, and the little eunuch naturally offered to take her over.
There is also a special place for toileting in the palace, with the little eunuch leading the way in front and Bai Susu following behind.
She looked at the Imperial Garden and sighed in her heart, she didn't know where the prince would be at the moment, and she only vaguely remembered that the place where the accident seemed to happen was in the Imperial Garden, but she didn't have the slightest impression of the specifics.
"Where is the front, I see that the flowers are blooming more brilliantly." Bai Susu slowed down his steps, pointed to a place in front of him and asked.
The little eunuch glanced at it and replied respectfully, "That's the Peony Garden." ”
