Chapter 500: Travel
When Qi Xiangyang was ten years old, he was already a very stable young man, he had both the strategy and courage of his grandfather Qi Moxiao, and the literary intelligence of the Ye family. The prince of the East Palace.
Even the group of old ministers who opposed him as the prince at the beginning gradually fell to his side, and they all lamented that the prince must be a Ming monarch in the future.
The overall situation has been decided, and the road should be paved for this child, and Qi Moxiao has almost laid out it over the years.
He had the heart to temporarily unload the burden on his shoulders, and he Yun went out to travel the mountains and rivers month by month, and lived a free and easy life that was completely different from that in the palace.
On this day, he summoned his grandson and son-in-law in the imperial study.
"Yang'er, I will leave the palace with your grandmother in the near future."
"Out of the palace?" The little boy Qi Xiangyang showed a trace of confusion on his face, "Where is grandfather going?" ”
Qi Moxiao muttered: "I have been living for power, for the throne, for the dawn of the common people, and now that I have reached most of my life, it is time to live for myself, I will accompany your grandmother to travel through the mountains and rivers, and I will come back for at least a year and a half." ”
"For so long? But grandfather, what should the courtiers do? ”
Qi Moxiao smiled, stepped down from the throne, and patted the child's shoulder: "Yang'er, although you are young, you are very steady, and I will entrust this country to you." ”
Qi Xiangyang was stunned: "But grandfather, the child's wrists are still immature, and with his own strength, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid it will be difficult to bear the heavy trust of my grandfather. ”
Under the guidance of Taifu, he is familiar with history books, although he is young, he has his own opinions, and he is not a reckless and greedy person, with his current ability, it is indeed not enough to undertake this heavy responsibility.
But Qi Moxiao said: "Yang'er, the tricks and tricks are all experienced, just learning some things from the masters in books is not enough to govern the mountains and rivers." It is precisely because of this that I have the intention to let people contact the government in advance at this age, if there is something wrong, I and your father are still there, and I can cover the bottom for you, you can rest assured to try boldly, just do it, and ......"
He smiled slightly: "Moreover, during this time, although I and your grandmother are not in the palace, but your father is still there, if there is something you are not sure about, you can also consult your father, he has been an official for more than ten years, and it should be no problem to deal with these government affairs easily." Besides, your father's family, the Ye family will also become your court's help, don't worry too much. ”
At this time, Ye Xiao, who had been staying silent, finally spoke, he had expected that there would be such a day, since a few years ago, he had faintly signaled that the emperor had dispersed power, and promoted a group of loyal Hanmen disciples for Yang'er to assist him...... But when this day came, Ye Xiao's heart was still very uneasy, this power weighed a thousand pounds, and if he was not careful, the person in power would be pressed to the point that he couldn't move, his son was only ten years old, even if he was talented, this pressure was really heavy.
So Ye Xiao pleaded hard: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, the prince is still young, if there is no Your Majesty in the court, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, or ......"
"Okay, there's no need to say it anymore," Qi Moxiao saw his thoughts and interrupted him, "Although I'm not here, aren't you still here as a father, Yang'er will entrust it to you." Yang'er is the person who will inherit the throne in the future, you must know the hardships and hardships, and you will succeed. When you have the ability to control the situation and learn the art of imperial checks and balances, you can go smoothly in the future. ”
said a slight pause, "I know, you are reluctant to have children, in fact, Yue'er, Leping, and I are reluctant to live so hard at a young age, but if you want to stand firm at the peak of power, these are the only ways to go, if you are slack at this time, when I and you are gone, Yang'er's road will be really difficult to walk, do you understand?" ”
The emperor's words were like a thunderclap, which went straight into Ye Xiao's heart.
Yes, it is not so easy to be an emperor, otherwise Yang'er will practice early, and after inheriting the throne in the future, I am afraid that it will be more difficult.
Thinking like this, Ye Xiao figured it out in his heart, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Xie mentioned it, and the minister understood." ”
Qi Moxiao nodded, turned his gaze to his grandson, and asked, "Yang'er, what do you think?" ”
Qi Xiangyang said: "Grandfather, don't worry, Yang'er will do his best and not disappoint his grandfather." ”
Looking at the child's firm eyes, Qi Moxiao was very pleased, and said, "Yang'er, I have another sentence to explain to you." ”
"Grandfather, please speak."
Qi Moxiao's voice slowed down: "This is the way of being an official and a king, it is very different, those who are courtiers can act according to orders, but those who are kings are the ones who take the helm and give orders." You don't have to do everything yourself, you don't have to work hard, that's a fool's practice, it will only consume yourself in vain, and it will not be of much use. What you need to do is to identify the situation, grasp the general direction, learn to collect and delegate power, check and balance the royal family, and know how to use people. These words are not long to say, but they are very difficult to do, which many princes and emperors can't do, but Yang'er, grandfather hopes that you can do it. ”
There was a lot of hope in his words.
Qi Xiangyang could feel his grandfather's importance and expectations for him, and he said solemnly: "The child will not dare to forget his grandfather's teachings today. ”
This kid is indeed a manufacturable material.
Qi Moxiao smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Soon after, Qi Moxiao took his wife Yun Zhuyue and his youngest daughter Le'an out of the capital and traveled all the way through the mountains and rivers.
Along the way, they have encountered many things, seen the most majestic mountains, admired the most magnificent sunrises, and once rode a bamboo raft along the long river to see the clear water and green mountains on both sides.
This is almost the happiest years for Qi Moxiao and Yun month by month, they no longer have any burdens, no palace, no throne, no deceit, no power struggle...... They devote themselves to the beautiful scenery and experiences along the way, truly belong to themselves, do what they wanted to do before but couldn't do, go to do chivalry, and be a couple ranger.
In this process, Yun Zhuyue also inadvertently rescued a group of abducted and trafficked girls, who hated each other, but when they returned to their hometowns, they were pointed at by the villagers, saying that they had lost their virginity.
Now there was nowhere to go, so they came to seek the clouds and moon by month, saying that they would voluntarily follow their benefactors and eradicate evil in the future.
Yun showed them the way out month by month, saying that she had the intention of creating a women's army, so that women could also practice martial arts, have the ability to defend themselves, and specialize in cracking down on some trafficking in the surrounding area.
When the girls heard this, they immediately agreed.
They hate people to death, and they don't want to go back to their hometown to listen to those gossip, if they can join this woman now, they can be regarded as having a stable place to live, and in the future, they can support themselves, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
Soon, the women's army was organized, and many women joined in, practicing martial arts and swords together, and became a great local force, because it was founded by the queen's mother, and gradually, the women's army became more and more famous, and even invited themselves to the front line and successfully resisted foreign invasions.
Of course, these are just afterthoughts, so I won't mention them for now.
As for their youngest daughter, Le An, over the years, she has gradually grown into a slim girl.
Because her father and mother have traveled for the past few years, her temperament is lively and bright, and her eyes are like curved crescents when she laughs, which is very cute.
Le'an likes medical skills, during her travels, she learned the method of diagnosis and treatment with many local langs, she is sincere, pleasing in nature, even among the most stubborn old men, she is willing to teach her some prescriptions that are not passed on...... After such a long time, Le'an has collected the achievements of various families, and gradually grown into a doctor with very good medical skills.
When Le'an was sixteen years old, she returned to the capital with her father.
The reason was that her maternal grandfather was seriously ill.
At that time, when she visited her grandfather with her mother, he was already lying in bed and delirious.
Too many doctors, my grandfather is a sudden illness, and he is fierce, I am afraid that it is the accumulation of hard work in the early years, and I am afraid that time is running out.
Le An sighed in her heart, her grandfather was also a great figure back then, in order to avoid the suspicion of the emperor back then, he took the initiative to give up his power and became a peaceful idler. can be said to be an idler, the emperor's suspicion is always like a knife hanging above his head, how can it be reassuring? I'm afraid it's been a lot of years.
Le An comforted her mother intimately, but since that day, the queen mother's face has never smiled, and she often cries.
Seeing that he was worried, Le An took the initiative to propose that he should go to the crooked mind to find a miracle doctor.
The queen mother didn't allow it, saying that she didn't feel at ease when she went out. Le'an couldn't bear to see her mother getting thinner and thinner, so she left a letter and embarked on the road of finding a miracle doctor alone.
Although his grandfather's illness was helpless for the doctors and himself, the world is big, and Le'an believes that there are always medical masters hidden in the people who can cure his grandfather's stubborn illness.
With such a belief, Le'an hurried around to ask people.
When they met Qin Feng, Le An was drinking tea, and Xiao Er of the tea shop enthusiastically reminded them that these outsiders who were in a hurry should avoid Luo'an City in front of them, saying that there was a plague over there, and many people died.
When everyone heard this, they were all scared, and they all chose to take a detour from other places, except for a tall and thin man, who went straight in the direction of Anseong.
Le An panted and chased after him: "Hey, aren't you afraid?" Just now, the shopkeeper said that there is a plague in Luo'an Town in front of you, so you are not afraid of losing your life? ”
"What about you?" The man's voice was faint, and he didn't squint, "Why are you coming this way?" Aren't you afraid of death? ”
"Me?" Le An raised his eyebrows a little proudly, "I'm a doctor, I'm going to save people, so naturally I don't have to avoid it." ”
Only then did he look sideways at her: "Coincidentally, I'm also a doctor." ”
Qin Feng is indeed a doctor, and he is the kind with excellent medical skills, when he arrived in Luo'an City, he saved many people who were infected with the plague, and everyone called him a miracle doctor.
Le An was not convinced, and when the plague was cured, she asked Qin Feng if he would like to help her treat her grandfather.
