Chapter 15: Eating Fish
Wang Wei explained in detail some of the questions listed by the prince and prepared to leave.
Zhu Houzhao saluted in front of the hall, and after watching the people gradually move away, he didn't turn his head to Liu Jin beside him and asked, "What Wang Wei said is true?" ”
The old eunuch naturally knew what the prince was asking.
But he actually has a good relationship with Li Guang, even if he doesn't talk about this, Wang Wei is a foreign minister, and Li Guang is also a minister.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Li has indeed built a palace, but none of them have been built for himself. His Majesty is very filial to the Empress Dowager, and many of these are also for the ancestors to praise the Buddha and pray for blessings. ”
You see, the same thing feels different when it comes out of different people's mouths.
Zhu Houzhao paced in the hall, "Then, why is Li Guang so trusted by his father?" ”
Liu Jin said mysteriously: "Li Guang can make talisman spells, and Your Majesty is weak and sickly, so you rely on Li Guang to pray for Buddha sacrifices, pray for God's blessing, and Your Majesty can also be healthy." ”
In the eyes of modern people, this is really a thing,
But the ancients always believed that there were gods who raised their heads three feet,
Even in modern times, there is still a Korean cult everywhere in front of me.
After getting this information, Zhu Houzhao didn't speak for a while.
And Liu Jin didn't understand what the prince's silence represented, right now, the prince and Wenchen are similar, shouldn't he listen to what those foreign ministers said?
His eyes rolled, and his mind moved again.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty works hard all night, and he is very frugal on weekdays, even if he builds a few palaces, it is because of filial piety. Just doing this little thing, spending this little money, the foreign ministers are still unrelenting, Your Highness thinks about it, are they very loyal to Your Majesty? ”
This old fox, his speech is really inducing.
Zhu Houzhao rubbed his fingers, stood in front of the rain curtain and locked his eyebrows in contemplation, except for the sound of the rain, there was no other sound.
He is actually a little strange, how old is he, and he has not officially participated in the government, why did he come to him for this kind of thing?
It is more likely that these people can't solve this problem, and there is no good way to do it, so they can only try their luck.
That means that the emperor didn't listen to these advices very much.
After a long time, he suddenly spoke, "You go to the imperial dining room, I am hungry and want to eat fish, tell them to make one now, and bring another bowl of rice, which should be hot." ”
Liu Jin saw that His Royal Highness had no impulse, and he was overjoyed, and he felt that he had probably figured out His Highness's thoughts, and he was afraid that Wang Wei's complaint would have no effect.
I can't say it, he still has to go to Li Guang's side to ask for credit.
Otherwise, wouldn't all these words of His Highness be in vain?
After Liu Jin left, Zhu Houzhao turned around and walked towards the hall, and when he turned around, he found that Qiu Yun was looking at him, but he avoided it after meeting his eyes.
"If you have anything to say, you can say it."
"Slaves don't dare."
"Don't dare, it means there is. Go ahead. ”
"The slave and maid have no knowledge, but it is the first time they have heard the same thing, and the two sides have said completely different things. So the slave and maid were thinking, and His Highness was thinking when he heard it. ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled.
The so-called investigation of people's faults is not public; Feel the deceit of people, and do not be angry.
I'm afraid I have to do it slowly.
"Qiuyun, these many things are sometimes like making tea, if you want to come up with a fragrance, then you have to let it brew for a while."
For two reasons, he did not immediately accept Wang Wei's invitation.
In the final analysis, he and Wang Wei have only met a few times, and the exchanges are all scenes.
Now that there is such an obvious thunderstorm, why should he go for him?
It's not a question of good guys versus bad guys, he believes that Wang Wei is a good guy.
But this old pedant, today you are in his favor, and he holds you up to heaven,
Tomorrow you are not to his liking, and he can be as strong as a donkey against you.
This kind of person, small things can be done for him, and opposing such things as his father and emperor is not to do it, but it needs to be considered.
If what he Zhu Houzhao wants to do is the kind of emperor under Confucian values, and his thoughts are relatively simple, then he can follow them to be passionate and brave his life.
But that is at most what a Wenchen calls a prosperous age.
History has proven many times that with the so-called 'clear stream', the country is not much better.
But if Li Guang really does these bad things and does great harm to the country, then out of basic morality, he will also be killed.
It's just that the atmosphere of excitement has not been felt by Zhu Houzhao.
homicide
Sometimes it's important to make good use of it.
The little girl felt that His Highness's words were profound and difficult to understand.
But it fits with the image of Her Highness in her imagination. She felt that His Highness should think about many things that ordinary people could not think about.
"Wait."
"What are you waiting for, Your Highness?"
"Waiting for the fish, of course."
When it rains, the fish will float.
Qiuyun felt that since she didn't understand, she shouldn't think about it, this was not something she should consider, so she should serve the tea.
Her hands were as smooth as clotted cream, and her voice was as crisp as a nightingale.
"Does Your Highness have any tea you would like to drink?"
"Lighter, I don't like strong tea."
This is achievable. Qiu Yun wrote them down one by one, thinking that according to His Highness's preferences, she might as well adjust some more flavors, if she could drink more smoothly, it would be good.
It was raining a little harder outside, and it was dripping at first, but now it was pouring down.
It stands to reason that the northern regions should not have such heavy rain during this season.
But this predominantly agrarian country is always plagued by disasters, and the frequency of out-of-phase occurrences has become normal.
In this way, Zhu Houzhao couldn't get out even more, so he could only walk back and forth in the hall.
Not long after, Liu Jin returned, followed by several small eunuchs. All of them were drenched, and they only protected a large box, and they didn't dare to show half of the gaps.
"Hurry up! If I'm hungry prince, I won't be able to get well, and you don't want to have good fruit to eat! ”
You can see Liu Jin's posture from afar,
In fact, Zhu Hou took care of it and frowned. Even if it is the inherent impression of reading history, it is difficult for him to have a good impression of Liu Jin.
But a person like Liu Jin who can leave a name in history is not useless. At least it's good to look at your face, be smart, and be able to do things.
"Your Highness, Your Highness. The fish are coming. ”
Zhu Hou took care of him, half of his body was wet, and his pants were all wet.
"Come in and put it away. Also, give me some money. It's all hard work. ”
Liu Jin beckoned these eunuchs to kneel, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." ”
After that, he bombed them all away, so as not to disturb the crown prince's dinner here, one by one, like a chicken in soup, wouldn't it be an eyesore for the prince to see?
"Liu Jin, you serve me very hard, I know it. There are still a few more people like you in the palace. ”
Liu Jin was praised, and naturally smiled, "The slave has accompanied His Highness since he was a child, and now he feels uncomfortable when he can't see His Highness for a day." If Your Highness is hungry and tired, the slaves and maids will naturally serve well. ”
"Well, it's a solid worker. is different from that Li Guang, in the end, he caused some trouble, which caused people a headache. ”
Liu Jin listened to it and felt a sigh in his heart,
He just brought a message over, saying that with his kind words, the prince would not do anything to Eunuch Li, which meant nothing more than to ask Eunuch Li to remember his kindness,
Why has the prince's style of speech changed again?
How good is that?
Originally, the prince would not have done anything, but this word could be passed on. Because since it won't happen, Eunuch Li will not move, and he will not know about it, and he Liu Jin has sold his favor in vain.
But what will happen to the prince, this word cannot be preached. Because out of the instinct of self-preservation, Li Guang will definitely make some moves, and it is very likely that he will come to the prince's side to intercede, and it will be self-evident who leaked the news at that time.
But what if you don't pass it on? The crown prince really went to His Majesty's side to ask for Li Guang's crime, wouldn't Li Guang want to go back and get him Liu Jin, who had spread the fake news?
Liu Jin is also a smart person, but when he thinks about it like this, he suddenly feels that his scalp is numb. This is a difficult choice, either to keep the trust in the prince's heart, but will offend Li Guang, or befriend Li Guang, but may be blamed by the prince.
At this time, he saw that the prince was eating fish very leisurely and fragrantly, and he felt a little unfathomable in his heart!
That's a bad thing. After all, it was the Wang Wei who provoked it, and he had nothing to say to the prince about Li Guang!
