Ziqing soon returned to the Han Palace, and sure enough, the first thing he saw was Da Changqiu Jinyan, Ziqing was already in another mood when he saw Jin Yan again, and asked with hostility: "Da Changqiu-"

"See General Kim." Jin Yan returned to Ziqing as usual.

Ziqing walked up to his side and said into his ear:

"No matter what bad intentions you have, remember, with me, you will not succeed!"

Walked behind him again:

"This land is guarded by Xiaozhong and our fathers with their lives, and now although Xiaozhong is not here, there is still me, in a word, I advise you to dispel your ambition to subvert the Nine Domains, otherwise you will be killed!"

Da Changqiu Jinyan didn't have any displeasure, and still said officially: "General Jin, long live something to summon you." ”

In this way, Ziqing is more sure of his thoughts.

The Imperial Study.

"Ziqing can find Xiaozhong's whereabouts?" Emperor Ming asked directly when he met.

"This," Ziqing held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and refused to speak.

Emperor Ming thought it was fruitless again.

"Forget it, or we can naturally meet when fate comes."

"Alas—" Emperor Ming sighed deeply again.

Ziqing didn't know how to tell Xiaozhong's situation at this time, seeing that Emperor Ming sighed, it was better to change the topic, and when the time came in the future, it would be okay for the two to recognize each other again, so he said: "Long live, do you have something unsolved?" ”

Emperor Ming said: "In today's court, it is difficult to describe the lack of talent...... How can you not be worried? ”

"Long live, Gongsun Boren, who was mentioned by the old ministers, you can still remember."

"Gongsun Yi Gongsun Boren?"

"That's right, it's this person." Ziqing saw that it was effective and hurriedly said:

"The Gongsun family has many talents, especially his Gongsun Yi, not only the family is governed in an orderly manner, but even the local people live in an orderly manner under his influence.

Their family has assisted the princes and ministers for generations, but the minister learned that because the Gongsun family no longer asked about the affairs of the world because of the grievances of the previous dynasty, the minister thought that if Banzai could make the decision for the Gongsun family and settle the grievances, he might be able to invite Gongsun Yi to assist the government and relieve the worries for Banzai. ”

"It seems that Aiqing knows this Gongsun family very well,."

Ziqing smiled slightly, and the story in it couldn't be told more.

I also heard Emperor Ming say: "As for this Gongsun Yi, I have also paid attention to the records about him, if it is said that their family has grievances with the previous dynasty, it is not difficult to do." Just this person still needs to please? ”

"This, the Gongsun family has never been in contact with the court, and the ministers also concealed their identities when they contacted them."

"So? You summoned Gongsun Yi to meet me on behalf of me, but I want to meet this Gongsun Boren. ”

"Commandment."

Ziqing received the will and informed the Gongsun brothers and sisters, and the Gongsun brothers and sisters were naturally overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately followed Ziqing back to Gongsun's house on the left and right.

When Gongsun Yi saw Ziqing again, especially the Gongsun brothers and sisters behind him, he was even more displeased, so he called his family to ask for a monk.

Seeing this, Ziqing hurriedly shouted: "Slow! ”

"Gongsun Yi, the Gongsun brothers and sisters are now under my command, if Mr. Gongsun is unreasonable to the two of them again, he will disobey the imperial court!"

Gongsun Yi was very unhappy to be taught by Ziqing for no reason, but he still said confidently: "So what, now my Gongsun family doesn't care about the world, and lives in a simple place, so why bother the court." ”

"Mr. Gongsun, let's talk about it."

Ziqing was awarded by Emperor Ming for his meritorious service in repelling the chaos of the border pass last time, so he was dressed in a three-grade court uniform, and he was not humble or arrogant, and now his majesty is even more daring to offend.

"Brother Jin, no!"

Gongsun Yi was afraid when he heard this, but he was afraid that the emperor would punish Gongsun Yi, so he hurriedly said, "Our patriarch has an upright temperament, so wouldn't it be a disaster to kill himself?" ”

Ziqing patted Gongsun Yi's arm, shook his head, and signaled to reassure him.

He took out the holy decree again, stood up, opened the holy decree neatly, and preached: "The former deacon of the dynasty, Dahonglu Gongsun Yi, listens to the decree!" ”

Gongsun Yi wondered how this little emperor knew about his official position in the previous dynasty.

But seeing that Ziqing was also a little dignified and holding the holy decree in his hand, he didn't dare to do it again, so he had to take his family to kneel down and listen to the decree.

After Ziqing read out the will, he said:

"Please Mr. Gongsun, then follow this official to face the saint."

After the crowd got up, Gongsun Yi Gongsun was still very worried and surrounded Ziqing, and Gongsun said in amazement: "This, long live Brother Jin, will it really not embarrass the patriarch?" ”

"Then do you two still want the Gongsun family to have another day?" Ziqing asked.

"This, naturally." Gongsun Yi replied.

"What about the embarrassment of long live?"

"But—" Gongsun was still not at ease.

"Don't worry," Ziqing had no choice but to comfort patiently when he saw this, "Your patriarch can still survive under the tyranny of the previous dynasty, will he be defeated in the hands of this young emperor who is only crowned now?" ”

"Okay."

Gongsun is amazing, and Gongsun Yi is not very relieved.

But Gongsun Yi himself will also weigh the ink in his stomach.

Palace.

"Mr. Gongsun, you are very wrong."

Gongsun Yi naturally showed to the emperor first that he was hidden from the world and did not ask about the world's mentality, but he didn't expect this Ming Emperor to be the best.

He also said: "Now that you are on my Nine Domains land, you have the protection of my country in everything you have, if you really have nothing to do with the imperial court as you said, why not move to another country, then you have nothing to do with my Han Dynasty." ”

"You-" Gongsun Yi began to have some difficulties, he didn't expect this little emperor to be so difficult to deal with.

"Since you don't want to leave your homeland, it means that you still have a strong relationship with this homeland, how can you give up this affection?"

A few words came to Gongsun Yi's heart.

Gongsun Yi thought that it was not a way to be led by the nose by the little emperor like this, so he turned over the old accounts:

"Then how should the queen of the previous dynasty kill the ancestors of my Gongsun family?"

"Since it is a matter of the previous dynasty, it should not be counted on my court, how many sages of the Gongsun family served the country, I and the emperor have seen it, and now the trend of the old dynasty has been overthrown by our dynasty, what is Mr. Gongsun thinking about?"

"Then so many people from our Gongsun family died in vain!"

Emperor Ming got up and came to Gongsun Yi and said: "Mr. Gongsun, I have found out the cause of death of the sages of the Gongsun family, and I want to blame only the tyranny of the queen of the previous dynasty. ”

"Really?" Gongsun Yi looked at the words and seemed to see the sun in his heart.

"Mr. Gongsun," Emperor Ming said, "one of my holy decrees is not in vain. ”

Gongsun Yi saw Emperor Ming and hurriedly said: "I can't help it, the old man is just an early citizen." ”

Emperor Ming immediately took advantage of the question and hurriedly asked: "What is a grass people?" ”

Gongsun Yi replied: "The people of the grass and the wilderness, attached to the land, are weak but tenacious. ”

"What a tenacious vitality, since Mr. knows that he is attached to this land, why do nothing and don't think about repaying the land to which you are attached? The vitality is tenacious, but you don't want to forge ahead, when I am honest and honest, you are indifferent. ”

"It's just—" Gongsun Yi was already sweating.

"It's just a grudge from the past? That was the matter of the previous dynasty, and now my Han people are prosperous, the tax administration is clean, and the people's hearts are prosperous, if you count the things of the previous dynasty above my dynasty, then don't you think that I am also like the previous dynasty. ”

"This, of course not." Hey, this rake is back? Gongsun Yi said in his heart.

"That is, your grandson's family is greedy for life and afraid of death. What is full of benevolence and morality, it is just your high-sounding words. If you are thinking about the people of my Nine Domains, why do you bother to talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty. ”

"This-" Gongsun Yi was already speechless by the question. He also said: "But how can the old man easily violate the family rules and oaths he made back then." ”

"What do you say? Tell me about it. ”

So Gongsun Yi said his family motto again.

After hearing this, Emperor Ming threw over a scroll and said: "This is your family rule, I came from your grandson Gongsun Yi the day before yesterday, and I changed a few strokes, you see, is it feasible?" ”

Gongsun Yi, the heart said:

This little emperor is so meticulous in his work, and his logical thinking is seamless when he speaks, he is really not a general. Is this a family rule or a holy decree, didn't I find a step for the old man, so how can I continue to insist on it?

See the family rules again, the main content is still keeping filial piety and the like, but this is not allowed to go out of the mountain to assist the princes and ministers has been changed.

It's just that some juniors can use what they have learned to assist the emperor to benefit the people, and at the same time supervise the emperor's actions, etc.:

"If the emperor is unkind and doesn't treat the people well, everyone can-" Gongsun Yi didn't dare to read it again.

"This," Gongsun Yi's heart moved, this, how can my Gongsun family be virtuous, how dare to supervise long live? ”

"I'm not joking, look at what's under the house rules." Emperor Ming had a wicked smile on his face.

"Wang Jian?" Gongsun Yi was even more surprised.

"That's right, if I or my descendants have an unkind heart, this is Shang Fang's sword!"

The emperor even gave himself a sword, and what kind of face did he insist on, today he was really defeated by this descendant, so he knelt on the ground and said:

"The old man is pedantic, and what he has learned all his life thinks he is full of economy and morality, and now compared with such a high righteousness as long live, the old man has learned all his life in vain.

If you really let the knowledge of the children of the younger generations rot in the stomach, and do not benefit the people, what is the point of learning, and what is the difference between those who coveted fame and did not care about the life and death of others in the previous dynasty? ”

Emperor Ming saw that Gongsun Yi was moved, so he struck while the iron was hot and bowed: "Mr. Gongsun really thinks so, then please accept the late birth." ”

Gongsun Yi only felt ashamed.

"Mr. has cultivated many outstanding talents for my Nine Domains, and my Nine Domains is the time to employ people, Mr. disregards his past suspicions, and lets all his protégés benefit my Nine Domains, isn't it the blessing of the people of my Nine Domains, this worship I am for the people of the Nine Domains, how can Mr. not receive a gift?"

Gongsun Yi saw that Emperor Ming was really a generation of Ming monarchs, so he didn't care about the past.

Finally relieved, he said calmly: "As the king of a country, I personally gather talents and recruit talents, and think about the people everywhere, and the people have a wise monarch like you, which is the blessing of the people."

Although they are not some pillars, they can also make achievements for our dynasty, and do their best to benefit the people, and do their best to assist long live. ”

"As the gentleman said, and see how I do for the benefit of the people."
