Early morning.

The palace gates were not opened.

The officials who rushed to the court arrived in the square one after another, saluted each other, and then three or five people gathered together and muttered quietly.

"I heard that the Duke of Fuguo went to court today, and he has been resting for a month, right?"

"Is it recovered? So it seems that the doctor has some skills. ”

"Aren't you too anxious? Injured muscles and bones for a hundred days, although Fu Guogong is treating old injuries, but the pain was so painful that he couldn't even hold on to the court, and now even if he can walk, he should recuperate for a while. ”

"It's not a girl in the boudoir, and if you're injured, you'll be raised in the day. The children of the auxiliary generals and the border soldiers are not lacking in injuries, and the grandfather of the country is not so expensive. ”

"Besides, he's about to get married, so he can't rest until he gets married, right?"

As he was muttering, the hour had come, and the palace door opened.

The officials entered the palace one after another, some went to the courtroom, and some stood in the small square.

Until Xu Jian appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xu Jian didn't walk fast, it seemed that his pace was even slower than his original pace, until he walked outside the room, he stood and tidied up his clothes, and then pushed the door in.

When the people inside heard the commotion, they turned their heads one after another.

An Yibo was sitting on the side talking to someone, and when he saw Xu Jian, he hurriedly stood up and motioned for him to sit down.

Xu Jian greeted everyone first, did not say hello to An Yibo, thanked him, and sat down.

Lin Yu walked over, looked at Xu Jian, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?" ”

"It feels okay now," Xu replied simply, "I'm sorry for you." ”

There were a lot of people here, and Lin Yu didn't want to persuade him anything, so he only raised his hand and pressed Xu Jian's shoulder: "Yun Yan is worried." ”

At the mention of Lin Yunyan, Xu Jian smiled.

Xu said this by Lord Taishan, and Xu Jian's smile was a little shy.

"Please talk to the county lord," Xu Jian pointed to the hand stove in his hand, "I have it with me, so she doesn't have to worry." ”

Lin Yu responded.

This hand furnace is indeed carried with you, but it is not allowed to be so "willful" in the Jinluan Palace.

When the courtiers lined up to climb the trail, Xu Jian handed the hand stove to the attendant on the side.

obviously lost this bit of enthusiasm, but when he finished walking the trail and entered the main hall, a layer of sweat still broke out on his body.

Persistence is mental, but physical is really not something that can be controlled if you want to control it.

Standing in the main hall, King Jin turned his head to look at Xu Jian, and saw that he was sweating on his forehead, so his gaze moved down and fell on Xu Jian's legs.

He couldn't see the clue, but he still frowned.

King Xian stood behind King Jin, and he saw this move in his eyes, so he also followed King Jin to look at Xu Jian twice, and then withdrew his gaze.

The Holy One has not yet come.

King Jin suppressed his voice and asked King Xian: "Eighth brother, I found this doctor for him, is it not suitable?" ”

King Xian asked rhetorically, "Why do you say this?" ”

"Before he was treated, the winter did not delay him from going to court, but now that he is treated, it looks more difficult." King Jin Road.

King Xian pursed his lower lip: "The imperial brother invited a doctor to the Duke of Fuguo, it was a good intention......"

It's too late to say what I'm going to say at the moment.

The king's guard of honor arrived, and the bright yellow figure stepped into the main hall.

The saint kept walking forward, walked to Xu Jian's side and paused, only looked at it, didn't say much, and then arrived in front of the throne.

Facing up early, big and small things start.

Xu Jian stood in the queue, with a straight figure and listened carefully.

After all, I haven't been to the court for a long time, and although I have mastered some things, there are also inconsiderate things in the end, so I have to listen to them.

Hearing this, I stood for half an hour.

Standing behind, Xu Jian raised his eyes and looked at the saint.

There was no emotion on the saint, but Xu Jian judged something from Gonggong Cao.

The Holy One is impatient.

The early dynasty has long and short times, retreats from the court in a quarter of an hour when there is nothing to do, and can even quarrel for nearly an hour when there is something, with Xu Jian's understanding of the saint, this king rarely has impatience.

Unless, the people at the bottom are upside down, messing around, or they are trivial and have nothing to do.

That's it for now.

It is probably because the crown prince has not lifted the ban so far, which has made some people think that they have seized the opportunity, and they have been making a fuss about it these days.

It may also be that Xu Jian's last court today stimulated them, and they couldn't wait to work harder.

So much so that the force was too violent.

Xu Jian pondered the thoughts of the saint, leaned slightly, shifted his weight to his left foot, and moved his right foot slightly.

The movement was very small, except for the person standing behind Xu Jian, no other officials found it, but it was the condescending Gonggong Cao who glanced at him.

Xu Jian paused for a moment and moved again, this time, the amplitude was a little larger than before.

Seeing it in his eyes, Gonggong Cao's heart moved, and he leaned over and said to the saint: "Look at the ...... of Fuguo Gong"

The saint also saw it, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

Xu Jian was uncomfortable.

Can his legs be comfortable standing for a long time?

There is no reason for the officials to sit in the court, since Xu Jian insisted on coming, he must also feel that it is bearable, if it is a normal situation in the early dynasty, the saint will not give Xu Jian special care.

That doesn't make sense, and it's not appropriate.

But now it's clear that some people can't grasp the proportions.

The Holy One's gaze swept over the person who was talking.

This person took Xu Jian's injury as Shao'er's article, but he didn't see Xu Jian's injury from beginning to end, heh......

"Fu Guogong," the saint interrupted the man and asked Xu Jian directly, "I don't think you're feeling well." ”

Xu Jian immediately stood up straight, lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "It's the minister's loss of honor in front of the emperor." ”

With such a dialogue, who in the hall will not be able to see the situation clearly?

Regardless of whether you are angry or not, you don't dare to talk at length.

After all, he could ignore Fu Guogong's leg injury, but he couldn't continue to speak after the saint made it clear that he didn't want to listen.

The Holy One got up and stepped down from the throne.

When he passed by Xu Jian's side this time, he stopped and said a few words: "Wait for the imperial study, and let someone arrange a chariot for you on the way, save some effort." ”

Xu Jian thanked for the grace.

The saint said: "If there is any Aiqing who didn't say that he was happy, he also came to the imperial study to tell me." ”

Leaving this sentence, the saint walked out.

Gonggong Cao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

The courtiers sent the saint off, and when the royal driver left, they relaxed again.

Lin Yu came over and cared about Xu Jian a few words, but because this was not the place to speak, the two did not say much.

On the contrary, it was King Jin, who frowned and said, "This king originally heard that you are recovering well, but it doesn't seem to be appropriate now?" What did Dr. Yue say? ”

"Lord Xie cares," Xu Jian said, "It's about the same as expected, if it weren't for the better, Doctor Yue wouldn't have agreed to let me come to the court." ”

King Jin smiled: "It's good that you know it in your heart." ”

Most of the courtiers in the palace left.

King Jin didn't have so much scruples when he spoke, and said: "Not only today, but for the sake of the prince for a while, everyone has riveted their strength. I know you can't stand, but in the eyes of some people, you have to say that you are worried about Your Highness. ”

Xu Jian said: "As a courtier, it is also within my duty to worry about His Highness. ”

King Jin laughed again.

Outside the main hall, the chariot has arrived.

Xu Jian said goodbye to King Jin and walked out.

King Jin looked at him, turned his head and said to King Xian: "He is also dedicated to the prince, but the prince is sometimes ignorant." ”

"Brother Emperor," said King Xian softly, "the prince does not want to hear you say that he is not sensible. ”

"Then I don't have to say it too?" King Jin shook his head with a smile, "He was taken to Shuntian Mansion before, and in the end, he came to me before dawn and in the rain, didn't I scold him angrily?" Alas! ”

King Xian also laughed, and finally said: "Let's go, it's cold, don't talk about Xu Jian's legs, I'm cold when I stand." ”

On the other hand, Xu Jian quickly arrived outside the imperial study.

Gonggong Cao personally led him in.

The hand stove that had been handed over to the chamberlain for safekeeping had already been brought back, and there was still a little temperature left.

Father-in-law Cao was a proper person, and immediately changed it to Xu Jian: "This one is a little hotter, you use it first, and you will give this one to the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will warm people." ”

Xu Jian thanked him.

Sheng Shang changed into his court clothes, sipped tea, and asked about Xu Jian's condition.

Xu Jian's answer was decent: If you can go to the court, there will be improvement, but there is not much progress, and you will have to be treated for a year or two......

It's basically the set on the booklet prepared by Dr. Yue.

The saint didn't just listen to him, and asked Gong Cao to send someone to the Tai Hospital to ask the imperial doctor to come over.

Gonggong Cao turned his head, and the saint asked, "Why don't you rest for a while?" I didn't rush you to the court. ”

Xu Jian's fingertips slid down on the teacup: "With all due respect, why didn't you lift Your Highness's grounding?" ”

is so straightforward, not to mention that the saint was stunned, Gonggong Cao, who was just about to come in outside, stopped and was in a dilemma for a while.

The saint looked at Xu Jian and said, "You mean, I should let the prince come out?" ”

"The good or bad of continuing to be grounded, the minister has thought about it a little, and I believe you have already figured it out," Xu Jian said, "Letting the prince out of the East Palace should have outweighed the disadvantages." But you didn't let go, it must have been that you judged that the harm outweighed the good, and the minister just wanted to know where he thought wrong. ”

The saint sighed.

He said that Xu Jian is a smart person, and it is really easy to talk to smart people.

Of course, the most relaxed is undoubtedly the smart people who are on their side.

There is no shortage of smart people in the court, but obviously, today, there are many smart people who are plotting for themselves, which is contrary to his ideas, and those people want to pull Shao Er down.

But Xu Jian is not.

"I probably know what pros and cons you have in mind," Sheng Shang cleared his throat, "Indeed, for stabilizing the court and letting them rest their strength, letting Shao'er come out is indeed more pros than cons."

But for Shao'er, the pros and cons of this have to be judged separately, he has been too smooth since he was a child, and he lacks a lot of tribulations.

I can carry him for a while, but I can't carry him for a lifetime.

His temperament is not polished much, and it will not be you who will be tormented in the future, but you who will assist him? ”

Xu Jian pursed her lips.

It seems that his judgment was not wrong.

The Holy One's anger is almost gone.

The little thing in Chen Mi Hutong was enough to lock Li Shao up until the death day of the first queen.

When the saint does things, he will keep accounts, but he will not casually turn over old accounts, and since the time limit for punishment is set that day, the punishment will be over.

Li Shao didn't come out, but he was disturbed by the little county lord's chaotic fist.

Of course, that little turmoil also calmed down after Li Shao was instructed by the people behind the scenes.

The saint is indeed going to let Li Shao out, but there is a step missing.

At the same time, the saint was also thinking about grinding Li Shao again.

Xu Jian came over and gave the steps.

"The minister mentioned to you before that His Highness is delicate," Xu Jian considered his words, "Sometimes the minister feels that some of His Highness's actions are not because he does what he wants, but because he thinks too much and is full of contradictions. ”

The saint raised his eyebrows and motioned for Xu Jian to continue.

"You let the prince continue to be grounded, the original intention was to grind his temperament, but after grinding for a long time, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the prince will act restraining after thinking about it......" Xu Jian glanced at the saint and said, "Of course, he needs to be reminded and guided, but he also needs a little confidence." ”

The saint smiled: "Faith? I think the most important thing Shao'er lacks is confidence. ”

He's just too confident.

Knowing that he is the crown prince, he knows that his father favors him, so that sometimes he is whimsical.

Xu Jian followed the words of the saint and said, "Your Highness's confidence is in family affection.

You dote on him, and several princes, especially the King of Jin, also love him very much, and he can also get the kindness and love of the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine.

The minister himself is not a pleasing son, but the minister also knows what kind of child can please the elders.

Sweet-mouthed, caring, cheerful, like the prince, and like the county lord. ”

When the saint heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "If you say Shao'er, you will say Shao'er, what does Kwanningan do?" ”

"It was the county lord who mentioned it to the minister before," Xu Jian said, "His Royal Highness hunted deer and sent it to Cining Palace, and the queen mother was very happy and kept praising it." ”

The saint is a joy again.

I have to say that these words made his originally heavy mood relax a lot.

"Your Highness can make you and the elders love, he is full of confidence in this matter, because he does feel the love of you and the other elders," Xu Jian said this, and the words changed, "But he is a little less confident in court affairs, in being the crown prince." ”

Having said this, the saint vaguely touched the meaning of Xu Jian.

"I inspected Yumen on your behalf before, and finally won the battle on the surface, and the court praised His Highness, but you know that His Highness can't accept this flattery in his heart, he understands that he acted out of line and has caused some impact."

"He followed the court and listened to the courtiers, but he rarely expressed his thoughts."

"When the minister followed His Highness to the Ministry of Rites to observe the government, he also felt a little, and His Highness did not do it well, but hesitated."

"When the new science and technology scholars enter the officialdom, if they do wrong, they will do wrong, and everyone has been scolded and punished, but His Royal Highness can't and doesn't dare to make mistakes easily, and if you do less, you will definitely make fewer mistakes."

"After returning from Yumen, His Highness's mistakes were all in daily matters, but in his court's major affairs, the minister thought that His Highness was too cautious."

The Holy One was thoughtful.

Outside, Grandpa Cao was also thinking back and forth, as if this was indeed the case......

After a while, the saint said: "Then according to your thoughts, I not only have to praise him myself, but also let people close their eyes and praise him indiscriminately?" ”

Xu Jian raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of setting up a small throne in the Jinluan Palace?" ”

I've finally made it here.

The earliest inspiration for this article was "The Great and Small Thrones", and when I saw the big and small thrones in Deoksugung Palace, I wanted to write about such a stretched crown prince.
