Chapter 235: Meeting the Emperor (4)
The emperor is very good at buying people's hearts. Ning Shuo thought that if he hadn't had an extra life in his body, he would have knelt on the ground and said words of loyalty at this moment.
He did want to kneel on the ground and tell him about his loyalty to Da Yue and the emperor.
After speaking, the emperor was very moved, thinking that this was a scene suitable for the monarch and the minister, and seemed to be interested, and pulled him to talk about this year's Enke.
"I'm celebrating my birthday this year, how can I not add to Enko?"
But there were several people there to block and block such things, which made the emperor laugh angrily.
He said: "If it goes on like this, is this country mine or theirs?" β
Ning Shuo knelt down again.
This is especially bad for a companion like a tiger. Kneel at every turn. He said in a panic: "Your Majesty, you are angry. β
The emperor was still very satisfied with him, and gave him a hand, "Get up, I didn't mean you." β
Ning Shuo trembled.
This is "making a shallow and deep speech", but the emperor "makes a shallow and deep speech" to him, and he also has to worry about the king, which is the emperor's purpose.
He wiped his sweat, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister tries not to kneel." β
The Emperor laughed, "You talk more than your father and brother." β
Thinking of the faces of Ning Guogong and Ning Chao, he asked with a smile: "I heard that the fourth child of your family also has a hemiplegic face, is it true?" β
Ning Shuo: "Yes...... Neither is it. He used to be like his father and brother, but since he got married last year, he has become lively and always has a ...... face Sweet. β
The emperor really laughed this time, not adulterated at all, and instantly felt that it was really comfortable to talk to Ning Shuo, but Yuchuan was hiding a good talent.
He said: "I remember that he is the daughter of the Huang Shangshu family, right?" β
Ning Shuo: "Yes." β
The emperor recalled: "Huang Shangshu is also an old-fashioned person, I remember that his son is called Zhengzheng, and his daughter is called Zhengqi. β
Ning Shuo: "Your Majesty has a good memory, and it is these two names." β
The eunuch beside him paused, and said with a low smile: "Your Majesty, the slave heard that Miss Huang's small characters have also been decided." β
The Emperor was curious, "Oh? What is it called? β
The eunuch looked at Ning Shuo, and Ning Shuo bowed: "Fierce girl." β
The emperor burst out laughing, deafening.
The frustration he had been stirring up by the ministers for days was gone, and he said, "Ouch, this Huang Shangshu is really ...... What a ......."
He didn't say a suitable word for a long time, so Ning Shuo answered, "I don't care if others live or die." β
When the emperor heard this, he laughed again, "Extremely, extremely." β
After saying this, the emperor valued Ning Shuo more and more, and really talked about the affairs of the court.
"A few days ago, before I said that I wanted to increase taxes on the land south of the Yangtze River, someone said that I would reduce taxes."
Ning Shuo said, "The minister knows about this. β
The emperor sighed, "But the treasury is empty, and I don't know what to do, so I can only rely on them first, I know that the people of Jiangnan are indeed difficult." β
Ning Shuo lowered his eyes and did not answer. He knew very well that the emperor was not asking him for advice, but when he was talking, he couldn't help but complain.
This is the emperor's habit, and he was often complained about like this when he was Suilan, but he just didn't expect that this identity would be the first time he saw the emperor, and he also had this honor.
He couldn't help but look at the emperor, he seemed to be a little older than he had been five years ago, with a lot more gray hair on his sideburns, and he looked kinder.
When the emperor finished speaking, he was able to say, "Your Majesty, the minister knows the lord who wrote the book." β
The emperor said, "How do you know?" β
Ning Shuo: "When the minister went to the ministry, he met and said a few words, and then he went to Lord Wu's house for a banquet and met again. β
The Emperor sighed, "He is so bold, if I had killed him before, now that I have a much better temper, I only beat him ten times." β
And he said, "What are you going to do in the ministry?" β
Ning Shuo: "Sir asked the minister to get the list of tributes." β
The emperor frowned, "What are you going to do with this?" β
Ning Shuo bowed down and said, "When the Suijia case happened, it seemed to be ...... The people of Jiangnan and Yuzhou Academy did not speak for Sui Boying. β
The emperor's eyes widened, and for the first time today, he showed a solemn expression, "Oh? So what did you find out? β
Ning Shuo shook his head, "No, I just found ...... I found that there were many tributes in the south of the Yangtze River, but there were few tributes in the north. β
The Emperor gave him a deep look, "You, very good. β
Very good indeed. That's why he added Enko.
The Emperor wanted to do something great with the increase of Enko. He didn't say anything about this, but just threw out Jiangnan taxes as bait and asked the ministers to stop him, so he stopped him once, do you want to stop him twice? When he insisted on driving Enko again, they were going to figure it out.
The emperor has his own plan, but this plan does not need to be told to a child who has not yet entered the officialdom, but said: "Ning Shuo, if you can always be like this, I can be regarded as a virtuous minister." β
Although this kid is still young, he talks and does things very much to his heart, and he will be promoted - this year's Kaienke matter, do you want him to get involved?
The emperor decided for a while, so he simply let him go back first, "I'll talk to you when I'm free the next day." β
Ning Shuo naturally replied yes, and then slowly retreated.
He had completely calmed down at this point, and the moment he walked out of the hall, he looked at the scorching sun, and in an instant, his eyes hurt again.
It's ironic.
The Emperor has regarded their father and son as a piece of the past.
Fate comes and goes, fate is over.
- You're done, but what about your father?
He muttered, "Father, is it worth it?" β
Whatever you're dying for, is it worth it?
He turned and looked at the plaque in the main hall again. Pure and peaceful.
This was written by the emperor himself. When he wrote, his father was grinding ink on the side, and when he was still young, he was sitting by the door with the prince holding a book and reading, and when he finished writing, he called them to read it, and laughed and said: "Yes, yes, a peaceful place, so is the royal family, and the same is true of the world." β
The father held the ladder, and the emperor stepped on the stairs and hung the plaque on the top of the hall himself.
The things of the past are vivid, and he can think of the things of his youth when he walks under this plaque, has the emperor forgotten it?
He turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of the palace, remembering the answer he had just given to the emperor, his heart became heavier and heavier.
- The emperor can not believe in his father's corruption, or he can believe in his father's corruption. But believe it or not, he doesn't talk about his father as if he were a stranger.
If he believes, he will be angry that his father has been framed, and if he does not believe it, he will be angry that his father has betrayed him.
Instead of saying, as is the case todayβ
It's just the end of the day.
Ning Shuo took a deep breath, his hands clenched more and more, and his heart ached violently.
- Father, is this the Lord you follow?
Then, in the dazzling place of the sun, he saw the prince coming over, and said with a smile: "Ah Shuo, what a coincidence." β
Ning Shuo's hand clutched blood, "Yes, what a coincidence." β
Prince: "Go to the East Palace to sit?" Lonely to ask for. β
He sighed, "It's a private matter. There is a lonely beauty, she has been a little uncomfortable since she gave birth, your sister and cousin have come a few times, and she has a conversation with her, and she is happy, but these days they don't come, and she is lonely again. β
He said: "The crown princess said that she would tell you something to give your sisters, and Lone thought that the princess would tell Lone, and Lone would say it to you, but the princess insisted on refusing. β
Why...... Ning Shuo was much lazy to say.
He just nodded, then looked at the scorching sun again.
My father is not worth it, and neither is he worthy.
Zhao Zhao is not worth it.
