Chapter 42: Gong Sui is the Widow's Kong Ming (Seeking Follow-up)
Soon, Liu He met Gong Sui in the Changyi Palace.
After eight or nine months of tiring travel, Gong Sui's old man who passed the sixtieth year is even older.
The few black hairs that were left are now all white.
The crane has a childish face, and the shape is erect, but it is still in good spirits.
Gong Sui has seen too many things, and they can't compare with Yu Wuwu at all.
For example, Gong Sui never asked Liu He about his future plans, and Liu He never told Gong Sui his intentions, but Gong Sui knew it.
In this way, the cooperation between the two sides will become extremely tacit.
So rather than saying that the pedantic old Confucian king is Liu He's teacher, it is better to say that Gong Sui is Liu He's teacher.
"Where is Gong Qing, where is Gong Qing!" Liu He shouted as he walked quickly into the Changyi Palace.
"Your Highness asks Your Highness." Gong Sui did not rely on the old and sell the old, before Liu He entered the door, he knelt down in a proper manner, because he had not fully recovered from fatigue, and almost fell to the ground.
Liu He's eyes were quick, so he quickly helped Gong Sui to the couch and sat down.
"There are only you and me in this hall now, Gong Qing is tired of traveling, so there is no need to be polite."
"Monarchs, ministers, fathers, fathers, sons, these etiquette systems are out of order." When Gong Sui said this, his face was always a kind smile, more like a joke than a reprimand.
"The widow said that on the day Gong Qing came back, the widow will definitely pour wine and wash the dust for you in this hall, and the widow will immediately let people bring wine!"
After saying this, Liu He, who was excited, stood up, and was really ready to go looking for wine. This was so startled that Gong Sui hurriedly grabbed Liu He's sleeve and pulled him back to the couch.
"Your Highness, the day and night are not allowed by the world, if the old Confucian of the royal style knows about the day drink, I'm afraid he will scold me."
When Gong Sui said this, he was still not angry or annoyed, just like the ordinary skin of the village to explain to his children and grandchildren.
On the contrary, Liu He, because he remembered the conflict with Wang Shi a few days ago, suddenly felt a little lonely and uneasy: driving away a loyal but somewhat pedantic old minister may have thought it was a victory at first, but at this moment it has changed its taste.
Gong Sui seemed to see through Liu He's thoughts, he didn't say whether Liu He was right or wrong, but said lightly: "Before Yu Wuwu went to find His Highness, he had already roughly told me what happened during my absence. ”
"Your Highness has done some things well, but some have done them badly."
This hateful Yu Wuwu actually "sold" himself so quickly to a clean place, it seems that he has to let Tian Bu send him a few more cars of accounts to see.
Liu He thought about "bad things" in his heart, but he didn't dare to reveal too much in front of Gong Sui.
"That old Confucian in the royal style is indeed annoying sometimes, but he is the prince of His Royal Highness."
"The widow understands, and the widow has never doubted Wang Fu's loyalty, but Wang Fu is indeed old."
"After I came back last night, Xia Guan heard the servant say that Wang Fu is now closed and concentrates on studying, so I personally visited him and chatted with him all night."
"The lower officials think that His Royal Highness is at fault, and this prince is also at fault."
Liu He had to admire Gong Sui, it was estimated that it had been less than a day since he entered the city, but he had a clear understanding of what was happening in the city of Changyi, and it seemed that nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
But the young and frivolous Liu He still stiffened his neck and said: "Gong Qing and Wang Fu are old acquaintances, and they should know him better than the widow, and the widow has been looking for his usefulness, but there is no use, it is better to tease his grandson at home and take care of his life." ”
Gong Sui listened quietly, with a smile on his face all the time, as if there was something hidden from Liu He.
"What? Does Gong Qing not approve of the widow's words? Liu He asked.
Zi said: A gentleman is not a weapon. Wang Fu may be the gentleman who can't be a utensil. ”
Liu He is very familiar with this sentence in the Analects, because it has the fewest words and is the easiest to memorize.
But the back is memorized, but Liu He doesn't understand.
Gong Sui didn't intend to explain, he just mentioned another thing.
"I heard Yu Wuwu say that His Royal Highness is recruiting orphans in the city and bringing them to the palace to raise them?"
"Yes, the widow does."
"Xia Guan talked to Wang Fu, and he told me that he wanted to come to the palace to teach those orphans to write."
Gong Sui's proposal was something Liu He didn't expect, because Wang Shi was not only pedantic, but also high-minded, he didn't even want to see himself, the king of Changyi, how could he be willing to teach those orphans who grew up in the village?
"The king is willing to ......"
Before Liu He's words were finished, Gong Sui said: "Wang Shi said it, he was willing. ”
"And they don't teach Confucianism, they only teach literacy and arithmetic."
Liu He thought that he had heard it wrong, and that he was the king of "Zhihu Ye", and he was also proficient in arithmetic?
Zi said: A gentleman is not a weapon. Qualified Confucian scholars should have different talents, and Confucius never said that he could govern the country as long as he read the Analects and Zuo Chuan, which was later said by Dong Zhongshu. ”
Although the "deposition of Confucianism from a hundred schools" has been implemented for decades, it is still not fully recognized at this time.
At this moment, Gong Sui called the name of "Dong Zi", I am afraid that he was one of the opponents standing opposite Dong Zhongshu.
"Wang's arithmetic may not be as good as His Highness, but the coach of those orphans is still more than enough, and when they have learned, His Highness will let Yu Wuwu and those Langzhong teach them, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort."
"Chaowen said, it is okay to die at night, His Royal Highness should give Wang Shi this opportunity."
Liu He stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "The widow knows, please ask Gong Qing to apologize to the prince for the widow, it was the widow who was reckless that day." ”
"Hahahaha, that old Confucian of the royal style, he won't care about this, he can contribute to His Royal Highness, he will be satisfied."
After talking about Wang Fu's matter, Liu He's heart also felt relaxed, the thing he was most concerned about now was the matter of cotton.
"Gong Qing, do you think the thing about weaving cotton cloth is feasible?"
"The cotton seed was given to He Xizhi, the cotton cloth was given to Zeng Changle, and as for the native couple who brought it back, it was also handed over to the two of them respectively, once the cotton cloth has a result, they will naturally inform His Highness, His Highness doesn't have to worry about it."
In a few words, Gong Sui finished the whole thing.
Liu He opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but found that there were no more questions to ask.
This Gong Sui is to himself, it is simply Kong Ming to Adou.
The only thing that made Liu He feel a little relieved was that he was at least stronger than Na Adou.
"Your Highness, this cotton and cotton cloth is a small matter after all, and there is a big matter that Your Highness has to deal with."
"Huh? What's the big deal? ”
"A few days ago, King Guangling sent people here, and they wanted to frame His Highness and make His Highness die and be discredited."
Gong Sui said the news in the most ordinary language.
"What!? When did it happen, and where is the man who sent it now? Liu He stood up from the couch at once.
Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is the most threatening person to Liu He except for the one in Chang'an.
"Your Highness, this matter has been settled by us, Your Highness doesn't need to panic, now you just need to think about the follow-up." Gong Sui went to pull Liu He's wide sleeve again.
Liu He was skeptical, but he still sat back on the couch.
He wanted to ask Gong Sui again how they solved it, but Gong Sui went down with the topic.
"The lower officials believe that King Guangling has not seen through His Highness's plan, and he has done such insidious things just to seek stability."
"It's just that Your Highness will have to be more careful in the future, especially when you go to Chang'an in September to offer gold, you must be especially careful, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of danger at that time."
Liu He, who was in a good mood just now, was gone at this moment, he didn't expect that the head-to-head confrontation would come so early.
