Chapter 4 Eloquence
Qin Ming walked into the inner room, the inner room was very large, a golden dragon bed was placed in the center, surrounded by silk curtains embroidered with gold and silver filigree, and countless imperial doctors were busy by the dragon bed.
He walked to the side of the dragon bed, and the imperial doctor who was kneeling in front of the dragon bed quickly gave up a place.
Qin Ming knelt on his knees, looked at the man on the dragon bed who was dying with a breath and a pale face, and immediately began to brew emotions.
He secretly pinched himself, his nose was sore, and the tears in his eyes began to roll, Qin Ming hurried over, held the thin hand of Emperor Da Li, choked in his throat, and said, "Father, the son is late......"
On the dragon bed, Emperor Yong'an slowly raised his eyelids, looked at Qin Ming, and let out a long breath first.
Then he looked at Qin Ming with his cloudy eyes, opened his hoarse throat and muttered, "You're here?" ”
"I ...... I'm afraid time is running out. ”
"No, my father is so good to be born and recuperate." Qin Ming's feelings also came up at this time, his voice was really trembling, and he comforted Emperor Yong'an with a soft cry, "You are Ziwei descending to earth, and with the true dragon body, you will definitely be safe and sound." ”
Emperor Yongan was just about to say something, when a person walked in from outside, Qin Ming looked back and saw that it was Qin Muye, the king of Qi, who was holding a box in his hand.
"Brother Huang, this is this batch of elixir, you will definitely be cured if you take it." King Qi walked to the bed and knelt down to open the jade box in his hand, which contained a reddish-brown elixir the size of a fingernail.
Just from the sidelines, Qin Ming smelled the pungent heavy metal smell of Sanda on this pill.
"Uncle Huang doesn't have to bother, I'll feed my father, Uncle Huang will go out first, I want to whisper something to my father." Qin Ming stretched out his hand to take the jade box, completely ignoring King Qi's stunned gaze, and said something to drive away.
King Qi looked at Emperor Yong'an on the bed, and Emperor Yong'an nodded unexpectedly.
After greeting King Qi, he turned around and went out, and when he turned around, he glared at Qin Ming fiercely.
He couldn't understand why the weak prince, who had seen him trembling all over in the past, dared to speak out to drive him away today?
After King Qi went out, Qin Ming took the jade box and looked at it carefully, and then asked, "When did Father start taking this pill?" ”
Qin Ming seemed to understand a little why Emperor Yong'an was not old, and he was an emperor on horseback, and he was in good health, so he suddenly couldn't afford to get sick.
"A year ago." Emperor Yong'an said weakly.
"Father, don't take this pill yet." Qin Ming didn't know how to explain to him, this pill was actually a heavy metal, and it took more than a year to get seriously ill, and this body was indeed considered healthy.
"The elixir... Poisonous? "Emperor Yong'an is not a fool, Qin Ming said so, he can naturally associate this aspect.
"It can't be said to be poisonous, but all pills are poisonous, just don't eat it anymore." Qin Ming put the jade box aside and held Emperor Yong'an's hand.
"This elixir... It was offered by the King of Qi. Emperor Yong'an shook Qin Ming's hand vigorously, the meaning was obvious, King Qi wanted to harm him!
"The king of Qi has never been a feudal lord since he got his fief." Qin Ming said that sometimes, there is no need to be too full.
"My dynasty has always established a dynasty with benevolence and righteousness, and it is unkind to kill my brother." Emperor Yong'an sighed and said slowly.
Qin Ming didn't speak again, but Emperor Yong'an seemed to open the conversation, and then said: "It seems that I can't survive this year, but I have suffered you, and I have to clean up such a big mess." ”
At this point, Qin Ming raised his head suddenly, and the big eunuch who was waiting next to him also had the sight to see it, and hurriedly withdrew all the imperial doctors and palace maids.
Now there are only three people in the inner room: the emperor, Qin Ming, and the great eunuch.
"You're out there today, very decisive." Emperor Yongan looked at Qin Ming with a look of relief, in the past, he would not dare to do this kind of thing if he was given 10,000 guts.
"But the big departure is not about suppressing a... The servant of the ministry, can solve it. Emperor Yong'an said extremely weakly.
Qin Ming's heart sank, he knew that the emperor's real test for him was coming.
The blame can only be blamed on the predecessor prince for being too wasteful, which has led to the point where it is now, and Emperor Yongan is still not at ease with him.
It can be said that from now on, his performance will directly determine his future fate.
"The current Dali is a mess, with internal and external troubles, it is difficult to return, and it is full of moths."
As soon as these words came out, the inner room suddenly fell silent, Emperor Yong'an's eyes lit up, and the big eunuch who was waiting next to him gasped.
Qin Ming continued, combining the memories of his previous life and the examples of dynastic changes in history that he had seen before traveling, and talked eloquently to Emperor Yong'an: "The external trouble of the empire lies in the fact that the barbarians such as Dirong Xianbei in the north are eyeing the Central Plains, often harassing on the border, and sometimes even intensifying and plundering in the south. ”
"In the south, there are hundreds of Yue rebellion, cooperating with the local Tusi, with fierce native wolf soldiers, relying on poor mountains and bad waters, self-established as kings, and domineering the chaotic side."
"The internal troubles of the empire lie in the fact that Taizu has too much power to divide and delegate power, and the local vassal relatives are in charge of the military, political and financial power, and their strength is great, and they support the army and autonomy."
"There are factional disputes in the court, families fighting for power, cronyism, forming parties for personal gain, and electing officials regardless of ability, only knowing that the party is the same and different."
"In the local area, corrupt officials are rampant, expropriating and extorting tyranny, colluding with local villages, preying on the common people, and making the people miserable."
"In addition, floods in the south and drought in the north, natural disasters are everywhere, people are displaced, and they rise up, and families will not be able to build a family, and the country will not be a country."
Every time Qin Ming finished speaking, the atmosphere in the inner room became colder, and when he said the last four words, the big eunuch listening next to him had already held his breath.
These words, to any one person, are a great rebellion.
Emperor Yong'an's face was even more pale, and he asked slowly: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”
If you want to have long-term peace and stability, you must first settle the people, and then use fierce medicine to quickly concoct the court to sink the house, in order to cut it with a chaotic knife, and then it is the south of the hundred Yue, the north to drive the barbarians, the four seas are unified, and the United is peaceful."
Emperor Yong'an's stiff face suddenly relaxed after listening to it, and even blushed a little because he was too happy.
The face of the big eunuch next to him was also extremely exciting, he had served the emperor for decades, and he had seen him since the prince was a child, and he never imagined that he could say such a majestic word today.
"I know that I didn't see the wrong person." Emperor Yong'an looked at Qin Ming with great satisfaction, as if he were a real father.
"Zhang Yong, pass on the decree."
The great eunuch bowed down and snorted, then took out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago, walked out of the inner room, and read it out loud in front of all the ministers of civil and military affairs and the royal family: "The emperor has an edict!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes were uncertain, but they still obediently knelt down to accept the order.
