Chapter 634: For the sake of the best elixir, fight
Yu'er seems to understand his father's troubles very well, "Although it is a pat on the horse, it is also reasonable." According to the previous customs, the Wanshou Festival is indeed a big event.
This is a symbol of imperial power, and it is also a reverence for his father. Since his father ascended the throne, he has never held a big birthday festival. β
Xiao Yuchen glanced at his son and sighed, "I just want to celebrate with your mother, you, and your sister." If it is a big event, it is inevitable that officials from all over the country will give gifts.
"Some officials will go to Kyoto from their territories to celebrate my birthday and give gifts. It is indispensable to work hard and lose money.
"I have passed a day's birthday, but some people can't eat or dress well for a year or two......"
Xiao Yuchen frowned, used tea as wine, and took a sip.
"How can I have a peaceful life at such a birthday banquet?"
Yu'er frowned, "Father and Emperor are hardworking, and those courtiers may not be able to understand." It's just that the imperial power is not only related to the status of the father, but also to the status of the entire imperial court centered on the imperial power.
"If it weren't for their own interests, how could they be so insistent.
"If the father and emperor strongly oppose it, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the courtiers. It is impossible for the father to go to every place to govern and govern by himself.
"My father sits high on the temple, and only by maintaining the officials can they go to various places to govern and manage the people.
"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the light is the same as the dust."
Yu'er's insight made Xiao Yuchen think deeply and nodded again and again.
"Yu'er is so pleased to have such insight at such a young age." Xiao Yuchen touched his son's head.
Yu'er said, "It's not appropriate for my father to directly oppose the ministers, but if someone can use his own strength to pull half, even if it is a small half of the courtiers, to oppose this matter."
"The father and emperor only used it as a wall-to-side view, and in the end, he 'reluctantly' chose a side, which avoided the conflict between the monarch and the minister. Eased possible contradictions between monarchs and ministers.
"Let the courtiers face the courtiers, the father only needs to weigh and choose what he wants, and he can sit back and relax!"
Xiao Yuchen smiled, "Yu'er has learned this weighing technique well recently. β
It's simple in theory, but it's not easy to operate in practice.
At the next day's court meeting, some officials proposed that a long-term birthday festival should be held and celebrated by the whole world. It is also necessary to put up lanterns in various places like the New Year to make the atmosphere sufficient.
"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been diligent in politics, the queen is virtuous, diligent in building women's education, caring about agricultural affairs, and is even more far-sighted and planning for maritime hegemony.
"Such a harmonious emperor and queen is really the luck of the Great Liang, but also the luck of all the people, and today under the peace, the four seas are clear.
"We should follow Zuli and give the people the opportunity to worship the emperor and thank the emperor for his grace through the Wanshou Festival!"
Xiao Yuchen drooped his eyelids and nodded slowly.
Listen, his courtiers are so able to speak.
No wonder his queen would sigh "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road".
But even Yu'er understands the truth, how can he not understand it?
Holding a large Halloween Festival naturally has the necessity and benefits...... Both sides want to balance, how can it be so ......
"Wechen is against it."
In the midst of many secondments.
The opposition seems very lonely, but it is also very loud.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and all the people looked at the man who stood out against him.
Even Cai Xiang didn't object this time, who came out like this?
But seeing that all eyes were focused on Zhou Lingfeng.
Zhou Lingfeng straightened his waist and pole...... Actually, he pretended!
His palms were covered with sweat.
He's coming! only became a national teacher, and he has no foundation at all in the court!
At this time, he should "disappear from the public" and should not take the lead.
But yesterday, Wen Jin looked for him and explained him like this.
also told him that this is his chance to shine, and as long as he grasps it well, he is not a "dispensable" image in the court.
Zhou Lingfeng stared at the scorching gaze coming from all directions, and he deeply felt that Wen Jin was fooling him!
"Oh? Why is the national teacher opposed? Xiao Yuchen held back a smile and pretended to be displeased.
Zhou Lingfeng had quietly recited the Heart Sutra twice before he said slowly, "The emperor is still young, and there will be many opportunities to hold a big birthday festival in the future."
"Now Dagu has just encountered a storm, and the south has encountered a drought. The emperor has always been sympathetic to the people, and of course Hallomy should be celebrated.
"Even if the whole world celebrates, it is also deserved. But if you can make the people sincerely happy, you still have to let them get real benefits.
"Can the people understand the far-sighted gaze above the temple? They don't understand! All they care about is three meals a day, umbrellas in the rain, and warm clothes in the winter.
"If it was on the day of Wanshou Day, the emperor exempted the worship and gifts from all over the country, but instead granted amnesty to the world and reduced the taxes of forced labor, so that the people could get such benefits.
"They must sincerely pray for the emperor, thank you to the ruling ministers, and worship my Liang political and clear court!"
When the ministers heard this, you look at me, and I look at you.
They also didn't expect that a Taoist priest could say this.
But the words of rebuttal are on the lips.
A minister immediately stepped forward, "There is also a precedent for the amnesty of the world on Halloween, but there is no conflict in the big office, and it is better to go hand in hand!" β
"It's just a big banquet, and it conflicts with the opening of 'Enke'!" Zhou Lingfeng said.
His voice was raised a few tones, and he listened to it flutteringly.
Other people just sounded, "Yo, this cultivator just speaks differently, with a "high profile" that is not stained by ordinary dust.
Zhou Lingfeng knew it in his heart...... He's so flustered!
The queen dares to think!
Let him make a suggestion of "Kaienko" here.
Looking at the wolf-like eyes of those ministers, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would be torn and eaten by them in front of the emperor!
But think about the best elixir that the queen mother promised him......
He felt againβit was worth the risk!
He may have a reflex in the back of his head, and he has an adventurous factor in his bones.
Seeing the anger of the ministers, they all wanted to spray the spit stars on his face...... His palms were sweating, but his mind was excited.
"Kaienko? What's going on? The courtiers raised their voices and asked.
"My emperor is the most wise and martial emperor of Daliang, and the youngest and most promising emperor, so he naturally wants to do something that he has never done before!
"On Halloween, it is a grace that has never been there!" Zhou Lingfeng had a calm smile on his face.
He pretended to be ......
The queen mother has already said in advance that he may encounter the condemnation of the ministers.
But when these sounds came to his face, Zhou Lingfeng still felt frightened.
These ministers are really foaming stars, and they can be sharp arrows!
"This year's autumn exam has passed, and the women who were originally scheduled to take the exam next year can take the exam at this year's Enko. This is a first-of-its-kind. β
Zhou Lingfeng felt that his voice was floating.
Kai Enke is enough to float, and the queen mother also asked him to propose to let women participate in this year's Enke.
Enke is the opportunity for the imperial court to increase the township test in addition to the prescribed autumn test.
"In this way, this year's Halloween Festival will surely be watched and unforgettable!" Zhou Lingfeng secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, fighting for the best elixir!
