Dongji Empire, Chang'an City, Imperial Palace Imperial Study!

The emperor who was over sixty years old but still looked like a middle-aged man saw a person coming here, and quickly put down the stack of military newspapers that had just been sent back from the Zhongzhou front line in his hand, and got up to greet the comer.

The visitor smiled slightly, and then saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

"Sir, don't you always tell you that if there is no one, you can just call the student's name......" The Emperor smiled and supported the comer.

The one who came was the national teacher of the empire, and the emperor of the current emperor. The old man, who looked like a poor old man, shook his head slightly, and instead of sitting on the only chair in the room, he stood aside and let the emperor sit down.

Seeing this, the Imperial Son shook his head slightly helplessly, he knew his husband's temper, so he didn't force it, but he didn't sit down again, but hung his hands and stood next to his husband as a student.

"Why does Mr. have this Yaxing today, come to the imperial study to find students?" Seeing that his husband was not ready to speak first, the Imperial Son of Heaven smiled and took the initiative to find a word.

"The minister has come today because he has a matter to discuss with His Majesty. The emperor replied.

The Imperial Son of Heaven was slightly surprised, then shook his head and said with a smile: "If Mr. wants to do something, just do it, the student has already made it clear to the three provinces and six departments, and the words of Mr. are the words of the students." ”

"In this matter, it is estimated that only His Majesty can make a decision. ”

The Imperial Emperor was slightly stunned, "Oh, in that case, Mr. might as well tell the student, as long as the student can do it, the student will definitely solve problems for Mr." ”

The emperor smiled indifferently, "Isn't Your Majesty going to build a Taoist palace for the Dao Palace in Taihua Mountain? It is said that the quantity is huge and the cost is huge. ”

Hearing this, the Imperial Son of Heaven smiled, "Sir, this is just to make the Dao Palace think that we are still afraid of him, so that they will not make trouble in the rear when we attack Zhongzhou." Wait until we defeat Zhongzhou, and then transfer all our strength and step on the Dao Palace, which is as easy as a hand. ”

The emperor smiled, "The minister knows that His Majesty is not afraid of that Dao Palace, and sooner or later one day he will have to clean up the Dao Palace and complete the grand plan that the previous emperors did not complete." But that's not what the minister said. ”

The Emperor Tianzi paused for a moment, his smile froze, he knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, "Mr. wants to retire to Taihua Mountain?"

"I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled. The emperor bent down and saluted.

The Imperial Son frowned a little bitterly, "Sir, you can't get used to seeing students attacking Zhongzhou?"

The Emperor shook his head.

"Sooner or later, there will be a big collision between the rivers and lakes and the temples, it's just a matter of where to choose. Since Providence has chosen Zhongzhou, what is beyond human resistance can only be followed. The minister was not angry with His Majesty. ”

"Mr. is gone, how can the student's huge society be safe?"

"The minister has prepared some tips for His Majesty, just open them according to the minister's instructions. There are also some oral explanations, and the minister will now also explain them to His Majesty. Although Chen Gong passed away a few years ago, his youngest student who passed the age of Huajia could be transferred from the Ministry of Officials to the three provinces, and this person was enough to take on the great responsibility of Zhongshu Ling. ”

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, that is, General Fan's father, can let him be a man for another three or five years, and then transfer him out of this position and replace him with someone who can take on this position, such as the young man who is now in the Ministry of War. ”

"The left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he has all the qualities and abilities, and he can be promoted. ”

"Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling, although the power is high, and this person is greedy for money, but this person must not be suppressed. Because this person is capable enough, although there are several young people in the court who have the potential to be Shang Shuling, they are far from growing up. The important thing is that this Shang Shuling now has an advantage, that is, he is not greedy for power, and after he sits in this position, he only seeks to be safe. ”

"In the dispute between relatives and the prince, Your Majesty can intervene appropriately to prevent problems before they happen, but you can't do it too obviously, otherwise it will only have a negative effect. Your Majesty is a wise monarch, presumably this can be done well. ”

"And today's old imperial doctor, who is a strong man, although he has a violent temper, but he is dedicated to the country and His Majesty. Your Majesty must not vigorously suppress the old minister because he wrote to impeach the old minister before. ”

"There are many more, many of them are written in my bags, and the rest is up to Your Majesty himself. ”

"Today's imperial court, after more than ten years of rectification, there is no need for ministers to eat rice here anymore. Minister, too, is old. ”

The poor old Confucian emperor smiled slightly, took out twenty or thirty small bags from his two wide sleeves, and put them all on the imperial table in front of him.

The Son of Heaven of the Empire closed his eyes and didn't look at the bag, if anyone else was here and said these words to him, he would definitely have people drag him out and behead him on the spot, and then exterminate the Nine Clans.

But only this person in front of him, he was in awe from the bottom of his heart.

"I know. Aiqing's age is not too young, I can understand, so Aiqing still has something to add?" The Son of Heaven of the Empire sat down, bowed his head slightly, and asked with a calm face.

"It's fine. ”

"Then go back and prepare, Taihua Mountain is not too far from the capital, if I have time, I will go to visit Aiqing." ”

And so he retired. The emperor didn't care about the change in the student's tone and the subtle change in his words, but still smiled indifferently and saluted.

After he turned around and took three steps, the Imperial Son of Heaven suddenly stood up, "Sir!"

"Thank you sir for all these years. For the country and the people, Mr. has done his best and worked hard. It is the luck of the students to meet Mr., it is the luck of the people to meet Mr., and it is the luck of the world to meet Mr. ”

"Finally, the student wants to dare to ask the last question, can you see a student as a student over the years?"

The thin and stiff figure stopped, did not turn around, and only heard him say with a smile: "For the country and the people, Confucianism is the duty." Mr. Student, there is a beginning and an end. When you and I first met fifty years ago, I recognized you as a student, and for so many years, we have been. ”

"Always?"

"It always has been. ”

After that, the poor old Confucian with fluttering sleeves left with his hands in his hands.

The Emperor of Heaven was in a trance.

He seemed to have returned to his childhood fifty years ago, looking at the young scholar in a Confucian shirt, high-spirited, elegant, and with a face like a crown of jade, after striding into the imperial study, he praised him in front of his father, "His son will definitely have great benefits in the society."

That young scholar was the only gentleman in his life.
