Chapter 108: Reds
It is said that they came to the palace, entered from the small door, and when they arrived at the upper study, the little devil went in directly, and the eunuchs and palace maids at the door all bowed their heads and bent down to serve on the side. The little devil in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is a celebrity in front of Hongyi, and everyone in the palace knows that it is natural to show respect when they meet.
When the little devil saw the emperor, he bowed, and Hongyi asked him to get up, saying, "I want to hear about the recent war in the allies, as well as the folk sayings. β
"Long live Lord Qijuan, just now in the early dynasty, the ministers have already discussed this matter. The situation that the little devil learned from the people was similar to what the ministers discussed. Today, however, the minion meets the hero Galle. The little devil said.
"Okay, I just wanted to see him, where is he?" Hongyi asked.
"Long live the Lord, he is waiting outside the door. The little devil said.
"Excuse me, please. Hongyi commanded.
"Minion Command. The little devil said, slowly withdrew, and when he went out, he quickly ran to Galle, and said, "The emperor has decreed that Galle will meet you." β
When Galle heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Quick, lead the way." β
In fact, he already knew how to get in, and in order to show respect, he asked the little devil to lead the way, and also let people see that although he was from a foreign country, he also knew the rules of the Central Plains.
Sure enough, the little devil is very willing to lead the way, he feels the respect from the foreign hero, very proud, it is often the natives who look down on people, and the foreigners do not know the details, but they still retain their innocence.
He said: "The emperor said, when he asks about the situation of the border defense of the scimitar tribe, you can say as much as you know, and don't say what you don't know." β
Of course I know this, this is the basic criterion of being a human being, I don't know, but I want to say that it is the crime of deceiving the king, of course I know it. "Galle has a good grasp of this and will not take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
As he spoke, Galle followed the little devil into the upper study. He followed the little devil to learn, how the little devil did it, he also followed, Hongyi hurriedly helped him up, but he couldn't help him, Hongyi asked: "What's the matter with you, how do I feel that you are like a big stone sculpture, very heavy!"
"Your Majesty, Galle was born heavy, this was brought from the womb, there is no way. Galle said.
"Oh, I see, you were born this way, no wonder you are different from ordinary people. Getting back to the point, now I have a headache, and I want to ask Xiao Sheng to come forward to solve it, but I didn't expect that the little devil met you in the teahouse, it's really a coincidence. Hongyi said.
"Oh, that's right! It seems that both kings have a problem in mind. Galle said.
"Excuse me, what's the problem?" Hongyi asked impatiently.
"It's the matter of the Western Xia soldiers preparing to invade the Scimitar tribe. Galle said.
"Yes, I have also received a report from the border gate, the ministers are discussing, the people are in an uproar, and the people have now taken action to hoard grain. The Central Plains has always been plagued by many disasters and difficulties, under my governance, it has been a few years, and now there is another war at the border pass, and the war is about to burn, I am very worried, so I want to find Xiao Sheng to discuss the war in your country, but I don't think you are here, so I don't have to invite you again. Hongyi said.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince is not free to come, he is concentrating on studying the Dao Law, the more chaotic the army, the more calm he is, if there is anything, just tell Galle, Galle will go back and report to His Highness, it is the same. Galle said.
"I know, very good, I have issued a holy decree, ordering the Northwest General Wei Hong to strictly guard to the death, pay close attention to the war in neighboring countries, transfer troops, strengthen patrols, and seize the time to train troops, repair chariots, polish weapons, strengthen training, crossbowmen, cavalry, artillery and other officers and soldiers, must strengthen training, order all military horses to stick to their posts, wait for the day, ready to dispatch at any time, when the Northwest General Wei Hong can not stand it, the other eight kings are ready to transfer troops to the north, to aid the Northwest General. Hongyi said.
"Galle knows that the emperor is the son of heaven in the Central Plains today, and he is sent by God to manage all the people. For the emperor's arrangement, Galle felt very thoughtful. It's just that Galle wants to remind the emperor to pay attention to the internal thieves in the Central Plains, if the internal thieves are not dug out, I am afraid that the subjects of the Central Plains will suffer, and even endanger the emperor himself. Galle said.
"Yes, are there thieves? I haven't heard of it yet. Hongyi asked, in fact, Hongyi vaguely felt that there was a thief, however, he didn't want to admit it, he was afraid of foreigners' jokes, but these words were said by foreigners first, even if they were spread later, it could not be said that the emperor was stupid and mediocre, but only that foreigners were too smart, so the emperor could not be blamed, if you want to blame those chaotic ministers and thieves, or blame those villains behind the scenes, they will make small moves behind their backs, and they will be subversive, so that the emperor will not be able to live, and the people will suffer from the torment of life.
Then, Galle told the border patrol of the scimitar tribe about the capture of the messenger, but unfortunately the messenger knew that he was cornered, he first lit the flint and burned the letter, and when the pursuers arrived, the messenger bit his tongue and committed suicide, and the letter was burned, after rescue, extinguishing the fire, but still failed to rescue the letter, and then after careful identification, there was only one word "green", I don't know what it means.
Considering that the king was just guessing, Galle did not tell the emperor about his secret visit to Qingzhou, because Qingzhou is the territory of the third master, and for the emperor, Qingzhou is a place he does not want to go.
After listening to Galle's introduction, the emperor understood that the inner ghost must exist, but to know who the inner ghost is, he must also visit in secret, not above board, just like a little devil, to understand the social situation and public opinion, he must also go to the teahouse to ask, see, listen, try to grasp a little more information, take it back and report it to the emperor for reference, no matter from which aspect, it is very necessary to act in a low-key manner, you know, it is not easy to be the emperor.
After listening to what the emperor said, Galle was about to leave, he had to write down the emperor's words, and then tell Gesang, and let Gesang tell the king that he wanted to complete the situation of the border war of the scimitar tribe from the subjects of Kyoto and even from the emperor, and be ready to attack at any time, if he does not take the initiative to attack, he may face passive beating, and when the conditions are ripe, he still has to take the initiative, and the early birds will have worms. Of course, the early insects are a different matter, and they will not be discussed here, they are all natural phenomena, one thing descends another.
Hongyi felt that it was a little inappropriate to stay in the upper study, because he found that the floor tiles in the upper study were broken two, which happened to be the position where Galle was standing, no wonder when he was supporting Galle just now, it was like supporting a stone carving, a big stone carving, very heavy, dare to love this broken brick is Galle's masterpiece, if you go down, the ground of the upper study will become potholes, if you want to recover, I am afraid it will take time and effort, the key is that Hongyi likes to be thrifty, redecorate, at least to use the imperial court resources, these money come from the people, and must not let the people put excessive taxes on their shoulders, so as to be diligent and love the peopleγ
Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the floor tiles of the upper study were trampled by Galle and became a garbage dump, but it is obvious to all that Galle got into trouble, however, Hongyi is very smart, he just doesn't say it, this is because Galle saved his life, in addition, Galle is from an ally, he is a foreigner, these can be pardoned by the emperor, there is no crime, and he just stepped on the two floor tiles of the upper study, it is not surprising.
Galle seemed to be aware of this problem, he found that Emperor Hongyi's strange eyes, a little surprised, and then looked at the feet, sure enough, the floor tiles were broken, Galle was like a mirror in his heart, he knew very well that he had to walk fast, and the ground was fine, once he stood in a certain place, as long as there were bricks or marbles, they would suffer, either broken or damaged, in short, there was no complete, if you wanted to be complete, you must be cautious, otherwise, you would not be complete. Galle is already heavy, plus the angel son, this oversized giant, the weight can be imagined. However, the angel will become a feather and can avoid stepping on the floor tiles of other people's houses, but the angel is lazy, too dependent, and relies on Galle for everything, and is unwilling to change around.
Galle said: "I'm sorry, Emperor, Galle is in trouble, please ask the Emperor to punish Galle!"
"No need, now that the war is tight, all countries are actively preparing, not to mention invading other countries, at least they must know how to protect themselves, ensure their personal safety, and ensure that they can breathe freely. Hongyi said that what the emperor said was very classic and could leave a deep impression.
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, then, Galle is gone. There will be a period later. After Galle finished speaking, look at the little devil.
The little devil said, "Please come with me!"
The little devil hunched his waist and withdrew, Galle saw it, and felt that this was a respect for the Son of Heaven, his identity was a foreigner, equivalent to an envoy, to understand the rules, he had to do it like a little devil, only in this way could he establish the prestige of the emperor, of course, no matter how well the emperor did, it could not guarantee that everyone would be satisfied. In this case, you need to be relatively satisfied, and if you want to be absolutely satisfied, you need to pay a lot of money!
"Go down, I hope it all goes well, and I look forward to your good news. As the emperor spoke, they listened to what the emperor said, they both bowed their heads and listened, did not dare to interject, were quite quiet, and then slowly withdrew from the upper study.
The little devil sent Galle to the back door of the upper study, and said to him, "Hero, if you want to find me, go to the teahouse and see you in the old place." If you want to ask to see the emperor, I will bring a message to the long live lord, you don't have to work hard to personally send the news to the palace, of course, if you want to find the emperor is not easy, that is, you find the emperor, the emperor's time is enough, but also pay attention to the way and occasion of speaking, in the palace, can not guarantee that everyone is loyal to the emperor, to have a high degree of vigilance, once something happens, it will be unimaginable, understand?"
Galle felt that the little devil had too many words, and it was inconvenient to interject, and he would not tell the little devil where he was going next, once the emperor knew, the consequences would be very serious, and this was not alarmist.
The emperor did not like to go to Qingzhou, the reason was very complicated, the main point was that he trusted Wei Hong, the general of the northwest, and with Wei Hong, he could resist wars or riots from foreign countries or from the interior. It's really a husband and a wife!
Another point is that the emperor doesn't want to see the previous third master, this guy is annoying, the emperor didn't kill him, not only was he not grateful, but he had to inch in.
