"Huh? My lord, what did you say?"
Gao Youqian was blinded.
Blinking his eyes, he looked at Zhao Ding with a confused expression.
What the hell?
I heard it right.
Will the King of Yan live and die together with the people of Youzhou?
At this moment, a young eunuch next to Gao Youqian looked at Gao Youqian with sobs, and then glanced at Zhao Ding's back. The young eunuch cried out: "Father, the prince said that he wants to live with Youzhou." Life and death, woo woo woo..."
As he spoke, the little eunuch suddenly cried even harder.
Seeing someone high and rich makes him look even more confused.
His Highness, King Yan, is out of his mind?
Want to live or die with Youzhou?
Is this crazy?
Ahem~
Cleared his throat.
Gao Youqian felt that Zhao Ding could save him a little more, and was about to speak.
Then Zhao Ding turned his head and looked at Gao Youqian with a solemn expression and asked: "Father-in-law, let me ask you, who am I?"
"You are Prince Yan of Daqian."
Gao Youqian replied subconsciously.
"Then what?"
Zhao Ding asked again.
"Then?"
Gao Youqian's head was a little blurred, and he subconsciously replied: "You are the ninth son of my current Majesty Da Gan."
"And then!"
At this moment, Zhao Ding's tone suddenly became high-spirited.
"And then?"
Gao Youqian's voice also became sharper.
He looked at Zhao Ding with a confused look on his face.
What else is there?
This touches a bit on his blind spot of knowledge...
Then I heard Zhao Ding ask with a low expression: "Father, have you ever heard of a saying that water can carry a boat but also capsize it?"
"ah?"
Gao Youqian looked confused.
Why does this have anything to do with water and boats?
Aren't you asking about your identity?
At this moment, Gao Youqian felt that his head was a little down.
Zhao Ding couldn't quite tell what he meant.
But he was born into a good father-in-law who has been around the court for a long time and specializes in flattering!
Gao Youqian quickly replied: "Your Majesty, of course I have heard of this. Our ancestors were rowing boats. When the water is big, you can't row, but when the water is small, you can row. This should be you, Your Majesty." It is said that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
Hey, you are really talented.
Zhao Ding let out a sigh in his heart, but his face was still depressed, and he sighed far away: "Oh, father-in-law, you don't understand, you don't understand my king's thoughts."
Then he suddenly turned around and looked at the hungry people from Youzhou who had "sallow complexions" and "no tree bark to chew" after he was born. Zhao Ding sighed leisurely and said: "Since ancient times, the royal family has regarded themselves as emperors, and they have promised to be the herdsmen of heaven. , Little do they know that the way of the king and the way of the people are just like the water and the boat.
Water is the people, and the king is the boat.
The water is soft, but it can support the boat and help it sail thousands of miles across the waves. However, the water is soft, but it can capsize the boat. If the wind is high and the waves are strong, how can the boat move steadily?
This theory of water boats is just like the situation in Youzhou.
As the son of the Emperor and the King of Yan in Youzhou, I am like this boat sailing on the water. Now that the people of Youzhou are in trouble, you let my boat get out of the water? What do you think if I did this? Can my boat go far?
Similarly, how can a boat go fast without water to support it? Go far? "
Nowadays, the people's livelihood in Youzhou is in decline and the people are hungry. Under such circumstances, what if I leave? If Youzhou survives this disaster in the future, what face will I have when I come back to see my fellow villagers in Youzhou? "
Zhao Ding spoke every word in an extremely low voice.
The words are all full of heartfelt meanings.
Hearing this, Gao Youqian burst into tears. While wiping his tears, he looked at Zhao Ding and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness is right, but I was wrong. I will never say anything about inviting His Highness King Yan to return to the capital." .
In this way, His Royal Highness, King Yan, although his servant has a low status, he is also a dishonest person.
But as a subject of our Daqian, we eat royal food, so we should have a patriotic heart.
It's a pity that the slave girl left Beijing with less silver this time.
This one hundred taels of silver will be used as my slave's affection for Youzhou! "
With that said, Gao Youqian took out a one hundred tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Ding's hand while wiping his tears.
"There is also me, my slave."
"And I."
"I don't have much money. I only have one tael, and I give it all to you, Prince Yan."
Afterwards, Gao Youqian took the lead and burst into tears and personally donated money.
The little eunuchs who came with Gao Youqian suddenly cried even more sadly.
One by one from the carry-on purse.
He took out the only silver he had left on him, stepped forward and put it in Zhao Ding's hand.
It's not just these little eunuchs.
Even the guards were looking at this scene with tears in their eyes.
He stepped forward, took out all the money and handed it all to Zhao Ding.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ding with reverence and awe.
such a pity.
After all, His Highness King Yan is not his legitimate son. If he is his legitimate son, would Da Qian have such a clear master? Why worry that the country cannot prosper?
"Thank you all."
Zhao Ding took the money handed over by these people with trembling hands. With tears in his eyes, he bowed to several people.
Looking at Zhao Ding, a prince is like this.
In an instant, the eunuchs such as Gao Youqian burst into tears even more.
Gao Youqian even wiped his tears and said to Zhao Ding: "Your Majesty, don't say anything. This time our family will report the matter of Youzhou to His Majesty truthfully and let Your Majesty know your Majesty's painstaking efforts. And that sentence Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. We will definitely explain it to His Majesty truthfully.
Although our family has never read books, we can still pass on messages. "
Speaking of which.
Gao Youqian looked at Zhao Ding again and asked in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say? Do you need a slave to bring it to His Majesty?"
I have a fart!
Zhao Ding let out a sigh in his heart, but his face still showed sadness. He patted Gao Youqian's shoulder, covered his face and cried bitterly: "Can you please go back, Eunuch Gao, and tell my father that since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Just say that the child is unfilial. For the sake of the people of Youzhou, and for the great cause of the royal family, I cannot always accompany my father to fulfill my filial piety."
Upon hearing what Zhao Ding said.
Gao Youqian and other eunuchs, and even the guards burst into tears.
However, Zhang San, Hu San and Niu Budou were all confused.
what's going on?
Are you being fooled by your own prince?
But these days, after all, he is a veteran who has followed Zhao Ding for many years.
Quickly, while no one was paying attention, he whispered: "Cry, cry!"
Ever since.
For a moment.
The people of Youzhou who had just calmed down suddenly burst into tears.
Crying: "Your Majesty, you are so righteous, we can't let you go!!!"
Hearing this made Zhao Ding feel goosebumps for a while.
However, due to the professionalism of an actor, Zhao Ding still looked sad, looked at the Youzhou 50-cent actors behind him and cried: "I, too, can't bear to leave you!"
