"You did a good job in the past, and generally managed the temple well. I am happy in my heart." The queen was thinking about it, and then listened to the emperor smiling and saying to the king: "Next, what are your plans?"
Dai Wang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think the first thing is to protect the face and majesty of the court and the king. There are people suspected of attacking King Qi in the shrine. Sun Chen has asked people to arrest them all. Shuntian Mansion is also very cooperative. Generally speaking, We have already captured them all, and the punishment must be canonized, leaving no one behind."
"That's right. Not only must all these thieves be killed, but their families must also be traced!" The emperor was still relatively satisfied. King Dai did not have any opposition with King Qi. The differences in this aspect showed that he still had some overall concepts.
"Secondly, all the shrines have surrendered to the imperial court, and many of them are shrines to the righteous gods. How can Sun Chen dare to take matters into his own hands? I should ask the emperor to express his decree." Su Ziji hurriedly explained everything he had done recently. , there are many temples and the situation is also explained one by one.
"What do you think?" The emperor did not answer, but asked Su Ziji.
Su Ziji said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the purpose of Shinto teachings is to appease people's hearts, and since ghosts and gods have spirits, we must be cautious."
"Sun Chen thought that the first thing to do is to ask the Ministry of Rites to clarify whether it is a formal sacrifice or an obscene sacrifice. If it is an obscene sacrifice, not only should the temple be demolished, but the traitors should also be arrested and prosecuted, so as to suppress the public."
In officialdom operations, the more departments involved, the more pressure and responsibility will be shared.
A single man cannot go far. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of this matter. It is its responsibility to clarify things. Even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with the king's purpose.
"If they are being worshipped, they may just be people who use the temple to borrow gods to sell their own goods and incite ignorant people. This kind of purification of temple blessings can only be replaced by people with clean and upright rules. It is not appropriate to sweep them all away, so as not to damage the moral character and hinder the court. The key to education.”
"To be specific, the laws of the emperor and the court should be used as the regulations."
The emperor remained calm and pondered for a moment. He had to admit that the method of handling the matter was still systematic, with tension and relaxation. He nodded for a long time: "Just do it as you said."
The two kings of Qi and Shu felt sour when they saw the harmonious scene between their grandfather and grandson.
Why did the emperor suddenly treat Dai Wang so well? Could it be that this child is really extraordinary and that he will be able to help the king after he is born?
The emperor seemed very happy, his old face flushed a little, and he said: "You used to live among the people. Although you have good qualifications and won the first prize, you didn't know anything about the imperial court. Now it seems that you have made a lot of progress in the past two years. From now on It will be good for you to visit the cabinet more often and ask for advice."
"It's not just you, King Shu, King Qi. I used to witness the difficulty of Emperor Taizu's creation of the imperial industry with one sword and one shot. Now you are only the third generation. Although the imperial industry is flourishing, it is not yet completely stable. We all have to look up to you. Only by understanding Taizu's hardships and being loyal and responsible can we live up to the king's responsibilities."
This is true. Indeed, it takes three generations to be stable. Even though more than half of it has gone by now, it is still not perfect.
Perhaps three generations later, it won't matter whether the prince is wise or foolish, or whether he is ineffective or not. Unity and dedication are still needed now.
It's just that Su Ziji, who is level 16 in the way of being an official, already understands these words.
But when the King of Shu and the King of Qi heard the emperor's words, they were more disgusted than eating flies, and they immediately burst into unknown anger - you praised the king and asked us uncles to follow suit. Isn't it too shameful for us? ?
Is it possible that you really want to make the king a grandson and make us your slaves in advance?
The emperor glanced expectantly, but found that King Shu and King Qi were looking at each other. King Shu still said feebly: "My father taught me that my sons must be cautious and do their best."
The King of Qi responded with a sullen face. The emperor looked at the silent King with disappointment and said in awe: "I have done my best on behalf of the king, and now that I have a son, I can expand the branches of the clan. Reward the prince with double salary."
With that said, regardless of the uproar caused, he waved his hand: "As long as I am here, your celebration will not be lively. Go back to the palace!"
With that said, he took the queen and drove back to the palace.
"My sons (grandsons) respectfully send off the Emperor and the Empress." The King of Dai led the crowd to send the Emperor and Empress off respectfully, and today's banquet began.
Even if you are in a bad mood at the banquet, you can only hold on until the full moon breaks up.
"asshole!"
King Qi came out of Prince Dai's Mansion. As soon as he got back to the car, he hit the car board with his right palm and cursed angrily.
The prince's cars are very spacious, where you can not only drink tea, have snacks, but even take a nap.
After King Qi was helped into the chariot, servants followed him up.
There is a secret door next to it, which is usually closed and opened when in use. There are tea sets and kettles inside.
At this time, there is boiling hot water inside, which is filled with a special small pot. It will not cool down for half an hour. Put the good tea leaves into the cup and pour the hot water.
The servant carefully brought it to King Qi: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
"Get out!" The tea bowl was swept down by King Qi, and broke into several pieces with a crack.
With this drop, the hot water inside splashed directly on the servant.
But in the prince's rage, the servant was so burned that his expression was distorted, but he had no time to care about it. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
King Qi's violent eyes swept over him coldly, and then he looked out the car window, his teeth chattering.
"Damn..."
The servant trembled, wishing he had not been in the car and had not heard these words.
I don't even dare to guess who the prince is scolding.
On one side, King Shu came out of Prince Dai's Mansion with a smile on his face.
Dai Wang sent the two kings to the door and stopped.
The King of Shu walked slower than the King of Qi, and seemed very happy that his nephew had a son.
But when he got back to his car, his face darkened.
"Your Majesty?" Following him was not a servant, but an aide, Ma Youliang. Seeing the look on the King of Shu's face, he couldn't help but ask: "Just now, Cai Chen saw that the imperial chariot had arrived. The emperor and the empress were both here..."
"Hmph, not only did he come, he also gave me a reward and held the child."
"Forget about being rewarded with double salary, he also lectured us, saying that we uncles should learn from the king. Huh, my father seems to be very satisfied with the king." King Shu said with a cold face.
"The emperor actually values the son of the king so much?" Ma Youliang was also a little surprised.
The reason why the queen was not mentioned is naturally because the queen likes the son of the king. This is a normal thing.
In terms of blood relationship, other princes, grandsons and the queen have no relationship.
The prince is the son of the prince, and the son of the prince is the great-grandson of the queen. This is a direct relative, and it is natural that the queen will like it.
But to the emperor, no matter whose son he was, he was dear to him. As for grandchildren and great-grandchildren, naturally they are all relatives, no different.
The emperor's previous attitude towards King Dai was seen by the people of the King of Shu. They did not think that the emperor valued Dai Wang so he sharpened his skills. It was clear that he used King Dai as a whetstone.
Why did your attitude suddenly change?
Ma Youliang was puzzled, and so was the King of Shu. As the ox cart turned around and left, he also left with unwillingness and confusion.
However, many officials who came to visit did not leave in a hurry. Not only did they witness the scene of the emperor and empress arriving in person, but they also vaguely saw the scene of the two kings of Qi and Shu leaving with ugly expressions.
They couldn't help but whisper, saying that the two kings of Qi and Shu would be depressed if they went back this time.
"I'm afraid it's not just for a while. Recently, everyone should be more careful not to run into the hands of those two." Someone reminded.
Some officials couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "After all, he is a direct grandson. What's the difference?"
"Shh!" When he was about to say something else, someone reminded him with a wink.
Everyone immediately stopped talking when they saw an official striding out of Prince Dai's Mansion. It was none other than Yin Tanping of Shuntian Mansion.
