In the past few years, the prince has always been careless about the political affairs he has dealt with, and has refused to take any responsibility. He focused his main energy on the internal strife with his two brothers from the same mother. Now he is trying every possible means to win over the ministers of the DPRK and China, placing his own team in the DPRK and building his own small gang.
Compared to the prince who was increasingly disappointing him, this prince had a courageous and resolute character. Although he is a bit too naughty in handling things. But in terms of skill and willingness to bear far more than the prince. At least the courage to take on this responsibility is far beyond what the prince can compare with. It is somewhat similar to when I was young.
"Okay, I understand. Don't always think about why you are suspicious of this matter. Do not trust others when you doubt others, and do not doubt when you employ people. Do I still need you to teach me? I still say the same thing, Just do what you have to do, don't think too much. With me supporting you, what do you have to fear?"
"Rumors, as long as you don't pay attention to them, will naturally subside over time. As for this matter, I will not wrongly blame a good person, let alone let go of a bad person." Obviously I don't want to mention this. The emperor, who was continuing the topic, waved his hand to stop Huang Qiong's next words.
"Today, I have stayed here long enough, and it's time to return to the palace. Your proposal is a bit too radical, so I won't take it back. But the proposal of your staff is okay. , I will take it back to the palace and consider it carefully. Your staff is quite good, and he is much older than you."
"Remember my words, as a superior, you should listen more to the advice of your subordinates to make fewer mistakes. You are young and energetic, so you should listen more and watch more. Some things cannot be accomplished with passion alone. As small as governing a county, When it comes to governing a country, everything must be done with stability. I know your thoughts, and you are worried that land annexation will trigger civil unrest."
"Besides, what you said is right. Food is the most important thing for the people. If the people don't have enough to eat, they will rebel. It's not like I haven't seen the seriousness of the matter, so I have been thinking about it these days. I also know, You have always disagreed with my statement that the clan belongs to Da Qi. But no matter what, you must understand that the stability of the clan is directly related to the survival of Da Qi."
"When Emperor Taizu divided the clans into clans, it was not only to avoid the situation in Daqi where brothers, nephews and nephews often raised armies to fight for the throne like in the previous dynasty. He also used clan clans from various places to assist the royal family to avoid repeating the situation in the previous dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of the royal family were left in the same pot. So the clan is not immobilized, but it needs to consider some things."
"You must remember these words of mine. You should look at the overall situation in everything, and take a longer-term view. Don't just look at one point. Although quick success and quick gain can solve temporary difficulties, it is not a long-term solution after all. Okay. Yes, you can draft a new document according to these terms and submit it to the palace tomorrow."
After hearing the emperor's words, Huang Qiong quickly knelt down and said: "What my father is teaching me is that I am thinking the wrong way. After all, I am still young and my view of things is too one-sided. I will definitely respect my father from now on." His teachings, listen more, watch more and learn more, and never let down your father’s expectations and love.”
Having said this, Huang Qiong gritted his teeth and said: "Father, if you are determined to completely solve the clan problem, you should give Yongye Field as a salary system. I am willing to take the lead in giving up Yongye Field to make things better for brothers and clans all over the world. Set an example. I ask my father for your permission for this small, heartless request."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, the emperor did not answer him immediately. Instead, she stared at him and pondered for a long time, then waved her hand and said: "It's good that you have this intention, but let's not talk about it for today. I just said that I will carefully consider the issue of the clan, you Just don’t say anything more.”
After signaling Huang Qiong to stand up, the emperor turned his head and glanced at Jia Quan, who was standing behind Huang Qiong respectfully. He smiled and said, "Are you the one who sold his body to bury his father? Yes, your talent can be said to be agile. You My master is young and vigorous, and as his staff, you must be good at admonishing him."
"I have heard those words of yours before about being a wise man, and they are really good. Assisting your master loyally will be of great benefit to you in the future."
"The common people thank Your Majesty for your grace. The common people are just ordinary people, and they definitely don't dare to have any ambitions. It's just that my father passed away and there was no money to bury him. Thanks to the prince's intervention, he was able to rest in peace. The common people now only want to do their duty as subordinates. I have no other thoughts than to repay the kindness of the prince."
After hearing the emperor's words, Jia Quan, who was always quick-witted and couldn't figure out what the emperor meant today, could only kneel down and reply. As for the emperor knowing about him, Jia Quan was not surprised. But in response to the emperor's words, he did not dare to give himself a needle point, so he used it as a mallet. Heaven’s heart is unpredictable. Who knows what the emperor means behind these words?
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the emperor just smiled meaningfully, raised his hand to signal him to get up, and said nothing. He turned to Huang Qiong and said, "Ajiu, take me to see that person."
The emperors of this dynasty used nicknames for their princes, which were basically similar to those of the former Tang Dynasty. When they get older, they will be called by their rank. Huang Qiong grew up in a cold palace and did not have a nickname given by the emperor. His mother usually calls him Qiong'er, but she also doesn't give him any nicknames like Zhinu or Qingque in the former Tang Dynasty.
Since the father and son met, the emperor usually called him by the name Shiren gave him. Sometimes when I get angry with myself, I call myself banned. This is the first time for me to be called such an intimate person. Huang Qiong was startled when he heard this Ah Jiu, and it took him a long time to realize that he was addressing himself.
Although the emperor did not specify who he wanted to see, Huang Qiong still knew who that person was in his own palace in Hejian County. Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, Huang Qiong said quickly: "Father, you have also met this man. You know that he has a stubborn character and is an uneducated mountain villager."
"I was worried that he didn't know etiquette and rushed into my father. What's more, although his external injuries have begun to heal, the bone injuries in his lower limbs are far from healed and he can't salute. I thought that if I wait a few days, Once his wounds have healed a little longer, will I be bringing him to see you?"
Huang Qiong really couldn't figure out what the emperor meant by asking to see Liu Hu at this time. However, it wasn't that Huang Qiong didn't want Liu Hu to see the emperor, he was just worried that this somewhat reckless guy would really bump into the emperor. After Liu Hu woke up, he was furious when he learned that he had entered the prince's palace.
Claiming that he would rather die in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion than accept the favor of their royal family. It's just that although this guy has a bit of a stubborn temper, he has one advantage that others can't compare to. That is, this guy is afraid of his wife, and he is obviously not afraid of his wife in general.
When he was making trouble, his wife just said a word and stayed at the Hejian County Prince's Mansion to recuperate. He was recovering from his injuries, but he didn't have a good look at Huang Qiong, the local owner who saved his life. Huang Qiong was worried that if this guy had a bad temper and contradicted the emperor, what would he do?
"It doesn't matter, I still have this sense of humility, otherwise how can I be a king? Last time we met, although this person was a little rougher in temperament, he was still straightforward, and I kind of liked him. So, you don't have to worry about taking me with you. Just go." The emperor was somewhat disapproving of Huang Qiong's worries.
Seeing the emperor's persistence, Huang Qiong could only give up the idea of asking the emperor to give up. He personally led the way and led the emperor towards Liu Hu's residence. Fortunately, although Liu Hu was a bit rude, with his wife here, he didn't have to worry too much about this guy's henpeck character.
Sure enough, Liu Hu did not change his stubborn temper just because the person who came was the emperor. Although there was no public contradiction, what he said was somewhat unpleasant to listen to. Think about it, even though the person in front of you is a nine-five-year-old man. But it was one of his sons who turned a well-off family into a refugee like a beggar.
Another one of his ministers almost killed him. They pay taxes and food according to regulations, and they don't owe you anything to the royal family. Your royal son just gave birth to a good child, but he ruined his family and made him impoverished. Throw away that layer of identity, and it is really difficult for people to respect you.
Compared with Huang Qiong in front of the emperor, although he did not hide anything for Jing Zhaoyin, he was still covering up some things and did not tell so much truth. But Liu Hu was not so polite. Although he did not add any exaggeration, he did say what he had to say. As more evil deeds of Jing Zhaoyin were told from Liu Hu's mouth, the emperor's expression became darker.
Listening to this guy's unceremonious and even confrontational tone, Huang Qiong's back almost broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, maybe the emperor really has a big belly, or he is not as knowledgeable as a commoner. For the conflict in this guy's words, instead of blaming him, he could actually comfort him.
After just one conversation, Huang Qiong's back was almost soaked with cold sweat. After seeing the emperor off, Huang Qiong let out a long breath, and there was almost no strength left in his body. This sudden pick-up really made Huang Qiong a little exhausted. After returning to the study, Huang Qiong was still trying to figure out the emperor's intention of coming today.
Moreover, after learning about the rumors in the palace from the emperor, Huang Qiong had been worried about her mother. There is always an urge to go to the palace to see my mother. Although these two days are not the days for Dingsheng, Huang Qiong believes that there is no problem in entering the palace without being discovered based on his Qinggong foundation.
It's just that although he missed his mother in his heart, he also knew that his emperor, although he said it was easy, would never take any precautions. Now listening to the surroundings of Xuexuan, it is impossible for people not to monitor. Although my Qinggong skills are relatively good, there are many capable people in the palace. I don't have the confidence to really avoid all possible gazes.
Who can guarantee that the old man's words today are not to test him? With the old man's character, he definitely doesn't think this rumor is just making trouble out of nothing. It's just that he also knows his mother's character, so he doesn't even think about getting answers from her.
Who can guarantee that what he said today is not because he wanted to start from himself after a bad experience with his mother? Thinking of this, even if Huang Qiong was worried about her mother, she could only suppress the idea of entering the palace to find out the truth. He was worried that if he entered the palace hastily, he might put his mother in danger.
