Seeing that the emperor looked normal, except for a slightly gloomy complexion, his mental condition was much better than that of the previous dynasty. Gao Gong and other foreign court officials could not say anything, so they had to retreat as ordered. Empress Chen and Concubine Li looked at each other. Both of them had an indescribable worry in their eyes, but they couldn't express it in their mouths at this moment, because it was against the order, so they had to retreat.
Gao Pingshi was a little embarrassed because he had not received the emperor's explicit order and did not know whether he should resign and leave or continue to follow the prince - after all, it was not time to "get off work" yet.
The emperor had already taken the lead, followed closely by the prince.
When Zhu Yijun passed by Gao Jingshi, he happened to see him in a dilemma. He was stunned for a moment, and then by accident, he waved to Gao Jingshi, motioning for him to follow.
Gao Pragmatic actually had no interest in following Zhu Yijun to accompany the emperor, because he expected that the emperor might have something to say to the prince alone. As an outsider, he would not have the chance to listen if he followed. It would be better to go to the cabinet to find the third uncle and the teacher. Discuss countermeasures.
It stands to reason that Gao Jingshi is not qualified to enter and leave the cabinet at any time, even if Gao Gong is his third uncle and Guo Pu is his teacher. However, before he could not stand it, he suggested that the prince observe the government. Later, this suggestion was not only implemented, but also seemed likely to become a common practice.
In this way, because he has to discuss with the cabinet and select the votes that are submitted to the prince every day to watch the government, as the prince's companion, he has the responsibility to contact the cabinet - in fact, according to the custom of the palace, this matter Feng Bao, as the chief ceremonial officer Bingbi and the prince's first companion, was more suitable than Gao Pragmatic.
However, after all, Gao Gong was in charge of the cabinet. He was very disgusted with eunuchs being too involved in politics, so he directly explained to the emperor that the prince's companion was an official in the Imperial Academy, while Zuo Yude, the pragmatic and pragmatic official of Zhan Shifu, was an official in the East Palace. The political matter came from his suggestion, so this matter should be left to Gao Pragmatic, not Feng Bao.
The emperor knew Gao Gong's character. He liked to take care of things and could take care of things, but he usually focused on things rather than people. So since he thought that Gao Gong was more suitable than Feng Bao, it should be mainly from the perspective of doing things. Gao Gong was more pragmatic than Feng Bao. Feng Bao is suitable.
So the emperor approved it without saying a word. In this way, Gao Pragmatic has the power to enter and leave the cabinet at any time - in the name of "Prince Zuo watching politics."
But now he was summoned by Zhu Yijun out of nowhere, and his plan to go to the cabinet to discuss countermeasures fell through, and he could only reluctantly follow Zhu Yijun.
As mentioned before, the emperor and the prince had ceremonial guards in the palace and could ride in sedan chairs, while other ministers, eunuchs, maids, etc. could only walk. At this moment, the emperor walked up to the imperial carriage and was about to get into the sedan chair, when he saw Zhu Yijun stepping forward and helping him lift the curtain of the sedan chair. He turned around and said, "Father, please."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, his heart felt warm, and he even felt a sore nose. However, the thoughts in his mind kept turning over and over again, and when he came out of his mouth, he turned into: "Jun'er, you are the prince, don't do this kind of thing. "
Who would have thought that the always obedient prince actually shook his head this time and said seriously: "Father, the prince is your son first."
Long Qing felt a warmth rush from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and his eyes suddenly became misty.
Looking at his eldest son who was becoming more and more sensible, Long Qing felt moved and satisfied. For a moment, he wanted to run to the Yongling Tomb in Tianshou Mountain and shout at his father who refused to even see him: Father, look at my good prince, this is filial piety!
Father, you can even give up the relationship between father and son, thinking that you are too great and forgetful of love. Little do you know that what you give up is not only the relationship between father and son, but also the filial piety that sets an example for the world.
Father, you practice Taoism alone, thinking that you can change your destiny against the will of heaven, but I only believe that destiny is determined by heaven, and I don't have to fight for everything.
The results of it? You have practiced Taoism until almost no one died, you have practiced Japanese chaos, you have cultivated the Gengshu Revolution, you have cultivated "The people of the world have not been loyal to Your Majesty for a long time"!
And I, neither the eldest son nor the virtuous son, can still become an emperor while sitting at home! If I don't fight, the treasury will become increasingly full; if I don't fight, the Japanese rebellion will subside; if I don't fight, the result will be that I become a vassal! I won’t argue, but the result will be astonishing all over the world!
Yes, everyone knows that you have means and powerful plans. You have become the young emperor when the vassal king came to the capital. With one move, you can force the veteran Yuan Fu to retreat. With the next move, you can stir up the world with your grand ceremony. You have the power of China. Fuck you. hand!
But so what? You have unparalleled power and power, yet you allowed Yan Song to force him to death and replace Xia Yan, finally turning a good country into a country with mediocre officials and mediocre soldiers, and a lack of fighting spirit in the army.
The most ridiculous thing is that you knew that Yan Song was not as talented as Xia Yan, but because Yan Song would not contradict you, you allowed him to dominate and rule the country, and eventually became the culprit in the world!
But I am not like that. I know that I have no ability to govern. I can only select the talented and appoint them and treat them as national officials, and then the world will be governed.
However, I still want to thank you, Father. Although you made a lot of mistakes, you did one thing very well, and that was to choose a good teacher for me, the best teacher in the world!
Mr. Gao is my Xia Yan!
Father, you judge others by yourself, thinking that everyone in the world only sees power. But although I am not good at tactics, I know that there are thousands of people's hearts. What some people want is not power at all, but the development of their talents and their reputation for eternity. !
Father, you are worried that Xia Yan will fool you and deceive you, and end up falling into Yan Song's trick; but I am not worried that Mr. Gao will deceive me, because I know that he doesn't even bother to do such a thing!
Father, God gave you Xia Yan, but you replaced him with Yan Song; God gave me Mr. Gao, but I will never allow a second Yan Song to appear!
Father, you know, you use your power to control the officials, and the officials will only use your power to deceive you. But I treat Mr. Gao with sincerity, so Mr. Gao can treat me with sincerity.
Just now I fainted in the great dynasty, and all the ministers were struggling, but Mr. Gao was the mainstay, and he did not hesitate to bear the charge of deceiving the emperor. After I woke up, everyone was alone and did not dare to ask why, but Mr. Gao was able to speak frankly and even had no fear of the emperor. The power of God.
If father, when you were in power, would you tolerate a minister like Mr. Gao? No, you can't, only I can, because I know that he is not trying to gain power, but is keeping his integrity.
His character and ethics are something that even I, the emperor, dare not face directly! However, since I can endure the ridicule and censure of those officials who pretend to be honest, how can I not tolerate loyal and honest ministers like Mr. Gao who are truly devoted to me?
It's a pity that my time may be running out. I don't know how long I have to live. If you give me another ten years... no, even if it's only five years, I will definitely be able to restore my ancestors' Zhao Zhao Huang Ming!
I don’t know what kind of Tao you have cultivated, but each of my brothers is in poorer health than the last. Even the doctors said they were born weak and had insufficient kidney essence.
That’s all, that’s all, maybe this is all God’s will. It's time for my good son to make some plans while he still has breath. He must not be allowed to imitate you as a grandfather. He thinks he has everything under control, but in fact he is being manipulated and applauded, leaving behind a fool. His reputation is slandered by everyone in the world.
Long Qing was thinking about something in his mind, but the doting look in his eyes gradually became stronger. After a while, he sighed, came back from his thoughts, and reached out to rub the prince's head.
At this moment, he does not have the majesty of an emperor, only the kindness of a father.
