Changjing, political affairs hall.
Changxian, the prince who oversees the country, is sitting on the dragon chair.
No courtier felt that it was against the law.
It has nothing to do with Huang Laosi's imperial edict. Even if there was no edict that inexplicably asked the prince to sit on the dragon throne to supervise the government and start the dynasty, everyone would not feel that it was against the law for the prince to sit on the dragon throne.
In the imperial edict, in addition to asking the prince to sit on the dragon chair and supervise the country, he also named a king. The prince who should have been named a long time ago but has not yet decided on the title, King Qin.
King of Qin, this is the title of Chu Qing. Among the seven kings, the title is the most noble. Chang Chengqing, the commander of Dachang Qianqi Camp, deserves his title.
In a short sentence, the prince wanted to tell the whole world in front of many courtiers what kind of feelings he, the future king, had towards Chu Qing.
As a teacher, the knowledge taught is not for the emperor, but for the people. The word "people" determines the rise and fall of the family and the country.
Like friends, laughing and scolding, telling interesting things about the world, listening to his words is like looking at the mountains and rivers of the world.
This is the prince's feelings for Chu Qing. A teacher only taught one word, one word, word, for the people, word, for the people. If you understand this word, you can understand the world. If you understand this word, you can govern. In a good world, the simplest truth is the most difficult thing to do.
Another friend, a friend who treats her sincerely, shares happiness, and gives him the joy of childhood that he should not enjoy.
The prince on the dragon throne was smiling and talking endlessly. It could be said that he had lost the majesty and magnanimity that a prince should have.
The court officials also did not feel that there was any violation and felt that it was natural.
With a standard not seen since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he walked a hundred miles and welcomed the victorious soldiers three days later.
The victorious soldiers include the Emperor of Dachang, the Supreme Emperor, the eldest princess who holds hundreds of thousands of troops, and His Highness the King of Qin who has made many achievements, as well as Chu Wensheng, the commander-in-chief of Beiguan, the military god of the Dachang Dynasty.
The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel are the busiest.
There are too many people to be canonized.
The Ministry of Personnel is doing better, but the officials in the Ministry of Rites cannot sleep for more than two hours a day.
Because Qiu Wanshan, the Minister of Rites, said that after His Highness the King of Qin returns to Beijing, he will marry Tao Ruolin, the eldest daughter of the Prince's Young Master's residence. It has not yet been the fourth year of Zhengxing, but this event will definitely become the most grand event in the fourth year of Zhengxing.
For the first time, the prince used money from the inner treasury to build the Prince's Palace, which is also the Prince Qin's Palace.
You must know that many times the emperor's money bag is actually the money bag of the courtiers.
If the country has no money but the emperor has money, then when the courtiers need money, they will cry and ask for money from the emperor.
Huang Laosi never told the courtiers how much money he had in his treasury.
But this time, the courtiers not only raised no objections, but also wanted the treasury to allocate some money to build the Qin Palace together. The reason was difficult to refuse. Chu Qing had made great achievements in war, conquering the east and west. In just a few years, the territory of Dachang Dynasty had been greatly improved. The expansion is directly related to him. For such a big beast... a great hero, the court should pay some money.
In short, they showed their love for Chu Qing.
But everyone knows that there are many kinds of love. Sometimes, love comes from fear.
Some people are counting the days, hoping for the stars and the moon, and hoping that Lao Chang and his family will return to Beijing soon.
Some people count the days, write suicide notes, and live every day, eating one meal or missing one meal.
There are still ten days before the end of the New Year, and there is heavy snowfall one after another, and Changjing is covered in silver.
Two men in Confucian robes walked in the snow, followed only by an old man with a pale face and a beardless man and a man with a scar on his chin.
Chu Qing's face was full of dissatisfaction: "It would be great to come back together. We have to run back in advance without stopping. This is not a surprise, but a shock."
Huang Laosi said cheerfully: "I have lived in the palace for a long time, but I always feel that the capital and Fourth Brother are so close yet so far away. There is a wall between them. The palace wall seems to be isolating Fourth Brother and me in the clouds. Look, I always You need to take a good look at it.”
"Then why don't you ask Lao Jiu to watch with you."
"Oh, Lao Jiu doesn't know a thing. He didn't get involved in many things. It's all thanks to our brothers. He just knew how to stay lazy when there were so many things."
Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and just walked casually with the fourth child.
The two of them had already entered the city two hours ago without alerting anyone. It was Lao Si's idea that the large force would not arrive in the capital for three days.
After walking for a while, the fourth child became a little unhappy: "Everyone in the country knows that I am returning to the capital. Why can't there be any clues in the capital?"
Chu Qing was too lazy to respond.
The more senior a person is, the more important they think they are.
It is true that it is important, but it is only important to people who are also in high positions.
This is Bei City, so naturally nothing can be seen.
Because here are all common people. To the common people, the powerful, even the emperor, and all the big shots are too far away. Those who are close are just the women and children on the bed, the rice noodles in the rice vat, and the tiles above their heads to protect them from the wind and rain. piece.
When a big shot is farther away from the common people, the common people are less able to "care" about things that have nothing to do with them, unless the big shot is very close and can find a dark place to lock him up, or can label him casually. , even knowing that his son is a weakness.
After walking for a while, Huang Laosi said angrily: "I thought the people were putting up lanterns and colors, as if nothing happened."
"When we first arrived in Nanshi, many people said that the owner of Mingcha House was pregnant with a daughter. Why didn't you go and congratulate her?"
"I went to say congratulations, but I don't know them well..."
After being stunned for a moment, Huang Laosi smiled and said: "I am the emperor, and my boss is just an ordinary person, how can I be confused with the same thing?"
"Then let me put it this way, if you were an ordinary person and the emperor returned home in triumph, would you save money and buy some red cloth to hang at home, or would you take the initiative to kneel down and wait for a few hours by splashing water on the loess pavement to clean the street?"
"this…"
"If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely not care about things that have nothing to do with you."
"But Fourth Brother, I am the emperor. I have fought abroad and conquered a huge territory, but the people in the capital are indifferent. It seems... Oh, I don't say unpleasant words, but I feel that these people are not understanding at all."
"Be considerate?" Chu Yuan laughed dumbly: "What does it mean to be considerate? Do you have to make yourself happy to make others happy? I know what you mean. Believe me, there will be such a day. You can't see it now, just because you do... It’s just that the court didn’t do a good enough job, the people are still suffering, but we can’t see it.”
"Yes, what do the common people want from the court? Nowadays, there are hundreds of academies for poor families, and all the sons of the common people can enroll in them. The court has allocated millions of dollars in food and supplies, and has built many drug stores and medical centers that do not charge money..."
"It's not what you think, there's something deeper."
Chu Qing looked at the people coming and going and said with emotion: "The pain of the people is not the real pain, but the values projected to them by society. These values are mixed together and change their thinking. These thoughts, These thoughts belonging to the common people are attacking themselves all the time invisibly, and this is the source of their pain."
Huang Laosi suddenly realized: "That's it."
"Do you understand, that's what you are?"
"without."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes: "You are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but you can't even eat. How can you be loyal to the emperor and patriotic? If you are not loyal to the emperor and patriotic, you are a villain with no shame and no feelings. In the end, you really think that you are a villain. You are contradictory and struggling." , helpless, but in the final analysis, they paid but did not get anything in return. Is it them who is wrong? No, it is the court. The court not only wants them to be loyal and patriotic, but also does not let them have enough to eat, and also subtly makes them think that they are really It’s a villain, who’s to blame?”
"I understand what you said, Fourth Brother."
"You know shit. If you understood, you wouldn't happily say you understand."
"Okay, fourth brother doesn't understand."
Chu Qing sighed.
He doesn't expect Huang Laosi to understand, but he knows that there will be such a day. Before this day comes, he and the Chang family still have many, many things to do.
Huang Laosi turned around and looked at Fu San: "Fu San, come here and walk side by side with me."
Fu San walked over quickly and followed Huang Laosi to the left.
"Can you understand what your young master said?"
The third brother's emotional intelligence is quite high: "Even His Majesty doesn't understand, how can I understand this?"
"Don't you know the most? You can talk nonsense better than your young master. When you were in Liuhe, you scolded the court to death. Why are you speechless now? If you don't understand, you are bound to do it today. You know, if you don’t say one, two, three, I will fine Sun An... one year’s salary."
Sun An: "..."
Fu San had no expression on his face: "Your Majesty, are you confused?"
"Yes, I understand some of what the tenth brother said, but I don't understand everything. Looking at him, he seems to be heartbroken. After listening to what he said, and looking at the appearance of the people, I don't know why I am also a little heartbroken, heartbroken, and confused."
"The little one... just dares to talk nonsense?"
"explain!"
"When I was young, I realized that the reason why people are confused and in pain is because good or evil is not pure enough."
Huang Laosi was stunned and stopped moving forward. He was silent for a long time and sighed: "Let's go on."
