Daxia Wensheng

Chapter 51 The prince enters the palace, and the mountains and rains are coming
Daxia Palace.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Rows of courtiers knelt outside the hall. These were officials from the Ministry of Rites, plus some Confucian officials.

The leader is Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty, please take it back."

"It is common sense for the prince to supervise the country. If the responsibility of supervising the country is abolished, the hearts of the people will be shaken, and ethics will collapse if it is serious."

"Furthermore, it is far-fetched to implicate the crown prince in the misfortune of the shogunate. Your majesty is wise, and you should follow the way of a sage."

Yang Kai's voice was loud.

He knelt outside the hall for a long time.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not kneel down to worship, but now kneeling down, it is obvious that their attitude is firm.

And this moment.

A few figures came quickly, it was Eunuch Wei Xian, and the person in front of him was the Duke of Daxia Town.

Old man Gu walks like a dragon and a tiger.

Walk towards the hall.

When Yang Kai and the others saw Duke Zhen coming, their expressions changed slightly.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, most of the court supported the crown prince, and this Duke of Zhen Guo was the sweet potato in the eyes of all the princes.

Whether it is the crown prince, the second prince or the third prince, they all want to win over Duke Zhen.

But Zhen Guogong didn't choose any prince, instead he took care of himself alone.

Coming today made them feel a little uneasy.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites supported the crown prince, and they had feuds with generals on weekdays. If something like this happened today, it would be really troublesome if Duke Zhen said something that was not pleasant to listen to.

However, most people were worried, but Yang Kai was very calm.

He knew who Zhen Guogong was, and at this critical point, Zhen Guogong should not act recklessly.

"Veteran Gu Yuan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever."

next moment.

Duke Zhen appeared outside the hall.

"The Duke of Zhen is here."

"Hurry up please."

Hearing Lord Zhen Guo's voice, Emperor Yongsheng was all smiles and said in a hearty voice.

Soon, Lord Zhen Guo walked towards the hall.

"Duke, long time no see. A few days ago, I said I would invite the Duke to come to the palace for a talk, but I didn't expect the Duke to come by himself."

"Come, give me a seat."

Hearty laughter rang out, and Emperor Yongsheng bestowed a seat on Old Master Gu.

But the latter did not sit down, but looked at the emperor instead.

"Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will think twice about the matter of the crown prince supervising the country."

"Now the Great Xia Dynasty enjoys peace and prosperity. There is neither war nor civil strife. The crown prince is in charge of the country. He is dedicated to his career and is extremely diligent. This imperial decree is issued, I am afraid it will cause trouble."

Zhen Guo said publicly that his attitude was clear, and his eyes were extremely firm, looking at the emperor.

Since ancient times, the position of the prince has been terrifying, involving too much, and it is not as simple as benefits.

Once the crown prince falls or is abolished, the troubles will be like a flood of beasts, unless the crown prince really has a serious problem, otherwise, it is really unwise to shake the position of the crown prince.

"Okay, okay."

"Duke, I thought you came here today to reminisce about the old days, but I never thought it was because of this matter."

"The imperial decree has been proclaimed, how can I take back my order at will?"

In front of the jade case, Emperor Yongsheng was not moved at all when he heard Mr. Gu's words, but his tone was calm.

"His Majesty."

"This matter."

Old Master Gu continued to speak, but Emperor Yongsheng's words silenced him.

"It seems that the Duke has also joined the prince?"

The voice sounded, and Mr. Gu was at a loss for words.

But after a while, the old man shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister just doesn't want the country to be shaken. The responsibility of supervising the country has been the responsibility of the crown prince since ancient times. If it is canceled today, I'm afraid it will lead to countless speculations. I'm afraid people will be panicked from the court to the people. "

Old man Gu still spoke.

Although he had a grudge against civil servants, he did not choose to stand with the crown prince, but the big issue was that he had to stand up, no matter what.

"Oh?"

"According to the meaning of the Duke, if I withdraw the crown prince to supervise the country today, the Great Xia Dynasty will fall apart?"

"As for from ancient times to the present? Does the Duke imply that I am not in the right position?"

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

After saying these words, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down one after another, especially Wei Xian and the others knelt on the ground in panic.

This is too scary.

"Your Majesty forgive me."

"The old minister has no such intention."

At this moment, even Mr. Gu's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Because the words are too extreme.

Let him not know what to say.

On the jade case.

Emperor Yongsheng also seemed silent.

But after a while, he calmed down.

"Kingdom."

"I don't mean that."

"It's just that if you take a look outside, it's just to withdraw the responsibility of supervising the country, and the memorials are pouring in like snowflakes. I also heard that Yushitai has jointly signed the memorial."

"It's even less than half an hour after the decree was announced, and officials from 72 counties and [-] provinces came to perform."

"The prince is really benevolent and generous. Half of the officials in the court belong to him. I often wonder if I have stayed in this position for too long?"

Emperor Yongsheng spoke, but he didn't have any anger.

But when these words came out, Mr. Gu was even more frightened.

"Your Majesty, don't think about it."

"The crown prince is diligent and conscientious in supervising the country, and the officials only abide by ethics and morality. The gift of a big country is not to form a party for personal gain."

"Moreover, there are people in the world who do not respect their fathers. Sons respecting their fathers is a matter of the country and the root of Confucianism and Taoism. Please don't think too much about it, Your Majesty."

Duke Zhen took a deep breath and said so.

"I hope so."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke indifferently.

Then he looked at Guogong again.

"The Duke came here today, why didn't he bring my nephew?"

He made a sound, changed the subject, and didn't continue to say anything on this topic.

"Jinnian is still resting, and he has been tired these few days."

Duke Zhen made a sound, and when he mentioned Gu Jinnian, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"indeed."

"I never imagined that this kid, Jinnian, could write eternal articles."

"I have to say, having my royal blood is strong."

"Ha ha ha ha."

It seemed that Gu Jinnian was mentioned, and Emperor Yongsheng was also in a good mood, and even boasted without hesitation.

But when he said this, Mr. Gu smiled subtly.

Seeing the other party's expression, Emperor Yongsheng became a little more serious.

"Duke Zhen, don't think I'm boasting."

"Think about it for yourself, is your Gu family a group of warriors? Especially your six sons, except for Qian Zhou, the other five are all crooked?"

"Especially that Gu Lao Liu, who spoils Jinnian all day long, and I will have to beat him up in a few days."

"Jin Nian was born to my younger sister Ning Yue. She has half of the royal blood, which is why she has such talent. Now that I think about it, I still regret it. If I knew it, I would have let Ning Yue marry a civil servant."

"Maybe he will become a great Confucian at the age of 16, and show off the prestige of our country."

Emperor Yongsheng said very seriously.

But after saying this, Mr. Gu couldn't stand it anymore.

Originally, you were angry before, and I coaxed you to make you happy.

But, you're boasting too much, right?
"Your Majesty, what you said is a bit wrong. Jinnian has been carried by veterans since he was a child. There is a saying called teaching by example."

"Jinnian's achievements like this cannot be separated from the royal family, but the most important thing is the painstaking cultivation of the veterans."

Regarding this topic, Mr. Gu did not give an inch. Anyway, the biggest credit is his own.

"Laughed."

"Didn't you hear what Jin Nian said yesterday?"

"Isn't that what I usually teach him?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, next time I come, let Jinnian come over. I still have some experience recently, so I have to teach him well. By the way, that Gu Laoliu of your family, let him stay away from Jinnian. Don't harm my precious nephew."

Emperor Yongsheng didn't want to argue about this topic, anyway, justice is at ease, and this is not what he said, but the common people.

He is more confident.

"Oh."

Mr. Gu didn't continue talking, after all, the other party was the emperor, so he still had to give way.

"Come on, Duke, just read the article written by my nephew."

Emperor Yongsheng continued to speak, looking very happy, and asked the eunuch to fetch Gu Jinnian's article.

Then put it on the table.

The old man also regained his spirits. Although he knew that his grandson had written an article through the ages, he still didn't know what he wrote.

Naturally, I can't wait now.

Soon, the article spread out.

Emperor Yongsheng pointed to the article with a proud face.

"Look at the handwriting, it looks a lot like me. Tsk tsk, Jinnian looks like a tiger, but he has been secretly imitating me."

"Actually, if you want to learn, just tell me, my family, why bother to hide it."

he said with a smile.

And Lord Zhen also read the article seriously, and after about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Gu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"A strategy for the country."

"It's really a strategy to fix the country. I never thought that this short sentence is less than a thousand words, but it actually tells the core of the past dynasties."

"The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the light."

"A good people is precious."

Zhen Guo said publicly that he didn't think there was anything wrong with this article.

And it is in line with Daxia's national will.

Why?

Because Taizu was an uprising of ordinary people back then, he cared most about the people.

After Emperor Yongsheng took the throne, he imitated Taizu everywhere and carried forward Taizu's policies one by one.

Naturally, if this article is in the eyes of future kings, it may cause trouble, after all, kings come first.

But this article was completely different in front of Emperor Yongsheng, and it won the heart of the emperor.

Naturally, the Zhen Guo Guild said this.

"That's why I said that Jinnian is like me. I remember that when Jinnian was six or seven years old, I said that the people are the most precious. I didn't expect Jinnian to remember it, hahahahaha ,Not bad."

Emperor Yongsheng once again boasted.

But Zhen Guogong on the side ignored it, but read the article with many thoughts in his mind.

Gu Jinnian was able to write such an article, putting the common people first, and it was doomed that his grandson's future would be limitless.

He rebelled with Taizu. Although he was not the first batch, he was also from a poor family. In fact, he didn't like the word rich and powerful from the bottom of his heart.

And Jinnian's idea also won his favor.

Because the greatest confidence of the courtiers is not the imperial power, but the public opinion.

Standing in the situation of the people and doing practical things for the people, then you will forge an extremely sharp sword, which is more than enough to kill the enemy or protect yourself.

Jinnian can think of this, he is really satisfied, extremely satisfied.

"Your Majesty, can this article be taken away by the veteran?"

Zhen Guo said publicly.

"No."

"I'll have someone transcribe it for you later."

"I want to commend this article."

Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth, and directly asked Zhen Guogong to retreat, taking care of the article carefully, for fear of any loss.

"mean."

Mr. Gu snorted coldly in his heart, at worst, let his grandson copy it again.

"His Majesty."

"The old minister took his leave first."

Old man Gu opened his mouth, since he can't be persuaded, it's fine.

"Okay, go back and let Jinnian go to the palace."

"I miss him a lot, but Daxia Academy is coming soon, let's see what Jinnian means."

Emperor Yongsheng made a mention.

Mr. Gu just nodded.

They left slowly.

After the old man left, the people from the Ministry of Rites were still kneeling outside.

At this moment.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Yongsheng quietly looked at the courtiers kneeling outside.

In the eyes, but very calm.

After about a moment.

A eunuch came over and whispered a few words into Wei Xian's ear slowly.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Xian walked over.

"His Majesty."

"Just now when Duke Guo left the palace, Minister of the Ministry of Officials appeared and walked with Duke Guo."

"Do you need to send someone to watch?"

Wei Xian opened his mouth and told Emperor Yongsheng.

"Need not."

"The officials are doing this because they want to win over Jinnian."

"I'd like to see what the crown prince will do, and what the second and third will do."

Emperor Yongsheng's tone was calm.

It seems that everything is in his calculation.

"According to the order."

Wei Xian nodded and didn't say much.

"Wei Xian."

"How about the flood investigation in Jiangning County?"

He continued to speak, asking about state affairs.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the spies reported that the flood disaster is not as terrible as imagined, and the local rich merchants are also stockpiling food. If there is a real flood."

"The grain and grass are stable, so it shouldn't cause major disasters, but we still need to investigate deeply."

Wei Xian opened his mouth, and what he said was impeccable.

"Row."

"Let the spies investigate carefully, and don't let go of any clues."

After saying this.

He continued to speak.

"Has the Chang Ying army been dispatched?"

As soon as the words were said, the latter spoke immediately.

"General Chang Wei has led [-] elite troops to station outside the capital, ready to dispatch at any time."

Wei Xian spoke.

The latter nodded.

But his eyes were still fixed on the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

There is quite a feeling that the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is all over the building.
