Your Majesty will suffer

Spring goes to summer, and it's hot summer again.

Looking at the dark clouds piled up in the sky through the window, and the muffled thunder kept rolling in his ears, Nan Gongji couldn't help feeling restless again.Since the last time I committed a crime, except for my uncle's birthday visit last month, I have never stepped out of the palace gate!Although the court meeting is held every two days, "speaking politics" and "listening to books" must be done every day, so from sunrise to sunset, the time passes in the scrolls, why is it not boring?

At present, the members of the Political Council, whose temples are stained with frost, are still chattering endlessly, detailing the seriousness of foreign aggression from the Liang Dynasty to Tubo.

Although Nan Gongji used to read the books of sages and sages in the past, and seldom involved in state affairs, he still heard about the invasion of foreigners, but he never paid attention to it. Firstly, because he was young and inexperienced, no one was there. Tell him this in detail; secondly, what he has seen since he was a child is all scenes of singing and dancing, and living in a happy life, and what he hears is mostly the voice of singing praises, so how can he have thoughts of worry out of thin air?Because what he heard today really surprised him: it was a last resort for Shu to pay tribute to Daliang, not to mention, but now even the little-known Tubo is demanding hundreds of thousands from Shu every year under various names. Pass!Thinking to teach people how to endure?For a while, I couldn't help but shoot up the case, I can't wait to destroy it and hurry up!

This move startled the old man who was focusing on politics. He was stunned, but when he heard that it was for this reason, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "The border troubles have always existed. My lord doesn't want the people to experience war again, so It is an act of benevolence to show kindness to the outside world in order to seek peace in the frontier and make the people happy in their work!"

Nan Gongji disdained: "If you want to spend money to buy peace, what's the use of raising soldiers?"

The old minister shook his head and sighed secretly, "It's really a young man's spirit, but he doesn't know the world situation!" But he still couldn't point it out, so he stroked his beard, cupped his hands and said, "If you follow Your Highness, what should you do?"

Nan Gongji stood up with a flick of his sleeves: "I heard that the various parts of Tubo are scattered, people's hearts are not in harmony, and they don't teach, but they are more than fierce and not wise. And I have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Shu, so it should be easy to flatten Tubo !"

Some words made the old official who had been in politics for half his life unable to answer correctly.I had no choice but to bow down and say: "Your Highness is a young hero, and the veteran bows down!"

It was a long day, and I listened to the government until noon, and only had a short break before being urged by my servants to go to Wenyuan Hall to listen to books.

It is irritating to say, the dignified son, but at this time he also has to be controlled by the palace slaves, so he swallowed his anger!But in the end, it was all at the behest of his father.

The former servants of the Huang family around Nangongji, since that time, have been replaced by more teachers.His father sent Zhou Huaian to promote Song Mingxuan for him. This person was originally the guard of the Xingsi Palace. Because of his prudence and meticulousness, he was valued by his father. He was sent to Nangong Ji to take care of the routine.

Zhou Huaian had only come to Songmingxuan for a few days, and Nangongji had already seen how powerful this person was: every day when he got up, had meals, listened to the government, and went to school, he was on time, without delay for a moment, he treated the prince like a prisoner!After more than a month, Nangongji's laziness and procrastination has recovered by [-]% to [-]%.

Listening to books in Wenyuan Hall used to start early in the morning, and you could leave school before the right time, but now because you have been busy with other things for half a day, and you come in to listen to books after noon, the time for class to end naturally has to be delayed. Delay, it takes until Youshi.In the evening, I have to study under the "accompaniment" of a group of people, so the whole day is spent in the halls and colleges.

Only today was different, Nangongji returned to Songmingxuan after school, and his mother, Mrs. Li, came right away, followed by a clear-eyed young man, dressed in green clothes and covering his tall figure, with a bit of sharpness and elegance in his elegance. Sophisticated, it turned out to be Li Qi, Nangong Ji's cousin.

After asking his son for warmth, Mrs. Li said: "Since Qi'er is here, you don't have to work hard at your desk. You will have a ten-day rest tomorrow (1), and play with him for a relaxing day!"

Nangong Ji wanted what he wanted in his heart, but he was afraid that his father would find out and blame him.

Fortunately, his mother knew his intentions, and said: "This matter was promised by the king himself, so don't worry about it!"

Only then did Nangongji feel relieved.

The wife of the King of Shu, Mrs. Li, was born in a famous family. Her family, Li, was established together with Han, Yuwen, and Murong. Her elder brother, Li Yi, was in charge of the Political Council and was the same prime minister.

With a high position and weight, the Li family is fortunate to know how to restrain themselves. They are dedicated to supporting the master in the court and do their best;

Mrs. Li also followed this gentle family style, with a gentle temperament and a virtuous personality. She has been in the palace for twenty years, she is neither arrogant nor jealous, and she is generous and generous.It's a pity that she was not destined to have an heir, and the two sons she gave birth to in her early years died before her first birthday.Li's heart ached, she thought that her past life was a sinful one, and that it would harm her children, and she was so disheartened that she couldn't afford to get sick again!Fortunately, at this time, she was helped by an eminent monk. After performing the ritual, within a few months, Mrs. Li recovered from her illness and became pregnant again. She conceived in October and gave birth to a son, Nangong Ji!Everyone in the palace believed that this was the benevolence of the king of Shu who moved heaven, so he sent Da Luo Jinxian down to earth to give away his son!

Regardless of whether this is true or not, the birth of the eldest son Nan Gongji really made De Chong and his wife very happy. Because of the pain of the previous two times, they really don't know how to love this eldest son!Even though De Chong had two sons and a daughter later, his love for his eldest son was never withheld.

Mrs. Li wanted to relieve her son's boredom of studying and studying politics today, and let her nephew enter the palace to play with him for two days, so as to relieve boredom.

This Mr. Li Xiaolang is Mrs. Li's elder brother and the second son of Li Yi, a deacon of the Political Council. The eldest son is four or five years old. He is very close, but he is quite interested in doing business. In the past few years, he has been traveling around with his uncle who is in the medicinal material business with his mother's family, and has gained a lot of knowledge!

The so-called "reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles", because of this, my aunt is willing to ask him to go around the palace more often, to convey some people's feelings and principles and let the son know.Fortunately, Nan Gongji also likes to listen to his cousin's travel experience, and the two get along very well, which is not in vain of his mother's painstaking efforts.

After dinner, Mrs. Li drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, and then went back, leaving behind two cousins ​​whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Nan Gongji called the palace servants to fetch wine, but said that she would drink all night, and if she didn't get drunk, she wouldn't return !It's just such a bold statement, but there is some timidity in my heart, and I dare not call people to play and sing to persuade people to drink with great fanfare.After playing until the third watch, they finally got tired, but Nan Gongji still refused to rest, so the two fell down on the couch and chatted.

Nangongji complained about the confinement he had received these days through his drunkenness, showing his unwillingness in his words.He also heard Li Qi talking about his trip to the south of the Yangtze River recently, where the scenery is beautiful, and he was very envious, and he couldn't help sighing: "If one day, I can get out of this prison, and enjoy the rivers and lakes like my cousin."

It was just a random sentence of emotion, but Li Qi frowned unexpectedly: "Your Highness has never been involved in the world, so how can you say that Jianghu is good?"

Nangongji was surprised to hear this in a daze, and didn't know how to answer him.It is true that he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and his knowledge only limited to the prosperous places in the capital of Shu. As for the rivers and lakes, it was all in the imagination.

There was silence for a while.

Li Qi said again: "Your Highness may think that being in the common people can be unrestrained and enjoy oneself freely, but one doesn't know that there are many poor people in the world, and the people are suffering everywhere, and there are many people who can't help themselves! His Highness now feels that studying and governing are hard work and boring, but How do you know that the people in the market place have to work even harder to make a living! Your Highness, you can imagine that you miss the Jianghu because of your boredom in the palace, but how many people who work hard for a living outside are eager for high beds, soft pillows, brocade clothes and jade like you. Food?"

Hearing these words, Nangongji's dizzy head felt even more painful. Cousin Xindao loves preaching so much now, and felt bored, so he said "tired" angrily!So they rested and had nothing to say all night.

The second day was the end of ten days, so Nan Gongji naturally got up late.

When Li Qi came in, he saw him dozing off again and again, with a troubled look on his face.Then ask why.

Nan Gongji pretended to be angry and said: "It's not because of your reasoning, it caused me to think hard all night, and I haven't had a good rest!"

Li Qi smiled wryly: "Last night, you made a fuss while drinking, and you kept me talking nonsense for a long time, and you finally got a hangover and blamed me!"

Between words, breakfast has arrived.

Appetite is often poor after a hangover, Nan Gongji only hastily consumed half a bowl of milk and lotus seed porridge, and then took two thin slices of lychee cake and lost his appetite.

Seeing this, Li Qi said: "Hangovers are always the most hurtful. This is also a small punishment and a big warning. It will teach you to be more jealous in the future!"

Nangong Ji thought that his cousin was making fun of him, so he hurriedly said: "Last night, I was just a little drunk, so I didn't have a hangover at all. It's just that getting up early and going to bed late these days has really consumed some energy, so getting up early will make you feel more tired, just a while. gone."

Li Qi heard the words and said: "Since that's the case, you might as well go out to get some fresh air, or you'll get better sooner."

There was a heavy rain in the morning, and the sun only penetrated the gradually thinning dark clouds and swayed down.

The back garden is red and wet, and the rain and dew rolling on the flowers and leaves show off layers of splendor in the sun, like a rainbow, flying light and dancing.The path is full of falling red, and it is also a lot of fun for two people to walk among them, enjoy the flowers in the garden, search for fragrance and play butterflies.

Leisure time is fleeting, and it seems that I haven't moved much, and it is already noon.After lunch, the two went to Pinghuxuan to take a rest to escape the heat.

Before the end of a game of chess, I heard that the servant came to report: Yuwen Fengzhi brought his sister to see him!

Hearing the word "Yuwen", Nan Gongji's drowsiness dissipated immediately, and he said with a smile, "It's just the right time!"
