Neighbors with powerful ministers

In the first year of Ninghe, on a midsummer night, the moon covered Xuanyuan, and the stars fell like rain.

At this time, Yongji, the capital city, was shrouded in a dark night that was not quiet, the lights were bright, and it was very lively.This day is not a festive day, and there is no major event that needs to be celebrated. It is just an unusual night after summer, which is the same as every night in the past few decades. Until the middle of the night, the noisy night market Neither will be banned.It is in stark contrast to the quietness of the ghost town under the curfew system of the previous dynasty.

This is Daqi.

A psychotic dynasty that is always committed to making troubles with the previous dynasty in terms of size and system, from the emperor down to the common people, who are extremely particular about eating, drinking and having fun.

……

In Great Inner Court and Funing Palace, Emperor Shenzong suddenly woke up from the dragon bed.

Outside the palace, there were a lot of footsteps and rustling noises that would never be heard in normal times, and from time to time there were panicked exclamations that the palace servants must have broken the rules.

"Thief star, it's a thief star!"

As soon as these words came out, Shenzong's heart skipped a beat, as if he had fallen into the boundless darkness in an instant, his hands and feet were icy cold, and he lost even half of his strength.Naturally, he didn't care about the crime of the palace servants yelling in front of the imperial court.

Shenzong only wanted to pick and choose the information he needed from the flood of memories, for example, what is the thief star.

Shenzong had heard about the thief star many years ago.

He vaguely remembered that there was a riot in that year.

At that time, Shenzong's grandfather and biological father had not conquered the beautiful country, and his daughter (sister) had never been to the battlefield. He was still a baby who couldn't speak, and lived in his hometown with his daughter and second brother who had grown up a lot. In the countryside of Jiangzuo, there are small bridges and flowing water, and Wu Shuyiyi.

It was also a certain midsummer, three siblings of Shenzong were sitting in a row under the vine, trying to eavesdrop on Weaver Girl Cowherd's whispers.

But how can the secrets of immortals be learned by ordinary people at will?In the end, they couldn't hear the couple's night talk, but they saw the fire-stained night sky together, with the south smoke rising and the storm about to come.

The female brother exclaimed: "Thieves!!!"

The second elder brother, who had already entered school, fanned the young Shenzong with a cattail fan, and kindly said to his daughter brother: "That's not a thief star, be careful of being laughed at. The astronomical records call this Liuyun (meteor)."

Then... the female brother who was born with supernatural power grabbed the collar of the chick-like second brother and beat him violently.The female brother is really ruthless, and the second brother has not been able to work in the field for several days.

Because of this, Shenzong firmly remembered two words, the thief of the people, and the fall of the court.

What happened after Thieves?

Oh, by the way, not long after that, the daughter brother went to the battlefield with her father; after that, their grandfather, who was brave and good at fighting, but did not know a single word, overthrew the previous tyrant, and the dragon robe added One by one, the members of the old Wen's family became the descendants of phoenixes and dragons, and became relatives with God before the mud spots on their legs were washed.

So far, Shenzong has not been able to figure it out. His grandfather is obviously a short-lived ghost who can bet his wife and children on the gambling table if he loses in a hurry. The papers brought by the debt collector are still on the beams of his hometown. Became the son of heaven (天子)?

Today, many years later, the thief star reappears...

What this portends seems self-evident.

Sitianjian and Astronomical Academy, which were ordered to specialize in feudal superstition activities, entered the palace that night, and gave Liuyun a more academic term - Yinghuo Shouxin.

"The stars are like buckets, and the lights follow them. There is a torrent, which rises from the northwest and falls to the southeast...It is the image of Fang Bo. "Meteor Chapter")" The wrinkled, gray-haired veteran Si Tianjian told Shenzong a series of sorrowful words. This is his job, linking all visions with reality, even if it is forced.

No matter how serious the other party said, Shenzong didn't understand a single word.Because he didn't like reading since he was a child, and he didn't have any noble sentiments of "reading for the rise of Daqi".

After all, Shenzong already had a wise and martial grandfather, a diligent and caring father, a second elder brother who has a heart for the world, and a nephew who is both poetic and artistic. to his head.

However, fate loves to make jokes like this.

Shenzong's relatives, father, second brother and nephew all had accidents not long after becoming emperor.The filial piety Shenzong hangs on his body can only be seen layer by layer, but he can't wait until it expires.

The queen of the nephew is pregnant, but it is a posthumous child, and it is still in the stomach, and it is not sure whether it is a man or a woman.

Shenzong had to be kicked out of the market, and temporarily became the master of the Great Enlightenment.He has only been enthroned for a few months now, and he is very hard on the related business. He is extremely unfamiliar and does not want to be proficient.He also wholeheartedly hoped that his niece and daughter-in-law would give birth to a fat nephew for him, so that he could abdicate as soon as possible and return the property to its original owner.

After the old man of the Sitianjian was like a candle jumping in the cold wind, after analyzing a basket of baskets, the servant who specialized in alternate translation for Shenzong stepped forward and said in his ear, "Go back to the official house, and follow Master Liu. It means that this is a demon star, it is a bad omen, and it is a warning from the heavens to the emperor in the world that war disaster is coming."

In short, the Great Enlightenment is coming to an end.

Shenzong cursed secretly, this relative of Thief God is really not authentic, dare to delay this warning?Didn't Daqi know enough about how they were bullied by those warlike "neighbors" in the northwest?

Since the founding of Daqi, the international situation has been relatively severe. Not only has it inherited the people's livelihood from the previous dynasty, but it has also inherited a bad debt from the previous dynasty in terms of diplomacy.Although Da Qiming appears to be in control of China's largest land, in fact he is surrounded by wolves, like a child holding gold, and anyone who sees him will drool.

Not to mention that it has only been a few decades since the founding of Daqi, but four emperors have died one after another. Every time one takes office, one who works hard to govern will inevitably be unable to escape the fate of violent death.

special!Don't!funeral!

"Is there a way to solve it?" Shenzong's belly was big, his eyes were piercing, looking at the officials who had been summoned overnight, he almost said excitedly, or I will come to the world with amnesty, and then write an edict of guilt, and abdicate as a response God, express your admiration?How about begging him to let us off?

A small official of the Sitianjian suddenly became clever and thought of the story of how Song Jinggong solved Yinghuo in "Huainanzi".

Stepping forward, he bowed and suggested to Shenzong: "Yinghuo, the punishment of heaven, misfortune belongs to the king, and it can be transferred to Zaizhi."

The meaning of these words is very simple. Yinghuo is like reposting a curse. You can try to transfer the disaster aimed at the emperor to the prime minister, who is the current prime minister.

Who did Zaizhi provoke again?Shenzong was shocked, he was still waiting to abdicate.So he shook his head again and again.

Xiaoguan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he went a step further and said, "It can be transferred to the people."

It can also be passed on to the people.

"That's even worse!" Shenzong yelled, this time he was really in a hurry.

The three generations of the old Wen family's ancestors were poor peasants who had been peacefully living in the countryside and farming. If they hadn't really been unable to survive, they would not have raised the banner of rebellion.Taizu always emphasized before his death that one should love the people like sons and brothers, and any unfilial bastard who dares to imitate that yamen dude will be punished with the whip!

Thinking of his own grandfather's mighty whip technique, Shenzong's calf would spin.

This time, not only the little official's eyes lit up, but other courtiers also joined in the fun.Shenzong, like Taizu, had a low level of education, which is well known throughout the world.In other words, it is impossible for Shenzong to have read "Huainanzi", nor is it possible to know Song Jinggong's three intolerances.It is God's will that all this is happening now!They continued to ask questions along the way, maybe the disaster would be solved.

"It can be moved at the age of one year." All the officials said in unison, majestic.

Such momentum actually frightened Shenzong, who was not very courageous at all.When he came back to his senses, his body was still sitting firmly on the dragon chair, but the long-winged cap on his head was crooked.Just like him, even though he was wearing a fiery dragon robe, he didn't have the confidence to be a nine-five-year-old in his heart, and even his smile seemed to be powerless.

"Sui" refers to the annual government tax, Shenzong's amber eyes rolled slightly.

The frightened ministers suddenly got their hearts out, this is about to be the third time they can't bear it, how can the officials not play their cards according to the routine? !

Fortunately, Shenzong just thought about it a little bit more, and soon he realized that taxation is closely related to the lives of the people, and if the transfer of income to the old government is actually passed on to the people, then the Taizu must still be whipped.

"No, no, no."

Song Jinggong's three can't bear finally come together!The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief together. The story in "Huainanzi" is like this. When Yinghuo came, Wu Zhu gave Song Jinggong three ideas to pass on the disaster. Song Jinggong refused because he couldn't bear it, but he saved the life of the country.

Now that the original scene has reappeared, although Shenzong is not very studious, at least his heart is the benevolence and kindness inherited from the old Wen family. This disaster will definitely be solved!

Looking at the veterans who were so excited that tears filled their eyes, Shenzong was still confused, not knowing why it broke?What's broken?

A few days later, following the quick delivery of the gold plate from Jiangzuo, Shenzong thought he had finally found the real reason not to worry about "keeping one's heart in the shadows".

——On the night when Yinghuo appeared, a large star slammed straight towards the eastern foot of Fenghuang Mountain.The fire illuminates the sky and can be seen from far and near.Xie Shizi's mansion in Jiangzuo was built on Phoenix Mountain.That day the stone happened to be just right, and it fell on the head of Xie Shizi who was not sleeping at night and went out for a stroll.

Shenzong thought to himself, isn't this just passing Yinghuo on to Shizi Xie?

Xie Shizi, whose real name is Xie Jie, is only fifteen years old, and is the only son of Zhen Guo's eldest princess and her son-in-law.

And Princess Zhen Guo is the daughter brother who single-handedly brought up Shenzong.Shenzong loved and feared this elder brother who was like a mother, and he couldn't explain the mixed feelings in his heart.

After hearing that his nephew was still unconscious on the bed, Shenzong was tortured by guilt.He thought it was the old ministers who made their own ideas behind his back and harmed Xie Jie.Hearing the news that Princess Zhen Guo entered the palace for an audience, Shenzong completely panicked. He felt that the announcements from Zhuque Gate to Funing Palace were like reminders, and he couldn't survive.

The eldest princess of Zhenguo is wearing a pomegranate skirt, red and graceful, and her legacy is fierce.Tomorrow she will be able to be Shenzong's mother-in-law when she is older, but the well-maintained grace looks much younger than the tired and lazy Shenzong.

As soon as she entered the palace, the eldest princess was no different from entering her own home.This is also related to the rules established by Taizu. In front of his family, Taizu never called me, and there is no such thing as father emperor and son ministers in the scriptures. They are Ye, father and elder brother.What it was like in the countryside before, it will be the same after moving to Ouchi.

Shenzong has become accustomed to it and has never thought of changing it.Even though he is already the emperor, he is still very afraid of his elder brother.After dismissing the servants, Shenzong poured tea for the Eldest Princess himself, hoping that she could take a breather before scolding.

"I'm just a son, and you're just a nephew, you have to save him." The eldest princess didn't scold anyone this time, she didn't care.

"Help, save!" Shenzong said sincerely, "If anyone does not save, he will be in a hurry with anyone".

"I want Dr. He'an, the best from the Hanlin Medical Academy, to treat my son's illness and save his life." Dr. He'an is the highest rank among the medical officials in Daqi, and he specializes in treating the emperor and empress.

"Give it!" Not just one, Shenzong had already prepared to pack and send all the idle medical officers in the medical officer's hospital to Jiangzuo long before his daughter brother entered the palace.It also left behind what the emperor always loved to say to the medical officer - if he can't be cured, I will let you all be buried with him!

"I want you to accompany me back to Jiangzuo to visit in person!"

"Go... what?"

The author has something to say: Xie Jie: The one-sentence introduction of this chapter should be—in a word, I have a super powerful mother, hahahahaha.

The emperors in the two chapters before and after are different, it’s not a bug, it’s written in the article that the cousin Rendi who was rescued by the male protagonist was newly mourned, and there was only one posthumous son, so my uncle Shenzong was forced to ascend the throne.

PS: China*: This noun referring to the country existed in the Song Dynasty, um.

Female brother*: Sister.

Guanjia*: The title of the emperor in the Song Dynasty.

Members of the royal family call each other you and me, not Zhen*: This is also true history. The emperors of the two Song Dynasties would not call their parents, brothers and children what father, son, and son. It is normal. , a magical royal family.
