Chapter 43 The Ancient Imperial Examination Road 12

小皇帝沐浴过后,陆吒早已安排人准备好了膳食。

桌子上不过一菜一汤,这对于皇帝至尊来说,这样的膳食过于简单了,但小皇帝一路上风尘仆仆地,这样的膳食竟也觉得十分香甜。

只是吃着吃着,小皇帝以袖子掩了脸,瞧着是要快哭了的模样,赵允闳一路上就在想着,他心悦之人有没有受凉,有没有穿暖,有没有吃饱饭,等到见了眼前他这个皇帝也就只一菜一汤,那常日里在忙碌的陆爱卿呢?岂不是连碟菜连碗汤都吃不上了?

He is not doing well in a place where I can't see him.Just thinking of this made Zhao Yunhong feel sad.

"I was wrong, it's all my fault!"

朕就喜欢个人,想要护着个人怎么就这么难了?

陆吒想一想小皇帝也是个古人,古人在应对天灾的时候总是将天灾归咎在天子无德上面,瞧着小皇帝此刻要哭不哭的模样,怕是心里真的怪罪起自己无德了。

陆吒语气很轻,“陛下不必如此。”

小皇帝耳边听着陆爱卿温柔和煦的安慰,心中却更难受了,他想了想后宫那些嫔妃,皇后就不消说了,连给他下药的龌龊手段都用了,其他嫔妃也一个个不省心的,哪有一个像是眼前的人一样,模样让他看着就喜欢,性格也让他相处了就心动的?

Anyway, the imperial doctor also said that he is unlikely to have children in this life, it is better to let him be self-willed for a while, and accept Lu Aiqing's "a couple for life"!

The more the little emperor thought about it, the more he looked forward to the life of being together with his sweetheart. He put down his sleeves, and Lu Aiqing's soft voice seemed to be encouraging him.

“陛下无错。”陆吒说完,就见小皇帝双眼通红地看向他,眼睛里尽是跃跃欲试的光芒。

赵允闳抿了抿嘴唇,还是觉得嘴唇因为紧张干涩的厉害:“那么,肖想朕的臣子,朕也无错吗?”

"Your Majesty, be careful."

"Isn't it just a couple for life? I promised Qing!"

The little emperor blinked his eyes, as if he was waiting for an answer.Lu Zha was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty seems to have misunderstood something. I am willing to spend the rest of my life with the person I like, but I don't like Your Majesty at all!"

小皇帝瞪大眼睛,所以,他要想和心上人在一起,还要经历一个追求的过程吗?

“朕是皇帝,如果朕命令你,你又如何?”小皇帝有些受伤,却还是倔强地威胁了一句。

若是陆吒在别的朝代被皇帝威胁了,可能就屈服了,但这个时代嘛,陆吒心中还真是一点都不怕,“陛下厚爱,微臣愿辞官归乡,奉养双亲。”

The little emperor's eyes widened. After thinking about it carefully, this is not impossible. He thought of some courtiers in this era, thinking of ways to fight against the emperor. If the emperor really drives the opponent away or beats him up Bangzi, he returned to the countryside, but it was full of scenery.

宾客往来络绎不绝,士人称赞不绝于耳。

小皇帝瞪大了眼睛,真真无可奈何的时候,就见眼前的青年忽然唇边绽开了一抹笑意,青年的嘴唇可能因为太忙碌没空闲喝水有些干了,甚至有些开裂,但却更令他忽然密密麻麻地心疼开了。

陆吒唇边晕笑,但这笑意很快就消散了,像是午夜悄悄盛开的花,因为盛开短暂,更是十足的惹人心动。

“臣说过,人会变的。今日陛下瞧着臣喜欢,臣欣然接受了,等到明日陛下瞧着臣不喜了,臣又该如何自处呢?”

赵允闳嗓子干涩,忽然说不出话来,他没有想过,朕竟这般让陆卿没有安全感吗?朕这样不值得相信?

但想一想自己曾经做过的事情,以及诸位阁臣对他的评价,小皇帝自己也确实说不出反驳的话来。

"So, I don't have too many choices." Lu Zha's eyes fell on the little emperor deeply, but his tone was very light: "I have always been by your majesty's side, and your majesty has a lot of time to convince me that your majesty's feelings are true." Yes, it's not a joke, maybe at that time, I will have enough confidence to face the wind and rain with His Majesty instead of always worrying about being pushed out by His Majesty and enduring everything alone."

“朕不会的。”赵允闳忽然道。

陆吒只笑了笑,“臣是翰林学士出身,陛下可知,翰林是要修史的。”

史书里同皇帝有暧昧的男人,可没有几人有好下场。他好歹也是堂堂状元郎,前程无比光明,除非皇帝的意志足够坚决,人也足够令他心动,否则他何苦给自己找不自在?

Seeing that Zhao Yunhong fell silent, Lu Zha stopped talking and gave the little emperor a chance to show off. If the little emperor didn't agree to the draft, he didn't need to do anything else, and the mission in this world could be completed.

当然,该准备的还是要准备下去。

陆吒想到这个世界的任务,心情颇好的抿了口茶水,茶叶在水中缱绻的舒展开来,泛着动人地颜色。

When the little emperor finished his meal, Lu Zha didn't care whether the little emperor's mood had adjusted or not, so he and the little emperor began to study the disaster relief.

其实陆吒心中有许多想法,也顾不上休息,便同小皇帝将自己的想法一一道来了。

虽然,这次灾情因为朝廷干预,死伤并不多,也因此并没有发生灾后瘟疫,但即使如此,朝廷的任务却仍不轻松。

洪涝损毁了田地,损毁了大量的粮食,损毁了无数房屋,还有许多幸存的人口……这些都在等着朝廷的抚恤。

“……陛下,朝廷的抚恤是一方面,但臣这里有一个想法,陛下可听过以工代赈?”

陆吒将以工代赈的想法说了,现在因为田地被损毁,空闲了许多的青壮劳动力,其实这些劳动力闲着并不是一件好事,反而可能产生种种摩擦纠纷。

还不如朝廷提供一日三餐,并发放适当口粮,由这些青壮做一些诸如清理淤泥、建设河堤、街道,或者建设房屋等等力所能及的事情。

陆吒又提了几个想法,小皇帝虽然对朝政不感兴趣,但脑子却聪明的很,立刻就明白了这其中玄机,抿着嘴略带羞涩的道:“朕一直都觉得,卿才华最是出众。”

小皇帝出宫虽然显得任性,但却方便了陆吒,陆吒只要有想法了,觉得于赈灾有益的,便先请示小皇帝,但凡他有所请示,小皇帝没有不允的,只是陆吒谨慎惯了,每次请示完小皇帝,照例会奏报一封交给内阁。

Now, it is no secret that the little emperor is in Ningbo. The imperial court sent people to remind him repeatedly, but the little emperor was indifferent, so he had to send soldiers to protect the little emperor's safety.

基本上,陆吒去哪里,小皇帝也就跟着去哪里,陆吒做什么小皇帝也学着做什么。有许多次,陆吒坐在地上,就发现没一会儿小皇帝也跟着坐在他身边了。

两人的衣袍上都沾了泥土,单单看着就有些狼狈。

等到陆吒终于忙完赈灾的事情,已经眼看着就入秋了,陆吒便也准备回返京城,他垂下眸子,想必京城那边也等的急了。

他离开的消息不知道被谁泄露出去,等到陆吒和小皇帝出了府衙,就有许多民众自发地围了上来,因为有禁军守护,民众并不能靠近他们,但还是有老者出面,送了万民伞前来。

陆吒前后作揖,等到终于上了马车,陆吒看向非要和他同乘一车的小皇帝,意外发现小皇帝也是感动极了的模样。

赵允闳心中是有些感叹的,老百姓就是这样朴实,谁对他们好,他们都记在心里了。

他也想要做个好皇帝,但他自家人知道自家事,自己对做一个好皇帝实在没有信心。

马车摇摇晃晃着,花费了许多时日,总算是到了京城。

Not to mention all the officials in the capital, after the little emperor returned to the capital, he was taught a lesson by several cabinet ministers who bumped into pillars and wiped their tears, until the little emperor gave in helplessly, "Several masters, don't cry!" , I will never do this again.”

“还请陛□□谅老臣一番苦心,老臣老了,实在经不住陛下这样折腾。”

张松苦着脸说,其他几位阁臣也相继沉重道:“若陛下日后还如此行事,请陛下准许臣等乞骸骨。”

刘番和李德年这时候尽量缩小存在感,就怕阁臣们忽然要了他们的小命了,单单是蛊惑皇帝,就足够阁臣们将他们两个当成小人来针对。

清流们和宦官从来都是势不两立的。两人正胆战心惊着呢,就听见小皇帝幽幽地开口了,“诸位师傅总说我父皇在时如何如何,要朕说,若是父皇还在,知道朕母后在他处遇险,父皇定然也会私自离宫的。”

谢禹言在几位阁臣中算是性情最柔和的了,但此刻心中却颇为不解:“陛下怎可如此类比?”

陆吒就站在小皇帝身后,从几位阁臣到了便一句话不说,当做自己不存在一般。他在翰林院修史,对先帝也知道一些。小皇帝虽然常常胡闹,但他有句话却没有说错,若果真是张太后遇到困境,以先帝对张太后的情谊,怕是不要皇位也要去相救发妻的。

这嬴姓赵氏虽然做了皇位,但出现的一些皇帝除了子嗣艰难外,还总是有一些奇怪的坚持。

比如几位阁臣最最敬仰的先帝,先帝尽心国事,可以说是很英明的帝王了,但却从不纳后妃,后宫之中只有当时的皇后如今的张太后一人。这个时代哪个有钱人家有条件的不三妻四妾?偏偏先帝确实一夫一妻制的忠实实行者。

With Lu Zha's experience, he naturally understood the late emperor's behavior, but it was inconceivable to other courtiers.

谢禹言说完,陆吒便见小皇帝偷偷看了他一眼,眼睛里存着些小得意,看着有些狡黠道:“好叫几位师傅知道,朕待陆卿,就同父皇待母后一般。”

几位阁臣如同被人锁住了喉咙,半晌说不出话来。

等了好一会儿,直到有熏着花香的暖风拂过,才回过神来般,又开始劝谏皇帝了。

但这一次,小皇帝却出乎意料的坚持。

等到几位阁臣踉跄着脚步走了,小皇帝忽然侧过头问:“陆卿,朕方才……瞧着可还圣明?”

陆吒也侧过头,回望过去的眸子如同染过的墨,瞧着分外深邃惑人,声音如同被微风含在嘴里的花瓣一样,轻轻道:“陛下圣明。”

唉,陛下怕是对‘圣明’二字有什么误解吧?

赵允闳却不知道陆吒这话只是一个臣子对皇帝的恭维,他眼里盈满了单纯的喜悦,舌尖舔了舔砸吧了一下嘴里的滋味,像是舌尖上含了桃花瓣一样,有些微微的甜呢。

陆吒陪着小皇帝聊了一会儿,刚刚出去,便被几位阁臣叫到了内阁。

陆吒对内阁也算是熟悉了,先是同几位阁臣问了好,几位阁臣要说的无非是小皇帝方才说的事情,陆吒对此也早就有了心理准备。

无论几位阁臣说什么,他都答应下来,等到他离开内阁的时候,张松等人对他的态度已经很好了。

“陆大人状元郎出身,德行人品俱是出挑的,可惜陛下却……”王震叹惋了一声,转而问道:“诸公,这次还是冷眼旁观?”

“不然呢?不冷眼旁观还能如何?真将堂堂状元无故贬谪,就是你我等人,也难敌清流非议,”张松苦笑了一下,道:“老夫年纪大了,还想带着这个好名声将来去地下侍奉先帝,何况,就算诸公真的出手了,也未必能够如愿。”

先不说清流,就小皇帝那性子,他们真将陆大人外放了,小皇帝定然是要闹的,去朝廷闹,去内阁闹,去六部闹……要是闹不管用的话,说不准小皇帝就再次离宫出走去寻陆大人了!

Several other people also understood the joint, and immediately smiled wryly: "You have also seen the disaster relief work this time. Mr. Lu is indeed talented, but the little emperor, alas, I am afraid that some people will suffer in the future."

“国事艰难,诸公,共勉吧。”

阁臣们互相勉励了几句,便投入到了繁忙的国事中去。

需要处理的国事很多,不论其他,单单是这次灾后有功人事的升迁奖赏,有过人事的处罚,虽然吏部给了章程,但真正还要内阁拿主意,至于其他零零总总,内阁需要处理的事情就更多了。

Lu Zha was not idle either. Just after he came out of the cabinet and returned to the public house of the Ministry of Rites, a young eunuch from the Palace of Compassionate Ning came to invite him to the Palace of Compassionate Ning.

按理说,后宫不得干政,太后也不太可能无缘无故请一个外臣去慈宁宫,但现在不可能的事情发生了,陆吒心中便不由得升起几分不好的预感。

Again, when he was studying history in the Imperial Academy, he paid great attention to the history of this dynasty.Taizong is considered a very wise and powerful emperor among the emperors of this dynasty, but such an emperor is not perfect without a trace of flaws.It was rumored that Qin Qing, a courtier with a beautiful appearance, was favored by Emperor Taizong, and even the concubines in the harem had to avoid the edge temporarily. It was the Queen Mother who took advantage of Emperor Taizong's absence and invited Qin Qing to the Palace of Compassion, and killed Qin Qing by poison.

陆吒心中叹了一口气,招呼一个书吏过来低声吩咐他一会儿去找皇帝,便跟着来宣召他的小太监去了慈宁宫了。

太后一般只有在重大日子的时候才会穿戴太后冠服,一般时候,太后也就穿着一件艳色的长袍,长袍上用金丝绣着祥云金凤等等装饰,瞧着端庄贵气。

太后从知道皇帝为了一个男人出宫了,便想着见一见这人了,这些日子皇帝不在宫内,太后心揪着,便也着人打听了不少关于陆吒的事情。

那是一个别人嘴里近乎完美的人。

但这个人间,又哪儿有可能有完美的人呢?

In the Imperial College, both noble descendants and poor scholars all praised him, not to mention the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, even though they originally thought that the man was a newborn calf, but after the flood really happened, the ministers also changed their praises one after another. As for the cabinet ministers, they also valued him very much, saying that the man was cautious in his work and had a measure of advance and retreat, so he could entrust important affairs.

The most surprising thing was that the Empress Dowager ordered people to sneak a look at Lu Zha when he entered the palace, but who would have expected that the people who sneaked in to see him would blush when they came back to see the Empress Dowager.

太后不由得更想见一见了。

Then, after a long time, when the sweet-scented osmanthus outside the window of the Palace of Compassion and Peace was fragrant, the Empress Dowager saw an unparalleled handsome young man slowly walking into the palace. The popular characters have now passed through many scrolls and many beautiful scenery, and they can finally appear in front of others in the expectation of others.

太后叹了声,要不是她同先帝感情甚笃,如今又确实年纪大了,怕也会被这人颜色迷了眼吧?
