In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Gu Li said: "Thinking of the great Chu's mountains and rivers weighing heavily on our shoulders, the Jianlu in the northeast, silverfish in the court, and bad rules in the officialdom, I still have to worry about the Yellow River bursting its embankment if there is too much rain, and the fields will be severely drought if there is too little rain. In recent years, there have always been plagues of locusts. The harem is not worrying, I am so tired."

Li Tang said: "Your Majesty, my hometown is in Hejian Mansion. You have reduced taxes for three years, distributed the Huangzhuang farmland of the prince to the villagers, and asked the court to distribute cattle and seeds. The villagers are very happy." Thank you. You are the king of a country, but you are not a saint after all. No matter what you have achieved, you have done your best, and the people will thank you for your kindness."

Gu Li was silent for a moment, and asked: "Can the people really understand my painstaking efforts?"

If Gu Li is willing to take a step back, don't have to have the idealism of saving the country, benefiting the world, and benefiting the people, and only wants to let his descendants sit firmly in the country, then it will be very easy.He can turn a blind eye to the bad practices in the officialdom, as long as the officials don't go too far, driving the people to a dead end and cutting off his source of tax revenue.In this way, the bureaucrats can distribute the fat and naturally obey his orders. The people will not be desperate or rebellious. He can sit firmly on the throne and let his descendants enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime.

But Gu Li couldn't do it.This approach is to regard the common people as a tax base that provides two stones of rice every year, as leeks that will grow again after being cut, not as human beings.Gu Li, who used to be just an ordinary person, couldn't be so ruthless.So he feels tired, because his enemies are not only natural disasters, but also a huge bureaucracy.He is using the power of one person to restrain the entire huge machine. Facing the cunning and tricky officials, he wants to deceive and use imperial power. There are some things that even Prime Minister Mu can't say. of.

If, even the people he tried his best to protect could not understand his intentions, and instead were instigated by his enemies to stand opposite him, then no matter how strong a person is, there will be times when they become discouraged.

"Maybe some people can't understand His Majesty for a while, but after a long time, someone will give you a fair evaluation, and someone will understand your painstaking efforts."

Gu Li nodded and said, "In this way, my efforts are not in vain."

Gu Li looked at the green gem on the bed curtain, and couldn't help but think of Chen Feng. With Chen Feng's intelligence, it would be great if he could help him. If he couldn't tell Prime Minister Mu, he could confide to Chen Feng.

After being comforted by Li Tang, Gu Li relaxed a little, and gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the fever subsided, but my throat hurt badly. Gu Li took the medicine as before and had breakfast, and drove to the platform of Jianji Hall to hear about the murder of Xie Xing Village and the progress of the investigation of the cattle breed case. report.

The six departments of Jiuqing Kedao were already waiting on the platform of Jianji Hall, and Gu Li sat down slowly supported by Li Tang.When the ministers saw this, their faces were worried.The officer remonstrated: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven who inherits the longevity of the heavens, and the parents of the people in the world. You must take good care of your body."

"Your Majesty always eats some vegetables and radishes. He doesn't know how to nourish his body, and he always reads memorials until late at night. He doesn't know how to cultivate his body. How can this last for a long time? The palace people should also persuade Your Majesty more."

"In the final analysis, we should choose some concubines who are considerate and gentle for His Majesty, so as to take good care of His Majesty."

These officials are speaking from their hearts. Although they have nothing to do, they still have to find something to advise Gu Li, but except for those opportunistic people who sell themselves to gain the reputation of their ministers, the others still want to fulfill their obligations. The duty of admonishment.His Majesty is diligent and frugal, with clear rewards and punishments, investigating corrupt officials, and treating moths. In addition, he has a gentle temper. When he gets angry, he will at most curse behind his back. He has never seriously attacked them. There are things to do, and they all have their own evaluations of such a majesty in their hearts.Whether public or private, no one wants such an emperor to die young.

However, when Gu Li heard the counselors urging him to choose a concubine, he immediately felt dizzy, coughed twice, and said: "We will discuss other matters later, Prime Minister Mu, how did the investigation of Xie Jian's murder go?"

Mu Hualing replied: "Your Majesty, Xie Jijian was killed the night before yesterday in Baimao Hutong, not far from the Sanfa Department. After inspection, Xie Jijian was fatally injured by someone hitting the back of his head from behind. It rained heavily the night before yesterday, and the traces of the scene were not very clear, because it was raining, there were not many pedestrians at night, so no witnesses were found."

Gu Li asked: "What is Xie Gejian doing in Baimao Alley?"

"In the afternoon, Xie Jian borrowed the file of the cattle breeding case to look through it. He Fangyu, who was also a member of the Ministry of Officials, testified for He Fangyu. According to the theory of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he left after the yamen were dismissed, and Yichen speculated that Xie Gejian's appearance in Baimao Alley might be because of the cattle breeding case."

"Thank you for your remonstrance. Is there anything wrong with the judgment of the cattle breeding case?"

"The old minister is going through the files he borrowed back that day, but he hasn't found anything inappropriate yet."

Gu Li thought for a while, Xie Gejian came out of Beijing to investigate the cattle breed case himself, he knew more about the case of the perpetrators than Prime Minister Mu, and he must have his own considerations about who should be sentenced to what punishment.It's just that he is not an official of the Three Jurisdictions, and it is possible that he may not be able to handle the sentencing properly.For a while, Prime Minister Mu probably couldn't see what was wrong.

Gu Li asked again: "Thank you for your advice, do you have any other enemies?"

It cannot be ruled out that Xie Xingcun's murder has nothing to do with the Niu Chuan case, and it may be the work of other enemies, so I have this question.

If you want to talk about the enemies of Xie Xing Village, there are many.After all, this man is a "straight man", and he has offended many people in the court. Even when he was sent to the capital to investigate the cattle breeding case recently, he also offended many local officials.

Gu Li heard that Prime Minister Mu sorted out Xie Xingcun's interpersonal relationship, and felt that this matter was more difficult.The worst thing is that the traces of the scene were washed away by the heavy rain, leaving no clues, and this matter can only be investigated slowly.

Gu Li asked: "Who else is in Xie Jijian's family?"

"There are elderly parents in the family, and there is a son on their knees, who is only ten years old."

Gu Li sighed, and said: "The Ministry of Rites will send someone to comfort and condolence. If there are any difficulties in life, if you can help them solve them, try to help them solve them."

Gu Li glanced at the officials not far away again, and said: "I will thank you for your advice, just like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty lost Wei Zheng, thank you for your admonition for being loyal, honest and virtuous. Public loyalty to the country, don't let me down to my expectations."

Ke Dao's officials kowtowed in unison: "The ministers and others dare not offend the holy family, and must fulfill their duties and repay the Lord's grace."

Gu Li then listened to Mu Cheng and others' report on the cattle breeding case.In fact, the imperial envoys have almost completed the investigation of this case, and now it is just to verify the facts of the case and bring the criminals to Beijing for questioning.

After listening to the report, Gu Li discussed the matter of vaccination. Gu Li remembered what he had seen and heard in Wucheng Bingmasi the day before yesterday, and told the ministers about the matter, and explained to them that officials in various local governments need to strengthen public opinion. For such matters, the priority is not to intensify conflicts and damage the credibility of the imperial court.

It was the first time that the courtiers heard the words "response to public opinion" and "credibility" and tried to figure it out.Seeing their puzzled faces, Gu Li decided to ask Zhongshu Sheren to draw up a document and distribute it to various government offices so that they could understand it individually.

The court meeting was over, Li Tang supported Gu Li and prepared to drive back to Qianqing Palace. Yang Hongjian, Minister of the Ministry of War, stayed behind and said to Gu Li: "Your Majesty, I have a good health recipe here, which is specially dedicated to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body."

As Yang Hongjian said, he took out a booklet from his bosom, and wrote four large characters on the title page: "Good Prescriptions for Nourishing Qi".

Gu Li couldn't laugh or cry, isn't this the brochure that Yang Shangshu gave Xiao Tan when he left Beijing?Why did you take out another book and dedicate it to him?How many copies did Yang Shangshu print?

Gu Li ordered someone to accept it, and thanked Yang Shangshu.

Yang Shangshu worriedly watched Gu Li leave.

Nie Guangyu watched the servants put the furniture one by one into the bullock cart, feeling complicated.Shuanglan stood beside him holding the baby who was still in its infancy.

Seeing the door of Nie's house being closed, it has only been a few months since he moved in with his wife five times in the mansion, yet it has to change hands again, how can it not make people sigh with emotion.

Taking Shuanglan into the carriage, he supported Shuanglan's shoulders, and comforted him: "The house is too big, and it's a hassle to take care of it. It's easier to move around if you change to a smaller courtyard."

Shuanglan smiled and nodded.

Nie Guangyu teased the children with a smile, thinking of the Nie Mansion that was left far behind, although Fang Zhongqing ruthlessly slaughtered him to save his wife and brother, but it was all worth it to save them.

For Shuanglan, it is worth doing all this.

The baby in the swaddle waved his small hand and hit Nie Guangyu's palm. There was a gash made by a stone. Although the blood was no longer seeping, it still hurts a little these days. wounded.

... For Shuanglan and the child, everything is worth doing.

Wucheng Bingmasi put up a notice in the city. A few days ago, someone brought the dead body to Wucheng Bingmasi's yamen to make trouble. After investigation, the deceased was an idler named Ma Liu from Miyun County in Beizhili.He fell into the water and died three days ago.The troublemakers who brought his dead body were not related to him, and after extorting a sum of money, they disappeared, so they asked the people in northern Zhili for clues about these troublemakers.

This notice was also specially sent to the palace, and it was posted after giving it to Gu Li to read.If you directly say that these people came to make troubles to hinder the promotion of vaccination, the common people may not be so easy to understand.Simply characterize this group of people as extortion, solicit clues from the people, and it will be easier to clarify and spread the matter.

In this way, the matter was finally calmed down. It was also Gu Li who tried the disease on himself in the early stage, and later used his servant and Zhen'er to test vaccinia. The believers gained trust, so the vaccination went smoothly.

It's just that Gu Li's body is still sick, and his illness recurs repeatedly. The fever subsides during the day, and the fever starts again in the evening, and it often takes a whole night of tossing.Zhen'er didn't see him for several days, and asked Yu Guangle's father in tears if he didn't want Zhen'er anymore.Gu Li is thinking about Zhen'er and Chen Feng, but he has a five-day appointment with Chen Feng, he needs to get better as soon as possible, otherwise how can he see Chen Feng.

It's just that I didn't expect that on the fifth day, my health was still not good. After breakfast, Gu Li still felt weak in limbs and sore in muscles.Zhou Changshun saw that he was changing clothes, and he looked like he was about to leave the palace again, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, your bones are not well yet."

Gu Li said: "That's not good. If someone comes to see me, you can tell me that I'm still sick."

As Gu Li said, he took a look at the sky, and now it was dawning early, he needed to leave the palace earlier, so as not to show his whereabouts when the sky was bright.

Zhou Changshun was depressed and worried, and sent Gu Li to the southwest corner of the palace.At this o'clock, there were not many people on the street, and Gu Li was very tired after walking for a while.Seeing that the sun was getting up gradually, and there were many porters on the street, he finally hired a carriage and went to Mingyufang.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the driver saw Gu Li's pale and sickly face, and asked, "Master, are you alright?"

Gu Li shook his head, took out the treasure bills to pay for the carriage, got out of the carriage, leaned on the wall, and slowly moved towards the door of Chen Feng's house.

When he reached the door of Chen's house, he was really exhausted, so he sat down on the stone threshold to rest.Unexpectedly, after this break, people became dazed and had a weird dream, dreaming that Da Chu had no way to return to heaven, Chen Feng learned the truth, broke with him, and stabbed him in the heart with a long sword.Gu Li was so frightened that he woke up and fell to the ground.

It turned out that the gate was opened, and Gu Li fell into a coma, and heard the servants of the Chen Mansion screaming: "Gu Langjun! What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting outside the door and not coming in?!"

The two supported him, stretched out their hands to touch, and found that his skin was hot, so they quickly helped him in and sent someone to find Chen Fenglai.

Gu Li was in a daze, after a lot of tossing, his head hurt from being shaken, and finally he was put on the bed.His eyes were closed, his lips were pale, but his cheeks were tinged with red.

When Chen Feng came, he saw Gu Li's sick and weak appearance.

Chen Feng almost stopped breathing for a while.

He walked up quickly, and the servants reported back: "The young man just opened the gate of the courtyard, and Gu Langjun fell in. He didn't know how long he had been sitting on the threshold. His body was burning badly. Do you think you should invite Father Kong?" Come?"

Gu Li vaguely heard the words of Father Kong, and was so frightened that he opened his eyes and called out, "Feng Feng!"

He thought his voice was loud enough, but in fact it was only a gnat. If Chen Feng hadn't been paying attention to him, he probably wouldn't be able to hear him.

Chen Feng hurriedly stepped forward, held Gu Li's hand, and asked, "Yixin, what's the matter? Are you thirsty?"

Gu Li shook his head and pulled him: "Don't look for that magic stick like Kong, they will only let people bleed..."

Chen Feng was helpless, and said: "He is from the Holy Roman Empire, what kind of magic stick can only let people bleed."

Gu Li was in a hurry: "What holy empire of mules and horses will fall apart sooner or later... Why am I lying to you, anyway, I don't want that magic stick to see a doctor for me."

Chen Feng sighed, touched his face lovingly, and told his servants: "Go to the street and invite a doctor. When you invite the doctor, look at the medicine residue at the entrance of the pharmacy, and see if there are many patients in the pharmacy. Ask a good doctor... Forget it! Let me go!"

Chen Feng is usually a decisive person, but now he is not at ease even asking a doctor. It can be seen that he is concerned to the extreme, but hesitant.He wanted to invite the doctor himself, but Gu Li grabbed his hand and begged, "Please don't go..."

Chen Feng had no choice but to ask his servants to invite someone, and after repeated urgings, he let him go.

The place where Gu Li was lying was a shady wing, without any sunlight.He picked up Gu Li, went up to the attic, let Gu Li lie down on the low couch, and sat beside him by himself, asking, "Do you want to drink some water? Why are you so sick?"

Gu Li drank a large bowl of water, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.There was someone walking around gently beside him, and there was another line of sight watching him tenderly.This sight reassured him immensely.

When Gu Li woke up, Chen Feng was still sitting beside him, watching him silently.Seeing that he was awake, Chen Feng picked up the water, helped him to feed some, and asked, "Is it better?"

Gu Li felt his body relax a bit and nodded.

"Since you are still sick, why do you have to come here? I don't know how long you have been sitting on the threshold, why don't you know how to knock?"

Gu Li grabbed his hand and said, "Isn't this an agreement with you?"

The clothes Fengfeng is wearing today can be seen to be newly made. This guy is obviously looking forward to his coming. If he doesn't come, Fengfeng will be very disappointed.

Although Fengfeng would understand him as long as he explained that he was sick and couldn't come, but the disappointment and anxiety when he couldn't wait for him had really existed.

He didn't want Chen Feng to be even a little bit disappointed and uneasy.

Chen Feng was in a complicated mood, pinched his face, and blamed him: "You dragged your sick body to see me, will I be happy?"

Gu Li said: "I don't know if you are happy or not, but I feel lonely when I am sick, and I hope you can accompany me when I am lonely."

Chen Feng had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's forget it this time. If you feel unwell in the future, don't force yourself. Here...it doesn't matter."

Gu Li smiled.

Chen Feng fed him some water and read him the Da Chu Morning Post.Gu Li remembered the vaccination that had been promoted recently, and asked, "Fengfeng, have you been vaccinated?"

Chen Feng said: "There are notices posted on the street, and there are Chief Jia and Bao Zhang who came to inquire and urge. But you know that I look very strange, how could I go to the government office to vaccinate?"

Gu Li nodded and said: "That's right! Next time I will bring some pox syrup from Eunuch Yu, and you and your subordinates should remember to plant it."

Chen Feng asked: "What? Has Mr. Sai confirmed the effect of this cowpox?"

"That's not clear, but since even the Emperor Dog and the Prince were vaccinated, it seems to have some effect."

Chen Feng was thoughtful.

At this time, the servant had already fried the medicine and brought it in.Chen Feng took it, and explained to Gu Li: "The doctor came when you fell asleep, and checked your pulse. Come, drink the medicine."

Gu Li frowned, and was about to drink the medicine, when he suddenly wanted to act like a spoiled child to Feng Feng, so he said, "Feed me."

"I think you're really taking advantage of your illness to commit crimes, and you've kicked your nose in the face." Although Chen Feng was fierce, he still fed the medicine to Gu Li one by one, and asked someone to bring some crispy candies up. , After Gu Li finished drinking the medicine, he stuffed a piece into his mouth: "There is nothing else at home, so you can make do with it."

Gu Li ate sugar, drank some water, and lay down on the bed.Chen Fengxu babbled, asking him why he was sick, how long he had been sick, and whether he was taken care of by anyone.

Gu Li squinted his eyes, looking at Chen Feng who cared about him.Although the weather was bad today, he still felt that Chen Feng was shining brightly.

This guy Chen Feng has unknowingly made him fall deeper and deeper.

Gu Li stayed in Chen's mansion until night, and left when he got better.Chen Feng still sent him to the door, and then ran up to the attic, the two waved goodbye, Chen Feng watched Gu Li's back disappear, and murmured: "If Yi Xin was by my side, I would never let him So sick..."

Gu Li didn't even know how dangerous Chen Feng was brewing. He rested at Chen Feng's place for a whole day, without worrying about business or thinking about anything. He stayed with his beloved, and the relaxed atmosphere made him The body and mind are happy, and the disease seems to be mostly cured.

After returning to the palace, he asked the imperial doctor to see him, and then went to see Zhen'er, and asked him how his day was going from a long distance away, and if there was anything happy, Zhen'er obediently answered, and asked: "Hello, Father Have you ordered? Zhen'er prayed to the Buddha in her heart today!"

Gu Li smiled and said: "Thank you Zhen'er, Father feels much better."

Zhen'er was delighted immediately, and she praised herself: "Zhen'er prayed the most spiritually! Even the mother and concubine praised Zhen'er!"

Gu Li was silent for a while, squatted down, looked at Gu Youzhen's eyes, and asked, "Does Zhen'er want to see the concubine mother?"

Thinking of Guo Zhaoyi, Gu Youzhen nodded silently.

"Then let Yu Banban take you to meet tomorrow."

The next day Gu Youzhen went to see Guo Zhaoyi in the cold palace, and she didn't look very happy when she came back.Seeing his young age, Gu Li looked thoughtful on Baozi's face, and asked, "What's the matter? Are you unhappy seeing your mother and concubine today?"

Gu Youzhen frowned: "Today, the mother concubine told the son that the father is going to kill her! Why is the mother concubine talking nonsense?"

Gu Li then asked Yu Guangle what that woman Guo Jing had said to Zhen'er.Yu Guangle said: "The last time His Majesty asked the imperial physician to vaccinate people in the palace, Guo Zhaoyi didn't know the efficacy of vaccinating, so he had concerns."

Gu Li understood that when Guo Jing prescribed medicine to him, she was worried that she would retaliate against him in the same way. She really thought too much.Gu Li was not very angry, but felt that this woman was ridiculous, and it seemed that Zhen'er could not be allowed to see her in the future.

He said to Gu Youzhen: "Zhen'er, to judge whether a person's words are right or not, sometimes you have to not only listen with your ears, but also see with your eyes, and think with your heart."

Gu Youzhen nodded ignorantly.

Gu Li hugged him and said, "Language is the easiest thing to disguise. Some people speak sweetly, but they may be sweet words, and some people speak sharp words, but they may be loyal words."

Gu Youzhen was confused: "Zhen'er doesn't understand, so who should Zhen'er listen to?"

"Zhen'er needs to have her own opinions and judgments. It depends not only on what a person says, but also on how he acts, not only on what he does on the surface, but also on what he does behind the scenes."
