Born of Worry

After having lunch with his father, the little emperor Li Xian is going back to live his life as an emperor. Fortunately, it has been two years, and he will get used to it if he is not used to it.Every morning and afternoon, I receive some ministers who always have such and other problems, or issue a few imperial edicts to understand the people's sentiments, and do some things I like to do in my spare time. Ask Tired Wai for a while, and the day passed like this, the law is full but dull.But this kind of plainness is good, we can't hope every day that there will be troubles to be exciting.

However, in the past few days, there are some new things in the memorial handed over: "General Lin Ruxuan's private meeting with His Royal Highness Prince Yu is indecent and degrading."

His Royal Highness King Yu refers to his third elder brother Li Ye. Although the word "Yu" is originally selected from "Zhong Ling Yuxiu", Li Xian will unconsciously pronounce it as "His Royal Highness Desire" every time... Cough cough, don't go there. Tell him third brother...

Lin Ruxuan should be the little general that Li Ye is pestering. The three generations of the Lin family have served as generals. The old general Lin Youze passed away a year ago. His son has been wearing sackcloth and mourning for a year, but he finally wants to come here to carry on his father's behest. Li Xian is naturally gracious allow.There are too many veterans in the court now, he was eager to recruit more young people, so he gave him the position of the old general, but he didn't expect that this guy had only been in office for less than a month, and he hooked up...and was hooked up by Li Ye, It is true, alas...

Li Xian glanced at the inscription on the memorial, and suddenly smiled wryly, the book was handed over by Shang Shuling Lin Xingzhi.There is no prime minister in the Yin Dynasty, and Shang Shuling is equivalent to a prime minister. One can imagine how important this position is, and this Lin Xingzhi is still a veteran of the three dynasties. He is meticulous and can't rub the sand in his eyes.Oh, by the way, by the way, he was the veteran who was fainted by Li Yeqi.

This is good, Li Xian picked up the pen and didn't know how to put it down.Third brother, third brother, I told you to open your mouth so mercilessly, you will be impeached if you have the opportunity, and the memorial is handed over to me...

"What's the matter?" Mo Wen's figure appeared again without a sound, and put the lotus seed soup in his hand on the table, "Seeing that you didn't eat much at night, take a few sips while it's hot."

"Yeah." Li Xian threw the pen to drink the lotus seed soup, scooped up a lotus seed and bit into half to make sure there was no lotus core before eating.Mo Wen looked at it and said, "Actually, lotus cores are the best. If you don't want to eat them, let them remove the cores. Don't worry, there won't be any leftovers."

Li Xian let out an "oh" and said vaguely, "That stuff is too bitter..."

"It's bitter, so if you are sick, don't you take medicine?"

"Little Mo won't make me sick."

Mo Wen was a little helpless, and put aside the topic, "What's the matter, today's memorial is difficult to approve?"

Li Xian raised his delicate face and asked very seriously: "Xiao Mo, don't you feel wronged by serving me like this?"

"Huh?" Mo Wen obviously didn't react, "You are the emperor."

"What's wrong with the emperor, you are a dragon. Dragons are supposed to soar to the nine heavens. Don't you feel bored when you are locked up in the inner courtyard of the deep palace?"

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of the little emperor's head, and sighed: "You are really a special person. In my impression, the elders in the clan all told me that human emperors always have eyes above the top, even if we sacrifice for them. They will only take life for granted. Therefore, the clan stipulates that every dragon that protects the emperor is not allowed to show up in front of the emperor, lest they have excessive demands."

"Really? I'm very self-aware...Did I ask you to do anything excessive?"

"I didn't say you... No, you did a good job."

Li Xian pouted, "Stop comforting me."

"What's the matter, so depressed?"

"Someone impeached my third brother."

"Huh? Is it Lin Shangshu?"

"how do you know?"

"It's not that he always dislikes your third brother."

"There are still a few people, their memorials are piled up." Li Xian frowned, "I don't know what to do, old general Lin Youze is a good man, I feel a little sorry for his son being implicated."

Mo Wen fed him another spoonful of lotus seed soup, "Xiao Xian, has anyone told you that you are good everywhere, but you are a little indecisive in doing things."

"what?"

"You are still young and you can't feel it, but you are the emperor after all. Since you are in this position, you must work hard to do well. I can't help you too much, and I can't give you advice. Now that your father is still alive, some things I can still help you, but have you ever thought that one day he will be gone and you will face the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? If you don’t change your character, it will kill you one day.”

Li Xian tilted his head to look at him, thought for a while, then suddenly pushed aside all the memorials, and said, "I understand, I will have an interview with them tomorrow. Go to sleep."

"..."

At this time, Mo Wen didn't know that it was today's words that really made Li Xian gradually get rid of his indecisive temperament, but it also made him almost separated from him forever in a certain incident afterwards.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xian responded to the private meeting between King Yu and General Lin.

When the ministers had finished what they had to say, Li Xian signaled them to be quiet, ignored the old ministers, and asked Lin Ruxuan to stand out: "Lin Aiqing, if you have anything to say, you can say it. I will forgive you. crime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Ruxuan was neither humble nor overbearing, "I believe that His Royal Highness Prince Yu is sincere to me."

As soon as he said this, the group of old officials couldn't sit still anymore, Li Xian signaled them to be quiet again, "Oh? Aiqing must also understand King Yu's conduct, so how can Aiqing know that he is sincere?"

Talking about sincerity and insincerity in the court hall... Lin Shangshu's face turned dark.

"King Yu has invited my ministers to banquets many times, and even came to the residence of my ministers in person. Your Majesty also knows that my father died just a year ago, and my ministers have not yet completed their three-year filial piety. They should not be officials. Rang, in order to abide by my father's behest and to secure the country, I took over my father's position in advance, and His Royal Highness King Yu was considerate of me, never forced me, and even took the initiative to accompany me to mourn my deceased father. Is this sincerity still true? Can't you get into the eyes of the adults?"

What he said was neither humble nor arrogant, but there were still people who disdain it. Tao Wenting, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward, and said with a sneer, "Don't you think that the wind of cutting off your sleeves is not in accordance with the law? The general and His Royal Highness Yu Wang are still so righteous? "

"Your Majesty Tao is serious. First, my minister and His Royal Highness Yu Wang are not in private, this matter is aboveboard, and I don't feel wronged; second... Your Excellency is the Minister of Rites, so dare to ask Your Excellency, what is the law of etiquette? Two Is it impolite for two men to be sincere to each other? In the eyes of grown-ups, the wind of breaking one's sleeves should be cast aside by others, so is it in accordance with the law to cast aside others?"

"you……"

"Furthermore, as a martial artist, I am a martial artist, and the "Art of War" has a saying, 'Soldiers are deceitful', so in the eyes of adults, is conspiracy and calculation in line with etiquette? Is war killing in line with etiquette? Is it just because it is not in line with the law? If we follow the rules of etiquette, can we not lead troops to fight? Then if one day, a powerful enemy invades, shouldn’t we hand over the country and respect the enemy as the guest of honor to be in line with the law of etiquette?”

"You, you, you..." Mr. Tao was so angry that his beard exploded, and he pointed "you" at his nose for a long time, but you didn't understand why.

Lin Shangshu, who had been watching the battle, stroked his beard and nodded.

Li Xianmian saw the old man's small movements in the gap, and knew that he probably agreed that he would not pursue it any further. At the same time, he also felt that Lin Ruxuan was indeed a man who could be made. : "Lin Aiqing's words are reasonable. The so-called etiquette is only used to limit people's behavior. The ancients said: put the country's urgency first and then private enmity. If the national crisis is at the head, should we still take the etiquette into account first? Tao Aiqing, your thinking is indeed somewhat It's pedantic."

Tao Wenting's face turned pale, and he choked out a sentence: "Your Majesty taught me the lesson." He bowed his hands and retreated.

First the national emergency and then personal enmity... Lin Xingzhi has already become a human being at such an old age, how can he not realize that the emperor said this to himself, his eyes wandered for a week on the young little emperor , did not answer the call.

Li Xian knew that he was looking at him, so he ignored him, and continued: "I know that you are full of love and patriotism, and I also know where your worries are. The matter of King Yu is just an introduction. I'm worried about General Lin, I don't know if he is qualified for this position, what I said is wrong?"

When the emperor said it so bluntly, the faces of all the ministers were a little red. Li Xian did not wait for them to answer, and said: "But the so-called suspects don't use people, and employ people don't doubt them. Now that I have promoted General Lin, there is absolutely no way to go back. reason."

"Your Majesty," Lin Ruxuan clasped his fists, with a look of grief and indignation on his face, "I am willing to prove it to them with my own strength!"

"Okay!" Li Xian has been waiting for his words for a long time, "Since Aiqing has this intention, I will make it happen. You Aiqing also know that among the three heroes of this dynasty, one is the left general Lin Youze The second is the right general Wei Heng, and the third is Jian Wang Li Kuang. Old General Lin has passed away. General Wei has been stationed in the frontier fortress all year round, and Jian Wang is in the capital. In this case, I wronged Lin Aiqing and competed with my brother who is a martial idiot. Fan, use your true skills to convince the public, I will provide you with the racetrack on the outskirts of the city, and all matters will be decided by the two of you through discussion."

It can be said that the emperor gave enough face, Lin Ruxuan knelt and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will go all out and die!"
