The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Liu Sheng received the emperor at the gate of ceremonies, and hurriedly knelt down to salute. The emperor didn't look at him, and went straight to the carriage.

Liu Sheng felt that the emperor was a little unhappy, but something serious happened and he had to come here to find the emperor.

The emperor got into the carriage, and Liu Sheng hurriedly followed. The emperor was not angry with Liu Sheng, so he called him over to question him afterwards, naturally asking what was the matter.

Liu Sheng said, "Old Wen Ge, Elder Ji Ge, Elder Xiao Ge, and Lord Liu of the Ministry of War all went to the Hall of Qinzheng to wait for the emperor, saying that something went wrong in Fuzhou in the south."

The emperor had a solemn and solemn face, knowing that Liu Sheng didn't know much, so he didn't ask any more questions, let the carriage go faster, and hurried back to the palace.

The emperor went back to the palace, changed into the emperor's regular clothes, and then went to the Qinzheng Hall to meet several ministers.

Although Liu Sheng perfunctorily said to the adults that the emperor was resting due to physical discomfort, but if the ministers waited for nearly two hours before appearing, it must not be that the emperor was resting due to physical discomfort, and it is unknown where the emperor has gone.

These well-informed ministers all knew that the emperor liked to go out of the palace in micro-clothes, but because of the micro-clothes, few ministers knew that the emperor had gone out, so it was naturally not easy for the officials to write a letter about it.

This formed the emperor's habit of running outside the palace more and more.

But with the majesty of the emperor, even if someone caught him out of the palace and wrote a letter, the emperor would probably ignore him at all.

The emperor entered the study through the door behind the Qinzheng Hall, and then summoned several ministers waiting in the side room.

After letting several ministers die, the emperor even gave him a seat, and said, "I don't know exactly what happened."

As the chief assistant, Mr. Wenge naturally came out to talk about the matter, and then presented the letter to the emperor from the flying pigeons from the south.

As a quick transmission tool, the imperial court does have a special method of flying pigeons to transmit documents, but this is not a formal method of transmitting documents, so the book is not an official document, it is just a secret letter, and it still uses the unique code of the imperial court .

Fortunately, along with the secret letter, there were translated words written on the booklet, and the emperor quickly browsed the booklet while listening to Mr. Wen Ge's report.

What happened turned out to be a disturbance in Fuzhou.

There was a typhoon seven or eight days ago in the Fujian area. The emperor already knew the news, and it was also the news brought by the pigeons.

Because this is already something that happens every year, and there are already regulations to deal with this matter, just follow the regulations.

Although the matter has been known through Feige's letter, the Fujian official uniform has not reported it, so the emperor just thought about it in his mind, and he will deal with it after the Fujian official reports the loss, but he sent it to supervise The imperial envoy had already thought about choosing the emperor, so there was no rush.

What happened this time was that after the typhoon, some people encouraged the farmers near Fuzhou to rebel. It was only a few days after the typhoon passed, and some people rebelled. It was obviously premeditated. The most important thing was that Fuzhou had recently opened a commercial port, and the imperial court had ships there. , Let the rebel peasants snatch the imperial boat and go out to sea.

From the rebellion of the peasants to the snatching of the boat and going to sea, this happened within one day, which shows that it was indeed planned for a long time and organized.

That's why this incident caused a great deal of repercussions. As soon as the cabinet received the news, it immediately came to the emperor.

This rebellion happened three days ago. On the same day, Flying Pigeon sent a letter to the capital to spread the news. It was only the third day that the cabinet received the news. The news was so timely, obviously it was not from Fuzhou officials, but from Fuzhou officials. A message from a specialized intelligence agency.

After Mr. Wen Ge finished speaking, the emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at Mr. Ji Ge, "Ji Aiqing, what's your opinion on this?"

Elder Ji Ge stood up and saluted, then bowed and said, "Because I only know that this incident happened in Fuzhou, but I don't know the casualties of officers and soldiers, and I don't know how many people rebelled. It is better for Fuzhou officials to report the incident in detail and send imperial envoys to investigate. Then make a conclusion. If someone has been plotting against the court for a long time, this is probably the act of pirates. The pirates are so rampant that they treat the court as nothing. The court has to fight a big victory to save face."

After Mr. Ji Ge said this, Mr. Xiao Ge said, "It is the evil result of the opening of the port in Fuzhou. There was no such thing when the port was not opened before. These pirates are almost all seaside farmers, and from time to time they turn into The pirates did evil, and when the court went to investigate, they became good citizens again, so that the court could not handle them. According to the old method, the seaside farmers should be relocated inland, and the law of ten households should be used. Unless they are tortured, they will not be able to let them know the majesty of the court. If someone goes out to sea as a bandit, the family members will be punished."

The emperor was expressionless, and didn't say anything to the two of them for a while. After Xiao Ge finished speaking, Ji Ge continued, "The trouble of pirates is caused by the forbidden sea. The fishermen in the forbidden sea can't go fishing to make a living. , they turned into pirates, and the big gangs of pirates are just unable to do business because of the sea ban. If the city is popular, the pirates will turn into merchants, and if the city is banned, the merchants will turn into pirates. If you can open a commercial port, let the maritime merchants pass through the imperial court When doing business, pirates are naturally sea merchants, and there will be no trouble."

Xiao Ge said with a sneer, "Master Ji said it so well, but it's because my brother-in-law is also a maritime merchant. With the opening of commercial ports, pirates are marine merchants. Now that five additional commercial ports have been opened, why are pirates still rampant?"

Mr. Ji Ge's face was flushed by Mr. Xiao Ge's words, his voice became louder, and he said, "Everything can't be done overnight. The commercial port has just opened, and the officials at the commercial port have severely exploited the maritime merchants, which may lead to maritime merchants turning into pirates. Naturally, there are also pirates who are stubborn, and this requires the imperial court to suppress them. To solve the problem of pirates in the south, the imperial court should use both soft and hard methods."

Having said that, he took a step forward, knelt down in front of the emperor, and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, it is imperative to open the port. We cannot blindly ban the sea, otherwise it will only solve a temporary problem at a huge price, and it will be a hindrance." It has brought a lot of benefits to the imperial court."

Elder Wen Ge watched Elder Xiao Ge and Elder Ji Ge quarrel without saying a word, while Lord Liu Shangze, Minister of the Ministry of War, had his own interests, so he did not participate in the dispute between the two.

When Mr. Ji said this, Mr. Xiao Ge sneered even more, and he didn't care about his status as Mr. Ji, so he quarreled with Mr. Ji pointing at his face.

It was the emperor who was annoyed by their quarrel, so he patted the table and said, "Silence!"

Only then did the two stop arguing. The emperor had his own judgment. From the perspective of long-term interests, it was imperative to lift the sea ban. Moreover, the imperial court and officialdom were also entangled in various interests. Half of them asked for the ban on the sea and half of them asked for the opening of the port.

Because the emperor was close to Ji's family and had his own opinions, he supported the opening of the port.

However, the effect of the opening of the port cannot be seen after half a year. However, as Mr. Ji Ge said, it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Afterwards, the emperor did not say which of the two elders' views he tended to, only that he had to think about it and discuss it again.

Then skip the forbidden sea or the opening of ports, and discuss the issue of sending additional officers and soldiers.

After such a discussion, it was already evening and there was no result.

Several ministers and the emperor didn't eat lunch directly, and in the end they were all so hungry that they had no strength, and naturally they couldn't quarrel.

The emperor kept a few adults for dinner. He himself lost his mind to think about Ji Heng because of the coastal defense. At this time, his mind was a little empty, and his mind turned to Ji Heng. He didn't know if Ji Heng was Still in pain, did you eat well, how is the child, does he like to cry like the eldest prince...

Although Ji Heng didn't let the emperor go to see him, the emperor still sneaked out of the palace that night.

When he arrived, Ji Heng hadn't slept yet, probably he had been sleeping during the day, and now he couldn't sleep much.

His Royal Highness slept soundly, neither crying nor fussing, just sleeping.

When the emperor entered the inner room, Ji Heng was looking at the prince who was in a daze on the rocker next to the bed, with a peaceful expression on his face. The emperor stepped forward, took a look at the prince, and said softly to Ji Heng, "He is asleep."

Ji Heng looked up at him, "Why are you here again, why don't you come here?"

The emperor asked a maid to carry the prince to the nurse next door, then sat down beside the bed and said, "I can't feel at ease in the palace, so I might as well come here."

It’s hard to talk about Ji Heng. After a while, Mrs. Xu came in with a maid, who was carrying food on a tray. Seeing the emperor was there, the two bowed. The emperor looked at the food, and then said to Ji Heng: , "It's good for Junqing to have some supper. You hurt your vitality after giving birth, so you need to make up for it."

Ji Heng said, "I already gained weight, if I eat this all the time, I'm afraid I will get fatter."

Xu blamed Ji Heng and said, "Where is there gaining weight, do you still care about this?"

The emperor stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Heng's arm, and said, "I haven't gained weight, so you must not stop eating well because you are worried about gaining weight."

Saying so, he personally took the food from the tray held by the maid, and asked, "What is this?"

Mrs. Xu replied, "It's pork liver porridge made by my wife. It has the effect of nourishing blood. Heng'er is just right to eat it."

The emperor held the scoop to make it cold for a while, and then smiled at Ji Heng, "Your mother made it herself, so you don't want to let it down."

Ji Heng frowned and didn't answer. When Xu saw the emperor and Ji Heng together, he always liked to do little tricks. As a mother, she couldn't be around, so she went out with the maid first.

The emperor wanted to ladle porridge to feed Ji Heng, but Ji Heng didn't want him to feed it. He took the bowl and ate it. He found that there was no fishy smell of pork liver in it. It tasted good. Seeing the emperor staring at him, he ate some and handed it to him Said, "Mother's taste is good, do you want to try it?"

The emperor was flattered and looked at Ji Heng with a smile, not taking the bowl, as if he was waiting for Ji Heng to feed him.

Ji Heng snorted softly at him, scooped it up to his lips, and the emperor really opened his mouth to eat, and laughed again after eating, almost choking, Ji Heng looked at him speechlessly, and patted his cheek again Back, put the bowl and spoon to him, and said, "Come on, finish your meal, I won't eat."

This is about the first time the emperor has done this kind of aftermath treatment, but he is very happy.

He took two mouthfuls from the bowl and then fed Ji Heng another mouthful. Ji Heng hid at first, but then he had to let him.

After the two of them ate the bowl of porridge, the emperor put the bowl on the table and poured tea to rinse Ji Heng's mouth. After everything was done, he asked Ji Heng to sleep, but he still had to search for it. Ji Heng couldn't fall asleep, so he sat on the bed and watched the emperor critique the papers on the couch by the window. After reading for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, what happened today?"

The emperor raised his head and said, "It's nothing."

Ji Heng frowned and said, "Why did you lie to me?"

The pen in the emperor's hand paused, and then he said, "It's really nothing. It's just that there are typhoons in Fujian, which happen every year. It's not a big deal. I have already prepared the money for the disaster relief, and the imperial envoys in Fujian have also arranged for it." alright."

Ji Heng didn't ask any more questions, just lay there in a daze, the emperor quickly finished the papers, which were full of clichés, so it didn't take too much time.

When Ji Heng found out that the emperor wanted to sleep with him, he was startled and said, "Your Majesty, you should go to the guest room, this bed is filthy."

The emperor finished washing and tidying up, but he didn't leave. Since there was no one else in the room, he just leaned in, even kissed Ji Heng's neck twice, and said, "If I don't disturb you, you can just sleep on the couch."

Ji Heng said, "Don't play your temper on this kind of thing, it's not a joke to get sick from the cold."

In the warm candlelight in the room, the emperor listened to Ji Heng's nagging and caring words, and felt that this was the most tender and simple home he wanted. His wife and son were all here.
