After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

At the end of the year, the moon is smooth and the winter is cold.

Last night, there was a rare heavy snowfall in Bianjing city, and the whole city of Bianjing was plunged into a dazzling silvery white overnight. Children in full armor can be seen chasing each other with snow blocks everywhere in the market. The shopkeeper set up a few tables directly in front of the store, and put a charcoal pot on each table for passers-by to enjoy the snow and cook meat at the same time. When the business was good, the seats were full before noon.

In the imperial city, on the open space behind the emperor's bedroom and purple residence, the restless king and his lord Tai Tuo were fighting swords again, and the surrounding eunuchs formed a half-circle, some with fox fur, some with tea stoves, and others. There were people holding a stove, all staring at the current scene.

The two monarchs and ministers each wear tight-sleeved bunts of the same color as the snow, stepping on the soft snow particles, the sword light flashes, the sword sounds sonorous, every move, you come and go, the boots are flying in the frost and snow, the two bodies are like spinning, Even if the snowflakes are flying, you can't get on your body.

In fact, the two of them didn't want to compete with swords here.

Before the court today, the two monarchs and ministers could not help but be overjoyed to see such a snowy light through the window. They ordered Shang Gong Wu to prepare mutton for the hot pot, and sent Yuan Bao, the chief inspector, to Prince Ningyi's residence and Princess Qingzhao's residence to spread the word. Everyone is invited to enter the palace to enjoy snow-boiled meat together in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, after the morning court, the news that Yuan Bao brought back was that the little princess had accumulated food and fever yesterday, Princess Qingzhao and Princess Ning were taking care of her, and the concubine was also afraid of the cold and refused to leave the palace. The most unexpected thing was Prince Ning Yi, Gu You Your Highness, even before dawn, he left the palace in the face of the snowy light, and went to Jingzhao Mansion to direct the soldiers and imperial troops on duty in Beijing that day to clear the snow on the streets of various markets, and then went back by car at sunrise In the farms in the outer suburbs, inspect the houses of the farmers to see if there are any damages. If there are damaged houses, the rural landowners can resettle the people as soon as possible. If not, then someone will be boarded in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion today up.

Concerning Prince Ning Yi's change, Taifu Han once said: "Since Master Shangqi returned to his hometown, there has never been a mediocre official in the whole Zhou Dynasty." Under the leadership of colleagues around you, they will also become diligent and caring for the people.

After a fierce battle between the monarch and his subjects for half an hour, they withdrew their swords tacitly. As the two long swords were sheathed, the young eunuchs who were watching from the side gathered up one after another, wearing cloaks and wiping sweat. , the person who moved the chair moved the chair, and when the monarch and the minister sat down and breathed evenly, the little eunuchs who served tea surrounded them and filled them with the hot tea that had been warming on the fire.

"Sigh, it's a pity not to eat the pot with such good snow today." Han Mo took a sip of tea, sighed and looked at Gu Xiu: "Why don't you accompany your majesty to go out of the palace later? Today's restaurants in Bianjing will surely There is someone who sells mutton pots, and I will take your salary to invite His Majesty to eat it?"

"Going out of the palace?" Gu Xiu Ning coughed slightly, and said in a low voice: "But I have already asked Aunt Wu to prepare mutton in the morning, if I go out with Ziran to eat at this moment and come back, I am afraid that Aunt Wu will go out again." There's going to be endless chatter."

"What's the matter?" Han Mochu said nothing, but his voice also quieted down: "Let Bao prepare the horse and go out quietly, and tell him that if Aunt Wu asks, he will say that there is someone in Chen Honglu Temple." Due to urgent business, His Majesty accompanied the minister to Honglu Temple, and the left and right Honglu Temple is also close to the restaurants in Zhuquefang where there are always long queues."

"this......"

Just when Gu Xiu was slightly hesitant, Yuan Bao, the head of internal supervision, appeared with his whisk at the right time: "Your Majesty, Taifu Han, Mr. Zhou Nanzhou, Minister of Honglu Temple, please see me."

Han Mochu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and after looking at Gu Xiu, he burst out laughing suddenly. The usually cold and resolute king couldn't help but tighten his lips, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Only Eunuch Yuan Bao, who didn't know the truth, was left with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Come on, let's go, just say a word and then come the present report, so you can't lie." Han Mochu shook his head with a smile, put the stove into his sleeve robe, got up and walked towards Ziju's study: "It seems that today's minister and Your Majesty In the end, I have to stay in the palace honestly."

The emperor sleeps, and the purple dwelling hall.

In the big study room, Zhou Nan, the official of the Honglu Temple, finally waited for the two monarchs and ministers who had changed into ordinary clothes.

"It's hard to walk in the snow today, why did Zhou Qing come at this hour? But what's the matter?" Gu Xiu entered the table sideways, sitting behind the long table.Han Mochu stood by his side, supporting the back of the emperor's chair with one hand, his eyes were clear and steady, without showing sharpness.One monarch and one minister, one sitting and one standing, it is really a scene of a prosperous age of virtuous ministers assisting the emperor.

This scene is extremely common, but enough to be recorded in history.

Zhou Nan was attracted by the scene in front of him from the corner of his eyes, and when he heard the question from the superior, he quickly restrained his expression and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Taifu Han, Ge Suluo, the lord of Western Australia, brought a letter of consignment to stay in Honglu Temple, I want to ask for a favor for my son Reg."

"Grace?" Gu Xiu's eyes sank slightly, and he said calmly, "Didn't your envoys from Honglu Temple just come and go back and forth, saying that the Western Australia lord took the initiative to hand over his son to you in shackles?" Yes. Now that Lingnan Dao’s beheading papers have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment for approval, what kind of favor does he want to ask for?”

"Return to Your Majesty, the lord of Western Australia has something to say, if you can pardon his son's life, he is willing to repay the poor family with a thousand taels of gold." Zhou Nan bowed his head and replied: "And he is willing to give 12 taels of gold for the entire territory of Western Australia. The first farm ox thought it was a congratulatory offering this year."

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, these 12 cattle are really worth a lot to Western Australia." Han Mo Chu warmly said, and secretly patted Gu Xiu on the shoulder.

Gu Xiu understood instantly, raised his eyes and said to the person opposite: "I already know what Zhou Qing said, you should go back to Honglu Temple to settle the Western Australian King properly, and allow him to stay and play in Beijing for a while. As for him Regarding the matter of my son, I will discuss it with Taifu Han."

"Yes, I understand." Zhou Nan received the order, bowed and stepped back.

After Zhou Nan left, the two monarchs and ministers in the study dropped their guards in front of others. Gu Xiu got up from the main seat, and pulled Han Mochu to sit on the seat he had just sat on: "Just now, Zi Ran Du I heard, I don't want to set a precedent for this pardon, I just don't know what Ziran wants to say to me?"

"Why don't you know that this regulation can't be opened? Is it true that the Iron Law of the Zhou Dynasty is changed? Once this regulation is opened, how many lords of the outer regions and seas will come here to intercede, and if something happens, they will think that they can lose money and avoid disaster? In fact, As far as I am concerned, what is 20 cattle?" Han Mochu changed places with Gu Xiu in the blink of an eye, without any sense of disobedience or discomfort: "But what I want to say to your majesty is, pity the world Parental heart, Ge Suluo, the lord of Western Australia, had this son when he was over [-] years old. He raised him like a baby, and he caused such a big disaster after only one trip to the sea. Your Majesty, what about Your Majesty?"

"I am not Ge Suluo, and there is no one above me to suppress it. If Yucheng really made such a big mistake like Prince Ruige, I will personally kill him, and then cut off my own arm to thank for the lax discipline." sin." Gu Xiu's bushy brows were covered with a serious and solemn expression: "Ge Suluo would let his people starve and suffer poverty for such a reckless and shameless son, even if Ziran asked this, I really can't help it." Push yourself and others."

"Ge Suluo is old and in power, and has only a few sons. Now that his precious son is in trouble, how can he not use all the power of the country? In other words, if His Majesty really kills his child at this time, then he will use all the power of the country Do you want to take revenge on the Great Zhou? Do all the neighboring countries think that Zhou Jun is cruel?" Han Mochu narrowed his eyes and said softly: "I naturally know that my Great Zhou Dynasty is not afraid of revenge from such a small country like duckweed on the sea, Your Majesty I don't care about the comments of the monarchs of neighboring countries, just..."

Han Mochu got up and pulled Gu Xiu to stand in the study room with a map of all nations that was almost as big as the wall, pointing to the position above the border of the Great Zhou Sea: "It's just that this Western Australian country is the last place between my Great Zhou Dynasty and the outer sea. A barrier. Now Da Zhou's land area plus its dependent territories has an area of ​​about 45 billion hectares, and the coastal defense area is even more extensive. The nearest to the south of my Da Zhou's current sea area is the Land of Vast Sea. On the Land of Vast Sea, there are only Shura, Ganbi, Taixi, and Molin are four small countries. These countries are located in a barren state and send Kunlun slaves to Da Zhou for a living. Although they are not a state, they also rely on Da Zhou for survival. A lot of rare mineral deposits were found in this area, and only a small amount of rice grain and livestock were used to harvest these mineral deposits for weekly use. If Western Australia is separated from Dazhou at this time, other countries located in the outer sea will wait for the opportunity However, Mr. Yi Yi said that they have always been good at stealing and plundering. The small countries in the vast sea have no combat power at all. At that time, Da Zhou will not only defend its own sea area, but also allocate troops to defend their sea area defense line. "

"I understand what Ziran said, but I feel that the matter now is not about whether or not Prince Ruige will be killed." Gu Xiu stretched out his hand to caress the land marked Zhou on the map of all nations, and then clicked on the more On the vast sea, the eyes of this brave and resolute monarch in his prime seem to be shining with a strange brilliance: "Gesullo is old, if I show his affection and let Ruige go back, it will not take a few years." Ge Suluo passed away, at that time Ruige was already full-fledged, how close would he be to Da Zhou? Even though Ruige did not dare to separate from Da Zhou after this incident, if Ruige died after many years, there would be a lot of people in the outer sea Taking advantage of the opportunity to send troops to occupy the border of Western Australia, Dazhou's coastal defense and border will still be threatened."

"So in Yichen's opinion, this Prince Rieger may not be killed, but he must not be pardoned." Han Mochu stood beside Gu Xiu, and what flashed in Gu Xiu's eyes was an unprecedented emperor's desire for territory: "Your Majesty You can summon the fishermen into the capital and ask them if they want to accept the gold. If they accept the gold and agree not to kill Ruige, then His Majesty can order to revoke Ruige's beheading, but they are not allowed to leave the territory of Dazhou for three years. Be sure to wash away his resentment towards Da Zhou. If the fisherman is unwilling to accept the gold, then the original sentence will be upheld. As for the cattle, you can also tell Ge Suluo, no matter which of the two results Da Zhou does not need it. On the contrary, Da Zhou sends fleets and envoys to Western Australia every year, and if he is found to be disobedient, His Majesty can immediately turn him into Zhou."
