Dahan first prince

Chapter 91 The style of respecting the old, the Han is the most

Walking forward with sticks together, they came to a position about five steps away from Baiguan Gonghou, and saw the oldest old man take another step forward, bowing his hands to Gonggonghou Baiguan with respect on his face.

"All of you, all of you, have made meritorious service to the country and killed nobles in battle; or courtiers who hold wats in temples and plan the livelihood of the people."

When the panicked faces of all the officials calmed down a bit, the old man turned his head again and looked at Liu Ying who was standing beside him with a gentle face.

"The Zhengguo Canal has been blocked for a long time; the people of Guanzhong have no water to irrigate their fields, and it has been almost ten years."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty cares about all the people. The prince is loyal, filial and benevolent. He plans to provide money, food and labor to repair the Zhengguo Canal, instead of levying labor for the people."

"This is the great fortune of the world..."

Speaking these words in a slow tone, the old man stopped talking for a while, as if he was a little out of breath.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yingzi also hurried forward, caressing the old man's back, not forgetting to say with a smile on her face: "Old man praises, praises..."

"This is because the father and emperor benevolently love the people and care about the suffering of the people; the princes of meritorious service and officials are also high-spirited and honest, and they do not hesitate to use private slaves at home for help."

"The benevolence and righteousness of the father and the integrity of the prince, the boy has his own heart; but now, he still dare not be so praised by the old man..."

Seeing Liu Ying's humble posture, the old man gasped for a while, and then nodded to Liu Ying with admiration in his eyes.

After a while, a little reminiscence slowly appeared on the old man's face.

"Thinking back in the past, the second generation went against the law and did everything wrong. The Qin court was ruled by treacherous and corrupt officials, and there were endless disputes in the world."

"At this time when the people are in great distress, Your Majesty's army of benevolence and righteousness will enter the pass, and the soldiers will enter Xianyang, the capital of Qin, without bloodshed.

"After Han Zuo was established, His Majesty was also worried about the livelihood of our qián heads. He gave us the nobles, a hundred acres of land, and a farm house that can accommodate a family of five, thinking that our qian heads can live and work in peace. Book."

"Your Majesty's benevolence, if you look at the sage kings and virtuous kings through the ages, there is no one who can surpass him..."

As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but paused for a moment, stroking his disordered breath, and a little sentimentality appeared on his face.

"Ah~"

"Ji Xia this year, when I heard that His Majesty is in his sixtieth year, the old man felt sad: Your Majesty is already old, and when His Majesty goes with the Supreme Emperor, what should we do for a living as the head of Guizhou?"

"Can the successor's new monarch be like His Majesty, caring about the livelihood of our Guizhou heads and treating us, Guizhou heads, as our people?"

Asking himself with a little sorrow, the old man finally recovered from the emotions in the memories, and when he looked up at Liu Ying, the face covered with traces of time was already filled with peace of mind and hope.

"However, today, the old man can see the prince face to face, without feeling the slightest palpitation, just like soaking in the wind of late spring."

"The crown prince doesn't regard old people as despicable, and he is gentle and friendly to his left and right, even more so than his nephews in later generations."

"What's more, the prince was ordered by His Majesty to build the Zhengguo Canal, but he did not consign us to the head of Guizhou. It can be said that he has shown His Majesty's benevolence..."

Speaking of this, the old man finally turned sideways and bowed slightly to Liu Ying.

"Today, I can see the nature of the prince, I am old, and my heart is settled..."

"If the prince is here, His Majesty will be promoted one day to be among the gods, and there will also be a prince who cares about us and the heads of Guizhou and regards us as the heads of Guizhou..."

Listening to the old man's words full of sincerity and seeing the old man's spine deeply bent by the years, Liu Yingzong was a little acting, and couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration in her heart.

"My father..."

Speaking from her heart, Liu Ying turned her head slightly and looked towards the east, the direction where her father Liu Bang led the army.

"There's still a lot to learn..."

Secretly remembering this self-awakening sentence, Liu Ying stepped forward with a gentle smile, and helped the old man up with a light smile.

When the old man straightened up full of melancholy, Liu Ying did not forget to smile and said: "When the father is victorious over Dai and Zhao, and the teacher returns to the court, the old men and the loyalty of all the people in Chang'an must be passed on to the father."

"Father and emperor treat the people like sons, like birds and beasts; even if you are a little older, you should live a long life..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, several old men couldn't help but nodded one after another, while laughing and saying "yes" again and again, they didn't forget to pat their mouths hidden under the beard.

"Yes Yes."

"Hey, what Your Highness said is true."

"If you hear about His Majesty's benevolence, and fear the priests of the heavens, you should also give Your Majesty a hundred years of life..."

Saying the most sincere and earnest prayer without any affectation on his face, the old man turned sideways with a silly smile and looked in the direction of the Gonghou Baiguan.

"My lords..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the old man showed a little self-ashamedness again, so he stepped forward again, bent down slowly, and bowed his hands deeply to the officials.

Seeing the old man bent down, before the old man's hands were clasped into fists, a few younger figures jumped out of the crowd of officials.

"The old man must not do this!"

"Today, although we have been wronged a little bit, the old man is approaching old age. Even though we have made great achievements in the world, we dare not accept the deep worship of the old man!!!"

"Extremely great!"

"We hold wats in the temple, but thanks to your majesty's trust, to help your majesty govern the people of the world."

"Mo Yan sent out private slaves to build the canal, which means that the family wealth will be lost, and it is only our part!"

"It's all part of my job, I don't dare to treat it as a gift from an old man..."

Within a moment, all the officials, who were still full of fear just now and looked at the crowd with lingering fear, seemed to have changed themselves, scrambling to express how terrified they were when the old men saluted him.

As for Liu Ying, she was also supporting the old man's arm, with a humble and easy-going smile on her face, looking at the scene in front of her, perfectly playing the role of a "tool man".

Cooperating with the people outside Weiyang Palace, who were full of reassurance on their faces and scattered in twos and threes, the atmosphere on Hao Street outside Weiyang Palace was surprisingly harmonious.

Seeing Gonghou and Baiguan acting like this, the octogenarian man who was gently supported by Liu Ying was blinded by the wind and sand when he was also Weng Shi.

"OK·······"

"it is good······"

Nodding with tears in his eyes, the old man smiled and turned his head, and patted his arm with a trembling hand, the hand that was carefully supporting him.

"Your Majesty remembers that we, the head of Guizhou, are the Holy King and the Ming King."

"The crown prince has the benevolent attitude of His Majesty, and in the future, he will also be a virtuous and heroic lord."

Said with a gratified face, the old man couldn't help turning his head to the side again, nodding repeatedly to the officials of Gonghou with tears in his eyes.

"The princes lie in the high gates and have nothing to do with extravagance, and they live in the temples and think about the sufferings of the people. They are very famous!"

"Thousands of years later, the princes will also be honored in history, and they will be worshiped by future generations as famous ministers through the ages!"

Full of words of praise, the old man ignored Liu Ying's dissuasion, and finally put the dove staff under his arm, and bowed his hands slightly to the officials.

"Today, all the gentlemen became private slaves in order to help the crown prince build the Zhengguo Canal. This is a sincere and righteous act!"

"However, we, the head of Guizhou, are stupid and foolish, and we use the heart of a villain to save the belly of the gentlemen; the righteous deeds of the gentlemen are also misunderstood by our foolish people as conspiracy..."

As he said that, the old man couldn't help but shook his head with shame on his face, and looked at Baiguan Gonghou with a little prayer.

"The old man is seventy-nine years old, and he is approaching old age; he has the courage to act on behalf of Chang'an Wanmin, and apologize to the lords in person..."

"Looking at the large number of princes, don't care too much about us and the foolish people in the head of Guizhou..."

"Old man, thank you all court officials..."
