Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 141 Movie Emperor Longqing (Part [-])
Concubine Li Gui didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this kind of thing, although she was born in a farming family and suffered a lot of hardships in life when she was young, she has a resolute personality and rarely wavered in her decisions, but in the end she didn't have any outstanding talents.In her mind, no matter what kind of person the emperor is, in the final analysis, he is her husband and her god.So the emperor suddenly mentioned this kind of thing that seemed to her like "the sky is falling and the earth is falling", and she was a little panicked for a while, not knowing what to do.

In her philosophy, as the emperor's concubine, even if she is a noble concubine, she should speak according to the emperor's mind when it does not involve any "Jiangshan community".However, she didn't want to think about what the emperor said at the moment, so how could she be willing to say it along this line of thought?Did you say to the emperor: Don't worry, I will take good care of my son after you die?
Long Qing sighed, and said: "Recently, I have been thinking that no matter what Emperor Jing said, at least the emperor did not do badly, but in the end...it took so many years to be ratified. I am luckier than Emperor Jing. It can only be mine. However, sometimes I think, what is the problem with why Emperor Jing took the door back then?"

Concubine Li Gui felt a little strange in her heart, and thought to herself: Yingzong is the emperor's great-grandfather (great-grandfather's father), why does he always think about the great-uncle Daizong?

"Later I discovered something. When Emperor Jing discovered the change of seizing the door and there was a commotion in the palace, he actually asked if it was Yu Qian's rebellion... The defeat is not unjust." Long Qing sighed: "Emperor Jing was able to survive at the beginning. Deng Dabao, firstly, was the Queen Mother’s approval, but in fact the most important thing was Yu Qian’s support. Later, Emperor Jing seemed to use Qian more, but in fact he didn’t really trust Qian in his heart, so he asked if Yu Qian was rebelling.”

He looked straight into the eyes of Concubine Li Gui, and said: "So I understand a truth: the civil servants of Ming Dynasty, even if they hold great power or even military power like Yu Qian back then, they will not rebel. On the contrary, some people who are not satisfied with their own status, Regardless of civil servants, military generals or eunuchs, it is possible to engage in speculation and take risks. Therefore, I have been unswervingly using Mr. Gao to govern."

Concubine Li Gui now understands what the emperor wants to express. Although she doesn't know much about Gao Gong at this time, she still knows Gao Gong's teaching and support for the emperor. , There is often some "conflict" between words, which makes this kind of goodwill unavoidably discounted.

"What does the emperor mean?" She asked tentatively.

Long Qing smiled wryly and said: "If something happens to me in the future, you must trust my gentlemen. They may have different personalities, different ways of dealing with people, and even their philosophy of governing may not be exactly the same, but they treat me the same. If you are loyal, you will not have any treasonous thoughts..." He still wanted to speak more clearly, but felt that he had said enough today, and it would not be very auspicious to continue, so he stopped.

Concubine Li Gui didn't dare to let the emperor continue talking, she hurriedly said: "I understand, I remember: the emperor's gentlemen are all loyal and reliable courtiers."

Long Qing opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and finally just sighed: "Well, that's it." Then he stood up and said, "Master Xuan."

Li Wei entered the hall and found his daughter standing beside the emperor, looking a little dazed, and the emperor himself seemed a little distracted.

The old man's heart tightened, he didn't dare to think too much, he stepped forward and bowed his head: "The minister Jin Yiwei is in charge of Li Wei, I have seen your majesty and the imperial concubine."

Three shouts of long live and so on were not so strict in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, especially on such occasions that were not particularly formal.

"Well, the head of the country is flat, and I will give you a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Li Wei was seated, Long Qing and Concubine Li Gui also sat down in advance, Long Qing asked: "Is everything going well for the father-in-law?"

"Going back to His Majesty, everything is going well." The little old man felt that the atmosphere today was not right, so he didn't dare to say a word.

"That's good, thank you for your hard work, Guo Zhang." Long Qing said casually, "Is the Guo Zhang aware of what happened in Tianjing over a few dolls these days?"

The old man Li Wei rolled his eyes, he didn't dare to answer too rigidly, he just said vaguely: "I...have heard about it."

Concubine Li Gui frowned while sitting beside the emperor, but Long Qing didn't seem to mind at all, instead he smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm just afraid that the prince will be alone, after all, his younger brother is too young, and according to the emperor's instructions, The two of them can't play together much, so I want to find him some companions with similar age difference."

"Your Majesty's love and care, the prince must be extremely grateful."

"The prince is benevolent and filial, of course he understands my thoughts." Long Qing said with a smile: "But the outer court is not satisfied. The outer court said that the children of these military officials and noble families are not very decent. They spend a long time with the crown prince. I'm afraid I'm going to bring the crown prince down... What do you think, the king?"

Li Wei was so anxious that his brow was sweating, he thought: What do I think?How the hell would I dare to think about it?You are the emperor, if you say you can't think about it, it's over, how convenient it is for me to think like you!If I'm wrong, am I in big trouble?
"Cough!" Concubine Li Gui coughed lightly.

Li Wei glanced at his daughter secretly, and saw that her daughter was sitting upright with no expression on her face, but with her hands folded in front of her, she stretched out a right index finger, pointed in the direction of the cabinet, and then suddenly pointed upwards. .

The little old man was suddenly blessed, and said loudly: "Ah, I think that Mr. Gao Ge is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If your Majesty has any doubts, you might as well ask Mr. Gao Ge to ask. He will surely relieve your majesty's worries."

It turns out that this little old man can describe Gao Gong with eight words: "Hongwen Boknowledge, Miaomo Gaoyuan", I don't know who taught him.

However, Concubine Li Gui's advice was in place. Although Long Qing could see it clearly, the smile on his face was still wider, and he nodded and said: "What the head of state said is true. I have already asked the cabinet to submit a report on this matter. Mr. Gao and the others discussed that since I am afraid that the prince will be lonely, it is better to choose a few children who have both ability and political integrity but who are similar to the prince's age to study with the prince... , it’s just that the range of selection is a bit too large.”

"Then this is..." Li Wei was a little dazed after hearing this, and was about to say, "Then this will be difficult." Subconsciously, he glanced at his daughter again, only to see that her daughter stretched out another finger, but this time , but pointing to him as the father.

Li Wei rolled his eyes, and just as he saw the emperor's face darken, he hurriedly resumed the conversation: "That's... I'll leave it to the minister. Although the minister is only working in Jinyiwei, he still knows some people after all. Go talk to them, I believe there won't be many ignorant people joining in the fun."

Long Qing frowned slightly, thinking how did this change in your mouth?But then I thought again: Forget it, it’s not easy for him to understand what he means, so let’s just leave it like this, this kind of thing is only suitable for people like him, who else is willing to do this kind of work?If Meng Chong and Feng Bao were allowed to do it, I'm afraid there would be other troubles.Let him go, after all, he is the prince's pro-grandfather, so it's convenient to say that.

So he finally nodded his head: "I am very pleased that the patriarch is willing to share my worries. Come on, I will give the patriarch a bullfighting uniform and two catties of Fujian tribute tea."

The Fujian tribute tea is probably Dahongpao, probably Long Qing thinks that this tea is suitable for the elderly to maintain their health.

Li Wei got up in a hurry to thank you.

Long Qing said with a smile: "The patriarch hurried all the way, and it's been hard work, so let's go back and rest earlier."

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him again, and left.

"Okay, noble concubine, I will go first too." Long Qing stood up and said to Concubine Li.

"Chen and concubine respectfully send the emperor."

After Long Qing left, Concubine Li Gui frowned slightly. After thinking about it, she always felt that something was wrong: Why does it feel like the reason why the emperor came to see my father with me today is to ask me to give him advice?
