Red House Shoufu

Chapter 167 The Eastern Palace and the Way of Loyalty and Filial Piety

The East Palace was newly established. Apart from Lin Shu, Zuo Yude, Zhan Shi's mansion had only Wei Qinghe, the crown prince and grand teacher who concurrently served as Zhan Shi, temporarily.

Gao Wancheng, dressed in a black robe with four dragon patterns, stood outside the gate of the East Palace.Lin Shu, who is the auxiliary minister of the Eastern Palace, is by his side.On both sides are the servants of the East Palace, and the dragon guards who temporarily serve as the Sixth Commander of the East Palace.

"Master Lin, yesterday my father asked Gu if he needed to set up the Six Commanders of the East Palace. How do you think Gu should reply to my father?"

Just after morning, the weather has become very hot.Wearing a neat official robe, the sweat on Lin Shu's forehead never stopped.

Hearing Gao Wancheng's question, Lin Shu replied very solemnly: "Your Highness has just entered the East Palace, you should read more, ask more questions, learn more, think more, but don't think about taking power. No matter whether it is literary or military affairs, you can't do it." Zhan. What you need most now is to follow His Majesty and learn the ways of a king."

In his position, he is responsible for his administration.In the cabinet, Lin Shu is the walker of the cabinet, and his job is to connect the inside and the outside.In the Hanlin Academy, he was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and worked in Jingyan.In the palace, he is the Hanlin waiting for the edict, and his job is to serve the emperor.

And he is now located in the East Palace, Zuo Yude of Zhan Shifu, in charge of satire and advice, and assisting the crown prince.

Regardless of whether the emperor really wanted Gao Wancheng to start contacting military affairs or was a tester, Lin Shu did not agree with the early establishment of the East Palace Six Rates.It is not appropriate to rush to seize power just after establishing the reserve.

After hearing Lin Shu's remonstrance, Gao Wancheng nodded and said: "Master Lin agrees with me. The emperor's grandfather and father appointed me as the heir. In my heart, apart from gratitude, there is only sincerity and fear."

Gao Wancheng sighed twice, then suddenly turned around and bowed to Lin Shu, who was so startled that Lin Shu quickly avoided it.

"Your Highness, you are..."

"Students still have a lot to learn, and I will ask Teacher Lin to teach me more in the future!"

Gao Wancheng insisted on bowing, Lin Shu helped him up, and bowed back: "Your Highness, I accept this gift. From now on, I will do my best to assist Your Highness!"

"Master Lin is a genius in this world, with Master Lin around, he will be alone and worry-free!"

In front of the gate of the East Palace, there was a scene where the monarch and his ministers got along well, and the two waited slowly while chatting.

……

Not far from the cabinet, Chief Assistant Wei Qinghe walked forward slowly, while the two servants who followed him were extremely anxious.

One of them couldn't help persuading him: "Grandpa, if you are tired, the villain will find a soft sedan chair and come here... His Royal Highness is probably already in a hurry."

Wei Qinghe let out a heck, but did not respond, and continued to walk unhurriedly.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Wei Qinghe kept saying hello to the officials on the road, and there was still at least half the distance to the East Palace.

The servant tried to persuade him again: "Grandpa, I'd better find a soft sedan to come over, that's His Highness the Crown Prince. If you are so...you will neglect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"You don't understand, the later your grandfather goes, the longer His Highness the Crown Prince waits, the better it will be for His Highness the Crown Prince, and the happier His Majesty will be!"

Wei Qing and the python-robed jade belt, with their hands behind their backs, slowly moved towards the East Palace.After entering the palace city, the busy maids on both sides of the road bowed and stood on both sides after seeing Wei Qinghe.

As the chief minister of a country, except for the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, everyone must salute first when they meet.This old man who is almost seventy-seven years old is in charge of the political affairs of the Chu army and holds nearly half of the power in the country.

At the gate of the East Palace, Prince Gao Wancheng, who had been waiting for more than half an hour, showed no trace of impatience on his face. He saw the figure in the python robe and jade belt from a distance, and went to greet him respectfully.

Hurrying up to him, Gao Wancheng bowed and bowed down: "Students greet the teacher!"

Lin Shu, the servants of the East Palace and the officers and men of the Dragon Guard also bowed down and shouted in unison: "Welcome Grand Master!"

The sound is like a bell, shaking the world.Even the concubine who was playing in the imperial garden not far away looked curiously at the southeast corner.

The royal concubine Yang and the virtuous concubine Jia who were sitting at the top of the imperial garden looked at the gate of the East Palace, and a group of figures could be seen faintly.

Yuan Chun stroked his stomach with a smile on his lips.If the crown prince is established, she and her children will be able to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

"Are you at ease now? The fourth prince has to be the crown prince, and he has the old assistant of Wei Ge. No matter what the wind and rain outside, he can't come to the harem. The Zhen family can't, and the Wang family can't!"

After hearing the words, Yang comforted Yuan Chun, then looked at the concubines chattering about the East Palace not far from the pavilion, and sighed: "That seat has been reserved long ago, but unfortunately some people can't see it clearly, or they don't want to see it at all. See clearly."

……

The East Palace is small in size, and the door has been locked since the palace change eight years ago.Although people were arranged to clean up the first two days, the depression was still visible.

Wei Qinghe touched the stone table beside him, and closed his eyes feeling deeply for a while.It was on this stone table back then that he, who was still a minister of the Ministry of Rites, talked about poetry and Taoism with the former prince.

Neither Gao Wancheng nor Lin Shu bothered the old man. After Wei Qinghe opened his eyes, he said the first sentence: "Today, the old minister will teach His Highness the first lesson. To be a son of man, filial piety is the first. To be a courtier For those who are loyal, loyalty is the first! From now on, His Highness will always remember this sentence of the old minister, and never forget the way of loyalty and filial piety!"

Wei Qinghe deliberately emphasized the tone of the word "loyalty", and his face did not have the usual amiable look, but instead was sad and serious.

Gao Wancheng seemed to have realized something, and solemnly said: "Students, thank you for your teaching, and you should remember it in your heart!"

……

After coming out of the East Palace, Lin Shu helped Wei Qinghe who was a little tired, and the servants of the Wei family followed far behind.

The old man still walked forward slowly, and when he was out of the palace gate and there was no one around, he said to Lin Shu: "The prince is benevolent and filial, which can be called the blessing of my courtiers. But there is one thing, too much vigor, which is not good for father and son." The sum. If the old man talks too much, His Royal Highness may not listen. You are about the same age as His Highness, please give more advice. Your Majesty is at the peak of spring and autumn, and in ten years, His Highness will be involved in political affairs."

Lin Shu understood the meaning of Wei Qinghe's words, Gao Wancheng was young and energetic, and he might disagree with the emperor on many matters.

At the beginning, the emperor thought that it was a good thing for the prince to be young, aggressive and thoughtful.But the number of conflicts has increased, and as long as someone with a heart provokes a little, the relationship between father and son will become delicate.

The most typical example is the matter of the former prince. Wei Qinghe, who experienced the palace change eight years ago, still has lingering fears.

The energetic Gao Wancheng is so similar to the previous prince.Less than ten years had passed since the fight at the palace gate, and he never wanted to see the scene of father and son trusting each other and brother killing each other again.

Looking at the sad Wei Qinghe, Lin Shu nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I will be vigilant at all times and advise Your Highness."

The two exposed the matter of the East Palace and brought the topic to the river defense.In the past few days, Lin Shu and others are going south, and the news from the various prefectures in Henan has been gathered to the cabinet.

Wei Qinghe whispered a few words to Lin Shu, and didn't stop until he saw the carriage waiting outside the imperial city.

After boarding the carriage, Wei Qinghe turned his head and said before leaving, "Go to Zhengxifang Qianfu before leaving, your teacher should have instructions!"
