Poor children

Chapter 193: Mind the world and don’t stick to trivial matters
一
Tianxing didn't pay attention to Hongwen at all. He just dragged the pauper up the steps again and showed up at Ruihua Hall.

"You must take a look at the palace I have chosen for you. You will definitely like it," Tian Xing said.

Pao'er just smiled and said to Hongwen, "You go back first and come back during dinner."

Hongwen understood and sent the two of them off.
From the front of Dachangping Hall to the east, we walked through a magnificent red-painted gate, walked along the corridor for a long time, and came to a palace gate. The palace gates here are different from other places, painted in gold. The plaque on the main entrance has the three characters "Ruihua Palace" written in gold on a blue background by Tianxing himself.
This is a relatively independent palace with five entrances, all in the style of a Jiangnan courtyard. It is quiet and elegant. There is also an exquisite small garden in the backyard of the palace, and a stream of living water meanders through it from west to east.
Tianxing recently asked people to transplant many frangipani flowers, all of which were supported by wooden stands. He also opened up a few open spaces for poor children to cultivate herbs. The water source of the well in the backyard is from the spring in the back mountain. Other rare birds Everyone is attracted by this beautiful scenery
"It's beautiful here. It suddenly reminded me of Taoranju in the northwest." The pauper sat down in the pavilion by the stream.

"It's fine if you like it." Tian Xing just stood aside and stared at her blankly

"Why are you standing all the time? Come and sit down." Paoer stretched out his hand to pull Tianxing to sit down.
"Is Hong Yue in your father's hands?" Tian Xing felt the cold touch of Pao'er's hand and saw her frowning. He had already known the prince's methods.

"Your Majesty should have known this for a long time." Pao'er sighed, but did not dare to look at Tianxing anymore.

"What are his conditions?" Tianxing asked

"He wants to be the regent."

Tian Xing held Pao'er's hand suddenly with some force. He paused for a long time and asked, "What do you think?"

"My child is in his hands. As a mother, I must know what I think. Your Majesty must know. I just don't know whether your Majesty values ​​Hong Yue or Jiangshan more." Pao'er's hands became colder and his face became uglier.

"Your father's methods..." Tian Xing hesitated to speak.
"I know, it's just that he is in his twilight years after all, with you and me here, what kind of storms can he make again?" said the poor boy

"Tomorrow I will ask Deshun to announce that my father-in-law has entered the palace..."

"I heard that Your Majesty has been in trouble recently, and there are many obstacles from the old ministers of the previous dynasty?" Pao'er suddenly asked.

"Yes! It's just that I can't kill everyone. If I add more killings, I won't be able to convince the public..."

Tian Xing was about to say something but stopped. He went through all kinds of hardships before he reconciled with Pao Er, but why did he end up hurting her heart again?

"Princess Zhihui has a pure nature. Although she is a bit arrogant, she is also cute. Your Majesty, marrying her will help the old dynasty to feel at ease." What Tian Xing thought of, Pover'er had already thought of for him. "I heard that You invited the former emperor to become a monk at Lingjiu Temple. Giving them a way to survive will also show your majesty’s magnanimity..."

"It's just that they want Zhihui to be the queen..." Tianxing thought about how to discuss with the poor children.

The poor boy also remained silent, not knowing what Tianxing was going to do.
"You are the queen that my matchmaker is marrying. You have done nothing wrong. Naturally, I will not depose the queen. I want to discuss with you. I wonder if you will be willing to be a queen once and for all?" Tian Xing rubbed his hands and looked at the queen anxiously. Son
"Since His Majesty has already made a decision, let's do as His Majesty wants, but the poor boy also has a request," said the poor boy

"Just say it, as long as I can do it..."

"I want your majesty to grant amnesty to the world on the wedding day and make my son Hongwen the prince of the prison country. If Zhihui succeeds in the future, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, he cannot shake Hongwen's status." Pao'er only wants to pave the way for Hongwen. nothing matters

"Hongwen has you as his mother to love him. I think his biological mother Izumi Izhi is also comforted." Tianxing knows that poor children are human beings, so naturally he feels comforted.

"At that time in the northwest, a motherless child came to me. He was close to me and he called me mother sincerely. He treated me like my own mother. He was my biological son..." The pauper was very moved when he talked about Tian Xing, and pulled the pauper into his arms.

"That's right! Your Majesty..." Pao'er asked again, "Did the old emperor send him away?"

"No, still in Changle Palace"

"Ask Gao Zijing to send him off in person, and then select a few trustworthy people to accompany him to become a monk. Watch him. If there is any change, let him die naturally," said Pao'er.

Tian Xing nodded and signaled Eunuch Deshun to pass on Gao Zijing.
"Where is the old queen?" Paoer asked again.

"Originally, I wanted to send her to the back palace for retirement. Zhihui cried and said that she was old and in poor health. I couldn't bear her suffering and wanted her to retire in Changle Palace. I have already agreed," Tianxing said

"It's difficult because of Zhihui's filial piety, so just leave her here. As long as she keeps a low profile, it doesn't matter," said Pao'er.

"Why didn't you see Zi Tong?" Tian Xing then thought of his daughter
"She worshiped her master, a master who lived in seclusion in the mountains. The master refused to go down the mountain, so she went to the mountains herself to respect her. My eldest brother has already gone to pick her up and should be back soon," Poverty said

"That girl's temper is just like mine. She is stubborn and will do whatever she wants to do." Tian Xing laughed.

"Of course I believe what your majesty said. After all, my aunt has been in the Central Plains a long time ago. Your majesty's retreat is really impressive," said pao'er.

"I know that this move is a bit dangerous, but since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. As a ruler, you have many options," Tian Xing explained.
"What your Majesty said, I understand in my heart that it is a foregone conclusion now. There is no need to say more about the past. I just ask that Your Majesty bury Old General Gan and Mrs. Gan properly." Po'er's voice actually trembled when he said this.
Tian Xing naturally felt sad, "For the sake of the country, if the old general and Mrs. Gan knew about it, they would naturally be willing to do so. They just pity Zi Tong, but she should be lucky to have a mother like you."

"Where's my cousin? Where is she?"

"Huazang Temple in the northeast corner behind the palace" Tianxing replied

"Cousin, the big thing is over. It seems that there is no problem now. I want to clean up..." The poor man stood up and walked to the stream, and unexpectedly found many happy fish swimming in the stream.

"My cousin has dedicated his whole life to the northwest. Now that he has retreated from the battlefield, he is not even willing to enjoy any blessings. If you have time, please go and see more for me." Tian Xing also stood up and came to the poor boy's side, hugging him her shoulders
"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are always poor people around..."

"With you here, what else do I have to worry about?" Tian Xing said

"When will Your Majesty get married?" the poor boy asked again

"The day Prime Minister Han will visit is the eighth day of next month," Tian Xing replied.

"The eighth day of the lunar month? I'm a bit pressed for time. It seems that the palace is quite busy..."

"Will you help me take care of it?" Tian Xing asked

"Zhihui has been favored by thousands of people since she was a child, so her demands are naturally higher. What I do may not be in line with her wishes, so let her take care of it by herself..." Pao'er said again, "Your Majesty, I haven't had Pao'er in a long time. I cooked the meals myself, let's rest in Ruihua Palace tonight..."
