Good man, he has a golden finger

Chapter 178 The Emperor Enjoys Loneliness

There was no peace in the court today. The civil servants and military attachés were almost quarreling below. The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was not angry and assertive. He just looked down and allowed the courtiers below to be as chaotic as in a vegetable market. In a ball.

"The Turks are like beasts. Now they are harassing the border in winter. This time they are massacring people on a large scale. Since you are in Kyoto, you can't see this. So you just don't send troops. If you don't send troops, the people on the border deserve to die. Right? I hate you weaklings the most. You have to get someone to knock on your door before you can resist, right?"

The person who was furious at this time was General Meng, who had been a general when the Supreme Emperor was here. He was a real general. It is said that the children of these generals rarely died well, but when the Supreme Emperor was here, he trusted General Meng extraordinarily. After the general was wounded on the battlefield, he retreated and handed back the military talisman. The six sons he gave birth to later went to the border to garrison and were scattered in various places. After many years of death and injury, only one son remained.

If the Yong Dynasty and the Turks had a mortal feud, then General Meng's family had a blood feud with the Turks.

Five of the six children returned home carrying the coffin, and the white-haired one sent the black-haired one away. There was a reason why General Meng hated the Turks so much.

"General Meng's words are wrong. It's a very cold winter. Not to mention that the Turks are good at guerrilla tactics. If all the troops of our Great Yong Dynasty are used against the Turks, how will we arrange the food and grass? If we launch a campaign in winter, Beijing will China can’t support it, won’t it be the people who will suffer?”

The person who spoke was from the first rank of the Hubu Shangshu. He was in charge of the treasury. Naturally, he knew that the treasury of the Great Yong Dynasty now had grain and grass. But if a war was launched in winter, how would the grain and grass be transported out?

"Besides, the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, and there is really no end to blood. General Meng, you can't just look at it..."

Others were also trying to persuade him, but these words were like adding fuel to the fire, making General Meng even more angry. If it weren't for his poor health and missing a leg, he would have gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

That's right, General Meng has a broken leg.

His face was red with anger at this time, and he got into a quarrel with the literati. The same was true for other generals. They were all bloody people, and they vaguely felt that the Holy Emperor wanted to send troops, so naturally they refused to give in.

In this way, the court hall was as noisy as a vegetable market. The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, took a sip of herbal tea and then coughed twice.

At this moment, all the literati and military generals fell silent. They each returned to their positions and bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to look at the Holy One above them.

"Dear ladies, have you come up with a result after deliberation?"

The current emperor is forty years old this year, which is when middle-aged people are at their strongest. At this time, the steady voice spread throughout the hall, making the officials below dare not say a word.

"It seems there is none."

Xie Guanyu, now the Holy Emperor, glanced at the courtiers below and did not blame them.

"The Turks' harassment of the border will not be discussed for the time being. Tomorrow, all my dear friends will submit a memorial. My mother's birthday is coming soon, and I don't want my mother to have to worry about these things."

Naturally, the emperor had his own meaning in what he said. Everyone below them immediately bowed their heads in greeting, and the topic turned to the Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday. After some discussion, they retired from the court.

Coming out of the main hall, the emperor looked indifferent. The companion who had accompanied him since childhood knew that the emperor was feeling uncomfortable. He thought of the news reported by the little eunuch below and said quickly.

"Your Majesty, Prince Anle came to the palace in the morning. He said he wanted to see you for something. He is waiting eagerly outside the imperial study."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor felt much better. Thinking of his eldest son, in fact, the emperor's first son, who doesn't feel sorry for him? But he still adopted the child to his younger brother, and now he is trembling with fear when the child enters the palace, and his heart softens.

"You are outside? Why don't you take me to the study to wait?"

The imperial study is very large, with a side hall specially designed to accommodate people.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The chamberlain below has arranged His Royal Highness in the side hall. It's freezing outside now, so Your Majesty came here early. I'm afraid he might have some good things to give to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is always thinking of His Majesty."

The endearing words of the eldest companion made the emperor's face feel a little softer. Thinking of this son, he was quite gentle.

He does not expect this son to do anything big in the future, as long as he can be the king of peace and happiness, just like his mother and he once expected for his younger brother, peace and joy are what he wants in his life.

While he was talking, the emperor had already arrived at the imperial study. As soon as he sat down, Xie Jinyu was invited over by his companion. After all, at this time, only His Royal Highness could make the emperor happy.

"Greetings to the Holy One."

Kneeling down to salute, Xie Jinyu had long been accustomed to the distance between him and the person in front of him. He was obviously his father, but he was the farthest away.

"Get up." The emperor was a little curious. This child didn't dare to see him in the past, but now he took the initiative to come to the palace, fearing that something might happen.

Xie Jinyu got up from the ground. The companion beside him had already placed a chair for Xie Jinyu and asked the child to sit down under the emperor's gaze.

Sitting there, Xie Jinyu was also a little restless and did not dare to look directly at the face of the Holy Lord. He just looked at the ground and said eagerly.

"I came to the palace this time to find a sacred object, and I came here specifically to offer it to the Holy One."

He looked a little afraid of the emperor, but the emperor looked at his eldest son, feeling helpless.

When he was the prince, all his first children were women. This is why the emperor always did not want the prince to ascend the throne. He thought that he could only go further if the prince gave birth to a son.

But later, the younger brother experienced two poisonings and died tragically. The emperor was so shocked that he died. The 22-year-old prince ascended the throne and became the emperor. At that time, he already had five daughters. It took two years to have such a first. Xie Jinyu, the eldest son.

The emperor was absolutely lying when he said he didn't feel sorry for the child. After his concubine gave birth to such a son, he directly made her a concubine. Although the child was adopted to his younger brother after he was one year old, the emperor watched him grow up since he was a child. Moreover, King Anle's future fiefdom in Jiangnan will also be given to this child.

"Raise your head, if you want anything, look at me and talk."

Nowadays, the emperor has few people in the palace who can speak to him. Apart from his mother and queen, his sons are as afraid of him as tigers and leopards, let alone the concubines in the palace. The emperor enjoys being the leader among thousands of people. But it is really lonely.

Xie Jinyu raised his head, and his beautiful face made the emperor look at it a few more times. He thought to himself that this boy is getting more and more beautiful. How will he arrange for this child to be a royal concubine in the future? Sixteen is not too young anymore. The last time the Queen asked the child if he had a girl he liked, the child was still blushing.

Looking up tremblingly, Xie Jinyu saw His Majesty's face that had a look of age. Xie Jinyu suddenly thought of the person he met last night. His Majesty looked like that person when he got older. He was really exactly the same...

"Your Majesty, this is the divine object brought by His Royal Highness."

After checking the telescope and confirming that it was not poisonous or a lethal weapon, Daban took the thing up and placed it on the table.

Seeing the telescope, Xie Jinyu suddenly thought of Xie Tingzhou's smiling eyes, and immediately spoke directly without fear of the saint.

"Your Majesty, this is a telescope. As long as you put it in front of your eyes, you can see far away. I saw the soldiers on the city wall at the White Jade Tower before. Please give it a try."

He thought that if such a magical object could be used on the battlefield, wouldn't the Great Yong Dynasty be invincible?

The emperor was also interested in this thing. He stretched out his hand, picked up the telescope, put it in front of his eyes, and then looked straight outside the room. This was incredible. He actually saw the front directly from the telescope. The palace guard who changed guard even saw the other party's appearance clearly.

If you take the telescope away, you can't see anything, but if you put it in front of you, you can see this person right in front of you.

In an instant, the emperor also knew the function of this thing, immediately stood up and walked outside.

Everyone quickly followed and saw that after the emperor left the imperial study, he stood at the door and looked into the distance with a telescope. The farthest distance was that he could see the palace gate. Such a long distance made the emperor unable to bear it. 's mind was agitated.

"This thing is indeed a divine thing! I'm afraid I can see people thousands of meters away in front of me!"

The imperial study room was at least a kilometer away from the palace gate, but the emperor could clearly see the people over there, and he suddenly had a different view of this thing.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the person who gave this thing to me said that this thing can see the scenery thousands of meters away. If this thing can be used on the battlefield, then our army of the Great Yong Dynasty can be invincible. "

On the battlefield, seizing the opportunity is the most powerful thing. Xie Jinyu also learned the art of war, so naturally he expected this thing to play a good role on the battlefield.

As soon as the emperor heard the child's words, he knew that the child was sincere. With such a magical object, he was the first to be sent to the palace. He thought of the army and did not put it in his hands to play with. He was indeed a good child.

Reaching out and patting Xie Jinyu's shoulder, the emperor looked like a kind father.

"Jinyu has me in his heart, as well as the people of the Dawn of our Great Yong Dynasty. Daban, I will take Jinyu to Zhen's private treasury to pick out a few items he likes later. You can choose whatever he likes."

The companion on the side said "Hey."

Xie Jinyu was stunned for a moment by the sudden intimacy of the Holy Master, and then immediately reacted and knelt down.

"I thank the Holy Spirit for this gift."

Such observance of etiquette made the emperor feel sour in his heart, but he also knew that their identities were different now, so he could only sigh in his heart.

"Get up."

When Xie Jinyu stood up again, the emperor was no longer as gentle as before. However, Xie Jinyu did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt that such a saint was the saint in his heart.

Some didn't know whether to talk about that person or not, and Xie Jinyu's tangled look caught the emperor's eyes.

"What's so embarrassing? Is it for you to look like this in front of me?"

The emperor still loved his son very much. Although this son was given to his younger brother, he was nominally his younger brother's son, but the bloodline was continuous.

When Xie Jinyu heard such questions, he didn't continue to struggle and said directly.

"Your Majesty, I met a person last night who looks very similar to you, just like you when you were young..."
