Bright Moon and Breeze(209)

As soon as the dynasty was over, the matter of changing the country's name became public.

It used to be on a small scale and only a few people knew about it, but now it’s better and everyone knows it.

Those who were officials in the court were roughly divided into two categories: one category felt that it didn't matter, and the new Ming was the new Ming, and it was still the continuation of the Ming Dynasty! This was equivalent to demonstrating the emperor's merits, and they felt that it was completely pointless to dwell on it.

.The other type feels that the name of the country is different from others, and the name does not mention the Ming Dynasty, but it is different after all. It is the same as the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, is it the same? It is different!

After all, there was still Wang Mang who was messing with the government between the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, but the Ming Dynasty had a smooth transition, so why did it suddenly happen?

Geng Shuming said to his father at home, "Why are you messing around with me?" It was just that he had been on a business trip and was blocked by heavy snow at the inn. As a result, he encountered this problem when he came back, and then he discovered that his father and his father-in-law were together.

, not standing in the same camp. With Er Niang’s temper, she yelled at the good guys as soon as they came in, and asked, “What do you mean by the Geng family?”

In Er Niang’s view, what her father did was to carry other people’s food, but smash their bowls!

It was because of the various relations between the Geng family and Mr. Li that he was re-employed. Now that he has been re-appointed, please keep your position and don’t waver! What’s wrong, I brought you up and put it in the cabinet.

Then you turned around and peed into a pot with the others! This makes people look at the Lin family, the queen, and the emperor who brought you up.

You can pretend to be sick, anyway, you are not young anymore, and the weather is so cold. Even if there are full-time doctors, the doctors at the Imperial Hospital are as smart as monkeys. Wang Kentang, who is in charge of the Imperial Hospital, is better at being an official than you are.

.If you show some interest, he will know what to do. I can open two packs of mugwort for you and soak it at home. Wouldn’t it be over if you hide it and don’t mix it in? Why do you have to mix it in?

How could such a slippery person meet such a father?

Geng Nianqiu waved his hands to his son. He had his own persistence, "Your father has never opposed the emperor on other matters. Anything is fine, as long as it is beneficial to Ming Dynasty. If your father causes trouble, how can you blame me?"

It’s not an exaggeration! But this matter is different from others! Study clearly, be loyal to the king, and love the country..."

But the king is still the same king, and the country is still the same country. How is it different? Geng Shuming said, "I will change my son's name as soon as possible, whether it is called Geng Nanbei or Geng Dongxi... If I change my name, I will no longer be your son."

Yes? You are just a stubborn old man. What do you want to call it? People are the foundation of a country. People have not changed, so why don’t we compete with each other?"

Geng Nianqiu’s thoughts were as follows, “We have to admit that since the Emperor ascended the throne, every single thing he has done, and the government has been clean and bright, are all his merits. But where does this go? To show off his merits in this way is to

What to do? What do emperors fear most? Being arrogant and resting on their laurels... and then what?"

Geng Shuming looked at his father with eyes full of surprise, "You actually think so?"

This is only one aspect, the main thing is inheritance and filial piety! The kings of the past dynasties are stupid kings, and anyone can criticize them, but not the emperor. Now, isn’t this behavior criticizing the past emperors?

Geng Shuming asked his father, "What do you think the emperor did that was not pragmatic and had a clear purpose? In this matter, what you think is just what you think. Do you really understand what is hidden behind it?"

"He felt that he didn't understand how to break up with his old man.

If you don’t understand it by talking about it, then we won’t talk about it anymore!

He went out directly, and about half an hour later, he brought the imperial doctor back.

Geng Nianqiu frowned, "What to do?"

Geng Shuming looked at Wang Kentang and said, "My father is... uncomfortable and stubborn. He can ignore his body, but he can't be a son and a daughter! It is convenient and honorable for us to have a father who is in the cabinet, but no matter how convenient it is, we can't.

Glory is not as important as the old man living well and making his children and grandchildren feel at ease."

Wang Kentang nodded repeatedly and looked at the rosy-faced Mr. Geng Ge, "I'll give you a safe pulse."

Involuntarily, he pulled out his son's arm and showed his wrist to the doctor.

Wang Kentang was puzzled, this pavilion elder was in great shape.

Yes! Isn't it great! This is all thanks to the emperor. When the imperial doctor asked for Ping'an Pulse when he was a child, he adjusted it. When the solar terms changed, he took various health-preserving pills. As for his daily habits, he took

It's light. As the emperor's diet goes, the emperor is like that, so we don't dare to eat haise. In addition, we don't dare to take concubines. Isn't this just a matter of maintenance? What about sleep? It must be tired.

That's great, but as people get older, two and a half hours of sleep at night is enough. After lunch during the day, the emperor allowed him to take a nap of half an hour.

Therefore, the old man has a normal schedule, eats appropriately, and never consumes his body excessively. He occasionally drinks alcohol, but never excessively. This is because the emperor never drinks excessively, and he does not like people who drink without restraint. He also emphasized that drinking is not allowed while on duty.

So tell me, how many times can you drink alcohol in this year? A few drinks will not do so much harm to your body.

So, these old men were raised one by one, and they were in great spirits.

The emperor is a very talkative person, and he always said that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure, so wouldn’t this state-owned old man be a treasure? The imperial doctors took these old men more and more seriously. Otherwise, in this weather, a person

Can anyone have the energy to go out and do some hard work?

While he was feeling his pulse here, Geng Shuming said: "...My father's eyes sometimes get blurry. Last time I looked at the booklet, the booklet from the Ministry of Household Affairs talked about the tax amount, but he got several numbers wrong..."

Geng Shuming was so angry that he couldn't explain it. It wasn't because he saw it wrong, but because the people below made a miscalculation. As a result, as soon as the discount arrived at the queen's place, it was called back and said it was a recalculation. He couldn't say anything to the Ministry of Revenue.

, after all, it was the book that I checked, didn’t I see the problem? I just said I didn’t know what to do, my eyes were dazzled.

Who would have known that at this moment, my son would point it out.

Wang Kentang looked serious, "If your eyes are dazzled... you still need to nourish your liver!"

Geng Shuming nodded and sighed, "Yes, we are busy today, so it is inevitable to stay up late at night. I lie down at night and think about things, and my mind can't rest... If I don't sleep at night, can my liver recover?"

That can’t be cured! If your liver is not good, your eyes will be bad. If your eyes are not good and your vision is blurry, just pretend it’s not bad.

If you can't be a bad person, you still have to be a bad person. When you are a bad person, you can't sleep well. If you don't sleep well, your liver will be bad, and your eyes will become blurry?

What a vicious cycle!

Geng Shuming had a worried look on his face, "Mr. Wang, look... can my father still be able to withstand the fatigue?"

Wang Kentang withdrew his hand and glanced at Mr. Geng Ge, who was trying his best not to make a scandal in front of an outsider like himself. He had to cooperate. This person was an in-law of the royal family. He seemed to be a bit old and confused. He started

It's messed up.

That has to be moved away, otherwise it will get in the way!

As for whether the liver is good or not, before today, it was really good. But after today, it is probably going to be really bad! After all, anger and depression do have an impact on the liver. My own son used it like this

The method of deposing the elder of the pavilion can really make people angry.

So, he prescribed some medicine to sort out the liver qi. This is also called treating the disease! He said, "If you can't sleep at night, feel heavy and difficult to digest after taking it, and feel stuffy in your chest, take this medicine."

Drinking for three days in a row..."

If you are prescribed medicine, it proves that you are still sick!

Geng Shuming thanked the person, paid him a generous medical fee, and sent the person out. Then he came back and said: "Dad, you are sick, and my son will give you a way to become an official. We have also been cabinet ministers.

Don't think about it. As long as you can't keep up with the emperor's pace, you have no chance. Even if you live to be a hundred years old and serve as an official until a hundred years old, you will still be stuck in this position. If you can't get up, it's you.

It's a question of ability. If you can't do it, it's because the emperor is willing to give our family face. So, don't be ignorant. You are sick and your liver is not good. You can't be angry, anxious, tired, or worried. Go to bed early at night and have a leisurely time.

Otherwise, you will feel dizzy. What if you see something wrong next time and delay important events? You can’t not give the queen face, but every time you make a mistake, you have to use the face of my wife and my father-in-law..."

Geng Nianqiu's hands were shaking with anger, he grabbed the tea cup at hand and smashed it, "You bastard..."

It was smashed, but not smashed. Geng Shuming ran like a monkey. When he got to the door, he closed the door and locked it from the outside. He hung the key around his neck and said, "Dad, you won't climb through the window.

Right? Let’s not do such a disgraceful thing. You take good care of your health. What are you doing out on such a cold day? Your son will serve you delicious food and drink, and hire a troupe for you to sing in the yard.

All dramas are fine. Just sit in the room and watch through the window. It's warm and comfortable. After this winter, when spring comes, your health will be better, and things will probably be settled. You can go live in the mountains.

, there is a house built for Zhishi Ge Lao, and that place cannot easily occupy a courtyard. It is really an honor to live in it! Think about Ye Xianggao, who lives in such a courtyard. Think about Shen Congzhe,

He is still compiling books in the labor camp. He is recuperating now and will live in a nursing home in the future. If he comes out now, he will go to a labor camp in the future. Just listen to your son and just stay well! After the commotion in the house, call me

Your daughter-in-law heard this, and you saw her temper. When you go back to the palace and say this and that in front of your mother-in-law, not only will you be ruined, but your son will also be worried. Just think that if you leave, there will be a room for the elder.

Position, maybe the emperor is very happy, seeing that his son is so well-informed, capable, and has you as a high-ranking minister in the family, so he asked his son to join the cabinet! Father and son, minister, dad, this is also a good story! You

If you can't think about it, just think of it as making room for your son, okay?"

What a fart! A vase was thrown out of the window, and it shattered with a clang.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, this thing is not cheap. "Starting from this month, our meat purchases will be halved." You can't get used to this old man who breaks things all the time!

Shi Shiran left, and Geng Shuming was confined at home by his own son. Then he wrote a touching poem and sent it to the emperor, praying for Geng Nianqiu to become an official.

It was even written in the book that he only regarded the emperor as satisfied with the status quo, and was worried about having a great success, but when he turned around and thought, isn't he an old fool? How could the emperor be such an emperor? In the end, he invited the imperial doctor, who said it was liver disease. Not good. The liver qi is not comfortable, the ministers are sighing, and are full of negative energy. Such ministers really can no longer serve as errands, as they will delay state affairs.

So, I am really sorry that I can no longer serve you. But I am really grateful. After I passed middle age, I thought I would spend my life wandering in the mountains and forests. Who knew that I would meet a wise king and become a cabinet minister all the way. Well Love is so great that there is no way to repay it.

The Fourth Master pushed the fold to Tongtong, "Look!" Look at how smart this Geng Shuming is.

Lin Yutong laughed, couldn't she tell if this Mr. Ge was sick? Geng Nianqiu was in great shape, but he was restrained by his son.

That's fine too.

He was allowed to take office, and Geng Shuming was appointed to serve as a minister of the cabinet and temporarily handle cabinet affairs.

This is similar to internship and probation. If both internship and probation are acceptable, sooner or later you will be able to become a full-time employee.

Geng Shuming handed the folder to his father from the window, "Look...look..." After living at such a long time, this official became more and more retired.

Geng Nianqiu said, "Do you think you are more capable than others? That's why you joined the cabinet?"

I'm not like Ruge, I'm just walking. The Emperor has given me this opportunity, and it's up to me whether I can seize it or not.

Geng Nianqiu said: "The emperor is showing the world that if you follow him, he will promote you! If you don't follow him, he will move him away directly. You, you just happened to catch up with the emperor and wanted to set an example. Let everyone see it."

Yes! I know! Isn’t this the cusp of the storm that I’m trying to grab? You’ve caused trouble. This is the only way to keep our family out of trouble and go one step further. So I must grab this cusp of the storm. .

Don't think that this opportunity doesn't matter. There are many capable people in the world, but why are there only a few who stand out? After all, these people have some abilities that others don't have.

He didn't think it was anything, he was just proud, "So what if I'm not an eagle, even if I'm an old hen, I can rise to the top if I ride on the wind."
