Chapter 130: With Zhao Qing as my assistant, what should I worry about?
Yong Temple.
Hu Hai returned to the palace with light steps.
He did not return to the main hall, but went directly to the side hall.
Inside the palace.
Zhao Gao has been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao, pays homage to the Young Master." Seeing Hu Hai, Zhao Gao bowed quickly.
Hu Hai waved his hand.
smiled and said:
"I have already done what Zhao Qing ordered."
"Father is very satisfied with me."
"I just did my duty. Your Majesty is satisfied with the young master entirely because of the young master's pure and true filial piety." Zhao Gao complimented with a smile.
"That's true." Hu Hai nodded.
immediately.
He waved his hands around, signaling the guards on both sides to retreat.
Hu Hai sat on the ground.
Doubtfully said:
"But I still don't understand something."
"You asked me to deliver tonics to my father because he is in poor health and needs tonic. I can understand this, but why do you want me to get involved with Tian Zheng?"
"If I remember correctly."
"This is what the eldest brother proposed."
"By giving me advice to my father, am I not helping my eldest brother?"
"And I don't know how many people in the government and the public have discussed land affairs in recent days. The things I wrote may not be as good as those of the courtiers. If I submit them to you, wouldn't I be ashamed of myself?"
Zhao Gao sneered.
Zuo Yi said:
"Young master, you have a different idea."
"There is a reason why I asked the young master to go to Shu."
"Tian Zheng was indeed proposed by the eldest son, but the eldest son is far away from Xianyang, and now he is in the Chu region. He is beyond the reach of the affairs of the court."
"The real fermentation of the land affairs happened in these two days."
"I have actually been observing secretly."
"Now in the court, the courtiers believe that the land annexation problem is imminent and has reached the point where the court has to solve it. However, the land system in Qin cannot be changed at will, so we can only find solutions elsewhere."
"And make the head of Guizhou come from Shitian."
"This is the best management method at the moment."
"Indeed."
"The eldest son's contribution is not small."
"But the land policy has only been fermenting in the past few days, and the courtiers' remonstrances are still very one-sided. They either only talk about the harm of land annexation, or they only state the benefits of 'making the head of Guizhou own the land', and there is no single article.
Overview.”
"There is actually a reason for this."
"Don't you know that these courtiers should be treated as one and the same?"
"Of course it's impossible."
"They did this on purpose."
"The reason is that this was proposed by the eldest son."
"His Majesty has not confirmed the crown prince for a long time. Although many courtiers have secretly taken sides, they did not dare to show it. Therefore, they could only pretend to be reserved when they went to court, stating only one aspect and deliberately keeping a certain distance from the eldest son."
"There are still some courtiers who don't like the eldest son. Naturally, they will not support the policies proposed by the eldest son. These courtiers only mentioned land annexation and did not mention the policy of 'making the head of Guizhou self-contained'."
"but......"
"This is only temporary."
"Wait for the fermentation of Tianzheng to a certain period of time."
"These courtiers will definitely write a complete memorial and submit it early."
"These courtiers are all smart. They are just showing their attitude to His Majesty first, and they will show their loyalty and ability to Your Majesty later. However, by doing so, they allow the young master to take advantage."
"They dare not submit it directly."
"Young Master can do it."
"And because it was proposed by the eldest son, the young master took the initiative to praise the eldest son's policy, which also reflects the brother's respect for the younger brother. In addition, the young master's memorial is one of the few comprehensive memorials at present. This undoubtedly reflects the young master's overall view.
Be kind and follow the flow.”
"This will make the young master more beautiful in His Majesty's heart."
"Of course, what I told the young master is not comprehensive, but what is the young master's status? Now that the eldest young master is not here, the young master takes the initiative to help your majesty solve your problems. He speaks every word from the bottom of his heart. This sincere filial piety has completely surpassed other young masters."
"The young master is indeed inferior to the eldest son and ten young masters now."
"But the Young Master can continue to gain His Majesty's favor and closeness through the filial piety of Ri Gong Yi Ping, making His Majesty pay more attention to the Young Master. After both the eldest Young Master and the Tenth Young Master made mistakes, the Young Master is undoubtedly His Majesty's best candidate."
Hu Hai nodded excitedly.
Fu Zhang said:
"What Zhao Qing said is absolutely true."
"With Zhao Qing as your assistant, what should I worry about?"
"This is a matter within the bounds of the minister. Don't boast too much, young master." Zhao Gao's attitude was very low, but his eyes were full of disdain and indifference.
But Hu Hai was not happy for long.
He thought of something.
Hu Hai said:
"Zhao Qing, you may not know something."
"Father did not rest in the palace yesterday. Instead, he left the palace and did not return all night."
"My father never indulges in pleasure."
"In my opinion, my father has gone to Brother Ten's place."
Zhao Gao's eyes darkened.
Ning Sheng said:
"Master, don't pay too much attention to these things."
"Your Majesty's going out is actually beneficial to the young master."
"If His Majesty hadn't been out, I'm afraid Your Majesty would have seen the memorials from the courtiers. How would you have the chance to speak out? It's precisely because Your Majesty is out that the Young Master has the opportunity to submit the memorials to Your Majesty first. The Young Master doesn't have any
loss."
"Besides."
"What if Your Majesty gets close to the Tenth Young Master again?"
"The Tenth Young Master has been omitted from the clan register. As long as Your Majesty does not tell the world, the Tenth Young Master will still be a 'dead person' after all."
"How can a dead person inherit the throne?"
"in addition."
"Your Majesty lives in the palace."
"Young Master has seen Your Majesty far more times than the Tenth Young Master. You can be more diligent in your daily life and care about His Majesty from time to time. Isn't it true that meeting him three times a day is closer than seeing the Tenth Young Master once every ten days and a half?"
?”
Hu Hai nodded.
said:
"You're right."
"I have seen my father much more than my tenth brother. Why should I care about this? Besides, the more the tenth brother is valued by my father, the eldest brother is the most anxious."
"Why should I worry?"
Zhao Gaodao: "That's exactly it."
Hu Hai said:
"This is the reason."
"But it seems a bit insufficient."
"I am not the only young master in the palace."
"The other brothers are here too."
"They can also care about my father. My concern will not highlight anything. Does Zhao Qing have other ways to make me look different from other brothers?"
Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows and thought deeply.
After a while.
Zhao Gao thought of it.
He smiled and said:
"That's true."
"Young master, do you remember that I wrote an article called "Yuan Li Pian"."
Hu Hai nodded and said:
"Of course I remember this."
"Isn't that one of the school literacy textbooks?"
"I've even carried it."
Said.
Hu Hai really started to memorize it.
"Heaven, earth, sun and moon, cycle over and over again, cold and summer come and go, the universe is yin and yang, spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain, snow, wind and frost, we work hard to make a living, and we are engaged in business..."
Hear the words.
Zhao Gao's eyes were red, he bowed to the ground, and said with an moved expression: "Young master can memorize the "Yuanli Chapter" written by me. I am so grateful that I can't help but how virtuous and capable I am."
Hu Hai also looked proud and said:
"What's so difficult about this?"
"It's just a thousand-word article."
"But why are you mentioning "Yuan Li Pian"?"
Zhao Gao stood up and said:
"Young master, you don't know something."
"I was just an ordinary eunuch back then."
"It was because of my good calligraphy that I was considered to be quite talented by His Majesty, so I was able to serve His Majesty closely, and I had the opportunity to be promoted to a higher rank and serve the Young Master."
"Your Majesty prefers beautiful and powerful words."
"At that time, His Majesty wanted to standardize the world's writing and let the Manchu ministers and Kanzi officials write the script. A total of three people were selected to write the Qin script paradigm."
"Except me."
"The remaining two people, one is the current court captain Li Si, and the other is the current prince Fu Cheng Hu Wujing."
"At that time, Li Si wrote the "Cangjie Pian", Hu Wujing wrote the "Erudition Pian", and what Chen wrote was the "Yanli Pian" that the young master had memorized earlier. Although the three writing models were different in scope, they were all equally interesting.
, so the three of us were rewarded by His Majesty with food for 200 households."
"Young Master, if you want to please Your Majesty."
"You should practice calligraphy well."
"If the young master wants to stand out from all other young masters, he should work hard on these details. Only if he is satisfied with your majesty, will the young master have a chance to become the crown prince."
Hu Hai looked hesitant.
He doesn't really want to practice calligraphy.
You have an idea of how you want to write.
Practicing calligraphy is not something that can produce results in a short period of time. He prefers methods that can see results quickly. He doesn't like to spend time on these things.
See the situation.
Zhao Gao said coldly:
"How can the young master hold back at this time?"
"Since the young master has made up his mind to fight for the throne, he must try his best. Otherwise, wouldn't the young master's efforts over the years be in vain?"
"What's so difficult about practicing calligraphy?"
"It's just a matter of practicing hard every day."
"I have you here."
"Master, it's only a matter of time before you become good at calligraphy."
"Young master originally had to copy the laws and regulations every day. As long as you have a little standardization of writing, copying the laws and regulations is just practicing calligraphy."
"Young master has surpassed other young masters."
"After the young master's handwriting has improved to a higher level, I will submit the memorial to your majesty. His majesty's eyes will light up when he sees it, and he will praise the young master greatly. How can the young master care about something that is so beneficial to the young master? Turn a blind eye to it?
?”
Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai with hatred.
Hu Hai was also a little angry.
He really didn't want to practice calligraphy, and felt that it was a waste of time and fuss, but he had never had an opinion, and when he saw Zhao Gao speaking so righteously, his eyes became confused.
a long time.
Hu Hai sighed and said feebly:
"Then it's up to you."
"practice!"
Zhao Gao frowned, but when he saw Hu Hai agreed, he didn't say anything more.
He got up, went to the big case nearby, spread out a few blank bamboo slips, touched the ink with a brush, and started writing.
Hu Hai hesitated slightly.
Let's go to the case and observe quietly.
...
the other side.
Ying Zheng opened the lid of the bronze jar containing the soup and looked at the thick oily flowers on the mutton bone soup and the scattered herbs floating on it. He felt queasy in his heart.
He still remembered Qin Luoheng's advice.
The deficiency cannot be replenished.
Before your body recovers, you should mainly eat light food.
The mutton bone soup in front of me is not only greasy, but also exudes a medicinal aroma.
To ordinary people, the mutton bone soup in front of them must be a delicacy, but in Ying Zheng's eyes, this mutton bone soup is harmful. Not only can it not nourish the body, but it will also increase the burden on the body.
