I have to admit that Dai Guogong's paintings are indeed very powerful. The emperor had heard from ministers before that Dai Guogong was not only an outstanding poet, but also a painter.
But at that time, the emperor only heard about it, but Qianfu Tu saw it with his own eyes and couldn't help but admire it.
Frankly speaking, it is not inferior to everyone who left a name in history.
Now this painting is more subtle and advanced.
Not to mention that this person is his own grandson, he is just an ordinary minister or student. With such talent, the emperor will also appreciate it. As long as any skill is powerful enough, it will be praised.
"It turned out to be Dai Guogong's advice. He didn't want the ambiguity with Xinping to continue to ferment."
After the emperor read it, he felt enlightened and asked Eunuch Zhao: "What do you think of Xinping's desire to become a Taoist?"
Eunuch Zhao's eyelids trembled, he glanced at the emperor, and answered cautiously: "I dare to say that after the princess was grounded, I went to see the princess according to the emperor's instructions, and she was accompanied by the nuns in the palace. I can be sure.
The princess is still perfect."
After saying this, he paused. Seeing that the emperor was not angry, he continued: "It can be seen that the princesses are getting along well together. It's just that I didn't know the identity of the Duke before. As a princess who loves talents, she has some appreciation for talented scholars."
"From the perspective of this old slave, the intention of Dai Guogong's painting is quite good. It can be seen that Dai Guogong also hopes to quickly quell this rumor."
"As for the previous rumors, they were just based on rumors. The common people always like to hear such erotic rumors about high-ranking people, and they even make up nonsense. The old slave thinks that we should order an order to stop this rumor, find the source, and kill them as a warning to others."
The emperor sat there and listened silently. In fact, he also felt that Eunuch Zhao was right about this matter.
But I don’t know why, when I heard this, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and didn’t give an answer immediately.
After a moment of silence, the emperor stood up, looked at Chun Yu outside the palace, took a few breaths, and then asked: "How are the two kings of Shu and Qi doing recently?"
Eunuch Zhao had long been accustomed to the emperor's words, and his thoughts were not confused at all. He lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, I asked the old slave to keep an eye on the two princes' mansions and officials, and found that they were still fighting recently. Although they did not dare to attack directly,
But in private, not only are they very cold when meeting each other, these officials are also a stumbling block in the yamen."
"Two or three officials have been dismissed recently, all because of fighting with each other."
"However, when the King of Shu died some time ago, he made Princess Ning Guo his concubine and wrote a letter to be sent to the Ning Guo rebels."
"The emperor ordered the army to support the border nearby and was in a stalemate with Ningguo. Ningguo received the letter. Although he did not retreat immediately, he did not attack the city again. Instead, he asked for 30,000 shi of food, saying that the siege was only due to lack of food. In order to survive, as long as the court gave
If you get relief, you can withdraw your troops."
This is a good thing. Whether it is the wisdom of the King of Shu or the concession of Ning Guo, it is rare to hear such good news. Because of his old age and illness, the emperor is no longer willing to have more foreign enemies. He should be in a better mood, but I don’t know why his heart is so full.
, still hanging heavy things, unable to show his joy.
Seeing that the emperor was not happy after hearing the news, Eunuch Zhao's heart sank and he lowered his head even further.
The emperor had a sullen face, and suddenly an idea came to him, and he slapped the case.
Even though Eunuch Zhao was calm, he was so frightened that his body trembled. Fortunately, he did not lose his composure. He quickly glanced at the emperor and saw that the emperor seemed to have figured something out.
The emperor was thoughtful, sat down in front of the case, and tapped the case with his fingers.
"My original intention was to have the grandson of the emperor enter the game and fight with the kings, but in the end, the grandson of the emperor, who was acting for the Duke, only took the first blow and almost stayed out of the fight. It is said that he also gained a lot of reputation?"
"Is this the result of luck or calculation?"
Luck is acceptable, but if the result is calculated, then the emperor's grandson's scheming government is shocking.
After the emperor reached middle age, his suspicions became more and more serious. Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: "Did Duke Dai go into the palace to see the queen again?"
Eunuch Zhao was standing breathless and attentive, but Ke Rao had already had a vague hunch that the emperor's old habit had returned, but he did not expect that not long ago, he had shared a meal with the queen again and sent the queen a lot of money.
A good thing was missing, and in the blink of an eye, suspicion was placed on the queen again.
Eunuch Zhao cautiously replied: "Back to the emperor, except for the day when I met the emperor when I paid homage to the emperor, I never saw the empress again after taking the place of the Duke."
Also, the queen has never been very involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Although she had a quarrel with herself more than ten years ago because of the prince's affairs, it was human nature and a normal reaction of a mother.
Although I care about the emperor and grandson now, it is also reasonable for me to doubt the queen again. It is really wrong.
With this thought in mind, the emperor no longer mentioned the queen's affairs, but solemnly ordered: "According to my decree, Xinping is allowed to enter Taoism. As for the place to enter Taoism..."
Before the princess of the Wei Dynasty entered Taoism, the royal family selected famous mountains near the capital and renovated them. They said they were Taoist temples, but they were actually palaces.
With this precedent, the emperor thought about it. Now there is no luxurious Taoist temple in the capital that can accommodate female crowns. Xinpingzhen became a Taoist, and she can be regarded as the first princess of Dazheng to become a Taoist. It seems that this Taoist temple needs to be renovated and a place should be chosen for it.
Xinping.
So he casually said: "Qingyun Temple in Qingyun Mountain outside Beijing was originally the Taoist temple for Princess Yichun of the previous dynasty. Qingyun Temple was given to Xinping, and the Ministry of Finance allocated money to rebuild it so that she could practice peace of mind there."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right now." Eunuch Zhao responded immediately.
The emperor pondered for a long time, glanced at the vast spring rain, and said gloomily: "There is also the Duke Dai's Mansion, and people have strengthened the supervision of the Duke Dai's Mansion. I want to know every move of the Duke Dai, that is, private contacts,
No matter how big or small it is, it must be reported."
"Yes, I obey the order."
"Also, we need to speed up the search for the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart. Later, you can personally urge Liu Zhan so that they don't slack off."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhao responded again.
The first two orders were part of daily work for Eunuch Zhao, who was in charge of the Imperial City Department and was the eunuch at the head of the imperial court. Especially the renovation of the Taoist temple was insignificant and was nothing more than a small expenditure of money.
As for the last item of searching for the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, the Imperial City Division is mainly responsible not for searching, but for supervising.
The Taoist priests from the three parties are all looking for the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart. The Imperial City Division is the sharp sword hanging above their heads. They must not slack off in urging and must find this thing as soon as possible so that they can refine the Great Return Pill for the emperor.
"The greatest thing is to find the exquisite heart with seven orifices."
Although foreign ministers and internal ministers seem to be ministers, they are actually different. For the personal servants of the royal family, their position is not with the world, but with the emperor himself. If the emperor lives forever, the drastic changes caused have little to do with the eunuchs.
.
Eunuchs who don't understand this, no matter how smart or talented they are, will die.
