Chapter 353;
Being able to serve as an imperial master
"Many dynasties have changed due to the inaction of the imperial court, which has completely lost the support of the people."
"Then the rebels rose up under the banner of asking for life for the people."
"Our Dongzhou Taizu was also like this at the beginning, right?"
Emperor Hongwen and others nodded in unison.
Isn't it because Dongzhou was founded because the previous emperor was fatuous and made the people miserable?
"The original intention of founding a country is to serve the people."
"But many kings who have been in high positions for a long time will slowly forget this."
Having said this, Lu Yaoyao paused, looked at Emperor Hongwen and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Wanfu has something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
Emperor Hongwen was already shocked by Lu Yaoyao's remarks.
I really want to know what kind of warning words she will say.
"My lord, please remember this sentence at all times."
"The people are the most important thing, the country is the second most important thing, and the king is the least important thing."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Hou Kaiguo and others changed drastically.
This is a bit rebellious.
After all, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Lord of Heaven and Earth is his master, and Jun Naka has always been a superior being, second only to Heaven and Earth.
But at this time, Lu Yaoyao actually ranked Jun at the end. This one might be beheaded.
Everyone turned to look at Emperor Hongwen and found that his expression had changed.
Seeing this, the eldest princess quickly said, "Your Majesty, these words of Wanfu are not meant to belittle you, but to warn you not to forget your original intention."
Emperor Hongwen didn't care at all about what Princess Dachang said.
At this moment, his mind was filled with what Lu Yaoyao said: the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important.
There was a roar in my head.
I have to say that Emperor Hongwen was cruel and suspicious, but the emperor was not cruel?
The main point of suspicion is nothing. After all, who doesn’t want that seat? The person sitting in that seat will inevitably worry about gains and losses.
What about Emperor Hongwen? He killed a lot of people when he first came to the throne, but during his ten years as emperor, he really did a lot for the people of the world.
Maybe he is not a good person, but as an emperor, he still fulfilled his responsibilities.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the people around him became even more worried.
Only Lu Yaoyao was staring at Emperor Hongwen as if nothing happened.
After a while, Emperor Hongwen suddenly came to his senses and stood up.
Seeing this, the eldest princess wanted to intercede again.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongwen raised his hands and bowed to Lu Yaoyao.
"The words of blessing are actually famous words of warning. I learned from them today."
His move made everyone around him stunned.
After being stunned for a short time, Lu Yaoyao quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Hongwen.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this, I can't afford it."
"No, you can afford it."
Emperor Hongwen said it extremely seriously.
Seeing this, the eldest princess felt relieved, with a bright smile on her face.
My royal brother is really good.
The founding princes, everyone in the Wen family, and everyone in the Dong family looked at Emperor Hongwen and Lu Yaoyao with mixed feelings and admiration.
Princess Wanfu was a talented person, and Emperor Hongwen also impressed Tan Mo at this moment.
King Jin looked at Emperor Hongwen with a very complicated mood.
Suddenly, I remembered what Lu Yaoyao said when he and Lu Yaoyao left the palace yesterday.
The current situation in Dongzhou is very good, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Although Emperor Hongwen was not a good person, he was a qualified emperor.
The world belongs to Xiao, but the world belongs to the people of the world.
As Lu Yaoyao said, the people are like water and the king is like a boat. If the people are not good, how can the king be good?
"Hail, oh, how come you are a girl?"
"If you were a man, I would definitely make you the emperor's master."
"You can't take it seriously. Along the way, I have seen a lot of suffering that you and everyone else can't see, so I have these insights."
"My daughter is a subject of Dongzhou. What I wholeheartedly hope is that Dongzhou is stable, because only in this way can my life be stable."
"This is also the thought of the people in the world, so Your Majesty also asks you to think more about the people in everything. I thank you again."
Lu Yaoyao saluted again.
"I will definitely do it."
Afterwards, the group of people chatted about the workshop for a while. The founder of the country, the Wen family and the Dong family all wanted to participate, and the eldest princess also wanted to participate.
However, the four of them only have a half-percent share, but fortunately Lu Yaoyao plans to build a lot of workshops. Although it is only half-percent, the income will not be low if it is really created.
As for King Jin, he didn't say that he wanted to participate. After all, he already had 10% of the salt revenue in his hands. Any more would be unsightly.
"When the princess is ready, she will arrange for someone to come over and notify you at any time. I will be on call."
"We definitely won't be able to do it this year. It's freezing cold. We have to wait until next spring to do it."
Lu Yaoyao replied with a smile.
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
In the afternoon, Lu Yaoyao personally sent the group out of Chengyuan Villa.
When Emperor Hongwen returned to the palace, he immediately asked Wang De to draft a decree and grant Princess Wanfu Princess Shuangqi Town a fiefdom.
But he went directly to the Long Case, laid out paper, and waved his hair.
He wrote down what Lu Yaoyao said: the people are the most important thing, the country is the second most important thing, and the king is the least important thing.
Then I looked at the calligraphy and was quite satisfied.
"Have someone frame this word for me and hang it in the middle of the main hall of the imperial study."
"Yes, I will send someone to do it right away."
Wang De carefully picked up the words and left, but as soon as he went out, he met the queen.
"This old slave has met the Queen."
"Is His Majesty here?"
"Yes, I'm going to report this, please wait a moment."
After that, Wang De returned to the imperial study. Not long after, Queen Wang entered the imperial study. Wang De asked a young chamberlain to take His Majesty's calligraphy to the best craftsman to have it framed.
He returned to the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, are you leaving the palace today?"
"Well, Princess Wanfu was promoted today and invited a lot of people. I have been feeling quite upset recently. I learned that the imperial sister also went, so I took Wang De with me."
Emperor Hongwen said with a smile.
"Wang De, go and give me tea, brew it using Wanfu's method."
"yes."
Wang De retreated, and not long after, twice as much tea was served.
But the cup given to Queen Wang was still the original strange-tasting tea soup.
"The Queen is looking for me for something?"
"My concubine came here today for the sake of Prince Ning."
"Prince Ning? Isn't he at the papermaking and printing workshop? I haven't seen him recently, and I don't know how things are going?"
The two workshops that Emperor Hongwen chose were not located in the capital, but in the suburbs of Beijing, more than ten miles away from the capital.
"Prince Ning has sent a letter. Everything has been done well. I thought it was getting cold now and it is quite cold in the mountains, so I came to ask for your Majesty's order to summon Prince Ning back to the capital."
"If you don't tell me, I have forgotten it. There are indeed too many things going on during this period. Wang De, please go there personally and ask Prince Ning to come back. This child is the same. He is not going to a fiefdom. Why are you so stupid that you don't know that you are coming back?"
"
Seeing that Emperor Hongwen agreed and his tone was so easy-going, Queen Wang was also quite happy.
"Prince Ning, this kid has always been honest, and he also knows that this matter is very important to His Majesty, so he has been watching carefully and personally, for fear of making any mistakes."
