Although Guo Chunhai's words are a bit extreme, they are factual.
If it was possible to innovate Gongyuan earlier, how could it have suffered such a disaster?
To put it bluntly, in the final analysis, Zhuge Liang still failed to do what he did beforehand. Even if he only did half of it, he would not become the laughing stock of the world.
The emperor couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, and asked with emotion: "Can it be said that in the eyes of my little friends, I am so worthless today?"
"Not entirely true!" Guo Chunhai waved his hand and said pertinently: "Just now you also mentioned that the emperor is at home and abroad, and pursues the policy of three no's. These are all his good qualities. In addition to the above, he also does everything right.
This is an important thing. And this thing is not only of great significance, but also has far-reaching impact."
"Oh? What is it?" the emperor asked curiously.
"Without him, Lord Qi was sent to Qiongzhou and given the right of autonomy. Without this, how could Qiongzhou be what it is today?" Guo Chunhai commented objectively.
well……
Whether you admit it or not, the facts are there. Anyone with a clear eye can see it.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that in the future, Qi Yu will have to be reused as much as possible, so that he can be the lead donkey of the production team and continue to work hard for me.
Last time, he had said that he would become an official because he was discouraged. Fortunately, he did not agree at that time. Otherwise, wouldn't he regret it?
In addition to him, the Qiongzhou talents who stood out in the imperial examinations must also be appropriately valued. For example, Tao Ci and Lai Dayuan, who are Jinshi Jinshi, can enter the Hanlin Academy for further studies.
Both of them made their fortune in Qiongzhou, and they have seen a lot and are knowledgeable. They will definitely bring a new and different style to the traditional court.
After bidding farewell to Guo Chunhai, the emperor returned to the Daode Hotel indifferently.
Wu Wanrong felt very strange. Why was the Holy Emperor in high spirits when he came, but in a low mood when he returned?
Could it be that the kid provoked him?
Can't guess it!
As for what kind of life the emperor was thinking about, we will not express it for the time being. We will only write about the strange events that happened in the capital.
After the emperor left Beijing, there was a slight tremor in the court for a short period of time.
However, it was soon stabilized by the cabinet members. All political affairs were in order, all fortifications were orderly and not chaotic, and everything was running properly.
However, there were two unexpected incidents that broke the peace. First, the two eunuchs appointed by the emperor before his departure were the eunuch Bingbi and the eunuch Zhangyin. They had only cooperated for less than half a month.
time, suddenly one wing was lost.
Somehow, eunuch Bingbi suddenly contracted a strange disease and died.
As a result, San Dezi, who was the eunuch in charge of the seal at the time, naturally took on both roles and took on two positions at the same time.
This was an internal matter of the palace, and it was not convenient for the cabinet members to intervene. Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as the Third Eunuch changed from being humble to others to being arrogant.
Forget it!
Anyway, His Majesty will return soon, so it will not be too late to make further calculations then.
Unexpectedly, just after this matter calmed down a little, another strange thing was revealed.
It is said that the young and frail eldest prince unfortunately fell into a well and died while playing in the palace.
Although he is the eldest son, he is a concubine, so in terms of weight, he is ranked behind the second prince Li Hongyu.
He has been keeping a low profile all year round, basically staying at home. Except for occasionally seeing him during large sacrifices, almost no information about him is heard on weekdays.
However, such an honest and honest person died inexplicably.
Politicians all believe that there must be something fishy in this matter.
If combined with the sudden death of eunuch Bingbi, it is very likely that there is a leading black hand behind this incident.
However, what should we do if the emperor is not here now?
At this moment, Yin Jun stepped forward and shouted angrily that the matter must be thoroughly investigated.
He suggested that the Zong Renfu take the lead, coupled with the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to launch a joint investigation. The principle is that no matter who is found guilty, they must be dealt with seriously.
However, this move was opposed by Zongzheng Li Zuoyi and Liang Yingzhong, the chief minister of the cabinet.
The reason they gave was that the prince's death was obviously an accidental death. How could there be any signs of anything fishy? As ministers, we should try to eliminate the negative effects. How can we use the topic to deliberately exaggerate?
Due to the dispute between the two parties, they finally had to put it aside temporarily.
Afterwards, Yin Jun went to his father-in-law for advice and asked if there was any possibility of something fishy happening.
Zhong Yi sighed with emotion for a while, and then said: We should focus on the current situation of the surviving third prince. If something happens to him, the matter will be secretly fought for by the prince. If he is safe and sound, then the death of the eldest prince may be an accident.
.
There are many daughters today, but there are only three princes under his knees. In addition to Li Hongyu, the second eldest, there is also a weak eldest brother and a young brother.
Now, the eldest prince has drowned, and only the second of the three brothers is left. If something happens to someone again...
Yin Jun is no longer the Amon he used to be. He only knew his father-in-law's allusion after a brief glance.
Sensing something strange, he immediately found his sister and told her not to let Qi Xiao enter the palace in the near future. If a eunuch summoned him, he would excuse him by saying he was ill.
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Yin Tao immediately agreed.
At present, the construction of the Gongyuan is nearing completion, and Qi Xiao, who does not accompany his reading, immediately becomes an idler with nothing to do.
Therefore, Yin Tao suggested that it would be better to take advantage of this free time to visit relatives, so as to get closer to each other.
In particular, the relationship with Meng Lanshan's grandson Meng Xuesong and Zhou Chunsheng's son Zhou Junmao needs to be more intertwined. Otherwise, how can we call him a good family member?
Sure enough, after going back and forth, the three children gradually became familiar with each other.
Let's talk about this day, Yin Tao and Qi Xiao came to Zhou Chunsheng's house to visit.
Since the second aunt Cao has returned to her hometown in Yongchuan, her daughter-in-law Yao has become the hostess of the family.
Yin Tao didn't have the slightest fondness for this woman.
She once heard her husband mention that this woman was short-sighted, petty, and not a virtuous person.
It is said that at first, her husband tried his best to oppose the marriage between her and cousin Zhou, but later, he couldn't bear Zhou Chunsheng's wishful thinking, so he reluctantly settled on it.
Moreover, because of her, my husband was once imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion.
Perhaps due to the bad impression, Yin Tao didn't give her a good look.
And this Yao family seemed to be a bit stubborn, and actually turned coldly towards Yin Tao.
In short, both parties were very unfriendly.
But today is an exception.
As soon as they entered the door, Mrs. Yao came forward with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, we happen to have local specialties brought from my hometown in Yongchuan. Can I bring some for you to try?"
Um?
The sun rises from the west?
Yin Tao put down the gift in her hand and said calmly: "Looking at you like this, could you be asking me for something?"
"Uh...it's nothing!" Yao was startled at first, and then quickly denied it.
