"Your Highness, I have a merciless request. I hope you will give me your grace after you ascend the throne."
"I wonder what Shaobao... wants?"
In private, Qi Yu and Li Hongyu were still quite nervous, and even their tongues felt a little unruly.
Only then did he finally understand why his mother was so afraid of him. With Qi Shaobao's aura, anyone who saw him would feel suffocated.
Compared with the last time he reported on his work, his aura is not a little bit stronger.
Naturally, Qi Yu didn't know the prince's feelings, so he still said to himself: "My mentor died saving his life. With such merit, shouldn't His Highness be given a posthumous title?"
"Chasing a posthumous title? Please think twice about this matter..."
Think twice?
I think you want to consult your queen mother?
Qi Yu smiled and said generously: "This is not urgent. Your Highness just needs to keep it in mind. It doesn't matter if it happens one day earlier or one day later."
The prince smiled awkwardly and replied: "You can rest assured, Shaobao, Gu will never forget it." After a pause, he added a flattering tone and praised: "Shaobao is so respectful to his teachers, he is really a role model to the world.
! Afterwards, I will publicize it and spread this moral story to the world."
"Your Highness has given you the award."
"..."
In fact, Li Hong was not completely complimentary, but was really impressed by his respect for teachers and filial piety.
Officials who confer titles for teachers are rare in history, so they are extremely precious.
Personally speaking, the prince agreed with this matter.
It's just a false reputation that doesn't cost money, so why hold on to it? If you can use it to win over the loyal ministers, why not do it?
For such a simple small account, Li Hongyu is still very thorough.
However, in Qi Yu's view, pursuing a posthumous title is not just a matter of fame.
During his lifetime, his mentor had been criticized by his corpse ministers, and he himself was still very worried about this matter. If he could be given a posthumous title that was of great service to the country, it would be the ultimate conclusion.
He, Meng Lanshan, is the hero of our Dafeng, and he must be remembered for generations to come.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more reliable, Qi Yu showed a kind smile and said, "Your Highness, I will return to Nanyang in the near future. Without your imperial decree, I will never return to the capital for the rest of my life. Here, I hope that I will return to Nanyang in the near future.
After separation, you can be diligent in government affairs, work hard to govern, and make China's governance prosperous."
The prince was happy at first, and then he quickly showed a look of being taught, "Qi Shaobao's good advice, I will definitely remember it in my heart. I will do three things every day and correct myself."
Qi Yu nodded happily and continued: "In addition to working hard to govern, you must also inherit your father's ambition and continue the reform and elimination measures he carried out. If His Highness seriously deviates from the direction, I will come here
The capital issued a 'strong remonstrance'."
When he heard the word "strong admonishment", the prince couldn't help but shudder.
To cover up his embarrassment, he nodded hurriedly.
Then, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Well... speaking of my father, he seems to have an unfulfilled long-cherished wish."
Qi Yu was startled and asked curiously: "What is your long-cherished wish?"
"During his lifetime, my father wanted to be granted Zen status more than once, but he never thought about it. Until his current 'Zen status', he was unable to achieve this goal. Thinking about it, it's really a pity!
"The prince said with emotion.
Qi Yu said: "Fengshan Taishan would be too laborious for the people and money. It's okay not to do such a face-saving project. If His Majesty is still entangled, he can make up for it after he wakes up. However, he will have to perform sacrifices in the name of the Supreme Emperor at that time.
Damn it."
He wakes up~~
Uh, it’s better not to give it up, right?
Li Hongyu smiled with a complex expression and said to himself: "Don't worry, Young Bao, I will pray for my father's longevity and safety every day, and wish him good health as soon as possible."
Qi Yu rolled his eyes at him and said meaningfully: "Haha, your highness is really a good prince who knows how to be filial. If your majesty knew about it, he would definitely be very pleased." After secretly knocking him a few words, he changed it again.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, I have two more matters that I would like to advise. Please allow me to do so."
Upon hearing this, Li Hongyu began to become nervous again.
"I wonder if Shaobao has anything else to report?"
"The first thing is that after His Majesty ascends the throne, he should grant a general amnesty to the world. While opening the Enko, he should also exempt Huguang and other areas that have suffered from natural disasters from taxes for three years, so that the people can recuperate. Light taxes and light corvee. Only in this way can we
Demonstrate your love for the people as your own children."
"The second thing is that for the two new scholars named Tao Ci and Lai Dayuan from Qiongzhou, His Highness can appoint them as deacons and professors in the Imperial College and let them use the new concepts and new ideas they learned from Qiongzhou to drive national progress.
Educational progress. Over time, I, Dafeng, will definitely benefit from this."
Well...
Li Hongyu felt a little embarrassed.
He had no experience at all in the administration described by Qi Yu, so how could he dare to make a rash reply?
To be on the safe side, I naturally had to ask my mother for advice.
Qi Yu understood this and did not put further pressure on him.
He believes that the prince only needs to understand his demands and does not need to make a decision on the spot. He can ask whoever he wants. How can he be a good emperor if he doesn't listen to advice more?
As for the queen, he basically didn't worry about it. If she knew that this was his advice, even if she didn't give her face, it wouldn't be too outrageous.
She has Wang Zha in her hand, how can she not think carefully about what to do?
…
After chatting with the prince, Qi Yu came to the front hall alone.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that Fan Yao had been waiting there for a long time.
"As soon as your Majesty leaves the palace, you will immediately implement the contract-changing strategy I arranged. The real emperor left the city overnight, transferred to a warship and went straight to Qiongzhou without making any stops on the way. The pretended emperor was carried to
I have temporarily settled it in Qi Mansion. The purpose of this move is to confuse the public, so don’t get involved."
"I understand, little one!"
"Well, go ahead!"
"yes!"
Currently, all the defenses in the capital are under the sole control of Qi Yu. He can operate them however he wants, and no one can detect any clues.
The reason why he built the plank road openly and visited Chencang secretly was mainly to prevent Empress Su from trying to silence Sun Qiaoyun. Who knows, but also His Majesty the Emperor, who might be awakened.
With such a layout, it is basically possible to hide everything from the outside.
Things went very smoothly, and the emperor was openly sent out of the palace in front of everyone, and then disappeared into the night.
Due to the extra night cover, no one really noticed anything unusual.
After the farewell was completed, Qi Yu called Yin Jun at the entrance of the palace.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to your Yin family to make an appointment. After that, I will put down the ceremony and formally marry Taoer."
"you……"
Yin Jun frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Your master, Mr. Meng, has just passed away, so you are busy organizing weddings. Isn't it inappropriate?"
"There is nothing wrong with you worrying too much!" Qi Yu first gave a positive answer, and then explained: "The reason why I did this is..."
However!
Only halfway through saying this, he stopped his mouth in time, patted the white-faced man on the shoulder, and walked away directly.
Yin Jun looked at his back sadly and murmured: "It's mysterious. Could it be that he is doing something wrong?"
