Raising the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 19 Above the Temple
Fan Mou hurriedly bowed and returned the courtesy: "Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Prince Ning."
The two princes hurriedly said: "Your Prime Minister does not need to be polite."
Fan Mou raised his head and looked at the prince Qi Wu. He saw that Qi Wu's face was pale, and there was a glint in his slender eyes. He smiled knowingly and said to the prince: "His Royal Highness, you don't look well today. Is he feeling ill?"
The prince saw Fan Mou's eyes and replied knowingly: "Your Majesty, I am concerned about you. I feel a little cold, but it's not a serious problem. But my second brother has been running around for the court in the past few days. Compared to my eldest brother, my second brother is more worried."
Just take care of yourself." After saying that, he looked at Prince Ning Qitao on the side.
His Highness Prince Ning has bright eyebrows and thoughtful thoughts. As his eyes moved, he could hear the sarcasm in the words of his brother, the prince. Prince Ning's expression did not change, he bowed and saluted: "Thank you, brother prince, for your concern."
The imperial court, the father, and the people of Qiyun, how can my brother not do his best? It is the prince and brother who assists the father and is busy with government affairs, so it is more important to take care of the body." Qi Wu was separated in recent days and was
The emperor reprimanded him, and now Qi Tao was assisting his father and was busy with government affairs, which made the prince Qi Wu's face blush, and he was extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, Fan Mou saw that Qi Wu was speechless after being teased by King Ning. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold the Crown Prince's arm and said: "Your Highness, Prince Ning, the Crown Prince has been ill due to state affairs in recent days. His Royal Highness Prince Ning has left the capital.
Even when he was on errands, he still kept the affairs of the capital in mind, and the veteran admired him very much."
At this moment, King Ning looked at Fan Mou holding his brother's arm. The implication was obvious. He was on errands away from home and he knew everything about the capital. Could it be that he was suspected of forming a clique? King Ning thought to himself that Fan Mou had always been impartial in the court.
Yi, I went out of Beijing to run an errand, but why did I come to speak for the imperial brother today? But then I thought about it. A few days ago, Zheng Zhi and other officials reported to the court that the prince had neglected political affairs and had bad conduct for many years.
When another prince was appointed, a kind of high-ranking officials came forward to refute it. And behind these so-called high-ranking officials, everyone knew that the current right minister was in front of him.
King Ning smiled, looked at Fan Mou, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are serious. When I was away on business, my father once told me that even though I was away working for the court, I should not forget to pay attention to the affairs of the capital.
Don't act out of proportion. Your Right Prime Minister, as the leader of Qingliu, also assists the court on weekdays. I haven't seen you for a few days and your face looks very haggard. Please take care of yourself, Your Excellency."
Qi Wu was about to speak when Fan Mou grabbed his arm. His right minister's slender eyes narrowed into slits and he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning cares about you. I should bear this in mind."
Just as a few people were talking, they heard the Qiyang Gate creaking, and the heavy main door slowly opened. Qi Tao, Qi Wu and all the officials behind them all took care of their clothes. The officials stood in line. As the main door opened, the two princes
He slowly walked in with other officials until outside the main hall of Qiyang Palace. At this time, a young eunuch came out of the palace, holding a long whip, which was three feet long.
Silently, all the officials, both civil and military, stood together. In the Qiyang Palace, there were gold tiles and jade bricks, and four sky-mounted dragon pillars held up the 100-foot-high palace, which made the palace even more majestic. And on top of the gray jade bricks in the Qiyun Palace, there were several
There are ten jade steps. Above the jade steps is the gold-lacquered dragon chair that symbolizes Qi Yun's supreme power. Behind the dragon chair, there is a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains engraved in gold and jade. Beside the dragon chair, waiters stand on both sides holding five bright bird feather fans.
The blue paint on the plaque is the inscription "Diligent Government and Governance" personally written by the current emperor Qi Shao. Emperor Qi Shao sat down on the supreme dragon chair and glanced at the hunched figure of Zhong Qi beside him. The eunuch's sharp voice
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Enter the palace!"
Only then did all the officials enter the palace and kneel down in rows. No one dared to raise their head and look directly at Tianyan. The emperor's majestic eyes swept over everyone and said: "Everyone is safe for the Qing family."
Zhongqi then continued to shout: "If there is something to do, go out and start playing, if there is nothing to do, roll up the curtain and withdraw from the court."
As soon as Zhong Qi finished speaking, among the officials, Sun Zhong, the Minister of Rites, came out and knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Sun Zhong of the Ministry of Rites asked you to report. The Ministry of Rites was ordered to compile the "Qi Yun Dian" and it has been compiled. Fortunately, I have lived up to my command.
I want to continue to serve the Holy One, but unfortunately I am old and feel that it is difficult to continue to shoulder the important responsibilities. Please tell me to return home."
The emperor looked at the old minister in front of him who was trembling even as he walked, and said: "Since I came to the throne, the Sun Qing family has been working diligently and led the Ministry of Rites to compile the "Qi Yun Dian" for the imperial court. If the report is accurate and my will is conveyed, the Sun Qing family will be rewarded with a daughter.
, a hundred hectares of farmland, accompanied by officials, carriages and horses to return home.”
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor." Sun Zhong managed to get up.
"Come here, help Sun Qing's family." The emperor saw the old man in front of him who had spent all his energy on "Qi Yundian". He sighed in his heart and ordered the young eunuch to come forward and help the old minister.
The emperor then said: "As Sun Qing's family said, the "Qiyundian" has been compiled, and I must take a good look at it."
Zhang Lanyu, the Minister of Ceremony, then went out and knelt down to report: "In the second year of Emperor Wen's reign, I have followed the orders of your Majesty and compiled the "Qiyun Dian" with Sun Shangshu. After sixteen years of collection and revision, it has been compiled today. The whole book has a total of 20,000 copies.
There are one thousand volumes, please ask your Majesty to read them."
"Okay, I am very pleased that the compilation officials of the Ministry of Rites have done a great job for their hard work." The emperor moved his eyes slightly, Zhong Qi understood, and ordered the young eunuch to bring the "Qi Yundian" catalog to the main hall. This "Qi Yundian" only catalogs more than eighty volumes.
When all the officials in the court saw it, they all praised him.
The emperor moved forward, stepped down the steps with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the "Qiyundian". He drew out the general outline and looked through it. In the "Qiyundian", there are classics, histories, chapters, and collections involving astronomy and geography, yin and yang medical skills, and divination.
The emperor looked through the general outline of the Tibetan Taoist Scriptures, Drama, Industry and Agriculture. He was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this scripture is not only for me, Qi Yun, but also the first classic in the land of China. It conveys my will.
Written by Zhang Lanyu, with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of Jin Dynasty, he was compiled by a group of officials and rewarded by the Ministry of Personnel according to the system."
"I, together with a group of editors and editors, would like to express my gratitude to the Lord for your kindness. Long live our emperor." Zhang Lanyu kowtowed and thanked the emperor before returning.
The eunuchs moved the catalog into the back hall. The emperor looked around the officials and said: "A few days ago, the left prime minister Xiao Fu and the northwest general Wang Tian reported that the Huns came to harass our borders every winter. The Northern Jin Dynasty
The Zong family is also restless. Jin forces have spread out in the markets of several cities on our borders and plundered the cities. What should the ministers do to deal with it?"
Seeing that all the officials were silent, the joy brought by Qi Yun's ceremony just now was replaced by inexplicable fire. His expression remained unchanged. The emperor's eyes fell on the Crown Prince and Prince Ning, who were standing with hands hanging down. He twisted his jade holder and spoke.
Asked the prince: "Prince, in your opinion, how to deal with it?"
Hearing his father's question to him, the prince who usually only liked to listen to music, dance, and whip his servants hurriedly came out and said: "I would like to inform my father, the Huns come to harass the border every winter. Can Wang Tian be released from the customs?"
To pacify the Northern Jin Dynasty, the Northern Jin Dynasty should also select a general from the court to go out and quell the cavalry that disturbs our borders."
"Oh? Does the prince mean to fight?" The emperor didn't know whether he was happy or angry, but continued to ask the prince with a smile: "Let me ask you, there is a saying among military strategists, 'before the troops and horses move, food and grass go first.' Regardless of whether it is still winter,
The south has suffered the heaviest winter snow disaster since the founding of our country, Qi Yun. For the farming and people in the coming year, if we continue to use troops, our country, Qi Yun, will not be stable."
"This...this." The prince was speechless for a moment when his father asked him, and his already pale face suddenly became even more pale.
At this time, a calm voice came from the side: "Father, my son, please play." Ning Wang Qitao stood up to the side.
The emperor looked at Ning Wang Qitao, the majesty in his eyes seemed to be a little less, but he still said with a smile: "Accurate performance."
"From my perspective, the walls of Shanhaiguan are strong, the troops are well-prepared, and Prime Minister Xiao and General Wang are stationed there. The Huns harassing the pass are just trying to force me to send troops to Hannu, and they fell into the trap of the Xiongnu Chanyu.
If our army cannot hold out, even if the Huns are fierce and good at fighting, they will not be able to pass the pass, and the people will be safe. The current plan is for the court to allocate grain reinforcements from the reserves of grain and grass. After more than a month, the Huns will definitely be short of food.
Retreat. When our court has enough food and grass next year after the autumn harvest, it will not be too late to start the war again." King Ning Qitao stood in the court hall and talked eloquently.
When the emperor heard this, the majesty in his eyes turned into approval, and the ministers in the hall also praised him one after another.
King Ning pondered for a moment and continued to talk calmly: "The things that disturbed the people in the Northern Jin Dynasty were strange and unusual. Since the emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty succeeded to the throne in vain, he has not seen us in war for many years. Although the Northern Jin Dynasty peeked at
Our government is determined to persevere, but it is against the law of war to send troops in this winter season, and harassment by roving cavalry is not the style of the Northern Jin Dynasty. I am worried that someone will use the name of the Northern Jin Dynasty to plunder our people.
