During the period when Li Haiyu's army was patrolling Tianshan Pass, the small country of Tianshan Pass was frightened and hurriedly declared his ministers. Even the big countries also felt the danger, so before Ah Xueli and the two left, they told them that they must make this lord of the east happy, and not let this lord of the east find an excuse to go west.

The sage, who had been smiling and listening, asked, "Since the opportunity is rare, so let's hope you can stay here for a little longer, I and Niangniang, we are very interested in your Xijon affairs." At the beginning, like the previous emperor, I thought that you Xirong were still only the right and left and right kings, but now I know that you also have your own political system and your own culture. ”

After Ah Xueli thanked them, the sage asked them to go down to rest, and then Concubine Ya suddenly said: "This palace is very curious, why does the flag of your Dashi Kingdom have four identical patterns on it, what does that mean?" ”

"It is the language of our country, to the effect that the King of kings bless my king." Ah Xueli explained, Concubine Ya said: "This palace understands that there is a labor messenger. ”

After Ah Xueli and the others left, Concubine Ya said to the sage: "Today, the concubine only knows that the vastness of heaven and earth is all-encompassing. ”

"What they say is interesting, but it is too absurd, and now it seems that it can only be widely seen and rude."

"Not necessarily, I heard that they have a kind of city defense equipment, called Thea fire, which can be burned on the sea, and used to defend the city, which is much better than oil."

The sage looked at Concubine Ya and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, Huayu, you know a lot about them. ”

"Nothing, it's just that the concubines have been in the palace and have seen a few books about their country, and now there are these two, and the concubines think that they are proficient in the culture of the Central Plains and can serve as Di Bao (the official name of a Western language translation official)."

"That's good, but I don't know if they'll want to stay here."

"Since ancient times, they can't escape fame and fortune, they can act as messengers, naturally they have something to ask, as long as the saints are willing, they will naturally stay and serve the saints."

The sage touched his beard and smiled, and then said to Concubine Ya: "By the way, Huayu, I have an idea recently, over the years, there seem to be some young people in the dynasty, idle and unwilling to farm, I am ready to exhort the old peasants and make them officials." ”

"I don't know what official?"

"Agricultural official, the official is a life, what do you think?"

"This, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, this county order is just a life, if these old farmers are a life, then the county order should come out by itself. And the concubine was worried that the court was originally trying to persuade the peasants to be kind, but in the end they were misinterpreted by someone with a heart, and they gave the peasant official a top to seek personal interests for their own interests. However, the concubines thought that they could appoint some wind collectors, these were not officials, but Confucian scholars from all over the country, and let them present wind poems. In this way, it will not destroy their desire not to be out of office, but also to observe the people's feelings. ”

The sage thought for a while, and said to Concubine Ya: "If there is no official position, I am worried that they will be in danger, this collection of wind to tell you, the prefect, the prefect will definitely make things difficult in every way, and now there are four holy divisions in the people, if I am setting up a wind collector, I am afraid that the virtuous concubine will have some objections." ”

"Sage, but there is another advantage to this matter, if the local Confucian student takes over the job of collecting the style, after offering poems, there is a movement in the imperial court, he will naturally gradually have the heart to become a scholar."

The sage held Yafei's hand and said to Yafei, "Yes, Huayu, you are right. You're also a little tired today, so go back first and cultivate well. By the way, you tell Hua Rong that I have already arranged her marriage, so let her rest assured. ”

After Concubine Ya thanked her, she went back, and when she arrived in front of the palace, Hua Rong walked out of the door and helped the Concubine Ya into the room, and after Concubine Ya sat down, Hua Rong smiled and said: "Sister, it's better for you to move less, and in a few months, you will go to Lintoe Palace to recuperate." But the saint also loves you, you see the virtuous concubine, it is the gentleman's palace, and you are going to the Lintoe Palace, I heard that the person born in this Lintoe Palace is basically the prince. ”

"Nonsense, today's saints have the eldest son, except for the prince, everyone in the world knows that it is Yaode, this kind of gossip, you just listen to it, don't say it again."

"Sister, isn't it that there are no outsiders, so I said that? In fact, his father also noticed it, saying that the saint is now killing Gui Wufu, just to pave the way for your sister, and for the sake of her sister, my father is going to let a few elder brothers go to Nandu, and when the prince is in Nandu, so as to assist the prince. ”

Concubine Ya held Hua Rong's hand and said to Hua Rong: "This matter, you tell your father, don't think too much, if this is a daughter, this palace can rest assured." If Lin'er is born, the palace will let him be a prince, and there is no need to mention other things. ”

"Sister, I don't understand, to put it mildly, Concubine Wen is already a, and sister, you are in your prime, and the sage cherishes you very much, if it were others, they would have seized the opportunity to find a good way out for their children, why are you like this, sister."

"This matter is not as simple as you think, you go down first, and you are not allowed to come in without being summoned by the palace."

After the maids retreated, Concubine Ya said to Huarong, "Do you know what kind of character a saint is? He has always been suspicious, don't look at the favor of this palace now, if he is not careful, he can beat this palace into the cold palace. The saint is a man who has been very gracious to him, and he is only remembered as one. And he is kind to others, but he wants others to repay them very much. Now the palace let him set up this little child as the prince, then in the future, the palace will have to repay a thousand times and thousands of times, if there is a trace less, then the saint will feel that the palace owes him, sorry for his trust, and it is imperative to abolish the prince at that time. ”

When Concubine Ya said this, she gestured to Hua Rong, Hua Rong walked to the door, looked at no one eavesdropping, and then walked back again, Concubine Ya continued to say to her: "For the saint, you can't ask for anything in return, you can only help him infinitely, so that he will feel that you are a good person, and at that time, even if you go against his mind a little, you will not be punished." If you are grateful for your self-respect, you only have a horse of white silk and a pot of wine. ”

When Concubine Ya said this, she said vigilantly again: "At the beginning, the three queen mothers once asked Emperor Wen, long live Emperor Wen, who can entrust the country, and Emperor Wen's evaluation of the saint is that he only knows how to fight people, but does not know how to govern people." At that time, the third concubine didn't understand, but the palace had already understood. That's why this palace will help him on that day, and even find a holy decree for the saint. In this fight, no one can fight the saint, and Emperor Wen did not leave a clear edict, so the saint will naturally win. ”

"And the role of this palace is to admonish from the side, so that the saint can slowly learn to heal people. It's a pity that over the years, the sage still thinks about how to fight with people, first with the Eight Kings, then with General Weiyuan, with the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and now with Wei Rebellion. Regarding the matter of people's livelihood, but no good plan has been come up. ”

"Isn't this the world at peace, and the people rich? The saint doesn't have to do anything to rule the world. Hua Yu didn't understand, what is there to worry about in this livelihood.

Concubine Ya sighed and explained to Hua Rong: "At the beginning, Emperor Wen was going to abolish the two taxes into one, but the sage was delayed. The main palace once asked the sage to implement the green seedling method, but the sage refused on the grounds of inconvenience. ”

"No, sister, this seedling method, I know, isn't this a bad method?"

"Bad is bad in the rule of officials, not in the law. The main palace is to let the families grow grain at a high price, and then sell it at a low price in a famine year. This is not up to the court, but to the families. In this way, there are no people with foreign surnames to participate, so that people will not buy at a low price and sell at a high price. ”

Hua Rong nodded as if he didn't understand, and said to Concubine Ya: "Since this is the case, why does the saint feel inconvenient? ”

"Because of this, it will make many people less opportunities to make money, do you know how the gentry made their fortune? With their own money, they bought at a low price in a good year, and then sold at a high price in a famine year. If this grain is ground into flour, as long as it is well kept, there will be no problem for two or three years, but it will be difficult for the people to accumulate this, and they will only accumulate one year's grain at most, and if they accumulate for a long time, they will not only occupy space, but if it is moldy, it will be even more wasteful. Therefore, the palace is ready to let the family go out of the land, use it as a granary, store grain in good years, and provide disaster relief in famine years, so that those gentry will have less opportunity to make a fortune, and they will naturally be dissatisfied. ”

"Then just make them unhappy."

"What if these gentry turn to the other eight kings? This is the saint's concern, but in the eyes of this palace, this may not be. ”

"Since you don't think so, sister, why don't you persuade the saint?"

"Alas, it's a pity that this palace is also a person who is afraid of death, if this is really persuasion, after the saint adopts it, the eight kings will rebel, and when the time comes, on the grounds of chaos in the ancestral system, with the side of the Qing monarch as the banner, the saint will definitely kill the palace to make the eight kings lose their righteousness."

When Hua Rong heard this, he didn't believe it and said, "No, the saint won't be so ignorant." ”

"Sometimes people really do stupid things, this risk is too big, this palace is unwilling to take it, but this palace will find an opportunity to continue to sparse, hoping that the saint can accept it."

Speaking of this, Concubine Ya continued: "Don't talk about this, now that Chu Yuanfeng is already the Admiral of the Nine Gates, he will come to marry you soon, has my father found a sister to marry?" ”

"Sister, this matter has been prepared for a long time, but, alas." Hua Rong smiled at first, and finally sighed, and Concubine Ya said to Hua Rong, "Are you worried that he doesn't have you in his heart?" Huarong, why care about this, as long as you like him. It's just that you marry someone you like, not someone you don't like, you know, although we have been clothed and fed since childhood, but in marriage, we are far inferior to ordinary civilians. ”
