The four princes joined together and said to Benchen, "Thank you for presiding over the great monk, I know." ”

The host took the four princes to the Daxiong Treasure Hall and introduced the four princes to the monks in the temple, saying that he was a rich son, because he admired Buddhism, so he came to lead the practice for three months.

About this matter, these monks are not surprised, this matter is a norm, although the Yu Dynasty let Shi Dao Feng Xian Concubine as the real person in charge, but also reciprocated the peach, respect Shi Dao, at that time many sons and brothers have the experience of leading the hair practice, idle and boring, they will take this kind of hair practice as a kind of talking point.

The fourth prince was also taken to the room by a small novice, changed into monk's clothes, sat on the bed, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

When he was laughing here, in the Sitting Forgetting Pavilion in the deep palace, the emperor was also sitting there laughing, and the emperor was accompanied by Concubine Wen, and the minister kneeling below was really Wu Yuan.

The emperor smiled and said to Wu Yuan, "Wu Yuan, seeing you kneeling on the ground, I want to laugh every time, and I don't know what's going on." ”

Concubine Wen smiled at this time and said to the emperor, "Lord Wu is also old, sage, you should still give a table of support." ”

The emperor nodded, and Jiusi, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly brought a table, and Wu Yuan thanked him and sat down.

The emperor looked at Wu Yuan and said again, "Wu Yuan, you are the same age as me, I didn't expect that you would have to hold on to the desk when you sit down now, but unfortunately according to the ancient system in this dynasty, you can be given a chair to sit down in before you go, which is much more comfortable than this." ”

"The saint is on again, so the minister is already very satisfied, in fact, this ancient ceremony, used to the same, the minister's home is now rarely seen chairs, presumably after many years, the chair will disappear completely."

When the emperor heard Wu Yuan's words, he said in a deep voice, "If this is really the case, then it is naturally the best, but I heard that many people are dissatisfied with the ancient rites and are ready to restore the Wei rites. ”

"The minister has heard of it, but some scholars are pedantic, they say that they are better than the ancient, and the law is Tang Yu. If the saints really return to the past, they are dissatisfied. They are just mavericks, they want to be self-standard, everyone makes it clear, they have to say turbidity, such rotten words, it is not enough to believe. Wu Yuan replied cautiously, and after hearing this, the sage nodded, smiled at Concubine Wen and said, "Wu Yuanzhen has long said that he is a caring person, but now the ministers of the court are not as caring as him." ”

"He and the saint were both raised by the same nurse, so naturally he understands the saint's heart, and the saint asked him to do something in the East China Sea, which of the things he didn't do properly." Concubine Wen said with a smile.

Few people know about the relationship between Wu Yuan and the emperor, when Concubine Wen was young, because of Wang Wenzhong, she was allowed to be married to the emperor as a crown princess, so she knew everything about the emperor's past when he was a child. When the emperor was a child, the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi was busy assisting Emperor Gao in conquering the world and had no time to take care of the emperor, so the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi entrusted the emperor to her younger siblings, that is, Wu Yuan's mother.

Later, the emperor rarely mentioned the matter of his wet nurse, and Wu Yuan's family naturally did not dare to mention it indiscriminately, and as time went by, fewer and fewer people knew about this matter.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wu Yuan, "Originally, I also wanted to promote you to the Third Division, but I just thought it was more convenient for you in the East China Sea, so I asked you to be a small weaver, and you won't resent me in your heart." Hahaha"

Hearing the emperor's laughter, Wu Yuan was secretly frightened in his heart, he understood what kind of person the emperor was, if the emperor was silent, then it meant that there was no danger, if the emperor said with a smile, then it meant that he had to think about it carefully, and if he made a mistake, his life would be in danger.

"The skills of the minister, the sage knows it clearly, the minister has done his best to be a weaver, as for the position of the third division, he never dares to think of it."

The emperor continued to smile and said, "Although the weaving is small, there are millions of taels of silver in the warehouse every year. 35xs By the way, Wen Yuan tracked down the real culprit in Canghai Mansion, how about the investigation? ”

Wu Yuan said respectfully, "Prince Li is working hard to arrest him, and now he has the whereabouts of the real murderer." ”

"Really? Why don't you see him playing a prayer? ”

"Prince Li is the most cautious, he is ready to wipe out this group of traitors, and when the time comes, he will sacrifice his majesty, so that the saint will be happy."

When the emperor heard this, he smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, this person is reliable, but it's a pity that he is a little lazy, if he is on the top, he will arrest the real murderer wholeheartedly, where does it take so long." ”

"According to the minister, Prince Li is not lazy, he likes to put a long line to catch big fish, and he seems to be a good swimmer, but in fact he has laid a net, waiting for the enemy to throw himself."

When the emperor heard this compliment, the smile on his face disappeared and he fell silent. When Wu Yuan saw this situation, he knew in his heart that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't understand what he had said wrong, and he didn't dare to defend it, thinking about where he had said something wrong, and it was convenient to remedy it.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Wen smiled and said to the emperor, "Sage, I came to Lord Wu today, I haven't talked about business yet, about Wen Yuan, let's talk about it later." ”

The emperor took a sullen sip of tea, and then said to Wu Yuan, "Wu Yuan, after you return to the East China Sea, take Wen Yuan well, and you have to write down his every move in detail on paper." If I know what you're hiding for him, Wu Yuan, you should have my temper. ”

Wu Yuan said that he didn't dare, and the emperor looked at Wu Yuan and said to Wu Yuan again, "Something like Divine Sword Island, I don't want it to happen again." ”

When Wu Yuan heard this, he was directly frightened out in a cold sweat, and he understood why the emperor was silent just now, it turned out that the emperor thought that he was helping the four princes deal with the second prince on Shenjian Island, and he knew that the sage did not like the courtiers to assist the prince to deal with other princes, he hurriedly said that he was guilty and guilty, and then said that he helped the four princes, just because the four princes wanted to put a long line, and he never intended to assist the four princes to deal with the second prince.

The emperor didn't say anything more, and said to Wu Yuan, "This matter has passed, I don't want to talk about it anymore, now I am talking to you about business, I am going to sacrifice Yue in Dongyue on the summer solstice this year." ”

When Wu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sage, are you preparing to tour the east?" ”

"What? Don't you think I shouldn't be touring the east? The emperor said calmly, staring at Wu Yuan.

When Wu Yuan saw this situation, he calmed down, thinking that the sage had not yet made a decision, and this matter could still be persuaded, he kowtowed nine times, and said to the emperor, "Sage, the eastern tour cost 100 million minutes, and the last time the sage toured south, it cost 20 or 30 million silver." The minister thinks that if it is just a sacrifice to Yue, it is not worth the cost. ”

"Wu Yuan, do you think I'm just going to sacrifice Yue?"

Wu Yuan didn't speak, knelt on the ground and said, "The minister doesn't know, and I also ask the sage to teach." ”

"Hmph, what is the Four Mansions of the East China Sea like now, don't you understand, mobs are everywhere, and there are thieves and thieves, if I don't go again, when I go again, the Four Mansions of the East China Sea are still not a big deal. This time, I will not bring a hundred civil and military officials, but only 200,000 troops, and when I see a thug, I will take my sword out of the sheath, and when I see a traitor, I will put an arrow on the bow. ”

Hearing this, Wu Yuan's face changed, he didn't want to see the blood flowing in the four mansions of the East China Sea, he kowtowed again and said, "Sage, please think twice, please think again, if it has only been more than 40 years since the peace is settled today, the people have just given birth, and the sage is prosperous, and the people will suffer again." ”

"Wu Yuan, you still remember the words of your aunt Empress Dowager Xiaoyi, when you meet civil and military, you will be happy with Lile, and you will be a sword soldier. Now that the four prefectures of the East China Sea are unwilling to be civil and military people, then I have no choice but to treat them as a convincing man. By the way, the last southern tour, it was your cousin who took over, and this time the eastern tour, naturally you should also take over, this time I am afraid that it will not be 30 million taels of silver that can be dispatched. ”

When Wu Yuan heard the last sentence, he knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, he kowtowed three times heavily, and said to the emperor, "Little minister, little minister knows." ”

"Go down, I'll take a look at your poetry selection."

Wu Yuan said yes and respectfully retreated, Concubine Wen looked at the emperor and said softly, "Sage, do you really want to make the four mansions of the East China Sea bleed?" ”

"If there is no bloodshed, they don't know the pain, the blood of the rebels has flowed everywhere in this Dayu Dynasty, and now the four mansions of the East China Sea will flow again, so that the group of Wei rebels can understand that they are just mantis arms blocking the car. In front of my iron horsemen, they have only one way to die. ”

When Concubine Wen heard this, her voice was a little dull and she said, "Then the concubine will tell Concubine Ping about this matter and ask her to write a strategy for the sage to see." ”

"I'm sorry for you, alas, if he doesn't have a mental problem, I'm going to let him lead troops to pacify the four mansions of the East China Sea for me, and then make him the crown prince. It's a pity that it's really difficult for him to lead troops like this. ”

When Concubine Wen heard this, she couldn't stop her tears, bowed her head, and said to the emperor, "Sage, the concubine has never begged you, and now the concubine begs you, don't torture him, don't mention the matter of the prince." ”

A trace of tears flashed in the emperor's eyes, he picked up Concubine Wen and said to Concubine Wen, "Qingyun, this matter, I am sorry for your mother and son, that's it, that's it, I won't mention this matter in the future, I don't know, who should this country be handed over." ”

Concubine Wen didn't speak, and in this case, she didn't say anything, she just got up silently, and then retired and left here.

When Concubine Wen left, the emperor looked at Jiusi and said to Jiusi, "Go to Concubine Xuanxian to come and see you." ”

"Sage, Concubine Xian has been ordered to go to Qiyun Mountain." Jiusi reminded that the emperor patted his forehead, shook his head and said, "My memory is not as good as day by day, forget it, the people from the Suzaku Division and the Xuanwu Division also went with her." We'll wait until she comes back. Go to Xuansu and come to the friendly side. ”
