165 Some people are happy and some are worried (guarantee 2)
In fact, Hong Tao is crooked, and he saved his own life. Emperor Shenzong asked him to explain in detail, not entirely interested in this novel system, and testing the horses was also the most important thing.
The emperor did not fully believe Hong Tao's words about dreams, if the horse could answer these questions fluently and meticulously, it would mean that the horse had already moved in his heart, otherwise what was the use of learning the emperor's art so incisively.
Even if you don't have a different heart, you have to find out who taught him these things. This kind of knowledge can't be learned by just finding a professor or doctor, even if someone can, it can only be a royal professor, not a foreign professor, otherwise what's the use of so many emperors.
While the horse was answering these questions, Emperor Shenzong was quietly observing the horse's performance, in addition to listening to the novel ideas in it. He was very reluctant to see his brother-in-law punished for this kind of thing, which would definitely affect his sister, or his sister who was pregnant.
"Pei Ying, what is the reality of what the horse said?" Seeing that it was getting late and he was going to court tomorrow, Emperor Shenzong finally stopped pestering and let the horse out of the palace. Then he picked up the thick pile of notes on the table and looked through it, and only asked a leisurely question after a long time.
"I think what the colt said is true." Without outsiders present, Pei Zhonggui's waist was slightly straighter, and when he replied, he was not so whispered, much neater.
"What do you mean by that?" Hearing this, the Emperor put down the paper in his hand and raised his head, waiting to hear the detailed explanation below.
"The colt has something to say, but it's a pity that he doesn't know it well. The judgment of the ministers should be obtained after hearing and then pondering. Ranchen couldn't think of anyone in the court who had this insight, and thought that it should be like what the horse said was from a dream. The horse is gifted and intelligent, but unfortunately has a soft personality, and judging from his treatment of craftsmen, he is not a person who is good at disguise. What is rare is that the horse can be regarded as loyal to His Majesty, and everything he does is considered by the emperor, and His Majesty is really blessed with this help, which is gratifying. ”
A big eunuch head talked eloquently in front of the emperor, talking about the government and politics, and if Hong Tao saw it, he would be dumbfounded. Because he has never thought carefully about Pei Zhonggui, and even forgot that there is such an old man for most of the time.
"Anyway, on weekdays, he always complains that he has missed his future as a lieutenant, so I will give him a future and see if he has this blessing. You will pass on my message tomorrow, so that he can prepare a good strategy to defeat the enemy and show me, and if what he says is true, let him out of Beijing to do something. You don't have to tremble about the ointment, let go of your hands and feet to do it, am I really afraid that the people of the Song Dynasty will not succeed! ”
Pei Zhonggui's remarks seem to be the voice of Emperor Shenzong, since this old eunuch who assisted his father and emperor has the same opinion as himself, and he will not be false, then the wartime cabinet that the horse said is not worth trying.
But this matter still needs to be agreed by the courtiers, how to convince those guys who are full of truth? There are no shortcuts. As the emperor knows these people too well, it is impossible for them to change their views without showing some real results.
Looking at everyone in the court, there is really no more suitable striker than a colt to charge for himself. He himself is a royal relative, and he has no relatives in his family, and his connections are very simple, and the prerequisites and motives for committing rebellion are insufficient.
And this person is extremely cunning and vicious on the surface, but he is kind in his bones, and versatile, he is suitable for dealing with the Western Xia people, far more effective than those ministers in the court who just talk and don't use their hands, and the wicked still need the wicked to grind.
The most important thing is that the horse will soon have offspring, and the ancients thought that the family is the most important, and the inheritance is the most important thing. This kind of habitual thinking is not exempt even to the emperor, as long as the descendants of the horses are left in the capital, it is equivalent to adding another layer of insurance.
"Obey the order...... It's just that the princess is pregnant, so she won't be too surprised to hear about it. ”
is worthy of being an old eunuch who has served two generations of emperors, and Emperor Shenzong knows what he is thinking in his mind, and immediately points out the variables. If the princess is not willing to let the horse stay away from her side, and then run into the queen mother's ear and cry, this matter will be really troublesome.
There are so many ministers in the court, why do you have to let a concubine whose wife is about to give birth show up, I can't explain it to the queen mother. I can't tell my mother that my son plans to use my brother-in-law as a river pawn in order to consolidate the imperial power, which is too much to take my sister seriously.
“…… The second sister has always listened to the words of the concubine, and she is willing to tolerate everything, and it doesn't hurt if you talk to him about this joint. Emperor Shenzong pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of a perfect solution, so he simply pushed the problem onto his brother-in-law.
If Hong Tao hears this, he will have to scold the royal ruthlessness, what Nima loves his sister the most, once the word power is involved, what emotions have to stand aside.
It's a pity that he can't hear it, and he doesn't have time to listen, so he is doing carpentry work in the back garden with Peng Da with a small saw.
Since hearing that the princess was pregnant, Hong Tao felt that a piece of guilt in his heart had fallen, but another responsibility had been added. Whether it is a boy or a girl, they have to be raised as adults, and they can't make do with it, for now, the way the ancients raised children is basically improvised.
If there are no conditions, create conditions, such as making a crib for the child first, a baby bassinet and stroller, soft and absorbent open crotch pants, diapers that are easy to wash, and anti-mosquito and insect repellents.
There are also children's toys, because I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so Hong Tao plans to do both, rattling duck carts, dolls with several sets of clothes, Lego bricks, wooden guns, small wooden horses, three-wheeled bicycles, two-wheeled scooters...... Anyway, if you think of something, you can draw it, whether Peng Da understands it or not, just follow the drawings.
This time, Hong Tao did not restrict Peng Da from exerting his meticulous carving skills, and he did as fine as he could, and it was not too troublesome to carve all the hollows. In addition, Hong Tao also painted a model of a small train in later generations, which can be the size of two rooms when fully rolled out. He drew the spring drive system first, and after the spring steel was developed, he first got a small train for the child to run with winding.
You can do clothes and medicines by yourself, but you have to turn to craftsmen like Peng Da for small beds and carts. They stretched out a little finger and kept themselves busy for half a year.
Hearing that the eldest princess was pregnant, the craftsmen were naturally sincerely happy, and the master's family meant that the family could continue in the future, and it also meant that their future was settled. In this era, most people don't pay attention to job hopping, and most people like to recognize a capable person and follow it, or even follow it for several generations.
In fact, the happiest person is not Hong Tao, nor these craftsmen and servants, but Mama Wang. Although she is only the princess's wet nurse, she is more caring than her own mother.
As soon as she heard that the princess was pregnant, tears immediately fell, and then she took out all the money she had saved, and planned to go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to ask the monks to read the scriptures to the princess a few more times to ensure the safety of the mother and child.
Why isn't mother and daughter safe? Hong Tao didn't dare to say more, if he hadn't asked his uncle more, it was estimated that he would have eaten lunch at home, and he wouldn't have been interrogated until dark like a prisoner.
Another exceptionally happy is Lian'er, the main mother enters the palace to give birth, then she should become the acting hostess of the Pony Mansion, because since she slept in the same bed with the Pony, it is equivalent to being accepted into the house, and she cannot be regarded as a wife, and her status is indeed much higher than that of a concubine.
If one day the princess dies early, she has the possibility that Ming Media is marrying and becoming a wife. How is this thing regulated, Hong Tao is not interested in understanding it at all, anyway, the princess also means this, so let them go.
"Is Chen Niang afraid that the official will no longer love you if he has a child?"
Is the whole house happy? Not really, at least one person is not very happy. Hong Tao soon discovered this person and immediately understood why she was upset. This is a child who has lost her parents once, and she is afraid of losing them again.
"......" was seen on her mind, and Chen Niang was not too flustered, because this person was a colt. In the child's heart, he already thinks that this person is the most kind, and he will not blame him no matter what he does.
"Don't worry, the official is very big here, and it can accommodate several children. But in the future, you have to help the officials take care of the little brothers and sisters, so that they can be as smart and sensible as you. ”
Hong Tao has never thought about this problem, and he doesn't plan to bother about it. What kind of sister-in-law comes out, it makes no difference to me. Whether they can live until they grow up is a question, and it is useful to think about it so much.
If the inheritance issue is really involved in the future, it will be easy to handle, and the inheritance of the eldest son will not be over, and the other children will do whatever they want, don't always expect to cheat their fathers for the rest of their lives.
As for whether the eldest son is suitable to inherit the family business, this question is not a problem at all. Between unsuitable inheritance and cannibalism, Hong Tao firmly chose the former.
It is better to have one generation than the next, rather than to have more branches because of inheritance problems. Unless it is clear that the eldest son is a loser, you can't break the rules.
"Will the official still take Chenniang home to find Niangniang?" After all, children are children, and they don't understand the specific relationship between their hometown and their mother, and they are always too persistent.
"Naturally, I want to go, when the time comes, Chen Niang will take her younger brothers and sisters together, and our family will go." For this question, Hong Tao's mouth is almost thin, but he still needs to promise over and over again.
When will she understand that her hometown and her mother are not necessarily connected, God knows, Meng is a day. People can live a more fulfilling life when they have hope, and my hometown is probably the firmest hope in this child's heart, so why not give it to her.
Chen Niang was happy, but Hong Tao was not happy, because there was a woman on his bed, and Lian'er lay down justifiably, and lay down so naturally and casually, as if this bed should have been hers.
