Chapter 1452 (1/2)
On the first day of September, in the distant capital of the king, the emperor was looking at the military newspaper in his hand in the imperial library.
Good news!
”Good! Great
The emperor was overjoyed to shoot the case, and the whole person seemed to be several years younger and radiant.
One side of the Duke Liu has not seen the emperor zhanyan for a long time. He deliberately asked in a funny way: ”the emperor, but the good news from the western Xinjiang?”
The emperor said with a smile, ”Huairen, Huaijun has really lived up to my expectations.”
According to the good news, after arriving at Feixia mountain with 30000 reinforcements, Han Huaijun joined forces with the western Xinjiang Army stationed there to fight against the Xiye army. Finally, he managed to hold Feixia mountain and forced the enemy to retreat.
”Congratulations! This is the emperor's insight into heroes. ” Liu Gonggong said with a smile that made the emperor feel more happy, stroking his beard and laughing.
The emperor couldn't help but droop his eyes and read the good news again and squinted slightly.
That's great!
Let Han Huaijun frustrate Xiye's spirit first, and Xiye will know that Dayu is not weak and has no backhand power. Then Dayu and Xiye will propose peace talks, which will be more smooth!
At this time, a small Chamberlain came into the imperial library and said in a respectful voice, ”the emperor, the Lord of Chu is coming.”
The king of Chu is the emperor's cousin, is a casual clan, usually like to listen to the opera, walk birds, fiddle with some food.
The emperor was in a good mood, so he motioned to the little Chamberlain to invite people in.
Soon, there was a hearty laugh from the king of Chu. A fat middle-aged man came into the imperial library with a red lacquer wooden food box. His eyes were very kind. He went to the front, saluted the emperor, and said with a smile, ”brother, my younger brother has just got a good cook to make snacks recently. He specially asked him to appreciate it. It's no worse than the imperial chef in this palace!”
The king of Chu gave the food box to Duke Liu himself.
Mr. Liu opened the food box and took out two plates of dim sum. One was lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, the other was pine nuts and milk skin crispy. The dim sum was still hot. The attractive fragrance came from the hot air, and the dim sum was exquisite.
The king of Chu said with a smile, ”brother, try it.”
The emperor twists a piece of pine nut milk crust at will and takes a bite. After biting off the outer thin sugar skin, the inside is soft and glutinous, and the milk fragrance and nut fragrance are skillfully blended together, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
The emperor praised him and said, ”the pine nuts and milk skin crispy is really good. Sixth brother, your mouth is really more crafty than mine.”
”Thank you for your praise.” The king of Chu arched his hand, then thought of something, and said, ”brother, speaking of it, I remember that the nephew of the five emperors also likes pine nuts and milk crust. Tomorrow, I will bring some more.”
The emperor was stupefied. When he thought of it, he said, ”yes, I remember that when I was a child, I liked this pine nut milk crust best. At that time, I had to eat one dish every day...”
”I also remember...” The king of Chu spoke to the emperor at will for a while, and then he left.
When there was only the emperor left in the imperial study, the emperor looked at the pine nut and milk skin cake for a long time without saying a word. Then he suddenly got up and said, ”Huairen, go with me to the study Take the pine nuts and milk crust
On hearing this, Duke Liu knew that the emperor wanted to bring the pine nut milk cake to the fifth prince. He said, ”Your Highness will surely thank the emperor for his kindness.” I just hope that the father and son can turn their quarrel into friendship this time.
The emperor took Liu Gonggong and two small servants to the imperial study, and then went to the direction of the study.
The temperature of Wangdu in September is just right. The autumn wind blows slowly, and the light fragrance of cinnamon is still floating in the breeze, which is refreshing.
At this time, it was half past the time, and the direction of going to the study was quiet. Taifu had already finished the lesson for the fifth prince. There was only one fifth prince in the study. Since nangongxin and Jiang Ming and Qing Dynasties were read by the emperor in addition to being accompanied by the Emperor, the emperor has not been in the mood to choose a new companion for the fifth Prince because of the tight war in the West.
Han Lingfan, the fifth prince, is sitting behind the book case by the window. In front of him is a Chinese torreya chess board. He is holding a chess manual in one hand and twisting a piece in the other hand, playing chess alone.
When the little internal servant shrieked out ”the emperor is coming”, Han Lingfan quickly stood up to greet him, lifted his robe and knelt down to the emperor.
”Get up, little five.” Seeing that Han Lingfan's thin figure seemed to have lost a circle, the emperor's eyes flashed slightly and raised his hand.
The chess game on the case has already been put in half. Thinking that the fifth prince had just played chess alone here, he did not even have a chess player. The emperor was somewhat soft hearted and said, ”sit down.” Then he made a gesture to Duke Liu.
Duke Liu immediately took out the plate of pine nuts and milk cakes from the food box. The emperor said with a smile, ”Xiao Wu, this pine nuts and milk crust is good. I remember you like it best. You can try it.”
After a month and a half, father and son sat together again.
After thanking the emperor, the fifth prince sat down with a bitter smile in his heart: he really liked pine nuts and milk crust before he was seven years old, but now he is old. Is it in the heart of my father and emperor that they should never grow up
After the father and son ate a piece of pine milk cake, the emperor was more relaxed. He picked up the sunspot in the chess box and said, ”little five, I'll come to the next game.”Then, he directly put this half of the chess game, fell the spot.
Han Lingfan should a, also followed by the white son.
For a long time, it was quiet in the study, only the sound of the father and son falling down As the chess game came to an end, the black and white pieces were fighting each other and occupied a part of the world
The emperor stroked his beard and said with a smile, ”little five, your chess skills have improved a lot. Now I can be as good as I am... ” Xiao Wu is really smart. He is good at reading, playing chess and the six arts of a gentleman.
Han Lingfan sat bowing and said, ”thank you for your praise.”
The emperor lost another son.
Looking at the emperor's smile, Han Lingfan's heart moved. He heard that a military newspaper from western Xinjiang was sent to the palace today. His father and Emperor are in such a good mood. Is it not Good news?!
It must be! He is a cousin.
Han Lingfan can't help but feel refreshed. Since there are good news in western Xinjiang, then
He hesitated for a moment, or asked: ”son minister see father emperor mood is good, but what happy thing?”
The emperor was really in a good mood, so he said one by one the good news he had just received from the western Xinjiang. Han Ling Fan said excitedly, ”father, that's great. Your cousin is so brave and good at fighting. He will surely recover the Lost City, beat the Xiye army out of our vast territory and raise our national prestige.”
In addition, if the emperor won't be able to defend the western part of the mountain, it will be too difficult for the emperor to defend the mountain.
The emperor took a deep breath, carefully analyzed the interests with Han Lingfan, and then said: ”small five, the monarch, the country's safety, the country's governance, it is only one person. The first emperor was ordered by heaven to fight hard and overthrow the tyranny of the former dynasty and unify the whole world. However, it is difficult to start a business, but it is even more difficult to keep a business. In order to be a monarch, we must take a comprehensive view of the overall situation, pursue good fortune and avoid evil. If we rush forward rashly, we will fall under the barbarian swordsmen. Our Han family is a sinner for thousands of years and will surely remain infamous forever! ”
Hearing this, Han Lingfan's eyebrows are locked, and he obviously doesn't think so. Duke Liu is worried. It's not easy for father and son to ease up. Why should the emperor be angry when the fifth Prince orders his highness
Duke Liu tried his best to wink at Han Lingfan, but Han Lingfan still said, ”father, please listen to your son's minister. Xiye was a poor and fierce man who attacked Dayu. Thousands of officers and soldiers in western Xinjiang vowed to die in the war of resistance against Japan and died for the country. Now that we are in great vigor, we are trying to defeat the barbarians. How can we not make those frontier officers and soldiers feel cold and make people think that the court is useless and beg for surrender from the barbarians? ”
Cold hearted, useless, begging for surrender These words are like tens of thousands of needles in the emperor's heart, and the emperor's face is more and more ugly. He values Xiao Wu so much and teaches him how to be a king. However, in Xiaowu's heart, he actually treats himself like this, and dares to scold and disobey himself!
No one dares to preach to him like this!
Maybe their father and son have been separated to two different fork roads, and they are gradually moving away from each other
It's my fault!
He should not let Xiao Wu get close to Nangong family. He should teach him personally. Now Xiao Wu is stubborn, unfilial and disrespectful, which is beyond remedy
The Emperor didn't speak for a long time. The father and son looked at each other for a long time. Han Lingfan did not flinch back. He said forcefully: ”father, for the sake of peace and stability, bow to the barbarians, and pay tribute to the barbarians to protect the throne, which is not the style of a great power in Central China! Father, please think twice
The anger in the emperor's heart is burning more and more vigorous, he is really too indulgent small five!
The emperor clenched his teeth and said angrily, ”if you hand over the Wanli rivers and mountains of Dayu, sooner or later, the soil will collapse and the country will be destroyed! In the future, I will be ashamed of my ancestors! ”
Han Lingfan's face was pale, and his eyes could not hide his sadness. Obviously, the emperor's words deeply hurt him.
He was silent for a long time, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he clenched his fist, looked up at the emperor, and said carefully:
”father, in this case, the father and the emperor don't have to hand over the river and mountain to his children's ministers. The son minister thinks that in life, he should do something and not do something. He is not willing to go against his original intention. ”
