Chapter 429 Iron Blood Emperor 25
Time flies, fast like a shuttle, and the Taishang ushered in his 60th birthday unknowingly during the days when he was teaching the prince and commenting on the sage's policy.
The sage entrusted the prince with all the preparations for the prince's holy birthday.He also told the queen not to be afraid of throwing money away, and the prince can use the silver as he wants.After all, in the palace these years, no matter whether it is a princess who has been relegated, or a few concubines of a sage marrying a concubine, the Empress has always said: the imperial court uses troops, and it is easy to handle.
The prince has been brought up by the Taishang's side these years, and the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is comparable to that of the saint's father and son, and the queen's mother and son.Hearing that his father had entrusted his grandfather's birthday to him, he excitedly asked Jia Hu for help, and the two of them went to look up the classics. After ten days of busy work, they finally had a preliminary outline.The prince excitedly reported to the saint that he must hold the grandest and most solemn birthday festival in history for the emperor's grandfather.
The sage watched the prince's preparations with a smile, and from time to time he was critical of one or two things.But when the crown prince grew up to such an age, it was the first time he received a serious errand from the saint, and when he wished he could keep improving, no matter how picky the saint was, he was able to be patient and do it according to the saint's requirements.
After all, the preparatory plan for the holy birthday was approved by the sage, but the emperor asked the prince to change the five-day celebration arrangement to three.Alright, Prince redo the plan.The Ministry of Internal Affairs began to prepare in three days.
Not a few days later, the Taishang told the prince that three days was too much, so he had to do it for one day, and he had to get one day.The prince hurriedly stopped the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Jia Hu re-subtracted, but after subtracting and subtracting, the prince was holding his hard-working preparation plan, his face was full of distress and reluctance, and he couldn't make sense, so he had to find a sage to find a way.
"Father, the imperial grandfather said that the holy birthday can only be held for one day, what should we do?"
The sacred birthdays of □□ are generally held for three days, and the same is true for Taizong. The holy ancestor once held a five-day holy birthday.It's my imperial grandfather, so many years of Shengshou, the palace simply holds a banquet together.It was so easy to agree this time, but it was only for one day.
The prince was wronged for his grandfather.
"Have you ever asked your imperial grandfather why?"
The prince shook his head, the little boy was full of frustration.
"Tu Gen, when you encounter other people's objection or negation of your plan, you must ask why. Once you find out the reason, you can prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem. Your birthday celebration plan is very good. But your imperial grandfather doesn't Accept, first change five days to three days, and then change it to one day, have you ever thought about the reason why your imperial grandfather changed his mind?"
"Father, my son, do you think that grandpa is reluctant to spend money?"
The royal family has kept everything simple in recent years, which left a deep impression on the prince.
"Silver is not a problem. The money in the inner treasury must be spent, and the money must flow to be money, otherwise it is just a decoration. During the Holy Birthday Festival, every penny that the inner treasury takes out will eventually fall on the heads of the people. Like fireworks, there are fireworks shops that make money. People around Gyeonggi will go to the city to watch the excitement, and those small vendors will take the opportunity to set up stalls and make a little more money. Then these people who have made a lot of money and small money will buy more Fish and eggs, or cutting a few more clothes, the corresponding group of people will earn money. Holding the three-day Shengshou Festival is just following the previous practice, and it is not extravagant and wasteful. Even the richer country gentry We will warm up our birthdays first, and then we will celebrate our birthdays on the right day."
The prince listened carefully and nodded frequently, he seemed to have found a reason to persuade the emperor.
Let the people in Gyeonggi take the opportunity to earn a little money and improve their lives.
The saint looked at the green young man in front of him, full of vitality, his eyes were full of agility, purity, and ignorance of world affairs.
"Reluctance to part with money is the reason for your speculation. You must ask clearly and find out the real reason that your imperial grandfather didn't say. Go ahead and ask carefully."
The sage sent the crown prince, who had doubts in his eyes, back to the emperor.
The Taishang is good everywhere, Wenzhi and martial arts are all top-notch, but the original body was taught a little more purely, and now the prince is also taught more purely.
Alas, sad people!
Parents and elders are reluctant to let their children be contaminated with those dark, private, and unbearable things.Then my own baby was beaten and raped to grow up under other people's secret means...
The sage didn't know how to tell the Supreme Master about this.It may be that the Supreme Being ascended the throne when he was young, and he watched too much mediation between the Empress Dowager and the courtiers, too much infighting in the clan, too much strife among nobles, and too much intrigue of the so-called Qingliu...
But such a simple prince who only knows how to do things, how can he deal with so many ministers who are as minded as a sieve in the future?
Alas, it is better to let the prince observe politics earlier, and let him face the scheming of the courtiers directly.
The Taishang was persuaded by the prince and agreed to hold the three-day Shengshou Festival.
"Did you go to your father for advice?" The Taishang asked the prince with a smile. The saying that money is only money when it flows is not what the prince can think of.
"The grandson is looking for his father."
The crown prince was not at all embarrassed. The majesty had taught him for many years and asked him to learn from his father. Many of his father's ideas were very meaningful to Dajing's development.Not to mention asking for advice from the emperor, he can do it even if he asks the servants for advice.Three people must have my teacher's reason, he understands.
"Little suckling pig, in the future, when you encounter problems, you have to use your brain more and think about why. You can only refer to other people's opinions. If you don't think it through yourself, you will be led astray by people with ulterior motives."
The prince nodded, and he had to think more about it in the future.
"Next year you will be 16 years old, and your father will be at this age. After confirming the crown princess, he will start to watch the government. After the emperor's grandfather has passed his holy birthday, your father and queen mother will choose a crown princess for you. And Liangyuan."
When it came to choosing the crown princess, Tu Gen blushed.
"Grandfather, grandson wants to ask you for help."
The Taishang looked at Aisun who had a blushing jade face, and teased him with a smile, "If you can help, you can help, but you can't help with super-qualified things, and you will definitely not help."
Prince: …
The Taishang looked at his grandson with great interest, holding back for ten years, pretending that he didn't know?
The crown prince hesitated for a while, then approached the crown prince and begged in a low voice: "Grandfather, grandson wants Jia Ying from Rongguo Mansion to be the crown princess."
The majesty put the teacup down, looked carefully at the serious expression of his grandson, and said in a deep voice, "If you choose Jia Ying as the crown princess, Duke Rong will not be able to take charge of the capital. Look at the successive crown princes, concubines, Does the queen's natal family hold heavy soldiers?"
"Grandfather, the grandson's choice of Jia Ying as the crown princess is also for the friendship between the whole royal family and the three generations of the Jia family, and for the good of the Rongguo Mansion. The Jia family has held military power for too long. Why don't you leave it vacant for 30 years and replace it with another family?" It is the best time for the Rongguo Mansion to hand over the military power when Jia Ying becomes the crown princess. If they refuse to teach the military power, the grandfather and father will have to plan as soon as possible, just like taking over the military power from the Beijing Palace."
The Taishang nodded in satisfaction, this is the good prince he taught himself, the color makes him faint - that is the result of not enough wisdom.
"Three years," the crown prince stretched out his finger, "Jia Ying has three more years before he is legally allowed to marry. This time is enough for the emperor to choose someone to take over the capital."
Tai Shang nodded, he hoped that Lao Jia would be a sensible person.
Since Taifu Zhang passed away, Prince Fu passed away...every year, veterans who have become officials leave the court and this world, and there are fewer and fewer old people who can speak for themselves.
"This matter will be arranged after the emperor's grandfather's birthday. You have to ask your father and mother's opinion on who to choose as the crown prince."
"Grandfather, my grandson will take it as your promise to help." The crown prince obsequiously circled around Taishang, exchanging hot tea and beating his shoulders.
The crown prince chased the prince away, "Okay, okay, let's go to the House of Internal Affairs. I have plenty of servants here."
The prince stopped, "Grandfather, besides money, you have other reasons for not wanting to hold the Shengshou Festival."
The crown prince tapped lightly on the prince's forehead, "Smart. Sixty sixty-sixty and three days, what about seventy? What about the old man?"
The prince exaggeratedly held his forehead and cried out in pain, "Grandfather, when you are a hundred years old, my grandson will organize a nine-day birthday festival for you."
The filial grandson laughed at the sixty-year-old grandfather.
The Shengshou Festival is indeed as planned by the prince. It is really the grandest and most solemn event in the past 30 or [-] years.During the three-day celebration organized by the crown prince, every step was in accordance with the wishes of the crown prince.The sage, who has always been extremely restrained, got drunk and started talking nonsense at the dinner party the next day before the birthday party was over.
The sage couldn't help it, so he stepped forward to support the chattering empress, and the prince also came up to help, and the father and son carried the empress back to the bedroom to rest.
The sage ordered someone to bring hangover soup, but the Taishang shamelessly refused to drink it, so he insisted on drinking it with the sage.
The prince put his arms around his grandfather and coaxed him. The saint had no choice but to drink a spoonful of soup for himself and feed the emperor another spoonful. It took a long time before he fed the hangover soup.
When the feeding was almost over, the Empress hugged the saint's waist and began to cry loudly.
"Chengxian, Chengxian, my father doesn't want to imprison you. My father never wanted to take your crown prince. My father just wants you to be quiet and rest assured, and don't be swayed by those greedy Eastern Palace officials Deceived."
The crown prince was dumbfounded, he hugged the crown prince, staring blankly at his father.
The sage handed the soup bowl in his hand to the waiter, took the hot handkerchief that Wangcai twisted, and gently rubbed the face of the Taishang.
The Taishang was crying with tears and snot all over his face, and the saint was hugged tightly by the Taishang, so he had no choice but to coax the Taishang Emperor while rubbing his face.
"Father, my son has always known how much you love and care for him. The officials in the East Palace put his son in front of him to plan for their own future. My son knows all about their private pursuit of power and profit. Woolen cloth."
"Chengxian, do you really know?" Taishang stopped his mournful voice, raised his red eyes from crying, and stared at the saint and asked.
"I know, father. Didn't you see that your son dispersed all the officials in the East Palace?"
That's right, Chengxian scattered all the subordinate officials of the East Palace.
But it's not right, I obviously imprisoned Cheng Xianquan in the East Palace.
The alcohol was so strong that Taishang couldn't tell which was a dream and which was reality, so he fell into a sleepy dream.
