Chapter 445 Iron Blood Emperor 41
The Taishang took the old Duke Rong to Nanyang, and the crown prince lost Jia Hu's company. He couldn't go to the Rongguo Mansion. He practiced martial arts, watched politics, and read booklets with the saint every day. He felt very lonely.The ministers of the Eastern Palace who were recommended by various ministries to prepare for the prince to practice their skills, the prince lost interest after calling him a few times.
"Father, they treat me like a golden pig."
The prince complained to the sage behind the backs of the Eastern Palace officials who had recommended him.Jinzhuer is the first princess born of a saint and a queen. Her first name is Jinzhu, and her baby name is Jinzhuer. She is not yet eight years old, and she is the youngest in the palace. .If it weren't for the empress who was ruthless and disciplined, she would definitely be a princess who dared to go to the Qianqing Palace to expose the tiles.
The sage smiled, these ministers of the Eastern Palace, he let the important ministers recommend them freely, and the selfishness of the six departments and nine ministers was tested.It cannot be said that the recommended candidates are not good, but they are basically excellent candidates who have yet to experience, most of them are within 20 years, and cannot handle a lot of things.
These old guys.Selfishness is not concealed at all, is it because they are afraid that within ten or eight years, they will be replaced by the subordinates of the Eastern Palace if they follow the example of the Supreme Zen.
The sage held the roster of the servants of the Eastern Palace, and explained his understanding of these people, their strengths and weaknesses, to the prince one by one.
"The ministers recommended to you by the cabinet and others are all talents that can be cultivated, and they will be useful ministers of the court in 20 years."
The prince pouted and complained, "Royal father, I want someone who can discuss things with me, like Jia Hu."
"Then you have to let them see your ability and recognize you as an adult."
The sage picked out one of the piles of memorials in the imperial case and handed it to the prince.
"Changtai, take these copies and study them with your vassals to see how to deal with them."
The crown prince took the memorial, flipped through it, and found that he could read all the words on it, and understood every sentence, but he had no idea how to deal with it.
"Father, I don't know where to start."
"Show them this booklet, and then ask them to submit their opinions on how to deal with it before sunset. Remember to take it to Wenyuan Pavilion to show to the emperor."
The prince immediately understood what the saint meant, and smiled silently with his mouth curled up.
"Thank you, Father."
Show their opinions to the emperor, and they dare not prevaricate and coax themselves anymore.
The sage looked at such a prince and comforted him: "Don't rush, you have ten years to learn how to deal with these things. For a crown prince, the most important thing is to learn how to recognize people and appoint people, and pick out the right people. The right people, put them in the right positions, and let them handle these things well."
The prince looked at the stacks of memorials on the imperial case that were yet to be processed, and pursed his lips, "Father, these are so difficult."
It's easy to listen to the emperor's grandfather talking about these things, but it's really hard to make up your own mind.
"Father also has to think carefully about these matters, and he has to convene the cabinet for repeated discussions. Look at this," the saint picked up the note from the governor of Liaodong.
"This is the Liaodong plan for the next ten years that my father wants the Governor of Liaodong to do. Take a look at his plan, analyze whether his plan is reasonable, what is the probability of it being done, and how much more money will the court want to invest in it."
After the prince read it carefully, he found that the contents of this booklet were more difficult than the one just now.
"Changtai, what you have to do is to take a long-term view and a longer-term view. This is the way to plan the development direction of the big scene in five or ten years. What you think about is the big scene in 20 or 30 years. , What should it be like. Those old cabinet ministers, they are living back as they get older, they have no confidence in themselves, and they are afraid of things like the emperor and the courtiers. That’s why they picked those attributes that will come out to coax you to play The minister is here. Hehe."
The sage told the prince about the narrow-mindedness of Liubu Jiuqing.
"Father, my ministers don't want you to take the Zen seat. There is also a courtier for the emperor, should it or shouldn't it?"
"This needs to be viewed dialectically. There is nothing absolutely right in this world. After the emperor ascended the throne, he did not immediately replace that important minister. As long as those courtiers are in their positions and can manage their affairs well, they will not be replaced. necessary."
The prince nodded, as if realizing something.
"Changtai, your imperial grandfather took the Zen throne. After being the crown prince for more than 20 years, his father followed the emperor's will to ascend the throne. Unlike what the history books say, every time the throne changes, he competes for the merits of the dragon. The blood flowed like a river from the various factions. In order to reward the meritorious ministers and support his officials, the emperor who ascended the throne will inevitably have the phenomenon of one emperor and one courtier."
The saint took the prince's hand and walked to the big brass globe.The prince looked at the area that was dyed red by cinnabar. The deep and light red color meant that the color was not dyed all at once.Um?It seems to be a little bigger than last time I saw it.
"Changtai, when your father supervised the government, your grandfather pacified the northwest side, and the boundary is here."
The sage traced the outline gently on the northwest border with his fingers.
"In the future, we will continue to go outward in the northeast and northwest. In the west, we will go all the way to Yanqi, Qiuci, Shule, and Khotan. The four Anxi towns must be taken back."
The prince followed the sage's finger and looked at the space marked by the sage, feeling his heart surge.
"Vladivostok, as well as these places, have to emigrate there too."
The sage's finger draws an arc from the north to the sea, covering all the islands of Fusang.
"Father, it's very cold here." The prince frowned. I'm afraid no one would want to live in such a cold place.
"Changtai, you can't just look at the coldness of the ground, it's not easy to live in. When the Academy of Sciences develops new and better machines, the endless treasures hidden under this vast land can be unearthed."
"Treasure? Father, what kind of treasure is it?"
"Do you remember the records in the "Book of Changes"? 'There is fire in the marsh', 'upper fire and lower marsh'."
The prince nodded.
"I remember that Hanlin Wang Xueshi taught Ban Gu's "Hanshu? Geographical Chronicles" mentioned, "Gaonu County has flammable water". In Fan Ye's "Hou Hanshu? County and State Chronicles", there is also a record of Yanshou County' There are mountains in the south of the county, and the spring water comes out of the stone...It is extremely bright and inedible. The county people call it stone paint. It is said that this stone paint can lubricate the axle. In the Song Dynasty, stone paint was made into a stone candle, and a candle can be topped. Three. The Song Dynasty also poured such fierce kerosene into ditches to deter the invasion of Mongolian cavalry. In Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan", he collectively referred to these paints, stone grease water, kerosene, and kerosene as oil. It is said that this oil is 'born infinitely in the earth' and will 'be popular in the world'."
"Yes, oil is born in the ground, but not infinite."
The sage spun the globe around, "It's just such a big sphere, and not all places have oil. How can it be infinite? It is very possible to be popular in the world."
The prince looked at the saint seriously, waiting for his father to explain to him.
"Changtai, today's steam ships burn coal, and steam locomotives are also being tested. What if oil is used instead of coal in the future?" The sage spoke slowly, guiding the prince to think.
"Since the people in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River have obtained coal supplies and stopped cutting down trees for cooking and heating, the treatment of the Yellow River for more than ten years has finally achieved results. Oil is more powerful than coal. If oil replaces coal, ships will run away It will be faster, and it will be more convenient for people to cook and heat.”
"Father, use oil-made Yanzhou stone liquid instead of pine smoke ink, and you can also cut down some trees."
"That's right, so the treasure under this large piece of land must not be abandoned."
"Father, must there be oil in this underground area?"
"Whether there is oil or not, we have to wait for those bachelors from the Academy of Sciences to explore. Our father and son are responsible for incorporating this land into the territory of Dajing."
"It is necessary to relocate the people there and occupy them."
"Yes. Let the people reproduce on this land for generations, let our army guard this land, and this place will belong to Dajing in the future."
The Empress is not in the Forbidden City, and the concubines, concubines, and nobles who stayed in the Sixth West Palace and the Palace of Compassionate Ning consciously stay in the west area, even if they go shopping in the garden, they only go to the garden of the Palace of Compassionate Ning, and no one goes there when they are free. Imperial Garden.The sage's harem has only had one empress and two concubines for many years. After Tu Ji and Tu Pi left the palace and established their respective marriages, and the orb descended to be a son-in-law, the shadow of the two concubines never appeared in the harem.
Neither of them wanted to come out to hinder the eyes of the queen and affect the future of their own children.
The huge Forbidden City seems to be the saint and empress living with their three sons and one daughter.The three princes practiced martial arts and observed politics with the saint every day, and Tu Dan and Tu Cheng were all studying in the study room, quietly.The hustle and bustle in the palace was caused by Princess Jinzhu alone.And Jin Zhu's noisy vigor alone was comparable to the five older brothers and one older sister in front of him.
No, when the sage stepped into Kunning Palace, he heard the queen scolding the golden pig.
"Golden pig, you are a royal princess, a girl, you have to behave like a royal princess, you can't climb trees like a wild boy."
"My mother said yes."
That tone sounded perfunctory.
Shi Shi was angry, just such a precious girl, she had told her thousands of times, no matter what, the queen mother was right, and then she didn't do it.If you want to order the nun to be strict, she can complain to the saint before the ruler hits her hand.
"Golden pig, can you be quiet for a few days so that the queen mother can rest easy! You make such a fuss in front of the mother every day, which makes the queen a headache."
"Empress Mother, I asked my grandfather to consider taking Jin Zhu to see Nanyang, but you want to keep my son in Beijing. It's not because I want to climb a tree today, but because the fireball is caught by snowballs and snowflakes. Come down, I really didn't mean to trouble you."
Huoqiu is a cat raised by Princess Jinzhu. It has a very rare medium red coat color and two dark golden eyes.It was brought back from England.And Xuetuan and Xuehua are the princess's lapdogs, their coat color is just like their names, and they are covered in snow white.They are all the princess's favorite pets. One cat and two dogs will often fight fiercely, and then the golden pig who lives in Kunning Palace will join in with a yell.Shi deeply felt that a sage should not have allowed his daughter to keep cats and dogs.
The saint really doted on the princess.Strict and strict requirements on the prince, and partial favor on this daughter, it seems that there are no rules in the world that should restrain her.
When the queen saw the corner of the saint's clothes, she pointed her finger at the saint.
"Ming Yun, come in and talk about Jin Zhuer, a girl must look like a girl."
The saint smiled, Jin Zhu'er is lucky, she is the first princess of the royal family, and all the rules in this world are really not for restraining such a person.
Seeing the sage's doting smile on his daughter, Shi felt a headache. It would be better to have a son to discipline him.
And the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, who just gave birth to a son, encountered the most troublesome thing before the child grew up to be disciplined.
