i really have no talent

Chapter 11 Situation

Daxia, Jingzhou, and Yingtianfu.

After dealing with the trivial matters of the court, Emperor Xia Zhu Jianming got up, accompanied by an elderly but vigorous eunuch in brocade clothes, and followed behind Emperor Xia.

Rubbing the uncomfortable eyebrows, Emperor Xia waved his hand, the old eunuch understood, and hurriedly dispersed the eunuchs who were waiting around.

"His Majesty……"

"Find suitable clothes and go to the old lady's house."

"promise……"

When he was alone, Emperor Xia Zhu Jianming was calm, but thinking about what happened in the court just now, his brows frowned slightly again.

But after a while, the old eunuch came with a brocade box, and then took out a set of light yellow brocade clothes unhurriedly, and spent some time waiting for His Majesty to put on the clothes before letting the people around him change into the same clothes. The guards in disguise accompanied him.

Coming out of the Forbidden City, they walked along the moat of the inner city for a certain distance. In a hidden corner near the city, the guards who were walking in front stopped and stood in front. The three of them formed corners and looked around each other.Another imperial guard stepped forward, groped on the city wall, and then popped out a small opening, took out his unique seal, and dropped it into the concave and convex, without leaving any gaps.

"Crack..."

"Pedal~"

After a slight sound, a small stone gate that only allowed one person to enter and exit was slowly opened from the city wall, and a guard entered. After checking that there was no danger inside, he came out.

Immediately afterwards, the old eunuch stepped forward, Emperor Xia followed, and entered along the small stone gate. Finally, everyone entered, and the stone gate was closed heavily.

Entering the wall, the space is a little more spacious. Every ten feet, there will be torches to illuminate it. At ten feet, there will also be a guard in black armor with only eye sockets remaining.

"Your Majesty, this way..."

"........."

After going back for a mile, a small room of several cubic meters appeared in front of him.

In front of him, eight copper doors with identical attire appeared. The old eunuch stepped forward, took out something from his waist, and twisted a copper door on the side, and the door lock forged from solid copper slowly opened.

This hidden road is not only hidden, but also extremely complicated. There are different settings on each road, and each wall has its function.

After entering the copper gate, passing through a bend, and passing through several fork roads, after a few miles of travel, a gleam of light appeared in front of it.

After walking out of the shadows, the scenery in front of him had already changed, and the carriage that had just arrived outside the door also rushed over.

"Let's go."

"drive……"

Sitting in the carriage, the group headed towards Taifu's Mansion in the south of the city.

In Yingtian Mansion, the news of Old Madam Ye's awakening had already spread throughout Yingtian immediately, and the common people shouted the words of Your Majesty's protection and God's protection.

In the south of the city, the seventh house on Zhuque Street is the mansion of old lady Fu Ye Sucheng.

At this moment, in front of the Ye Mansion, dozens of figures densely blocked the door, all of them were officials in the court and some famous people from the literary world and hundreds of families came to visit.

Emperor Xia and his entourage came to the door without revealing their identities.

The old eunuch asked the guards around him to pass something to the old butler of the Ye family who was greeting him at the gate, and then led Xia Di's carriage to another gate of Ye Mansion.

When the old butler received the token from the imperial guards, his heart tightened. Knowing that it was the coming of summer, he quickly broke away from the crowd, and then apologized. After he asked his side to greet the guests, he went to the mansion with the news. and go.

In front of the gate of another house in Ye Mansion, just as Emperor Xia got off the car, the bronze door in front of him was already opened, and the old housekeeper walked out tremblingly with one person supported.

Emperor Xia was in front of him, and when he was about to kneel down, he held his hands and pulled him up.

"The old lady is not feeling well, so there is no need to be so polite..."

"As a subject, the old man should."

"No! Old Madam Fu, your health hasn't recovered yet. How can you do this? You don't need to salute me when you see me in the future. If something bad happens, the Confucian literati in this world don't know what kind of stupid king they will call me... "

"........."

Xia Di supported the old matriarch, came to the small lake in the courtyard, walked into the pavilion, someone came in immediately and laid a heated brocade mat and hot tea.

After finishing the arrangement, the old eunuch waved his hand, and all the maids and servants who were waiting around slowly retreated, only Emperor Xia and the old matriarch who kept coughing were left here.

"Master, do you want to lie down and rest..."

With no one around, Emperor Xia directly called him Master.

The old lady waved her hand, then covered her mouth with a brocade scarf, a trace of bright red blood dripped from between her fingers through the white brocade scarf to the ground.

"I'm still old, not as good as before..."

Ye Sucheng said jokingly that Emperor Xia sensed his emotions, and then comforted him: "Master, you are only 70 years old, and the outside world is telling you that you can live 150 years without disease or disaster at the level of a master..."

"You said it all, it's just rumors, why take it seriously. Besides, I have no regrets in being able to teach you and other disciples in my life..."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia was silent for a moment, and only held the old man's hand and trembled slightly. He understood that the old man in front of him was worthy of everyone, but he dared not say sorry for himself and his wife, Mrs. Yang, who died young.

Old Madam Ye has practiced one way all his life and can reach the realm of a master. His talent can be said to be no weaker than tens of millions of people, so it goes without saying.

The way of Confucian literature, there are no less than dozens of Confucian words that have been compiled into books in a lifetime, and they are highly respected by Confucian literati.

Preaching and dispelling doubts, the number of disciples who taught at the beginning of the school has exceeded a thousand. As for the re-teaching below, disciples and grandchildren, etc., there are more if you calculate it carefully.

There is only one thing, which has always been a sore spot in the old master's heart that will never be erased.

That is the family, because the original wife died early, and the only son was neglected to discipline, so that the only son was unable to succeed in education and martial arts, and the old master was so famous, but his son was so incompetent, so the expectations for him were naturally much higher than ordinary people, After a long time, the relationship between father and son deteriorated, and in the end they even turned against him, and ran off to start a business in a fit of anger.

Such an ending broke the already unfamiliar father-son relationship, and Ye Sucheng even let out the words that he did not have such a son.

There is no contact between old age and death, but old people, whoever is old, don't want their children and grandchildren to live on their knees and take care of them for the rest of their lives.

But since ancient times, only the son admits his mistakes, how can I admit my mistakes to my son.

Therefore, in the past 30 years, Ye Sucheng only knew that he had two grandsons and one granddaughter. These simple information were nothing more than that.

Now, after going through life and death, when he woke up again, he looked away a little and was no longer so persistent.

At the same time, news came from the old housekeeper that his son, whom he hadn't seen for 30 years, had sent a letter.

It's just that the emperor is here now, and Ye Sucheng hasn't had time to take it apart to read it, but he can't wait in his heart.

"Master, I can't wait..."

Ye Sucheng turned his face sideways, looking at the current emperor of Daxia in front of him, in a daze, as if he had returned to the street where they first met 25 years ago.

He held a steamed bun in his hand, at one end was a hungry old beggar, and at the other end was a young family dog ​​with messy coat.

At that time, when Ye Sucheng thought he was a kind person, he threw the steamed bun in his hand in front of the puppy that was about to starve to death, and passed by the old beggar.

This scene shocked Ye Sucheng at the time, but now, he understands that the person in front of him is an extremely qualified king.

Old beggars and puppies, who to choose to save is not just a moral issue.

"Wait a little longer, ten years at most."

"For major events in the world, the long-term must be united, and the long-term must be divided. Now the land of the three barbarians is unified, and only Gu Di is left on the grassland with a little resistance. In the four countries, the Great Xia is the first, the Great Zhou is second, and the Great Qi and the Great Yan are almost the same, but With the emergence of this incident, the four countries may have something in common in many aspects. When the time comes, the time will come. As for the rest, it will be done step by step. If your calculations are not wrong, it will be accomplished in ten years..."

"Ten more years..."

Emperor Xia looked up at the sky, his eyes were deep and full of tiredness, and immediately after, his right hand touched the hilt of the sword, and he grasped it, and then a powerful momentum burst out from his body, and his eyes changed again. Majestic and full of strength.

"After all, I was too anxious..."

At this moment, Emperor Xia seemed to have regained some of his former iron-blooded ruthlessness, and the emotions on his face had also dissipated a lot.

Turning around again, I no longer exchanged some state affairs with the old master, but narrated some family affairs and the education of several princes. The scope of the discussion was extensive and substantial.

Ye Sucheng listened, commented a few words from time to time, and then told Emperor Xia, don't be in a hurry to educate the children, give more time and patience, and don't be too urgent.

Emperor Xia seemed to have listened, nodded, mobilized his true energy again, checked some internal conditions of the old matriarch, stayed at the matriarch's residence for more than an hour, until the imperial guards sent an urgent message, and then Hastily rushed back to the palace.

After Emperor Xia left, Ye Sucheng looked in the direction of the palace, his eyes changed from idleness to worry.

The whole person seemed to be lost in thought, a little absent-minded, but at the same time his expression became firm.

When the old housekeeper came with a letter and a piece of rice paper in his hand, Ye Sucheng took the envelope, opened it tremblingly,
There were only a few words in the letter, but it made Ye Sucheng relax, and the tears in his eyes were like water, which could not be stopped.

After receiving the piece of rice paper from the old housekeeper and reading the words on the rice paper, the whole person couldn't restrain his emotions and admired loudly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

When Ye Sucheng saw the final signature, he seemed to have forgotten that he was still seriously injured. He patted his thigh, with a smile on his lips, and his cheeks were slightly flushed. He couldn't hide the excitement that emanated from his bones. meaning.

Seeing this, the old butler hurried forward to support Ye Sucheng, coughed for a long time, and finally controlled his emotions.

After finally coaxing him, he fell asleep leaning on the recliner, but the piece of rice paper in his hand was tightly wrapped in his arms, and he regarded it as a treasure.

Putting warm clothes on for the old master, seeing this scene, the old housekeeper also had tears in his eyes, rolled up his sleeves and wiped them gently, and he was relieved.

It seems that it has been 20 years since the old master was so happy, and he is also old, and it has not been a few years since he was able to accompany the old master.

"Hey, if the young master is still in the mansion, serving by the master's side, with his descendants around his knees, that would be great..."

The old housekeeper sighed inwardly, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then ordered the servants at home to decoct the medicine.
