〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

Xiao Zixian has been free for the past two days, and only teaches the prince to read and write.

The prince is self-conscious and intelligent by nature, he can learn some knowledge by himself even without Xiao Zixian's teaching.

Taking advantage of the warmer weather, Xiao Zixian led the prince for a walk in the palace.

Su Ye asked: "Teacher, I heard from my father that your hometown is far away. Is it fun there? It's the first time the teacher has left the palace for so long. Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Zixian led him to sit down by the pool, and said: "The teacher went back this time to visit his father at home. He was plagued by illness the year before last, and the root has not been healed yet, so I was worried, so I went back to have a look."

The prince asked earnestly, "Then is the teacher's father okay now?"

"Well, it's alright."

Su Ye smiled sweetly: "That's good. Did the teacher go to see his friends after returning home?"

"Yes." Xiao Zixian nodded, "I met some old friends."

"Then the teacher's friends are all good-looking like the teacher?"

Xiao Zixian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "When will the prince ask this kind of question?"

"Isn't it said in the book?" Su Ye tilted his head, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. If the teacher is so good-looking, then the teacher's friends will also be good-looking, right?"

Xiao Zixian patted his head, "Actually, the teacher thinks the word 'good-looking' is more appropriate to describe a woman."

"Women?" Su Ye pondered for a while, "But I think the teacher looks good even if he is a man, and he fits well with Father!"

Xiao Zixian finally couldn't help laughing, "Since ancient times, women have been alluring, men are domineering, one strong and one soft, it is yin and yang. How can there be a saying that a man is suitable for a king? If the prince's words are heard by someone with ulterior motives Go, that will damage the majesty of your father."

Su Ye puffed up his cheeks, a little unwilling.What he said is obviously the truth!

Xiao Zixian patted his head and changed the subject, "Prince, if there is a chance in the future, how about I take you to my hometown?"

"Okay." Su Ye clapped his hands, and the bad mood just now was swept away. "When the time comes, I will ask my father to go with me, okay, teacher?"

Xiao Zixian was startled, then nodded.

At this time, the servant Chen Eunuch stepped forward to salute: "See you, the prince, the prime minister."

Xiao Zixian had a good impression of this man. Although he didn't have much contact with him, he knew that he was loyal to Emperor Qing.

"Chen Eunuch, you don't need to be polite."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Eunuch Chen raised his head and said, "The court has already ended, and the emperor asked the prime minister and the crown prince to go to the South Palace."

Xiao Zixian was not surprised, and said: "Let's go now!"

The Imperial Palace is divided into four areas - the South Hall, the North Palace, the East House and the West Court.

The main residence of the south hall is the emperor's study and the court hall. At this time, the Qing emperor was standing in front of the window, looking at the sky above, as if he was thinking, but also seemed to be silent.

After waiting for Xiao Zixian and Su Ye to come in, he turned his head.

"Father."

Su Ye ran over.

Emperor Qing picked up Su Ye, turned to Xiao Zixian, and said straight to the point: "I'm going to tour the south in three days."

Xiao Zixian's eyelids twitched, "Why does the emperor suddenly want to tour the south?"

"I'm tired."

Su Ye put his arms around Emperor Qing's neck and asked, "Why doesn't Father rest when he's tired? Instead, he's going on a southern tour?"

Emperor Qing said: "I face these national affairs every day, so of course I will get tired. It's not too much to visit once in a while."

So, Xiao Zixian thought to himself, this trip to the south is just to eat, drink and play, right?

"I will make all the arrangements, but you all don't need to make excuses, especially you, Prime Minister."

Xiao Zixian tried his best to make his expression look natural, "The emperor is going on a southern tour, so I'd better stay in the palace and take care of the emperor's affairs!"

Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is no shortage of people who do these things in the palace. Without you, the palace would be short of roofs and broken pillars?"

Xiao Zixian was helpless, the emperor was determined to let him accompany him.

"The king should not limit himself too much to reading memorials to manage the world. Walking among the people at the right time will help reduce the blindness of the king. As Ye'er's teacher and my servant, don't you have the obligation to walk with me to understand the public's opinions and understand the people's hearts?"

Xiao Zixian sighed silently in his heart, Your Majesty, can you leave a way for the minister to survive?

"Teacher, let's go together. I read in the book that there are many beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and now that spring is here, everything has a new life. It is very suitable for hiking. If you don't go, you will regret it!"

Now that it's all said and done, Xiao Zixian will never refuse again.

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing that he seemed displeased, Emperor Qing said, "I'm making it difficult for you by saying this?"

"Of course not." Xiao Zixian hastily smiled, "I'm just worried about diet."

Emperor Qing was puzzled, "The national treasury has suffered a huge deficit recently?"

"..."

Xiao Zixian was dumb, how should he discuss with the emperor the problems of acclimatization that might have happened to him during the Southern Tour?

Su Ye showed a bright smile: "Alright, I'm going out of the palace to play."

Seeing the prince smiling so happily, the question Xiao Zixian was about to ask was aborted immediately.

Therefore, for the southern tour three days later, Emperor Qing began to correct the memorials without sleep.

Even though the world has been settled and the country is getting richer and richer, many problems are still unresolved, as you can see from the daily remonstrance notes.There will be no corrupt officials in the imperial court, and local officials will never fail to exploit the people.The safety of the people is the safety of the country. If we do not pay attention to it, the country will be destroyed.For this reason, the memorials of the ministers' admonitions have always been reviewed by Emperor Qing himself.He has no harem music, nor is he good at orchestral strings, so he doesn't hate memorials.

When Xiao Zixian passed the south hall, he saw that there was still candlelight inside, so he stopped and thought about it, and then walked back.

When he came back, he had a porcelain cup in his hand.

Eunuch Chen was waiting outside the door, just about to salute, but Xiao Zixian waved his hand at him, and said: "Your Majesty."

Qingdi paused the pen and ink in his hand, "Come in!"

The refreshing incense was burning in the south hall, and Xiao Zixian knew that the emperor was going to stay up all night tonight when he heard it.

Emperor Qing asked, "Why haven't you rested all this time?"

"Your Majesty, shouldn't this question be asked by a humble official? There are few affairs in the court recently, why is the Emperor busier than when there was an incident?"

Opening the porcelain cup, the golden-yellow soup inside was steaming, Xiao Zixian put it in front of Qingdi, and tidied up the somewhat messy table by the way.

Qingdi's mouth was frivolous, and the gloomy mood just now disappeared.After a few sips, I relieved some fatigue.

"Although there are few things in recent days, if they accumulate every day, they will be too many things. I don't want to take these notebooks with me on the southern tour in three days."

"How long does the emperor plan to go? To accumulate so many books?"

Xiao Zixian looked around, there were at least hundreds of memorials on the table, and there were quite a few piles under the table.

"It's a southern tour, so it will take longer. My expectation is two months."

Xiao Zixian looked up at the sky, does the emperor want to tour the entire south of the Yangtze River?

At the end, Emperor Qing said again: "Go and rest! I'm fine here alone."

Xiao Zixian glanced at the memorial on the table, then walked to the incense burner, and said: "Although the incense burner can refresh the mind, if it is burned all night, it will not be good for the body. I still give it to the emperor." Extinct!"

Emperor Qing nodded.

Xiao Zixian went back to Emperor Qing, took a few papers in his hands, and said: "Anyway, the memorial is here, the emperor must not be here early, and the minister will stay up all night tonight."

Emperor Qing covered the porcelain cup and said: "Since ancient times, the emperor has reviewed the memorials, and the courtiers just submit them. Even if the court is not early tomorrow, you still have to give lectures to Ye'er, go back and rest."

Xiao Zixian said with a smile: "Eating the king's salary will relieve the king's worries. I can read the words written on the booklet to the emperor."

"..."

Emperor Qing thought about it, this was a good idea, so he simply didn't stop him.

The monarch and his ministers were so busy all night, and at dawn, most of the booklets on the table were gone.

Xiao Zixian saw that Emperor Qing was a little tired, so he said: "Your Majesty, please stop writing for a while, and I will read some scriptures for you."

Qingdi rubbed his brows, then moved a stool for him himself, and said: "You are tired after standing all night, sit down and talk."

Xiao Zixian was not too polite, his feet were a little sore, of course he was happy to sit.

But Emperor Qing was slightly displeased after he sat down: "Why are you sitting so far away? Is there an indecent smell on me?"

"Of course not." Xiao Zixian shook his head, and then said: "I am afraid that I have it."

"..."

Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "I don't dislike you, sit closer so I can hear you clearly."

Xiao Zixian had no choice but to move the chair over, and then began to read the booklet.

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from General Lin Fu. It says that grain and grass have been stolen or destroyed frequently on the border recently. It has been found out that some small thieves from the Western Regions were ordered to do it. General Lin thinks this is the case. The disrespect and contempt of the small countries in the Western Regions towards the Qing Dynasty. The sum of the small countries in the Western Regions is not as good as our Qing Dynasty, so these small tricks want to destroy the food and grass, and let the Qing Dynasty increase the pressure on food and grass. This is disrespect. And send some little thieves to Come, it is to despise our dynasty. So the general begged the emperor to order him to go to war, so as to destroy the vigor of those small countries and increase the majesty of our dynasty."

Afterwards, Emperor Qing pondered for a while, and asked, "There has been no war between the Qing Dynasty and the Western Regions for ten years. What does the Prime Minister think about this?"

"Of course, the minister is the master and not the master of the war. What the general said was too impulsive. Although food and grass are indispensable in the army, there is no reason to break the peace between our dynasty and the Western Regions for some small thieves. If the general When we go out on a campaign, tens of thousands of lives are lost, how is this different from killing innocent people indiscriminately? At that time, who will respect and obey me?"

Emperor Qing looked at him, and smiled rarely: "I haven't agreed with him yet, why are you so angry?"

"The emperor forgives the crime, but the minister is just admonishing the truth."

Emperor Qing didn't blame him either, after getting along for a long time, he already knew Xiao Zixian's temper.This person's hometown is a foreign tribe. Once the Qing Dynasty goes out to settle down, it will inevitably bring disaster to Chi Yu, so he will definitely not take the lead in the battle.

"Then according to the prime minister's wishes, how to deal with this?"

Seeing that Emperor Qing had no intention of going out at all, Xiao Zixian heaved a sigh of relief.

"In my opinion, it should be dealt with in accordance with the law. The laws of this dynasty say that the style of the army is the responsibility of the general. If those little thieves are really sent by foreigners as General Lin said, then they will only have some superficial skills and some knowledge. The little thief with flamboyant fists and embroidered legs can easily break into the barracks, which shows how negligent the management of the army is, and it should be the general's fault."

Qingdi nodded, wrote a sentence on the notebook, and then put it aside.

Xiao Zixian's brows finally relaxed.

Emperor Qing felt that this way of reading the memorial was good, at least it eased his tiredness a lot, so he gave Xiao Zixian another copy and said, "Continue."

Xiao Zixian opened it and continued reading.

And the general at the frontier collected the food and grass for a whole month after receiving the booklet. No matter the wind or the sun, the generals did not dare to make a sound.Fortunately, since that day, the food and grass in the army have never been lost.
