Chapter 907 The Virtue of Filial Piety
In the Xun Mansion, most of the servants felt uneasy. Although the Son of Heaven often came, this time was different. The Crown Prince was going to live here permanently to take care of Lord Xun Ling. These people were afraid that they would do something wrong and offend the Crown Prince. , and became extra cautious in doing things, Hu'er was sitting in front of Xun Linggong's bed, holding the medicine, still looking good.

Xun Linggong was lying on the bed, his whole body was extremely thin, his messy and silver-white hair was much thinner now, seeing that his legs were not as thick as his own, Hu'er was actually not very happy, this The old man who had been a big man all his life seemed to have come to the end of his lifespan. However, there was no fear on his face, and he looked at Hu'er beside him with a smile.

"I am so happy to see His Highness the Crown Prince coming."

Hu'er didn't know what to say, scratched his head, and smiled back.

Xun Yu smiled, and then said: "Your Highness can come to visit the old minister, which means that His Highness has grown up and knows how to win the support of the courtiers. Your Highness." Xun Yu said, Hu'er was stunned, maybe a little surprised, how could Xun Yu dare to break the key point?However, at Xun Yu's age, even if he scolded the emperor all day in the mansion, no one would dare to punish him.
For the next few days, Liu Qu stayed by Xun Yu's side all day. Xun Linggong was indeed very old, but his thoughts were not disturbed in the slightest, even if he couldn't move his whole body, but every time he On the morning of the next day, I still have to listen to my son's report, learn many things about the big man, and be able to give some advice on the government. At this time, Hu'er is always called to his side, and some words seem to be deliberately said to him. of.

Hu'er can also understand the painstaking efforts of the old man, but he has never been a studious person. Usually, when Xun Yu talked about the government affairs of the temple, he was not very serious and often lost his mind. He reprimanded him, thinking that he shouldn't respect Xun Linggong so much. Xun Shen married Hu'er's aunt, who was considered his elder, and Hu'er didn't dare to say anything.

Xun Yu didn't blame the prince, he just changed his way of telling.

"When Emperor Xiaokang was as old as His Royal Highness, the temple was still chaotic and chaotic. There were many people involved in the court. There were no good people around Emperor Xiaokang, so Emperor Xiaokang was in a hurry The Southern Army was set up, and they went to the Northern Army many times to treat them with sincerity. There was a soldier in the Southern Army who almost shot Emperor Xiaokang during a drill. However, Emperor Xiaokang did not blame him, but praised him for his amazing arm strength. There must be a great deal”

"It's this soldier who made his first contribution in the conquest of Xianbei in the future, and fought countless battles, that is, Sun Taiwei who died not long ago." The old man lying on the bed like a rotten wood seemed to talk about the past like a memory.

"In the northern army, there was another general, Zhang Huan. During Dong Chong's rebellion, his support was insufficient, and the event was almost ruined. I, Emperor Xiaokang, released him personally, saying: He is only talented!"

"General Zhang led the last northern army in the northwest, and fought hundreds of thousands of Xianbei bandits to the last moment, and also delayed the progress of the Xianbei people. There were no bones left, but it gave General Duan a chance to get rid of the big man. I'm in serious trouble!"

"Ah? Why didn't anyone tell me about these things? Not even my master?" Hu'er widened his eyes and asked a little excitedly. Xun Yu smiled and said, "People are always forgetful. Yes, even those who have witnessed all this with their own eyes may forget it, let alone them?"

"Xun Yeye, keep talking," Hu'er smiled, and moved closer to Xun Yu, looking at Xun Yu eagerly.

"Emperor Xiaokang was loved by the soldiers, and the officials in the court naturally dared not go against his will, but Emperor Xiaokang felt that this was not enough, he still needed to be loved by the people, so he implemented The strategy of farming, a large amount of cultivated land, and even the local officials led the people to reclaim it crazily. This move caused the number of Dahan’s cultivated land to skyrocket. During that period of time, Dahan put down everything and concentrated on farming.”

Hu'er widened his eyes and nodded.

"Emperor Xiaokang never built a palace in his life, nor did he enjoy it. He can often wear a piece of clothing for four or five years until it is worn out and can no longer be worn. He is not willing to throw it away."

"He asked He Zi again, is there any capable minister in the world who can govern the country for me? At that time, He Zi recommended several people to Emperor Xiaokang, the most famous of which was Wang Fu from Liangzhou."

"Prince? I know him!" Hu'er said enthusiastically.

"Wang Fu is a man of great talent, but he doesn't want to be an official. He concentrates on farming in Liangzhou. When he learned of the emperor's conquest, he offered his books. If Emperor Xiaokang could read his books but not kill him, You can serve your own life, Your Highness may not know that Wang Fu, how should I put it, is extremely weird and arrogant, even Emperor Xiaokang, he dared to curse in the court meeting, and he didn't take anyone seriously."

"It's such a courtier, but Emperor Xiaokang takes good care of him in every possible way. As for letting him be the minister, the position of Situ is very important."

"Later, when the Son of Heaven learned that the local tyrants were in trouble, he adopted Wang Fu's proposal to punish the local tyrants, opened up the system of scientific merit, adopted the proposal of hearing people attack, opened up trade routes, listened to He Zi's suggestion, and built official schools. , Enlighten young children, revitalize the law, promote water conservancy, levy three Koreas, and help South Korea. Even, in order to promote cattle herding, Emperor Xiaokang insisted on riding in an ox cart for more than ten years."

Hearing the great achievements of his ancestors, Hu'er was obviously a little surprised. He had never heard of many things. From Xun Yu's description, he could already think of a wise and mighty emperor. It was his great-grandfather, Hu'er grinned and couldn't help laughing, Xun Yu stopped, Hu'er said anxiously: "Xun Yeye, please say something more."

"Your Highness, I'm a little tired, let's continue talking tomorrow."

From then on, Hu'er never felt that serving Duke Xun Ling was a hard job. He sat beside Xun Yu earnestly all day long, listening to Xun Yu's stories about Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Xiaoxian. What Yu said obviously respected Emperor Xiaokang more. Emperor Xiaoxian imitated Emperor Xiaokang's behavior in many places, but I couldn't bear the simple clothes and built palaces many times.

After hearing this for about ten days, Hu'er has completely become an admirer of Emperor Xiaokang, a hardcore admirer. He felt that the reason why Emperor Xiaokang was able to pick up the heavenly book might not only be because God blesses the great man, but if other emperors pick it up When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be as good as what Emperor Xiaokang did. He even started to imitate Emperor Xiaokang and put on plain clothes.

On this day, Xun Yu was panting with difficulty, and looked at Hu'er beside him, "Your Highness, cough, cough... I've been here for a long time, and it's time for Your Highness to leave."

"Huh?" Hu'er looked at Xun Yu in front of him with some reluctance.

"Your Highness, think about it, what did Emperor Xiaokang do after gaining the support of the soldiers and ministers?"

"He went to farm and won the support of the people!"

"Then His Highness has now been loved by the soldiers of the North and South Army. During this period of time, the ministers were moved by His Highness's behavior of serving the veterans in person. What should His Highness do next?"

"I should try to win the love of the people!" Hu'er yelled, when he found that his behavior was somewhat similar to that of Emperor Xiaokang, he was so excited that he couldn't sit still. Some distressed, he asked: "But, how can I win the love of the people? Even if I order to cultivate, no one will listen to me."

"Haha, that's easy, Your Highness, did you hear about the locust plague in Liangzhou?" Xun Yu asked, and Hu'er's eyes lit up.

"I know what to do!! Thank you, Mr. Xun Ling! Thank you!", Hu'er bowed to Xun Yu, and then left Xun Yu's mansion. Xun Yu was lying on the bed with a smile all over his face. Xun Shen bid farewell to Hu'er and returned to the sickbed. Seeing Xun Yu's happy face, Xun Shen couldn't help but said, "It seems that father really hates the prince. So happy."

"What do you know? The old man is happy, and he can finally close his eyes with peace of mind." Xun Yu said happily with a smile on his face, but a tear fell from his eyes, which was translucent.

"Greetings, father!", when Hu'er walked into Houde Hall and bowed to the emperor, Liu Xi almost spit out the tea in his mouth, who is this?Hu'er was wearing plain clothes, even patched, and he treated himself very respectfully. Liu Xi rubbed his eyes, looked at Hu'er, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Father!" Hu'er bowed again, raised his head, his eyes were full of pity, and said, "Father, my son heard that there was a locust plague in Liangzhou, which caused 10,000+ people to suffer. My heart aches, and I hope my father can let me go to Liangzhou to help the disaster relief with Yuan Gong and others! My child is willing to eat and live with the victims, and I must save them from suffering."

"You, you." Liu Xi pointed at the tiger in front of him, and even trembled, what did Xun Yu do to my son? ?Why did he suddenly become a different person? ?

"I hope my father will agree!", Hu'er bowed again.

"What's the matter with you? Did you, Xun Linggong, teach you?"

"Xun Linggong just told the boy a few stories."

Liu Xi did not reject Hu'er's proposal. Seeing Hu'er happily leave Houde Hall, Liu Xi sat in his seat. How should I put it, seeing Hu'er suddenly grow up, he was of course happy in his heart, but he I also have some doubts about my ability. I have been teaching for so many years, but nothing has changed. How can Xun Yu do things that I couldn't do well just by telling a few stories? ?
Am I really that miserable? ?

The emperor fell into deep self-doubt.
