I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 311 I'm Tired~
Empress Dowager Dou just left the banquet at the beginning of the dinner, and left such inexplicable melancholy words, the atmosphere in the hall was not even warm, but it became more and more deep.

On the first imperial couch, the emperor Qi was full of melancholy, but he did not forget to wear a slightly deliberate forced smile;

In the first seat of the east seat, Empress Jia and Mrs. Bo next to her were weeping and sobbing from time to time;

As the teacher, Liu Sheng raised his head sideways with a complex expression, his eyes swept across the vicissitudes of the face of Emperor Qi, and from time to time he let out a few deliberately suppressed laments.

And when Liu Sheng was seated, the Jiaoxi King Liu Zhi, who was still a little ignorant, was hugged tightly by his mother, Mrs. Wang, who was also crying into tears, as if she didn't know what happened at all...

"Little Ten~"

"My King Jiaoxi."

"Ah······"

"Come, come forward;"

"Come to me."

"The words are heavy, but in one word, it is nothing more than: Farmers are the foundation of the country, and people are the foundation of agriculture."

You call this six years old? ! !

"Since then, my son has learned that whether my Han family was forced to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, Zhao Tuo in the south, or the rebels in the Kanto region, we were forced to do nothing."

"Internal affairs, division and management; foreign affairs, division and payment."

But on Liu Sheng's face, there was still that elegant smile;

"As the King of Jiaoxi of my Han family, Xiao Shi, what should I do?"

"Only by truly doing practical things for the people under his rule can he become a virtuous king who is truly loved by the people..."

"It seems that you have learned a lot by the prince's side?"

"That is to say: the ancestral temples and shrines of my Han family have always been home to sages and those who have won the support of all people in the world."

"how?"

But for His Royal Highness the King of Jiaoxi, who is only six years old and has almost completely lost, or has never had the ability to hit the reserve position: Compared with the ambition of "Northern Expedition to the Huns", it is comforting to the king and let him The eldest brother of the prince is pleased, obviously it is a more realistic goal.

"Over the past year or so, my son has learned a lot from being with the eldest brother of the prince."

"On the other hand, if you always disregard the livelihood of the common people, then no matter how great your plan is, no matter how brilliant your strategy is, you will eventually be criticized by thousands of people, and you will even be left with a bad reputation..."

"No matter what plans those in power make, as long as they don't forget to put the livelihood of the common people as the primary consideration, in the end, even if they can't achieve much, they won't make unforgivable mistakes."

"The father has the duties of the father, and the elder brother of the prince has the responsibility of the elder brother of the prince. As the king of Jiaoxi, he has the duties that the king of Jiaoxi should perform."

Father Jun's kind, kind, yet serious questioning voice reached his ears, which only caused Xiao Liu to raise his head subconsciously;
What is different from the past and the past is that this time, little Liu Yi neither turned back to look at his mother, Mrs. Wang, nor turned sideways to look at his brother Liu Sheng for help.

He stopped in front of the imperial couch, bowed his hands to the emperor Qi politely, and before he could get up, he was picked up by the emperor Qi and sat down on his lap.

It was clearly a childish and waxy Confucian tone, but the content was so profound that everyone in the hall was distracted for a while;

"hey-hey."

"—After arriving in the Jiaoxi Kingdom, the son-in-law must respect Wang Taifu and humbly ask questions about governing the country."

In the end, he smiled and lowered his head, and gently pinched the tender flesh on both sides of Little Liu's cheeks.

"The eldest brother of the crown prince said: Your subject is too young, if you take power rashly, you will easily make mistakes that the elders will not make."

It seemed to be a joke, but also like a test, and Tianzi Qi raised his head with a smile that was not a smile, and kept his playful eyes on Liu Sheng.

On the other hand, Empress Jia, who was at the table, glanced at Liu Sheng with some uneasiness, and then pretended to be indifferent: "This child, Ah Zhu, has been intelligent since he was a child;"

"The sages have said: If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government."

Except for the 'instigator' Liu Sheng's face as usual, and Tianzi Qi's face remained unchanged, the rest of the people looked at Liu Zhi with a hint of disbelief for a moment.

"good."

"Then let's talk about it: I went to Jiaoxi Kingdom, Xiao Shi, what do you plan to do with this King of Jiaoxi?"

"But these things are things that the court needs to worry about, and they are things that the current father and the future prince and elder brother have to do."

Even though His Royal Highness King Jiaoxi is precocious, he is only a six-year-old child after all;

After Tianzi Qi's meaningful words of "abdicating the throne and letting the virtuous" spread to his ears, Liu Sheng still didn't even look at his younger brother Liu Zhi who was in Tianzi Qi's arms.

"From now on, my son understands: Although any water conservancy project is beneficial to the world, if it is prosperous, it will be a waste of money for the people."

"I also know that agriculture is the foundation and the people are the foundation..."

"The eldest brother of the prince also said: Restoring the country, warlike will perish, forgetting to fight will be dangerous..."

"So, my son intends to follow the teachings of the eldest brother of the prince."

After all, as a member of the royal family, Liu Zhi, who is only six years old, can better understand what "survival" is compared to the lofty ambition of "Northern Expedition to the Huns".

But in front of the first imperial couch, Tianzi Qi only stared deeply into the depths of Liu Sheng's eyes, and watched for a long, long time.

Under the encouraging eyes of Emperor Qi, His Royal Highness the King of Jiaoxi only hesitated for a moment, and then, according to his previous preparations, he revealed all the manuscripts he had prepared long ago.

"The eldest brother of the prince also said: The first emperor once said to the people around him that the real majesty is not conferred by the brocade clothes on the body and the seal on the waist, but by one's own noble virtues, which are spontaneously loved by the people of the world. "

The low, even vaguely mournful atmosphere was finally disrupted by Tianzi Qi's slightly hoarse voice;

After Liu Sheng nodded his head with the same smile, and slightly shrugged his shoulders slightly impolitely, the hesitant look on Xiao Liu's face, and then he returned to the previous confident and confident look.

···
"About governing the country, the eldest brother of the prince told his ministers: the so-called governing the country is nothing more than internal affairs and foreign affairs;"

"From the fact that the Zhengguo Canal has benefited tens of thousands of farmers in Weibei and hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, my ministers understand how important water conservancy and irrigation are to farmers and farming."

"——In Shanglin, my minister was led by the eldest brother of the prince. I saw the workshops of Shanglin Metallurgical Iron Division and Military Craftsman Division. I knew every arrow feather and every long sword used by our Han family in battle. They all gathered the painstaking efforts of countless craftsmen and the savings of the treasury."

"If I really have such a plan, Prince, would you be willing to abdicate for the virtuous?"

"Over the past year, what have you learned by the eldest brother of the prince?"

"And the eldest brother of the crown prince asked the Shaofu to tell his son-in-law: a [-]-mile-long Zhengguo canal was built when Qin Qin poured out all the power of the country. It took decades, and even almost ruined the national fortune and the ancestral temple."

It seemed to be a joke, but also had some deep meaning. Liu Sheng just smiled and lowered his head, not in a hurry to start a conversation.

"When the future is strong and crowned, the father will perform the crown ceremony for the son and minister, and then test the ability to govern the country, and the son will be ordered to take charge of the government, and govern the people of Jiaoxi according to the wishes of the father and the eldest brother of the prince. ..."

"The eldest brother of the prince said: Soldiers are murder weapons, and they must be used as a last resort."

"It's not uncommon for a crown prince to understand these truths."

"But the eldest brother of the prince said: as long as the army of the clan princes exceeds the necessary range, it will inevitably cause trouble to the Chang'an court."

Especially Tianzi Qi, who only looked at Liu Sheng meaningfully, then lowered his head with a chuckle, and gently pinched little Liu Zhi's face.

Following Liu Sheng's words, the expressions of Empress Jia and Mrs. Bo became more and more defeated as far as the naked eye could see!

"If building a canal can benefit tens of millions of people, but before it is completed, it will make tens of millions of people miserable, then such a canal should not be built... "

"Such insight at only six years old."

"Governance is to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and regulation is to eradicate the bad and evil government that hinders the people;"

Some words that seemed to be knocking, but couldn't hear much of the meaning of knocking, made Mrs. Wang flustered for a while;
However, Liu Sheng was not attracted by this little episode, but still with the faint smile from before, he quietly looked at Tianzi Qi who was lowering his head and teasing the youngest son in his arms.

"So when you become a king, you should not be arrogant and extravagant. You should cultivate virtue internally and learn skills externally."

"Father laughed."

"hey-hey!"

"Whatever you want, you can discuss it with the queen mother yourself."

"If it's true that Ah Si is more wise than the minister, then there is no need for the emperor to speak up, and there is no need for people in the world to gossip, the minister will naturally sit in the reserve position without shame, and take the initiative to abdicate to let the virtuous..."

"Father is kind, even if the minister made a mistake, he would not be harsh;"

After all, it is impossible for this extremely shrewd Mrs. Wang not to understand the truth that a tree is beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy it.

It's just this lady's worry, which doesn't seem very necessary.

"Yes~"

"However, whether it is internal affairs or foreign affairs, whether it is governance, taxation, levy, or diplomatic relations, the people of the country must be the primary consideration."

When everyone raised their heads, they saw the six-year-old King of Jiaoxi, Liu Zhi, walking forward step by step under the call of his father, Liu Qi.

"—No matter how smart you are, it was taught by the prince himself..."

Obviously, for today's Liu Zhi and his mother, Mrs. Wang, the corner of the emperor's face is the biggest guarantee for the word "survival"...
"Okay~"

"So, even if you want to build water conservancy projects to benefit the world, you should do it according to the state of the treasury and try not to harm the people, especially the poor farmers."

···
"Ah Shih has been wise since childhood. At this age, all my brothers have never had such insight."

"One day sooner or later, my Han family will raise troops to the north, march on the dragon city, and take back the humiliation suffered by Emperor Gao and Empress Lu from the Huns ten times and a hundred times!"

"Report to Father Emperor."

This time, Liu She didn't hesitate at all.

"The conquest is to eliminate the threat to the people's peace and contentment, and the reconciliation is to disturb the stability of the people."

"Hey;"

"However, if I make a mistake in my mind, it is very likely that thousands or tens of thousands of people in Jiaoxi Kingdom will be displaced, their families will be destroyed."

As far as Mrs. Wang could see: no matter whether it was the crown prince Liu Sheng, the emperor Qi and his son, or the empress Jia and Mrs. Bo who were seated in the east and west, there was nothing dangerous in the eyes of Liu Zhi.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three women in the hall all changed!
Whether it was Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Wang, or Mrs. Bo who seemed to have nothing to do with this sentence, they all stared wide-eyed and looked up in disbelief!

But after a while, this look of regret, under the gratifying eyes of Emperor Qi, turned into a touch of relief.

"Agriculture-oriented is people-oriented;"

After saying the last sentence, a little bit of regret could not help but appear on Xiao Liu's face.

"It is the duty of the King of Jiaoxi to govern the people of Jiaoxi well, to let hundreds of thousands of farmers in Jiaoxi live and work in peace and contentment, and not to add chaos to the court of Chang'an."

"In this way, the emperor's appointment of Ah Shu as the crown prince should be convincing to the people of the world..."

"So, instead of raising an army beyond the necessary range in the name of 'preparing for the Huns', it is better to do your job well."

"Tell me;"

"As for the Huns, if the court needs the Jiaoxi Kingdom to contribute, of course the officials there should do their best;"

···
"The eldest brother of the prince said: It is easy to be a king, as long as he is the son of the father, he can be a king;"

It is true that it is extremely difficult for such a wise and powerful lord who has not appeared in history for thousands of years to give up his lifelong ideals and his innate mission.

"As for the Huns, they have their own father, the eldest brother of the prince, and the Chang'an court to worry about."

"Speaking of it, Mrs. Wang lives well and teaches well..."

"When the prime minister and the internal historian are handling the affairs of the country, the sons and ministers should also watch and study from the sidelines, and earnestly learn the skills of governing the country."

"Talk about the princes and kings, what are the powers and responsibilities, what is important, what is good, what is taboo, what is evil?"

"But being a virtuous king is difficult. You need to learn many things that ordinary people don't know, master many skills that ordinary people have never mastered, and endure people and things that ordinary people cannot tolerate."

"Hmm~"

"My Han family, although it is wrongly called 'Liu Han' by the common people, but the success of the previous emperors in the past dynasties is the hope of all the people in the world."

But in the end, Tianzi Qi changed the subject again, and asked again with a little playfulness: "Then, what about the Huns?"

As for Mrs. Wang, she was half astonished and slightly expectant, her eyes kept wandering from Tianzi Qi and Liu Sheng.

"It makes me regret that I was so eager to register as a prince..."

···
"Now that you're ready, let's start packing."

"Whether it is Emperor Gao who establishes Emperor Xiaohui, or Emperor Xian and Emperor Li Fu, they all ask the people of the world first, and then obey the heavens."

"The Xiongnu and my Han family are eternal feuds!"

Another admirable, even outrageous description made Tianzi Qi laugh and nod again and again.

After a short moment of astonishment, Mrs. Wang, who was the first to react, immediately took on a look of panic.

···
"In Weibei, my son saw the Zhengguo Canal dug in the Qin Dynasty, and knew the key points of farming and mulberry, the first being irrigation."

——This is King Jiaoxi?
Is it Liu Zhi, the king of Jiaoxi who is only six years old and is about to become a feudal clan?

"For the Huns, my Han family, what should I do?"

"You're young, but you know a lot!"

Hearing the question from the emperor, Liu Zhi finally couldn't hold back his past habits, and turned to look at the elder brother of the prince who was the head teacher.

"As long as the Empress Dowager agrees, I will not be stingy with whatever money is available in the Young Mansion."

"I'm tired~"

"At that time, the prince will send it off for me."

"After all, he is a younger brother..."
