: The love between junior brothers ()

In the Forbidden City's Heart-Healing Hall, the emperor is discussing affairs with Sun Ruizhen, Minister of Rites and Du Shoutian, Minister of Works. The former is fine, but the latter has a very special relationship with the emperor: was he the teacher when he was a new king or a prince!

After spending 13 years together, the relationship between the junior brothers is better than father and son. Today is the first time that the two of them have met after the emperor ascended the throne. They are a little forgot about it. It was only after the reminder of their colleagues that Du Shoutian realized how unceremonious it was to look at the emperor directly like this: "Your Majesty, the old minister has lost his etiquette!"

"Teacher..." The emperor subconsciously helped him with his hands, and hurriedly retreated. The emperor and his ministers must be serious about their defenses, and gave a wink to the little eunuch beside him. Liu Fu hurried over to help the two of them up: "Come and bring the two adults!"

"Zhe!" The so-called stool is a domino stool made of red sandalwood. The two of them had already thanked each other and were sitting on the stool. The emperor looked at his teacher and chuckled: "I haven't seen him for a few days, and the teacher has also cleared down. How are you sleeping well?"

"It is often the concern of the emperor, and the old minister still calls him healthy in bold."

The emperor felt very boring. Being an emperor is a person who has no companions, no friends, and even a confidant...work! No wonder he is called a lonely person. This is the first time that young people feel this lonely feeling. He turned to look at Sun Ruizhen: "Lishang, is there anything important to meet today?"

"Reply to the emperor's words, I and Lord Du today are for the purpose of honoring the emperor's edict the day before yesterday: '...Respect the emperor to study the imperial edict for thirty years. I have been worried and diligent in the night. I have been very busy. I have been very busy and have little time. I respect the heavens and the ancestors, work diligently and love the people, and my literary virtues cannot be exhausted... and I will always be grateful for the kindness of my self-reward. I will be given a detailed examination of the Yi Chapter and I will be promoted to the posthumous title. I will be recommended to be heard by the Grand Secretary and the Nine Ministers and Ministers. I will use my deputy to show my respect for Moliere, and I will respect my great intentions.'"

"...My ministers and others respect the emperor's edict and discuss with the six ministries and nine ministers. They respectfully plan to go to the emperor to honor the posthumous title: "I am the heavenly fu, the middle body and the righteous, and the literature, saints, martial arts, wise, brave, merciful, filial and intelligent, and became the emperor, and the temple name is Xuanzong. The world is for generations. It is called Xuanzong Emperor."

As he spoke, he took out the memorial from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch, and transferred it to the emperor. The new king took it in his hand and opened it to look at it, and closed it again: "The emperor had been diligent and thrifty all his life. Although he was the emperor of Wancheng, he had to avoid entertainment of music, sex, money and profit. He set an example for thirty years. He was actually a virtuous king who had never been seen in the ages. The four words "kindness, thrift, diligence and filial piety" are the best used."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"what else?"

"There is also the matter of giving honorary titles to the emperor's concubines," Sun Ruizhen asked herself that she did not have a deep friendship with the emperor as Du Shoutian, and spoke very carefully: "I would like to ask the emperor to tell you."

"Come on." A little eunuch took his memorial, and the latter took it over and opened it to see: Emperor Jing's Imperial Concubine Borjijit, Emperor Kangci, Concubine Lin, Concubine Kaolin, Concubine Tong, Concubine Tong, Concubine Jia, Concubine Jia...

The emperor picked up the imperial pen and was about to write, but stopped again: "Talking to the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yeah!"

Soon, Wen Qing, the Minister of the Interior, came to the imperial court. After the salute, the emperor asked: "According to the rules, how much silver is the supply of the imperial concubines and concubines who are worth every day, month and year?"

"When I go back to the emperor, according to the rules, the imperial concubines have 1,000 taels of silver, 91 pieces of silk, satin, silk, yarn and other silk fabrics every year, 60 pieces of cloth, 20 strands of gold thread, 10 kilograms of velvet thread, 6 kilograms of cotton thread, 40 kilograms of cotton, and 90 pieces of marten skin. Daily example: 25 kilograms of pork..."

"Okay! I know. What if I want to give them more?"

"The Emperor can instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to submit the money to the imperial court for the purpose of the imperial examination, so that the slaves can handle the orders." After pausing, he said, "In fact, this money is also enough for the concubines. They stay in the palace every day and use less money..."

The emperor thought his words were a little reasonable, but they were a little plausible, so he had to answer: "Okay, you go down, I'll think about it."

Seeing Wen Qing leave the warm pavilion, the emperor picked up the memorial, looked at it briefly, and handed it to the next one: "Let's follow the discussion."

The eunuch took it back to the courtesan: "I understand. After I go down, I will follow the order."

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, according to the palace's rules, it's time to choose a beautiful lady in the palace maid again. I asked Li Jiale, the deputy chief of the Shaanxi Department of the Ministry of Revenue, and he said that you have to ask Your Majesty to show you this matter. As long as Your Majesty's holy wishes are certain, they can start planning immediately."

"It's time for the national mourning, so this kind of thing is delayed. Well, wait next year." The emperor turned his head and looked at him for a while. Just when the other party showed him a little bit furious, fortunately, the emperor spoke: "Why, have you actually started to ask about the errands of the Ministry of Revenue? Is this overreach of authority?"

Sun Ruizhen quickly lowered her head: "Go back to the emperor, I should be in charge of choosing a beautiful lady in the palace maid as usual. The Ministry of Revenue only assisted from the side, and I have no way of overstepping my authority."

This was a bit like talking back to the emperor. Fortunately, the young man on the imperial throne was not angry about this issue, but just chuckled and waved his hand: "Okay, I'm just asking casually, please kneel down and rest."

So Sun Ruizhen knew that the emperor and Du Shoutian had something to say separately, and did not dare to neglect them, so she knelt down and came out.

Du Shoutian didn't know why this disciple was suddenly unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He lowered his head slightly, and could only see the soft boots the emperor called as if frozen in the air: "Old..."

"Emperor!" Du Shutian suddenly looked up excitedly. The junior brothers wanted to touch each other, and then hurriedly avoided each other. The old man hardened his heart and said, "Your Majesty, do you still call the old minister the name?"

"I really miss the days when the teacher taught me." His voice seemed to have no fixed goal, but just came to the air: "At that time, I was disobedient and had a prince. The teacher could not beat or scold me, so I could only teach with the knowledge of the saint little by little. When I think about it, you really struggled!"

"...So from then on, I told myself that if one day I could do it, I would do all my strength to give my teacher compensation. Now I know that even if I have such an idea, it depends on whether others will accept it!"

"Emperor!" Du Shoutian immediately knelt down: "Is the thunder and rain dew a blessing? The old minister must not dare..."

"Get up, get up!" The emperor also felt sad for his words and felt unbearable: "I...I have no other intention."

Du Sutian stood up with the help of the eunuch, brushing the corner of his eyes: "Emperor, since ancient times, there have been differences between the monarch and the ministers. This should be the case whether it is the monarch and the emperor's teacher. Therefore, please ask the emperor to call the old minister by his name?"

"Okay." The emperor was so happy that he nodded and agreed: "Come on!"

"exist."

"Transfer my will: Du Shoutian, the Minister of Works, is my enlightened mentor. He is dedicated to the mission delivered by the Emperor Kao, and dare not slacken for a day. I uphold the ancestor of the Emperor Kao, respect the ancestor of heaven and law, and be kind to the governor of the country. Here, the ministers who are loyal and worried about the country should be rewarded and given the title of Prince of the Minister of Works, and the title of Prince of the Minister of Works."

"twitter!"

The emperor waved his hand and stopped Du Shoutian from speaking intently: "I will draw another decree. Zeng Guofan, the Minister of Rites, issued an edict to me to ask for words this time, and the memorials submitted by me were clear and the words were intimate, which was very close to my heart, so I walked in the Nan Study."

"Also, Xu Naizhao, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, has been diligent in his work since he entered the court and has performed his duties conscientiously. He has been highly appreciated by the Emperor. He also walked in the Fengnan Study Room!"
