Chapter 545: Opinions
She said she was busy in the study and asked for leave.
When Shen Chuliu heard this, he was stunned for five seconds and then fell back on the pillow: "Don't call me again."
Since I'm not going to pay my respects, I must sleep a little longer.
So, the next time he woke up, he was picked up by the emperor. When he looked outside, the sun was already high in the sky, and it looked really late...
Shen Chuliu said in a daze, looking at the emperor: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Qi Yixiu was amused: "Not hungry?"
Shen Chuliu regained her senses and said calmly, "Oh, I am being disrespectful."
So he got up quickly and asked Chi Su to help him change clothes, wash and comb his hair, as if he had not slept so late.
Qi Yixiu just kept looking at her with amusement.
Look, she was sleepy while her hair was being combed.
"Aren't you going to draw eyes today?" Qi Yixiu asked when he saw that she was better.
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Your Majesty is not hungry?"
Draw eyes? I told you to look at me and draw with your eyelids flipped up? Are you dreaming?
Qi Yixiu shook his head and asked someone to serve the meal.
Shen Chuliu went back in the morning, and Lady Yao came to see her: "Are you feeling better, Madam? I was so scared when I heard that yesterday."
"It's okay, I'm just tired. Everything will be fine after I get a good sleep." Shen Chuliu felt much better now.
"That's good. The Sixth Prince also scared people." Concubine Yao shook her head.
"He'll be here in a minute."
Sure enough, half an hour later, the Sixth Prince arrived.
He tried to walk properly, but his sore leg muscles wouldn't allow him to, so he walked like a little penguin...
Shen Chuliu laughed at him without any hesitation.
The Sixth Prince smiled helplessly, looking at his mother with doting as she became more lively today.
Lady Yao was so envious that she chatted and laughed with him for a while before going back.
Shen Chuliu poked the Sixth Prince's leg; "Do you feel the pain?"
"Oh, mother...am I still your biological child?" The Sixth Prince rolled exaggeratedly on the chair.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "It's okay. If it hurts, take good care of it. Mom didn't even look at it. It's bruised, right? Ask someone to rub it away."
"It's all rubbed out, it's okay, it's just stretched. When my son is well, I'll find another master to teach him. They don't dare to teach properly, for fear of falling. It's abnormal not to fall while riding a horse, right?" The Sixth Prince said cautiously, looking at Shen Chuliu and swallowing his saliva: "Well... Mother, you can't stop me from learning, right?"
Shen Chuliu slapped him in the face: "Am I such a person who would give up eating because of choking?"
The Sixth Prince chuckled: "That can't be possible. You are the best mother."
"Okay, what do you want for lunch? Ask someone to bring it to you. Mother got up too late today and didn't eat much. She's hungry now." Shen Chuliu said.
"Anything is fine, but it must include meat." The Sixth Prince was asked to abstain from food.
Shen Chuliu thought about it and decided that the child did fall, but his skin wasn't broken or anything, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
Just eat meat.
In the afternoon, the Sixth Prince limped back again.
Shen Chuliu had just sent the child away when she saw the emperor sending someone to deliver something.
It was all food, various fruits, and snacks made by the imperial kitchen.
Shen Chuliu smiled and accepted all of them, and rewarded the person who came.
Is it because the emperor feels sorry for her because she fainted yesterday?
The next morning, it began to rain, so the queen sent word that people were not required to pay their respects.
I didn’t expect that the rain would last for half a month.
Occasionally it clears up, but only for a short while, and the rain is not heavy, but it is still drizzling.
It's very annoying.
At the same time, the Second Prince of Southwest also set off.
Before he left, he collected a lot of things. Actually, it was nothing. When the prince went on a tour, it was inevitable that officials would give him gifts.
Most of them are some southwestern specialties or something. As for whether he accepted the things from Marquis Jinchang privately, that is not something that can be made public.
However, before the Second Prince returned to the capital, he submitted another serious memorial, in which he said that the Marquis of Jinchang had worked hard to suppress the bandits, and that the bandits were cunning and it was difficult to clear them all out in one go.
What this means is that it was reasonable for Marquis Jinchang to ask for military rations and military pay before.
Although suppressing bandits is not as difficult as fighting a war, there are too many mountains and hills in the southwest, so there are not enough people to go in and suppress them.
Blocking the route requires manpower and material resources.
The second prince had only walked halfway back to the capital when the memorial had already been delivered to the temporary palace and was in the hands of the emperor.
After reading it, Qi Yixiu handed it to Chu Si: "Take it back to the imperial city and send it to the cabinet. Ask the cabinet officials to take a good look at it. Then ask the officials in the court to take a look at it. If you have any thoughts, feel free to speak freely."
The fourth day of the New Year sighed.
A day later, several cabinet officials looked at each other in bewilderment as they looked at the opened memorial.
Lord Li coughed lightly: "This...Mr. Pei, what do you think?"
Everyone here naturally has a similar status, but Pei Jiancheng is older and has more experience. It's okay for him to speak first.
"Ah, what did Lord Fang say?" Pei Jiancheng asked with a smile again.
"Hey! Let's not speculate on it. If the emperor tells us to look, then we'll look. This... is no more than what we have read in the memorials. Hey, come here and copy the contents of this memorial and show it to each of the gentlemen one by one." Lord Fang said with a smile.
Then he turned back and said, "In the past, all the petitions from the Marquis of Jinchang asking for food and wages were sent to us. Recently, petitions from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and other places have also arrived. How about we take a look at them all?"
His words were very clear. He was reminding everyone what the emperor meant by asking them to read this memorial.
Does that mean to combine the previous and the next? Or does it mean something else?
"This... We know what the emperor is thinking." Pei Jiancheng said with a smile: "Things in the southwest are complicated. Because they are complicated, I asked someone to go and take a look in person. This memorial contains the result of the Second Prince's reading."
After he made this reminder, other officials also understood it.
Yes, this was the Second Prince’s intention. The person the Emperor asked to see was the Second Prince himself.
And the prince has not yet officially entered the court, so this is equivalent to an answer sheet.
In other words, when the second prince enters the court, how we view him will start from now on.
As for the emperor, he didn't say whether he was satisfied or not, he just let everyone see it.
Everyone has not forgotten that during the Dayi Dynasty, there was no crown prince yet.
What the emperor means is a matter of opinion.
Lord Peng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "It has been sixteen years since the Emperor ascended the throne."
Everyone was silent for a while, then they took it over with a smile.
Of course, it has been sixteen years. No matter what, the important matter of establishing a crown prince must be brought up seriously.
Look, this letter from the second prince is probably a signal.
This is the beginning.
You said the prince below is less than ten years old? Hey! You said after ten years old, but no one said that we can't watch him now.
It's time to think about it. It has always been difficult to choose a crown prince.
At the Shen family, after Shen Zhong returned home, he talked with Shen Changjing, the eldest son Shen Qinghe, and the second son Shen Qingyang.
"Do you know everything about what happened today?" Shen Zhong asked his two sons.
