Chapter 236: This hat is really green (page 12)
Time flies.
Yuan Xi is now a centenarian. His body is still strong, his ears and eyes are sharp, he can cook three bowls of rice at a time, and he walks as fast as flying.
However, he fell in love with crutches and wheelchairs. He often pretended to be wearing a crutch, and when he was too lazy to walk, he would be pushed in a wheelchair.
As the ancestor of the royal family, everyone senior and older than him has passed away. Yuan Xi, a living ancestor, naturally has a transcendent status.
The emperor now sitting on the dragon throne still calls him uncle.
After the death of Emperor Liang, he was given the posthumous title of Emperor Liang Jing.
In his later years, Emperor Liang took the initiative to abdicate the throne and give up the throne to the prince, thus smoothly handing over power.
The prince's position was stable, and Emperor Liang took the initiative to abdicate. Several ambitious princes also restrained their thoughts and assisted the prince honestly.
After the prince succeeded to the throne, he also had a good attitude toward these brothers who knew current affairs. However, it was different from his biological father's reign. The other princes had restrained their behavior a bit and began to live a life under their brothers.
Except for Yuan Xi, everyone is still wandering around the world as before. However, he was not a person without winks, and asked someone to return the token given to him by Emperor Liang to enter and exit the palace at any time.
In the end, the prince didn't take it back, so he had it sent back to Prince Ding's palace. Yuan Xi didn't know what he meant, but he just kept it.
The prince had mixed feelings about this younger brother. It was undeniable that he was somewhat envious of Yuan Xi's life.
Especially when I have to stay up late and work overtime every time to deal with government affairs, and I have to go to court the next day. As a result, from time to time, I received souvenirs from Yuanxi's travels, which made my heart bubbling with sourness.
What he did was to double enslave his other brothers and let them stay up late and work overtime with him, which gave him a lot of balance in his mind.
In his later years, he began to care about Yuan Xi's adopted children. This was a task assigned to him by his father, and he did not want to be unable to fulfill his duties underground after his death.
Yuan Xi estimated how long he could live, and bluntly said that he still didn’t know who would die for whom after the adoption. Let him leave this matter to his son.
When the prince heard this, he felt that Twelve's words made sense. He couldn't convince Twelve anyway, so he handed the matter over to his son, the next emperor.
Influenced by Emperor Liang, the prince also abdicated in his later years, smoothly handing over power to the next emperor.
Before his death, he left a secret edict to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi was full of questions when he received it.
The content of this secret edict was basically the same as one of the two secret edicts given to him by Emperor Liang. It probably meant that if future generations of emperors did not do well and became weak and tyrannical, Yuan Xi had the right to replace the emperor and help the country.
Yuan Xi seriously suspected that the two men had discussed it in private.
After the death of the prince, he was given the posthumous title of Emperor Liang Ming.
Yuan Xi's nephew came to power and became the new Emperor of Liang.
This nephew is full of martial virtue. It just so happened that the previous emperors had laid the foundation and the country was strong and prosperous.
After a few years in power, the eldest nephew couldn't help but expand his territory and even went on a personal expedition.
Yuan Xi watched this nephew with two brushes successfully expand Liang Guo by one-third. After the battle, Liang Guo began to recuperate.
Perhaps because he was injured too much on the battlefield, this eldest nephew was a bit short-lived and did not reign as long as his father, let alone compared with Emperor Liang.
After the death of his eldest nephew, he was given the posthumous title of Emperor Wu of Liang.
Yuan Xi lamented that his eldest nephew died young, and he did not forget to tell himself about the inheritance before he died. But the candidate hasn't been chosen yet, and the eldest nephew is the one. Before he died, he was still holding Yuan Xi's hand, "Uncle Twelve, you must adopt one, or I will die in peace."
This is a bit embarrassing. In order to prevent his eldest nephew from dying in peace, Yuan Xi decided to adopt one. Then he asked his subordinates to inquire secretly and choose one he was satisfied with.
To be honest, with Yuan Xi's conditions, many people want to recognize him as their father. But Yuan Xi is not in a hurry to recognize his son. He can still live anyway, so he can choose slowly.
On this day, Yuan Xi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed for a walk in the garden to bask in the sun.
A servant hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, the Minister of War, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Hubu, and the Marquis of Jian'an would like to see you."
Yuan Xi, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall and bring them here."
"promise."
The servants retreated and brought the people over.
Yuan Xi spotted the pavilion by the small lake in the garden and pointed there, "Double Happiness, go over there."
"promise."
I saw a man named Shuangxi, who was in his forties or fifties, using his internal strength to push the wheelchair smoothly.
This double happiness is not that double happiness.
The original Shuangxi has passed away, and the current Shuangxi is the second Shuangxi.
People like Sanxi, Sixi and others also passed away one after another, and the name was inherited by newcomers.
He is a newly appointed martial arts eunuch from the palace.
Under Yuan Xi's cultivation, four of the twenty people in this group were more talented and became masters in their fifties.
Among them, Shuangxi and Wufu stayed with Yuanxi, while the other two arranged to work outside.
main hall.
The Marquis of Guangyang and the Marquis of Jian'an were sitting uneasily, but the three ministers were able to sit still, and the oldest minister of the Ministry of Rites was calm and composed.
Marquis Jian'an was impatient and couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked around in circles, looking at the door from time to time.
"Okay, sit down and take a rest, I'm dizzy from spinning."
The Minister of Rites covered his forehead and asked Marquis Jian'an to sit down.
"Master Chai, I'm worried." Marquis Jian'an was almost scratching his head. "Master Chai, this matter is very important. Can Prince Ding really persuade His Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites said seriously: "If even Prince Ding cannot persuade His Majesty, no one else in the world can do it."
The Minister of War said with emotion, "You are still young and grew up in the north. It is normal that you have never heard of Prince Ding's reputation. Not to mention you, even the younger generation in the court now, not many understand it. It’s about the prince’s affairs.”
Marquis Jian'an immediately sat back and approached the Minister of War, "Master Yan, please elaborate."
The Minister of War's eyes signaled Marquis Jian'an to ask the Minister of Rites, "He knows the most, ask him."
Marquis Jian'an remembered that it was the Minister of Rites' idea to find Prince Ding, and he suddenly looked at him with bright eyes.
The Minister of Etiquette recounted with a look of reminiscence: "During the reign of Emperor Liang Jing, Prince Ding took the lead in establishing a charity home to raise orphans, elderly people and orphans without fathers and mothers. At that time, the national treasury was not rich and could not provide money. The prince spent his own money and radiated outwards from the capital. The number of beggars on the streets has been reduced by more than half. The people at that time could not praise the prince for his kindness. Nowadays, charity homes are all over the Liang Kingdom because of the foundation he laid back then."
"It turns out that the charity home was opened by Prince Ding. Is Prince Ding so rich?"
"Liu Li Pavilion belongs to Prince Ding. Do you think he has any money? Prince Ding donated one-tenth of the food and grass that the late Emperor used for the war. The soldiers who fought in the war did not freeze to death in winter. They must also thank Prince Ding for the cotton clothes he donated."
Marquis Jian'an scratched his head. He really didn't know about this, "Why haven't I heard of it?"
"He is a low-key man and doesn't care about his reputation."
The Minister of Rites took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Prince Ding is easy-going, but decisive in killing. When he provided money to build a charity home, several officials were bold enough to reach out for the money. According to people who saw it with their own eyes, It is said that the ground at the execution ground was dyed red at that time. After the charity home was expanded, Prince Ding and his old man liked to play around again. From time to time, they would conduct secret inspections and kill batches of corrupt officials. During the reign of Emperor Liang Jing, no one dared to go to court. Charity house reaches out.”
