Since the funeral, the entire Ji family has fallen silent, and because of the filial piety on the body, the 25th is the saint's birthday, and he has also been punished, and he has been spared the collision of entering the palace and receiving the banquet.

The saint has a rare birthday, and this year's rebellion has been pacified, and he is naturally overjoyed, the only fly in the ointment is that the fifth prince Ze under the knee of Concubine Xian is sick. Even at the dinner, he only attended for a moment, and was hurriedly taken down by the grandmother, and the imperial doctor was passed on again that night, which inevitably cast a shadow on the saint's joyful mood.

On September 27, the day of the first day after the Wanshou Festival, Ji Rin ordered the housekeeper to hand the Ding Worry fold to the military department early in the morning, and prepared to wait for the Jinju Racecourse to understand the matter and then return to his hometown, and return to Jinju to close the door and keep the filial piety of the 27th month.

And on this day, there was also good news. After the death of Ji Can, Xu's heart was sad, and he was sick and crooked in the past few days, although Liang was widowed, she has always been soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, while taking care of many matters in the capital to prepare for returning to her hometown, and on the other hand, she stayed by the side of Xu, who lost her son and became more and more lonely after her illness.

Xu did not put on a mother-in-law's pedigree in this eldest daughter-in-law in the early years, and now her temperament is becoming more and more stubborn, and every meal must require Liang's to stand aside, and Liang's is a selfless character, so he naturally refuses to let go of these moths easily, and the subordinates next to him are inevitably instigated in front of Xu because of Liang's entire inner house, although Ji Rin feels sorry for his mother, but they are juniors in this matter and really have no way to put their beaks.

Pingling Yu saw that he was originally because of his filial piety, and he lived in the courtyard where Ji Can lived before his death, and he was getting thinner and thinner, and the outline of his face became clearer, and now he was worried about his mother, and there was no flesh on his face, so he hinted at Mama Xin a few words, and only said that he had a headache and asked the imperial doctor to come to the door to diagnose and treat one or two, then the imperial doctor was not familiar with each other, and it was okay for these imperial doctors to go in and out of the palace all the year round and also knew the rich and noble people's diseases.

Who would have thought that this request for pulse would diagnose that Liang had been pregnant for more than a month, but she is now thirty-nine years old, everyone is happy and can't help but worry at the same time, only this child is also Ji Can's posthumous son, even if Xu looks at Liang again, he can only be happy at this time.

And this Ji Rin took over all the things in the inner house, he was no softer than the Liang family, and he often understood the truth of not being in charge of the army more in the army, but for a while, all those who made mistakes were dealt with one by one according to the size of the crime: the light one was driven to the Zhuangzi, and the one who was heavily responsible was poured down with a bowl of dumb medicine to find someone and sold it directly, these many servants originally relied on Xu's companion room to make trouble to Xu's side, Ji Rin only said lightly, "These servants are careless, otherwise how could my father fall off the horse?"

Xu has been separated from her son for so many years, but her love for her son is true, as soon as she heard Ji Rin say this, she was full of anger and went towards these slaves, even Mama Zhuang, who she relied on in the past, also gave a faceless.

After this purge, the people in Ji's house became more and more empty, and those who were left were honest or smart and capable, Ji Rin pointed to Mama Xin and the big girl next to the Xu family to deal with daily trivial matters together, and he went back to the outer courtyard, together with Pingling Yu, together with Ji Can and Ji Yan, to sort out the affairs of Jinju Racecourse again.

In addition, Ji Rin was in charge of the Ji family at the beginning, in addition to the forces on the bright side, there are also hidden in the shadows, and it is indispensable to recruit people to meet.

Every head of the Ji family is not said to be a bright and upright generation, there are few narrow-minded and vicious, so many years in charge of Jinzhou in addition to their own power in the military camp, more is the ancestors left a private army named Xuanyi, this army is only a few thousand, all of them are good hands with one enemy and hundred, wandering around the frontier of Eastern Qin and Northern Wei all the year round, to exterminate bandits and small groups of soldiers of Northern Wei for a living.

Ji Rin only knew about the existence of this private army before, but in more detail he learned from Ke Lao that it was the Jinzhou Horse Farm that they went to investigate before, and it was precisely because he knew their ability that he heard that more than a dozen people were trapped in Dingbei Town, and Ji Can had the idea of wanting to go to investigate in person.

Now the leader of this private army has received the news of Ji Canxue's death and is bringing people over to meet the new lord.

On the first day of October, it was the first day of the great court meeting after the saint's long life, and Ji Yan knew that someone would definitely write a letter of impeachment against the Jinju Racecourse at this court meeting, and these people would never let their subordinates show affection because of the death of their brother, and they must be thinking about how to bite off a piece of meat from the Ji family. Fortunately, Pingling Yu had made arrangements before, Ji Yan knew it in his heart, and naturally he was calm, but in the end he had a deep brotherhood with his brother, and now his expression still showed grief.

As expected, there was a royal history in a moment, impeaching Ji Yan for stabbing history and state pastor, holding great power to neglect the rule, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of horses in Jinju Horse Farm.

At that time, there were many people who were the least inferior to the deceased, and this imperial history only provoked a frown at many ministers, that is, the sage also had a disgust in his heart, and he would issue a holy decree to praise Ji Yan, and today someone wrote a book to abolish Ji Yan's reward, but he has always been very tolerant to the Hanmenzi, so he just stayed in the middle and did not send it, saying that the next day the court will discuss again.

At one time, Xia Qian, a member of the Ministry of Rites, came out to ask the sage to set up the prince and set the country's foundation, and recommended the establishment of the four princes Yan as the East Palace, and Chen Tiao discussed: one is the queen's adopted son, whose status is precious; the second is the prince's early wisdom, and all the ministers in the imperial study praise him; the third is the country's reliance on the long monarch, and the prince's physique is stronger than the prince's Ze.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the government and the opposition, but they put the previous Jinzhou Racecourse incident behind them, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials and the establishment of the prince expressed their opinions one after another, only arguing about whether to establish the fourth prince Ziyan or the fifth prince Ze.

The sage was so dizzy that he was noisy when he boarded the board, and when he took a closer look, most of the people who bluntly said that the emperor was born in a family, headed by the military department and the Ministry of Rites, and most of the officials were born in families and Huaishan Academy; he bluntly said that the emperor Zize was headed by the imperial history platform and the ministry of officials, and most of the officials were born in Qingliu and poor families; the officials headed by the ministry were mostly from noble backgrounds and quite sleek, and some said that the emperor was born and some said that the emperor was not very firm; and the rest of the officials headed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household said that only the sage was the first to look forward.

The sage also knew that he was now living a lot of life, and seeing that Ji Yan, who was four or five years younger than him, had passed away recently, he might go to see the first emperor that day, and the matter of establishing a prince was imminent.

Only the saint has always been soft-tempered, and after listening to it for a while, he felt that what the Ministry of Soldiers and the Ministry of Rites said was right, and he felt that Ayan should be established for a while, and he felt that Aze should be established for a while, but Aze was not in good health, and it was true that Concubine Xian cried for this.

The sage thought to himself that it was difficult to settle down, and then thought that he didn't know if there was still Ling Yun, this nephew who grew up with him could be said to be the person he trusted the most, and Ling Yun was now old enough to share his worries, and he was happy for a while, but he also felt that all the troubles were gone, and he motioned for Liu Quan to retreat from the court, and sure enough, he ordered most of Zhang Wen to go outside the palace to spread Zhou Jian to enter the palace.

Since the saint ascended the throne, the pilgrimage has been held on the first and fifteenth days of each month.

Since the last time there will be a courtier on the sage to establish the prince, and the officials in Chang'an City in the second half of the month heard the wind, today this held a flower appreciation banquet, tomorrow that line the poetry society...... There are only unexpected reasons, there is no banquet that cannot be held, and now they are all thinking about planning before the prince settles down, in order to achieve the dragon's work.

Because of the Ji family's filial piety, even though there were many posts handed to the Shen family, she also took the opportunity to avoid them.

The ancestral training of the family has always only recognized saints, and the children of the Ji family are really talented, that is, although the past dynasties are not as simple as the emperor's heart, but it is true that they hold the power of one side, so they don't care very much.

"I don't know what Qingzhou thinks?" said that it was filial piety, Ji Rin was really as said in the "Book of Rites", the grass house where he lived was not painted with mud to block the wind, he slept on a straw mat, his pillow was made of pillows, he wore coarse linen mourning clothes, and his diet was only cold porridge, and there was no meat.

"Whether it is the fourth prince or the fifth prince who ascends the throne in the future, they will not be able to get rid of the rebellion of their relatives. Pingling Yu was worried about his body for a while, so he handed over the only set of knife techniques left in the system to Ji Rin, who took a daily medicinal bath, supplemented by medicinal food, although he still didn't get rid of meat and didn't keep losing meat like before, "Only Yuan Zhao is filial piety, why don't you get together with Ling Yun." ”

"Although Ling Yun is the commander of the forbidden army, he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Xiao Langjun now, and it was the saint who crowned him in advance, how could he be consulted in such a matter related to the country?" Ji Rin frowned.

"Yuan Zhaoke still remembers what Yu Zhi said in Shuangqiao Village in Shuzhong that day?" Pingling Yu let Han Zheng and Jiang Xiu go to Chang'an to visit the craftsman who could make a lance in his spare days, but he himself came to the Yuanbo Courtyard to accompany Ji Rin.

What Qingzhou said was deafening, and Rin didn't dare to forget. Ji Rin said.

"Dare to ask if the will of the lord has not changed?" Pingling Yu did not come empty-handed, with an ink-colored official kiln bamboo cat pattern teapot and two ink-color official kiln bamboo finch pattern teacups, and the teapot was brewed with the last bit of tea he brought from Shuzhou to concoct by hand.

"I don't change. Ji Rin made a loud noise.

"That being the case, it only depends on who Yuan Zhao wishes to occupy the position of the Son of Heaven. Pingling Yu poured tea and smiled.

"Why did Qingzhou say this?" Ji Rin took the teacup in the posture of protecting the cup with three fingers.

"Yuan Zhao should know when he reads "Spring and Autumn" that Duke Qi Huan coerced Zhou Tianzi to order the princes of the world to follow his example. Pingling Yu picked up the teacup and drank a cup, smiling slightly, "Since ancient times, there have been Yao Zen and Shun, Shun Zen is located in Yu, Yu will be passed down for a hundred generations, and Yuan Zhao can also do it." ”
