"Ahh

Not far away, the graceful princess suddenly sneezed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Princess, are you alright? ”

"Hurry up and don't catch a cold. ”

The two maids were chattering with concern.

Seeing this, Li Xianyuan took off his long shirt, thought about it, and put it on again.

"What's the matter, sir?" asked Steward Wen, puzzled.

"It's so good for her, what if it sticks to me. Li Xianyuan tightened his shirt.

Steward Wen chuckled, only to think that his new master was really interesting. However, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy has a very old-fashioned mentality.

"Most people try their best to please the princess, but you're afraid that the princess will like you, sir. ”

Li Xianyuan shook his head and smiled lightly: "I have too many romantic debts, so let's have less if I can." And in the coming days, it will turn into loess, leaving sorrow in vain. ”

Steward Wen did not answer. Probably Li Xianyuan was joking.

At noon, Li Xianyuan came to the main hall. The huge round table is full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. The aroma of the dish is overflowing.

Two maids, one on the left and one on the right, served Li Xianyuan in front of the main seat.

"Master, please dine, the villain retreats first. Steward Wen said.

"Steward Wen, stay here. Li Xianyuan said. "It just so happens that I don't know much about Xinjing, so I'll ask you more. ”

“…… But the villain was disrespectful. Steward Wen saluted and sat carefully in a corner.

There are many kinds of dishes, there are twenty or thirty plates, but only Li Xianyuan can enjoy them. Extravagant.

"It's good to keep it simple next time, there's no need to be extravagant. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Li Xianyuan picked up the chopsticks, pulled the sleeve of his right arm with his left hand, and leaned over slightly to clip a piece of braised pork. A layer of oily shine, which can melt in the mouth, soft but not greasy.

"Tell me about Shinkyo. ”

The civil official nodded and asked, "I just don't know what you want to know, master." ”

The two maids knew what was going on, and they retreated obediently, and closed the door before leaving, and the hall was quiet, leaving only Li Xianyuan and the others.

Li Xianyuan took a sip of tea, covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "The matter between the prince and the second prince." ”

Steward Wen seemed to know that Li Xianyuan was going to ask about this, and said: "The emperor is getting older and older, but because of the incident five years ago, his health is deteriorating, and he has to prepare for the establishment of the crown prince and the election of the crown prince as early as possible. The crown prince was ordained by the Holy God at birth and had high hopes. And how old is the little prince, and he also came from behind. He is regarded as the most powerful candidate for the crown prince. ”

Five years ago, there was a fire in the home of Shangshu of the old Criminal Department, and dozens of people in the family died, but only Shangshu's young daughter survived, that is, Situ Yanran.

The strange nature of this case is that even five years later, the cause has not been identified.

There was no dispute between the crown prince and the second prince. It's just that I don't know when, rumors began to circulate that the two secretly fought countless times. And it spread more and more, and soon it spread to the court.

The civil and military officials thought that the emperor would be furious and find out to provoke the two brothers to easily kill the chickens and monkeys. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not react, as if he did not know, he remained the same.

Baiguan is not a fool, and he understands it after a little thought. The emperor deliberately let it go, and let the two brothers compete to see who is more qualified to take the throne.

Some of those who know the eye should take advantage of this time to stand in line. And some alert. I thought it was the emperor's intention to tempt, so I kept silent. In the past few months, the two lines have gradually taken shape, and the emperor has turned a blind eye. The rest of them couldn't sit still anymore and teamed up.

Now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are almost divided between the crown prince and the Chengwang family. There are only a few neutral and die-hard loyalists with the emperor.

I don't know the prince's intentions, but Steward Wen said that King Cheng had no intention of taking the position of the prince, and it was completely instigated by those ministers, and he drove the ducks to the front end. Now the form of the two has just equaled. Although there are many officials in the first line of the prince, there is one of the three princes, Zhou Taishi, in the first line of the second prince.

He didn't hide it, and even told him some hidden private matters, thinking that King Cheng intended to do so.

Steward Wen said: "You have just entered Beijing, so you don't know many people. After a while, you should be in a steady stream of visitors.

"Come to visit me?" Li Xianyuan was surprised.

Liupinhou, a small and small title. Outside, you can sit on an equal footing with the prefect of a prefecture. But if it is placed in the capital, it will be a little stretched.

In other words, every day in the early dynasty, there is no one lower than the fifth grade. The six marquis are not qualified to participate in the early dynasty.

Steward Wen smiled: "My lord, this is arrogant." You make several vision poems, two weather poems. It's even rumored that you've made a ghost poem. And you're only thirteen. Such erudite and knowledgeable naturally have a bright future. Naturally, those officials squeezed their heads to see you, sir. And if you want to come to the prince's side, you won't stop there. ”

"Then I made a list for me, I was unwell after a long journey, and I didn't see anyone for the time being. Li Xianyuan said decisively. He came to the capital for Qincha. He really didn't want to deal with the officials.

"I'm afraid that you can't help yourself, master......" Steward Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Xianyuan bowed. He also knew that he could stay out of the troubled waters when he threw himself into a cloud of troubled waters. You can only dodge as much as you can.

"Master, if you don't want to deal with it, the villain can temporarily push it down for you these days. But four days later, on the Winter Solstice Festival, you'd better go there. ”

The winter solstice is as big as a year. There are clouds in the book: The winter solstice is yang, and the monarch is long.

The common people believe that since the winter solstice, the yang energy of heaven and earth has begun to grow stronger, representing the beginning of the next cycle of heaven and earth, the day of good fortune. Therefore, the common people gather to eat and worship their ancestors. And the princes, nobles, and even the royal family have to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.

Mount Tai is an ideal place of worship. It's a pity that in the state of Chu, the emperor can't go to other countries to worship with the emperor of Chu. Therefore, every year on the twenty-third day of November, the emperor's relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs will go to the Ten Thousand Gardens to worship, the cathode is the same, and the yang energy is born, so go to Wing Chun.

And not only the emperor's relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs, but also the people of Dawn can also go to Wanhuayuan. It's just that their footprints are limited to the outer courtyard of the Ten Thousand Gardens, and the inner courtyard is impossible to set foot in, which is where the emperor and the Manchu civil and military stayed.

"Will King Cheng go that day? Li Xianyuan asked.

"Naturally. Steward Wen said.

"King Cheng wants me to go that day?"

"Of course. ”

Li Xianyuan bowed. In that case, why not go for it. And King Cheng is like this, most likely he wants to introduce himself in front of the emperor.

After lunch, Li Xianyuan put on a thick shirt and wandered around the courtyard.

The housekeeper is fast. Li Xianyuan said in the morning that at this time, in the afternoon, he saw that the flowers and plants in the garden were pulled out and replaced with native plants. The dead branches echo the snow cover of the eaves in the distance.

The three days passed in a hurry, and there were many people who came to visit, but they were all stopped by Steward Wen. They recognized that Steward Wen was from King Cheng's mansion, so they didn't dare to make a mistake. And those prayer posts were presented to Li Xianyuan by the Wen steward.

Counselor of the General Administration Department, Cabinet Attendant, Guozijian Division, according to the experience of the Judge, Taihang Temple. If you look closely, you can distinguish that they are all factions of King Cheng. There are very few people who are princes. Speaking of which, it is impossible for him not to know that Li Xianyuan came to Beijing, but he has not moved until now, and he is quite calm. (To be continued.) )
