Ning Zhang Zhaohua slowly walked all the way to Kunning Palace, brushed the dust of Queen Xu's Zigong Palace parked in the main hall, and then lit incense, and sat silently until the incense burned out, then quietly withdrew and walked in the direction of Yongning Palace.

In Yongning Palace, there is a Concubine Wang Jing, who was born in the five-year general election of Yongle, because Queen Xu likes her gentleness and virtuousness, and when she was a show girl, she often called her to accompany her, so she was the highest title in that session.

"Concubine Jingniang. Zhang Zhaohua made a family salute.

Concubine Wang Jing hurriedly pulled her up and let her sit beside her: "Don't be formal, sit down, princess." ”

Zhang Zhaohua was not formal, her feelings for Concubine Wang Jing were cordial, and Empress Xu chose a very good person to let her accompany the emperor.

Zhang Zhaohua was sitting and thinking about what to say, when he suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant voice - "chirp" for a while, "tudu tu" for a while, and then it became "koukou koukou" and "ding-kouqu, ding-kouqu".

"The crickets sent by His Royal Highness King Zhao," Wang Jingfei asked someone to bring the bamboo tube over to see, two black and oily crickets crouched inside, although it was a male and a female, but obviously this male was not a good temper, and actually drove the other female cricket to the outermost side of the bamboo tube, she reached out and gently brushed the male to the side: "It is said that the sound can hear winter." ”

"After the winter, the spirit is gone, this should be the cricket he defeated. Zhang Zhaohua said: "You see that it has been jumping, it looks like it has been on the battlefield." ”

King Zhao ingeniously gave crickets to every concubine in the palace, Zhaoyi Jieyu and beauties, and almost everyone returned the gift, but the gifts were light and heavy, such as Wang Jingfei returned two incense burners and a pair of incense balls, and Kang Zhaoyi returned a bucket of pearls, which is said to be a pearl in the East China Sea, and the emperor gave her a new gift.

Kang Zhaoyi is Kang Huan, in the end, she was selected, but her status is not high, and several grandmothers privately said that they thought she would be a concubine.

"What about Brother Shou," Wang Jingfei asked, "didn't you bring him here?"

"He just fell asleep again," Zhang Zhaohua said, "I didn't bring it." ”

Shou Ge'er is Zhang Zhaohua's second child, this child's face, can finally see Gao Chi and her own shadows, but he is lazy, very slow to react, when he was in swaddling clothes, the rattle shook above his head for a long time, and he didn't see him reach out to touch it, always in a daze, this appearance is in stark contrast to Gao Xu's second son An Ge'er, because Li's born An Ge'er is very happy.

The palace people brought a few kinds of food, and there were piles of soufflés like a mountain on the newly burned colorful plates, and Wang Jingfei said: "I am from Suzhou, and I have never eaten this soufflé before, and I have to add almonds to drink it." When I arrived in the palace, I learned that a lot of food was made by **, they did it well, there was no smell, and I can eat it now. ”

"Beidi was affected by Jin Yuan, and he drank a lot of goat milk and milk," Zhang Zhaohua said: "**The taste is also good, it is not as good as mutton, and these sheep are also specially transported from Tongzhou, and they are milk-producing sheep." ”

Concubine Wang Jingfei tried her best to adapt to the life of the court, but her Jiangnan people's preferences would not be erased - because among the rest of the plates, there were dried plums, dried apricots, golden silk dates, ginger sugar slices, eight treasured plums, licorice, caramel kumquats, and nine-made tangerine peel, Zhang Zhaohua looked at it and sighed.

Concubine Wang Jing knew why she was in a bad mood, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have started to act in moderation when it came to eating.

This originated from the Xiaoxiang of the Empress Renxiao, the prince Gao Chi inadvertently fell, but the emperor seemed to be very unhappy, feeling that he had lost his manners, somehow, he had never said that Gao Chi was fat before, but this time the emperor pointed at the prince and scolded him, saying that he couldn't ride and shoot, and the rabbit mountain parade was also like an ornament, making him reflect on why he was so fat - this question is quite mindless, Gao Chi has always been fat, he does not have a diet problem, he has always eaten light, fat and greasy do not eat, but can not be reduced.

But because the emperor expressed his dissatisfaction so clearly, Gao Chi could only tighten his belt and eat less. In the morning, Zhang Zhaohua saw him staring at a small steamed bun with jujube paste for a while, but he still didn't stretch out his chopsticks.

He didn't eat well, Zhang Zhaohua also looked uncomfortable, and asked him to go out for a run, but after a while, he was so hungry that he was sweating, sitting in the Wenhua Palace, and was actually helped out for the first time.

Zhang Zhaohua said: "My father wants the prince to lose weight and change his appearance overnight, but it is impossible." ”

"The emperor is deeply in love and more responsible," Concubine Wang Jing couldn't help but say: "I hope that the prince is perfect in all aspects, and the hearts of parents in the world are worthy of understanding." ”

Zhang Zhaohua felt a little better, she could only say some things to Concubine Wang Jing, there used to be Wei's, but now she doesn't live in one place, and because of the undercurrent of seizing the heirs in the court, she can no longer laugh and laugh as usual.

Especially recently, the emperor gave Tian Cewei to Gao Xu, although Gao Xu asked for it himself, but the emperor finally gave it, which in itself speaks for itself.

When Taizu went down to Jiqing Road as the king of Wu, he dismissed the marshal of the Zhuyi Unified Army, and placed Wude, Longxiang, Leopard Tao, Feixiong, Weiwu, Guangwu, Xingwu, Yingwu, Yingyang, Xiaoqi, Shenwu, Xiongwu, Fengxiang, Tiance, Zhenwu, Xuanwu, and Yulin Seventeen Wei pro-army fingers

Wave the Division.

Tian Ce Wei is the guard of the former military governor's mansion, it is the direct army of the guard, it is the emperor's attendant army, there are 17,000 troops, all of them are elite soldiers, plus Gao Xu as the two guards of the Han King himself, he should have 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, this is enough, the main reason is the name "Tiance", which is called Zhang Zhaohua's suspicion.

In the fourth year of Tang Wude, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, broke the two major separatist forces of Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, and Wang Shichong, the king of Zheng, in the battle of the Tiger Prison, and captured the two to the capital Chang'an, unifying northern China for the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan thought that Li Shimin had been ranked as the king of Qin, the prince and the secretary of Shangshu, and there was no seal, and the existing official position could not show his glory, so he specially named him the general of Tiance and placed him in the Tiance Mansion. The Tiance Mansion is the head of the military attaché government, above the Fourteenth Wei Mansion, and the Tiance general can recruit talents as officials in the Tiance Mansion on his own, that is, the so-called "Xu Zizhi official subordinates".

The position of Admiral Tiance is an important bargaining chip for Li Shimin to wrestle with the crown prince Li Jiancheng, especially the power of his own official subordinates gives him a lot of convenience in recruiting talents, for example, he once recruited Du Yan to Tiance Mansion at the suggestion of Fang Xuanling, so as not to throw him into the camp of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

This made Zhang Zhaohua have to be vigilant and frightened, Gao Xu wanted to be pro-army, the seventeenth route soldiers and horses were at his disposal, he chose this Tiance army with deep meaning, this is just like what he has always been, what he wants, he has always fought brightly.
