Chapter 177: Stone Trench Village
Zhu Zhanji seemed to be walking in the mud, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was extremely difficult to even lift his legs. If anyone saw his eyes at this time, they would be startled, because these eyes were full of red bloodshots, revealing a hideous fierce light.
"His Royal Highness Taisun!" someone in front of and behind him actually called him.
Zhu Zhan basically straightened his waist, but he saw that the people in front of him were eunuchs and palace maids who were running towards him, and they were probably coming over to support himβand the person behind him was Yang Rong, a scholar who followed him out of the main hall.
Zhu Zhanji drank away from the eunuch, and turned his head to retract his expression: "Bachelor Yang, what's the matter? Is there still something to be ordered by the imperial grandfather, do you want me to go again?"
"No," Yang Rong's gaze circled the face of the grandson, and said, "The minister is required to copy a copy of the emperor's will and send it to Wenyuan Pavilion." β
"Will," Zhu Zhanji was really distracted by the yellow paper in his hand: "It's that ......"
"It is the decree of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, preparing to let His Highness come to the court to observe the government," Yang Rong said: "There is another copy, it is to prepare for the selection of beautiful girls, and the edict to the Shandong Divisions to cooperate with the visit of the beautiful women - His Royal Highness can also take a look." β
Zhu Zhanji said: "Can I see it?"
"Of course," Yang Rong handed over the holy decree to Taisun, "This is not a confidential document, and soon everyone in the world will know about it." β
Zhu Zhanji was naturally happy when he saw the first will, but the second one made him look gloomy, and even when Yang Rong looked at it carefully, he could see the disgust he had hidden very hard.
Zhu Zhanji handed over the will to Yang Shiqi, and his heart suddenly moved: "Master Yang, the first time I came to the court, I don't know anything, I'm afraid that there are still many things, and I want to trouble the bachelor to teach me." β
"Don't worry about the grandson, you have the emperor to escort you," Yang Rong said humbly: "The minister did his best at that time to share the worries of the grandson, that is, to share the worries of the emperor." β
I'm afraid that among so many people in the main hall just now, only Yang Rong saw the situation and the emperor's mind clearly. He did not want the prince to think that the East Palace would be safe from now on, nor did he want the king of Han to have more and more restless ambitions, and at the same time provided a third option for those who refused to belong to either side.
Judging from a period of time, the grandson and the crown prince are one, and they will deal with the king of Han together - the king of Han seems to be stealing chickens and rice in this succession, which makes Yang Rong feel a trace of remorse for his previous choice. But now he soon had a solution.
"Your Highness," the eunuch Jin Ying walked over, "Niangniang asked you to come over." β
Zhu Zhanji silently patted the dust on his trouser legs, turned his head and walked in the direction of the East Palace.
"Are you saying that you plan to ask Sister Yu to be your concubine?" Zhang Zhaohua said: "This is your plan?
"The imperial grandfather insisted on choosing another concubine," Zhu Zhanji said: "The child is desperate to no avail, and he is at a loss." β
"I don't believe it. Zhang Zhaohua looked at him and said: "I know exactly what kind of character you have since you were a child, the more you don't want to touch something, the more you want to touch it in every possible way, and you will always make you fulfill your wish." There must be a reason why you don't fight with your imperial grandfather this time. β
Zhu Zhanji is like this, Zhang Zhaohua is right, he didn't let him go to the battlefield, he wanted to go, and he couldn't go to the battlefield in Mobei, so he went to Shandong to be majestic. When he was a child, his grandmother held him in her arms and didn't let him run outside, frightened by the sound of cannonballs, and as a result, he finally ran out of the house at dawn all night.
There is a sentence that is absolutely true, the nature of the country is easy to change, and Zhang Zhaohua feels that even if he is beaten, he may not really change his character.
Zhu Zhanji swallowed his saliva, and said that he was going to go to the court to watch the government. said that Zhang Zhaohua knew the person who crawled out of his stomach, and Zhu Zhanji also knew about his mother, who had been afraid since he was a child. He felt that this time, his mother could understand him, after all, the two did not need to be weighed at all.
But this time he was wrong.
"You also know that the two don't need to be measured," Zhang Zhaohua said in disbelief: "Don't your imperial grandfather know? No matter who the princess is, you will come to the court to watch the government, and you didn't give up one to achieve the other, he gave you the choice because it was your choice." β
"You're scared, so you're not doing your best. You think it's the only option, so you don't dare to resist. Zhang Zhaohua said: "Have you really tried every means to convince your imperial grandfather? If you say that the wife in your grandson's mind should not only respect each other with your grandson, but also be your grandson's confidant, I know her, she knows me, give birth to a coffin, and die a coffin." The grandson wants to live a hot life, but he doesn't want to live a life that is just respectful but not intimate. The people selected by the emperor's grandfather for his grandson must be good in everything, but if she is good, the grandson may be indifferent. Born in the heavenly family, it is difficult to have the joy of ordinary people, but the grandson still has a little luck, and wants to learn to be a husband and wife in the stone trench village, not the imperial concubine in the palace of eternal life. The emperor's grandfather has too many achievements in bamboo silk for half his life, and it is difficult for his grandchildren to catch up. But the only thing that Sun Er envies is the relationship between you and Empress Renxiao, and the imperial grandfather has found a person who is respected and loved deeply, so he has come over without regrets. The grandson also doesn't want to leave regrets for the woman he loves. If you say that, will the emperor really not hesitate or waver at all?"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "I guess you wouldn't say that, and you wouldn't think of saying that." You probably just listed Sister Yu'er's goodness to prove how she suited the position of the princess, just like a child trying to prove how interesting his toys are, you are still a child, and your imperial grandfather will never consider your thoughts, it has nothing to do with whether you will have power or not. β
Looking at Zhu Zhanji, whose eyes widened as if he had lost his soul, Zhang Zhaohua said: "Now that you haven't fulfilled your promise, you will always feel guilty when you face Sister Yu." And you will always be full of hatred in the face of the future princess, because she will remind you how you made a choice against your will under oppression today, and if you don't dare to complain about the emperor, you can only blame her. As for Sister Yu'er, you tell her every year that the princess is her, and there will be no one else, and suddenly one day that position belongs to someone else, what does she think in her heart? She was supposed to be your virtuous helper, shoulder to shoulder with you, but now she wants her to prostrate at the feet of another woman who can't compare to her in everything, to be a canary, to be a woman who invites pets, and she doesn't dare to say anything virtuous, because words like virtuous belong to the princess. She was a little overstepping, and I don't know how many gossips there were, saying that she was dissatisfied with the princess. If you snub your wife, others will blame her, saying that she instigated you and made you cold to your wife. She has deficiencies in her heart, and you also have deficiencies in your heart, which is the hidden danger of your future married life. How did you let the future concubine deal with herself, and what did she do wrong, you were forced to marry her by holy order, and poured out the anger and shame caused by your dare not fight on her, thinking that she hindered your love, and blamed all the misfortunes on this person who did nothing wrong?"
Zhang Zhaohua knew that Zhu Zhanji had a little resentment, and resented her for not telling him all this earlier, but Zhang Zhaohua was also very disappointed, it seemed that the previous beating just made him realize the importance of power and disguise, and nothing else had grown.
"You remember," Zhang Zhaohua looked at him deeply, "everything is your own choice." β
Waiting for Zhu Zhanji to staggered away, Sister Yu came over from behind the screen, fell on Zhang Zhaohua's lap and cried loudly.
"Good boy," Zhang Zhaohua stroked the gorse hairpin on her head, and said, "The emperor's precious grandson, he has soaked him in the honey pot, and he has not been ruthless until now." I also treasure you, but I taught you to see the world early, but you still don't know many things, do you really know what kind of character Taisun has?"
Seeing that Sister Yu'er's eyes were swollen like nectarines, she showed a confused look. Zhang Zhaohua said: "Not long after he was born, he encountered a martyrdom, the emperor and the queen did not have time to get close to him, and they were afraid that the battle would be fruitless, so they refused to get close to him, and they were afraid that he would grow up and remember, because at that time, they would quietly send him away after they planned to do bad things, and they always left their roots." β
"But then the situation improved," Zhang Zhaohua said: "The emperor and queen love him even more, and he is really clever, which makes the emperor look heavier than his eyeballs." For a child, too much doting has developed such an arrogant temperament. You know that he has only been under my knees for about four years, and then I can't intervene to discipline him, anyway, what do I say, the next day the emperor deliberately came in reverse, and I don't necessarily have to be a strict mother with a straight face, but if I don't do this, he has no scruples, and the emperor can't be a good person...... The more I scolded him, the more the emperor cherished him, and I had selfish intentions...... After the emperor made the dragon chair, he was the same kind to other children and grandchildren, but to Gao Chi, he gradually lost his kindness, but became more and more mean. Because the imperial power will naturally inflict harm on those closest to it, but the grandson is still far away, the emperor favors the grandson, the grandson is the son of the prince, no matter how much the emperor reprimands the East Palace, the throne is stable. β
"But the grandson's temperament can no longer be resisted," Zhang Zhaohua said: "I have never experienced wind and waves and blows before, proud and arrogant, like a beautiful porcelain, looking hard, it will break when it falls." If someone escorts him for the rest of his life, he may be able to remain arrogant, but as soon as the emperor lets go a little, he is vulnerable. But he still has a big heart, and he always jumps off the table to see what is on the ground, and when we see it, we press him back to his place, but there is always a time when we can't see him, so what should we do? Do you really sit back and watch him fall to pieces?"
