Chapter 58: The Full Moon

"Wei Yiyi." Yao Yanyu leaned on the bed, read the name softly, and couldn't help laughing: "It sounds like 'the only one'." ”

Wei Zhang put his arm around her shoulders, lowered his head and touched the corner of her forehead with his forehead, and whispered, "Well, you are my only one." ”

"This is my daughter's name!" looked at Wei Zhang funny, "Who are you talking sweetly about?" ”

General Wei has never liked these biting things, so he said as a matter of course: "You gave birth to my daughter." ”

Yao Yanyu smiled, raised her hand and handed her daughter who was already asleep in her arms to Wei Zhang: "Carry her to sleep in the cradle." ”

Wei Zhang took it and turned around and put the child in the small cradle next to the bed, then turned around and pulled Yao Yanyu into his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed the blood-stained tooth marks on her lips, and asked distressedly, "Does it still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Yao Yanyu chuckled and shook her head, in fact, she has always been delicate and fatal, and her pain nerves are also very sensitive, and it takes a long time to rub a little skin on her hand. But after giving birth, she suddenly found that the general pain seemed to be inextricably felt to her.

However, Wei Zhang did not realize this transformation of her, in his heart she was still that delicate woman, and she couldn't stand the slightest pain. Moreover, the mouth is bitten and bleeding, how can it not hurt?

"You've worked hard." Wei Zhang continued to kiss her cheeks and earlobes, and asked in a low voice for a while, "Does it still hurt there?" ”

After Yao Yanyu was stunned, Fang reflected where he was asking. Because he couldn't bear the pain of tearing, he had already explained to Cuiwei and Cuiping about the side cut. At that time, when she was born, her bones were completely open, but because she had been in pain for too long, her heart was haggard, and she no longer had the strength to rain. So Cuiwei and Cuiping complied with her and gave her a side cut and midwifery.

Later, when the wound was stitched, the effect of needle numbing was not good, and Yao Yanyu was in great pain, so she bit her lip. Later, he fell asleep because of exhaustion, and he didn't see the scene when Wei Zhang came in a hurry.

She didn't know how he knew that he had been stabbed, but of course that wasn't the point. The point is, how could the wound be shown to him? So I refused without hesitation.

"I can't read it yet?" Wei Zhang asked in a low voice.

"What's there to see?" Yao Yanyu blushed and shook her head.

"I just want to know how you hurt." Wei Zhang's hand slowly touched down.

"But I don't want you to see it." Yao Yanyu grabbed his hand, and her voice became lower and lower.

"Why are you still shy with me? We're all old husbands and wives. ”

Yao Yanyu shook her head decisively: "How can there be so much for what?" Not wanting is not wanting to. Also, you go to the study to sleep these days, and you are not allowed to lie here. ”

"Nope." Wei Hou Ye decisively refused, "What is the reason for this?" Shouldn't I be with you the way you are now? ”

Yao Yanyu said with a smile: "This is what the second sister-in-law said, you people who lead troops to fight are the most taboo about this." ”

Wei Zhang snorted unhappily: "What kind of ghost taboo? I led my troops to fight with the strategy of using soldiers and the courage of soldiers to kill the enemy, what does it have to do with this? ”

"The old man said so, where do I know the Tao." Yao Yanyu said with a smile.

"We don't have any elderly people in our family, so we don't have to listen to that." Wei Zhang took it for granted.

Yao Yanyu didn't say more, she didn't shy away from these things, besides, she was busy inside and outside for a while, Wei Zhang sent the coffin of the first emperor to the imperial tomb, and she hadn't seen her for many days, and she also hoped that he could accompany her more.

At night, Xiao Yiyi was carried to sleep in the wing room by the nurse, and Ning's served Yao Yanyu to drink the Shiquan soup specially stewed for confinement and went to the guest room of the side hospital to rest.

Wei Zhang finally untied his clothes and lay down beside his wife, he stretched out his arms and moved the person flat up, and then lay down beside her. Yao Yanyu had just given birth to a child, her body was weak and she had no energy, and there was Wei Zhang lying beside her, and she had no memory in her heart, so she soon fell asleep peacefully.

And Wei Zhang lay beside her for a long time and couldn't sleep.

There are many imperfections in his life, he was a young man, he lacked the care of family affection, he grew up in the barracks, and he was used to killing and slaughtering. There are only a few brothers who can live and die together, and they live a life without a country and a home.

Until she married the woman next to her, she used her gentle hands to smooth the scars in his heart, give him the salvation of his soul, and fill the gap in his emotions.

It's just that this time, the most important experience in his life, he didn't spend it with her.

It will be his regret and he will have to find a way to mend it.

……

Two days later, the emperor and the army of civil and military ministers will return to the capital. Wei Zhang led the team to the city gate to greet him, and then sent the emperor back to the palace.

The emperor asked Wei Zhang: "Did Mrs. Yao add a son or a daughter for you?" ”

Wei Zhang said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, and my son has added a daughter to the minister." ”

"Hello daughter!" The emperor smiled and said: "The daughter is the parents' close-fitting little padded jacket." Got a name? ”

"Yes, the minister gave her a nickname, Yiyi."

"That's a good name." The emperor smiled and nodded, turned around and walked to the dragon case, flipped through a book of folds and put it back, suddenly turned his head and said, "Aiqing is not yet thirty years old this year, right?" ”

"What the emperor said is that the minister is exactly twenty-eight years old." Wei Zhang hurriedly replied.

"I got a daughter at the age of twenty-eight, and this girl must be the pearl of love." The emperor smiled and sighed.

"That's what the emperor said." Wei Zhang had to follow the emperor's words.

The emperor slowly paced in the Qianyuan Hall with his hands behind his back, and said unhurriedly: "When the emperor was here, he was sick and painful thanks to Mrs. Yao's skillful healing. My father once told me that because of the 'Qingxin Pill', it was actually a helpless move to suspend my wife from work at home. Today, Aiqing and his wife are happy to love their daughter, and I feel very happy. Well, let's give this female the title of 'county lord', and the fief and title will be discussed and submitted by the government. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Wei Zhang quickly knelt down.

"Get up." With a satisfied smile, the emperor asked again: "What about the full moon wine?" ”

"This ...... Chen didn't think about it. In fact, the minister felt that this was just a private matter of the minister's family, and it was not appropriate to publicize it. ”

The emperor smiled and asked, "What do you think?" Is it because I'm not satisfied that it's a girl? ”

"No, no!" Wei Zhang immediately shook his head, and then said with a smile: "But since the little girl is favored by the saint and has been awarded the title of county lord, this full moon wine minister must be handled well." ”

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Well, if I have time, I will also go and ask for a cup of full moon wine from the little county lord." ”

"Your Majesty." Wei Zhang bowed again.

In fact, according to the meaning of Yao Yanyu, giving birth to a child is a matter of one's own family, two years ago, the emperor was in poor health, and many political affairs were given to the auxiliary ministers of the court, and among these auxiliary ministers, it was Yao Yuanzhi who saw the emerging and gradually ascended to the first assistant.

Wei Zhang is also a high-ranking power now, and he is very jealous of some powerful people in the court. Therefore, Yao Yanyu didn't want to publicize her daughter's matter, thinking that on the day of the full moon, she would just invite her mother's family to sit casually with Ruan's Su Yuxuan and a few other people here.

But now that her daughter has the title of county lord, and the emperor has asked about the full moon wine, she is naturally low-key.

In order to give the emperor's son, Ninghou's Mansion sent invitations widely, and on weekdays, all colleagues and dignitaries who were courteous received invitations to the full moon banquet prepared by Ninghou for his beloved daughter.

The sixth day of the third month is the best time of the year and 12 months. In the back garden of Ninghou Mansion, there are flowers full of streams, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, green trees and thousands of silks, purple swallows flying and bees and butterflies playing.

The full moon banquet of the eldest daughter of Ning Hou was set up in this bright spring garden.

Because Yao Yanyu has not been out of confinement, it is not suitable to be managed, so all the trivial matters of the full moon banquet are handled by Ruan Shi and worry, and Su Yuyu and Ning have also made a lot of efforts.

Of course, Mama Feng has not been idle in the Ninghou Mansion for the past few years, and has selected and taught four shrewd housekeepers' daughters-in-law for Yao Yanyu, one of which is Cui Shi, the daughter-in-law of the chief housekeeper.

This Cui is a woman from a good family, the wife of the spear Ming Media is marrying, her father is a down-and-out talent, he has not been successful in the examination all his life, and he makes a living by lecturing books in private schools. Therefore, this Cui family has also heard about it since he was a child, learned ideas and knowledge in his heart, and was taught a loyal heart by his father, which is the housekeeper lady candidate that Mama Feng has been looking for.

Before, there was no major event in Ninghou Mansion, and the housekeeper daughters-in-law only did some small things under the assignment of a few ladies, such as preparing New Year's gifts, taking care of trivial matters in the house, etc., and now the full moon banquet of the little master in the family is an opportunity for them to show their talents, so they all perform their duties one by one, and they are all working hard to do things, for fear that something will go wrong and be clicked by Mama Feng, and there is no longer the majesty of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law.

Early this morning, the door of Ninghou Mansion was opened to welcome guests from all walks of life.

All the ministers in the court have a pair of snobbish eyes, everyone knows that Yao Yuanzhi is now in a high position, although he still hangs the title of the imperial history of the left capital, but in fact he is the prime minister, it is said that several auxiliary ministers of the emperor in the Chonghua Palace are all looking forward to him.

And Ninghou Weizhang holds tens of thousands of Jinlin Guards, admits nine gates, shoulders the protection of the palace and the military defense of the nine gates of the capital, and is deeply relied on by the new emperor, and there is a faint tendency to compare the Chengwang Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion, and his status is by no means lower than that of his old father-in-law.

Moreover, this Weng son-in-law is both literate and martial, and they have shouldered heavy responsibilities since the first emperor, and they are still in power when they arrive at the new monarch. Who dares to underestimate the ministers of the court?

Therefore, needless to say, those who received the invitation all came to drink the full moon wine with the congratulatory gifts, and many people who did not receive the invitation directly brought the congratulatory gifts to drink the full moon wine. For a while, the streets of the Great Cloud Imperial Capital came and went, except for the high-headed horses and the green tweed official sedan chairs, and even those traders and pawns followed suit, shouting and selling more cheerfully than before.

The emperor's holy decree arrived at the right time, and with the new eunuch Zhang Suixi in charge of the Qianyuan Palace, he said in a shrill male duck voice: "The holy decree has arrived!" The noisy people in Ninghou's Mansion gradually quieted down.

A subordinate hurriedly reported in, wearing a red second-class county official robe, Yu Xuan Angwei Hou Ye and Yao Yanyu, who was dressed in a red embroidered auspicious cloud fairy crane pattern lady palace dress, walked out side by side, Yao Yanyu was holding a pine green swaddling baby in her arms, and in the swaddling clothes was a little milk baby who had just come out of the full moon.

Three cannons rang out at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Wei Zhang and his wife knelt down in front of the incense case. All the officials present knelt on the ground with the Weis. Zhang Suixi stepped forward to read the holy decree with a bright yellow embroidered double dragon playing beads.

Wei Zhang has long known the content of the holy decree, so he is not in a hurry, neither humble nor arrogant. But the other officials who came to congratulate them couldn't figure out the way, and after listening to the holy decree, everyone was still a little relieved, and when Wei Zhang loudly thanked the emperor, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and look at each other, and some of them kneeling on the edge and corner couldn't help but whisper:

- What's going on? Ning Hou's eldest daughter who had just completed the moon was made the county lord by the emperor?

- That's what the Divine Decree says! However, this is also too ......

- Ahhhh Marquis Wei is really a saint's favorite, no one can match it!

- Although the title of the county lord is common, there are not many little dolls who have just completed the moon and have this title!

β€”β€”Except for the second daughter of the eldest princess of Yunni who has such an honor, I don't have a second one in the Great Cloud Dynasty!

β€”β€”The emperor really relies on the Marquis Wei!

- Yes, I still have to hug Hou Ye's thighs in the future!

- Phew! No matter how loyal and brave Wei Hou Ye is, can he compare to the Duke of Zhenguo?

- It's time and time!

- Let's see! The so-called full moon is full and the water is overflowing!

- Shut your crow's mouth! Wei Houye, can't you stop that?

- Presumptuous! I'm waiting for the king's luck! Naturally, you have to worry about your family and country!

- That is, we are not his diners, so naturally we will not serve him as the Lord!

……

The people in the corners whispered, thinking that they were speaking in a very small voice and taking advantage of the chaos, so no one would pay attention, but they didn't know that every corner of the Ninghou Mansion had special arrangements, and every word of each of them was almost unchanged in two directions: one was in the ears of Ninghou Weizhang, and the other was naturally the ears of the young emperor who was high in the palace.

The emperor stood in front of the dragon case, holding a white jade purple hair, dipped in thick ink, waved his pen, and wrote the word 'Mou' in one go. After writing, he was not in a hurry to put down the pen, but stood in front of the dragon case with one hand, carefully tasting his ink treasure.

Zhang Suixi, who was originally reporting to the front, was busy when he saw this, and did not dare to disturb the emperor's interest in self-evaluation.

"Huh? Why don't you talk about it. The emperor didn't find out after a long time that Zhang Suixi didn't continue, so he asked casually.

"Back to the emperor, it's nothing more than that, some people think that Ninghou Shengsheng is long, and he should hold his stinky feet, and a few people think that Ninghou is a good master, and the water is overflowing, and the emperor gave him such a reward, in fact, he is ready to take him to the knife......"

"Fart!" The emperor suddenly changed color, and the white jade purple in his hand was thrown on the dragon case with a snap, and said angrily: "In the eyes of those people, am I the kind of person who unloads the mill and kills the donkey?!" ”

"The emperor is angry." Zhang Suixi has accompanied the emperor to study and practice martial arts since he was a child, and he also has a lot of ink in his stomach. These people are quietly talking in private, nothing more than trying to keep their official future. If it is said that His Majesty is talking about His Majesty, it is a hundred dares for them. The emperor is discerning and arbitrary, so why should he be angry about these trivial matters. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's anger in his heart disappeared a little, but he was a little indignant after all.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly smiled again: "You say, I am going to Ninghou Mansion to ask for a full moon wine to drink now, what will those ministers be?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Suixi hesitated and replied: "Back to the emperor, if the emperor really wants to make this trip, I am afraid that it will make those who tend to be more attached to win, and those who are afraid will avoid Ning Hou like a snake and scorpion." ”

The emperor nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad! Not bad! In that case, I'm looking forward to it. ”

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Suixi looked up in surprise, thinking that the emperor wouldn't really want to go to Ninghou Mansion, right?

"Someone, change clothes!" The emperor suddenly turned around and walked to the apse, leaving Zhang Suixi standing there alone and regretting it - he knew that if the emperor wanted to leave the palace, he should persuade him, and he really shouldn't fan the flames! This time, the situation outside the palace is complicated, if there is anything wrong, the heads of a hundred and ten members of my family are not enough to cut off!

At the same time, Ninghou's mansion was full of staggered and laughter.

Chengwangfu Yunkun, Yanwangfu Yunheng, Dingbei Hou Su Yuping, Zhenguo Mansion Yongyi Hou and Han Ergongzi, An Yi Hou Shizi Zhou Chengyang and several other transcendent Hou Ye princes sat in the chief, and everyone was friendly with Wei Zhang again, knowing that he had the ability to not get drunk in a thousand cups, and this time he would naturally not let go of the great opportunity to pour him wine.

In the shouting of the drinking order, Wei Zhang, who was drinking with the guests, got a vague gesture from his henchmen, excused himself to change his clothes, told everyone that he was out of company, and left the table.

After a while, General Wei really changed into a royal blue swallow suit and sat down again, and then continued to laugh and drink with the guests.

In the moment when he left, Marquis Ning not only received the discussions in his own mansion, but even the dialogue between Emperor Jinglong and the head of the imperial guard in the Qianyuan Palace, the emperor's own brother, and Zhang Suixi, the commander of the Jinlin Guard, was also clear.

Knowing that the emperor was going to come later, Wei Zhang's heart quieted down, and he simply let go of the amount of heavy drinking, completely looking like he was bent on getting drunk.

When the emperor really came, he was already five or six points drunk.

Seeing that he was unguarded, the emperor naturally felt much more comfortable. After accepting the bowing of Wei Zhang and his wife and the ministers, he gave a jade Ruyi in public as a gift to the small county lord of Jiayuan, and then sat down in the first place, drank three glasses of wine, and said a few jokes with several Yun Kun, Han Entropy, Ge and others, and then got up and left under the pretext that there were still twists and turns to watch.

The full moon banquet of the eldest daughter of the Ninghou Mansion entered a new climax with the departure of the emperor.

As Zhang Suixi expected, those who made up their minds to hug the thighs of Marquis Ning stepped forward to toast, and some people felt that the congratulatory gifts they gave were not enough, so they asked the servants they carried to pass the word to the ladies inside, and at the banquet of the other virgins, when Yao Yanyu took her daughter to toast the ladies, she received a meeting gift.

This was unexpected, which caught Yao Yanyu off guard. Fortunately, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law behind him was capable, and when she saw that the ladies of each family had a courtesy, she quietly called the bookkeeper to come in and record the gifts one by one, in case of future reference.

After Wei Yiyi's full moon banquet, Emperor Jinglong felt that he had figured out the details of all the forces in the court and the new nobleman Ninghou, who his father was not worried about when he was dying, and proposed a new policy for the government affairs at that time - the establishment of a cabinet.

The so-called cabinet, as Emperor Jinglong said, was the emperor's secretarial body.

Emperor Jinglong, in order to consolidate the country's society and avoid the situation of the prime minister monopolizing power and secretly supporting the prince formed during the reign of his father, decided to add a cabinet as a state advisory body.

The cabinet has seven cabinet members, and the emperor has long been pulled out of the civil and military officials, and the seven cabinet members are: Yao Yuanzhi, the former auxiliary minister of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, served as the first assistant and acted as the prime minister. The second assistant Zhen Molin is the deputy minister. The other five cabinet members are Zhou Taiyu, the auxiliary minister of An Yihou, Feng Shaoping, a scholar of the Prince Taifu University, Sun Yu, a scholar of the former Huguang Jingluo University, Lu Changbai, a scholar of the Prince and Young Fu University, and Liang Yuecheng, a scholar of the former Shangshu University of the Ministry of Rites.

The members of the cabinet and the first assistant and the second assistant are now appointed by the emperor, and a year later, the policy of court promotion will be implemented, with the participation of cabinet members and thirteen ministers of the six ministries of Shangshugong, and the one with the most votes will ascend to the throne.

Of course, this was not the emperor's whim, in fact, Emperor Jinglong had such an idea when he was studying with the former emperor's master Xiao Taifu. He reads history books and knows the rise and fall. The history of the rise and fall of successive dynasties was memorized, and after careful consideration, a new policy was formed. After ascending the throne as emperor, he was not busy seizing power, nor was he busy interfering in political affairs, but summoned ministers to various ministries every day in the Qianyuan Palace, chatted, talked, and debated with them.

After more than a month of hard work, with the assistance of several capable ministers, such a new policy was formed.

And such a new beginning will surely make him the most wise and sage emperor among the twelve emperors in the history of the Great Cloud Dynasty for more than 350 years, and create a prosperous era of Jingqing in the Great Cloud Dynasty. This is a later story, so I will not repeat it here.

At this court meeting, Emperor Jinglong also followed his father's plan, respectively, Zhenguo Gong, King Cheng, King Yan and other royal relatives and relatives each had their own officials and knights, and entrusted them with important tasks.

Among them, the Duke of Zhenguo was named the King of Jingxi, and the title of Duke of Guo was hereditary by the eldest son Han Genge. The second son, Han Entropy, was crowned the Marquis of Zongzheng.

Prince Cheng was named Prince Chengyi; The prince of the county is hereditary by the eldest son Yun Kun, and is given the title of 'Su';

Yan Wangye was named Prince Yan Gong, and the county prince was hereditary by his eldest son Yun Heng, and he was given the title of 'Li'.

In addition, Ninghou Weizhang played the book, asking the emperor to divide the Jinlin Wei into two branches, one 10,000 Jingwei was headed by the new emperor's brother Zhang Suixi, the son of heaven, and was responsible for the guards of the palace of Yundu City, Nanyuan, Xiyuan and Xinggong. The remaining 30,000 people were placed in the hands of Wang Yunkun of Sujun and were responsible for the safety of the Son of Heaven when he went out.

The emperor changed it at his discretion and selected the elite of the 30,000 people under Yun Kun's command in a harsh way, leaving only 10,000. The remaining 20,000 people were removed from the Jinlin Guard and placed under the Fierce Eagle Guard.

The Eagle Guardian is in charge, and its duties remain the same.

At this point, the power in the hands of General Ning Houwei, who was famous in the eyes of the ministers, was finally divided into three, and it was no longer a key topic for the officials and idle ministers to chew after dinner.

------Off topic------
