Chapter 631: Choosing a Princess for Your Son

In the side hall of Changkun Palace, what the emperor and the crown prince were talking about at this time was a major event of the country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The crown prince took a sip of tea, and then said to the emperor, "...... The two brothers of the Lin family asked for the return of military power several times in the name of the recurrence of old injuries, and asked Shi to stay in Beijing to recuperate. Erchen sent the fold back several times, but the Lin brothers were quite resolute, which made Erchen very rare for a while. ”

The crown prince is now approaching maturity in court affairs, and he is also handy in handling government affairs, and the emperor is now gradually handing over most of the state affairs to the prince, enjoying his life wholeheartedly, and spending more time with Lin Yan and his youngest son.

The folds handed over by the courtiers were first sent back to the prince, who disposed of them, and when the prince could not dispose of them or the matter was important, he would come to consult the emperor.

And the emperor now always asks the prince's opinion first, so he asks him: "What is your opinion on this matter?" ”

The crown prince had no reservations in front of the emperor, and said bluntly: "Erchen understands the concerns of the Lin family, the Lin family is now a double lord and a descendant, and it is hot in the court. The Lin family is worried that the moon will be full and it will be lost, so they want to let their family cool down in the middle of the court. The Lin family is the foreign family of the son, and the son-in-law should have avoided his relatives, so he was invited by the Lin family, but ......" The prince turned his head to look at the little prince Huan, and then said: "Although Huan'er has stayed in the northwest for a while, after all, the foundation is very shallow, and at this time, it will be difficult to completely hand over the northwest to Huan'er." When Huan'er returns to the northwest, there should still be someone by his side to help him. The Lin family's brother is Huan'er's uncle, and the Lin family has guarded the northwest for several generations, whether it is leading the troops to fight or ruling the people, it can be convincing, and it is most suitable for them to help Huan'er. ”

The Emperor nodded, but said nothing.

The crown prince continued: "What's more, the four khanates outside the northwest pass have just been defeated, and the people of the original khanate are not popular, I am afraid that there will be rebels from time to time, and at this time, someone also needs to sit in the northwest to suppress these rebels." So Erchen thought about it, and the best way was to let the Lin brothers return to the northwest to continue to serve. ”

The emperor said: "Just do it according to your opinion, but you can allow one of the Lin brothers to play." approved Lin Chenggang's performance, left him in the capital, and let Lin Chengliang and Lin Chengzheng go to the northwest. ”

The crown prince was a little strange and did not understand the emperor's intentions.

The emperor explained to him: "As soon as I came here, I had already taken a step back, and the Lin family was not good and forced Lin Chengzheng to do the same. Second, the knife is not sharpened, the Lin family is brave and good at fighting, with a bloody nature, you can leave the Lin family for the time being, but if there is a war, you can't leave the Lin family. Lin Chengliang has been idle in the capital for more than ten years, and it is time to hone this knife. After he went to the northwest, he was given a position that was not too high, starting from the bottom of the soldiers, and then promoted by military merit. ”

The prince said yes and did not speak again.

The little prince of Huan just listened while drinking tea while holding tea, and did not speak.

When the emperor said this, he remembered something again, and asked, "Didn't Chengliang say that he was going to open a martial arts academy, how is it going?" ”

When the little prince heard this, he finally had something to say, and hurriedly put down the tea he was drinking, and said to the emperor: "It's really done, I went to my uncle's martial arts academy last time to see it, and now I have recruited twenty or thirty people. Now the second, third, and fifth uncles are all part-time teachers there. ”

The emperor smiled when he heard this: "I usually see that Cheng Liang looks like he has no ambitions, but I didn't expect to come up with such an idea, and I really let him do it." This is not bad, it can train a few more generals for the imperial court. ”

Huan Xiaozi said: "This is about the importance of marrying a good daughter-in-law, this idea was given by the little uncle, and the silver for opening the college was also given by the little uncle, and the little uncle just picked up a cheap one and married a woman." ”

In the evening, the emperor talked to Lin Yan about these things, and praised Lin Chengliang and Tao a lot.

Lin Yan smiled and said: "Lu Niang is indeed a good child, who can urge Chengliang to make progress and has his own opinions. As he spoke, he said to the emperor: "Tao came to the palace two days ago and asked me what I meant, saying that she still wants to set up a women's college and recruit some women to study, and asked me if it is feasible." I told her that I had to ask the emperor about this. ”

Although the emperor felt that the talents of women in the world were not as good as those of men, he did not have the idea that women were virtuous if they were not talented, so he smiled and said: "Okay, if she has this kind of will, why can't I fulfill her." However, she wants to open a women's college, which is always shocking, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of resistance. ”

Lin Yan said with a smile: "These are all Tao's affairs, the emperor only needs to agree, whether it is successful or not, it depends on Tao's ability." ”

The Emperor nodded with a smile and said no more.

Lin Yan said another thing, and said: "Zhao'er will also move to the outer palace next year to live, and Zhao'er said that she wants to live in the Mude Palace where Huan'er used to live." Originally, there are not many children in the palace now, there is no problem of not being able to live, Huan'er's Mude Palace I want to keep, and sometimes Huan'er has a place to live when he enters the palace. But Zhao'er said that he wanted to live in Huan'er's Mude Palace, I asked Huan'er, and Huan'er was also willing to give Mude Palace to Zhao'er to live in, do you think it would be good for Zhao'er to move to Mude Palace next year? ”

The emperor said: "They are brothers, let them be." ”

Lin Yan smiled when she heard this, and said, "That's good, I don't have to clean up the house anymore, it saves me a lot of effort." Zhao'er, the kid, told me that he was going to help his brother guard the house. ”

The emperor pondered for a while at this time, as if he was thinking about something, but after a while, he suddenly said to Lin Yan: "Yuan Yuan, do you think we should choose a princess for Huan'er now?" ”

Lin Yan almost thought that she hadn't heard clearly, "ah", and then was stunned for a moment before she said, "It's too early, Huan'er is only fourteen years old." ”

The emperor said: "It's not too young, I got married when I was sixteen years old." Good girls don't wait for anyone, I picked a few good girls to watch earlier, watched them for two years, and then picked a good one and made Huan'er a princess. "Of course his beloved son should marry the best girl.

Lin Yan felt a little embarrassed, but the emperor did what he said, sat up straight and took Lin Yan's hand and said: "You will hold a banquet in the palace in a few days, so that the unmarried girls of officials above the fourth grade in the capital will come to the palace, you can take your time, pick a few good girls, and let his family raise and teach them well." ”

Lin Yan: "......"

The emperor felt that he was still dissatisfied, and muttered again: "No, Huan'er's princess still has to be liked by Huan'er, and then let Huan'er herself palm the eyes." After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "It's not good, Huan'er is young and inexperienced, so it is inevitable that he only pays attention to appearance and not character, and I have to personally palm his eyes." ”

Lin Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty, you can just run a draft." ”

When the emperor heard this, he thought it was a good idea, and took Lin Yan's hand and said with a smile: "This is a good idea for you, and you don't have to be limited to the daughters in the capital at that time, let the girls of the local officials also come to the election." It's been a long time since the palace held a draft. ”

Lin Yan patted the emperor's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's rest." After saying that, he yawned and lay down first.

The emperor was still thinking about how to choose a good princess for his son......
