Chapters 07-08
Chapter VII
Biwa flying urn, magnificent, the imperial city building is really extravagant. However, now is not the time to admire, to meet the emperor!
"Xiaoyi, don't be nervous. His Majesty the Emperor is younger than his grandfather, just about the same age as General Zhou! ”
"Huh?!" How old is that, General Zhou is said to be one round younger than you, but it looks like he's fifty, okay?
"Ahem ......" probably felt that it was inappropriate to refer to the characters, and Li Kaijiang simply went directly: "Your Majesty is not confused after the New Year." ”
Well, he understands this - just over forty.
"Xiaoyi, have you memorized everything your grandmother taught you?"
"Ahhh......h Isn't it just a qiē action and listen to the command!
"Xiao Bi, His Majesty the Emperor is not terrible, it is a little more majestic, but, that is for the ministers, and it will not be like this for Xiao Yu."
"Ahh Understand! The emperor and a little boy shook their majesty, and there was nothing to shake.
"Xiao Yi, don't make trouble when you see His Majesty the Emperor! Otherwise, Grandpa would have spanked. ”
"Ahh Got it. What am I messing with, I'm nervous here! Grandpa, don't make trouble, let me calm down.
"Little Bab...... "Let's go, let's go!"
Grandpa, you're so long-winded!
Buzzing, Li Shaoqing's ears are full of his grandfather's admonitions, it's so annoying to listen to!
In the imperial garden, the plum blossoms bloom just right, and the cold fragrance is secretly sent.
I still remember the beginning of the year.
When he first ascended the throne, everything was complicated, he was depressed, he wanted to make drastic reforms, and there were many elbows, and the folds of opposition were piled up into a small mountain, so he didn't want to look at it. Turn to the Imperial Garden. The cold breeze blows on the face, and there is a touch of clarity.
Suddenly hearing the laughter, Li Yinyuan wanted to find out. Then, I felt a small figure bump into me. Gonggong Rui on the side was about to make a move when he saw it, but was stopped by Li Yinyuan waving his hand.
I felt that someone hugged my thigh, and when I lowered my head, there was a pair of black and white eyes, which were full of ignorance.
"Who are you?" Li Yinyuan asked.
"Brother Emperor." The child was a little dumbfounded.
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Duke Rui only smiled and said, "The little prince wants to call the emperor His Majesty." ”
"But His Majesty the Emperor is so young, the same age as Shao Qing's brother. Emperor Majesty, Shao Qing is not good at calling you the emperor's brother! Xiao Shaoqing asked with a puzzled face, with no fear in his eyes.
Li Yinyuan found it interesting and asked, "But I still don't know which child you are?" ”
"Back to His Majesty, the little boy Shao Qing, is five years old this year, and his grandfather is Shao Bingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Today, the three princes chose to read together, and I was lucky enough to be selected by the three princes. His Royal Highness the Third Prince allowed me to visit the Imperial Garden with me, disturb His Majesty, and hope that His Majesty would forgive my sins. After that, Shao Qing was about to kneel down.
Li Yinyuan hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "You are the prince's companion, but you call me the emperor's brother, isn't that a bad grade!" ”
"Na, isn't that your majesty looking young!" Shao Qing felt that something was wrong, and peeked at Li Yinyuan, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
Li Yinyuan laughed when he heard this. He doesn't get serious with a child. Whether it's the emperor's majesty or the emperor's brother, it's just a title, childish and innocent, really cute. Old man Shao is not very good, but this kid is not bad, quite interesting.
Shao Qing saw that the emperor only smiled silently, and plucked up the courage to ask: "Then I will still call you Emperor Xià in the future!" ”
"Well, you can call me Brother Emperor when no one is around."
"Huh?!" The peak loop turned. Shao Qing replied with a big smile. "Hmmm! Okay,"
"Are you happy?"
"Happy."
Then, the three princes came over and saluted in fear. Li Yinyuan excused him. Then, the third prince left, but Li Yinyuan remembered Shao Qing, who looked like Yuxue was cute.
Twelve years later, in the hall of the long jade body, the eyes were full of glitter, as if every qiē beside him had become a foil. At the Qionglin banquet, a red dress made Shao Qing more and more white and beautiful. Shao Qing, who was overwhelmed by the wine, sneaked to the edge of the imperial flower pond.
"Who is this, isn't this my Tanhualang!"
"Brother Emperor." Shao Qing turned around in surprise.
"Hahaha......" Li Yinyuan had already secretly paid attention to Shao Qing's actions, so he could find it so quickly. Shao Qing naturally didn't know.
Shao Qing is a young talent, and he will enter the Shishi and the first in the seventeenth, and he will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Later, because of a flying phoenix penmanship, the emperor ordered him to go straight to the study. Shao Qing in the emperor's weight, favored by the dynasty, there is a record: where there is an edict, then order Shao Qing to enter, dictate the general idea, or in front of the palace to write a book, or a few curtains, the manuscript will be presented to the imperial review, no less than several times a day.
The relationship between the monarch and the minister greatly changed the situation of the Shao family at the beginning of the emperor's accession, and also allowed Shao Bingwen to sit firmly in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Standing at the head of the city, in addition to the Royal Forest Army, there are only Gonggong Rui and Shao Qing.
"Brother Emperor, the weather is getting colder, and it's not good to stand for a long time." After that, he took the big from Gonggong Rui and draped it on Li Yinyuan's shoulder.
Li Yinyuan waved his hand, but touched Shao Qing's hand, so he caught it, and then frowned.
"Why is it so cold?"
"Brother Emperor, Shao Qing is not cold."
Li Yinyuan insisted on draping the big coat on Shao Qing's body, and then said, "Let's go back!" ”
When Father-in-law Rui drove back to the palace, Li Yinyuan always held Shao Qing's hand until that hand warmed up in Li Yinyuan's hand and was no longer cold.
Shao Qing's merit is not in handling a certain political matter, but in writing work, he has perfected the system of folding and folding. Where Li Yinyuan ascended the throne, the old system was followed, and officials reported to the emperor when they had something, and used a script for official affairs and a notebook for private affairs. The question book is stamped, and the recital book is not stamped. The inscriptions were all submitted by the envoy of the general government, and before the emperor read and approved them, the cabinet scholars had already "voted" for them. Therefore, both instruments are public, which is not conducive to the transmission of feelings. Secondly, the procedures for handling documents in the subject script are too complicated, the operation speed is very slow, and because there are too many handling personnel, it is easy to cause leakage, which greatly restricts the emperor's implementation of government affairs. Since Shao Qing mentioned yì and the emperor issued a decree to institutionalize the folds, the local officials first wrote the folds for slightly more important matters, and only after the emperor's approval and approval did they write a script for official reports. Over time, the system has become more and more perfect. In terms of the content of the recital, it is richer than before. One of the most important is to use the folds to discuss government affairs. Li Yinyuan said: "What cannot be exhausted in this chapter, the twists and turns can be explained in detail; If the decree cannot be fulfilled, it can also be read in detail in the recital to conclude the action. ”
Shao Qing is as warm as jade when he is not smiling, but when he laughs, he is as bright as fire, and he is very flamboyant. However, Li Yinyuan just likes his unscrupulous publicity.
It's another year when the plum blossoms bloom, but the flowers are still there, and the people are not there.
"Majesty!" A voice pulled Li Yinyuan back from memory to reality.
Li Yinyuan looked over, and the familiar bright eyebrows were just not similar.
"How did Concubine Li get here?"
"Concubines are just ......"
"Your Majesty, Xingguo Gong Pilgrimage."
"Xuan."
Chapter VIII
Concubine Li is smart, she originally wanted to ask for a trick, but the timing was not right, the harem was not involved in the previous dynasty, I heard that the Duke of Xingguo was here, Concubine Li quickly thought of the matter of yesterday's emperor giving grace to the grandson of the Duke of Xingguo on a whim, presumably the Duke of Xingguo came to thank him. But the emperor's mind was unpredictable, and it was inconvenient for her to stay longer. After blessings, Concubine Li left.
"Niangniang, it's really not the right time for this Xingguo Gong to come."
"No, he's very picky." The emperor is not in a good mood, and Xingguo Gong may not be able to please him.
"Mother, the slave doesn't know."
"If you don't know, you don't know! Xingguo Gong is an old fox. You see, yesterday His Majesty gave a gift, and he immediately asked Mrs. Zhao Zhenjing to hand a sign to the palace, and today he entered the palace to thank him. You see, this reaction is beyond the reach of ordinary people! ”
"That's what the mother said."
"Later, you pay attention to that side."
"Yes, mother, slave and maid understand."
Concubine Li tightened the fox fur on her body, if it weren't for the emperor, she wouldn't want to come out to blow the cold wind! Rather than admiring plum blossoms, she prefers to look at the peach blossoms in spring, which are amorous and pleasing. Looking at the peach blossoms, she is in a good mood, and a good mood will make her forget about that person. The man she was once grateful to and now hated.
The Zhao family originally wanted to take Li Shaoqing to meet the Queen Mother first, but Li Kaijiang insisted on taking Li Shaoqing with him, and Li Shaoqing, a little kid who could only ah, had no right to speak. In fact, even if he can speak, he has no right to speak, and in his heart, who is the seer is not to see. It's actually good to be able to please the Queen Mother first. No matter what dynasty is filial piety first, even if he does not show good in front of the emperor, he can make up for it if he is liked by the queen mother. However, his grandfather said that he wanted to see the emperor first, so okay, let's see him. Li Shaoqing, who had been nagged all the way, felt that his mood was gradually calming down.
A touch of bright yellow is getting clearer and clearer.
On this cold day, although the sun was good, I really didn't expect that the emperor would entertain them in the imperial garden. Well, it's not a bad idea to take this opportunity to see the Imperial Garden. Sure enough, it's much stronger than your own courtyard. Perhaps the weather was good, and the flowers that were brought out of the inner room were placed in the sun, and the red and red looked less deserted.
After the little eunuch passed the word, Li Shaoqing was able to get close to the emperor. The dragon robe is really delicate and eye-catching, but the person wearing the dragon robe is also tall and majestic. People in their forties look well-maintained, with beards on their lips, not long, neat and neat, adding a bit of calmness to this appearance. I have to say that the emperor is still a very attractive man, and Li Shaoqing feels that the harem beauties are still very blessed. At least the emperor has a good look, and his figure is not blessed. It seems that there is no shortage of exercise on weekdays! Li Shaoqing felt that if he could maintain such a figure at the age of forty in the future, he would be content.
Just when Li Shaoqing was thinking about it, Li Kaijiang let go of Li Shaoqing, and he was about to lead Li Shaoqing to make a big salute. However, as soon as he bent his knees, he was stopped by the emperor. Li Shaoqing is glad, it must be even colder this day, he is only one year old!
Li Yinyuan looked at Li Shaoqing's little face seriously, and he didn't feel a little funny, children, they have to be teased to be fun.
"Open the territory, presumably this is the smart little grandson in your mouth!"
"Hui Majesty xià, it is the grandson of the minister. The nickname is Xiaoyi. ”
"Little pig, it's quite like that." Looking at Li Shaoqing's baby fat, Li Yinyuan is like pinching.
Like your uncle, you are a pig. Li Shaoqing silently retorted in his heart, and his face was still serious.
After observing for a long time, Li Yinyuan asked: "Open the territory, is your little pig afraid of me, you don't smile when you see that he is nervous." ”
"Back to your majesty, Xiao Yu is very naughty on weekdays. It may have been told by the minister on the road, and Xiao Yu listened to it. "At a critical time, Xiao Yu, you must be more powerful!
"That's right! Can piglets walk? ”
"Back to His Majesty, Xiao Yu can still walk, but it's not too stable."
"Can you call someone?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Yan still can't, it's ashamed to say that he hasn't even called his grandfather so far, let alone his parents. Lao Chen thought, this is also normal, Zhou Hu, the grandson of the old Zhou family, can only speak when he is two years old. Therefore, Lao Chen is not in a hurry. ”
"Liar, you are in a hurry to say this." Li Yinyuan smiled.
Li Kaijiang was silent, only smiled. In fact, what the emperor said is right, although Li Kaijiang is calm, but in the head of his children and grandchildren, he likes to take the lead in everything. It's no wonder who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to be better than themselves!
Bending down slightly, Li Yinyuan clapped his hands and motioned for Li Shaoqing to come over to his side. Li Shaoqing looked at Li Kaijiang, and when he saw Li Kaijiang nodding, he had the courage to sway towards the emperor.
In the end, the person was small, and when he was about to arrive, Li Shaoqing felt unstable under his feet, so he hurriedly rushed forward and hugged Li Yinyuan's thigh. The emperor's thighs aren't very thick!
Raising his head, Li Shaoqing and Li Yinyuan exchanged glances.
"The Emperor...... Uncle ......"
Then, Li Shaoqing saw Li Yinyuan's expression.
Father-in-law Rui and Li Kaijiang on the side saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"The Emperor...... Uncle ......" Li Shaoqing called a little dumbfounded. The emperor didn't seem to be very happy.
A childish face, a pair of big black and white eyes, full of ignorance and innocence.
There used to be people who also called themselves like this, with soft and glutinous children's voices, some fearful and some respectful to call themselves.
[Brother Emperor! 】
Li Kaijiang was on the side, a little anxious, he was very surprised that his grandson would speak, but looking at the emperor's expression, he didn't seem to be happy, and he didn't want to be unhappy, how could he speak! That's sad!
"Who are you?" Li Yinyuan asked.
"The Emperor...... Uncle ...... "Li Shaoqing pretended to be stunned, he also wanted to hold back a few words, but he would say so now."
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Duke Rui only smiled and said, "The little prince wants to call the emperor His Majesty." ”
"The Emperor...... Uncle ......, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't say it, and Li Shaoqing is also a little anxious."
Suddenly, Li Shaoqing's gaze was parallel to Li Yinyuan.
"Uncle Emperor!" Try hard, and you can connect it into four words.
Li Yinyuan's eyes were hot, and he touched Li Shaoqing's cheek.
Li Shaoqing gave Li Yinyuan a big smile. It's not that he Li Shaoqing boasts, his smiling face is invincible!
Sure enough, when he saw the moon shining through the clouds and mist, the emperor's expression was also relaxed, but the metaphor in his eyes was unclear, as if he had written something he couldn't understand, but what did it matter, as long as the emperor was in a good mood.
Very boldly, Li Shaoqing kicked his legs hard.
Po –
This is a dragon's face! It's not so easy for harem beauties to take advantage. Li Shaoqing smiled proudly.
Li Yinyuan was surprised, looking at Li Shaoqing's smug appearance of smiling toothlessly, and laughed too.
Father-in-law Rui and Li Kaijiang on the side also relaxed.
"Open the territory, can the little pig have a big name?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Li Kaijiang immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister and the dog have not yet named Xiaoyi. ”
Li Shaoqing said in his heart: Look at his grandfather's reaction, how witty! Must give a thumbs up. He obviously heard his grandfather and his father discuss, and they all gave him a good name, and what was the name of the word is coming. Well, he didn't hear it clearly, either.
"I look at the little pig and call it Shaoqing."
When Li Kaijiang heard this, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him.
Shao Qing, I believe you, how can you bear to let me look at this plum tree and the scenery of this world alone!.
