Chapter 101: Marriage!
Lalalala, monthly pass, monthly pass, monthly pass, last day lalala......
------Off topic------
Xia Chuqi lowered his eyelids slightly, leaned against him, and felt that the smell on his body was really good, very good. It seems to come from the taste of memory. I don't know when, it's already embedded in her bones......
ββ¦β¦ Bummer! β
Zhao Jun glanced back at the beauty couch behind him, his breathing became heavier, and there was a difficult sigh in his tone, "Either give you a hundred taels, or you will throw you on the couch again and rectify it well." β
"Do what?" Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to come to me again?" I owe you the one hundred taels, and I haven't paid it back yet. β
"One hundred taels."
Looking down at her, Zhao Zhu's eyes deepened.
ββ¦β¦β
"me...... Pay attention to your appearance! β
The head leaned on his shoulder, Xia Chuqi smelled the faint and indifferent fragrance from his body, and couldn't help but blush, only to feel that his body was uncomfortable by him, and he couldn't help but pull it out irritably.
"The carriage has been prepared outside, this time I will spare you first."
"That's not up to you." Zhao Zhu's voice was low, and he kissed it again with a little heavy gasp, until the hand unconsciously touched the buckle on her neckline$1$ζ¬$Read$Novel(.( yb)(d)(u).), only then did he suddenly realize it, gasped and stopped, reached out and hugged her, wrapped her around himself, and strode out.
Her body was slightly hot, clasped his hand, and said shyly, "I said no." β
"I still want to ......"
"No...... It's all saliva...... Don't you hate ......"
After kissing for a long time, she reached out to push him until she was almost out of breath.
Zhao Zhu said in a low voice, holding the edge of the beauty couch with both hands, he lowered his head, pressed her heavily on the cushion of the beauty couch, and gnawed her lips lightly. Xia Chuqi said "hmm" a few times, and finally closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare indifferent time.
"Huh? Then let's think about it slowly......"
With a pouting of his lips, Xia Chuqi lay down and said, "I haven't thought about it yet?" β
"Chengguo Mansion."
"Where?"
Glancing at her with a complicated expression, Zhao Yu didn't explain carefully, and said lightly, "Since you're awake, let's go." β
"Idle is idle."
"Who says I don't know? I'll know when you touch me. Unlike some people......" Thinking that he had only been "light" last night, Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows proudly, but as soon as the words came out, she swallowed them back, and she didn't say anything, and changed the topic thinking that she was very embarrassed, "Why didn't you go to the camp?" Coming back so early? β
"Don't send everyone away next time, you don't know when you fall asleep."
Zhao Jun let go of the thin blanket, his face full of displeasure.
"Coming back?"
With a frown on his brows, he walked in lightly, took the book from her face, and gently took the thin blanket beside her, and was about to cover her, but saw her suddenly open her eyes and yawn.
As soon as Zhao Zhu entered the house, he saw this situation.
When she went back to the house and drank the black chicken soup, she felt that the whole person was warm and comfortable. Sent the two little girls to play by themselves, she lay alone on the beauty couch where Zhao Zhu had been lying last night, lazily looking at his book, and before she knew it, the book finally read her and fell on her face, and she fell asleep again.
But it's good to think about it, she happened to have her aunt here, and she soaked in cold water yesterday, so it's just right to drink this thing.
Zhao Nineteen's brain pumped, right?
Cold? But this black chicken soup is full of herbs that nourish and invigorate blood?
Xia Chuqi leaned over to open the lid, sniffed it more carefully, and couldn't help squinting his eyes.
Meizi hurriedly replied with a smile, "The lord said that the county lord suffered from some wind and cold, so he specially sent us over to stew the black chicken soup for the county lord, saying that it was for the county lord to make up for his body......"
"Hey, what is this?"
No matter what they thought, Xia Chuqi had always been used to going his own way, his eyes rolled a little, he grinned, and saw the tray in their hands again. Sniffing carefully, I smelled a smell of medicine, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Qinglan didn't dare to refute, although it was only the beginning of spring in February, she felt as if it was summer, and sweat was pouring down her back. Think about a dignified county lord, shouting "lover lover" all day long, how can he be born?
"Don't worry, if you want to kill someone, he will definitely kill me first, and he will definitely not be able to kill you."
Xia Chuqi smiled, walked over and patted her shoulder comfortingly, smiling indifferently.
The girl's forehead jumped suddenly, and she quickly knelt down, "The slave doesn't dare, the master will kill the slave." β
"That's right, it's the lover - Qinglan, the lover...... That's nice! β
"Love, love?"
"Your name is Qinglan!"
Looking at her appearance, she was a calm and generous girl, thinking that Zhao Zhu was afraid that she would not be used to the people there when she went to the Chengguo Mansion, so she pointed someone over to wait first, right? "Sure enough, there is a mother's child like a treasure!" She sighed inappropriately, and after careful consideration, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The girl was blessed again, "The slave will be the maid of the county lord in the future, and the name should be taken by the county lord." β
Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's your name?" β
The girl bowed her head slightly, and asked for a peace, "The slave maid was sent by the master to serve the county lord." β
Tugging the corners of her mouth, she shook her head with a smile, and looked at the girl next to Meizi who looked a little older, "Who is this sister?" β
That's a lot of pressure!
The black line on his head was floating, but after being reminded by Meizi, Xia Chuqi suddenly realized that he was now a person with "multiple identities". It's too complicated to think about, and there is a feeling of carrying countless burdens on your shoulders. Xia Chu wants her to take revenge, Xia Chuqi wants to be free, Dongfang Qingxuan wants her to be a secret spy, Zhao Zhu wants her to be the lord of Jingyi, and she is still the wife that Zhao Mianze is waiting to marry......
As soon as she shouted two words, she patted her mouth and said with a smile, "The slave is wrong, the slave and the maid see the lord of Jingyi." β
"Chu Qi ......"
As soon as Meizi saw her, she immediately smiled and trotted over.
"Also, little plum, why are you here?"
With a snap of his fingers, Xia Chuqi pulled the hem of his overly long skirt and shouted with a smile.
One of them was none other than Meizi, who was supposed to be in the Jin Palace, and another girl, two girls holding a tray and whispering something. As he spoke, he walked over with a smile.
She wore her hair loose, stretched out, hummed a little tune, and prepared to wander around the garden to enjoy the rare silence. But as soon as I walked a short distance, I saw two people coming out of the direction of the kitchen.
When she woke up, she walked out of the bedroom door and began to take a serious look at the house. I don't know how much silver Zheng Erbao's dead eunuch embezzled, although this house is not particularly spacious, it looks small and chic. The flowers and trees in the yard are sparse, elegant and unassuming, in exchange for the later generations, the decoration here is full of "petty bourgeoisie" taste, which is not luxurious from a visual point of view, but it is very stylish.
There were many major events in the palace, but Xia Chuqi didn't know anything about it.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
As soon as she spoke, the temple was in an uproar.
"Old nineteen, the queen mother doesn't understand state affairs, but in family affairs, the queen mother still thinks that the happiness of her children and grandchildren should be more important, and now Her Majesty has agreed. The queen mother will let the daughter of the Oriental family be a side concubine for you, okay? β
Speaking of this intermittently, Emperor Hongtai's brows were already furrowed, and His Royal Highness was shocked that what she was going to say, and they all felt that it was inappropriate, and their eyes showed surprise. But the more Empress Zhang spoke, the more excited she became, and she gasped even more, and there were already tears in her eyes.
"Ahem! Cough......! Empress Zhang coughed heavily, gasped and whispered, "Back then, the daughter of the Dongfang family was originally the daughter-in-law personally selected by the queen mother for you. But providence makes people...... Now that the boss is gone, the daughter of the Dongfang family is also a child with a hard life, and the queen mother heard that in the past few years, she has never slept for the boss......"
Zhao Jun frowned, "Queen Mother, why did you say this?" β
"Old nineteen, the queen mother couldn't stand you back then, and now she wants to make it up to you."
Empress Zhang laughed, her face wrinkled deepen, and deep wrinkles formed on both sides of her mouth.
"Queen Mother's ......"
Zhao Zhu's eyes narrowed shallowly, looking at her pale and weak appearance, and the Adam's apple slid slightly, before slowly walking over and squatting in front of her bed.
"Old Nineteen, come forward."
Empress Zhang was about to get up with her body propped up, but was stopped by the old emperor. Seeing that she couldn't resist him, Queen Zhang just sat up and leaned on the pillow, coughed heavily again, and then beckoned to Zhao Zhu.
"The concubine thanked Your Majestyβ"
"Okay, whatever you say, I will depend on you."
Such a request is a bit difficult for a strong man, especially for an emperor. But Emperor Hongtai was silent for a while, knowing that he, the queen, would not ask too much, and always thought about him everywhere, so he still nodded in the end.
Empress Zhang sighed heavily, "Your Majesty, you promise the concubine first, and the concubine dares to speak." β
"Queen, you say."
Emperor Hong Taidi couldn't stand her tone like her last words, and her voice was quite hoarse.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has one more request."
Empress Zhang seemed to be satisfied, and a smile appeared on her pale face, and then she said.
Zhao Goucheng was terrified, and quickly knelt down, "Yes, Erchen obeys the order." β
Emperor Hong Taidi frowned and patted her hand, "Okay, I promise you." After that, he turned back to look at Qin King Zhao Gou, "Second brother, you go back to Qin Tianjian to choose a day." The eldest is gone, as the second brother and the clan order, you are in charge of the clan's marriage, you should take these responsibilities and prepare for your brother's wedding. β
In fact, after following him for so many years, Empress Zhang is rarely stubborn.
"Your Majesty, you promise your concubine first."
Shaking her head abruptly, Empress Zhang looked at him very stubbornly.
"Queen, I know all these things, although I am old, I am not confused. You should rest your body, don't worry about the affairs of your children and grandchildren, and when you have raised your body and bones well, and raised them as strong as me, I will take you to see my great country...... Over the years, I have really wronged you......"
She said very slowly, every word was like a bellows in her throat, extremely difficult and miserable, until Emperor Hong Taidi's eyes turned red, silently stroked her arm, and sighed heavily.
"Your Majesty, although the boss has just passed away in mourning, and it is not easy to marry, but the concubine thinks, the way of heaven is difficult and things are changeable, so it is better to choose a good day early and do it for the old nineteen, right? The concubine is afraid, I'm afraid that it's too late, and I won't be able to see the children of the old nineteen families......"
"Yes, I know, didn't I promise the daughter of the Chengguo family?"
Everyone thought that Empress Zhang would take this opportunity to ask for Zhao Xi's life, but they never thought that she would sigh a few times, but looked at Zhao Zhu, who had been standing silently, and gasped, "Your Majesty, these children, all of them have grown up under the watchful concubines, and now most of them have married wives and had children, and the concubines can rest assured that they will not be old nineteen...... There are more than twenty people, and there is no warm person in the house. β
"Queen, you say." Emperor Hong Taidi nodded.
Empress Zhang coughed a few times, took the water from the palace maid's hand and rinsed her mouth, and then with the support of the old emperor, she trembled and asked crookedly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine still has something to ask for."
These words are very embarrassing, the old emperor who had just played a majestic role in the main hall before, now sitting on Empress Zhang's bed, seems to have become the husband and father of ordinary people. It's a pity that when Empress Zhang heard this, she only smiled faintly. There is a lot of respect on the face, but there is no half of the sincere touch. The relationship between husband and wife in the emperor's house is like this, she may have looked forward to a lot, but after a few decades, that heart may have died a long time ago.
"What is Jun? What is a minister? In this Kunning Palace, you are their mother, their grandmother, my wife, and they are all a family. β
Empress Zhang coughed heavily, "Your Majesty, the children are here, don't lose your honor." β
"Queen, you are my cat."
"That's nature, I remember...... "It was the first cave in his life, and on the night of the cave house, he told his wife the same way, he was a mouse, he was a cat, and no matter how big a mouse was, he was afraid of cats. It's just that forty years ago, in front of him was a shy, beautiful girl. Now, the woman lying on the phoenix couch has half-white hair, leaving a face of vicissitudes and dull yellow. In a moment of excitement, his hands trembled a little.
"I can't think of it, Your Majesty still remembers."
Empress Zhang was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"Queen, no matter how big the mouse is, it is afraid of cats."
Looking at his old wife's pale face, Emperor Hong Tai suddenly remembered a past incident. When he first recruited concubines, he once asked Empress Zhang's opinion, and at that time, Empress Zhang also said this to him. Now that he heard it again, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but feel it.
Empress Zhang's face was slightly astringent, and she said weakly, "Your Majesty can't say that, you are the king, the concubine is the minister, and the concubine is the one who listens to you." β
"Okay." Emperor Hong Tai sighed helplessly, didn't care that his children and grandchildren followed, and clenched Empress Zhang's hand, "Whatever you say, I will rely on you." β
Empress Zhang blinked hard, "Your Majesty spared Imperial Doctor Jiang, right?" β
"Queen, don't speak, make less effort, I have my own decision..."
Emperor Hong Taidi sat on the edge of her bed, his lips moved several times, and finally he snorted and squeezed her hand.
"Your Majesty......" Empress Zhang on the sickbed shouted to him tremblingly and crookedly, stopping him from getting angry, and gasped for several breaths before saying, "Imperial Doctor Jiang has done his best, it is the concubine who is not angry, don't affect others." I will raise it again, and when the weather warms up, it will be fine. β
"You're incompetent, so you should be pulled down, skinned and cramped......"
Emperor Hong Tai was furious and kicked him.
"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent."
The palace maids, eunuchs, and grandmothers came and went, and the Imperial Doctor Jiang of the Tai Hospital, who was the chief physician of Empress Zhang, had been breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead. Seeing the old emperor coming in with a few princes, he knelt down on the spot.
This time, the Kunning Palace is very busy.
When it comes to cutting off the head of the imperial doctor, of course it won't really be cut off.
It was probably at this time that he found out that he was reluctant to follow his old wife all his life.
The preciousness of man lies in the imminent loss, even if he is an emperor.
However, Empress Zhang's health has deteriorated, especially since the death of the crown prince and the usurpation of the throne by the third son, she has never gotten out of bed. At this moment, Emperor Hong Tai was panicked and ran to Kunning Palace almost every day.
Emperor Hong Tai used to respect her, but before she fell ill, he, like most men, basically didn't remember him as a wife except for routine palace affairs.
Men, when they were young, they were romantic, and they were the sons of heaven, they admired young women, and there were countless favorite concubines in the harem, which was simply a sure thing. As his wife, this queen Zhang followed Emperor Hongtai at the age of fourteen, but she has been the same for decades, she is not jealous or anxious, and her personality is gentle.
I have to say that young couples and old companions are not false at all.
These days, Empress Zhang's body has been unpleasant, so that Emperor Hongtai, who has always been diligent in government, has shortened the time of going to the court, and sometimes moves political affairs to Kunning Palace to handle.
"A group of wine bags and rice bags from the Tai Hospital, I'm going to cut them, and I'm going to cut them all......"
As soon as he heard the words of the little eunuch, Emperor Hong Taidi dropped the teacup on the spot and had a seizure.
"Mother, she vomited a lot of blood......"
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother...... Oh no......"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Hongtai had not yet spoken, and the little eunuch who had given the order outside hurriedly came in again, his face pale.
"The son knows his mistake, and the son is guilty."
Zhao Gou's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly got down from the chair and knelt on the ground.
"Yes, it's Father."
But who knew that after listening to it, Emperor Hong Tai's face sank, and he said coldly: "You will be a bad and good person, I let him go to the Zongren Mansion, not to enjoy happiness, but to let him suffer." Go back and quickly evacuate all the palace people for me. Dare to force the palace to usurp the throne, how can I spare him? β
Everyone originally thought that Emperor Hong Tai had come to Zhao Gou to explore the wind, and he would give Zhao Xi a chance to go down the steps. First, after all, it is his own son, and second, Queen Zhang is seriously ill these days and always misses her son.
Zhao Gou nodded, "Erchen didn't dare to deceive his father, the third child was indeed sincerely repentant, and, there's that, Erchen saw that he was deprived of his title, and he was afraid that the people in the Zongren Mansion would bully him, so he specially arranged someone for him...... Waiting......"
After a while, he looked at Zhao Gou again, "Is he really like this?" β
For a while, Emperor Hong Taidi was silent.
He was resigned, paused, and said with a straight look.
"Back to his father, the third child is very obedient, and he writes poems and writes every day in the Zongren Mansion...... No, I wrote the scriptures, saying that I wanted to repent and pray for the blessings of the Great Yan River, well, and also, I wanted to pray for the blessings of my father and mother......"
When it comes to Zhao Xi, who forced the palace to usurp the throne, Zhao Gou's words are quite slow, and every question seems to have to be considered for a long time before being answered, and it doesn't look like a wise master.
Emperor Hong Tai glanced at him and excused him, because he was not in good health, and specially gave him a seat. I first asked him how he was doing in the past few days, why he didn't enter the palace to visit his mother Yunyun, and finally asked about Zhao Xi's situation in the Zongren Mansion.
"The son knocks to see his father, and his father is safe!"
Zhao Gou was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, thin as a bamboo pole in the wind, pale, cool and haggard, at first glance, he looked like he had not gone out for a long time, and he was trembling and crooked when he walked in from the entrance of the palace, making people afraid that he would be blown away by the wind of the temple.
Soon the people came in.
If from the perspective of the ancestral system of the death of the elder brother and the succession of the younger brother, the crown prince Zhao Zhe is the eldest son, and if he dies, he should be succeeded by the second son of the emperor, Zhao Gou, the king of Qin. But Zhao Gou is a person, although he is the Zongren Order of the Zongren Mansion, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and is in charge of the affairs of the royal family, but the Zongren Mansion is actually not a key department. In addition, Zhao Gou has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he often does not go to the court because he is sick, and it seems that he has been avoiding the situation in the court intentionally or unintentionally, and he has not seen which brother he is too good with, so although some people propose that he should be appointed as the prince, he himself does not seem to have the slightest will.
Zhao Gou, the king of Qin, was the second son of the old emperor and the son of Empress Zhang.
While he was talking, a little eunuch came to report that His Royal Highness King Qin had come down.
However, having lost his military power, Zhao Zhu was still as elegant as the breeze, and his face was expressionless, as if he didn't care at all.
Father, father and son, monarch and minister, this is the most tangled relationship in the world.
Some people will naturally sigh that it is not worth it for Zhao Zhu. Since ancient times, when the birds are gone, the good bow must be hidden, and those who enjoy the blessings are not the ones who fight the world. At the beginning, when Dayan was everywhere and the Quartet was smoking, Zhao Zhu was the Shenwu general who led the world's soldiers and horses. Now that Dayan is everywhere in fertile soil, singing and dancing are sublimated, he has become the king of Shenwu generals, with one more word "king", but he has lost the right to transfer troops and has an empty title.
Everyone has a game of chess in their hearts, but they are all bright.
Emperor Hong Taidi smiled, his voice was warm, and he said a lot of words of sympathy, but Zhao Zhu's face was always indifferent, nothing to do, nothing to do. However, everyone present knew that at this critical time for the establishment of the reserve, Emperor Hong Tai's purpose in doing this was not necessarily because he was afraid of Zhao Zhu, but he must be adding weight to Zhao Mianze. Who doesn't know that Xia Tingde, the Duke of Wei, is Zhao Mianze's father-in-law, and he handed over the power of the world's soldiers and horses to him, isn't that obviously to help Zhao Mianze?
"From now on, the right to dispatch the three major battalions of the Golden Guard Army will be returned to the military headquarters. In addition, Xie Changjin also asked for an edict saying that Xia Tingde, the Duke of Wei, was brave and could take on this important responsibility, and I also thought so. Therefore, put the Jin Weijun in the hands of Wei Guogong, you can rest assured. But you have to remember that you are still my Shenwu General King, once the country is in trouble and the foreign enemy raises troops, you have to personally put on the battle to ......"
Obviously, Emperor Hong Taidi was waiting for him to say this.
"That'...... All right. β
"What my father said is very true, my son is about to go to Beiping Mansion to take office, and I want to ask my father to resign. Now that the talisman has been handed in, the retainers can also be free to handle the wedding at home. β
Zhao Zun knew it in his heart, looked at Emperor Hong Tai, and gave it up indifferently.
Sighing, Emperor Hong Tai's face sank slightly, "This Xie Changjin is just impatient." Now that there is a drought in the south, heavy snow in the north, and repeated invasions by small surrounding countries, I think that having the old nineteen in the army is the best way to stabilize the morale of the army and suppress the enemy. However, Xie Changjin united many old ministers to intercede, which can be stated as important, and I can't refute him for a while...... Especially when it comes to the errand of the military department. I can't doubt that I use people, they have played many times, and I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore......"
If there is nothing, he lifted the corner of his lower lip, and Zhao Zhu's face did not change, "It is all up to my father to decide." β
After a pause, he didn't say any more, and only looked at Zhao Zhu lightly.
Emperor Hong Tai's eyes flashed slightly, stared at him, nodded, as if thinking for a while, before frowning and saying, "Today, Xie Changjin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, played a game, and I was originally going to discuss it in the court. But after thinking about it, I decided to ask your opinion privately first. Xie Changjin said, "You will go to Beiping Mansion in the near future, and now that there is an endless war on the Beidi side, in order to facilitate the transfer of troops by the Ministry of War, you should take back the military power in your hands......"
He will always be like this, fresh and cold, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Erchen doesn't have an opinion."
"It's all a family here, let's talk about it."
Zhao Zhu stepped forward to give a salute and said lightly: "Erchen is a martial artist, and it is really not suitable to participate in politics!" β
Emperor Hong Tai's frowning brows loosened, waved his hand to let Zhao Mianze get up first, thought about it, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Zhu, "Old Nineteen, what do you think?" β
For a long time, no one else spoke.
After he finished speaking quietly, the expression on his face was sincere, and the hall was quiet for a moment.
Zhao Mianze knelt down first, "The emperor's grandfather was in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and my father had just passed away, so my grandson thinks that there is really no need to rush the matter of establishing a prince." Moreover, the grandson thinks that the grandson's talent is not as good as the nineteenth uncle, and the grandson's identity is not as good as the second uncle, so it is really difficult to take on this important task......"
"I don't know what you think about today's court affairs?"
"Hmm." Closing his eyes slightly, Emperor Hongtai lifted the lid of the tea, blew the scalding water, took a sip, and then raised his eyelids, looked at the several princes and grandsons called in front of him, suddenly put down the teacup, and sighed heavily.
"Your Majesty......"
Cui Yingda handed the brewed ginseng tea to Emperor Hong Taidi's hands.
The temple of the body.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Before Emperor Hongtai withdrew from the Fengtian Palace, he specially instructed the chamberlain to leave a few sons and grandsons to wait in the palace. In the end, he summoned Cui Yingda again and sent someone to the Qin Palace, inviting Zhao Gou, the king of Qin, who was "unwell and inconvenient to go to court", to see him in the palace.
But the more this is the case, the more ferocious the undercurrent in private becomes.
The emperor has the majesty of the emperor, and Emperor Hongtai is an incomprehensible emperor with a deep city, and his words are here, and the matter is concluded. The matter of establishing the reserve will be discussed later, for the people of each camp, in fact, there is no win or loss, and everyone still has hope.
"Retreatβ"
The people below sweated on their backs and secretly speculated, but Emperor Hong Tai softened his tone again, "All the ministers have worked day and night for the sake of Dayan Sheji, and they are very relieved. However, the matter has been decided, and there is no need to mention it again. There is also the matter of establishing a prince, I thought that I would not be able to die for a while and a half, and now there is the second grandson of the emperor, Mianze, who is worried about me, and I can last another ten or twenty years, let's discuss it later. β
Emperor Hongtai had to take into account the opinions of the princes and ministers, but the princes and ministers also clearly knew that the old emperor was not a person who was indecisive, and once he decided something, it was difficult to change it. However, the establishment of the prince is a major national event, not only related to the fate of the society, but more importantly, it is also related to the future life fate of the courtiers, and even the fate of their families.
So, the game froze there.
If there was no appearance of Zhao Mianhuan, Emperor Hongtai insisted on setting up Zhao Mianze as the prince, and he could still have a basis for the ancestral system and get the support of many people. But now that a Zhao Mianhuan has come out alive, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor in the real sense, the eldest grandson, but he is a fool again.
I have to say that the bureau that Zhao Xi laid out before was still very good.
But now, even if he is the emperor and there are many people who oppose him, it is difficult for him to directly issue an order to establish a prince.
Of course, none of these people who can meet the emperor in the court are fools, Emperor Hongtai only said that he would give his sons to go to various places to be vassal kings, but he did not say how his grandson arranged, his tone was easy to hear, and he still belonged to Zhao Mianze for the position of prince.
The princes and ministers all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look at the people in the seat again.
Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the temple suddenly fell silent.
One soft and one hard, one hard and one soft, he is very good.
Emperor Hongtai has always known how to balance the court and control his ministers.
Before the man finished speaking, Emperor Hongtai's eyes were already annoyed, "According to your meaning, my sons are all ill-intentioned?" will all form parties for personal gain, will all go their own way, and will bring troops to Beijing to usurp my throne? β
"Your Majesty thinks twice, it is not a good policy to divide the feudal king, once the feudal king sits big, the consequences will be unimaginable......"
As soon as the old emperor proposed, some people in the court immediately objected.
It's just that it hasn't been implemented before, but since Zhao Zhu will go to Beiping Mansion, the Jin Wangfu over there will be built, and the princes are also ready to move. The old emperor had more than a dozen sons, and not everyone could continue the throne, so being able to go to the fief and be a vassal king was actually an excellent choice for most princes. In the fiefdom, the vassal king is the boss, and he doesn't need to be subject to so much moderation, so why not?
The old emperor had this idea for a long time.
After that, without waiting for His Highness's people to object, he changed his words and suddenly said, "The matter of establishing a prince can be done slowly, but at the moment, I have a matter that must be resolved as soon as possible." According to my intentions, I still want to divide all my princes into different places, each as a vassal king, I don't know if your ministers have any objections? β
Seeing that several people knelt on the ground to plead guilty, Emperor Hongtai snorted coldly, "Okay, I have my own decision on the matter of establishing a prince, and I will definitely refer to the advice of your ministers." While learning the lessons of the previous dynasty, I also have to be flexible when it is time to be flexible. This matter will be discussed later! β
"The minister didn't dare to ......"
"Wechen didn't dare to ......"
"Is it because I'm going to die? Are you arguing so much? β
Several first-class officials quarreled endlessly in court, which was really unorthodox. Especially this kind of quarrel, it will be staged almost every day, and sometimes it will quarrel from up to down, showing an increasingly violent wind, which makes Hong Taidi who is sitting on the dragon chair look very ugly.
"Enough!"
Xia Tingde said again, "Besides, there are too many things in the world that are rumored to be false, and the gossip is done by people with intentions, or is it really true?!" Hmph, this kind of thing, I'm afraid only you, Liang Guogong, will believe it! Your Majesty is a dignified son of heaven, how can he ignore the rules of the heir because of rumors? β
"You ......"
"Liang Guogong!" Before he could finish speaking, Xia Tingde intercepted his words and retorted, "Liang Guogong, you just said that there is no precedent for succession from generation to generation, and there is no ancestral system. So may I ask you, is Liyan orthodox, or is Lishu orthodox? There is no precedent for a concubine to inherit the unification, right? β
Xu Wenlong was annoyed and strode forward, "How can this be reasonable!" Lu Huaming, you are in the opposite tune, right? Pushing the back picture of the heavenly machine to warn Gu is disregarded? Do you care about the feelings of the people in the world? The second grandson of the emperor is young, that is, he has not made any contributions, nor has he established a career, how can he afford this heavy responsibility? Therefore, Your Majesty, according to what your subordinates see, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has all the virtues and talents, and the people praise them, and the subjects worship and obey ......"
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty is the first emperor of the ages, there are no conventions, no rules, can't Your Majesty make your own rules? Does Liang Guogong mean that His Majesty cannot compete with the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors? β
Xia Tingde hadn't finished speaking, but Lu Huaming, the secretary of the ministry, stood up.
Xu Wenlong ignored him, and only continued to look at Emperor Hongtai and said, "Besides, from ancient times to the present, His Majesty has never heard of the succession of the throne from one generation to the next, and there is no precedent for the ancestral system to escape ......."
"Liang Guogong, how can your subordinates deface Your Majesty's intentions? You don't want to spew blood. β
Xia Tingde was robbed by him in court, and his old face was red.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is talking nonsense, what did he say that now that the country is stable, he needs to cultivate and recuperate, and he needs a benevolent monarch to govern the country? Don't you say that Your Majesty is not generous and merciful enough? Besides, the eldest grandson of the emperor referred to by the Duke of Wei Guo, his subordinates don't know which one he refers to? β
After a loud roar, he probably found that he had lost his manners, looked left and right, and quickly knelt down in embarrassment.
This old Xu family was originally a relative of the old emperor, Xu Wenlong's mother was the old emperor's own sister, his father had followed the old emperor to fight earlier, and he was named the Duke of Liang, but he had no life to enjoy happiness and died on the battlefield. This Xu Wenlong can also be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, brave and good at fighting, and in the early years, he had made a lot of meritorious contributions to Beidi Xirong. In addition to the hereditary Duke of Liang, the old emperor also crowned him as the crown prince and prince. Xu Wenlong has always been vigorous and resolute, so naturally he can't see Zhao Mianze's soft grandson as the prince. So he has always been Zhao Zhu's most powerful supporter.
The person who spoke with a loud voice was Liang Guogong Xu Wenlong.
"Your Majestyβ"
Emperor Hong Tai nodded slightly, and was about to speak, when there was another voice in the court.
"Your Majesty, now that the country is stable and the sea is initially determined, it is the time when the country needs to cultivate and recuperate, and it needs a generous, benevolent and righteous king. The old minister thinks that the emperor's eldest grandson is generous and generous, which is quite beneficial to the legacy of the prince, and he never acts evil with others, and is the best choice for the continuation of the country......"
Xia Tingde is Zhao Mianze's father-in-law, and is a close confidant of Emperor Hongtai, so he naturally understands the mystery of this.
"Xia Aiqing thinks, which prince is up to the task?"
Emperor Hong Tai stroked the hand of the dragon chair and slid it slightly.
Listening to his sighs, no one in the Fengtian Hall showed the slightest emotion.
People who engage in politics will tear the people of the world at every turn, and this is the norm.
"Your Majesty, since the founding of the country, Your Majesty has inherited the destiny of the heavens, the strong enemy outside, the people of Li inside, the virtuous and capable, the good and the brave, and achieved this indefatigable foundation, so that the people of the world can see the eternal peaceful scene, which is really the mandate of heaven, and my lord is very talented. Only now, Prince Yide is gone, and the country has no prince, and there will be woe. I also ask Your Majesty to set up a prince for Dayan as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people in the world. β
No, as soon as he shouted "Performance", Xia Tingde, the Duke of Wei, made an exception.
In one sentence: the undercurrent is surging, rushing and rubbing, and it is endless.
Since the death of the crown prince, the old emperor's imperial case about the prince is about to pile up. The dead are dead but quiet, but the living will continue to fight endlessly for power. For the sake of their own interests, the princes and ministers had their own opinions, and each had their own camp and position.
In a country, no matter whether it is smooth or calamitous in the eyes of the people, there will never be a trivial matter in the court. Now the Great Yan Dynasty is strong, and the small affiliated countries of the Quartet have come to pay tribute, and some people come to ask for the decree today, and some people will come to ask for the decree to be crowned king tomorrow, and so on There are more and more miscellaneous things. Especially these days, the entire court has been surging for the matter of "establishing a reserve".
This is the majesty of the emperor.
The people on the throne of the golden luan in the Fengtian Temple are extremely majestic, under the Dan Zhang, one left and one right stood two cases of brocade guards, just waiting for the officials of the Honglu Temple to sing into the class, the civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted "Long live, long live, long live, long live".
The civil officials are in the east and the military attaches are in the west, and they stand according to their ranks.
Princes and princes, civil and military officials, each with court clothes, entered in turn from outside the Fengtian Gate.
The sound of the whip can be heard far away in the empty palace!
"Bang Bang-"
Before dawn, the emperor was about to ascend to the palace, and the inner attendant sounded the whip.
The old emperor was too diligent and had to go to court almost every day.
She didn't know when she had fallen asleep, but the next day when it was dawning, she woke up once and felt the footsteps of Zhao Zun as he approached the bed. But he came in, but didn't move her, just leaned over to look at her for a while, tucked the quilt for her, and went out lightly.
Disorderly! The brain is messed up!
Can you really not mind? Men in later generations mind, but a feudal prince doesn't mind?
Scratching her head, thinking about "family and country affairs", she soon lost her mind again, her mind was unconsciously pulled back, thinking of the feeling when she was overbearing by Zhao Tuo and running away with the big bird, thinking of the broken emotions in his eyes when she told him that she had ** to Dongfang Qingxuan, and also thought of the words he said after struggling - he said he didn't mind.
And the lie she told to Zhao Bottle today, how should she face Zhao Bottle and Dongfang Qingxuan in the future? If she followed Zhao Zhu to Beiping Mansion, how should she rehabilitate the people of the Wei Mansion? In fact, strictly speaking, Xia Chu's affairs have nothing to do with her. But she probably occupied this body for too long, and because of some of Xia Chu's residual memories that bothered her from time to time, she felt more and more that Xia Chu's affairs were her affairs.
It was so fast that she thought it would take a little time to digest.
These things change too quickly.
Unexpectedly, a neutralization festival seemed to not only disrupt the rhythm of everything, but also destroy her original plan. The fool was found, but the prince died. She is no longer the good doctor of the Jin Palace, nor is she the master of the horse, but she has become the Jingyi County Lord of the Chengguo Mansion, and she is about to be promised to be the concubine of the King of Jin.
Except that the eldest aunt was not very comfortable when she came, she was a little worried about what happened next.
There are too many things on a person's mind, and the distance from Zhou Gong is even farther.
After washing the blood-stained pestle, Xia Chuqi turned around and found a bedroom, fell down and slept wrapped in a quilt. But I thought I was sleepy, and when I went to sleep, I found that I didn't sleep very well.
