Section 305 Reserve
The earthquake was severe, and the weather was getting hotter day by day.
There were many deaths and injuries in the affected areas, and the weather was hot, and flies and mosquitoes were rampant, and a terrible plague spread throughout the country. If the disaster area causes a widespread plague, it will be a new unrest.
The focus of the imperial court was on the food and shelter of the victims and the defense of border passes, and no one mentioned the health and safety issues in the disaster areas.
Zhu Zhongjun thought of it first.
He discussed with Gu Jinzhi: "Before the flood and earthquake, you led the team to the disaster area many times. Is post-disaster reconstruction as important as health defense? ”
Gu Jinzhi nodded.
"The imperial court should organize the epidemic yamen." Gu Jin's way, "Naturally, there is a doctor who will go back to the disaster area......"
Zhu Zhongjun frowned.
He said: "If my guess is right, the epidemic yamen should be the disaster area where the plague occurred, and the imperial court can think of it." Now, none of them are aware of hygiene and safety. If no one mentions it, I am afraid that the epidemic yamen will not be formed. ”
Gu Jinzhi was stunned.
"Ask someone to inquire about ......" Gu Jin said.
Zhu Zhongjun nodded.
Gu Jinzhi called the secretary and asked him to inquire outside to see if the Tai Hospital was in the establishment of the epidemic yamen, but he came back and said "no".
"It should still be mentioned." Gu Jin said, "Health and safety after the disaster are more important. If not handled properly, it can cause a plague. Now it's getting hot every day, and the wound is easy to rot......"
Zhu Zhongjun thought so.
He said, "Let's wait and see how the emperor deals with my illness." If it is regarded as a happy event to block the courtiers' criticism of his virtue, I will show it well. to make the emperor's arguments more sufficient; If it's a cover-up, let's not be in the limelight. ”
Gu Jinzhi nodded.
They have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the imperial court.
Gu Jinzhi also took the opportunity to tell his parents the news that Zhu Zhongjun was well.
Gu Yanzhen was still lying on the bed, and Song Pan'er sent a maid to serve him.
Hearing that Zhu Zhongjun was fine, Song Paner looked at him strangely and even wanted to poke him.
Gu Jinzhi sat aside and laughed.
In the evening, Song Paner went to the outer courtyard to see Gu Yanzhen, and told him the news again.
Gu Yanzhen was also stunned, and was stunned to see Zhu Zhongjun.
"Don't move yet." Song Pan'er said, "The day before yesterday, you had to go into the inner courtyard to eat, saying that it was okay to sit on a rattan chair." As a result, it hurt again last night. Don't toss anymore now. I'm going to call the prince to come and talk to you. ”
She asked Mu Qing to call Gu Jinzhi. Let Gu Jinzhi bring Zhu Zhongjun over.
Gu Yanzhen also looked at Zhu Zhongjun carefully, as if he wanted to see him through.
Zhu Zhongjun let them look at it, but he was funny in his heart, and he couldn't help but bring it out on his eyebrows.
Gu Yanzhen thinks. Zhu Zhongjun is no different from before.
"Really?" Gu Yanzhen asked Zhu Zhongjun. "How good. Do you remember the past? ”
"I don't remember much from before." Zhu Zhongjun smiled, "It's just that my mind is clearer now, and it's not as chaotic as usual." ”
The way he speaks is very different from what he used to be.
Gu Yanzhen knew that he was really good.
He couldn't help but be happy: "I'm about to get married." The prince is fine, it shows that our sister Jin is the lucky star in the prince's life! ”
Song Paner coughed.
She thought the same thing in her heart, but it was difficult to say it so bluntly.
Zhu Zhongjun smiled, glanced at Gu Jinzhi, who was smiling on the side, and said, "Yes." The queen mother and the royal brother also said that Xiaoqi is my lucky star. Today, the queen mother also rewarded Xiao Qi with a jade ring, which was given to the queen mother by her father and the queen mother's favorite. ”
His speech and thinking are more than clear, and he is even a little smart.
Gu Yanzhen was overjoyed.
Zhu Zhongjun is like a normal person, which is undoubtedly a great joy for Gu Yanzhen and his wife.
The two of them have been hoping that their daughter will marry well.
Zhu Zhongjun is handsome and noble-born, except for the fact that he is stupid, he is outstanding in other aspects.
Now that he is even stupid, he is undoubtedly a fast son-in-law of Chenglong.
"Mother, don't talk about it for the time being......" Gu Jinzhi told her mother.
Song Pan'er's happy heart was slightly cold, and she asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"This matter should be told by the emperor and the queen mother first, it is the safest. Just now, the earth dragon turned over, how to say it, you have to pay attention to it. Let's not spoil the emperor's affairs......" Gu Jin's way.
Song Pan'er thought for a moment and nodded.
The earth dragon turned over and caused so much damage that the courtiers were blaming the emperor.
But the emperor didn't want to be blamed by the courtiers all the time.
If there is one thing that proves that God is only a hint and not a blame, then the burden on the Emperor is lighter.
What could be a greater gift than a brother waking up?
This is what God has rewarded the emperor.
"Don't worry." Song Pan'er said, "How can my mother talk nonsense." ”
Then she pulled Gu Jinzhi again and asked her quietly, "After the prince is well, do you still remember you?" He used to listen to you. ”
Song Paner was worried that Zhu Zhongjun had recovered, his personality had changed, and he no longer cared for Gu Jinzhi.
People always want to be perfect.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and lowered his head without answering.
Song Paner didn't know if she was sad or happy, so she didn't ask more.
#######
Half a month after Dilong turned over, the relief grain and grass raised from Jiangsu and Anhui had already set off. The 50,000 elite soldiers mobilized from Shoucheng went to Juyong Pass for fortification.
After the matter was preliminarily decided, the canonization of the prince and the sacrifice to the heavens and ancestors were put on the agenda again.
The courtiers quarreled.
This time, they did not divide into two factions and quarrel with each other. Instead, they united as one and argued with the emperor. Whether it is the power of the Tan family or not, they are afraid of God's condemnation.
And everyone agreed that this was a great disaster from heaven, and that the emperor acted against the will of heaven.
The country has no prince, and the world is unstable.
This is the emperor's disobedience to heaven.
The emperor couldn't stand it anymore and finally agreed to make a prince.
The Ministry of Rites hurriedly chose a good day and an auspicious day.
Coincidentally, two days later. It is June 20th, which is an auspicious day, and everything is appropriate.
The Ministry of Rites reported to the Emperor.
The emperor did not dare to offend the public again, so he happily accepted the date: "The auspicious day of June 20 is an auspicious day, and the ceremony of establishing the reserve will be held on the 20th." The sacrificial items and preparations for the grand ceremony should have been handled by the Ministry of Rites. Due to the rush of time, the ceremony must not be missed, otherwise it will blaspheme the gods and ancestors. Acting in the Cabinet, assisted by the Ministry of Rites. ”
All the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor also smiled and said to everyone: "The so-called happy event is a double event. The king of Luyang was on the day when the earth dragon turned over. Unfortunately, he was hit by a roof beam. He was in a coma for four or five days. I and the Queen Mother were originally worried, but God was dissatisfied with my son and punished me. Who knows, after King Luyang woke up. The evidence of his stupidity is gone. Now smart and clever. I am very relieved. Since God has bestowed this great blessing, it shows that I am not blaming me for not establishing a prince. In the end, where is my virtue and loss, the secretaries need to visit again. I'm good at improving. ”
With that, he got up and left.
The eunuch hurriedly announced his retreat from the court.
Left behind a large hall of stunned courtiers.
The emperor came out of the main hall and let out a long breath of relief in his heart.
These days, he has been scolded by those ministers every day, but he has no position to refute it, and he has suffered a lot of anger.
Those ministers were not afraid of him at all.
They scolded the emperor, if the emperor was not punished by the doctor, the emperor himself would leave a notoriety for the ages, and he would have to live for the ministers who were punished.
He wouldn't be so stupid.
They scolded the emperor, and the emperor could not punish for the sake of the reputation of the emperor.
And they are all full of poems and books, and their scolding is also quoting scriptures, and the emperor has no way to refute it.
The fact that King Luyang woke up finally made the emperor refute it.
He couldn't help but be in a good mood.
He didn't know when Zhong Jun was good, but he knew that his mother and Zhong Jun used Gu Jinzhi to deceive him. When he first knew about this, he was angry with his mother and Zhong Jun, and angry with Gu Jinzhi, and for a while he felt that although he was the son of heaven, he was a traitor.
It wasn't until the love calmed down that he thought of the benefits of Zhong Jun's sudden awakening.
If he is desolate and lascivious, why should God show mercy to him and let his foolish brother come over?
agreed to make the crown prince because the emperor was also afraid of the purpose of the earth dragon turning over.
The courtiers said that he did not appoint a prince, and the emperor believed it.
But he was not willing to take it alone.
Now, he can not only be a wise man, but also bring the ministers back to the army.
The matter of establishing the queen, probably they don't dare to quarrel anymore.
This also bought time for the emperor.
He walked to his mother's Kunning Palace.
The Queen Mother is still copying Buddhist scriptures.
"Queen Mother, I have agreed to be crowned prince. The ceremony of building a reserve will be held the day after tomorrow. The Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites will prepare the rites of sacrifice and canonization. The emperor said to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was stunned.
"In such a hurry?" The Empress Dowager asked the emperor.
The emperor smiled: "The Tan family has been planning for several years, can you not be in a hurry?" I've been fighting them all day, and I'm really tired. The livelihood of the world is so important, but I have to fight with the courtiers every day to establish a prince, it is not worth it. Let's stand first......"
This made the Queen Mother's heart skip a beat.
What is "stand first"?
Are you still going to change?
The abolished prince will end up extremely bleak, and it will even be difficult to save his life. The emperor's words, how can the eldest prince deal with himself?
The emperor was not very satisfied with the eldest prince at the beginning.
Now that the Tan family is so noisy, the emperor dislikes the eldest prince even more, and even a little disgusted.
However, the second prince died in his birth, and the emperor had no other candidates.
Shangcang didn't help, and there was such a big disaster as the earth dragon turning over, which gave the Tan family an excuse.
"The emperor can't think like that!" The Queen Mother was gentle and kind, with a bit of fierceness in her eyes, "Since you have established the prince, you should teach the prince wholeheartedly for the sake of the world." If the emperor is dissatisfied with the crown prince, it will cause other people's minds to be moved. In the future, the emperor will have other princes, won't he let the brothers fall out of harmony? If this continues, the situation will inevitably be unstable, and the country will also be unstable. ”
The emperor was angry with the courtiers, the Tan family, and the eldest prince.
In front of the Queen Mother, he didn't hide anything.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother said this that he realized that he had gone too far.
No matter how angry you are, you can't take the prince to put out the fire.
His heart sank, and he said with a straight face: "What the queen mother said is very true, I remember it!" ”
