In the blink of an eye, the filial piety period on the 27th has expired, Ying Guogong and An Guohou received the summons to the palace to attend the banquet, the two princes have eaten countless wine banquets in their lives, and the royal banquet has not been eaten, but this time it is different, the emperor is feasting in the Qingliang Hall of Zichen Palace, the fragrance of flowers in the Qingliang Hall floats, the wisps of air double-layer Eight Treasures Silver Bingjian exudes cool air, and the wind wheel rotates to bring a room of coolness.

Ying Guogong and An Guohou came first, sitting here and waiting.

After a while, Zhou Yun came over with the prince, Zhou Yun was wearing a black jacquard shirt with a bright yellow trim on the collar, and a gold crown with a bun on his head, and the little prince was also wearing the same style of shorts and shorts, combing two braids, looking at the two old men curiously, the old man was dressed rigorously, and it was not good to wear the regular clothes at home when he saw the emperor.

The two dukes and Hou hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, Zhou Yun stepped forward and held on, with a slight strength in his hand, not letting these two bow down, this is honest, the emperor most of the time just a little bit of a hand, just talking about kindness.

"Get along in private, and those national gifts are exempted." Zhou Yun smiled at Xiao Qingyu and said, "I haven't seen your grandfather yet." ”

The little prince looked at Li Mingwei and bowed down, and the child's voice was loud, "Qing'er has seen grandpa." ”

Li Mingwei hurriedly avoided a handful and picked up Qingyu, "Kill the old minister." ”

Looking at Yuxue's lovely little grandson, Li Mingwei had tears in his eyes, he had lived for half his life, so many children, Hou Ye Li was reluctant to let go of this hug, the little prince had half of his blood and bones, how could he not like it.

The emperor looked at Ying Guogong and sighed faintly, "I grew up next to him, he didn't hug me when I was a child." ”

Ying Guogong coughed dryly, Li Mingwei's body stiffened, looking at the little prince who looked like the emperor, and remembered that Brother Shen called him daddy when he was a child, and wanted him to hold it.

Li Mingwei embarrassed his old face, "The old minister, the old minister is panicking." ”

The little prince shouted again, "Grandpa Fang, Qing'er has seen Grandpa Fang." ”

The little prince was still in Li Mingwei's arms, so he hugged his fist and bowed to Ying Guogong twice, Ying Guogong's eyes were slightly red, and he quickly stood up and said with a smile, "The old minister doesn't dare to be, Prince Wan'an." ”

Ying Guogong turned to the emperor and said, "The old minister doesn't dare to be the title of the crown prince. ”

Zhou Yun smiled, "I also called your uncle, have you ever forgotten?" At that time, when I came to your house, you gave me enough hardship, and you punished me for squatting and grinding. ”

Zhou Yun's voice was brisk, and he started to get up, and he didn't put the emperor on the shelf at all.

Ying Guogong understood in his heart that the emperor's gesture was coming, so he smiled, "The old minister doesn't know the identity of His Majesty, and he is a little presumptuous in his actions. ”

Zhou Yun sighed slightly, "When I was a child, I wanted to see the Gobi yellow sand outside the Saiwai, but now I am trapped in the imperial city, and I can't go anywhere, speaking of which, I really envy the second sister, the second sister walked out of the boudoir and did those things, how many men are ashamed to death, but unfortunately the second sister is angry with me and is not willing to deal with me." ”

Li Mingwei hurriedly spoke, "She dares!" Lao Chen was the first to spare her, and Ying Guogong couldn't spare her. ”

"Last time the second sister left the capital, I didn't have time to send her, so I sent a hundred taels of silver to make a coil, the second sister thought that this bit of silver was too little, and she didn't even say a word when she had a daughter, this is to help me save money."

Ying Guogong said with a smile, "My granddaughter was born in Mizhou, and the old minister only found out a year later. ”

"Second sister, she refuses to take care of me, Qin'er misses her sister, I want to wait for the cold weather to transfer my brother-in-law to the capital, and the second brother's family will also come back, Ziying is far away, I sent an official document two days ago, it is estimated that I should come back in about a month, and Yingguogong's family has not been reunited for seven years."

Ying Guogong's eyes were a little red, "It's hard for Your Majesty to think, the old minister's family is scattered everywhere, if it weren't for His Majesty's trouble, it would be difficult for the whole family to get together in one place, speaking of which, the old minister's little grandson is also eight years old, and the old minister hasn't seen it yet." ”

Zhou Yun said with a smile, "My second sister is bad, and the little raccoon slave pees on me as soon as she soaks in the urine." ”

Qingyu broke down from Li Mingwei's arms, raised his little face and asked, "Is the little raccoon slave back?" Father asked him to come back, right? ”

Zhou Yun glanced at him and smiled, "Your aunt is back, and the little civet slave is also back." ”

"My mother told me about the little raccoon slave, and my mother said that the little raccoon slave is bigger than me."

Zhou Qingyu, the kid talked a lot, didn't recognize life at all, looked at Ying Guogong and asked, "Grandpa Fang, isn't the little raccoon slave your grandson?" Why don't you live together? ”

Ying Guogong touched the prince's little face and smiled.

"I heard that the second brother has three daughters, you always send a letter to the second brother, and ask the second brother to bring his daughter back, and I will see it too."

Zhou Qingyu hurriedly asked, "Who is my father's second brother?" I haven't heard of it? ”

"It's your grandfather's son, your uncle's younger brother, and you'll see it then."

The emperor said these words kindly, and Ying Guogong smiled, "Your Majesty's grace, the old minister's family does not dare to ignore the rules." ”

"When you become the emperor, you are all estranged from me, and the second sister is also very alienated in the secret music, even she is also on business with me, she is not as good as my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law is still the same." Zhou Yun looked at Li Mingwei again and said with a smile, "The little raccoon slave is coming back, Father Shang is not allowed to be partial, Qing'er is also your grandson." ”

Zhou Yun said this trickily, Li Mingwei sighed, "The important weapon of the prince's country, where can the little raccoon slave compare." ”

Qing Yu raised his face and asked, "What is the juice swollen?" Does the juice froth? They say the same thing. ”

Zhou Yun asked Brother Jin again, "Brother Cheng's article is well written, it's hard for a child of his age, not only overwhelms Brother Jin'er, but in my opinion, Brother Min is not as good as him, Brother Min'er is too gorgeous, Brother Cheng is well-organized, I heard Zhang Jingong say, Brother Cheng has a clear eye for doing things, Father Shang will take them back, Brother Jin is also fourteen, right?" Shang's father listened to my advice, don't arrange a room for him, and don't get married too early, I want my brother and daughter-in-law to find a good one, and I asked Qin'er to help pay attention. ”

Li Mingwei hurriedly agreed, Zhou Yun sent someone to take care of his three sons, this kindness is bigger than the sky, and before he could say words of thanks, Xiao Qingyu hurriedly asked, "Who is Brother Cheng, Father?" ”

"It's your little uncle, you stupid boy who talks like that."

Qingyu lay on Li Mingwei's lap again, stretched out his hand and pulled his beard, "Grandpa, your beard." ”

Li Mingwei protected his beard, Qingyu ran over to pull Ying Guogong's beard, Zhou Yun dragged him over, "If you pull grandpa's beard, grandpa will also hurt, Grandpa Fang has a beautiful beard, you dare to drag it." ”

"I'll touch it gently, father, no one in the palace has a beard, and the emperor's grandfather won't let me touch my beard."

Speaking of the imperial grandfather, Xiao Qingyu was a little sad, "I miss the imperial grandfather." ”

Fang Kui and Li Mingwei hurriedly sighed, and said that Emperor Yingzong, his tone was full of nostalgia, Zhou Yun smiled faintly, his father and the emperor pushed the two of them to the end, will the two of them be afraid and resentful in their hearts? Hit and pull, the minister is not a fool.

No one said those words, they were all buried in their hearts, and this one was turned over.

The little eunuch came over and bent down and said, "Long live Lord, do you want to have a banquet?" ”

Zhou Yun nodded, "Put it in the Qingliang Palace, it's cooler here." ”

A table of vegetarian dishes is very hard-working, first look at the fruit, take the steamed noodles to make Penglai fairy, embroidered high gluttony eight fruit base, Lexian dried fruit fork bag, wisps of gold incense medicine, take bayberry, winter melon, tender bamboo shoots, carved sweet and sour flower plum balls, sweet honey winter melon fish, slightly spicy and sweet flower ginger, hot dishes are indispensable stone pot tofu, assorted shiitake mushrooms, fried monk beans.

Zhou Yun said with a smile, "There is no wine, please take care of your father, and I will keep filial piety for three years." ”

The emperor is benevolent and filial piety, this is not a joke, the imperial court has to buy tens of thousands of Khitan sheep from Hebei at the beginning of each year, raise them in the royal pasture and slaughter them regularly, after more than half a year, there are more than 30,000 yellow sheep left, the emperor left a thousand sheep for the queen mother to eat, and the rest is sold to the people by the Taicang Bureau of Taifu Temple, the emperor keeps filial piety, and the people do not have to keep it.

The ministers of the court have also been persuaded, the emperor is benevolent and filial, where is he willing to listen, even the queen mother does not want these thousand yellow sheep, they are still raised in the pasture, and none of them are slaughtered, so that the eunuchs and palace maids will suffer miserably, and the emperor has no meat on the table, what else can they eat, even the ministers are vegetarian, and they have to eat secretly if they want to eat.

Where is the emperor willing to treat himself badly, a table of dishes is very eye-catching just looking at it.

Eat yellow rice, and there are red beans and lotus seeds, just look at the color, take the plum blossom snow sugar mixed with sweet and delicious, the little prince eats half a bowl and wants to eat, Zhou Yun refuses to give, this is not easy to digest, the child has a weak spleen and stomach is not good to eat.

Li Mingwei sighed secretly in his heart while eating, the emperor really knows how to live.

Plum blossom snow sugar is as white as snow, this is processed by the catering bureau under the Taifu Temple, exclusively for court consumption, the prince promoted Feng Tianyi two years ago, after refining and processing, the snow sugar is much better than the commonly used frosted sugar, the emperor is very pleased.

Xiao Qingyu finished eating and playing for a while, and asked Li Mingwei strange questions, Zhou Yun asked Fang Kui about frontier things, the imperial court did not buy Khitan yellow sheep, I don't know how the Khitan would react?

Fang Kui's heart jumped, what the emperor did had a deep meaning, a filial piety, was actually testing the Khitan?

With such a deep meaning, which of the Manchu ministers could have imagined it, did the emperor want to use swords?

"I don't have a place to raise horses, if the Khitan intends to provoke, our dynasty has insufficient chances of victory, the soldiers don't know the generals, the generals don't know the soldiers, if there is an unexpected war, I am tired of coping."

Zhou Yun pondered, "What if the soldiers and generals are one, and the generals are no longer subject to civilian officials?" ”

Fang Kui looked at the emperor and smiled, "How can the national policy set by Emperor Gaozu be changed lightly?" ”

"You can't change everything, you can always do it in a small area, right? I'll try slowly. ”

The little prince heard it and ran over again, "What does my father want to change?" ”

Zhou Yun was afraid that the little parrot would say it, so he picked him up and handed it to the eunuch guarding outside, "It's time for the prince to take a nap, send him to sleep." ”

Zhou Yun asked about the scenery of the frontier, Fang Kui said, it was only a moment, Xiao Qingyu ran over, "Father, last time the little eunuch was on the purlin again, the imperial grandfather said that I was dazzled, really, I saw it again." ”

"What do you say? Didn't let you go to sleep? ”

"There is a little eunuch squatting on the purlin, and he disappeared in a flash, the real father, why is he on the purlin?"

Xiao Qingyu stretched out her little finger to the top of her head, and Zhou Yun's heart sank. R1152
