Chapter 13: The Prince

Cao Mu said these words, all of which were the truth, not to be said to make a joke, nor to make a play, let alone to win the sympathy of his second brother Cui.

Cui Yongzhong was also one of the parties involved in the heart-wrenching incident that implicated the two governments the year before last, what did he not know about the ravine?

He and Cao Mu, the two brothers and sisters, are the most direct victims.

Cui Yongzhong was able to lock himself in the courtyard for a year, and tortured himself like this, of course, Cao Mu would not be much better than him.

It's just that because the temperaments of the two are very different, the later development is also very different.

Cui Yongzhong, who listened to these words, had to believe it, and he had to agree with it.

No matter what, the deceased has passed away, and the children left behind are all innocent, and Cao Mu's dedication to the pair of children born by the Xiang family already shows how his character is.

At the moment, Cui Yongzhong had four or five hearts to move, but he was a little more active.

At the moment, he asked Cao Mu with a smile: "Listening to what you say, it's not impossible to go out for a walk, anyway, I'm like this now, it doesn't make a big difference at home or traveling." ”

"It's you, the general affairs of your Ming'an Hou Mansion have always been handled by you alone, and now that you are picking your son and leaving, can your eldest brother agree?"

Cao Mu heard this, "Hey, there are a lot of capable people around my eldest brother, so I have to be there?" The reason why he threw everything at me was just because he was afraid that I would be too idle and would cause trouble for him. ”

"Besides, I'm going to Jiangnan this time. Ben also has some things to deal with, to put it mildly, your brother and I, in terms of business, are still a little immersed. ”

"Our Ming'an Hou Mansion has a lot of business in the south in the past few years, this time our brothers will go over together, and my brother will inevitably take you around and take a look."

His smug look was not disguised at all, and Cui Yongzhong was very amused.

But. He quickly said with some apprehension: "Now is the national mourning. And the family affairs of the athletes will have to wait for the three-month mourning period to pass, even if we want to go, I'm afraid we won't be able to make the trip for a while? ”

As soon as Cao Mu heard this, he knew that today was a worthwhile trip. happily stroked his palm and said, "Haha." The second brother only needs to promise to get better. As for the day of departure, it is natural to wait until the nephew's family affairs are finished. ”

"It will be the beginning of spring, let's take advantage of the spring breeze. Wouldn't it be beautiful to sail all the way south? ”

As soon as Cui Yongzhong heard what he said, he stroked his gray beard and gently bowed his head, if he really waited for his eldest son to get married before leaving, then he would not have to worry about family affairs.

At this point, Cui Wanqing's trip to Jiangnan, which she had been thinking about for a long time, was finally put to fruition, and it was no longer a fantasy

In the palace, from the mourning to the coffin of the emperor and queen, it was properly placed in the main hall of the imperial mausoleum, and it was enough to toss for a month.

This is all because of the time that the first emperor lingered on the sickbed, for more than half a year, looking at the situation of Emperor Jingyuan, the imperial mausoleum is naturally speeding up the pace more and more.

Otherwise, a national funeral for two or three months would not be without precedent in the history of the Great Jing Dynasty.

After the settlement was completed, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials from the desolate imperial mausoleum a hundred miles away to the prosperous capital, and everyone was greatly relieved.

The new emperor sympathized with the hard work of the ministers, and took a three-day holiday to let the officials rest, which was considerate and won countless praises.

Three days later, Qi Xuanzhen welcomed him at the magnificent and splendid Jinluan Palace, the first official court meeting after he became emperor.

At such an important moment that must be recorded in the history books, it is indispensable that the emperor also issue some important decrees to meet the occasion.

Sure enough, after the ministers congratulated him with the big gift of three long live calls, Qi Xuanzhen was a little unconcealable and ordered the ministers to calm down.

He was not in a hurry to read the decree, but was very pleasant and had a friendly and kind conversation with the ministers.

Seeing that the tense atmosphere had turned around, he signaled Tian Qi, the current head of the Hui Si Palace, to read the edict to the hundred officials.

As everyone expected, Qi Xuanzhen's biological mother Concubine Jing Niangniang is the Empress Dowager Ciyuan, Princess Lu of Jin is Empress Hui'an, and Qi Xuanli, King of Ruijun, is King Rui.

And the only one that jumped out of people's unexpected title was that Qi Xuanhui, the king of Liangjun, was named the king of Liang.

You must know that although this prince was raised under the knees of the Empress Dowager Ciyuan, he is not a fellow mother of today's saints.

Even if the queen mother loves Qi Xuanhui a lot on weekdays, the emperor and King Rui also love him a lot, and it has always been a harmonious situation of mother and son, brother and brother

But compared with Qi Xuanhui's younger brother, Qi Xuanli is still a little worse.

Besides, Qi Xuanhui's age is not very old, he has neither merit nor achievements, how can he be looked down upon by the saint and promoted to the king?

At the moment, these officials inevitably exchanged information with their eyes at the bottom.

Regardless of the court, how these officials discussed this matter in private, and how they disdained it on their faces, but secretly wanted to get on the pole.

No matter how those angry princes are jealous and envious of Qi Xuanhui's shit luck in their hearts, they inevitably want to curse him, they have a life to win the throne, but they have no life to enjoy Qingfu.

Only the Ministry of Works, which was building the Liangjun Mansion for Qi Xuanhui, was called to stop work at the moment.

Just wait for the new design, the drawings of the Liangwang Mansion come out, and then they can be built again.

"Thirteenth brother, have you thought about it? Now that you are the good king of our Dajing Dynasty, you can completely re-locate the palace. ”

"Or are you going to be neighbors with your ninth brother? Really won't change your mind? In the imperial study, Qi Xuanzhen was scooping the cheese with a silver spoon, and couldn't help it, so he asked Qi Xuanhui what he meant.

As early as ten days ago, he had already revealed the news that he was going to be crowned king with this younger brother who had no credit on the name, but behind his back, he had made great contributions.

Qi Xuanhui heard that he would be crowned king. There is nothing surprised in my heart, because there is no difference from the previous life, the same thing has been experienced twice, and no matter how exciting it is, it has become nothing unusual.

But on this side, it cannot be left unexpressed.

Qi Xuanhui was frightened and happy, and thanked him again and again, he really made a gesture, looking at Qi Xuanzhen's grateful eyes, which made Qi Xuanzhen feel comfortable all over his body.

That's how the temper of the new emperor is. As long as it's someone who is drawn by him. That's definitely not stingy to give.

If you want to say that Qi Xuanhui has nothing to say to his sixth brother, he really has nothing to say.

Qi Xuanzhen needs money, so he will pay, even if he has no cash in hand. I had to find a way to conjure up the money.

Qi Xuanzhen needs people. That's out of the way. Not only did Qi Xuanhui do his best before and after the saddle, but also did his best to win the hearts of Qi Xuanzhen as much as possible. Recruit people.

Now many of the civil and military ministers who support Qi Xuanzhen in the court are secretly pulled by Qi Xuanhui.

Qi Xuanzhen is the most resentful person, love will be loved to the extreme, and hate will be hated to the extreme.

Since at the beginning, Qi Xuanhui was able to give him all of himself without reservation when he needed help the most.

Then it is not surprising that after he ascends the throne, he will follow his own heart to repay this heartfelt younger brother.

Qi Xuanzhen also used his brains to reward Qi Xuanhui with something.

If you want to reward some money and treasures, this is really not interesting for Qi Xuanhui, who has gold mines and iron mines.

Why don't you just reward a beauty?

Hehe, as soon as Qi Xuanzhen thought of the beauty, he thought of his younger brother, and as soon as he woke up from a serious injury, he pulled himself and asked the Cui family's ninth miss to come along.

Miss Cui Jiu, the new emperor of the Dajing Dynasty, couldn't help but think of Concubine Hua, who was pregnant with the emperor, and Cui Yongxin, who ignored everything for himself and went out to recover the silver owed by the treasury.

Of course, Cui Changjian, who was young and capable, was also indispensable.

Thinking about it like this, the Cui family is a family that is completely on his side, and their family has even stood aside when the court situation is not clear, and firmly chooses to support him.

It is not unacceptable for such a person who has made great contributions to his ascension to the throne to have another good princess.

But this matter is not in a hurry, although Qi Xuanhui is fifteen years old this year, but the ninth lady of the Cui family is only thirteen after the New Year, let's wait a minute.

Thinking about it like this, Qi Xuanzhen really felt that there was only one throne that could be obtained.

He first discussed with Mr. Han Ning, who was originally bent on letting Qi Xuanhui inherit what he had learned.

But because his master ascended the throne as the emperor and was as smart as him, not only did he never mention this matter again, but also quietly cooperated with Qi Xuanhui, and the two continued to get along like ice.

Hearing the master's inquiry, Han Ning didn't dare to be perfunctory, and seriously analyzed the gains and losses, definitely standing on the position of Zhongzheng, and did not show favoritism at all.

After this analysis, the master and servant looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that Qi Xuanhui, a good king, had been sealed.

So, the two new princes of the Wenhua Dynasty of our Dajing Dynasty are now hot!

The title of the prince is one level higher than that of the king of the county, and the layout of the mansion will be correspondingly much larger.

Originally, next to the Ruijun Palace, there were not too many vacant boundaries, and in order to build a county palace, it had already been merged into the four nearby mansions.

But this is not finished yet, and Qi Xuanhui has been promoted to the prince without stopping, this is good, the original county palace is bound to be expanded into a palace again.

But if it is according to the regulations of the palace, then the relocation of the official mansions in the vicinity will inevitably be a bit too much.

According to the meaning of the Ministry of Industry, it is better to build a new Liangwang Mansion directly near Yulin Lake.

It is a royal garden, with a lake in front of it and a beautiful hill behind it, with gorgeous scenery and spacious boundaries.

The Liangwang Mansion is built here, which can be said to be the most suitable.

As for the Liangjun Palace, which originally built more than half of it, it can be used for King Rui to expand the palace.

Such a plan is much simpler and easier than expanding two palaces on the original site of the Ruijun Palace.

But the people of the Ministry of Industry, no matter how perfect the plan is, the king of the people just shakes his head and is unwilling.

He was willing to pay for his own expenses to move out of the nearby official households, and he could have found a new house for them elsewhere, definitely no smaller than their current yard.

But his good king's mansion is to be next to the Rui king's mansion.

Qi Xuanzhen wanted his two younger brothers to live comfortably, and he had rarely persuaded him twice.

As a result, Qi Xuanhui's idea was not right, and Qi Xuanli also followed blindly and said, "The younger brother is not too crowded, and he doesn't care about any regulations, so let the thirteenth brother build a mansion next to the younger brother." ”

Originally, a diehard, it would be quite difficult to talk about it, and if you add another one who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, even the emperor will have a headache.

No, taking advantage of Qi Xuanli's absence, Qi Xuanzhen took the opportunity to mention it again, after all, if the officials here really start to be moved, it will be difficult to change their minds.

"If you go back to the saint, the younger brother has already decided, the younger brother promised the ninth brother that as long as he goes out of the palace to build a mansion, he will accompany him next to him, how can the eldest husband break his word?"

"Besides, this palace is bigger, smaller, what's there? Anyway, it's a can't be lived, and the younger brother doesn't mind at all. What Qi Xuanhui said, the words were all from the heart.

The first person he wants to compensate in this life is Cui Wanqing, the second is his ninth brother, and the third is the current Empress Dowager Ciyuan.

These three people, in their previous lives, either gave him true affection or paid for their lives.

But this deep friendship was stepped into the sludge ditch by himself, and it was ruined.

Now, isn't Qi Xuanhui going to repay the past one by one?

As for the remaining little bit of selfishness, it is still to let the saint in front of him rest assured.

In any case, King Rui is a compatriot of the Holy Mother, and his own home next to King Rui's Mansion is also a sign of loyalty in another sense.

Qi Xuanzhen frowned, and was about to say more, but was interrupted by a sharp voice outside the door, "Lord Rui has arrived." ”

I heard that the curtain was open outside, and he stepped forward to serve the prince to relieve the big trouble, and after a while, the prince Rui, who was wearing a white python dragon robe, strode into the inner hall.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and when Qi Xuanzhen screamed, he got up and sat down beside Qi Xuanhui.

Before he could sit down on his ass, he poked his head into the jade bowl in Qi Xuanzhen's hand, and asked with a smile, "What good things are used in the Holy Lord?" Smell the fragrance. ”

"Let my brother give me a copy, my brother just came from the queen mother's side, and I ate a belly of green vegetables and tofu, which is really uncomfortable, so hurry up and press it with some flavor."

Empress Dowager Ciyuan knew that her Empress Dowager throne was taken by her sons by bloody means.

It's not that she is hypocritical, she killed the first queen, took the throne of others, and then ate fasting and chanting Buddha for others to see.

It's really that this person is getting older, and he has experienced more storms and waves, and he thinks more and more.

The sons of the Queen Mother, each of them is in the right year, she has nothing else, she has to pray for her sons and grandchildren, right? (To be continued......)
