When the ancestors of the Zhao family returned home, the Zhang family was still a little uneasy. She didn't bother to change her clothes, so she sent out all the waiting staff, grabbed her grandchildren and said, "What the emperor said today...... Is it a suggestion that we should not make too many friends with others? Although the emperor is happy to reuse Brother Wei in the future, but ...... Others are upside down, how can our family and the Guangping Royal Mansion be torn apart? Besides, the emperor shouldn't be tabooing the prince, right? ”

Although King Guangping was blind, he was the eldest brother of the new emperor after all. Before the death of Emperor Daxing, Concubine Jiang Shufei was righted as the queen, and the new emperor became the prince of the emperor, and the succession was justified, even if the first five princes who were mistakenly succeeded King Jinyang returned to the royal family again, as the prince of the concubine, he did not pose a threat to the throne of the new emperor. But King Guangping is different, the new emperor is a grandson, he is also a concubine, he also occupies the long, and once served as a prince, he has never made a mistake, and even made great contributions to the country. When the new emperor was still the crown prince in the past, he relied on his eldest brother a lot, so he naturally respected and loved him. But now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, will he change his mind?

Zhao Xiu didn't think so, she analyzed for Zhang's family: "Today, the emperor came to see the prince, and the meaning of the words was that he still respected the prince very much, but the prince said that he was not in good health and wanted to recuperate, and the implication was that he didn't plan to get involved in politics too much in the future?" also hinted to the emperor that he should not rely too much on the ministers, but should cultivate his own team more, and in a few years, the ministers will be able to leave the position of real power and be honored, and the emperor will be able to control all the power in the court. The emperor also attaches great importance to the construction of the prince, and repeatedly said that he will come to ask the prince for advice. The prince said that if he could help the emperor. It is the honor of being a courtier. I think that in this conversation, the emperor and the prince have reached a consensus. The prince is dedicated to the emperor's sake. I don't plan to take care of too many things in the court, which means avoiding suspicion. But the emperor hoped that the prince could help him share his worries, and the prince reluctantly agreed. Grandmother, you see, if the emperor is really taboo about the prince, when the prince says that he wants to recuperate, he pushes the boat down the river to let the prince recuperate with peace of mind, why do you have to ask the prince for advice in the future? ”

Zhang was silent.

Zhao Wei also said: "Our brother and sister used to go north by boat. has been with the emperor for more than a month, and knows that he is a human being, and he is not that kind of person. Besides, does King Guangping have anything to be taboo for the emperor? If the king of Quang Binh can take power. Now there is nothing to do with the emperor. King Guangping suddenly lost his throne at the beginning, and he may be unwilling, but this unwillingness is not to rush to the emperor, and he also supported his younger brother to take over the throne back then. The emperor must have known this. The king of Quang Binh will be respected. They were brothers. One mother is born, one is prosperous, one is lost, and the king of Guangping has an eye disease, and it is absolutely impossible to really go to the front of the stage to take power. If the emperor is still taboo in this way, it will attract criticism and lose the support of the people, wouldn't it be worth the loss? ”

Zhang sighed: "So to speak. I did overthink it. During the reign of Emperor Daxing, the battle between the prince and the prince was really dangerous. It's terrifying to watch. I've become a frightened bird, only in the royal family, everyone fights for power and profit, regardless of family affection. ”

Zhao Xiu thought to himself how dangerous can this battle for the prince be in succession? In total, one person died, or the person himself was too afraid of seeking death. There are more sinister succession grabbing in history than this. Grandmother's concerns are not unreasonable, but now the situation is different, and the king of Guangping can't see it, so he can't pose a threat to the new emperor at all. Even if his eyes are cured, the throne is still his younger brother's, because before Emperor Daxing died, he personally said that the fourth son of the emperor is of noble character, generous temperament, and suitable for succeeding to the throne, and the new emperor's throne is justified, not because of his descendants, nor is he naturally succeeded to the throne after the emperor's death as a prince. If the new emperor is smart, he should be as good as possible to his brother, and try his best to help him cure his eyes, and he will be extremely happy when he is cured, so as to show his benevolence and righteousness. And as far as Zhao Xiu knows, the IQ of the new emperor is not low.

Speculation about the relationship between the emperor and the king of Guangping came to an end for the time being. The Zhang family now believes that their brothers are still very harmonious, and presumably the Great Chu Dynasty will have a peaceful life in the future. However, she was still a little worried about the emperor's praise before leaving. It is naturally a good thing to be valued by the emperor, but if he becomes a lonely minister, I am afraid that his grandson will not have a good time in the future. Because being a lonely minister often means being disliked.

Zhao Wei felt that his grandmother was thinking too much: "Our family is different from others, we are the most loyal to the new emperor in the eyes of the world, and we are naturally trusted by the new emperor." People with crooked thoughts naturally dare not approach our family, and people who are also loyal to the emperor and fulfill their duties, how can the emperor object to our family befriending them? Besides, it's too early to say this, your grandson is still young, don't you still let your grandson study well, at least you have to take the test to make a name for yourself? The grandson has been knighted, and there is no need to think about the fame of the Jinshi, but the township test is still certain. When the grandson becomes a lifter, it will be a few years later. ”

Zhao Xiu also said: "Yes, grandmother, maybe the emperor just asked my brother to do things honestly in the future and be a fair and capable minister?" It's like a grandfather. ”

Zhang's expression softened: "That's right." When your grandfather was alive, he was a very upright and fair person, and the government and the opposition knew that Emperor Daxing, the new emperor, and the king of Guangping admired him very much, and the new emperor must also look forward to Wei Ge'er being a person like his grandfather. ”

Zhao Xiu secretly wiped his sweat, it's better not to do this. grandfather gave birth to an unsuccessful eldest son, who lost all the face of the Zhao family, and it was really not a good example to break his muscles and bones.

On the second day, I don't know if it was related to the words of the new emperor in the Guangping Palace, the palace gave a lot of things to the Zhao family, and also praised the old county prince in the will, and threw any nice words on his head, as if he was a rare saint in the world. The new emperor also gave a new plaque, with the words "Jiannan Hou Mansion" written on it, which was hung by Zhao Wei on the door of the renovated Hou Mansion. This is a rare grace. In the capital, the noble princes who can get the king's own handwritten plaque can be counted on one hand.

Of course, there is a private allusion here, it is said that Emperor Taizu's handwriting is not very good, and he has never refused to give words to his subordinates, let alone the plaque hanging on the door. Emperor Daxing's handwriting is a little better, which can be regarded as the level of a normal person, but the princes and ministers have a bad impression of him, and they will never ask him for words if they have nothing to do, so there are very few people with imperial pen plaques. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Zhao family was still the first person to receive this honor, and they were really lucky. Because the new emperor's handwriting is still very good, much better than that of his grandfather and father.

After the palace envoy left, Zhang touched the new plaque of the imperial pen and began to cry silently. She choked up and said: "When your grandfather was alive, he once mentioned that Emperor Taizu did not like to give his own handwriting to his subordinates. Your grandfather once made a bet with someone that he must get the handwriting of Emperor Taizu, and he tried his best to do so, but in the end he still lost, and lost a new good horse, and he kept thinking about it. Later, when Emperor Daxing ascended the throne, your grandfather joked with me, saying that this time I wanted to ask for a copy of the king's handwriting, it must not be difficult, right? It's a pity that there were a lot of things at that time, and he couldn't bother to discuss it for a while, and then he suddenly disappeared, and naturally no one mentioned this matter again......"

As a result, now that another new emperor has ascended the throne, the old county prince's wish has finally come true.

Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu were a little uncomfortable when they heard it, and hurriedly comforted Zhang. Zhang lowered his head and wiped his tears, raised his head, and already brought a smile: "Grandmother just remembered the past for a while and felt something." You don't have to worry. Then he looked at the things in the room: "What did the emperor give us?" ”

There are many things given by the new emperor, not to mention pearls, gems, gold and silver satins, and there are also some items made inside. Zhang got several boxes of precious medicinal materials and supplements, Zhao Wei got a lot of new books and stationery supplies, and Zhao Xiu also got a whole box of exquisite jewelry, all of which were brightly colored gemstones, and at a glance he knew that it was for the little girl. Therefore, it is the height of summer, and it is almost June, and among the things given by the emperor, there are extremely beautifully woven hibiscus and all kinds of palace fans. Zhao Xiu picked up a fan woven of ivory silk, and admired the ingenuity and skills of the ancient craftsmen.

After Zhang saw the things, he said to his grandchildren: "Pick a few things that need to be used, take them back, and put the others away first." Since the emperor has given a plaque, the matter of repairing the Hou Mansion should also be put on the agenda. Tomorrow, we will go to the Hou Mansion to take a look, there are some places that need to be cleaned up. The charter was decided early, and it was better to find a pattern and a pattern. Now it is in the national funeral, only marriage, drinking, feasting and recreation, but I can't help but start the ground, but the construction is too conspicuous, or wait for the 100-day national funeral to say. The drawings are finalized first, and then the money is raised to buy wood and masonry, find good craftsmen, and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August to pass, and then start work. ”

She also motioned to her granddaughter: "Sister Xiu'er has been by my side since Ming'er, and you can also see how I take care of affairs." The matter of renovating the house, although it looks troublesome, but as long as you get started, it is not very difficult, but it is a little more cumbersome. If you learn from me, you'll know what to do when you need to take care of things like house repairs, buying things, managing craftsmen, etc. ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly got up and responded, "Yes." ”

Zhao Wei is a man, and he can accompany him when he looks at the house, but he doesn't have to worry about other trivial matters. Zhang's meaning: "You are good at home studying and practicing martial arts, and the emperor has high expectations for you." Zhao Wei reluctantly agreed.

Zhao Xiu secretly snickered and grimaced at him.

Zhao Wei glared back, just as Zhang turned his head to look over, he hurriedly lowered his head and coughed twice to cover up the past, and opened the topic: "There are still old servants who were given back by Emperor Daxing over there in the Hou Mansion, since the Hou Mansion is going to start repairing, do these people also have to be resettled?" ”

Zhang nodded. Those old servants are almost dry, and how to place them should indeed be decided as early as possible, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

The grandfather and grandson were discussing, and Lu's mother suddenly came in with a post and asked to see her. Seeing that she was holding the post in her hand, Zhang was a little curious: "Who sent it?" ”

Lu's mother opened the post and showed her: "It was sent by the old lady of the General Zhuguo's mansion, saying that she hadn't seen her for many years, and she missed it very much, so please ask the old lady, the Hou Ye and the girl to come over the house for a small gathering in two days." (To be continued......)
