Zhao Xiu often called Gao Zhen "Brother Zhen", and he didn't think that his words had any special meaning, so he agreed, and then asked with some curiosity: "What you just told the prince, the court is arguing fiercely, who is arguing?" And why are you arguing? ”

Gao Zhen said with some disapproval: "It's not the important ministers of the court and the elders of the clan, it's the emperor's grandfather's nickname that is arguing." The temple name has been decided a long time ago, and 'Taizong' is directly used, but the name is inconclusive. The clan and the nobles all felt that since it was Taizong, it should naturally be worthy of the name of 'Emperor Wen', and there were many kings who took Emperor Wen as their name in Taizong throughout the ages, but the ministers felt that 'Emperor Hui' was more appropriate, and the clan and the nobles thought that this name was not good, so the two sides quarreled. ”

Through the heavens and latitudes, the text is said to be benevolent and loving to the people. If you look at the latter article, Emperor Daxing may not be worthy of the nickname of "Emperor Wen", but when it comes to the previous one, it is a joke. Although there are many Taizong in history who are called Emperor Wen, most of them are Ming monarchs, and their political achievements during their reign are also leveraged. Emperor Daxing reigned for nine years, during which there were many small chaos, the government could not be said to be clear, the harem interfered in politics, the clan and the military generals conspired to rebel, if the Emperor Daxing had a benevolent name in the past, he killed again before his death. It can be said that the serial reversal case in the ninth year of Chengqing, if it were not for the mediocrity and unclear understanding of Emperor Daxing, it would never have happened. Giving him such a good title as "Emperor Wen" is really unbearable in the hearts of those more serious scholars. What's more, before Emperor Daxing took his last breath, he issued another edict against himself, confessing his three major mistakes during his reign, namely conniving at his younger brother, misbelieving in the harem, and not knowing anyone. The emperor himself confessed his mistake. How can you praise him as Mingjun?

However, the title of "Emperor Hui" put forward by the ministers of the clan was too harsh for the nobles of the clan. The soft and benevolent people said Hui, how can you hear it. It seems to be not bad, but who are the people who are called "Emperor Hui" in history? Emperor Liu Ying of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Sima Zhen of the Jin Dynasty, and Emperor Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty were either mediocre in ability, or died early or were seized of the throne. Even if everyone knows in their hearts that Emperor Daxing is indeed mediocre, he died a relatively poor death, and he was almost taken away from the throne. But I still hope to cover up for him after his death, and I have been the emperor for nine years. Even if he is not a Ming monarch, he is the second emperor after the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty. The temple name is Taizong, just give the nickname of Emperor Wen, what's not to do? Taizong in history, most of them are known as Emperor Wen. Now it's just the number according to the rules.

Both sides have their own opinions. Neither side will budge. Today, King Guangping and Gao Zhen will leave the palace so much in advance, and it is also because the new monarch saw that the court was arguing like this, and knew that there would be no results in a short time, so he let their father and son go home to rest.

Gao Zhen actually has a little resentment towards the emperor's grandfather, after his father lost the crown prince, the emperor's grandfather took great care of him at first, but gradually turned his attention to other princes, if it wasn't for the new prince, his father's brother. also reminded the imperial grandfather from time to time, but I was afraid that the imperial grandfather had already left behind this son who had worked hard for him. This is still father and son. In contrast, the sixth prince participated in the rebellion with his biological mother, and was still able to be forgiven by the imperial grandfather, and he was still worried about the marriage of his younger son until his death, and this differential treatment was enough to make people dissatisfied.

Gao Zhen agrees with the nickname "Emperor Hui", what about the temple name Taizong? What about the second emperor of the founding of the country? The three emperors in history are not the second emperors after the founding of the country? This epithet is obviously more worthy of Emperor Daxing, but I am afraid that the new monarch and his father, as well as their biological mother, who was only recently promoted from Concubine Jiang to Empress Jiang, and now the imperial grandmother of Empress Dowager Jiang, also agree with this epithet. Emperor Daxing really brought them too much tribulation. However, due to filial piety, neither the new king nor his father could say their true thoughts, so they could only wait for a result to be fought over by the court.

Although Zhao Xiu has studied "The Book of Rites" and read history books, after all, she is still young, and her grandmother Zhang has not taught her too in-depth things, so she doesn't know much about the cats on the nickname.

She quickly turned her attention away from this matter and said to Gao Zhen: "They quarrel with them, and one day there will be a result." My brother is young and doesn't have much say in this kind of thing, and so do you. But my brother will start to stay in the palace tomorrow, and you and the prince will go too, right? Have you packed your luggage? ”

Gao Zhen thought for a while: "The things are packed up, Yanxia personally took someone to clean up, if there is anything missing, tell the imperial aunt directly, if you want to ask someone to go back to the palace to get it, it is also very cheap." Your brother is different from us, but I am afraid that it is not so convenient, so you go back and talk to him, come to eat with us every dinner, and come to talk to us when there is something. I will say hello to the people in the palace and ask them to take care of your brother more. ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly thanked him, and then asked: "Then you entered the palace and couldn't come out for twenty-seven days, what should you do in the palace?" "In fact, there is a manager in the palace, and there is Mother Cao in charge, so you don't have to worry about anything, what Zhao Xiu really wants to ask is, what about the princess's funeral?

Gao Zhen was silent again. This is an unsolvable problem, no matter how noble Princess Guangping is, she is not as good as Emperor Daxing, her husband and son have to go to guard filial piety for the emperor, and her funeral can only be put aside. The etiquette is like this, but in the eyes of relatives, it is too pitiful.

Zhao Xiu whispered, "Do you want me to come over once a day?" But I'm an outsider, so I'm afraid of not following the rules. ”

Gao Zhen didn't care about any unruly rules, just looked at her in surprise: "Is this good?" You...... You're not afraid? ”

Zhao Xiu hesitated, in fact, if she wanted to accompany the dead in the back hall, she did feel hairy in her heart, and it seemed a little silly to come over every day to cry or something, but thinking about the princess's kindness to her, she mustered up her courage: "I am indeed a little scared, but the princess was so good to me when she was alive, I want to do something for her." I don't know if there's anything I can help with, there's a manager outside, he's so capable, he takes care of everything, and there's Mother Cao inside. But Yanxia wants to enter the palace with you, and Cao's mother is too sad, if she ...... Can I give her a hand...... I mean, I'm not too stupid. I shouldn't have done you any bad things. ”

Gao Zhen looked at her steadily, and didn't speak for a long time. Zhao Xiu thought to herself, wouldn't it seem too abrupt for her to say this? I waited anxiously for his answer. Seeing that he hadn't spoken, he bit his lip and said, "You just let me talk nonsense." ”

Gao Zhen took her hand and dragged her into the back hall again.

King Guangping was still sitting on the chair next to the coffin, his posture unchanged, but this time, he heard the footsteps of his son and Zhao Xiu, and quickly looked up: "What's the matter?" ”

Gao Zhen asked him, "Father." Tomorrow, the child will follow you into the palace for a nightstay, Sister Zhao said, afraid that the mother concubine will be lonely. I am willing to come to the palace to help, but I don't know what I can do to help, and I am afraid that it will not be in accordance with the rules. What do you think? ”

King Guangping was surprised, and Zhao Xiu said a little embarrassed: "I...... I don't know if that's out of line. I just think it...... The princess was so good to me. It would be nice if I could do a little bit for her......"

King Guangping smiled slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "For funeral affairs, there is a general manager outside, and there is Mother Cao inside, but there is nothing that needs your help." Although the princess is a little lonely here, there is no reason for you to let a child accompany her. From tomorrow, call monks and Taoists to recite the scriptures. You're too young to be on this occasion. If anything, how can I see your grandmother? It's just rare for you to have a piece of your heart. If you want to come, go and sit in the main room of the west side of the courtyard. If a female guest comes to worship and stays to talk, Cao's mother's identity is not enough, and she is afraid that there will be neglect, can you help accompany the guest? ”

Just talking to the guests, Zhao Xiu felt that with his communication skills, it should not be a problem, and he hurriedly said: "The prince can trust me, I will definitely try to do a good job." ”

King Guangping smiled and nodded: "If the guest asks what is your relationship with the princess and why you treat guests at her funeral, you can say ......"

Zhao Xiu preemptively said: "The princess is my benefactor and my elder. ”

King Guangping smiled again, shook his head, and said, "You just said that the princess has a half-teacher friendship with you, and has taught you many things. If someone asks me from outside, I will answer him the same way. ”

The relationship between half of the student and the teacher is undoubtedly stronger than the relationship between the benefactor and the beneficiary. Zhao Xiu remembered what he had learned from the princess, and also recognized this statement, solemnly bowed to King Guangping, and agreed.

Then she asked Gao Zhen: "Then will I call you senior brother in the future?" ”

Gao Zhen pursed his lips: "You haven't officially apprenticed, just call Brother Zhen directly." He looked at the sky outside: "It's not early, you go back early, I'll send you." ”

After the two left, King Guangping caressed the lid of his wife's coffin and said softly: "Sister Xiu'er is really a good child, isn't it?" You like her too, don't you? ”

The coffin naturally would not answer him, and the breeze outside the hall blew, blowing the flags in a chaotic manner, and the king of Guangping whispered again: "Do you agree with my words?" In fact, although she is young, she is only three years younger than our Zhen'er, and there is not much difference between the two, if she can be Zhen'er's daughter-in-law in the future, it would be good, if not, I will recognize her as our goddaughter, what do you think? ”

Another gust of wind blew, and the sky was overcast, and it began to rain again.

Gao Zhen carried an umbrella all the way, sent Zhao Xiu to the gate, handed the umbrella in his hand to her, watched her get into the carriage, and said: "Be careful on the road, if it rains too much, you don't have to come every day." ”

Zhao Xiu lifted the curtain and watched the little guy raise another umbrella behind him, blocking the rain on his head, before he put down his heart and smiled at him and said, "How can you break your promise if you promise?" Don't worry, I know what I know. Suddenly, she saw the Zhong family's carriage on the side of the road, which was a hundred feet away, and she lowered her voice and said, "It seems to be your cousin Zhong over there, she comes every day, she parks the car there, and she doesn't show up, she just cries every day." ”

Gao Zhen had already heard the report from the people of the palace, and said casually: "Don't worry about her, she doesn't dare to come over." ”

Zhao Xiu persuaded him: "Now that it is a national funeral, the marriage of the Marquis of Shanyin is naturally impossible to talk about, the Zhong family can breathe, and they refuse to resign, and I don't know what will happen." You should be more careful, and don't get into his way again. He narrowed his voice again: "Even if there is that letter, if they think that the princess is newly mourned, you will not kill them all, and you may have nothing to fear." ”

Gao Zhen frowned. (To be continued......)
