Chapter 534: New Year
Zhao Xiu didn't know that after bidding farewell to the princess of Fenyang, there was such a conversation between the two noble ladies who met on the road. When she got home, she reported the words of the princess of Fenyang to the Zhang family, and went to her own business.
On the second day, the princess of Fenyang entered the palace under the escort of her son, and was going to stay in Cining Palace for a few days, get together with the queen mother and the old concubine, and talk about some common words. The Queen Mother and the Emperor both had rewards sent to the Fenyang Palace, and the King of Fenyang respectfully accepted them, and also started the exchange of gifts between relatives and friends during the New Year. According to the customs of this dynasty, the clan should not associate with foreign ministers, but no one can stop the clan and the royal family from discussing kinship. Wang Fenyang has been in Jiading for a long time, and he took this opportunity to consolidate his contacts in Beijing.
Because the princess of Fenyang was obviously courteous in the palace, compared with the ladies of the clan of other generations, she was particularly dignified, and people from the outside world saw it and respected the king of Fenyang for three points. Not only did other clans and royal relatives come to the palace in an endless stream to visit the king of Fenyang, but even the princess of Fenyang in the palace was often flattered by the princesses, concubines, and concubines. Naturally, there are inevitably people who beat her up and want to ask her to help her talk about things to achieve various goals.
The princess of Fenyang had already been mentally prepared, and she always smiled, but she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, and she wouldn't say a word in front of the queen mother, which was very eye-catching. This made the queen mother and the emperor more satisfied with her, and correspondingly, the king of Fenyang received more and more awards, and became more and more prestigious in the clan, and even surpassed the king of Guangping, who was the head of the clan, and the old county king who served as the commander of the sect's mansion.
However, he himself is still very low-key and humble, but it is difficult to say whether he is a polite image, because if anyone dares to praise him too high, and he has to say half a sentence about the king of Guangping, he must scold the other party: "What are you?" Dare to destroy my brother in front of me? Which of them is more personable and gentle, and which one can you evaluate? He is the emperor's own brother, and the emperor naturally respects him more. You say that my saint is stronger than him, but what kind of person do you think of the emperor? It's bullshit! ”
When these words spread, there were fewer people who flattered and flattered him by stepping on others in front of him, and some courtiers secretly slandered in their hearts: it really deserves to be a clan, even if it is dressed in a gentle and polite skin, the bottom is still vulgar.
As for the emperor? Naturally, the emperor only has to praise the king of Fenyang, because what the king of Fenyang said is "real". As for what he thinks in his heart, no one knows.
King Guangping now lives in the palace, and is personally watched by the Queen Mother, receiving treatment from Dr. Ye. The doctors headed by the Tai Hospital all revolved around him, all the medicines were the best, and the prescribed medicines would be reviewed by the three medical officers before they were put into the medicine jar, and even the boiling medicines were judged by the right court to be done by themselves, and they refused to be handed over to the waiters. The residue is divided into a bag of land, with the date and hour marked on it, and there is a special place to store it. As for other procedures such as drug testing, boiling and applying eye white cloths, not to mention.
Under such strict measures, if anyone can do anything, it is really very unlikely. Moreover, the Queen Mother also ordered that if anyone dares to be careless, they will be replaced immediately; If someone goes on a business trip, they should be thrown out of the hospital immediately; If anyone dares to do evil...... Then he was directly executed, his family was raided, and even his family was killed. The Tai Hospital was trembling up and down, even if there was still a little bit of jealousy and hatred for Dr. Ye, now there is nothing left. They only wanted him to be skilled enough to heal King Quang Binh's eyes smoothly and smoothly, so that everyone could go home in peace.
The queen mother suddenly stared at her eldest son so tightly for medical treatment, and the emperor felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. In this palace, can anyone still hurt the king of Guangping? The king of Guangping is in Jiading, and he doesn't need to be so strictly guarded, why did he return to Beijing and live in the palace, and the queen mother should be so vigilant? It was as if someone in the palace would harm King Guangping.
The emperor was a little worried, was the Queen Mother wary of him? The Queen Mother never thought like this in the past, could it be that her nephew Gao Zhen said something in front of her old man? The emperor was a little troubled, in the past, this nephew was very close to him, how come the older he grows now, the more he has a relationship with him?
The royal brother, King Guangping, did not say anything about his own son.
The emperor had resentment in his heart, but more of a worry. Gao Zhen and him became more and more separated, the queen mother seemed to be more wary of him, and the king of Guangping did not dissuade the two. Seeing that King Guangping's eyes were slowly getting better, would the officials of the court think that he was the one who should sit on that chair?
The emperor considered himself to have great respect for his brother and believed that he would not betray him. But people's hearts are fickle, in the past, my brother was blind because of his blindness, so he decisively asked to abdicate, and when his eyes regain sight in the future, will he really not be half unwilling? Even if his brother had no intention of hurting him, what would the people who had followed him think? They were originally his supporters, but it is difficult to say whether they are loyal or not. But if he is asked to give up his throne, it will never be. He is already the emperor, give up this position, where is there still a way to live? He didn't dare to bet.
The emperor really felt very irritable, and the empress was unconscious, and it was no longer the interpretation flower of the past. The eldest son of the emperor is quite stable, but he is too young, and he has just entered the court to learn government affairs, and he is still very jerky. But even so, some people began to stand in line and wanted to take refuge in the emperor's eldest son, is he really the emperor dead? He has only been on the throne for less than three years, he is in the prime of life, and he is still far from death, should those people be so impatient? As for the second son of the emperor, he is still an ignorant child, he only messes around all day long, and he doesn't respect his brother enough, how does the queen teach her children? The little princess was sick twice in three days, which made people worry about whether she could be raised, and the queen couldn't even take good care of her daughter. He should forbid those women who don't know the so-called to enter the palace and slander her......
The clans did not stop, he specially gave King Fenyang extra dignity, the other party was so blind, and the elders persuaded him to use the royal family of the clan multiple times. How dare he? The King of Jinyang is still a yin and yang weird look, and the Marquis of Shanyin doesn't know if he is still connected with the rebel party. After three years of filial piety, it's time to revisit the marriage of the Marquis of Shanyin, which lady does he choose?
However, even if the emperor had so many troubles, he still had to put on a posture of wisdom in front of people, smile and honor his mother, reward his brothers and nephews, comfort the royal family, and appease the courtiers...... Never let anyone see what's on your mind.
In the blink of an eye, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace is full of laughter, and the outside of the palace is also lively. Jiannanhou Mansion had already prepared a banquet and was ready to eat a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. This year, the Zhao family came extraordinarily, in addition to the grandchildren of the second room, there were also people in the third room, the fifth room outside, and the sixth room outside, and the family of the uncle of the Mi family also arrived in the capital a few days ago.
He came to report on his work, but unfortunately he came late, and the yamen had already sealed his pen. Zhao Xiu asked someone to take Zhao Wei's name card and hand it to the ministry, and asked the person on duty in the ministry's department to write down his name.
Uncle Mitang did not have a house in Beijing, and lived in a rented house in the old years. Now that I entered Beijing late, it is difficult to find a place in the New Year. It just so happened that Wu Laixing helped Zhao Xiu find a house that could be used for rent, and got two new ones, one of which was located outside Chongwen Gate, although there was only one entry, the place was large, very clean and elegant, and the furniture was readily available. Zhao Xiu lent this house to Uncle Mi's family for a temporary stay, and then a room for the family, according to Zhao Kun's example, the porter, the cook and the coachman are complete, and there is no problem with life.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Zhao family worshipped their ancestors in the ancestral hall of their own mansion and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The clansmen had to keep the New Year, but Zhang, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu went to bed early. Zhang and Zhao Wei were going to attend the New Year's party the next day, so they got up early, so they naturally had to go to bed early. Zhao Xiu made a special decree a few days ago, ordering her to accompany her grandmother Zhang into the palace together, so she had to seize the time to rest.
She had been busy for the New Year for many days, so tired that she fell asleep every day with her head on the pillow, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, she was extremely tired, and she almost fell asleep on the edge of the kang. As soon as I slept until the third watch, I was woken up. In a daze, she asked the girls to wait and change their coats, combed their hair, and Bihan sent a bowl of ginger soup over, she drank a few sips, and suddenly the whole person was sober.
Zhao Wei dressed early, went to Zhang's courtyard by himself, and sent someone to urge Zhao Xiu. Zhao Xiu walked all the way with his eyes drooping, and asked the mother-in-law in charge all the way: "How much trouble did you make last night?" Have the old men and wives slept? The mother-in-law hurriedly replied, "They all fell asleep." Master Mi and Uncle Sanfang Kun kept the New Year's Eve, played chess by the fireside, and slept after the third watch......"
When she arrived at Zhang's courtyard, she was also dressed, dressed in a commanding costume, heavy and gorgeous, which made her look extremely thin. But she didn't care, but looked at Zhao Xiu, and looked quite satisfied: "Our sister Xiu is also a big girl, and this dress is more stable than other girls." ”
Zhao Xiu smiled dryly: "Grandmother, it's not too early, let's go quickly." ”
Zhao Wei smiled and nodded: "It's time to go." ”
He rode a horse, Zhao Xiu accompanied the Zhang family in the car, and the three of them rushed to the main gate of the palace. Before dawn, the road was already lit with sporadic lights, but it was the officials and edicts who also rushed to the palace to participate in the New Year's court. When they arrived at the main gate of the imperial city, the ministers and their dependents had to go two separate ways. Zhao Wei went to the Taihe Palace, Zhao Xiu helped Zhang, and slowly walked to the Jiaotai Hall under the guidance of the inner servant.
In the New Year's Day, the edicts were supposed to pay homage to the queen. It's just that the queen has been ill for a long time and it is impossible to appear, and the one who presides over this ceremony becomes the queen mother.
Zhao Xiu practiced many times when he was at home, and he didn't go on any trips today. The ceremony that began early in the morning took more than an hour to finally finish, the sky was bright, and the sun was rising. The Queen Mother wants to go back to Cining Palace to change her clothes, and she will order a few pleasing female dependents to accompany her, and the others will almost disperse. The Zhang family was originally a person valued by the Queen Mother, and today he was also courteous, and took Zhao Xiu to Cining Palace with him. Other undignified people saw envy, jealousy, and hatred, and couldn't help but discuss it in private.
Mrs. Meishanbo, who looked haggard, looked at their distant backs in the crowd, and felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to bring her daughter here, but her daughter didn't get the grace, and even her mother-in-law, Mrs. Qiu, got the "grace" and ordered her to rest at home. This has never been done before.
The Qiu family, could it be true that they fell like this? But where did they go wrong? Has the Queen Lady forgotten her promise? (To be continued.) )
